They've been doing this for years. As ugrakarma said. They are expensive. So it returns to my original post, they are expensive and annoy you to make every step. Is it bad to ask for them to be available on TP? I answer, no. It is totally fine and don't see anything wrong, the player made the long way of getting the steps and crafting a crimson rifle as example, I buy it and give him gold in exchange. Anet simply must stop making everything bound, this isn't gonna push me making all the collections for sake of doing them. And no, no players should be punished of not getting a skin because they don't want to do a specific content or crafting tons of stupid pre versions that looks like nothing. Again, it just instore disgust in minds, not any desire or want. Yes it is a punishement, bad decision, and ruin a subpart of fashion wars. Care about saying when they required doing similar things? Never as much as lastly in their chapters. Auric hot weapons? Can have them easily. Forged weapons in pof? Easy. Awakened weapons? Not hard. Dungeon weapons? Easy. Fractals? Not that difficult. Apart abyssals. Bl chests one? Can be bought. Legendary gens 2? Fine to me, they are differents, and it worths the price.

Totally agree. Stormcallers, even the charged ones are okay for me, also I can buy any of them on Tp. What I am angry about is the dragonslayers ones cause I can't buy the crimson and azures directly off the tp. Boreals, I forgot about them. Corrected my original post, meant boreal indeed.

Incredible. > > Actually, there is probably a reason they did it this way, perhaps based on it impacts materials consumption, or other factors most people can't even begin to imagine themselves. To call it a 'mistake' is just a view with a very narrow focus and a lack of understanding. I don't really the get the original complaint though ... this isn't content people have to do if they don't want to. Almost nothing in this game is, except for leveling. People need to stop assuming that if they complain they don't like certain kinds of content, it means they will get other kinds of content they do like. We get access to ALL MANNER of different content for exactly that reasons. Anet has that 'content consumption' data ... we don't. Nah it is a mistake. Opinions you know. Sorry but forcing you to craft the first sets and making the following steps account bounds isn't clever. I wouldn't be here to complain if I could buy any crimson out of the tp for 40g. Your "don't want then don't go for it" doesn't stand, I want the crimson weapons, but without the useless boring long way of crafting the dragon slayers "base" version first. It's simple. Gonna pass on your "if not liking the content and expecting a content you like" stop deforming words, I like the content cause I want the crimson, azure and charged stormcallers.. Check the wiki if you don't believe me, crimson and azure are bound.

You would only be able to make that comparison if the dragon slayer weapons themselves were actually needed to craft the crimson/azure weapons which they're not. Check in game before launching facts, you can't purchase the crimson and azure recipe without crafting the corresponding dragon slayer weapon. Sure they aren't used in the craft, but not having them still prevent you to get the next version. How stupid is this? Imagine a player joining the game at chapter 2 and not understanding at all why he can't get the azure and crimson weapons? Those aren't new rewards, but more locked ones. I am not free to do how I want to get those, I am forced to make the previous sets.

Is it right? The last trailer shows another weapon sets that seems made of crimson and azure weapons... so I guess we need again those annoying slayer weapons for chapter 3?

Can't say I'm excited. That ice frozen floor deco is a nice thing. However I am very scared regarding the last shot with primordius, feels there would be a bullshit with spirits and boom primordius defeated. I'm hating more and more the turn of the story since the first chapter. The four episodes made an interesting build up of lore and environment but many have been abandonned quite rapidly disapointly: the whispers have been shown as a big threat, with those strange npcs around core maps preaching jormag... nothing happened. Drakkar was just a spam 1 on its feet fight. The second bjora was interesting regarding the creepy visions. The boneskinner was advertised as a big thing, ended again just as a spam 1 fest, not a lot of big mechanics. The strikes version is interesting, but too powerful. After kodan, fraenir, steel warband and shiverpass it feels like the strikes difficulty sky rocketed stupidly. The shot with the ice construct assaulting tengu wall of caledon looks dope not gonna lie, but if the Dragon Repetitive Mission are like the episode 2 ones, just going after powerful svanir individual, welp. Still better than 2012 destroyers. Those weapons skins feels like it would require players to have the azure and crimson sets, and that make me angry and I'm beating tve table with my fists. Is it hard to make them directly obtainable instead of depending on previous? You checked how costly and stupid is the crafting from dragon slayer weapons to those new ones?! You want to instore disgust and do everything to discourage getting them? Crazy. Tengu and skritts under spotlights, that's a good thing. But because I know for sure that I will not see inquest in blootide coast mission, that I will not see kraits or hyleks in caledon mission and no flame legion in the fireheart one, I put a 8/20 by advance. 1 point for skritt and tengu. 1 point for the guild all deco. 6 other point are because it is not new content, just instances in core maps. 6. It is what worths the DRM. I reserve a worse note for chapter 4, in case you will ruin primordius and prevent me to explore depths of Tyria. Such a scenario would be a nail in the coffin, if so I leave, and not a single euro given anymore, not gonna purchase eod. Doi.g an expact doesn't justify butchering a major plot and lores possibilities. Greatest joke: play as braham. Can I kill him too definitely?

It's a very cool event, I regret not hearing tve other songs mentionned by the blood legions soldiers in the keep.

I'm not saying make it the only way mind you. And only allow players to spend Mastery Points this way if they've unlocked everything they need to in the related Mastery track. Or hey, go one step further and make Mastery Points repeatable. > Sure, there would be some balance issues to sort out with people then just repeating the easy ones, so maybe only allow people to repeat Mastery Points until they're back to their original excess level. I would extend this to why not pve reward tracks to unlock pvp rewards? I love a lot the radiant armors, but those are forbidden to me, and I will never get them because I hate and simply can't pvp, surely lvl -9000 strategist haha plus not fan of getting harassed or receiving insults. Little parenthesis about the warclaw, dunno the role of that mount now, they nerfed its speed so much than you are faster by feet using tp skills or swiftness. Very sad, feel like a non needed addition.

Blish just feel like another thing anet rushed and wanted to get rid of rapidly. One of the worst decision, why the build up with taimi, gorrik and him about sharing and leading research projects together, having datas stored on its hard drives... just to end up as a kamikaze. More and more character I see and more I see strange story turns and no love given to any of the characters. And I know that personally I'm not intetested to see ryland further developped. Many characters deserved lot of plots and involvment and got nuked before having a role or an impact: joko, blish, kuda, gaheron, kudu, malyck, kralkatorrik, mai trin....

It's your ley line form, energy form. I think, kinda like chakra, it shows the flux within the body. No organs here, I suppose the orb/core is indeed the soul. Would have put it at brain place, but it is true that the heart is the spark allowing you to live.

In addition of being expensive, I hate the "you need this other set to make that set" I was very angry that after finally finishing the last mastery, to discover that I need to craft the original dragon slayer weapons to get those crimson and azure ones. No way I put a single gold in them. You already did the mistake with boreal, and you do it again with dragon slayers. You never learn? Incredible.

Possibility to make and craft legendary armor outside of raids (no don't put it in fractals either). Just expensive crafting of armorsmith/leatherwork/tailor 500 as example.

Aftr reading around, I would enjoy a huge underground steampunk/cyberpunk city. Like, there are tons of streets with a gothic architecture style mixed with tons of gears and pipes but the shop signs and directions indicators are vaporwave like neons. It would feels like grothmar, you have events around that are everyday tasks like bartender, fixing a street fight between gangs, dealing with deliveries, auction events, concert.... the entire map is the city apart the extreme which are more wild or the border. Would like it to rely on a whole new mean of transport: metro. You can use it to pass between subzone instead of using the waypoint. It stops at stations mounts forbidden in it of course. It works at a moving asset like boats of labyrinthine cliffs/sandswept or airship of dragonfall.

> yes please. i also want another black dye, something that's darker than shadow abyss but also removes gloss (more like matte black but darker than SA) > > don't know how they'll call it though.... Absolute Abyss Dye? Infinity Black Dye? Void Dye? okay i ran out of creative ways to name it lol Exactly. matte, darker than Shadow abyss. Even dyes that are really black, there is a black dye in game but it is more dark gray in fact. About the names... -Void Dye -Space Dye -Dark Aster Dye -Infinite Darkness Dye -Vantablack Dye (one of darkest black in real world) -Creeping Shadows Dye -Blackest Black Dye -Null Dye Would like a black dye to that make edges looks orange/red, for name, Eclipse Dye. Would like to see more dye that are a certain color but make the edges of differents pieces have another color.

PLEASE MORE BLACK DYES. DYES THAT DYE EVERYTHING BLACK NOT CARING OF THE TEXTURE OR MATERIAL!!! AND IN RARE, MASTERWORK AND FINE, NOT ONLY EXCLUSIVES!!! Really, I insist, the only current one is shadow abyss and it cost ~135g, wow! just WOW !

Wow. Okay I buy it, @"Donari.5237" you convinced me, the first link with that glossy black or whale/ electric blue or white looks awesome. I speak of that one https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405207401315434496/813851049562734592/IsskaldrLunarDyes.JPG

Oki thanks a lot for the repplies, special thanks for the ones with pictures.

It is mpossible to allow dyes preview for the mounts skins preview on the gemstore? It is more than infuriating, how can i know if i want a mount skin if I can't even try dyes on it?

 More cybernetics, monocles and sci-fi glasses please! Gonna explain me, how a game with a race that know how to do force fields, datapads and holograms aren't able to create battle glasses and visors. Even some for all days life like surgery goggles or simply having cyber - punk / vapor wave style clothes. Please, I would really enjoy to have many of those in game, the gemstore is over crowded with fluffly quaggans, aurene, animal hats; why not more style of glasses? You could even design skins modifying eyes appearances, you already did it: Lunatic noble mask (medium).

I'm okay to pay 600 gems an armor piece if all the current outfits are turned into pieces. What a shame that outfits exist, better have stayed with armors.

Lastly some days ago, I watched nintendo direct, and splatoon 3 trailer (note I could have said star wars, lord of the ring..) hyped me more than gw2 ever did. I am not satisfied nor conforted by the phone silence of this company. No news? No name of specs? Not their icons at least? Some things to theorize and debate about? I totally agree that speaking about maps wouldn't bring a single thing, cause we already know it's cantha. But, is it hard to release some more expansion areas screenshots of places or npc? I want some infos like OP. See the icebrood saga trailer, it shows you where you are aiming. What EoD one shows apart useless speechs and zoom on chinese architectures? A trailer, worse than any LS trailer. The last chapters are overwhelming and disapointing nothing good out of them apart creating another elitist content and lfg discrimination. The only "good" thing is that the factions events ask you to do events in core / other expacs maps. This isn't dead but still, a current lethargic state. Sure you can do things in core other xpac maps but the last story releases have nothing to be excited about. And that's the issue.

What "shock" me is that lunar new year don't really feel like a fully fletched festival. Let me explain: Halloween = 3 Activities happening in a different map: Mad king roller beetle raceway, the clocktower and ascent of mad king. 1 Farm, mad king lab, with a minigame, lunatic inquisition. The cool mad king says event. Wintersday = 3 Activities happening in a different map: Winter wonderland JP, bell choir/snowball mayhem and tixx toypocalypse. (Minigame) 1 Farm, that is basically the winter wonderland JP. Plus, you have lair of snowman miniraid. Festival of four winds+Jubilee = 3 Activities happening in a different map: Sanctum race, Aspect arena and Queen gauntlet boss rushes. Ton of events, treasure hunt, effigy, skimmer race... Plus gauntlets events... Dragon bash = 2 Activities happening, the hologram stampede around tyria, the hologram arena. A cool moa race event happens. May need one more activity. Can we say as much to other festival? NO. Lunar new year has 1 real activity: dragonball arena. Let's say celestial challenge is the minigame. The festival still lacks an activity. Could be a thing hapenning in the skies, like a ball based game with goals. Or something with instruments or using sounds maybe. Overall, the numbers of events is very disapointing: just races happening from time to time. In case of Halloween you can hunt doors and kill champions, for wintersday you have the orphans and dolyak event... putting just two adventures that are basically find those firecrackers feels pretty cheap. The activities and events aren't as rewarding as in wintersday/ halloween. To end, with the festival the most unfinished, who started as a joke, Super Adventure Box. 8 years now and W3 and W4 are still missing and that is unnacceptable. That festival also miss secondary activities! A tron like super racetracks? Fighting simulations with holograms like Taimi game story step. Oh I know with a vapor wave rytlock wearing orange glasses! rytlock critter rampage but in gw2? A giant arena that can be farmed for bubbles with events and things to do like a mad king lab bis, like, the courtyard of Lord Victorius? Nothing happens in rata sum, dunno, could be just an enginner bringing stuffs to moto, but during its escort some glitches happens. SAB and Lunar new year are still the worst festival to me regarding the feeling of implementation. A festival that still miss two of its worlds, which are the core and essence of it, and one about chinese new year but has nothing chinese apart the decorations.. furthermore, horse isn't a horse, the monkey and snake are from sab... it doesn't feel professional. I still haven't digested the fact that the beautiful canthan district turned into a big hole. The celestial challenge feels better compared to last year. But the festival is still dead. Seems like a mini raid like lair of snowmen or an activity is missing. It feels like a beta version of dragon bash to me. Lunar new year could disappear and be replaced by dragon bash a second time wouldn't see difference. Plus so ugly weapons skins!!! Worst selection. The celestial challenge is fun and rewarding now, the only positive point. I do dailies and call it a day.

Wanted to choose cool idea, but then. No. This game is already too much cluttered between all the substitutes around: dungeons turn into dungeon 1 path and tier = fractals. Raids turn into mini short raid with 1 boss = strikes. Mount became prenium mount skin and then mount license appeared.... The item exist: self hair kit and makeover kit. And they have one thing to do, upgrade them with new looks. Armors was here and now looks is sacrified for outfits. Do you want to sacrifice your overal appearance now to just be an awakened? Sigh, better do a combat tonic. Oopsie it already exist! It is called infinite awakened archer tonic! And you can have several differents one use thanks to dungeons. Why putting another gating behind gems whereas it can be added to makeover kit. Useless. NOT GONNA PAY 1600 GEMS For your thing

 I would really like to have the ability to buy those on gemstore ArenaNet if Scribing profession isn't gonna be extended to level 500. **[insert race name] Culture Decoration Pack** -The pack would unlock 15 decorations associated to a specific race, 5 related to house, 5 interactive ones and 5 flavor environemental ones. -They come with their recipe sheet, that allow the player who bought the pack to craft them afterward. -The different recipes include a item with the name of the corresponding city. I think about rune of rata sum, of black citadel and so on, so like summit flags. -Each pack is one per account, you have to be part of a guild. The decos and recipes received are consummables. -I've put a price of 800 gems a pack, because it is 15 decos, and 2000 as example would be too much because price of delux upgrade in sale... Price of an outfit seems ok. _Note this are in my mind "starter packs", there could be multiple series, like "Charr culture decoration pack 2, 3...." there are so many cool assets..._ **Detail of the packs:** _House decos_ -> Racial house asset. Racial chair asset. Racial table asset. Racial desk. Racial Bed. _Interactive ones._ -> Stone gate. Force Field gate. Experiment beaker. Lightning Cannon. Asuran Rectangular Console. (Asura) -> Fluorescent Plant light post. Bulb mortat turret. Vine Bridge, Cage or Door. (Sylvari) -> Charr gatling turret. Metal valve door. Huge metal gate. Meat Rack. Ale Cart. (Charr) -> Frozen Ballista. Wooden swing gate. Barrel catapult. Norn Poultry Roasting Spit. Huge pillar brazier. (Norn) -> Simple wooden door. Ebonhawke wall lantern. Apple tree. Queensdale automatic watering with farms. Pirate cannon. (Human) _Environmental Ones_ -> Asuran floor tiles. Asuran purple crystal light post. Pillar console. Asura Lab table. Asura staircase. (Asura) -> Mushroom platform. Huge ferns patch. Flower patch. Coconut Tree. Huge coastal maguuma tree. (Sylvari) -> Charr military tent. Metal cross floor tile. Metal floor tile Ramp. Charr village metal wall. Diesa Plateau orange Bush. (Charr) -> Wooden lounge floor. Huge wooden norn gate. Norn wooden railing. Rudimentary tent. Snowy pine tree . (Norn) -> Ascalonian wall ruins. Ascalonian stone stairs. Street paving. Queensdale Swamp Tree. Greatheart Weald tree. (Human) This is just a first example, but you can turn it into a series of several decos packs on the gemstore: "Living season 3 deco pack" "Living season 4 deco pack" "HOT deco pack" "POF deco pack" "Icebrood saga deco pack" "NPCS deco pack" "Animal deco pack".... It is easily monetizable, and if it is the fact that gh doesn't generate money, this is the solution for you. This would show to decorators players that you haven't forgotten them. I know I would instantly buy asura, charr and sylvari.

Very interesting ideas, floating islands and underwater maps. Using Zephyrites and their flying ships seems cool too, they aren't used a lot apart in labyrinthine cliffs and dry top. I enjoy volcanic environments a lot and yes, ember bay has a certain charm. I kinda regret that sandswept northern border stop before the volcano, could have been interesting. I am kinda hypnotized by the fire and ash falls in fireheart rise.
