I have a character slot specifically set aside to do map completion. I typically run her 2 to 3 times a year (I craft legendary weapons to sell). I use the Tomes of Knowledge (from WvW) to boost her to 80 and have a set of ascended I reuse. You could do the same if you want a clone of your main.

my guild mates and I are humble node farmers, it's a shame they have to hide many of those nodes behind locked gates.

or more likely Anet sees this post and goes WTF!!! Crap, we forgot that. Hey, let's just claim it was the Vendors and we're done.

I haven't done this one but I know what you're going through. I also have arthritis and "shaky hands" and there are achievements/activities I just can't complete. So yes, I agree ANET should at least consider that some of these might be a bit too physically challenging some in the player base. Yeah, I know "git gud" is the default answer from some. But the reality is that physical decline will not stop, so today is best I'll ever be.

I got an answer from ANET confirming that this is a display/visual problem and they're working on it. Still, it leaves me a little uneasy, I hope I get on the right map tonight.

yeah, it does appear to be a display problem. I checked on a different alt and it showed correctly. But when I tested on another by trying to change my selection, it wouldn't uncheck but allowed me to check all selections. Amazing. But then the next character still showed my original choice.

I hope that's the case (selection still recorded). It's not been a good morning with this and finding my coffee maker broken.

For the past two days, my WR Guild selection has been "unchecked" when I've logged in. Well, this morning. it was "unchecked" AGAIN but now I can't select any guild for the beta. I check the box, close & reopen the screen and it is "unchecked" every time. It appears that ANET still has a long way to go before the basic functions of this beta are worked out. (sorry about the rant but this one set me off this morning)

I'd like to see a warclaw skin that looks like the Boston Dynamic robot dog.

Along with remapping keys, existing key combinations using the CRTL key no longer work. This wasn't mentioned in the release notes.

For my Warbringer, I was given Ad Infinitum and The Ascension as the back pieces I could choose from. I also could have picked one of the Gen1 Legendary weapons but I already had all of those. In hindsight it might have been a better choice to get a second axe, sword or pistol if I wanted to run a duel wield build but I still feel the back piece skins were a good choice since I'm not likely to start running that content to get those.

I'm also torn by the fact I now have a legendary backpack (Warbringer) sitting in my bank that I cannot equip anymore. Yes, I understand that I can now add a Warbringer to every one of my 19 characters, but it somehow just doesn't "feel" right to salvage this. I did pick a new legendary back skin and glider as compensation but it's gonna take me a while to let this go. I just need to keep reminding myself that I've traded 1 legendary backpack for 18 legendaries backpacks. Thank you ANET (I guess)

just found him in Metrica Province

hmmm.... and I always thought people were the content in WvW. But hey, if some shiny new thing brings more content then I'm all for it.

I'd like to see a city/urban battleground map added to WvW. Something like Ebonhawke, Divinity Reach, etc., without siege or mounts, where small groups (15 to 20 per side) can fight.

I run a key farm alt once a week (turning time into a key instead of cash) and the chest always produces at least 4 items, sometimes 5 if I'm lucky. If the keys could only be purchased with cash, I suspect the "violating gambling laws" argument would carry more weight. But since the chest does gives something of value (even the junk has value) and you can trade time or in game gold, I suspect ANET isn't too worried about your perceived RNG loss.

I still cannot understand why some players need the developers to tell them what to do in game (grind, decay, forced content, etc). GW2 allows me to play the content I want without going back to areas, events, achievements just to "maintain" my current stuff.

I'm curious to hear from WvW scrapper running bomb kit. Did they notice a reduction to the barriers from Impact Savant trait because their damage was reduced? If so, maybe we could petition to remove the Vitality nerf ANET added last year.

I want a skyscale so we can finally shoot down those annoying Airships in SMC

I guess to sum up, time is the most valuable currency in this game. The players that have more time have more opportunities to generate in game currency. After 7+ years of Guild Wars 2, there are clever folks that have found repeatable methods to improve their use of time to generate gold. Use those guides (or not) the choice is yours. The "casual" nature of this game was a design choice by the Developers, accept that and enjoy the game for what it is.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned bomb scrapper yet. Equip bomb kit, press 1, collect bags

Thunder Noodle? Ziti Clap? (scrapper hammer 5) I heard you should stay away from Inquest females, you may catch the Ziti Clap

Woot!A Dev mentioned WvW and …….. nothing (sigh)

I agree. Why can't we have armor skins without all the extra buckles, straps, chains, trinkets, etc. I'd love to have just a plain pair of pants and a tee shirt.

I have a second one for the typical laurels and coins as well, but I also use it to farm the Ornate Rusted Keys to get the swim speed boosters faster
