[Listen, Scouts.]

Like the OP, I tend not to join squads most of the time but I still like to give concise scouting reports for the map I am in as a simple courtesy.

But unlike the OP, I do not come to the forums and call people lazy and somehow morally bankrupt if they expect something like shared participation as a reward for doing so.

However, sometimes I have come across commanders who constantly spam chat with scout demands.

I have taken umbrage at this and typed "I am happy to give you scouting reports in return for shared participation".

Do you know how many times a needy commander has taken me up on the offer?

Zero.

Commanders feel they are entitled to free scouting reports all day long.

Aren't they the lazy ones who expect a reward for doing nothing?

It's normal to have different languages on NA servers.  English, Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, Chinese, etc.

That does not have anything to do with my point.

NA does not have different language servers and does not link those servers so that half of them cannot communicate easily with the other half.

[World Linking 3/1/2024]

Please stop linking two different language servers on EU.

It makes for a divided server population and promotes xenophobia.

Try creating different language server links on NA if you think it's so normal.

😕

[Officer's Remnant underwater weapons]

For a long long time now, weapon skins/sets are made without including the aquatic variant, making them all seem incomplete.

So while you are asking, can we ask for all set/skins to include aquatic variants? 

(Looking at you, Black Lion Weapon Merchant)

[Critique of New Moth Skyscale skin]

I have noted that the (undiscounted) 2000 gem skyscale skins have "unique engage skill fields" whereas the 1600 gem ones do not. 

 

 

[WvW infusion and stealth]

Dunno about other full-body infusions since I'm too poor to afford one.

Polyluminescent Undulating Infusion (Black) also has this issue when you stealth.

I had to stop wearing it on my deadeye as it was too difficult to tell if I was in stealth or not.

Just today I saw a thief attacking a camp and even the npcs didnt know wtf to make of it. 

He was hitting a guard for maybe 20% HP and instantly vanished. By instantly, I do mean instantly. The rest in the camp didnt move. The guard he hit didnt even react. Popped up again, 20% more HP, instantly vanish. Repeat every other second. The guards acted like the thief wasnt even there because he just appeared and instantly vanish the millisecond he hit.

It was so stupid to watch I had to laugh. 

And says everything about how stupid stealth on no cd is.

You witnessed the core thief build that can glitch into certain objectives and kill the Lord without any npcs reacting or the map showing the under siege icon. 

It's used by many solo players, usually during the long lonely nightshifts.

one reason being that the tag is invisible on the map so it won't draw unwanted attention, from friendlies and enemies alike.

Are you saying that enemies can see our tags when not set to private?

So did anet ban those wsr exploiters already or do they still hide under stonemist?

The last time our server was matched with WSR (2-3 weeks ago) they had a hacker under the map whilst they did their 24/7 "omglul" spawn camping zerg.

They were able to get closer to spawn than any of them due to being immune to the Legendary Defenders.

So they don't just camp under EBG anymore.

Imagine someone has selected only PvE tasks but viewing a vista  point in WvW map is one of the daily/weekly.

This would be a solid enough argument if not for the PVE weeklies getting the Crab Toss and other activities, which has also received complaints.

There seems to be a slight crossover in both sets.

[Remove or fix the sanctum JPs in the WvW Weekly Wizards Vault]

I like the wvw jps and I enjoy them when they come up.

[Target decision making with ranks]

Diamond, as I like to give newer players more time to react and I often refrain from killing them when found alone.

Spawn camping for hours on end (with com).

[Roaming and oneshots Video with WB, DH and core guard]

"One Shot, One Kill" has been around for decades now.

"Several Shots/One Combo, One Kill" just doesn't cut it.

Stop putting "One Shot" on things that aren't and we're golden.

[The SotO weapons feel random]

I felt similarly about the Rift Hunter armour.

Looks out of place and seems below average in terms of quality.

My theory is that these are the end times, money is tight and these weapon sets were just lying around, half finished and gathering dust in the art department.

This would explain the random and ill-fitting inclusion of them in SotO.

They might have been influenced by the fact that SoTO is just a "mixtape" of GW2 greatest "hits".

Overall it comes off as lazy and under par.

[Remove or fix the sanctum JPs in the WvW Weekly Wizards Vault]

I like the WVW JPs, especially Obsidian Sanctum.

I like to solo it even when it's not in the weeklies, it's a fun way to pass the time whilst waiting in the Q.

There are traps and triggers throughout, so of course people will use them on those following after, that's the point of them.

I have guided many players through it and they are always appreciative.

I have enjoyed delaying many enemy players from completing it.

It's a JP in WVW.

Terms and Conditions Apply.

[Weapon Swap Sigils dont work on my Holosmith]

You have to be below 100% endurance when you swap weapons to notice it proc. 

Try doing two dodges in a row to reduce your endurance then kit/forge swap.

Has to be done whilst in combat (obvious but need to say it just in case that's the issue).

[why isnt willbender nerfed in wvw? ​​]

I play 1 of each espec and a few core classes in wvw, totalling 29 characters.

When I play my dedicated willbbender it's laughably overperforming to the point of meme.

Harbinger and Catalyst aren't far behind.

I feel sorry for maybe a third of my characters, nerfed into below average oblivion.

I don't enjoy playing willbender due to the lack of challenge it effortlessly brings .

Even random button mashing will produce infinite bags.

Anyone maining wb isn't as good a player as they like to think they are.

[Gear Treadmill and how to fight it?]

New vendor in WVW sells selectable exotics, including armor, weapons, trinkets, back and aquabreather.

You can buy the complete set for less than 20g.

Cheap enough that you can salvage it all if space is needed.

This has reduced the cost of my build testing immensely. 

[AFK wallrunners, what's the solution?]

Everyone wears a collar that explodes if you are autorunning longer than the afk timeout. 

Headless players become berserking npcs until killed.

All allied players (up to 100) get 1% of that players' current gold.
