go figure there’s another thread I didn’t see. Thanks for the link, although it seems they’re no closer to an answer than I am.

I hopped into character creator earlier today and noticed my norn was a little.. high on the screen. You can see his head if you shrink him to minimum height, but once you zoom in the screen cuts off the top again. This problem persisted even after relogging.
After checking all the races, the only one unaffected by this seems to be charr. Asura are affected as well, but they appear very low on the screen when zoomed in instead.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, didn’t know where to put it and didn’t see any similar topics.

I understand what you mean and agree, Phage.

I love bell choir and the JP. I’m good at them, even. I owe a big part of my success to both activities is a new computer and a solid internet connection. Thanks to both of those I had a few perfect runs during halloween this year. Last year I couldn’t complete the JP a single time because my connection wouldn’t let me time that final jump no matter how many times I got to the top. For anyone having connections even worse than mine, I can’t imagine how absolutely miserable that must be.

The dailies system worked well before they revamped it. While I do like some changes, the “broader” options of activities you can do seems more shallow. The other day there was a daily for doing events in Malchor’s leap. What about people whose characters aren’t high level enough? What if they don’t like pvp or WvW?

On the topic of limited dailies, what happens when you get people who don’t like an activity forced into it for the sake of dailies? You get people who don’t know what they’re doing, don’t want to know what they’re doing, and generally care less about what they’re doing than the people who genuinely love that activity. People who hop into WvW for the sake of achievements or dailies may take up valuable space in a popular server where every active member counts. They may grumble and complain, and that can bring down everyone’s morale. I’d really hate to be excitedly learning how to try a new activity, only for people to angrily grumble about it in chat, or to have veterans lash out against newcomers because of it.
It’s simple to say “They shouldn’t go there in the first place then” but it doesn’t actually solve any problems.

The massive overpopulation for world events or zone-specific events (and region-specific harvesting? WHY) is ridiculous. Expanding both dailies to be “complete a world event” or “complete 5 events” would be so much easier, and would allow people to do what they like where they like. If you have to force people to go to a zone, maybe you need to sit back and evaluate why people don’t go there in the first place.
