Event participation in WvW has always been dodgy at best.. Both when it comes to defending and attacking. Being able to (again) throw a few supplies in a wall or a gate to guarantee I get the defend even if I don't manage to kill a player was a blessing, because a lot of the time attackers are either so overwhelmingly powerful there's no way to get a kill before you get flattened, or they run off mid attack granting you nothing (even though that is technically the very definition of successfully DEFENDING an objective). Sometimes even getting 3-4 kills during a defend event doesn't trigger event participation. Me and another player just killed (the only) 2 people attacking the Lord in a tower, and repaired the 3 broken walls, and I didn't get participation defending that tower... It's so broken atm I'm just about to give up getting Tower Guardian this week. I fully understand that having people standing around half afk putting supply in a wall every 5 minutes isn't what devs wish to obtain, but taking it away completely just messes things up even more. Make it diminishing returns instead; first wall repair full credit, 2nd partial, 3rd minimal, 4th none. Most attacks you won't (legitimately) repair walls/gates more than a few times during an attack before the attackers are either victorious or defeated. I'd rather have it work this way than be completely removed.

I run no 3rd party programs.. "Shadows" changed from Ultra to High seems to have solved the crash issue.

I mean.. I crafted all 4 versions ages ago, and recently salvaged them since I have Legendary Backpacks.. I really think the wardrobe skin being unlocked should suffice for the achievement. Crafting another one for an achievement is kinda.. meh.

The thing is.. I can gift each and every component of the bundle, but not the reduced price bundle. That kind of annoys me, and makes me curious as to why they blocked the bundle from being gifted. It simply makes no sense. :/ Especially since there are bundles that can be gifted (the "Extra Life" bundle in the gem store right now for instance). https://i.imgur.com/wUL1oZq.jpg

I mean, it shouldn't be as it's definitely just a bundle of already specified items.. there's no "gambling" involved. It just reduces the total cost to get all the items compared to buying them separately. :/

Is there a reason I can gift say the Butler Outfit and the Maid Outfit to a friend, but I can't gift them the Maid and Butler Package? Are all "bundles" excluded? Why? xD

Using the Virtuoso elite "Thousand Cuts" will not trigger this achievement, while for instance the basic elite "Time Warp" will.

I'm from Norway and I've tried multiple sites and I just keep getting blocked cuz I'm from the "wrong country". Why don't they just add the 20% discount to the in-game gem purchases? Why does it have to be gem cards that aren't available to everyone? I mean, in-game gems are already more expensive than gem cards to begin with. At least give us something!

If you're using a Credit Card that might be the issue. Atleast when I contacted support about this on the 9th they said it was a known issue.. :/ PayPal and Gem Cards are workarounds though. Too bad I can't use either without involving other people. xD

Wait.. so, first people get a Free mount select licence, and then 1000 gems on top of that, just for logging in? Nice.... /sarcasm

instead of making her spawn later make chooper spawn earlier. Agreed. Best fix would be to make choppers spawn 30 seconds BEFORE bosses spawn rather than after.. And not change anything else. That way you still have the full 20 minutes to kill all 5 bosses.

I'm assuming he used to command the meta before he took a break, but I don't know the guy. All I know is he said "wow, couldn't wait? f u" and tagged down. Patriarch with his, what? 5 minutes? That is "forever" to you? Sounds like you're a bit impatient. And again, how is changing something like making helicopters spawn earlier (best option imo), or bosses spawn later/be invulnerable longer (less good option), "making sure the 1000 players that kill it daily now need to take 3 times as long" ??? Slowing down a kill doesn't necessarily mean boost the boss' HP. And, even if a change does make it take three times longer, what do you think is more likely.. 1000 players that farm that boss daily rage-quitting because it now takes 3-6 minutes to kill the boss, or people that are new to the content or returning players giving it a pass because whenever they tried to do it it didn't work?

You saying you seriously believe that there is only ONE returning/new player? Sure.Also, nobody's talking about changing "everything", it's literally a suggestion to make sure bosses don't spawn/aren't able to die before the way upstairs is available. If that totally breaks people's game and removes all fun with VB meta then.. I really don't know what to say.

Uhm. He was the only commander. Either way, that people "split" to the other bosses doesn't fix the fact that he secured the Pact Encampment rally point, used the helicopter to get to Matriarch, only to find her already dead. He obviously didn't know that nowadays it's a "thing" to camp the boss and kill her before anyone has a chance to get up.. That's why I'm assuming he was a returning player, and with bs like bosses being dead before people get to them "the right way" (remember when people wouldn't do Shadow Behemoth pre cuz it meant they probably wouldn't reach the boss?) might make people like him not stick around. And that something's been broken a long time, doesn't make it right, or mean it can't be fixed.
