On the schedule:

• It is not written in stone. We will adjust it as necessary.
• There’s lots of ways to go about this, but the current thinking is that it would be more convenient to plan for specific daily times rather than have a “sliding” rotation. We felt this was particularly necessary for larger events like the Triple Wurm and Tequatl.
• Although the old system had certain advantages, it had some major disadvantages as well:
  • Although non-scheduled events are more dynamic, you have a low chance of encountering events with long cooldown periods. Although it was originally thought that big events would be happenstance and rare opportunities that players would stumble on and become immersed in, we found that many players enjoy this type of content as a mainstay of their GW2 experience. When they can’t access that content regularly, we have a problem.
  • On the other hand, you may be aware of the external event tracking sites and have been using them play on regularly basis. This is a good approach in concept, but there’s some major pitfalls if you miss an opportunity to play because of a new build or encounter an overflow server.
• The intent of the schedule is to:
  • consistently provide access to large scale content for players who want to play it
  • deliver that content in such a way that players can plan and organize to prepare for it
  • help ensure that there are always enough participants in the content
  • help ensure that there is always enough server capacity to for all of the participants regardless of overflows, megaservers, etc
• There are still and will always be a large number of meta-events and bosses that are not on the schedule.

At some point, we would also like to introduce a messaging system in-game so that it’s always clear what world event content you participate in without having to utilize a resource outside of the game. I have no guarantee or ETA of when we might actually see this though.

You literally didn’t read a word we wrote did you? How does changing the bosses to a 6 hour schedule mean that I’m MORE likely to play them?

Honestly, he wrote a lot of stuff but didn’t really said anything… What about our concerns on WP fees, limited timed to play (missing most of the events), economy in the game and all other stuff that has been discussed here?

Is this Dev for real or a troll trainee took control of his computer while he was in the bathroom??

Asmodeus.5782:

Plus, they used the word ‘exciting’ thrice in the last 2 announcements again. Yay.

But this is absolutely true! i’m now very excited to try other things than GW2, the goal is still the same, players having fun!

/sarcasm

Enzo.3906:

No matter how much we complain, Anet has already went full steam ahead with this. There is no way they can change this and remove the scheduled metaevents. Very, very disappointed with this move.

This is the end of GW2 to me. I was in a good hype with the game, new WvW season, ending of the LS and many other things, but i can’t take this Big Server thing. As i said before, i don’t want to play EVE online (only 1 server where you basically have to make gold to do anything), and oh, that’s exactly why i quit EVE after 3 months.

Minami Kaori.2548:

And don’t tell me that repair kit being free balances that out. No, it doesn’t. I very rarely die from enemies in PvE, and I don’t play much WvW at all. Even when I do, I roll with the zerg.

And it really doesn’t because they are nerfing the champ bags, which means that in general we will spend more gold and receive less. A-MA-ZING.

No matter how you look at it, this last update is totally awful..

Guilds starting top-tier bosses as they wish… reminds me of some other games and a little thing called “raids”, which brings the monster called “progression” that destroys the game for every non-robot-i-want-to-be-the-best-of-all player…. and here i thought GW2 was good because it was different from said games….

The thing that made me quit WoW was the fact that we had strict times to Raid and do some progression, and now the same is happening with GW2.

Time to give a shot on those new releases for 2014, cause now i can see that nothing really good will ever come, bad choices will always overcome the great news.

GG Anet, GG

I totally HATE this changes on world bosses. I have around 3 hours to play everyday (mon-fri, on weekends i can barely log on) which means that i will no longer be able to complete almost all world events as it is today, which means less gold, which means it will take much more freaking months to craft a legendary. You already nerfed the gold received from champ bags without any good reason, and now you are even lowering our chances to get them. Do you ANET really want us to do freaking stupi, meaningless, boring, annoying CHAMP train farm in FG and QD? I mean, seriously? It has been hard enough to me to craft my first legendary with the limited amount of time that i have to play (thanks precursor RNG), with these changes that you have just announced, i feel like being forced to spend money on gems to convert to gold, otherwise i won’t ever be able to finish my freaking Incinerator.

One more thought: You gave us the Wardrobe which would “save” money/gold from us with one time buying skins, and now you want us to spend the same money/gold to get anything else related to gold in the game?

I was pretty happy with all announcements up until now, but this last one just made me realize that GW2 is not the game i want to play anymore. This is not EVE online, come on, i don’t want to play a “monetary” game, i just want to do the stuff i was supposed to be enjoying while aiming for a goal (legendary for example).

Dahkeus.8243:

Yea, I definitely think the Radiant looks better on most gear sets, but if you want to see a good armor mix that works with the Hellfire stuff, check out the set that Killchained has:

WoW!, that’s amazing! however, i main medium/light armor classes (teef and ele) and the Radiant skins looks definitely better on them.

Thanks for sharing this video tough, very nice =)

Aw, that’s sad =(

It took me almost 7 months to get to 6k AP, i will probably not be getting close to 12k soon =(

Yo Guys!

So, i’m getting close to 6k AP now and will have to choose between Hellfire or Radiant skins again. Sad thing is that i regret choosing Hellfire for the Gloves , cause the shoulders are just ugly as hell (get it?). With that being said, i ask: is there any way to “re-choose” those skins? Even if it’s a once in life change i don’t mind, i just want to get rid of my Hellfire and get the Radiant skin.

P.S.: sorry if it is a repost, the search functionality of the forums ins’t that great >.>

Hi all,

I want to know if it will possible to transmute acquired but deleted skins. What do i mean with that? I have an example: i deleted my toon which had the Mad King book backpiece skin. Will it be * unlocked * to me when the Wardrobe system goes live? Or i really lost that skin forever and ever?

~~Thanks!

Mad Pig.2890:

It would sure suck for anyone with dual Incinerators. I can count a few already. However, I suppose that while the time is present using a transmutation splitter and selling it would be worth doing now.

I know the feeling, my first objective was to have 2 incinerators, now i realize i’m not gonna have any. QQ

CrossedHorse.4261:

Does transmuting a legedary skin soulbind the weapon to your character?

Only, since people can now transmute any weapon (of the same type as their legendary) to have a legendary skin, will we see “legendaries” going up for sale on the TP? Clearly, they wouldn’t sell at legedary prices as the description will remain the same (or am I wrong???) but can other people buy the “look”? That might be a little worrying.

I don’t think so, it will probably Soulbind the Weapon to your character.

courin.2314:

One thing to keep in mind – with the Wardrobe, you don’t actually get unlimited legendaries – you just get the skins.

So the ability to change stats of your legendary while out of combat will not apply to the ‘re-skinned’ legendary. Nor will it have base ‘ascended’ stats unless you use an item with ascended stats and put your legendary skin onto it.

So, it might LOOK like that thief is running with Dual Incinerators, but both might just be skins, and they might be green base weapons.

That’s the goal, lol.

People usually craft Legendaries for their skin/effect (look at Incinerator, it’s a freaking lighter with a fire-blade and flame footprints, totally kitten!!!), so if it’s cheaper to have the looks, the better it is!

Fiddle Irk.9710:

What really gets to me is not the rarity of precursors and ascended chests, but how imbalanced to luck is. Happy for the folks that get one but It really kinda ticks me off when people get when people get two, three, four or more, yet I’ve been playing since shortly after release and never gotten one. Try to spread the love around a bit Anet!!!

An old guildmate of mine had not only 2 or 3, but 21!!! Precs drops/crafts over 1 year of gameplay, it was just ridiculous (B L U R R Y, you might know him).

Minami Kaori.2548:

ScoakaLegs.1406:

I hear you on the bad luck. I have been playing GW2 since Beta. I have used the forge (as some have to aide in acquisition of a precursor), have been a consistent game player, and yet no precursor drop. I understand they are a rare drop, but seriously?! Please adjust this drop rate Anet.

Exactly the same here. I’ve been playing since beta as well, and for example a guildmate of mine had several precursor drops and he now has 3 or 4 legendaries. I have never had a precursor drop, and I can probably count how many exotic drops (this doesn’t count map completion) I had since I’ve been playing. Hint: not many.

Hell, only a couple of days ago I put 4 blue quality minis into the forge, and the result was the mini I put in

My game luck is horrid, and has been since betas.

I really wanted to make Bifrost, but with this kind of luck, I gave up as well.

That’s more or less what happens with me, i’ve been farming world bosses for more than 15 days now and i know that i got something like 3 or 4 trash exotics (which i salvaged to get the sigil/rune :/)

Shifu.4321:

I think the opposite might happen. It will drop since people who want 2 legendaries of the same kind won’t need to make another one, and those who want legendaries on multiple characters will only now just need to transmute, drying up demand.

I don’t think so, now more and more people will be encouraged to craft legendaries, as they only have to craft it once and all their characters will have it.

Hello all, i want to share my thoughts about what is happening now with the announce of the Wardrobe system:

With this new wardrobe system (which i loved, no complaints at all about the concept) we are also able to have Legendary skins on all characters, is it good? hell yeah for those who already have them, for people like me which are in the process of crafting their very first Legendary this is not but a Nightmate. Why i say this? Because now precursos price are rising freaking fast, take Spark as an example (im going for incinerator), yesterday it was 670g, today after the blog about the wardrobe it raised to freaking 780g! 110g in less than 12 hours! This is freakingly stupid! I like the idea of what you have to do to craft a legendary (play every single aspect of the game), but relying on an World drop item to be able to finish it is non-sense (specially now). Give us players a solid way to get the precursos (grinding, farming, w/e, you name it) otherwise it is going to be impossible for anyone with bad luck at drops just like me to craft his own Legendary (btw: 8 months playing and i haven’t even seen any Prec dropping “near” me).

Please Anet address this up, otherwise one of the “objectives” of the game will be dead for most of us.

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I’ve been playing WvW on my Thief for 6 months with D/D only, i’ve even built my ascended armor around that (valk+dinivity runes). The problem is that im growing quite bored with this setup and would like to change a bit, but i couldn’t easily find some viable builds here in the Thief’s forum.

So, my request from you guy is: Some S/D builds (which i could still make use of my asc valk amors), D/P and P/D builds. Any help will be very welcomed!

My other goal with this topic is to have a central point for builds to help other fellow Thieves which are also having problems to find/discuss builds (as the sticky Topic for builds is quite dead).

~~Thanks!

What: Pistol Whip
Why: Due to their poor childhood, thieves were not able to eat properly and develop strong bodies, thus making it impossible for them to swing a sword so many times with only one arm without getting tired (or even lift the sword in the first place)
Suggestion: Make it so that it requires two thieves together to hold the sword and properly swing it.

Hello guys, i just wanted to know if there’s anyway to obtain the Wind Catcher Skin than buying it from the TP. It’s price is currently at 138g and increasing. I just can’t afford that.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

7/10 – Just because i don’t like “common” real life names as a character name, however, Crowngarde sounds really bad-kitten =)

Watari Higarashi – Human Thief. I’ve been using Watari (death note reference) since my very first online game, which was MU Online, 8 years ago! The Surname comes from a mix of Japanese names that i enjoy =)

Is it possible to transmute the Slickpack to another character? As far as i know there’s no white backpack available in the game (only the Universal Multitool Pack from Engineers).
Would you guys know any way to do this?

Yes!!! Finally! I’m having a lot of fun and all I read is people complaining.
The cutscene was awesome and I had fun with the dungeon (despite some bugs).
I just want more Mad King Says! =)

I’m loving Halloween so far, but I have a doubt: is the event (decorations, NPC dialogues, etc) going to happen only in LA, or is it going to be global?
Of course there should be a central point to it, but I’d love to see The Grove (my hometown) more in touch with the holidays.

I just had to say: Congratulations, senoph!
