Man...I've got alot of rounds to make with this one.



Thank You, GW Guru

I thought for sure this was going to get shut down. The thread, that is. Thanks for letting the discussion happen. They usually get nuked do to flames, or circles of round-a-bout logic n' posts. Kudos.

Thank You, Forum Members!

It's all of you that contributed. Without you, this would have not happened. It would have stopped at the support desk. You all gave it the attention and drive it needed to have that valuable chance at success.

Anet, PlayNC...

Wow.

You've restored my faith beyond doubt. I've been vocal in many past posts about how you don't listen or care. How humbling.

I guess, like I mentioned on the other forum, I'm up the creek without a paddle the next time I even begin to say you don't care, or listen.

I kinda like the taste of humble pie though. Thanks. Much respect.

And yet you post a picture of a Charr Salvage Kit...why?

EDIT: Apparently the Salvage Kit was a stealth update today. Now I don't understand the OP at all. This has to be the most ambigious Thank You thread ever.

Zinger there was a thread the past couple days asking for advanced salvage kits in pre-searing. the poster got his wish. not sure why it wasn't in the notes though...

He's happy because now there's a way to salvage runes off armor in pre-searing.

He was the guy asking for a superior salvage kit in pre-sear to solve the economy flaws or whatever... and he got it.

Edit: Lol, sorry Arcane. :P

I actually let my brother on my PC while I was planning to write something on this topic. Pardon the rudeness


I happen to play Pre often, and I know this will be of great use to people who play in Presearing moreso than Post. Although I'm wondering as to why it wasn't in the update notes, odd but Anet has done it in the past.

As far as helping people in Presearing, this will be of great use to those going for LDoA, at least during the Charr killing part :P. Kill some of the bordom of that title.

Cool update, I'm going to go check it out right now

Freakin sweet, Firebaall. The Charr were a great way to add extra pre storage, so it was only fitting they were also the way to add expert salvaging. Especially because the Charr are generally what you get salvageable items from (armor, weapons, etc.).

According to Guildwiki, they only drop from Charr, obviously.

Of course, since they only have 5 uses, it's kinda worthless. Why couldn't ArenaNet just allow vendors in Pre-Searing to sell Expert Salvage Kits? It's not like it'll break the balance of the whole game...

*shrug* the point was to be able to salvage runes to put in your armor, and it serves that use... 5 armor spots, 5 uses... it fits. theres no rune trader so its just meant to be used as needed...

Godawesome!
I really appreciate the fact they are drops not bought from merchant, and that they dont have 20 or more uses.
I think i'm buying a slot for a perma pre char in a few days

Woah...

Cant believe this was acted upon so quickly unless of course Arena net was working on it before hand. Then again its a expert kit modified

worthless? Maybe you need reality check, this is all player should need in presear ... five salvages for five runes (besides you will get lots of such kits way long before you get usefull armor bits to use them on.).

and vendors? They give it to people according to their skill (can kill charr bosses = you have it for free, ffs.) not according to how much gold they can amass.

Come on, this is way more than most people expected, they messed up hard with factions grind, but this ain't place for complaints about acually good feature.

I gotta say, that's quite a neat little update. The longest time I spent in pre-sear was eight hours but I recall finding a rune of vitae once and disappointed that I couldn't use it on my armor. And this salvage kit is so small that it fits perfectly with the atmosphere of green old Ascalon.

Jolly good show.

<= Not a pre-searing player, but I want to congratulate ANet on reacting so quickly on this. Having a 5 uses kit drop is a perfect solution, keeping pre-searing different, but making salvaging achievable.

Yay it worked!

Pre searing is very happy and the cheaters are showing their true colors

Runes in pre being about status? Lol those cheaters think pre is ruined now! Those same cheaters even tried selling the salvages for 10k each instead of the usual 60k each just yesterday
....and it was all about status HA! To them it was all about cold hard cash right from the start!

I'm a very happy person, this weeks been realy strange for me (guild of the week and now this) and I've seen 4 sunrises this last week but it was worth it

Thx for giving me and the others of the pre community the means to voice our issue to the devs with a succesfull ending Firebaall! You have succeeded where the rest of us had failed previously

Fireball mate, I followed your thread from the start & the ignorant black marketeers (oops did i say that out loud) who got scared because their main source of gold was taking away from their scamulous dealings :O

Well done for starting & getting a very well needed addition to pre.

I think your attitude is to be commended while for me, I will no doubt continue to pester the scammers etc or moody guys who dont like this.

Its a good thing & well done! also well done anet for actinbg so quicjly on this. Fair play to you.

Congrats Firebaall! I salute you! You are the fighter of the good fight. You're the one who, "can get it done". As I've said before, you speak very well in your posts, and present your case very intelligently. Could you please start a thread about loot scaling? Once again, a job well done.

If anyone wants to bitch........ I haven't had a character in pre in 3 months... so, meh.
