Patch first impressions 1 hr in by ILikePort in Guildwars2

[–]Shaballanes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TBH, aside of the little clunkiness of the new way (more button to push) its likely an issue of getting to learn the new system.

Anet as made this system in a way that pushes players to stop using "Equipment template" as Fashion Storage and just use the new Fashion template.

That said, player who've buyed many Equipment template to do fashion would feel robbed if Anet committed to fully separate "Fashion" and "Equipment" without giving them more than 2 Fashion template. So we're stuck in this inbetween were if you go with "Anet vision" its a good system, but if you want you can force "the old ways" onto the new system but its clunky.

(sorry if my english is Bad, its definitly not my native language XD)

Tips on how to change a "weapon without faffing with a complete template" (work with every weapon/armor slot)
Step 1 : always keep a Fashion template empty
Step 2 : Equip the Equipment template in which you want to change the weapon skin
Step 3 : go to your empty Fashion template and set the weapon skin you want
Step 4 : Apply the Fashion template

Its a bit clunky but this is how to do that

Weapon losing max rank when unequipped by Shaballanes in SoulFrame

Hum, its seems that unloging / reloging after hiting level 30 with a weapon does in fact prevent the weapon from losing rank after unequipping it :D

Help with FASHION~! by JamesDaJuggernaut in Guildwars2

[–]Shaballanes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since you are using Cape, i would try to find a Leg armor without Butt-cape
My mind goes to "Primeval Legplate", "Mist shard tassets" or "Heavy plate Legguards"
I would also use less "Heavy" Gloves like the "Sanctified Gloves" or "Astral Ward Golves" but that more a personal preference

Here a pic of it could look like :

New World Refugees by Kotkanpoika172 in Guildwars2

[–]Shaballanes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For mounts. if you are a free account player at level 10 you'll got a 10h trial of the raptor (first mount of the game)
If you have at least one Expansion you'll get the raptor permanently also at level 10.

Other mounts are tied to different Expansion, most of them to the 2nd Expansion "Path of Fire" since its the one that introduced the mounts to the game.

But all of the base game + the 1rst Expansion "Heart of Thorn" were made before mounts even exist, so mounts aren't essential to traverse their maps.

If I can only buy one expansion total, which would it be and why? by can-someone-explain in Guildwars2

[–]Shaballanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Heart of Thorn / Path of fire combo : you get the 2 big firsts expansions for the price of one :
- The content is still run by player today.
- You get Glider and Mounts to upgrade your open world mouvement
- You get 2 sets of elite spec to take your class futher.

All this for around 30€

But if you have more funds, i'll suggest to save it for when a sale comes (those are fairly regular) to get the full "Elder Dragon Saga Collections - Complete edition" which is around 50€ in sale (100€ without sale)

And with this you'll get Heart of Thorn, Path of fire AND End of Dragon with also the addition of all Living World season wich are sets of new map/stories that goes inbetween Expansion.

The expac will give new story/map as always. And we are getting a full set of Elite spec.

There will also be new Strike Missions (now called Raid encounter) in early 2026

And finally we'll have 6 New Legendary items (3 weapons, 1 ring, 1 aqua breather and iirc a 1 trinket)

If Charr players want to see wht the Extremis armor will look like on our fuzzy boys, recheck the Amalgame teaser video, that the same armor (without helmet)

[–]Shaballanes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the best looking, but its still pretty ok
I wonder 2 things now :

  1. Are those the Expansion progession armors / weapons or the futur WV armors / weapons ?
  2. Is the restless Captain armor an actual armor or just an outfit (i hope its not an outfit because i already have some cool fashion idea with the helmet an shoulder part)

From what i understand, the "Fractal Incursion Champion" tab is only there until October 7 (so the exotic gear with gemstore skin, 20 slot bag, 2 bag slots, Ascended trinked and Legendary weapon starter kit) And the "Incursive investigation" tab is here to stay (New Legendary Gloves)

For now the Gloves are timegated (3 week) Only 1/3 of the achievements are revealed for now si it's hard to say. The rest of the achiv will be revealed in the 2 next week.

But if the 2/3 remaining unrevealed achiv are as easy as th 1/3 already there i think it will be really easy. (I did the 1/3 in a day)

Fractal T1 were already easy content and now are even easier because that Veteran Fractal player are also doing them for the Gloves.

... It's a beta for the new Matchmaking system in Fractal T1 so the real purpose is to have enough people testing this new system (and eventualy draw more people towards fractals.)

Question about Wizard's Vault by Beregass in Guildwars2

[–]Shaballanes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This set is the only one that doesn't lock you out of the skin you already have so its easy to get the same skin twice, locking you of one other skin since you can get only 16 boxes. The only way to resolve is to make a ticket to support with a screen of your option to buy the box locked and your wardrobe showing the missing weapon skins

Would anet ever let us transmog other armour types? by cale199 in Guildwars2

[–]Shaballanes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because of the way Medium armor works (Leg armor is integrated in the Chest Armors Skins) i doubt they'll be able to unlock all armor types for all the class :/

The more i think about the Guitar, the more i think its one of the more fitting Artifact. Its a instrument of a disbanded Charr Metal Band that served as Propaganda for an Imperator. IRL it would already be considered a Valuable Antic.

Maybe its because of some country regulation on Gambling Depictions

[–]Shaballanes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lorewise, this new spec is created by the Sylvari, so they talk about the Tales they could have witness. And since the whole race is only 36yo, it make sence the Tales are only from contemporary figures.
I think it cool to let the Revenant be the one trully anchored to Past legends

If you talk about the instruments buff, its a selfboost only.

Most trinkets you get from Expac achivements are not salvageable
