Malediktus.9250:

I love how Anet cheats people who preordered the deluxe for full price all the time.

I know. What an outrage. Now they’re selling the whole GAME at -50%

I feel so cheated that someone would get a product 1,5 years after its release at a discounted price! I mean, where is this world going? Old products being sold for less than what they were priced when they were fresh? Outrageous I say!

Why is everyone panicking out by champion bags dropping less money? Don’t worry, if this does nerf champiom farming, someone will find another brainless grind to make gold with.

And to Vol, I think he just wants to increase the TP-fees by 1% for everyone? I’m not sure… All I saw in the post is: "My easy farm might get nerfed… panic!

If I could either have all the legendaries, or the perma hair contract …. I’d choose the hair.

._.

(That’s a YES PLEASE.)

[&AgGV+QAA][&AgGW+QAA][&AgGZ+QAA]

Yes, although you should wait for the initial dump of people who panic when the price drops.

126: Option to use “preferred” reviving:

1. Downed players
2. Dead players
3. Npcs

:)

1) to not have to put up with this bobblehead crap anymore. I have probably reloaded client at least 50 times and changed the date on my comp over and over and OVER again just for the temporary relief of not having to see it.

2) for my inventory to stop expanding each time I open it.

3) for my chat tabs to not stay lit orange after I either leave an instance or load a new area when party disbands.

4) Make it so that the NPC’s stop buffing the elite trash mobs when doing Arah (example, try attacking an elite risen hunter in Arah with the NPC nearby. The axe that the hunter will throw will bounce 5+ times and instead of hitting you once for like 3k damage, will hit you for over 15k damage because NPC’s don’t dodge).

5) Let me make NPC’s just stay at the start of dungeons. If you aren’t going to give them sensible AI, then remove them.

6) Remove the merge feature from LFG (if it’s not removed on April 15th patch, facedesk).

I might add more to the list in the near future, for now I will leave it at this.

Once again, thousands. THOUSANDS of gems.

C’mon Anet. Think about it.

New update: Commanders must get at least 100 “Likes” from their followers every night or lose their Commander tag (and have to repurchase it).

The “big” changes are fixes to things most people see as bugs and problems. The feature patch does not introduce anything new or especially good, it just fixes what needed fixing.

Haha 1 year later, it’s pretty crazy how instead of fixing the game they decided to launch buggy living story stuff.

• Will we get due compensation for all the extra gem store armor we have bought. I have 6 duplicate sets (2 Viper armor so one Dup set there, etc). So 36 Extra pieces. I suggest giving 1 Transmutation charge per duplicate piece. I am sure its easy enough to program something to detect the duplicates. (Already done for duplicate dyes)

• Unlocking “dungeon reward route” in PVP by doing the dungeon’s Story mode in PVE. Can a Dev confirm this is Account bound. Again I have multiple Alts and I don’t want to do Story on each and everyone again to get the reward track unlocked for that character in PVP.

• Ascended Armor and weapons are now going account bound. But most of mine are transmuted on gem store armor, fractal skins, etc. Will they become account bound in their current look? Or will only vanilla Ascended items become account bound (keeping the transmuted soulbound)

• Will Legendary Receipes change after April 15th update in any way. If so which legendary etc. I already know about the UnID dye change for bifrost but are there any more especially with regards to Eternity.

• Any chance the individual pieces of town clothes (like boxing gloves) that would become tonic (still not sure how this works but I know we cant wear most of it in combat) become pieces of armor skin instead. They can be assigned to a particular type of armor (eg: boxing gloves would be heavy armor piece).

That is terrible. I dont want to run those story modes again. They take forever and terrible rewards.

Josh Davis.6015:

You will need to run the dungeons in story mode AFTER the update to permanently unlock the tracks.

Please no.

Why doesn’t it count if you did this already once?
Why do you force pvp players into PvE?

Josh Davis.6015:

You will need to run the dungeons in story mode AFTER the update to permanently unlock the tracks.

I already have Dungeon Master, why force me to play the long story modes again?

Way pointing is a HUGE, HUGE gold sink…in order to remove the cost, they would after nerf loot/rewards across the entire game by 20%+ to compensate…

Honestly, I prefer they keep repair costs and way pointing, rather than nerf loot.

I wouldn’t buy now when prices are influenced via speculation.

I love everything that’s being introduced – account bound dyes, the wardrobe system for armour skins – but Curtis, honey…

Tonics for certain Town Clothes pieces? It’s laughable. I can’t even imagine how such a suggestion could be put forth as anything other than a joke, and a poor one at that.

Like many others in this thread, I appreciate your responses and would appreciate it even more if you would explain why there is a problem with mixing town clothes with other town clothes, since that system works already.

I did like my costumes in GW, and you could create some lovely combinations with the different festival headgear, however they were severely limiting and often you would see a dozen other characters that had the exact same look, even down to the dyes. In GW2, despite the loss of many emotes and the ability to dye weapons, among other downgrades from the original, you gave us a greater variety of costuming options with town clothes, and I spent a fair bit of real money on them. The pieces I didn’t like – those hideous hats that make everyone bald, for instance – I actually destroyed, to make room in my bank for more of the pieces I did like.

And now you wish to take away this feature that so many of us have enjoyed so thoroughly, for so many months, without even the courtesy of a real explanation.

I love ANet, Curtis, but I will be among those queueing up for a fat refund when this goes live, and I will not be purchasing any of your future “outfits.”

I can’t get behind this decision. I can’t remember one single event which is worth farming because of the loot you get at the end. All in all I think ArenaNet should work on making eventfarming more desireable to compete with dungeonloot.
Reducing the current abysmal poor loot is definitely the wrong way.

Xenesis.6389:

Maybe if they had announced this as late as two weeks ago they could have gotten people to cancel their preorders and got some of that money in gems.

Maybe if we had gotten a simple: “It’s coming around Season 2 as well as some other nice things which even WvW-ers will find nice – stay tuned for more info later ;-)” from any staff member month(s) ago it would have sufficed, instead of blatantly ignoring us again and again.

Cassocaster.4576:

Any predictions on what this will do to the legendary market, I know this isn’t the market channel but making them less unique will drop their prices, no??

Why don’t people understand that this isn’t creating more people with legendaries….holy crap people are dense.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Still no tradable ascended gear…. -,-

Always one person that just can’t be happy when good things happen : /

Charming Rogue.8071:

So.. because they said that they won’t do any major changes for WvW during the seasons, is it then safe to assume that account bound WxP is coming AFTER season 2?

Nope, seeing as the Feature Patch is coming in the middle of the Season and it includes some major professions changes I would say it is fully possible that they will release it during the season if ready.
