What key site would you all recommend to get this game for cheap(er)? Specifically NA heroic or whatever package gets me all the in game goodies.

20% off from Green Man Gaming may be your best bet.

So any news on the skins- will you just get 1? Will they be account unlocks?

Cause they are overall good, the hammer is kickin rad but the dagger is comically large for some reason.

If you complete the WvW season 2 meta, you get a chest that includes tickets. The number of tickets you receive is based upon how your world performs in season 2. 300 tickets are required to purchase a mistforged weapon skin. If Maguuma comes in last place again, no one on Magumma will get a mistforged skin as sixth place only pays out 275 tickets. Instead, you can buy one of the components, then buy another component after the next season occurs, and use the mystic forge to combine them to create a mistforged skin.

I see Maguuma is currently ranked number five, so hopefully we can come in fifth place in gold league or we're all screwed.

If there are any other sources, they have not revealed them.

Apparently the troll boss in HotW path 1 has been changed to the troll from AC. As in literally the same boss as it drops bags with ascalonian tears.

Someone really likes their copy/paste functions.

The change doesn't really make it much harder if your familiar with the AC troll though, it'll make pubs who aren't used to dodging cry but hes got obvious tells for the big damage moves and you can 'safely' melee him.

Considering the amount of players getting pulled into the assault knights every time at the end of the event, I think this change could cause some rage.

As someone who is pretty awful at this game this change sounds pretty fun. The rage part might come from the hilariousness that it still gives ascolonian tears rather than bear bucks.

I don't think anyone else has mentioned it yet, but it looks like they're finally working on that wardrobe function.

code:

109717_0361 	Single-use. Gives you transmutation charges, which can be spent in the wardrobe to change appearance.

That always raises so many questions with me. 'can they not see the warning texture on the floor?' 'do they think they can block it?' 'do they just not care about the damage?'

Maybe I just expect way too much of the average PvE player but this does go a way to explaining most of the other MMOs on the market.

I hope this isn't like everything else that's data mined and never put into place. This game needed a wardrobe at launch. It's probably going to be a gem store thing and per character. Hopefully they will give us several tabs but this is doubtful.

The feature patch must have some decent things in it, wardrobe, scavenger hunt, pvp rewards etc.

Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.
I'd be up for a wardrobe system where you unlock stats (e.g. ascended berserker stats for helmets) for all future helmets on your account, rather than making a single ascended helmet for one character.

Brilliant Master Genius
Although they've been pretty vague about the upcoming changes to PvP rewards, what they have said would all be consistent with introducing a wardrobe system, so I'd be pretty surprised if that's not what we're getting in the big feature patch. The data-mined strings would be pretty good confirmation of that.

Oh that would be so nice. But it'd cut out of their transmutation stone sales, which doesn't make sense from a business point of view.

Unless transmutation stones were used to add or remove skins from the wardrobe.

One way of doing it would be that it keeps a running record of every saved skin, but you still need the stones to make them. (besides who doesn't have like 50 xmute stones wasting space in bank)

Do you still need to spend gems to switch servers? I'm on TC and there aren't many guilds I'm seeing doing dungeons/fractals now that I have 3 classes at 80 (thief, guardian, mesmer) and want to just do end game stuff.

You don't need to switch servers for that. Also tc may be the most populated server in the game these days. But yes is the answer to your question.

The trade-off for the troll was making the boss easier, he has less health and the totems don't come back as often.

Wow, they actually reduced that dude's health? That was the only part of Hotwa 1 I really didn't like, because that last boss was so loving long.

Do you have to kill the dog/icebrood adds around the troll boss now? Or can you still skip?
