It is not accurate to compare a tv series and a game story – they work in two entirely different ways. To even try and emulate a TV series in a game is utter folly. Season 1 proved that.
Yes, they work in different ways. But they can have similarities. Like storytelling. A TV series can have a good storytelling and a computer game can have a good storytelling.
Greetings.
Telltale’s “The Walking Dead” is better than most tv series, even better than AMC’s “The Walking Dead” if you ask me
But .. I agree with your point ..
It’s rare to see good story in videogames, it does happen though :P
Don’t ever bring the phantom hood.
You know you shouldn’t.
It should come back halloween, but don’t think it should before.
We have so many fire themed armors. Let’s get some frosty armor and back skins.
What both share is a fantasy universe, that’t it :P
there is that permanent bank license for 800 gold on the TP.
and there is a permanent hair for sell atm too 4999 gold.
so 800 g each for a bank on all 8 characters .. hmm ..
Please learn what “propaganda” means.
Everything you said is right .. but .. footsteps
Make Wizards hat available
Left 4 dead did this.
I know, the games are so alike I just had to compare them.
Someone at ANet really needs to learn the definition of recap.
Or maybe you do ?
It was a recap, NOT a trailer.
And I thought it was great, allthough it made the story of season 1 seem much better than it actually was
Read the mail you got
" I am curious if ANET will award title and mini pet for a valiant effort in constant tries."
NO NO NO NO NO
:)
I’m on EU and play alot at night. Have done teq many times at 4 am in the morning.
If you have seen to little people in sparkly it’s most likely just because people don’t know the times were changed.
I don’t think people understand that it isn’t that easy to just “resest” a personal story. It’s not just personal story it’s everything in the game linked towards your race. How other NPC’s interact with you, cultural armor, etc. And as Jokke said they won’t do race changes , sorry.
So true – also character slots are not that expensive. You can just roll a new character. IF we were limited in the number of character slots, I could see this. As it is now – no way as you have an option that is cheaper and easier for the programmers/developers to deal with, a new slot.
Getting full inventory slots on a new character will make it a lot more expensive.
And I want it to be same proffession. Doesn’t make much sense to me to have 2 of the same proffessions when the change is just appearence, story and a few race skills. That most people already done on another character anyway.Not as simple as it sounds. if you had racial armor – they would have to remove it, etc.
people would complain. Not worth it.
Yeah it would be removed from the character you change race on, but would still be unlocked in wardrobe.

So when you reset, npc will interact with you like they will on your new race personal story 1 lvl. You ofc won’t be able to use the cultural armor on your new race, but you will still have it in your wardrobe unlocked for alts. I don’t see the problem still.
For one as I said if you can get confirmation from the devs that coding all of this is “easy” feel free. Also it breaks immersion. Another reason they won’t do it is because when you make your character that character is you until it’s deleted. People RP with their toons all the time which would break immersion IMMENSELY if you were able to go from human to charr, for example.
I never said it was easy.
It will def make them a lot of money, pretty sure the work would be worth it.
And .. You can already change your characters appereance completely AND go from a male to female character .. Now how does this not “break immersion” ?

I would love this to, but sadly wont happen because of personal story.
I don’t get it though. It could just reset the personal story on that character, problem solved.
Did you stop playing pvp or something?
Cause that is likely the answer to why you are not getting spammed anymore.
It’s absolutely horrible in pvp still.
I make $200 a day. That is $6000 a month. Get a life from farming and just buy the gems, support the game. $100 give 8000 gems convert to gold and enjoy yr kitten money. Dont be lazy kitten
Yes everyone who doesn’t make 6000 $ a month is lazy kittens o.o Low income = Lazy Logic!
A lot of people earning 2/10 of what you do is probably working a lot harder for their money than you do (have no idea how hard you work, but not important).
Not everyone have money to spare to buy gems, even though they go to work everyday. Maybe that is why they bought a b2p mmo.
If people want to farm, let them farm
Unless I’ve missed something the ‘full glory’ of Eternity is the fact that it changes between Sunrise and Twilight. Other than that the 3 swords are identical.
If you have Eternity and set it to always use the Twilight skin then you’ve basically just got Twilight with a different name.
It used to be that way, but eternity have been updated quite a lot.
It’s very unique looking. Have added skill effects, unique footsteps/aura and so on.
I really like my ranger But ranger and necro is probably the most selfish classes to play in pve.
Both ranger and necro really good for pvp.
Guardian is gold no matter where you play
I stopped doing fractals with a friend. He always kicks party if we wipe, and want me to confirm kick. I’ve done this once just cause I didn’t wanted to argue with him, and I felt terrible. Then they joined again and kicked us out
Justice was served.
Well I just deleted my lvl 80 engineer for a free char slot.
Problem solved!
About 50 g in a day.
Not a fast farmer or anything, I take it pretty casual.
I just play to much
I just tried to install, ofc it wont work on my outdated windows o.o
Go to sparkly fen an hour before to make sure to get kill on a good organized server with 5 commanders. If you don’t get into on, try use the LFG tool. Under “open world” try and see if you can find a party for organized teq, and join their server (you have to click join on player tab untill you get lucky to get a free spot thou :P)
Anet is already working (or at least thinking) about implementing this.
It’s a lot more work that you would think to get the capes to fit, with everything else and avoid clipping.
It have been rumored that legendary back skins will be capes. But then again, legendary back skins is a rumor itself
I just always search “skin” in tp when I want to look for them. Not so hard to find the skin you are looking for, I just organize from high to low price, most sets are around same prices.
But more options very welcome.
But would rather have the choice to search for light/medium/heavy armor only, now that we are talking about things that needs work on tp :P
Learn to play
Teq needs to spawn more often :S
The leggings is the only asc piece i didn’t reskin
I think the only decent piece is the eyes.
:¨¨(
Not sure how other engineers feel but personally I don’t think engineers currently benefit from Legendary weapons aesthetics wise.
I never have my pistol/shield or rifle out. Always have a kit in hand and therefore have no way to show off my hard work in game. I can’t think of a way around it but I do find it quite disapointing.
Create alts and get more use of the skins on them.
I see no reason to why we couldn’t have all UW weapons have skills on land.
It’s a game, a fantasy game.
We already have greatswords shooting projectiles
Been Ranger since Day 1, here’s mine. Ranger ftw
Agreed, rangers ftw!
Now reroll to Norn
Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe the Gifts have equal value, so being able to exchange them for another would mess with high end mat prices.
Its very similar to crafting a Twilight or a Frostfang and then saying you had a change of heart. If you start crafting down one legendary weapon line, you are then committed. Make very sure of what you want before you start.
I suppose they could eventually give them other uses or even make them salvageable. But an even trade for another Gift? I’m not sure about that.
I know they are not same value, but it could be for a fee or something.
I would be okay with just getting half!
Better than having it rotten in my bank.
Maybe the best would be to just get the 100 icy runestones back.
I don’t agree with the comparison with a crafted legendary.
This is while your grinding for it, before you choose to account bound your weapon. You also have a choice to sell your legendary after you craft it.
I think it would be a good feature, many people go for this or that and then loot a precursor for another legendary etc and change their minds.
(edited by jokke.6239)
.. the legendary gifts or just be able to exchange it to another gift.
I’m talking about the gifts dedicated to a legendary. Gift of Twilight, Gift of Frostfang etc.
I can’t possibly be the only one who have crafted one just to later change my mind on what legendary I want
1. Lots of starter zone champs got nerfed into vets. I hear the Frostgorge train got nailed as well. Might be able to find something in Kessex, but not as good.
2. Warrior, Guardian.
3. Can’t say, I’m from TC.
4. For speed runs? From what I hear, yes.
5. Yes.
6(?). Scarlet made the pretty part of Kessex hills ugly, and then ANet had her destroy Lion’s Arch in an attempt to make her a “serious threat”. ((Translation: We all knew she was going to attack, so they simply didn’t give us a chance to stop her. No NPCs tried to stop her. It happened, deal with it.)) LA is a wreck, but rebuilding. There’s a few lingering “Toxic Spore” events that pop up every now and then, but that’s mostly it.
Welcome back to pretty much the game you left, save with more nerfs. ((Town clothes: Nerfed. Trait points: Nerfed. Trait Unlocks: Nerfed. Server Communities: Nerfed. Champions: Nerfed. And custom arenas, if you bother with them, will soon/now cost gold instead of gems, in an attempt to force people to buy gold with gems to even out the exchange rate.))
They remove the gem requirement on custom arenas and your point is that they did this because they want us to buy gems O.o?
Ofc they obv want people to buy gems, since you know, it’s their income. But when they open up options to pay with gold instead of gems .. Then pls don’t complain ..
To OP. There have been a lot of new features to the game, not much permanent playable stuff though. But some .. New wvw map, 1 or 2 new pvp maps since you played, some mini games, new fractals, new dungeon path, new world boss and more that I can’t remember right now .
But, this should hopefully all change with season 2 beginning July 1st.
All content will be permanent in season 2, not returning events ofc thou, like dragon bash and so on.
Once u reach level 80, here’s a suggestion on how to gear up:
1) Grind COF dungeon for COF Tokens to buy exotic COF Zerker Gear
Zerker gear stats are: (Power, Precision, Ferocity)2) Grind to get either Pristine Fractals, Laurels, or Guild Commendations to buy Ascended Accessories. Again, you’ll want Zerker type. Remember, you cannot wear 2 of the same Ascended Accesories.
3) Once you have been fully geared up in Exotics and Ascended Accessories, its time to customize your look. One cheap suggestion is to do a search on level 80 exotic armor pieces on the TP, then sort from the cheapest ones. If you like the look and the price, buy it and unlock the skin if you haven’t already.
4) Now you are fully exotic/ascended accessories geared up AND having the look you want, what to do? Well, you can then GRIND for a Legendary, or you can GRIND daily dungeons and fractals. Or hey even create a new Alt and repeat the process ALL over again. Or you can prepare yourself for Season 2, where you’ll fight more Scarlet. shudder
Welcome to Level 80. It ain’t pretty.
3.6 k hours and I still think it’s pretty
Still my favorite mmo ever <3
Goldfarmers tends to not have very many achievment points, because they are you know .. farming gold ^^
If you want a full set of berserker gear fast you there is ways you can do it faster.
Do cof p1, p2 and p3 (p3 harder to find group for, also longer and more challenging)
But .. There is a cap on how much dungeon tokens you can earn each day .. So you shouldn’t really do the paths more than once each day.
If you do the story mode also in cof you will unlock a reward track in pvp where you also can get cof dungeon token + 3 weapons and 1 piece of armor for the track, and also a good amount of loot. When you have completed story mode just go in pvp and activate the track in reward track window. You will then progress on the reward track and earn the rewards just by playing. Hot join matches caps you at 25% a day on reward track progress, so after that you have to do arena matches (ranked matches) where you can join in a solo q or with a pre made team in team arena. You can keep repeating the track as much as you wish.
If you get tired of pvp you can also head to edge of the mists (wvw). There you will earn TONS of badges of honor. With those you can also buy gear for about 200-300 badges and 1-2 gold depending on gear (not sure at all about pricing, bad memory)
You will also earn pretty good gold in there. When you enter just look for the blue tag on the map. That is the commander that everyone follows. It requires no brain and is a good time to go make some money when you just want to turn your brain off
Pardon for bringing this up once again, but it’s still topical: the legendary weapon Select Stats dialog should include changing active sigil(s). Appropriately between a limited number the owner added in earlier. Not asking for a free meal here.
The stat selection mechanism was added to allow Legendaries to be used in different builds. Upgrade components are an integral, important part of them. I don’t need power stacks when dealing condition damage or might in a tanky build.
So I’m forced to keep a pile of ascended weapons along with the legendary one. I doubt this was the developer’s intention.
Legendaries should just have all sigils to choose from like wep stats
I think this would be fair.
