I really like the Wizards Vault. I think it opens a lot of possibilities to make steady progress, while playing the game. I agree that how it is now is very restrictive, but I know anet will fix it. That being said, I would like to take the opportunity to say how I would like it to be, according to MY personal preferences. I'm not big into any particular game mode, but I do enjoy all of them. Since I dont have unlimited time to play the game, I rotate game modes. Some days I play PVP, other days I do fractals or strikes, others WvW, etc... The way the daily system is now I have to either choose one or play a tiny bit of all of them. This is not ideal. For the daily achievements it would be great to have a lot of choice, with several possible achievements per game mode. Lets say 4 for each like it used to be. You would still only be able to complete four per day of course. For the weekly achievements it would be nice to have more meaninguful goals like: Complete 8 Fractals/Stikes, Win 8 PvP matches, Participate in 5 different Metas, Unlock Silver WvW chest, Comple a Raid Wing. I think these types of acievements would incentivize people to play more, while keeping each possible to be completed in one or two play sessions of 1 to 2 hours. Another thing is the types of dailies we have right now. Right now I have a weekly achievement to kill 100 awakened, which I think doesn't really incentivize me to play any meaningful content, is just grindy and I'm sure Anet would prefer to have me participate in a Meta. Doing hearts are also not that meaningful since is basically solo content. That is all. Overall thank you for the QoL added to the game, I am enjoying this expansion even though I didnt have time to play much.

Ended up trying a different VPN and it worked.

Update Got a reply from the support team. It sent me a link for general network problem solutions. I'm going to try it as soon as I get home, but not to hopeful since I remember having done these steps before.

Tuesday I came home and started downloading the new patch. It went smoothly until it hit the "Playable" state. Then, it dipped until it stopped downloading entirely. I know there are other posts in this forum similar to this one. The reason I'm writing a new one is because the solutions I found (both on the forums and on reddit) didn't work for me. Also, I have submitted a ticket yesterday, but didnt get a responde yet, which is very unusual (it usually takes 10 minutes). Here are the list of things I tried and somethings I notices. I tried changing the hosts file (got a connection error) I tried using creating a shortcut with a command line to connect directly to the server (no change) Disabling FIrewall (no change) Tried with and without VPN (no change) Disabling Windows QoS (no change) Leaving overnight (No progress) Everytime I open the launcher it starts downloading, but it dips after a few seconds. It pick backs up again, but there are no progresse in the downloaded files. If I close the launcher and start it again, there are fewer files to be downloaded (1 or 2). The ammount of files downloaded is the same wether I leave it open for a minute or overnight. It downloads new patches just fine, it only stops after the playable threshold. I assume these files are related to the new content. I can play the new content up to the story chapter that teleports me to "The Horn of Maguuma". It just gets stuck in the loading screen. If anyone has eccountered the same problem recently, please tell me how did you fix. I really want to play the new expansion. TY Armada

A lot of times the eemental skills just sits on my bar because I forget to summon before the fight and during the fight feels like a waste of time. I think lesser elementals should be a quicker cast and the elite elementals should be permenant (including on mount, map change, etc), it could be also auto cast ooc like the firebrand mantras.

Hello all, Thanks Anet team for the wonderful changes you have implemented lately. Here are some personal features I would also like to see implemented. 1 - 360 full speed movement. We already have this feature implemented in action cam, but I think it would be even more valuable in regular cam. This would remove the need for an "about face" keybind, which in my opinion is an unnecessary skill barrier. 2 - Keybinds per Spec - This is such an important change to make the different game mechanics on each class and spec feel more fluid and confotable to play. ArcDPS has this feature and I find it absolutely necessary, but I think it would work better if it was implemented natively. 3 - Collapsible buffs - It would be nice if you could collpase the buff icons to hide permanant buffs and buffs with long durations. This would clean up the buff bar and make it more useful. 4 - Make the hands, head, shoulder and back slots have a blank skin in the wordrobe, instead of a togglable option. This way we could have it show in one equipment template and not in other ones. Thank you
