Dont have any. I acknowledge that WvW is flawed, perhaps fatally so, but at least I cant "win" while AFK as is the case with much, if not all, of GW2' OW content.
Love how your only point against pve is that you can afk through events when most of the "advices" here are just afk through some wvw events and afk at home until it respawns. Genius.

another insightful take, keep it up!

How long does it take these days? Less than 4 hours? While being able to Afk 90% of the time? The horror.
someone with reading comprehension might realize but i do have all boosters running, yes even the snow gobbler, but thanks for promoting afking for 4 hours, lovely, riveting gameplay

If you can't be bothered to do that, you always have the option of buying a legendary on the trading post.
specific reward eh? must be the reason anet is pushing lego armors for each game mode instead of mixing
nobody wants to overpay a premium when you can craft it just need something you cant buy,

I have a couple of Gift of Battles, its not difficult and ir doesn't take long. Its fine the way it is. We can't be handed everything in this game
yeah because the rest of the legendary mats are just handed to you, like that 77 clover which is most of the gold cost

Oh thank goodness, it had been almost a full ten minutes since the last time this exact thread had been made for the millionth time
suck it up. If you want the legendary thing, do the legendary requirement
and WvW remains the most fun game mode outside of festivals
kitten i hit a nerve, yeah man it must be an obscure non-problem if you see this exact same thread the millionth time, those others are just wrong as well, a million people wrong, you though? totally right
I KNOW! lets add an spvp gift to all the legendaries and double down!

The title is confusing as the worst game mode, open world PvE, doesn't reward a Gift of Battle.
send me some of that military grade, industrial copium

And that's coming from someone who did clock in a quite a few hundred hours in it. After a year or so hiatus, seeing the reward track buff, I went in again, to get the final material for a legendary, and what a mistake. I'm suffering through the track as I write this and I can't kittening put into words how kittening infuriating this gameplay is.
WvW is in shambles, its easily in the worst state it's ever been balance wise, at least for my server. I'm sure the other two curbstomping us is having fun :^) I'm sure the immortal willbenders with 100% stability, resistance uptime and top raid tier dps are having a kittening blast as well.
It's not fun. At all. The outnumbered buff does nothing besides giving another reason to keep throwing your dead body at a wall. Lot of the skills are bugged as hell, letting people pull you from ~2000 range, or even through the goddamn door.

Do you get the same error message referring to this?
*--> Crash <--*
Assertion: MathRectIsValid(*margins)
File: D:\Perforce\Live\NAEU\v2\Code\Gw2\Engine\Frame\FrApi.cpp(474)If so, this is probably related to
something similar yeah, I did saw this part but don't have the full crash info saved, and the dmp file only lists the affected dll-s

Thought it was a one off because I was alt-tabbing around but no, it happens every time since yesterday. Crash dmp shows 0x80000003 exception error.

If you're running ArcDPS and haven't updated it in a while, try updating, disabling or removing it to see if that sorts it. There was a recent patch that broke it pretty hard a few weeks ago, and the game wouldn't run at all (at least for me) if it was loaded. Arc seems to have gotten fixed now so it doesn't do that anymore, but it did take them a while to catch up.
i did have it but i downloaded it 3 days ago or so, i uninstalled just in case but the crash still happened

Happens during alt tabbing, most notably when a video of any site is playing in the background. The system doesn't record anything other than the usual the system shut down unexpectedly error. Only gw2 does this, no other games, and only since the latest patch. GPU driver is a stable older one from early this year, since that was working the best, and the newer versions fix nothing relatable to my card or the game.
Entire pc locks up, sound freezing and replaying constantly that quarter a second as the screen freezes, only restart helps.

Pause map closing timer during meta
.It's really irritating when you're at the final boss of a not too frequented meta, with a full squad mind you, but that's not enough to remove the map closing timer, so the timer ends during the boss, only to get booted into another map in the same place, where you have no other option just to die, because you can't tp out(taking damage) and can't go out(closed doors from meta)

And before you mention sure it costs 160g to try the hand, it can also return ~200g, yes, but more often it will just net you a ~120g loss.

Yeah.... blame the EU for that..... and Anet for not fixing it.
Basically, the EU passed a low about gambling, partially as a result of like Lootcrate type services, but in effect it also attacked in-game "games of chance" in any instance where real world money could be somehow converted into playing that game of chance.
Since one could technically use real world money to buy gems, convert that into gold, use the gold to buy ecto, then use the ecto to "gamble" on the hands of Sandstorm (game from casino in Crystal Desert)..... which is the ONLY way to get the Supreme Rune of Holding..... We players got effected by that damned EU law.
As a result, Anet put a "20 per day" limit on the number of rounds you can play in the Sandstorm game.... this caused the rune price to go from about 8g to 22g within a week (announced in game update at the start of May 2023). It has some what gone down since then.... but still more than double what it was in April, and close to triple what it was a year ago.
To correct the issue, Anet needs to either make the runes drop much more often while keeping the 20 hands per day limit..... or they need to provide some other method in the game to get the runes which is not time gated via the anti-gambling laws of the EU.The 20 per day limit doesn't really defend the fact that to get the material to craft, you have to use gambling which each hand with a proper chance costs around 160 gold... The EU has nothing to do with this, and actually sounds like a schizopost. Sure the limit may affect it but bottom line is, you reduced the cost to only one bag expansion, instead of 2, for an upgrade thats less than a bag expansion's price.

WvW repetable Fractal reward track. Getting all you need for full ascended set so you can run a higher fractals could be a grind, so at least give second option for grind.
20k points in wvw is grindy on its own. And if all we miss is more ascended so be it. Most important is ascended weapon and armour piece. But mats for crating are also good. Could be keys.
You can earn shards in WvW progression, the higher tier you reach in each "season" the more you get. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grandmaster_Mark_Shard
These can be used to buy Grandmaster Marks, which in turn can be used to buy ascended gear, both in WvW and PVP, and even at the fractal traders.

Add proper drops for supreme rune of holding.
Getting a bag from 20 slots to 32 has a cost of around 342 gold FOR THE RUNES ALONE. This is ridiculous.
For reference, that gold is enough to buy gems and buy 2 bag slot expansions, and you'll still have about 14 gold left, and that's excluding the other savings from not crafting the bag.

Just finished hammering at the boss for 10 minutes straight. I have a raid dps build and we had about a full squad of people, that are veterans, and a few low level hanging around.
The boss is just way too tanky, while posing no challenge at all. The new moves are nice, but the damage can be pretty much ignored. I've been standing in overlapping ice storms casually ressing some other guy, who died afking in them.
The damage really needs some increase, to actually challenge and teach new people, as well as not making high level players afk on it. A lower hp pool would make the fight an actual fight instead of a chore as well.
Fire Elemental for example, is great on all accounts. Sure that takes 10 minutes of hammering as well with that hp pool, but due to the damage and other hazards it's actually engaging.

This step in the meta progression is bugged since it's inception. Often times salvaged parts can't be turned in, and if there are a lot of players, the scaling and the bug together prevents completing the event and continuing the chain altogether.

I don't know what was the plan here, but it's pretty hard to dps when she spends 70% of the time given being untargetable, and the rest being pretty much invulnerable because we have to go get her tail. Maybe we just got unlucky with the attacks because we had to breakbar her twice in the whole meta, not counting the whirl one, but if that's a case, then it's yet another thing to fix. There are too many instances where she dashes on the platform to get to the other end with her tail changing position as well, wait a hot second or maybe 2 if we're lucky, and do it again to change back.

I was looking forward to the elementalist, as I generally have more fun with it than say warrior or revenant. For me, it really underperformed.
Let's start with the Sphere.
I feel like it suffers from the same problem the Rollerbeetle did when it got released. You start out with 0 energy, and it fills slowly. It lasts long but it feels weak, which only helps in point control situations. Chances are you won't be fighting for 15 seconds in a 400 unit area.
A great solution to this would be adding some initial energy, like what revenant has, reducing the duration and improving the effects or the tick rate of the spheres.Augments feel clunky. Getting stunned right in front of your sphere, making you use your lightning augment without the bonus doesn't feel too good. The augments also have a rather long cast time for something that feels like a waste if not used in a sphere corresponding to the element. Would feel much better if it would check if the caster is in the sphere at the ticks instead of the time of casting.
The orbs, for how weak they feel, last for so little time, that some hammer skills cannot be used reliably before switching attunement and casting the sphere again. Namely the lightning and earth 2nd skills. Some synergy traits would feel nice, given that most of the catalyst trais are just flat % buffs. For a rather close range profession the orbs also feel too far away to actually cause passing damage, leaving it up to grand finale to actually deal some.
Now that the orbs are out of the way, let's end it with the long one, the hammer skills. Pretty much all of them feel slow, even with quickness.
Fire
1. Some minor splash damage without the burning applied would feel nice, or if the projectile and cast speed was sped up a bit, because right now both are extremely slow. Or maybe piercing, as hammer 2 has that.
5. For a massive flame blast, one would expect to set some targets on fire, or maybe deal more damage than something with 3rd of the cooldown.
Water
The only heal there, including the sphere, is the 4th leap skill, which is also the only gap closer in the entire hammer set for a mostly close range profession.
Lightning
2. Adding some slow debuff or replacing vulnerability with it would be much more reliable. Also, it's a spin to win skill with no whirl finisher to it, for a profession that should focus on combos.
5. Feels unreliable with the combination of cast time, travel time and activation time for the stun.
Earth
2. Is rather slow, and doesn't have a whirl finisher either.
Now that I mentioned. Each attunement has only one finisher.-

@trev.1045 said:Simple one for me- i know that eventually ill have enough HP unlocked for all specs, but i am baffled as to why you cant reset HP spent on elite specs. I would imagine it is a design decision rather than 'too much work' however as it is such a simple thing.
You'll end up with about 370 extra hero points by the endgame. There is literally zero reason to do that. Might be a bit noob friendly being able to respec any time but this is not call of duty to please the casualest of them all.

Make this into a daily reward from bitterfrost frontier: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Frozen_Exotic_Weapon_FragmentIts an expensive thing so 3 dailys from that map and you get one or smth like that. Some of us still have one laying around :anguished:

A mystic forge recipe for Mystic Clover.Its already really hard to get and risky if you want to do it the "cheap" way. There are a lot of ascended materials that just lay around doing nothing but the droprate is insane. Sure sure its useful for legendary crafting. But not THAT MUCH.Could just combine a stack of Dragonite, Bloodstone and Empyrial to a gift, Airship Oil, Auric Dust and Ley Line spark into another, add obsidian shard and some mystic crystal or smth and bam, a reasonable recipe for a high end material.

Make Gift of Battle avaliable in PvE
in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Posted
Love how all the points I'm making fly over your head.
Armor was mentioned as an example of proper design, so anet is aware that the old design sucks.
I wanted to love wvw and i did so years ago, now its a complete shitshow. Thats the point. And youre forced to endure said shitshow because of a legendary you plan on making.
Yeah riveting gameplay.
