Can ya'll change the requirement for the elite spec achievements from "complete" to "participate in" the meta event?

 

I'm 0 for 4 on New Kan City and I'm a bit annoyed about it to say the least. It's infuriating to have it fail at the last second when I need to complete it to get the stupid thing for the achievement.

I would really appreciate a small medal icon to denote my current level of participation with an event. Doing event dailies in low level areas is a weird "meta" challenge because l have to try to game the system to guarantee credit for myself while still letting others get theirs. And gaming it is not simple: all events need varying amounts of kill credit, so you can never know how many you need unless you remember the event's specific rules; 75% of events will give you event credit if you heal other participators, but not all will allow this, and not all events will have players to heal; single boss events need 5-10% damage dealt to the boss (or healing participators), but sometimes you get gold for just being there at the start, other times the boss dies quickly and you get bronze despite going all in without having high-end DPS.

lf l knew exactly when l medaled, then l could instantly lay off and let the mob of players handle it. Or if l'm in an expansion map, this would help me know if l'm losing participation for whatever reason instead of suddenly seeing the event greyed out. But for now, l have to give myself an absurd safety net that could take credit away from others.

QoL Suggestion:

Is it possible to have a kind of indicator of time of day, such as a small sun/moon icon attached to the minimap to allow players to see in-game if it's day/dusk/night/dawn.  It seems there's more conditions in EoD relating to time of day, such as achievements for escorts, catching fish, etc.  I don't think that relying on keeping wiki up to inform on this is a good system. (though wiki is great!) 

I realize we have the /time command in chat for Tyrian time, but it doesn't say at which time each of the time of day conditions trigger.  I know I haven't memorized them.  Also, with parts of Cantha being on a different day/night cycle it adds another twist to tracking time of day.

Sorry if this has already come up in this thread; I didn't read through all 217 pages 😄

Suggestion put a makeup slot next to the head armor slot.  Make up slot can give as the word says ur char a certain makeup style (if you want to go full out, make up has dye slots) Make up/ face tattoos as usual via gemshop

 

Second suggestion

Get rid of the underwater Air  breather and replace it with an outfit slot. Underwater outfits are activated the moment u be underwater.

 

thanks that all welcome to reward me for those glorious ideas

If Arenanet wants to give us swim suits, they ought to make it armour skins.

Yes, exactly, separate armour pieces are so much better to mix and match than outfits (although some outfits are nice).

Tattoos are available in norn character creation and some human faces have pre-applied make up. Also there are head pieces that resemble face markings of different sorts (though there are not that many), for example these:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wraith_Masque_(skin)

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mask_of_the_Wanderer_(heavy_skin)

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mask_of_the_Silent_(heavy_skin)

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skull_Masque_(skin)

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Demon_Masque_(skin)

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bloodstained_Lunatic_Noble_Mask

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lunatic_Noble_Mask_(skin)

 

So maybe just more head piece skins would solve the problem?

I wrote another topic in EoD forum, so...

"Good day, my dears!
So, I would like to suggest a few edits about EoD masteries + gameplay moments
1) Please add mini-events to the masteries! Walk up and press F... seriously? Where are the riddles, puzzles like in PoF?
2) EoD maps are amazing, everything is cool... but so few events :(
Please add them more, otherwise it's like I'm running around an empty world and .. nothing more ..
3) FPS stabilization + gamma correction.
Locations are overexposed, FPS drops.. Please fix it
Thanks for attention!

Agree on the maps and masteries. This battery mechanic is stupid af. 


In general, going from PoF fighting a rogue god, rallying forces from all over Elona, visiting the underworld... to whatever this crapshoot of a plot is requiring us to press f, witness endless dialogue, and dealing with literal paperwork... 

This just isn't the quality I was expecting given how much of the rest of the game they pretty much abandoned while making it. Not to mention the delay. It seems like maybe there was a bit too much focus on these terrible masteries and loading it up with voice acting.

I don't think I've ever been this bored with an expansion so fast, and I played Shadowlands.... 

I mean I like playing my specter but like... what am I going to do? Go to Echovald for a reasonable difficulty meta? Collect batteries? Fish and feel my eyes popping out of my skull because I'm having to chase some obnoxious bar instead of being able to enjoy the scenery they spent so much time building? 

I guess I could do some of these collections for... trash blues and greens, currency I don't even know where to spend, and 5 achievement points IF I'M LUCKY. 

Also, do they even know how ugly these maps look with all these interactable jade tech mastery things littering them? I guess I just need to turn the interactable text off from always displaying. 

Just so many bad ideas this expansion and I'm guessing the complexity of this jade tech mastery is to just make it seem like a more fleshed out system? Seems like time and resources that would have been better spent elsewhere."

Please give us an option to display FPS and ping like in ESO. I know that nvidia shadowplay is good for the fps thing (although it sometimes won't work that much sometimes and shows "entf" instead of fps unless I restart the game and geforce experience) but there's no option to track ping. Especially as ping is very bad on EU servers this would be a good thing. Also ESO has this, why can't GW2 have this without constantly having the options window to be opened? The ping tracking would be very helpful especially in raid situations because I'm usually the healer that disconnects out of nowhere and knowing my ping would be a good way to communicate properly to my team before the disconnect happens.

Hello. I asked Support, who unfortunately couldn't help me and advised me to post in order to the game Devs can see this issue, so here it is :p.

 

I used several Black Lion Chest Keys to unlock the Winged Reverie Skiff Skin, and was able to obtain it. Unfortunately, the roll (right to left movement of the boat) with this model, really few visible with the basic appearance (even if there is one), is such that it makes me instantly sick... I don't get seasick or things like this 'in real life', but there, unfortunately, I won't be able to use this appearance...

 

Is there an option to remove roll from skiffs (moving forward and stopped), please (I searched and it seems not)? Will there be one if there isn't already? Or is there another way to remove this? I find the model very successful and find it’s bad not to be able to use it.

 

Looking at all the other existing skins currently owned by other players, I feel like it's the same for all models. If there is no way to remove the roll, I think I won't buy/try to get any skiff looks, which I find really bad…

 

I take this opportunity to thank you for the game, the extension and all the corrections and adjustments you make to make it even better!

Thanks in advance.

I'm using a translator so please ignore the grammar, thanks.

I think Jadebot can be something much bigger and more profitable for arenanet, Jadebot is cute and cute things sell, he should follow us around the map just like the miniatures, making interactions and being customizable with paints and skins just like the mounts, the core and the chips/sensor should be moved to our character's equipment next door of accessories to make it simpler.

 

Batteries are ugly and shouldn't be scattered in forests, add jade magic(floating orbs like volatile magic) to fast collect for energy and add offensive and defensive buffs for united legions waystation(only works in Cantha), so we don't have to stay looking for buffs when we need them most.

 

Jadebot could have an emote system to interact with other players, if we want to send a heart then a floating balloon appears over the jadebot for everyone to see. Emotes could be sold or collected in-game just like in league of legends.

 

The personal waypoint is awesome but they should consider making it permanent or adding a duration time instead of a single use.

 

That's it. There are so many things that can be done to make it more interesting, hope arenanet take a look.

Please change the button for Descent while flying a Jade Bot. The Skyscale then the Skimmer both standardized the use of C for descent, as well as the flying experience. Changing it to V makes it feel awkward and since it isn't a large part of the game it tends to take a moment to adjust. I can imagine that those that get used to the Bot first before getting flying (or "flying underwater") mounts will feel the opposite.

I like to suggest adding beard helmet skins to the gem shop applyable to any weight armor like the glasses and other skin, don't say its difficult to do, everyone knows that all beards in the game are just accessory skins placed over the face and not actual growing hair from the skin. This way, every race would be able to have a beard without having to make new faces, the beard skins would just replace already existing beards on the characters like any other mouth covering skin does in the game. What about female characters? Just don't use it if you don't want, though I'm sure if someone would use a beard on a female character they would rock it as well as a male. Also would be a good skin to have on sale on no-shave november

Another perhaps significant question... how about to switch Mastery XP-bar in different locations? For example: i wanna run only in Core/HoT/PoF/IBS/EoD (choose one), but i have to do Core/HoT/PoF/IBS/EoD mastery.... so i click on right-mastery icon and choose what do i want to up with XP from Core/HoT/PoF/IBS/EoD content .... It would be a great i think!
