I’ve tested it a bit – mind you, i’m not God’s gift to elementalists – but a few minutes before the patch, i scored 40k on a big target 1kk hp; no food, no infusions, everything else on. Now I’m doing 35k. Ouch.

I didn’t like it. The map is barren and boring. The hearts, again, boring and poorly explained. The first part of the quest was good; Confessor’s End was godawful. The Jade Bow is already ridiculous, now you put one in a chamber where the camera doesn’t work, with a boss shooting kitten everywhere (these bullet hell fights are getting old) and with a window so short for using special action, that a high ping rate is enough to get yourself manhandled by the him.

Legendary effects on kits?

I’m sure it has been asked, begged before. Why can’t we keep them? We spend most of our times using kits, seens unfair that we don’t get to showboat (fashion wars and all) these very expensive stuff.

Canceled Skills (without reason)?

That makes a lot of sense. I’ll try it out. I was positive it happened from afar in some cases, could be the high ping giving a poor perspective.

Glad i’m not the only one. What bugs me is that it didn’t happen before. It’s something more recent; from a couple of months, I think.

Hi,

I’ve been noticing something weird lately. I’ll try to explain: when switching kits or going to downed state in combat I find myself often cancelling the first skill I cast if pressed too quickly (without reason). For example: I get downed in fractals > quickly use grappling line on the ghost > it doesn’t cast and i’m stuck with a short cooldown again. I’ve lately returned to pvp and have noticed it happening a lot and in other circumstances. I posted this here because, as far as I can tell, it has been happening only with my engineer. Is it a bug, lag, a dumb feature of some sort? Advices?

Looks like we get this one broken instance since no one plays the map and another one is never required. Now wait for Anet to fix it.

Anytime now…

So here’s my predicament: I need a meager 100 tokens to get my legendary but “nooo!” says the game. Event chain to open that crap is broken and no one can get in. I hail from JQ, NA server.

Can someone fix this for christ’s sake?

Man, kitten life. What is this? No love for the pistol at all.

Make ricochet baseline and all will be forgiven.

AoE and Out of Range

The change only benefits movement skills. It doesn’t make sense to apply it to other skills.

As I said, some skills not all. I thougth of grenades specifically since they are projectiles, and would be useful not as a mean for hitting anything but for harassing crowds and keeping the distance in wvw.

That does not sound like a very good idea. Instead of giving an “Out of Range” message you throw your grenades 10 feet in front of where you wanted it to go and then completely miss your target. Either don’t use instant cast or learn to judge distance better.

Say you target L. Flash on the screen 1000 units away, instead of canceling the spell you just move 900 units on the direction towards your target, working like a blink spell. That just it. I can’t comment over the objection; it’s incomprehensible – perhaps you could make it more clear (or you’re just eager to say L2P).

I know of this exploit but it is really more simple than that. Just some tweak that would allow you to do it even if immobile.

Perhaps I was not clear, I’ve meant as a suggestion for gameplay improvement.

I was wondering if it was possible to have some AoE skills like L. Flash and the Grenade Kit work even if out range. Meaning, that you teleport or throw the bombs as farther as it is possible in the direction desired rather than canceling it. I think it would improve gameplay quite a bit and wouldn’t be overpowered.

That said, is it a reasonable idea? The developers even read the suggestions?

Well, nevermind.

I have reopened the “play” screen several times now; finally it started showing life signs.

Hello,

So far I’ve downloaded about 3gb of data to no avail. The bar is firmely stuck at 0%. So that warrants the question, how large is the update download anyway?, and, being stuck at 0%, does it means it’s deffective?
