With the current system once you unlock the skills, they are unlocked on every weapon you try ever after. There is nothing more annoying than getting a brand new weapon and having no skills to use. They made unlocking the skills of your first weapon slower, but they did speed up the unlock process for multiple weapons considerably. > > So how would you improve the system?

OP did you boost your magic find?

Think you can get there by useing springer behind jp chest and then the 8th mount skill.

Aint that what the celestial challange is for the community feel?

Try a vpn and check if its the road your normal connection take to the server thats bugged.

I clicked through 12x250 exotic luck last year with Drooburt so I know the pain.

> @"trouble.3562" said: > you get something if you give LUCK to droobut? i saw nothing https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lunar_New_Year + Drooburt's Ghost accepts 1000 luck (in any combination) for the New Year, New Quaggan achievement, which is infinitely repeatable for a reward of eight Red Festival Lanterns (7 Silver coin 4 Copper coin per 1000 luck). Thats what we used to get for our luck before this year so I agree with OP nice change

> @"Danikat.8537" said: > Oh they do glow. I thought they were just plain gloves, then realised later I'd stupidly previewed them on a character with a few different glowy effects already applied so I may have missed it. I'll have to try them on one of my plainer characters, or just wait until I unlock them (probably at the weekend). apparently the preview is borked you need to equip them to see it.

Based on 65 votes not likely.

The wiki and the game might not have the same nr do them all again mate.

You do remember that killing more dragons might end the world right?

You still have to grind and spend your hard earned gold to make the legendaries. Not an easy feat for casuals. Not to mention you can swap gear currently between characters. This is just making it easier to swap and making a huge improvement to the template system that really is needed. It’s not like can you play two of your characters at once so really it would just be as if you were sharing your armor.

In reality, the purpose is to make you avoid up to 70 additional purchases (if max character slots) of the same gear type. We can move stuff around already, but it's too much work; instead we currently give every character their own unique gear set. That keeps the market alive, raising the interest in level 80 gear exponentially. > > > > > > > > > > My point here, copying or not, is that legendary sharing will give every single character full access to the very best gear in the game.

Do you understand what T6 mats and precs _used_ to cost, that we haven't always been able to craft precursors, how much harder gold was to obtain pre-expansions, etc?

Besides, ascended + skin = legendary. Ascended + my idea of all-rarity wardrobe = definitely legendary (ascendeds also get free rune + stat swapping, once the corresponding legendary has been bound; however you still have to acquire the item physically) > > > > > > @"Solanum.6983" said: > > > > > > I don't see how this "Trashes the legendary rarity" Legendary items still cost a huge amount of gold, time and effort to make. I don't see how making something of great cost more useful could be a bad thing. The whole appeal of legendary items is that you never have to grind/buy another when you unlock them. All this does is make it easier and more convenient then having to bank swap every time you want to play a new character. > > > > > I guess you don't get my point then. Just because you may only have made max. one legendary item of each type, doesn't mean the rest of the game's players also had. Someone here mentioned 8 armor sets, of which at least 5 have to be thrown away in the case of this update. I have made two Incinerators for the title Twice-Told Legend.

Why not follow the trail and drop precursor crafting into copper price levels? Decrease Realm Avenger from 250,000 to 250 kills? Make all new characters start at level 80 with exotic gear, all skills and full world completion? Who cares about the rest, they already had it for all the years. Everything to everyone is apparently the way to go. > > > > > > I personally view this as yet another diminishing return for investing playtime and/or money in Guild Wars 2 (fyi, I've been heavily restrictive with gem purchases since I had to throw away my Copper-Feds). The veterans are yet again punished, so the newbies can get the world served on their shiny little silver plate. > > > > I dont see how any of your examples compare to legendary armory its not like they are making the legendary them self easier to attain. > > The only one asking for that is you now sarcasticlly saying precursors should be copper levels to craft as that somehow made your point better. > > Because you're still focused on obtaining the legendary. The wardrobe isn't about obtaining the legendary. It's about **sharing**, or copying, the legendary you've already obtained. It's not a question about access to just one legendary. It's one, two, five, ten, perhaps even 71 legendaries. This entirely depends on the number of compatible characters you have. > > I mean, a 1,500-2,000 gold crafting price is a literal giveaway if 71 characters can simultaneously access it. > > > If we go the other way maybe they should make the Realm Avenger be per character since that's what you want for legendaries. > > Good luck trying to kill 250.000 times 9. > Thanks for explaining my thoughts and opinions to me, I seemingly have problems with that myself. > > To remind you from just a few scrolls up, you were the one quoting me to defend the wardrobe as-is (either that, or you lack understanding that >1 unit of effort is more than 1 unit of effort). Just because you want to save thousands of golds by not having to make additional legendaries, doesn't mean I want to raise current cost by 9x per legendary, or that account-wide achievements should be soulbound. I just explained a personal example to protect lower-end market failure, as well as satisfying multiple legendary owners. > > Aside, I never said a word about including Realm Avenger into legendary production. I just took the absurdity in your logic to its edge. All you care for is the legendary usable on all characters as easily as possible. You don't even see the slightest moralic problem with that others have sunk thousands of golds into the same thing before. If they wanted to sink thousands of golds into for more sets and the convenience instead of sharing one through bank thats their choice. I shared my account bound stuff through bank to avoid this problem copper fed and infinite gathering tools. ( or I might be very frugal with my gold ) But other bought more of the same and then got salty about shared slots. Edit As other have said in the thread, I have no problem with people being able to break down their extra and get account bound stuff to craft other stuff with if anet decide to add that.

Not just each slot but each skill? So on a profession without many weapons/skills to choose from it could be quick, but unlocking everything on an elementalist took ages because you had to do each weapon 4 times over (once for each element). It wasn't directly tied to levels, but it's not like you started the game with all weapon skills unlocked. > > > > > > > > I think this system is simpler because you don't have to go out of your way to make sure you unlock skills. As soon as you level up enough to unlock a slot you have access to that skill on all weapons, and you get XP from everything so you'll unlock them all just by playing. But you still have to find or buy that weapon before you can use it's skills, and new players will still need to experiment with each weapon to find out which one they like best, so overall I think it's one of the more trivial changes and I'd be hesitant to say one way is better than the other. > > > > > > No I don't remember this part, may be one of my pause periods, anyway if you compare what we have now with something worse, it may feel good, but just compare what we have now, to the initial release, this is what I'am comparing in this post, imo was much better. > > > Whats your opinion? > > > > That was the initial release. That's how unlocking weapon skills worked from day 1 until the September 2014 feature pack (which is when the new player experience update came out). > > > > As I said I don't think it was worse necessarily, there's pros and cons to both systems, but I don't think it was fundamentally better or worth reverting back to, it just trades off one set of limitations for another. At least this way all professions have the same limitations on getting their full set of weapon skills. > > So my memories are broken? lol. Anyway u had at least 2 weapon skills at lv 1 (or WS2 was very fast to unlock) right? > > If you are right (and what you said has unlocked in me some fragments of memories ), I would have rather preferred a rework of the same system. Bounding skills unlock to experience is better than bounding it to levels -in a game like gw2, skills given by the weapon are learned using that specific weapon (sounds in line with the concept). > > They could have reworked the amount of experience needed to unlock skills, lowering it by a specific amount, and lowering this to a quarter for a class like elementarist, where u have to unlock 20 skills intead of 5. (also incentivize player to fight more "random mobs - those not needed by quests" to unlock skills) > > Anyway, weapons skills bound to level feels bad to me, if they want to keep this, they should unlock at least skill 2 at level 1, so new players can actually do something more fun than afk spammin 1 for the first 10 - 15 minutes of gameplay. > > Do you think a rework of the old system would work better than the current one? it was very fast took a kill or 2 to unlock second skill

It'd be more useful if I actually had people to teleport to, so in THAT scenario it isn't a waste, but I shouldn't have made the purchase based on a possible future scenario.
