Just a flesh wound.3589

Here's what they've said recently on the subject. [August, 2017. Reddit GW2 meet and greet](

>I (the interviewer) asked whether they have even considered adding a new race for PoF. Mike said that no and then added that new races in GW2 are "not impossible but very unlikely" to appear in the future. Implementing them would require a lot of resources that can be spent better on creating new content relevant for all players.

The price difference is there for two reasons. One is a gold sink. The other is to discourage people from making gold by flipping gems for a profit.

They've looked at it and said this about resetting/replaying the Personal story.

_Q: Why can’t I reset my character’s Personal Story progress?

A: **The Personal Story was not designed to be replayable. Attempting to adjust a character’s story progress introduces a wide variety of bugs across various content and game systems**. We investigated different solutions for partial and full story resets. In all cases, the changes led to unpredictable results in many different content types, including permanent blocking of story progress._

If you're asking for fewer tomes then you are asking for a reduction in the ones coming from PvP/WvW because PvE only gets you a very few. Since PvP/WvW players use tomes to level chars (seeing as PvP and WvW doesn't give XP) then asking for a reduction hurts your fellow PvP/WvW players. What you should instead be asking for is not a reduction in the number of tomes but more uses for them. For example, more things to get with Spirit Shards or waypoint unlocks (with the understanding that that char will not get map completion rewards or a Gift of Exploration if it unlocks wps with tomes).

You can tell they've made changes in the map. The Brand now extends further south than it did.

I think it is mostly preloaded. With HoT for example, you could see the outpost markers through the map fog some time beforehand.

I looked on gw2efficiency and didn't see that. Where is the salvaging tool for that app?

Nick might have a [descendant in Fireheart Rise](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Villager_(Havoc_Steppes))

_Child: Over here. Don't let the grawl see you.

Player: What's going on?

Child: My friend Nick said if I brought him some grawl necklaces, he'd trade me for a gift. He said these kinds of scavenger hunts are an old family tradition for him.

Player: How many have you got so far?

Child: None. I'm not even sure they have grawl necklaces here. But I'm not giving up until I get at least five, no matter how long it takes._

If ANet wanted to bring this quest type back that NPC could be established as a descendant of Nick (or a cousin) and could be used.

(Just checking another emote source. I have to post to to see if it works).

Edit: nope. Didn't work. :dissapointed:

I just saw on another post someone using an emote not in the emote section at the top of each forum post. Checking it out, it's from another list that can be pulled up. Since it was new to me I figured it is new to some others and I thought I'd make a post about it for all as clueless as me. :dizzy:

So, typing : pulls up a list (and hopefully they'll work when I hit post). :#

Which is an argument for those that have extras being able to sell them to other players.

@WARIORSCHARGEING.2637

>anet banning say very different . I suggest your read their name ban post on this and you will find out you can be banned for these things .

Your phrasing is inaccurate. _You_ don't get banned. The name gets banned. When a player makes a name that breaks ToS and gets sanctioned s/he'll log on to find a name change is required to play. Once a new name is chosen the player can log on and play.

I have a project in mind for when I get my raptor. Take a brand new, level 2 char and see how many maps I can unfog and how many wps I can unlock, including in the highest level zones, before something kills me.

When the players switched from guild wars to guild wars 2 they left everything behind . All their characters, their titles, the collected armors, weapons, minipets. Inventories full of platinum and items. All left behind because ANet decided they wanted to make a new guild wars and the players were willing to trust ANet and go to the new game. As a reward for years of faithful playing in guild wars, of support for the company over all those years and as a consolation prize for leaving their old accounts behind and switching to a new game they gave the vets of guild wars some mini pets, armor & weapon skins and some titles. They also promised at that time that these items would not be made available from guild wars 2. To ask ANet to make any of these items available to non gw1 players is to ask them to break a promise they made.

I think putting thread links into stickied combo threads is great idea. That would allow a much greater number of stickied threads and cut down on the room stickies take. Of course it will need to be a locked thread so that only forum mods can add new stickies to a group thread.

Well it says it's a common drop (for what that's worth) but if it's account bound and an expensive gamble times the ANet interpretation of the word common, it might not be anywhere near cheap to get.

Maybe there's some sort of problem we don't know about. I've read on the WoW forums how their transformation tonics only last a few minutes [(one was a 30 minute transform with a 2 hour cooldown)](http://www.wowhead.com/item=86568/mr-smites-brass-compass) and this game's Watchknight tonic used to be 5 minutes with a 25 minute cooldown. This sort of thing, short durations and cooldowns, makes me wonder if there's an underlying problem with transforms. I know ANet is aware of this as a question about the Watchknight tonic transform had a direct response on Reddit (where else) :/ before its recent change but even then it was only given 15 minutes with no cooldown.

It doesn't log everyone out. I haven't been logged out since the new forum started up. I use an iPad with Safari if that makes a difference so maybe it depends on what you use to read the forum. Maybe state what you use in case it's a bug related to certain devices or browsers.

I was going to vote housing but I figured it would be hideously expensive to craft even minor stuff so I didn't vote as none of the choices appealed.
