Guild Wars 2

Thanks! I added on the Rune of Life to the low-level armor pieces, and voila, everything worked out perfectly!

Not sure how it might be handled graphically or on the programming end, but sledding and skiing would be cool also, not to mention the hilarity that could ensue from toboggan races … granted, not necessarily holiday-esque, but at least seasonal …

I agree! Would be nice for a look aside from “insert random western here” for the Adventurer class … the T3 Human is verrrrry nice, as is the exotic Duelist, but other than that, there’s not much to choose from … and a few more skins in the Gem Store would surely earn some cash for anet. Some of the skins from GW1 could be updated for GW2, like the Ranger’s Elite Druid, the Rit’s Monument, or the Derv’s Vabbian just to name a few …

I agree with several that have posted in here — additional skills to choose from would be a nice add-on for an expansion. I think there were a few too many skills in GW1, but perhaps a few too few right now in GW2, so perhaps a happy in-between?

Just say no to mounts. You pretty much just have dolyaks anyway, there are no horses. There are plenty of speed increases in the game to help you go places faster as well as the waypoint system, so the need for such a system goes out the window. I’d rather them focus on a unique profession, rather than waste time figuring out how to shoe-horn mounts into a game that actively designed against them in the first place.

As for specific new weapons, skins are fine, but about the only weapons missing from the old repertoire are the scythe and javelin/throwing spear. Both could be fun to use again, though I think the javelin would be best suited for a variety of professions. I never thought much of anyone outside a Dervish/Necro using a scythe to look “right”.

Tbh, they could simply diversify the skills/elites/weapons of the current professions for each expansion, so that you could “specialize” yourself to mimic a new class. After all, a Guardian who uses a javelin and focus would play differently than a mace/shield. It’s easier to balance this way, I think, and still allows room for new flavors from the expansions.

Hey I think I could get into learning how to ride a Devourer…LOL!!!

That part was cool in EOTN — crusinig around on one of the Devourers ….

I agree — there are plenty of skins for light amor that would work for medium, medium for light, etc. And I’m not worried about what’s running at me and determining beforehand what class they are — if they’re coming at me with that mean, hungry look on their faces, they’re going down regardless.

In addition, there should be massive snowball fights held throughout all the major cities.

I’ve transmuted several high-level armor skins onto low level armor, but I am having a problem doing that with the exotic Duelist armor (which is the PvP medium armor named Leather (1)). On the talk page link on the wiki page for transmutation, this comment had been added:

•I was going to give a particular example of what doesn’t work and left me scratching my head as to why. I had a 46-rare boot with an aug I no longer wanted but the boot was still the best I’d seen up to that point. I had a 6-stat set rune (GW2 has set runes rather than set gear) that I wanted to put in it. Trying to apply the rune atop the old one did not work so I figured maybe transmutation would do it. Eventually it worked (about the 6th repeat try) but up to that point, when I’d get my selections finished (same ones that eventually worked) it would say:
“stat item cannot use that upgrade”
and I’d just have to back out. Never figured out if, or what, I did differently to get it to work but it did eventually take my choices and I completed the transmutation.
So the short story is: there may be some bugs, if you’re pretty sure it should work, keep trying. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Whroc of Ehrmy Bay (talk). **

Has anyone run into this problem, or know if there’s a way around it? It seems like Whroc of Ehrmy Bay got around it through perseverance, but even he/she was confused as to what was done differently the 6th time around. Based off the instructions provided on the wiki page for transmutation, it should be possible, but I’m running into the same issue — I dump the exotic Duelist armor into left-hand window, low-level armor into right, click on the image of the Duelist armor and it shifts to center, click on the stats for the low-level armor and it shifts to center, and then all that’s left is the upgrade section of the Duelist armor. There is no upgrade for the low-level armor — I wonder, is that the problem? Because I keep getting the same error, “stat item cannot use that upgrade”.

Any suggestions?

You can use high-end skins and transmute onto low level armor — I’ve done so several times. But I am having a problem doing that with the exotic Duelist armor (which is the PvP medium armor named Leather (1)). On the talk page link on the wiki page for transmutation, this comment had been added:

Also, since you mentioned you’re attached to the warrior char, you could still play as a Charr or an Asuran — you could just be a Charr or Asuran warrior. Then you get to keep the playstyle you like while having the chance to experience the other races’ story lines.

Is there a way to salvage a rune off of an armor piece without destroying the armor piece itself?

I couldn’t decide, so I have one of each char, and they each have their pros and cons and the choice of which one to play depends a lot on what type of mood I’m in — full on battle rage, go with the warrior or guardian (lv 14 each), group events, ranger or ele (lv 15 each), mesmer and thief for fun (clones are cool, no doubt about that, and stealing is always fun, lv 13 each), but I’ve gotten furthest with my necro and eng (lvs 35 and 30). I’m very much in no rush to 80 and not concerned about end-game content, and I think most of the fun is going to be seeing how each of the char’s strengths develop with skills, traits, weapons, etc. …

There’s been some debate, a few claim its a drop in high-end areas, but can anyone say for certain there is an equivalent?

Once guild influence is spent to purchase an upgrade, is there a way to sell that upgrade back or change it to a different one? Or is it basically once you’ve bought it, your stuck with it?
