Guild Wars 2

I had a similar suggestion post which got completely ignored, maybe yours can make a difference.

sorudo.9054:

if they would ever do this, they probably have it trough ether the gem store, behind a huge limited grind fest or in a chest….the RNG one…..
just imagine, an armor that looks really nice and can be bought like a normal armor for a normal price (like 1g for chest gear), that would be as if Anet cares about the community…..

My suggestion would obviously be for season 2, as season 1 is wrapping up and what i meant was that they should release parts of the armor with the LS updates so by the time the LS wraps up you end up with a full set (as opposed to a bunch of parts that do not match with each other), they can still put out back items and such as there would be a lot of updates if they continue with the 2 week updates.

I do not, however, think that it would be a good thing for this armor to be bought but earned, just like it is now through the metas. Of course once the LS wraps up the armor should be gone as well, this would show who was there for the evens that took place. Unfortunately as much as i like a lot of the skins that the LS has brought with it its kind of hard to show them off while they sit in my bank. And as we all know GW2 isn’t really “multiple skin” friendly

I don’t see why it can’t happen if enough people like the idea, that is what suggestions ate for right? I always did wonder why we never got tops or pants.

Gw2 has been baby stepping since launch. At one point you have to take off and run.

Wouldn’t it had been cool if at the end of the LS we eneded up with a full set of armor gained purly from LS patches? That way we could show that we were present at key parts of the story and untill the end. I find this better than 200 back items, 100 shoulders and 50 head pieces that just sit in bank for lack of characters to use on (I have 8 80’s) what are your thoughts?

I call b.s…

You can also get blade shards from the watchwork node in the home instances.

Really? Where was this confirmed? (I haven’t harvested any of my home nodes since I’ve gotten them. Just don’t want to take the time to go there and do it)

nekretaal.6485:

There’s also Aetherblades in the TA aetherpath and in edge of the mists (but those hit like trucks)

Forgot about the TA path (still haven’t done it). Has anyone tried either of these and gotten blade shards from them?

I can confirm it comes from the node. I got one from harvesting it.

Same…. At first I thought I wasn’t doing enough dmg but that’s not the case since I got xp and event reward on all insntances.

Rising Dusk.2408:

I love these weapon skins. That said, it disappoints me that what I would consider the most attractive weapon set in game from GW1 has absolutely zero prestige associated with it in GW2. I mean, sure, you could buy the stuff to get them in GW1, but because the items that gave you these items only originated in one of the hardest instances in-game, the cost was huge. These will be locked to the ticket value of a BL ticket, which essentially makes them… worthless. No prestige, just some minor monetary cost, and that’s it.

I would gladly pay a monthly subscription, honestly, if it meant we could get real content with real rewards again. That said, hooray to ANet for making money.

This.

People asked for these… Yes the implementation was horrible but it was a request over a year old.

Why are you surprised. They did the exact same thing with the zodiac weapons.

Tormented weapons was kind of the “End Game” weapons in gw1, zodiacs were meh.

They were still elite dungeon weapons. Its the same principle. Its just tormented weapons are more popular/more prestigious?

I kind of expect every new skin to be gemstore. But i really hope if anet ever get round to elite dungeons, they add some exclusive non tradeable skins into them.

With the big difference that tormented could be added to the HoM

Ahh that shield brings back sweet memories…. Sad I have to buy it with dollars…

I’ve heard the 5% theory as well but I never bothered to put it into a calculator, I would be surprised if its even that much.

+1, this is extremely annoing… Why is there a need for a loading screen if you end up at the same map… Right below where u are standing… Lets get some Q&A going plz.

I can once I get home but ill tell you right now, if the difference in stats is whats going to convince you to craft an ascended set it won’t, the difference is miniscule and the only reason ascended armor is there is for a treadmill.

You have inspired me to build you a golem. -Takes off to Wal-Mart.-

Npc 1: Have you seen my husband?
Npc 2: You don’t want too know.
Npc 1: Drunk again.
Npc 2: Nope, dead, he didn’t make it out of LA.

The site is poorly designed for mobile… Ill have to wait till I get home to take a look

Making it craftable through all 3 professions was the best and most balanced move they could take. This gives you 3 options when it comes to crafting it. The imbalance in price come from other things that cannot be helped right now.

I would rather be kicked to the last place I was standing at when I used the ship, kinda like wvw, this way you don’t have to load multiple times and you can resume your play after logging, this would also skip the checking for ticket step as suggested by the OP. In my case if I logged off at the ship is cause I was selling/storing my items, wich means I won’t need to be on the ship the next time I log

Seras.5702:

I got the cutscene again even when I logged into a character that’s 1) been to LA since the patch and 2) was in Rata Sum.

I think (and dont quote me on this) that whenever there’s is a patch (to fix a bug or something) it resets as if you had never watched it.

+1, You’ve said all that needs to be said and included they nay sayers with it.

Were you wearing full berserker ascended armor? If not there is your problem

Is “goes boom” a trend now?

Logging off will kick u off and send u back to where u were kinda like wvw, not sure if clicking the pass again to make u leave… But it should

Why can’t there be a middle ground where the blue parts are dyeable?

Swagg.9236:

Eudaemons.1596:

Uh, I’m quite sure there will have to be a bit of reworking on the female tops….

Just because your skin is blue when you wear it doesn’t make it any less lewd. The armor sets are fine.

Its not meant to be skin, its a body suite. Else there would be some dark blue nipple action going on.

I would say that a huge number of players such as myself love to mix match armor, in the passed I’ve bough armor from the shop for 1 part of it that I like (the rest sits in my bank) but the fact that this armor has this blue attached to it makes it difficult to use this way… I would love to use the heavy pants on my guardian… But not changing the blue prevents me from doing this. Undyeable parts is a big turn off for me.

That’s why it should be account bound and consumed on use… Than ill buy it

Olaya.9164:

Zodiac armors look really cool. Although I will never buy it ( just like most players out there ) because the undyeable blue parts. This fact makes the customization extremely restricted. Not everybody likes that flashy blue. I still don’t get the logic on that decision, since A-net will get a much lesser profit this way. If those blue parts were dyeable, much more players ( me included ) would gladly buy it. Maybe if this thread gets more reaction from the community, A-net will listen and eventually make it all dyeable ( fingers crossed ).

Remeber that the forum users are a tiny minority of the games population so in order for this to happen it would rquire pages upon pages of requests, and in my opinion people that don’t like the undyable parts will just not buy it and not complain.

Its the peoples faults really, we should have learned by now when something good comes into the gem store something better will follow. Its a trend really at this point. You have to ask your self… Do I buy this now? Or should I wait for the upgraded version few patches down? Must will give in and cry at the end. Moral of the story? Learn from passed experiences and evolve.

Thanks for the education, but I buy whatever I want whenever I want, yes, that includes “P2W” if I feel like it. Please, keep that Occupy Tyria-stuff to yourself.

Obiously my post was not for individuals such as yourself who seem to like to make it rain on dat P2W, it was meant for the people that agree with the fact that gw2 was never meant to be a p2w game, so you can keep your “its my party and I cry if I want to” comments to yourself.

Undyeable parts turn me off…

You, sir, are a troll.

I seriously hope that you’re wrong, not to be rude to you, but because that would be the absolute line in the sand for me. Coming out with better and better things will only lead to a pay to win game, and if that happens, ArenaNet will ruin their own rep and trust.

Isn’t the new watchwork pick and air ship pass prove of this?

Sauzo.6821:

Grats but I think I will just stick with my ascended capacitor. That new back piece is freakin hideous looking. Looks like spider legs growing out of your back.

Agreed, even if it looked awesome I would still stick to an item that shows some degree of skill to get. Even if its not much. It took me endless runs of fractals while this was gotten in a few hours of zerging and gold.

nekretaal.6485:

Vigil keep doesn’t have a laurel vendor either.

It does.

Vol.7601:

What do you want them to say? Everything that has had to be said without spoiling anything has already been forwarded to media sites.

Communicating with the players is never a bad thing.

Well I’ve been proven wrong, a dev closed a topic about gold sellers, all is well.

Topic deleted in 3…2…..

Morsus.5106:

Let’s set up a fund to help her set up her shop somewhere else. Mail your gold to me, and I’ll make sure she get’s her shop built.

Sounds legit. Can I deduct this donation from my taxes?

Safe to say this has been the only LS release that hasn’t gotten a single red post on its forum. Why is that? Don’t want to spoil anything or is there really nothing to discuss?

Thalador.4218:

I’m starting to think their writers are so uninspired that they “borrow” ideas from pop culture just to keep this train wreck of an LS going…

This is untrue, pop culture refferences date back since the start of gw1, its a way to implement things while having a bit of fun.

If I recall correcly its called Escape from LA… But ill fight till the end.

Just kidding! Who is ready to run like hell?!

My personal opinion is that LA will become a regular explorable area with foes just like all the rest, this will keep all world exploration there. All we are losing is a town.

Keep in mind that the tp is global and u should place buy orders during the week while selling on the weekend when prices are high, also take to time look for more items so u have more than 2-3 pages, this way if you get out bit just cancel it and move to the next thing. I would recomend looking for high priced items to invest on, once you get to 500g coppers and silver are not that satisfieing to make.

Thanks for posting. It looks like re-skinned feathered armor.

It is…
