  1. I'm sharing the following in the hopes it is helpful for Anet to determine the source of the crashing. This past week we received a few successive large file updates to address crashing issues. Prior to them, I would freeze then crash every day or so. Some times I'd go a week without issue, some times it seemed I'd crash 2 or 3 times in a row. After receiving the first large file update this week, things were different. I'd freeze momentarily like I usually did before crashing. However, instead of crashing much to my delight I'd unfreeze still be in the game! 😄 After the most recent large file update (the 3rd one I believe), I seem to be crashing every 5 minutes. It does not matter if I was in a world boss battle with many people around, or in a distant zone all to myself. At one point today I crashed 6 times in the span of 10 minutes trying to get the 100 Awakened kills in the Desolation for the weekly. Hopefully this will help narrow down things. 🙂
  2. I'm having the same issue, for now I can't have my cake and eat it too. Looking forward to getting my platter back. 🙂 EDIT: The Birthday Blaster still works to apply the 10 minute version of the boon.
  3. Also would like to see a relic that summons an ally for 60 seconds while in combat. I used those on certain builds too for kicks. They could even make the ally vary depending on what your class is.
  4. Yes I'd like the Relic of Sanctuary back please. 10% of healing as a barrier was very versatile and enjoyable. 🙂
  5. I don't believe this will be pay to win any more than the game "already is." Overall I really like the introduction of the relic. It allows for much more customization, allowing players to play and have the types of builds they want. I use a few runes specifically for the 6th bonus, though the other stats don't really mean much to me. With this I can have meaningful stats and my niche bonus. Very much hoping for legendary relics on release. Thanks Anet for letting people play the way they want to play. 🙂
  6. My friend and I discovered the Glove of Wisdom has a secret use*. After beating a level, we face each other spaced a little apart, and use the skill at the same time to give each other a high-5. Spread the word!! 😄 * Secret use may or may not be useful. 😉 But it is fun!
  7. Thanks, I was mistaken. I must have closed the window after putting 250 items, and donated 1 item thinking I donated a stack. Glad it doesn't take 250 stacks to get to tier 1!
  8. My friend was only able to donate 1 stack of items before the others got greyed out. I can donate 250 stacks of 250 items. Are we only supposed to be able to donate 1 stack per week or 250 stacks?
  9. Thanks folks. This was more of a sanity check than anything else. I've never needed to block someone, and this is a blip. Any other feedback I've had has always been very positive. It was a non-standard group. Virtuoso, 2 mechs, DH and my HB. Total pick-up group. I think the issue came with me jokingly saying I'd stop healing, then my slow loads while they got hammered by the first trash mobs after rushing in without me there. I've seen a lot more deviation in people, builds and attitudes since they nerfed fractal instabilities. I think the nerf is a good thing, it opens fractals to builds people enjoy playing vs having to pick a meta. I like playing the support role, and I also like being the HB as it ensures the instances go smoothly. I just took stock given the situation. I had another group recently that rushed T4 molten boss, they dragged all the mobs to the first mini-boss before the bridge. We all laughed as they really made me work hard to heal, but tbh I'm used to people just doing that in T3 or lower. We got through fine, but wasn't sure if both situations were part of a larger trend of people becoming more careless in T4s. I'm honestly not used to that type of attitude either. I saw it back in my old WoW days and was glad to play a game with such an amazing community. Thanks again all!
  10. I'd like an expectation and reality check, I was booted from a fractal group yesterday. We were in T4 volcano and finished the boss, no wipe. After, one of the people sarcastically asked if I heal. We had boon overload, toxic trail and afflicted instabilities. We were at 100% health during the fight save just after the final boss first bubbled for a moment. People were standing on a lot of lava ponds and toxic spots, plus we had like -15% max hp due to overload. Between shield bubble, F3 bubble and the utility bubble I kept the lava missiles from the slug things off of us. We didn't get many condis on us, which is sort of surprising given how much aoe can sometimes happen in there. The mesmer was disappointed they had to use distortion. I have my T2 fractal account augmentation and 32K AP and mostly play on my guard. I've been around the block more than a few times let alone in fractals. I've literally done hundreds of sets of T4 fractals. I have full heal stat gear with monk runes. My computer loads slow, so when I loaded in in the Reef and Underground Facility the party was already fighting the first mobs and taking damage. I suspect they didn't realize I wasn't there yet, which likely made them feel I wasn't healing. I've never had an issue with a group which should be evidence for itself and fractals are always clean and fast. To be open, I hardly ever use the F2 heal skills. In my experience the party is always at 100% hp. I use my pages for strategic of F3 for stability, bubble or the 5 defence skill. If we're in a really hairy fractal with bad compounding instabilities I'll use F2 but I found I've never needed it besides that. The person had all their pots so they've certainly done fractals themselves. I wonder how many as in my experience and even with good players sometimes the fractal instance and its instabilities can add up in very harsh ways to play. imo this is the nature of fractals, and in the chaos of battle you'll sometimes need to press a heal or evade button once. I'm not sure if it is reasonable to expect to be at 100% hp in every fractal at all times. Sometimes things can get really ugly and you may have to press your own heal button. I got a sense of elitism based on a couple of their comments but was surprised when I got booted regardless. What are your thoughts?
  11. I love the fact that the game lets you create your own music lists for things like general combat, under water, boss battles, etc. I use it myself and am very appreciative for it! My suggestion is about how this feature is utilized in boss combat, especially ones that are scripted with phases. Examples are the final bosses in the Nightmare, Siren's Reef and Molten Boss fractals. Since the combat happens in phases, it segments my music playlist. It seems that just as one of my songs is starting to get to a good part, a new phase happens and the next song on my list plays. My request is to have these types of fights play music without being broke up. I realize many people probably don't use this music feature or may not even know it exists, however adding this will make the game more seamless and let you stay in the emotional zone the game creates. Thanks. 🙂
  12. Thank you, for clarity: - I calculated the effective difference of the Benevolence vs. the Life Sigil. In my case, I have a firebrand quick/healing build and went heavy with healing stats on my gear. - The Life sigil healed for more when at 25 stacks. *You* also gain the benefit of the additional healing from life. - Benevolence only heals allies, not you. - As both sigils use counters, only one will be buffed at a time. With either sigil, you can also use the Transference sigil to further increase healing (to others).
  13. I also suggest making a focus skin that looks and is held like the key in the Super Adventure Box.
  14. I suggest making a node for the home instance that gives karma. 🙂
  15. They could also add to the armour pieces. 😉 Boots would look like rain boots sailors/fishermen use. Pants could be cargo shorts with belt. Belt could have a fillet knife on it, small bags, gear, ect. (Yes boots with shorts, because people who fish are on the forefront of fashion) Gloves would look like leather gloves, the type people use to hold fish without cutting themselves on the sharp bits. The shoulder piece could be a folded net draped over one shoulder. I'm tearing up thinking of it! You could even make fishing weapons: Rifle would be an "Illegal Fishing Rod" Dagger would be a Fillet Knife. Sword would be an Epic Fillet Knife. Great Sword would be an even more outrageous version of the sword, with an even more humourous and unbelievable name. Just a starter list, Anet is extremely creative and I have no doubt they could easily fill out the rest of the weapon types thoughtfully and humourously.
  16. It's the suggestion everyone's been waiting for! Superior Rune of the Angler! (1) +5 Fishing Power (2) Caught fish look bigger.* (3) +10 Fishing Power (4) Caught fish occasionally greatly impress others.** (5) +15 Fishing Power (6) Gain +30 Fishing Power for 30 seconds after catching a fish. +15% casting range. * = This would increase the size of the 3D model of fish you are holding after being caught by 25%. ** = Occasionally you would hear people (not the character's voice) be verbally impressed with the catch. Ooohs, Aaaahs, Wows, etc. You get the idea, fishing is a big deal and your catches please the crowds. The purpose of the final buff is to give you a boost to FP, but only if you can catch a fish fast enough. Sort of like an on-kill buff, good buff but you need to capitalize on it. Acquisition The easy thing to do would be to make this rune available at the vendors once you've maxed out your fishing mastery. But really, where is the fun in that? A collection or achievement-style chain would be fun, make the rune more rewarding and enjoyable. Or, maybe make the runes out of some obscure and hilarious components. Anet, I would totally use this. I'm willing to bet a lot of people would. It would be the perfect addition to a fishing set! Thank you for your consideration. 🙂
  17. Thanks for this change Anet. The rifle was always the weapon of last resort for me on my eng, I only used it when I wanted to range something. It feels like it kills faster (at a speed I can auto-kill things on other classes), whereas before it felt slow to me. Thank you so much! 😄
  18. Not just regen and healing skills, traits that heal you make barrier as well with this! 😄
  19. Anet, thank you for making this change to the rune so that the barrier is generated from all healing, not just healing skills. I've wanted and hoped for a functionality like this for a long time, and am enjoying some fun/chill PvE builds with it. Cheers!
  20. What if they're changing Solace now to remove aegis, however the long term goal is to make the next guardian elite based on aegis. 😃 I'll bet Anet could do something really cool with that!
  21. I've always felt aegis was a bit of a wasted opportunity. Outside of solace, it's never been too terribly useful. Before there was hope for it with Communal Defence. Even in the core game before the first expansion, Rune of the Guardian felt like a waste. The 6th buff from the final rune is supposed to be decent, but a burn when you occasionally blocked wasn't great imo.
  22. I'd like to have aegis added back to this skill. As a healbrand, I love the protection/resolution they added as its damage reduction over a period of time. tbh I think it's great. I miss the aegis as I used it strategically in pve and fractals. When placed well instead of being spammed it really helped highlight your level of skill. Was aegis really so over powered here?
  23. I've experienced a lot of amazing and magical things in my life, but the music in LA at the dog park was something else! I can't describe the layers of awesome that comprise that song. How is it so catchy? How is it so happy? How is it a song? I can just imagine the group of people sitting around in the sound studio laughing their heads off as they created that master piece. And to this I say: Thank you. The song was mesmerizing. It made no sense. Yet it helped complete my soul. Freak'n lounge music, with dogs echoing in the background as they bark to it. AND LASER NOISES. Nothing made sense, nothing was connected, except that it somehow drew you into its kaleidoscope of abstract beauty. Magical. Bravo!
  24. I have confirmation. I had 300% magic find. This was acquired using essence and account-wide bonuses. I got another 1% using essence. On a new character, my magic find was 301% without any boosts. This means that the 300% cap is for essence only, and does not include account-wide bonuses. The previous poster who mentioned at 300% your magic find bar goes green, must be the final cap.
