Plautze.6290

While I liked the Desert King set better than the Equinox, I absolutely agree that the design department is doing great work ATM! Kudos to all of you! <3

After never really caring for my home instance (because it is all set in stone and forever unchanging), but always greatly enjoying upgrading command centers, color me hyped!

That's actually a very good idea as it would solve all the "Let us hide 'please insert armor part' on our outfits" threads.

We have capes. Butt-capes! Lots. Of! THEM!!!1eleven!

Frankly, I'd dig capes which are actually worn around the shoulders. Or even just one shoulder à la Ezio Auditore!

Overall, I liked the method of acquisition, even if I don't particularly like the skins themselves. More of this please!

Lots of already included weapons yearn for the story behind them to be told!

I used to think that GoB would be a nightmare to grind out. How wrong I was. At first I tried to get it by only doing easy dailies like vet creature, take a ruin or spend badges. But halfway there, my impatience kicked in, I popped one of those XP boosters (the one increasing reward progress) and got into it. When there was no blob, I gathered small groups of players and flipped camps, ruins, even some towers. But reward progress wise, nothing can beat the blob, thus I too did some of that. And I had indeed so much fun, that I missed the point where I had enough progress + reward potions to get my GoB and kept on playing for hours. That's how great it was.

Of course, your results may vary, but what I'm trying to say is that you never know if something's a nightmare unless you tried it. Perhaps, you are even in for a surprise.

Nowadays, the biggest horror when thinking about crafting a legy is the tons of T5 mats I need to acquire. Don't want to buy it all, but it takes ages to gather that much!

Still, nothing that's gonna stop me from merrily producing further legies!

On the GoE: Seriously, guys? With core Tyria being what it is, you're asking for an even easier way to get a good portion of your legy? It's practically for free!

Quaggan master race!

Yeah, I started 3 years ago, after GW2 got F2P.

I was like 'Might give it a try.' and still regret that I didn't start earlier as imo, GW2 did everything better than GW1.

But that's just my experience... surely I sucked big time at GW1.

... for me, it's around 3 years =)

Happy Birthday, GW2!

Even a special armour set! Very nice!

Nah, those sprockets are more stable than Bitcoins!

Perhaps they could just improve the NPC AI so they don't stand idly while you get bashed up or are in downed state?

Y'know, make NPCs actually useful.

Or a glyph that gives you gemstore items when mining? Or BLC keys!

I'd sure buy that!

What? One can dream, right?

That shall teach them! =)

Gimme that quaggan warrior, doing that eviscerate with those chubby, stumpy legs and arms, fooooooing all the time!

Apart from more glyphs, I'd appreciate more ways to acquire said glyphs.

Imho, any profession can work with any race.

Sometimes, it is more fun going against the tide than being one of a dozen black, bone-themed Necros on screen.

Sigil 'value'? Like most of them being utter trash?

The community is part of what keeps me coming back. Be it simple things like being ressed or people randomly asking in map chat how everybody is doing or more dedicated deeds like mesmers JP-porting others for hours, mentors spending their free time teaching other players to do meta or world events and doing that day after day after day.

Sure, there are players that just leave you lying on the floor or rush past you while you're fighting mobs at your last shred of health bar, but from my experience, that's more the exception than the rule. You can always ask for advice or even assistance and with minimal patience, you will receive your help.

One of the best things I encountered, was when I was waiting for Warden Jabari to launch, propagating my endeavor in map chat to gather some man-power. After a short wait, somebody approached me and asked me in-character ('Ahai, outlander. Do you happen to travel south, to the Bone Wall?'), whether they might accompany me. Just in that very moment, the Awakened came and took the Foreman's wife, Emara, leading to the actual Warden Jabari event. While we waited for the Foreman to get ready, other players joined, all speaking in-character, asking what was going on and if they could help slay the fiend. Together, we marched towards the Joko Gate and finished the oppressor. After we had fought, we returned to the village and continued to chat for an hour. Where we came from, where we were headed etc. As one of the PCs was clearly Elonian, they told us about some lore of Elona, while asking about Kryta (also referring to GW1 plot).

While I'm mostly playing this game on my own and I'm not really into RP, that encounter was just awesome!

So, in my book, that equates to a really great community.

> That wouldn't be any good to me because I'd still have to hunt through all the drops in my inventory to identify the items I want to mark for salvage. My goal here is to add salvage items to the things I can clear out very quickly when I first open my inventory, so it's easier to sort through the remaining stuff which I don't always do the same thing with.

Okay, I see.

> How would this work? Take a specific heavy chest piece for example, like a chain coat. The same item can have a wide variety of names, levels, stats, and runes. "Mighty chain coat," "Malign chain coat," etc. Wouldn't you have to mark each "version" as salvageable? Or are you only proposing certain items can be marked salvageable?

I propose that we have to mark the items as salvageable in our inventory, then right-click our copper-fed to select 'Salvage all marked'. But somehow, that wouldn't fit the inventory's mouse-only mentality. Then again, in the same time it takes me to mark items for salvage, I could as well salvage them right away. Okay, salvage my idea =)

As an alternative, let us mark items as 'Marked for Salvage' and right-click on the Salvage Item for 'Salvage all marked'.

I'd even spend 80 tomes to get "only" 78 levels ;)

As long as she doesn't start listening to emo music and gets herself a tramp stamp, I'm cool with Pubertal Aurene.

They grow up so fast *sniff*

Dragon Guano Chef Recipes confirmed.

There goes our request for legendary foods, finally!

What could be more legendary than Dragon Guano Muffins?!

> I doubt that. If these are parmanent additions, nobody in their right mind would buy any old outfits, gliders, etc. since it’s significantly cheaper to buy the vouchers. This would effectively mean Anet can only sell new items not obtainable with vouchers (like the Timekeeper stuff).

I had the same train of thought.

But on the other hand, cutting those discounted voucher-available outfits from the gem store would free space on the virtual shelves.

Anyway, any solution to always wanting an outfit that is not on the gem store at that very moment is welcome =)

Noble count outfit, here I come, hehehe!
