I'd really look at the SSD, yes. I recently updated my PC and decided to put GW2 on an older (and slower) SSD (as the faster SSD was filled to the brim :p) Within the hour, I moved something else from the faster SSD and moved GW2 back as loading took ages...

You mean, people don't want to be cannon fodder in WvW. Because that's the way I feel whenever I go to WvW. I have no idea what to do (nor am I inclined to even learn it or even pay attention to what I am doing), the only thing I can (and will) do is follow the leader, keeping the space occupied for a player who really wanted to play that part of the game. And to those that say it takes more time to get a GoE, I can get 2 GoE's faster than I can get 1 GoB in WvW, with a lot less frustration at that.

I got multipe (crafted) precursors ready for legendary transformation. Sadly, I'll probably never manage to get most of them in to legendary stuff, even though I have every single material needed, but 1. That horrible GoB. I don't mind grinding for stuff (otherwise I'd never have created all those precursors :p), but I do loathe WvW so much, I prefer to let those precursors rot in my bank... WvW is not grinding, it's SM.

It's actually worse... First, you could get a gift of battle for 500 of those WvW tokens, then you needed to spend 2400 tokens (80 bottles of 30 tokens each, if you didn't do the dailies), and now you need to spend hours upon hours in a most toxic environment that gives you zero reward, except stress and the urge to press that little cross at the top right of your screen. I do kind of like the new dailies, but the reward just suck. I don't understand why they simply didn't add those two bottles (both the PvP and the WvW ones) to the reward center of the Vault.

I have found a few fishmongers, but they only sold fish, no lures or baits...

How do you all fish in core maps? Is that not accountbound but character bound or something? Because I can summon my skiff, but not fish.

I can't even fish because I need a lure of bait! Do you need more masteries before you can fish outside Cantha?

The fishing itself is fun and not too difficult (only the moment you need to "hook" the fish is a bit tricky to see). But when I tried to fish in Tyria (at a fishing hole no less!), it said I needed a lure or bait... But no idea how to get those! And why don't I need them in Cantha?

Yes i know, but the question was, within those you consider good, which ones do you maybe like better? Like, which one looks more optically pleasing and balanced? :smile:To me, the larger skins tend to look more balanced, especially on a charr. That's partly because of the charr size of course. And now i realize i forgot the 4th "no preference" option. :sweat_smile: In general, I like medium sized weapons. But.... I'd like weapons to a have fixed size. Right now, you can have a weapon, nicely sized on your Charr or Norn, that just is tiny on an Asura, while it would have looked awesome on an Asura if it had been the same size as on that Charr or Norn.

Let's just say, it's the first LS, that I haven't even finished previous parts when the new parts came out... I loathe that forced playing together. I like to play with others, but not when I MUST play with others to finish my story. Right now, I'm at the point where I might not even buy any upcoming expansion, if this is the way ANet is moving.

Either that, or it'll never end Why Anet, after 8 years of stuck events, still hasn't made an automatic fail after x amount of minutes have passed, is beyond me.

That would mess with so many peoples builds and stuff though, you'd probably end up with a lot of players just saying I think i'll play something else for the week >.< Not only that, but how many people now rely on either a glider or a mount when they jump off too high areas to get somewhere fast :p I think you'd see a lot of dead people below cliffs :p

Sure, not judging. Simply stating that you might have more rose colored memories of what it meant to map complete the WvW maps than was actually the case. I still remember the patch when WvW maps were removed from the world completion. A lot of PvE only players sighed a huge relief. Sure, I sighed a huge relief. But I let out a lot of curses when I found out (after the fact, as I never followed any WvW news) that you couldn't buy GoB's directly anymore. If I had known in advance (aka, if they hadn't hidden the fact in some obscure WvW update preview notes), I'd have bought about 10 of those... In my eyes, the fact that you can no longer buy those GoB's is worse than the fact that you sometimes had to wait a long time before you could finish the WvW maps. But that's a personal preference.

Off this list, I really liked the fact that characters had their own money. Oh, and there's one other change I'd rather see rolled back: the fact that you can no longer buy Gifts of Battle in WvW. If I had to do map completion of WvW again but would be able to buy the Gift of Battle, I'd say yes in a heartbeat! Only until you realize that map completion in WvW sometimes meant literally having to wait weeks until your server was the appropriate color to get those last few PoI and Vistas. Depending a lot on how strong your server was in getting into each objective. Which, given the likely small size of Classic and potentially, if at all, only 3 server, would mean that everyone bandwagons on 1 server, and if you aren't on that one, you most definitely will have to wait weeks. Versus todays what? 6 hours with boosters of flipping camps? Yeah....I've done more full map completions before the WvW change than I got Gifts of Battle the new way. I click that little cross on the right side of my window after 5 minutes if I enter WvW now... Maybe unless you are able (both physically as mentally) to spend 6 hours straight in WvW, getting a Legendary the new way is slower than the old one. Also, remember that you get 2 Gifts of Exploration with one single map completion... But because I say I preferred the old way of the Gift of Exploration/Gift of Battle, doesn't mean I would like a GW2 Classic server! Rather the opposite, those two things I mentioned (the "personal" gold and the Gift of Battle changes) are the only thing I'd like to return to the old way!

There's a difference between difficult content to get a MP and MP's that need to be bought with gold or with repeating the same thing over and over and over again. I had some problems with the HoT points as well, because, as somebody said, I wasn't too good at some of the adventures. But those are generally not too long so you can repeat and get better at them (or even get lucky at one point :p) and finally get that point. But for the latest series, I need a lot of gold (for example Master of the Ancestral Forge), spend a lot of time doing a meta (that I've only seen fail) several times (such as Raven's Favor) or even worse, only be able to get mastery points by doing strike missions (sorry, I bought GW2 because I don't like forced group content).

Hmm, I still haven't enough mastery points for the masteries of the first LS that needs these points. As far as I can see, I'll never get even enough points to get the mount thingie unlocked...

I think that might be difficult considering those were Jeremy Soule's work Why? Jeremy Soule also did Skyrim and Oblivion and those are on Spotify...

And that's why I don't feel like playing anymore. I just counted. I've not started the latest LS yet (I tried, quit after 5 minutes of mute movements), but as of now, I'll need 20 more mastery points. And I don't see any I can get without having to do things over and over and over and over and over and over again. Especially if those things take an hour or more to do. So, I don't even have those waystations, because I don't have the mastery points to get them. I presume that mount skill also needs mastery points and will be added to the end of the list because I don't see it in my list of masteries I don't have. Theres far more mastery points than needed in core, hot or pof. So far only icebrood saga has been stingy with them. So you can pick and choose what fits you best to pursue.Ive each and every mastery line completedSpare core Tyrian x23Spare HoT x20Spare PoF x18Spare IBS x2 Only really Icebrood saga has taken a lot more effort. But still quite doable, and allowed me to skip the worst of them.Central Tyria: 18HoT: 20PoF: 13Icebrood Saga: so far -20 And I can only see 6 that are not "the worst of them" (the 5 new insights and finishing the story) "Doable" is a relative term.

Not like everybody! I still wear my kind-of normal work clothing (just slightly less picky on what I wear :p) But I too am curious how you "go to work" and "go back home after the workday is done" so to speak.

Took me a few tries to log back in (kept getting network errors), probably because I was logged in at the time it crashed, but I'm up and running again. Thankfully the one thing I cared most about is returned: the SAB achievement I got on Sunday :p Didn't want to wait another year to finally finish that one!

Considering the TP isn't working as it should either (due to a partial rollback, most likely), I doubt the current server status is correct...

after having played Assassin's Creed (both Origin and Odyssey) and Red Dead Redemption 2, I would love a photo mode like that. But I'm also realistic and realize that implementing something like that might be a bit difficult in a game that's almost 8 years old already... And besides, a photo mode like that generally freezes the scene and that's kind of impossible in a MMO...

I don't have toons, but I have too many characters :p. At least one of each race/weight/gender combination. So, that's 5x3x2. All of them (except one, she's a special case as she's only used in SAB) are lvl80. 8 of them have done everything (100% map completion on all maps and all stories done). I'm busy with nr 9. One of each profession. And the rest I play when I feel like doing something different.
