Guild Wars 2

This does the exact opposite of encouraging players to play on more than 1 character!
and i think Beorn explains pretty good why:

Beorn Saxon.4762:

This way, if I play wvw for 16 hours across 4 characters they’ll each have a noobier title and less wvw perks than someone who plays wvw for only6 hours on one toon.

This stinks.

It does not incentivize ppl to level many alts in the long haul, bc as soon as I start leveling an alt, I drop way behind folks that only play one.

I HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION:

Make the exact same jumping puzzle in PvE just without badges and bluprints as chest loot!

It’s called Badge of Honor and the legendary gift you get with it is called
Gift of BATTLE !!! —>you have to fight for badges!

So with the exact same jp in PvE all the people who argued they cant do the jp and cant have fun doing it alone and slowly like they want or however can do it then… they just shouldnt get the WvW-reward badges because they are reward for fighting enemies!

…WHY are all people expecting free PvP loot without doing PvP for it??

shouldnt it still be possible to put it into forge as an exotic then?

i have the feeling they fixed it for every weapon but Warrior greatsword….
(and ele gs because its the same animation like warrior greatsword)

Why?

…I like turtles..

to answer your question: yesterday at daily Mining Run with guild

They give make EVERY weapon look like a legendary one and the legendaries look like lvl 1 starter weapons

edit: i think this would be very useful for people to see how the legendaries REALLY look like on their char and how for example juggernaut effects their armor …. preview is not always satisfying … (for example juggernaut has no armor effect in preview)

Aikawa.8726:

“I really hope this was unintended.”

So do I.

It really feels like having corrupted weapons. Not that I find them horrible but well… If I knew from the beginning that it wouldn’t glow I wouldn’t have crafted those weapons…

It’s like buying an iPhone 5 then you realize it’s just an iPhone 4.

“I feel sort of cheated….”

That is EXACTLY how I feel right now.

Isnt Iphone 4 just the same like Iphone 5? HAHA

….I feel so bad for you…. sometimes you cant even see the Greatsword and the only thing you can see is theglow around the “Vision of the Mists” Greatsword….

maybe they did it because legendaries too have their specialeffects only when wielded
and its not fair that non-legendaries which are a lot cheaper have effects while not used and legendaries dont…

renss.5764:

i agree. just like the warrior, the discription of the warrior is that they rely on heavy armor, power and SPEED. well the only way to passive movement speed is a 10% speed boost when holding melee weapons… ugh.

… Warrior is fastest movement class in game (in noncombat – in combat its not fastest anymore but still very good)
easy permanent swiftness + 4 Movement skills
and you dont need the 10% run trait for that…i never use it because i have perma swiftness anyway in noncombat mode and in combat mode i have still 65% of time swiftness…

masterdesh.8943:

Are those real items or just wishful thinking orange? and if real where?

of course real items… and if you are willing to spend gold then you can get even more consumable like teleportation gun / sylvari tower / Medipac / Rocks that are usable in WvW/ …

you can find them all over the world at some Karma Merchants or other npc merchants you just have to talk to everyone while you do world exploration.

i think i can remember most of the merchants …maybe i will do a topic one day with all consumables i know and where to find them… but you can also go to Wiki and you will find some of them there…
or you can just ask me ingame when you dont want to wait until you find them by yourself^^

There are tons of (useful) consumables and tonics for Karma… just search them all around the world
(consumables that give the possibility for permanent stealth / knockback all the time / permanent knockdown/ permanent stun/ chance to inflict weakness / give you torches —> useful Darkroom in WvW with invisibility / etc. etc….)

i have already tested it with a guild mate… we did a race^^
in non-combat mode Warrior is faster for sure
super easy permanent swiftness With Signet + Warhorn and the Warhorn cures crippled, immobilized and chilled
+ 4 Movement Skills:
Sword – Savage Leap (skill 2)
Greatsword – Whirlwind Attack (skill 3) + Rush (Skill 5)
+ Bull’s Charge
in addition to that: if you run Shout Warrior you can easily remove all the conditions that slow you down in case you get in combat

but in combat mode ele is faster because warrior has cooldown on weapon swap then while ele has always the same cooldown for attunements switch..

And Stealth is really no big advantage in PvE because EVERY other class can use consumables to get their skill points or to rezz their allies in stealth without wasting any skill

Very interesting! I haven’t seen the Warrior brought up often as a contender for best movement.

Out of curiosity, which professions did you race against and was it across a zone with mobs or just a flat out race in a city?

Also I’m not that concerned with getting Skill Points themselves, but rather clearing the challenges for map completion which is why I’m asking about the best profession for exploration.

I only did a Race versus Ele but im pretty sure that thief isnt faster (only 25% faster run by signet and the shortbow teleport or the daggerskill 2 but you can only use 1 of these because both need your initiative…)
we did it in WvW Borderlands on a very long distance without any mobs or other enemies…

Like i said i think as soon as you are in combat warrior is not the fastest class anymore
…still permanent swiftness but only movement skills from Sword or Greatsword (maybe with the warrior trait that reduces weapon swap cooldown for 5 seconds you can still use both weapons effectivly while in combat)
but i think ele has a small advantage in movement then (but considering control effects and conditions warrior may have an advantage because he can have more condition remove witht he right build and he can have easy stability with a trait + a skill)

but i dont think it makes a big difference if you only need it for world exploration (i would just take the class that i want to play ^^)

do you have 7 runes?
1 for your Aqua breather??
you dont use your helmet underwater so you need 1 on your aqua breather

ah right… didnt think of that

because of the sigils that give you special boosts for weapon swap

i think every shield skin is in there

plush griffon…
you can use a skill that causes 5 seconds fear with only 5 seconds cooldown
