How long until the first thread bitching about the undyable glow?

The glow-channel is fully dye-able.

Ha, yeah. Nice catch. Item Collections are one of the first systems I got to help out with when I started at ArenaNet. Since I helped out, Matt Pennebaker decided to name that NPC after me. Rednax is a grizzled veteran who has taken up spoon collecting as his retirement hobby.

Oof. That's way too high man, I'm sorry. I think people would fight over 200 stats even, but 700+? That's.. oof.

Please reconsider lowering it to 5/10/15 :-\

The buff is meant to be high. This isn't a permanent buff to Bloodlust but a crazy change to it for the event week. I really don't think a team is going to be able to hold onto the Major or Superior buffs for very long without committing a large force to hold those buffs.

Guys you're not getting 30% bonuses to your stats.

Minor Borderlands Bloodlust - currently "30 bonus points to power, precision, toughness, vitality, condition damage, and healing power" // 5% bonus will be 31.5 stats

Major Borderlands Bloodlust - currently "50 bonus points to power, precision, toughness, vitality, condition damage, and healing power" // 15% bonus will be 57.5 stats

Superior Borderlands Bloodlust - currently "60 bonus points to power, precision, toughness, vitality, condition damage, and healing power" // 30% bonus will be 78 stats

u/Anet_Raymond can you confirm? A lot of people are worried we're talking 500-700+ stat bonuses

This IS a 5%, 15% or 30% to your stats. So yes we are talking about some really big bonuses if you can hold onto the Major or Superior buffs.

Will regular bloodlust (from sigil) also be buffed?

No the sigil is unaffected

Fun Fact:

This is a test item called, "The Pillow"

It is full of various skills to instantly kill or damage enemies in various ways. Unfortunately, no, you won't be able to obtain it.

I wish I could just ask Mike O'Brian how cold it was in the building. That's a thick jacket/turtle neck.

It can be cold sometimes. The WvW stream room hit 82 last stream though.

I don't know about merchandise... except to say we need more plushies, all the plushies, including a series of elder dragon plushies, and I'll tell anyone who will listen! :D But I will pass along the idea of a music box -- it certainly seems a cool idea, and I <3 the theme music SO much!

Comment

I forgot about the music box. I wanted it, too. But I do love my Rytlock statue very much. :)

Can you explain that in more detail? What has the trading post to do with the dye channels on weapons? I understand the system is different to armor or mounts but what does the trading post have to do with it? I mean the trading post is for trading or did you mean you had only resources for dye able weapons or the trading post to implement?

The size of the data stored on items is very relevant to the trading post.

That's... interesting, actually. I think that's the first time that rule has been talked about. I know it might be outside of your sphere, but any idea why not?

Artistic integrity?

I agree with /u/axisaver. I would love for there to be even a couple of alternative color choices for some of the weapons. The ascended weapons are a good example of a nice variance in the colors that has already been implemented. If I could get a Nevermore with a white or silver staff instead of a brown one, I'd go for it in a heartbeat. But as its currently designed, I have no interest. Make it an extra MF step even. Complete Nevermore and unlock base skin, and then put Nevermore in with a handful of other ingredients in to unlock the "Frosted Nevermore" or some such thing allowing there to be color choices, via separate skin entries, without it needing to be "dyeable" per se.

I hope this makes sense.

All those ascended weapons in different colors also have geometry differences. We have never done simple color shifts. The team that works on weapons has a rule against it.

u/GaileGray I don't suppose you think it's terrific enough to hook me with a pair of tickets to the PAX West ANet meet and greet, do you? :D I'm gonna be in Seattle visiting my boyfriend (who I met playing gw2!!!!!) and by the time I found out about the event it was sold out.

I am so sorry I missed this prior to PAX West and am sorry you missed the sign-ups. Did you make it through the stand-by line? I'm happy to say that nearly everyone who got into that line did make it into the party... which is good to know for future events.

Thank you, who! I am glad you tagged me to see this! :)

Oh my gosh, I love this SO much!!

Edit to add: Have you thought to share this on our Tumblr page, or in the Community Creations section of the official forums? It's definitely worth more eyes on it.

I found a stall in the event to lead the warband into the Incendio Templum, are there other locations where the meta can stall out? I need to know what stage the meta is in when it stalls. (Any events that are running, what the current state of the meta is, etc.)
