Ventured into Queensdale from Divinity's Reach, and dozens of people were just outside, apparently having just having been disconnected and re-logged in. I was in the map maybe a minute when I was disconnected. That's after having been disconnected a few times in Crystal Oasis (along with others). All have had rollbacks. Thinking I'll steer clear of playing until this is resolved. edited to replace 'crashed' w/ 'disconnected'

I'm having issues with the Iron Legion Banner (the only banner I have so far). When I'm done gliding, frequently the backpack doesn't come back, or sometimes only part of it comes back- the actual banner (flag) part will be missing. The only way I can get it to show up again is to toggle it off and back on in my Equipment window. I don't recall this happening with the first backpack I transmuted by 'using' the banner skin item, but rather with a second backpack I transmuted.

The t-shirt is great for Medium armor wearers, but maybe not so much for Light and Heavy (esp Heavy) since they have little to nothing that resembles pants. I would love to see more casual/simple skins like this in shirts, pants, and boots/shoes.

I purchased the Iron Legion banner for 100 and got credit. Later I purchased the T-shirt for 200 and no credit. Do only some things count and not others?

I crashed yesterday, during the concert when trying to do the fireworks. Also, my screen has occasionally been freezing when I log out of the game. I have to close it via Task Manager. Shows GW2 not responding. Next time I try to log in, I'm advised to repair, so I do.

It's terrible on my Asura- whenever I'm on uneven terrain, he's sitting on his mount with one foot. The rest of him is hanging in mid-air. This is a new character and I didn't know if this was just him or what, but I did notice on my female Norn sliding around in the saddle pretty bad. Hope this gets fixed soon. It's unsettling.

One advantage the champ event has over the world boss event for me- less lag. I've moved to the country and am on slow, unreliable satellite internet connection. I used to do Teq daily, but can no longer because the lag is so bad, it's unplayable for me. Same goes for the world boss events. But the champ events have a lot fewer people concentrated in any given area, so I can participate in those. I just wish the rewards were a bit better, or better yet, some AP were tied to them. As far as event saturation, I kind of agree. It feels we have no time between events anymore to depressurize.

In LOTRO, they offered ways to get the dance emotes of the other races, like dancing contests eg. Each race had several dance emotes, so you had to spend some time to get them all. I really miss the Hobbit jig, but Asura dance is best dance. =) I'd love to see more variety in emotes in this game (and yes, a UI for them!), but especially dancing.

I enjoyed Dragon Bash as well. I participated in more aspects of it than I do most of the festivals. It just felt more accessible to me for some reason. And I loved that was in Hoelbrak. Hoelbrak is expansive and open, and that's the kind of terrain I enjoy being in. I didn't get much in the way of rewards, but that's okay- it was still fun.

I prefer the PoF maps to the HoT maps, but the aggro range ruins it for me. I do the Casino Blitz daily now, which I was doing only seldom before. Otherwise, I only venture into a PoF map when necessary (when daily is a bounty, doing HPs for alts, eg).

If you ever played Rift, Silverwood is the ultimate high fantasy zone (IMO) followed by Moonshade Highlands. The environments and music are fabulous. I have wished for a game that had all zones like these. Kryta would be the closest in this game, followed by the autumnal Charr areas. I like Gendarran Fields and would live in Ascalon Settlement if I could. :)

I'd say at least half of what I got was trash loot. Kind of a disappointment.

I finally gave up and logged out. Was logged out for over an hour. Just logged back in, and the bar still hasn't moved.

At least 45 minutes, the bar hasn't moved.
