  1. In other news, ArenaNet making the decade's devotion title available for purchase.

     

    I'm all for accessibility to cosmetics and titles but having the few things remain as exclusivity for preorder recognition and early events losing their meaning really strikes me the wrong way. It's not like this is an amazing item you wish you had to complete a look. The entire purpose of this item was to show off you were a fan of the first hour.

    Also me: *murders hundreds of Skritt in cold blood, wiping entire communities off the map*

     

    You're not actually supposed to do those quests. It's a morality test.

  3. I was completely unable to use specter wells while I was fighting mobs on some branches.

     

    Like, literally half my skills were unusable because the terrain wasn't flat enough.

     

    Not to mention all wells are disabled underwater as well.

     

    Unplayable.

    That's... probably a bug.  The degen on shroud should be proportionally based.  If the natural degen is now killing off the shroud faster than it did in the past, then it is a bug.

    I think it's a proportion bug. When I was scaled to level 8 or something trying out the shroud in queensdale I could stay in it for a few seconds max. When I did lv 80 content it seemed fine again.

  5. This is one of the most ludicrous over the top nerfs I've ever seen in an MMO.

    I can stay about 8 seconds in a full shroud now (without taking damage) ((Edit: this might be a scaling bug for low level zones?))

  6. Having played in every single GW2 era, I'd say mid PoF. The zones were beautiful and varied, the mount masteries were fun to unlock and actually felt useful and interesting, the LW content was on fire and PoF felt more alive with endless bounty trains. They're still there just a bit less since people hang around in EoD as well now.

  7. I feel like dedicated support mounts would have to be introduced very carefully to not make dedicated support classes obselete. Any mount that could heal, shield, throw in quickness or alac could potentially really hurt general class variety.

     

    I'd feel physically sick if I rolled up on jormag on my support guardian and saw 25 owl mounts AoE healing through mechanics.

    I doubt they'll ever be able to fix anything about it.

    In my experiences, the lags mostly happened due to the excessive amounts of particle effects and bright colours. These aren't just coming from the players, but also the icy surroundings.

    Given that they seem to love excessive particle effects to a degree that isn't exactly healthy for a game, I can't see them fixing this reason for lag.

    And since the game is hosted on Amazon Web Servers, I doubt they can upgrade the servers to handle the particle effects better.

     

    No. The client forcefully stops utulizing the GPU during the freezes. It is not 'heavy particle effects'. It's a bug that stops the game utilizing the GPU or somehow switches the GPU utilization off.

     

    edit: you can check this yourself. do meta with task manager open. during freezes gpu core goes to 0% and then restarts.

  9. I'm not going to dive into the back and forth. I'll just give my 2 cents.

     

    It took me a good while to get all the mounts and skyscale was a big undertaking for sure. But it was 100% worth it and looking back I wouldn't have it any other way. It's an undertaking that you know everyone you see on a skyscale has done. It's a milestone for your account, not just another toy to throw on the heap and forget about.
