My 2c: 1. It'd be much easier I think for people to give this CM or any group content a shot if Anet added queueing system like FF14 (group maker). It's hard to find a group, it'd be nice to be able to queue for a group. Imho a row of checkboxes where you'd check 'healer', 'alac', 'quickness' would suffice => then you could auto group people once you got 2 healer check boxes and 2 alac and 2 quickness. Wouldn't even matter if most groups fail, I just don't wanna sit around there waiting for something to show up in lfg 🤷‍♀️ And no I don't want to start one of my own, a tag carries too many expectations. 2. Another thing I find that makes CM more of a 'burden' is => it seems some classes will have SUCH an easier time + carry potential compared to others, it's not even funny. So you kinda want to keep a scourge or a condi virtuoso in your pocket, and I'm just not in that place anymore where I have all 9 classes kitted out with latest builds and ready to go, keeping up with each balance patch. So yeah this does feel a bit like much for a wizard's vault! I mean I don't have to do it, that's true, so I"ll just go with that. 😀 But yeah trying it and failing makes me sad. Esp with playing a melee aheal and having to run in and out in and out so much bahahah. Stressful.

This is on NA! Guild: Bad Aces [BADA] Expected Team: Thornwatch Assigned Team: Stonefall Account Name: Gimli.9461 Server: Crystal Desert

Rewards: Fishing Rod Skin Selection box (first tier), Skiff Skin Selection Box (second tier). If Skiff Skin is too much to give away, could potentially split that by giving a token, such that when two are combined you can select a Skiff Skin? Or you could get black lion statuettes along the way which you could use to purchase Skiff Skin? But then it starts feeling like the black lion event a bit reward wise 😄 Structure: So I'm sure Anet will do this better, but I'm thinking it could be structured like so, and then automated forevermore: - Tier 1: Select a random set of 10 collections from Avid Fisher collections (I think currently there are 15 total, but if in future more appear). Completing all 10 of these would award you fishing rod skin selection box. ALong the way you could get some sushi as reward or some Zephyrite Jerky or some Ambergris - Tier 2 (Locked until Tier 1 is complete): Then Select a random set of 15 collections from Avid Fisher COllections. Similar reward structure except you get a Skiff Skin selection box at the end. Could be a one week Bonus event for Tier 1 only. Two weeks for Tier 1 and Tier 2. Could run once per year or twice per year. Edit: I'd just like to clarify, Tier 1 and Tier 2 sets of 10 and 15 respectively are preselected and fixed (so people have to complete those 2 lists precisely, vs people being able to pick 15 Avid Fisher on the same map).

My feedback on trying Engineer short bow in beta: pls keep in mind I am not into build crafting, so this is purely how the combat felt: - I LOVE these fields and that you can explode them on top of each other or separately. I love their colors, very dense/rich 😄 I love the Sound! - BIGGER fields: please make these bigger they are too small 😄 - Strange that nothing happens on first placing of arrow for the 2-5 skills. It'd be nice if something happened, at least a slight kinda graze on the mob if you place it on the mob? 😄 Overall I really like this! It feels very Engineer appropriate and quite unique with the canisters. My biggest ask is make the fields bigger, basically 🙂 Not much else I have to say 😄

Hello! My feedback after trying pistol on Elementalist, keep in mind pls I am not into build crafting so it's purely focused on how good the combat felt: - SOUNDS: was very excited for elementalist pistol! I quickly realized that I expected the SOUND for pistol on elementalist to not just be the pistol regular boom bam shot. I wonder if you considered making the sound more magicky, eg HOPE sounds comes to mind; or add magical undertones/flavor to the shot? Thinking on this further, maybe bullets when they exist could also have a corresponding sound, to help be aware they exist - More Oomph pls: the only skill that gave me happy juice was water 3! that field is nice! so huge and icy 🙂 The 4 bullets collected shot needs a lot of OOMPH added, and also the dash on air feels suuuper durpy - it's very short? and clunky to use. Eg it took me ages to realize I need to press the skill again after dashing to shoot, then i gotta dash again? I feel like dash + shoot must be combined, and maybe make the dash longer and copy an existing good dash animation? - What did work: The bit that did land for me was how 'complex' the weaver variant fell - it felt in-line with what Weaver is overall. I like the idea of Elementalist remaining the big-brain class that's hard to comprehend with this new weapon addition. 😄 Also, I am not sure if I just saw this on Laranity stream, or also experienced it without realizing what was going on until I saw it on stream: - It appears that some skills have a CAST time, HOWEVER the character is executing no animations or very hard to see animations/very still ones during that cast time. That must never happen! As I engage with combat it is very strange to be looking at my screen and character seemingly doing nothing - I think nothing's happening and the skill is broken (because my eyes aren't glued to some cast bar). If this is in fact is the case for some skills, I'd fix it with ensuring proper animations are aligned with the cast bar, which I think is the case for all existing combat currently. So overall I'd love more sound flavor/polish, and more engaging animations/awesome feels 😄 I think GW2's strongest point is how enjoyable its combat is second to second, would hate to lose that.

Is this a joke? Maybe! But maybe not! 🤔 Idea: A new race for a mini expansion. Lizard Charr. Think - charr body, but Skyrim Argonian skin/scales/hair/head shapes/knobs. Pros: - Unlike Tengu, does not require a new 'skeleton' (sorry, I know nothing about animation 😄) . Since we already have charr, the idea is to remove fur, make the skin scaly, and add 'knobs' and customizable head features, think Argonian in elder scrolls. All armor that fits Charr should still conceivably fit this race. Animations do not change. Tail would become unchanged, just hairless. - Color palette for the skin could be almost as rich as Sylvari's ; primary and secondary scales colors. Possible origin in lore: - Deep underground there are huge cities and locations we never explored, where various races could live having adapted; think Largos, Krait (in water spaces). Krait and Largos btw also could have their skin color different from those above ground due to temperatures being hotter. Charr made their way underground a very long time ago, and have adapted into Lizard Charr. 😄 Commander: - We have a new location - DND Underground style. Lizard Charr have Houses, like Largos. Your lvl 1 Lizard Charr has to have a new personal story lvl 1-30 (until you get sent to Lion's Arch). The TLDR of the story can be that you straight up get exhiled, or decide to leave. Unclear though how Orders would even hear about you? So maybe the story 20-30 has nothing to do with the orders, and then you 'apply' to one once you are banished above ground. Or somehow you run into Rytlock, befriend him, and he sends you off onto 20-30 Order story line. Misc: When you as Lizard Charr initiate dialogue with: - Charr, they often will say: "By Khan-Ur, you're ugly", or "What's cooking, scale egg?" - Sylvari: "I've never seen a creature like you before. What are you?" - Human: "AAAAAAAA! (runs away)"

a big ++ to people saying pls announce legendary relic and for the love of god legendary aquabreather already? but that's after the relic my main concern is i was full legendary and now i'm not, and i have this relic thing i have to slot exotics into - why the heck would i ever do that? i'll leave it empty until you give me a legendary, not too chuffed about dps loss or whatever honestly surprised by how little thought (seemingly from the announcements) was put into this; usually Anet are very on the ball with thinking through how their changes affect existing legendary owners/edge cases/etc

++ What? I have full set of 7 legendary runes. If you are removing 1 functionality from them, either: a) refund me proportionate cost b) Give me the legendary Relic At least put Legendary Relic into game and announce it? I see no mention on it.

I gotta say the first two gemstore fishing rod skins did not tickle my fancy - of course very subjective! Idea: CUTE BOBBLES I actually now realize it'd be super cool if you could customize the bobble alone, and then sell bobble skins on the gemstore for 200-300 gems, and also have craftable ones. But that is not to be, in all likelihood. So we are stuck with full fishing rod skins. That's ok. I would please like to see: A duckling bobble fishing rod, like in animal crossing. ❤️ Why stop at duck, lets do little kitten heads and dog heads and fish heads and frog heads and panda heads and crocodile heads, and all sorts of heads? What's your ideal fishing rod skin? ❤️ I think for me it's the simple rod with a cute bobble 😄 4 dye channel on the bobble mmm? Or at least 2. 3. Duckling oh yes.

Tried this meta again after a 2 week break or so (because it's literally making me not want to play, which is quite an achievement! since this has been my fav/main game last 10 y) She just keeps moving. Over and over. 0 reason. Didn't fail CC or anything. She just does tsunami, moves, then does tsunami, moves, 4 times in a row. It does NOT feel good to lose at 4% because you spent half the time running back and forth across the platform. This in fact felt worse than 2 weeks ago. I thought they fixed this? Guess time for a month break from this meta again. Hope it gets fixed. I don't mind losing because of actually not dealing enough dmg etc etc, but this running back and forth is straight up i-d-i-o-t-i-c.

Yeah I actually think my jade sliver recycler isn't working. I've had 3 slivers for over 24h now and I do get junk and I sell it to vendor, but no slivers. Oh well 😄

Seeing consistent issue on Aetherblade (T4) fractal where at lasers or at bomb field everything stops loading. Have to restart the game. Most of the UI/graphics disappears, cannot even see text I type etc/menu. Saw this week of Oct 5. Also saw this issue today (Oct 9) on Mai Trin T4 fractal during the Mai Trin fight (closer to 25%) Restarting fixed issue one time, other time didn't (stuff disappeared again) so had to check off Directx11 Windows 10/Ryzen 5600/Nvidia 3060/16Gb RAM

I think the drop to 30 fps you see might be the issue I have. My understanding is it's what happens if you turn Vertical Sync on: once it drops slightly below 60fps, eg 55, it'll force you to the next 'checkpoint' which is 30, even though it can pull say 45. I have Vertical Sync OFF, and this is still happening when I opted into Directx 11. I'm not sure if it happens if I opt out - maybe it is a gamewide bug that got introduced, or just Directx 11. I'd like to see my 45fps back pls! I have: - Windows 10 - Nvidia 3060 So far for me Direct11 has been amazing. Lower GPU utilization, higher framerates. I play in 4k. The only problem I have is this bug: it pulls fps by force to 30 around events, in expansion maps, which causes constant jump back and forth from 60 to 30 to 60 to 30. That jump is like walking thru jello suddenly, very bad. Eg in HoT it seems to happen on mob animations/my fighting animations maybe. Another issue I saw was in Aetherblade Fractal. After the laser room stuff just stopped loading. Not even game UI. So i quit/restarted - it fixed the issue. I did not disable DIrectx11.

Please Rurik's Cape, pleaaase 🥺

So happy to hear you love the team you work with. We have a similar incident management process at work, and agreed the culture plays a huge role. At the end it should never be about finding someone to blame, it's about learning how to prevent this issue from happening the future. People make mistakes, programs and processes help us catch them early! 😄 Is great to read a bit about your setup, makes one feel closer to the team. GW2 is absolutely amazing with its uptime, keep up the amazing work! 🥰You rock
