Not at all.

As a WvW enthusiast I would be very disappointed if I could not collect the whole set though. I want to collect all the items tied to WvW. Think of all the poor people with ocd 🙂

Yeah I was initially caught out by this too until I saw where it was in traits, I was assuming it was going to be baked as part of sbeast defaults and not as a trait.

I am trying to go and "Visit the Omphalos Chamber" when I get this issue and am unable to progress. Edit: Ok, so trying it on the character won't work even if you restart the game client. What I did was when I got back in, I change to another character, then go back to the character with the problem and I was able to get in the Omphalos chamber.

When I was getting this error, I tested multiple browsers, disabled addons, adblockers and my pi-hole. Tried in game too, so I knew it was something else. What you have to do is contact support because it is something on the lines of, "your purchase attempts were caught in our general security checks and purchase limits" - or at least in my case it was, so if it was the same case for anyone else, the customer support person should be able to get it settled once they get in contact with you. I hope you people are able to get it sorted as I did.

Probably a different matter, but I'm not even getting the auth emails on either NA/EU right now Edit: NA side is finally sending it to me now

The best new bug I've seen with queues (normally it either randomly kicks you from it/when you reach 1 it re-enters into queue without any interaction involved/kicks you into character select/kicks you out of game client/let's you click enter but didn't do anything or puts you back into queue), this time it actually increased my queue number without doing anything. I went from #my_number to #my_number+more while I was waiting. It was very thrilling to see but I hope it doesn't start occurring with regularity - at least the increasing queue bug one.

Some of us are already aware of that issue and seen our isps redirect traffic already during this last month, this is something in the last week which could still be related so still keeping an eye out. Reason I'm still 50/50 is because afaik my 4g takes the same route that is taken by my fiber optic yet has no problem. I will double check. Extra info: if you are from s.e.a. (Malaysia specifically), you can check this thread to see what's been going on, or at least what is being discussed about it over in this forum post

NA side still has logging issues on my end. Using Unifi from E. Malaysia. Possibly routing issue however I am able to login most of the time, but trying to get on maps outside of armistice bastion usually yields routing/network failure error message ("The inability to connect to Guild Wars 2 may be caused by internet routing issues or a server network failure"). I do not have any issues with EU. Using Celcom 4g I also have no problem getting into the NA servers, so this is possibly a routing issue from Unifi, but I will keep checking for other issues. I usually notice this problem when I login, and checking resource monitor on Win10 (right click taskbar->task manager->performance tab->click bottom where it says "Open Resource Monitor" and then look at the TCP connection section and also Network Activity side) I know I will have a problem if I can only connect to 2 aws servers, because when you usually login you connect and negotiate with 3 servers (or at the very least 2, and the other one is just for the front page stuff at launcher). Anyways I will keep updating here if anything happens to change.

I'm actually having issues reaching the NA login servers now. Edit: finally got in by changing to a diff authsrv, but still laggy

Every server will have a pitfall every now and then. I never moved servers but I have a few alt accounts on both na/eu and this cycle is all over the place and happens with quite some regularity, especially so during a relinks or certain matchup. I don't know where on eu you could go that would suit your timezone or playstyle without being on opposite sides of the spectrum (in terms of stacked/non-stacked or people willing to fight/scout/defend). What timezone you play?

Update: Same thing happening exactly around same time again - a week or so before the next beta comes. What's going on? More transparent server tests in the background in wvw or what?

First one I used on gw2 was a Razer DeathAdder 2013. The only reason I stopped using it was because of the actual mouse shell had broke where the screws are. I can actual still use it if I find another donor shell from a broken one. The second mouse I used with gw2 is a Logitech g600. The model I had in particular was the buggy one which did not work with ANY mouse pad but worked fine on melamine or textured plastic folder surfaces. The left click started having issues so I replaced the micro switch myself (I suggest you all learn how to replace them as well, because all modern mouse switches have problems). The only other problem I have with this mouse it's it hurts to hold it after a while of 'clawing'. This is still my current mouse but I also have a g502 hero and the vertical mouse that you see in the new matrix lol (zelotes c-18) which I am going to mod the thumbstick into 4 buttons. It's comfortable but it's weird to get used to in the beginning but I would like to start playing with it after I get to mod the extra buttons on it. I'd like to try the scimitar though, I heard it's comfy enough with lots of the buttons I need. For now it's g600 all the way though, I'm mostly happy with it.

I don't know if it's the same similar problem I had, but it was basically thrashing my I/O and it still comes around even after I got a new ssd on the 16th this month. If you know how to check processes (I use Process Lasso for this), you can see cpu usage, mem usage, i/o and other things happening you'll be able to see what's happening with the gw2 client. You should more or less be able to see the same information with the free program Process Explorer https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer. Maybe that can help point you to the source of the issue. I've been having this problem rock up just a couple of weeks before the recent WvW beta happened, and it is still present until now. It goes away when you switch maps, but comes back on the same map and it will keep looping this behaviour until you restart your game client.

Hm, the way it currently works, how many ambushes could be set off in a specific amount of time like 10s? Anyone tested it before the beta stopped?

For my untamed disabler builds I usually have absorption sigil to help with some of the boon removal along with my hammer and pet skills so I generally don't run into this problem. What is your build like?

Usually visual tells will have an accompanying sound, and it also helps those with specific impairments.

It definitely needs some visual popping enough to notice it from the periphery of vision. It reminds me of what they did with brake lights in general - people are more apt to noticing a blinking red light than a static one. I sometimes even miss it when I'm trying to directly look at it during a fight, especially with the tight window you need to pull the ambush off.

Update: it is more pronounced now with the alliances beta active

Whilst I can agree that some things need tweaks, I'm also more or less comfortable with untamed in wvw ATM. Just like people hated mainhand dagger, I made that work for me just like I'm going to do with the hammer. I'm doing the same thing with the other elites as well, but if things are changed, que sera sera. If anything gets changed though, I hope it's for the better and not the other way.

Yeah the icon definitely threw me off in the beginning - it's like, am I in unleashed or do i f5 to go unleashed to go with what the icon is showing. In the end since they changed the CD on unleashed I just toggle and see where the green swirl is, or just refer to my pet skills instead of that icon above endurance. Needs a more distinctive icon between the two, and perhaps color or shade difference. The unleashed CD change really made a difference for me. I'm using untamed more just from that change alone. I would definitely appreciate it if normal hammer and unleashed hammer CDs were separated (not like vindicator flip skills, just seperate CD between two) so one is available when you toggle. Make unleashed hammer more distinct when active like guardian virtue (not exactly same, just pop out more so you can see it in your peripheral vision). Ps - in wvw I have to build really kittenous just to get a hit on ambush, not liking it for me or my enemy lol

I just wish they'd make keybind templates for each char/class as it looks like it's going to be a mandatory for me to do so outside of the gw2 client. That said, I am kind of getting used to the hammer mechanics now (I won't comment on whether they are good or bad, there is enough feedback everywhere), I am just accepting what is there for the moment and let the more knowledgeable people sort it out. I've made some pretty weird builds with it, but I've had to put more thought into it due to the lesser escape potential (at least compared to sbeast etc). I will say once you find a nice keybind setting for untamed, it becomes easier and palatable. Being able to toggle unleashed on demand is very satisfying for me. This would of course be a hurdle for those not used to all the switching constantly but it will grow on them. I don't mind if it gets changed, I will accept that challenge too. I did the same thing with soulbeast dagger, and I'm still running around WvW with my melee sbeast build.

Ahh. I actually had pretty good luck with it the way I used it which would always hit or use as a disengage. I didn't have an issue with the direction it would go and it felt really good. I didn't really care much about the duration of the fear changes, just the way it went from a kind of dash to a g.target leap just feels clunky with the gameplay, especially with 3/4 cast time for only a 450 range movement. Shroud 2 reminds me of shadow flare, which as we know doesn't get a whole much of usage - at least I imagine it won't be a mainstay for use in wvw but I suppose we'll see. I didn't really give much thought about ss5 because it worked for the use case scenario I used it in the previous beta, but I'd accept any changes to that, given it went in the right direction lol.

Out of curiosity, what game mode are you using specter in?

Ahh, then it's good on your end, but not mine haha. I am still training it in but I still prefer the older one. It ends up being a little iffy in WvW.
