  1. 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.
  2. I run no 3rd party programs.. "Shadows" changed from Ultra to High seems to have solved the crash issue.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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. :/
  6. 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
  7. Using the Virtuoso elite "Thousand Cuts" will not trigger this achievement, while for instance the basic elite "Time Warp" will.
  8. 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!
  9. 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
  10. Wait.. so, first people get a Free mount select licence, and then 1000 gems on top of that, just for logging in? Nice.... /sarcasm
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Guys.. So many of you are missing the point. I don't need to get the Skyscale, I already have it. You shouldn't NEED it.I don't need to unlock all the Masteries, I already have them. You shouldn't NEED them.I don't have an issue parking a character there because I can play any of my other 27 characters while I wait. You shouldn't NEED to. Nobody should be able to kill the boss before those legitimately doing the pre-events (and perhaps don't have Skyscale/Masteries, the ability to leave a characterlogged out on the platform etc) are even able to get there using the INTENDED way of getting there. Being able to burn it down before people following the correct path even get up on the platform means the event is broken. It needs fixing. The reason I'm even making this post isn't because I feel sorry for myself (I can camp her just fine), it's because a commander on the map was diligently helping out throughout the day events, then waited at the helicopter location with his group (from what he typed in chat I got the impression he used to play during HoT and just came back from a long break, but I could be wrong), and by the time the helicopters landed and they got up on the platform she was already dead. He got so disappointed he just tagged down and logged off. That shouldn't be able to happen. There are multiple ways of fixing the issue, and I hope ANet does.
  16. Afaik it's only Glint's Bastion that requires this Adventure, and it "only" requires Bronze completion. However I can only imagine the frustration of not being able to obtain it.. :/I remember spending a LONG time there getting Silver reward just to get the last Mastery point I needed to unlock my last HoT Mastery.. Ugh. :|
  17. The last 6 times I've killed her she's been dead within a minute and a half, longest was probably closer to two. I have screenshots where she has spawned with 20:20 remaining, invulnerability drops off at 20:19, and she's already dead at 19:17.. so one minute two seconds. Perhaps I've been lucky with maps, but I haven't seen any failures to break her bar since I started doing HoT maps again. However, if that is a concern then perhaps they could implement one of my other ideas such as earlier helicopters, later spawn, or longer invulnerability which would not affect the time it takes to kill her and would not make the fight unbearable if people mess up. I just find it ridiculous that a boss can be dead before those taking the INTENDED ROUTE to her even get there.
  18. I've been doing the Verdant Brink bosses again lately, and noticed a huge problem; Unless you're already standing on top of the Matriarch's Perch when she spawns, you won't get to her before she's dead. People literally waiting where the helicopters that take you up into the canopy spawn, don't make it up to the platform before she goes down.Now I get most experienced players have done her a whole bunch of times, and "expect" her to melt, and are probably standing on the platform when she pops up ready to wreck her, but if you're new to the game, new to the expansion(s), don't have all the masteries, mounts.. It's not all that easy getting up there. And nobody should have to leave a character parked at a boss spawn for an entire day/night cycle to have a chance at killing it. Can you either make her spawn later, her invulnerability last longer, the helicopters spawn sooner, or make her take longer to kill? As it is now it's kinda ridiculous.. It's almost on par with the Champion Svanir Shaman before his buff..
  19. All I learned from yet another disappointing reward/compensation action taken by ANet is next time servers are wobbly, log in anyway. Seems they stopped caring about being fair, and they're rewarding ignorance/stupidity.. Brilliant.
  20. This decision feels just as shitty as the decision to say "thank you" to HoT buyers by giving them a choice of skins to unlock, and if you already unlocked them by spending gems then you got nothing. Can't say I'm surprised at the "unfairness" yet again. Seems those in charge of the rewards don't even look at everyone's point of view, concider all possibilities, or care about how they're perceived. And no, I don't even want the stupid Select License, as I've already spent gems buying ALL of the skins and it would, yet again, be a completely useless item to me. Maybe instead of giving out items that allow you to select from a limited pool of items that we might have already unlocked, give us gems so we can choose ourselves?? Or something that can be redeemed for something unique. I should just stop spending gems at this game it seems, cuz it does nothing but lessen any "reward" or "compensation" you're given..
  21. It seems now we can use the portals inside Den of Whispers when Drakkar event is not up.I tried 2 hours ago and it didn't work.. but now they seem to have changed colour (to match Ox/Wolverine/Eagle shrines) and were accessible. I am confused.Perhaps there's a timer after Drakkar event before they can be accessed outside the event? I dunno. Weird that events can spawn inside them before they are accessible if that is the case.
  22. The raven portals where? In the Drakkar fight room? Seems a bit weird you have to wait for a glitch to do an ordinary event? :anguished:
  23. I actually didn't even think of this being a possible scenario. That is probably it though. :astonished:
  24. I personally participate in the events where my participation will actually speed up completions.. For instance, timer stops at 200 gates passed. Worth it. Tributes? F that. Gonna take max time no matter how much I work. Not worth it. As for taunting actively participating players, that's a totally different level. I've seen ppl AFK/min efforting.. but never taunting. Hope you have better luck on other maps.
