Guild Wars 2

My personal story appears to be stuck at the prologue.

I started “Prologue: Rally to Maguuma”, then rebooted for the patch, then left the instance to go to Lion’s Arch or something.
Now my story log still says “gather at the rally point leading into the maguuma jungle”, but I can’t do that from regular silverwastes. And I can’t get back to the instance the way I first accessed it, the green star/arrow have disappeared from my hud and from the map.
I appear to be stuck and unable to get into HoT maps.

The achievement category in the Living World is completely optional. You aren’t being forced to do anything you don’t want. If you like to play WvW, just play it. Then, when you reach the Meta, then it’ll be a nice surprise.

I’d still like to get rewarded for contributing to the WvW season, since I do.
But here’s the thing: all I like doing in WvW is flipping camps and killing dolyaks all season long. Nothing wrong with that, right? That contributes to our victory like any other activity in WvW, but if I only do that, then I don’t get my reward at the end of the season. And I want to get my reward, because I feel like I deserve it for the work I do in WvW.
So here I am, farming achievements and doing WvW activities I don’t have fun doing.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I think the WvW season achievements are a flawed concept. More specifically, the way they force you to do every single activity possible in WvW to get the seasonal key.
There are things I enjoying doing in WvW and there are things I don’t enjoy doing, but now I’m forced to do them all if I want the achievement key. Basically I’m no longer playing WvW to have fun, I’m playing WvW just to farm achievements, even to the point of being unfair to other players just so I can complete my achievements (for example, making sure I get on the ram so I can complete the respective achievement).
I don’t think this system is good. I think a system where I can choose my path to the final seasonal achievement reward would be much better. So I can play WvW to do what I have fun doing, instead of farming activities I don’t like.

Also, pistol main hand may see one of its skills reworked to better support allies. We have multiple prototypes that we’re trying out, so we’ll have to see which we settle on by the next release.

Let me guess which skill is that you’re reworking :P

Having the same problem. I’m an EU account playing on NA.

I tried watching the matches, and it was a terrible viewing experience. It was just a bunch of nameplates moving around, no idea what was going on, not engaging at all.

My opinion is that the only way to make this entertaining and fun to spectate is to keep the camera at the players’ PoV, and keep it really close to the players so you see all the cool attack animation and you can actually tell what’s going on in a fight.

And for the love of god, disable that freaking bloom when you spectate on the Guild map.

Anything still up on NA?

2 things:

-split WvW and PvE culling settings. For wvw i might want to have maximum possible FPS, thus sacrificing graphics. In PvE i might prefer to see more fancy and shiny stuff.

seconded.

Please stop whining. Everyone knew nerfs were coming, especially to a content so destructive as Deadeye farming. Opening all the bags and stopping buying tickets were the very basics things to be safe against these.

Absolutely. That’s the reason I made sure to open every single box as I kept getting them, even as sprockets piled up. It wouldn’t be the first time that a patch modifies an item.
People that didn’t open the boxes or that bought piles of tickets when they knew a patch was around the corner lacked forethought.
