Once you get hit while running you get the combat speed debuff. even if you sheath your weapons you still have it until you lose aggro. You can run normal out of combat with weapons drawn and sheathed and see no speed hit until something lands a hit on you and flags you as in combat.
You are absolutely right, I forgot that I realized the speed reduction was not cause by my weapon being drawn.
Same here. Sometimes all I can hear at all are character grunts and such.
Preface
I’ve only put about 90 hours in with one character (a Charr Guardian) so take that into account. Though, these issues emerged within the first hour of play (except for the elite skill). Also, this is a work in progress, I’ll be adding to this shortly.
1. Interacting With World Objects Draws Weapon
This happens 90% of the time. This was particularly aggravating when going for map completion and doing Renown Heart quests. Picking up a rock or stomping a dirt mound shouldn’t cause my character to draw his sword.
2. FEEL MY WRATH!
“Yes! Tome of Wrath is off cooldown, now I have twenty seconds to spam ‘conflagrate’!”
Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath. Feel my wrath.
I think hearing “feel my wrath” ten times within twenty seconds is a bit much. Perhaps the character should only say it the first time the spell is cast in a sequence, the other times should be a sound effect that is subtle enough that it won’t be annoying repeated over and over but still clear enough to hear and signal the cast. If you’re a Zerg player, this might remind you of the StarCraft II beta, and I believe, very early official release. Zerg players spam their drones so a unit is made as soon as enough funds are available, the times when they aren’t available you would hear “not enough minerals” after EVERY spammed command. That got very annoying, so they fixed it.
3. Purging Flames And Other AOE Perimeter Graphics
It appears to be puzzle pieces with hearts on the inside? Kind of Alice in Wonderland-esque. It seems appropriate, say, on some mesmer skills, but on most AOE skills? For Purging Flames, how about flames? The kind that look all “purgy”.
4. FOV, Mouse Smoothing/Easing, Acceleration Options
This is my real #1 gripe, but this horse has already been mercilessly beaten to death and then some. It’s still worth listing despite its pile-of-bloody-pulpedness.
5. Draw/Stow Weapon Options Expanded
Upon starting the game, I had to immediately bind “stow/draw weapon”. An option like “auto draw weapon upon being attacked” would be nice. I hate running away from a fight and just about to survive then suddenly drawing my weapon because I’m taking damage then dying because I was walking too slow.

Ah, this gave me a sigh of relief. I know you guys are listening to what we are saying, but an official acknowledgment like this really helps my peace of mind.
thanks!
Use 304.79 BETA, I had the same texture pop-in stuff with the 306.02 drivers.
I completely agree with everything, especially the nauseatingly narrow FOV, all the smoothing, easing and acceleration.
People who don’t have a problem with these things simply don’t know any better. If the FOV was wider and the controls were crisp they would never go back to the way it is now.
Please, please, please ArenaNet! Please fix these!
I never get how such a great game that costs so much time, money, energy and talent to create can be allowed to be marred be things like these.
