Guild Wars 2

I was indeed looking for this. I completely agree that the constant new items are absurd. And, in A-net’s defence, the fact is those items are not currency. If that’s the case, well then, make a keychain/pouch kind of thingy for those loot related items, similarly to the wallet.

I’ve been bugged by this since the release of HoT. The downed skill shadow escape is supposed to be escaping. During my playtime in PvP, more and more I experience that whenever I use shadow escape, my opponent just travels with me. Anyone else experiencing this?

Let me start by saying how happy I am that Anet is not an aircraft company, as I have the feeling that with every update since the expansion, the number of crashes increases. I started the new maps and to my surprise the game crashed ever so often. No announcements like lag or anything, just a drop out of the client. At first I thought it was due to the start and that in the beginning there will always be bugs. That however doesn’t seem relevant anymore, since its been two weeks.
What’s more, I can pinpoint the moments when it crashes, for example: on new maps usualy before the map rewards or in the guildhal, whenever I access the bank. The funny thing is that the vanilla maps don’t have any of the crashes. All in all, this makes me regret that I aquired the HoT expansion and I feel unhappy playing the game at all, since my guildies CAN play the expansion.
It is not due to my pc’s specs, I’ve checked and there’s games heavier than guild wars that I can play as smooth as possible. My crappy laptop can stay in the game longer, but that would be lag-ridden, but that proves that it’s not my internet-connection either. This only leaves the cause to be outside of my power and somewhere in the programming, unless I’m missing something.
Does someone have any suggstions for sollutions? Or is my best option just to wait for the fix and hope that no one spoilers the game?

Ever since the update of 29-09-15 I can’t seem to get into PvP as well as before. That being an understatement, so far I’ve lost every game with reward for player with most damage received, while before the update I could play reasonably with most of the time ranking in the top half of my team. Compared to before, I haven’t changed my play style and, while in PvE it doesn’t seem to make a difference, the performance on PvP is greatly affected.
I can’t quite put my finger on it; maybe I just need to adjust, yet I have the feeling that the update put the thief at an even greater disadvantage (than it already had) compared to the other professions. Mainly I noticed the conditions flaring up more than usual, unable to count the stacks because of being downed in no-time, which can be due to extra stacks per second given to other professions. There’s probably more reasons to it. I would like to hear some opinions of other players about this.
