[Storyline Disconnects - [Merged]]

This is still a problem. Especially if  with 2+ people in story the disconnects are more frequent and everyone has to start over.

In addition, I freely admit to purchasing items with Real-world Currency through the cash shop as I feel I have more money than I do time. But spending more money on a game that seems to be taking away my enjoyment of playing just means I am less likely to play and therefore spend more money.

 

Please revert the changes made to the Jade Protocol Mechanics and allow some of us to go back to having fun and giving your company money.

Well said. And this applies to many player including me. Wonder how long we have to wait for Anets response to this madness of a decision. I also wonder where this decision came from? Whatever the reason was, it took away the fun in Open World content.

what a way to destroy open world gameplay Arena Net. Revert the jade protocol changes ASAP.  Stop killing the fun for the players.

[August 23 Balance Update Preview]

PvE:
The Ranger and Mirage's axe nerf were NOT needed at all.
There was nothing wrong with Mirage's axe. Why nerf it?
Mesmer Staff was already strong. Why Buff it?
Ranger long and shortbow are still very weak. Needs a dmg buff.
Guardian's Longbow could use more buffs. The CD's are way to long it cripples the gameplay.
Thief venom changes were also not needed.
Please stop nerfing stuff that don't need it. Its not fun anymore.

Just some feedback from a new player freshly level 80 on their first character regarding story and mastery points:

 

The leveling experience in this game is fun and brisk which meant that I was level 80 well before I even finished my personal story. Due to level scaling this was totally fine as zones/dungeons were still fun to play through, however reaching level 80 also meant that experience would start going towards the mastery point unlocks. This is fine except for the horribly obnoxious pop-up that comes up every single time you get experience. Every single time. From anything. This wouldn't be a big deal if dismissing it would make it not pop up again, but it just wouldn't stop. It also covers nearly the entire chat window.

 

Herein lies the major problem. I am playing this game for the story. I want to play it in order. To get the pop-up to stop, the game expects you to start right into Heart of Thorns or Path of Fire and do the prologue and one subsequent mission to unlock the mastery system. I had to Google around to figure out if I could just skip the plot to avoid spoilers and just click through everything. Fortunately with the expansions it seems I can replay the missions... Except the prologue? Not the end of the world but as a new player this is very frustrating. Especially because if you want to play the Living World Season 2 before moving on to Heart of Thorns... You'd have to deal with the pop-up and get no mastery experience.

 

Please, ArenaNet, revisit the new player experience. Make the mastery system an unlock as a part of the base game since core Tyria already has mastery points. This is a frustrating and confusing user experience.

This. Please remove the returning annoying mastery point pop-ups.
To add on the new player experience. Me and my wife came from years of WoW and LOTRO. GW2 core game is fine and offers abit challange. But when we went into HoT we got absolutely destroyed. We are very dependend on other people grouping to finish the maps, especially hero points. And there aren't alot of people. Forget solo-play, thats just for the core game. HoT is not solo-play and new-player friendly. And we still havent reached PoF. We bought everything up to EoD. If only we had known sooner.
