Would be interesting to get more uses for that endurance bar

Excellent point, double jump = another potential use for endurance

I definitely respect that this would make the game more fun for you. It would kill it for me thought not each point equally…

….Hard PvE is for another game IMHO…

…As you can tell, I bought the game for pvp and wvw. I prefer non-MMO PvE frankly.

Fair enough, it’s just my personal wish list. I love WvW and 100% agree mounts would have no place there. As for raiding, adding it doesn’t mean you would have to participate in it… it just means they’re catering to a larger audience.

In fact, I’d like to add continued development for WvW to the wish list – which should not suffer at the cost of adding raid content. I would think these would be separate design teams anyhow so it shouldn’t.

I’d also like to add permanent new map content (even if that means cutting back on living world content), especially for the areas on the map already that we cant explore (hellooooooo Crystal Desert). And since we’re not paying a sub, the money angle for Anet is you offer the raid content AND new map content as a purchasable xpac. Yes you opted out of this for living world content instead, so I’m asking you to reconsider that choice (again as part of my personal wish list).

So as my eyes start to wander towards upcoming MMOs and what they have to offer I’ve asked myself what would make GW2 the perfect MMO to keep me luvin long time. Not that I don’t think it’s an already wonderful MMO, but we all have our wish list that we feel would make it better. I’m curious, what would be your top wish list items to make the game better?

For me (in order)…

1) Player (and Guild) Housing, I’m talking SWG quality housing… why can’t MMOs capture this feature? The HOURS of added gameplay for the OCD player (like me) and GEM STORE potential here for Anet is literally limitless…

2) End game guild level content, aka 10/20/40 man raids… though how well this would work out in a game that doesn’t have a holy trinity… hmmm

3) Yes we have WPs, but movement speed enhancements for PvE… especially for repeated world exploration for my alts, but also as eye candy. This could include, but not limited to: Mounts (duh) or a limited sprint on button push

4) Double jump…. why do so few games offer this.

The idea that I someone would rely on Sigil of Purity for its condition removal is boggling to me.

Hey, I said TRYING… that’s why I leave it up to the big brains to think up these builds. :P

I went back to 10 Inspiration for the points BlackDevil pointed out..

One last trick Im trying, which I think you mention in your guide, is switching to 10/30/30 with the Dueling IX for Pistol range and range increase. The trade off is dropping the 10 in Inspiration, which comes at the choice of giving up either battle or energy so I can take purity for condition removal…. I went with dropping energy

Also, I’m sure you use Blink A LOT to help with survival or to disorient the enemy on your location, but have you ever considered trading Chaos 3 for Chaos 5 (to gain conditions when clones are destroyed)?

I LOVE this build.. thank you BlackDevil for posting it! I’m still not entirely clear on the perma swiftness stacking thing so I’ve been using Mirror healing which, while not as great as ether, you can at least use more often (more frequent condition removal) and as a reflect if you’re dealing with ranged attacks.

On the comments about Travelers Runes… it’s just not enough. First thing I purchased at 80 was travelers and, coming from a Ele with perma swiftness, I was spoiled and missing the swiftness. The switch to Centaurs has been a very nice quality of life improvement for me… and that’s just using the mirror heal and not whatever this swiftness stacking thing is.

:)

To the comments on Travelers runes… there’s a noticable difference between Swiftness and Travelers – I say this as someone who played Ele as a main for the last 1.5 years who is tried to switch “down” to using travelers on my new Mesmer main… it’s a tough downgrade when you’re use to having 33% all the time.

I compromised by going focus off hand for the few couple of weeks until I stumbled upon this spec with the Centaurs… definitely loving it much more.

Just came through.. so 15ish min lag

I’m having this problem now… purchased $10.00 woth of gems and no gems… new payment processing system = bleh

Confirmed, issue is still happening

Same error here..

{
“error”: “parse”,
“type”: “orderMode1:error”
}

I’m not inclined to spend 100g on my alt to pin them up so my pin is on my WvW primary toon…. some people might I guess, but that seems unusual.

Although I also agree with the other thread that wvw rank should be account based like many other accomplishments.

Hi, so love the WvW ranks as it gives me some metric to see the level of WvW experience my opponent has. Is there a way to expose this metric for people on my team…

In other words, is there a way to see if the Commander I’m following is a Recruit scrub with too much gold or is actually a Diamond Legend that knows the maps etc?

Following up on my last post above, further testing reveals the “cut in half” issue disappears when I unequip my gloves. Here’s a screenshot to demo the problem.

So this is the Assassins Human cultural gear (medium armor, tier 3) from Divinity’s Reach. The “cut in half” effect occurs when I equip my Krytan glove skin that I purchased as part of the Krytan armor on the gem store. Haven’t tested with other gloves yet.

Assassins Legs + Assassins coat from Firenzia (Human cultural Armorsmith Tier 3), 45g worth of armor skins, creates a open slit across the belly of my character.. like the pants model and chest piece model dont seam together correctly.

I have the exact same issues as the OP. I had already bought the chest and just now bought the legs from the Assassins Tier 3 gear from the Human Cultural Armor vendor and now have this same slit in the belly of my characters model, especially when she leans back to stretch.

Very frustrating to see after spending a lot of time to make the 45g to get this armor skin

Same as many others here, but I actually made 3 successful gem purchases which have long since cleared my credit card (and been paid off), so I know the card is or at least was capable of being used in the gem store. Ever since those 3 gem purchases all I get is “Credit Card Card approval failed” … you guys are making it hard to give you more money.

I found 10 separate posts on this, just adding on that this guy is still missing. I’m standing on top of the skill point and can see him “singing”, but he’s not where to be seen… stuck under the world or something.
