Guild Wars 2

i don’t mind gem store armor, i only prefer to have armor skin rather than outfit. Of course i will be even more happy to see new content bound armor set like the insect weapons.

for runes thats apply to armor slot. if a rune said need 2 of the same rune, yes it means it. you need at least 2 pieces of armor that slot with the same rune. highest tier rune provide 6 buffs which require you to slot all armors with the same tier runes.

remember don’t add any sigil as it will soul bound the weapon and you will not able to sell it back to tradepost.

more than enough, a blue quality staff is about 3-10 silver, and you can sell it with similar price after you get a better one staff so you can consider it is a rent staff.

If mounts are cosmetic mounts which means no speed boost, what about a toggle option to disable all player mounts for ones who don’t want to see them? I will be okay to add mount if i have the option to turn all mounts off to keep me from lag.

luxymonsteri.1078:

Are you REALLY sure you want mounts in a game that has small maps and loading screens every 5 minutes? They would literally add nothing to the game except 10 more loading screens when getting from point A to point B. GW2 is not tailored for mounts at all.
No mounts. Go back to wow. Or wildstar. I don’t care.

If I am going from point A to point B how would mounts add 10 more loading screens ?

If someone take a mount from point A to point B which there are couple maps in between, that will be multiple loading screen while right now doing with WP, it is only 1 loading screen.

lv30 should be more then enough to afford a lv30 staff from TP, bought a nice blue staff for use now, don’t put and sigil in it so it remain non soul bound. When you got a better one or higher lv staff, sold it again.

Class to try: All

Class to avoid: none

Some classes require high skill (high understanding) of the game mechanics to be effective.

I have main warrior since launch and i’ve made an ele as my 4th cha, lv up to 80, don’t like her much and i think ele is weakest class until, apr 15 patch, i rolled my 9th lv80, another ele with the new trait system. This is when i felt the strength of en ele and he became my 2nd favorite cha.

Try all, see all for yourself.

Poplolita.2638:

To be honest, I don’t want anet to release an expansion. I hate gated content where I have to pay to actually play. I’d rather have them release small pieces every 2 weeks for free. I don’t know why people want to pay that badly… logic sometime.

It makes you feel so much more important if you have payed 40 bucks, and after 2 weeks when you burned through the content you complain : Oh my gawd .. thats all where i waited for a year and i payed 40 bucks for it .. are you serious ? Where is the endgame .. i want a refund.

I don’t need endgame, I rather to have new story for my characters every 2 weeks rather than big raids that I never interested to do.

Legion.3651:

I nice feature I think Anet should add to the game is the ability to assign personal names to armor, weapons and maybe even trinkets. This would be really useful for those who:

- Constantly switches builds and carry around multiple armor sets.

- Uses different weapons and often switches them.

- Enjoy switching armors to try out new looks.

It could work similarly to how gear no longer holds the name of its skin but features the name among the stats of the gear piece. Either that or the assigned name could only be visible to the owner.

I came up with this idea when I bought a new armor set to wear while playing pvp.
(I wanted my guardian to look like the avatar of Balthazar)
So if I could nickname my armor “Balthazar’s [armor piece]” it would make item sorting a lot easier in my inventory.

Any ideas on how to further expand on this concept and then let Anet know about it?

Yes, thats will be great, to name your gears and pet’s name… oh wait…

Is that even possible when the system will ALWAYS forget your pet’s name after change.

I’ve got the same question in my mind after i bought the skin.

Why is it look so different between male and female.

Female version looks so……………………. amazing, while male version is ugly as hell.

Especially the helmet for male, looks like some kind of bug….

THE GOOD

• Combat — say what you will, but the combat in this game is actually pretty good. It isn’t as balanced as GW1, but dodging/evades plus the variety of conditions and skills give you something more to do rather than just sit there and mash buttons.
• Optimization — as far as MMO’s go these days, this game is pretty smooth to play.
• Graphics — its no Michelangelo, but the artists for this game did a pretty admirable job in making the game visually interesting while not sacrificing efficiency.
• Stability — they have a quality platform that can obviously stand up to a lot of stress.
• Jumping Puzzles — the JP’s are well-designed, fun, and interesting: they did a good job adding in this new MMO element.
• The Music — the in-game music is just all-around good
• No Sub Fee — and all of the above for no subscription fees. The gemstore is there, but you really don’t miss out on much of anything by not spending.

THE BAD

• No WvW Support — it seems they wanted to include some sort of WvW in this game, and yet do not want to offer anything in the way of bug fixes, balance, and content updates to help support the format
  *Super-easy PvE Content — this is a bad thing. There really isn’t a single thing in the PvE side of the game that offers a significant challenge, thus making the content go stale quickly and negating the importance of skill
• No Sense of Wonder — while the world looks good and plays (mostly) smoothly, there isn’t really anything to draw you in and immerse you in the world. It is a sort of x-factor that is tough to describe. Either you have it or you don’t.

THE UGLY

• Megaserver — so something had to be done, I guess, about declining server populations, but this update was seemingly rushed out the door with 0 consideration given to how it would impact the community. News update: it had a profoundly negative impact.
• Lack of Meaningful Interaction — more and more, this game seems to reward players for becoming another faceless portion of a big blob of players rather than actually giving individuals and small groups something to strive for.
  Guild Features/Interface — this is by far one of the clunkiest and most feature-less guild interfaces that I have ever had to use. Nevermind the fact that outside of guild missions, the game offers basically nothing to encourage guilds to interact together.
• No New Expansions — this may be fixed at some point, hopefully. The Living Story updates are nice and all, but they in no way make up for the need for a real, full-on expansion to the game. Already people are hungry for it, and if they don’t get it then other games out there are going to start looking more and more tempting.

Feel free to comment and add your own inclusions to the list.

Agree most except:
Mega server, i love it…. to me it is “good”

No Expansion, well, free contents every 2 weeks, small contents but good for casual players like me, lack of new classes, new weapons, new race so far, doesn’t mean they will never add those in the later LS update though. Don’t need to rush all the contents or won’t being left behind because busy with works, that’s a “good” to me too.

My Dawn as looted from a lv60 dead shark in Timberline Fall near the Krait building. Well it was 9 months ago. I think it still drops but since the wardrobe change, people rather keep their precursor and craft a legendary instead of selling.

It is a content time gate that stop players who can finish an expansion size contents in 2 days. Makes them slow down follow the speed of LS content release. I am quite okay with this method, as long as it stays forever, no rush doing all in roll.

in WvW, Guilds from different worlds are fighting a war, this war doesn’t limit a single guild vs guild and it is a bigger war. Thats the GW2 version of “Guild wars” mode.

+1 to every word above.

This is in my mind since the wardrobe system is introduced.

Thanks for the sharing!

if you mean remove wp and allow us to freely travel any point of the map instantly, thats a big yes. If force me to walk or so somebody got a reason to ask for mount then big NO. I rather pay wp fee rathet than to mount or walk the entire map to find that the event is gone.

I am okay if there are goodies for buying gem with credit card like Mr. sparkles.

But stat and gear advantage is NO. Cash should never be a shortcut to more powerful in GW2. What about more cosmetic items like, a new weapon skin line in game you can gain through playing the contents but you can gain a free skin of your choice with different effect for every 4000 gem purchase.

I agree buying gem with cash should have some sort of unique cosmetic item for free.

ROLE playing game =/= healer, tank, dps roles. No matter the PvE meta now is all doing damage and provide support, it is still role playing. GW2 is an RPG, accept it.

This is not where I’m aiming. I agree that RPGs come in many types and I also like the fact this game is action oriented… but when it come to roles, its plainly cosmetic. A Warrior, a guardian, a Mesmer, etc… will do the very same things with different colours. Some classes has a couple of unique skills, rarely used except for banners or timewarp but you get the point… we all do the same. Roles are cosmetic. One speciliziation (and only one) completes everything and in the most efficient way. I can’t call that a role playing game. Its merely an action platform game with some customization, but veeeery shallow to be called an RPG.

What kind of combat role you can find in a single player RPG? Especially in the early type round based RPG, for example FF VI, is there a tank role? nope, what you can get is 2 roles max, healer and dps. What GW2 done is to spread the healing to everyone so nobody is highly rely on another to make it out alive. Doesn’t make it less of an RPG.

this is an arcade, not a roleplaying game.

I don’t know about you but I’m playing a role. And roleplaying means stats anyway, not build diversity. If you have stats and you increase them that’s all it takes.

Fifa 14 has stats (which increases), do you consider it a role playing game?

Do you play a role in this game? I do. I play a warrior or a mesmer. That’s a role. More recently RPGs are games that have stat progression. You could actually consider Fifa an RPG if you’re roleplaying someone who players soccer. That’s a role.

Those who are older in the gaming industry tend to think in rigid outlines because years ago there were less crossover games. There were very few RPGs that had arcade elements. That’s since changed.

Just because a game has platforming doesn’t mean it’s not an RPG. Just because a game has less build variety than another doesn’t mean it’s not an RPG. By what grounds do you say Guild Wars 2 isn’t an RPG, since you made the statement.

I’m talking about the gameplay, the dinamic, you don’t play an RPG here; you play an arcade. There is no difference with games like Assasin’s Creed or DarkSiders, or any action platform game. This in an MMO Action Platform Game. Not an RPG. Stop the false advertising.

I don’t agree with you, even rpg, there are many different types. ARPG, SRPG etc

GW2 is an MMORPG, to be exact, it is MMO-A-RPG, which means it is action oriented MMORPG, thats why some player felt like playing arcade game. The game is created with dodge, space, positioning, direction, timing in mind, doesn’t make it not an rpg. The fact is we are all playing a role, a warrior, a mesmer etc.

ROLE playing game =/= healer, tank, dps roles. No matter the PvE meta now is all doing damage and provide support, it is still role playing. GW2 is an RPG, accept it.

Nick.6972:

And exactly how does it change your first 5 skills or what they do or how you use them?

My warrior run either 6/5/0/0/3, 0/5/0/6/3, my utility skills are most usually FGJ, SIO, balanced stance, my different armor always with soldier rune.

for 6/5/0/0/3 it is a pure great sword damage build, nothing worth mentioning.

But when i am with 0/5/0/6/3, I can either use shout heal, regen banner or phantax strength. I can take empowered allies or shung it off. Weapon choice, i can choose between 1h sword, great sword, rifle, longbow.

My trait differences greatly affect my play style. If i am running shout heal, I can support teammate while running around. If i am running regen banner, i will swap out balanced stance with one banner skill and battle standard for elite, combat will be more stationed. If i am running phantax strength, i will dash into the heat of combat and provide high might to allies.

These builds are not meta build but i feel very comfortable and never got kicked ever.

lv40 for every class mean you are at the grade 1 level of most class. I have all classes lv80. I hated my first lv80 ele and rerolled another lv80. Properly geared so to discovered the strength of playing an ele.

Each class has pro and con. Why players play classes out of warrior because other classes are as strong or stronger than a warrior due to good player skill.

sharkstein.2109:

I hope you DO realise that katanas are ONE-handed weapons, right?

No, katana are meant to be used with both hands unless you are dual katana, which is very special katana art. And most dual katana art are one standard and one short katana.

I played a lot of japanese samurai game and watched their movie so to say.

Legendary is nothing legendary except: Legendary lucky, Legendary no life, Legendary rich

I have to agree with this statement, which was why I created this thread to convince ArenaNet to make the current ascended weapons, natural precursors to their legendary counterparts:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Making-Ascended-Weapons-into-Precursors/first#post4203266

Since so many people already have the money to buy ascended weapons in the game (i.e. you see them almost everywhere), there is no reason to make it even worse for those who choose to craft their way into legendary through crafting a precursor (i.e. hopefully the precursors would be the ascended weapons).

On one end, i am not against any form of precursor crafting, on the other end, as a legendary proud owner, i don’t enjoy seeing any more common of legendary weapon. If ascended weapon is made into precursor, it has to be precursor of an entire new legendary set. For me, i don’t buy or MF my precursor but there are thousands of players that wasted thousands of gold to acquire their precursor. How is it fair if one day precursor was made into such easy obtainable than it was? But if it is new legendary then the issue will not exist.

Legendary is nothing legendary except: Legendary lucky, Legendary no life, Legendary rich

To me only legendary lucky i will consider it EPIC. But thats how things work, and it is working as intended. There is actually no reason to acquire a legendary instead of an ascended weapon which is 98%+ cheaper. So it is not necessary to get one asap.

Legendary is a long term goal. If you want it quick, buy one from TP, no gold? buy gem, no cash? play no life, no time no cash? try luck, either MF or wait for a drop. No luck, no time and no cash, sorry, no legendary for you.

I admit i am not no-life, i don’t want to buy legendary with cash, the highest amount of gold is 202 gold in my account. Therefore i never wanted a legendary, not even start any legendary crafting until i am lucky enough to get drop. 7 months of game play, slowly gather laurel for T6, gather karma for shard etc. I felt epic for equipping my Sunrise finally.

hey, woah.. slow down there
no need to introduce facts and rational thinking into this thread z_z
the baseless opinions and repeat posters were moving it along just fine

LMAO, seriously, sometimes people just need to look at the other armors that are available before labling…. because the truth is, most female armors, are well covered, and not skimpy at all.

Agreed and also people tends to ignore those “skimpy” armor are not outfit, where everyone can mix and match.
Incarnate Light Armor is a great example. Generally you can call it a skimpy armor but if you use a chest skin which is non skimpy, you got yourself a very practical image. Even many armor SETs are concidered skimpy but under some mix and match you, some of these skimpy armor can fit well into non skimpy outcome. This is the core value of GW2 cosmetic. Players cannot see this because most player loved their female toon look sexy and badaxx.

i can not reply either read all of these replies… but i will repeat what i said earlier one more time

i didn’t say that the price should go down to 20g …all im saying is that 1000g is not a price of an an axotic weapon or a crafting matierial

and for your information some who could efford 1000g +whatever more gold/gems to transform… can efford a 3000g to buy a legendary directly from the TP

so the real question is …is legendary even worth crafting it since its price getting closer and closer to the legendary it self?

peace

No, legendary is not worth crafting, don’t even start one if you don’t have a precursor drop. Ascended weapon is what you will need. Legendary is the most effective gold sink in the game, especially players threw thousands of gold into MF for precursor….

1>i agree with you 100% and don’t you think that should change that the legendary should be worth crafting
*************
i am asking because i think something can be crafted it CAN be crafted and because i think that the other materials used to craft the legendary needs alot of time and money also and i think we don’t need something else expansive to be bought by gems
i mean if gems gonna be involved why don’t they just put the legendary only for sale not crafting and if someone farmed 1000g i don’t think he’ll waste it on the “precursor”
he will buy the other materials at least that’s what i will do if i had 1000g and what’s bugging me is knowing that it will get more expansive if no actions going to be taken

---

please don’t take advantage of my english (because it is my 4th language ) and jump on one word i wrote please see the general idea i am trying to say here

peace

Thats the problem, legendary already become one of the most common skin in open world. I think what we need are new legendary set that may or may not need a precursor.

For example legendary greatsword, when a player had collected all gift but missing a precursor, if there is another work around way to use those gift to craft the new legendary, they will drop the old skin and work on the new one thats dont require dawn or dusk. The demand on these precursors will drop slowly. Problem is what is needed to replace precursor for new legendary set? how to obtain it? i will say something time gated which every player can get just a matter of time.

If thats happens, players who got lots of luck/gold/time can still go for the current set; players who dont have luck/time/gold can work on the new set instead.

The thing is, there are too little time and too many things needed to do.

While armor issue i think Anet has already doing very good, we have a wide range of armor to choose from, from skimpy to non skimpy, practical to fantasy. My only complain is the lack of diversity of medium armor.

As i said earlier, every player got their own armor preference, there just ain’t enough time to fit everyone’s needs. Therefore all games make armors separately for different gender. This is the most practical and simplified way to fit most players’ needs.

Gem store armor for female is designed to always have skimpy and non skimpy included in 1 design. Either sexy top or sexy legging or both, why? Because we are expected to mix and match. I am sure the sales volume is very low if the female version is very practical.

For example: Incarnate Light Armor, it has a very skimpy chest armor skin for female, but on the other hand, it has a very lovely non skimpy legging too. I don’t know hows OP is thinking about the armor skin. For me, if i want a very skimpy toon, the top is very nice, if i want a non skimpy toon, the pant is very nice. See? The option is already here, just see how you’ve like to mix and match your own taste of armor.

What about also let us choose to show 1) either left or right shoulder, 2) only left or right shoulder on both shoulder, 3) legging armor to show skin or a pant inside, 4) either left or right glove armor, 5) only left or right glove armor on both hands etc

Personally i loved 50% of arah heavy armor, why? because i like the left shoulder and left glove but i hated the right shoulder and glove. I like the boot but i hated the hands, i like the legging but i hated the chest…. what about all armor parts got options?

See? Everyone has their own armor preferences, if all of our requests being answered, just to modify the game armors’ options can stack over 10000 hours of works.

So what about, stop this armor request and take what we’ve got?

this function already been asked since day one of the game. Therefor tgis request is as old as the game.

No, but change ranger “fortified bond” to works both ways, whenever ranger or his pet gain a boon, it shares. Then a ranger with longbow and a melee pet will gain the stacked boon his pet gained at least. Only spotter is not fully shared….

this ^ i pretty much agree.

GW2 is the only MMO i can play for almost 2 years and still looking forward to more contents. Still feels fun about combats, and still got a lot of stuffs yet to do.

Taygus.4571:

jiust log in once every 2 weeks, ..don’t play. in 6 months time, then play. Should have “lots of content” then.

to burn through in a few days, just as you would with an expansion.

You got the OP wrong, he wanted paid contents,
therefore he should not log in for months and then buy gems with credit card to buy all the season 2 contents in one go.

there are no healers… ofc you aren’t getting rewarded… no one needs your healing lol, i can handle myself just fine . ty thou..

That’s the one glaring bad thing about this game – there’s no real community. You can literally just do everything solo, on your own (outside of dungs/fractals)…
Open world events? nope, not required to join a party , no real benefit other than somewhat making it easier to tag mobs.
Teq/Wurm? nope, you will still get chest if you arent in a party
You can still get boons and reflects, etc without being a party.
Too much zerg oriented content in this game… which is great for casuals lol
WvW? nope hop on a zerg or solo roam.
PvP? outside of team arena, no need to party up.

this game could use more instanced content where it’s absolutely beneficial to be in a good, coordinated group of people. Theres too few examples of this right now. even after nearly 2 years, its only fractals/speed clearing dungs really.

Do you even play Teq or Wurm?
You need other players doing their jobs in different parts of the fight in order for the run to work.
Try doing teq without turrets – or wurm without reflects and tell me how it worked out.

This game also caters to people who like more independence and not being tied down to other players. If we wanted that we’d be playing other trinity games where you can’t even attempt content without certain people playing healer or tank or whatnot.

I have done teq, many a times. and You don’t need to be in a group to win. You can just solo and hop on turret defense or join the zerg at teqs feet or shoot turrets, etc… then battery phase, just pick one and help defend it… done this countless times without needing to be in a party…. does it help to be in a full group doing a specific role? sure, more organized is always better, but I can still go in teq and it can still be successful without a party

A party is a 5 man group.

A zerg is a 40 man group. You still need to be part of groups to succeed at teq, you still need defense groups, turret groups, the ERT and so on – but you don’t need those small groups.

How is that an issue?
The encounter still requires strategy, organization and group play – but on a bigger scale than 5 man.

If you want 5 man scaled content – dungeons and fractals are where you need to go – and you will see the clear benefit of having a group there.

Do a dungeon with 2-3 people or solo – then do it with 5 people. And the difference will be clear.

And that was my point….. theres hardly ANY new group/party content that is rewarding.
Dungs – seriously, sick and tired of hearing about this nonsense. All anyone does now is just a couple for daily runs of gold and thats it. Dungs have BARELY been touched/upgraded for 2 years. Look at the PUGs on LFG tool, its a joke how much of an after thought dungs are in this game now. Hardly anyone does them.
Fractals – I enjoy them, but theres gotta be more variety and better rewards for the time spent in there. A lot of ppl do them for those fractal skins and its soo badly RNG based it’s not even worth it anymore for me.
Teq/Wurm – Not a true PARTY required content like fracs/dungs. Again, yes you need a coordinated zerg to do these 2 , but still. Its usually only successful once a day thing and you don’t need to be in a party because this is an open world raid and everyone in the area is basically in a big party without actually joining up.

Point is theres just no content in this game that says “oh god, better get someone with a ton of healing power and cleanses or i’m screwed” Get rid of that mentality OP, if you want feel rewarded as a healer, play a different MMO with trinity like Wildstar. There’s no other role in this game besides DPS (talking strictly PvE here, WvW and PvP is a different story)

Yes, the game don’t reward being a pure healer. It is because being healer is optional, not a requirement. If healer is considered as combat requirement, what is the differences to a trinity model?

The whole point of creating GW2 is to evolve away from healer tank dps model therefore it is pointless to make contents based on a need of healer.

Well, if there is sort of toggle weapon option, i will be a lot more happy.

I have rolled Charr for many times and every time i killed the character to make room for another race. It is because of the slow motion 4 leg run… if i can toggle weapon and always carry a weapon as a Charr, i am sure i can finally make a lv80 Charr….

if you can buy it, means you have enough gold to by precursor and all materials, even to lv up crafting to 400 as well. That means the most critical element you can obtain without issue then why don’t build yourself one and be a proud legendary user.

Let the legendary rot on TP.

whats the difference in buying the legendary or buying all mats + precursor in terms of feeling good bout a legendary?

buying is buying so why care?

Buying all mat and precursor =/= buying a legendary.

you cannot buy 200 skill points, you cannot buy clover, you cannot buy gift of battle, you cannot buy… well the list can go on for a lot more, there are still a lot of efforts besides T6 mat and precursor….

sure – but still this give the item not a higher, better status than the other item

there is nothing legendary bout a legendary – its only a word in the tooltip
and how you get it when you want it dont change anything bout it – its just a item, skin – nothing more

Yes, it is a skin, nothing is legendary, but one who craft their own legendary is a journey, no matter buying all T6 and precursor. For me, I looted my dawn and crafted my sunrise and i feel epic after all. Whats matter is the great commitment to craft a legendary; buying a legendary is like buying a gem skin, means nothing.

Actually it is easy and fast, i rerolled my 2nd ele normally and he got all the desired traits by the moment hitting lv80. By the way his leveling only took me a week of time.

Better hold off your T6 mat, shard, lodestone. DON’T try to make any of the gift before you get yourself a precursor. This is very important before once you made a gift you are no turning back.

Try world completion first, you may have luck getting a precursor but save up gold as a backup plan. In case you done your map completion and still no precursor, buy one from TP, if you dont have enough gold, see if the mat in your bank is worth enough to pay the precursor cost. If yes, sold them and buy yourself a precursor. This is why i said not to make any gift, as the mat cost could be the key to your precursor. NOTHING is more important than a precursor. Even if you dont want to make a legendary later, you can still sell it for much more gold later.

Once you have a precursor, only a matter of time to your succeed. Dont gamble dont rush because you will never be the first legendary user nor the last.

Just go for the world boss champ train, i gain dragonite 10x faster than empyreal now…

I’ve mained an Elementalist and a Warrior since the 1st beta event. I build them both to be effective, but mainly hard to play. I can say for sure that once you’ve grasped both professions (and are rolling a build as described), the Elementalist is a lot easier to play; It’s all a matter of cycling through skills in different orders, while in the Warrior’s case, it’s much more a matter of timing the correct skills in order to stay effective w/o dying on the spot.

This is funny, I totally agree on your experience. This is the same story for me as well. Few people can use the exact skill at the exact most optimal moment. Usually with elementalist is that you have a few sets of rotation that you do. However as a warrior, timing, comboing, canceling, and the ability to bait dodges becomes more of a center stage of play.

To give a extremely simplfied example:
A does 100 damage with 10 hits, and B does 100 damage with 1 hits. Which one is simpler? Well A has to use 10 attacks and B use only 1 attack. But if the target avoid a few hits from A, no big deal, A can just continue to use more attacks, as some will hit. But if the target avoid a hit from B, B is screwed. So what B has to do is try to his best to make sure the target does not or cannot avoid the hit.

In the case of low skill players, they are targets never avoid hits. So B is easier by far.

This is exactly the reason I find elementalist boring to play.

I have the same experience tho, agree everything above except…

Ele is also fun to me. I had 2 ele and 2 warrior, both ele able to reach lv80 while my 2nd warrior stopped at lv40 and is waiting for the sentence of death. Especially my 2nd ele is created after 15/4 patch where he has to learn his trait on the hard way. Still managed to cut through contents, unlocked his desired traits along his leveling, i am happy with both my warrior and ele.

Yes it is feeling good swinging a legendary crafted by a loot precursor and self gathering. I did that but there is no way to tell how a player obtain a legendary.

Unless the skin of the legendary can be idenitfied by self craft / bought. Players around will still accuse you bought gem covert gold and got it from TP.

It was a terrible no life jounery to craft a legendary to me. If i am lucky enough to loot another precursor i will list it on TP in a heart beat.

I have all classes at lv80. Warrior is my main, and i hated my ele until 15/4 patch, i rerolled another ele and i found a lot of fun.

Warrior is much simple and strong, but if you got hit on your weak spot, player skill is not gonna help.

While everyone says ele is squish, but i found in a lot of “warrior must die” scenario, ele can survive better.

Why don’t you try an ele instead.

OMG, Logan… I can’t believe it…. The one who spent most time on the floor in CM… and unbelievably survived during the arah suicide mission..

LoL

if i got a healer ascended armor box i will be excited and not able to sleep for the night. No matter celestial or cleric stat i have character can be of use. Even if the stat are not suitable for any of my character i am glad to unlock the skin as i really not interested to craft one.

So I just got Kudzu and it’s adorable and all but it has very low visibility. The only way I can tell who has a Kudzu is by following the flower trail because seeing the weapon itself is very hard from a distance. Doesn’t seem fitting for a legendary.

I can recognize Kudzu here and there but out of all legendary it is not very outstanding.

I, however, can’t have any love in both legendary bows, for longbow i think Wing of Dwayna looks more legendary to me.

Yea, i agree that it is no point to get a legendery. The cost to obtain a precursor is insane and after all the gathering. It is just a very common skin you met everywhere.

i have made my sunrise, the hyper feeling only lasted for couple mins. i am glad i didn’t throw anything in toilet nor a buy order on TP, as my whole life in GW2 i never able to save up more than 201 gold.

Couple days ago, i met a random player who greet me for my sunrise. he said it is a very beautiful sword but then he asked me HOW AM I ABLE TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY TO BUY THE SWORD. i lost my will to chat any longer. i loot my dawn i gathered my own materials and everyone thought i bought the sword? i am done with legendary.

Can’t find another more satisfying mix and match option.
