Me & a friend returning from a break..

No, you both get your rewards, but you have to make sure you are both at the same story step. Sometimes it can happen that one of you has not talked to the last NPC or read their mail and thus hasn’t progressed to the same “story step”. In that case it won’t count for that player.

So yes, play together, but keep an eye on your objectives to make sure they are the same.

If you could choose 2 additional legends?

Posted by: Evans.6347

Viktor was a warrior though. It’s not because the Kurzick use his ashes as relic, that he had anything to do with it.

It’s still part of his legacy and would be irreplaceable in his kit.

Or do you mean to suggest that Jalis could make roads out of nothing and summon flying hammers. Hell, even the Rite of the Great Dwarf doesn’t stem from his natural talents – it’s merely a part of his legacy and his ultimate choice.

Jalis was nothing more than a generic warrior mechanically. Ventari didn’t even fight. The goal of a legend’s kit is to build a theme around that character, not to directly port their former abilities.

And why is this? It’s because a legend isn’t just a person. It evolves with their lives and expands with their deaths as their stories are told.

The fact remains that we know a lot about Jalis and Ventari, but nothing about Viktor and Archemorus, other than that they were heroes to their people and both stabbed Shiro with one of his blades. There is little lore-wise to work with.

I hope you don’t mind me saying, but your question is a bit of a silly one.
Who are we to tell you what you should be enjoying? You should know what you enjoy playing most, and make it work.

If you enjoy Necromance most, then play Necromancer. Don’t force yourself into something you don’t enjoy because of other’s opinions.

Please Make Some AB Items Avail to All Toons

I also think they should have had it the unlimited use hatchets have been the thing to drop those things from the trees and not just any old tools, those things that people farm in Malchors leap, I forget what they are called.

Can’t do, cause that would be P2W. They could make some have an additional chance to drop Foxfire clusters, but not make it exclusive to gem store items.

The watchwork pick is still an anomality. How do they expect anyone to use other picks, if one clearly gives a large advantage over the others?

How do you get these "nice" weapons?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

‘Fiery’ weapons you ask?

There’s a sword skin from the hall of monuments (requires a link with Guild Wars (1)):
Fiery Dragon Sword
There’s also a blue version which you can make in the Mystic Forge:
Jormag’s Breath
Then there’s a fiery greatsword which can drop from champion bags:
Cobalt
At one point you could get the skins from Fused weapons from Black lion tickets. They are currently retired:
Fused weapon skins
The dungeon version you can get from the Citadel of Flame is:
Molten Weapons
Then there’s the legendary dagger Incinerator:
Incinerator

Those are some I can think of immediately.

TL;DR
‘Nice’ Weapons can come from:
Rare drops from bosses or champion bags;
Dungeon tokens reward;
Gem store skins;
Mystic Forge recipes.

And the “All Things Have a Right to Grow” one doesn’t seem like it’d hold any lasting influence since the Zalisco Extract possibilities was never seen in the Zhaitan plot.

Well no, they weren’t. But at the very least this story line introduced the concept of Sylvari twins, born from the same pod. Could be lovely RP’ing material.

It’s not the berserking aspect I find difficult, it’s the sudden and temporary giantism it causes. Considering Engineers trigger this state by ingesting some sort of elixir, I assume Warriors do it magically.

Malyck and HoT

That sounds very unlikely to me. Obviously Caithe’s secret is out of the bag now, ending LS2. But the thing is, knowing what they knew back then, why on earth didn’t they send a squad of wardens along with him, to verify the location and nature of the other tree.

It might even not have been to late to get some sort of control over them.

What's in store for the C-iconics?

in Living World

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

On the topic of Canach, the end cinematic shows him being attacked by what I assume to be Seraph (distinct Seraph sword in the scene) while protecting some sort of building. So I assume this is in Divinity’s Reach. He’s likely reporting to Anise when the great conversion happens, but does not seem affected. Then again, Canach does seem to have great willpower.

Either way, he’ll probably team up with us as staying in any major city would be very difficult for any Sylvari by then.

You can unlock everything your profession has to offer at level 80 and there is really no reason not to do so.

Whenever you ‘level’ past lv80, you will now receive a spirit shard, which can be used at the Mystic Forge to buy materials. Pretty much like your excess skill points were before.
You will find your spirit shards in your wallet.

Come to think about it, why did Caithe or the Pale Tree let him go back anyway. If both knew that the Sylvari, as a race, were dragon minions all along, and Malyck confirmed he had no dream, then they basically let him go back to tell the dragon all about their location and organisation.

How to Improve Revenants ideas

in Revenant

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

My partner was discussing this with me this weekend and had a good idea imo.
Allow the Revenant a utility bar by not being attuned to a legend. This should of course mean that the legends themselves should provide some sort of bonus while being channeled, otherwise there is little incentive to lock your utility to that legend.

Loot on downscaling

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Evans.6347

Evans.6347

It would be a cool idea to make the lvl of loot items to follow the downscaling lvl instead of the actual lvl. Only problem would be doing world bosses but maybe they can be flagged to drop the real lvl loot.

Example if I go to a lvl 30 place as lvl 80 I would get lvl 30 loot.

Anet what you think of that?

This is exactly why those bags of masterwork items are a fantastic thing. Open those puppies with low level characters to get low level items to salvage, if you so desire.

You should actually calculate the amount of ascended materials you will need, and consider that you can only craft one of each a day yourself. So unless you’re going to buy the mats, I think they will be the bigger time gate in your plans.
