    Wait. Are you suggesting there are people who aren't buying an extra three slots the moment they can access the trading post?

    This is... quite confusing.
    Some people won't have 8 slots?

    How many dollars will a character slot cost?

    Speaking as someone who hasn't really participated in the betas and whatever, I have no intention of buying anything beyond the box and expansions I like. What stuff is going to be up for microtransactions?

    Cosmetics, account utilities like character slots or server transfers, mystic keys and temporary xp or karma boosts.

    Since the digital deluxe edition is so lackluster, I'm putting those 20 dollars towards bag slots.

    I'm sure for those who have been following the thread more closely this is a stupid question, but: Mystic keys?

    Like tf2 keys, they open up chests you find- except they're also rare drops in game.

    Gems are cheaper in dollars than euros, that's an arbitrage scheme waiting to happen.

  • HugglesHuggles Registered User regular
    Uh, they're apparently called Black Lion keys/chests now.

    I'm spending the money I didn't on the deluxe edition on character slots instead.

    I believe gems are nontransferable outside of the Black Lion gem exchange.

    I don't play the normal F2P games because of the lockbox drops - I have some sort of ingrained problem and I will spend hundreds of dollars on keys to unlock them just to find out what's inside. I need to put a parental control on my account that just wont let me buy keys. Anything else is fine.

    Are you the magic man?

    You can get keys via your personal story rewards too. And chests sometimes contain keys.

    The chest contents are all gem store stuff too, if I'm not mistaken. I tend to dump them until I find a key, then open the next chest that drops.

    Yeah this is important. Black Lion chests drop:

    1x gathering tool
    1x boost item
    1x tonic

    I think I'm actually going to have to upgrade when they give the option.

    Question regarding engineers.

    Engineers can throw sticky glue on the ground for the cripple effect. Is that supposed to have a target reticule where I can throw it anywhere near me? Every time I press it I don't get a reticule and I just throw it on the ground. It has a small reticule over the key map itself. Do I get this past level 20? I was only level 13.

    Did you have smart-cast turned on?

    Honestly don't know what smart cast is, but I assume no since I turned off every auto target option I could find. I'll check for it though, thanks.

    What was it, 2 motes to a cracked shard, 4 cracked shards to a key, i forget what sing keys ended up being worth. Plus before they fixed it there was the money loop from qualabar to kara and back.

    I don't know much about Engineers so that's about as far as my help goes but smart-cast (not 100% if that's what they call it in GW2 I just know the option is there) makes it so all area targetted spells cast on button press whereever your cursor is without bringing up a reticule.

    But Yea, I believe if it shows on the icon it SHOULD be a targetted spell.

    "Meh" was how I felt about the stuff the Deluxe version got you.

    I'll spend it instead on gems to get a Top Hat, dye packs, and some random Minis :)

    Also in this spoilered photo, there appears to be an item called a "Cow Finisher"...

    Question:

    Are they putting in (or have they put in) replays for sPvP?

    This seems like a game that could totally be shoutcasted/day9alized... If there were replays....

    if that doesn't change the PvP execution from an impaling flag to a giant cow that falls from the sky, I am going to cancel my pre-purchase

    Is your ground-target quick cast on? If it's on, you'll automatically target wherever your cursor is pointing when you select the skill.

    It was in during the last BWE, and I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it does.

    Depends on how thick THICK is.

    A little bit of thickness can be sexy.

    Thanks Daemon and Ironzerg.

    I'll look again in options when I get back in game. It looks like they took away the -useoldlauncher command.
