Isn't your suggestion for auto-selling scrap the same as clicking on the "Sell Junk" button on a merchant? correctly. its the tiny things that addons should improve.Like adding the option that blu&white things auto-salvage.This also exists, right click on salvage tool.if you feel something is lacking, you can suggest it in forum (QOL) and they might look at it and officially add it to game, well "may be"

Well, thank you for your suggestion, I knew my messages would merge to that thread eventually and get berried in 40 pages of suggestion which some of them are 3 years old. I wanted to get some exposure from players before that.

and here is another QOL which I posted separately [QOL] Black Lion Trading Post UI

To make my case I have following two screenshots. Sometimes: You are opening the TP to find a range of items. For example, you are looking for cooking recipes to learn, You are looking for dyes that you don't have yet and are in your price range.But currently it is not an easy task to do. You'll notice that you will immediately hit the maximum result limit (screenshots). To make this easier, please add another checkbox in the filter box to allow Show only Usable which will only show: Recipes that you can learn (regardless of profession) on your account.Dyes that you don't have yetHome instance nodes that you still don't haveMinis that you don't have yetSkins that you don't have yetCrafting material that a cook, artificer or huntsman can use.And while at itPlease fix item categories. There are items that you see when no category is selected but if a category selected even correct one, they will not show anymore. For example search for node and contract. They will show when no category is selected but if they are not listed under any category.For another example, search for Lyssa, Recipe: Chaos of Lyssa will show in when no category is selected, but selecting Crafting material it doesn't show anymore, and if you select sub category Recipes under Crafting material it will show again.Another example is Cleric's Sneakthief Shoulderguards of Lyssa will not show if Armor category or even shoulder category selected but it will show with no category selected.

I have a suggestion for LFG UI but since it was a little big and might need discussion, I posted it separately but here is the link [QOL] Changes for Looking for group UI

This discussion has been merged.

Currently looking for group UI has 18 categories and 58 sub category, however at the moment I'm writing this there are only 8 groups are listed. This is turning this useful tool to a less usable and tedious to find a party to join, especially when clicking on each subcategory hits the server to refresh the list and sometimes if player click on groups a little fast, a queue of queries will build up and a loading icon randomly shown with lists showing as empty even if there are actually groups in them. Most of the time when I open this tool, I'm either bored to death or have some time to waste and looking for something to do and need suggestions. This doesn't mean I want to click 76 times to see if something going on. To make LFG more usable, I suggest following changes to this UI. Move the picture that currently showing on mouse over, in the group listing itself, then remove subgroups. This will allow showing more groups in a listing and removes additional hitting server for getting a list. Optionally allow users to choose a custom icon from a limited list of icons to explain their group easier. For example an icon for bounty will make more sense than a generic commander icon. Change group description to 3 lines to allow more explanatory group description which will behave differently based on which group is selected (explained later)First line is description of group. Second line shows an icon which tells players, this is a party, squad or raid/dungeon group and how long ago it is listed. Having time is important so users can tell if the event is completed, ongoing or a careless leader forgot to remove the listing after finishing event. For example a Meta listing that is listed about 2 hours ago, most probably is a forgotten group.In 3rd line players can include their own comment for additional requirement, which will appear after language icon and party icons in special cases.Depending on the selected group Description can be entered by player or only selected from drop down. For example in raid or dungeon group, description is selected from drop down (e.g. Ruined City of Arah) which will also automatically select a picture for group but in a "Central Tyria" Group, players can enter their description and choose an icon. Reduce the main groups to a few major groups. Festival group can be removed since there are times that no festival is active. And since all the festivals that I can remember are happening in central Tyria, they can be listed there. During festivals people barely do other events anyway. WvW and PvP groups can be merged. Icons will show what type they are. Raid, Dungeons, Fractal and Strike Mission groups can be merged too.Achievement can be merged to their original area of living world Tyria, S2,S3, S4, HoT or PoF. Isolating this group will give it less exposure.Mentoring group is really redundant and should be removed, if there is mentoring going on, it also can be listed in other groups. Notes: For PVP,WvW and Raid,Dungon, ... groups, title can only be selected from drop down and picture will be selected automatically but players can enter their comment in 3rd line.For other group types, players can select picture and title and also enter their comment in 3rd line. 2nd line, For party size groups (5), will show icon of players currently in group. For squad it will show icon of commander and for mentor group will show the mentor icon.With above changes groups will be reduced to 10 and I will happily click on all 10 of them to see what's up and join.

Come on, I experience lag with only 3~5 player in the map here is the link (few days ago)

I believe Hop 7 is the dns server which is normally don't respond to pings It is not an spike. it is complete loss of connection most of the time. And this is not the issue with jakal mount that if I jump through multiple ports, I get disconnected (normally second one) I'm not sure how pingplotter can help that ping cannot do, but here you go. again have to mention, 300~500ms latency for me which connecting from SEA is considered playable. but not anything above 500ms and I don't remember having any latency below 300.

I'm not sure how pingplotter can help that ping cannot do, but here you go. again have to mention, 300~500ms latency for me which connecting from SEA is considered playable. but not anything above 500ms and I don't remember having any latency below 300.

if out of a 20, 30, 40, 50 men squad, 20, 30, 40, 50 suffer from lag, it isn't the players issue. It is the companies issue. If more then 25% of the playerbase would experience l structural lag (and you are talking about 100%), this forum, the gw2 reddit and many other places would be filled with complaints.What is possible that the squad experienced a moment of lag while one or two members experience it on a structural base. That is why the answer given by @Inculpatus cedo.9234 is a good one. It will pinpoint the issue to where it actually is. There is a known issue with Telia, so if pingplotter shows any steps by them as the issue, there are also solutions.Forums, reddit and other places ARE actually full of complains, but people get tired of complaining and give up and go play other games hoping when they come back it is fixed. I have this issue since before Christmas and keep reporting it, then it fixes for few hours and it is same all over again. What I don't understand is when this message is shown, why launcher deleting my password?!!!

As I mentioned in my second post. having ping between 200 to 500 is usual in SEA area. Also Telia is just one more hop to Amazon server. and as you can see from pings, amazon ping (hope 25,26) is still in acceptable range for me. Also I'm not on copper, coaxial or wireless. I'm on fiber connected to a gigabit lan router and with cat6 cable to gigabit card on my computer.

False alarm, still same issue. still latency spikes over the roof

Thanks for reply. ping latency of between 200 to 500 is usual for me and I don't have any issue over there. I have lost hope to have anything less than that long ago. Following picture is from this morning that I can login and play without issue. As you can see current ping is 260. that may be too much for players who used to play in pings like 10ms but for me it is enough. Since I can play now, I can come to conclusion that 1 support fixed the issue and second I don't need to include a ping screenshot, just including IP would be enough. Just a side note, I have few servers of my own that act like this once in a while, and our solution was to schedule restart every week. Last time we see such issues (disconnect, unable to connect, latency) was over a year ago. Since anet using windows servers too. I suggest disabling auto update on them and do it manually when they have tested the update in their test environment first. Microsoft has a great reputation on sending updates that breaks the production servers.

This keep happening since Christmas patch (winter something events).At first it was just TP that wouldn't open andThen using jackal become impossible andthen since Lunar thingy event I can't even do anything in game.latency keep jumping between 350 to 3000 and sometimes even to 8000. I'm sure there is no issue in my computer and my connection until amazon servers. whatever issue it is, happening inside amazon servers which I can't even trace.Support tickets are no use either, 3 support request (2 in game) and one via web and none of them was responded or reported issues fixed. I'm not trying to give constructive feedback or suggestion. I need a fix so I can play the game that I paid for it. 1- First image is my firewall list of connections between game and server.2- other 3 are trace route of those connections. as you can see I have minimal latency between my computer and amazon servers. and after that all I get is timeout (some because that specific IP is blocking ping, but at least the last hop should be reachable. either anet locked ping on their server or I cannot reach them. either way I cannot help more than this. this is all the information I have for you.

Thanks for suggestion, I'm a senior software manager with 27 years of programming, support and troubleshooting connections. It has nothing to do with my GW2 cache.In fact I set it inside the temp folder which is completely deleted every night when I shutdown the computer.

Thanks for the link, would you please point me to place where it says how to unlock it? none of the items under "Getting there" section are available to me. Seems to me that I have to do all LS4 stories and boring PoF stories to be able to unlock it

I confirm it is still the same as before. Nothing changed and I still cannot earn XP or shards. I just completed a bounty for cockroach mount and didn't get XP.Same as before, I can earn XP in Tyria and Jungle but not in PoF. obviously I have active mastery in TIS which XP is redirected to masteries as before. Link to larger image

Venta Pass doesn't have portal either, I checked that one before checking the one in here

So I had a happy life and login for few hours a week and play around and go here and there, then I noticed my XP bar doesn't gain anything in Path of Fire maps!I remember a while back that was a thing in Thorn Jungle of something (Yea, that is how much I care about lore of the game, sorry!), and people complained so much that Anet give up and removed raid requirement for raid to gain XP and obviously shards. So I thought that is the thing again, and opened the Masteries window and guess what, Roller Beetle mount is locked! and No way to open it or ignore it. Link So what should I do? first spent hours in Wiki reading through things that I have no idea what they mean to find how to unlock it. and finally found it, not in wiki in a reddit post from someone else who had similar issue. Told myself, even though I hate those KITTEN personal stories, lets do this one and unlock that thing so I can gain XP again. I'm not sure what goes in brain of developers of anet. Is it so hard to design a system that doesn't need locking the XP bar? a simple one would be when player selected a mastery, assign XP to that one, if they didn't just give them XP bar and shards. You might say someone might forget to select a mastery to train, don't we have those Kitten messages that suddenly pop up on screen when you touch something that you shouldn't have? can't you show one of those when training mastery is complete or player have available mastery to train but they have not selected one? In another story, since there are 7 million people are playing the game right now, I was looking through looking for group to find a group in PoF maps to join, noticed that everyone ins in dragonfall. OK lets go there ... Em! a personal story again! Lets do it until I reach there. and I managed to get in. Cool now lets follow squad and do some events. Wait what? they can go there with skyscale and there is no other way to reach that champion up there? What the KITTEN?! ok how do you get that? Story again? KITTEN it, even though I KITTEN it, lets do it. after 16 times circling around the island to collect something that dev thought would be "so much fun" managed to complete it, now have to wait 2 hours for the mail to arrive. After whole weekend gathering stuff and doing Stupid stories and then waiting 2 hours to get that mail (Why?) I go to map that supposed to be sun's refuge! and guess what again? There is no portal there! Link Look in Wiki and it says just go through portal! which portal? there is nothing in there! Asked in map and someone told me have to finish personal stories before I can access that KITTEN area to be able to continue collecting stuff for skyscale and then "ha ha ha, goodluck ..., see you in a month ... ". I don't have slightest interest in doing stories, I want to gain XP, collect shards and also get gold from doing events, so I can buy my ascended armor and all of this because rest of the maps in game are so nerfed that if you go anywhere other than PoF maps you gain copper for events. What happend to the idea of play however you like, whenever you like? I have no interest in personal stories and haven't finished any of them and now I'm forced to do those stories which I don't even know how many there are to be able to do my normal things in game which doesn't involve doing raids, instances, fractals, etc. I'm all happy but Nope!

Jyden, Please read my response 2 message above you, I have tried with [black Lion Salvage Kit] too, I didn't know in game bad luck is attached to person but not to drop rate set in game! I also tried it in Silverwastes with 419% luck. Stardust dropped two ecto but no dark mater. 2 piece of exotic chest armor both level 80 both drop from central tyria also didn't drop anything other than Mithril ore I'm sure you already know, you cannot bulk salvage exotic, and because I was testing it, I made sure to deposit material before each salvage.

I believe you have misunderstood. I salvaged rare and exotic separately and stored material before salvaging other one. last 7 items were salvaged while I was noticing the items dropped, just for testing.Ecto drop was from rare, I had one ecto for about 20 exotic.Items were not skinned, purchased from TP or crafted.Bad luck is just an excuse. I tried it in two account and 3 characters.Wiki doesn't specify there is a difference between sources of the exotic. I know there are some exotic that can't be salvaged which I still wonder why would someone make so many exception in a game but none was my case.I asked about it in game chat, someone else too, told me that's bad luck and he tried himself just to get one Mithril ore.have you tried salvaging exotic recently? like after last update?Are you using [Master's Salvage Kit] or [silver-Fed Salvage-o-Matic] to salvage?Are you suggesting any specific armor piece that you recently salvaged and get dark mater, so I try the same one?For the sake of complete test I salvaged [Tahlkora's Coat] with [black Lion Salvage Kit] and got [superior Rune of Mercy] and 3 clothes but still no ecto or dark mater

Wiki says: Salvaging high level exotic gear yields between 0 and 3 Globs of Dark Mater. Using a Master's Salvage Kit, the estimated average is ~0.5 globs per exotic for exotic gear level 68 or better I had a few exotic pieces in my inventory that I didn't need anymore so I decided to salvage them to get dark mater, I used both [Master's Salvage Kit] and [silver-Fed Salvage-o-Matic] to salvage but both only dropped [Mithril Ore] and a few [Orichalcum Ore] and "one Ecto" for fun of it. I salvaged 20 pieces of rare gear and get 25 ecto from it. All Pieces that I salvaged are level 80 as below:[Koss' Chestguard][berserker's Scallywag Chest]3x Full Set Draconic gear My base luck is 204 and I had guild banner magic find, guild perk magic find on me too.I thought it might be my toon so changed it, no difference, changed account too and still no difference!What on earth is going on? if how dark mater is dropping is changed, how are we supposed to get those to make ascended gear?
