Woah-oh gawd. Thankfully I have some powerful blood to craft insignias…
Anyway! I made a list of all the boxes/useless weapons/crappy armor pieces I have lying around… the result is quite impressive. I’m literally saving hundreds of gold.
P.S. It does work with weapons, rite? O.o
From what I understand it works on weapons to. You seem really excited.

I got it, I buried the corpse! Couldn’t catch the cat, though. Tripped on my own feet and he escaped on his motorcycle.
I think I managed to calculate the depth of the hole, but not sure. I think an arm is still sticking out…?
Just want to clarify since I saw this come up a couple of times in this thread and we haven’t actually released our full official patch notes for 6/23 yet….
Ascended Gear will be staying 5% better than Exotic Gear. Gear beyond the tiers we already have are not going to be added and our existing tiers won’t change, they won’t be our main end-game form of progression for your characters/account for all the reasons we’ve covered before – it isn’t what we think Gw2 is about.
Masteries is being added to PvE to help provide this system as our form of progression for PvE moving forward, and the WvW ability system exists for WvW and will be what we use to expand WvW in the future.
To more directly answer some of your point….We are adding a system that lets you change the stats for your ascended gear next Tuesday – which will cost a combination of 10 spirit shards, piece you don’t want anymore, 5 ectos, and an exotic insignia of the stats you want to convert to. Legendary Gear will remain the gear that can freely change stats any time.

Finally a use for those dozens of healer’s chests.
lol, . I had a tone of useless ascended armor pieces from wvw and fractals. Time to re-roll me some zerker pieces.
I have like… 4? or more boxes of defenders, plus at least 8 pieces of cele and knight scattered across my guard and ele. Does this mean… I get to convert them all to free zerk? Does it?
Hnnnnghhhh!
/falls off chair
I was turning all my useless boxes into light armor, for the unlocks. because I was to cheap to craft ascended light right now. I say this with 3 sets of heavy ascended and 1 set of medium
Guess my ele is about to be come very happy.

So, this thread was opened a while ago. People were hoping to see something from Guild Wars 1. Maybe get to explore parts of the world that are lost in the mist of time because we are unable to cross the crystal desert to elona or sail to cantha.
Now we have HoT. It’s the first expansion that we have seen in Guild Wars 2. Alot of debates going on over it right now. Not gonna touch on those with a ten foot pole, (oddly I know what that phase means now).
But I want Anet to remember this thread. I want them to think about the stuff we have been asking for since day one. There is alot of world out there yet. I want to explore it, my boots need new paths to roam and lets face it. I don’t know if HoT is gonna be enough.
i’d prefer Cantha. Those silly little scarabs things from elona still tick me off when i think about them…
lol, yeah, was helping a guildie tonight working on his titles, in EoTN He had never really played GW1. He was like, My god Destroyers are such a joke in GW2, here one of them can destroy my whole party.
Ahhh good times.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
Dungeons should scale up though. Just like fractals. I understand the avoidance of scaling up in open world. But it doesnt make sense in instanced content.
I can agree here, aside from the stories.
Fractals do this I believe.
Fractals indeed do this. You can technically run a fractal with 5 Lv2 characters. (Guys do it!)
//If you have less than three stats, you naturally get Nomad stats assigned instead. That’s the only logical thing to do.
All upleveled characters should be given celestial armor with Dolyak runes. . . i mean, it worked in the beta right?

Anet has yet to show me that the cotent is there. I didn’t jump on the hype train when HoT was first announced, which lead to me being kinda at odds with most of my guild who were more then happy to let the hype carry them away. My issue is that unlike GW 1, GW2 has yet to show me that it is capable of adding meaningful new cotent.
If it were just me, I don’t think I would even consider HoT at this point. However this is one of the few places I can spend time with some of the friends I have made in the game. Friends that I do enjoy hanging out with and talking to. So push comes to shove I probably won’t buy it right away. But I will eventually, if only so that I can keep playing with my friends. As for Anet I have nothing by disappointment in them right now. More then I did before HoT was release.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
So Running CoE with my buddy today. I was on my guard, he was on his warrior, after having 2 more warriors join us, he finally ask one what he is running, mostly cause we saw all three signets on his bar, this was the conversation. The best part was when the warrior whipped out his rifle during all the boss fights.

I don’t mind Icebow getting a nerf. I just don’t want to see it and Lightening Hammer, end up getting nerfed to the point they are not used at all. Bad enough we already have others that are already in this state.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
Anet says the trinity in GW2 will be DPS, Control, Support. And so it is.
People play 4 warrior 1 mesmer groups because its easy to farm the easiest dungeon with. People complain there is no control and no support. They QQ that “dps is all that matters.” Players say that DPS is overpowered.
The meta shifts as players improve. People utilize Deep Freeze and Defiant stripping to strongly CC bosses. Players complain that CC is overpowered.
The meta shift also includes and emphasis on defensive support in the form of Blinds, Stealth and Reflects to neutralize enemy attacks. People complain these support skills are overpowered.
So now we are at a point where people say that DPS, CC and Support are overpowered because… they work as their roles are intended to work. Actually it’s not true, some of the complainers still deny CC and Support are in the game but those people are truly ignorant we can ignore them.
We have finally reached a point in the development of the community playskill where most decent pug groups are utilizing the actual intended GW2 trinity of DPS, Control and Support and the predictable result is: these things are too good. In a little under 6 months the crybaby community went from “Control and Support don’t exist” to “Control and Support so powerful they are exploits.” It’s truly remarkable in a way.
I am really sad for the developers that they have a sizeable chunk of the player base who barely understand the game, barely understand that the developers said “DPS, support and control are our trinity” years and years ago, and cry to this day about Healers and Tanks. It must be deflating to deal with that. I only hope the devs know how to see the signal through the noise and phase out these sad people.
Exactly, would be so much better if all the people who QQ over the loss of their old trinity would, oh I don’t know, actually go play a game where that trinity exist, rather then set around here demanding changes to this game.
I often wonder if its just that WoW is still subscription based, and if it went buy to play like guild wars 2 if all those people complaining would go there and leave us alone.
Anet themselves stated if they wanted to remove skipping they could remove the leash. However they don’t mind it. Now if people would just stop joining the wrong groups maybe these un-needed threads would go away.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
Oh, and the HoT forum section is a kittening cesspool with all these “OMG healer Ventari healing meta death to zerk meta TRINITYYYYY!!!11!” threads. It’s freaking digusting.
Kinda why I haven’t even opend that fourm up. I was kinda meh when the Expansion was announced, guess I was kinda peved over how they did it. But in the days since its worn on me even more, not that I am not happy for the possibly of new content. Its just so annoying that people think this expansion is gonna completely re design the game.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
So I was helping explain the wardrobe to a new player in the player helping players fourm. here
When I had a thought, Since I only run zerker gear and don’t have to carry a hundred other sets (as people who have made complaints about the meta have insisted we need) have I have never had to spend alot on trasmutation charges. Hence the new meta slogan
“I saved hundreds of transmutation charges by switching to Meta!!”
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
Some armor add to your stats like adding to power. These are not important?
Also I’m very confused by “Once a peice of gear is transmuted it will keep that look until you decide to transmute it again or destory it.”
So if I simply unequip the helm, then re-equip it again right away, will my appearance in my wardrobe be gone and I have to spend another transmutation charge?
Also, if i use transmutation charge on an item, can I still sell it later in the TP (assuming it’s not bound)
No, you never lose the apperance of the skin from your wardrobe. Once you unlock the skin it will be there from now until you quit the game. You are free to unequip or change gear as much as you like. The apperance of that peice of gear will stay unless you decide you want to change it.
I think you might have read something from the old system which confused you. In the old system the two peice of gear got smashed together, you got to pick which of three things you to keep,
1. Apperance (skin)
2. Stats
3. Rune/sigil
In a sense you lost one peice of gear to put its apperance onto another peice. That isn’t the case anymore.
I am pretty sure you can’t transmute anything unless you equip it now. I have a guild staff skin i bought on my theif because I thought it was account bound and not soul bond. I tried to put my ascended staff in my theifs inv and transmute that way, it wouldn’t work. System only let me transmute what I had equiped.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
some armor add to your stats like adding to power. These are not important?
Sorry if I mis-understood. I thought you were refering to traits.
The stats that your armor brings is important, more so after HoT. However in terms to what your wardrobe does it isn’t.
Of course if you want different sets with different stats to look a certain way you would have to go about geting each peice of gear with the stats you want say a zerker sword for PvE and a soldier for wvw, then put the skin on them you like. Each sword would cost a charge to change its apperance. But you would only need to do it oncer per weapon, or peice of gear.
In PvP you amulet gives all your stats, so you could fight naked with only your weapons and you would have no problemss.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
You need a skin. These apper in your Wardrobe and will always remain there.
These skins come from soulbinding/salvage or mystic forging other items. Say you really like the Protector helm. Human T3 helm, and you buy it, this will unlock it for your wardrobe since the helm automatically soulbinds.
Then you can use a trasnmutation charge to put the look of that helm on any other peice of gear any time. As many times as you like, but each time you do you have to use another charge.
Once a peice of gear is transmuted it will keep that look until you decide to transmute it again or destory it.
You can farm charges by maping the Main cities of each race or by doing pvp. I have never bought any charges from the store and currently set at about 50 in my wallet right now.
Your bulid is unrelated to your armor.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
If I recall correctly since the change over. You can only use the Versatile for the first slot. You have to build up the rest from the infusion drops to place it in the second slot.
I have yet to try it since I have fully ascended armor weapons and trinkets with the versatiles in them.
Pulling is intended, and it is helpful. Anytime you are going to fight its best to pick your ground. Doesn’t matter if its in the old FGS corners or in the middle of the room. The idea as has been said is to put as many foes into your AOE as possible, so you take less damage and move on faster.
If the devs didn’t want us pulling smaller groups off the lager ones, they could have set up the AI to all charge us when we try to pull a smaller group of mobs. I don’t think of it as lazy, I think of it as strategic
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
exactly, where do they think all the quaggan backpacks come from? quaggan skins of course.
My quaggan backpack is a live quaggan strapped to my back with fully padded leather and silk~ He travels in the epitome of luxury and style Cooooooooooo
You can thank my necro for that custom job, isn’t easy making a quaggan zombie.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
honestly I don’t care what they call it, I don’t think anyone will really pay that much attention after 2 weeks or so, it will just be another trait line. Dragonbane makes me think of a plant though, like wolfsbane.
“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
So I have to pug frequently when I do dungeons. Most of my friends have left and there are really only 3 of us left. Last night I got a warrior who felt the need to tell me after the dungeon was done that we didn’t need to stack walls anymore since the FGS nerf.
I am well aware of this. But since its a pug group I can’t expect everyone to know this. Many pugs still stack those corners just like way back then. And they don’t know why. I know why, but I don’t feel the need to argue everytime I pug as to why we don’t need to stack anymore.

“We have now left Reason and Sanity Junction. Next stop, Looneyville.”
On a side note, I still find it annoying to blast 25 stacks of might and feel good about the group I am in, only to have the other guard us a staff and cut the duration of said might in half

To be fair, they’ve responded a few times and even talked a little about it in developer chats, but nothing concrete on the issue. I think it’s important to keep this discussion going for both veteran and new players of both games. Even if we don’t get Cantha in GW2, perhaps it will change things for the next installment of the franchise (GW3) etc.
Oh I know they have responded. But that hasn’t been for a while. And this is one of the longest running threads on the forums. Surprised it hasn’t just been locked.
