Guild Wars 2

Gaile Gray.6029:

I think I should point something out: The game is not down. We’re not having a game outage here. It’s true that some players are not able to join, but the game is still accessible — I’m in it now. It is, for some players, not available, that’s true. And we regret that very much.

Anyway, while I appreciate people pointing out we’ve had very little down time in our history, and that’s very true, this isn’t down time, in the true definition of the word. Just had to say.

Arguing semantics in a thread full of already upset customers is unlikely to win the company much sympathy, in my opinion. This only makes it seem like these customers and their concerns are insignificant to the company.

And pointing out that you’re personally able to play the game in a thread where no one else is able to play is unlikely to win you much personal sympathy, either. Maybe it’s just a paper cut, but why rub salt and lemon juice in it?

When I’m playing the game actually in the world, I can limit the number of frames rendered to reduce load on my CPU and GPU.

However, at the character select screen, the renderer does not respect this limit. This is illustrated in the attached image.

I have several alts, and can never quite remember which crafting skills they have. It would be handy to see these at a glance on the character select screen.

Perhaps it could be shown as a row of icons below the current world. When the mouse is moved over an icon, a tooltip could show the name of the crafting skill and the current skill level.
