Seems like there are a lot of players who love to talk down on other players, make excuses, and blame others for their lack of success.
It also seems like a lot of these players are having trouble finding friends to make a group of 5.
Somehow I don’t think this is a coincidence. =P
Moral of the story: Be a decent human being to the other human beings you surround yourself with, even when they don’t fulfill all your expectations.
Is this the correct thread?
It’s the thread I intended to post on since my reply has to do with the points the OP made. =P
It smells like something is burning. Did something or someone got burned?
It seems to me that your issue with stone heart is more that it is not OP and less about it being a terrible trait
Rather than try to look for a meaning that isn’t there you could just look at what i said. The issue i have with it is that Earth attunement is no threat. Why is it only one class has to make HUGE sacrifices to gain something else.
Look at all the other classes, what do they give up when going zerker? Nothing. Ele going Zerker means death in seconds if their burst fails to kill the target. Look at Bunker what does other give up going bunker? Nothing meanwhile Ele going bunker does like no damage what so ever. Why is it that only ele have to make sacrifices…
All it would take is to make Earth a VIABLE attunement to spend more than 3-4 seconds in and then maybe it would have a better chance. For a “Condition” (and defense) attunement – it seems to be rather lacking on the condition front.
Staff – Bleeding, Weakness, Immobilize. All of which are rather easy to dodge
D/D – Bleeding, Cripple, Immobilize. Either terrible stacks, Buggy or impossible to hit.
Scepter – Bleeding, Blind. The Bleeding is decent the blind is okay.
Focus – Cripple. Nothing more.Here is the problem. For a condition attunement either the skills are too easy to dodge/miss as with pretty much all Staff skills as well as Chruning Earth or they have poor stacks such as Dagger Auto attack, Dagger 2, dagger 3 or they bug out.
We need other conditions added. I would like to see some Torment. A total resign of the Earth auto attack. Churning Earth needs to have a lower Cast time. More than 3 seconds is insanely stupid for such a game as this. They also need to have a reason why you would rather stay in it and try and dodge at the right time rather then just easily walk out, like increase the Cripple duration by 50% and add like 3-4stacks of Torment at every proc. These are the sort of changes i would like to see that would actually make Earth a threat. Have it so it deals very low direct damage but is a serious threat if you are into conditions.
Based on the bold part, it seems to me you wanted a more OP leaning trait and less of balanced trait.
It also seems to me based on your post you don’t understand the purpose of stone heart and you definitely do not understand the purpose of the earth attunement. The earth attunement has and will always be a defensive based attunement that is the purpose of it you can see it in how most of the traits operate.
The reason why very few of the skills are a threat is because they were never meant to be, they were design to protect not damage hence why we have 2 other damage based attunements.
Back to stone heart, stone heart is a good trait for the overrall game because it is strong and at the same time doesn’t make the player OP. THe whole purpose of the trait is not to completely be invunerable while killing other players, the whole purpose of it is to protect yourself when you think something big is about to happen and to switch back to the one of the other 2 damage based attunements you have.
It seems to me you are not happy that this one particular trait is not the messiah.
There are a million topics about this. It’s been explained why it’s a good thing. Search for them.
Don’t forget to ignore the bad points too.
Such an awesome mechanic!
Except for the multi rez per downed, most of the bad points amounts to “QQ I hate change no other mmorpg has this feature”.
The problem with that is, We either have terrible defense (outside earth) or good defense (in Earth) but the problem comes in with the fact that pretty much every class has burst options on shorter cool downs than what the Attunement swap is.
Then once you are getting burst you have to go back to Earth and be very little to no threat what so ever. I really do think that they could do with an increase to conditions in Earth – for a Condition trait line and Attunement it has a rather terrible access to conditions.
From a PvP standpoint balance wise, stone heart is good because you have to give up something to reduce damage. It seems to me that your issue with stone heart is more that it is not OP and less about it being a terrible trait. It doesn’t solve the issues with our high attunement, it is simply one trait but it doesn’t take away from it’s effectiveness.
Like someone said above, the time you use stone heart is when you want to mitigate damage, it wasn’t designed for you to be in it indefinitely. If you have to in it indefinitely in sPvP you are probably better off disengaging.
I can confirm, No it doesnt. The moment you go into it Stone Heart is removed and 10 seconds later so is the Attunement buff. Another reason why it isn’t that great a trait.
stoneheart is a great balance trait, it is just that tornado is a terrible elite.
No, it sucks.
instead of pretending that I care about your opinion, how about we agree to disagree?

You should read dev tracker before making a topic. Evan already said that it was a mistake that slip through and not intentional.
And were increadibly time-consuming to get, and if you got them or not was based on luck
3 sets out of 8 were obtainable within few tpvp wins.
True, but the other 5 (well at least 2 of them were) were significantly more difficult to get.
Also, if you read the threads in the PvP sub-forum, or followed the Dev Tracker, several times it was stated, ‘Spend your Glory now!’
And the majority of the playerbase read the forums, it is known.
see what you did there, but ignorance has never been a justifiable reason. If people that want to use the resources provided then it is only really your own fault.
In an ideal worth those with the highest skill level make the most money. however in the real world those who are charismatic probably make the most money.
That is why scientist make less money than some kitten politician. Engineers are the ones that come up with the things that help Boeing for example make bank but the CEO is the one that makes the bank. The point being NO.
If you are a PvP only player being the riches is not really something you should care about.
I will say i love the new d/f celestial build.
Actually “everything is subject to change” exist because players like you tend to complain how they broke their promises. So they put disclaimers so that they can invalidate any arguments such as yours.
I don’t think you understand what you read. Your first reply would seem to betray the same thing, as I talk about a new player and you talk about “they” being able to store up gold… for which they need to have had the game beforehand, therefore not being new. The disclaimer prevents me from taking legal action, no doubt, but you are fighting against an imaginary argument, because mine was that a smart consumer would be wary of a company who so easily misleads its consumers on their paid product’s direction. The cited text doesn’t change that at all. You should actually try reading what people type instead of typing arrogant and grandiose nonsense.
I enjoy being snarky especially when I m destroying person’s argument. Even more so when the resort to a fallacy.
-toot
I am going to be honest here. I don’t read forum post longer than 5 sentences. So don’t bother you probably said some stuff and good for you.
I made my point and you probably made yours, so how about we just move on from that. Honestly, I wont convince you with my valid points and you wont convince me with whatever you try and come up with.

Yea, IMO the huuuugee nerf to farming was made so that it would be harder to earn gold making the gem to gold conversion way seem like the only way to actually afford nice skins without farming for idk months? which is sad :L
Actually, the huge nerf to farming was done to minimize the rate of inflation given how guild wars 2 has very little gold sinks. Generally, most of the significant gold sinks only affected the farmers when they sold items on the cash shop.
The other good thing about the champ farm especially Queendale is that it rremoved the hostility.
I don’t think we are balanced when we only have 1 effective build for each game mode.
Changes over the last year have not created any build diversity.
Really? Let me just disprove you, DPS guardian and there is bunker in spvp. The guardian dps is extremely high in all areas in the game and so is it’s support.
The guardian is the most balance class in the game. The problem is that being the most balance class in a game is terrible when you have classes like the old hambone warrior, necro and engineers around for example.
Elementalist and mesmers wish they could be like the guardian in spvp (since PvE is so worthless that gimmicky builds can work in it).
I’m a thief only player and right now I’d advise against starting a thief. The worsening of conditions and removal of a useful lyssa rune has us down quite a bit.
So you are saying that thief requires more skill than before to be effective?
@ stormcrow
I’m not saying it will fail if you don’t buy gems. I’m saying that if there was no suplimental source of income (i.e. The gem store) it wouldn’t be able to to maintain it’s upkeep indefinetly. Does that mean you HAVE to buy gems? No. Does it mean that Anet is a greedy company for highlighting a suplimental source of income for the game? No. It means that Anet, like any other business, is in industry for one thing only. To make money. With this line of thought, that Anet is greedy because they are trying to make money, would mean by extension, that ANY business is greedy. Everyone from your local Mom and Pop convience store to multi million dollar corporations are greedy because they want to make money. But thats a whole other disccussion.If you don’t like the gem store and the way it’s evolving. Don’t use it. There are plenty of others who will. And unless we can know for 100% certain the amount of money generated from gem store purchases and game purchases (input) vs. the costs and wages to keep the game running (output), there is no way to know for sure whether or not this is a “money grubbing” tactic.
Heres also something to think on. Maybe it’s not Anet that is greedy, but that those who think it’s greed motivated are just cheap?
Maybe read what I typed as well.
That GW1, you know, the game that didnt have an all encompassing focus on the gem store, did much better than GW2 does with banner buy now ads.
I would take expansion style take my sixty bucks ANYDAY over this gemstore pap.
When gemstore items out focus the content that is delivered then there is a problem.
Except that guild wars 1 had a significantly smaller budget and I hope you do realize that by the time guild wars 1 was made the budgets have balloon. For example guild wars 1 only cost 20-30 million dollars to make in 2005. While in 2011 rift cost about 60-70 million.
Not only that but Anet at the time of guild wars 1 had less than a 100 people vs 300+ employees + the amount of money that Ncsoft invested in the game.
The point being guild wars 1 was a significantly smaller game in terms of scope and employees and budget. Guild wars 1 was nothing more than a glorified Diablo 1 clone with minor MMO aspects.
The point being you are making an illogical comparison. With that said, eve
the amount of wins to get one PIECE of dungeon armor is almost as many as it took to get entire SET under the glory system.
but glory system it was just skins – these are legitimate exotic gears that have stats and can be used in PvE/WvW as well.
True if you only consider orr armor, but the other armors took longer because you had to be in a high rank to get them them.
With that said, I think exotics are kinda not something to be excited about.
Actually if you could get more than 1 armor piece per track it would be somewhat unfair for the PvEers, since they have to run it multiple times to get it one pice. Each armor piece is about 180-350 tokens, you get 60 tokens per route once a day.
Actually, the pvp track benefits PvPers more so than PvEers since they have to put in ore way to get their armor piece.
But seriously folks, yuo did not think you could get the full set just from 40 games did ya? Hugh even said or implied you get 1 armor piece during the RU 8.
I love how in your attempt to undermine me you actually helped me more, why don’t you read the last paragraph of the article you link. Don’t worry, since I am feeling generous I am going to do all the work for you, read the bold part.
Don’t worry internet friend. I also hate it when I am wrong. You were saying?
That doesn’t change anything. “Everything is subject to change” is a catch all justification for anything. In fact, by your reasoning, they could decide to remove all the gear from the game, remove leveling, or change the game to an FPS and I’d be able to justify it the same way.
Also, I love the snark. You mad, bro?

Guild wars 2 the only game to defile logic. I was told in every game that only noobs tab target PweP, but in guild wars it seems clicking your target is nooblike behavior.
Ty Obanet.
how long is arah story mode?
Most of the skins i had unlocked via spvp are now gone
Where were these skins when they disappeared? Did you have a slew of skins sitting in your character’s inventory while you played your matches (pre-patch) or were they in the PvP locker?
Everything I had in the locker transferred to the new system IMMEDIATELY when I logged into the Mists. I’m sure you must have noticed all the skin unlock popups on the right of your screen.
If you say you had just for example, Dredge complete set in your INVENTORY, but none of the pieces unlocked in your wardrobe, then we definitely got a bug on our hands.
The more descriptive we can be with our reports. The better chance Anet has to reproduce it and determine a fix.
So only the items i actually had stored in the locker updated in my wardrobe? For example my necro was in full arah set when the patch hit, my thief once used that set but i didnt save it in wardrobe and after the patch i dont have access to that armor set even though i had that unlocked ages ago? Shoudnt all the armors i unlocked via ranking in spvp be available to me and not just the items i actually stored? Kinda silly.
The armor you unlock are those that were on your character Or in the PvP or bank storage. So if you unlocked it but deleted it, you are out of luck. Also you did not technically unlock any armor before the 15th. You only got a skin held in storage. So if you delete the item you are out of luck, this applies to everything in Cash shop armor.
This is based entirely on how I understood the way you described your situation, so i could be wrong.
Anyone want to give an example on how you would flip this dyes? Also can you put 4 dyes and get a new one? (please answer this PM if you can).
thanks.
After a few more games I actually don’t know how mad I’d be without Stone Heart. It’s a genuine pity and a rather distasteful that it’s locked in PvP for new players, since it can really help carry you knowing you have a “block” button just by switching to Earth. Liking it more on hybrid/damage builds than bunker.
What do you mean locked in PvP. They can use gold to buy it or if they were smarter they would have played the other half the game they bought.
A “smart” consumer would hold a company/developer to their word.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/
Specifically,
The addition of new skills and traits on a regular basis will of course mean expanded variety of abilities, builds, and tactics in PvP as well. As these additional skills and traits are added, they’ll be automatically unlocked and available for competitive PvP just like all existing skills/traits work today.
I also wouldn’t appreciate being locked out of a trait as a new player if it does end up being standard for the class. It has nothing to do with “smarter” – it has to do with wanting the mode’s competitive principles be upheld.
I love how in your attempt to undermine me you actually helped me more, why don’t you read the last paragraph of the article you link. Don’t worry, since I am feeling generous I am going to do all the work for you, read the bold part.
om the upcoming release of our brand spanking new Looking for Group (LFG) tool, to investigating ways to limit culling in PvE, to the two-week content schedule our Living World teams have in store, the second half of 2013 has countless more exciting new things in store for our players than I can possibly cover here. As always, the content above is subject to change as we test and iterate on these systems.
Don’t worry internet friend. I also hate it when I am wrong. You were saying?

Because this changes were anounced since day one am I right? Oh guess not….
Considering they gave most players a 4 month head start to get gold, I think while your argument is valid it is not an excuse.
The only ones that could be affect are brand new PvP only players but that started just right before the changes were announced.
Why are so many ppl trumpeting the value of celestial amulets? Is this just a spvp thing?
Yes.
It certainly isn’t about PvE.
So he was stupid for not wanting (basically be forced) to play something he didnt want (pve, boring indeed), which was seperated for so long making all the people that actually invested time in it getting shafted… 4 months advance to get gold how so?
He is not being forced to do PvE. If he only wants to PvP he can only PvP and still unlock it, so I don’t get where you getting this being forced to PvE. The most important thing is that the new traits doesn’t suddenly invalidate the build he was using the previous day.
(edited by silvermember.8941)
Nah man, it’s casual oriented.
I love how you are trying to present it like it is supposedly a negative. I mean esports generally only affects the super hardcore top rank players.
I think the ele is at a better place, but I still hate how you have to rely on stacks of might and relying on somewhat OP rune.

It might be useful, but given the current state of PvE (I don’t do high end PvE like fractures), imo there is literally zero reasons to be concern about getting crit. You should be more concern about getting hit in the first place.
Some of the bigger skills would probably one-shot you so worrying about being crit is moot.
I don’t think anet will push Esports until they have a ladder AND until the chinese market is settled down. I think Anet is wisely realizing that the western side is a lost cause and might be hoping that the game picks up in China and become big or something.
Now that’s gangsta

Noting that the first reward track open is Arah (?!) and it only seems to take 40 wins to obtain a full set of Arah dungeon gear, I have to wonder, is there any attempt at equalizing the amount of time spent in Dungeons to equal the amount of time it now takes in PvP to earn a full dungeon set? 40 wins in PvP does not take nearly as much time as the 30+ Arah runs it takes to earn the same rewards. Handing out the armor that dungeon runners have spent months organizing and running for in just a fraction of the time to a section of the game that was never meant to have cross-over is insulting.
So at what point will the dungeons be updated to where I can earn PvP rewards for a fraction of the time investment that it would actually take in PvP? I’d like to wear that fancy new Balthazaar skin and have the Dragon finisher, and don’t care to actually put forth any time or effort into the game mode it was intended to be earned in. Since they’re handing out the most prestigious PvE skins to PvP players, what is the PvE side getting out of it other than having to spend more time doing vastly more time-consuming game modes for the same rewards?
So sorry about your obby shards not being ‘enough’. You’re currently enjoying the fastest track to some of the most difficult to obtain dungeon skins in the game, while the dungeon runners are getting kitten in return for it. We’ve spent months earning the same gear you can earn in… oh how long did that track take you… 13 hours? Cool story.
If you want to get more angry about it, it took less time to get Arah before the glory was removed. Like less than 10 matches assuming you win and are lucky.

ranks not showing up was a bug. after all they show rank in wvw, you show your rank (unless you have some other finisher equipped) when you finish someone.
hopefully they get it fixed in the next patch.
Terrible comparison considering that they only show your rank to you enemy not to your allies. The biggest issues with rank is that sometimes the losing teams blames the low ranks.
And now you can earn Skill Points via the rank chests and get gold via PvP. You still can, but you have to grind.
hows that gonna help the " e sports scene" we have goin on?
This game has never been eSports, and it never will be, not sure where you got that idea.
It will never be “esport” in the west for sure, but whose to say it wont be in the east, it seems like Anet is hedging their bets on the chinese market and the west is just along for the ride.
Well balthazar faction is a currency, gold is a currency. It’s pretty much the same.
But I agree, gold is used for so many things they should have given us a separate currency for those unlocks.
balthazar faction had zero monetary value until they added the zkey grind, it’s not the same at all.
The Balthazar conversion rate was pretty much the same as 1:1 ratio, so unlocking a skill costed 1 platinum which is still relatively expensive.
No it didn’t. Guild wars 1 balth faction cost was perfect, it was more complex. you did not have to grind PvE to get that your skills and it purrrrrrrfect.
Balthazar faction could have been easily traded for gold, so it’s pretty much the same thing now. You earn gold directly in PvP matches now.
Granted the rate is pretty terrible and should be increased, but I doubt that will happen.
I was attempting to make a funny.

I’m only rank 10, on a level 50 Ele, who is my highest level, but at this point I don’t understand why everyone is so insistent that Ele is instalose.
I’ve only played hotjoins, so maybe in real queue people are better, but at this point, I’ve only run into a few things that I can’t take out with an 80% success rate. Bunker Engis, Bunker Guards, and a single Ranger using a long bow that was a really embarassing fight.
The engis CC me until they get help, the guards can knock me off point long enough to cap and then neither of us ever drops below 80% health unless we get careless, and there’s never an opportunity for a kill. The ranger just sat off point and shot at me and I got confused as to a response, poor play by me.
Theives are a joke, Mesmers aren’t bad, Warriors are hard but I can for sure survive until I get help, even if I can’t win. Honestly, does it just get harder or what?
The key phrases are " I am rank 10" and " I’ve ONLY Played hotjoin…." that completely invalidated whatever you were attempting to say.
Thank you for your gold.
Well I m broke mainly cuz I blew my money on crafting not from flipping.
I tried flipping then I gave up because i have no sense of business.
now i am broke.
So basically the e-mail response you got back was, every new trait and ability will be unlocked in PvP.
Either they made a mistake on an upcoming change and said something they weren’t supposed to or that agent was not clear on how the traits worked in PvP.
or maybe OP is lying. I mean he does love to use hyperbole a lot, which makes one wonder why he would buy so many character slots.
Why would they refund it? There is no reason why they should refund it other than you having a hissy fit.
Fresh Air is still our most viable PvP build, I think. But you need to play it differently now, with the crit damage nerfs.
So far, I’ve had the most success with 0/30/0/10/30 combined with Vigor stacking. With the new 30 point Arcana trait, you can really keep Vigor up. Between dodge and blind, you can 1v1 pretty well.
All that said, ele is still garbage tier. You’ll still get blown apart. And this patch failed to fix us. We might be just a tiny bit better, but it is negligible.
then you are playing the wrong build for survival. fresh air is terrible for anything other than burst.
Unid dye is now up to 23 after reaching 17s yesterday (where I bought all my stacks)
will that be enough to make up for your bad investment?
And yet no one comes up with a convincing explanation of why we can see APs in PvE and not ranks in PvP. Does AP = skil? No. So what’s the difference?
My theory is simple – people are intimidated by high ranked PvP players and don’t want to have the knowledge that there are some who have put in so much more time than them. Don’t ask me why they’re intimidated. I have no idea.
The first mistake is trying to compare AP to Rank here is why.
Given the nature of PvE, you can easily kick someone out before the start of the dungeon, end of story. PvP on the other hand forces you to stay in that group with someone you don’t want to play with. Also it is extremely rare for PvEers to kick or insult you simply due to AP, the ones who do it are generally in their little groups.
This combine with the fact that PvPers are generally more likely to insult other players plus the fact that a lot of players tend to be afraid of PvP makes it bad for any company that cares about their players to support creating artificial walls or ammunition to grief other players.
Also AP doesn’t give an inflated since of pride and AP doesn’t say anything about your dungeon experience. You can have a low AP but have done a lot of the group activities, while rank says I have wasted my life grinding for that worthless dragon ;p

64 character slots.
I doubt that many people have 65 character slots but thank you for being the guy that supports the game for players like me that spend 10 a monthly only.
What is every active ele asking for? #More traits that don’t lock you into a specific attunement.
What is Arenanet giving us? #More traits that you need to stay in one attunement to be useful/active.
There it is.
Actually, that is not what every ele wanted.
Most wanted the other triats lines to have good traits like arcane and water aka more diversity. This patch brought us slightly closer to that dream. For the first time in a while, people are considering other traits lines other than water, air and arcane. That is an improvement.
Also this new trait is actually bringing the elementlist back to its pre-release theory which is that fire = damage, water = support (New GM sucks though), air (single target) damage and earth (defense stone heart does the job pretty well).
Also contrary to what YOU believe, this new GM actually punishes you for staying in earth too long since your damage goes significantly lower. IT was design to let you only go into earth when you think kitten is about to hit the fan.
We have four mandadory traits in four different lines. Isn’t that good? Now we only need a mandadory trait in fire!
Somewhat, except this trait is specifically to not get instakilled by burst builds. I fear that ArenaNet will abuse this as an excuse to not balance eles further.
ArenaNetyou have a fix, see, your own fault for not taking it. eles are balanced perfectly now lets destroy some more town clothers!
let me get this straight, they do nothing you whine, they do something you whine.
the ele is slightly better than it has been in the last 8 months. if they do nothing after this it certainly wont be any different than the last 1.5 years.
anyways, I am sorry your outfits got messed up but dont take your missed placed anger on everyone else.
Well with the removal of Town Clothing, they probably will never introduce Swimsuits or the School Outfit.
Seeing as if they do release them now, they will be armor skins since we no longer have Town Clothing. And they don’t want people running around in Swimsuits or School Outfits cause it might “break immersion” (you know, the immersion that Anet already broke?)…
So expect them never.
this is an example of someone who doesn’t know anything. if this person did, he would havr realize that all the crap he just said is the exact opposite of what anet said a few weeks ago.
so ignore this guy.
It’s obvious you have no idea what the Wardrobe system even is.
Anet stated that there will be no more Town Clothing. It is all being converted to Armor Skins, Outfits, and Tonics. Outfits are costumes you wear over your armor, and tonics are well…. tonics like they are now in game.
If they introduce Swimsuits, they will either become armor skins, outfits, or tonics. There is no more town clothing when the new patch hits today.
And seeing as Anet wouldn’t want people running into battle in swimwear or a school outfit, the chance of them releasing them now will never happen. If we still had the Town Clothing system, then sure, I could see it. But now that it is removed, don’t count on it.
Think before you speak next time.
You really should follow your own advice. The changes were design to let costumes be more useful. there is laterally no reason why the school armor will not appear on the cash shop. The new system allows them to do that.
To expand more on what I mean by better support, It helps if you think of town clothes as a 4th weight class of armor. Clothing was meant to offer visual options that break the class roles, however we were never completely happy with the way it was isolated from the rest of the game and still felt largely the same. Many pieces could have easily been mistaken for light or medium armor. In many ways it was more akin to building an alt character because town-clothes and armor were so separated. Additionally, every time we added something to town-clothes, it didn’t really help someone building their light, medium, or heavy look. And there was no way to add combat gear fairly without creating 3 versions on the back end (light, medium, and heavy). As a customization platform and sustainable expansion design it left a lot to be desired.
You can read the devs comments for more information, now thank you very much for playing. It must suck being so arrogantly wrong.
let examine options.
Tome of knowledge.
The free level 20 birthday boosters.
~10% damage loss.
Zerkers are still the meta. Possibly more important than before due to overall decreased dps.FGS/Frostbow buffed by 5%, which compounds with other damage modifiers. Likely outcome is full meta groups see an increase in overall dps despite the ferocity nerf.
2h sigils mostly remove the bloodlust change. Scholar runes unchanged.
Not worried, zerkers are still #1 by miles.
The point of this change like others smarter than me have said wasn’t to equalize zerker vs other stats.
Zerker will always be better until they finally start making content that can’t just be be easily beaten with high DPS. Personally, I suspect going forward content wise, they are going to start making it extremely hard for noobzerker to noob their way through content.
I did that a few times, i got nothing. Have a few skins ages old, where is the new stuff, where is the rest of the stuff that i unlocked months ago?
Probably a bug? I dunno. You have to wait a few hours for Anet to work out all the bugs before logging in. Or this could be a giant conspiracy to kitten over Dragon rank pros like yourself.
