Ahh this is why I don’t envy anet’s devs sometimes. People love the original, they change it, then others love the new version, they change it back… Bah it’s just a cluster kitty if you ask me.
But I’m really sorry it sucks for you I’d be sad if they ruined my t3 too, but I’d be really happy if they gave us a 4th dye slot in the goggles…. Lola

Anet brought it upon themselves: they shouldn’t have changed it in the first place.

People spend lots of gold/effort to obtain the looks they want. It’s pretty clear that if you make a change, you will upset some/many people — particularly since this game is supposed to be all about looks.

If Anet wanted to change armor looks, they should have come up with a different armor set (or maybe just alternate version of the changed set).

I agree. I just know that before they changed it a lot of people complained about not having glow… So they added it… And then everything blew up in their faces. That kind of stinks.

I thought the oatch said they reverted everything? Or did I misread that? Also can we get screenshots, they might help!

“On another note, I’m glad my Asura t3 light is still exclusive”

But for how long? dun dun dun…

That’s true. I’m just wondering what a human would look like in it… Hmmm….

Edit: any artist want to do a concept drawing?

Ah those poor elite t3 bookahs… They now feel the slightest jab of our pain, right?

Been waiting to see people defend their decision on the light armor set, have seen maybe 1, but they’re not even that adamant. It’s interesting to see what people will yell about, and what they think is fair.

On another note, I’m glad my Asura t3 light is still exclusive.

For the record, I am a dedicated fractals player. I am pretty sure I should be part of the target audience.

FTFY

I don’t know what ftfy means but

I agree with Jmar, and this is totally how I feel. The limited amount of time I play, I am in fractals. And there’s not a single ounce of me that cares about leaderboards.

From the Karka event tons of people, got precursors…. I’m not surprised that happened. I was at lvl 40 when it happened though, so I got lvl 60 exotics haha

Yes, as long as the person who has done story opens the dungeon.

Mine was a speargun, on my ele, in a 48. Lol

Aw… My lowly t2 is not good enough… cries

Conuni.8123:

Going back to my original post though, I don’t care if the skins are different for each set. I just want better stats so I can justify to myself that it’s worth the price. Speaking of, the tier 3 prices are horrible. I think it should be attainable by either a purchase or after completing the level 80 story line. Just my thoughts…

Ahhh so that’s what you meant. I get it. Yeah. I have so many trans stones that I don’t know what to do with them, so during low levels, it doesn’t harm me all that much! but I get it.

T3 is so good for so many weights and races. I like that they’re a bit hard to get, but I guess after personal story it would have the same effect. How many people finish it, anyway? Hehe

JMar.3254:

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Jmar, get your noob Mesmer out of my lvl 48! Your lack of Sunrise disturbs me.

<3

I do NOT have a lack of sunrise. There is a warm place in h e double hockeysticks (mod bot, ignore!) for people who waste sunrise on mesmers.

;P you’re the coolest.

JMar.3254:

pho.9412:

ok… you don’t need to watch youtube or guides to be experienced. and 40 AR is easy to get.

yes, neither are skills.

so what is your point?

are you one of those pugs that drag people down with 20 AR in a lvl 35 ?

AR is game mechanic it is necessary to have to do fotm.

Lol. I think you missed the point. By a longshot.

Jmar, get your noob Mesmer out of my lvl 48! Your lack of Sunrise disturbs me.

<3

Due to some technical problem, no. Which doesn’t seem quite right, considering they could do something similar to the gathering tools with the npcs exchange, but it isn’t likely that they care enough to implement it. We didn’t buy the weapons with gems, right?

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

I remember on another NA holiday (was it veterans’ day?) American players complained that the new release fell on a family holiday that people were going to spend with their families, and not gaming.

Now people complain because they think this falling on a family holiday will give Americans an edge.

Uh…. ?

Good point,. I think the only issue with the time of release is the fact that anet will be on vacation, and thus unavailable for support

Haha I love you.

I want a trait point for every time I leveled since 80 sound I can have all of the traits.

Seriously, 90 points would be great. 30 in 3 things would be rockin’

Lol just pointing out 70 isn’t an odd number. Lol

There have been a couple posts already about thanksgiving. But yeah, people with lives are screwed.

I wouldn’t say screwed. It seems like the very high majority don’t care at all about leaderboards.

But yes, if people seemed to actually care, then I agree =)

Right, that’s true. I personally don’t care so it doesn’t matter to me, but still. I’m just waiting for the first 50. I’m wondering if they will be respectable or not haha.

I don’t know. I’m not going to be able to play during the holidays, family engagements and such.

It’ll probably be a mix.

lordkrall.7241:

. And looking at how the Fractals scale over all it does tend to jump quite a bit in difficulty rather drastically later on.

Except this is only your assumption from current fractal difficulty and nothing to do with the new scale.

This makes me so mad. When they release ascended armor, why bother, if it will end up being obsolete in a future release?

Hannelore.8153:

Be warned that its kind of costly, two Transmutation crystals per part, as the order armors that are sold are level 80, and so will be your target armor.

Can you not transmute items from an open bank tab?

I could pretty easily get arond spending gems on another transmutation stone by just buying a cheap exotic armor with the stats I want that isn’t soulbound.

Clearly ANet needs to make this a little more user friendly though.

You have to break the soulbinding first, which means a transmutation to a low level white item first, keeping the skin and losing the stats. This step is the one that changes it from soulbound to account bound. Then a second transmutation of the skin to the amor with stats you wish to keep. So it requires 2 fine T stones.

I’m sure Astral’s explanation is more than sufficient, but I wanted to add that you can only break the soul bounding with the character it is soul bound to. It doesn’t work just by opening a bank tab and doing it there.

Crystals are expensive, which is why I always stockpile during sales (I have about 96 ATM) I bet there are going to be sales this weekend, and even if they aren’t transmutation crystals, you never know. I would wait till then

Actually from friends telling me, I know that Canadians have thanksgiving! also, my friend in South Africa has a thanksgiving. So I’m just assuming a lot of places have them.

Canada’s Thanksgiving was last month

I know, I just meant that other places do have thanksgiving as a holiday, even if they’re not at the same time.

Actually from friends telling me, I know that Canadians have thanksgiving! also, my friend in South Africa has a thanksgiving. So I’m just assuming a lot of places have them.

…this week is US thanksgiving. Is it also EU’s thanksgiving?

Also, I’d like to point out that I don’t think it’s much of a coincidence that this particular (controversial) patch is coming out right before anet’s employees go on vacation.

Just make sure you get he right armor weight.

Shockwave.1230:

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Well, you can get another character to be apart of that order and then transmute the armors to be account bound and used on the character of your choice. Example, I wanted vigil leggings on my priory warrior, so my vigil ranger bought the leggings and transmuted them over….

You are an amazing human being, my day is made

:) yay

Razor.6392:

I can use yellow transmutation stones for the first part right? (Order armor -> white)

I believe order armor is level 80, though I could be wrong. If it is level 80 you would need the rare quality crystals. If it is below 80 you can use the fine quality stones.

So you first need to have a character join the priory order.

Then, buy it on that character. Then, buy white armor pieces and transmute the order armor onto the white armor. It should then be account bound. Then you can put it on your elementalist and transmute it onto the stats you want to have.

They have pretty much said it won’t… They said something along the lines of, they want the gear to be “prestige” items.

Lvl 80 soldier’s gear is not available. You can get the stats from AC and HOTW, though. And temple gear, if you have that kind of karma.

Oh don’t get me wrong, we finished it, it’s just the guy had no idea what he was doing, and started on 10 because his friend told him it was a good idea. If you know what your doing at 35, I think you can make it, but I’d much prefer an exotic’d up 80.

There is no guarantee that said lvl 80 have ever been to the Fractals either though. Just because one is lvl 80 doesn’t mean you have a clue about what you are doing.

You do have a larger room for error though as a level 80. Would you do fractals in a group of level 35’s? You probably aren’t part of the lv35 vs 80 part of the thread but I wanted to bring up that question.

You… Can’t do a fractal above 9 with level 35s….. Agony… And stuff…. Being scaled to 80 doesn’t mean…. Never mind.
I would do a fractal with a bunch of people with prl 35, though……..

What are we even talking about here?!

You’ll have to read the entire thread. It was brought up that level 35’s could do fractals without being a liability or being carried. What you just wrote about AR is another thing that I agree with.

I read the entire thread. There was something about comparing lvl 80s to lvl 35s and how some lvl 80s are bad or not as good as a good 35, but that’s really not the case if those levels are strictly prl. A level 80 prl can’t really be a bad player. A level 35 character can be better in say, AC than a crappy lvl 80, but we’re not talking about dungeons, we’re talking about fractals.

So I’m confused.

And you get the glob of coagulated mist essence from fractals 11? And above.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

I definitely think Cultural Armour needs a rethink.
It is insanely expensive and not even max stats which means that you’re spending all that money for something purely cosmetic.
So as it stands adding different stat types wouldn’t help at all because the gear would still have it’s base stats too low and the cost too high.
They definitely need to go back and re-examine cultural armour. I think the best option would be to make it purely skins, lower the costs a bit and add in more tiers.

I definitely think they should be skins, as they are strictly cosmetic.

If the models for those armors already existed, I. Would say yes. But I think the cultural armors, order armors, crafted armors, and karma armors cover all of the armors currently used in game (or most of them, I know certain armors are not, especially living story armors).

They would have to come up with 2 more designs per weight, per race. That’s 30 new armors….

I think that might be more than they can do!

Edit: but believe me I would never say no to new armors, just saying that I’m not sure it is feasible.

… o.o I think there might be a misunderstanding here between prl and character level…

I believe they announced that they would not be available.

Can’t remember the post, though.

I’m not saying switch accounts, I just mean, a second account just so you can fractal and dungeon run with a single character… But if you need all of the classes and such, mmk! My suggestion is no good

I don’t know the technological difficulty, and as such, I can’t give an opinion on how hard or easy it would be to implement.

You could, I think, get a second account for playing on NA? You would have to level another toon, but it could be worth it!

I’m excited. Hahaha

Do you know anything about infusing rings and backpacks after the patch ?

No comment. Apparently I’m just a filthy elitist though, that’s what I get for expecting my party to be competent.

(Not directed at you lilith =))

You and your Mesmer…. Yesterday during harpy, I jumped to my death while stealthier twice. The nice thief brought me back up both times, was far too nice to me.

Btw we ran with that thief and the guardian from Saturday, they did not disappoint.

Darn it!

I love my TC too much to ever leave it.

Oh right, snow. I always forget that one, I very rarely get it.

The short medium long thing, I’m wondering what everyone thinks the breakup will be?

My hypothesis :

Short:
Water
Swamp

Medium
Ascalon
Harpy
Colossus

Long:
Dredge
Grawl

I’m not sure. What do y’all think?
