I just dont get why they offer totally differnt models for the same gear…..
Putting aside the missing bits on female sets, why does it not have a hood whereas the male one does? why does it have an kitten -bow and the male one does not?
Why do the sets look totally different between the sexes? I cant think of a logical reason other than puerile sexist ones…
Every set in the game has different models bc of gender, except for the Charr and Asura.
When it comes to ‘traditional Japanese’ type clothing ex kimono, womens versions tend to be more gaudy and flashy while mens more subtle and to the point.
but anet didn’t have to choose the route they did they could have used the same model and didn’t but then you would have more people complaining on why they didn’t differ.
‘Super protective fantasy armor’ is what it is all about these days, the males get the bad kitten armor that could protect them in an actual fight – while females are stuck with thin cloth and string essentially, it’s a fantasy game- but anet will not deter from the stereotypical kittenty female outfit.
You can’t be serious, GW2 is one of the most modest games when it comes out outfits for females.
^example of my norn. She’s pretty well clothed all things considered.
You’d freak at Tera, or even some GW1 outfits I think.
i said that jokingly in that it’s not a big deal about the armors and expect anything from them – look at the zodiac armors, and the OP just needs to kinda get over it.
ive seen it i played gw1 which had great armor design over all and i didn’t mind it, i do prefer gw2 female versions of armor over tera 100% but i prefer gw1 armor over both and i didnt freak over the next to nothing of tera armor design, i just stopped playing.

In my opinion the new Sylvari female hair – is awful in every sense of the word. Except for Scarlet’s hair which is actually adorable, sort of.
I don’t know what I would actually like but I drew these up as ideas.
I know that these will not be incorporated and every one will probably hate my ideas more than what Anet has to offer but I have three female Sylvari and I am usually disappointed in the new hairs introduced.
left one based on my thief – bird of paradise mohawk
right one based from my guardian- round cactus maybe add in a flower? idk
bottom- lotus bud
I want a violin or a cello as the new musical instrument!
Also, would it be possible for opalescent based dyes?
New armor skins based on Elonian, Vabbi type fashion!
A Kimono/Yukata would be sweet. Though I’d kill for actual robes for a change, rather than all these open dress skirts we get.
A full length one wouldn’t be possible since generally all types of kimono are tightly bound and allow little movement. The stretching would be weird too.
Unless it was a Hakama type.
91 chests (now) and nothing, my friend has 3 bugs now first try each time. He throws them away because he doesn’t want the weapons, he wants the goggles. What a waste, they should be sellable not account bound.
So I think that the option should be made to make the ambrite fossils and weapons sell-able or tradeable for those who do not want the items and instead of trashing the items they should be able to sell them to the players who want the items for crafting I think this option would be great for those who don’t have the time to do events such as farm geodes (like me) in hopes to get a key after their own story event keys have run dry- to be able to have the items to do so.
Anet tries to cater to alot of players and playstyles.
Some players dont pay for gems but spend alot of time in game and would like to be able to earn account bound trophies that show their time spent in game.
Some players rather spend gems to buy rewards because their playtime is limited and they have disposable income.
Anet has to consider both groups so thats why you will usually see rewards for both of them. This update you have Ley weapons for those who want to pay and Ambrite Weapons for those who want to play.
True, on all accounts! But it doesn’t cater to the players who don’t have time to get the weapons they want and who do not want to spend gems- such as the Ambrite ones as an example – and if they don’t want the ley line ones (gem store weapons etc.) then well tough luck, essentially.
I just don’t get why they were made account bound in the first place- the few hours I get on I saw where people in map were getting 2 per chest and then trashing the fossils, I thought ‘what a waste to the ones who will not get them because of whatever silly randomness Anet decided to place them in’
Those players who do not want the weapons were just tossing them away when they could be sold to players like me who don’t have the time to farm and this goes for any weapon like this not just the ambrites.
Can you please give me 1 valid reason why Anet should cater towards players that dont want to spend either time or money to this game?
They shouldn’t at all, but if I could spare my real money for gems and not rent, catfood, food for myself then you bet I would! If I had an extra 24 hours to do what I want then I would take it and farm the heck out of events but I can’t so I guess that puts me in the gaming category as one of those lazy players.
Honestly this is one of those items that I love- the ambrite weapons, and i am puzzled as to why it’s not sell able is all.
Well, unfortunately, you belong to a player category that is not very valuable to Anet.
Players who spend real money for gems are valuable to them for obvious reasons, players who spend alot of time in game, populate the game world, which is a mayor part of an mmo.
You obviously do neither. You paid the initial purchase fee for GW2 and in exchange got access to nearly all game content. That doesnt change, wether you have an ambrite skin or not.
Yes you’re exactly right, but overall my main point is that they should increase drops to the fossil – everyone should have a chance. Make it 4/5 not 1/100.
They NEED to make them un account bound so that the people who do not want them can sell them TO PLAYERS who either cannot get the fossil, or don’t have time because of work and school or what have you- and it would be awesome- Players make a weapon and recipe to sell on the TP for 100g? yeah Id pay 100g for one of those weapons, but since the stats suck they wouldn’t go for that much.
I am at 77 keys and nothing. My sister and friend on the other hand under 10 tries and bam they got them. My sister joked and said “Because you want it the most out of us (my sister and friend) you aren’t going to get it.”

I feel like my post is just going to get buried in such a big thread as this but..
I’ve been wanting this for awhile and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like this. I would like a legitimate dress in this game, for my Mesmer. No, I do not want to wear leaves (TA Armor) or ragged cloth (Arah Armor), I want a legit dress. Something like the dresses that you find some female NPCs in Divinity’s Reach wearing or at least something like Countess Anise’s outfit.
The concept art for the Mesmer depicts the Mesmer wearing a dress, yet there is nothing of the sorts to wear in-game.
Also, a kimono outfit and a katana skin would be nice; would fit the theme my Thief has.
YES I want that outfit the concept mesmer has!! with the fishnets and striped top with bolero-omg it would be SO BEAUTIFUL
I kinda agree with the kimono thing but no game has ever done a good concept of one simply bc they don’t know the ‘anatomy’ of a kimono or pay attention to how it actually looks bc of laziness or ignorance of the clothing culture.
it’s going to be especially painful to get the recipes when dry top is no longer the “in” place to be. hopefully they have something planned to make those more obtainable later on
So I think that the option should be made to make the ambrite fossils and weapons sell-able or tradeable for those who do not want the items and instead of trashing the items they should be able to sell them to the players who want the items for crafting I think this option would be great for those who don’t have the time to do events such as farm geodes (like me) in hopes to get a key after their own story event keys have run dry- to be able to have the items to do so.
Ive tried 63 keys and nothing.
So much for RNG. So im just saving my stupid rocks so that I can afford the recipe and then go treasure hunting.
My sister and friend on the other hand got them after just a few tries.
My layer was taxiing people and we got tier 5- but I didn’t have enough rocks… >:c
I just want the dagger and maybe shortbow or sword.
I guess when I was thinking of Dragoon, I was thinking more or less like Kain from Final Fantasy IV (though in his case, he was manipulated instead of doing bad deeds in his free will), but I see what you’re getting at though. Honestly, if a third Soldier profession should be introduced, it should somewhat be radically different from Guardian and Warriors. They could probably be some version of a Death Knight, or even some splinter profession based on one of the rival groups (eg Inquest, Nightmare Court, Svanir, etc), or maybe a Pact-originating profession complete with their own story.
I’m thinking more or less a range-centric Soldier profession, since the other two are melee-centric. Perhaps they could be infused with the powers of a Golem and adopt similar abilities to one, like fire lasers and shoot rockets while spinning around like Zangief from Street Fighter series.
As far as introducing new weapons go, if a new weapon gets added, it shouldn’t be exclusive to only one profession. I do like the example of a Samurai, but introducing a new kind of sword would mean that other professions would have some interest in it as well. Then again, it wouldn’t hurt to have new abilities as long all the eight professions get something as far as weapon skills go.
Warriors are practically dragoons, it’s basically just a soldier/warrior & sometimes with a steed.
I think some sort of reaver/dark knight/reaper but with heavy armor & uses sickles? Probably dumb, but we have 3 mediums & 3 lights- needs to be a condition, heavy armor or something
THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON- wings included with dragons summoned
After playing a bit with the content last night, I’d also like to add that I wish the Unidentified Fossils were tradable. I’ve previewed the Ambrite skins. I don’t like the look of them, but now I have one Fossil that’s account bound and there’s absolutely nothing I can do with it. It has no vendor value, so I can’t sell it. The identified fossils are also account bound, so I can’t sell those either. Even if I went the entire route of crafting an Ambrite weapon (that again, I don’t want), I STILL can’t sell it. It is literally a worthless, useless drop to me.
But destroying it seems like such a waste when I KNOW there is someone, maybe many someones, who would be glad to buy it from me. Making these tradable would make both of us happy.
At the very least, ANet, make Gentt trade something like Geodes or maybe even Lumps of Ambrite for unwanted Fossils so we can at least convert them into something useful if we don’t like the Ambrite weapons.
Why would you make them account bound in the first place when the are already annoying and difficult to get, especially if you spend all your geodes on 47 lockpicks and still nothing, and then it’s another 350 geodes if you get t5 unlocked. I don’t mind the crafting I have everything that is able to get to 500 at 500 except the huntsman profession. I just do not like the ‘luck of the draw’.
So make the weapons sellable so that somone with 0 RNG can get one, along with all the other super duper unluckies.
That’s just my take on it!
I found 2 in one chest after opening 53 chests yesterday and today combined, I know bc how many keys I had- and then just as I opened one where the Veteran bore was near Prosperity WP everyone started lagging out and after about 5 mins of waiting the lag to stop or get disconnected from the server- which is what happened, I assume everyone was unable to log in earlier this afternoon – and after a few attempts to log in the lag stopped and I was able to proceed and when I went to turn in my bugs it showed that I had none at all- so the bugs I found were wiped from my inventory… thanks anet! super appreciate it.
Well then heck, let’s make fractal weapon skins trade-able as well. I’m sure everyone would love that. And by everyone I mean the people that want to have an item they didn’t work for, yet still give the illusion that they did.
In my book, personally, fractal weapon skins > legendary skins simply because you can’t buy them on TP. You know the guy with a fractal GS likely had to do a ton of runs just to get it because of RNG. The guy with Eternity/Twilight/Sunrise running around? Likely purchased from the TP.
It’s nice having skins that aren’t available on TP because then not everyone is running around with it.
Like my yellow super staff. Can’t buy it on TP, so I run that staff more than any other.
So if you like the skin, and you want the skin, but you don’t want to work for the skin, then you don’t get the skin.
I am working for the skin but I have a feeling I won’t be the one getting it but that won’t make me stop trying for a while but still I am saving for the recipe I wanted itself but when my layer got to t5 I still didn’t have enough since Champ and Legendaries give you awesome loot like 3 geodes- And trying to get enough geodes to buy the recipe before the event dies down is a crappy feeling. Too bad you can’t get like 20 geodes per completion of a task.
So they make something account bound and you complain because you can’t buy it. They make something you can sell and you complain that it costs too much.
Guess they should just make the stuff free for everyone. Oh but wait, then the people who would want to sell them on TP would be upset. Yeah, can’t do that either.
Oh I know! Let’s not add anything new to the game ever again!
I dont mind paying 100g + for something I want since all I do are dungeons anyways.
Why would you make them account bound in the first place when the are already annoying and difficult to get, especially if you spend all your geodes on 47 lockpicks and still nothing, and then it’s another 350 geodes if you get t5 unlocked.
So make the weapons sellable so that somone with 0 RNG can get one, along with all the other super duper unluckies. I don’t mind crafting at all I have a few professions up to 500- so crafting isn’t the issue.
That’s just my take on it!
You’ve gotten two of the unique rare drops. Stop whining. I’ve opened about 20, and gotten 20 champ bags full of greens, a handful of geodes, and some sand.
But it gave me crap i can’t even use, and im at 41 chests and nothing now except stupid bloodstone dust or the star shard thingies that i cant think of the name to save my life.
In fact all of my party members that joined left and when new ones joined all got the fossil except me still. I know your frustration if you are feeling any at all that is
So after opening 27 chests, and nothing (i got the adventurer goggles and mask) but I was and still am disappointed that the drop is SO RARE, why not make it much much more common? It really wouldn’t hurt anything to do so.
Comon Anet, you make a decent looking (imho) non ascended skin and you make it impossible to get for the lot of us.
One day there will be a fantasy game that does something no fantasy or game has ever done yet- make no skimpy non sexualized female characters. But then people will complain about the game being too prude or something else that’s stupid.
I hate when others are like “well i got this and this and this” as in you should have gotten it too or they are more special- no Anet just likes to screw you over just like the Ambrite weapons skins in the boxes along with the t5 favor that noone cares about
I was wondering if the Ambrite weapons will eventually be available for sell on the TP? The reason I ask is because after opening 25 chests today, I haven’t gotten a single recipe. I would prefer honestly to buy one over hoping that I get one, and that my layer is able to get t5 favor before people get bored of the region and never get anywhere.
I love these but unfortunately, They are too hard to get. Some get on the first try most don’t or havent gotten them at all and noone can get to tier 3 – but IT IS THE first day and the times aren’t quite known for the events
ive used 25 lockpicks and nothing so far- I hope they can be sold on the TP, I’d pay a bit for one.
So, if you talk to Dozza who is located in the vigil I think she is? Anyways, if you have duplicate legendaries you are granted a title- which is great and all but what about the ones who can’t dual wield their legendaries? Like two bifrosts or two minstrels or two sunrises etc. It’s kinda biased – So ANET will you eventually make a title THAT CAN BE APLIED TO ALL wielders who own certain legendaries!!??
Anet you are getting close, but you went the wrong way again.
It would be great honestly, because there is a few people who I blocked and they don’t seem to get why I blocked them other than them being butt faces at some point or just annoying the crap out of me.
Often they go through my other friends to bother me- so appearing offline to them would save me a lot of further annoyance
So, I do at least 1 path in every dungeon almost daily, and I was wondering with all this ‘new permanent’ content up coming and further in the future will we EVER GET NEW PERMANENT DUNGEONS WITH THEIR OWN VENDORS?? The same 8 dungeons get sort of boring AND even if you don’t run dungeons often, wouldn’t you at least like some new variety?- I would totally go to an underwater dungeon dealing with quaggans or w/e, or a dungeon that has 0 inquest would be nice- Where the NPC is a Quaggan, Tengu, Largos or something else that isn’t trahearne, caithe, kasmere etc. NPC’s that talk to much basically. Maybe a centaur enemy based dungeon, underwater/ beach, forest/mountainside, desert caves type- the list can go on.
Can I have back my mini Jora from GW: EotN? Or like a Norn heroes/legends mini release with Jora included and her brother Svanir along with some others.
More Arabian/persian or Elonian based armor skins with scarves, and almost worn out armor along with Charr having a tail flap made of leather or wrappings of cloth something beautiful for female characters that translates well all classes not just human.
New instrument a Cello or Violin
If something is announced to be due and done by a certain date, then it needs to be done, just imagine if every single business never met its own deadline. I mean if you cant do it by that time then don’t guarantee a date Anet! I personally don’t mind waiting but I just hope it won’t be a year before this is dealt with because from my understanding Season One Tournament still wasn’t completely fixed, I was on at that time but never participated. So anyways just keep us updated and get it fixed asap- I don’t care if everyone has the same skin because they all participated in hopes of getting rewards even if it is simply cosmetic.
No, it was more like the fact that you basically stated that the devs suck at their job because they haven’t fixed it yet, and I questioned your ability and knowledge to actually do that in a fair way.
Actually, i’m a dev myself and i can tell you something for sure: Finding the bug origin is quite hard when you got no idea where it is coming from, that’s true. But once you find it, most companies that really cares will ask you hot fixes even if you need to stay the whole night fixing it. Well, that’s how it works in my company and a lot of others, you can’t let a bug so huge, say you know where it is coming from and ask for a whole week delay when you just have some number to change. I dunno if you dev yourself but checking if your (bool) or your (!bool) isnt really hard. GW2 team just do not give enough attention to their customer, as you might notice from the WvW saison 1 rewards still not fixed.
For some reason with spelling and grammar like that I find it hard to believe you are employed anywhere…
Hi! So I’m one of the many who didn’t receive my Season 2 WvW rewards. I’ve stayed in Stormbluff Isle server ever since beta and my account is Mallybum.3658 and my ingame character is Mally the Blessed. I also attached a screenshot of me completing the meta and hopefully that will help whoever is looking into the problem. Umm if I’m missing any other helpful information I guess a GW2 rep can contact me through my account?
Do not worry, noone can access the rewards yet. The update was just to fix the gemstore.
I almost want to farm for it- but in any case.. it’s so frustrating- thanks anet
Why make 3 other ‘god’ related back pieces pretty easy to get if you farm for them- and this one yeah same concept to farm for but – like what makes it better? sigh* just another Anet let down
Hopefully it’s just so expensive because it’s new- just like the Grenth and Dwayna were at first.
I don’t see why they make some backpieces rare and 1 PvP related- I mean, I do get why the Balthazar one is PvP related but – still. It doesn’t make exact sense to me for the rest why would 1 be more rare then 2 other ascended?
