I have extreme difficulty reading the full-screen world map due to a flaw in the DX11 text rendering. The floating clouds make the readability even worse. https://imgur.com/a/IMcw1PB

The same thing happened to me in today's daily Sunqua Peak fractal during the water phase. The green circles were very translucent and barely visible, and the yellow arrows were not there at all.

Pages stop generating while downed/rallying, defeated or being revived. Respawning at fractal checkpoints does not refresh the page count. 3 additional pages from the Archivist of Whispers trait do not generate at all until at least 1 page is used.

That was several years ago, certainly not recently. I was answered by someone from the first line of contact. I didn't persist because actually the region didn't affect my gameplay. Recently I read on the Steam forums that all Steam accounts are assigned to the US datacenter and people were getting the same response from the support as I did before. These flag icons are an optional indication of the language in which the group communicates.

I've been playing with Area of Effect Rings turned on since I realized that turning them off hides not only the "rings" but also numerous 3D textures and objects, such as birthday blaster cakes. I have all graphics settings at max except post processing, which causes too much glow and blurry details on some textures.

I have 2 game accounts both in the EU region (EU world) since creation. My main account remains in the EU datacenter, while my alt account was moved from the EU to the NA datacenter after I asked the support to update my email address. I then asked the support to change my region back to EU but they said that there is no need to change that, because the datacenter region indicated on the website means nothing, since my account is still assigned to the EU game world. Although both accounts are on the exact same EU game world, according to my observations there are some differences depending on the datacenter region. Certain, but not all, major in-game (orange star) events start and end at different hours. Promotional items distributed to all players by in-game mail arrive at different hours. E-mail newsletters arrive on different days, and although both are in English, some newsletters use slightly different wording. While the daily reset occurs at the same time, the daily chests (those at the end of jumping puzzles, for example) reset at different times. EU earlier, NA later. Edit: Regarding the latency. I just tested my ping from central Europe to the NA game world and I have a stable average ping of 120 ms, no spikes or lags. Certainly playable.

ArenaNet please allow us to Guest cross-region. I am playing at nights (shift work) and am having trouble finding a team on LFG in the EU region. The current guesting system is a relic of the past. The Western world has never been as united as it is these days, yet some MMO games still continue to foster unnecessary divisions. It's about time to rework it so that players from different regions can play together. 🌍

I'm not sure if it is related to DX11 or something else but for me the pulsing orange meteor impact circles in Sunqua Peak Fractal do not render at all. When I first started this fractal, I died in this phase every time and didn't know what it was about. Until I saw it on youtube and was surprised that in my game I can' t see the impact circles. The solid rock Is also hard to spot. I'm new to raids and when I tried raids, everyone was talking about all the different colored circles. It was really frustrating because I couldn't see the circles.

Stow Tome causes a slight aftercast cooldown of the tomes, while Drop bundle does not. While active, Tome of Resolve and Tome of Courage tooltips are replaced with Virtue of Resolve and Virtue of Courage tooltips containing wrong properties and cooldown icons. Pages do not gain charges while riding a Raptor Taxi or resting in a chair. Basically, any thing that alters the skillbar also changes profession mechanic from firebrand to core guardian, and at that time stops generating pages and messes up tooltips, stats and traits. This can be observed by looking at the build tab in the Hero panel.

I tested it with Stalwart Speed and Hallowed Ground, as draxynnic.3719 pointed out. Applying stability from Hallowed Ground grants 1 stack of Ashes of the Just to 1 other ally, but not yourself (2 stacks to 1 ally with Master of Consecrations). If you stand in Hallowed Ground yourself, you always take priority and no other ally gains Ashes of the Just. So basically Quickfire has become a self buff. This feels like a punishment for playing firebrand healer in a non-solo content. Now you are getting 90% less loot because you are no longer contributing to damage through allies. As a healer support, instead of dealing damage and tagging, you have to watch health bars, manage conditions, apply boons at the right time, waste time juggling the 0 CD tomes trying to look for skills that aren't on cooldown (because the UI doesn't communicate that at all) and in addition, have supernatural powers to calculate the hidden cooldowns of trait passives (because the UI doesn't communicate that at all).

So how does it work now? It does not grant Ashes of the Just to anyone but myself, no matter how many instances of quickness I cast.

There is a bug that allows you to quickly reset (remove) the cooldown of virtue traits - so called Dormant effects. To remove the Dormant effect, all you have to do is sit on a chair, summon a mount, or equip a bundle that replaces the skillbar. It works with certain novelties, tonics, transformations etc. and by switching the build temple to another elite specialization. Renewed Focus restore only 5 pages, always ignoring additional 3 pages from Archivist of Whispers.

Renewed Justice affects the active part of virtues (buffs from other traits that you gain when activating virtues) it removes Dormant Justice.

So now interacting with the Mistlock Singularity does not refresh the pages, and the Dormant effects are not removed. So you get to the Mistlock Singularity without any pages left, you interact with it to prepare for battle, and you are still without any pages in addition to all the passives on cooldown... 📖☠️

Sound effects need reworking. I really dislike how staff skill #4 sounds, it sounds like exploding balloons and skill #2 sounds like a tambourine dropped on the floor, followed by skyhammer cannon - completely unfitting in comparison to the mystical sound effects of the mace and shield skills. Which I really love. I miss the sound effects from Guild Wars 1 so much. Too bad you can't mod the game. The sound effect of the scepter autoattack is undisputedly the worst in the entire game. As for skill #5, it is completely useless to me. No damage, no CC when cast on stationary enemies, no defiance break. By the time you finish casting it, you could have thrown some autoattacks instead.
