I've just been collecting my unidentified dyes to make Bifrost for my elementalist (you need 250 for the Gift of Color). I forgot about that plan shortly after I learned what making a legendary entails ( ), but I still have almost a full stack of unid dyes in my bank. Hmmm, now may be a good time to TP them all?

Actually right after the blog was posted they went over a gold each, they were over 60s each a couple hours ago when i cashed in all my laurels for dyes.

No more random dyes dropping sucks. And I certainly hope there are more ways to get those transmute charges than just with gems. Otherwise there's even less reason to ever come back since there will be less dyes and it will cost real money to transmute anything.
Well, you can buy Gems with in game gold (6 and a half gold per hundred when I looked at it a few days ago), but yeah your point stands. Transmuting is one of the things that they could look at. I actually thought dyes were account unlocks already. silly me. I guess I'll be waiting on the patch to use the 35 I have banked :D I'm currently working on exploring and unlocking the entire world on My Elementalist. I also tried out crafting, but getting levels on it got very expensive very fast, so I'm playing "gather and stock up." Having a Charr elementalist is interesting, especially as the walking and running animations don't look totally stupid on a charr compared with the Humanoids and the growls when I'm spellcasting adds something viceral. All in all I'm enjoying myself. Thinking of trying an Asura Mesmer next.

Why wait until the patch to use them?

Hmm, I was just thinking of waiting till they were account wide to unlock them, but rereading the post I realize that they mean that all colours you have already unlocked for any of your characters will be unlocked account wide, so there really is no reason to wait, I suppose.

I already have black on one character, so I'm good. Cashed in my laurels (I wish at 1g per). Not that I really use money for anything. I guess I can be a pal and chip in for food/siege.

I don't get why people are selling now, rather than after the supply gets cut off at the knees?

Cause demand is also going to take a hit at the same time, and all repeat dyes in your account will turn into unided dyes when they patch resulting in a massive influx of supply.

We knew that account bound wxp was coming for a while. Welcome change as I have a decent amount of split WXP between 3 characters. I won't be rank 300 or something, but I will have enough to have decent builds going forward.
Good change on the ascended gear, although it doesn't address the issue in that if I change builds, my old ascended item can be near useless. Doesn't help much that it's now a more effective hand-me-down for another character. I'd really love there to be stat rerolling on it. Perhaps combine the old ascended item and a new inscription, and then get your stats redone. That would be ideal, but I don't see it happening.
All I'm waiting for now is improvements to the auction house interface. PLEASE LET US SEARCH BY ARMOR TYPE.

On the dye thing, it says they'll come from the forge now. How does crafting dyes work?

If I remember correctly there are cooking recipes for various shades, but they take quite a lot of mats and you can't make specific colors.

Ah, yes, I remember the recipes from my cook now. But those weren't on the forge and they specifically mentioned the forge, right?

You can make unidentified dyes on the mystic forge with pvp mats, but those are going away too. You can also throw four dyes on the forge and get a new dye with a i think 20% chance of it being a tier up. As far as i know there aren't any other recipes for it.

I'm hoping for a recipe that calls for thin leather and bloodstone dust.

Sounds like what they are actually doing is cutting the money given from Champs and other stuff, and getting rid of Repair costs as a sop and an excuse. Even as a newbie repair costs have never been an issue for me.

They are taking gold from farmers and giving it to everyone, sounds good to me.

I cannot begin to understand why it is that way other than as a "fuck you" to their customers.

There is a anet dev that posts on the SA forums that was working on a TP redo since basically launch, there has been a lot of delays including taking time off cause his wife having a kid but apparently it is getting done sooner or later.

Because of the achievement rewards giving way too many pieces of PvP gear, at least this means I'll be getting a lot of skins unlocked.

That's one hell of a long gestation period!

The requirements for this season of wuvwuv are much more reasonable, specially since you get 9 weeks to do them.

That's good, because I log in, take one look at the queues, and then promptly log off.

So basically a single 'underflow' server for each zone? Not surprised, this has been an obvious problem since launch. The fact that it still won't make it possible to cross the US-EU border (especially in spvp) makes me sadface though.

I seem to remember in WoW when they did a big talent patch it was somewhat fun looking at all the new build possibilities and considering different play styles (even during the reign of Ghostcrawler). This talent patch feels more like trying to find a combo that isn't pointless. Far too many talents that are situational, underpowered and on long cool-downs even before being applied to pretty bland powers. Even path of exile, on launch, was more fun than this. GW1 was an order of magnitude more fun than this.
Really tragic, there's talent in their content creation people (not the writers) but the game design has done very little with the solid foundation they had at launch.

Just logged for the first time in months and my warrior feels - flat.
Top DPS from what I've been reading is Axe/X with no weapon swap. Boring.

To be honest, the combat in this game has always felt flat for me. Limiting the number of abilities does make combat faster, but it really limits the amount of counter-play options. Very disappointing in a PvP game.

The armor and weapon part of the wardrobe system is great.
They made town clothes almost more pointless. The outfit is a single piece now, or a tonic. No mixing and matching. Dye affects the whole instead of individual pieces. You can hide helms and shoulders, but it's the outfit helm and shoulders or nothing. For example I loved the look of the Halloween wraith hood with the Mad King outfit. I can't do that now so it's either pumpkin head or plain. Once unlocked outfits are at least free.
Costume weapons are now bundles instead of equipable weapons. Not sure how I feel about that yet.
Dyes being account-wide are nice.
