Something similar on my end just now; I can give the statues but the weekly achievement doesn't get completed, preventing me from getting that extra 25 Imperial Favors. Granted I'll live with it if the alternative is not using the vault at all...

Yeah uhh.. what others are saying. Why nerf mesmer/mirage axe so much? Like, what's it doing, and where, that needs all these nerfs? It's already a lot of forced movement, are you worried rifle/axe mirage is going to be the ultimate healer build or something?

Would love to see a Miyani mini honestly. Potential idea for The Lost Shores rerelease after doing Miyani's Scavenger Hunt perhaps? I believe she gained popularity after the Four Djinn book found in the Mythwright Gambit revealed how she met Zommoros, so I imagine I'm not alone in wanting this. Honestly fingers crossed that we get a bit more lore drops about Miyani and Zommoros because they're such a fun pairing , maybe seeing some of that lost dialogue between them getting reused. Actually on that note please give us another Mystic Forge donation event, I'm dying to get that Mystic Benefactor title.

Looking forward to the Mesmer changes. Quick question though; is there any plans for reworks of runes? It just feels... strange that the goal was to expand the flexibility of builds with the addition of relics, but now every condi build under the sun is using Trapper runes, minus a few edge cases.

I'm a huge fan of printmaking (art major lol) and also that promo image in general, anyway, so if anyone is planning to buy the Shadow of [Spoiler] Figure collectible bundle but didn't care for the poster, I'd be willing to buy it off them for a reasonable price. Alternatively, if ANet plans to sell the poster as a stand-alone product it'd be great to get confirmation one way or the other. Link for anyone not sure of what I'm talking about

I was fairly comfy on heal scourge the few times my group needed it. Wednesday, I brought an alac version of the build to some test raids. I was working around the clock just to upkeep alac, and healing was basically down the gutter. I switched to a dps alac variation and was also working around the clock just to upkeep alac. I am once again asking you to improve shades duration.

After seeing the merging of dungeon, strike, and raid currencies, it's clear ANet isn't trying to drown us in new currency. Best case scenario they decide to use Laurels and we can finally grind those suckers.

Based on the shape of the fingers AND the tower supposedly having elementals running around, I'm inclined to think djinn. Another reason I'm inclined to say djinn is due to the fact that the wiki mentions djinn are natural enemies of demons, so, they have the motivation to care about demon threats. My tinfoil hat theory is that's Zommoros given the skin colour and both he and Zojja are part of this Astral Ward protecting Tyria. Also, this wouldn't be the first time Zommoros had a connection with Isgarren if that were the case...

The wording of the announcement does seem to imply that a legendary version is on the way. It's not impossible that having a full rune set will be the key to unlocking a leggy relic when the time comes, similar to those who want Twice Told Legend needing two of the same legendary. This change does seem to make having a legendary relic more valuable than having 6-7 leggy runes, hence my inclination to think that owners of leggy runes will get a shortcut to the relic. I wouldn't be surprised if folks who had multiple sets of the same legendary armour weight felt this annoyance back when the armoury was released, but as someone who won't have to feel unbridled disdain for Nightmare runes again, I'm not against this change.

I had wrist injuries after getting skyscale. Just a guess, but it's probably a good thing when a game doesn't force the player base to potentially injure themselves for an in-game perk? Also, normal skyscale acquisition requires owning PoF and all of LWS4. For new players who want the full experience, that's $125 (EDS Complete Collection + Soto), not including all the time needed to grind out masteries, materials, gold, the LWS4 story (that's also required, don't forget), getting to the various locations with one or two mounts at best, and so on. Giving out perks to those who already have skyscale is the best way to handle it honestly.

Please stop trying to kill staff mirage

I don't know what the heck I was doing that day but I didn't notice any of this 😂

Alac mirage is the only build that uses TWO staffs, so effectively being limited to one weapon, and you're suggesting to nerf it?? Double staff alac mirage and quick chrono are the only dedicated support options Mesmer can offer a group, and quick chrono is underused currently. If you want mirage to be more of a support spec then make it a support spec, or do what you've been doing with newer specs whereby different trait rows are for condi/power/support builds. Surely there's some traits on the mirage line that are hardly touched, like how often does Sand Shards get used?

Was struck with inspiration and cranked this out in record time. Miyani, Zommoros, and guest appearances of over a dozen skritt. Link!

The maguuma weapon skins came out in 2021 so there is some precedent for stuff getting released years after their associated expansion came out. But you're not wrong. Some sort of glowing eyes + mask head item, shoulders, hand bracers (an extra set of arms tied to an armour skin would be overkill as cool as it'd be), and a skirt that hides the feet really well leg slot and/or a feet item that renders the feet invisible similar to a ghost. Maybe a back item that adds a fake pair of arms that have idea animations. I've watched djinn idle animations enough to know there's basically only four animations they ever consistently use; their arms crossed in front of their chest/sides, "walking" with one pair of arms in front and the other set behind, one hand raised above their head in a stylized pose, and the last one being inspecting their nails.

Was initially very distraught at seeing the change to Master of Manipulation but was cautiously relieved at seeing Temporal Enchanter. Don't normally play 100% support Mesmer builds however my jumping puzzle mesmer build is very reliant on the on demand superspeed given by MoM. It'll be nice to have superspeed given in the Inspiration spec, though Chaos will still be used for Prismatic Understanding and this new version of MoM most likely. Unrelated to the jumping puzzle meta, giving mesmer mantras back their prep time without likewise letting them auto-prepare outside combat seems unnecessarily punishing. Imagine going into a raid/fractal/strike with Mantra of Concentration for the stability source and oops! you forgot to precast it after your 8th /gg and now the mechanic where you need that stability popped up. If anything, if you really, really, want to force mesmers to manually precast a mantra (though I'm encouraging you not to) without making mantras too demanding to use, give an effect during the initial cast. That way you can actually go "Oh yeah, precasting Mantra of Recovery gives regeneration/invulnerability/insert some other effect here, let me do that real quick."

If they were to lean more into the Pact and necromancer aspect rather than the fact he's a Firstborn sylvari, it could work honestly. Make it a specialization that focuses on summoning Pact members to come to your aid and shouting orders to them.

Just gonna repost my thread for djinn-themed items here

I earnestly tried finding a gemstore category. Thanks for this Oh would love to see your take on a Qadim, though there's plenty of fire-themed stuff so I imagine it's not difficult. Do... Do they actually have tails? Is it mentioned anywhere in lore? What models are you looking at where they actually have anything modelled below the sarong??

I'm not going to sit here and pretend I don't want to cosplay as Zommoros, because I do, and I'd be willing to toss money at the chance. But current wardrobe options are limited with what you can do, and figured hey, why not let it be known some of us like cosplaying non-core race characters enough to give money for the chance to do so.

Alternatively; fishing WvW. You can only capture objectives via fishing. If you want to kill another player, you have to enter a fishing challenge together. First to reel in the fish kills the other. Enemy squads have to all sit around a lake to fish the opposing squad to death. What do you mean this idea isn't feasible?!

Always on board with more stuff related to Zommoros and Miyani, or even just updating old stuff, like the unused dialogue the two had but was never used, finally answering why Miyani has so many "Mystic Forge Attendant" clones, reviving the in-map cutscene of Zommoros advertising his "tour". Would be nice to know what Livia has been up to now that her life's goal is complete. Also just re-encountering some of the largos we've met in the past. Really holding onto the hope of revenants getting a Legendary Marshall stance at some point (Trahearne). Though same can be said for a lot of the characters that died.

It's wild that your crack theory was one of the few in this post to be at least partially correct in the end; the whole raid didn't revolve around how the two met but as is tradition with fractals a randomly placed book describes exactly that (The Four Djinn).

Next expansion suggestions: Theft of Lunches Filing of Taxes Tech of Support Hang of Nail Glass of Water

Considering he's now retired in a sense it'd be weird to see him get killed. Like he's technically left the story to go recover from his Primordus ordeal indefinitely, there's no need to have him twice removed.
