DarcShriek.5829 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Considering that the price has risen lately, I find it hard to consider the item worthless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holykitten.3064 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Tbh, I don't see the harm with Anet adding a vendor to swap the Endless Black Lion Contracts. For example, the vendor could have a tab in which you traded your account bound "Endless X Contract" for an account bound "Endless Black Lion Utility Token". Then a second tab to use the token to purchase a different account bound "Endless X Contract", possibly with a weekly/monthly cooldown to deter having access to all at the same time. Idk. Then Anet could just have the Utility Token put into Black Lion chests as well as the tradeable Contracts. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 The repair cannisters were bought so that one would not need to use repair anvils. After the change those who own the endless cannisters will still not need to visit the anvil and will have a buff on top. To be clear, I dont like the change, but those who own the endless cannisters will still have what they had before. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix.4593 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) The key difference is that, before, you could use the item whenever necessary. Like in the middle of an instance. That's what made it sneeky underrated before. Also, depending on the content and duration of play, it was entirely possible to need repair multiple times. It's the only super rare item I've ever gotten. Now I'm considering removing it from my shared inventory slot because I cant see any significant convenience. Kinda bummed, tbh.

Not having to run back to an anvil or leave an instance to repair your armor is what gave the unlimited repair canister value. I also think that most people who have this item (myself included) already keep food and other items to provide buffs so this might not be all that valuable after the update. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying someone who put down 4000+ gold on a bank contract shouldn't complain if the next day instant bank access was free to everyone. To be fair, I think instant bank access should be available to everyone. But, I think it would be a wrong decision not to compensate players who already have the item.

Not if they still have everything they had before and had more added on top of that. Had armor damage been removed from the game with no other change I would agree with you.

Options like if they want to keep it, get refunded or traded for something else. I'm sure some NOT all would like to decide for themselves, since when we bought it we bought it for repairing armor, not for some endless buff boost. Would not want to buy that and waste my gold on it. Think it would be fair to give people choice what they want. What's the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would actually be more inconvenient to open your inventory and click the canister. Please counter this, because I would love nothing more than for this item to have some sort of value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Anet should make the endless repair even more useful and have it spawn an anvil that anyone can use. That makes it valuable for groups in instances, as well as open world groups awaiting a boss or meta, or even WvWers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1508 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I actually prefer it now and its price on the tp has jumped by three times.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekoneiric.6817 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 They could always just have the endless and single use ones lay down a anvil for 5 minutes for group use. It would make the endless ones still worth a lot and there would still be market for the single use ones on the gem store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Wouldn't you know...first time ever (today) getting a contract from a Black Lion Chest, and it turns out to be Endless Reinforcing Contract. I have so many Repair Canisters, or whatever they are called now, that I would never have run out.

There are many times that you can find yourself unexpectedly with damaged armor, and clicking this is way more convenient than going back to an anvil. Now? I cant understand why anyone wants one... Thinking about putting it in the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about putting it in the bank. That's fair enough. Though I kept getting piled with canisters from daily logins, so I've never had a time I needed them, and the few times I did there was a repair stop nearby anyways. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) I onyl have the canisters - about almost 100 from login rewards or so. The buff is pretty long ... and I am a hoarder. I can see myself sitting on those canisters forever lol. I would have preferred if they made some exchange option. Exchanging it for other useful stuff. Even if it was only something minor. (For the contract then something less minor.) I mean ... technically they have such stuff for other things. I think town clothes tonics to the skin or so. And from older boosters - a BLC NPC somewhere. Could be different with the cost. (1, 5, 10 canisters - and other stuff offered.)
