TGD.3602 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 How are we supposed to get things that are cruicial to a build without having the legendary items in the armory unlocked? I'm missing runes, sigils, food, and utility effects to properly test a build, yet I cannot buy those from the TP because it's disabled... Why are the choices in the bags on a beta character so bad? Half the stuff no one will ever use... I'm able to buy every ascended gear equipment I need from Portable Magnetite Shard Exanche, which is available because it's in a shared inventory slot, but the other stuff I literally cannot get or what? Did every beta have these issues? Please improve this in the long run, without full legendary armory the beta events are almost useless. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Do you really need a fully min-maxed character to test new weapon skills? 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy.3728 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I find any beta bad that steal my drops at the end. Not touching such a system (unless it got changed, I dunno, I dont touch such a system anymore) 4 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Betas past we load the stuff up in our banks the night before so we can access all the things we want to use. Your beta characters have a copy of your account and you can pull everything out of your bank and use it from there. If you don't keep spare relics/food in your bank then I guess you're out of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaia Skyhawk.5064 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Yup, as FortnitemareCourt said, you can just load your gear/food/sigils/etc into your bank ahead of the beta and your bank contents are cloned for the beta characters to use. That's how I've tested the stuff I wanted to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Betas like this one are not about testing the efficiency of weapons and their min-maxing potential. GW2's betas always have been about having the players base test the weapons for bugs and other issues.

TheNurgle.4825 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 We get these weapons in next update so February or so and after that it will take several iterations *read months* for balancing. Also not sure that ppl know what beta testing actually mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 You know, the skills on on these weapons are immediately comparable with other skills on other weapons. This isn't magic, it is numbers and rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorem.8104 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The best part about them doing beta's is we know they will ignore all feedback and any testing we do is pointless. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindredPhoenyx.8976 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) People will want to engineer the fun out of games and if they can't min-max and have everything at their disposal well, game's bad I guess. Idk, maybe I'm too hamster wheel brained right now to care but I just enjoyed the weapons for the themes and I'm sure there's a use for them in not-so-optimal builds that people will have fun with. So long as folk find it enjoyable, that's what kinda matters (and feedback ofc). Edited November 29, 2023 by KindredPhoenyx.8976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asum.4960 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I never understood why Beta Characters don't just come with a full legendary armory - shouldn't be difficult to just make some basic skin items with Legendary functionality and to make that the default gear of any Beta Character. It doesn't really affect me since I'm mostly there on my account - but it just makes so much more sense than all these clunky outdated boxes of exotics, limited selection Sigils, etc. They would get much more valuable feedback if players could actually test these weapons with proper and different setups. 7 hours ago, Gorem.8104 said: The best part about them doing beta's is we know they will ignore all feedback and any testing we do is pointless. Then again, true - it's just for personal testing around anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, here is a hint ... it's not, because you DIDN'T get BiS gear to test it. But if you think you can't give feedback because of that, I'm sure Anet won't miss it. Plenty of other people will.
