[The End; Salt on the Wound Achievement impossible ?]

Its not impossible but took me around ~10 tries. I recommend watching a video on it being done and mimic their strat. Switch targets quickly.They say doing in a group makes it easier, I did it solo though.

[I'm back from a hiatus and...]

Yea, in pvp modes mesmer isn't in a very good place right now. Pretty much every class counters it if they have any idea what they are doing.

Still have those bad players that think mesmer is OP because they can't find the real player among the clones, but hey at least we have some people we can kill lol

[Why Warrrior wouldnt need a damage buff .....]

Warriors are in a fairly good place in pvp compared to many other classes. There are just a few completely broken classes that make Warrior feel bad, but its generally in a good place.Not saying it doesn't need any tweeks, but its not needing anything extreme.

["Broken" trend must stop.]

Usually it is mesmer that gets a random nerf when its not even meta.They also have tendency to nerf some random class skill that wasn't used (on any class)

[Can we have a new way to get free Black Lion keys?]

@"Game of Bones.8975" said:Another reason to add an alternate way toward the keys is some areas are not able to purchase keys, due to it being "gambling."How is it not gambling, please elaborate.

Yep, this. It is a lootbox. (see the whole EU law making going on about it)

The good thing about GW2 is there is free ingame ways of getting them + gold to gem conversion which I use all the time. Stock up while they are on sale or pay alittle more gold for them at regular prices.

[Skimmer underwater speed is so disappointing - [Merged]]

The horizontal swim speed isn't as fast as I would like, but Diving or climbing is very fast.

[Should dps meters get banned?]

No, when you are playing hard content you don't want to be carrying someone. I have seen so many people doing 3-5k dps that thought they did so much more and had no idea.

[Pretty disappointed with the 8th Birthday Gift.]

People get free stuff and complain, happens every year.

[I coyote'd into a brick wall playing PoF Personal Story...]

@"emopausal.5362" said:This is the build from my Renegade who was failing in the personal story chapter:

[&DQkDLg86PwLcEQAAKxIAANQRAAAGEgAAyhEAAAAQAAArEtQRBhIAAAAAAAA=]

Main gear is orange (exotic?) self-crafted as are main and o/h and secondary weapons. Jewelry is a little weak (accessories) with only one ascended piece.

I am hoping that this game isn't like the old raiding days of WoW -- where you lived on Elitist Jerks trying to eek out +1 or +2 dps in order for the group to survive. I've moved past all that and prefer a play style that's more enjoyable to me. For example, in ESO, my mage toon is a lightening rod. I could mix/match abilities, but I like sparking things up. My engineer in GW2 uses dual wield pistols because Yippe-kai-yay, m--f---... a build you won't find as recommended on metabattle.

Point is: I'd expect, if I was doing w/e the raid-equivalent was in GW2 to support one of the maxed-out builds. For general open world play, I'd expect to play w/e build makes me smile. That being said, my expectations may be off b/c I consider Personal Story to be "open world" and not something requiring an optimized build.

So what you expect isn't the thing in many games. Games that have challenge aren't "I'd expect to play w/e build makes me smile."

You are playing expansion content that is designed for level 80's in exotic gear. Your Regengade tree isn't finished yet so your essentially playing 2/3 a build. I don't know what stat gear your using, but I would say this comes down to gear/build/play ability. The mission your "brick walling" on is actually one of the easier ones.

This game has mechanics, like dark souls, but not always to that extreme.If you stand in telegraphed swings, prepare to get 1 shot or near death.If you stand in the orange circle, prepare to die.

Honestly it sounds like you need to step back from the content and learn to play your class better and get better gear. If thats not an option for you this may honestly be the wrong game for you as this game doesn't hand everything to you like some easier MMOs.

[I coyote'd into a brick wall playing PoF Personal Story...]

If you are in exotics and getting rolled in story mode you may want to check your build. It sounds like either bad gameplay or you are using something with no defense in it at all (or not enough offense, as that is the best defense lol)

If you want help and aren't just complaining please post your build.

[Lich Form]

Probably should be in the pvp forums.. but lich is pretty easily countered. One of those things you dont generally face tank as a squishy class.Also that is 10 seconds the necro can't heal :) Good time to burn and force it into life force.

[unable to log in]

Same, appears to be down.

[Condi Thief is Fun and Interactive]

Yea, condi thief is a bit OP right now. It puts so many conditions on target in 2 seconds that most classes can't cleanse but the cover conditions. Its a 3 second death for classes with only 4 total cleanses or less. Those are usually on a 20-30s+ cooldown and the thief can reburst you before that.
