I was wondering about this too. Considering Mesmer, Warrior, and Engi got support weapons. A "killing enemies" achievement like this is unbalanced with the other professions. 😆

Problem: After restarting from checkpoint, We had to wait several minutes in Nightmare CM fractal for everyone's downed penalty to go away. Request: Please make the Mistlock Singularity automatically remove the downed penalty.

Some of us have dozens of characters. It's not practical to finish Personal Story on all of them. However, the Personal Story objectives can't be hidden. It's annoying as I don't want to see that info. But on the content guide, whether it's set to "Off" or "Disable Personal Story", the green star and the personal story step is still there. Annoying to have info we don't want to see on our HUD, day in and day out.

Dear ANet Team, can we have news soon on what items we will need to craft the Legendary Relic in Update 2? (I’m guessing that’s Feb 2024.) What “significant progress” will someone who had 6 to 7 Legendary Runes before SOTO get? The possible materials for the SOTO Legendary armors are already hinted at in game. They can already make progress, grind, and save up materials. As for the Legendary Relic, we don’t have a shopping list yet. ———— For context, my reason why is build freedom. [Optional background info: I mainly play endgame instanced content (fractals, raids, strikes) and open world, and very rarely WvW…over 23+ characters. Since Nov 2020, I’ve prioritized and invested in full legendary slots (except non-underwater weapons — and Conflux which I put off). I can mostly boost any character to 80, then deck them out in complete stats plus ascended weapons. This is so I can play any profession or elite spec no matter the balance patch.] ———— Problem/Frustration with Souldbound Expansion Relics: At the moment, I’m beyond frustrated by the soulbound nature of Expansion relics. Meta condi builds seem to rely on expansion relics. I wish I could transfer Relic of Akeem or Relic of the Fractal between 23+ toons. It’s hard to test (and have fun with) expansion relics and different builds as there’s only one PvE way to get pinches of stardust. It’s on me for completing the Amnytas Mastery on 2 accounts (obsessive Achiever-style player — wanted MPs and /possessed)…and farming Stardust to get several expansion relics for 2 whole weeks…but I’m so sick of Amnytas metas by now I could puke. 🤣 At this point, I want to tap out of creating and playing new builds until we get the legendary relic. (That is, disengage from the build part of the game until the situation is resolved.) Can we get some hope there sooner: what mats do we need to save for the Legendary Relic? What ‘significant progress’ will we get if we had 6-7 Legendary Runes before SOTO?

Dang, that’s standard and reasonable modern gaming specs. 😳 Is this with Reflections off? 🤔 IIRC, the game struggles with that since the entire bottom area of maps is supposedly water. The entire center of Amnytas is the World Spire and the Bastion of the Celestial. There might be a ton of pixels and shades there. 😅 ————— I vaguely recall several YouTube guides on how to optimize GW2 graphics helped me a lot when my PC was a potato that could barely load textures in time — think invisible flame walls at Soulless Horror or Sabetha. (To ANet team: The Settings menu doesn’t explain well enough what each setting does. Especially since most of us aren’t graphics programmers. 🙏)

• I wonder how much SOTO raised the minimum requierments by? • My old PC that used to run HoT raids at 5 to 15 FPS on medium settings might have exploded. (It was the 2015 Macbook 12-inch that was netbook-like…I know. I was younger, it was a gift, and money was tight.) A guildie’s decade plus old graphics card — the Nvidia GTX 970 — can barely keep up now. • My current upper mid-tier 2021 PC (1440p at 165Hz, RTX 3070, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 32 GB DDR4, PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD) is playing Amnytas on Ultra settings and rarely breaking a sweat. 😅 (Side note: despite my PC having more than enough RAM, Chrome browsers get crazy memory leaks. I don’t know if the Trading Post being on Chromium affects memory leaks.) If the devs are designing and testing the game on a souped up work PC, they might not even experience how much of a bottleneck it can get.

(If it’s fully fixed — I haven’t gone back in-game to check — thank you ANet team for taking care of us and dealing with the bug. 🙏🎉)

Gotta admire this dedication. 😳👏

I'm on NA servers.

Thanks for the heads up Dhonti. 😮

Speaking of achievements, aside from Protector of Jade Mech Habitation Zone 03, I'm also working on Zojja's Journal: Jade Mech Habitation Zone 03. I don't know if it's because this event is bugged (as in the rest of the map events in Jade Mech Habitation Zone 03 are stuck due to Min-Ji and the Kestrels), but I've cleared Defeat Dexicos (Help the Astral Ward Destroy Tainted Artifacts) twice now and it won't progress this part of Zojja's journal. I'm praying for a fresh map instance or a hotfix soon. That /Heroic emote is waiting. 🤣

I'm not sure of this, but I think this event being stuck, also locks out the timer for other events in Jade Mech Habitation Zone 03. I've been here a while and only Dexicos the Covetous is spawning. All the other events haven't spawned: Stop the Naga Raiding Party Defeat the Ministry of Transit Boss and Emergency Broadcast Stations

Here is my mini-map which demonstrates how far away the stuck NPC is (Min-Ji) from the Escort NPCs (Kestrels). https://pasteboard.co/QvxMVrMb93l3.png

I've been to 5 different Skywatch Archipelago map instances today with this event bugged and stuck. (Help the Kestrels search for survivors). The "Wounded survivor aided: 0/1" is nowhere to be found. And I suspect this might be why. NPC Min-ji is stuck in a loop trying to fix a breaker box. She's atop a tower due south of the [Conquered Plaza] POI. She's considered a "Fallen Ally" with a resurrect icon but can't be resurrected or interacted with. Please see attached photo for what it looks like in-game. https://pasteboard.co/BboblOyPV6IF.jpg

I actually enjoyed the expansion. Love the lore (finally freed from 10 years+ of the 6 Elder Dragons & Aurene), flying maps (thank goodness no underwater 🤣), flying mount upgrades (I love the Skyscale even more now) , and the cadence of future releases. Flying maps feel like a dream come true with this game's mount and mastery system. Plus, Zojja returning was something we all asked for since HoT. We have a rough date on releases, plus GW2's business model w/o a monthly sub is more sustainable if they have regular expac. (If GW2 stays profitable, our game servers will continue to exist.) Business model-wise & community morale-wise, it's great we don't have a 3 to 5 year drought on an expac/strike/fractal announcement, wondering if GW2 will be continued or not. They also have time & resources now to focus on QoL, bugs, et cetera. I also like that we don't have new elite specs. Balancing (and remembering how to play) 27 elite specs + 9 core classes is already unwieldy. I view any problems with the Relic system and Wizard's Vault as growing pains. It's great that we've divorced Rune Stats from the 6th bonus and can mix and match. It feels nice that we're improving an antiquated and limiting daily rewards system. It's a sign they care. Heck in other games, a seasonal battle pass costs money. There's even gem store items in there. Change may hurt for now, but it's necessary for the game going forward.

I only achieved "Read a letter" and "Read Field Notes" in the 3. Mother of Stars instance where we follow Zojja. It's not in any of the letters in All Hell Breaks Loose.

For real. Shade duration is why I'll give up Scourge for several months minimum. It sucks to play. I'll probably just skip on learning any new GW2 builds until a month or three after the expansion drops. The meta's shaken up so much, that I'd rather focus on real life than deal with these things that feel bad.

Now that Reaper is seeing more use in endgame content again (finally!): Can we please change the Squad UI Color for the "Health Bar" of the Reaper Shroud? The violet color in the Squad UI for the Specter Shroud shows that this is possible on the coding side of things. Reaper shroud looks green like normal health bars, so this tend to gives our Raid/Strike Healers panic attacks. Please consider this QoL change. 🙏It's been a struggle for years.

Seconding this! It's such a pain. I want to give my guildies more of the mats they need to craft something. Not add to their work by cluttering the guild bank.

Talked with others that it might be a visual bug. That the channel bar disappears, even though the channel supposedly continues. (Had 1 case where the channel bar disappeared in normal mode, but the channel succeeded) However, when the channel bar disappears, the Press [F] to interact button also reappears. Considering the channel at Dhuum allows only a few seconds to succeed, it’s normal to panic (at the disappearing bar) and Interact again to restart the channel.

For Legendary Equipment, an "Equip all" or "Copy All" button would help. For example, for a Legendary Trident, I want to copy the skin, stats, sigils, and infusions to all 8 equipment templates. It gets old copying the skin (and hopefully dyes) over 8 equipment templates. Especially when we're mass copying several legendaries at once, like 6 pieces of legendary armor, runes, infusions, skins, stats, et cetera.

One of my statics was progging Dhuum CM today. Two times, we got Dhuum below 10%. However, each time, one person got interrupted when they interacted with the seal to channel it. It looked to them like they started the channel, and as if something invisible interrupted them. We double checked, none of them moved. They made sure the channel started, but we don’t understand why they got stopped. We’re not imagining it, it happened to two different squad members on two occassions. It happened at different seal locations also. We had more than enough time to DPS Dhuum down, if only the seal interaction channel didn’t fail. Can someone look into this please? It feels like the Dhuum CM clear was stolen from us twice. 🥹

Thanks! Yeah needing a lot of people just to do long dungeon escort events is painful. Especially compared to the convenience of Fractals and Strikes. Yeah, it would be nice also if they consistently made the Risen High Wizard appear during defense. It seems anomalous/buggy to me that some defenses have him, and some not. I found out later on the wiki that the Assault on Arah resets evey 1.5 hours after the first Assault clear. (Though I only found this out by parking my toon on the map for an hour plus. Since when I dipped in and out of the Cursed Shore, the meta would either be finished or on another timer.) Is that so, maybe the mods can move this to a more appropriate part of the forums?

Regarding the Risen High Wizard in Cursed Shore, 4 legendary weapon collections are locked behind him. However, he's only sure to spawn IF the defend event of the gates of Arah fails. This is necessary to force the meta event chain of the assault that leads to him spawning 100%. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_Risen_High_Wizard_and_secure_the_Promenade_of_the_Gods The Wiki of the gate defense mentions that he MIGHT spawn during defense. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ensure_that_the_Pact_holds_the_Gates_of_Arah HOWEVER, it's not even clear what conditions lead to him spawning during the defense. Other players almost always try to succeed in the event. Since the failure of the event locks the Arah Dungeon. It's not like we can grab other players by the neck and force them to fail an event. Unfortunately, only the FAIL state leads to a sure spawn of him. Being sad to see other players clear the event is against ANet's GW2 philosophy of "happy to see another player" in PvE. Can you fix this please? I've been waiting the whole day and no map has failed this event. It's that bad, I wouldn't be surprised if others wait several days or weeks to even get this achieve that locks the collection. 4 Collections from the wiki: Kudzu III: Leaf of Kudzu:  https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/9/92/Fertilized_with_the_High_Wizard%27s_Bone_Meal.png Fertilized with the High Wizard's Bone Meal — Gather bone meal from the Risen High Wizard at the Gates of Arah in Cursed Shore, and use it to fertilize your hidden garden in Mount Maelstrom.
