Acquiring Trait Points
Trait points have been condensed into 14 points (down from 70), each of which is equivalent to the value of 5 old trait points. This means that instead of granting 10 points of each trait-line-specific stat, each trait point will provide 50 points of the trait-line-specific stats. These will be distributed in the following manner:
Level 30—1 Trait Point
Level 36—1 Trait Point
Level 42—1 Trait Point
Level 48—1 Trait Point
Level 54—1 Trait Point
Level 60—1 Trait Point
Level 66—2 Trait Points
Level 72—2 Trait Points
Level 78—2 Trait Points
Level 80—2 Trait Points
They rescaled trait points to a max of 14. Each trait point is now equivalent to 5 of the old trait points.
So if you were worried that you permanently lost some trait points because you didn’t use them, forget about it.
isnt it was useless? coz all dmg calculation includes only “power”
The value given by attack isn’t used anywhere in the damage formula, but it is made up of the two stats that can be altered on your side of the formula. Power + max weapon strength.
Damage done by weapon skills = (Weapon strength) * Power * (skill-specific coefficient) / (target’s Armor)
As I recall, attack wasn’t really used in any game mechanics since it was weapon strength + power, but damage came from weapon strength X power (and some other stuff!)
Anet should add an NPC that sells tick points, that way everyone who wants to contribute can do so at their own pace.
You can pay by gems, gold, or cash. There would also be a system in place that automatically draws funds from your bank account to support your server.
Being able to apply a skin doesn’t change the fact that you still have two account bound weapons that can change stats on the fly.
Wanting to exchange 1 legendary for another is a different problem.
Currently, you have X legendary weapons and after the feature patch you will have X legendary weapons.
The problem with engineer’s interrupt is that the grappling line has the shortest CC duration along with pulling the enemy on top of you as opposed to the guardian’s push.
If you can find the banking NPC (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Banker) you should be able to transfer the heroic chest since the bank is account wide.
This is only if the items are account-bound, if it is soul-bound (or you already deleted the character) I suggest you contact support to get that resolved.
The stuff in the heroic edition is also available in the gem store if you didn’t know so don’t feel too bad about this if support doesn’t help you.
Microtransactions and vanity items are important to Chinese and Korean players. These groups tend to have more disposable income, or the willingness to spend a large portion of their income, on games. That’s why P2W games are popular in Asia. I remember reading an article of a player would bid $16,000 to have a unique, one of a kind in-game sword.
As for these items being P2W, these are close, but still not at the same levels of other Asian games. So far, none of the items I’m seeing provide any clear advantages for paying customers than non-paying. But once we see Gem store items that increase weapon damage or armor rating (not counting +5% boosters) by large amounts, then the game can effectively be called P2W.
the amount of ignorant assumptions here is incredible.
vanity items are just as important to western players as to korean/chinese players, they are also human, and not drastically different from us.
And why do they have more disposable income? I thought the entire concept of First World meant that people on the First World would have more disposable income, yet again, a “statistic” not backed by any source
And why if someone bought a virtual item for $16000? Golden Roshan couriers for Dota 2 are selling for $1000+ each, and there are several of them, I’d say the western virtual market moves as much money as the asian virtual market.
Once again, people jumping into the “asians are different” card when in reality they have no idea what they’re talking about.
But they are different, hence Western MMO and Eastern MMO. They cater to different playstyles and the Chinese release of GW2 is trying to adapt it to the eastern market.
Also, i’m curious, but being hit by any of these avoid the achievement to be done?
- Stepping on the orange marks alone (that signal the incoming laser)
- The Scarlet Briar(?), that mob that goes around launching bombs and air barriers that do damage
- The knockback effect from not having the right color buff (I assume that’s why i get knocked back at least)
Anyone could clarify me this?
I’ve gotten the achievement even though I:
stepped on the orange marks
got bounced by the bubble shield
was hit by the aoe launch from the prime hologram
Not sure about the others.
Still have to watch out for the invisible residual beam, wait it out for four seconds and if you really want to be safe, keep watch of someone’s HP as they are about to cross the invisible beam’s path.
You will notice a sudden drop(also daze) in their HP if the beam is still there.
[[I think the final lock-on beam attacks from the Ultraviolet hologram count against the achievement as well (when you fail to kill all the mini prime holograms and everyone gets hit with a beam)
I had a hard time dodging these even with the clear tell (the beam will focus in above your head) so I just used an invulnerability skill to avoid it.]]
Guess not, but careful not to get knocked into a beam when you get hit with it.
If you have a spinal backpack, you can head to the Living World marker (yellow swirly portal) bottom left of LA and skip pass the Hologram fight and straight to what you missed.
I think there is something wrong with the loot logic.
Killed one knight and got 3 power cores + boxes and then moved onto a second knight and got nothing.
Maybe the damage threshold might be set too high as with the Halloween bosses.
Hmm for Avatar, you could pop a quickness utility then transform and either use the water field or aoe root. The cast and aftercast is very long, so you should just cast one and exit form.
Plus it is an instant transform that gives 2000 toughness, maybe you can negate some damage while being CC’ed.
Agreed, they should add a new tab like Enter The Ruined City of Arah (personal) where Destiny’s Edge is buffed and their AI is upgraded to be on par with Braham, Rox, Marjory, and Kasmeer.
Hey, everyone. We’ve been reading all your feedback about the Flamekissed Armor Skin that was released into the Gem Store yesterday.
Although the Flamekissed Armor uses the same mesh as the Tier 3 Human Cultural Armor, it was not our intention to create an armor skin that so closely matched the existing Tier 3 Human Cultural armor set. The intention was to use the mesh as a basis for creating an armor set that stands apart and is distinct in appearance. However, after reading your feedback, we agree that the Flamekissed armor is not visually distinct enough from Human Cultural Tier 3 armor.
We will do a few things to address this issue.
We will temporarily remove Flamekissed Armor Skin from the Gem Store.
Players who have purchased Flamekissed Armor Skin will keep the skin.
We will make new art for the Flamekissed Armor Skin that achieves our goal of making a visually distinct and attractive armor set and does not closely resemble the Human Tier 3 Cultural armor.
Once this new artwork is completed, we will then update the Flamekissed Armor Skin so that all existing sets that players have purchased get the new art. We will also offer the Flamekissed Armor Skin for sale again at that time.
When we update the Flamekissed Armor Skins with the new artwork, any player that has already purchased the set and who does not like the new, updated look, can get a full refund by contacting Customer Support.
Note that there is no ETA on when this change will happen. We need to work with the Character Art Team to determine when we can have a new armor skin ready, and this could take some time.
Thank you everyone for providing your feedback. We appreciate that you took the time to let us know how you feel about the new armor set.
okay heres the deal, i spend 800 gems on that flamekissed armor on the tradepost for my necro sylvari. And it looked good, then i though maybe 2 Incinerator daggers would look cool on that, so i spend loads of gold on those and was pretty happy abouth that look. Then what do u people do, redo the armor look on the flamekissed set, so now it all looks crap, armor is awfull looking, my 2 Legendary daggers was a waste of time and gold. And 2 be real that aint just a few coppers. So at this point i feel like i just wasted abouth 5500 gold, well done anet i must say. So whats being done?? got a set of armor i dont like 2 Legendary daggers that i dont want eighter now!!!!!!! made em only 2 suit the old flamekissed armor….
what a waste man! looks like your only option for those two useless daggers now are to make two more and throw into mystic forge.
Probably would be the best way to go about this, but it would take time to do the other 4 cultural armors seeing how long just changing the light armor took.
Maybe later on they will add these effects through a gemstore purchase. (With only one use of course $_$)
