Guild Wars 2

Is it possible to record my own VO’s and replace the ones in-game? Just curious.

Perhaps the largest question I still have, how would everyone feel if the only changes to commander were the smaller scale ones? The other stuff is super interesting and has a lot of promise, but is also a major task and one I can’t make any guarantees about. I suppose the crux of the question is how priority is the rest of the stuff, if the smaller bits are taken care of? Would the commander system be functional enough with more markers, guild only tags, less suppression, better supplyinfo, and possibly additional marker shapes?

More markers, less suppression better supplyinfo and more marker shapes/colors would be a godsend. I guarantee you we would make great use of that. It would make a world of difference in both WvW and PvE.

WvW: Just having different color tags would be great because we could coordinate between different groups. Defense teams / Offense Teams / roaming groups / etc.

PvE: Having multiple tags would help with even things as simple as guild missions. Most of the Guild Challenge missions, for example would benefit greatly from this. Even things like LS events would be helpful if we knew what each commander was doing based on color / a little bit of text above the marker.

TL;DR – Small stuff good! Do big stuff later!

Boss theme armor would be awesome.

It would. I’d be tempted to do world bosses again if this happened. Even if its a small chance at a random piece.

Exactly what I’m saying! It’d be great to see a reinfusion of people doing world bosses (at least on low pop servers like Devona’s Rest.

Seeing as how it’s apparently possible to just re-skin old armors, I wonder if it would be possible to perhaps make an artifice recipe/special dye that would allow us to dye our armor with new “effects” themed around the different types of combo fields . Fire, Ice, Water, Dark, etc. Gah, that’d be awesome.

If you’ve already equipped that Legendary on another character, you can’t. It’s now soulbound.

In the event that you haven’t soulbound it to one of your characters, it’s as easy as putting it in your bank.

Honestly, I don’t mind that there are some armor sets/town clothes in the gem store. I just wish there were a balance of some kind. Why couldn’t they make this fiery T3 Cultural armor something you could buy with gold? An alternate version?

I fear this thread has gotten away from me and this will go unanswered from anyone in a position to comment on the issue, but if anyone’s listening who can do something about this: Please change this. I really love Guild Wars 2, it’s honestly my favorite MMO I’ve ever played. But the sheer volume of skins available on the gem store only, combined with the lack of substantial, meaty content (both story wise and cosmetically) in the game is concerning.

Maybe this less a plea to change just the armor sets and more a plea to add more end-game content. Fractured is a good step (finally some permanent content!) but please give us more. I would GLADLY trade the seemingly non-stop parade of uninteresting Scarlett chases for slightly less frequent, but more meaty patches.

Referring back to my original post: I’d love to see things like Heroic Dungeons, change up the world bosses, make the more interesting/more dynamic. Make them effect the whole zone, or even the surrounding zones. More craftable armor that people actually wanted to wear.

Next up: Legendary weapon skins on the Gem Store for 2000 gems each. You know it’ll happen. And I’ll be waiting with my $25. Thank you for my Twilight, I’m so glad I didn’t waste all that time farming those mats/money when they were obviously just going to offer it for real money sometime.

Only half joking

Me no do math gud. Sorry about that. Anyway, good news! T3 Human light armor is (temporarily) cheaper then before! Merry Christmas!

Agree with wanting new non gemstore armor sets (though we have gotten armor pieces here and there).

One detail, though… the gemstore version doesn’t cost roughtly the same by far. Buying 800 gems with today’s prices (checkign gw2spidy, not at home so can’t get into the game) would be roughly 70g…. a far cry from 120g you’d need to buy the full T3 set + 16g to get 200 gems to purchase enough transmutation crystals to apply the skins to exotic gear, and that’s for what some consider a cooler version because of the flames (not me, but I’ve never liked flamey armor).

Actually, the current exchange rate is 8g 8s per 100 gems (if you were to convert money → gems) so it would cost about 91g to buy the gem store version. Granted it’s cheaper, but not that much cheaper.

Anyway, that wasn’t really my concern. I just know that Arena Net is trying to give more paths to obtaining different things. I was wondering more if this translated to armor skins as well, or if armor skins will remain a gem store only item.

First of all, I get that people are upset about the reskinned T3 armor (despite the fact that it costs just as much, if not more then actual T3 if you were to pay enough gold to have 800 gems). This thread is not for that discussion.

My question to the developers is why are there so many armor sets coming out on the Gem Store only? I get that the game needs to continue making money, but I would love it if we could get some new armor sets that were attainable through other means. Means that feel more fulfilling then just “I gave Arena Net my money.”

Some ideas I’ve been thinking up on ways to do this:
Dragon/World Boss Armor – I play on Devona’s Rest server which, despite being a “high population” server, struggles to get enough people to even finish Jormag a lot of times. Not to mention I don’t think we’ve ever downed Tequatl. Why not give people a renewed incentive to take down world bosses? Have each world boss drop the occasional “scale” or some kind of unique item that could then be used to purchase, or even craft their own world boss specific armor. Shatterer armor, anyone? Ice themed Jormag armor? GIMME!

Fractal Armor – Come on, this is as legit dungeon, right? It doesn’t have to be ascended armor, but something to match the fractal weapons would be great! It might give me something to spend all those Fractal Relics on.

Male/Female version toggle – I must admit, while I get that the ladies are supposed to be “sexy” or whatever, I don’t necessarily want to my character to be showing off her underboob all the time, when a male character gets, IMO, a much better look from the exact same set. Example of what I mean: Male / Female.

Heroic Dungeons – Look, I love dungeons. I think they’re one of my favorite parts of this game, honestly. But many of them have become horribly boring and very easy. I thought Aetherblade path was a good start to refreshing TA. Granted, it’s a bit long, but I like the difficulty curve. I feel awesome everytime I finish it. Why not make a more difficult path for every dungeon that would drop unique tokens that could then be used to buy new, more epic looking armor?

Hmmm, I think you might be a tad confused on how Daylight Savings Time works. The entire country (with the notable exception of Arizona) will fall back an hour. So 1PM Pacific Time will still be 2PM Mountain Time, 3PM Central Time and 4PM Eastern.

I’m officially excited about this! By the looks of the Reddit post, a lot of other people are getting really excited too.

1) New Armor Sets (perhaps sets specific to the different world bosses. I’d love to have a Shatterer Heavy Armor set.)

2) More Story missions Let’s kill those elder dragons! (Honestly, while I love the living world stuff, it feels like none of it matters because there’s so little to do in each one. I genuinely hope there is an expansion of some kind in the works. The thing that won me over to GW2 was the overwhelming sense of wonder when I first started. The world felt genuinely MASSIVE and there were people friggin everywhere! Now everyone just huddles together in LA and the various dungeons/champ farms)

3) Guild Halls and a United Major City Chat (I give a caveat with this one. I would love it if Guild Halls were not only customizable with things like Vendors, Crafting tables and a Guild Hall of Monuments, but actually were instances within buildings within the major cities, not just LA. I love Divinity’s Reach but have almost no reason to ever go there. But if my Guild Hall were based there, I’d be there all the time! Especially if the city chat were the same no matter where I went so I didn’t miss anything.)

BONUS) Major Events throughout the World reflected in Major Cities (This actually harkens back to my WoW days. I distinctly remember how awesome it was walking into Stormwind City or Orgrimmar and seeing the Head of Nefarion hanging from the gates and getting a buff because of it. How great would it be if we could hang Teq’s head over the Mystic Forge in Lion’s Arch? It would be a reason to celebrate and band the players together to cheer for one another!)
