Guild Wars 2

SOLUTION:

Someon mentioned on reddit, that for the pile of phantasmal residue you have to speak to Rox after the last instance “Attack Plan”, when you’ve got the Storyrewards.

Doing so will unlock a chat-option, in which she offers you something she has found, which turns out to be a pile of phantasmal residue.

Worked so far on all my toons and i did recive all the storyrelated materials.

Aye, did post a similar thread on the german forums about that exactly same thing.

Haven’t looked before here. (hope that dosen’t count as double posting)

But i did encounter the same “bug” (intended ?) on my twink just right now.
Have only not gotten the phantasmal residue, but everything else.

Another thing to throw at you devs.

Please start a BETA-SERVER for testing such things out, so u can get REAL feedback, not just assumptions made from people, juggling mindgames of what or not might work for them.

Set up a seperate Server, with the usual overflowsystem, and let people aply feedback similar like in beta.

This would also prevent those bugs, always being shipped with the patches, and would avoid things like the latest mouse-keybinding-bug going live.

With that, real balancing could happen, as people could see, what works or not before it ruins the gamingexperience and the game looses playerbase.

On regard to the engineer vigor “nerf”.
Boost up the now very onedimensional Elixir R.
For example, you could have give it a buff to the engineer, like the one of Kit Refinement, which triggers when endurance hits 50% and buffs Vigor for 5s, or Elixir R gives Vigor on use.
Anyway, this Elixir needs an overhaul, especially the cd, which is way overboard for its effect.

The mobility of the engineer is also my concern, as many things the class can do is targeted via circles, even attacking with the most dpskit, the grenades, which limits the capability in reacting to the situaion a lot, as moving the mouse for the camera or more engaging fights is nearly only possible, when one is in rifle/gun-mode, which doesn’t bring the damage needed to survive.
The loosing of vigor will hurt that aspect even more so.
Giving the greadekit number 1 an autoattack like underwater would give alot off free room to movement.

Having not the burst, nor the sustained damage, loosing (more) mobility will hurt even more.
Needing some good alternatives to bump up damage AND suvivabilty is important.

Additionally:
The most thing that bugs me, is that classes like Ele, Mesmer, Ranger and Engi have lost their distinct features, besides the pet, Flaming Greatsword, TimeWarp or, err Healingturret ?

I know exactly, why i want to bring a Warri, a Guard, a Mesmer (soleily for TW), Ele(depends on context and then only for Frostbow/FGS) or maybe (as a substitute for Warri or to skip via stealth) a Thief.
What would i want an Engi for( or a Ranger, or a Necro) ? Damagewise those classes are only interesting in a zerker-burst-wise played fashion, to bring raw dps.
There is no distinction, like maybe, bringin a Engi, to buff up dmg and conditions for others, to bring a Necro for huge condiremovel/-control, having a Ranger to bring cc in form of offtankpets/kiteabilty or whatever.

Why not a turret, which emits chronomagicalparticles, to give a TW-fashioned partybuff, why not giving steamcreature-pets, wiht different uses, like ranged-dps, tank, suiciedbomber and teambuff, where is my boons-for-everyone-button, which i can provide with more versatility by runing my gear to get even more profit out of it ?

I want. Pls gim’me.

Also, this game is awesome and so good in many ways.
Pls don’t ruin it or let i go to waste.
