Guild Wars 2

1, there are Quite a few people asking for the same thing.
2, it would destroy the market for said weapons
3, it would be awesome.

so….. most likely wont happen

The market on the current low number dyes would skyrocket. if it was released that dyes were going to be account bound, everyone would cancel their sales and ramp up the price to some ridicules number.
you think 100g is too much for a dye? Imagine this hypothetical:
One person who has the money to buy all the current ones does, and then lists them at 1000+g each.
you really think it would help the issue?(making them account bound)
It would only help those who either, were lucky enough to get find them the normal way, or who already have them.

tl:dr
the average price on dyes would be raised massively.
they would be just as hard to get.

then it would be the same as the current cultural armors.

having class specific armor then having race specific just seems like a cool thing to do.

either follow members of your race, or your class.

I was just curious, out of all the fancy armor we can choose from, and all the special effects they have(COF armor for example)

Why cant we get the armors that are in the loading screens? (see pvp foefire, the guy with the red cape)

i mean, capes and armor is cool….. so are bowties…. and when can you ever walk past a fez?

but yer, instead of these new armors(flame touched) why not add armor that the concept art is pretty much done for?

it depends on the people you are fighting, the skill of the players, and the builds, for the most part, guardians get wrecked by warriors, just because they do everything better than us.. apart from the mass boons…

Use the bag called a “safe” this is exactly what it does.

Second thought… it could be “invisible”..

Not sure which one exactly…. but one of them DOES do what you are asking

haha for example, melandru karma armor and draconic legs on a asuran male has a gap between the two armors

honestly, i think the current fractles are dependent on the level for their rotation.
for example, I’ve had water first and pirate last about 9 out of 14? times for level 10/12

also, I haven’t had dredge yet, its the only one i need for the achievement grrrrr

just using the idea for it…. (i dont have the gold or laurals/relics to get it all)

Seems like it would be better for the most part, pushing that regen through the roof
and the Runes causing your heal skill to have a pretty substantial increase to its heal

although i prefer Dolyak runes for more personal survivability

1, this isn’t WOW
2, Causing a guaranteed drop from everything creates farming.
And we all know how that would end-up

Adine.2184:

I dont know about class specific stats . What would that be anyway ?

Stat combinations to match the core aspect of a class. (Primary/Secondary/Secondary)
For example, giving Guardians(healing power / Toughness / Vitality) armor
or (Vitality / Toughness / Power) to Warriors

I don’t know… armor based on the “main” stats for a class.
or just being able to have armors with different primary stats?

illo.5106:

Why? If I already have Eternity for my warrior and can use it now with my ranger and mesmer too – why should this raise the price? Indeed, many who plan to buy/forge a second one, can now simply use their old one, so the demand will go down.

Look at it like this:

If you don’t have one, and you want to get one, currently, you’d look at it like this “it costs that much to have it on one character”

If it was account bound it would be like this “it costs that much to have it on all my characters”

People have been willing to spend as much as it is, to buy it for one character, OF COURSE the guys who are selling them will raise the price if it becomes account bound, they would become so much more appealing if they could be used on alts as well without having to buy another one.
you wouldn’t have to look at getting another eternity, you would be looking at getting a different legendary for either a different setup or a different class.

if you just want to run as a guild, just get them to target you.
you “should” have the power to communicate with them to get it done.

a guild specific commander tag would be unnecessary, most people can get on TS, and those who cant, can read guild chat and having party targets called on the :commander" isn’t hard to see or set up.

Class specific stats would be cool too

spoj.9672:

Id rather see a rampager combo which has either power or condition damage as the main stat instead of precision.

A community vote would be nice, but even then, The strongest stats will get in, even just adding one of each stat permutation to each of the dungeons overall would be great.

anyone else got some feedback?

Umut.5471:

I can’t see any reason for them to be soulbound. That would help us play with different alts and different builds easier.

If you want it that easy: Why not give everyone 200 laurels and ascended gear when he creates a character? This would make it even easier to play different builds.

Ascended are just Legendarys for the poor, so making them tradeable makes no sense at all – then you’d remove the big disadvantage they have for being very cheap and easier to get compared to getting/making a legendary.

I think the OP was more aimed at leaving them account-bound(the trade-able was just an add-on).
The biggest reason that legendarys are what they are, is that they have on the fly changeable stats. you still have to grind for either of them, but storing one item is going to be easier than storing one for each permutation of the same item type for each of the selectable stat variations.

Sure, you could leave legendary as a soul-bound, but in the end, it wouldn’t change the overall achievement of getting one, they are still “end game weapons”. It would just make them alt friendly, which currently, is what A-net is doing across the board.
(see WvW exp, fractles, Gem store mining tools)

I think though, Soul-bound is more of an annoyance than anything.
You cant even infuse a ring on the character that you don’t plan on wearing it on.

Account-bound is just a “better” system, as it makes an armor set/weapon/accessory worth more.

If anything it would raise prices though, as one piece of armor is now sharable across all your alts, you’d only need to buy one of each stat permutation.

I was thinking about it, and considering there is a “Power/Toughness/Vitality”(Soldier’s) and a “ConditionDamage/Toughness/Vitality”(Dire) Why not have the other end of the scale?

I know it would be strong, but having a “HealingPower/Toughness/Vitality”(Stalwart?*) might be a little(understatement) “Bunker-ish” but you are sacrificing your damage stats.
now typically.. you wouldn’t want to do this, but on a guardian/warrior?

The stats would be awesome!!
I know that “Givers” is close, but really, givers is the “Valkyrie” equivalent of “Soldiers”
(strong in certain circumstances, but so is CD/T/V)

*Just an idea for the name

Congratulations AR, on your well deserved win and a very nice defense + offense.

I’ll set up a party, I only ask that we all bring feasts
(even parsnip is cool, they are cheap)

I love a good match up

Guess it truly is madness!!!!

A guardian can still complete the puzzle using “Leap of faith”
not sure on other classes.

Its not just the first gear, its all of them, the pistons to push you up all work, but none of the gears work.

Still nothing….

its the last jump puzzle i need…. I’ve done the rest….

Server : GOM

The achievement doesnt take long to get, im on GOM and there isnt a massive WvW presence, i mean, sure, on weekends we get an influx, but thats expected, on weekdays its typically the same 15 guys in TS all spread out being smart, sure, this week is going to get a few people down, but hey, tough weeks will do that (kitten those triple zergs)

i stopped playing for a good 6ish months, got back on and acquired my key within a week, that’s playing smart and just keeping with some good commanders (“The One Spartan”, “Certified Killa X” & “Grim Charazard” You guys rock!)

Just play smart and stick on the tags. it doesn’t take long.

BTW: getting the 4 JP ones makes things much easier, although i think over the couple weeks I’ve been back, I’ve managed to get pretty much all the achievements.

Population imbalance is something that attempting to balance a game around is ridicules, for example, if everyone has the have even numbers starting from a base number in WVW per borderlands then the low servers could just not have more people come in and the larger servers would have massive ques, and if you create buffs for the lower population people then they will be the far better roamers causing them to have an advantage in taking camps/stopping supply

You can’t balance something that depends on population. it either goes one way or another, so just leaving it alone is best.

Gizmo……. wouldn’t happen to know some twins in Victoria?

just wondering on the best class for damaging large groups/guards/lords enough to get loot bags?

Personally there are a fair few of the PVE “commanders” that jump on WvW and take all the numbers as people aren’t reading the tags they are following…

GOM seems to get this quite a lot in EB, but overall people do seem to get that more than 2 people tagging up seems to be a decent negative

Time to change from zerk… WvW you need more health, and toughness.

some damage is fine, but if you are running in a zerg, having those numbers makes individual damage less powerful.

I’m currently running Boonway guardian. although I’m going to start leveling my Mesmer as i prefer the class.

Neeho.3859:

There are much more pressing issues in wvw than getting your common helm or tattered leather.

Shame if you missed your pre-courser or keg of exp, that would suck.

Would be awesome to also autoloot while on siege…. sometimes there just isn’t time to waste on bags…

Wasting supply is something that every server deals with.

there was an idea that came up on TS the other day
“guilds reserving supply once an objective is claimed”
but that could end-up terrible if a guild claims, then leaves.
