So whats changed since ive last played?

nooblet

I havent played since i think november and im wondering whats changed, i noticed that theres a bunch of new maps but what else has changed? Is the character customization gunna be the same as it was at release? or have they added more versatility to it. Did they also fix that cheap trick you could do with a necro to make lots of quick cash?

Well I didn't play in the November BWE, But I do know that the UI has changed, they added a new chat option that allows you to filter the chats they have a trade channel,emotes channel, guild channel, team channel, whisper, and your regular chat channel. They added new Henchmen,,,A brawler, mesmer, and necro. That all I can really think of right now, I'll post some more if I can think of em.

Ok thanks. btw do you know what the level cap is gunna be at release?

Dookz

the level cap will be 20. But that shouldnt worry you because you keep 'growing' beyond level 20. You simply dont get any stronger (ie. more healthpoints), but rather you gain more experience pts and skillpoints to widen your knowledge of skills.

There has been a significant change in character creation and customization. Faces in most professions have been removed, and new faces have been introduced. You will also notice more options for hair color, hairstyles and armors which have been modified also. The 'looks' of the character creation process is different. During the last two BWE, you were able to unlock all the skills if you created a PvP character, but its not limited to a pvp char. All skills as of now are linked to your account. If you learned a particular skill from a given profession, your other character will have access to that skill if it was the same profession. Refund points have increased from 10 to 24. Certain skills were modified, renamed or removed. Ragdolls, vaults, new arenas and additional backpacks have been added.

I'm pretty sure there were more changes since November BWE, but those are the only ones I can think off atm.

Edited: Skill Charms, Charm crafters, and Exotic vendors had been eradicated with the introduction of'Unlocking of Skill' which is tied to your account rather than individual character.
