1.Trading Post – This clearly was thought out to only use for people who sale 1-2 things at a time. After running a couple dungeons or farming events in Cursed Shore for a little… It takes me every bit of 15-30 minutes to just sale the stuff on the TP! The transactions go through faster (bravo) but… it takes a long time to click the item you want to sale, click the top seller to “sale now”, go back up to your slider bar for quantity change, then finally click to sale it.

2.Hearts in Plains of Ashford, Caledon Forest, etc. – It took me almost an hour of roaming around and asking where to find the hearts that needed to be recompleted. These are areas I had already 100% completed… now I have to go back and find hearts on my map that are not seen!!! I had to literally walk around until they popped up because there was not any Telescopes to show where they were… I had already uncovered all of the map so it wasn’t indicative of where to go.

3.Warrior Adrenaline – My main isn’t a Warrior, but he is one of my backups… Adrenaline is so bloody broken at this point it cannot even be used. The only time I have been able to gain 100% adrenaline is on a long world boss fight. If you are just doing open world map clear / farm, etc. The mobs are spread just far enough apart that you lose all adrenaline before you can take the 5 steps to get in range of the next mob.

4.Tequatl poison – So the first time I fought Teq after update we went down to under 1 minute left before we killed him. The poison is ridiculously insane… I’ve been in organized groups every time. We even fought him again last night… (this time it was an organized guild kill) and we majorly struggled with him. This coming from a guild that has killed him every night since this fight was changed.

5.Lag – So some people state they are better now than before. I used to be fine… I can’t even run dungeons now, I cannot run WvW, I cannot play PvP…. Every single aspect of this game I enjoyed is such a lagfest I come back from a few seconds of freeze that I’m dead… I turned down my settings and this is still happening… I used to NEVER lag. Now I lag with everything I try to do.

6.New Player System – So I wanted to check out the New Player System. I leveled one of my alts a few levels just to see how the rewards were. The first level – account bound crap… fine no biggie. Then the next level I get a free Unidentified Dye! Thanks, for that… but now I wonder… is this game now catering to the new players only. I already have 4 level 80’s. I don’t really want to have to level another one. Here is an idea… every time I gain a level at 80… give me 1 free T6 mat. Just 1…. That could help drive down the overpriced T6 mats for those of us vets that are working on legendaries (plus those who haven’t built 1 yet).

If they did this, people would buy less gems to convert to gold, so this will never happen.

Exactly… I’d rather pay $15 a month and get a game where I feel like the creators care about me and my experience.

I don’t want to spend a years worth of monthly subscription fees in 1 month!

The typical player will not either. If this is the market ANET is chasing then they need a new marketing group.

I had 100% map, too and absolutely zero problems finding the new stuff. The little compass-arrow points you to undiscovered stuff, including scouts, who will show you the new hearts. They’re even highlighted on the map. Just follow the arrow; there is no reason to blindly roam the countryside.

I’ve noticed no difference in the poison.
Apart from that.. Turret Skill #3. If you let the clouds build up, of course they’ll become a big problem, but that’s what the turrets are for.

I’ve paid $15 a month for many MMOs in the past and never once really felt the creators cared about me.

You don’t see complaints on every single MMORPG forum? Some are even worse than this (though maybe not today lol).

Then you must be one of those range people who do not really add value to Teq fights.

I have a solution for issue no.3:

1 – Remove berserker gear.

2 – Equip toughness or some other.

3 – Problem solved.

PS, that was not an unidentified dye that you got unless you got it from a loot bag from a personal story or something. It was only a identified dye. It shows at the bottom of the rewards page that you can use unidentified dyes now (actually you can use them at any level but this is all part of anet confusing things for people :P)

I have been farming keys the last 2 days and I have been getting these dyes every time, it’s a choice of 1 of 3 specific colours. Sadly it is not that unidentified dye.

Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?

No… it was an unidentified dye…. I leveled up using “Tome of Knowledge” and it clearly gave me an unidentified dye. I sold it on the TP for 30 silver or so.

Thanks though!

Ahh ok, your char can’t have been low lvl then, prob mid or high level.

But seriously, remove that Berserker gear. :P

Oh man, I hope not.

However, it would be nice to have more ways to get an Unidentified Dye.

I have been getting them often enough from the new loot bags that you get in personal story. So I think the prices on the unidents should drop a bit soon. In fact I noticed a 10 silver drop today…it may continue if people keep on doing their PS.

Good answer!
