    I love this change! :D I usually wear fashion gear though, mainly because of the large cost of transmuting armor. Now I will probably wear armor on at least some of my characters. :D Thanks so much for this!

    As you can see from all the posts in the patch notes, we are pleased.

    I am also glad to see the change will be made for our XBox brethren ASAP.

    Yes, a much welcome change.

    However if you guys want to fix AD/economy in this game, it is those botters that you guy have to really pay attention. Yesterday at around 11:00 PM PST in PE lfg channel, I see more spam on these botters selling AD than actual people looking for group unless of course you guys do allow them to do that. In all my MMO game life, I have never seen a game that blatantly let botters run wild at certain maps anytime in the game.

    Love the new cost of transmutation B)B)B)

    PS those botters are ridiculous.... even if i spam-report them, like 20 of them with an invocation run (all 11 toons), they are just back there for the next invo run. And of course the message is all the same. they should be banning their IP's

    "beckylunatic" Gateway AH should have column headers to sort by buyout, bid, end time, quantity, etc. These disappeared iirc with the module launch. It's obnoxious.

    This news is so awesome that it will be my first post...even though I've been playing for over 2 years :)
    The only thing that would make this more awesome is if there are plans to release new outfits!
    sorry, i know that's a bit greedy considering how awesome this new is :)
  • ricklaruericklarue Member Posts: 1 Arc User
    Great news, but the timing is less than desirable... i.e., the day _after_ I spent 35k AD on a transmute. :(
  • anantadielanantadiel Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 7 Arc User
    Yes it's a good thing, but transmute items if we can't hide the armor enchant...

    Finally it's useless to transmute : because of the armor's enchant, we can't appreciate it.
  • freshourfreshour Member Posts: 623 Arc User
    hahaha - I think I added up 6 months ago that I've spent over 2 million AD on transmutes on my GF alone. Transmutes are the way to go especially since all of the new gear looks so bad. If only those bound to character items with the old t1/t2 gear could be made UNBOUND but as a transmute only..... THAT would be a game changer... The AH would blooooowwwww up over that stuff.

    Oh you have an old warlock item that looks insanely awesome? Transmute x item to it for 5k. You can now transfer to your account or sell the transmute..... holy freaking HAMSTER that would be amazing. I think I spent like 850k for an old draconic shield that isn't in the game anymore..... what I would do to save that transmute.... WHAT I WOULD DO.

    But still - something that shoulda been done years ago, that will start to add up on the "good changes the new devs have done". In regards to the changing the cube of augmentation price. I bet this is one thing they won't budge on. Probably will show up in the tradebar store soon though. Lord knows we always unlock the thing that we want last, and spend 4-500k getting to it lol.

    MOUNT TRAINING pretty starry panthers and jubilee parade horses are getting sacrificed to the gods of full bags because they are worthless to a lvl 70 main character or heavily played alt... they are fine for inactive characters but just a waste when you need to keep up with the pack in endgame ....... wod dragon run comes to mind
    devs ... cant figure out how much mount training should be??? look at current economy and the cost of the cheapest epic mounts on the ah ... then go a bit above that for the total cost of rank 1 to rank 3 ... why would anyone buy an uncommon or rare accountwide.... when the cost leaves them stuck at that speed..there is one uncommon and one rare mount i would buy from zen if upgrade was realistic...as it is i have bought NO account wide mount because i dont care for most of them
    and the one i really like is rare thus too slow and too expensive ad wise to upgrade on every toon so zen market... NO SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • hyst3ricpon3shyst3ricpon3s Member Posts: 4 Arc User
    Now all we need is cross-class transmutes and HR being fixed. Cause being a half-assed Control Wizard isn't good for it.

    Needs more typical sustained DPS with like 2-3 control skills to pick from with long-ish cooldowns.

    Best change so far tho.

    While you are at it... Can you turn on the PTR plz.... I'd love to try out some of these new toys.

    I will gladly transmute all my armor parts 10 times and spend 200K at it, that price for a single transmute of all armor parts was obscene.

    Thank you Arc games for breathing some sense over NW economy.

    Nice and unexpected change.

    Thank you

    This is awesome news and i am sure tons of ppl will be transmuting like crazy now....but some of us saved and horded items and ad just to have the look we wanted.

    i just spent about 500k ad this last weekend to perfect all 3 of my toons just to have this amazing thing happen AFTER I WAS DONE...
    now can we get cross class transmutes next and new items or bring back the old t1/t2 gears as transmutes only.

    Thanks again for the ad sink reductions and keep them coming...
    come on mount training my sled wants an upgrade

    Ok... only after waiting so long for more "AD Changes", i was really hoping to see much more concrete improvements by now.

    What about the AD costs for boons?
    What about the AD costs for upgrading companions?
    What about a reasonable AD path to upgrade the speed of a mount?
    ... and so on.
    I do believe in killing the messenger...
    Want to know why?
    Because it sends a message!
