pacific time on the 22nd
It does not matter which experimental envoy armor weight class you get. You can still make whatever legendary armor weight class. I think it is the 2nd tier on that matter towards your legendary armor.
I just do not know if you get the legenary (say heavy) set of armor if you also end up getting the previous ones as well if say you decided on getting the light/med exp. armor on tier 1.
They should add Scarlet’s veil as an achievement for completing certain things in here. (So sad I missed that bit).
Yeah, I’d like it if they reworked aegis to not do that. It should be shown on several classes for a preview.
Well, you have shown us the a couple pics but there’s nothing better than an actual video of the weapon in action.
If I get the light experimental envoy armor and make the Heavy legendary armor will I get all the heavy skins preceding the heavy legendary armor?
I understand that you are teaching to learn skills but beginning staffies, beginning eles that want to use staff will be flummoxed on what to use in their traits. You say start out as bunker staff to stay alive and learn how to use your staff skills and utilities but at the very least having a section on traits and how to put them too good use with your skills would be a great help towards learning this difficult class weapon.

Read and watched your guide and I enjoyed it. There are a few things that I would have liked to see that haven’t been in there. Such as: When to use certain conjured weapons against the other teams group comps, like do you always use LH if a thief is on the other team etc. and possibly some builds, beginner, medium, expert explaining why the particular traits, utilites would be used. A nice foundation to get beginner staffies started would be great

I bought this outfit because I liked the look of it. I hadn’t even noticed the ground effect it had till I had used a Strawberry Ghost. This has become one of my favorite looks in-game now just because of the effect. Those creepy grasping hands are awesome. It is something that I would love to see on a legendary weapon. Like a shield that shows the mists and creepy silhouettes walking towards you with these grasping hands as a foot fall effect.
Eh, either way thanks for making this outfit it was a great addition.
Any chance of a similar PvP build to test out?
I honestly thought they would have made this a fractal.
As great as the backpiece is, it is not just about that. It is about the lore it represented as well. There was great lore in doing that collection which is now gone and needs to be put back. I loved making the Mad Memoirs. I did my first mini dungeon with it at the northern part of Gendaren fields. I enjoyed searching throughout LA looking for the ghosts that told their grisly tales of what happened to them while making the book. It was, all of it, a great bit of lore that I have missed and hope somehow they put back in this Tuesday. I know there are ghosts that need to be placed in other parts now due to the areas replaced but I hope they are. I hope we i get to do this again because it is what made Halloween and Mad King Thorn all the better. Right now I doubt most people even really know about him. They just see him as some comical villain and that’s it. There is no real context behind him unless you read up and wiki him. I was sad they never really continued this story either. It really would have been fantastic.
I wouldn’t mind some OLD Halloween content. Remember the Mad Memoirs book and the quests you had to do to get it? Bring that back anet. It was a really good bit of lore to boot.
Only thing I am sad about is that they did not preview the other races with it. Am still dreading seeing Asurans with their side toes sticking out….
yeah, howler needs a major update. The sound effects need to be more distictive. Maybe more like it was before when you used a skill even afterwards the howling would continue for awhile. Perhaps instead of seeing a partial wolf head that vanishes within half a second you should make a full ghostly wolf/wolves flocked and howling that then run forward and vanish into mist. And the foot prints are non existent. They should be large ghostly wolf paw prints when you walk. I do though, like the mist/fog that surrounds us that should stay.
Legendary weapons and armor (and jewels if they ever get made) should be able to have their sigils and runes interchangeable. The journey to create them and the cost of them should give legendaries more than just stat changes, it should let them be apart from everything else.
Pretty soon with legendary armor we will be able to switch stats on them BUT this will still be limiting since if you want to say, go from zerker stats to condi ones you still have to buy the runes to replace the what you were using with the zerker. This also occur with weapons. It gets to be more and more costly and it would seem better to save the time and cost of making a legendary and just make a bunch of ascended armor and weapons instead.
Thank you Ayrilana. With that tiny clue, I went west going around to the smallish “mountainside” north of the words Laughing Gull Island. Had to go from one hill to a small ledge that allowed me to jump further onto the mountaintop. From there I glided to the ship w/o being ported and was able to get both the POI and HP. Once again thanks Ayrilana.
I have never seen it link me a video of someone getting around it. Needing to wait for an event to happen to get through something sure I can accept that for maybe 30min – 1hr but an event that if it fails you have to wait another possible 2 hours to do is preposterous.
Not that I am aware of, every time I try from any angle to get to that ship I get ported out.
@CMM, Yes I do, guess what this particular event has a port that is surrounding the entire area. So this is a no go. If you do not believe me give it a shot. And if you show me the way around it (not just simply be there saying use a port to friend) but actually show me how to get around it then I’ll take back my words and look more like a fool than I already do.
@Inculpatus cedo you’re right I could do other things and I am but that doesn’t make up for the fact that I have to wait 2 hours for an event. Not everyone has that kind of time or perhaps this is all they have to do in order to finish getting their gift of exploration, etc.
Well, you gotta show me where then, because I have never found it. And that “Small window” where you cannot get in is 2 hours long. Atm I have been waiting here trying to get through it for the past hour.
True, now that I think about it, Balthazar HP in HoT is gated but it is still no where near a 2 hour wait to get it done.
I have not had any problems with Heart of Thorns maps all of them I have been able to get bypass places with gliding or simply finding a different route to finish map comp. I have finished them 3 times at least.
No, you get ported as soon as you get to a certain point. And, honestly I think that this would be an easy fix of just removing that port. to get around it.
Taidha Covington. On the Island of Laughing Gull this is an event you have to wait a possible Two Hours before you can get in to get a Hero Point and POI. This has been a long time coming but it is absurd that one should have to wait for an event to do this. Sadly if you do not end up in a map that doesn’t even get the gate down you are out of luck for a long while. There is an event here that seems to help with this a bit with Risen overthrowing the place but I have rarely seen it.
How is it that this one Hero Point and the POI near it have not been placed elsewhere? It seems asinine to have to wait to finish map completion due to a time gate.
WvW is a form of player vs player. To that extent it only seems fair that it should be added to the PvP tracks as well. Unfortunately, I doubt this will happen. Maybe from their logic keeping it a WvW track only forces ppl to try WvW and who knows maybe those ppl will enjoy it. I do not really enjoy it myself it just seems like a constant tug-of-war which eventually gets dull especially since it is usually the server/s with the largest amount of players that tends to win it. Gift of Battle SHOULD be added to the PvP track list… oh well.
Gonna hate this bow if it has that long piece of string to pull the arrow. Really anet, please make that string a bolt of lightning when u pull it. And, if this turns out to be a legendary, please let it shoot bolts of lightning.
An added inventory slot would be nice. I’ve heard tell of people wanting past Black Lion Weapon skins to the gift this go round. Like the dye kit you get to choose from a selection of several types (fused skins would be nice to see again).
when I saw the glider-r-tron I was psyhed. Then I got it. And it does not talk…. This is really disappointing. I would have thought it would have been like the others of its kind saying stuff like: “Are we there yet?” or do some backseat gliding “We’re going the wrong way. This is heading to the mobs!” “Take a left here. No left, my left. error my right.” “We are falling…. slowly.” and other such things but it does not. Sad days. Can I get a refund if this is how it’s gonna be?
So, for the most part I like this chest you can get in each map once a day. And for the most part the best item to get is the amalgamated gemstone. But, what if you needed say bottles of Airship Oil, or leyline sparks, auric dust? Looking at this once a day chest getting a single. Solitary. One. Is not worth the cost of what else is in here. The amount we can now get from one of the regular chests you loot such Airship Cargo, etc. tends to give you one if not more than.
My suggestion is simple. Why not give 30- 50 of these account bound items instead of 1? Then it becomes worth getting like the other items within.
Kinda sad. We need new faces. Especially the asura ones. Tired of creepy goth doll type faces on the females. Whenever I see an asura they almost always have the same face which is one you can choose from the original set.
In almost all the shoes Asuran wear they have their side toes sticking out. I have never gotten used to this. I am glad that a few of their sets have their shoes Asuran specific. To my horror, when I looked at the legendary armor on my Asura there they were again poking out of shoes designed for their five toed buddies. Even the charr get shoes specifically for them. Why can we not have those Asuran feet fully covered? Like most of the shoes out their it looks like a very bad clipping issue. Would be so bad for the armor creators to put in a bit of effort here? You do it for charr why not Asura?
And don’t spin me this malarkey about it being some kind of Asuran lore to have their toes out in the open for better balance or other such bupkis as most of their cultural armor have all their toes covered up and the ones that aren’t are wearing shoes specifically designed for them. The legendary armor should be the same. It. Is. Legendary. Armor. Put in a bit effort won’t you?
yeah, that worked thanks.
I am unable to use this recipe. Tried all sorts of placements for it but whenever I put in the philosopher’s stones it does not accept it.
Legendaries. Oh, wait, they decide to put a halt on the new ones…. Nearly done with making Nevermore after that I haven’t the slightest idea.
@ PlagueParade.
Yea you could say i resent them, in fact if it would be possible to physically hurt them id do so cause they ruin the amount of added skins for actual fashion wars and with that quite a lot of my playtime of gw2 so much. Just look at how many armor skins we get nowadays. But thats not my issue with legendary outfits. The issue is they said armor skins are in game rewards and for christs sake leave the in game rewards skins ONLY else we get flooded with that cancer even at the few rewards we do get. I can only speak for myself but i think if you earn your legendary armor then you should wear it as armor and NOT parade it arround as the defiled corpse of fashion wars. If the op cant bear to use skins then he just should slap one of the many outfit cancers over it and call it a day.
No, all my toons wear mix-match armor skins I prefer them over outfits for sure, though I have bought a few outfits as well when I want to mix it up.
But, in what way did I say you wouldn’t EARN the legendary armor? You do that period. There is no way, nor should there be, you should not be able to get legendary items (armor, weps, etc) any other way than earn them in game. You are still earning the legendary armor by doing Raids and crafting the legendary components and would be able to mix and match them with any other armor piece out there. Adding the outfit along with the armor set though is making it that much more enjoyable. So you can enjoy it on all your toons rather than the one weight class. I want to enjoy the armor I make on all of my toons. I want to make and probably most likely will make every legendary armor set they have. I would still like to enjoy them on any toon as an outfit as well as be able to mix and match the armor skin pieces to any other set as well. An outfit is just a way to enjoy it all classes not of that weight class. And yeah, you can’t mix-match an outfit but I am pretty sure most people will like the legendary armor set they make as is as well. I mean when I make that armor set I will wear it as is for awhile before I probably mix and match it. But it would be great to be able to enjoy it on all my toons and not just the one weight class.
Because, you will have spent a lot of time and money making it. Why should you just enjoy using it on a single weight class? Our legendary weapons can be used on multiple weight classes, why not the armor as well (in this case with an outfit, mind you still have your legendary armor with the stat changes and such just you get an outfit of the same armor you made for your other toons to enjoy)? I personally would make all of them to enjoy.
@ Basaltface it seems to me that you just resent outfits altogether rather than the idea of legendary armor having an outfit version as well upon completion of making the armor. Yeah, GW2 does put out a lot of outfits and not enough armor but in this case I do not think it would be a bad thing. You would NEVER be able to buy these outfits in the gemstore nor be able to acquire them any other way other than making the legendary armor.
@ Andraus, yes this. Please read my post more closely. You get the armor when you make stat changes and all. PERIOD. IN ADDITION to this, make that LEGENDARY armor set you made into an outfit AS WELL. So you can enjoy it on more than 1 weight class. This is a lot of work for one legendary set. Why not be able to enjoy it on all your toons as an outfit as well. No matter the weight class.
I believe they talked about the legendary armor being the average cost of any other legendary. The difference between them though is the armor will be bound to the weight class. At least I believe they would make one legendary set of armor PER weight class (3). Why not get an outfit of the legendary armor weight class you made along with it? If I make the light legendary armor why not be able to enjoy it on my medium and heavy classes as an outfit as well?

Please. Pretty please with a cherry on top, make Scarlet’s Veil an Item you can get in the gemstore. If not there then please put it with the rest of the living story year 1 items you have re-released in the Laurel Vendor.
@Critwrench Yes that is exactly what I mean.
I think this would also make people want to go for it even more. Making a set of legendary armor will be a lot of work anyhow why not be able to let any class that you have wear the particular weight class armor set you made as an outfit? You can enjoy it all the more.
FIRST OFF,
I am not saying they should make legendary armor an outfit for everyone to get, not at all. What I am suggesting is: the people who make the legendary armor (say the heavy set) also get the set as an outfit. So three different outfits in total, one for each weight class. There are times when I would love to have my heavy set on a medium class or a light set on my heavy, etc. It would be great if the people who make the legendary armor could get them as outfits as well.
Not that I have ever been aware of. I bought that ghastly grinning shield when it first came out year 1 could have sworn it was a skin not a wep.
So, I looked at the Greatsaw greatsword skin a min ago and to my surprise I saw two different ones for sale. The Greatsaw Greatsword Skin and Greatsaw (which is a masterwork Item not a skin).
How is that possible?

Here’s a video I just found on the new legendary bow. Enjoy.
In SAB lobby and world one I have around 80-90 fps but in world 2 (even when I just enter the building) I get 19-22 fps. Others in my guild have reported the same thing.
Likewise I have almost all of the SAB original skins and none of them are showing for the rare collection.
I’m more shocked by the fact that there are two of them…
(or is the name is just two words?)
More likely, one is the precursor and the other the legendary
Over the years in GW2 we have seen a lot of items that were related to living story that were placed in the laurel vendor, most in fact. So, how come Scarlet’s veil has yet to be one of them? It has been a long while since her end why not allow this to be purchasable with laurels or even sell it in the gem store?
I love the Dreamer, I think it’s hilarious. But then I also use it on my ranger in spite of it apparently being useless so my opinions seem to be quite different to most people on this forum.
But it seems to be one of the most devisive legendaries (people either love it or hate it) so having an alternative seems like a good idea.
Whereas there are 2 legendary Greatswords already (3 if you count Eternity as a separate skin) and they’re some of the most popular of the whole lot so even if more professions use them I think there’s less demand for new ones.
Yes but most classes use the greatsword. I would have been fine with sword or shield, even torch is used by nearly half the classes same with dagger both of which are used in all 3 weight classes to boot.
This isn’t just because people either like or dislike the dreamer it’s about the fact that ONLY 2 classes use it both in medium and honestly thief has a better use of it. And I used to use SB on my ranger in pvp a lot before the trait system got changed and enjoyed it.
They should pick a weapon that most classes use not one that most don’t even touch and only one that puts it to good use.
