I just hope they have removed the random gear bags from PvP.

"...and watch your skin burn"?

Seems like a terrible idea.

It's a South Park reference.


Anyways, after having read that interview, the new PvP map does sound interesting. It kinda reminds me of playing an RTS in some ways, in the sense that there's a meta strategy of proper scouting, attacking, and defending.

Ah. For someone who doesn't watch Television, it would make sense why I didn't catch that.

Doesn't look like it, but I don't really see a problem with the change they made. Salvage item you don't want, create new item you do want.

It's about the only thing I'm good at, however useless it may be - I'm good at remembering things from Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, Futurama... probably also shows like Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory.

Can always deposit the pieces you don't want in your pvp bank and before you know it you'll have a set of gear for every profession.

This is so very very true. Been there, hate that. Keeping myself busy was always an interesting job. I did find some interesting things to do that were free and entertaining because of it though.

[Malthurius]

The random loot bags from PvP still sound like an artificial bloat to make PvP progression seem longer that it actually is, that's just me though.

Did I just start a Sylvari shitstorm because I said I wanted GW2 babies?

I didn't even say it with Sylvari in mind ;o
Now you got me thinkin...

You still need 4 items to make 1 in the mystic forge. Why remove the option to be able to buy the piece you want instead of having to go through the mystic forge?

To bad Im only interested in one profession.

The random loot bags are like going into a clothing store where the only thing you can buy is a pre made bags of all types of clothes from baby clothes to women clothes to XXL male clothes. It really makes no sense.

It didn't say you only get 1 item from salvaging. It says using it on an item breaks it down into core components. We'll have to see...

sylvari babies are seeds

or the very early stages of a sylvari.. sylvaran... idk wthell it's called but the early stages of a sylvari in a pod i guess

Then whats the point of having it? Why have the extra step of going through the mystic forge. It make no sense whatsoever.

Fun, chance, anticipation
There's other ways to get the armor you want after all. That's just how the forge is supposed to work.

Ugh, tell me about it. I've been without a job for half a year now and I've had nothing to do. At least I'll start studying again in September (hopefully, but I don't see a reason why I wouldn't get in). Should give me something to do.

I really dont buy this.
As I said, you dont go into a store looking for a sweater and the only thing you get is a random clothing bag which just happens to have clothes you cant use. There is no fun in that at all.
If they count on that everyone will have to use the mystic forge to get what they want then the system is obviously flawed.

I don't know everything there is to know about pvp.....but can't you get gear another way? As in you get glory besides the random loot and you use that to buy gear...or something similar?
You can craft gear too...I mean, it's not like everyone will have to use the mystic forge to get what they want........there's other ways.....so the system doesn't seem flawed to me.

Lightweight. Going on two years now.

...but this isn't a competition I want to win. :<

Of course, if the interview with Toyota goes well, I'll finally break my longest unemployed streak ever.

For pvp you have the runes which are free and you can place in all PvP gear. You start out with "Glory 0" gear. The only way to get other looks on your gear is to buy bags with random gear for glory. There is no other way to get different gear for your profession except being lucky with the drops from the bags.

Tokens are awarded after completing a Dungeon, allowing players to choose their reward.

Imagine if they changed the system so that you get a random bag instead when you finished a dungeon with all gear in the game in it. Except in PvP you dont get any other loot while you PvP.
