They don’t have to be full abyss (I realize that’s pretty ninja!)

Fun fact: black is no good for night camoflage…

“Wearing a solid colour at night actually makes you more visible, as it defines your silhouette against a non-solid colour background. The average nighttime environment isn’t actually solid black, but rather a combination of various dark shades. "

Environmental colours, to match the surroundings, are best :p

Lol well… I was just thinking about this kind of ninja, when I said abyss.

I was going to post one, then I read no Outfits, My Samurai Pizza Cat (asura, ninja outfit/ Odachi) isnt happy with this.

Sorry! I just feel like outfits are not creative enough, but you can feel free to post it anyway especially if you have a neat dye scheme, it just can’t win xD

@Mihaly: it’s a highlander reference. Lol

Yeah its the first outfit I’ve ever been forced to use the helm.

Do participate folks!

Hey folks!

This week’s contest is: show me your ninjas! (No outfits allowed)

I want to see an awesome armor combo which gives a sweet ninja feel of any armor weight. The winner will receive a Belinda’s greatsword skin from the gem store (or a prize of equal value).

On you entry, post your screen, a list of armor pieces, and your dye scheme. They don’t have to be full abyss (I realize that’s pretty ninja!) And I’d love to see some creative takes on this task.

Good luck to everyone! Contest ends Thursday evening EST.

There can be only one.

I will never get the fascination with charcoal sylvari, or burnt twigs as I tend to call them if I’m in a slightly meaner mood.
For me a plant has to be colourful, vibrant. Otherwise its a dead plant.

And before someone piles in with “but it’s a necromancer”. Well commonly the necromancer herself isnt dead/undead, just a practitioner of magic involving the dead/undead. There are cases where they count among the undead themselves, but at least not in guild wars, as far as I know. (Could be wrong about that, admittedly.)

Edit: To clarify: I’m not saying that the designs don’t look nice or interesting. But they just rub me the wrong way.

/sigh
There, fashion amateur, this is how you make a badkitty sylvari with a bark skin.
Also, about “plants should be colourful” my cactus says hi. It will rip you apart if you dare say it’s not awesome (it inspired the look of my sylvari).
Metalhead cactus op!

I love your cactus.

As I said I really like the dark bark because it makes me able to use excessively bright hair flowers and armors without clashing with the Sylvari main color. That’s always been my main hang up on Sylvari, I hated how nothing stood out. With the new hair colors (I’m using dark peach) and some vibrant dyes you get a really lovely contrast you wouldn’t get if she was light blue or whatever

Please tell me the gold to gem conversion rate didn’t see the biggest spike ever ;_;

I use RL money for gem shop stuff. Because… well. I support anet when they produce fashion.

Just so you guys are aware, ALL special weapon skins are in the gem store. Kasmeer staff marjory dagger and axe broham shield and mace and rox quiver and shortbow.

I just checked… 10 hours or so ago it was 857 gems for 100g, now it’s 628. While the designs are indeed good, I can’t bring myself to support ANet with money as of now.

When you have disposable income it becomes easy to justify things like shiny pixels and a cleaning lady (best 200 a month I’ve ever spent)

It’s not about having disposable income or not imo, instead it’s about ANets focus and them neglecting parts of the game, not fixing important bugs which are in this game since release (I’m glad they fixed the Asura-PvP-Problem, but the messed up AoE-Indicators still remain for example). Even though I have to say that the LS is getting better and Dry Top is a wonderful map, they have to fix mistakes they made before I can see myself supporting ANet with real munies again.

If only I cared more about those things than i do about shiny pixels.

Doesn’t sound like that big of a buff for necros…semi-cleave on dagger is about the best. If they update their skills and traits in order to buff the team better and contribute more than I would say it’s a buff for necro.

Well we don’t know what’s coming except for dagger semi-cleave. Survivability can mean a lot.

You made a good choice with a Sylvari Necromancer. :P

Sylvari Necro…how original :P

j/k j/k Lilith don’t hurt me. I have 2 necros, one sylvari and one human.

I chose sylvari over my human and asura just because I feel like I really ought to level one.

Argon.1563:

People actually look at those? In all of GW2, I mean, the entire two years this game has been up, I have been referred to by my name once. That is on one occasion somebody called me by my name. The rest of the times it was just my character’s names I was referred to as.

As someone with a forum addiction, I’m recognized by my account name so people generally call me “Lilith” rather than my real name or my character name. I feel bad that these names can’t be changed, because sometimes I wish my account name was my main characters name. Hehe.

However I’m liking my newest nickname “Lils”.

@OP your name COULD be worse. Any time I think of my 14 year old AOL screen name (shadowgrrl) I cringe.

It casts a shadow, even though it’s a light.

Light sources work oddly in GW2:

• Molten weapons have distinct, fiery effects, but do not provide any illumination.
• Torches are good sources of light, but produce the same amount of lumens-equivalents regardless of which one is used.
• Mad Memoires (complete) illuminates a larger area than any other item in the game (and creates a brighter effect), but only for the wielder; no one else can see the illumination.

In other words, don’t expect Tyrian physics to match too closely with our own.

Just wanted to add, the PvP Balthazar backpiece also emits light like a torch. Also, iirc, the greatsword Cobalt.

The pvp and pve community of this game both thinks the other part get all the credit, and the “elitists” ( the true ones, this time) for both communities despite the other game mode for that. But no, dungeons and fractals never got updated except for that crappy level reset, and everyone is getting bored. That’s why you see people doing solo naked, trying strange things like walling lupi for max reflect damage, etc. New content would help, and a fractal team/dungeon team is totally needed, but since we won’t have that, it’s better to just repeat what we have and improve.
tl;dr: No, we’re not even close to satisfied, but we have no choice and we deal with it.

To be honest, neither the pvp(including wvw) or pve(fractals/dungeons specifically) have received much in the history of guild wars 2. Its always been the selfish living story thats received everything. Its literally sucked out the life from so many parts of the game. Anet in an interview posted today said they couldn’t focus efforts on SAB because they had other parts of the game to work on, one of those being fractals.

FRACTALS!??! REALLY? How often have you actually updated that part of the game? Please tell me, because im extremely confused. Unless there was a sudden change, Anet has never cared about anything but the living world.

They completely reworked dredge. It’s not much but it was pretty significant and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

Ye but for someone in the dungeon community can you really live with those types of updates? I mean, for people like us who do spvp/wvw/dungeon(fractals), something like that seems big sadly lol. In a normal MMO, that isn’kittens just easier to say that this part of the game like many others has been left to die after looking at how many updates its received.

I’m very much in the minority of this subforum in regard to optimism on this front. I honestly do think they have a couple developers working on dungeon bugs and fractal fixes given what we have seen rolled out in the latest patches. As a software developer for a large company, I do understand that even the smallest changes can actually take a lot of work, and a change like dredge probably took a solid month of 1 developers time or a week or two for a team. Things don’t happen quickly.

I’m cautiously optimistic. I think they care about fractals more than other parts of the game based on the updates it receives. It isn’t as much as living world, but living world is their attempt at being different and honestly… at least we aren’t dealing with the same crap as last year.

No one thinks pvp shouldn’t have exclusive armor. No one.

I do. Neither should PvE or WvW. Which is why i wholeheartedly supported PvP reward tracks when they were introduced. It’s funny, though, that so many people that then supported breaking with exclusivity had become its vocal supporters now, when it started to work for them.

Okay well i will revise my statement.

No one supporting exclusive pve armor rewards are against exclusive pvp armor rewards.

Idc. I loved my ele before fgs was a thing and I’ll love her when it isn’t. I think the only logical change is actually to change the untargeted rush not do damage but still give the mobility. Because losing that little bit could mean bad things for me. :/

This here is a great guide: http://dulfy.net/2014/04/17/gw2-fashion-collector-title-guide/

I have the title but I also bought all gem store armors and hats and such and had a decent amount of dungeon and pvp skins.

How long did it take? Or how many gems and gold

Only a couple days after patch. I just bought all of the armors. In total it was about 200$

But I still say we need an azurite mining pick.

I don’t mind these kinds of tools. I just think they should be more expensive than the others so it doesn’t feel like… idk, a waste? To have bought the others.

no.
the others should be “upgraded” to drop something.

It does surprise me, I guess. I figured it was going to be the back to school update. I didn’t really like SAB, but the majority of people I know we’re SUPER (lol) excited about it coming back soon. It surprises me that they don’t just release it as it was with no uodates. To keep people happy. I wonder if it really would take that much development effort. I guess I don’t know how hard it would be (I freely admit that) but it is obviously something their players care about. I wish they would have at least considered throwing it back in this year.

Picking nits here, but the legendary weapons all require pvp to get them – so they’re not at all pve exclusive. (Yes, WvW is players fighting players, thus is PvP – not PvE though quite often it appears to be Player vs. Door)

Wrong, you get badges from Achievement chests. This hyperbola is out of place.

Just wanted to say: you can’t get WvW maps from achievement chests.

But you can certainly map without engaging in any kind of player vs. player whatsoever.

EoTM —>badges, tons of badges, without really ever needing to fight unless two zergs collide.
WvW -->map completion, only explore what your side controls. This will avoid any possible PvP encounters. Anything left over (POIs/SPs that are in open-ish areas), just grab them on off hours or whenever your side controls the closest tower/keep/supply camp. It may take a while since you need to rotate to all 3 colors, but that’s price you pay for refusing to engage in any kind of PvP: inconvenience.

WvW really is a good balance of PvE and PvP whereas you can do one, the other, or both if you want to.

I could never claim with 100% certainty you won’t encounter another human in combat, but with the above method you will avoid 99% of encounters. (Some thieves are extremely persistent)

I wasn’t arguing that mapping wvw is difficult or anything (it wasn’t easy for me since I’m not good at pvp and did consistently run into roamers, but I do think it was a valuable part of building my legendaries) just that it is an aspect of wvw that you need for a legendary and it isn’t just given to you via achieve chests.

But they called me childish for asking for something. They said I’m juvenile because I said “I want”. Should I have worded it “I have a desire that they do x but accept their decisions” in order to get through their thick effing skulls that I’m not saying they have to do anything? Is this forum not a place for suggestions? Can they all cease existing please? QQ

Suck it up and play the other third (extrapolation here I know) of the game.

You’ll only get better at the game as a whole for doing so.

Exclusive PvE’ers don’t deserve extra treatment on top of what exclusives you already have; the PvP community has gotten diddly-squat. Even in the sad state that it is in, PvP is the only actual demonstration of any level of player skill (yes we’re all aware that this is arguable but the general basis still stands); the solution? Play PvP and get better. You won’t regret it whatsoever and that’s a promise.

I assume some people are scared of their self-assumed skill at the game being disproved, but it’s happened to all PvP’ers at some point and it’s only done us good.

That being said I play both PvP and PvE in equal amounts (with my heart closest to PvP of course).

People like you need to stop making this pvp vs pve. It’s not a competition. Why can’t pve have an exclusive armor set? All the reasoning pvpers are giving is that pvp deserves it more. What the heck? Why does that matter?

No one thinks pvp shouldn’t have exclusive armor. No one. But this whole “I’m a pvper we get nothing!” Which isn’t true (WvW gets nothing and I’m not even biased, I only pve and I can see how little they get) should not be the reason pve doesn’t get a grind exclusive armor we can work on. I mean… why is this about pvp versus pve? Why are we fighting? That’s so stupid.

It’s the fact that people with this mindset are straight up ignoring a pretty…what’s the word…interesting part of the game entirely, instead of jumping in and participating. And the fact that you’re so kitten defensive about it all of a sudden only substantiates the fact that it is a PvE vs PvP thing. You’re digging your own hole, and you shouldn’t expect any sympathy with this kind of attitude of “PvP got it too so we also want it for PvE”. You have it already, and more.

Not in the form of armors, no we don’t.

I don’t want a pvp armor. I don’t like pvp, I don’t enjoy pvp, I don’t want an armor that is pvp exclusive because I don’t want people to think I like pvp.

I do want new armors that I can work toward and I’d love them to be a token system through fractals. Or an upgrade sort of deal like Mawdrey, through the most difficult pve content. Whether you think it is actually difficult, idgaf, and it is irrelevant.

It isn’t a pvp versus pve thing. You’re not using logic when you say that me saying that makes it a pvp versus pve thing. It isn’t.

I think there should be special armors that say “I am dedicated to pvp/wvw/high level pve.” Armors. Not weapons. PvP gets theirs first. Fine. But the OP and most who agree with the OP are asking anet to consider doing something similar for pve (and also many say wvw as well!) There is nothing wrong with this. Pvpers are coming in here and attacking everyone without justification. Just stop.

You skimmed over the section where I state that I play both equally, and yes my heart is closer to PvP, but that’s because I know how neglected it’s been for the past two years.

This is how life works: You don’t participate, you don’t get the reward you want. It is black and white. There is no grey in between. It’s never been a matter of PvP vs PvE. It’s a matter of playing the game to it’s fullest. It’s literally Occam’s razor here. That is the explanation.

Any other mindset is juvenile.

How is my not wanting a pvp exclusive armor juvenile? I don’t want a pvp exclusive armor. Do I need to say it again? I don’t want a pvp exclusive reward. I don’t want a pvp exclusive armor.

I would like to see anet introduce armor rewards for pve. There’s nothing wrong with that. How is my asking or wanting that juvenile and how is it that only pvp getting an exclusive reward “how life works”? I don’t want a pvp reward. They can keep the glorious armor and I don’t want it. I want a fractal armor set. That’s juvenile? That’s wrong? That’s not how life works?

What am I even reading now?

Because you keep saying I WANT… that’s just childish lol, grow up
Anet doesn’t have to give us anything, you can’t demand stuff.
Just accept whatever is being done right now and be content.
If they add prestigious PvE armor (which i’m sure they will), than you will get what you want, but you sound like a child , crying about something because you didn’t get what you wanted… World doesn’t work that way, you can’t demand things..just be happy with what’s given. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t immediately get what you want..

I’m saying I want it, not “Anet has to do this.”

Since when is asking for something childish?

You’re digging your own hole, and you shouldn’t expect any sympathy with this kind of attitude of “PvP got it too so we also want it for PvE”. You have it already, and more.

Not in the form of armors, no we don’t.

I don’t want a pvp armor. I don’t like pvp, I don’t enjoy pvp, I don’t want an armor that is pvp exclusive because I don’t want people to think I like pvp.

I do want new armors that I can work toward and I’d love them to be a token system through fractals. Or an upgrade sort of deal like Mawdrey, through the most difficult pve content. Whether you think it is actually difficult, idgaf, and it is irrelevant.

It isn’t a pvp versus pve thing. You’re not using logic when you say that me saying that makes it a pvp versus pve thing. It isn’t.

I think there should be special armors that say “I am dedicated to pvp/wvw/high level pve.” Armors. Not weapons. PvP gets theirs first. Fine. But the OP and most who agree with the OP are asking anet to consider doing something similar for pve (and also many say wvw as well!) There is nothing wrong with this. Pvpers are coming in here and attacking everyone without justification. Just stop.

Suck it up and play the other third (extrapolation here I know) of the game.

You’ll only get better at the game as a whole for doing so.

Exclusive PvE’ers don’t deserve extra treatment on top of what exclusives you already have; the PvP community has gotten diddly-squat. Even in the sad state that it is in, PvP is the only actual demonstration of any level of player skill (yes we’re all aware that this is arguable but the general basis still stands); the solution? Play PvP and get better. You won’t regret it whatsoever and that’s a promise.

I assume some people are scared of their self-assumed skill at the game being disproved, but it’s happened to all PvP’ers at some point and it’s only done us good.

That being said I play both PvP and PvE in equal amounts (with my heart closest to PvP of course).

People like you need to stop making this pvp vs pve. It’s not a competition. Why can’t pve have an exclusive armor set? All the reasoning pvpers are giving is that pvp deserves it more. What the heck? Why does that matter?

No one thinks pvp shouldn’t have exclusive armor. No one. But this whole “I’m a pvper we get nothing!” Which isn’t true (WvW gets nothing and I’m not even biased, I only pve and I can see how little they get) should not be the reason pve doesn’t get a grind exclusive armor we can work on. I mean… why is this about pvp versus pve? Why are we fighting? That’s so stupid.

Picking nits here, but the legendary weapons all require pvp to get them – so they’re not at all pve exclusive. (Yes, WvW is players fighting players, thus is PvP – not PvE though quite often it appears to be Player vs. Door)

Wrong, you get badges from Achievement chests. This hyperbola is out of place.

Just wanted to say: you can’t get WvW maps from achievement chests.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

To be fair, you actually were warned. Everyone was. It’s not really the Devs fault you did not heed the warnings because you didn’t read the announcements. Surely, you would not suggest they send you a personal email or something like that.

Pretty sure the KB states there isn’t anything CS can do, but perhaps you will get some kind of assistance as Legendaries are often exceptions to the rules.

Good luck.

I do not recall a warning about the transmutation splitters being removed from the store. They were removed a few weeks before the April 15th update.

I was lucky in that I bought my splitter when I transmuted my legendary for my low level alt, wanting to be SURE I could undo the change regardless of when I did it. But there was no warning about their removal from the store. People after it was removed were able to get them from support after a submitted ticket at least within the month that the feature patch hit.

Thanks for giving me shivers.
They’re gonna pull off another stunt and throw the game upside down, destroying any fun I had left in the game.
After the wardrobe I was so happy… so happy… and then…

Baby, come to my applied development lab so I can develop your definition of the word “filthy”.

May I join? Sounds…. quite…. fun.

Of course you can. Bring your mesmer though so I can… well. You know.

But when I have a sword/horn and LB war, a thief who’s camping shortbow and, who would’ve known, a GS-camping mesmer and they all didn’t bother to listen to advice then they have no godkitten right to QQ about Mai Trin being difficult.

Me not using GS on my mesmer at Mai Trin was apparently one of the reasons my former fractal group kicked me out … the other was refusing to use GS on the champ group (rabbit/shaman/ettin) in the harpy fractal …

There are (a lot of) people like that around, and they are totally certain they’ve got the game figured out and are playing the best possible way.

My first reaction upon reading this was “You can’t be serious?”. But you are serious. I’m with Novaan and deSade (and most likely 90% of the people here). This is just sad.

Well, to give them credit, they were the people who introduced me to dungeons in this game in the first place, and made me love this part of the game. I did my whole dungeon master title on my main account, and most of my 2nd account, with them, learned a lot, and had tons of fun.

It’s just that eventually I kept evolving past the point they were comfortable at. I like to try different things, learn to do things differently, and overall improve my way of playing. To them, the definition of a successful dungeon run does not depend on the time the run takes, but rather how often people are (not) downed. As such, me trying to learn to use the onehand sword on my mesmer or ranger made them uncomfortable.

It’s still sad. Even more so if you stay alive while going melee.

@Lilith: What prestige armor thread?

Sorry I don’t want you to contract eye cancer. #FriendsDontLetFriendsReadCancer

This makes me curious. I’m somewhat intrigued to search this thread, but at the same time I’m too lazy. kitten .

I mean you could check my forum posts and you’d find it on the first page lol. It’s in general discussion
