Is it just me or does it seem odd that you are able to grind out to get the stoneskin infusion, and then after that it is just not available anymore? I mean this could be the perfect opportunity to offer a reward that is able to be obtained more than once. Even the other ebon vanguard and crystal bloom rewards don’t offer anything besides material boxes and karma once you have unlocked the recipes or weapons that they offer. I think it wouldn’t harm if the infusion was left in the vendor to obtain mutiple copies. It would give people incentive and more rewards to get by doing DRMs over time. Otherwise are they just going to keep playing them just for materials and the 1 in a billion chance for volcanic stormcaller weapons?

They could make the daily achievement goal a repeatable achievement similar to how they do festival achievements. It shows the ap you can earn in the daily panel, like 10 points. And it is repeatable so if you go into the daily panel you can see your total ap earned from the daily achievement out of a max of 15k. Once you hit 15k, the repeatable achievement is still there, but it won’t show the 10 AP anymore. You would still get the 2g daily.

More chapters to come in my opinion means possibility of increased rewards with increased masteries obtained, making it better to replay once you are max mastery. It is dull right now because the episode is not complete yet. This keeps new people from jumping right in and getting the max rewards without putting in the effort to get the masteries.

I don't see how this "Trashes the legendary rarity" Legendary items still cost a huge amount of gold, time and effort to make. I don't see how making something of great cost more useful could be a bad thing. The whole appeal of legendary items is that you never have to grind/buy another when you unlock them. All this does is make it easier and more convenient then having to bank swap every time you want to play a new character. Not only that arenanet doesn’t have to come up with new ways to get more trinkets. Currently you can only get one copy of vision and aurora.

In all reality you are not getting free copies of anything. You still have to grind and spend your hard earned gold to make the legendaries. Not an easy feat for casuals. Not to mention you can swap gear currently between characters. This is just making it easier to swap and making a huge improvement to the template system that really is needed. It’s not like can you play two of your characters at once so really it would just be as if you were sharing your armor. Transmutations are another story, but I’ll let the develepers figure that mess out.

I do agree that this change to allow transmutation for different templates on legendary gear would be usefull. Currently you can’t do that if you have just legendary gear. I think it would make it more worthwhile if people could do this with legendaries.

Yeah I never had a problem with the first three DRMs and doing public, but with the next 4 and being harder, I find myself dying a lot because the enemies scale up and are tougher to solo. You have to try to find other players and invite them to party. The cohesion is difficult in public too so sometimes it’s just easier to solo.

It won’t be the big expansion idea because 1, not everyone makes legendaries so who would buy an expansion just for that, and 2, it’s supposed to be an update to the existing template system. I imagine it will get a release when it’s ready as they always say. I can see this being something unlockable with the end of icebrood saga, or they’ll release it after the expansion once they can dedicate more time to it.

I was wondering this also. I can only assume it is so, but it hasn’t been long enough yet for people to unlock and try.

You're welcome to your opinion and so is everyone else. ANet should be grateful for the feedback. The alternative is for players to find something better to do with their time without saying a word. I get that and everyone is welcome to their opinion as well. I just wish the boards were more full of constructive critisim, suggestions for improvements, etc, and not just a place where people bitch and complain.

The intent of DRMs is replayable content, even after Icebrood Saga is over. Tyrian Defense seals are the permanent currency you get from DRMs. Faction support marks are obtained and usable only during the time that the faction is at the eye of the north. You can continue to use the faction support marks up until the next faction comes, but you will be unable to earn new faction support marks after the weeklong event is over. Once the faction leaves and there are no more community events, the rewards from that faction will be available for purchase using Tyrian Defense Seals from the permanent vendor. Yes, the Tyrian Defense Seal vendor houses all the faction rewards after the faction event is over.

Everyone doesn’t always have to like the new content, but that’s what it is, new content. Like it or not it adds more to the game to do. We now have 7 replayable missions and counting. Rewards are getting added as more factions come. Missions will get easier as masteries progress, and rewards will get amplified. It’s not complete yet, and there’s still room for improvement. They implemented starting the mission once the preevent was finished. At least they’re taking some suggestions and implementing them. People have been so ungrateful for new free content.

First of all, cms were meant to form a cohesive group to finish them. I don’t believe you have to finish all these achievements to get shiver as there are plenty others to do. Second, DrMs don’t go in LFG for strikes. Try under living world, ice brood saga, champions. Sometimes I see CM groups in there. If not, it takes 5 seconds to post for your own group. There will never be a group unless one gets started by someone. Soloing is totally doable without rezzing the npcs. I ignored them and completed all 4 new drms solo today. You’re not required to keep them alive. Such a lengthy post for nothing it seems.

Well considering they would talk to us when they are longer in the development process and they have not done that.We can with 99% assume that this is on hold, in the same vein as steam launch is frozen. I would assume at this point they will not divulge any information on this until closer to the expansion, or after. We can speculate all we want at this point. I feel it would be a great release with the final Chapter of Icebrood Saga, making it unlockable similar to how previous Legendary Trinkets are unlockable. This could give great incentive for mastering Icebrood Saga as well as selling it to potential buyers of this LW season. If it doesn’t happen this way, it’ll probably come out after the expansion is released as a, “it’ll release when it’s ready” kind of feature. In the meantime, I’m cramming as much legendaries as I can make.

I do see the reason for wanting this. It can be a pain to get gear sometimes. It will totally negate legendary armor and weapons if they did this. This is the prime reason I did legendary was to be able to experiment. I do feel however, that if you want to try out a build, I think they need to make upgrade extractors as easily available as infusion extractors. At least this way you can try different runes without ruining your existing. Honestly I never spend a ton of money gearing out a new build. I get plenty of armor chests through fractals and trinkets are so easy to get without spending gold. The expensive part is infusions, runes, sigils usually.

This battle in Lion’s Arch is my most memorable because it’s the only content I plated of season 1, and boy was it fun. It sounds like a lot more people would love to see its return also. This is a staple moment in season 1 history, and I hope it makes a comeback somehow.

Or they could be the very same boring kill generic destroyers with CC mechanics copied from others bosses in the game, just on more maps missions, because 90%+ of their efforts are on making the expansion.I think this option is more likely. I highly doubt they'll raise the drops chances of these weapons.They never even bothered making invisible shoes more accessible, so why should they do it with these weapons? I mean Bjora the masteries as they progressed you were able to get more and better rewards from the chests when you leveled the masteries. I mean do you think they would go all out and make everything accessible with one chapter? It is 4 chapters total. Masteries are usually key to getting upgraded items and more rewards.

I imagine this first chapter is just a consequence of how these four chapters will play out. At first, the missions will seem bland and not have great rewards because it is only part one. As more chapters and more masteries are available, rewards could get better, with increased chances hoepfully of getting these volcanic weapons.

And when you get in a team who gets wiped at last boss only to get bugged on repeat tries, the team just disbands and moves on without starting over, wasting even more time! Please fix the bugs too!!

Yes they have this it is a golem that is unlocked in Draconis Mons story. Would be a good implementation to Guild halls

Make sure to do all strikes weekly, fill up the bubbles on the chest in eye of the north. When you open it with 3 crystals you get a lot more shards.

Simple. The game is still growing. With the expansion that gives them more little features to add to keep bringing players into the new expansion maps. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more feasts added that require expansion materials.

They should not release mounts with End of Dragons. Mounts is a feature of Path of Fire, by doing so would negate the need for this expansion. Now if they added your sketches as possible skins that you can unlock via collections in the new expansion I think that would be a great idea.

This, exactly this please!
