Guild Wars 2

PowerCat.5738:

I noticed you have 3 “blue” buffs on, the “wrench”, the “apple” but there’s another, the 3 X’s, what buff is that?

He’s running Armor, Rejuvenation (the one you asked about) and Strength gem shop boosters.

On Topic, Cool vid.

It’s the same as selling drops in Aion or selling run throughs in GW1. Don’t hate on people making money. just because YOU don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I for one totally support it!

You’re not the only one that it annoys.

LFG = Looking FOR a GROUP>
LFM/GLFM = Group looking for MORE.

Hopefully that clears it up for the numbskulls.

I have this same issue. I also can’t hear our own character say anything when it buffs itself.

hungryhippos.4980:

So I’m in T3 IoJ and I’m only seeing enough players from each server to hold their own map, eternal battlegrounds and sometimes there will be enough players to take a tower and some supply camps from someone elses borderlands.

I am unsure what its like in other WvW battles but it seems a bit silly when a server barely has enough population to hold their own borderlands and eternal.

I suggest a change in map population or the inevitable server consolidation which will fill up PvE and WvW again. If T3 is like this I can’t imagine what its like in the bottom rungs of WvW in terms of numbers.

Seems a bit silly that you are making this observation during the biggest holiday time of the year outside of asia….

after the first 2 hits 1 person has to keep them in combat so they dont heal, i do it on my ranger because of the pet

“…The chanters at the previous seal were repairing it too quickly due to their numbers.”

“Keeping them in combat” and standing there getting facecaved are two different things… Reading, hard, i know.

Just roll a bank alt, stick 15 slot bags on it and put all your extra relics in its inventory. There, now you have open bank slots.

Why do the current Fractal Rings not include the very popular Knight’s Set Stats? They are Power, Precision, and Toughness. Other sets are missing as well! It’s important to note that people established builds based on the exotic stat set, and to not include them in the Fractal Rewards is just a strange idea.

Are there plans to release new rings that could include this stat set? I seriously have nothing to buy, unless I completely change my gear.

The only close* equivalent is pwr/tough/crit dmg and using only 3 pieces of it, you don’t have to become a drama queen about it and rework YOUR ENTIRE build for 3 pieces. As for healing power builds, Anet learned their lesson and removed garbage stats since healing power scales SO BAD you would need at least 1000 healing power to make it viable. [barely] (ie: There’s a reason why almost all armor/accessories have power on them, it is not viable to run a full “healing” or “tank” build being next to useless, YOU MUST DO DAMAGE!)

Odds are you play a thief or ranger, maybe a warrior. So of course you would know nothing about healing power and what it actually does.

Since there’s no way to parse damage/healing here’s comment based on EXPERIENCE.

With a “Tank” guardian and a 1400+ healing power Ele using a staff, on 99% of of fights both in Fractals and old dungeons, you can fall asleep and your party won’t die.

SO, take your “I’m right and you’re wrong” lack of experience elsewhere.

Dear Anet:
The player base would like some type of Mystic Forge recipe to be used with these otherwise useless items.

Sincerely:
Crafters

This is how you do the arm seals, kill 1 mob, hit seal, run to other side, kill 1 mob, run to other side. after the first 2 hits 1 person has to keep them in combat so they dont heal, i do it on my ranger because of the pet. Do that, win, profit.

There’s no healing power set at all.

Kaede.9314:

I was running SE and AC for my necromancer weapons, and I thought I got 30 tokens on my necromancer after I had ran the same path on my warrior. Anyone else getting this?

it’s been that way since they added fractals.

Disclaimer; No Im not mad that they have no stats, or that im forced to gem shop a transmute stone for them. I also already have 30 AR.

What I AM however peeved about, is the fact that this, otherwise useless, thing is taking up a RNG slot in my 20+ daily. Why is this “skin” wasting an RNG slot on my daily! Put the things in boss chests, not the daily.

Just because we can MAKE infused rings, doesn’t mean we should be forced to farm vials/globs/shards to do it when the 20+ dailies are supossed to give them (RNG’d OFC cause just 100% drop so you can progress is OP… rolls eyes)

Oh yea, “It looks cool” is not a valid claim since “looks cool” is subjective.

If you think that boss is hard at 11…. you might want to just stop doing that dungeon now….

they are bound because you can only buy them with dungeon tokens, which makes sense. They should however be account bound and not soul bound.

JackBurton.1803:

But why would you search for something like this?

You can’t expect people to read the wiki all day for things they might acquire or purchase. I understand the logic behind “unique” but what does it hurt explaining it in the description of the item?

Anet seems to have a habit of erroring on the non-informative side of descriptions.

I would agree with the OP that he got kitten over by Anet on this one.

Just because it’s on the wiki doesn’t mean Anet shouldn’t explain better in-game.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen people waste time/money due the the lack of description or details from an item.

Just my 2 cents.

WHOA! No, Just no. You are NOT going to play Anet for your inability to comprehend a word. It’s there, “Unique”. If you don’t know what a word means, dictionary.com and look it up for the definition. You can’t blame a company for your inability to read….. We expect people in the year 2012(3) to be able to read, that is what is expected.

Sounds like a “fanfest” to me, i’d love for that to happen, then I could find the tool who decided “Lets cover the ground in red circle’s on every boss fight cause thats fun!” and punch him in the face for being a tool

It’s a good idea, best to give it a couple years before you plan that out tho.

None, Its like moving into your first apartment and seeing the shower looks all fancy/ new and shinning, then it not working for 3 months, then yes going back home the place you know that the old reliable shower works :P

Really? how quickly people forget the troubles that WOW had when it was released. It has only been three months. kitten people are impatient these days.

This game was in development for FIVE YEARS, ofc we are all mad that stuff doesn’t work right…. FIVE YEARS!

So wow was announced in 2001 and not released until 2004. At the time of release you often had to wait hours to log in to your account and server, random error messages and drop outs. They also released numerous patches over the coming months to address balance issues. It took a long time to get the game right.

I use WoW because it is a yard stick.

Just have a little patience GW2 hasn’t been out very long, its free to play and instead of a launch and forget they are addressing the issues periodically.

Also a bit of perspective. How many MMO’s are perfect upon release? give them a break with this kitten already.

You cant compare a game that is as crappy today as it was in 2004 to this. The ONLY reason that game EVER became popular was due to the heavy marketing. Had it not been for that, it wouldn’t have had a player base much higher then say Evercrack or FF. In 2004, of what I can remember we basically had, Internet space ships (Which is STILL an awesome game because the dev’s actually PLAY it) and Korean grindfest’s. So please, enough with “WoW”, it’s like the fricking minecraft of MMO’s…

Pet AI, will never work right…. ever. Lineage 2 is the ONLY game I’ve see where pets work and that’s only because they are 100% player controlled, outside of pathing.

Like the guy above me said, it’s 2012(3), not 2004. The ranger class’s dps shouldn’t be hampered by a completely worthless pet, at least in Guild wars 1 we had the OPTION of using pets, instead of being FORCED to, same goes with all the other games out there that use rangers and pets…

They spent 5 year’s working on this game, of course the player base has ever right to expect things like, dynamic events bugging out or culling in WvW (To name a few) to have been worked out prior to launch. At this point in the age of the game it feels like they just whiteboard idea’s and then roll their faces over the keyboard while coding it and hope for the best.

Don’t get me wrong, they are working to make the game better… but a lot of what they are doing should have never made it to launch in the first place…

I miss the immersion of the story lines from gw1. (Except factions, that one was as lame as this so called “personal story” which isn’t very “personal”. )

I miss the ability to farm whatever, whenever I wanted. Ele/Mes rune farm 4tw! Duo UW Ecto farm 4tw! (Well, before they nerfed drops to be based on how many REAL players you had in party with you)

I miss all the max level zone’s you could play in. Cause ring of fire and the Shiver peaks were AMAZING! (Unlike Orr…. which is beyond lame)

I miss playing a game that felt “Complete” instead of “Thrown together at the drop of a hat” (Well factions was pretty much “thrown together” as admited by Anet.)

I miss the seemingly endless amount of skills I had at my disposal, Even tho we could only use 8 at a time when we walked out of town. And the fun of “Capturing” elite skills from bosses.

I miss the “Radar” mini map that showed enemies and aggro range.

I miss chasing titles, farming Underworld and Fissure of Woe for elite expensive gear just so I could say I have it not because it’s “best in slot”, and collecting things as my “Endgame Content”, grinding gear is only fun to Koreans…

I MISS DISTRICTS IN TOWNS! (Yes, caps for a reason…)

I do however like, dodge rolling, Fractals (The content, not the gear grind), dungeons, WvW (despite the culling… because showing all names before models is hard i guess..), Dynamic Events (Which aren’t really that “Dynamic” but still semi fun overall), The art work around the world (Amazing), the different races, and the graphics engine is pretty nice.

Zenith.7301:

If grinding lodestones with ridiculous token prices is less efficient, people will still farm the gold to do lodestones.

There’s no point in making obtaining lodestones grindy when you can instead go farm 10g a day and make investments that will get you lodestones fasters than if you did the dungeons. Explorables need to drop lodestones from their boss chests.

It’s not about what is faster/easier/more efficient, its about generating more ways to obtain them.

Even tho I’ve banked about 200g selling cores/lodestones I support the OP’s idea, including the prices. +1 for a good idea!

laharl.8435:

New adds spawn at 50% on the door freezing version? I’ve only had that version once getting to level 21 and doing numerous tier 20 dailies. I’d like to better understand what you’re saying as to deal with that one when it comes up.

Yea, when you shoot the door down to 50% more adds spawn, I guess your just lucky that didn’t happen to you, unless you like leave an add alive or something.

laharl.8435:

As for bomb/door. I find it best to have 1 or 2 dedicated bomb runners. The rest fight and take all the aggro. When you run out of bombs, everyone run to the bottom until more bombs respawn. I find this approach works well and I rarely have issues as long as people stick to the plan.

Pretty much this, and you can always farm some dredge by pulling them away from the bottom of the steps while you wait for bombs to respawn.

laharl.8435:

For the Ice Elemental, I prefer stay together and mostly ignore mobs. Staying together we only need to worry about 1 fire and the Vets AOE’s are easy to dodge. Plus if you stay together, you can quick res a downed man. Last thing you want is a dead man.

Depends on the party, if the party can survive with ease, ignore, if not, kill a couple, they go down pretty fast as long as you FF them.

Comparing bow damage? Not when you take into account pets.

You mean those useless things that we tow around with us that get 1 shot by every single boss and player in the game? Those things?

So, in other words, you’re not arguing about bows, you’re QQing about pets and hiding it as a critique on flanking.

You brought pets into the conversation, i personally don’t have a problem with bows.

Fallen Kell.3182:

There already is a way to get mist essences, and that is downgrade a higher tier. Forge recipe for that is already in the forums.

But that doesn’t combat the very bad drop rate on the essences. The Op’s idea however, does.

+1 for a good idea OP.

Show enemy names at all times
Show allies on mini map

Win? No one looks at character models during a mass pvp fest.. Tbh I didn’t even know the enemy showed a different color until I read it on the forums….

Lighthammer.3280:

Quit with the BS already, this is an MMO, people want to play. Just because you said you don’t like “grinding”, doesn’t mean that you should remove farming from the game completely. You are losing players with this on daily basis because no one wants a kitten daily fest!

I don’t know about the “losing people daily” part, but yea, you’re player base shouldn’t be punished for wanting to do repetitive game play. Wither it be dungeon farming or mob farming. the DR on doing ANYTHING more then once is out of control. Personally when Guildwars 1 had the farming nerf implemented that was the day I quit play it. Can we stop with the “pay to play” game model we have now since we don’t actually Pay to play this game?!

“Drops based on fractal level”, not really sure wth that was supposed to do, but from my screen it just looks like I get LESS loot now then I did before. You need to boost the drop rate on Vials/Globs/Shards. At the VERY LEAST they should have been added to the vendor for REASONABLE prices, reasonable meaning LESS then hundreds of relics for shards.

Also as it is now you are basically punishing anyone that isn’t fractal level 20+ with the price of the NON INFUSED rings. Are you guys scared we are going to NPC sell them for a whopping FOUR silver or something? Non infused rings should cost a MAX of 2 of the new relics, 10 for infused rings. (I’m STILL of the opinion that you should have been able to just pick 1 ring from every daily, and it should have been, Rings for level 10, earrings for level 20, and a necklace for level 30, and they should ALL be infused since that’s the entire point of having them in the game at all! I guess I have more forethought tho…) Also, give us the ability to trade rings we DON’T want for rings we DO want!

It’s not all bad tho, I’m glad to see cliffside taken out of such heavy rotation! It was beginning to feel like “Fractal of the Cliffside” for awhile there! Personally I would like to see an extra 15-30 seconds added to the timer of the swamp. As a guildwars 1 player the charr fractal annoys me, besides the lore aspect the charr model’s just run weird, if I wanted to play a charr, I would have rolled a charr. Overall tho I’m pretty happy with fractals, well not so much with the unavoidable jade maw agony and that somehow “more mod hp/dmg = harder” aspects, but overall they aren’t bad.

PS Edit: Make fractal level’s and story modes account bound. Since dailies are account bound now that you’ve introduced Fractals to the game, there’s no reason they should be character bound. (Why dailies are account bound is beyond me, god knows we aren’t going to get rich on those 4 silver ascended rings that don’t drop, even tho I have 5 crappy ones)

Reux Valdir.7986:

its mainly for cosmetics… not stats

as is pretty much everything else. considering stats just help you out. they dont determine success

It has the same icon as all the other crafted exotics so odds are its the same skin..

@ OP, think outside of the box, this isn’t a trinity game, I can think of 3 classes off the top of my head that the armor would be useful for….

All the devs have to do is un-nerf the events everyone farmed on Orr and the population will go back out there. That’s the reason no one is out there, there’s nothing to do.

Can you have the WvW team code in a players camera zoom to be farther out when a player uses a siege item, that would be amazing.

Thereon.3495:

Im looking forward to the Wintersday event despite the fact im not sure i’ll be around for most of it. I have just one issue with this event and those of the past however:

Telling us what is going to happen in the event makes a mockery of the event itself.

I understand the need to tell people roughly what is going to happen to encourage people to come on but actually telling people the exact activity that will be available? This breaks the realism which is something I thought GW2 strives to accomplish. Why is it necessary to say what the Toypocalypse is going to be about for instance? How does whoever it is know what is going to happen in the future?

Please stop telling us exactly what is coming up- the Karka event was good but it couldve been special had I not have known that a huge karka would invade Lions Arch. Just say that an unknown sea creature (or whatever) has been seen in the waters off xyz and looks to be heading towards Lions Arch. Current estimates suggest —:-- as the time it will reach. As for the Toypocalypse event just say something like ‘Tixx may require an extra few hands to help tidy up his crazy contraptions so volunteers are needed at —:--’. It adds suspense and means youre not ruining the surprise which, in my opinion, would make these events even better.

…Or you could just avoid reading the patch notes about events? It’s not like there are NPC’s standing around screaming whats going to happen in the event… Just an idea.

Oh yea! Story modes.. They need to be fixed, they are “Story” dungeons after all, not “lets work our behinds off for nothing”. And PLEASE GOD, make story mode completion ACCOUNT WIDE. I can’t think of things much worse then having to do pointless and annoying things like story modes with all of my characters. Odds are I’m not the only person who feels that way about it.

Token Vendor’s:
They need to sell more then just some gear as just about every post before mine has stated. I like the idea of the jewel recipies, I DO NOT however like the fact that they are not only RNG based, but also account bound. Come on, who thought that crap up! They require tokens, which are account bound (a good alternitive use for tokens) but now if I want to make them, I have to sacrifice a small goat and burn incenses to the NCsoft RNG God…. What?! Please, fire the guy that thought that up and hire me, I’ll work for HALF his salary and do a better job at coming up with ideas for the game! Outside of how boring the personal storyline of this game was compared to Gw1, after that patch and seeing that the vendors didn’t sell them had to be my biggest disappointment thus far in the game. Again RNG is bad…

@ Other changes:

Give us more things to use karma for. I’m starting my 3rd monthly of jugs and just about the same amount from dailies, not even counting all dungeons vials. The only thing you have to spend karma on, is 3 sets of gear (Which the skins drop in FoTM and that’s lame) and the crap you need to make a legendary (Which is cool if you want one, but not so much if you don’t). And where in the H**L are the exotic aqua breathers! You FORCE us to do lame underwater combat and we can’t even get an Exotic Aqua breather to do it!?

250 Ectos to craft… EVERYTHING ascended, 500 for Infused Ascended (why is there a difference!)? Really? IF we had a way to farm them IN ADDITION to salvaging RNG based drops, I could understand it (or at least be less annoyed about it). And why does EVERYTHING only stack up to 250?! Who came up with that number?! Increase that, by about 1,000 fold please.

Well that sums up my “what I would like to see fixed, added, changed idea/rant”

Acronos.2638:

All I want for this Xmas is a LFG finder for every dungeon in game… Like an NPC that puts you on a queue and when full it portals you in with your party.

To this LFG system, no. That is the system that everyone screams they do not want.

The bulletin board system of an LFG is WAY better, would work pretty much like the LFG site now. This is the LFG tool from Aion, and it was awesome (http://zam.zamimg.com/images/1/0/109a16c593ed9a5f5740f0f612255073.jpg)

On the topic of making dungeons better:

Diminished returns on running the same path over and over.

Why is this even in the game mechanic? If a player wants to go kill mob “x” 4550987287 times, they shouldn’t be punished for it. (If DR is in some form a way to “Stop currency inflation” then I implore you, give the guys at CCP a call, they have an ENTIRE TEAM devoted to “Market Watch”. Just youtube some fanfest vids and you’ll see what I mean, it’s amazing!) We all BOUGHT this game to play it, we don’t PAY for it monthly, why are you telling us how many times a day we can play content, your current dungeon model is setup for a Pay to Play game, not a Buy to play game. This is the main reason why you can’t find a group to run something, people are only going to run things once a day. Before FoTM a lot of people, myself included, would run the same path on multiple characters, THAT is why it was so much easier to find a group, because FoTM changed the daily rewards mechanic. Not because everyone is off doing FoTM now. Also, the Jade Maw Fractal is effect by DR, no matter what level of it you run, can we get that fixed since you guys have NO IDEA how to price things? Please?

Bosses:
Lower the HP pools, that’s pretty much the ONLY thing you would have to do to satisfy 99% of the player base. I personally do not want boss mechanics so hard that it requires 5 people who are highly skilled to get through a dungeon, that’s why I personally do not do Arah and CoE, their a “pita”. That’s why I despise raiding based games, I shouldn’t be punished because 19 other people in my raid are morons. With the dungeons now (at least the ones I run, including FoTM) you only need 3 people who aren’t kitten to complete them, which brings me to the next topic

Difficulty Scaling:
FoTM has it right with selectable difficulty scale, BUT, I would like to see them scale based on the party size. If I walk in solo I get normal mobs and a veteran at the end. Let it scale up as you take more people into the instance. Myself, that’s the reason why I LOVED guildwars one, and why I LOVED Eve-Online, I could solo everything I wanted to. I personally don’t play MMO’s to “find friends” (That’s why going outside is for) I play them to escape reality, while I’ve meet some really cool people to play games with, it’s not MY personal motivation, and I know I’m not alone in that feeling.

Loot:
Pre-Loot “Wow, we just killed that epic bosses! Good job!” Post-Loot “WHAT THE F(*(&^K!!! Greens and blues after all that work! what a waste of time….” And that pretty much sums up every dragon/dungeon chest most of us have encountered. Personally I knew that the NCsoft RNG hates my guts, hates me with a passion. I know this because in both Lineage 2 and Aion I had ZERO luck, zero. So I figured “Well its Anet! Not NCsoft, it’s going to be better!” Slap A guy can dream I guess! Anyway, Rule #1, we’re NOT Korean (mostly) It’s been universally agreed that people DO NOT want to come home from work…. just to go back to work in a video game. That DOES NOT MEAN we want loot to just rain from the sky everytime we log in, what it means is, that when we do things that require effort, no matter how small an effort, we want to be rewarded (tokens are not a reward). At the end of the day, the MMO gamer is just a real life Skritt, we all want shiney’s!

Angel.8742:

Yea, I’m not sure what happened to HoTW since the last time I ran PATH 1 with Aldus Stormbringer but seriously? The Ads just won’t stop spawning. And you can’t get in enough time to attack the boss. Even standing up top Aldus will 2 shot you with his Ice Barrage he throws in Multiple Directions so that it hits everyone. On top of that you have to deal with the Ads coming up top and you can’t kill them. Even with a good solid party like we had it was just way too much. We spent almost an hour trying to figure out a method to killing this guy and continuing on but we finally gave up because of the ads after an hour of beating our heads against the ice.

This boss never used to be like that. It was a pretty straight forward fight. And it wasn’t easy before. But now…Pffft…it’s like no boss fight I have ever come across in the entire game. Running around from the ads is fine. There isn’t a problem with that. But you can’t run around, watch the boss, deal with the ads, jump down and hope you don’t get hit with his ice barrage after taking fall dam and then run back up top avoiding ice traps and minions from the ads summoning, and I could on & on. But I think you get my point. This needs to be addressed. This path is by far not like it used to be. And people will avoid it like a plague if it doesn’t get resolved in some fashion. I know I won’t go back to it till it gets fixed or changed in a way so that it’s at least feasible to complete.

Offtopic: If you’re talking about the boss on the steps with all the adds mobs in front of him that he gives a speech to then I know what you did to cause the endless stream of mobs, you let him finish his speech. I encountered this AGES ago where a party member had to afk really quick and we decided to wait after triggering that role play section rather then start the fight. Since that was the first and only time it has ever happened to me, and I run that path every day (use to run it more then once a day with alts before anet nerfed the bonus tokens due to fractal ring daily[yes… we noticed it and we know why you did it….It’s lame, change it back]) I’m thinking its working as intended, after all its a “motivation” speech, if you’ve ever actually listened to it.

On Topic:
Why would people use this? The answer is simple really, underwater combat is beyond kitten (personally I get vertigo if I spend too much time fighting underwater, the abyss in aion was the same way for me). Add in the “trash” being more of a pain then the bosses (looking at you pack of party wiping turtling mobs in path 3!) AND the fact that the bosses have HP pools that are WAY too high… Well.. It’s not “rocket surgery” even a monkey could figure it out.

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

If something like what you wrote was possible, when you got your 2 infused version rings at lv20 daily, why the hassle to progress till 49 (after is just cheats)? We progress to have more opportunities to get the rings we want (assuming you have 30 def but wrong stats) while others, unable, still play the same daily. Too much easy suggestion,would terminate the content too soon than expected

They get harder as you progress… Therefore you do them for the challenge….. If grinding RNG gear is your thing well…. There’s 100 other MMO’s out there to do that in. I’ve played those, and after doing the same raid for the 400th time and watching the same classes gear drop for the 400th time…. get the point? I want to play a game where I don’t have to grind my face off for gear just to keep me paying a sub fee, you know… they game we were advertised?

Robert Hrouda.1327:

If it is any consolation I am on scale 22 and have accrued over1600 fractal tokens and not yet gotten a ring either. It is RNG with the Jade Maw.

We are exploring alternatives to the current system.

Give us a pop up with all the rings and let us pick one, seems pretty easy to figure out that “Alternative”, 2 days, 2 rings, boom I can continue to progress through the fractal levels. That makes FAR more sense then being stuck at w/e level because the RNG hates you.

To the “I like RNG based blah blah” people:
I like the RNG of things that DO NOT hinder my progression through content. I get the excitement of looting that chest/mob and seeing “phat lootz” too, so I understand that, What people DO NOT get excited over is “oh look… the RNG didn’t give me X item that I need to progress, lucky me”

Personally I’ve gotten 1 ring, on my first run through level 10 (which of course has completely worthless stats for…ANY of my characters" and nothing since then. I’m like “1/todepressingtokeepcount”

Narcemus.1348:

It seems like the people at ArenaNet are trying to please too many people. They don’t want to force people to grind for good items, but at the same time they are trying to please a group of people that are used to grinding. Because of this the grinders are finding that things are too easy and complaining that they don’t have anything to do after getting everything they have.

That’s on the grinder’s, if they cant find something to do then oh well, i don’t see why the rest of us have to suffer when we all knew full well what the game was going to be like, “not a grind” even tho it’s now starting to turn into one.. OR the NCsoft RNG just hates me, it’s starting to feel like Lineage2/Aion grind all over again around here.

I’d like to have my “no grind ever cause thats not the games we make” game that I paid for, ty.

it USED to be accoutn bound, but they either A) ninja changed it, or B ) broke it while trying to fix something else. can’t really tell whith these guys. But you aren’t alone in that happening

2 and a half hours spent dying to mobs that you couldn’t see because some moron decided it’s more important to render things that CAN’T kill you before things that CAN kill you just to get DC’d from a RANDOM overflow server that you cant get back on to get your rewards from a one time event chest… Awesomely designed…

WTB Selectable Districts just like we had in GW1…. at least then everyone that got DC’d would have had the ability to rejoin the district they were on…

And what all of you "suck it up buttercup’ responders failed to remember is, you need badges to make the gift of battle to make a legendary… Personally I don’t atk people unless them atk me, doesn’t matter to me if they are there for free siege prints or just the badges to make the gift.
