Guild Wars 2

With the new craftable back items due in next week, we might see some ascended ones too.

froacus.6892:

or is something that no one has discovered (but can exist in the current version of the game), not shown in the wardrobe?

To specifically answer this question: [&AgHXrgAA]

It fits all your criteria. Not discovered. Not in wardrobe. Can exist in the current version of the game (but does not currently exist, and likely never will).

froacus.6892:

with the new wardrobe system, wouldn’t we be able to see skins that we have not discovered yet?

or is something that no one has discovered (but can exist in the current version of the game), not shown in the wardrobe?

This is a segment I think no player really has solid answers for.

With the item api (which is a means of accessing information on all the items in the game), items are supposed to be entered into the roster of items as they are instantiated (crafted, dropped, bought, or whatever makes an actual item in someone’s inventory). Sometimes, items are missing from the roster even though they are probably out in someone’s inventory in the game (the various cultural armors still have pieces missing). And sometimes, they’ll be in the API even though no one has ever brought one into being (lots of recipe sheets entered the API when they updated the recipe icons a few weeks back).

The skins api (same as above, but for weapons and armor skins, plus an outfit or two) pretty much mirrors the wardrobe. It also specifies skins that will not show up in the wardrobe until the player has discovered them. When there have been errors with items pointing to empty references in the skins api, those items wouldn’t unlock skins in the wardrobe for the user. This suggests the wardrobe is either strongly tied to the apis, or both are referencing a third component that actually maintains control.

But the wardrobe isn’t always correct. We saw this recently when it and the skins api displayed Belinda’s sword as an Iron Greatsword, and at that point, the only people that should have had one was Belinda and maybe ANet devs – no players. Then the item disappeared off the wardrobe and the api, but clearly it was still around, because it came back as Belinda’s Greatsword. There’s also the cases of Destroyer Staff, Reaper of Souls, and Worn Voltaic Spear, which are in the wardrobe but no player has come forward with ever owning (that’s hardly proof since forum-goers are a small percentage of players, but if there are any out there, you’d think someone would have pulled one out to brag at some point).

The point here is, be careful of the assumptions that seem obvious based upon what you can see, because there are anomalies and always the possibility of mistakes slipping through.

Care to screenshot that? I’ve never gotten it to work in combination with another jewel.

Note: these are the ones with filigrees.

pdavis.8031:

True, but I wasn’t speaking on the seasonal minis that used the season mats. I suppose I should make that more clear. I was just curious as to whether or not someone was able to discover a recipe using a non seasonal mini and non seasonal mats. (like the stuffed ventari from the first winters day)

I asked that question in the other topic and unfortunately, i would say that neither minis or weapon/armor recipes are left to be discovered, otherwise their empty slot would show up in the wardrobe/collectible tab, which (as far as i know) isnt the case.

There’s an empty weapon slot, but it’s not in the wardrobe.
It’s in the API.
Between items 31034 and 31108, 31107 is still unidentified.

Do none of these.

Hold on to them until next Tuesday.

Then, if I am correct, they will be available for use with the new collection achievements, which is going to include consumables and who knows what else at this stage.

If I am wrong, then you’ve only cluttered up your storage for 5 days and can dispose of them how you wish.

Those prices have been insulting since they started… I remember getting the Staff recipe (the worst-priced at the time) and having to debate whether I wanted a pile of money or something I’d never get again. The latter won out.

More likely I think that the Pale Tree would deem Malyck returning home and spreading word of her existence to be too dangerous for her people and she gave Caithe some special orders to ensure it didn’t happen….

Ravenhunt.2735:

Shes not dead ;_;
She is faded away. >_<

She has fallen into shadow

comic edit –
Mordremoth sent her to another dimension!

If they include some lore bit about humans hunting tengu for magical speed implements …. well, someone ought to reward them for that one XD

With the situation during the invasion of LA, I can understand why they were killing anyone that came to the gates. There’s no easy way to identify who’s a civilian and who’s a pirate hellbent on pillaging. Heck, the civilians of LA ARE pirates, or descended from them.

Mordremoth, however, went straight through the Dominion of Winds to stick some tendrils into LA, so there’s probably no way the Tengu will be able to sit this one out. The wall is already breached.

And here I thought this would be a Rox/Braham shipping thread.

As proto-minions, I can see the Svanir ‘joining’ in the fight, because Mordremoth is encroaching on Jormag’s territory. I figure it more likely it’ll be a situation where “The enemy of my enemy sure as hell isn’t my friend,” and they’ll go it alone.

The NC I think would be happy to have the Pale Tree dead by any means and might surreptitiously help Mordremoth… at least until the dragon starts to dominate them, which is effectively why they were fighting the Pale Tree in the first place.

No, not sure. And it only just occurred to me that I could check it out in the wardrobe XD (I coulda had a V8).

Something I noticed last night was that the Warrior starter helms aren’t linked to skins. For some reason, they’re not in the API, so I can’t get an item_id that way.

Those are all the well-established events. How about comments on the new ones?

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

Who would you cast as the jellyfish’s voice actor?

James Earl Jones, of course. Or Christopher Lee.

Failing that, Maurice LaMarche. Vekk needs work.

You are quite fortunate. Few experience so much of arrow-do so soon.

I never PvP. I’m at about 16k.

But I do play daily and chase the other achievements.

I compared this against the data I’ve been tracking for the last few months. The list is good overall A few other things:

Marauder Helm is also a rare medium armor drop. It is the only part of that set that is generally available.

Asuaka.1528:

Items without skin unlock

item name – item ID – chat link

• Koss on Koss
  The skin Koss on Koss ([&C0gJAAA=]) is NOT unlocked from the following items:
  • Book of Secrets – #37009 – [&AgGRkAAA]
  • Book of Secrets (Infused) – #49370 – [&AgHawAAA]
  • Symon’s History of Ascalon – #37005 – [&AgGNkAAA]
  • Symon’s History of Ascalon (Infused) – #37014 – [&AgGWkAAA]
  • Tome of the Rubicon – #37007 – [&AgGPkAAA]
  • Tome of the Rubicon (Infused) – #37016 – [&AgGYkAAA]

These items do look similar to Koss on Koss, but perhaps should have their own skins. Tome of the Rubicon is a different color than KoK, and the wiki picture for Book of Secrets is actually just a copy of the one for KoK, so you can’t be sure if it’s really the same.

Asuaka.1528:

• Stalker Boots
  The skin Stalker Boots ([&C6oDAAA=]) is NOT unlocked from the following items:
  • Warden Shoe Skin – #41186 – [&AgHioAAA]
  • Mending Boots – #6419 – [&AgETGQAA]

add Stalker Boots #5651

Galen.9042:

Champion Risen Megalodon

Remove it from the game.

Undead sharks should not be a thing, let alone -gigantic- ones.

Fixed.

But undead sharks with frickin’ laser beams, those should be a thing!

Dayra.7405:

Galen.9042:

You must however give the player some feedback on why they died.

Ok, your right. Whenever this happend ANet should write into the battle-log: “You got 1-hitted, because your lousy armor wasn’t able to reduce the damage below your lousy amount of life. To avoid such situations in the future, increase your Toughness and vitality.”

Or, more appropriately: “You have max stats and armor. You were one-shot, because we could. Ha ha. Nana-nana booboo.”

Atlas.9704:

Funny enough I wonder why ANet didn’t do their miniature deals NOW.
Could you imagine the gold/gems that would have been thrown at the TP?

I can imagine the kittenstorm they would have invoked if they had, on par with the Endless Continue Coin. Trust me, they made the right call in waiting.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

I wonder why events have no surprise rewards now and then. Imagine having the chance for things like these when getting a gold medal:

• sometimes a surprising champion loot box
• rarely a mystic forge key
• rarely a dye
• rarely a mini
• rarely a lodestone
• very rarely a rune of holding (to craft 18 or 20slot bags)
• very rarely a rare dye
  etc.etc.

Simply a huge (seriously huge – anything could drop) loot-table. What I loved during the personal story: Rewards where you could choose one out of 3 items. Do this for events, people would love it. BUT with interesting rewards, cut the blues and greens & junkitems.

The thing is: when people know there is a chance (and even the slightest one) of getting something really really rare, they go miles to get it.

I think you’ve summed up the main problem with that last sentence. You’ll see what should have been a fun rarity die in the face of a frothing farmfest.

Danikat.8537:

After the wardrobe update you only need 1 and a regular ascended weapon to apply the skin to.

This left many people with useless duplicate legendaries.

At no point did those weapons become useless. They’re still best-in-class, as people like to bandy the phrase, and they kill critters just as readily.

As for now having two identical special snowflakes that could now be rubberstamped across their whole account…. well, frankly, they’re putting too much value in a collection of shiny pixels to begin with if they can’t congratulate themselves on their accomplishments just because they got easier with time ;D Mount Everest practically has a turnstile and ticket-taker installed, but I don’t think Sir Hillary is moaning that people have forgotten he climbed the thing.

I’m pretty sure this is an outfall of Magic Find. As it increases, the chance of getting an item of your own level also seems to increase.

takes a drink

Good thing I’m thirsty today.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

It’s not possible to put in four greens and get a blue. It’s also not possible to get less than the average level of the inputs, except when the output is an exotic that should be L80.

Correction. It shouldn’t be possible, but the Forge has had bugged combinations before, and it did get an update a few months ago that may have had some unintended changes bleed through. Mistakes are always possible.

That said, put this on the bug forum.

SonOfJacob.7396:

Please perma-unlock this waypoint. Otherwise, just get rid of it. It’s annoying it even being there if I can’t use it. It’s kinda spitting in player’s face, imo.

takes a drink

Congrats. No one’s said that in months.

takes a drink

Excellent list.

On the Flame Tridents, one of the skins (the WvW one) was originally called SteamFire. There is an exotic with the same name that uses that skin. Not sure why they felt they needed to change it to something that was already in use.

takes a drink

Maybe they thought iron and steel look the same? Kinda like we have Hard Wood that is actually from soft wood trees and vice versa.

Unfortunately, it’s pretty much a rule that the annoying characters in the story are the ones least likely to die… at least until they’ve made life as difficult as possible. Phlunt’s got a ways to go.

Still, we’ll likely find a way to stick it to him.

Palador.2170:

“Phlunt, if you’re backing out of the deal, then fine. Taimi, turn off your device. We’ll order the Pact to start destroying waypoints and gates immediately.”

“What’s that? You say I can’t do that? I can and I am. I am the Commander of the Pact, and I AM IN CHARGE HERE! If you are unwilling to do your part and help us against the dragons, then we’ll do it without you. The cost to you and yours will not be considered. Leave, or I and my team will execute you and leave your corpses for the vultures. Once the waypoint network is destroyed, the dragon will attack the only place such energy remains. The rest of us will have time to gather our forces while it devours Rata Sum.”

“What’s that? You were, perhaps, a bit hasty? Yes, I thought so too.”

Bravo! XD Let me go pick up my jaw…

Rats. Here I got a precursor but really needed that orb…

AuroraW.7149:

So very true. :-) My char is impatiently waiting for this gown …

Why? You wanna build a snowman?

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

Stolos: you’re spot on. This encounter was an homage to the courtroom cross-examinations from Ace Attorney. You all probably know pretty well that people at ArenaNet are gamers, too, and this occasionally bleeds into the content we create. For example, the Molten Facility end boss encounter took inspiration from Dark Souls. There are small nods/references sprinkled across the game.

“We are so dead”

kitten straight. I don’t think I can count the number of times those guys took me down.

takes a drink

Or run it both ways, as appears to be intended….

I joined a pickup group last night that was after one of the achievements in the last part (kill the final enemy without dying three times). Other than a few warnings beforehand on which enemies to focus, the mission went off without a hitch and without voice chat or much communication at all. I struggled with the fight when I ran it solo (my main is a bit too glassy), but as a group we did quite well, even with light organization.

I’ve seen duplicates when I’ve accumulated a few rares from the same area.

You’re right, in that each weapon is a specific configuration placed in the drop table, so duplicates are quite possible. Making them stackable won’t work, because the items can be modified. Thus, each one must be a separate instance of an object the game tracks, rather than one of an identical stack like the crafting materials, junk drops, etc.

Just a note, incase this attracts someone with a similar issue: There are a handful of wardrobe skins that are hidden until unlocked. Nearly all of these are Black Lion skins bought with gems. Currently, they are all armor skins.

Quick note, orichalcum level tools require level 65.

Are you using ANY kind of minion, summonable, or pet?

While there is some essence of truth here, it doesn’t explain his death. At no point does he wander off a bridge; he is always on safe terrain according to his own viewpoint. Unless he is autorunning, the server shouldn’t be anticipating that he is going to continue moving when it loses track of him.

What I think happens (and it happens to me a LOT) is that when the game momentarily loses connection, it will maintain your map x,y coordinates when it reestablishes, but not your z value. Instead, it assumes you’re at ground level initially and then attempts to reestablish where your client thinks it was. If you happen to be at any elevation, it assumes you fell. Often fatally. This makes JPs a nightmare unless you are on a cliffside or jumping between solid columns (e.g. places where ground level is in fact elevated).

Even better, other players see you at the position where your client thinks you are, but the server only allows interactions with you where IT thinks you are. So no res for you.

I’ve seen the obstructed ones… I usually joke that the target is getting in the way of itself, which I think is true to some extent. Usually there is some change in elevation involved that I think must be throwing things off.

More thoroughly reading, it looks like you’re going to want the Cook recipes too. This is going to be a hefty list. It’s also going to include some recipes you can only get on the trade post (zealot’s, keeper’s, celestial gear) and food, nomad’s gear and Mawdry-related recipes from Dry Top.

Additionally, each dungeon has some ultra-rare recipes for trinkets. These recipes are account-bound, and don’t impact the wardrobe in any way.

I did this about two months ago.

The coverage of armor pieces by recipe pages is scattershot. More often than not, a complete set is not possible via crafting. That’s not to say that a complete set isn’t possible, because all the craftable pieces come from existing sets.

Eggman.1405:

Astral Projections.7320:

Are you looking for them to sell or open

I’m on a quest to open at least 100 of every bag in the game (so better-use-of-my-time arguments are not an issue). The crazy ~64s price for these bags mean that buy orders are probably never going to get filled (and I did have one out for a week and received nothing) so I will have to farm them.

A worthy enough goal. If you want statistically significant results on drop rates, though, you’ll probably need 10-20 times that number. Unless this is just for your own personal edification.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Hopefully, the Devs give these kinds of posts exactly the attention they deserve.

Little to none? I quit reading after it devolved into squabbling around page 2…

The entire 3rd tier of weapons has the same skins as the second tier. Seasoned Wood weapons have Soft Wood skins. Steel weapons use Iron. This was true even before the wardrobe.

On the original suggestion, because I haven’t read the whole thread….
I like the idea, but I worry that you might forget to come back to make updates, get wrapped up in something more important, or just not realize that you might be making a time commitment here that you aren’t expecting. Even if you explicitly state that having the spot reserved is not a promise that it will be maintained, that might be forgotten by the community at large a few months down the road.
