Well GJ Half of my guild has been split 🥱

Myself and those in my guild got no mail at all informing us of this beta. The only reason I even knew about the beta coming up once again was due to the data-mining results posted on Reddit. This is way too short notice for people to prepare for the beta. There's going to be countless people screwed over as a result. We haven't even had half a weeks notice. Considering the beta is all about guilds and alliances over worlds it's pretty foolish to be pushing the beta tomorrow. Since the majority of guilds are likely going to lose out on somewhere between a third, to a half of their guild members who weren't online in the single day of notice that was given... Not to mention how the notice that was given was over on the forum. 🙄 Since, as I mentioned at the start. Not a single guild one of my guild members got the mail about this. So you're gonna have pretty much every guild unable to get in the alliance they were planning. With all of those guilds running with half of their members. The members that didn't log in in the one day of notice will be screwed over for the following week. Though you're really just screwing over the entire guild since y'know... WvW is a team thing... Oh and since it seems Anet has forgotten. I seem to recall we just had a major balance update? Or am I misremembering? Cause people are still in the process of reworking their builds 🙄😑 Seriously, you really need to delay this beta by a week at least. This is just screwing over everyone.

I enjoy it. Though there are a few things I would change about it. A few examples... 1. When you get a fish on the hook you can tell from either looking at where the line was cast, or looking above your head. I would prefer an audio cue. I struggle with noticing both of those indications. If you have others on the same skiff this can become even harder to notice. 2. The time limit for losing the Fishing Party buff is too short. 3. Reaching 99 stacks in Fishing Party takes too long. Sure you can join a group on LFG specifically for that purpose. But realistically speaking this isn't all too likely. Unless you're fishing in a zone such as Crystal Oasis during the day, or Kaineng at night. Which are the two best for profit. Which leads me on to my next point... 4. If you're solo fishing, by the time you hit 99 stacks you're probably going to get hit with that map volunteer option. Even in maps such as the two mentioned previously. You spend an hour getting max stacks just to get hit by that. Leaving you with an hour time limit to volunteer. Which, when you do volunteer you lose those stacks. Not like you get a choice either. If you don't volunteer, you get kicked once that timer runs out. Honestly I would love it is the Fishing Party timer was upped to a minute or something similar. Even better if they also allowed us to carry our stacks between maps (ideally with the timer pausing while loading). Or if that's too much. At least let us keep the stacks if we volunteer to change map.

It'd be great to have the ability to keybind equipping the Prototype Position Rewinder, rather than going through the inventory to do it. Same with the White Mantle Portal Device

The PvE legendary armor can be obtained in a minimum of 5 weeks for the whole set. Yet in WvW a whole set would take a minimum of 22 weeks for Triumphant Hero, or even worse, 29 weeks for Mistforged. All that you'd need to do is either Take the repeated Diamond chests and give them skirmish tickets like the non-repeated Diamond chests. Have the entire Skirmish Reward Track loop once you finish the Diamond chests. Keeping the Skirmish Claim Tickets. As it is right now. There are plenty of WvW players that would like to play more, but don't due to how unrewarding it is once you've finished the weekly Skirmish Reward Track. So rather than continue, they stop for the rest of the week until reset due to not being able to earn those tickets. Not only would doing either of those two things make WvW much more rewarding to play, and more appealing. It would bring more activity to WvW itself. There's a reason each of the WvW maps are so full at the start of reset and the following day or two. It isn't difficult to fix or anything either. It could be implemented as a simple hotfix. I just hope that it happens and soon, and not waiting until after the alliance system is fully implemented.
