Guild Wars 2

I know this is a miniscule complaint to be had, and to be honest I’ve been absolutely LOVING the expansion so far, but it’s something that I just know is going to bother me for a long time coming if I’m stuck with it!

With the mastery system, after I did glider training I decided to train Pact Commander, AKA the one that lets you be a ‘mentor’ to newbie players with your own little map tag and everything.

One of the bonuses to this is having a permanent swiftness buff in all major cities(Leader of the Pact I), which is nice, but that also means that my character permanently has a swiftness trail even when they’re walking! Obviously that’s no problem for usual swiftness application, but as a permanent effect, it’s already started to bother me a lot.

I’m hoping it wouldn’t be much trouble at all to remove the visual effect from that permanent boon, and I understand that if it was looked into, it’d be VERY low priority.

Haha, I knew there was someone else out there that had an issue with it! As it stands, it seems like it would be fairly low priority

Seems like the kind of thing that should be toggleable.

Right! I looked all over to see if I could, but no luck. ;-;

Yeah, sounds like an oversight. >.< I mean, you’d think if you’re the “master” of something, you have some control over it, but I guess they didn’t think of that one for swiftness.

The only thing we have an issue with is the swiftness trail effect from the buff. Since it’s a buff effect it’s not something that is usually toggle-able

At first I was thinking maybe the buff’d only be active when you have the mentor tag on, but I can see how that’d annoy some people too. I don’t mind the buff itself being permanent so long as the yellow trail stops following me around wherever I go(in a city)!

As a roleplayer, I kind of wish I hadn’t trained Pact Commander now due to those trails while walking. Lack of foresight I suppose… would love a toggle. I guess my hopes aren’t high but… I’ll still hope.
