1.) No mystic forge armor sets!?!? (I’d like to spend time making armor and not weapons or backpieces)
2.) The lack of new and varied armor sets
3.) The lack of dyeable weapons and backpieces
Edit: I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks there is a lack of armor skins and the means to obtain new skins.

“but I can’t comprehend how it took people hours to do this JP (no offense)”
I tell you mate.
Last year there was as many ppl on platforms as many wanted to do the clocktower. So there wasn’t only 5 ppl on the platforms, it was mostly at least 10-15. It was really crowded.Also the FPS drop issues on a few jumps + lots of ppl rendering them made it worser.
+ Lots of norns like me blocked their view and they couldn’t see where to jump.
So basically zerg jumped from platform to platform and it was hard to see what’s happening and how.
Then to those that had to do this JP with all this kitten and still managed to do it, you have my respect cuz I don’t know if I’d be able to do the same.
Yeah I also was dissapointed by the JP. Last year I didn’t participate in the Halloween event cuz I was more interested in leveling and exploring with my first mmo character then doing this event. Then I heard of the Clocktower and how it took people hours to do it but I said to myself that I would do it next year.
So I finally did it yesterday and managed to reach the end multiple times within an hour and I didn’t know whether to be proud of myself or to just feel utterly dissapointed. Yes it’s challenging but I can’t comprehend how it took people hours to do this JP (no offense).
1. Mystic forge armor. Not reskins or using it as an alternative way to get for example dungeon armor but actually new armor and a lot of it.
2. Multiple craftable ascended armor. I’m talking about cosmetics not stats.
3. Legendary armor. Again a lot of it and not 1 complete armor skin per class. Or else you’ll see everbody looking the same.
4. Armor, weapon and backpiece sets. With this I mean not just having a complete armor set but also having weapons and backpiece’s that go with it so you’ll have a full set instead of having armor, weapons and backpiece’s with skins that don’t work well with each other.
5. Dyeable weapons and backpiece’s.

You know for a game that was said by players (don’t know if Anet themselves said this as well) that it would concentrate on cosmetics and endgame would be cosmetics as well I have to be honest and say I’m not seeing it.
Cosmetics means to me armor (and clothing) and not weapons. I’m referring to the fact that when I see players working towards something cosmetic it’s mystic forge weapons and legendary weapons however there is no mystic forge armor you can make nor legendary armor.
And now that they finally release what I consider to be my first endgame content after playing this game for almost 50 weeks (I own it now for a lil over 51 weeks) they release this kitten. Really all that time to design something that a person like me would really love and spend time to make they decide to come with this kitten. Like I said in a previous post here; “I have no hope for legendary armor whatsoever”.
A backpiece or weapon skin is one skin. Armour needs to be done differently for, at minimum, each race and gender: that’s 10 skins. That’s for each piece of armour, so 60 for a full set. Multiply that by 3 if the armour is going to be different for each class of armour (heavy, medium, light).
Armour also needs to be able to be dyed, which weapons and backpieces don’t.
Fused Gauntlets
Dragon Helm
Scarlet Invsasion 1/2 Shoulder piece (Looks Awesome with the Rose Back!!)
radiant Shoulders, Helm, Gloves
Hellfire shoulders, helm, glovesNo more excuses on this front, Plenty of Armor skins are showing up, just more weapon/back when compared to armor. BUT all the armor is race/armor-class generic.
No offense but I hope there aren’t more gamers like you in this game. Those are pieces of armor and not full sets. How can you call that plenty? How would people react if each update they’d only choose 1 weapon to give a new skin. They’d be as unhappy as we who just get a single piece of armorskin.
I understand that it takes them a lot of time to make them (and when they do they mostly look ugly) but at least for events that return like Halloween they could make some armor seeing as how they had a year to make them.

You know I’ve done everything I want in this game. I don’t care about weapons but I do like armor (a lot).
If you want to craft (exotic) armor there is only 1 for each class and 3 type of weapons (corrupted, destroyer and pearl) for each class. There a no mystic forge armor but a lot of mystic forge weapons. There are no legendary armor but there are legendary weapons and there are even more coming.
So I’ve stopped playing this game cuz there isn’t any long term goal to aim for and I placed all my hope on the ascended armor and I thought they’d make them look awesome cuz they’ve put no effort to making new armor. Look at the aetherblade armor (the first new armor set after 10 months), it’s ugly and caters to people that like steampunk. Look at the armor released in august; a norn armor, a engi armor and a royal looking armor (I don’t count the achievement armor cuz it’s only a half non-dyeable armor).
So like I said I expected it to look awesome, better then all current armor or at least what people would put in their top 3 cuz they had plenty of time to think of something (over a year) and cuz of the effort and time you have to invest in making these armor. But nope they come with this crap.
The light armor looks like one those entertainers the royalty had in the middle ages, who the hell is going with that outfit into the battlefield, maybe a roleplayer can use that in game. The medium doesn’t look special at all and there are plenty of better looking armor you can get in game. And then there is the heavy armor, the one I was looking forward to the most. I like everything about it except for the helmet. But it still looks less then the draconic armor and like I said previously these amors needed to look awesome, better then all current armor or at least what people would put in their top 3 cuz they had plenty of time to think of something (over a year) and cuz of the effort and time you have to invest in making these armor.
So yet again no long term goal I can aim for. And after seeing this I have no hope for the legendary armor whatsoever. Please stop treating armor lovers like me like crap and put effort into making armor, awesome ascended armor, legendary amor and mystic forge armor cuz people like me don’t want to put effort into a backpiece item or a weapon.
Funny how some people fool themselves thinking Teq is hardcore content.
He is the same bored piñata. He just stand there but now, with a kittenload of health, insta-kill mechanism (well, only fools with zerker gear die) and a timer (lamest excuse of “hardcore” content).
I can stand in from of him the whole 15 minutes without dying a single time and still, I will never see him die because his “difficulty” is based on other people stupidity, not in my own skills.
So yes, is not fun, is not “hardcore” and just exploit the inability of some people to do something beyond press 1 button.
And before someone say the typical kitten about organize people, I spent 1 hour along with other persons explaining what to do and yet, most people just do what they want.
+1
Nicely said.
I heard (read) that people wanted harder bosses cuz it was just standing in one place and spamming 1. Nothing has changed for me, I fight him the same way I did the original Tequatl. And I can do it while playing a other game or while i’m eating. And that’s why I decided to not fight the original Tequatl (Shatterer and The Claw too) anymore. And now, already, I won’t fight this Tequatl anymore as well.
I was hoping for a battle like the monsters in Monster Hunter, you know with him moving around and him having moves that make me move around a lot as well but nope, they decided to give more health and a timer and the “CHALLENGE” is getting people to work together. And I simply let people with a big mouth take on that “CHALLENGE”.
that’s not the point, in a cosmetic game the apparence is important, and your skin should be reconognizable by everyone, just think about legendary without those skin… its all about skin, and i think that ascended should have something like that
Don’t worry, I wouldn’t even notice if you had one of the legendary greatswords let alone an ascended weapon. I only pay attention to armor seeing as how they are easier to notice, at least for me.
beginning to slightly wonder why some “don’t care”….
Guess some live in sPvP, some are starting to just play (so the ending or whats after is far away)… still :/ it does effect a good chunk of the game. And the coming armor will too. O well :| i made that option.
I chose “I don’t care” because I’m a armor kind of guy and to me weapons must have my “Holy Trinity” which is Stats, ability and make my armor look better.
Stats: Aren’t really important (at least the way I play this game), I could get a weapon with magic find, healing power and vitality and i’d still kick kitten with it.
Ability: For example it has an element or something that does extra damage or whatever. Which no weapon in this game has.
Making my armor look better: I can’t dye weapons and to me something that should make my armor look better should not cost more then my armor. My most expensive weapon costs 8 gold and i’d like to keep it that way.
And that’s why I don’t care about it. I always get kitten ed of when a new weapon set gets released (I friggin snapped when new legendary weapons got announced and no legendary armor and that they’d release ascended weapons first).
Don’t get me wrong, I love this game, I’ve spent 1800 hours in this game and I’m still enjoying it, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d decide to make ascended weapons one day BUT if there is ever going to be a GW3 then I won’t get it cuz I don’t need another game with only 3 (exotic) craftable armor sets while there are plenty of weapons to make (I’m counting Mystic Forge weapons as well as legendary’s) and while playing the game it keeps releasing new weapons but no armor.
I think they said they did that because some players who already finished their monthly would then misss out on the new monthly rewards after the update. So bassically those that finished it quickly got the old and new monthly reward.
A yellow message will appear in your chat box.
Example: “Scarlet’s minions are invading [location].”
Today I saw that but I thought that was a stupid way to show if there is an invasion. What if I leave my pc for a minute and miss the message? Too bad then?
They need to make it pop up on that orange event assisant and take out that SAB announcement when an invasion pops up. That way when I come back (within 10 minutes) I can see it’s up and participate in the event.
But the important part is that the narrator says that “it” has gathered powers in the DEPTHS and that it has become stronger faster etc. and that it has come to devour us all… Are you all thinking what I’m thinking? wink Bubbles* wink*?
Or Zhaitan is still alive. I never did the last story mission but from I heard he fell into the ocean right? And seeing as how Tequatl is a champion of Zhaitan and Zhaitan might be resting (if he’s still alive) in the ocean maybe he got powered up by him as Zhaitan’s first act of vengeance.
By crafting about 13 exotics I hit 450, with some being non-discoveries. I bought the inscriptions pre-patch for about 3 gold per, now starting at 5 gold+ per. At 450 you can craft the time gated materials, no real reason to get to 500 right now anyway, it’ll take 10-14 days to craft the whole thing and by then you will likely be at 500.
If that’s true then how are there people that already have several ascended weapons crafted? I thought you needed to be at crafting level 500 to craft ascended weapons.
That’s simply not possible. Are you sure it’s ascended gear? Because if it is, it’s probably a bug.
Someone showed that he crafted 6 ascended weapons. Maybe you can ping it on map chat without having crafted it yet?

Ugh, when will they fix it. I want to wear this armor again. Is it cuz it’s armor you guys aren’t bothering fixing it? Cuz from what I can tell you guys don’t give a crap when it’s comes to armor.
Votes are closed? I thought I could vote till tommorow. I should have double-checked the date at the event page. I guess I can throw away all my support tokens……
As long as the new ascended armor will have a new skin (full dyeable heavy, medium and light looking armor) I’ll be happy. I don’t want a Draconic/Emblazoned/Exalted armor with new stats. There are more then enough of those.
It would be nice if they at least reacted but noooooo they won’t do that. Well I’m not surprised seeing as how they never cared about armor anyway.
Notebene that is not a really dumb question, so don’t worry. Here’s a link: http://dulfy.net/2013/07/08/gw2-radiant-and-hellfire-armor-skin-gallery/
I disagree Chrispy. It differs with people. To me the Southsun Cove JP is very easy.
What I hate about the the 2 new armor sets is that it’s 3 pieces only.
You won’t see me putting effort making a legendary weapon or one of the many weapons you can make at the Mystic Forge. I get armor for stats and/or for how it looks, I get weapons for stats only. This game doesn’t give much attention to stats so no reason for me to put a lot of effort into making a weapon.
You’d think they would give armor the same attention they give weapons but for some reason they don’t.
1. Several craftable armor per armor class (heavy, medium, light)
2. Legendary and ascended armor
3. Dungeons that can be done with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 people instead of only 5.
Ayrilana, what I’d like to know is why do you care?
