 * It's nice to be able to maintain it, but that's not a major change. not enough for the sup vig I failed to salvage when making my new warrior armor. :[ Foo 02:28, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Are you psyched? I'm psyched. My Mesmer-pirate's even more psyched. Such psyching. --Black Ark 06:18, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Wow I <3 the new storage upgrades :D

Existing item changes
Can't believe they nerfed pre-existing items... that is really lame. I spent a huge amount of cash on my Rockmolder's back in the day and now I'm screwed. Not only did they nerf my rockmolders but they also nerfed my Nolani wand... what next? My healing focus with health -50 to a blood focus? My +55 health Hod Axe? My 15% FFS? :'( When will the nerf bat stop?!? - Stexe
 * It will likely stop when all items no longer acquirable are not unbalancing compared to current/acquirable items. This isn't the first time they've done it.  I can't think of a single argument against this that doesn't fly in the face of the idea of an even, skill-based playing ground for PvP.  --68.142.14.33 03:40, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * It's simply a shame! They are destroying one ledgend after the other. HoD, Rockmolder, Sup. Absorption... those were items which were something special. Now it's all gone. Thanks Anet, with every update the game is getting more unattractive (in my case, maybe other ones too). Why do you play a virtual game where all is about heroism and glory when you just can't get it. Everything in GW is just about farming. Nothing that needs real skill is appreciated. All I can say is: I hate that and it might be the reason for me to stop playing (No threat but simple truth)  ---Kai Neah Nung 06:07, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * What in "HoD, Rockmolder, Sup. Absorption" "is about heroism and glory"? Where does "real skill" come into play in what you said? What are you talking about?--Ishmaeel 06:16, 14 July 2006 (CDT)


 * No offense to you Kai Neah Nung, but you seem to have come down to earth with a thud from these updates, those items you refer to have nothing to do with heroism, they have everything to do with having a bigger wallet than anyone else. Nothing more, nothing less... and as far as HoD sword goes they've made the energy upgrade available to all (which isn't my point but...) which is great because not everyone was there when the HoD sword was around, if you think it's heroic and glorious to be elite with an item was seldum available to other people... then we have different ideas of what those words mean.
 * When all is said and done, I didn't mean for that to turn into a rant a big wall of text, but what i said was true, there is no heroism or glory in greed. --Jamie [[Image:Jamie.jpg|24px|(Talk Page)]] 06:22, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I can, to an extent, imagine your frustration, but think of it this way. All of the old "outdated" uniques (Victo's Axe, anyone?) were upgraded recently to be as powerful as their recent incarnations - so why shouldn't old, possibly bugged items (Rockmoulder, most definitely; there are no other 20% all-recharge items in the game) be brought down to a current level? Especially because these things don't drop any longer, it gives people with enough money to afford one an unbalanced advantage over newer players who "missed out". As for the HoD-weapons, there are plenty of other weapons in the game that spawn with a +energy mod nowadays - I shouldn't have to point out the fact that you can have them crafted but I'm going to, anyway. Finally, the Rune of Superior Absorbption? Yeah, it was real sweet that only dedicated rune-farmers could get their hands on those, short of shelling out an arm and a leg at a rune-trader. Real sweet indeed. Next time you decide to curse your miserable fate, maybe you should stop for a second and think of how these terrible injustices to your person makes the game more accessible to newer players. --Black Ark 06:31, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Ascalon armor
thats a blow &mdash; Skuld  06:20, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * adapt or die skuldie --Jamie [[Image:Jamie.jpg|24px|(Talk Page)]] 06:24, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Might get kurzick gladiator armour, I don't like 15k glads full set and theres no point keeping the ascalon boots &mdash; Skuld  06:26, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * To maintain the refined look of a classic gentleman. --68.142.14.33 06:28, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * While it is going to change the armor usage of all warriors, it wasn't exactly unexpected. And now it is like it's supposed to be. Doesn't matter too much though since they also made all absorbtions only apply to physical damage. &mdash; Galil  06:50, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
