ArenaNet already created skill point sinks in the form of EotN consumables and uses of the Legionnaire Summoning Crystal.

Also, you'd primarily be rewarding botters, as characters used for botting end up with far more skill points than regular players could ever come near acquiring. So whatever you reward regular players with you'd be rewarding botters with a whole lot more.

I think a lot of people do, actually.

For me, it's the acknowledgement of being a part of the community for such a long time and the hopes to see more. As I stated earlier, I'm just as happy with them finishing up the loose ends of any storylines (Evennia) and skill fixes instead of minis and whatnot.

Although I won't complain if things like that are given out and I imagine it's a lot easier to shrink an existing model for a gift then it would be to build another story to play through.

Hopes are high, expectations are low... I think that'll save me from any potential disappointment.

account bound like the legonnaire...would do


and yeah, we DO expect stuff. The game is still playable as well as STILL offering rewards in the other game, so yeah, we expect there to be stuff here as well.

I would far prefer skill changes over items, personally.

people worry about botters to get rewards with skill points? so we, the players, shouldnt get stuff like that cuz of botters.... yea thats a nice thought (this is purely sarcasm)
whats next? lets remove all the farm areas cuz bots farm them, or lets remove pvp cuz.... you get the idea
remove the envoy weapons then, too

and yes, cosy is right, the game is still going very well
and funny is, that people dont mind the consets being bought with skill points, yet something new shouldnt be added cuz of some dumb bots

people who use bots, will do anyway, be it with or without new ways of spending skill points

cosy also is right about untradeable account bound stuff, which makes it more fun, especially stuff we can always use

2 hours to go, i think

You get 1 proof per character (for a single mission). It doesn't matter if you do NM or HM you'll get 1 either way.

You can trade 1 Proof of Legend to Palora, Sworn To Earth, to unlock the Anniversary Panel.

Edit: Nvm, you dont even trade it, just show it to her.

Careful with which of your characters you trade those greens because they are automatically customized! My necromancer just got some fiery daggers now for his zenmai *sigh*

Hmm so my plan was to spam Augury Rock mission to get Proofs but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not getting Proofs for subsequent mission completion. Is it limited to 1/mission?

Yes 1/mission per char, so you can make illimited new chars in the campaign you want if you want to

So looking at the pic on page 4 there's grey proofs and black ones. I've only seen the grey ones so far. Are the black ones from something else?

Any mission will give you 1 Proof of Legends, only 1 time per charracter per mission you cannot repeat the same mission to reaquire.

The easiest thing by far is make a Nightfall Charracter, do the first mission, drop the Proof of Legends in storage, delete char > RINSE REPEAT.

Also upon just showing one Proof of Legends @ Palora-Sworn of Earth, grants you ONE FREE STORAGE PANE!


New Hype : At the anniversary date MAYBE a miniature & costume/headgear will be handed out aswell, so make sure you have plenty of ANY proofs!!

It seems you can't get the extra storage pane if you already have the Anniversary Pane from earlier. Palora only gave me a Blessing of War (Balth wep token) for showing her the Proof.

Also do you have to win in HA to get the black one? And what does it trade for?

It's not one Proof per character per mission, but per region.
So 20 proofs per character.

Some Balthazar weapons seem to be bugged at the moment and won't accept any weapon mods to be added (inscriptions work fine). Tested with a shield myself and other players confirmed that the focus and wand do not work either. Hoping for quick fix...

so you can pick up that anniversary storage pane, then get a weapon.

I suggest if you have a desire for a certain weapon on a certain character that you put the proofs into storage and then hop onto that character as you can put them into storage (tried it out just to be sure). That way you wont wind up with some really nice daggers for anton or a new shiny sword for koss
