[Confer with Bangar not Bangaring (every 2 weeks)]

Sooo... Confer with Bangar worked exactly once. First checkmark, it's been 2 resets and like 30+ hours and second 'return to the eye of the north at a later time' is not unlocking.Is this once a week or once a month or do we need to do something secret to make it progress? Or is this broken?

Update: After two weeks it progressed one step (on Tuesday August 11th)

[Get rid legendary stuff from pvp]

I did the whole 'win 120 matches to get emblem of victory' because I wanted legendary amulet (and you can't get it any other way but via PvP, at least for now -- maybe in a year they'll add PvE way of doing it?). I am not sure me 'participating' in whole 5v5 PvP thing was a good thing, I just piss PvP-ers off. It's either a winning streak or losing streak (8+ losses in a row) and way too often 'sit in queue for 7 minutes, get 500-to-100 match' and seeing literally same people over and over and over again -- this match you get the revenant+fb duo, next match the opponent gets the same revenant+fb duo. And then someone never-ending pinging on the map and raging in chat. There were a few friendly matches, but ironically they also had PvE-ers doing PvP because they had to.

I ended up moving from bronze 2 to gold 2, but it wasn't in any way fun and yeah, I'm not going to come back until something else PvE oriented requires PvP participation. I think it would be better if there was an equivalent for every legendary in every game mode. That way if you want an amulet you don't have to do PvP and could do WvW or PvE instead. That probably would make more people happy. But I presume the reason for requirement was to purely pump up numbers of 'participants' in PvP. Otherwise queues would be even longer, I guess?

[Warclaw mount+movement problem]

Whenever I mount up on warclaw while running/moving in any direction, there's 90% chance it will veer into random wrong direction. Like almost every single time. Why? Can I turn that off? I just want to continue riding in the same direction I was running.It doesn't matter if I had anything clicked or not, I mouse-click (left mouse button) mount button, and it happens. Also it feels like camera gets disconnected from it (i.e. if I turn left/right camera continues to look in the same direction, I have to right-click mouse to 're-connect' it, which is funny because in control options I don't have anything connected to right-click)

What I am doing wrong? How can I stop it?

[Raven Barrier Shrine repels friendly NPCs]

If you activate the Raven Barrier Shrine in new map it works on friendly NPCs as well as enemies. For example if it's active by keep's entrance, Aja will keep bumping into it when moving from site 1 to site 2, or trying to return. Works on Braham too. I presume this shouldn't happen

[Upcoming Changes to Fall Damage and Revival]

Necromancer

• Terrifying Descent: This trait has been reworked. It has been renamed to "Insidious Disruption". It now causes control effects to inflict torment on foes.
• Signet of Undeath: Reduced recharge to 75 seconds in all game modes. Reduced cast time from 3 seconds to 1.5 seconds. Reduced number of allies revived from 3 to 1. Added additional health cost of 50% of base health to this skill. Increased passive lifeforce gain by 100%.

For pve heal scourges could it please retain 3 targets? Give 15% health cost per target to have overall same cost but please don't nuke pve players for WvW sins (the whole either self or shade already made heal scourge worse -- it could have been 10 targets self, 5+5 if shade is present for pve only)

[Any groups doing Istan events?]

I've been trying to find any groups doing Domain of Istan events but LFG in NA is basically empty, and map has a handful of people (so things like Stop the Caravan event simply fail every time as 2-3 people is not enough). Are there any groups doing meta ?

[BUG: Balthazar temple stalls due to loop in Warmaster Shadowstriker path]

Ran into this stall today: when by Royal Forum Waypoint -- position of the submarines got to be such that one is directly underneath the Warmaster Shadowstriker.

Warmaster swims down to destination, gets into submarine's interior box and gets insta-ported to the surface. Rinse, repeat, infinite loop :(

[SE P1 Recipe: The Replicator]

Aside from desire to collect rare things, is there a practical reason to get the replicator? It doesn't seem to be part of any collection or achievement, is it?

[Elitism - Mass Discussion Thread]

For cases where "new" raid-like fractals (Twilight Oasis) are the dailies it's, basically, by design. They are meant to be for more organized groups and yes, bleed over from fractals into "need chrono and healer", so we get that. Random group can still do it, but requires more skilled players, who probably would rather have it done quickly than suffer through multiple wipes.

Easiest way is to just try and avoid particularly demanding groups and stick to Food/pots. In off hours any group LFGs are scarce these days so, might make sense to do a healing druid just for fractals and thus always be wanted.
