There are better things at level 80, but having free rare items doesn't hurt to use until you get them. You can always salvage for ectos latter.

Add another level 80 to the pile.
Kwearri the Asura Mesmer
Full exotic gear with traits, skills, etc. Everything that might be required to hop over to her any time she's needed.
Only the Ranger is left out of the group I originally leveled together. I'll finish him in the next day or two.
Previous Updates:
Glycia Silverpaw the Charr Engineer

Say, what does the Log-in Ascended Chest give you? Is it the one where you craft 20-10-20-1 or the one where you craft with Ecto?
I don't understand those numbers, but it's 1-2 planks, damask, etc. Random.
Edit: plus a vision crystal and a lesser one I think
A Vision Crystal and 1-2 random T7 mats: i.e. Damask, Elonian Leather Square, Spiritwood Plank, or Deldrimor Steel Ingot.

20-10-20-1 crafting (20 tier 2, 10 tier 3, 20 tier 4, 1 ecto-produced mat).
Ah good, I thought anet would give us the ecto-produced mats since they're "technically" ascended mats lol
I think season 2's ending will lead into the expansion they are announcing later this month.
Feel free to laugh at this post when that's not the case and an expansion isn't announced.
read this and get hype:

Haven't played this game in like a month (since the last LS was released). I really wish ANet actually put some effort in dungeon design instead of scrapping the entire aspect completely in favor of LS events. I mean we still have the same 8 dungeons from launch and then fractals, and with fractals they haven't updated since early-mid LS1, before I even got into the game (which was a year ago).
Yeah my assumption is if its an expansion they'd do it in chunks like the living story. Being free would be pretty cool and not a thing I expected!
It wouldn't surprise me, but it would surprise the HELL out of everyone else.
Edit ITS HAPPENING
From the US trademark office? Damn.

I'm pretty excited.
Oh my....this certainly confirms an expansion.
Here's the trademark links

If the direct link doesn't work for any reason, you can search for the trademarks yourself using this site and searching for "NCSOFT": http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp
To add to the hype train, the ONLY items on the patent office website that are Guild Wars related are all products that have been sold so all of GW1 versions, GW2, and now HoT.
Alright Colin, where do I insert my money?

So probably a boxed expansion rather than a free one, then?

That's pretty cool.
Extra hyped for jan 24.
If it is truly a typical expansion .... The wait is going to suck balls.

That will totally make it a non typical expansion but is it worth it to them not to sell it.
Might be like a GW1 campaign where you don't need the main game to play it, or HoT just replaces current boxed version of game when you load it up you can either play past events (Zhaitan) or current events (Mordrremoth).
You already have a heart of thorns. Mr.NoExcitementForAnything.
Locking stuff behind money will just segregate the population, which is something Anet doesn't want.
Unless you mean revamping the world entirely, and giving the older content as instanced content. That also has its problems of segregation, but that can work.

I agree it probably won't be like an expansion for other games, that's why I'm excited for Jan 24th, hope they let us know how HoT will be distributed.
It's gonna be a bit of a surprise for ANET this morning. I'm sure they didn't want this news out this early.

Oh yeah, how come no one is doing CoE at this hour? Shit is easy.
Also is there really a fast HotW run? I've yet to encounter a group that speeds through HotW.

P1 is the fastest run. The other paths have water sections and suck.

The living story is currently paused right? When does it start again? I've been unlocking the chapters every time they open and want to make sure I have all of them before any expansion hits so I can go through them, I played a few but didn't bother doing everything just yet.
Last chapter today.
I really do think Kos is right though. I think that the most likely outcome here is that they make HoT the base game from now on (as in when you buy GW2, you get everything for one price). This would mean that it's free to any current owner of the game, but still costs money for new players. This would effectively solve the player base segregation that ANet doesn't want.

They could charge current players a smaller fee maybe the $20 dollars and bring regular game price back up to 40-50$.
We will find out I guess.
Good having you back in the thread more regularly Jira.
well you won't find the haters in the community forum/OT's would you
Pretty standard, really. I suspect we'll see the usual faces spout their absurdly outdated hyperbolic commentary if they haven't already.
You're welcome to complain about the game here, we all do. It's ok if you don't like the game, but please keep it civil.

Without even bothering to go to gaming side:
"I stopped playing this a few months after launch since I didn't like it, but here are my opinions on the game as if they constitute some kind of factual baseline/"
"Haven't played the game in over a year, and it hasn't changed at all, even though I've not logged in for over a year."
"Combat feels bad, because I prefer 2.5s GDC."
"Without an expansion shoving new carrots in my face, I just didn't know what to do and quit."
"Something something Trinity something."
"Ruined PvP ArenaNet incompetent."
"Yay expansion I hated Living Story even though I only ever saw one episode and never logged in again."
A few posts by people with WoW user icons...
A few more posts by people who shitpost in every single GW2 thread made on this board..
One or two "oh I always wanted to try this" posts, will be seeing them asking for guild invites soon.
Perhaps one post pre-empting the inevitable "GW2 defense force".
If we're lucky, the rare but inevidable "game was P2W it sucked".
If we get any posts with "game had no end-game wah without a gear treadmill live has no meaning", take a shot.
Random comparisons to GW1's business model and chapter release timings, because if a game did it once, all future games should do it exactly that way and screw the reality of different game styles and business models.
But I'm being cynical. Gaming side isn't that bad, but it does tend to have its cliches, which on occasion makes GAF look like a version of the GameFAQ forums but with better spelling.
Season 2 ends today. In order to bring new players and keep them updated, Colin announces the base game will be updated with a S2 package called "Heart of Thorns", which replaces the deluxe edition. The new deluxe edition will include previous datamined changes to the deluxe edition, such as Zodiac armor over GW1 remastered armors and S2 themed itens.
You are welcome.
After announcing that, Colin spends the rest of the presentation talking about the upcoming trinity system.
You are welcome.

Wow. you are the worst. Love it.

Looks like there is a name for that pulsating rose thorn thing in western Silverwastes.
Having a chance at looting the Carapace chest armor from the "Vinewrath" kinda makes it sound like a world boss.
what i'm saying is that people that dislike the game probably won't stay around here in the community thread to complain about it, which make it seem like the gaming side has an enourmous amount of negativity.
I hope it's not the only way to get the chest piece. I've had enough of RNG.
And they don't have to complain whenever a thread pops up concerning a game they don't like. I don't like a lot of AAA games coming out right now, but I don't pop in every thread to complain about it.
edit: Forget it, it's not worth pursuing down this line of argument.
