  1. 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.

     

  2. 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.

  3. 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)

    What are the choices you get from the backpack compensation box? Is it literally just one of the three legendary backpacks?

     

    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.

     

  5. 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)

     

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
