https://ibb.co/Kw64CqK See Picture. Today I found myself with Login + 3 dailies only. Everyone else got Login + 4 dailies.

Give 1 Legendary Relic to everyone who has 6(or more) Legendary Runes. Given that it is a 6th Bonus that is involved here, it is only fitting to do so. Meaning that people who had less than 6 Legendary Runes would not be benefitting/losing out on the 6th bonus anyway. Else, everyone else has to craft the new Legendary Relic.

All of the skills that got "fixed a bug with the number of Whirl Finishers" in today's patch are not producing Legendary effects with the extra Whirls(while using a Legendary obviously) So you end up with 4 Exordium and 2 Non-Legendary Whirl projectiles when using Guardian GS#2, while you end up with 1 Exordium and 5 Non-Legendary Whirl projectiles with Necro GS#3, etc Necro GS#2 is also doing only 2 Exordium Whirl projectiles. Also, Plaguelands is showing "Dark Field Combo border" visually, but it is not a Dark Field. Either make it a Dark Field, or remove the border.

Necromancer Focus#4 has been buffed during latest patch. It went from 2 ammo 15s recharge each to 3 ammo 12s recharge each. However, the Spite trait Spiteful Talisman changes Necromancer Focus#4 to its old pre-patch version. So by equipping Spiteful Talisman, Focus#4 end up with 2 ammo and 12 recharge each(20% reduced recharge thanks to the trait). This is even weaker than the new non-traited version, because you have 1 less ammo.

Harbinger hat too.

My Feedback: Dark Sentry Apply Rot Wallow Venom to allies you grant barrier to. Outgoing healing to allies is increased. For some reason, this trait does not give you a stack of Rot Wallow Venom when you apply Barrier to yourself, and it should. Please hear the logic why doing this would not be broken: Specters only have 3 sources of Barriers to self. 1) Entering Stealth(with Panaku's Ambition trait, which only grants Barrier upon entering of Stealth) 2) Using a Stealth Attack(with Panaku's Ambition trait, which only grants Barrier once) 3) Dawn's Repose(which only grants Barrier once) Then there are also possible Rune effects, which any Rune set out there only apply Barrier once by meeting very specific requirements. The sole exception is Rune of the Sanctuary, which can be disabled to work with Dark Sentry, just like it is currently disabled and does not work with Scourge's Abrasive Grit. So gaining just 1 stack of Rot Wallow Venom to yourself for the above uncommon occurrences would not be broken. Ally should include Self. Major Adept Choice You first Major trait selection has NO non-support option. Yes I get that Specter was designed to be support, but it should be able to go DPS as well when you are playing content solo. Second Opinion should simply be changed from A portion of condition damage is converted to healing power. Gain healing power, which is increased while wielding a scepter. to A portion of condition damage is converted to healing power. Gain condition damage, which is increased while wielding a scepter. Well of Tears This has to be the most useless and uninspired skill a Specter can have. Specter isnt even designed to do power dps. Give it something, a purpose, it can literally be anything. Maybe add Life steal? Maybe Corrupt boons like Necro's Well of Corruption? even just boon removal would give it a purpose. Maybe Converts conditions like Necro's Well of Power? or even just condi cleanse. Maybe make it give 1% Shadow Shroud every tick? or less than 1%. Scepter Auto The Scepter#1 auto is broken. It activates twice on the 3rd skill for whatever reason, which makes your attack like this: Shadow Bolt > Double Bolt > Triple Bolt > Triple Bolt > Shadow Bolt ... etc Also the 3rd skill is way too slow. 1st Auto = 0.75s(1 projectile) 2nd Auto = 0.75s/2(2 projectiles) = 0.375s per 3rd Auto = 1.5s/3(3 projectiles) = 0.5s per The 3rd Auto's cast should be reduced to either 1s/3 = 0.333s per, or 1.25s/3 = 0.417s per There should also be a Projectile Finisher(or at least a 20% Projectile Finisher chance) on this as well.

Hello Devs. As someone who has played GW2 everyday for 9 years and has not missed a single daily, I would like to provide some feedback. (I speak as an experienced player with 42.6k AP, all CMs cleared, G3/P1 PvP, 3k WvW) I propose some alterations to the Harbinger to fit the theme better and also provide more interesting gameplay. Main Condition: Harbinger's main condition should be Poison, not Torment. We've had enough of Torment already with Scourge, and Bleeding is covered by condi Reaper(even though nobody plays it in high-end content, it is still a high damage Bleeding-main build that exists). Burning exists as a side extra that all forms of Necro have access to, so keeping it as an extra on Harbinger too is fine. In the trailer itself, the Harbinger is literally described as shooting noxious bullets out of the Pistol, so Poison thematically fits more than Torment. Shroud: Tainted Bolts: Fire quick bolts of dark energy that explode on impact, inflicting poison(instead of torment) to enemies in the area. Dark Barrage: Fire six bolts of poisonous(instead of tormenting) energy that fan out from you, piercing all enemies in their path. Devouring Cut: Channel twisted energy to launch yourself at your foe, poisoning(instead of tormenting) nearby enemies. Pistol: Vicious Shot: Fire a poisonous(instead of tormenting) bullet that bounces between nearby foes. Weeping Shots: Pierce your enemies with a series of corrosive bullets, inflicting poison(instead of torment) and vulnerability. Gain life force for the first target hit by each bullet. Vile Blast: Fire a dart that shatters on impact, releasing noxious liquid that stuns, weakens, and torments(instead of poisons) foes in the area. Gain life force for each target struck. (Shots inflicting Torment does not make sense in the first place. You are physically hitting a target with a bullet, how does that have anything to do with their mind being tormented? Vile Blast could make sense to inflict torment/confusion instead because they get stunned from it though) Elixirs: Elixirs are currently uninspired, all of them are just boons+blight. The condition AoE from Vile Vials should be instead baseline integrated into the Elixirs, with different conditions on enemies depending on the theme of said Elixir. Elixir of Promise: Gain health, vigor, and life force. Inflict blight on yourself and Blind on nearby enemies. (Blinded by Promise) Elixir of Risk: Gain might and fury. Inflict blight on yourself and Taunt(1s) on nearby enemies. (Taunting multiple enemies close to you and directing their target to yourself is a big big risk, so this fits the name) Elixir of Anguish: Gain swiftness and quickness. Inflict blight on yourself and Chill on nearby enemies. (Cripple as an homage to GW1 skill Crippling Anguish also fits. Fear too, but that could be OP). Elixir of Bliss: Gain resolution and convert your conditions into life force. Inflict blight on yourself and Weakness on nearby enemies. Elixir of Ignorance: Gain resistance and break stuns. Inflict blight on yourself and Vulnerability(5) on nearby enemies. Elixir of Ambition: Gain all boons. Inflict significant blight on yourself and Slow on nearby enemies. Traits: All the traits are pigeon-holing into 111, 222, or 333 selections, not sure if this is intended. However, many of the traits are just uninspired stat increases. They should have a gameplay effect instead of all of them just being increased numbers. Vile Vials: Elixirs are now ground-targeted and affect allies with their respective boons and enemies with their respective conditions(see Elixirs section above). The Harbinger does not gain the boons if they are not within the area where the Elixir is thrown. The Blight only affects the Harbinger, and is gained regardless of whether the Harbinger is hit by the thrown Elixir or not. Twisted Medicine: Elixirs gain increased durations of their respective boons and conditions. Remove the concentration-gain-based-on-vitality portion of this skill. Elixir skills gain reduced recharge(moved from Vile Vials). Dark Gunslinger: Pistol skills gain reduced recharge. Poison you inflict lasts 20% longer. Remove the expertise-gain-based-on-vitality portion of this skill. Doom Approaches: Changed to Volatile Poisons: Poison you inflict deals increased damage. While in Harbinger Shroud, you gain an aura that pulses each interval to Poison and weaken nearby enemies. Remove the condition-damage-increase part. Wicked Corruption: Changed to Corruption Tolerance: Each Blight stack only reduces your maximum health by 1% instead of 2%. Deal increased strike damage for each stack of blight you have. Cascading Corruption: While in Harbinger Shroud, you gain an aura that damages, cripples, and applies a stack of Cascading Corruption to nearby enemies on every pulse. The aura does increased damage to enemies based on the number of stacks of Cascading Corruption already on them. Remove the Your-power-is-increased portion of this skill. Thank you for reading my feedback.

Thanks for that, I just noticed that myself a few minutes ago. Will update first post with this.

Found this picture on reddit: https://ibb.co/Wkc1jKH I think they should change the new 9th Birthday title instead, as people who already obtained the MO CM title long ago should not be impacted.

Yes, as explained above, the biggest problem is the Birthday Blaster overrides this one, effectively reducing the duration of your buff to 10mins instead. Anyone can troll you and shoot Birthday Blaster at you to reduce the duration of your buff.

This item gives you a 30mins buff. Birthday Blaster(10mins) and New Cake(30mins) have the same effect. This item cannot override existing food buffs on you. This item cannot override Malnourished debuff, the main purpose it is supposed to fulfill (say you have 5mins left in a fractal, you probably dont want to consume a 30mins food and would rather just eat free cake instead to get through that last part with a little bonus). This item cannot override/renew its own buff (meaning you have to wait 30minutes for it to expire, then you can renew it). If someone else uses the Birthday Blaster and you walk through their cake while you have the New Cake buff, the Birthday Blaster buff overrides this one. This reduces your buff from 30mins to 10mins (since Birthday Blaster's buff only lasts 10mins). If you try to eat the New Cake again while under Birthday Blaster's buff, it will not allow you to do so. Somehow, Birthday Blaster's buff takes priority over New Cake's buff. This means that effectively, any troll with the Birthday Blaster can shoot cakes at you and reduce your buff down to only 10minutes.

They just updated the Black Lion Weapons Voucher with some extra gemstore weapons, so some people might find skins they were waiting for in there. And before anyone asks: No, the Queensdale Wand Set is not in there, so if you were thinking of shelling out a whole 2400 gems for the 9th Anniversary Supply Drop Requisition just to get the wands, you are still out of luck, so save your gems and save your money. We are just 3 weeks away from being 1 year since this item was introduced and never seen again(it was introduced on the 15September2020) and we know it is not coming back in the next week(from Data-Mining).

Plaguelands mistakenly has the new dark purple border that is associated with Dark fields, but it is not a combo field. This is only a visual bug as finishers do not cause combos in Plaguelands.

Still no Queensdale Wand Set, even for Queen's Jubilee? Boo. Based on the newest patch datamine, it will be 11 Months and counting(in 3 weeks time) and those skin will still not have made a return to the gemstore. Meanwhile, the Queensdale Academy Outfit came back 3 times.

Not at all. I was the first to propose that having 2 different armor sets of the same weight should still get compensated(see other thread). But then, I saw what compensation other people actually got and I've made my peace with it. Two things: 1) It is still bad that almost everyone who made more Legendary Armors than they can wear got screwed over. 2) The compensation just made it so that most people got screwed over more equally rather than compensating anything. Your case is very unique(as in you made 2 Heavy Armors from different game modes) before you made other weights or Runes/Sigils. As far as I am concerned, you still deserve compensation(as do many others). We are not the worst case scenario for sure though. Consider people who made all 9 Legendary Armors(1 of each weight, 1 from each game mode) literally lost 6 Legendary Armors worth of mats with no compensation either. Let's hope someday ArenaNet does the right thing and give the Legendary WvW & PvP Armors their own unique skins, as is deserving of every Legendary.

It does not matter whether people are rich or poor, as long as they get the same results for the same/similar situation. To be honest, I cared more about being treated fairly/equally in this situation than whatever amount of gold lost. I guess after seeing what others got as compensation, this is mostly the case except for those who had 2 copies of Conflux.

I am the one who started the other thread. The biggest issue at hand was not really compensation. Although it seemed unfair at first, the compensation other players got was not much either(they got to pick a second set of Legendary Armor). Even among the 0.008%, it was unlikely that someone went out of their way to craft 2 sets of Legendary Raid Heavy Armor without owning a set for the other 2 armor weights as well. Therefore, most people who did get compensation got to choose a Legendary Armor from a different game mode instead. You have 1 Legendary Raid Heavy Armor, and 1 Legendary WvW Heavy Armor(with Ascended T3 skin). They have 2 Legendary Raid Heavy Armor, and get to pick between 1 Legendary WvW or PvP Heavy Armor(with Ascended T3 skin) instead. You end up in the same place in the end, see? They end up with at most an Ascended T3 WvW/PvP skin too. At the end of the day, most of us who crafted more Legendary Armors than possible got screwed for having wasted a Legendary Armor's worth of mats on nothing(since WvW/PvP do not have unique skins), with or without compensation. You could go case by case, but not many benefitted from the compensation. Those who somewhat benefitted were: 1) The ones who made 2 Conflux, as Conflux is not unique anymore, meaning they will get use out of both Conflux, yet they still got compensation. This is a clear Win, but they got at most 1 piece of Legendary other thing(unless they have more than 2 Conflux, which is unlikely). 2) The ones who had multiple same Legendary Armors but no Legendary Sigils/Runes. They got to pick a Legendary Sigil/Rune instead, which they could have crafted instead of a second set of same Armor. Not much of a Win either, but it is something. 3) The ones who had 2 WvW/PvP Legendary Armors of the same weight. They get to pick a Legendary Raid Armor(with Legendary skin) instead, without having to ever Raid. Could consider this a Win, but not really. They also end up in the same above mentioned place as you(with 1 Raid and 1 WvW/PvP Armor). 4) The ones who had say 2 sets of same Legendary Light Armor, but neither Medium/Heavy ones. They got to pick a different weight, but then they could have crafted that weight instead of 2 Light in the first place? Not a Win. The biggest issue is Legendaries we will (not) craft in the future. Consider that someone has Legendary Heavy Raid Armor. Going forward, post-Armory patch, they have 0 reasons to ever make Legendary Heavy WvW or PvP Armor(since they already have Legendary functionality) and the skin is just Ascended T3. So you just stop at Ascended T3 skin and transmute it for free onto your Legendary Heavy Raid Armor with the same results. This is not the same as having Warbringer and making Ad Infinitum, as even though you have Legendary Backpack functionality, crafting the other Backpack gets you a unique Legendary Backpack skin. What would you advise a new player who wants Legendary Armor to do? All new players who are aiming for Legendary Armor should strive for Legendary Raid Armor only, and then get only Ascended T3 WvW and PvP just for the skins, as this comes down cheapest for the same results. If they start by crafting the Legendary WvW/PvP Armor, then later start Raiding for the Legendary Raid Armor, they will also be paying an extra Legendary Armor worth of mats just like us, as the Legendary WvW/PvP Armor becomes redundant the moment they acquire the Raid one. Unless you absolutely renounce to Raids for the rest of your GW2 future, dont craft the Legendary WvW/PvP Armor(or accept wasting a Legendary Armor worth of mats twice for the same results). All in all, what we really need is unique Legendary skins for Legendary PvP and WvW Armors, just like every other Legendary counterparts out there(be it Bolt/ShiningBlade, Warbringer/AdInfinitum). Skins are half the reason why people make Legendaries, functionality being the other half.

1) 0.008% of players own more than 1 duplicate of a Legendary, it does not mean they are good or bad players. There are often plenty of good players who have just 1 copy of their Legendaries or with just Ascended gear, who are far better. But they just didnt invest in Legendaries because it is time/money consuming. The 0.008% tells us nothing on the amount of good players in GW2, it is actually closer to showing the amount of very rich players in GW2. 2) The Twisted Marionette is a new event(or rather a revamped old deleted event) that many did not get the opportunity to play in the past, or know the mechanics of. It has not even been 24hours and people who just came back from work just want in to try it out and enter without a single clue. It is normal that it fails a lot because people are still not up to par with information. Did you know that we did not kill Tequatl for almost 2 whole days when it was revamped back then? Give it some time and people will start figuring it out. Then people will be on autopilot doing it just like Tequatl. 3) You do not need to play around with many builds or be extremely good to clear the Twisted Marionette. It does not even come close to the DPS check of a Raid boss, it is actually very lenient. So lenient that my Staff Reaper(by far the very worst DPS weapon a Necromancer can have) can clear a platform, it is that low of a requirement. You just have people messing around right now instead of doing the event correctly, and the way the event was designed(indeed a questionable decision) is that if a single 1 of the 5 platforms wipes(the one or two players on it die), then that event fails. The way the commanders are organizing this is not helping either. They are putting 10 people in each of the 5 lanes, then the 10 people are being paired in random pairs. You would be hard put to find 25 great players who can clear this on the first day of release, let alone having each of these 25 paired correctly with a less good player so they can manage to clear each platform. It is bound to happen that 2 less good players get paired and wipe(thus wiping the event). Again, questionable design decision. 4) The Seraph Wings Backpack will come for Statuettes about 6 months after it was released, that is usually when they put it there. I give you an example, you can try to estimate for yourself: Shimmering Aurora Cape was released on 13 December 2020, and came back for Statuettes on 25 May 2021. You do the math, but as you can see Seraph Wings Backpack still have a few more months to it. I hate this too, I want it too, I am also still frustrated that my keys did not get it, and I am also patiently waiting for it to come back, but I know it is not coming back that soon. 🥺

Rune of Tormenting is working, my combat log says so and I see green numbers.

This has already been addressed and explained by ArenaNet.

That statement is correct. You equip Legendary Sword Bolt in Mainhand of Weaponset1 and nothing else in Offhand, so here's the 1st copy. You equip Legendary Sword Bolt in Offhand of Weaponset2 and nothing else in Mainhand, so here's the 2nd copy. You end up with Bolt/Bolt, and when you weapon swap you end up with Bolt/Bolt again. Your sigils activate based on "when you press weapon swap", not when the weapon you are wearing actually goes into/out of your character's hands as per say, so they will indeed still activate when you go from Bolt/Bolt to Bolt/Bolt.

Hmm no. In Weaponset1 you put only Mainhand Dagger with 1 Sigil of Cleansing. In Weaponset2 you put only Offhand Dagger with 1 Sigil of Endurance. And you're all set.

Sorry but my previous comment was not aimed at you, but at OP who came back after 7 years, therefore has at most 2 years of experience in the whole game(because the game is not 9 years old yet, go figure), so I dont think they have really tried out all of the game modes much based on the length of time they played, especially since they gave the impression of being a casual. Let's agree that, if you did try all of the game modes and still decide some of them are just not for you, you have every right to do so and we all respect that. But the rewards are set based on what the devs think is the correct amount of effort in a certain direction to obtain them, as is the case for every game out there. The word reward itself implies effort, otherwise the correct word to use is gift. If they cannot find a game mode that they like, and unlike you they are also not willing to put any effort towards the currently available rewards, and they are also not having fun or their fun is being ruined because they cannot attain said rewards, then the game might simply just not be for them.

To be technical with you, all Legendary Armors are crafted. They just require mats from different places(game modes) and you have to do different things to get them. I understand to having a preference for a certain game mode over another, I was like that too. Just to give you an idea, 4 years ago, all I did was World Bosses and literally refused to step foot in Fractals, Raids, PvP and only did WvW for quick dailies. I kept saying that these game modes were simply not for me when people asked me to join them. I have now tried each game mode since then and I can personally tell you there is fun to be had in each of them, especially if you have/make friends along the way. What I am really trying to say here is dont diss the game modes before really trying them out. Regarding PvP There is a certain Bronze Ranked one handed(lost a hand) player who clicks all of their skills(even auto-attack) during PvP and holds both mouse buttons to run forward. This player is now 3 wins away from getting enough Tournament Victories for Transcendence(PvP Legendary Amulet) after 5 months of working on it. If they can do it, so can you. Regarding WvW You follow the commander, you listen to their instructions, you'll get your Legendary after a while. If they tell you to build you do so. If they tell you to run away, you do so. No you will not win every fight, such is the game mode. Regarding Raids Join a training group first and start with the easiest Raid bosses(Escort and Mursaat). You might not get your first kill for a few weeks as people are still learning(and so are you), but it will happen eventually. Once you have a few kills down, you move to other bosses. This is what EVERYONE has done since the introduction of Raids in HoT. They killed Vale Guardian in Wing1 then moved on to Gorseval then to Sabetha. Also, it does not require that level of dedication that people claim it does. Dont look at the Legendaries as a chore/grind to do. Take your time to enjoy the game and the Legendary will happen someday. Remember, you took a 7 year break. Trying to bridge the gap between you and someone who has played during those 7 years is a daunting task. Dont ask for an easy way out as there isnt one and wont be one.

Eh, you know how it is, people dont have sympathy or feel anything until they themselves end up in said situation, then they are the first one to shout about it when they lose something. That's how the world works in general. 😄 As you already know(and mentioned by ArenaNet), the people affected by this are about 0.008% of the GW2 community lol, so it's normal that most people dont even recognize an issue that does not concern them.
