  1. There are guilds that help people with difficult or unpleasant content.  Try asking in the guild sub-forum? 

    Just don't get scammed.  The most a guild should want, is for you to help other members run difficult content, and/or go from map to map trying to recruit new members in map chat.  They should not demand guild dues or materials for nothing and then kick you.

    Edit: the sub-forum seems to no longer exist.  In that case ask for a helpful guild in players helping players.  I guess the LFG sub-forum of instanced content?

  2. There are mesmer traits to grant extra healing, toughness, and I think power? for each illusion a mesmer has on the field.  I could see setting the clones to passive and then attacking the enemies that the clones aren't attached to.  Or play as a mesmer healer and enjoy the healing buff of three illusions as my clones just wander the battlefield aimlessly.  I think that the traits that grant bonuses for each illusion would get nerfed if we could set them to passive.   There are two skills that allow us to shift the targets that our clones are attacking.  I believe that this is intentional as the clones die when their targeted opponent dies.  Being able to change the target of all of my clones could substantially increase their lifespan.  

    I am not sure I can really think of mesmers as a summoning class, or a class with pets.  Mesmer illusions seem to be more of a lengthy spell effect rather than actual minions.

  3. There are hidden chests buried around with 20 baubles each, you can dig those up once per day also.  Then there are baubles hidden behind bomb-able walls, even bombable floors.

    I am not certain why you limit yourself to 1-1

    2-1 has a 50 bauble chest buried beneath the start of the long bridge.

  4. For commanders who make a squad exclusively from the variants of a single profession. 

    I suggest the Gerrymander.  The icon would be some ridiculous shape with uneven sides random projections and curves.

    For example: a squad with just thieves, deadeyes, daredevils, and specters; but some are running builds that provide boon support, healing, ect.

    Seriously though, this is blocking people.  How can we trust them to be timely in the future with fixes and progression blockers when something so trivial is shrugged off for over a week as unimportant.  I get there are bugs, and then there is apathy.  

    My dude, Anet devs are fast as hell when compaired to other mmos! 

    Try languishing for months or even years (Wakfu), hoping for a fix to a major problem.  Sure, you can be upset that something broke, but don't expect some temporary stop-gap measure to be implemented while they fix the problem.  These aren't the original devs and they have to be careful that their fixes don't break several other things.

  6. I am fairly sure the catmander tag is simply a play on words for commander.

    I suppose a lizard tag for salamander, or possibly a flame. 

    After that, a leaf for salad-mander. (It doesn't have to be sylvari exclusive, but sylvari commanders will probably want one.)

    For anyone who still likes Taimi there could be a walkie-talkie icon for a comm-mander.

    Although the OP's post was removed, part of it has been quoted and indicates he/she purchased a service NPC in Eye of the North and lost it when exiting the area because he/she supposedly doesn't own Path of Fire.  That seems debatable as he/she has posted about owning 'HoF' and 'HoT'.  🤷‍♂️

    Huh it sounds like OP simply ended up in a different instance from the one the service npc had spawned in.   I suppose Op might have returned hours later after the original map had closed.  I can understand thinking that paying for map services should allow a player to access those services permanently.  Though reading that it is supposed to be a group contribution would be a clue that the service is temporary.   It would be kind of Anet to describe the services as, Temporary services, within the ingame description.  Perhaps throw in a line about the summoned service only being for a limited time so the commander had better hurry.

  8. The first point in  the op sounds interesting.  I am not sure about all of the scrolling mentioned.

    I have encountered two mechanics that sound vaguely similar.

      One was a temporary buff that was sold by a renown heart vendor.  I had thought that the npc was selling a consumable with an hour duration.  The vendor allowed me to buy multiple at a time.  I spent some karma buying 10 and then looked for them in my inventory.  I found nothing, then I looked at my boons and found the buff.  It was only for an hour, buying multiple had done nothing for intensity or duration.  A bit frustrating

    The second similar idea are npcs that summon services to a map when you give resources, including gold.  Some of those service npcs have little or no functionality unless you have the proper mastery.  The summoning npc doesn't have a way to check a player's masteries.  It will absolutely allow you to pay for a service npc that won't sell you anything.

    Those are my guesses.

  9. They kind of tried by making spear-like skins for staff.  Infantry spears (the shorter ones, not pikes) were often swung around.  Because if you did stab someone properly with one, you also had to properly remove it from their body.  I hope you have a friend next to you, or at least a club, because the enemy isn't going to give you time to retrieve your spear.

    Edit: that is go say, it was quite common for soldiers with spears to use the spear like a quarter staff and just beat the enemy to death.

  10. The stoneskin infusion is not limited to one per account.  It is just one guaranteed infusion per account.  The stoneskin infusion is also a super rare drop from deldrimor supply boxes.  I own two stoneskin infusions on the same account.

    I opened one from a deldrimor supply box and then bought the guaranteed one, because I had thought that they would visually stack. It turns out two stoneskin infusions slotted looks visually the same as just one.  

    You will need to grind a bunch of dragon response missions for defense seals, or make the daily drm part of your routine.  Good luck!

  11. I still think that there should be a replacer toggle to turn all of the spiders ingame into the Halloween plastic spiders.  The legs don't move, it just kinda bounces from left to right as it moves forward.   At least I hope the plastic spider models wouldn't trigger arachnophobia.  I do not personally have a problem with the regular game spiders, but I think that the substitution would be cute and funny.

  12. If you are willing to wear an exotic equip you can socket the upgrade component that people would convert to an infusion.  Polysaturating undulating refractors are like 5 to 20 gold and give the same visual effect as the Polysaturating infusion.  Because they are only upgrade components the refractors need to be slotted into level 80 exotic gear. 

    Hyleck hue potions can also change your color.  The potions only work for five minutes at a time.  They are bought from renown heart merchant's in sparkly fen and are soulbound to the character making the purchase.  There is a blue hyleck hue potion.

    Hmm apparently they fixed the map change problem during an EoD patch.  So if you equip your infusions in the correct order the stack stays the same during map changes.

    You can combine Polyluminescent Infusions with a Polysaturating Infusions to have it only apply to the skin.

    They should know that the effect depends on the order that the infusions are equipped.  Switching maps can randomly change this.  The game has a 50% chance to get it wrong when changing maps.  The fix is to re-equip an infusion slotted equip.  If they are using legendary equipment they will need to un-slot and re-slot one of those infusions. I think the luminescent infusion needs to be applied last, I forget.
