Guild Wars 2

Ooo .. Mistwalker now there is an appropriate name !! Kudos to Algreg !!

At least I know now what title my Revenant can wear, Legend of the Mists. (Guild Wars 1 HoM title track). There’s also Ghostly Hero as a possibility.

I’ve seen these underground bots before. They will often be “dead” but still able to move around. Being “dead” makes them difficult or impossible to report. If you are on a map and see dead players appearing and disappearing, especially at known nodes, then it may be them.

Take a screenshot and report in game. If you see a lot on one map be sure to point this out.

I’ll put my vote in for either Necromancer or Revenant as one who is actively involved in handling the deceased or channeling their spirit or powers. Guardians are more like holy warriors rather than priests imo.

If Rytlock wants to go to the mists and learn strange new powers there and come back, he can. After all he was able to leave Tyria and come to our world and return, as proven by this video.

There is a new daily table now.

Right now and for the conceivable future of about ohhhh,12 years or so, the Guild Wars 2 story line is undoubtably going to be about defeating dragons. If you are expecting a god related story line, you’ve got a wait ahead of you.

Your comment… it’s just a flesh wound… nothing fatal… ugh…

Yeah, I’m aware of the pace of which GW2 is moving.
- I’m not suggesting an entire campaign-like story for the Gods. Just some sort of content that actually makes these armor sets seem worthwhile having.

There’s nothing stopping them from making an even better set of similar armor when that day comes.

A reward for defeating Menzies? How many years, if ever, before this will happen? We can get the outfit and wear it now or wait for content that may never arrive (and this armor that may not be a reward for it then).

From what I can tell by reading the other threads, outfits that absolutely no one would want as an armor.

That doesn’t really say anything though. And I find it extremely unlikely that they would ever find such a thing (and that it would sell as well as these god outfits.

That was sort of my point.

I was trying to say that what they are essentially asking is no outfits at all as every outfit is a potential armor set for someone. Since they are asking for no outfits but only armor and since if ANet put armor in the gemstore then there would be an outcry about that, then there is nothing comparable that they can suggest to bring money into the gemstore.

Or how about Margonite themed sets and actually make that Abaddon bossfight in the Plane of Torment? And while we’re at it, why not meet the Lich and Shiro Tagachi in the Plane of Torment as well?

Won’t really work because Abaddon and, I assume, Lich and Shiro are all expressingly stated to be dead and gone forever?

I would also ask what they should put in the gem store instead of this outfit, in order to make up for lost revenue.

From what I can tell by reading the other threads, outfits that absolutely no one would want as an armor.

Contact support and see if they can send you another one.

I’m planning to buy but I think I’ll save it for when I use the Rainment of the Lich outfit. I’m thinking I’ll craft a backpiece and put the wings on that then whenever I feel like wearing that outfit, I’ll put on that backpiece.

Outfit? Fail.
Gemstore? Fail.

No money incoming to game? Fail.

I forgot that 100% of their income comes from selling future Balthazar outfits. My bad.

Seems like every time ANet puts a cosmetic item in the gem store there is someone complaining about it. If they put armor in the gem store, there are complaints about armor being put in the gem store. If they put outfits in the gem store, there are complaints that It’s not armor that is being sold.

Imo, outfits are exactly the type of thing that should be in the gem store making money for them. They are several armor sets in progress. Either they will be released in the gem store or in game soon enough.

You can preview dyes you don’t own from your wardrobe to decide which is best.

Are you sure you are in the hairstyles option section? You have to go past the first options of choosing your profession then physique and height, below the faces options to get to hair.

Guys read the blog post, it says “Mastery points are awarded for completing various pieces of game content.” and “…players who’ve reached level 80 will no longer gain levels but will instead train Masteries.”

Just think of Mastery points as doing a certain content to get the point (kinda like trait unlocks right now).

Think of the Experience Bar becoming like a PVP reward track, except for Mastery rewards.

That’s all there is to it. I expect Tomes of Knowledge to still grant levels under 80 and skill points 80+. But Mastery points do not come from leveling up the Mastery Bar.

They also said (I think this is where the confusion is coming from)

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/reimagining-progression-the-mastery-system/
“Mastery tracks are trained by gaining experience while the Mastery track is slotted on the Mastery training bar.”

Since the Tomes give one levels worth of experience, it’s a valid question to wonder if they will also advance the Mastery bar. It depends if ANet is meaning the old term of experience or if they are being inexact with their language and it’s gaining mastery experience through doing activities that are on a mastery track, such as (possible example) using a stationary cannon on mordrem gets you better at it and causes more damage as using the cannon advances that mastery track)

There are a few ways to get Black Lion keys. Now whether one is better than another is a matter of opinion.

1. Gemstore — Most common method.
2. Personal Story — Known for the lvl 10 Story reward but I believe it is also rewarded for lvl 20 and lvl 30 Story completion. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong.)
3. Map Completion — Rewards include two rares or exotics, materials related to level of zone cleared (40), and either a Transmutation stone or a Black Lion Key.
4. Extremely Rare drop — Random drop reward, perhaps equal in rarity as a precursor.
5. Daily Log-In Reward — Possible drop from a Box of Black Lion goods. (Again, please correct me if I’m mistaken here.)

Personally I get the most keys from my efforts towards Map Completion among all my many alts. They really pile up. However before they nerfed the personal story key farm, I used to get them that way regularly.

The personal story rewards are 10, 40 and 60

Personal story rewards
Completion of the level 10 racial story.
Setting the Stage (level 40)
The Battle of Claw Island (level 60)

The main one that got into trouble was a ranger with the heal on auto and a pet set to attack. A second place one was an engie with a turret skill on auto.

NovaZephyr.1293:

Then they should make it compatible instead of being lazy. They made it incompatible by not making it adjust to the armour classes. It’s lazy design and lazy coding. Hiding shoulders and gloves isn’t good enough. They should have never made outfits in the first place if they weren’t going to make it so we could mix and match. Whoever made that decision should have been slapped on the hand and told no. We already have a plethora of tonics that take up bag space, if they were going to pull that stunt they should have just made them tonics or make tonics into outfits. I’m well aware of the ‘reasons’ why they made outfits, and from day one since outfits were released I’ve been against them.

So you are suggesting that they rework all 3 armor weights and all the armor in the game to make them compatible across all the classes and then rework the outfits so that they are now armor?

Or are you suggesting they stop making outfits, which many like, buy and use and has it’s own niche place in the game and only make armor?
