I like the fact, that we now get our own legendary backpack and new rewards. The update seems good so far.

The only problematic idea is this point:
“Whether you’re commanding a squad with at least five people in it.”

Anet, you know how people behave: Hey there is something to abuse! Let’s do that even if it annoys the others!

There is no need for tons of commandertags as it is not hard to find 5 people… That’ll be annoying as f*** for the actual commanders…

past PVE rewards plx?

Seconded: you have no idea how much I want access to the Selfless Potion again.

There was an event right before the HoT release where you could get hands on that potions again. An event that had nothing to do with the previous event they were designed for and related to.

If you make such stuff obtainable again it removes the feeling of having something special that rewarded you for taking part in an unique event. Where is the point of event related stuff, if you can get it even without those events it was designed for? For many people such items are special keepsakes. Especially because they aren’t obtainable anymore and related to a part of the story of tyria they experienced months or years ago and will never come back again. Most people that complain about such items not being rereleased weren’t even part of the fight against the Toxic Alliance, the fight for Lions Arch, etc.. Why would you give such items to anyone who doesn’t have even a small bit of memories about how they earned them during these times? They would become just pointless stuff.

I don’t get why ppl. would revive such a thread (died 2 years ago). It was meaningless when it was started, because RNG is how it is and nowadays you can even craft your pre, if you don’t want to buy it from the trading post.

I could post my over 7700h with “only” a sudden “[Dawn]” out of the MF and it would be still meaningless. I droped every rare weapon into the mystic toilet since I was lvl 80 with my first char. Does it tell that my RNG is bad? No. It just tells that RNG is RNG. Nothing more, but also nothing less.

Don’t forget: If the drop chance would become better somehow, then the price level would drop too and everyone who would get a drop after that would cry: “Now that I finally got my pre drop, it isn’t that much worth anymore!”

The drop chances are fine as they are now. The price development of pres is stable and that is all that is really necessary for the game and the economy of the game.

Don’t just watch at the small picture of your personal pockets when complaining about drop distribution and chances. There is an entire ingame economy behind that which affects all of us and that needs to stay as stable as possible. Sometimes “balance” isn’t just about individual people. Far more often than not it is about the whole picture where everyone is a part of.

So after Abaddon now Drakkar Lake is the next server that is actually weak when speaking of active WvW population that gets slapped in the face by the linking thingy.

GJ anet… and just mentioning: Desolation is the least server that needs to be linked to anything…

I just doubt that anet will ever respond to this thread. As well as they’ll never again buff our damage (the point of playing a high risk class)…

i actually never miss my steal and i don’t see where this would be a buff. even if you miss, you usually get at least a speedbuff and/or stealth. (depends on your traits)

as a wvw and pve player i see it as a nerf. huge maps – no speedbuff… chasing someone – no speedbuff…

tbh, this patch made just made me put away the wvw gear of my thief into the deepest parts of my bank, because roaming became entirely annyoing with this class. maybe it is even time to move to my warrior/zerker as a main…

Too bad they didn’t think that it might be because it’s the chests that are a problem.

That’s only because players collectively ignore the fact that the “junk” in chests is actually what chests were designed to deliver.

If they were designed to deliver that “junk”, why are the tickets in there as the only way to obtain them, too?

Hi guys!

Could you just post your builds in a build constructor? (Because of patched runes, traits etc.)

I’m really curious about the D/P 6-0-2-0-6 builds in WvW and PvP.

I mean I’m also a returner and i would like to try some new things after i came back. My only build, that ever used the entire Trickery line was a condi thief, but I would really like to give it a try in a power based build.

Greetings!
