Guild Wars 2

Well, not everyone likes that particle effect.

How can’t you understand a couple of things?

Because the topic at hand, to which I was a part of, had nothing to do with these skins but with buying Legendaries, which, has always been possible.

Personally I’m just peeved that I spent 120g on a skin when I could have got it for half the price today.

But in that case you would have missed an achievement.

AndrewSX.3794:

That said: either all or none.

You pushed out a T3 Light Human reskin for all races?
Fine.

Now please, reskin the rest of T123 HeavyMediumLight CharrAsuraNornSylvariHuman cultural sets.

I’m waiting.

I wouldn’t complain if they did that.

Saw them at the PvP lockers. A preview of what’s to come for Wintersday? Something similar to Dwayna vs Grenth perhaps?

As for the ability to change the colour of spells and abilities, I had suggested something alike some time ago: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Gem-store-Class-Visual-Effects-Color-Sets/first#post2915449

Caosaur.3871:

Wow, I never post on the forums but this is straight up disgusting. If I knew this skin was going in I would have never wasted my gold on it.

Gem store armor sets do not count towards achievements though, so you still have an use for them culturals.

ophidic.1279:

I’m cool buying it with gems and that too, but it should have stayed exclusive and non-gemmed.

I mean what if I can just go to the store and buy Arah armor with pocket change? People that ran the dungeon for it would be pretty mad I bet.

I couldn’t care less, to be honest. But maybe it’s just me.

I wouldn’t mind if every cultural armor set had a differently skinned counterpart available to all races, actually I encourage this.
They’re the same models with different skins. Try looking at them as if they were of different brands, like a normal jacket and an Armani jacket.

Have you touched them?

Can we please get a teleporter to the top ofthe tower at least for those who have killed the hybrid already? Since the third floor is now about empty and it’s nearly impossilbe to get through it alone.

It would mean another reset… or the unification of all characters’ ranks into one account bar, a bit how it happened with the wallet.
This is however unlikely to happen because of rank points given to learn WvW traits.

Penguin.7906:

I don’t understand why they couldn’t make existing fractal weapons tradable to some npc, so you could get them as weapon skins instead. Just as they did with unbreakable harvesting tools.

That is exactly what I was thinking. It shouldn’t be an hard task for developers to compile such vendor NPC.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Spoiler: there was always a rare chance to get them in the 10-20ish. The only change we made was to make them skins so you can apply them without spending a transmutation stone.

Are existing untransmuted fractal weapons going to be NPC-tradable to their skin version?

To fix that they could simply have a “Fractal weapon box” drop from which you can choose which skin to get instead of a random chance at every weapon type.

32.5% is not low, imho. There are stuff like Ascended weapon boxes that have much much lower odds of dropping.

It’s not like they’re taking away your earned rewards. Since the whole fractal system is being revised it was logical there’d be a level reset.

Hello there. I have a request.
It’s Jodie’s Suite from the game Beyond: Two Souls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D25KtIKxcwA

If anyone’s willing to translate it to GW2 flute tabs I’d very much appreciate it. Even just the main melody would be alright.

Hard? No, they are jsut extremely boring to make. Grind, grind, craft, craft…
Even making Relic weapons in FFXI was more fun than this, and believe me, it was tedious.
I wish they’d require challenge, not stupid time sinks.

Hermes.7014:

Somehow, I perceive this as “please, make us grind more”.

I’m curious how this can be perceived as asking for a grind? I’m asking for class specific armor….. rather than just Heavy medium or light… that has nothing to do with obtaining, grinding or crafting at all. It simply means: Engineer armor, Warrior armor, Necro armor, Mesmer armor etc…… looks built for specific classes… I think you misunderstood my post.

Sorry then, I think it was just because of the term “LEGENDARY”.

Somehow, I perceive this as “please, make us grind more”.

Unbreakable Transmutation Crystal (unlimited usages transmutation) for 800 gems.

Upgrade Removal Kit (extract a rune/sigil/infusion without breaking the attached weapon/armor) for 300 gems per sets of five.

We have many tonics that turn our characters into common monsters but how about tonics that turn them into the boss enemies?
Actually there are only two so far, the Aetherized Tonic and the Molten Berserker.
But how about all the rest? Wouldn’t it be cool, for instance, to turn into a downscaled Tequatl or the Statue of Dwayna complete with exclusive costume brawl skills? All by adding these tonics to their daily chests loot tables.

I’m going to put my bet on the Thaumanova fractal.

I too am a bit displeased with the regular battle music, it just sounds too generic to me. That is why I have a custom playlist with tracks I find more fitting.

My Norn female warrior underwent a few changes, featuring a more aggressive play style. Story-wise, she found and began to wield an axe which belonged to a champion of Jormag and the weapon’s influence ended corrupting her.
So now she wears armor and colours inspired to Icebrood corruption, somewhat reminiscent to Sons of Svanir armor.
I made it so that the corruption coming from her axe appears as it has spreaded to her whole right arm, while the left arm still lies uncorrupted.

And once the character is dead, Arenanet could kidnap the players and take them to a real game of Southsun Survival on an uncharted island, and then the winner has their character revived!

I thought it was just my impression but I have the feeling that everything inside the tower is stronger than usual. Veterans seem more like normal Elites, and Elites near the power of regular Champions and Champions are almost as tough as Legendary.

Are you sure there wasn’t a group event or a Scarlet’s minions invasion going on when it happened?

Humans and their obsession with sex.

I’ve met Forgal, Caithe and Logan so far. Also the Molten Brawler a few times.

Inquest allied with Aetherblades after dragon bash, although it didnt’seem to last much. Flame Legion allied with Dredge and Krait allied with Nightmare Court.
So factions left are Sons of Svanir, Centaurs, Bandits, Separatists and Ascalonian Ghosts. I can picture Sons of Svanir allying with Centaurs, or Bandits going along with Separatists. Not sure if Ghosts would even consider it.

Dragon minions aren’t going to join any alliance, so count out Icebrood, Risen, Destroyers and Branded.

Perhaps it’s because of my experience with Lineage II, but the tower reminded me of the Tower of Insolence. Although ToI was much higher, with 100 floors and raid bosses here and there and Baium on the top.

It seems like this track now plays every time you die. Way better now, I must say.

I’m still playing after more than an year and the only things that bother me much are those silly RNG tickets for skins.

Everything else is about the playerbase, not the game itself. Alot of people just want to mold the game to their own preferences, mostly of difficulty, ignoring those of other players, while the game should be fit for everyone.

There are music production companies specialized in trailers such as Immediate Music and Two Steps from Hell. They make some of the best trailer music around and sincerely I believe they’d do alot better.

For this one, personally I’d go for something with a more serious and slower paced sound, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiST_CY8Zo4

Now my tastes in music might have influenced my opinion, but I have to agree the music is pretty unfitting.

400 gems for a single equipment piece skin? They should have been 150 or at least 200. Definitely a no buy, Arenanet, you seem to be swimming against the tide here.

I feel like the incoming nerf on Thief’s initiative regeneration is going to damage furtherly any possible of the already damaged Pistol/Pistol builds. After this, thieves will abandon P/P completely even in PvE.

I have too suggested something alike: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Allow-us-to-buy-single-pieces-of-skin-sets/first#post3122990

I’f I’m interested just in the shirt, why should I buy the pants and shoes that go along?

Havvy.4897:

Really, the champ farming was driving up the prices of gems, making it so that those who don’t farm look at a steadily increasing price over the past few months. Look at this chart:

http://www.gw2spidy.com/gem

Zoom it out to see the price for all time. Notice how for most of the game, 100 gems was steady over time, with a couple bump ups. And now the price is raising in a linear fashion.

When you get 8gp/hr doing something boring and skilless, but doing something fun that requires skill gets you not even 10% of that, those who are looking to have some fun are forced to ignore the gem store completely, because each day they are making comparatively less gems.

I want gold to actually be worth something…and having less of it enter the system is a way to make that work.

Woah, that’s definitely not right. Whatever happened in July started it.

Redenaz.8631:

While I won’t argue that giving each legendary weapon a unique quest line would be interesting, it would also lock a large amount of fun content behind “Can you afford <precursor>?” which seems like a terrible waste of resources. It’s a nice idea in isolation, but there are better things that development time could be put toward.

The price of precursors though is probably going to drop significantly once they become craftable, as Arenanet has planned.

Dear Arenanet, it is time to admit there is many people who doesn’t like crafting at all, no matter how easy it could seem, it is just boring to certain individuals. And as things are right now, in order to make a Legendary weapon you can either grind items to craft one or buy it off the TP for a ludicrous amount of gold.
But, there might be an additional way players could go without resorting to crafting and gold grinding, which is quests. A staple of the MMORPG genre.

Beware though, this is far from making things easier. It’s just about adding a skill factor path in the making of a legendary, to grant the players a sense of accomplishment through own trial, and for those who prefer the battlefield to the crafting station and the trading post.

Imagine a line of quests which you must complete in order to gain your legendary weapon, much like the personal storyline.

The starter quest could become available by trading to an NPC a specific precursor weapon, each having its path of missions (Type of enemies and environments involved in the quests would be related to weapons. For instance, the Kraitkin would follow an underwater story with the Krait as main enemy, while the Frostfang may follow a path that involves the Icebrood and lands of the north).
As the player proceeds through the events of the storyline, he/she faces various instanced situations such as challenging battles in dungeons and against bosses, fractal missions, but also fetching particular key items (such as a Fang of the Claw of Jormag for the Frostfang, for instance) required to complete the weapon.
Once the story has been completed, the player is finally awarded with the preselected legendary weapon.

And that’s it, fair and square for all types of players. How does it seem?

Unless your connection is really that bad, every update shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes. The minor patches coming after end in a matter of minutes or even seconds.

I think Hermes means November 11th.

Haha yeah, sorry, I was sleepy.

Made a similar suggestion just yesterday: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Allow-us-to-buy-single-pieces-of-skin-sets/first#post3122990

You have time until November 11th. “Mad King Says” though ends today so it’s best to get that done if you haven’t already.

Participated in two Scarlet invasions today gaining two from the first and one from the second. It’s quite a tedious achievement.

You know guys, things change once in a while, even in fiction.

I wouldn’t mind. Phantasms aren’t like clones, they’re used to attack and not to confuse.
Besides, there’s a skill point event with an enemy mesmer called Vilnia Shadowsong who can summon raven phantasms. Why can’t we do that too?

I can already picture more phantasms, like a Phantasmal Minotaur that uses a charge attack that launches the target.

In the gem store, along the full sets for 800, there could be separated pieces of them going for 150 gems for feet/hands/shoulders each and 200 gems for helmet/body/legs each. It would be ideal for those who like to mix and match their armor.
This way, buying a set through separated pieces in multiple purchases would cost 1050 gems, so it would still be convenient for those interested in the full set altogether in a single purchase for 800.
