this is as kittenous as the weaver bug a couple months back, at least in PvP. So exciting to go explore a new meta and new builds to just not be able to play because a minimum of one of these people is in every match. Love that you can't report people for utilizing an exploit as well, so you just have to pick the next best option, of which there isn't really.

The solution for block is to make the block length scale with the number of blades stocked, as well as the damage, rather than where it's at now where you always get the full block and only the damage scales on number of blades. It makes it need to be more skillfully used and planned out, rather than just an easy panic button.

Like many others, I have positives and negatives about both. The negatives from the June 2022 patch really outweigh the positives, and that's close to being the case here. The vast majority of the current Necro changes feel bad, I think some of the Mesmer, particularly virtuoso, are a little over done (but I'm glad to see mirage getting it's two dodges back while not enabling the worst bit of them, being able to dodge while cc'd coming from a competitive view), and adding these boons onto scourge, bladesworn, and to a lesser extent untamed, just feels bad and like their shoehorning in boons where they aren't needed. But, I'm very excited about druid changes, and ranger alac, the overall cool down changes, and hopeful about the quick herald changes. So ultimately I guess I'm more positive than negative about this patch, but not by much. Still much better than last year's where the bad feels far outweighed the good.

I've managed to get my game working by updating to the newest version of NVIDIA drivers, as well as running the Windows System File Checker with the help of support. Recommend anyone else with the issue giving this a try!

Following the patch this morning 5/23/23, upon either attempting to load in on a character, or apparently selecting a different character in the character select, the game freezes (when it happens during loading into a map, the spinning icon in the bottom right ceases to exist). Eventually, after clicking around in the window, the Windows message indicating that the program has stopped responding shows up, and the program can be killed. No Anet crash report is generated like some crashes. No add-ons are running, the computer has been restarted, drivers are all up-to-date as of a week or so ago. Against started with the May 23 patch, as of the previous night everything was running shipshape through multiple raids and character swaps.

Does anyone have the full Arborstone track unlocked? I'm wondering if it can be purchased from one of the master crafters specifically there, as they're the only crafting people in Cantha at this point

Do we know what time on the 28th it'll be available? Are we talking like 1 AM on the 28th, or 12:59 AM on the 28th? Or even server reset.

I've just started having this happen over the past two or three days. I have had multiple hard crashes, with bug report pop-ups and everything, in the middle of PvP matches. This just happened twice in the same match, I believe both times right after I had been in downstate and then died to a scrapper's function gyro. I think this is also affecting anyone who died to it, meaning if two people are downed at the same spot, they'll both crash out. Not positive about any of this (other than something is making me and others in the same match crash at the same time), but it does seem to be the commonality between the instances. I've already disabled any add-ons or overlays, started running in DX9 instead of DX11, none of which appears to have fixed it.
