Guild Wars 2

“We aren’t quite ready to go into all the details here, but what I can say is you will see a specific way to build precursor items on your way to a legendary. On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013. Building your precursor will require a large amount of the new crafting material rewards listed above, 500 in crafting, and likely a combination of other items earned for completing more specific content in the game”

That is why people still go on about this. Over a year later and I’ve not seen any more on the subject but have not been playing or following forums/announcements prior to living story season 2 so may have just missed stuff. But if nothing more has been mentioned about this update I can perfectly understand why people go on about this and are not happy.

Surely an explanation as to why this has been dropped/forgotten about/delayed is owed to the players after failing to deliver this when every other feature in that announcement was implemented into the game long ago.

I don’t expect to see this anytime soon. Yes it something wanted by many and yes I know they have announced that it will be coming to the game but this was back in July 2013 and the details given about how they would be made came across as this was something close to being introduced to the game.

Fact is while precursors are as rare as they are and the price reflects that then players with disposable income will have an incentive to spend there real money for in game gold. Creating revenue for the company.

Most of the items you listed off that aren’t in this update are because they are content. This is not a content update, this is a feature pack. Content updates usually, but not exclusively, take the forum of living world updates or festivals.

So these new low level weapons are a feature and not new content?

Would be a good idea now have 5 of these sat in storage with no use unless I delete a character.

making the 2nd year scrolls stackable with the 1st year would also b nice also, instead of taking up extra storage slots

As I said above, to many people were crying “The sky is falling” before they got the official word.

I honestly never believed that each color would cost 300g and nowhere was it said absolutely that was what was going to happen.

I’m excited for the change and think it is a great one!

watch the last minute of that video. It says exactly that, “if you have unlocked blue already that’s the one you have and you can go ahead and buy other colours”

special case for if you have brought more then 3 tags to contact support and get another color

so just unlock tags on extra chars and get the extra colors from customer support after release
