I’m no expert on the law but as long as Astral Acclaim stays as an in-game currency I don’t see why it would be an issue to be able to ‘buy’ keys with statuettes for Belgium. Offering BLS’ on the gem store would be a great alternative but you can use real money to convert to gems, thus being a workaround to get keys. This way it probably isn’t legal under the anti-lootbox law. You cannot however exchange real currency for Astral Acclaim so the vault seems like a great way of offering BLS’ to people in these regions. The way for us obtaining these is already very scarce and there are some pretty nice cosmetics and QOL items locked behind them.

Perhaps make them only available in the Vault of people located in these anti-lootbox regions? I mean, we can’t buy keys either way, so no loss of revenue. It sucks that obtaining Black Lion Statuettes are mostly bound to keys as we have no reliable way of getting these in our region.

There are other items in the Vault that were previously only available by spending gems so I don’t think ‘people need to spend gems on this item’ is too good of an argument.

Sure, I don’t mind a limit of 60 or so at a price of 30-50 AA/each so we can atleast buy one 60 BLS cosmetic with every reset..

Mind elaborating?

I’ve made a thread in the past about the availability of Black Lion Statuettes (BLS) for players located in anti-lootbox countries saying that there is almost no surefire way for people to get these. I live in Belgium and unfortunately, yet understandably, we cannot buy Black Lion Keys so the only way for players in our region to get BLS’ is to either: - Do weekly keyfarm lvl10 or 40. - Map Completion and hope for random Black Lion Key drop - Birthday presents from characters that are at least 6 years Considering the amount of BLS’ needed for certain items or cosmetics, I find myself often farming for MONTHS on end to accumulate 60 BLS’ for a certain skin I’d like to buy. Now that we have the Wizard’s Vault, it’s perfect to add BLS’ as a reward for Astral Acclaim so that people in these anti-lootbox regions have a fair and consistent way to get more of them. Thoughts on adding Black Lion Statuettes to the Wizard’s Vault as a reward? Edit: Perhaps a limited amount of 60 BLS’ per Vault reset. With a cost of 30-50 AA per BLS or something along those lines.

Stop. Feeding. The. Troll. To get back on-topic, I think the Decade armor looks amazing. Don’t really care in what form it will come, might as well just be skins without stats and I’d still be going for them regardless. Looking forward to unlocking them. Not sure how I feel about their ‘exclusivity’ seeing as everyone can unlock them, nonetheless GW2 Fashion Wars is so diverse I guess you wont see them around ‘too’ often. I’m guessing the achievements for it are going to be either extremely easy or excessively grindy. Very curious!

Ooof, getting big insecurity vibes from OP. Just get the Skyscale mate, it's not that bad of a grind. Do some strikes and exchange ice for map currency. I'm sitting on 2000 of each of the currencies and I'm not even actively farming them... Open a tablet/smartphone/second monitor with all the places you need to visit and you will have the collection done in a few days without even grinding. What a weird post...🤔

This is insanely frustrating for quickly doing your dailies. Hope they will fix this soon...

Couldn't they just write a script that adapts current armors and their reference points with those of the new race's skeleton? I think a Tengu skeleton would not be that much different compared to the Charr skeleton. Just let the script change the reference points and then have a team do some manual cleanup if certain textures become too stretched or bugged? A new race would definitely be a huge selling point for another expansion so the return on investment might be worthwile.

Title is already known according to the wiki. Apparantly it's "Unwavering".

Haven't done any T4 fractals in a while and was thinking of running power Alacren. Is this still viable for T4 Fractals or has the role of alacrity been replaced by another, more favorable profession such as a HAM for example?

Atleast update the UI a bit so that boons/conditions/buffs each get their own row instead of being mixed into one long row that dissapears behind my minimap... how hard can it be?

*Siren's Reef has entered the chat.*

We hardly even get those in Belgium because of anti-lootbox laws. In other words, this skin is almost unobtainable for people in anti-lootbox regions.

So insta-sell on weekly acquire it is. Thanks!

What if they introduce the new sets for each elder dragon?

I thought that Asura's were specifically named with only 1 word, often with 2 consonants. Take a look at Asuran NPC's. Just one word.

Be more creative. I create new characters regularly and very rarely I get the message "This name is already taken". Even with single word names.

Strange, must've recently updated this as it originally showed full vipers. Might do some tweaks with some legendary gear stats to hit a more comfortable BD %

I've also noticed they mention this and try to keep this in mind. But why exactly should it be used AFTER starting combat? What changes exactly compared to using it before the fight starts?

I've been having a lot of fun lately with the Quickness Condi Harbinger. It promises 100% quickness uptime, but I seem to hit a barrier around 75% for the subgroup on average. If I'm right, the only quickness it delivers comes from the Harbinger shroud pulse and Elixer of Anguish, correct? Am I just not timing my shroud/elixer rotation correctly or is there something I'm missing? Maybe not everyone in my subgroup is stacking correctly or I'm misthrowing my Elixer or something? Running full Viper as recommended by Snowcrows/Discretize.

Why would you exaggerate like that? I've never had the need to use excel sheets for this game. I'm as casual as it gets, but that hasn't stopped me from looking at metabuild or snowcrows to see how a proper build functions. I also take my time to read what skills actually do and how they can affect my playstyle. After failing something I try to at least analyse what went wrong so I can avoid the same mistakes next time. I like to progress in a game, be better than I was yesterday and also have challenging content to apply my new skills. Games SHOULD become more difficult in time instead of serving us the same old cookie-cutter content. I understand you don't even want to bother with this very basic stuff, but some people do and actually enjoy the fact that you need to use your brain a bit instead of just pressing 1 while watching Netflix on a second monitor. No one is forcing you to do this content, but you sure are missing out, I can tell you that! Yup, clear as day when I saw we had over 6 minutes left on the timer after struggling the other 10+ times.

So after trying the DE meta 10+ time and failing each time, I was also wondering why they wouldn't just add maybe 2 minutes or so to the event timer to make it more doable. About 4-5 runs would've been succesfull with a little bit of extra time. Failed a few runs with <5% health left. After failing numerous times, I finally decided to just do a DE meta run together with the Hardstuck guild. I joined their map and squad, but didn't join the discord as I've got a pretty good idea of how the meta works by now. We killed the dragon with 6:30 minutes left on the timer... let me repeat that; we had six minutes and thirty seconds left on the timer... This is just proof for me that the meta is not hard at all, it's just that the average PUG group is so unorganized and plays their builds so badly, which in turn makes the meta way harder than it really is. The problem isn't with the meta itself, rather than people just refusing to learn and adapt their playstyle for this encounter.

There is a cap of 15K AP from Daily and Monthly achievements combined. Hover your mouse over your total AP and it should give a breakdown of how much AP you've gained from Permanent, Daily and Monthly. Daily and Monthly should add up to 15K for you I'm guessing.
