[my shield used to appear on my back?]

Also the shield will only show if you have a cape-style backpiece on. Backpacks? Fancy shin-digs? Shield doesn't show.

[Poll: Do you have more or less fun in the game because of relics?]

I am a healer - I picked up being a support ever since the release of HoT and druid on ranger. Ever since then all I've been using is monk. Monk monk monk monk - the new relic system has potential - but currently the best is GUESS WHAT - monk! I'm sick of monk! It's a boring stat increase! I want the Relic of Lyhr to be viable - or something fun along those lines! Mechanical changes!

[Relic of Lhyr]

Heals and regen do trigger it - it just has a cooldown to it. (source: playing with it as heal herald)

[Are WvW rewards frozen for anyone else?]

If anyone still has this issue - try switching to a different track then back to the track. Worked for me.

[Are WvW rewards frozen for anyone else?]

Not fixed - still experiencing issues - trying to earn reward track for the new track.

[Maybe a stupid question but.....(Griffon Mount)]

Drizzlewood Coast, Dragonfall, Auric Basin's Octovine, fractals, fishing.

.. predicting this patch will kill the game or that patch will kill the game and yet, years later, they're still around playing. 

 

I will agree, that sort of sentiment is always silly in an MMO. I deeply care for GW2, I do not like the balance changes - will it kill it? Hell nah. I just want to be able to branch out from certain specs/classes without feeling like I'm gimping myself. Technically I can, but it doesn't feel right personally.

Edit in for an example:

I play support mech, but I prefer support scrapper. Firebrand does everything scrapper does but better. Quite a few strikes I've been in people would either want me to be firebrand or leave if they already have alacrity.

They've been receiving the valuable feedback you think we never offer for the past 10 years.

How bad this patch was. Just be happy that you dodged that bullet.

 

Ranger got Untamed. They dodged no bullets.
