Guild Wars 2

I really enjoy the look of Scarlet’s Kiss, the weapon looks great for my engineer. I would like a pistol version of this weapon, I tend to lean more on pistols.

I was pretty annoyed at Belinda’s random intrusion into the story. She didn’t fit the setting and just felt out of place, until she said where she was going. Then she became a ham fisted introduction to Season 2. Obviously something will happen to her and be our launching point into why we’re going into Maguuma.

Sera.6539:

Belinda doesn’t really need to have any real involvement in the plot for Marjory to get involved at this point. Even though Marjory and Kasmeer originally came involved with Scarlet due to the investigations at Dragon Bash, I’m pretty sure she feels some sort of bond with the rest of Destiny’s Edge 2.0 that she would go with them for shenanigans.

Heck aren’t we just in it for the shenanigans?

NPC recruiter: “Random Moles are attacking villages, you in?”
Protagonist: “I don’t know if I can fit you in between slaughtering zombies and spamming cannons at Zhaitan.”
NPC recruiter: “They’ll be shenanigans”
Protagonist: “Tell Trahearne he can fire his own cannons!”

…Fire and Frost in a nutshell.

Lol! My guild fought those champs last evening!
10 level 80 champs that take virtually no damage. The only thing that works on them are reflections, they slowly kill themselves while attacking you.

You need a large zerg of guardians and mesmers for constant WoR, etc. We managed to get 2 of them before we all wiped. They throw some very nasty AoE around.

There are 2 un-programmed asura gates very close by, 1 is inside the Fort just behind the wall the champs patrol. Obviously these gates will be used for something at some point,

Doesn’t matter. New maps!

Thanathos.2063:

Doesn’t matter. New maps!

Jory’s lookin’ for her sister
(Doesn’t matter. New maps! )
But she cried the whole time
(Doesn’t matter. New maps! )
I think the story’s quite contrived
(Doesn’t matter. New maps! )
It’s all part of living story
(Still counts!)

The conversation Marjory’s sister comes in and spews some pointless banter,and then mentions her deployment to the Brisban Wildlands
What made this interesting was people have already speculated about Fort Vandal and what is being defended by lvl 80 Champs
It connects an area of known map to the unknown in this game that is pretty plot specific to the LS.

Did anyone else have this “Ah HA!” moment when catching this?

Yes, that appears to be the case. It could be an evil plot to force us into buying more gems to expand our bank slots.

I’d love to make a joke but it will just result in me being banned again. ~sigh

There have been some wierd glitches lately. For example, people have had several thousand items in their inventory, ranging from Eternities, to Conduits, to unique skins. They are graphical glitches.

Are you sure you have those 1001 gems available?

In order to check, click the gems to gold tab and see if it gives you 1001 gems to convert into gold. If not, it’s a graphical glitch.

I have always wondered why the transmutation stones/crystals are offered in packs of 5 and not 6, we all got 6 pieces of armor….

I doubt the recipe will change, otherwise they would have simply taken out the Unidentified Dye altogether.

Get ready to pay 300g+ for your Bifrost dyes.

It would be very funny if ANET decides to change their mind and refund the specific colored dyes instead of unids dye for those who unlocked extra

A level 1 character having a fine-quality Eternity was already possible in the old system. Very unlikely that someone would waste the legendary stats for it, but still entirely possible.

I’ve seen plenty of people complain that 1H legendaries were undervalued compared to the 2H ones because 1H had to create 2 legendaries to “fill” their weapon slots while 2H weapons just had to make one. So this could be seen as partially alieving this problem, though only if the player wants 2 of the same legendary.

“Single items, such as the Fuzzy Hats and Scarlet’s Spaulders, will be unlocked for your entire account and usable with any armor weight.”

You guys and gals don’t understand! I’ll finally able to give those gem store glasses to some of my characters! I’m gonna love this Wardrobe system so much!

Honestly? I’m not bothered by it. I’ve got 5 characters with Celestial. Or had 5, deleted one of them a long time ago. Anyways, I’m just going to identify the dyes I get for having duplicates, and hope its a dye I don’t already have. This morning I was going to buy a bunch of the nice cheap dyes that usually got for 20copper, only to find them at 25-30 silver.

I’ll be glad to get some unidentified dyes for my duplicates now.

You are looking at this the wrong way.

If you have an Abyss dye on 2 of your 5 characters you are not losing 1 Abyss dye, you are gaining 3 free Abyss dyes and 1 Unidentified Dye.

Gnat.9405:

Someone please verify that I am understanding the charges correctly:

Once you use a charge for a particular skin, that skin is, well, “charged” and can be used repeatedly without using another charge? The charges only need to be applied once per skin, correct?

Nope. Every time you change the appearance of an item, it will use a charge.

No, once you equip or salvage a skin, a copy of it goes in your wardrobe.

To get it out of the wardrobe again you use a “charge” to apply the wardrobe skin to your current gear.

The fact that they aren’t removing Unidentified Dyes completely suggests that the recipe for the Gift of Color will be unchanged.

A lot more expensive, but unchanged.

sion.2603:

1 for 1 Legendary skin swap perhaps?

Legendary costs aren’t equivalent though.

Here to voice a concern? More like to show off your legendaries.

Personally, I think that they shouldn’t include legendaries in the list of allowable skins.

I don’t have one, but would like one and I can see people getting together in a group, buying one item and sending it between friends, or onselling.

It would surely devalue the effort of legendaries

Meh, can still craft ’em.

Admittedly, I think they should have simply reduced the drop rate, not nixed it completely, but at least its not a gemstore only means of acquiring them…

Not sure how many know about this little girl, Torina Panney, in Gendarran Refugee Camp but she has been providing me with a drawing every day for a week or more since I discovered her.

You can get one drawing (25 luck) from her per day. ETA: you must have participated in rescuing the children from Lion’s Arch.

Apologies if everyone knows and I am the last to discover it – nothing unusual there

An odd side effect of this LS and the dislike of the Sylvari race by ever increasing numbers (in-game) has caused me to do something I have never done….

I created a Sylvari character in order to see the “other side” of everything.

I have never wanted to play a salad before, but with the upcoming LS season, I am almost sure that the salad race will have a larger part to play in it, so I am going to explore the possibilities.

I just hope that Anet doesn’t get cold feet and decide that it’s more PC to avoid the whole racial issue. That would be sad. On the other hand, if Anet does allow racial tensions to boil, I can see some factioned play in our future, which is n’t a bad thing either.

In fact, I think it would be great if they explored a general distaste for Sylvari across the world, and then brought everyone back together when the “real” threat descends upon Tyria.

OMG I am going to cry and give up…I am a casual player and just finished after a long time my Ascended Zerker armor…. is it all over for me? I definitely can’t grind all that stuff again…

Best fix…

→ Refund everyone their mats and gold/laurels that they sank into ascended items….

→ Remove laurels and other time gated crap… yes crap…

→ Remove ascended items…

→ Put everyone back at the GAME balance of exotics(never meant to be anything higher than exotics in the first place)…

→ Add an agony slot(s) to all exotic armors…

→ Remove defiance from bosses…

→ Remove condi caps from all bosses…

→ Fix your kittened AI…

→ Let us continue to play how we want and stop changing/adding crap to try to keep ppl around just for another grind…
