DeWolfe.2174

Every zone is a "fly-over zone" when you can simply way point to a specific area and way point back out again. You got to find the waypoint first. Which you can fly over the zones to get to with a true flying mount. You have to find the way point once, 6 years and thousands of hours later..... I like how this post assumes ANet doesn't add new maps. Did I miss the memo that ANet announced no more new maps ever again?It's always going to be the same, you only have to find it once.

For the Skyscale, even if the devs don't want it to fly high over the zones, it should be able to fly just off the ground. Like right now what I would modify on the Skyscale is also allowing it to maintain a low flying height off the ground or water like the Skimmer. For the Skimmer, I'd keep it mostly as is but, increase the land speed slightly and make it able to dive and swim in the water.

Episode 6 and the time gating has had negative effects on my interest in the game and how much I've been playing. Since game launch this is likely the lowest my interest has been and least amount I'm playing.

If you want harder content, then you should be asking for solo'able content too.

Invisible walls along the perimeter of the map I can see for technology reasons, even though they destroy any open world experience. All invisible walls within a map though should be removed. Just delete them Devs!

Raising Aurene was such an important part of the story that the Dev's glossed right over it. 3.5 years later and we rarely spent time talking with or having any relationship with Aurene. To really make matters worse the dev's gave the role of raising Aurene to Caithe, relegating us to acting as Commander Meat Shields. So, if that's what the Dev's are trying to "recreate", they can kindly skip it.

And what mistakes are they fixing? where did you see it? If you bother to read the comments, you will see that Anet already said they would fix the mastery problem and that they are looking on how to fix the mess they made in a permanent manner. I will copy paste here so you there isn't any chance you will pretend to not have seen it if you reply: "Hi everyone, I wanted to provide a brief update after talking to various developers. We’re aware of the concerns expressed in this thread. The team is currently regrouping and we’re aiming to communicate more about this topic as soon as we possibly can. In the meantime, we're pushing a hotfix that will include hiding the skyscale Mastery line for players who have not acquired the skyscale so that they will continue to gain Mastery experience toward acquiring Spirit Shards. We're also working on another hotfix coming later that will alleviate issues with finishing the Skyscale of Ice achievement in Frostgorge Sound by making the Corrupted Ice Elementals near the Claw of Jormag event respawn regularly. These creatures can encase you in ice and progress the Skyscale of Ice achievement. This is a temporary fix until we can get something more permanent. Thank you for your understanding and patience." So yes anyone arguing for something that Anet admits is a mistake and is trying to fix at this point is just a concern troll and should just be ignored.For the Skyscale of Ice achievement, you can just go to Bitterfrost and get frozen by the little tornado or aggro any of the ice elementals by the berry farm. They will all freeze you and count toward this. No need to go to Frostgorge for that part.

Did you just really pull a "get gud" in 2019??? wow...

you can buy the finished items on tp Buy them at insanely elevated pricing you mean??? Creating a "Scavenger Hunt" is one thing, involving hard to farm materials that you'll have to buy on the TP is just screwing over every player but a few. The time gating itself has divided the player based into haves and have not's as it prevents those who didn't finish before reset on the first day from ever catching up. Now, those few who were able to play during the day of the patch dropping will always get to see the collection requirements before anyone else. That gives them an exclusive opportunity to horde materials from the TP. For a game the tries to pride itself on building a community, it sure does a great job at driving us apart. The argument fails when you could just pay attention to the latest reddit news on what which will be needed so you can buy it while still relatively cheap, before the masses catches on.The "masses" catches on????? All it takes it one TP Baron to wipe out the supply on the TP.

That was me yesterday! I took a screen cap as I was standing at the last egg and it was 8:02. I missed it by 2 minutes. I'm just logging back on to continue now a whole 25 hrs and 41 minutes later. I'm still wrapping my head around the dev's thinking that forcing the players to stop playing the game for over a day is somehow a good business model????

quoting myself from earlier

If it hasn't been said, I can't believe we had to wait four months for this.

I'd like to enjoy the game but, it's TIME GATED! I frantically (not fun) tried to finish the eggs before reset and was a mere 3 minutes late, 3 minutes! I logged right out afterwards because it's not possible for me to proceed. How can anyone not see how infuriating time gating can be?

There are some plenty of aerial threats in pof and hot. And the mount doesn’t go that high up or travel that far before you have to descend. Have you even tried the mount or are you just being blindly argumentative and condescending? I actually have and toyed with it the moment I got access to it when Aurene finds them and you have to win them over with the volatile magic. Climbed to the high point I could find and, as I said, noticed that you barely start to descend and saw that the endurance bar filled up. So I toyed with it going to the high point and, again, tested things out. Does the bar fill slowly if the descent is small, did it fill quicker if you fell faster, did it fill while hovering, did it drain clinging to the wall, how is skill 1, how to aim skill 1, what is the difference between using skill 1 in the air and on land, wait there are updrafts here, does it effect the skyscale, can I descend to fill the bar, grab cliff and bounce back up efficiently and tinker, tinker, tinker to the point my longest time was 45 minutes before I hit the ground taking my time to figure it out as I didn't want a repeat of the griffon dive bomb/ascend in case they made one of those adventure things out of it and I need to fly through rings or something later on (Jahai Bluffs Griffon Master adventure, I'm looking at you). I think I spent more time experimenting with the mount then I did doing anything on the map.Before you hurt yourself trying to explain, just watch.

Oh and it's not just the time gating that's a horrible design, it's that they could have made a lot of story and adventuring to get the Skyscale. Circling the same map again and again, just to press "F" 842 times is not quality and engaging content.

I finished the last egg at 8:03 PM, 3 minutes after reset.So now I'm NOT playing the game for another 23 hrs and 57 minutes.How poorly thought out could this design be???? Worse, now my blood pressures up and I'm angry.So how is that good for your business Anet???

This is entirely a GW2 issue. This has occurred on and off for me for about 2 years.First and foremost, I delete the GW2 cache folder and the local.dat file.Considering most video cards are factory overclocked, I check the overclock.For me, I take off 50 MHz and bump the voltage up for stability.In windows advanced power options, under PCI Express, I turn off the Link State Power Management. All of them have helped but, when this hits it's usually persistent until game updates.

Been asking for swimsuits every year since Southsun, which was 6 1/2 years ago! Come on Anet, it's just a no frills piece of cloth, what could take so long?

So basically all we have to do while in the cities is take our armor off to desensitize those that wish to oppress us?

Yes! We should have invisibility on all armor pieces!Yes! We should have beachwear as armor skins with dyeable channels!Yes! We should have regular clothing like tank tops and jeans! Anyone complaining should just look at the extreme nonsense that is Cosmetic Aura's.

I'm having difficulty with "The Crystal Dragon" portion. Specifically, I'm trying to do it quickly for the achievement and had to relog 3 times now from getting stuck in the debris and other objects you have spawning in my path. I don't mind the mechanism if they worked. The first was right after the second crystal. I jumped down to attack his neck only to be buried in falling debris and unable to get out. After reloading the game, I tried to continue from the save point in the chapter and Kralk's 3d model didn't spawn at all. I played forward from where he should be and found myself stuck going to the 3rd Crystal. Then after another reload found myself stuck after the 3rd crystal right before the eye. Getting stuck in 3d objects, unable to move or /gg. is annoying.

Can we have MORE skimpy armor sets? Especially regular looking clothing like t-shirts, tank tops, jeans, beach wear, bikini's, sandals, hats (with keeping hair styles). We've only been asking since launch!!!!!!!!!!!!
