Aaahh .. Once again a complainer complaining about complainers..
we need to go deeper…
So you guys deny that Gw2 is Play to Win?
Clearly I need to ask this.
They paid money to win….what exactly?
EDIT: I just now noticed you wrote Play to Win. Yes, GW2 is Play to Win lol. If that was a typo, then see above. If it was intentional, then touche.
i regret nothing
op.. there are two sorts of “skins”
-Skins: Basically overwrite the appearance of your currently equipped weapon\armor.
Lets say you got some shoulders that look stupid (to you) you can go to the wardrobe,
select a new skin for them from the skins you unlocked and are in the same weight
class and overwrite their apperance. Thats a 1 time thing and will remain on the
equipment forever BUT only on the transmuted piece. If you equip a different set of
shoulders the new shoulders got the skin they came with so people usually tend to
use skins on end game armors…or got enough charges\money to change the
skins of their armor all the way through leveling. Any skin you buy\unlock is yours
and will stay in the wardrobe and will be available for your entire account whenever
you want and have the charges to use them.
-Costumes: A thing i personally detest extremely…but i gonna try to give ya an
un-biased description. Costumes basically overwrite your entire armor apperance,
ignore the weight class of your armor and are completely static. No matter how much
you change your armor.. the costume remains like it is. You can hide certain pieces
at some costumes..like helmet and shoulders and gloves but you cannot in any way
“replace” the costume parts with other parts. Whats in the costume is what you get
nothing more or less. Also costumes only got 4 colour channels..so you cannot
dye…lets say the pants gold and blue and the top green and silver and the gloves
purple and red or whatever. 4 channels for the entire fit…and no way to change that.
Cause costumes are like mentioned “static” to your armor they are a cheap
option for leveling to have a somewhat nice look but if you dont like…lets say the
helmet of the outfit then you wont be able to replace it with another one…just hide it.
Outfits are basically “take it like it is or gtfo” and this personally really makes me hate
em cause they do remove the personal touch that skins allow you to add to your
apperance and turn you into a maybe slightly different coloured clone of the
other guy who bought the same outfit. Outfits dont hide backpieces though…so
thats something i suppose?
The only thing I worry about is that they don’t fix the hobosacks on the engineers.
oh yea add that to my list too
i usually loot out\salvage my stuffs near a vendor and just sell off the sigils and runes…cept its an exotic thats notable more worth on the TP then what the vendor would give me for it. I got no real issue with them…though i do have a sort of idea\suggestion that might be neat to have arround. A tab in the bank for sigils and runes…i mean we can store gemstones there too and you can slap em onto equipment…why not the same for sigils and runes?
you “loose” the level if you are lvl 80 and get it replaced by the mastery thingy…its obvios that if you arent 80 you wont have that so whats the difference? All you get is a different thingy that displays what mastery lvl you are at atm…nothing more or less
well my worry is that a-net will continune the trend of really REALLY kittenty charr and asura armor and so barely any rewards to look forward to like i did now since almost 2 years. Why do i worry about it besides the given record and the available evidence in the wardrobe? Well…remember the trailer for HoT and the hammer engi? Remember his helmet?
http://i.imgur.com/pD8QIg4.png
This seems to be the charr version of it…i think my worries are justified.
ahh yes…fail time.
Well my biggest fail was that back when i decked out my main in exotics i bought first off the completely wrong weight class and didnt notice it before i put a full set of runes of strength on it was a bit bummed out but shrugged it off and bought some extractors to fix the issue…then took a break not noticing it for a hour or two and then completely lost in thoughts tossed the darn set into the mystic toilet and only noticed it bout 1 hour later as i checked my PMs and saw the extractors i bought earlier…the fail was strong in this day
well if i had anything to say about it… then ascended would be salvageable like exotics…ya know.. ectos, some mats and dark matter and done. As it stands however…unlocking the skin and selling is the way to go. Lets hope HoT changes up stuff with ascended
well… if you like the skins just pick the one you like and unlock. After that you can sell the thing for 1 gold to a vendor
You can only sell weapons for 1 gold. Armors are worth 2 silver and 40 copper xD
ah yea riiiiight… forgot about that. Well still.. unlock em for the skin and then sell em off XD
well… if you like the skins just pick the one you like and unlock. After that you can sell the thing for 1 gold to a vendor
Here is Colin’s post in its entirety:
Hey folks,
Now that the HOT is out of the bag, we’re able to update this thread with more details. With the introduction of the new account based mastery system for end-game progression and growth in PvE, we’ll also be re-evaluating our other systems of character progression to ensure they match our over-all pillars and goals for Gw2.In doing so: we’re going to be removing the current trait unlocking system currently on live and replacing it with a more simplified system that supports where skills-traits-specializations are going in the future. We’ll go into more details between now and the release of HOT on how skills, traits, and specializations will work in the new Gw2 world.
Thank you for all your passionate feedback on this topic – it not only helped our dev team lead to this decision, but has played a large role in helping us define how to build our exciting new account based mastery system for end-game progression in PvE as well.
passionate is an understatement… more like close to a world war…but that aside… HELL YEA! Bout time this evil force of darkness gets into the trashbin where it belongs…
just make some armors that are clearly designed for a specific profession and sell em\put em into hot as drops and have it over with. Wanna have a darn engineer look for your ranger? Suit yourself. Wanna look like a thief on your engi? Go for it… and done
-2 tone eyes
-waaaaaaaay more hairstyles per race\gender
-a length slider for hairdos
-more fur patterns\skin patterns\tattoos
go to pvp if you want to pvp…
I’m going to tome to 80 as well. I don’t know why everyone keeps insisting that this won’t give as good a grasp on the profession as if I were to level the normal way. I would have the same amount of time spent playing as the profession as the ‘slow’ levellers except I would also be practising with all the skills rather than a select few. I want to hit 80 then experience the new content on the new profession
- If you got a fully unlocked skillset you can easier see how skills work together
- At lvl 80 you got your char on full potential and can judge better what armor stats
and weapon stats\sets you wanna use
- The traitlines are fully available (minus the traits… but those can be bought)
so to experiment with a build that works for you is a lot easier
- To put a char into an lvl 80 area where you feel comfortable to experiment and work
on a build ensures that the build is most likely gonna work for you in the long run
rather then doing field tests in a low level area where most stuff falls over dead
alone with your presence. (I personally suggest arah story mode for said field tests.
You got your peace and the enemies and champs who protect the airship parts are quite capable to kill you if you dont know what you do with a new class…so perfect place for training. imo of course)
So yea.. i see no downside in starting off at lvl 80. To push some buttons and knowing the general concept of how you do guild wars2 in guild wars2 you should have already taken in…especially if you even got enough tomes to level a char straight to 80 and\or have several alts. Imo of course
well… ima just skip the darn leveling and then do my map exploration, heart questing and whatever else in peace on lvl 80. Its equally “challenging” afterall and i just cannot stomach the NPE to level anything the classic way anymore. On my first\main it was fun cause it was the very first and untainted way…as for any other char i made it was tainted..and with the NPE now its beyond saving….so my with tomes, level scrolls and writs of experience exploding bank will save the day. Same for traits.. ill buy em cause im not mental enough to earn them either.
heh this topic amuses me as charr player to no end. Its ok when charr get racism..but god forbid the sylvari get a share of the cake for once…
Who does this? Is it players or do you think its in-game?
Charr treat each other worse than anybody else could.
mostly players though you get enough obvios racism from ebonhawke and seperatists and actually humans in general if you really wanna search for it. As for players..yea mostly “human purist players” really do hate charr…cant blame em though…ya know.. gw1 and stuff. Not like it bothers me personally too much but its there. Sylvari actually never had this and it amuses me to no end having the topics pop up and people whining about it.
Ah yeah, this jogs the memory. I’ve seen people blithering about Charr from GW1. As for Ebonhawke, I’ve never thought of it as racism but more the hatred of someone who’s been at war with the same enemy forever. I’ll have to go back and have a look.
lol yea just make a charr for kittens and giggles and go over there, talk to the npcs and take a look at the propaganda posters that demonise charr…or heck just get near seperatist camps or hideouts and listen to what these guys say about charr…or heck just look at the heart quests related to charr vs seperatists…these guys do everything in their power to ruin the daily lives of charr.
Here a poster… says “no peace with the beasts”

Players do it because dont you know! every single person who plays a charr has to be a furry(like me! im a furry!) but didnt you know that! If you play charr, you are a furry!
welcome to the furry crowd! the most hated and despised group on internet, because well we are different.
The racism from ebonhawke and separatists as much as i hate to admit, is kind of ok, the Charr have been attacking the ascalonians for 250+ years, thats a long time to set hatreds in, but you dont see prison camps now do you? Racism yes, Prison camps, Concentration camps? no. Thank goodness.
i am not a furry.. just sayin. I play charr cause i like ork\ogre like races…heck id play an ettin if i could. I wouldnt touch charr if they would be something along the lines of “cat girls” like you know em from every other mmo. I like the somewhat clumsy feel of them a lot and it really feels like you navigate a 440 lbs mountain of teeth, claws and muscles arround tyria…and they are sorta steampunk as a bonus what i happen to like a lot. But yea..sylvari prison camps? Heh.. i really dunno why people pull that out of their minds and hence why this is just chuckle worthy

But not those gloves… those arms look seriously messed up. :[
Maybe I’m wrong but aren’t those and the shoulders both Magitech (from the gem store)?
The hands do look quite distorted so its hard to tell, but the left side definitely looks like Magitech.
those are indeed just magitech gloves, same for the rest of the armor minus the helmet
heh this topic amuses me as charr player to no end. Its ok when charr get racism..but god forbid the sylvari get a share of the cake for once…
Sylvari, mostly as ankittento Rytlock for his racism in the trailer.
yea god forbid somebody doesnt trust a race of dragon minions…how dare he >_>
Anyways.. back to the theme…
fem charr for me like all my chars
While I also think that norn is a thief, we can’t say for sure it is one, absolutely nothing prevents that norn to be an engineer.
sure doesnt… but that engineer in the trailer is already obviosly a norn.. thats what “bugs” me.
Thief isn’t confirmed, that could have been an Engineer.
IMO a-net clearly dressed their chars for the trailer to make it obvios what it is supposed to be. And the engineer in the trailer wore the magitech armor and a new head piece while the ranger had his pet and wooden shoulders and a look like a druid..what leaves only the last medium class..beeing the thief and the “most likely thief” thief in the trailer dressed like an everyday thief with face mask and what not. So IF we can take the “a-net dresses their chars to look like a class stereotype” as a rule… then this could mean that rifle thief is comfirmed. Or my thoughts are absolute BS and thats just another engi…or a NPC that defys the class system like many do. We will see…but i actually do hope rifle thief is a thing cause that might be really interresting to play.
As a Sylvari Player… No. Are you out of your kittening mind? How about we leave the mature content out a game that’s accessable to children, we already have enough of them running around screaming about murdering people over their skin color and sexual preferences (ala COD and DayZ).
And it was a Gods kitten ed bad idea to give into the Sylvari are Dragonspawn Theory because now you’re just going to see more of this crap in chat about how “Sylvari are less than people.”
If this is the friendliest community in gaming, then it really paints a bad picture.

technoblable from metrica
if theres one thing we really dont need more of it’s asuran technobabble and asuran plot devices pulled out of the writers kitten s
i actually prefer this over the constant sylvari angst and to for example fight a crazed asura scientist with a gang of golems and a flamethrower or some messed up experiment of the inquest once in a while is enjoyable and fun. I love the “anything goes” attitude if it comes to asura nonsence…sure its 90-99% utter BS but its funnier then the “oh gee i wonder what the next boss is gonna be….oh noes a plant thing…i never saw that coming. Oh look it uses live drain and poison(or whatever)…man will the exitement ever stop?” that we got going on atm. Remember for example Kudu? The “nemesis” of zoiija and the crucible of eternity or the story path of the sorrow’s embrace and especially the final boss of the embrace? Crazy stuff all over the place.
A giant mechanical “melting pot” suspended by chains that attacks with an overkill face cannon and can only be really harmed by stones you throw at it? Yes please
Golems that use extremely different tactics and work together as team to hit your bottoms till they are purple and blue? Yes please
An escaped dragon energy infused experiment that hits like a truck? Yes please
A with kralkatorrik´s magic infused, crazed scientist who uses an exo suit, a 1 shot kill rifle AND dragon magic to attack? Yes please
A giant infused by undead, crystal, ice and fire dragon energy boss battle that changes like every minute the rules? Yes please
Sure.. asura stuff is mostly BS but fun…LOTSA fun. I wouldnt mind to see more like this..specially now since the devs put in more mechanics into battles. But now back to the theme id say before we derail the topic too much
Will engineers finally be able to get rid of our hobo sacks? (AKA kit backpacks covering back items)
that better gets fixed.. its 2 years that we ask for it.
Also… might aswell ask a few of my questions.
-Will we get more armors\pieces that are tailored for a specific class in design visuals?
-Will those said armors\pieces respect ALL races and genders in quality and anatomy?
-Will we have access to NPC clothes as armor skins finally?
-Will there be more (new) exotics dropping about on the new enemies?
-Will the account wallet store new currencies like bandit crests finally?
-Will we be able to colour hairdo accessories without using hairdo kits finally?
-Will there be more guild related armor pieces, backpieces and overall visual stuff?
-How about a release date?
-Will our char speak again? Cutscenes like in the personal story again?
-Will there be more mobs that use tactics and work as “teams” against you?
-Will there be bosses\enemies that will beat the crap out of you if you arent epic?
-Will there be “town hubs” in the jungle where you can relax, loot out and stuff?
-Peacefull places in general in the jungle or all out war zone?
-When we will get some video footage of the new specializations?
-Mastery system, how will that work? What will need to be done to master it?
-Crafting, unique styles for armors that can only be obtained with crafting?
-Dungeon style content?
-World bosses\raids?
-Build templates to switch between specializations without re-traiting all the time?
- Why do children like cinnamon toast crunch?
i don’t think they will add air combat. (btw it will be nice for me ^^ )
But i was think about an other idea…. the handglider will be avaiable in the old maps(if we know it) ??? and if it is a yes, do you think it can be avaiable in WvWvW also… because handglider and WvWvW will be…just wow
.
dont quote me on this..but i do belive they stated that hangliding wont be available on old maps cause it would break em…ya know jumping puzzles and stuff…but heh maybe the new WVW map got the gliding worked in, that would be neat imo
if that really IS a thief in the trailers i could imagine it like the infiltrator at the snowball mayhem. Ya know.. the toy slingshot skillset. “Weak” auto attack, rather inaccurate volley fire that packs a punch if you are close to the enemie and a very long 3 staged windup shot that gets stronger per stage and ends with extremely high damage that completely locks you in place when you aim and prepare it that will most likely down somebody…or atleast bring him\her live points really far down. I would actually love to see this if that really should be the new thief specialization. Basically less stealth but close to insane single target damage to compensate. Something like this or something close to this might be a reason for me to make a thief.
if they add air combat i demant having danger zone by kenny logins playing as combat music…nuff said
I know, lets also make them walk a “Trail of Tears” to LA while we’re at.
How far is too far with these kinds of ideas? How about gas chambers too?
I just don’t get why people hate the Sylvari so much. They’re such curious and happy people, but no we have to add a darkside to them. Why?
can only speak from my perspective obviosly… but im fed up with sylvari related stuff. Villians are sylvari, story is arround sylvari, the hero of tyria is traherne….plants plants plants, sylvari sylvari sylvari…every week the same dish. I want charrsagne with a side krytan cheese and technoblable from metrica and a pint of norn beer to wash it down here and there…i had enough salad.
a-net showed they are capable of making a decent looking greatsword already. Belindas sword. Im personally not overly an asian sword fanboy…though id actually love to have an entire set in that fashion…ya know sheaths if sheathed, polished and sharp looking blade and still subtle. So yea a-net…why not a ticket set in that style? Id pay for it.
well op… if you arent sylvari atm then your race means as much as “woggie woogie” atm…and trust me “woggie woogie” means nothing cause i just pulled that out of my….
One can hope we get a charr season where some items that arent made of plants pop up together with some storyline related to what nonsence the charr are up to…then maybe the same with asura and it actually would be interresting to see what the norn are up to too for once, cause from those guys you hear nothing at all atm.
Why i 'quit' and can HoT bring me back...

I will never understand why people think publicly announcing their departure deserves attention.
its feedback. If i would be a dev i would actually welcome this (heck i dunno about a-net but atleast I would)…cause i sorta can see what people like and dislike and can collect that info to have something to work with. Sure…1 guy leaving the game or complaining about a certain issue is like a water drop on a hot stone, but lets say (seriosly random number) 500 people “complain” about the same thing you will start to see a pattern that can\could be used as a guideline for the future. A well written and explained “im leaving” topic is just as valuable like a suggestion reply in a CDI imo. Also you can easily skip these topics by just not looking at them

>_> thats obviosly called revolver ocelot then (and yes it would be amazing to use 3 weapons on one set…if that somehow could be balanced to be not insanely OP)
If everything was toggle-able, then you’d see a lot of players simply running around in their underwear all the time, even in combat. I doubt you’d get much more immersion breaking than that.
This is a fear of mine. Would hate to see it.
not like i care much about the topic…but isnt female armor already 90% underwear?
and id donate for proper charr armor that respects the anatomy and culture of charr…and yet i wont get it either. Doesnt help op…we only can hope we someday get what we want…as for now just dream on like me
the sets should be made complete imo…id own a lot more of them if id get a watchwork sickle and axe too. Dont even care about the sprocket bonus…i just like gears and stuff and these things are one of the few items that give me gears.
Hahahaha! Who is this NPC?
a welder from the LS instance that brings you into the SW. And yea i also got quite the russle as i figured out that giant middle finger to the engineer class. These should be pistols and a-net knows that
-snip-
I must say, I refuse to man up. A gender change should not be required to play a game. :P
oh shush you XD you know exactly what i mean
giggle I just couldn’t help it! It’ll get me in trouble one day, totally.
yea the rolled up newspaper is fierce and relentless and one day it will catch up to you
Krestfallen sums up what i was about to type. Really guys.. l2p, its really not that hard. Isnt like somebody would expect you to do liadri the concealing dark with no armor and 4 gambits here. These bosses are easy as pie, just observe and take a look at the mechanics. They give you enough time to do so (if you can dodge a bit what you should at lvl 80 by default). I for one am sick of the stack and auto attacking that this game was reduced to for far too long and i welcome the attempt to make bosses that atleast fight back. Learn to play your class, avoid the very obvios red and orange cyrcles and watch the bosses movements, if a new element is introduced in the fight try how it works and what it does (like that fire in the last LS fight) and adapt to the enemie and the fight and dont expect the enemie to adapt to you. The enemies job is to kill you and not to cuddle you or give you an easy time (well..still easy but you get the point). Its your enemie and it wants to see you dead…DEAD. Man up and try again till you get how it works. Learn to play your class and\or adapt the build to the enemie if its not working. Use food and wetstones, change your weapon set, change your armor to something more tanky if needed. Read the enemie descriptions and buffs if available. Cant figure out how the mechanic works? Get a guide vid on youtube or go to dulfy and read up how it works. Ask people to join your group and do it as team. So many ways to fix that issue, just gotta do it

Well, I’m wondering if A.net has some sort of technical limitation here or if it just hasn’t been thought of yet. I hope they could do something like this so I could use the wreath with the outfit.
heh… if they would just make the darn outfits allow to get mixed and maybe give the head slot item as a sepetate item skin or whatever so that it can get used with normal armors id actually buy em, i gladly would use the mad prince facepaint on a char or that samurai hat on my thief or whatever….as for now they can keep that nonsence no matter how good it looks. I dont play a game with a wardrobe system that allows you to go nuts with all the skins you collect to just look like everybody else who wears an outfit.
But yea.. if you gonna buy that heavy plate outfit dont waste your time trying to combine it with anything, wont work man. Take it like it is or let it be cause more then to hide some pieces and use 4 colour slots for the whole fit you wont be able to do.
Don’t worry guys, I’m sure ANet is deploying a team of highly trained Skritt to eradicate any said ‘bugs’.
yeap…a single skritt distracted by a jingling keychain in a room covered with cds that face the data side towards the skritt while getting shined on by a discoball
nope you cant use outfits with anything but the very outfit you got on atm, means if the outfit got no pauldrons then nothing will change that.
At some you can hide parts, at others you cant. Mostly you only can hide the helmet though.
You only got 4 dye channels for the whole fit, individual pieces cant be coloured, 4 slots for everything so you cant for example make blue\green pants and a red\yellow top with blue\silver gloves and black\brown boots or whatever.
If you wanna use your Wreath of Cooperation you will need to use skins for the rest of your look aswell.
In other words.. outfit blow (imo of course)
At least you can buy Ascended gear on the trading post right?
nope, you cant. You can buy trinkets, rings and necklaces with laurels or fractal relics…but armor…gotta make that yourself or find a chest
I don’t understand the subject. It seems to imply we don’t get a lot of head pieces, when arguably head pieces are the most common skin we get, next to backpieces.
cause its engineer themed, and these items are really rare nowadays
