Abrupt and underwhelming. The story was BAFFLINGLY short for a “full” expansion and I now understand why Anet tried to pad it with the poison mastery grind.
Seconded on both counts. It appears completely untested. Do not forget that the rift can, and will, spawn OUTSIDE the platform at any time as well, resulting in failure no matter how well you play.
The rift can randomly spawn outside platform at any time it appears. Also, yes, the boss retains all abilities from the phase you reached – but the player does NOT retain the help earned to counter it. Did anyone ever test this fight at all?
By not doing any updates except vanity stuff to buy in the gemstore they’ve left us with nothing to do but complete collections. When that’s not even possible to do, there’s nothing to keep at least me in the game.
I have the exact same issue with the exact same skin! Everything but Inquest hammer unlocked in collection, and that one is unlocked in wardrobe so getting another one won’t help.
Given how much effort it takes to complete those collections (I already have AC, CM and Arah finished) it’s really annoying and frustrating to hear about how many others have the same problem and how little attention it seems to get.
In this looong period of no new updates whatsoever, I thought it would be a priority to try and keep players from leaving in anger…
Yes, it must be to help clueless new players, because new players DO start out with the 75G that is needed to buy the minimum amount.:P
Please, don’t insult our intelligence even more than you already have. It’s painfully, pathetically obvious that this is another way of trying to make cash purchases of gems the only viable option. Why not remove the “convert gold to gems” entirely, since that’s very obviously what you would really like to do? Works in GW1, and would be far less condescending.
Hello! I would have put this in a thread from 3 days ago but it’s been locked already, however I have a similar issue – all of a sudden the client says my account has been suspended for 72 by reason of an unacceptable name.
This has not happened to me before and I was under the impression that first-time infractions in such a case would result in a request to change it before a ban happens.
As it stands now, I don’t even know what character was deemed offensive – however, the one I played on earlier tonight (and have had for months) has “svart” as part of the name, which is swedish for “black” and is a reference to her hair color and clothes. Possibly that could be construed as something racially inappropriate, but it was picked with no intended malice and I’d have no problem changing the name of any of my toons. I always try to be respectful when naming them, and have had no problems with any MMO during the 6 years I’ve played them.
If this is a human error or a glitch it is understandable and easily fixable, and if I truly have offended anyone I am sorry – it has never been my intention and if it was any other character than the one mentioned above it must stem from ignorance of slang terms – english is not my first language and even though I’ve studied it I’m mostly familiar with the formal way of writing it.
I have written to support about it but I’m not sure I went about it correctly, so I’m posting here as well just in case. Just hoping for a chance to change it, as I understand that’s the usual procedure.
All the best and keep up the good work! The customer service I’ve seen in various threads seems speedy, fair and courteous, and I got almost instant help when I needed my GW1 character’s name in order to log back in and link the accounts. Thanks for that!

I wholeheartedly disagree. This minigame is even WORSE than crab toss, but I suppose it appeals to anyone willing to name their offspring “Katniss”.
I was undecided, but will vote against Evon purely on account of this broken attempt at new mechanics.
Before you say “its just because you suck at it/can’t play/don’t understand how it works”, let me state that I frequently come out at top in different categories and regularly scores 50+ points per game. I hate this activity because
1: The hunger ticks. Yay, a direct reference to to the bestseller! But if you are going to make it whittle away health at that rate, you have to have more ways to keep it at bay. I searched EVERY crate at four sites in a row and found no food at all, and subsequently perished. That is not a game of skill or strategy, that’s just dumb luck.
2: The headshot mechanics. After getting the “Obstructed!” message several times while shooting in completely open fields, being killed mid-dodge even more times and even twice been shot through solid rock, I’d say the collision detection needs quite a bit of work. And when it DOES hit, it may just say “Hit!” and do the same amount of damage as a regular shot. Frustrating.
3: When it’s ten times easier to score as a ghost, you need to rethink the name “Survivor”. Or at least give ghost kills less value. (But then most would give up on the high score achievement. This could be offset by halving the required points.)
Last but certainly not least, it’s Southsun. Every time content is added there, EVERYONE abandons the place the MOMENT rewards are no longer plentiful.
Let’s see how many will still play this in a few months.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed Aspect Arena. FINALLY a fun activity you can play WITH friends, but the sheer cynicism, egotism and sadism of “Survivor” seems to be what the average gamer is looking for anyway. Evon must be proud.
