Guild Wars 2

Hello!

I wasn’t sure if there was a thread like this already after a quick glance, so if this needs to be merged elsewhere I understand.

Legendary Armor Suggestions:

I’m fine with the required raids for the achievements as it hasn’t been too bad to work on or get help with, but 150 insights feels like its a bit steep ( 4 months of required raiding, all 3 wing clears).

If I may be so bold, it’d be nice to have a few other options to get Insights, such as:
1)Repeatable PvP or WvW Legendary Armor Reward Track that rewards a small handful of insights.
2) Adding a small handful of insights to the end of month Legendary Monthly Reward Chest
3) 5-man versions of the raids that offer reduced core loot and reduced magnetite shards but weekly insights

I know this would create some issues as there is a lot of raiding that is requiring you to ping your insights or proof of kill, but I would hope someone wouldn’t overstate their experience with those. I’m not asking for the insights to be handed out like candy or to undermine those who have put in the hard work already into earning them, but it would be nice to have a few options for those who do or prefer other aspects of the game.

A lot of MMO’s have easier versions of the raid for training that offer reduced loot. It’d be nice to have raid training that has the bosses that could be five manned. Obviously, I’d expect the loot to be nerfed, but it’d be nice to have challenging five man content for small guilds that might perhaps reward insights at the cost of reduced magnetite shards and drop rates.

Mastery Track Suggestion:
Having a Core Tyria Map Completion Mastery Track would be amazing! Some suggestions as to what would be in this track:
1) Enhanced movement speed like in core cities (Perfect for guardians or those who prefer other traits instead of the movement speed one)
2) Enhanced renown heart completion. Some of the renown hearts are just plain painful when you’re mapping on multiple characters. Having a mastery that rewards 25-50% increased renown completion rates would definitely reduce the tedium of frequent mapping.

This is merely meant as friendly food for thought and not meant to insight anger or indignant responses from hard core raiders. I’m in a budding raid group that’s getting started, but I believe GW should have content accessible to everyone, not just the hands of a select few, awesome players. I fully believe that the full 10 man raid should offer the best possible loot and rewards, but accessibility is never a bad thing for the smaller guilds and groups that prefer to run things with friends and also want to enjoy the content.

Thanks Anet!

I wanted to mention that the update notes that patched Continuum Shift for chronomancer broke it- we no longer get the additional duration from illusions- its a flat 1.5 seconds now.

Thanks for the link. I didn’t see that.

The Historian in the Hall of Monuments is bugged (and has been apparently for some time now). I just got GW1 to help keep GW2 from going stale so I could work on achievements and I should have some skins available already but of course, the guy is broken and I can’t receive the rewards or any achievements (this is assuming your reward calculator that is in beta is working properly and giving me the right information). This really ought to be fixed and it sounds like it already should have been. Please don’t penalize players by not fixing things in a timely fashion. I am bringing this to your attention so it can get resolved while I continue to work on unlocking things in GW1 and get the full Guild Wars experience.

Thank you.

While I can not provide you the specific details as ithas not happened to me, I can say in the past few weeks when this occurs to players in EOTM, it sends you back to the spawn WP immediately. It could be that the game is processing random fall damage do to the nature of its behavior in EOTM. Its happened to my husband over in the Ascalon areas two weeks ago as well when he was leveling his charr.

Sorry I can’t provide more specifics but I wanted to provide what I’ve witnessed through fellow guild-mates and my husband.
