Make weapons that drop in all campaigns inscribable. If all ARMOR is inscribable, why not all WEAPONS? Maybe not do as they did with the armor and vamp all weapons that have dropped, but why not weapons that drop after the update? When I first saw that update I thought they had done BOTH. Then I was disappointed when someone in my guild said I was wrong

That might not be well appreciated, by those who still want to earn cash out of their stock of perfect Tyrian and Canthan golden weapons.

Yes. I understand it'd take down the value of "perfect" weapons from Tyria/Cantha. But it'd probably help increase the value of good mods. It just doesn't make sense to me that I can't get, say, a +5e gothic dual axe for less than 80k when the individual mods are worth something like 10k. Rare skins would still be expensive, it'd just be easier to make something from a skin you like into what you want rather than having to search for it. My thought is skins like Fellblades would be like Colossal Scimitars (are? were?). Rare and expensive, especially inscribable :P

I suggested after the update because it'd probably be a lot of work to go back and make everything inscribable. If they were willing to make ALL non-white weapons inscribable.... that would be even better.

In the last alliance my clan was, I claimed all the latter udates they have been mading... the keep saying that I was mad, they they will never do such things... and... oh? For y good surprise and they horror, I have been always right. If I see they add a way to change 'modifiers' in weapons... they add inscriptions... if I say that they'll probably make all armor allow insignia... they do so... and I'm positive they will do this. Is a must. It's simply just not fair to have one campaing have something that is 'core' and others not. And inscriptions are core, like insignia, they are part of the PvP system.

They made it with armor. As you can see. It's not a problem for them to do such things. So it's possible.

Now you can have inscribable dropped in Urgoz and The Deep.
Without trading is now impossible for a Factions/Prophecie player to get them inscribed... and if something is a constant in Guild Wars is that anyone can get almost anything without trading (excluding special event items and contest/tournamet prices and such, collector stuff can be got if you buy the collector edition, available to anyone that reserves it)

As you see... it's very likely that they will add either upgrade traders or inscriptions in all campaings. I would love both, thought, XD.

Probably when GW:EN is near.

just no...

You can't stop the future, mate!

Skins matter, mods are separate!

IMO the economy is too broken now to start giving out free canthan/tyrian weapon skins, this would destroy the value of anything from tyria/cantha/hoh with the exeption of req 8's and things like crys/runic blades.

Sure ... but the only way not to upset too many people, is to make such an update retroactively turn all weapons in inventories and storage into inscriptible (similar to how the armor update was done).

Do not fear for the 'economy' it will always exist. Jus change and evolve.
One thing that everyone must keep in mind is that every single item they have may have its value changed over time, even gold.
Miniatures raised a little, when they became shown in outposts.
Ectos dropped with the drop scale update...

What is importat is not if something changes its value or not, it is it woul have any real use. And being able to inscribe a Mursaat hammer... oh... that would have real use.
Even if they make inscribables drop only in hard mode, the change would till be apreciated.

Currently almost anything drops at req 8..10 in Hard Mode, and that way anything req 11 or more just became feed for heroes or merchants...

And of course, the uptdate would be for all, not only for the new drops, otherwise it would be much unfair that not making it at all.

How would it be giving out "free" weapon skins from cantha and tyria? Are all NF weapon skins free? that comment doesn't make sense to me. O.o;

donaldbrooke · Jun 15, 2007, 12:59 AM // 00:59

It will happen the only question is when.
To be fair it will be done the same way that it was done with armor. So a rare tyrian or canthan weapon will still be rare. Yes with some weapons there will be a initial adjustment in value.
But remember the reasons for the demand for those weapons will still be there hence the prices should not change drastically

Star Gazer · Jun 15, 2007, 01:07 AM // 01:07

dont bug the designers with silly questions like this! They are far too busy working on GW2 to listen to any of our concerns

Rhia Aryx · Jun 15, 2007, 03:55 AM // 03:55

lol. Then they shouldn't've given us the armor insignia update XD

Please read through these forums. Been suggested hundreds of times.
It would destroy the economy even more then it already is.

if anet did this they would have to change all existing weapons to inscribable or i can see in 6 months time selling r10 long sword 15^50 non-inscribable 100k+xxxectos and this raises an existing problem... what happens to all the ppl with +15%dmg always...hmmm perplexing

I think this is an unfounded argument, pure speculation.

I made an effort to find it on the forums. I also checked the topics list and did not find it there. If you find a link to when it was already proposed in its own topic then I missed that.

O.o; I'm sorry, but I didn't understand that. Yes, I was proposing that they make all of them inscribable. The second part of your post... I'm not sure what you mean or how that makes sense. If you could explain it I'd love to understand your point

judgedread33 · Jun 15, 2007, 09:47 AM // 09:47

yeah sorry i dont think i was very clear... well there were some weapons that were droped from chests as a bug that have dmg mods with +15% or +14% that have no negative condition. they are very rare and even non-max ones go for alot these days.
