Guild Wars 2

Lalocat.6793:

It’s just a skin but it’s a very nice skin. I do enjoy the game more since I made mine tbh. It’s just so pretty. Better than I was expecting, at least on one character. Other one has horrible clipping issues when stowed, but most gs clip horribly on female norn. (bought pre, never had one drop)

Also the footfall is very annoying to me. On my character with sunrise, it looks like he just have a swim or sweating or peeing…. and i always saw somebody is bleeding running around me with twilight…

i am seriously thinking to reskin to an exotic greatsword instead.

Hell no, I will prefer change DWA into Weapon Agility: 10% faster on all weapon, +5% when dual wielding.

When you trait into arms 6, you have to sacrifice a lot but if it works for all weapons, there maybe more build diversity that aim for a more fluid skill use by sacrifice a bit damage or defense.

Currently the skill is very niche as too little build have both weapon set dual wielding, so as a grand master skill, it usually only benefit 50% of your weapon set. The sacrifice is far beyond the gain at the moment.

i use mail to trade with another player. it is working fine because they are my trusted friend.

i can’t think of any reason to trade with a specific player i don’t know. you can buy anything from TP.

I think nobody will trade with individual for item that is more expensive than TP. Maybe the only reason is to bypass the TP tax and buy the item cheaper than TP. If thats the case, player should risk being scammed for not using TP.

This is completely wrong:
a: The tax on BLT have no relevance. 0 tax on BLT still doesn’t mean players are able to trade individually.

b: What you’re saying is as illogical as anybody who says you shouldn’t play any mmorpg if you can’t trust other players in the game with your password or social security number. You have to trade only with people you trust. You have to play mmorpgs with only people you trust. It’s not realistic.

1) Tp tax is by design a gold sink in the first hand, will they allow players to bypass the gold sink by any mean? it is completely wrong if they allow a bypass. If even if they add a direct trade, the charge should be much higher.

2) Did you play a MMO for trading items? i don’t, i play for coop and it makes no difference there is direct or not. if everyone use direct trade to bypass tax, there will be none using the TP for expensive item and all player will have to enduce the WTS spam in lion’s arch again.

Didn’t work.

What about? No

i’ve just leveled my new ele to lv80 and i am in love with him. Attunement dance is the only reason i like ele.

i play a shout heal warrior, a mandra healing mesmer, a shout symbol healing guardian. All of them more or less use some zerker gear. i am happy to take them going any dungeon. i dont spec for max dps but i can hold my weight, while also able to help the party mange HP a bit.

Party members more or less needs to take care themselves but when their own heal is not quite enough, my heal is there to help them get it through. i dont see any of my heal is broken or useless.

here another way I could be more clear for you dps junky do understand my point

I would like it where they could be 2 option to run a dungeon

Option A
lets get 5 dps and run the dungeon fast

Option B
Lets get 4 dps and 1 healer to run the dungeon smoother

well gets what! Option B is not available b/c the healing support is to weak to do its job

No offense meant, but people might understand your point better if you wrote with a bit more clarity. (e.g. spelling, grammar…..not asking you to be perfect, but come on…at least get it close so that most have a chance to decipher it) The above post and the post before it(2 of many examples) are muddy and confusing, at best.

Yes I am extremely sorry English is my second language, I try to use spell check all the time but the grammar is kind of hard even the programs I use on the net don’t do a good job

But I wouldn’t go as far as say that my grammar or spelling is the issue here. The ppl who are debating the issue is b/c to them is insignificant , is not in there play style so it matter not that healing works or not.

As long option A is available there are content with the game itself but there a few of us that would like to be playing option B

And as demonstrated in the videos I posted it’s very easy to do any dungeon with 5 healer characters and do it without even dodging, while only using auto attacks. Why do you say 4 dps and 1 healer isn’t “doable”, because it certainly is. And it is a lot smoother indeed.

Yes a video of 5 cleric gear equip not 4 dps and 1 healer. 5 ppl using cleric will make any group barely get a scratch on there HP just with Regeneration tick and auto attack healing effect from weapon and food effect with out the need of using any healing spells

1 healer does not work b/c the healing alone is gimpy, alone you heal about 20% of ppl HP every 10 sec that is to low to keep any person half alive when mobs are able to take down 60% of your HP under 5 sec

If 5 players can do a dungeon very very easily with their healing gear (to the point of being afk while doing it) and you want to buff healing? I don’t get it, how much of an easy mode do you want the game to be?

New dungeon meta: LFG Healers only!

He wants to have 4 people who don’t have to heal themselves at all, and are dedicated to DPS and a 5th who isn’t dedicated to healing, but is still able to keep the whole group up the entire time all by himself.

That seems to be the gist of his argument, which is why everyone has been telling him no.

What? a part time healer but still able to out heal the party damage? That’s not even possible to happen in trinity…. I can’t imagine if healing is such OP, what will it be the full time healer… keep regen up and hit 1 and solo arah path 4….

Please excuse me, such thinking is extraordinary….

Every player hold their own weight because they all have healing skill, a cleric guardian is to help filling up the gap in between their healing skill CD, put up aegis, protection, blind etc. If a single player is able to out heal all the damage, why do we need aegis, protection, blind, weakness….

These boons / conditions play a more important role in damage reduction and hp management. Healing alone must be weak in order to encourage active defense. IMO a supportive player with skill to utilize these boons and conditions to highly reduce party wide damage is much more smart and skillful than a single minded healer player.

couple days ago, i joined the event with another player, after the fight, we have a little conversation below:

He: My fight was a slide show
Me: Yes me too

This never happens to me on this event before.

Healing is not useless when the party is not able to withstand the damage taken. When a pug is not as experienced in dungeon, healing is good way to support, along with protection boon and aegis. But the central concept of GW2 is allow player with good skill to be able to use berserker gear and survive. Their reward is time, speed dungeon run. The game has been out for almost 2 years, players have been playing the same contents couple hundreds times, there is nothing wrong for them to run berserker gear and speed clear content. But there are always new players and they will be wipe in a blink of eye for unfamiliar contents. There its where healing support shines.

i have 10 characters, 8 x lv80 (each class) pre patch. 1 x lv39 pre patch and 1 x lv65 post patch.

The new character is a class i have least interest (elementialist) and i reroll because i simply don’t like asura (my first ele is asura) and also wanna try the new trait system. As i already said, i’ve got all class to lv80 and mostly proper geared. The new character is mainly to try out the new trait system.

Actually i quite enjoy the trait system. Yes, some adept tier traits are locked out by hard content to my level, but because of this i am able to use another unlocked trait that i was never planned to use. This way i have a much better knowledge on the class i am using, and this also increased the interest level too. (as i mentioned it is least interest to me)

I have a habit to finish the map 100% before move on (don’t wanna spend loading time come back for the missing POI or waypoint later), this allow me to get surprise trait unlock everytime i finish a map.

I think GW2 vet will not like this complex trait system like most of these post, but as a new player, the system can help them know better their class, try more different traits and go into the open PvE world more. The limitation on some trait unlock is to guide the player to try out some weaker trait first then to go straight into a superior trait. The fun is actually there.

Drakent.9605:

@Zelkovan.2630:

You keep miss understanding , you keep thinking of a main healer role when I talking of a support role a class that keeps players half alive while dpsing ,this was actually ANET TRUE intention they didn’t want a wack a mole healer but a class that can back up another player when needed the most. Why do you think they increase healing on this patch ? didn’t you notice they give a extra 10% increase to all out going heal and another 25% healing increase to elemental

My support guardian stack healing in main gear, she got dps gear too. In dungeon there are countless of time the pug are not able to withstand the damage which i was the only one able to survive and reset fight while i was in dps gear. i rez and swap gear then we beat the dungeon without trouble.

tell me a hundred times healing is useless though there are moments that you need it and your team need it. Current problem is players beat dungeon countless of time. Dungeon is more familiar than their home, why would they need healing gear?

Before i bought the game, i am under the impression that GW2 do not rely on healing. And after i bought the game i thought it is not true, the damage from mob is high. Until i understand the mechanics. Yes they already said this game is not focus on taking damage and heal. It is not broken it is working as intended. Healing is just one of the support and it will stay the same.

I would still like to see this. I know there are dueling servers but I don’t think they quite fulfill the need (is it just me?).

Dueling is necessary for players to have a fair 1v1 battle with their friends without the inevitable 1v1 battle turns into a 3v1 battle ending in rage and exasperation. This also helps a player learn to fight specific classes and hone their skills in a fair environment.

PvE dueling is necessary because players shouldn’t have to go through 2 loading screens and a possible queue to duel with a friend real fast in the mists, then take another 2 loading screens to get back to PvE followed by a waypoint to get close to where they were adventuring before when they decided to have a quick duel.

I feel this feature would be really nice and possibly even introduce PvE players to PvP in a more fun and less frustrating way… among friends and not probably angry strangers.

When it comes to fair fight, using PvE gear is already against “Fairness”. Full exotic vs Full ascended gear already make a difference. This is why we have separate gear for PvP and PvE in the first hand.

There is already fairness. It is called decline duel.

I want to use rare gear and fight against players with ascended.

Interesting, by your logic. Wanted a fair duel should decline the duel request. So when you request duel, the other player wants a fair duel should always decline your request.

There’s an easy fix here. Stop trying to get/make a legendary, UNLESS you get a precursor drop. Don’t “save up”. This is a game, gosh darn it. You’re supposed to be having fun, not working.

Play the game, have fun, do what you want. If by chance a precursor drops for you, great, then start your quest. Otherwise, forget it. Why continue to make others “rich” at your expense?

That’s all well and good, and generally good advice, but if you don’t start saving up early on, if you ever get a precursor drop, it’ll take you forever to get the rest of it. You need 2000-2500 T6 mats alone, 250 each, but 750 crystalline dust for Bifrost. Others don’t require as much dust.

The current method of acquiring a precursor is too heavily reliant on RNG.

No, ozmaniandevil’s advise is actually the truth.

If you are mean to get a drop, you don’t need to buy one, if you are not, then so be it. I just got my Sunrise done 2 weeks ago. Well my highest gold saving is about 200 gold. Tell me if i am able to save up to buy a precursor my entire life in GW2? No, definitely not affortable.

I got a dawn as loot and i put it in bank for a month or two to work on the golden title. Because I knew once I start the legendary quest, I will never able to make 200 gold again, and i am correct. By the time, I got almost 0 T6 materials because I either crafted exotic or I sold them. I have 0 obsidian shard because i wasted mine on some ascended materials already. I have to carefully plan every single kama, every single laurel and every single skill point in order to shorten my overall quest time. Finally I got 22 gold left after 7 months of hard working to gain my Sunrise.

My principle since day one is:
I loot it i make it, if i don’t, so be it.

Brother Grimm.5176:

Completely forgot about dying weapons until that page…..sigh.

My favorite Greatswords are Cobalt (almost too flashy an animation) and Aureate Highlander (awesome looking “aged” weapon). Lionguard, Seraph and Krytan are all good, non-massive skins that are not difficult to obtain. I really want Kymswarden but it only comes out of the mystic flusher.

Kymswarden skin can be obtained from high lv personal story.

I didn’t play much in GW1 because i started playing very late, after chinese version , faction and nightfall released, North of the eye almost release… hardly able to find enough players for complete the final missions.

Thanks for the info, cool story dude.

I kinda like Firebringer, too. Or Honor of Humanity, if you’re not a fan of the flaming swords. But Infinite Light wins the spotlight 11 cases out of 10.

But to have a sword that can be both one-handed and 2-handed and you are able to switch… I don’t think that would be possible in this game.

I like flame or thurder effect, but Firebringer sword is too short for my taste. For a classic sword type design in 1h sword category, only infinite light, AC sword, Aureate Rinblade, Etched Einhander can be classify as long sword, and only infinite light looks good and the price… forget it again.

I want katana style too, too bad it is only in GW so far.

Rinblade is nice and it has a cool oldschool air about it for those who know what it used to be.

I am using Rinblade skin for my 1h sword, but i don’t know what it used to be really, can you enlighten me a bit, dude?

Mijo.3274:

Why people get mad about legendaries?
I play since beta and dont even have half the things to make one, i still won noobs in 1v4 in WvW with my stupid glyphic sword skin (7 badges of honor lol), and the most satisfying thing is that most of this guys have legendaries.
Owning guys with legendary weapons, that’s the end game for me.

I guess many players already collected every contents for a legendary but left alone a precursor, and finally the long time waiting turned into rage.

I personally will assume I don’t get any items by RNG, if RNG god look at me and bang, something valuable out of no where, it is a surprise. Otherwise, i will enjoy my game with or without a legendary.

All i can say is, take it easy dude.

ZeinTheBeast.2091:

So I bought the deluxe pack yesterday and created a Norn and keep in mind I know nothing about the game I am just trying out classes to pick my main all I knew was that I was going to receive ingame items as soon as I created my character. So I created my Norn and I did a couple of quests and I didn’t like it so I created a human ranger and I was shocked that I didn’t receive the items just like I did on my Norn. No one told me it is only locked to one character. If I knew this I would have just bought the normal one, what a rip off.

The mail you received got red message text told you which item will send only once and which item will send upon new character creation. The mail also remind you not to del that character receiving the one time item.

Why do i know, i just upgraded my game to deluxe version and i read those mail carefully.

Try submit a support ticket and see if the customer service can help you.

1) As OP, leveling is one of the great pleasure. I got 8 lv80 and 2 extra slots. Especially the down scaling makes up a very good exp no matter solo roaming or playing with friends. I no longer need to left a toon lv behind so i can enjoy playing with low lv real live friends.

2) Removal of trinity, this is a few MMO that not rely on some specific role to play harder contents, i know berserker is the pve meta but i don’t feel forced to use berserker gear here and there. I can build every character to what i want to play.

I may bring you a bad news, and i hope i am wrong.

[Please note that skins or partials skins that you previously purchased but which you no longer possess will not be unlocked on your account.] copy and paste from feature note.

You’re wrong:)

How does Wardrobe affect my Gem Store purchases?

If any of your characters are wearing or own any piece of an armor set (such as the Profane armor set or the Magitech armor set), all of the remaining pieces will be unlocked in your Wardrobe in addition to any pieces currently on your character or in your inventory.

By “partial skins” they mean 1-item skins like gloves or mantles.

Did you see this line in your copy and paste paragraph?
{ in addition to any pieces currently on your character or in your inventory}

to my understanding, only pieces on your character or in your inventory will be converted. But man, i hope i am wrong.

SkyFallsInThunder.8257:

You can dual wield swords for condi build. And come 15th you will only need to make 1 Infinite Light and apply the skin to another sword.

Have fun farming the 25o Charged Lodestones/the ~700g you need for them. The sword is shiny shiny, but kitten expensive…

Dual wield =/= operate with both hand, that’s the main issue after all.

Other than infinite light, there are non 1hand sword looks good actually.

Kymswarden / Ebonblade or Cobalt / Aureate Highlander Sword looks much cooler cost-wise

You will get all skins from gemstore skin sets back on April 15 as long as you have at least 1 skin from the set.

My turn:
My biggest mistake is joined a friend story in victory or death after we defeated the story arah. While i am waiting for the final ending movie which i will be walking out with the destiny edge…. the cut scene was being skipped by my friend because he is in a hurry.

This ending movie is never able to be watched with my main character again…

not even a support ticket can help.

This is a GW2 flaw, how can someone skip MY MOIVE!!!!

Still crying every night.

Pwnzor.5682:

sweet, templars one of my favorite knights i know But its called 2 handed sword, but its only 48 inches long thats a 1.2 meters isnt it a longsword then?

And the fighting technique with a 2 handed sword is it the complete same tike a longsword?
I’m going to buy me a book of longsword lessons

I am quite positive that the dream sword of your in GW2 is a slim greatsword.

Most 1h sword in GW2 either look knife shape or evil, i can’t find any 1h sword looks as good as this templar sword imo. The only 1h sword looks good to me is infinity light… forget it already =P

thehipone.6812:

I made Frostfang yesterday. I say this not to brag, but provide context. The last thing that I needed was the precursor and yesterday my buy order got filled and I was like “Yeah! My order got filled!”. Then I thought about it a little more…and how sad this was. It wasn’t like any other game where it was like “Oh yeah! Sweet drop!” The loot/precursor system is so bad that any excitement is tied to a transactional purchase. No storybook, no epic quest, no real difficulty other than staving off boredom. I guess I “earned” it by grinding out 500+ gold, but it was a bit of a letdown the more I thought about it.

Nice job, my Sunrise still 2 months to go for gaining enough T6 mat, and it will delay with the T6 cost rocketing day by day.

There are apparently a lot different size of sword:

Short sword
Sword
Long sword
Claymore

Short sword / Sword = 1h sword
Long sword = 1h/2h sword depends on user
Claymore = 2h greatsword

The designs of 1h sword in GW2 is a combination of sword and long sword, some 1h sword skin like AC sword is definitely a long sword which can be used by either 1 hand or 2 hands.

Dark Catalyst.1028:

It’s not about being bitter or jealous. A lot of us thought we’d have to do an amazingly difficult questline which would take us all across Tyria in addition to having to defeat really difficult enemies. You know, you do something legendary to get a legendary weapon.

Instead, we get a “Shopping at the TP” quest.

It is a nice suggestion and it should belong to new legendary set in the future. Besides hardcore content legendary, Anet should provide more “Legendary Set” for different game mode, WvW legendary, PvP legendary, Dungeon legendary and current set “Luck / Cost legendary”

Did you see Aragon use both hand on his 1h sword? I have seen quite a few of this scene, so it is no reason it can’t be used with both hand, especially when the off hand is free. I want to use 1h sword in GW2 with both hand actually.

Another example is using Katana, its normal usage is both hand, unless dual weird…

I will say greatsword feel more like long sword. Skin-wise, sword is more like long sword but, in real, a long sword is more likely to be used more effectively with both hand. I prefer using a long sword with both hand to increase the speed and power so i will go for greatsword with a more compact design (human Tier 2 GS is a very good choice)

Saulius.8430:

aarrgghhh.6309:

But the amount of time, energy, and gold one potentially has to invest in getting just a chance at a precursor

i find this part disturbing

invest in getting chance

invest into chance

what does that even mean?

is it like trying to get ferrari , by blowing out all the hard earned money in kazino?

no no, to get ferrari you save, build up passive income, and get it LATER

This^

gambling is not the answer, someone may get luck and most player don’t.

I can accept that with my pace and play style, my chance in buying a precursor off TP is 0. I actually envy any player that able to invest 3x more time to play… yes i got a drop of desired precursor, but once i finished this legendary, my chance of making another one remains 0 unless i got another lucky drop and another 10 months of game play.

Caedmon.6798:

ProtoGunner.4953:

It’s a LEGENDARY. It’s a VANITY item, you don’t need it. They aren’t supposed to be an easy task.

True,but for some people that arnt able to play hours in a row each day,its a near impossible task to be completing.I dont care much about legendary’s myself,neither will i ever go for one eventhough i possibly could..I just really think the money and time invested to make one isn’t worth the effort.

Yes, it is almost impossible to me too, i am close to finish my Sunrise, but still 2~3 months to go, just for the insane T6 cost. Especially someone like me, can’t afford to play everyday, and 1 hour game play top. If i am not being lucky and looted a precursor, i won’t even border with legendary.

JCROY.5730:

Just for my info..why is having a legendary so important? Is it just the achievement? Is it the changeable stats? The looks?
As for the upper reasons, speaking for myself:
Achievement: I couldn’t care less
Changeable stats: Great…since it most of the time players choose to have assassin or berserker..and does it really hit that much harder then ascended/exotic?
Looks: I have greenies with better looks then the legendaries..but thats a matter of taste

So again..why is this so important?

I am actually wanna ask the same question, what is the needs for a legendary. I know I was lucky and i got a precursor, but so what? I don’t give a rat kitten for legendary since day one. I am fine whether i made a legendary or not, i may be lucky so i got the chance to kick off my legendary journey but i am perfectly fine if i never got the chance.

The game provided multiple ways to obtain precursor, well, to me, any of the existing method is not worthy of the time we invested. It is designed so someone get luck with loot, they can either make a legendary or sell for wealth. Someone get a lot of gold to spend, they can mystic toilet to get, it is gambling, a huge gold sink for someone who got plenty of time to play. You can buy off from TP, for someone whose not gambling type and got hardcore game time.

If i didn’t get a loot, i tell you, i can never make a legendery, EVER. For the time i’ve been playing GW2, the gold i’ve gain, i am never ever able to buy off a precursor from TP. I can never ever think of using the mystic toilet to flush a precursor out, i cannot afford the risk. Think about how many players actually not able to even try mystic toilet, nor buy off from TP, and no luck? There are many players actually wasted their gold in toilet and refuse to buy one off TP, it is some kind of joke.

Yes, for someone played thousands of hours, they deserved a precursor either from loot or from TP. For those wasted thousands of gold with no luck, however, should blame themselves for even gamble in the first place.

its been 7 months since i got my dawn as loot and i’ve made my mind on the sunrise road. Still 2 months + to go for the T6 materials. I haven’t grind anything, i slowly gather laurens for T6 materials, some dungeon run for extra gold and place order for T6. I loop around short and easy events to gather karma.

Sometimes i question myself if it’s worth it for the time invested, No actually, it ain’t worth the effort. Since i’ve made 77 clovers, there is no turning back for me.

Just make a reborn orb, reset lv and personal story. Keep all gear and character name, its perfectly fine to me. All i want is the same character with a race change, keep the name and kama gears…

No – you would have to reset to lvl 1 and go from there. I don’t think any player would want that. Also, your gear, you accumulated, would have to be gone.

For what you’ve said, all gear gone, level reset to 1, why need a race change item?

Just del and make a new toon is easier.

What i mean is reset lv to 1, and reset personal story. But keep the gear. You can’t use it unless you level up your character to lv80 again, You can’t use it if it is cultural armor , you can’t use it if your changed your weight class. i don’t see a problem here. Especially with the new wardrobe system, you kept your skin already. If you get every gear to ascend level, you keep your gear as well. So with a lv and personal story reset and keep the name and gear, whats the matter at all?

Just make a reborn orb, reset lv and personal story. Keep all gear and character name, its perfectly fine to me. All i want is the same character with a race change, keep the name and kama gears…

I wish there was a lot more female armor in the game that wasn’t skimpy, with unnecessary boob windows here and there (looking at you, heavy Whispers armor that I would love to wear on my guardian, but that boob window … I just can’t). Alternatively, at least introduce undershirts to the game. This would fix a lot of the skin-showing problems already.

Secondly, please, please, please, more feminine armor for female Asura (and Charr). Not skimpy, not sexy. Feminine, girly, frilly and fun. The prettiest my Asura can look is when she’s wearing her Wintersday dress, because that’s pretty much the only item where the Asura girls can get to wear the female version. And it’s beautiful. Please, please, more of that.

I also really don’t understand why in many cases the male and female armor look like completely different armor sets. Isn’t that actually more work for the designers? Just keep the armor very closely together in terms of looks and theme. Making them look very different is just creating lots of problems and making players unhappy. I bet almost everyone with a male (or fem Asura / Charr) character was super disappointed when they saw the “male version” of the Phoenix armor in the gem store. That armor really shouldn’t even have that name, there is nothing phoenix-like about it. Why couldn’t the males get feathers too? Why did they get a completely different, pretty much universally deemed inferior design?

Same with the Phalanx armor. One could argue that both the male version and the female version look good in their own way, but they look nothing alike. Just release them as different sets, with male and female versions of both sets. That way female characters could also wear the kitten looking “male” phalanx set, and male characters along with female Asura and Charr could also wear a battle-dress. Win-win.

While i don’t agree a rework on existing armor because there are actually enough non revealing female armor. I do however, agree that for future armor design, male and female version should make consisant. At the moment some armor skin are designed with a specific gender in mind, then roughly make an ugly version for another gender.

For example i personally like revealing female armor but phalanx female armor is very ugly.

Yes, unfortunately, i did the same without being able to preview all parts when choosing. Its name is very true, ugly as hell, especially the helmet.

For example I wanna buy an item for a large amount at 39c, but the lowest selling price is 55c, then if i place 1 of that item at 40c on TP, all the sellers will find that selling 39c is better then they will sell their item at 39c to my highest buying price very quick.

Auto decline is not enough.

It has to be a toggle option, that u toggle it to show “you accept duel” before anyone can send u a duel request. So players don’t wanna duel is by default with the “wanna duel” function set as off.

Secondly, it has to be toggle option to see other player dueling or not. For me, i don’t want to see other player duel, just want to play my pve game peacefully.

Thirdly, dueling should be treat as PvP, keep the skin, use PvP gear and build instead. The reason behind this is the game is extremely different between PvP and PvE. Build-wise, I may like to have high support build for dungeon but I may prefer condition build for PvP. It will be a disadvantage when someone build for 1vs1 asking for a duel when the other player is with the group support gear and build. The result may also create a lot of class balancing issue that is unnecessary.

The ratio between revealing armor to fully covered armor is about 1:3 in GW2, pls go to PvP locker and see for yourself, or browse any GW2 armor gallery.

Problem is we saw a lot of player with revealing armor running around, because players love it. Even if Anet decided to release fully covered armor for the next 4, 5, 6, 7 updates, people don’t buy it from gem store, they will just use the revealing armor instead. Its your choice to use non revealing armor, there are plenty in game already. Why don’t Anet sell caster robe in gem store? Because the sales volume is a lot lower.

i support this idea, but i may suggest, combine an ascended weapon, with 3 special ascended materials to forge a precursor. And this precursor should be used to forge a new set of legendary (new skins), not the current existing one.

Life is not fair, never.

Somebody get rich, somebody don’t, somebody work 14 hours per day, somebody won the lottery, somebody born in a rich family etc.

My girl friend got 2 uncles both is a billionaire, but her family is just as common as everybody. Whom to blame? Nobody. Trust me, we have been discussed this kind of “unfair” situation countless of time.

Everyone played this game, somebody got luck, they got so many good item, and somebody got nothing. This is life, and i believe luck does matter but it is not inside our account.

Compare to all of you, I maybe lucky, i loot my precursor. If i compare myself to those “luckiest” player you guy mentioned above, and i am not that lucky either. If i try my luck and go mystic toilet, trust me, i could lose more gold than my luck allow me to gain.

I never set a goal in making legendary, therefore i am happy no matter i loot a precursor or not. If luck is on my side, bravo! I just happily craft my legendary, if i am out of luck, no precursor then i will make an ascended weapon, either is fine to me.

For kama gear, its good to throw forge and ger a non soul bound exotic gear either for sell or use.

Try placing yourself in my shoes.

The highest tier item I have ever got to drop (note: drop, not map completion or other auto rewards) is rare. And not even max level either. I think the highest level rare I ever got was level 74. And I’ve had maybe 2-3 of them drop ever in my entire play time of GW2 (been here since early access and beta as well).

I’ve never had an exotic drop, much less a precursor. Never get the rare mats, or ascended stuff from fractals. Never get the lucky rare dyes or rare mini pets from gambling with those either. Black Lion Chests always give me the worst possible loot you can get (boosters and some essences of luck). Even when I’m out and about in the world leveling an alt, I mostly get nothing but junk. It is rare that I even get a blue item, much less a green item. You can forget rares or exotics, or even the illusive precursors.

When it comes to luck in this game, I have negative. There was actually a bug a long time ago that flagged accounts to have basically a zero drop rate on everything. Supposedly they fixed that bug, but honestly, it feels like my account is still flagged. So yeah, forget precursors. It’s just never gonna happen. The RNG in GW2 is the worst I have ever experienced in any game.

Thats right if you don’t trust your luck then don’t gamble for any, if legendary to you mean anything just save your money and buy one.

I understand your situation as whatever game i’ve played i have been in same case too. Its GW2 i’ve better luck. But i’ve been adapted to these so called worst case, i am okay i got a precursor or not. I am even being black luck to become one of the minority that encountered connection iusses that i lost my character and all item after hundreds of hours gameplay and not recoverable in one of my all time favor online RPG.

So take it easy.

I got my dawn legendarily from a lv60 shark loot, it was looted by that paticular character i want HIM to weird sunrise also. So yes it could be loot from any mob.
