Guild Wars 2

Hello there, just a few things I wanted to ask if we can see some changes on. Sorry if these topics have already been posted and or this is the wrong spot for them.

1st Topic: Ascended and Supplies Vendor
In the Raid Practice Area, with the Golem and you test rotations and builds out for dps, it would be REALLY awesome if there was a vendor that sold Ascended Armor, Weapons, Trinkets, Back Pieces, Sigils, and Runes. Of course when you left the Practice area the armor and everything bought from the vendor would be destroyed, removed, or whatever. The benefits of this, is so people can test out builds more easily instead of spending a lot of time farming gold and mats to make the armor. This also allows a chance for other stat groups, besides the 5-7 stat groups in the meta, to maybe be made into a viable build. Cause as state above there are 20+ stat groups, but only a small handful are used. Doing so will hopefully allow people to test more builds out and maybe each class can have more than 1-2 builds for raids, fractals, etc. It was brought to my attention, that a issue with this is, people use the Practice area to do raid tryouts and people would use this vendor to cheat at tryouts. A solution to this could be placing a buff on the person, that is always first on the list, so it cannot be covered up, saying, “I am wearing borrowed armor!” or something along those lines.

Topic 2: Leather
I am sure everyone is aware of the HUGE leap in price on leather, specially Hardened Leather Sections. To make a full set of EXOTIC armor it cost a minimum of 60g, for 6 insignias, no matter the stat group, takes 180 Hardened Leather Sections for the Gossamer Patches. A way I think we can help lower the prices/make it easier to farm, is increase the drop chance from salvaging Bloodstone-Warped Hide, maybe make it 100% chance for Hardened Leather Section, 50% Chance for a bonus leather of any type, or 75% chance for Hardened Leather Section, etc. Cause maybe it is just me, but spending 60g to make JUST the Gossamer Patches for Insignias seems like way too much. I have several characters just sitting naked around Lion’s Arch cause I cannot get the armor!

Topic 3: Charr Clipping
I have noticed with Charr specially, that clipping is a huge issue in the face. I was just hoping that we can get a fix to this, cause it really messes up some outfits. Like the Rev headbands, the new glasses on the MP, A LOT of things clip on the face. If people are willing it would be cool to reply to this with pictures of examples.

Topic 4: Experience Scrolls
It would also be really awesome if you could exchange the Experience Scrolls(The Auto 20 and 30 Levels) into Tombs of Knowledge. I got a lot of level up scrolls and nothing to do with them!

Hello! I do not know if this is the right place for this so sorry if its not. Here are my thoughts on the Beta release of Heart of Thorns on August 7-10(Please note this is my first beta!):

Beta over all:
I only had a few issue with the beta structure itself.
1: The fact that transmuting gear was not free for beta characters. While I know that this is trivial just something I thought would be free. (Yes I know if you went to each capital you got a transmute charge but it still was a pain).
2: The gear set up was a little weird to me. We didn’t have access to Sinister stat gear. Which was something I really wanted to test, specially on a Rev. Also we didn’t get all the Runes and Sigils. Something I think that may help is like a in game builder like the builder at Intothemist.com? I don’t know if that would be hard to implement but something like that where you choose your gear, your sigils, runes, and your gems in your accessories and such, cause we couldn’t even change gem.

Revenant:
1: While I think the idea of the combat for Rev is super cool, he seemed a little weak compared to the other classes. In full zerker they didnt do as much damage as the other classes did. Also I think they should have access to more of their legends. Engis get 3 or 4 “stances” and so do Eles. I think it would make Rev’s more difficult to play yes, but that means much more fun to learn and play!
2: The last thing about Revs was their defense, for being heavy armor they really died fast.

Necro-Reaper:
1: The reaper is really amazing on Necro, and it has alot of different options for being built. The only problem I had with it was the lack of conditions(I thought it was supposed to be a conditiony specialization haha if not its a cool zerker one!) and the shouts seemed kinda weak. Other than that I really liked it!

Heart of Thorns:
1: I really like the story line and the intro to it, seems really cool and fun and I cannot wait to play the full version!
