While I do agree balance needs to be a priority in competitive modes, I absolutely enjoy power creep in open world. This is especially true as fewer players come to certain metas, etc. That being said, I'd always like the latest xpac to reset the balance of players to feel underpowered within those maps.

It's like having HP trains on the new maps, only worse.

I would like a Dev event, where dev's jump on their characters and participate with us.

Getting the mastery itself is the power. Not sure we need anything more than that.

I wish I could give you some of mine! Once I found an appearance I liked I never changed. They just accumulate over the years!

I had a similar experience, the meta finished and the map closed on me when I was trying to solo the story t2. I understand your frustration. You know, just try to do it again and before you go to the t2 rift spot just send out a message in map chat asking for assistance. I think you'll get a few people to come help.

Sigh....this update is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Can anyone believe Anet when it comes to prioritizing WvW? The soliciting event ideas was a nice touch, give the players something to talk about other than the fact that there is nothing concrete in this update. Anet has no bandwidth to implement new event ideas. They couldn't even fix the activities they have before putting them into the Dailies. In my opinion, if they truly cared one bit about what players want, they would write an update that addresses specific topics they are seeing on the forums and other social platforms. We didn't need an update to know there are seasonal events (as there have been every year), we didn't need an update that said an update was coming Sept 26 (was already posted on the forums). The only important thing I got from this was the hybrid office callout, which I guess can be taken to be an explanation of why the xpac format changed.

I don't think they'll do this since the whole system was taken from the gem shop and not the vendor system. I agree, though, that it can be quite tedious to click the lower value stuff dozens of times.

I agree with this too. This would be a great way to let people chip away at this over a long period of time just by doing metas.

I agree with you on this, fishing isn't all that relaxing. The design has junior programmer written all over it. Also, I doubt they've fished in real life, ever. There are countless ways they could have made fishing different from other games and still made it fun and relaxing.

They should just put it behind SOTO paywall like they did with the Legendary Starter Kit. They will absolutely sell fewer bag slots if they do this so they will need to make the money back somehow.

The reward tracks go pretty fast now. I honestly am surprised at how quickly the GoB's are adding up.

Probably cheaper to just go gold->gems->bag slot.

Yeah, I clicked a few items that were used in recipes and it didn't do anything other than open an empty window. 😞

They weren't ready when the xpac launched.

I agree, they have always been my favorite legos. I was pretty disappointed with some of the Gen2. The Gen3 at least had an option for picking the look you liked the best, but nothing matches the greatswords from Gen1 imo.

Still my favorite holiday event.

Activities are pretty weak regardless. I mean, I have consistently zoned in only to have the activity over and I get credit for doing nothing other than talking to the person in LA. 😕

I honestly don't mind, she keeps me company as I solo.

Honestly, the whole situation is going to get worse not better. At some point, the grinders will no longer need essences and things will start to become more difficult. You can see this in some of the Aurora/Vision stuff.

Yeah, I like that they will fix it, but why are they so slow when we have to spend weeks/months sometimes with this stuff? I wish they'd take it more seriously.

This one was a complete bust on Anet's part. The reward for doing this should have been an extra mastery track with a special skill.

Yeah, I run it in WvW and I notice no speed increase when in combat.

Honestly, I'd take *any* new WvW map. I'm so tired of the current ones.

I would love mod support, but I have no issue with the UI beside some small QoL changes.
