Fair enough, there is some wisdom to just enjoying what you have because the changes might be worse!

I would love to have legendary weapon fx infusions ..or something like that. Would be cool, you can farm one that dials the fx up or down to taste! Maybe change colors! Something within reason for dialing it up thou lol

For me server lag has been the biggest issue since sometime last year where they seemed to make a change to WvW servers when an Alliances beta was happening.. it's been a while now. Anyway it been an off and on issue when multiple large groups clash these days. It was always noticeable in years past but nothing like the last year or so.

What gem store items can I buy to promote a server tier promotion in the cloud for WvW?

I can't wait for there to be some competition for GW2 for realm vs realm so I can leave them behind for these short sighted heavy handed over nerfs. Sadly this is the way of online gaming for the last 25 years. Ah well. Just another disappointment.

Very poor form Anet. The 10's of active Revent greatsword enjoyers are very let down by this move.

I'm still very much enjoying GS on Herald and Shortbow on Vindi & Herald post nerfs. I don't play a lot of renegade these days so I don't have feedback on that beyond I still can't seem to get anywhere close to Alac DPS benches with it so I'm certain that's a me problem. lol

It was odd that I pretty much shelved Vindicator PWR dps once they opened up GS access to other classes, it really showed how strong GS was and how much it was carrying the Vindicator spec after all the nerfs. I figured there were 2 ways they could go about dealing with this; 1 to nerf Herald DPS skills or 2 nerf GS skills. Both were going to introduce some spill over issues and they buffed DPS Vindi to compensate. So in the end Herald and Vindicator are fine.. Herald is doing similar DPS numbers to what it was doing before weapon mastery (which I main these days and thought it was fine before and it's fine now) and Pwr DPS Vindicator is back on the menu which is fun and doing good out there to my gameplay. Really the only class super lost in the shuffle is Renegade at this point imo. I'm not here convince you one way or another but this is my take on the change.

You all stay very busy for sure which I certainly appreciate, but my heart belongs to WvW which continues to get passed over which remains a bit of a heartbreak. I can't help think there are so many little things you could do to bring some live back into it.. even little things like do something with Edge of the Mists and make something fun out of it for the rotation instead of it being mostly abandoned. Lot's of little things could bring life into it you know? Xpack has been fun thou and I thank you for all of that the future of PvE seems pretty good overall.

WvW is a core game mode.

I don't do the forums thing much but seeing as how Rev's become my favorite class to play in this game I will chime in with the fact that I love greatsword on Herald & Renegade. Also I see that Vindicator is very easy to pass over now that GS is open to other specs and it will need some looking at. Shield remains something that could be great but moving breaks it's channel so it has the same problem now as it did before. Shortbow is a great ranged option in PvE to have on other specs now and I am enjoying it even on power builds. Overall I think that Revenant is in a pretty good place right now so I worry it will be messed with. My dearest hope is that it will be ignored rather than nerfed.

How predictably unfortunate for us all.

This is great, and on theme. Perfect.

It all sounds nice for a new player, but it also sounds like you will be taking away some functionality from existing players. Or at least giving them some new hoops to jump though now. But the carrot on the end of the stick for some hoop jumping is new kit which look good and will be fun to do. So it's a bit of a mix.. sort of hard to sell the idea of making customers re-buy something they already have with relics. BUT this may be part of the sales pitch. If a player could say trade in 6 armor runes for a set they currently have to unlock a relic and all's good. It's a wash, but this is not made clear. The same goes with current legendary relic owners, it's not clear if we are going to have to put additional work in to use runes we are currently using like Scholar runes, or if we have to work to unlock that relic. File me under - needs more info. Could be good, could be meh.

As much as I might get frustrated by changes and nerfs over the years I could still play the game and thus deal with it and adapt in time. Currently WvW is nearly unplayable once large groups have gathered to fight and it's been this way since after the last weapon beta. This is not something I can adjust and learn to adapt to. Please fix this as soon as possible or I (and I suspect many others) will have to give up on WvW and eventually look for something else or go back to DAoC lol ... IDK something.

I've only recently made the 7 legendary runes (just before this Xpack announcement in fact) and honestly I love them and wish I made them long ago now! Really been a great QoL and made it easier than I realized it would to have fun with build swapping things for WvW for armor weights I haven't made legendary for. I hope to be able to keep this functionality moving forward come Xpack drop and if that is the case I'll be a happy camper. If not well I hope there will be a path to keep it as I would invest to keep it. Any concern I have at this point would be loosing the functionality we have currently.

I'm sure there's no easy answer to this one, but if whatever we get is diminished if you compensate with some clovers and gifts of x; I'd be fine more or less.

Also for a record while the Ranger sword 3 sounds more powerful, I will certainly miss the cool, fun and somewhat tactical side attack of it. It just was so cool. Now it looks like another sad tired leap. We already have one of those.. so I personally will miss that one too.

Arc Divider is one of the most fun Warrior greatsword skills. Remember fun? I have to toll my hat in the ring for this one. I and I suspect many fans of it will miss lament it's loss.

Forced Engagement currently seems to cast from the bottom of your character and consequently seems to get blocked by nearly all terrain. With this change to 1 target can you please move it up to start from higher up or do something to deal with it's collision detection? With it only effecting 1 target with this I expect to burn energy for zero results 60% of the time if not more.

2 questions - Will the Facets of Nature buffs work in WvW & PvP or just PvE. Can we please get a visual representation for when Untamed Unleashed comes off cool down? Currently I sort of have to wing it, and that's not great.

The OP make a good point, if they added more cosmetics or fluff to WvW via the gem store I'm certain many people including myself would show their support buying them.

I too am stuck on this step. It's the last once I need to finish Lasting Bonds: What We Do here. I see the driftwood on the ground after the storm but I cannot interact with it. This has been for some days now. I saw another old thread about this that seems to think it's a bug.. but it was closed. I hate when they just close old threads. If this is an ongoing bug for X amount of years that's important for tracking.

Behind every complicated problem there is a simple solution; and often it's the wrong one. :D

This is a great example of how devs and players see current state differently. A player will never forget what was taken away from them in a nerf/change, a dev see's live game state to be continually tweaked.
