Guild Wars 2

1. For the past two weeks, the game server (I am on Seas of Sorrows) seems to be experiencing a lot of latency. This was evidenced by the large number of players disconnecting and experiencing lag during world boss fights. I did several tests to ensure it wasn’t my internet connection that was causing the issue, such as running other online applications and asking on the Map Chat if others are experiencing net latency in the game. Please do look into this as I almost missed the Megadestroyer reward, and I DID miss the Inquest Golem Mark II reward due to disconnection and had to do it again.

2. Infusions. I’m not sure if the ArenaNet team has gotten this often, but what is the rationale behind such terrible stats on offensive and defensive infusions? The utility infusions are amazing but the other two types are terrible to say the least and it doesn’t help that only Amulets are allowed to have Utility Infusions. Laurels are not easy to earn and I think it’s only fair if Infusions are stronger than the standard Trinket Upgrade jewels. If changing the stats on Infusions isn’t feasible, please at least add upgrade slots to Ascended Trinkets like the way Ascended Weapons can use Sigils, so we may add decent jewels to the Ascended Trinkets.

3. Unique Tooltip. Items that players can only equip one of, such as the Ring of Red Death in my earlier issue should have a more explicit tooltip than just the “Unique” label. The word ‘unique’ by itself isn’t quite clear on the fact that a player is not allowed to equip more than one of that item on the character. I hope that ArenaNet can address this to avoid unnecessary confusion among players getting Ascended Trinkets.

4. With currencies now being shared across all characters on an account, as well as the permanent harvesting tools being upgraded to account bound status, could ArenaNet look into setting equipment from Soulbound to Account Bound status instead? I am beginning to build secondary characters, to try new professions and I would save a lot of time and resources if I can use some of the equipment from my primary character.
