I think they said when they released the first dye-able back item(I think it was the cape?) that they didn't have any plans to go back and make the older backpacks dye-able. Personally I think it's something they consider since it would make a lot of the older glider/backpack combos more desirable, which would translate to more gem sales, but it may be more involved to do than they feel it's worth. I know I'd buy the Legion Jetpack Glider/backpack and maybe a few others if I could dye them though, so I hope they consider going back and improving them one day.

Despite your assertion that "for most players who play any new spec is useless", I see elite specs constantly. Weavers, Deadeyes, Dragonhunters, everything. The last two expacs gave us lots of new ways to play that I see people running all the time, there's zero reason to believe that new elite specs wouldn't be used and lauded as well.

I would assume rainforest. When people think of the PNW they generally imagine something like Olympic National Park, that and they specifically said "dense forests".

"Bangar’s war machine has driven out of the Far Shiverpeaks and farther west, to the dense forests of the Woodland Cascades—an area inspired by the beautiful Pacific Northwest that ArenaNet calls home"

As someone born and raised in Washington, I'm ****ing ecstatic. Anyone else hype for the next LS locale? I'm already dying to explore it.

I'd really like to see them explore new design space with the one-handed weapons by making some specs that use one-handed weapons that were typically relegated to one hand to the opposite hand. Stuff like main-hand shield for Guardian or Warrior, or off-hand scepter for Ele. Would love to see main-hand focus for Mesmer, dual-wielding The Binding of Ipos or the Chak Focus would be cool as hell.

I'm really digging that runic armor and cape.

Would just like to thank the devs for reading this thread and making the Venom Warblade available the week before last. Picked it up for my blacklight poster inspired S/S Mirage to complete his wardrobe and it looks bad@$$, much appreciated <3 <3 <3

I would very much like to see a Mordremoth or Sylvari themed mount pack. Preferably plant/Sylvari. Sylvari mounts that glow at night with a dye channel for the glow effect would be a day 1 buy from me.

Would like to request the **Venom Warblade**, or even better, the **Black Lion Weapon Vouchers** pretty please.

Yah I did the same thing and didn't have any luck either. I don't recall having seen it before so I thought it might be a new skin you get for the "Bound by Blood" mastery, but it looks like that only gives you a new emote.

Damn shame, really like it.

Ugh, no fair. Reminds me of the Axejaw Skyscale skin, looks cool as hell. Why you do this to me ArenaNet? :(

Thanks for clearing that up for me though.


Hoping someone can help me identify the helm this NPC is wearing. He's at the top of the stairs just East of the Rank 'n' File Pub PoI in Grothmar Valley. Already looked through all the heavy armor helms in the wardrobe and couldn't find it.

Like I said, the drop-rates are absurdly low. That's why they sell for over 10k gold.

Or I can switch between two colours by applying one then selecting the other and moving the mouse on and off of the slot.

> It is hard to explain, considering I do not remember what I did, but in contrary to what you are doing: "I can switch between two colours by applying one then selecting the other and moving the mouse on and off of the slot", SLOT become LOCKED. And I was moving my mouse over list of dyes w/o going back to SLOT. So all dyes I was hovering over would "preview apply" to this specific slot.

I see what you're saying. If you do figure out how to do it again please do come back and tell us because I've been wishing the dye system worked like that for ages.

What can they get to show off their dedication? If those don't exist, then of course people are going to go back to older content that does offer that.

I get the feeling that ANet had intended for the Griffon to be the big carrot dangling at the end of the stick that would keep people playing PoF. If that's the case then they underestimated just how quickly people would tear through the story and the following collection.

Pretty sure the HoT deluxe pack exclusive glider has never been offered outside of the upgrade packages and original pre-order bundles, so I don't think it will be any different for this outfit. Would be a slap in the face to those that already purchased the packages for the exclusive items.

Some wild speculation after watching: The red lady seeking allies is the protagonist of the coming story. She requires assistance to thwart Dhuum from seizing control of the Underworld and the necromancers she contacted were killed by Dhuum's minions, the skeletons, to help prevent her from doing so. Dhuum, knowing that to enter the Underworld requires the use of the Grenth shrines, is now stationing skeletons nearby to keep any aid from Tyria from reaching the red lady. That's my take on it.

Fun stuff, looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Fixed that for ya. No thanks necessary, just pay it forward.

I'm sorry, I'm just so sick of people using that word when it's completely unnecessary. Whenever I see it I read the rest of their post with a valley girl inflection. Like, y'know?

Have you actually spoken to any of these players you're in enraged on behalf of? How many? Did any feel even half as strongly about this topic as you seem to?

The only person I've seen on a tirade in this thread is you.

And I know in mine that you're blowing this way out of proportion. Maybe you believe that nothing will be done because deep down you know it too and are unnecessarily outraged on behalf of people that don't even actually care.

I'm fine with removing the CC from mount attacks and reducing the damage, but completely disabling mounts in the starter zones? No, you lost me there. Re-exploring the old zones from the back of my griffon is half the reason I got the griffon in the first place .

I think this might be what you're looking for.

There was another, much larger thread on the old forums, but I'm not sure it's still accessable.

How do you plug a bag of potatoes into a refrigerator? I can't seem to find the cord or a socket for the cord I can't find. Should I try turning it off and on again?
