Guild Wars 2

Nah it wont be to big remember they not adding much map changes except for the new pvp map. I expect no more than 1GB or so if even if its that big.

Oki while I would like to see some of the gw1 armors make an appearance I just have say that dude looks like must be part of a 80s glamrock band

What will happen to headgear that doesn’t have an armor class before it’s used?
Like the crimson glowing eyes, or scarlet’s helmet?
Will the wardrobe have all 3?
What if we applied them already?

I wish to know this too.

I did send a pm to the one of the devs on this exact same issue. No awnser yet tho. I would like to know the same thing. Got 2 sets of scarlet shoulders and gloves used already and then the helm also used and the crimson mask not used yet.

You can check out the official vid on youtube gives you all the info on whats comming.

Well to be honest Id wait till the 15th if i were you loads of changes comming with the patch. You might pick something now just to find out something else might be more fun then.

Nah the op should not feel bad at least he picked up a precursor in that time ive played since beta and yet to find one precursor.

Looks like only people who pvp gets rewarded. First you get free charges acording to your rank and now unique skins aswell if this is gonna be true. This seems a bit unfair to people who don’t like to pvp.

You mean just like how PvE:ers get free charges for completing maps?

Sorry could not reply for 2 days due to downed internet. I think you misunderstood me there tho, Im not refering to map completion im refering to what is said in the blog post. When the 15th hit all pvpr’s gets free charges according to their pvp rank while non pvprs gets absolutly nothing. That seems hardly fair to me.

And anyone who hasn’t done map completion won’t get any charges either. Those who used to PVP exclusively, or mostly spent their time in PVP won’t get any charges from map completion (because they didn’t do any). Those charges are hardly “free” compared to exploring a few zones.

Nope its still unfair if you think about it a pve player gets 3 stones per zone if he is lucky = 1 charge a pvpr gets a charge for free no chance to get one they just get one. Don’t get me wrong tho i think everyone should be treated the same. Here is what i would have done. I would go according to Achivement points that way everyone benifits that put effort into the game not just one faction.

With the new trait changes you will be able to build yourself a healer type build just go have a look at the video about the april 15th trait and glyph and rune changes. I think the main concern here is that people don’t want to wait for hours to get into a dungeon and having a full blown trinity will cause that.

Nike.2631:

They’ve specifically said that acquisition of some skins will be a PvP-only process. You’re looking at one of them that will almost certainly fall in that category.

The ability to use the level 1-79 stones for level 80 gear is a positive improvement. Yes it does suck that we will burn through them faster during the low levels but honestly, how long is your average character not at level 80. I am normally very critical of arenanet but this is an over all positive change, even if the end goal is to get more sells in the gemstore.

Well I dont rush content I play my 4 alts atm and yes I transmute alot every 20 lvls or so i will change my armor look.

Yes people might not care if they just rush to 80 to do endgame stuff but there are actually some of us that like the journey and we like looking good doing so. The main thing here is why should low level folks be screwed like this while the rich lvl80s with all their gold wont have any issues. I can tell you one thing if this stays like this Ill probably never use the wardrobe at all. Heck i wont even bother making new caracters.

Don’t get me wrong anet might come out with a system that makes getting these charges not super hard and everything might just turn out ok. If Anet would just be a tad more forthcoming with info on this but ye nothing at all.

Ok… I don’t now you at all, and since I’m the one that started the complaint am obviously on your side, but I just have to call BS.

Of course you’ll use the Wardrobe. For one thing you won’t have a choice, but also it’s a really good system with a single niggling down side. To make the grand claim, “I won’t use this if it’s not changed the way I like,” helps no one.

This is not a attack on you so please dont take it as such. My concern is not the wardrobe i love the new wardrobe its the cost to use it. Believe me I won’t use the wardrobe it will just be easier and cheaper just to replace the gear and not bother with the wardrobe at all heck i wont even care what it looks like.

No offence but if you gonna go stack in a corner doing bosses like that what do you expect people gonna die. Blaming repair costs removal for people that die stacked in a corner is just silly. Heck do the boss the right way and at least try to avoid some of their attacks.

Decrypter.1785:

To answer some people questions : i think there is just one wardrobe now as there is no more pvp gear etc

this is a good thing tho as i unlocked a ton of pvp skins i never used since i dont pvp

I think the term “wardrobe” has been misleading. It has conjured up images of clear inventories and clicking on icons to change looks on the fly.

Harsh truth is nothing about transmutation has changed. You still pay like we’ve always done. It’s just a lot more streamlined and easier across the account.

Bottomline is, you pay to transmute your look. But then that’s how it’s always been. These waves of whine and groan should dissipate with time. (prolly the reason the devs are strangely silent on this thread)

Im afraid your incorrect the problem is not that we pay for the charges the problem is that we pay 3x the amount for low level caracters than we used to thats my cothencern as i have alot of alt and i constantly change looks. Now all my alts gonna look lame as heck

Valid concern. I’ve levelled up 9 chars and never bothered much about looks till lvl 80, but to each their own. Maybe anet can address this and maybe make one charge usable for 6 uses below lvl 80, but lets see what happens.

Yep the 15th is still a bit away Im sure anet will do right by their gamerbase

Heck I don’t have a legendary and this is not bothering me at all they worked for the skins let em have 200 of em its not affecting me. Why should it bother anyone else.

CyanPhoenix.2137:

The wardrobe system is great. No doubts about it. It solves a great deal of hassle for weapons/armors skins. However, to include legendary skins in it, is just thoughtless to those who spent countless hours in crafting an item to make their gameplay or a specific toon more enjoyable and “special”.

Being able to skin fake a legendary just kills the value and rarity of the item. And perhaps, on the long run, the game itself.

Is understandable this patch will benefit most those who started recently or the past 6 months. But i see no other reason than ANet turning a bit of a cold shoulder to its most avid, long dated players and target a wider market for more lucrative purposes. It is a business after all

I hope i’m wrong, thank you for consideration

I really don’t see your problem the people that will have the skin will be the people that made the legendary weapons so no one gets a free ride. What is the big deal here

If I as someone that didnt bother with legendary weapons got the skin in my list then your point would have been valid.

Oki I don’t have any legendaries at all just had one look at the process and said heck no to much effort. Just my oppinion

1. I say for those who crafted 2 legendaries give em some sort of compensation maby another legendary in its place. I really dont see why its a problem for some.

2. On the flip side for those that have made 1 whats the big fuss if they wanna deul weild 2 skins. Its not like its another legendary its just a skin and its a skin they went through tons of hard work to unlock.

everyone wins.

Oki im pretty tired of people speculating about how charges are gonna work, what the cost going to be etc. Come on anet you tell us to come ask our questions yet no one ever bothers to awnser any of em. For the love of cute quaggans just tell us already so we can move on now.

Like load of other folks I was happy about the wardrobe at first till i found out that i now have to fork out 3x the amount of stones to transmute a set for my caracters.

As an altoholic i like my caracters to look good right from the start and was able to transmute a set by doing 2 starter zones and collecting stones enough for a full set.

As of the 15th this is completely out the window as i just know i will not be able to affort those charges. So bye bye good looking alts and hello lame looking alts.

So for me what was suppose to be a friendly system made it totally unfriendly and unusable for me.

Don’t get me wrong tho if the charges are reasonably priced then sure but if they cost the same as crystals now its game over.

They are only more expensive if both of the following statements are true:
1. They are under level 80
2. The price of charges is greater than the price of stones

For item 1, it isn’t too difficult to ignore your character’s looks while they level. I know I do, which is why I’ve got 2 stacks of Transmutation Stones sitting in my bank. So while it could be true, it is also a short term matter since you won’t be sub-80 forever.

For item 2, we don’t know yet, but I assume that the charges will cost the same as the crystals, so it is probably true.

I understand your point of not being low level forever but it still screws low level folks. I have 4 alts in the 20s -50s range and I play em all so the progression to lvl80 is not gonna be that fast.

The concern is that this forces people to wait till 80 to really start messing about with the wardrobe. Whats the fun in waiting for something cool when i was able to use it before.

Anti.9156:

@Belzebu
i know no player can get me an answer i hope that maybe a dev can clear things up for me.

@morsus
I wont be too shocked either, but i think its leaves a bit of a bitter taste on this update.
But to be fair, before that update we couldnt do anything with the stones so the give us 3 to 1 convertion for free. Still i would be sad bc i deleted a whole stack of those

Oh no your mistaken with one of your comments I used tons of stones for low level alts. For me and any other altoholic those were of great use

I see you will be able to buy these charges right from the wardrobe page just wish they would give us a idea of cost

Howell Qagan.9752:

Haven’t read all 14 pages… but my concern is the following. Transmutation stones will be converted into a charge by threes. Ok. But for sub lvl80 items it will take 1 charge not 1/3. Why make transmutation more expensive for alts, when their equipment is temporary? Since many low level equipment just look terrible, this is a very unhappy change.

Exactly what i said a bit further up. Ive got a feeling I wont be using this at all.

What about armor pieces like the scarlet shoulders and gloves ? Since its not bound to class at the start what happens to those ? will it become unlocked to the specific class its used on or will any class be able to use it ? There is so many unawnsered questions about this think its time for anet to clarify on some of these questions.

Fenrina.2954:

Prophet.6257:

Have they announced if their will be a way to gain the wardrobe charges in game at a reasonable rate?

Short of farming a bunch of stones from map completion before the patch? No. We know little about how we’re getting these charges.

Yep this scares me a little as a person that like my caracters to look cool right from the start not being able to afford to make my new caracters all shiny kinda makes me sad heck i can barely afford to do a set atm with this its gonna be even more expensive. If there is no viable option for us poor normal folk to get these charges im afraid I wont be bothering with this wardrobe thing. Heck it will be cheaper just to buy the armor with a similar look at each 20 levels or so

I personally am not a Pvp dude and don’t really have anything againts dueling but when you are constantly bombarded by duel requests it gets annoying as heck. You know what im talking about just look at games like tera for instance you stand at the bank trying to do some stuff and a mass of pvprs just camping the area constantly wants to duel. A private duel area is a fine idea tho maby something like wvw but you and your buddy can enter and fight each other.

Substance E.4852:

Prophet.6257:

The cost to transmute a single piece of armor is going to be 7 gold.

125 gems = 5 Transmutation Stone
1 Transmutation Stone = 25 Gems
1 Wardrobe Charge = 3 Transmutation Stones (or 75 Gems)
1 Wardrobe Charge = 7 gold

So to change your entire outfit will cost you 35 gold each time. O_O
My math has to be wrong…

About the same as it costs now. And that is only to transmute new skins to armor pieces, not to equip new armor. Last I looked, it was ~9g per 100gems with 200gems buying you 5 crystals. You needed 6 crystals to transmute a whole set of gear so that would end up needing 400gems or ~36g to transmute a whole set with an extra 4 for any other gear you might want to change.

Thing that bothers me is this it never cost me 36g to transmute a low level full set heck 2 or so starter zones completed and i was able to at least transmute a set under lvl80 for a caracter now however i have to pay a fortune and contrary to popular believe not every player in the game have that kind of gold. Even tho the wardrobe system makes things easier i see less people using it really because of cost. Should have just left stones as it was 1 stone per lock for a low level item and 1 crystal per item over 80 that way you get the benifite of the new system and no drawbacks.

Osculim.2983:

This sound all good and nice but we need clarification on a couple of things

1. How are we gonna aquire charges ? Not all of us are super rich
2. How many charges to do a complete set on a caracter ?
3. Are we at least gonna start off with a set of charges to test out this system ?

1. How did you transmute items until now? With crystals. You’re gonna aquire the charges just like you aquired the crystals before.

2. Just like before, you need one charge / crystal to change one piece of armor. So, 6 for a complete set of armor, plus additional ones if you want to change the backpiece or weapon(s).

3. If you have trans crystals, they’ll be converted to charges 1:1. If you have trans stones, they’ll be converted to charges 3:1.

Even tho i appreciate your reply i would like to know exactly where the official post is you got this info from so i can read up a bit.

The thing that bothers me now is that i have to spend 3x as much to a set on a low level caracter as before. Also some info on the price of charges if bought from the gem store would be nice.

Another thing is say i buy a armor skin from the store its usually free to transmute to a set. What happens after the 15th will i be able to do it once on all my caracters ?

This sound all good and nice but we need clarification on a couple of things

1. How are we gonna aquire charges ? Not all of us are super rich
2. How many charges to do a complete set on a caracter ?

and i think store bought skins should be free to be used as wardrobe

No problem with the gemstore myself except. Why oh why do they feel the need to limit the selling time on weapon skins. I couldnt care less if a million other people got the same skin as me as long as i can get what i want.

Lambent.6375:

Not really, tons of people doing world events depending on the server and time.

Oh my that poor poor shaman. I bet he wished he stayed in bed this morning

One more shot at kasmeer’s staff aswell please I was low on cash when it came around. Ive got the cash and im ready to buy. Pretty pleeeease with sugar on top

I don’t know if this happened to anyone else. 150+ scarlet runs (lost count after 150) Stuck on a overflow see the " new build available will restart in 40min" message. We manage to finish of the knights and decide to kill scarlet one last time. I open the chest and almost fell of my seat there in my list of loot it sits. Scarlets rainbow. I could not believe what just happend. What is the chances of getting it after so many tries on the last ever try. Anyway just had to share my experience.

It was always Anets idea to make it possible for people to get items in different ways be it crafting, drops etc. If precursors drop from such events why not weapons like that.
I will add tho that making weapons in the forge is just way too expensive to begin with.
look at infinite light sword for instance about 800 or so gold just for the lodestones. and it end up costing more than a legendary on the tp. In my oppinion its a balance issue.

These people are so sad to be honest. Us mesmers have to do everything for em. What they can’t dodge a few boulders ? If you can get past that point without the help of a mesmer then you suck plain and simple. I would have left right there already.

1-50 yeah right im now on over 400 runs ive grinded enought bauble bubbles for all the skins ive got another 103 bauble bubbles in my bank and i havent had one drop there is no way in hell anyone is that unlucky. I smell bs a mile away and this is starting to stink really bad

I did enough runs to grind 4 weapons skins thats 100 chests and count em not one drop while my buddy had 3 drops in the same day

I also bought keys and got nothing from it i for one wont be annoyed if they sell it normally on the gem store. Its no one’s fault if you gamble with your money you knew what you were getting into. Instead of wating more money on keys id much rather buy a skin directly

5 chests = 1 ticket and one name change contract then i bought another 15 or so and got nothing all i want is just one more so i can get the bow aswell then ill be happy

Afk kill all world bosses i dont think so. Go afk during jormag and you will die thats a fact. Go afk during shatty and you will die. If your anywhere close to be able to hit the dragons you can sure as heck bet they will be able to hit you aswell.

even tho i wouldnt mind having a skill that gives us a constant speed boost like most classes i got pass that problem by stacking centaur runes on my armor as for underwater in my oppinion nothing beats a mesmer underwater.

I was one of the people that thought it was the end of the world. Thought it was just one chest over all the event per day but after reading that its one chest per boss per account per day i say its not that bad afterall. First it solves the overflow problem 2nd i will actually be able to play my alts a bit not having to worry bout farming these bosses nah all and all a good thing

This is a bit of a double edge sword for me even tho i welcome the change yo prevent the overflow situation it is cutting of my source of income completely. Now im not the richest guy out there mind you only have about 10g on my name but sure gonna miss making a income from those ectos each day.

If they make it that rares give at least one ecto then it be ok but chances are you wont get any at all. Another issue i see with this is as follows. Why do people do these events ye you guessed it loot can this not cause people to say hey ive done my one per day why should i bother to do another baltazar temple etc if im not gonna be rewarded for it causing these events to run dry that no one do em and you cant get enough people to do em eventually. I just hope in the end of the day its not gonna bite em in the butt

Oki so i know rare stuff will go to rare boxes first but lets say i pick up a blue item will it go into a open space in that box if the rest of my inventory is full ?

Thanx in advance

I think this might be the case my guild is on another server
Really hope they fix this problem its really frustrating not to be able to use any of the guild services

EDIT: transfering servers now to see if it works just hope i dont waste my money

A guild may have members on different servers but each server is responsible for generating its own influence pool and buying upgrades. So, for example, if your home server is Tarnished Coast but the rest of your guild is based on Blackgate – if you haven’t specifically upgraded the TC guild to have weapon and armorsmith vendors but Blackgate have you will not be able to access them.

This isn’t a bug, it is working as intended.

Whats the point while i was on my server they got my influence on the other server then it doesnt make sense if the pool of influence is supposed to be generated on my server. Not that i dont trust you but ive learned its better to actually
get this type of information straight from anet. This should be changed in my oppinion if its suppose to work like that the influence is there the upgrades have been bought why do we have to double upgrade doesnt make sense.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

I’ve heard of similar stories.

One other thing I have heard is that you sometimes can’t access guild vendors/banks if you are not on that guild’s home server. Not sure if you are on a different server or guesting somewhere.

I think this might be the case my guild is on another server
Really hope they fix this problem its really frustrating not to be able to use any of the guild services

EDIT: transfering servers now to see if it works just hope i dont waste my money
EDIT2: Transfering worked i can now access for anyone with the same issue

ye im positive we tested it other guildies can access with the same rank also the ones that cant just dit the represent switch and it worked but it doesnt for me at all

Oki so i know there is a bug that prevents you from access the guild vendors even if you have the rank to do so. Now i find myself in this situation.

So i started to look for a workaround for this and it says that if you represent your old guild and then back again to the new it should work and that you might have to do it on multiple caracters

So i went ahead took 2 hours to do that with all my caracters and it still doesnt work i event tried leaving and rejoining the guild. Do anyone find emselfs in the same situation ? Anyone have a fix for this ? Im getting really really frustrated. And this bug doesnt seem like its gonna be fixed anytime soon

Sorry for the wall of text but im frustrated as heck
