  1. Balance??? Is there another area of WvW play that I'm not aware of? One third of the player base has been dwindling since before WR. It's just getting worse. Apparently I don't understand how any of this works. The week of the WR one group  controlled everything during NA daytime. Ours controlled everything when I was sleeping and we would lose it all every morning within a couple of hours because of a lack of participation. I see more tags in open world doing events and jumping puzzles than I see on our side in WvW all week. That lack of participation has grown since the end of WR. If the only way to be on the "winning" side and complete the weekly is to jump servers then count me out along with many others.

    The areas ArenaNet 'claim(s) it has to be done' are all areas of the game.  Not sure what restrictions that poses. 

    Where did you do this??? Did you use just the mace and hide your pet??? Was the moon in a certain phase??? I've killed between 20 and 50 ambient in every map area I go and have not gotten any credit so far.

  3. I have noticed several issues. Sniffing with your Warclaw does not reveal that huge mob about to swarm you. I have seen other players with no name above their avi. What is the point of commanders being able to make their tag only visible to some??? I won't mention all the other issues that still exist. I guess I have to figure out how to constantly jump servers to be on the winning side like everyone else.

  4. I do like collecting the gifts. Giving to the orphans is always something I look forward to. I don't like jumping puzzles so I skip that. Seems to me the last time I tried I barely made it past the beginning. I like doing the Toypocalypse. I really wish finding candy canes was as easy as finding candy corn. Perhaps we could have candy cane nodes that are harvested with an axe?

  5. I don't know if this is the place for this, but it's seems like a good idea. I have a suggestion concerning research kits. Since a lot of collections in SOTO require research notes, could we possibly have research kits sold at more vendors? Possibly sell them at crafting stations? I'm sure there are other ways to get research notes but it has been handy for me to use research kits on food items to get them. Thank you.

  6. As usual Anet waited until my server, (The worst server), was red again. This makes the third time we have had a double exp week while my server is red. I know you are all thinking it makes no difference. But, every time we are red I make an average of three levels per day. The few times we have been green or blue for a double exp week I make at least ten levels per day. Other than the fact I've raked in great quantities of Memorys of Battle, it has been another lousy day in WvW for me. Outnumbered, Out booned, Out of patience waiting for the so called improvements to appear.

  7. I finally figured it out, the tier 1 disappears when you get the tier 2, then you still have to open the tab to scan. I was tired and aggravated at the time so I missed that. Do we have to buy scanners to be able to find the rifts in Tyria? So far I've scanned and it says nothing is going on, only to stumble across an event.

    t2 scans look identical to t1 and t3, when you get close to the event (red ring on the map), the event will say what tier number it is [Tier 1], [Tier 2], [Tier 3]. when you double click the motivation in your inventory it will come up with a buff on your bar, blue motivations change your scanner to track tier 1, green will look for tier 2, yellow will look for tier 3.

    if you're following the scan but there is nothing there when you get there, it may be a case of other players have done it before you got there. 

    I did find 5 rift events but my scanner didn't lead me to them so no credit towards my progress. I have clicked on the scanner and it says two events is active but I don't see the flow of little dots pointing the way. I don't even see a way to interact with the scanner so I figured it was automatic. 

  9. I have spent something like 6 hours this morning trying to progress in Chapter 8, Into the Obscure. I have to scan for rifts while the heart is enhanced. I have seen small blobs of color appear above my character and move in that direction only to find NOTHING! WHAT THE HELL DOES THE SCAN LOOK LIKE???? I am sooo tired of not having any clue what is expected and no guidance from Anet. Does anybody have a picture or video of what the hell I should be looking for????? Ready to just quit the story.

  10. I'm not the least bit interested in playing PvP. I have no idea where this kitten vista is. Soooo, if we don't finish the daily, no achievement points????? HOW DOES THIS WORK????? Not liking this at all. I'm 23 points from my next achievement level, am I out of luck until I can find dailies I can actually complete????

  11. OHHH, now Anet sees that pairing two low level servers for 8 weeks wasn't working. I guess they finally noticed how players on those servers were leaving in large numbers. The lockboxes that give very few rewards and the 8 gold for the weekly just weren't enough to keep people playing. When you go into WvW for a daily and see two tags, then go into open world to do a daily and see 7 tags and more players than I normally see any time of day in WvW, it's time to find something else to do.

  12. Am I the only one having trouble with lockbox keys loading as a lockbox icon? I got one lockbox and bought a key, it loaded as a key. I bought more keys after getting more lockboxes and they loaded as more lockboxes. Not that they are worth it, the ones I opened only have low level crafting materials in them.

  13. The other day I tried to use a ballista against enemies outside a downed wall. It would only target the downed wall. Judging by the ever dropping participation on my server, players jumping servers, guilds jumping servers, the new WvW is broken. I for one don't want to play this one sided mess any more.

  14. I've killed one enemy player inside a tower and got nothing towards progress. Why is it if you kill someone outside the wall that obviously was or is attacking the tower you get nothing??? I for one am fed up with what WvW has become. Not just because of this, but also because of the lack of participation on my server. No guilds, no teamwork. Last few days I haven't been able to do damage against enemy players let alone kill them, no matter the setting, map or area. Does Anet even know what is going on in WvW????

  15. Here it is just over a year later and things haven't improved for Rangers. I tried the Untamed build and it worked for about 2 weeks. My kill rate went up and I survived more. Then back to normal. Lucky to survive a 1v1 fight. Part of that is probably that I'm on the worst server and we have no strong guilds, so we don't have boons stretching across the screen. I've tried 6 builds so far and still not having much luck. I must be the worst player ever. Other posts are claiming we should be able to adjust our build at a moment's notice for the situation. I'm lucky to remember which attacks and in what order for the build I have. I guess as long as two server groups are happy and the participation has gone up for them, Anet is happy with the changes they've made. I think I'm about done with WvW.

  16. Supposedly so many complained about how tough Rangers were that Anet decided to weaken the class so much that it's extremely difficult to play any more. For the first few weeks in WvW I was finally able to survive combat and kill enemy players, after that it was back to struggling to survive. In open world Smokescales are some of the toughest things you will come up against. But not with the untamed. All pets have become the same. As was mentioned by others, they die so fast you can't count on them and then the cool down makes it worse. If my Mechanist had higher health, I would play it instead. And I thought I was doing better doing damage until I saw how much faster other players killed targets using other classes. But what do you expect with the awful series of changes Anet has made to the game overall.
