I think the idea has some merit. I realize that carrying a Newbie icon is something that not many players would (dare to or want to) do, but I could see certain people using it who also want to socialize a bit more and show it that way. I guess the Mentor icon itself is in some way a flag like this, but the Mentor flag is more for veterans and players who want to get something done and gather players around them(or point out their location on the map). The newbie flag could be showing more of "I am ok with people talking to me". I am probably overthinking this but I would like to see an experiment with such a flag.

I had this too until I saw a trick mentioned in the thread mentioned in above post 'Storyline Disconnects - Merged' and since then it never happened. Go to options, scroll down on that first tab until you see "Content Streaming" and set it to "On demand". It is usually set to "Idle". When I have it set to On Demand it never happened to me again. Unfortunately it resets itself to Idle when I log out so remember to do it before you get one of these lengthy cut scenes again.

You can get the Mini Tiger for 2 Black Lion Miniature Claim Tickets, if you have any of those. Looking at the Gem Store History on the wiki page of the Mini Tiger, it has not been for sale since May 2016. So I do not think it is coming back now that you can get it with Miniature Claim Tickets.

What you describe does not sound entirely unattractive to me, tbh. 🙂 Do not forget this is still PvE with GW2 rules, so everyone gets Loot, kill credit, and the events reset constantly. It is not like you only get one chance. For me one of the attractions would be to actually find the events when they are going on: I would not really mind if others would want the event to go this way or that way: I am sure I will find a time where I can let the event go my way. This is the sort of Coop play that I actually like in GW2, as opposed to being stuck with a group in a dungeon. I agree with you that this Tab would not really add a lot of replay-value, since when you have finished a Zone once, you are done for that part. That is why I would like to see more elaborate chains with more diverging paths, so it will take you longer to tick every box. Even now, after playing for so long, I sometimes run into a DE that I have never seen before(Core Tyria). I agree it is a shoppinglist, but let's face it, a lot of content in GW2 is some kind of shoppinglist. At least in PvE it is. However this would be one very popular shoppinglist with me personally. 🙂 Btw, I also love to do all the first tiers for all the first generation Legendaries; I like content that takes me all over the place and lets me enjoy the world.

Ouch.

Also: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/96299-suggestionsqol-quality-of-life-ideas-merged/page/156/?tab=comments#comment-1454283 As I understand it, Anet only looks at that thread for input from the playerbase. If you want to believe that. 🙂

Huh? I always thought a Tortoise and a Turtle were the same thing!

I like Dynamic Event chains a lot too, and you have these in all sorts of sizes. Danikat pointed out the ones that often have map-impact and usually can not be done alone, and they usually have pretty good replay value because the rewards are usually in some way worthwhile(Map currency, Collections, Achievements). I am also a big fan of the smaller event chains that you see littered across the world(mostly core Tyria), where 2-4 events follow up on eachother, where you can sometimes take a different path, with a slightly different outcome. The "fail" condition is an outcome in itself. These DE's events can be done solo, mostly, maybe with a (Group) boss at the end. I have a feeling this type of event-chain has been abandoned in HoT and PoF and I think this is a pity. I would like to see them more often, and also more elaborate. However, having said this, the lack of potential rewards is probably why these chains aren't that popular to begin with. Therefore I would like to have a Tab in our Hero panel that would tick off every DE Event, including chains and diverging paths when you participated in them. Possibly with a nice reward at certain intervals or maybe when you have covered all DE's of a zone. This would make me go hunt for DE's in maps where not much else may need to be done for a Veteran. Try to do every chain-path and DE event. So with a little more consequence, and also more elaborate so that it may become a bit of a puzzle to "collect" all paths. Not so much of "what to do" since that will be in the Wiki in no time, but rather having to bump into the DE-chain and make sure it goes the way you want. As to the adagio of "I want my actions to be of influence on my surroundings" that always sounds better on paper then in-game. I have yet to see a MMO that really nails this. "Reset" is the dirty word here. GW2's WvW is a nice try in my opinion, but even there everything flips and resets so often that the goals at least seem pointless to me. And if it would NOT reset it would be a completely abandoned gametype anyway. Maybe Ashes of Creation will get it right?

I am glad that I can do the achievement now! 🙂

This. And because so many players are entering the Labyrinth, the group you joined will be 20+ strong in no time so you do not have to be afraid that your group will be too small ( if that is even a thing here).

I actually think Anet is very disconnected too with the community. They NEVER post on these forums except in very few occasions, like when the game servers kept rolling back in the weekend and they had to clean up a giant clusteryouknow the monday after. The latest fiasco was off course when they disabled Necro Minions popping back after mounting, and only announced this in a single obscure TWEET, without any info for how long this would be, or even if this was temporary. They never reacted to any of the forum threads about this, they just posted another tweet after 14 days that the feature had been reenabled again. Even on Twitter and Facebook they RARELY ever post unless it is for some promotion, and they NEVER truly mingle with the playercommunity when it comes to matters that players are passionate about. Or even just for fun, you know. They *may* post something on the forum about one of their Charity linked promotions, and/or may tune in *very rarely* to any thread that sings Hallelujah and Praise about something GW2 related. For me it seems clear that the Staff has strict orders to keep away from any posting and mingling, except in dire circumstances(like game-breaking bugs), and only in totally flameproof threads. Ever since the Everquest forums in 1999, through many, many, many other MMO forums since then, Anet is by far the least communicable MMO company I have seen. Not saying it is completely unfathomable why they do this, since I have seen many fruitless (and heated) discussions between Staff and players too in other forums, but Anet could, you know, just crank it up a little...... 🙂

I have never seen a chest yet, where are these? I always fail at the second part of the puzzle so that may be the reason. (the part that pop ups when you have to wait a while after the first, easy part). Is there a chest/platform waiting after this second part? I do not have a disability, I just suck hard at timed JP's. My biggest pet peeve with this puzzle is the time you have to wait between a fail and the next chance. Even though this is still less then a minute( I think), it is way too long for me to even want to try to get that muscle memory going. Would be great if the reset would be like with the Griffon Adventures but I guess this is impossible because this puzzle uses a different mechanic.

I agree it looks ugly. The textures seem to show less details; for instance the grass or moss that covers stonework looked pretty bad. I have been playing with a reshade forev er now so I may be a bit spoiled, but this looks even worse then core Tyria with no reshade. Over the top coloring definitely plays a role there too. I am just hoping it looks better when we are actually in the game.

Looks like he beheaded himself with a Sickle. 😲

I hope it is not the type of hitching that has plagued other MMO's in the past, like Vanguard. It happened with movement, a small hickup every few seconds and it seemed to be related to the game loading textures of the harddrive. Back then people were advised to use an SSD but even then it happened to a lesser degree. I hated it to the point where the game was unplayable for me. An occasional freeze is ok, this happens in GW2 sometimes when there are a lot of people around and you swirl your character around, but that seems to be totally FPS related. The hitching I refer to in Vanguard happened constantly, almost at regular intervals, even with no other players around.

You mean so we can adjust this? 🙂

A few weeks after Anet had said that they had increased the drops of Chak egg and such you could see prices for this dropping on the TP. I saw several for sale, for as low as 6700 gold. I thought, "there goes the coolfactor of my one and only unique item". 😞 Now I check the TP and indeed several buy orders for 10K for the Chak egg and no sellers at all. Back to where we were! Needless to say I am sporting my very ugly and silly "bubbles popping up around me" infusion every day!

No, he is talking about the Champs in Dragonfall after the Meta is over. Would love to parachute in Dragonfall too though, like he said, chasing the blob can even be a nuisance with a Skyscale. Also, the chutes makes me use the Griffon more. 🙂

I LOVED fiddling with my Hero team in GW1, I would love to be able to do that in GW2 if only for the Dungeons which are completely abandoned content anyway. But I understand that the effort would very likely not be worth it for Anet. But maybe I could finally do all dungeons paths in my own pace. 🙂

I think he could not bunny up because of aggro and/or the brandstorm hitting him. As for the brandstorm "aggro", when you keep trying you will eventually mount up, but it sure is annoying. As for not being able to mount when you have aggro, that could be a debate on its own. I do not really see need for this in PvE, it is not as if the game is more challenging or exiting when you can not mount up to lose pesky agressors; it's only annoying. Some say that players could then train mobs to others when they flee on their mount, but I think mobs would lose aggro much faster on a mount(and stop following) then when you simply run away on foot.

Salvaging weapons and armor that have runes and sigils in them with a salvage kit of any quality will give a chance to yield the ingredient you need(the Symbols and Charms and off course the Motes). You do not need to directly salvage Runes and Sigils for that(which indeed can only be gotten by using a Black Lion salvage kit, or using an Extractor). Using higher quality salvage kits will give a better chance to yield a Symbol or Charm though since such kits have a better chance to actually "extract" the rune/sigil first and THEN salvage the rune/sigil for a (pretty small) chance on a Symbol or Charm. You never get to see the rune it extracts, and then salvages, but that is how it works, I think.

I sometimes agree to change maps when I think there are a bit too few people around to my taste, and then I come into an even *emptier* map. I pretty much never opt for the map change anymore..

A Legendary collection for a Mount Skin would be a great idea. Definitely the sort of thing that keeps me playing the game.
