Guild Wars 2

I just tried to use a Teleport to Friend item to join my guild in Dragon’s Stand. I got a message saying the map was full, but my item was still consumed. Is this a bug, or is the item always consumed even if the teleport fails? If so, that seems a little dangerous. Would have been nice to have a tooltip or something, or even to have it send me to the map but a different server…

Vanquish Elona and Cantha. It takes a little time but you’ll get :
Eternal Vanquisher of Cantha
Eternal Vanquish of Elona
Eternal Lightbringer (or very very close)
Eternal Spearmarshal

You’ll also get a ton of plat to work with, and when you’re vanquishing Cantha you’ll get tons of the rare materials for Kurz/Luxon Armor. I’d say pick one, and when you do a zone that gives you the material you don’t need check the traders or trade channels to see if you can get a 1:1 trade for your amber/jade.

After that you can get two points from getting the five armors, you should be able to work towards one of the cheaper ones Grotto/Granite, etc.

5 Honor statues (3 pts) + lux/kurz (1 pt) + any one armor (2 pts) = 31!

Thats the path I took, at least.

Mike O’Brien’s comment isn’t showing up on http://www.reddit.com/user/ArenaNetTeam/ Does he have a separate account or something?

Yes, some devs have their own account which unfortunately makes tracking responses a bit of a pain. I’ll see if I can track it down.

… What happened to half of the list? My question was part of the future updates section. Well, so much for my question getting an answer. :/

I believe they had to split the list in half, you can still see it if you click on Samurai’s profile.

Could we have a clear answer on where vertical progression is headed in the future of GW2. What prompted the change in philosophy from launch to the Lost Shores update with regard to end game gear and will there be an amendment to the game’s design manifesto from here out?

Hi Idredd,
Thanks for taking the time to post your question.
I will try to be as clear as possible:
We do not intend to deploy another tier/rarity of loot such as Rare>Exotic. However we also do not intend to make promises that can be misinterpreted moving forward.
Ascended Gear will be introduced throughout next year,and accessible through many game play activities rather than just on. -Through infusions and existing Tiers there will be the opportunity to increase stats or abilities on a low power curve through multiple types of gameplay in GW2.
The opportunity to enhance existing tiers of loot will not be through a regular cadence of monthly updates instead it is more likely to come from expansions or very big drops of content.
In retrospect Ascended should have been deployed pre launch and earn able throughout most activities in the game (which is how we are moving forward).
I believe there has been no change to our philosophy regarding end game gear. We have learnt lessons for sure which is one of the main advantages of a live game and no doubt we will learn lessons moving forward. This does not however dilute our commitment to create a pioneering, accessible and fun world for players as we continue to build out GW2. And we very much rely on your and the communities feedback as we execute on these philosophy.
