[gift of battle reward track for pvp please]

i wish it were in pvp too, but i understand anet wants to incorporate wvw into the legendary-making experience

[Update Regarding Issue With Maguuma's Treads Skin]

Can I be compensated for the week I wasn't able to log in. I only want my log in rewards for those days and the free self-style hair kit that I wasn't able to log in and claim.

[Crashing when applying new Maguuma Treads]

i can't believe this is stil not fixed. probably had so few sales of the boots, they feel like not a lot of people are affected, so it's not worth their time. so pretty much a big F you to the people that support the game by buying skins.

[Crashing when applying new Maguuma Treads]

I still am unable to log in

[Crashing when applying new Maguuma Treads]

So anet dev team ignore the thread on the official forums and goes to twitter instead to post that they are working on it. how long would it have taken to say "we're working on it" on this thread. it's just rude at this point.

[Crashing when applying new Maguuma Treads]

Day 3: i still can't get pass the character select screen. Game instantly crashes

[Crashing when applying new Maguuma Treads]

@Xenos.5916 said:tested after the new build ..still an issue

same. just checked. still can't get pass character screen. not even a post about trying to resolve this from the dev team...

[Crashing when applying new Maguuma Treads]

@Arkanfell.9137 said:So, how long do you think until we're no longer locked out of our characters? day? week? Because as it is, it also soft locks me out of my account because it crashes upon loading the character in character selection.

I can't even get pass the character select screen cause my characters load too fast. So i'm effectively just locked out of the game until they fix this.

[Crashing when applying new Maguuma Treads]

bug has been in game since tuesday. I noticed it when trying to preview the treads with the chat code. I just assumed it would be fixed by release, but here we are.

[Is PvP dead?]

i played a TON during mini 2v2 season. I quit when they got rid of it. I can't go back to conquest. I'm so kitten sick of conquest. they still shoving it down everyone's throat after almost 8 years. I only log in for the log in reward now. If they not gonna develop new game modes, support with a queue, and keep them around I'll just keep getting my log in reward until i find another mmo.

[Easy ways to get ascended gear without crafting or fractals?]

i got my ascended armor set from raids. I raided in exotics until i had enough magnetite shards to get a full set.

[Locking rewards behind masteries]

i agree, because the last few masteries released has been garbage. so gating rewards behind is a trash move. Needing a mastery to open a chest after going thru the trouble of doing the meta isn't fun gameplay or good content. Anet needs to be more creative with their masteries or just release updates without new masteries if they can't think of any good ones. I agree with OP.

[Impending DH nerfs?]

@"mrauls.6519" said:I'm all for class balancing.. and It seems DH has one of the highest win rates. I am SURPRISED. I'm not even sure how DH can get nerfed, but I pray it's still viable. Please be careful about how this is executed. I'm still shocked to hear the word DH and nerf together in the same sentence. I know I'm biased, but compared to Necro and Ranger, it's pretty balanced

where do you see class win rates at? i been wondering myself about this

[Idea for the next mesmer spec.]

I'd like a hammer aoe spec.

I watched people who play like bots call Chaith a “useless engineer” while they slam their face into mid for their amulet.

more people coming into the game mode is a good thing. you learn by failing. play more because you are bad is how you get better. i hope they continue to pvp long after they get their amulet. you gotta be a weird guy to be mad that there is an influx of new players. the game will die without an influx of new players. whether they are here for fun or the pvp amulet, it's always a good thing.

Did you even read what I said? I’m not mad about new people coming in. I’m bothered by their attitudes that they’re bringing with them.

yeah, I read it. you're complaining about new players being new, doing things that new players do.

[Chronomancers state in Pvp/WvW]

@vareares.1932 said:Ever since the patch I think in august of last year chronomancer has seen no play in pvp and as some one who loves chrono in pve I was really disappointed about how the shatters were reworked and could no longer shatter on them self, it affected all game modes. I hope that the devs could rework chrono so it may once again be a fun class once. I think part of the issues is putting together distortion and contium split, maybe reworking the traits in chrono will help so the one shotting won’t be an issue

i agree. I also hated the changes to shield skills and continuous nerf to wells. chrono, in my eyes, is an unplayable and unfun spec. Crazy how i used to think it was the most perfect playstyle for me. Now it's a disaster.

[Do you still use your raptor?]

i haven't used raptor since i got my jackal. Jackal is just always my preferred mount. it's just cool

[Why isn't 2v2 permanent?]

looking for other games to play until they bring 2v2 back, or something else other than conquest.

[Pls Bring 2v2 back]

@"Vornollo.5182" said:It is a separate game mode, use the PvP browser to find some 2v2 arenas..?Anyhow, I like it as an off-season thing, but I'd rather not split the PvP playerbase too much. Just my thoughts on it.

When people say they don't want to split the player base it just sounds like, " i want to take away what's fun for other people so they're all forced to play with me in my game mode." Not splitting the player base doesn't make something more fun to people that don't want to do it. It just leaves them no other options. Do it or move onto another game. I been boring myself soloing events in Maguuma jungle until I quit. I loved 2v2 and it wasn't even a successful season for me. I'm sick of conquest. it's been 7 years of it. I"m just sick of it. Anet should be trying to capitalize on this. They should have kept 2v2 an unranked option at the very least. And anet should be working on a capture the flag game mode for the next expansion at the very least. Options should be growing. Build it and they will come. Not wanting to split the player base is the reason for the shrinking player base.

1. The best way to play power mirage atm is to play like a neutered version of core power mesmer. Core and co. can’t be buffed cuz there’s a stupid >40k raid pchrono flying around while almost every other power mes build (inclu. not-raid pchrono) is <32k. You will want to buff core as well cuz -
2. pMirage currently sits at ~24k. To buff just mirage to worthwhile dps means having a trait(s) that somehow increases dmg by 60%+ (note 10% of the ~24k is CONDI). Don’t think Anet will do that. Also, cannot buff cmirage.
3. Sword ambush will never be worth unless it does 3x as much dmg as now, even then sigil of energy is not worth on power, so it would need to do 5x as much. Atm it’s a meme/dps loss, only useful for cc.
4. Power has much less benefit for leaving clones around, clone ambush dmg needs to be OP to also compensate delaying F1 (it has no ammo on pmirage).

tl;dr: imo pmirage is doomed to fail as it relies/plays too similarly to core pmes, which is stuck in trash tier cuz reasons.

still waiting for chronophantasma nerf so anything other then chrono can be pve playable zzzZZzzzz

???chronophantasma afaik is far away from the problem.

every other power mes build (

inclu. not-raid pchrono

) is <32k.

so:

• raid (DT) pchrono: 40k
• not-raid pchrono: ~31k
• core pmes: ~28k
• pmirage: ~24k

step 1: do something about danger time. replace the +15% crit chance into core (dueling) under more reasonable conditions (not SLOW)

• raid (DT) pchrono: doesn't need to exist
• not-raid
  pchrono: ~34k
• core pmes: ~31k
• pmirage: ~26k

step 2: update fencers finesse, maybe reduce 1s cast times - i.e SoE, iswordsman, idisenchanter, (idefender just cuz) apparently comparatively useless in pvp so why not

• not-raid
  pchrono: ~37k
• core pmes: ~34k
• pmirage: ~29k

step 3: buff (power) mirage by 25% thru w/e combination of changes (vicious expression v.1 lol)

• not-raid
  pchrono: ~37k
• core pmes: ~34k
• pmirage: ~36k, close enough

(also put the +x power into bountiful blades so gs is worthwhile)???profitbut anet doesn't listen so :grimace:.

I have felt like some of my posts in the past inspired changes the devs made. I honestly feel like a post i made about phantasms not being fun inspired the phantasm rework. You never know. It's good that you took the time to share your idea, because they made read it and think "this makes sense"

i had been core s/s & s/p from beta till HoT. Then I was chrono s/s & s/p until the release of PoF. Since PoF I've kept the same exact weapon set up as a mirage. And it is definitely not the same. The playstyle of sword mirage vs sword core mesmer is drastically different. I'd actually say sword mirage is very much like Sword thief. Uber mobility and access to shadowstep utility, teleports, and a flip backwards. Definitely a HUGE difference. If you're a ranged player, I guess you wouldn't be taking advtange of all mirage's mobility so it would feel the same. But in my hands the core vs mirage is like night and day.

[PvE power mirage skill/trait change suggestions]

Just making a request for clones sword ambush attack to do actual scaling damage based on the player's power stat in PvE only. It would just be more fun for people like me that greatly enjoy main hand sword mirage in a pve environment. And an alternative to chronomancer's ability to summon double phantasms. It's all a numbers game. You can adjust the numbers to a competitive level. But as it stands, the daze is awesome, but it would be nice if the attack did more than pet the head of the monster i'm fighting.

In addition, can you make Nomad's Endurance, (vigor grants +150 condition damage), grant either +150 Condition OR Power, based on whichever stat is highest for the player at any given time. Would love to take my power mirage into raids.

I've stopped raiding entirely because I can't enjoy chronomancer anymore. Condi mirage is awesome. But with these changes, maybe Power mirage can be equally awesome in a PvE environment.

@zealex.9410 said:Ik full well that legendaries will lose alot of their value once legendary armory is out and ppl start making the weapon and armor types they still need but i still think that even for the cosmetic aspect that it would be nice to see a third gen of weapons.

i actually think the legendary armory will give greater value to have legendaries. it doesn't take away the value from them.

[Enough Tomes of Knowledge Please]

@archmagus.7249 said:Seriously, I don't need them every time I increase in rank, and a bunch of times in my reward track when I could have gotten better stuff, like a mat shipment, or a champ bag. Could they remove tomes from most of the reward tracks (keep them in the non-repeatable, gift of battle, and dungeon, since the last two you'll need a good deal of spirit shards for, and if you're a new player chances are you are going to do the non-repeatable tracks.)

Where the Tomes were, put something actually useful.

I would like to be able to exchange my tomes for t6 mats. Or even make it an ingredient to a new legendary or something. I have 2500 just taking up space in my bank.
