Those are 2 sets with 3 different class types; you cant count single armor type as full set, this is just a part of full set which comes with 3 different classes
I’m confused.
Let’s use the glorious pvp armour as an example. There are 3 differnt types, which means 3 completely unique sets of gear.
Are you saying it only counts as 1 set?
Yes that’s exactly what s/he is saying.
It is technical one set. IE, they are all classified by the same name. They belong to the same group. The group contains 3 distinct sub sets, 1 for each weight.
Too many people forget that while armor belongs to “groups” each individual “set” has its own distinct set up and coding. They don’t see “3” distinct armors, they see only the one group name and gripe complain that we “only got one” when in fact we got 3.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
How? Just how do you “accidentally” do something like this? I’ve TPed many things… never ran into an issue like this. Accidentally clicked on sell to highest buy vs lowest sell, sure. But this? This takes effort to “accidentally” do….
I think someone explained it above: it’s a combination of delay between the TP opening and publishing the current WTB/WTS values, delays after clicking or typing numbers, and general latency…along with being in a rush.
If the TP loads fast for you, you’ll never notice even the possibility of this happening. If the TP loads slowly enough, you’ll wonder why it doesn’t happen to everyone every day.
My preventative habit is to (almost) never sell to an existing buyer nor accept an existing sell offer; that guarantees that I’m never clicking ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ before my computer has a chance to finish loading the TP data for the item in question. On my desktop, that’s no hardship at all; on my TP, it means proceeding very slowly indeed.
Yeah the TP doesn’t load quickly for me….ever. Ive often griped about my connection around here, so maybe that’s my issue. I’m not silly enough to randomly click around while I’m waiting on things to load. I’m well aware that its a good way to screw yourself over. That’s not precisely Anet’t fault.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
When it comes to opening bags, yes it’s a lot of clicking. I believe many of us have a ‘double click’ key bind set up, other people bind it to their scroll wheel on their mouse. Personally, my G6 key is a double click, I just hold it down and it zips through the bags. No muss, no fuss. Maybe give something like that a try to help reduce some of your clicking.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Outfits are not stupid. There is nothing wrong with outfits (this coming from someone that for the most part isn’t a fan on 95% of them). There is nothing wrong with them making outfits and sticking them in the gem shop. They are an excellent monetary cosmetic item.
Yes, we need some new armors. I would prefer that they start putting these in the game as opposed to in the shop. Perhaps, having outfits as in the shop will allow for them to stick armors (when they make them) into the game, as opposed to “needing” to sell them to generate revenue. Carapace and Lumi could have easily been stuck in the gem store; however, they were not. So I have some hope.
Yes, some outfits would look pretty snazzy as armors; however, we have been told several times that there are technical limitations on armor implementations. Due to these limitations (as (I have said other places) it is most likely that if certain outfits (like the balth) were translated into an armor set, it would be limited to a single weight, which would kitten a lot of people off. Outfits allow for a broader range of consumers for looks that are extremely desirable.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Weren’t new node images data mined by that_shaman? I got the impression we’re going to see some new mat nodes in the expansion, in addition to the existing t5 and t6.
Which, makes more sense to me than the higher level zones suddenly having the lower level nodes.

Maybe I will take you up on the offer some weekend Sarah. I’d like to build my understanding of fractals; however, most of the people I run into tend to result in me desiring to string them up by their toes and beat them like a pinata.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Maybe they are holding off on the Exemplar Outfit because they are also working on an Armor Skin version! (Please, ANet?)
Yes!!!!!
#WillNeverBuyAnOutfit
Hmm I said I’d never buy an outfit once too…
Then they released the noble…..and now Balth….
As much as I would like to see the Anise attire as armor, I don’t see it happening. It’s design would lock it to a light weight, which would thoroughly kitten of some medium and heavy weight wearers. Making it an outfit allows for a greater spread of players to use it.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I’ve made the suggestion for alternative means of acquiring cloths several times previously. I even went so far as to point out where the different types come from in real life and how we could use the existing sickle to gather fibers from similar types of nodes in the game ( we even have sheep we could sheer for wool already in the game).
Never see it happening though.
But yes… I feel the pain when it comes to crafting ascended armors. I will eventually have 7 characters of each weight (long story, don’t ask), each will eventually have their own set of armor. It’s a semi-daunting task. I don’t even want to think about ‘down the road’ if they add more races…
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I think a lot of people have asked to see Largos made into a playable race. The same with Tengu and Kodan.
I’ve said before, and agree with others, that I’d like to see those new playable races worked into the game around the time we go after the dragon that affected them. Jormag for the Kodan. “Bubbles” for the Largos. Not precisely certain on the Tengo though. They could be slotted in anywhere I suppose.
I’d also like to see the stories focus more on the specific race affected as well. Right now we have Mordy and the Sylvari (ha, called that one), but I’d like to delve into more about the Asura when we go after Primordus, more about the Norn for Jormag (this is already set up to an extent with the fang), the Charr and Kralkatoric (maybe even drive us into Elona as part of the story line).
Boy the places I could go if I could sink my fingers into their story….
Maybe I will take up fanfiction again….
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
They’ve said they want to put season 1 into the format season 2 is in, but as it wasn’t designed that way it’s going to take time to reformat it. I hope it does come back….it’ll help make season 1 feel way less disjointed too.
I truly hope so. It’s a necessity if they ever want to be respectable if it comes to GW2 being a game with a good story. (Don’t get me wrong, the story is amazing! But only if you have played through season 1, which now is still temporary content)
Yes, they’ve said they want to re-do it. In recent interviews Colin has further stated that they won’t start working on it until sometime after the expansion release (because they are 100% focused on the expansion right now).
In the mean time, they do have a couple of Season 1 recap vids out there, and a couple of pretty decent news blogs too. I know, I know, should be in the game for players to reference (I’ve commented as such many times before), but getting all that info into games seems to be a failing for a lot of companies. Not just Anet.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
From the information available, I can say I like the new legendary set up. At least in theory. I like the idea of tiered collections that will help tell me the story behind the legendary and will actually make me do things across the world (not that I don’t do that already, but that’s not the point). I like that the new ones won’t be TP-able, so they won’t just be credit card candy, thus having one will “mean something.” I also like that they are bringing in the new map bonus system, so we can farm necessary components with a little less frustration. It’ll still take time, but it will help curb the feeling that farming is pointless (at least for some of us) as we’ll have specific ways (with less rng involved) to get what we’re after (in theory).
However, until I can actually get my hands on the systems and dive into them, it’s hard to say positively “yes, i love it!” In theory, yes it looks great. In actuality, maybe not so much. We’ll see.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
yes ..why dont they just release
chest+leg pieces in one (like cof light chest piece armor)
and release helmets, gloves, shoulders and boots as single armor pieces
problem solved
They can’t because of the base system. Just like we can’t mix an armor head piece with an outfit (at this time).
In order for them to make the costumes into armor skins (which could be used across all classes, cause if they were locked to a single weight the outrage would be insane) they would completely need to rework the underlying mesh system used for armors. They’ve already told us about this issue. It’s why we have outfits. It’s why they couldn’t just straight up convert town clothes to armor skins. It’s why we can’t mix armor weights (ie a medium coat and a light skirt). It is a very complex technical limitation. Additionally, this is a core component of the game that we’re asking for an overhaul to. It would take (likely) a great deal of time to rebuild, not even considering any of the additional components it touches that might need overhauling as well.
Time is money. I find it highly unlikely they will go back and change this system unless it would be significantly profitable for them (ie, more profitable than spending time on creating new content).
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
That’s an understatement… and of course, at this point, they aren’t likely to fix their “oops.”
There still isn’t a convincing argument that this is in fact an “oops”
*goes and hides under the bridge.
No I suppose not. Though the state of the affair definitely leads to the support of “they didn’t think this one through.”
There also is the possibility, and a high one at that, that “Silk wasn’t an accident” and “Is is working as intended” (per John Smith)
Just sayin….
Yeah…that’s exactly what I would say if I screwed it up and didn’t want to cop to it either….
So JS is lying? And silk was indeed an accident, and its broken beyond repair?
Gotcha….
Lying…maybe. Dunno. I don’t take everything the man says as gospel. That’d just be silly. We’ve seen them reverse things on us before. Maybe based on the information he has, sure its working as intended; however, wouldn’t be the first time the right hand doesn’t have all the information the left hand has.
Maybe it was an accident, maybe it wasn’t. Maybe they just didn’t think it far enough through, which actually falls somewhere in between. Ie – it was intentional, but had greater ramifications than originally foreseen.
Broken beyond repair? Never.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Derigar, I would STRONGLY recommend that you do NOTHING with this armor, and open up a support ticket and see if there is any way they can help you.
My personal experience with CS has been that for the most part, they are more than willing to help people who have made mistakes or not understood some aspect of the game.
Best of luck!
Oh my god my guild told me to salvage…
I feel like an idiot now.
Not very good guild mates then. Of course, they could have told you as an exotic it was going to soul bind….
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I used to have a ton of silk as well, then i started crafting ascended armor.
Now i have none… I still have a ton of leather though. Too bad damask uses twice the silk as any other ascended material does for their respective t5. And damask is always the most in demand, because not only is it used in all armor classes, but its used on insignias… They went way overboard in the effort to increase demand on silk.
That’s an understatement… and of course, at this point, they aren’t likely to fix their “oops.”
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Crafting is typically part of the leveling regimen I use on all of my characters. I think every alt has at least 1 crafting profession. Changing this would be detrimental to my personal play style (and would royally tick me off).
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I checked the Heart of Thorns wiki page and it sounds like the mastery system is pretty close to that, so maybe remove the trait hunt thing and instead have the masteries ?
Ok now i’m hyped, the Stronghold PvP mode reminds me of GvG, this is going to be good !
Given how masteries are supposed to work, I hope they don’t tie traits to that (reminds me of rep grind from EotN). We’ll just have to wait and see what they do with the system when they get around to telling us. I’m assuming they are still working out kinks / finalizing the new method, thus why we haven’t heard yet.
Yes, Stronghold does remind me of GvG as well. The devs said they took their inspiration for it from a combination of GvG and FA/JQ
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Oh yeah, good old skill hunting, I remember that, nice idea. What i’m understanding is that they over did it a bit and will be tuning it down somehow right ? Learn from the mistakes.
I’m glad they listen to their community, it very well may be their best asset.
That’s what it sounds like. We had a huge feedback (read: rant fest) thread with a lot of complaints, which is where Colin did finally tell us they would be changing it. However, no details have surfaced beyond that. Some of us are thinking we’ll see something shortly before, if not with, the expansion, but it’s just speculation.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I didn’t plan to delete the old ones, especially my first one to which I’m quite attached, but now I have to ask, what’s this about unlocking traits ? Did the system change or something ? I thought everything came with levels and skill points.
Or maybe I just forgot after all this time?
Some of us requested skill hunting, similar to GW1 during one of the several Collaborative Development threads with the devs. They couldn’t really apply it to skills, so they applied it to traits instead. Some traits are acquired for killing a certain boss, or helping take a certain tower in Edge of the Mists, or finding a specific chest in the open world, which personally I’m ok with all those. Some though, require you to map a specific map, which can get a bit tedious when it has to be done on each character.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Guhracie has a point. Some of the trait acquisition for new characters can be painful, though Colin has told us they are overhauling that system again (though we do not know when).
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
You don’t have to reinstall but will have a big patch or two or so to install. Welcome back!
They’re actually working on a streaming client that is in beta right now. I can’t remember exactly how to activate it (it’s an argument you have to give when running the executable), but what that means is that, like GW1, you’ll be able to start the game without downloading the entire update, and it will just limit your access to the parts of the game that you’ve downloaded so far.
I haven’t tried it out yet, but once they get that to a more polished state, it should make getting back into the game after a long absence much easier.
I use this. It’s handy. -StreamingClient is what you add
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Season 1….. still gone forever. Eventually may come back, but not until after the expansion drops. They need to look at retooling it as it wasn’t designed the same way as season 2.
Season 2… very playable, it is perminent, though you’ll either need to group up with someone that has the story instances unlocked or buy it yourself. (Like 20$ for the whole thing). It’ll always be there, so take it at your own pace.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Excess silk and leather….come again? Not this girl. I’m always scrounging for enough t5 cloth and leather to make my daily elonian cord and weaving thread.
Yes, I typically have plenty of mithril. When I hit my 1500 cap, I sell off a couple of stacks. Though…converting it might work too, but that requires t6 dust which I don’t have a lot of either.
What? I craft…therefore I’m poor.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I play pvp when I get pve-ed out and have no idea what the Arena Tokens are used for?
Haven’t looked them up because I really don’t care, but I keep them and have a bunch.
It is a bummer when I get them in BLC, would rather have a BL scrap.
Each token adds one day to the availability of a person’s personal custom arena. A purchased custom arena has a base of 30 days. To retain it longer than that, you need to extend its ‘life’ with the time tokens.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Can we make those tokens tradeable? I’d gladly sell mine.
Me likey this idea. I’d sell the ones I have too!
Although, I guess they could technically be sold as they currently are. PvPer pays gold, you drop time coins on his custom arena. Risky, but doable.
I didn’t know that was a thing. >_>
Maybe I’ll give PvP a poke and see if I get any tips. :P
Uhm…wasn’t saying it was a thing. Was simply saying its completely possible, given that you can use your time tokens on any custom arena. Doesn’t have to be on that belongs to you.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
They’ve said SAB will be back eventually. Given that they announced SAB’s return the last time it came back (and even when it was introduced), one might assume they would do such again the next time. Therefore to assume they’ll just “stick it in the game” (which isn’t their m.o.) is kind of foolish. It’s just setting yourself up for heartache.
I honestly don’t think we’ll see it return until after the expansion drops. But maybe, hopefully, I’m wrong for the sake of those that want it.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
They should just release this every year on 9/11, I would laugh my butt off at all the kitten people.
So would I, considering this has absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. Nor is it related even remotely in anyway. I mean if just the plane reference is that much of an issue, then all flights should be grounded to make sure no one is potentially offended by seeing one.
LOL dude you are really a White Knight. Keep it up!
Yes, I’m a white knight because I have some god kitten common sense and I don’t let everything and anything offend me. Because I realize kitten happens, that’s life. The world doesn’t just stop because of it.
If that makes me a kitten, well then see my signature. At least I’m an honest kitten.
you talk a lot about “common sense”. I am not entirely sure you can define what that is but I am pretty sure you will try to convince every poster in this forum that you fight for it. Go White Knights!
Apparently neither can you, because instead of offering an actual valid argument in return you simply resort to personal attacks. GJ.
HA, are you offended!? Don’t let everything and anything offend you. I don’t hide behind “common sense” so your statement is actually pretty ironic.
No, not offended. Did roll my eyes at you though.
Wait, I actually called you a White Knight. Is that wrong? Shouldn’t I? Because you have it in your signature.
I have it in my signature as a haha, but yes many have called me a “White Knight.” You may think whatever you choose to think, doesn’t necessarily mean its true.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
SAB is not coming back at this time why can’t people understand those 5 simple words.
lol you might want to clarify which 5 words you mean. since “SAB is not coming back” is 5 words, as is “not coming back at this time” Big different between those two phrases though.

OoOoOoooooOooooo a developer huh…citing your profession over the internet always convinces people.
Hey, it impressed me!
And as a veteran astronaut and Congressional Medal of Honor awardee, I’m not easily impressed.
It wasn’t intended to impress. Besides, I’m not the only person on this forum with coding experience. Anyone with a little common sense understands that just because something seems simple doesn’t necessarily make it so. And that applies to pretty much anything, not just coding.
What games have you developed?
I didn’t say I was a game developer. I said I was a developer. Specifically, I’m a java / sql developer. Depending on which project I’m on changes what I’m working on. My current project I’m doing the data modeling and the sql reporting. I think the project I start Monday is a subscription management platform. Don’t have all the details on that one yet. Supposed to meet my team members and work on getting integrated tomorrow.
