Guild Missions Should Have Their Own Tab

in Suggestions

Topic says it all.

One should be able to press “G,” and then on the list of icons on the left side of the window (Main, Roster, Upgrades, History, Ranks) there should be an icon for Missions or Activated Missions or Current Missions, however you’d like to title it, right underneath Ranks, or wherever else you’d like to place it. Having to go through the Upgrades icon is counter-intuitive.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Edit: After doing a few bounty missions with my guild, my suggestion feels even more necessary. With only 15 minutes to find and kill targets, the scramble to figure out who and where for anyone who doesn’t know where to look currently is frustrating at best. People who are coming into guild bounties for the first time are confused about whether the mission is activated or not, and which targets to find because they don’t know where to look. This info should not be hidden in the upgrades tab of the guild window.

Despite this setback, it should be noted we are having a lot of fun with the bounty missions and really feel a sense of accomplishment when we get all targets (especially in tier 2 [haven’t tried tier 3, yet]) in the short amount of time.

Again, thanks for all your hard work and the great game and the great updates.

There’s a problem when you have to use a 3rd party site for something that should be a functional feature in-game.

Does Anyone Use a Sword/Sword Build?

I tried a sword/sword build, mostly for PvE, but the DPS was crappy. I went all Precision, all Toughness, and 10 in Illusions. Guess that’s why my DPS sucked.
I’m now using a Scepter/Torch Confusion Bombing build which has great DPS but I miss meleeing, and the elegance of sword wielding.

Anyone have any tips on successfully making a Sword/Sword build? Or am I just gonna have to suck it up and be a squishy 30 Power/30 Precision Mesmer. I’d love to be able to do sword/sword w/ confusions and not have to sacrifice toughness.

Signet of Domination and Vulnerability

Signet of Domination’s passive effect is “Improved Condition Damage” which is at:

Increases condition damage by 10 + character level

according to the wiki.

I tend to run with a 1h sword in main hand, which has Mind Slash as it’s first attack, which causes Vulnerability:

Vulnerability is a condition which increases damage the target takes by 1%.

Does Signet of Domination’s passive effect have any effect on Vulnerability? Or are the Conditions that Signet of Domination’s passive effect referring to actually damaging conditions like burning, bleeding, confusion, etc, since vulnerability doesn’t actually do any direct damage?

Did the CM bug fix in the 11/1 update correct the story mode problem with the last boss? The notes are a bit vague and I would hate to run the entire instance (again), only to find I can’t complete the story (again).

Yup. Fixed. Did it this morning. No problems.

Happened to my group too.

Is server capacity permanently based on registered accounts, or current logins at any given moment?

I have a RL friend who just bought the game last night. Naturally, he wants to play on my server (Blackgate). Thing is, at any given time (such as now at 7:30AM EST) the server selection screen states that Blackgate is full, so he can’t choose it. Is it ALWAYS going to show as full because it just isn’t accepting any more new accounts? Or is it just showing full because of the number of people playing at the moments we’ve been checking for him, and we’ve just been unlucky?

If it is the latter, does anyone have any suggestions as to when he should attempt to connect to Blackgate? Perhaps during the week?

My biggest fear is that he’ll choose a different server just so he can get the ball rolling and play with us as a guest on Blackgate while waiting for a chance to transfer over for free, and then the transfers are announced as no longer free and he’s stuck on that server, always playing with us as a guest unless he pays a fee in gems.

Also, is server capacity being increased to addressed this problem?

Thanks in advance!
