Wait the 1000 unique skins? Holy balls!
I'm pretty surprised myself that I have 991 now.
EDIT: make that 995. 3 crimson mask skins and braham mace.

look at all them twisty moas. I suppose buying up some cool limited-supply ones isn't a half-bad idea there lomp.
huh, I admit I did not see the whining angle on this change coming.... maybe I'm losing my touch. I figured anyone either actively using or storing long-term a specific mini wanted to keep it and thus would've been okay with account binding it in the wardrobe. *shrug*
Collections- what are some things that shouldn't be inventory items but currently are? Pristine Fractal Relics are the obvious one that springs to mind for me.
Can't imagine what other than a TP UI overhaul the "Trading 2.0" could possibly be. I hope they have a tag/filter system... wonder if it would be too much to hope for that they can fix the item naming scheme that broke with the wardrobe update...

Oh I was 30 minutes late to the party. I bought my hoard for about 4-5g each, when they were 3g each a couple days ago.
Mini Jack-a-lope was already 240g by the time I logged in. It was 70g a couple days ago.
Mini Karka? It's all gone.

That's a good change, it sounds like it was necessary for them as some people got stranded on low population servers (I don't think there was guesting either, right?). I wonder when it will be implemented. In the meantime they made server transfers free which should help them out too (I feel for everyone who shelled out money to jump ship before this though).

I'm still confused, what will happen to the extra copies of my minis?

I think you can keep them and/or sell them on the TP

You get to sell them still. You basically will have the choice of 'absorbing' the mini into your account-wide collection, sort of like how the wardrobe system works now.
Not a surprise, the Wildstar OT has been talking about how empty the servers are for a while now. Hopefully it will help, but I think there's bigger underlying problems that won't be fixed by this. GW2's megaservers help fill in low level zones where the population is spread out, whereas Wildstar's problem is that there's no population at all. I'll have to dig it up, but there was a post on Reddit with a bunch of screenshots of the cities being dead and the "Who's online" thing only showing 15 people or something like that.
I don't play it so I can't comment, maybe they're all off in their housing instance or whatever, but megaservers won't fix that problem either, so... /shrug
Nope, no guesting in Wildstar.
Le sigh. I really do like the new update, really nice that minitures and such will be there to easily take out. But- if going based on this update and the names of the next 2 updates, it seems these will have a very little effect on veteran players. Just more little QoL stuff.
??? What part? None of that was intended to be a joke.

What feature are you waiting for?Le sigh. I really do like the new update, really nice that minitures and such will be there to easily take out.

Not with their Pay-2-Win cash shop and the ridiculously scam-like Labor Point system (literally everything costs LP, including identifying quest rewards and crafting, somebody on Reddit figured out that there's mathematically no way you can earn enough to keep up with the constant demand without becoming a patron).
Not saying I'm looking for a specific feature, just something that would make getting on GW2 more... fun, like new stuff to do and shit. Not really new content, just things to make what we have already more fun. I like the Living Story, but it's waiting 2 weeks for an hours worth of content.
Just... something to enhance the later-stages of gameplay in GW2.

Didn't you hear. I killed mini-games do don't ever expect that come.
What would enhance that stage of the game for you? Got an example?
SAB = September. Announcement. Believe.

I'd buy that for a gem.
Just more reason to do other content, new skins to gain through gameplay and not through RNG. Would be cool if zones got their own unique skins, or hell worse case make outfits. Would be cool if Dungeons also got their own unique outfits that were drops in the dungeon itself, maybe modified versions of the outfits you can buy with tokens. Sure that would be RNG, but at least their still tokens.
Stuff like that, maybe little veteran-elite level content, sort of mini dungeons for friends to take on, instanced missions though. Content that scales for 2 to 5 people. Though this part is less of a feature. XD
blehhhh that sounds like a nope. we'll see. I assume "patron status" means paying some fee to be like a VIP that has features free players don't? TOR had something like that after going F2P, didn't it?
more games should try path of exile's model. I guess true MMOs have multiplicative costs compared to a game like that though.
Well, really, more games should just fucking try GW2/TSW's model. It's getting tiresome watching cash grabs that both box me out of playing (I have sort of low tolerance for p2w aspects, and won't pay subscriptions) and ultimately lead to floundering profits in the end anyway. it seems like the idea for a lot of releases that make it over from korea is just "squeeze the whales" where the degree of pay2win isn't even a factor from a development standpoint. "oh, it might not be sustainable 2 years from now, but you know a few guys will gladly shell out $149 for a preorder pack with only in-game/digital extras included!" I mean I bet there are even ways to characterize what you get for that money as a "good deal" if you compare it to buying everything separately, but sheesh.
worried about everquest next, but at least SoE's weird-ass station cash ecosystem is something that already exists and can be built around.
Yup. I would play more games if they used ANet's business model.
I like most of these changes today. Taking more minis out of circulation should be a good thing in the long run. I doubt we'll reach GW1 levels of uber rares, but still. It will be interesting to see if older minis popup again here and there.

I've come to understand from commentary that lots of people have been hoarding minis with a kind of "maybe sorta wanna keep maybe sell one day" mindset, and this will (almost) force them to decide whether they want to actually keep them or not. Will definitely be interesting to watch the market and for my part, having them as an account unlock in the wardrobe will make me go about collecting all of them much more seriously.

Megaservers for a 3 month game? damn..
Eeh, to be honest, that's the kind of improvement any MMO could use, regardless of its age.
Cool changes to the wardrobe today, about time for mini's to shine again.
In other news, I'm not touching GW1 again. The game has aged so badly and I find it nearly unplayable on my own now >_<. I only managed to get 11/30 HoM points, only 4 points away from my goal, but I just couldn't finish EotN or Nightfall, for some reason I find the missions take a lot of time now, something I don't have, or maybe it's just that boring on my own.
To reward myself on 3 more HoM points I bought the Endless Cat Tonic for 100 laurels! Best decision I ever made.

Imo all account bound items excluding armor and weapons should get that treatment.
New classes, new weapons, new races, level cap increase.
Massive overhaul of the WvW maps and a new formula for determining PPT.
Guild vs Guild mode with rankings and leaderboards.
Honestly I've never felt GW2 was more on the brink than it currently is. Almost none of my friends log in to the game anymore, tons and tons of guilds are disbanding, WvW is dead etc. I'd love to see some actual population numbers because I feel it's dropped off significantly this summer.
I often find myself wondering, what would the situation be right now if there was a big expansion right around the corner? Would I give up all the living story content this season for an expansion in the Fall? ....I think I would.
These are just my musings though. No need to discuss a topic that's been discussed to death already.

I still enjoy playing the game everyday and I don't honestly think it's dying in any part but I agree with you, I want to hear about the bolded parts. I would at least like to know if these are something they want to release as part of LS or a feature pack.
on the brink of what? think it'll go f2p?

Does anyone have the necessary amount of minis for the Set One Achievements? I have the necessary amount for Set Two. I'll do a temporary exchange between the two.
I'd imagine they've had a fairly nice up-tick in new players, but yes, the vets seem to be pretty absent in my experience(aside from the LA afkers).
