I’m also dissapointed about it being all temporary but I’ll take a wait and see attitude towards it… after all, we don’t know WHY it’s permanent in the first place. For all we know kralkatorrik might show up and destroy the whole place leading to some new dungeons in the zone and stuff like that leading to an epic worldwide event (hey, the game was released on august 28th, the first anniversary will fall during this event).
That said, as Ursan said, Anet promised more permanent living world content 2 weeks ago, by then everything we’re seeing in this patch, or at least what will be released tomorrow, was most likely all wrapped up and doing some last moment testing and tweaking, and I’d be willing to say everything for the next couple of month of updates are probably already not only planned but VERY advanced into producton. If anything I think we’ll probably start seeing some more permanent content around october at the very least (that is assuming they didn’t have some planned to begin with, maybe for the anniversary).
I welcome you to go back and read one of my previous posts with a list of Colin’s quotes dating back to over a month ago where he explicitly acknowledges they will work on more permanent content. A blog post does not mean that is the first ever mention of something, in fact that usually means the work is to a point that there is no going back.
Still over a month ago, considering they did say that the development cycle for new content is about 4 months, would mean this particular patch was most likely already too late into development to do major changes to it, specially considering we don’t know how will the story pan out in the first place, both here and on new future content (as I said, for all we know the pavillion might get destroyed creating new permanent areas, no idea).
That doesnt prove anything…. They could just NOT remove this content… And it would be permanent
Looks like people dont get what i mean. I don’t mean permanent changes. i know the dungeon changes and champion changes are permanent. But so what? Im talking NEW PLAYABLE CONTENT not changes
In my eyes, it looks like this living world release will have MORE TEMPORARY content than any other living story release…
If we looks back from release 11 months ago. What big updates have we had?
Guild missions, fractals, southsun (What a joke of a area, tbh)…? Am i missing something? I do not talk about “Oh, they change the look of that place” or “No, they added moa racing, this is something people will log in to play”
So.. Time for some change Anet?
Why anet? The whole new place inside Divinitys reach is temporary. If im not mistake all the new things like the arena will take place inside there. Not to mention the arena isnt instanced, so like thousands of people will queue up for it, so you only get to experience it once until its gone.
Why..? As someone said, if you keep giving us temporary content like this, this game will be dead as soon as another big MMO coming out (Wildstar being the biggest). I know ALOT of people moving to wildstar simply because this is just stupid.
You make people RUSH your content just to finish it before the time runs out and get the rewards. this is forcing us to play, something you SHOULD NOT DO since there is no supscription fee. i mean, with no subscription fee we arent forced to play, but it we are anyways. Since the temporary content.
You said like 2 months ago you will start giving us more permanent, but i think its bullkitten. Proove it, please
I vote Kiel because i wont have a black lion RNG box selling charr as a leader. Also, why do you want old lore when you can have new one? #Teamkiel!
So.. Why do you need 6 hours for this? It must be something big. They never have this long maintenance for a patch, or even for a regular maintenance. Atleast not that i can remember.
Why so long? The first things that come to min is fixing skill lag in WvW by upgrading servers, or removing PvE culling.
What do you guys think?
RoF is doing great now! Good job, keep it up!
Football! my new Torfabrik 3 ball is most likely arriving today or tomorrw anyways
If Anet were to make Legendaries account bound on production, with the extra benefit that you would be able to share it with all your lvl 80 toons and cannot be sold in TP, would this satisfy you?
YES!!! I have incinerator on my necro, but would love it to use it on my thief. I have no idea why its not account bound.. really.
Would there be at least some reputation in getting one?
MOST IMPORTANT ONE:
What would you give to have that instead of having the weapon, you know can make the skin, which goes into your achievement tab and can be put on any weapon of your choice as many times as you wish? (if put on a lvl 80 exotic this would bump the weapon stats to ascended when the items come out)
YES!!! I have incinerator on my necro, but would love it to use it on my thief. I have no idea why its not account bound.. really.
Also, i would love to take out the skin, but since they are making legendaries so you can change stats whenever you want to i dont see the reason for this, really
Not to bad, could have been worse.
Good luck everyone and have fun!
Gear your character with cool weapons. Legendary, corrupted, destroyer, other mystic forge weapons.
For a list of weapons go to dulfy.com and gw2 – Weapon gallery.
I started out making incinerator (legendary dagger) for my necro, then i made full corrupted set for my warrior. Now im working towards commander title in WvW
7/10. I like the look and all, but IF im not mistake you are using a OOW body and bottom which is kind of… Its very cool, but not so creative. Im not a fan of using full sets, but i like to mix things up. Also, the black and red color is kind of boring
Here is my warrior, just made some changes to him.
Wondering the same… made a thread about it, but it looks like it died
I did not really understand what it will do… Im from norway, so i excuse my english (Which may be a reason why i didnt understand what it means, well.. I understand it, but i think it was poorly explained)
What exactly is the effect changes coming up? Can someone explain in another way?
I have incinerator and is it a possible the fire hand bugging out is getting fixed? I know all legendaries have effects that bugs out, and is it possible this may get fixed in this patch?
They don’t play. They are spending their time complaining on the forums instead of playing.
I play because i enjoy it. After 1,2k hours i still have fun
This is kind of strange… If everything listed under “event” is temporary.. They said they would add MORE permanent stuff, but this looks like tons of temporary content if thats the case… Anet, help us out?
So… It doesnt say whats permanent and what not in the release page like it did before. Usually it said “Starts 6 august – 20th august” etc. but not now.
I am wondering what of the new content will be permanent? I understand everything cant be permanent like the opening ceremony, but like the queens gauntlet, the crown pavilion etc.
The queens gauntlet sounds awesome, really hope its permanent, but i doubt it
So.. remember when we only knew necro’s would get a new skill in DS? We all said it was probably a new condition, but warriors would get it aswell, alot stronger than necros will? It happend.
I just logged on my warrior to check out some changes and i saw Impale… A sword OH skill. They changed the bleeding it gives to torment. It gives 5 stacks wit ha duration of 12 seconds… On a skill with 15 second cooldown. I tested some stuff, and got a little bit of condition duration. The results was shocking.
with 30% condition duration i managed to get 15,5 seconds of torment on a skill with 15 sec CD.
So warriors can now deal 5 stacks of perma torment. I love Anets balancing! Said noone ever
I have Incinerator myself, but no i don’t.. kind of.
It depends what legendary the other guy has. If i see someone with twilight or sunrise i barely notice it. Its so god kitten common. I can’t go to LA without seeing one. But if i see like Kudzu, quip or predator im like “Oh, nice!” Because i really like them, and they are rare to see.
But incinerator, twilight, sunrise etc…. Nope even though i have one myself
Ok Jon. We have played it for a while.
We want it back
I’m a guy who keeps reading the same thread with a different title.
You too?! So am i!
If you are looking for difficult PVE endgame..fractals bud. As you go higher in the fractal levels(which are endless) it gets more difficult. And some of the mechanics and fractals contain some of the most unique mechanics ive seen. And yes Ive raided in wow for years.
Wrong. 80 is the highest level, its capped at 80 even in fractals.
I decided to get incinerator because i needed something to do. I wanted a goal. 7 months later i got it. It felt amazing, thats why i wanted it.
I couldnt care less about what people say. I see most complain these days “OhH, I hAvE a LejEnDairy, BuT peOplE DonT PraISe Me liKE a Gawd. WhaT Is THIs”? So… You shouldnt go for a legendary because you want people to do recognize you. believe me, i have had mine for 1 month now, maybe 3-4 people in total have said nice legendary to me (Excluding guildies ofc)
First off.. is it possible to post two characters? I have a warrior and a necro.. Anyways,
I like the look. It’s not overdone, it simple, yet unique… but i don’t like the black and white colours… Feels so mainstream
7/10
I will post both mine, rate both or which one you like best
Warrior first then necro second
What gear/dye are you using for your warrior? Im in love with the combination
The dyes are just black and white (no, not abyss and celestial, just normal Black and White dye). Very boring and mainstream, but i love it because ot looks so metallic on that gear.
Helm: Primeval (From the gem store if you didnt know)
shoulders: tactical pauldrons (Bought from tactician Lyan in fireheart rise, its a heart guy)
Body: Armageddon (Temple armor)
Gloves: Primeval
Legs: Armageddon
Boots: Primeval
Thats pretty much it, and not to brag, but… I agree, the combination is super awesome. One of the best warriors i have seen, even though it is my own. :d

I think mesmer is what you are looking for.
Mesmer is very wanted in dungeon groups because they can do huge damage and very good support. I know you said you don’t want to PvE much, but in WvW mesmers are extremely helpfull and same goes with sPvP. A good mesmer is hard to kill, yet good support.
Amazing fight for RoF keep right now! RoF vs dzagoblob (no offense, just like the name)
Was a good time
I like bit aswell, but kind of stupid to make this thread now, when he plays F.E.A.R and not Gw2
So they DO play necromancers!! Haha!
Probably just to find more ways to nerf them
So far i have gotten a dagger, a trident, a sword and guess what.. yesterday, i got ANOTHER TRIDENT…
HotW gives glacial cores/lodestones
^ This guy is right. HotW gives glacial, not corrupted
It should get fixed, but there are worse visual bugs than that… Even the legendary weapons bugs out. The effects bugs out 80% of the time and should be first priority since legendaries takes so long and so much gold to get. If thr aetherised weapons gets fixed before legendaries i will be kitten ed. But the legendaries have been bugged since released, so i doubt it
This just shows us that the people that said it think they are some kind of gods… They are not, and you shouldnt listen to them
I highly doubt it
You can’t think like this… If we would have had burning for an adept trait it would be SUPER OP for conditions builds. They did this so we have to take 30 into power for the little extra condition damage. But it is a little stupid, yes
blob vs blob vs RoF.
Was thinking the same thing earlier, at RoF bay
This REALLY kitten es me of… Shows us how little Anet care about their playerbase. Every necro (almost) have said we DO NOT WANT BURNING. It’s a nice addition, but if makes terror OP, we do not want it. Anet nows how much we love terror, so they nerf it. JUST to be kittenheads.
This makes me want to quit the game, since i KNOW there is no hope for necro to get fixed and legendaries to become account bound and fix the legendary effect bugs which has been requested so many times SINCE RELEASE.
#NoHope
Some people like them, some don’t. Personaly, i think the dreamer is awesome. Not everyone wants this dark themed stuff.
Also, the legendary effects bugs out all the time, and they are soulbound on equip. Thats the main reasons some people wont get them i believe
I think most RoF people (some of them atleast) are on holiday or something. It is summer still
Isn’t this obvious…? Necromancers can summon dead things, they obviously summons the locust.
Inb4 “When a necro summons a minion it comes up from the ground?! WHERE DOES IT COME FROM!?”
Simply, the necro spawns them
i love both the survival games and the new aspect arena.. IMO it sucks one of them are going away, just… why? Why waste resources to make them if they are dissapearing anyways?
Yea, i like my necro because he as an Asura with incinerator. Amazing weapon and the best race!
For me, the deathshroud overflow is the most disappointing change they ever made . Cliff-diving made my necro an effective roamer in WvW. I had a lot of fun soloing aroundthe borderlands and taking crazy risks. I need some time off from GW2 now.
You can still use Spectral Walk for it if you want to.
Just use it twice just before hitting the ground.
Yes, but its more risky and we have to use a utility slot for it. but then again, i use spectral walk all the time
I think because it is Heavy armor and not light
It wouldn’t hurt anyone if the transmuted weapons would get updated too though, would it?
It would kind of be unfair for the people that DID NOT transmute it. They might have ran around with wrong stats on the weapon the whole time when they could have had the right stats. so… It is unfair
I don’t think so, and i don’t hope so. Transmuting should be a choice and a risk you do. If Anet did change everything it wouldnt be fun. I would be like: “OH im just gonna destroy my legendary, because Anet will bring it back later”… Thats not how it works. Your choices is your choices and it will have consequenses
That’s the stupidest kitten I’ve read in a long time. You do realize there are a lot of people who made legendary weapons PRIOR to the introduction of ascended gear, right? This “risk” you speak of didn’t exist for them. They had no way of knowing transmuting it would become a problem later on down the line. You think people should be punished for taking the only available route to solve a problem with the functionality of legendary weapons, a problem that never should have existed in the first place? Fail.
Lol… Its called THINKING FORWARD… I knew this was going to happen, even before ascended items came out. Unless you are very stupid, you would know legendary would always be top tier and if transmuted it would get the coding to the weapon you transmute it to.
Must be the sigil you have on your warhorn. Check if it is a Sigil of rage
No offense, but frostfang should not be first.. Look the minstrel. It has a few notes popping out of it (Which bugs out all the time) so it has like no effects.
Frostfang has the hand in ice, footsteps, breathing ice and it moves. Its one of the better legendary, really..
you mention people hardly notice your frostfang… Its not like everyone say “Nice legendary” to you… That was the first month, now that legendaries are so normal, people just don’t think its so special anymore. I have incinerator and hardly anybody say something. I didnt make it to get seen, but to have a goal, simply
