Guild Wars 2

I used all of my SP scrolls I had been saving. Since SP will get turned into currency whether you’ve got them on your characters or in scroll form, it was a waste of space to let the scrolls sit in my bank, so I read them all, dividing them evenly between my characters.

Novae.3409:

And i don’t want to kill 1M dolyaks

Too bad. Go do it, anyway. You haven’t beat this game until you’ve completed every single achievement that is in the entire game.

Better get busy…

If someone has full trait unlocks, they ought to automatically have them all after HoT. That’s in my opinion, and it doesn’t seem like it would be very difficult to do.

I have a Sylvari Ranger that I really haven’t been playing much, so maybe she’ll finally get some face time in HoT.

I very much doubt they want to make ascended gear more effective since then a lot of players would feel like they HAD to have it. They’ve always seemed to want to keep exotic as the top gear anyone really needs.

Lexan.5930:

Whats gonna happen to scrolls and tomes of knowledge? While it may suck to not insta level a rev, it might be nice to go through the game again with the new level system, you know, take a step back from rushing around at max level and just enjoy the early game again for the first time.

No one has said anything about changes to the Tomes of Knowledge. There are going to be TONS of insta-leveled revs come launch day, count on it.

The Falling damage trait is something I like using while leveling and then I get rid of it after I’m not running all over the world all the time, but it is definitely a nice trait for certain things.

So far, anyway, the changes to the trait system seem overall to be better than what is currently effective. I have a lot of characters with no traits essentially because I’m not going to spend that much gold on traits for multiple characters, nor am I going to chase events that many times.

With the new system, I can simply level and finish my maps for all the traits I need.

Jermoe Morrow.9501:

“Existing skill points” sounds to me like we may as well use the scrolls now anyway, because any extras points we have well turn into materials.
Or am I reading this wrong?

That’s what it looks like to me. It sounds like any scrolls in our vaults will be automatically changed to these new crafting materials.

Let’s face it: Mastery points from Old Tyria WILL be retroactive.

There’s just no way they can do anything else.

They’re doing nothing. Use it to make ascended armor and weapons or don’t. If you don’t want ascended, then there’s really nothing to do but destroy it all.

Why would you keep champ bags?

But rantz are one of the things that make the interwebz so much fun….

I’d rather have my ability to get traits for my alts tied to map completions I can do any time than to events that don’t necessarily spawn when I’m leveling in the area or events that no one bothers to do and can’t be soloed or cost an arm and a leg in gold, like they have now.

It would be nice if they added collections tabs for all the new currencies in our vault to save space.

Why are we assuming the Mystic Forge crafting item is NEW? Isn’t it possible that it’s an existing crafting material?

If traits are now tied to the completion of skill challenges to get your hero points, then those with map completion will not lose anything. However, it looks like level 80s with no real map completions will either have less than they do now or the points just from having leveled from 1-80 will cover most things.

I’d say to go do whatever achievements you haven’t done yet, but you did say without grinding for hours on end, so I guess that advice isn’t going to work since there are soooo many grindy achieves.

Azhure.1857:

1. Adjust chat filters
2. Report when appropriate
3. Block

Good advice, although an A-net staffer did say that having a profanity filter was no excuse for players to cuss a blue streak.

Maybe it’s a troll thread.

With people being able to craft precursors, I think it’s inevitable this will mean more people getting them and therefore selling them, so more in the market means the price will likely drop.

Gaag.6538:

so, u guys advocating for outfits , what would you say are the benefits of “outfit” as oppose to “skins”?.

No transmutation cost.

I hope there’s a lot of new zones with this content rather than, say, just three or whatever.

Badwolf.9725:

Third, “trains”. The massive events being on a giant timer means all you do is chase one world boss to the next world boss to the next one to the next one…. However, it doesn’t even end there, looking at SW, SW sets up the expansion in my mind as a giant grind. All you do in SW is chase one event to the next. Nothing really feels “important” either. I defend X camp, repair the wall, kill the next wave, repair wall…for what? To grind some more?

It sounds like the HoT areas are going to basically follow this same design from SW. So, if you don’t like that sort of thing, HoT might not be too enjoyable for you. I’m figuring on multiple zones with all rewards tied to an event cycle leading up to some “major” end event. Rinse and repeat.

Stomach Thorns is catchy.

Why do you care if everyone has a legendary? That seems like an odd obsession to me.

As a key farmer, I never craft to level because there are way easier and cheaper ways to reach level 10. In fact, I don’t even know key farmers that level by throwing money at crafting.

What I would like to know is whether crafting will be required to make the new legendary weapons.

I like charr to look kinda military. But that’s just me.

I really don’t understand why SAB can’t be a permanent part of the game. Anything with achievements that isn’t strictly a seasonal festival should be available all the time.

GW2 has really great online resources for just about everything in the game.

Rift, on the other hand, for instance, has terrible online info. Forget about learning about anything beyond the vanilla.

It is possible to have new content in the meantime

SAB

Yeah, please fix the lousy current trait system. We hates it, precious.

It’ll get removed anyway.

I thought female Norn was the master race.

Yeah, I quit depositing money in my vault when it was no longer necessary for my other character to be able to use the money. That was the only reason I needed to do it in the first place. I don’t need a “savings” account.

Vegeta.2563:

I like that they are some what rare to get, and people HAVE to invest in keys to get them, nice way for ANet to make some money out of it. At least I won’t have to worry about everyone and their grandma having the mini’s.

This might make sense if each mini you got was one you actually needed. Having 10 of the same mini when you can only use 1 makes zero sense.

And no one cares if other people also have the same minis that I do.

How did you “fall” for it? You make it sound like they tricked you or something.

Wouldn’t all of this be solved if individual players simply kept their money on them instead of chucking it into a personal guild vault? Does it matter that the money is all in the same place?

I doubt they will ever get rid of outfits. It’s a great way for us to change our looks without having to spend transmutation charges to do it.

A way to toggle any animation changes would be really great and would solve a lot of the problems with this sort of event.

They would likely go for more than 3 g, not that it matters if they did.

I figure that tomes of knowledge will work the way they do now for 2-80, but they may not work to level for masteries.

Silberfederling.9302:

i think i learned my lesson well, do not read the forums or you loose your faith into your “fellow gamers” beeing actual feeling human beeings

Keep in mind that the people that come on here to flame those voicing their concerns politely are a very, very small minority of this game’s population overall. It helps a little at least to remember this.

Dissonant.9357:

Win. The OP is full of it.

Which one? This thread now has around 25 or so OP posts. lol

If you use a name change scroll, does this change also affect your personal story as it’s written in your Hero panel section? For instance, does the new name appear in the "I’m (name here). at the beginning of the story blog?

Thanks!

I doubt it.

/moar char

Yeah, they’ll turn it off sometime tonight or tomorrow.

It seemed like there was a way to get rid of the bobble heads last year. I think I just logged off and on and it was gone? Something like that.

pete.1824:

Anet should comment and act upon on what has been said in this discussion, remove this game mod ASAP, it is only making the kids happy… in some way?? not sure why they think its funny?

Why are you copying this in every single thread?
