Yes, but why would only one be showing? Very odd. Edit: I feel a complete fool! That's exactly what the problem is! For some reason, I must have hit it by mistake, one of the swords was unchecked! Thank you so much for pointing this out. What a dunce I was for not checking that before posting this!

Hello. One my characters is using two of the lovely Crucible swords (Revenant). When I first got this character to level 80, about three or four months ago, he would run around with both swords clearly visible hanging one either side, just like any other sword. Recently, however, only one shows when the weapon is sheathed, though both appear as normal when unsheathed. This is the only sword that I have come across that behaves in this way. I tried changing my character's leggings in case it was something to do with that, but no, that makes no difference. Is this a bug? Edit: I tried giving another character two Crucibles and exactly the same gear as the first one and both swords showed when sheathed, so there must be a mysterious bug with the character itself and not the sword. Very odd.

Wow. Thank you so much for this. Really helpful in both a positive and negative way. My reason for choosing Well of Silence was more for the daze. I'm having so much fun with my Untamed just dazing and disabling foes and then bashing them to bits that I thought to try a similar approach with thief (probably unwise!). Chronomancer runes do rather make more sense. I notice the WvW build uses those. By the "negative" helpful I was of course referring to your "hidden" paragraph. I did pretty much have the same idea that it might be fun to be jumping all over the place, but then I can do that really effectively with my Daredevil so I might just stick with that. Anyway, thanks again for the really detailed reply. It was a nice idea but probably not that practical. As I said, Daredevil does more or less what I was trying to achieve (apart from the dazing) but so much better. One last thought..... what about condition specter but ditch the sceptre all together and use double daggers spamming Deathblossom? Ok.... Daredevil does it better once again.......

Hello. I am toying with a potentially crazy and / or useless idea. I am not a fan of sceptre on specter in general PVE situations and so had this thought for a power build using sword / pistol as it's main weapon set. I have seen that there is a sword / dagger build used in WvW but off hand pistol seems to work better in PVE. I am aware that this would be far from meta and that if I turned up for a raid group they would just all look at me like I was bonkers and then ignore me in the hopes I would just go away. Here is the build I propose: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PaABwqprlhySZrMPWLW2XnRXA-zRJYixfZEYqGRVp2BIMMAA-e What I am hoping from you lovely people is not "this is just crap" or even "if you're having fun with it then just play it - anything works in open world" but maybe some ideas to improve the idea and even make it work. Details like sigils, utilities and traits are, of course, negotiable. Any thoughts would be gratefully received.

You're right of course. I just seriously lack in confidence, hence the idea to solo if it's possible. I might give it a go and see what happens, or perhaps I'll pluck up the courage and ask around. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for these replies. I've heard that early fractals can quite easily be soloed, but in order to do this then I would have to start right at the beginning, right? It sounds stupid I know, but I'm rather shy about joining a formal group (hence why I haven't done fractals yet!).

Hello. I am looking to complete the Season 1 achievements (so I can I get Old Lion's Arch) but part of this involves doing certain fractals. I have never done one in my life (despite playing this game for a number of years) and so am a little puzzled by the whole system. Can I just clarify - it appears I have to start at the beginning with the first fractal and cannot jump to the ones I need to complete the achievements, is that right? I went to the panel inside the Fractal's Lobby and all options apart from the first were greyed out and could not be selected. So I have to do them all until I get to ones I want? Sorry if this sounds silly.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it serious thought.

Ah. Thank you so much. That's much clearer now.

Thanks for the replies folks. That all seems to make sense. Just one thing though - if I'm a one man guild, does that mean that all other players are enemies?

Hello. I am not a member of any guild (and have no real desire to join one) and am very much a "solo" player, though enjoy casual interactions with other players. I also don't play much WvW though once in blue moon I might pop in and it's always been nice to think that my, albeit tiny, contribution might be helping my server in some small way. How is it going to work once the changes are in place and it becomes a Guild v. Guild environment? Am I still going to be able to play there? Incidentally, it's also the only place my rangers can find a wolf pet should they desire one.

I posted this earlier on the Thief forum: I have just quickly tested the new thief skills in the aerodrome and found that I was not getting the promised might when traiting for "Even the Odds". I was using backstab which surely counts as a stealth skill? Is anyone else getting this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks. It's good to know I'm not going totally mad! I'll put this on the bug section.
