I really want to be able to use my assassin to T2 T1 ect in fow or uw. But i dont want to playu the campaigns to get the skill needed for that. So an idea would be to make The outposts in Prophecies, Cantha, and NF unlockable for all chars via the guild wars store just like skill are unlocked via gw store (provided u have the tomes)


FOWSC here i come

Easy enough to get runs to anywhere you want to go if you really can't be bothered to play, /notsigned.

/notsigned.....this is like the introduction of tomes: you can have an asskicking build at lvl 2 with elite skills and stuff...

Your problem can be issued like this: get skill tomes and learn the skills u miss, go to Eye of the North, do some quest and play the f***ing game....that would be the real end of gamestory playing, which is always nice!

Worst idea I've heard in a long time. And that's saying something.

What do you mean by that? Do you mean there's a skill or something sold in, say, Ember Light Camp, and you want to be able to learn that skill without playing through Prophecies?
Well, you already know about skill tomes, obviously, so if that is the case, unlock it (you can just buy/cap it on one of your other characters that is already there, if you don't want to spend Balth faction) then use a tome.

If this isn't what you meant, then my above statement stands.
If this is what you meant, then problem solved, and my above statement still stands.

Dear god no... This would be worse than the skill packs.

/unsigned

From how it reads, their assassin is their only character, they want a skill from a different campaign and cba to actually play any other campaign. I could be wrong but it's how it reads.

Anyway, awful idea, dnw. Let's not forget there are a LOT of quests that tie into unlocking outposts. "Journey to House zu Heltzer/Cavalon" would be pointless.

You'll probably ask for Obsidian Armour to be bought from the store next because you can't be bothered to gather the materials.

In PvE you are supposed to play though it.

It's bad enough ya you can skip all maguuma missions and most of Kryta's.

The Vabbi and Kourna in Nightfall have the best system.
When you unlock one of the regions, you can unlock ALL outposts in there, but you can't advance to the next region until you you advance in the plot, since the outpost don't turn into Mission outpost until you advance with the plot.
It should have been like that for the whole game.

We already have tomes, it's there for a reason.
If you dont have skill unlock, either buy the skill packs or pvp for balth points.
You can get all the outpost in a day.

There is no way that anyone can tell me that the OP is being serious. Clearing he is trolling around for people to give him negative responses.

There is a point after which being able to purchase content becomes ridiculous. This idea crosses that line.

Are unlocked skills unlocked account wide? That is, if I unlock skill X on toon #1, if I get a tome on toon #2 can I get that same skill or do I have to also unlock it for the new toon?

Sorry, dude. This isn't a single player game that caters to your playstyle via cheat codes. This is a multiplayer game that you have to bend to its style.

Normally I try to offer constructive criticism, but this idea is pretty much a bad idea all around.

This isn't really the Q&A forum, but...Unlocked skills are unlocked account wide. Get it once, you have it available via tome on any character on that account.

I knew it wasn't the right forum but I asked because I thought that's the thing maybe OP didn't realize. With a tome, it's trivial to get skills on new toons once they've been unlocked on an old toon. I was thinking maybe the suggestion was from a perspective of not wanting to have to play through content repeatedly to get to skill trainers on new toons.

Maybe OP wasn't aware you could just use tomes to get those skills on new toons. Of course, if the idea is to NEVER have to play through an area to get a skill, then /notsigned. I quite enjoyed getting to Ferndale to cap SoS personally. That's kind of the point...to play the game.

The thing that I'm more upset about than the OP's laziness is his REASON for wanting this: he doesn't want to play the game, he just wants to farm. I mean, his post ended with "FOWSC here i come".

*sigh*

Anyway, now that I've gotten all my reflexive rage out of my system, gj troll.

You are all missing the point, i am mostly talking about pve only skills like asuran spells or norn shouts ect.

You cant get those from skill tomes. And i just want to do the quests to get them, not travel all the way to the quest giver by doing 10 missions to get there (to a quest giver) .

For example for the skill "mindblock" I needs to get to an outpost in order to get that skill. I have that outpost on my monk but not on my assassin. And tomes dont help with mindbender or other asuran, norn, vabbian ect skills.

Thats still a lazy option. If you dont have the patience to get a few easily obtainable skills by running your char to that outpost to even set up the build you want... then you really shouldnt try to go to join any SC teams in the first place as they only want people with enough patience, dedication and skill to actually do the run in the first place. Hence the very flawed and dumb request of show your stones.

And you're missing the point of all the down sides to what you're requesting.

I'm assuming you mean MENTAL Block? It requires a quest. In an outpost that's not hard to get to.

It's not hard to get through the campaigns, especially if you've done them before on other chars. I think you'll also find that most faction titles are character specific apart from Luxon/Kurzick so glhf.

Still /notsigned.

Some of the PvE skill quests even require you have completed the Primary Quest line for that race (in the case of EotN) before you can do the quest anyway. So even if you made it to the outpost you wouldn't be able to pickup the quest to get the skill as you won't have done the pre-requiset quests.

The time it has taken to post this thread and gather responses you probably could've got skills by now.

While we are here, let's ask to sell reputations titles in the in-game store...

I'm lazy, but not lazy enough to prefer paying to get outposts...especially in EotN where it doesn't take you that much time to get them all.

And since PvE skills depends on you reputation rank, you might as well do those 10 missions...

I don't understand the problem; an EoTN tour from Gunnars tends to cost 2-4k, if at all. If you're that strapped for cash, buy gold from a website, no need for the devs to spend time on this.

I thought I woke up from my post-thanksgiving coma, but maybe I'm still asleep and this isn't real?

Don't buy a video game if you want to skip content so you can get to the "good stuff" with minimal or no effort! I don't care if you have already played through it on 5 different characters, this is a horrible idea. You are either really RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing lazy or a troll. Nobody should ever encourage a company to put crap like this in their online store.

What's next? Wanting the option to purchase a $25/mo get-away-with-botting pass so your computer can farm for you without the risk of getting Dhuum'd?

PvE skills are quest rewards. Stop QQing and start pewpewing!
