Guild Wars 2

Nicolle Rodgers.4926:

Skins give a free use the first time. After that, you can continue to apply the skin to different items as many times as you want, but each time it will require a transmutation stone (level 0-79 items) or a transmutation crystal (level 80 items).

Hope that helps!

if they were kept account bound i would have peace with that, with all the soul bound crap this is kinda the whole reason why skins are NOT reusable.

it sometimes works when you go to a different tab and back to the gem store, this issue is quite annoying and should be resolved but sometimes you need to do it your self.

Sorry, it sucks hugely for them. But too bad. They should have actually taken any amount of time to actually examine the item.

I feel unique should be big bold faced and glowie so it’s the first thing you see when looking at the description, but other than that I have no sympathy.

and what part of “unique” tells you that you can only wear one?
none whatsoever, it’s not even unique to begin with, nothing in a game is unique.

Sorry, but that’s specifically what Unique means in an MMO. It means you can only have one of them. In some MMOs it means you can only have one of them even in your inventory, in this one it just means you can only wear one of them.

and not everyone plays all kind of linear games with such things, i have played plenty of MMO’s and never have a had a unique item.
from SW:ToR to PW to TERA yet no unique item, i dunno what cheap game you played but it’s a bad design in and on it self.
it’s also a horrible idea to think everyone knows, the “unique” status isn’t as common in MMO’s as you think.

removing soul bound status is all we need, keep it account bound but soul bound status is one of the worst decisions they have made.

however, it can go only 2 ways.
1.) it’s added to the gem store
2.) it’s only for max lvl.
i don’t see them adding new armors for lvl 30+

yah no, that build is quite weak compare to my build, i use marks and wells.
more specifically, i use wells combined with minions using marks to support both the minions and the players joining up.
it’s more powerful then you think, it actually allows you to wipe out zergs in a few seconds.
takes practice, but it works.

Can you provide a link to your build?

quick build, you can imagine the armor and item stats your self

sorudo wong, both in GW1 and GW2. hahah

more melee weapons?
the necro only has one and that is just because of the one auto attack, the rest is all distance.

just to show the part why it does fit:

http://th04.deviantart.net/fs34/PRE/f/2008/300/a/b/The_Black_Knight_by_ShyY71.jpg

heh, that requires a global stat system, where you can wear every single armor there is but the stats are adjusted according to your profession.
the game isn’t good for such a system, it’s to much in the traditional fantasy world.

it’s not about HoM, it’s about how much you play.
i don’t play every day so i am just above 2500, plenty of ppl have above 10K because they pretty much play every day.
however, i do have HoM achievements up to ghostly hero, shows how much the HoM really effects the points.

so we have someone who never knew about such things and ppl who are to rude and ignorant to help the person, my my are we all supportive today.

the game should warn the player, if anything, show in red letters that you’re already wearing one.
heck, have a warning in the vendor about it so you know you can only wear one, it’s not to much to ask.

in GW1 you had at least some alternative, a magazine contest or a give away from a known MMO website.
GW2 is more about exclusivity and less about obtaining what you collect, money speaks in this regard.

The Meat Wagon.7194:

I would say nothing. The gem store takes content out of the gameworld which unfortunately is Anet’s focus.

sad but true, problem is that the minority who realizes this doesn’t get heard, we are the black spot in Anet’s eyes.

SrebX.6498:

Since I don’t know this 30/20/0/0/20 build, and honestly I don’t really see how it comes together so well, may I ask what are you talking about? Build link or something?

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=;0_-34;0kHFI0;9;9;0TJ;0J;0A38;8V;07a;9-VF

That is the most generic form of the build. Terror+dhuumfire+the right sigil setup gives you the ability to stack up bleeds very easily and essentially overwhelm 90% of build’s condition cleansing. There is still quite a bit of variation as to what you take, but that build is almost universally agreed upon as being overwhelmingly strong in PvP and WvW, and is likely to see nerfs (either directly, or indirectly through condition removal buffs to other classes).

yah no, that build is quite weak compare to my build, i use marks and wells.

necro’s are close to OP, they can take down any prof even before they can do anything at all.
problem isn’t the necro, it’s the player using it.

Nice troll attempt, please don’t listen to this dude.

Necro’s are “Ok”, outside of condition builds, Power Builds still needs some tweaking. MM Bunkers can be good fun, but the pet pathing is still buggy, minion abilities sometimes dont worth and those minions, well they are just plain dumb.

until you actually know how to play a necro, don’t even think about calling me a troll while you obviously such at necro’s.
i kill whole hordes of enemies while you obviously love to make minions and die because of it, survive a perma stealth thief and we’ll talk.

suggested this…i think a month ago and most agreed with it, it should’ve bin in the game from point one but there is no harm in correcting Anet’s slip-ups.

so in short, only the super rich and the jobless can get them, ppl who barely have time to play games can never get them…….year, no.

necro’s are close to OP, they can take down any prof even before they can do anything at all.
problem isn’t the necro, it’s the player using it.

no PvP in a PvE place, so no PvP in the PvE open world, period.

sorudo.9054:

they have aion for god sake, that game dwarfs even APB by comparison.

aion is dealing with fantasy characters while APB happens in a realistic environment. GW2 deals with realistic interpretation of fantasy so you will never see aion style of customization while APB style could easily be adapted in terms of acceptance.
Except the part where you can create extremely ugly and deformed characters in aion, the rest is pretty standard for any asian mmo

facepalm
realistic or fantasy, it has nothing to do with customization.
you can easily have the same customization of aion in APB and visa versa, it doesn’t change the style.

and there is the problem, i don’t like dungeons for the simple reason that most ppl there like to take charge despite my leadership skills, they keep on screwing up but never stay civil.
so instead of complaining about it i just ignore dungeons entirely, dungeons should be optional anyway and not so time consuming.

GS should be added, the only weapon other then the GS is a scythe and not some kind of effect like on the staff, an actual scythe.

GS or no weapon at all, unless they add the scythe.

you know what the big problem is, when they add stuff like that it’s always behind a gem wall.
they are less likely to improve the game and more likely to milk you dry, it’s a nasty thing to say, i know, but lately Anet has done nothing more then disappointing work.

Justdeifyme.9387:

Cultural Tier 3 is a symbol that tells people you have a lot of gold, or you work hard towards things you want. Isn’t that a good thing?

it also tells ppl you love to farm and have time for it, casuals like me will never get cultural armor because it’s way to expensive and the stats are simply not worth it.

introducing the cabal, a sinister organization that keeps track of world events and takes away all modern discoveries.
their plan is to take over tyria and plunder everyone in a dark age, only the rich and the fortunate have the privilege to use technology.

Talyn.3295:

Geeze you all are getting lazy and spoiled. I have 10 alts at this point, one of each plus an extra guardian and warrior. I have geared them all. Its not exactly hard if you run a dungeon now and then. We dont’ need to go QQ to Anet to make this game any easier then it already is.

and we don’t all have time to do all of that, i don’t have 10 hours a day to play games and so do allot of other ppl.
also, when a player buys an armor skin it should be reusable on a different character, soulbound ruins everything and actually makes ppl waste some hard earned money.

not to mention the lack of makeup choice, faces look practically the same, no voice to choose from breaking the immersion of a freshly created character (i ones made a child engineer, everything was ok but it bothers me to no end that she still had an adults voice), not even a sign of GW1 traits.

many ppl in GW2 are GW1 vets yet not even one single GW1 character can be recreated, even in dragon age and mass effect you could recreate your character exactly.
i can understand that it’s graphic wise more advanced but when i look at the big picture, even the hair style and eye choice is downright ignored.
they have aion for god sake, that game dwarfs even APB by comparison.

i would love this, most of the time i look at dungeons but always ed up with ether a team that already did 2/3 of the dungeon or full of ppl who want to take command, the 4 captains on one ship thing.
if heroes are added specific for dungeons then i can finally play dungeons without some players taking charge who don’t even know the basics of strategy, i don’t mind playing with others but i play better when ppl keep their swearing to them self and show some true leadership skills as how i wound do it. -_-

oh no, the NSA has invaded GW2, RUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!

LHound.8964:

The only one that i agree that could be in fact Account bound is the Legendary and event gear. Every other gear, should be Character Bound.

ok, so when you buy an armor skin you just love to waste your money simply because it’s not legendary, that’s mighty ignorant of you.

i do find the price a bit to high, the chest wear should be no more then 5 gold.
i can get rare armor with better armor rate for just 1 gold, sometimes even around 80 silver.

i don’t mind the stats that much, it’s just way to expensive.

you know this senario, you buy an armor skin set but now you have to spend quite allot to get new armor in order to use the armor skins.
normally at average it takes about 8-10 gold to get it right, i find that ridicules for something we already payed for.

so i suggest making this a bit easier and cost friendly, when you use a gem store armor skin you can clone the stats of the armor.
this will keep your current armor intact and makes a second armor exactly like the current one except it has the bought skin on it, the armor will always be account bound.

i find it weird to buy something that is already expensive enough and still have to buy even more because it doesn’t work without existing armor, you should be able to use it without spending more then the armor skin it self.

ps. i am really against soulbound, it caused me to have an armor locked on a character i don’t use it for and the storage trick doesn’t work anymore.
so now i have the leggings and chest skin of the phoenix armor stuck, so much money down the drain.

gothic/punk armors.

if quick targeting is broken then simply don’t use it, i never use it and i am faster then most.

Carnius Magius.8091:

I’d rather see petless ranger builds with a better skill set and traits.

exactly, i want to see a petless option so i can play the bowmaster rather then the pet reviver.

their promises are hollow, look at the town clothing and you’ll see how hollow.

i don’t mind as long as it’s not in the PvE world.

i would for one change the health bar in an actual bar, i like to see the bar instead of an unclear ball that hides the difference between 15% and 5% health.

i have over 100K karma and i barely play GW2, i don’t think it’s hard to come by.

i just want my necro to use a GS, it also needs to be a weapon to DPS the kitten out of them.

some weapons need a different placement anyway, daggers should be on the backside of the belt and back weapons should be on the opposite position of the other back weapon depending on which one.
a bow is always left shoulder to right hip, any other weapon should be the other way around.
a horn is always worn a bit behind the arm while a focus can easily be placed at the front of the belt, a weapon on off-hand can be placed in the middle, pistols should be on your leg rather then on your hip.

there are many ways around problems like that, it takes some time making the animations but when it’s done it rewards players with a more immerse adventure without disappearing weapons.

i would love to see this too and since we’re on the subject, why not expand on this.
TBH i miss the factions login/character select screen from GW1, what would really make things better is that we can choose our background so it’s more our own style rather then the same boring white screen.

GW1 vets has asked for this feature since nightfall and most, if not all fans would love to see this come back.
if it’s not for nostalgia reasons, it’s to enhance the customizations of our game.

they’re cheap that way

sorudo.9054:

if gold is so easy to get then you can tell me how, the most i got is 6 gold…..

You salvage too much. You need to vendor more. And keep less mats.

and how do i craft without mats…..
a nice paradox for you to solve.

i simply made my own chat tab called “no-nonsence”, it only has the better part of chatting enabled, disabled general chat for starters.
ignorance is at times really bliss.

A token that can be bought with 50 skill points to give a character 10-15 levels would service.

i would like to have a “but more to gain more” bonus, something like buying gems for $20,- and get 2000 gems, buy for $25,- and get 2500 gems.

uhmm, you have absolutely no idea how to play the necro, i have played the necro from the very beginning in GW1 and in GW2 and for what i see, the necro is much weaker in GW1 then in gw2.
better yet, the GW2 version is actually overpowered, i like it this way but still, much more powerful then your average prof.
