What is actually even worse is that I did get Realm Avenger completed and was REALLY disappointed that my kills after completion did not get added to the Realm Avenger II. It started at zero. Completely heartbreaking.

I'm so glad you picked up on that. Repairing a wall is VERY MUCH a defense of an objective and so is doing any damage to any player within the colored area on the map of that objective. While you might not win, you are VERY MUCH defending and that is what any of the defense daily and weekly and star bucks' achievements should reward.

I don't mind the expanded achievements. I am just a couple of weeks away from Ultimate Dominator and I know several people who have already achieved it and will welcome the additional opportunity in achievements. People need things to work toward and the fact that these achievements will include continued play progress even though there was no achievement is wonderful. What is NOT wonderful is the breadth of the new tiers. It took me 12 years to get to the final Realm Avenger Ultimate Dominator Achievement because I play the whole game, not just WvW. It MEANT something!!!! It will take me another 12 years to get to the next 250 and another 12 to get to the last. If I live long enough, I will be 84 years old when that happens. What I would have wanted was for achievable tiers after getting to Ultimate Dominator. Go ahead and leave that at 250K, but then subsequent tiers could be 5 AP for every tier after at 100k kills each with a title at 500 and a title at 750 or even 1M if you wanted. I liked that there were long term goals to shoot for but a lot of people that I run with will struggle to ever reach the 250k. This addition is a nonstarter for them. The other thing that left me wanting on this was that the only WvW achievement to get love was the killing players achievement. What about the taking objectives achievements? The new expanded achievements encourage only blob killing and doesn't encourage taking and defending objectives at all. I'll also use the opportunity to ask that repairing as defense of an objective be rethought as it makes total sense that I can stall attackers by repairing to allow my team to get to an objective. The current having to kill a player in a defense only results in a successful defense about 30% of the time where repairing counted correctly 100% of the time. That change punished all players who were doing the right thing to take care of a few who were not. Please re-think some things.

Do you play on NA or EU? I play on NA What team were you on during January 12-26? Stonefall What team were you on during January 26-February 2? Thornwatch If there is a day of the week and time of day you usually play, what are they? Weekends morning to primetime, Weekdays before noon and during prime time. Did your world restructuring matchups feel more or less balanced than your regular WvW Server matches? Far less balanced. Did you select a WvW Guild for the beta? Yes Was your guild part of a larger alliance guild? Yes. It seems that you won't need to come up with a UI for alliances because most have sorted this out in the current guild system. That said, if this is the way forward, I'd like to beg you to allow 5 more guild slots on the guild panel. They would absolutely fit in the existing panel there is nothing below the existing guild list that we need. People need guild slots for a growing number of game modes like pvp, raid, sand farming, normal wvw guild, main guild, personal guild and a host of other guild need reasons and now more than ever they need a wvw alliance guild. Several of my guildies had to drop a guild they have been in for years to join the alliance guild so they could run with us on beta. That felt really bad. There's no reason not to allow players to be a part of 10 guilds and to select the chats to show as we do now. Were there usually commanders around during your normal playtime? Other than in the early morning the entire beta was a ghost town for tags to follow during the day. Which week felt most balanced and enjoyable for you? I spent the first two weeks waiting for the reshuffle thinking it couldn't have gotten worse, and it did. I'm so glad this beta is over. What part of world restructuring felt the most well executed? All of my guildies ended up in the correct guild and no one was kept from running with us. At a minimum, this was the most important to me and my guild. What part of world restructuring feels like it has the most room for improvement? Teams were dead. WvW felt dead in the daytime and on weekends. Prime time was a bit better. I'm glad you are continuing to work on it and that you asked about the experience. Even though mine wasn't good, I did notice that other teams where VERY populated and I'm sure they had fun. Keep trying things.

This is really the right thing to happen. Anyone working with a GM at the moment, whether they agreed to the previous deal or not should get exactly how many GOLDEN keys they were burned on. This is just doing the right thing. I've been watching this post and I just knew that if this was reviewed the right thing would happen.

I just completed the Cosmic Observatory strike mission and I had not yet cleared it for the week. It was fresh for this week. The wizards vault grayed it out and it is showing 0/1 even though I did complete it successfully. I never had the opportunity to accept my 400 acclaim and I was not capped for acclaim.

Event is spawning fine.

This is fixed. Ran it yesterday morning and everyone got it no problems.

Seems to me if players now are getting both for just doing the fight one time that those of us who had it before should just get it automatically. We shouldn't have to do the fight again. Code it that if you don't have the first one that you get credit for both when you complete. If you have the first one you just get auto credit for both. If you have both you get no added credit for AP. I feel like they usually fix stuff faster than this. Wonder what the issue is. Feeling kinda punished for doing it when it was available now.

Why can't a requirement to type a "I am not a robot" code from the UI into a box in the queue in order to queue up be added to the game?

Quality of Life 1. Character select needs to allow me to sort ALL of my toons to a single page view with a number of toons in a number of rows that I can select. I need to be able to move them from one row to another to sort them based on how I play/use them in order to find them quickly and to quickly identify how many I need for another purpose or what ones I can free up to do something else. When you have 70 toons clicking through that panel to get the one you want is monotonous. 2. Permanent Bank, TP, Merchant need to be made account accessible. If I have these items on my account I should have an icon on the bottom of my inventory to launch them. They shouldn't take up my shared slots. Also, I need 10 more shared slots than what is available now. 3. NPC that trades Black Lion items for other Black Lion items. Specifically, Black Lion Salvage Kits, Black Lion Trading Posts, Repair Canisters, Merchant Expresses, Bank Access Expresses, Upgrade Extractors, and any of the Passes. I want to be able to trade any one of these items for any one of another or one for a Black Lion Statuette so I can select an item that will be useful for me when I have a permanent version of one of these or just to many of any of one. 4. Dye templates – On all dye application panels (mounts, armor, outfits) there is Dye Template #1, Dye Template #2, Dye Template #3 each with a respective checkbox. When you want to set up your dye combo for your holiday look you can click on Dye Template #1 and then set it up. Do the same on Template #2 for, say, your WvW look, and maybe Template #3 for your PvE dye choices. Once set up you check the box and swap between saved templates quickly. 5. Add a very irritating repeating sound to Squad Ready Check that continues endlessly until a player selects Ready or until the ready check is cancelled when in a raid instance. 6. Guild Kite Vendor has been missing in action for years. I have about 30 remaining Guildies who still have the illustrious guild kite with our emblem on it. These made excellent gifts to Guildies during holidays and guild celebrations….guild kites are sadly missed. 7. Add Mystic Black Lion Salvage Kit forge or crafting recipe Something like 3 Black Lion Salvage Kits and something from Myani’s list gives you 100 kits in a single stack. 8. Library On the hero tab there should be a line called Lore like where you have the mini’s and outfits. I have about a billion books that I've collected in story or events and they take up a large amount of room. I need those books to be collection based like the minis so I can click in the panel and select the ones I have to read back on so I can have my space back. 9. Self-Style Hair Kits Need to be redesigned to be a Single Attribute Makeover Kit. Total Makeover kit’s let you rework several or all attributes of your toons appearance while the Hair Kit points just to hair, but there is no other kit available to just let you redo your eyes, or your height. It is irritating to have to use a total makeover kit to get at just one attribute that isn’t hair. I’d like to see the Self-Style hair kit become a single attribute kit that include hair as one of any of the options available in the total kit that you want to change. 10. Place of Power needs to capture Quartz Crystals from my bank or my collection. I should not have to have quartz crystals in my inventory slots to support making a charged quartz crystal. 11. Consume All for Notarized Scrolls of Heroics, Tomes of Knowledge, WvW and PvP potions 12. Player Counter in options to show how many players are in the game at the current time. Also include a player counter on the corner of the mini map to tell me how many players are on the current instance of the map I am on. 13. Advanced Mail: Don’t suppress my mail ever when I’m mailing guild members. Allow me to mail groups of members with a checkbox selection by guild rank, friends, etc. like how the gifting check boxes work in the TP

Guild and Guild Hall: 1. Guild slot expansion I need to be able to be in a total of 15 guilds vs the current 5. I want to be in a guild that has each guild hall for fishing (4) and my raid guild (1) and my fractal guild (1) and my guilds that run on specific maps for Triple Trouble, Dry Top, RBA, etc (4), my personal guild storage (1) my WvW alliance guild (1) and my PvP guild (1). You can extend them down on the guild panel where they currently are and get rid of the Guide Index which serves no purpose at all. 2. Permanent Guild Hall instance expansion Allow me to apply the change to a guild I lead and will permanently expand the instance of my guild hall to 50/100/150. I want all of my guildies to be able to get into the same instance and not have to leave and reenter to accomplish it. When we are running group events in the guild hall it is such a dis-satisfier to have to stop everything because the instance is changing to accommodate one arriving player or one leaving. 3. Guild Rank Expansion: The current number of ranks is locked at 10 and in a larger guild that is limiting. I’d like to see the limit increased to 15. The number of permissions to assign to ranks has grown over time to currently 32 permissions but there were no additions of Rank Slots to support those additional Roles these permissions could support. I like to advance ranks of my guildies to add unique responsibilities. I also like to apply ranks at times to groups of guildies just for fun. If you have created all 10 allowable ranks there is a blank space below that list that can easily accommodate 5 more ranks. We will also need a minimum of 3 emblems to apply to them as well. 4. Advanced Scribe Deco License so that 400 Level Scribe Creations in my guild hall are interactive and functional for any repping guild member. Some examples: Winter’s Day Trees should each be gatherable for a gift during the time the festival is active….or all year for that matter if we want to keep them out somewhere. The globe (of disappointment) that cost a gift of exploration to make should list differing waypoints weekly, one per each world map. Guildies can go to that waypoint on interacting with the globe. The cornstalks should have candy corn gatherable. The snowmakers should allow gathering of snowflakes. If the guild is willing to produce the mats to make these very expensive items I’d like to see the items give back…slowly. To control the farm, allow a player to be able to only farm 1 of each advance crafting item located in a guild hall per day. 5. Favor Convertor I LOVE that guildies can choose their buffs at the tavern based on what they are doing. I'd like a favor convertor that can be permanently applied at the tavern host that will allow me to select that our favor earned from missions increase the number of buffs guildies can carry at a time. This incentivizes a guild to complete missions every week. If I toggle this to "ON" (checked) in the guild pane, the favor would come out of our favor stash for the week at mission reset. 1 buff is default as it is now at no favor cost. The guild leader would select at the vendor from a menu 2 buffs=300 favor, 3 buffs =500 favor, 4 buffs = 700 favor, 5 buffs= 900 favor, 6 buffs = 1100 favor, 7 buffs = 1300 favor, 8 buffs= 1500 favor and all 9 buffs = 1700 favor per week. The favor is extracted from your guilds favor when missions reset. If there is not enough favor to support the license purchased then your guild will revert to just being able to take the default 1 buff until your guild leader makes a selection that your guild can afford and that will stay as the weekly until a new selection is made or you end up at default again because of low favor. During times when you know you want to stack your favor up for anticipated guild hall additions you can turn it off and allow your favor to build up. 6. Placeables Right now if you add the “Use Placeables” permission to a rank it is all or none and it governs all of them. The 4 categories of Storage need to be separated for the purposes of assigning permissions to use them to appropriate ranks and they need to be added to the permissions in ranks. This area in the guild pane needs to be separated to the categories it is comprised of in the available rank permissions. So “Use Placeables” should be replaced by “Use Banners” “Use Misc.”, “Use Siege” and “Use Guild Deco” (this last one gives those with the perm on their rank the perm to use the placeable deco to advance scribing, not to decorate). I want to encourage a brand new member to the guild to pursue scribe crafting if they want and allow use of decorations (which is a placeable) to them for advancing crafting. I want to allow use of consumables meaning Banners, Misc. and Siege (placeables) to higher ranked guild members only. 7. Assembly Device is a hostage situation: Allow me to type in how many of an item on the left panel I want to put into the assembly device. If I need a stack of catapults I am currently hostage to stand there and load that machine for an entire evening. I don’t care if it takes the same amount of time to produce them. Just don’t make me stand there. 8. Customizable Esa / Workshop Proprietor Panel: Once your guild hall is built you have all of these vendors hanging around that server virtually no purpose. I’d like to see them have some ongoing value if they are going to take up space. I'd like to see a panel added to the workshop proprietor that includes every material required for every guild deco. The guild bank would have a panel added to hold all of this material looking much like your personal materials storage. When a guild leader checks an item in the list at the Workshop Proprietor it then shows on Esa the Frugal’s panel. Guildies would see just those items needed in his window and be able to donate into the guild hall vs sending them to a person. Also, things that are needed like the gift of exploration, that can't be mailed, can still be donated using this feature for scribe crafting. Once added, the items are free to be used for deco crafting just like the placeable deco are available. 9. Add festival music to guild hall music selections. We already have SAB music, but we don’t have Winter’s Day, Lunar NY or Halloween music to select as an option.

Well, never mind....it's an additional character slot.......not a shared slot. Bummer

I figured that it would include the one with the boost in it. The previous expansions did this. What I'm curious about is they are offering a reduced cost shared slot as an add on item in the store where you buy the expansion. I'm wondering if that will ALSO make an additional slot? I don't want to miss this potentially limited opportunity to get an additional slot if it's for real.

I would like the character select page changed to allow all 70 of my toons to show on the page, without me having to scroll through them. This is click....click....click....annoying. Allow them all to display on the page and allow me to move them around so I can sort them to my liking. A super simple thing you can do that can add so much quality and save me so much time to get to the ones I want rapidly.
