“We hate this drip, drip, drip of the Living Story. We want a paid expansion.”

“Here’s a paid expansion.”

“What? I don’t want to pay cash for an expansion. Can I pay in gold?”

Honestly, a fine example of kitten if you do, kitten if you don’t.

They’ve stated it’s bigger than any of the current regions, the ones with multiple zones. They aren’t giving us a pocket zones like Dry Top or Silverwastes.

Q: The Glowy Eye Masks In Gem Store

So, guys, just as I suggested: some combinations are so out of hand because of clipping, and some are perfectly fine (something to do with the face itself+some sort of helm). They could create a table stating “this eye” combines with “this helm, this blindfold, this wreath”, etc. Or “this monstruous thing” combines only with “this little detail in the eye”, or “this item” combines with nothing, because it hides all the face.

It certainly is not easy, I must admit, and would take heavy effort to implement, but it may bring some extra profit in the long run.

They could so something like they do for Dry Top items (you get scarfs+spectacles and combine them through crafting). They could even create a table of “matching headgear”, it would say “category A combines with other As, and B with other Bs” so weird combinations wouldn’t be made. Combining them would require something unique at Mystic Forge (aside from two base items, of course). It would be a success for GemStore sales. #profit_idea_unleashed

I look forward to the bounceback these prices will suffer once the expansion is out and people realize the “crafting” will be incredibly difficult and a huge time sink.

If you think the process of obtaining new precursors will be this magical easy skill based system you’re wrong.

No one is expecting that since the core of collections revolves around collecting ITEMS which may be expensive, but the progression feel is much more rewarding. So yeah, most players will trash TP once precursor collections become available.

I’m a guy and if they changed how mesmers look I know my mesmer won’t be my main anymore.
Those animations give the class its personality, mesmers has always been purple and I’d like them to stay that way..

That’s exactly the reason why I’m not making The Bifrost for my Eles.. it makes all attacks in attunments look the same, and I think that takes away the feel of “elements” and instead you’ll be shooting stupid rainbows no matter what’s the attunment.

You do realize this is only true for auto-attacks, right?

Well, I have a guildie who crafted all of them so current precursors are useless for him.

They are not useless until he forged on leggie twice to become a Twice Told Legend.

What if I told you he also has that title? duuun duun duuuuunnn…

He’s not normal. ._.

Then precursors still wouldnt be useless to him because he can sell them on the tp.

I know, but he won’t be forging for precursors. If it drops he sells, if not, meh. No more running after them.

Now that Season 2 of the Living Story has capped off, Super Adventure Box would be a wonderful feature to bring back while we wait for Heart of Thorns! Not to mention, all the new players who just bought the game during the recent $10 sale will likely get a kick out of it.

Or be scared by it. I personally LOVE SAB, no kidding it’s my favorite content in GW2 and I miss it very much (I LOVED W2 tribulation mode, had lots of rage and cheers along with friends/guildies), but I can see how others may perceive this as game-breaking, or an unworthy content. That’s why I wanted this to be permanently in-game, so they wouldn’t make it available as a “content patch” for others to rage at ANet that this isn’t actual content (for them) since it would be already in-game permanent content.

I’ve bought Infinite Continue Coin myself (I’m not trying to enforce I’m entitled to it because I bought this item), and I would buy a home instance SAB Entrance Portal “gift”, even if access was limited to entrance tickets (obviously gained inside SAB). Wildstar had portals to dungeons/raids in players’ sky homes, maybe this is an opportunity to follow along that same idea and increase home instance’s usefulness?

In any case, I think they might bring SAB between now and expansion release. I’m looking forward to that.

@Edit
And for God’s sake. Don’t tone down Tribulation Mode difficulty. Seriously, ArenaNet, this is not needed. There are normal and INFANTILE modes which speak for themselves. Follow same pattern you did for World 2, SAB Tribulation must make justice to its name. #kthxbai

Man can you imagine the rage if one of the specializations for a class was a new water weapon..

Would be funny for those that don’t play the class, but a rage for those that do.
Unless they plan on fixing underwater combat.

First, there will not be, that’s not likely because UW combat is much limited and wouldn’t be useful in any major aspect of the game. Second, there ain’t anything to be fixed, 3D perception gets “messed up” underwater for most people but I believe it’s more of a getting used issue than anything else.

Most skills on eles are situational, you don’t really have to switch attunements that frequently (specially for staff builds). S/D on the other hand can really hurt your brains depending on dungeon group and challenge. While I’m using staff I usually sit on fire attunement for almost all the fight, and switch if I need to slow down enemies, or knock ’em back, etc.

oh no, let them crash, the joy of ppl whining about a price drop is like music through my ears.
the only ones who worry about a price drop are the ones who want to sell them, the ones who want to buy them are only seeing this as good news.

Actually, any player who wants to craft their legendaries in a more exciting and fun way see this as good news. Amassing gold is the ultimate boring stuff to acquire a precursor.

Not sure how you got that conclusion. He didn’t imply at all that all (meaning precursors that existed before HOT and the precursors that will exist after HOT) the precursors will be apart of the collections by the words you posted. By the words you posted he literally just said they’re going to be introducing new legendaries and precursors for those legendaries. He says no where in that quote about previously available precursors being available through collections.

watch pax. They were discussing that currently precursors are the hardest part in a legendary, therefore precursors will now be gotten trough the mastery system. Old ones as well.

That is my understanding as well.

I think on a more practical note: if you don’t have to amass gold, you can spend gold on other stuff. Even if you need lots of matt, they’re not the currency “gold” itself, so you can do more with your gold than just letting it sitting in your inventory.

Also, I believe precursor earned through the new collections will be acc-bound.

Nothing changed yet, ppl still need pre’s and they are still very hard to get ATM, the expansion might not be out for 6 months, within 6 months you can easily get a couple legendaries.

We also dont know how “Hard” they will be to get, and if they will be account bound as well. If they are Account bound and takes 50-60hrs game play to get, thats enough time to farm dungeons for a pre so prices will still stay the same.

Not really. People can farm the rest (Gift of Fortune, specific Gift for that legendary, etc) and leave precursor for the new collection-based scavenger hunts. Well, that’s the cheapest path (or at least less boring).

Can you please link where anet said its one precursor per account only i must’ve missed that info, seems a bit bad only being able to make only one.

You didn’t read well. You will be able to get all precursors:
“Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns expansion will bring a collection-based precursor scavenger hunt. Players will be able to acquire one precursor PER collection per account, these collections will be unlocked by spending mastery points.”

As long as TP chains are released, I pretty much prefer a skill-based “farming” if you may, than gold.

[Wiki] Official races flag - help

Hi there, devs and players!

I’m Valento and I’m a somehow active wiki editor. Since the beginning (or as long as I help editing it) the GW2 wiki has been using some icons to identify races, but it seems those were deprecated, and during recent events in LS we’ve discovered what each race’s flag looks like. I just wanted to know from the devs if these are official so we can change wiki icons to more accurately match the game. If any dev could confirm this, it would be much appreciated (Gaile to the rescue!).

I’ve attached screenshots below for each race along with small fan-made icons (which are, btw, just work-in-progress).

Thank you for your time!

They will be reestructuring LS1 content to fit into Story Journal, but they just don’t have a time frame as this demands a reasonable amount of time/effort/money/people/etc. We already have many instances in Open World, this would be no different.

@Edit
On a further note, they could consider large scale battles as raids. So some story CHAPTERS would automatically be raids and allow up to 24 people.
