Just doing some story missions on my Sylvari, specifically the ones where we get to see a Sylvari from another tree. I think it's cool that they have already planned out the storyline all the way from before the launch. I wonder if we'll see Malyck again in HoT.

He was referenced in one of the last living story updates, in a lore book iirc.

 

[Quenk]

You guys should have had GAF T-shirts or something printed so we could find you in the crowd.

We'll be the 3 people sitting together :V

 

[Kos Luftar]

[Tech-Wolf]

[Emitan]

Was that video really choppy for anyone else?

[Shiokazu]

What an awful day

 

[Levyne]

Raids are 10 man instances involving both masteries and dynamic events.

(I dunno how the stream is doing)

 

[Emitan]

omg weapon swapping and dodge rolling confirmed

thank you colin

 

[Levyne]

First raid is split into 3 wings, starting a couple weeks after HoT launch.

 

[Emitan]

says raids will be part of their rapid content updates

 

[spiritfox]

Fractals will still be updated huh. Hopefully we get new maps soon.

Also RIP dungeons.

 

[nataku]

Yep, dungeons are dead. At least they're doing more fractals.

 

[Emitan]

GW2 is free after the presentation today

 

[Blooddimond]

Wish they mentioned how many bosses were in each wing. Ah well, prob will clarify later

 

[Retro]

So... GW2 is now free. As in now, as soon as the live stream is over, apparently.

 

[spiritfox]

Hmm, not a trial.

 

[Retro]

Hmm, not a trial.

I hope the mandatory SMS restriction will keep most of the bots and such out... they're talking about it right now though, so...

 

[Emitan]

Free accounts have less storage (bag slots, character slots)
Cant do map-wide chat
Can only whisper once every 30 seconds
Can't send items via mail
Can't enter WvW until level 60

 

[spiritfox]

Going from free to paid is only through buying HoT? What if they spend money to buy gems?

That awkward silence...

 

[OrigiNull]

That section was sooooo flat

 

[spiritfox]

Yay new outfit.

 

[Quenk]

Ooh. New outfit

 

[Emitan]

Giving out an outfit to existing players. Royal Guard Outfit. Being mailed this week.

 

[Retro]

BWE3 confirmed.

 

[Dead]

Wish they'd at least tease Druid and Forge

LEGENDARY ARMOR

As part of rewards for raids, we're introducing legendary armor. Conquering raid content will earn you the pieces to build legendary precursor armors, which can be forged into legendary heavy, medium, and light armor sets. Like legendary weapons, these pieces will have the same stats as ascended armor; you'll be able to change the armor stats out of combat and dazzle your friends with your sense of style, but you won't have a statistical edge. Endless tiers of gear grind to stay raid relevant have no place in Guild Wars 2.

Heart of Thorn's raids will drop materials to craft legendary armor

[spiritfox]

Royal Guard Outfit.

 

[Wanderer5]

Woo raids, even through those will take some time most likely, so gotta see when I be able to check them out. Also sweet free outfit to existing players!

 

[Ashodin]

Heart of Thorn's raids will drop materials to craft legendary armor

Now I know why they haven't released the ley line armor. It's legendary I bet

 

[nataku]

Royal Guard Outfit.

[&DBsAAAA=]

[Kos Luftar]

2 total new armor sets are listed in the Heart of Magumma sections, does the count the Legendary Armor?

 

[nataku]

[&DBsAAAA=]

whoops you edited.

They actually modeled a proper space for Charr horns and tail. I'm surprised.

 

[Snakethesniper]

Does the f2p version has some limitations? Or is it completely free? I already have the core game bought 2 years ago, just curiosity
