Guild Wars 2

Oh god, please don’t respond to Mooncow. He has proven to be quite a troll himself.

Jrunyon.3012:

Fun fact of the day: This easily done by transmuting it to a white, no level piece of gear. This will make the item account bound. Then you simply transmute that item to an appropriately leveled item on the character of your choice. This works for all weapons and all armor.

You’re welcome.

Congratulations, you are now naked, buy new armour to cover yourself again. I hope you didn’t want to keep that “other” look on the receiving character, otherwise you would – again – need to buy another piece of armour!

Only way to reduce this a bit would be to use the splitter to first take the skin off.

Or did I miss something?

Edit: Oops, on topic – I don’t think the original idea would be wise.

The post I was referring to was complaining that there was no way to get a gem store skin on another character without buying it again. He also suggested a feature that would make the skin account bound. I explained to him how he could do that already in the game, he can then dress the original character up in any fashion he chooses.

eisberg.2379:

So yes, please do not respond if you have nothing to back up your position and only have unwarranted rude comments. You did absolutely nothing for this conversation, you added nothing.

It was wrong of me to respond to you that way and I apologize. I have updated my post with my view on the topic.

I love this idea!

sorudo.9054:

at least have an item that changes a item to account bound, it’s so frikin frustrating when i buy a skin from the gem store, apply it on an armor and then wanting to give it to a different character, only to found out that i have to buy 2 new armors and 2 transmutation stones so it can be changed for that character.

I warned you bro..

WXP should not be account bound. As a player who plays 2 characters in WvW, that is my opinion.

Jackal.8263:

What he means to say is this:

“I have more time to play than you, and therefore I can do this silly grind on multiple toons *DANGIT MOM I”M TYPING A FORUM POST*, sorry but I don’t want you to be on my level, unless you’ve done the grind. I did it, and I am super cool, DANGIT MOM I SAID NACHOS, NACHOS!!!!!."

What is this? Seriously, how about you be more mature, or are you actually 5 years old?

eisberg.2379:

So there is no potential revenue loss for Anet.

Edited:

There is plenty of potential loss for Anet. Myself and other have bought multiple instances of a certain skin. Having a system like the achievement skins will make it so that only one skin need ever be purchased by each person. This is revenue loss. I can almost guarantee that the benefit of one time use skins far outweigh the use as many times as you want skin simply because it is the route that Anet has chosen. I am sure they have considered all of the alternatives already, many times over. They also have a resident economist who is obviously very experienced in the field. There may come a time when they see that sales are diminishing, and they may very well implement such an idea, but saying that there is NO potential for revenue loss is just being ignorant.

We would all like something like this but the fact is, it will destroy the markets of many of these items.

I guarantee a lot of people are tired of their old skins (including me), and will jump at the chance to unsoulbind them. This will cause the market to be flooded with these items, and the value of that greatsword of yours will diminish extremely rapidly, as well as all other weapon types.

It’s the best of both worlds for you and I, sure. But what does this do for Anet besides lose them potential revenue?

For the sake of the game; absolutely not.

Jesse.4631:

I would like you guys to reconsider the change to Infiltrator’s Return. Thieves survivability outside of stealth isn’t that great. We are one of the squishiest classes’ in the game and rely on our dodges and other mobile skills (Infiltrators) to keep us alive vs heavy cc or AoE classes. I may even argue that we’re squishier then Elementalist, while they do have the lowest health pool exactly to thieves and the lowest armor in game they have 7 direct accesses to protection a 33% damage reduction. Thieves have non.

If your argument is that having a built in stun breaker into our weapon sets is bad for the game i’d like to argue that we are not the only class with weapon skills such as these. Mesmer’s have two weapon sets with similar abilities to blink away or break the stun all together “Phase Retreat”(10 sec cd) on staff or “Swap” (12 sec cd) on main hand sword. Both of which can be traited for a quicker “built in stun break”.

This change will greatly effect the play style of the weapon set and lead to less build diversity. More people will flock to builds with greater utility and damage such as Dagger Pistol.

I hope you will reconsider the change, thank you for you time.

Agreed completely, and it is not often I would agree with a [Yarr]

Please reconsider the Sword changes, they really will hurt.

Inc Zommoros rage in 3.. 2.. 1..

No thanks. It’s already way too easy for zerglings to get easy WXP.

Unfortunately, you’re part of a small minority of players.

Also, if you find yourself worrying about living story stuff or reading patch notes, just don’t. Have fun and do what you want to do and if you have time, give Dulfy a little look over, or don’t.

You’re not missing out on anything by not getting that moderately cool backpack skin that will just be replaced by another one in the next few weeks.

Maximus Delion.8719:

They need to look at the appearance system used by The Lord of the Rings Online. You have an account-wide wardrobe which will store the appearance of any item (just the appearance, not the stats). Each character has multiple appearance sets on his character sheet where you can copy the appearance of any item from your wardrobe (or directly from your inventory). Your character can switch between appearances freely. You start with three sets (actual armor, plus two other appearance sets), and the true fashion divas can purchase more. You can also purchase wardrobe expansions to add more item slots there.

Yeah, and then they can start charging us to get to certain areas and content so that they can support the game. Also, who cares about the in game economy right? Just throw it out the window in one shot.

No.

As an ex-s/p thief I have noticed your posts after recent patches. They are 100% spot on.

RedSpectrum.1975:

And how is DD cheese but not DP? DP can stealth, whenever it wants, gap close, interrupt, blind.

Never did I say d/p wasn’t cheese as well. I welcome the fall of that particular perma-stealth playstyle.

This thread is about s/x and the nerfs that seem to always be directed at it.

Is the reason for the cast time on inf return. Seriously. Is it just to make us annoyed every time we use it?

First you take out the stunbreak functionality, now there’s a cast time. I feel really bad for s/p thieves, which i was playing recently until I realized there’s no hope left for it.

Really Anet, you should be promoting different builds rather than continuing to promote the d/d backstab cheese that i refuse to sink to.

Artemis.4058:

Also, I’m not looking to buy a bunny backpack.

Bunny? Do you think this is some kind of game!?

thhoj.9382:

So what I’m understanding is that my guildie here is using an ac to attack a veteran guard. Pretty sure that is not an exploit so I personally could care less.

Your guildie was attacking your own guard for the duration that I was there, before I was there and until presumably, the tower was flipped. Call it whatever you want, that’s fishy and thus he was reported by me and several others, including a few from your server. Hopefully one day your guildie isn’t able to log in again.

thhoj.9382:

Jrunyon.3012:

Pretty despicable behavior from this dude with the AC macro’d to attack the vet guard all day. If someone from [ART] wants to pm me, I have this guys in game name if you would like to pursue the issue. I wouldn’t let someone tarnish my guilds reputation like this.

Yea that [ART] guild….. Full of baddies.

Meh, guess you guys condone it? That’s cool too.

And have them teleport around even more? Just make them run at the same speed as the player at all times, or just a flat 33% increase if they’re too lazy to code it in.

I don’t know why this wasn’t put in to the game during development.

Skan.5301:

Oh yeah. I meant to add on a server that wasn’t running the Queensdale Champ farm. Outliers. Oh well. Guess you proved me wrong.

It’s not a problem with the game that people would rather run in a circle then to run around the zone fighting skales, that’s a people problem. That said, I am always running around Queensdale fighting things and helping new players since it’s my favorite zone in the game.

Skan.5301:

DusK.3849:

I honestly find it difficult to believe you’re a “twelve year MMO vet” when you’re saying stuff like “I rarely see anyone in the zones I am adventuring in”, as if that same problem doesn’t exist with just about every MMORPG out there.

He said he just started. Even on other MMOs, there are people who are working on alts and in the starter zones. Humans are popular on GW2, right? On another game I cannot mention due to previous infractions, I always saw people in the Human starter area.

Last time I checked, Queensdale on my server had a massive population almost all the time doing champion farming. This is coming from one of the most underpopulated servers in the game btw.

Please give me a drumset o.o
If they make it so that there’s no cooldown on notes, AND you can play notes simultaneously, I will pay any amount of money. ANY.

Lord Galwrath.9302:

Isn’t it funny how the forums are a vocal minority yet they only ever post stuff like this on the forums?

I don’t understand what you want. Would you like them to post in big letters on your screen in game everytime someone at Anet headquarters uses the bathroom?

It’s a shame they can’t just relay info straight in to your mind or something right? Sheesh.

[OHai] ninja crew does it again.

ShadowMaster.5708:

Lets say only 5 people show up (Which DOES happen early at the morning on low pop servers) Tequatl is impossible. It doesn’t matter if it scales, because you NEED the cannons.

If you only have 5 people there, then you can’t kill it. It’s as simple as that.

If there aren’t enough people, you can’t kill it. If the people there aren’t organized, you can’t kill it. If everyone wants to walk up to Teq and autoattack, then wait for a res, you won’t kill it.

I fail to see the problem here.

No. /15characters

Make them sellable. I have 2 endless beast tonics (dat rng) and I’d love to sell it and buy the furniture one or something.

Axisovevil.4617:

Probably also another way of saying, if you want to duel, or PVP, make use of the Mists.

So basically what you’re saying is, WvW is not meant for PvP, it is only meant for PvD and dat PPT, running along at 4fps in 40+ numbers so that the big meanies on the other team can’t hurt you and make you cry?

Axisovevil.4617:

not so called “true server warriors” (whatever the hell that means), who zerg in their own self-interest.

Fixed that for you, oh the irony.

Daishi.6027:

If so I want GW2 parody lyrics! Or atleast a GW2 themed kittentail.

You won’t be getting any of my tail.

Yes please and thank you.

JustTrogdor.7892:

No. I want to play with people on my server. That is why I am there.

^This, and not to mention it will make guild missions a disaster. It’s hard enough sometimes to coordinate a bunch of people to one place, could you imagine if they were kicked off to another overflow?

Yes Anet, Please fix

Treborlavok.3504:

I like the idea, by why not go a little farther…

Make WvW and PvP alike, but… Using the PvP armor and weapon purchase systems and traiting systems.

- Upon entering WvW or PvP for the first time, youre prompted to see an armor and weaponsmith to purchase armor/trinkets and weapons.

- Every class has the option to buy their professions armor tier(light, medium, heavy) with max level 80 BASE armor rating for your tier(light, medium, heavy). The same goes for weapons and level 80 BASE weapon dmg.

No. That is the worst idea ever. There is a reason that SPvP is almost completely dead.

If they ever kill build customization like they did for SPvP, I will never step in to WvW again.

So all of you people that complain about ascended in wvw, you don’t kill up levels right? I mean, that would be just hypocritical. You also make sure to party your enemy and make sure they’re wearing the appropriate gear so that you’re both on an even level right? Do you at least make sure to ask them how many hours they have been playing and their estimated skill level?

Wait, you don’t do this?

Then stop complaining.

SnowHawk.3615:

if you want a permanent L hammer then just make the Mjolnir

One does not simply make Mjolnir, especially not a new player :p

Lol people still think that gear matters in ZergvsZergvsZerg?

Thank you for the quick answer. I suppose coupled with the 20 levels scroll it’s not so bad. Just have to wait until the prices come down.

I heard that you now need to get to the full 500 to get all 10 levels. Is this true? How many levels do you get for getting to 400?

Thanks.

Here ya go, it’s worth a look through.

There is way too much new things to fit in a post, you missed quite a bit. I believe there is a page somewhere on the site that lists all of the new content, and there is always the wiki as well. Ascended gear is still in place (though if you left because of that, you may find that you over-reacted as it is not necessary at all) and there is a new celestial gear, which is an all stat combo that IMO only works for very few builds.

Groups for dungeons are most easily found at gw2lfg.com, and an in game lfg tool is on it’s way. Finding dungeon groups in game is not that hard either.

I am not familiar with any build sites however the class forums are always full of helpful tips (and complaints, lots of complaints).

Anyways, welcome back.

I am grateful that I was given something nice for free for doing absolutely nothing at all. Thanks Anet!

nyckolag.2394:

:( Legendary Defenders simply have no idea how to have fun. Perhaps you should have put the box next to them, to lighten up the mood?

We don’t need to hang out at your house anyways

ET Defenders were much nicer, and they served cookies over there.

I’m not seeing the problem with your teammates getting points. I thought the point of sPvP was to deny your opponents of points?

This must be your first MMO. This is simply the way the genre works. We pay money to the publisher and the developers are given more of a budget to bring us new content and features. Intentionally shooting themselves and their profits in the foot is not something NCsoft will allow Anet to do, so this is the way it must be.

Honestly, I’m just grateful that it’s only optional weapon skins, they could have overpowered stat boosters hidden behind RNG.

GSSBlunaspike.4153:

ing is “I’m really angry because I don’t feel they should express their opinion because it’s contradictory to mine”. Yeah, it’s certainly the “youth” that have the problem here.

Lmao, really angry? Come on man, where did you get that from my post? Also, is there some reason you feel the need to stand up for this troll that probably hasn’t had a positive post since he started playing this game? I am NOT attacking all youth, I do not know why you are dissecting my post like that is what I said.
