Guild Wars 2

How should we know? I am pretty sure they will introduce new skins for the ascended stuff but why do you think that they will look better ?

Come join the dark fabulous side.

Nice image of what has gone horribly wrong with the art direction in this game.

I think it’s a great picture!

Gimme an O
Gimme an P
Gimme an I
Gimme an N
Gimme an I
Gimme an O
Gimme an N

See how that works?

But he is right though. A.Net was more sensible in their previous game with what to add to the game designwise.

chengwen.8357:

Hey new to the game here , I just created a thief . Do equipment and weapon combinations matter early on in the game ? And do I only depend on the heart quests to level up ? Everything is so complicating :/

First of all use this subforum next time https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players

To you questions:

1. No not at all.
2. Basically everything gives you EXP – Exploring, gathering materials, crafting, doing events, doing hearts, doing daily achievements.

The dungeon was awesome.

What leggings are those?

Looks like T3 cultural norn

Yup T3 norn and a little bit of photoshop

Let legendary accessories change the appearance of the professionmechanics
*Ranger → Pets get different skins
*Engineer → Turrets/Kits look different
*Thief → “funny” effects like money falling out of the monster if you steal something
And so on

The dungeon was awesome.

Rifle for Thieves. We have the kittentiest range options in the game.

And you have the best gapclosers in the game.

Try killing things with a shield if you think scepter is bad.

Try killing things with a Warhorn on a Necromancer or Warrior.

Easy as hell, in fact I did 500 kills yesterday in 1 hour.

And could you please stop calling “achievements” cheevos, this is not xbox live.

Amadan.9451:

lol… he already have 1 legendary and a second gift for the second one. on a side note i tryed the invders exotic weapon in the mystic forge and it worked.

that finally answered your second question i believe

You know what the problem is? The thread title.

How delusional do you have to be to think that there are mmos without grind? I mean those games are supposed to be huge timesinks. If you don’t want to “waste” time on them play a good singleplayer RPG like The Witcher 2 or Gothic 1-3. It’s not like there aren’t any alternatives.

Nothing, I’ll save them for when A.Net releases new legendaries and turn them into t6 materials.

• buy siegeweapons and donate them to one of your WvW guilds on the server, they fight for you every week so you could at least help them via donations that actually help
• get a Gift of Battle just in case you every going to craft a legendary
• buy Skins, some of them are really beautiful if you are into more simple looking skins
• buy gear for your character to try out new builds that would work better with different stat-combinations

How about adding content for us to play instead of buying instruments on gem store?

It’s buying things in store that allow new content to be added. RL cash via gems supports this game.

Game sold over 3 mil, think that’s enough for new content and what we got? only fractals half a year ago. Im not paying them more so they add mini jumping puzzles and create more miniatures…

But I do because I enjoy it. So what’s your point?

Now we need “a little more bagdes” " a little less badges" threads

Legendaries provide other benefits (or they will do, at any rate), such as:

• Always being on par with the highest tier of gear
• The ability to swap stat combinations out for others while out of combat.

As for the visuals, who knows? Maybe they’ll give an aura or something?

I’m going to go with (and hope for) these points. Go through the long process of making Legendary trinkets just so you don’t have to make another set ever again. As someone with multiple sets per character, I’ll surely jump on more Legendary gear.

As for visuals, I don’t see a need for more. I’m already concerned with clashing visuals between weapons and back items, now they’ll add armor to the mix. Trinkets would be just overkill.

I think it’d be pretty neat if a different piece give different effects, with the aura intensifying the more pieces you have equipped. So:

• Amulet would affect your Elite visual
• Accessories and Rings would affect the visuals of skills 6 – 9

So a Warrior with a Bifrost-like Accessory would have their Stomp modified to cause a rainbow shockwave, as an example.

You could add class specific mechanics like burst skills or even better pets/turrets/minions to that. I’d love to be able to customize my pet a little bit ;_;

Erasculio.2914:

Grounder.7381:

but knowing that trinkets don’t have visuals..

Yet.

The Wind Catcher was likely a test to try an accessory giving an aura. I would expect similar, only stronger, effects from Legendary trinkets – like the flaming aura from the Predator.

Yeah this is going to look awesome, right? Trinket aura(s), backpack aura, weapon aura. People will look like champions that get attacked by 50 people.

Grounder.7381:

legendary trinkets?!!! lol
ascended was ok..
but going as far as legendary tier..? the gap for exotics will only widen!!
/facepalm

Your post is pretty much /facepalm.

Ascended Armor isn’t exclusive to crafting.

So, where do we get it else where?

This new tier of crafting material, along with the new guaranteed material rewards mentioned earlier and some other materials we’ll introduce will be used to craft ascended weapons, armor, and more. These weapons and armor will also be able to be found as rare drops from locations in the world. Ascended weapons and armor will remain account-bound like other ascended gear.

There you go

Ascended Armor isn’t exclusive to crafting.

Svetli.4276:

Not only money for armors, weapons, runes BUT 60 L FOR AMULET AND MF INFUSION !
i even get 1 earing with GC

will we get this back ?

you do what you like and don’t care for everyone that spend time and money getting this gear
“oh we will just delete” SO SIMPLE FOR YOU REALLY !

What’s the point of creating a thread about a blogpost you haven’t read?

Dawdler.8521:

XxTAFxX.6741:

As using a condition remover in pve can and does mess my dmg for a useless skill in pve tbh,and can take away a minion i would otherwise need.

But if it removes permanent cripple, how is it a useless skill?

I really dont understand your argument. Its a bug and I have no doubt Anet will fix it in the next patch, we know that. But you can still avoid it. Its not like your character will die just because you pick a condition removal skill. If you do, I’d like to know what skill you replaced because I want it so I’m invincible. Crippled, but invincible.

But his Damage! Think about it!

Grounder.7381:

it will render all existing legendaries useless!!! (in fashion)

What’s with this weird mindset “new and rare = awesome” I really don’t get it. Did you make your legendary because it is rare or because it looks awesome? Does it magically start looking worse if they add new legendaries?

I’d actually like to see a performance increase. The BLTC loads way too slow, at least on my end.

There is a title you get for reaching 20k achievementpoints I am pretty sure they are going to add more permanent achievements sooner or later.

Svetli.4276:

with the new grind fest coming up gw2 will go so far from gw1
oh ye

But the grind in GW1 was even worse. And I am not talking about the optional grind.

If you are not playing fractals you can just wait, imo. All the content can easily be done with exotic or rare gear without any problems.

i read legendary gear.

amulet, accessories, rings for me.

I don’t think this will ever happen. Amulets etc. don’t change your appearance.
A legendary armor box or crafting a legendary armor one by one would be kinda neat.
(psssh A.Net don’t waste your time on designing new armors just use the Fissure of Woe Skins from GW1)

oh, it will happen.

the convenience of changing stats for back item, amulets, accessories, rings is legendary worthy.

Well depends on how hard they are to obtain. I’d love to see legendary accessories but only if they get a proper flavor text ;_;

Astralporing.1957:

(psssh A.Net don’t waste your time on designing new armors just use the Fissure of Woe Skins from GW1)

…please, don’t. Most of those were quite ugly.

Ugly? Most of them were really simple design-wise except the warrior maybe. I’d love to see those armors back in GW2 after all those spiky shiny fiery armorsets.

It’s a known bug. They are working on fixing it.

No it is correct

No                                  

Thank you A.Net.

>First, is the new Celestial Armor considered ascended armor (if not, then why would I bother working on Celestial gear when they are going to be coming out with Ascended gear soon?)?

Celestial isn’t an upgrade it is just another stat combination that A.Net added to the game and it is not considered to be ascended armor.

We have the Warrior for that and your post is a suggestion

This list is obviously not complete. You can expect an increase of gold after each massive chest.

VidGhost.3215:

dont worry for 6+ months of grinding you can get a legendary helmet that will be able to change stats to whatever you want..

Oh and +6 months of grinding for every other piece of armor

Or you could get the upcoming ascended weapons and armor for 1+ month of grinding “each” but those wont let you change stats! … welcomes to GWgringfest 2.0 coming to drive people Grind crazy soon!

Working for something = grinding?
How would you like the game to be? A.Net releases a new Set of non-gemstore Weaponskins!! Wush you got a new ingame mail “Here is your complete set of the new set! have fun with it”

Is this how you want the game to be? Why is working towards something considered to be grinding?

Do you actually care about it? I mean you didn’t even bother posting it into the right subforum.

Padapwn.5924:

Reason for Gw1 was so fun was how many different builds you could run and the fact that you had access to THE SAME STATS across the board.

But this is a flat out lie. Why do GW1 “fans” keep on lying about their game? There were armors with lots of + energy, with lots of + health, lots of armor vs xx. You even had skills that got stronger by maxing out PvE titles.

I don’t or at least I would not. I am kinda forced right now. The majority plays MMOs theses days as singleplayer rpgs with an interactive gameguide aka mapchat. It is sad.

What is so fun about farming? I really don’t get it.

What should we discuss about? This clearly belongs into players helping players.

To answer your question:
1. Yes you will most likely have to buy them again
2. You have to deal with it.

You won’t be saying that when noone crafts you your omnom bars :p

They are becoming kinda useless after they remove the moneydrops from dungeon bosses.

Tribio.8531:

Hmmz, am I the only one seeing the paradox here?

Anet”

We specifically said we don’t want to get caught up in the trap where every 3-6 months the game adds another tier of gear to the game; that invalidates all your hard work and the rewards you’ve earned.

VS

At 500, crafters will be able to craft ascended weapons and armor.

The game has nearly been out for a year and they have added exactly 1 new tier. I don’t see a paradox.

mesme.5028:

Diablo III sold over 10 million units in 6 months.

And for how long was D3 in development? Why won’t they just release D4?

Why does Blizzard have to resort to the subscriptionmodel + ingamestore?
The problem with WoW is no one knows how many eastern people play it.

Peetee.9406:

WoW succeeded because it continued to add features and fix bugs.

Huh? Did I miss something?

No because no one really bothers looking at them anyways

But the radiant set looks awesome, besides the helmet imo. Without any metalparts/parts that don’t glow it would lose at lof ot its charm.

Yeah her work is awesome but as I already said, her content is even out before the update releases which leads to people doing nothing but following her guide instead of thinking themselves. That’s something that worries me alot and which leads to people complaining about the content being too short because all they did was following guides.

No thanks. I don’t want to support people who teach players to not think anymore.

also: complete guides before the update comes out.
