The terrible UI scaling options are a disgrace for a game released in 2012. Full HD (Ultra HD is only a few years younger) was already available for 10+ years back then.
4k is getting old already, 5k and 8k monitors are starting to get released already.
I have a 1440P on a 1080tiand i prefer that no one can tell the difference and its an older optomized game so it actually makes gw look fuzzy as hell. People over paying for stuff anymore. No different than something that came out 3 years ago
That depends on many factors like your eye sight, how far you are sitting away from the screen and the pixel density of the screen.
Someone also suggested using super sampling / downsampling, but it is not the same as a native resolution.
Currently there are a lot of people hopping maps to snack the outmanned buff for the +5 bonus pips. While this is already bad enough it is even worse for the people who are playing on the map the whole time, since it only gives the +5 bonus pips if the outmanned buff is active in the last second where the pips get added to your account. So people can fight 5 min while outmanned and end up not getting the bonus due to map jumpers.
Another flaw is the commander bonus pip. It is counting people who are not even inside of WvW. So people can make 4 f2p accounts and multi login them (and leave them in lion arch for example) to get that bonus pip… It should only count people who are on your server and on a WvW map, otherwise it is just asking for cheating it.
I have been working several years as a Game Designer myself. If you are in the industry for a few years you can see the intention of things without them being explained to you.
oh so its intentional that players are repulsed by the amount of effort, as opposed to motivated or reinvigorated to pursue the carrot?
There are a lot of rewards to choose from, if you aim for the highest tier of reward from the get go you have noone to blame but yourself.
And “play as I want” is sadly an illusion, these games are doctored to give an illusion of choice, but there is no real choice.

You are not supposed to work towards the skin, you are supposed to play WvW regulary and enjoy the reward when it is time for it. Maybe Anet should hide the vendor tabs completly until you qualify for buying from them to prevent people grinding just for the reward.
Is there anyway to lower the rank requirement for t3 armor from 2000 to say 500? Maybe 700 or even 1000? 2000 ranks requires you to play around 3-5 hrs a day in wvw mostly doing player vs door for a year. Any way you guys could reconsider, as I’ve lost motivation and feel it’s an egregious amount especially since I like zerg vs zerg and roaming and not pvd.
I’ve played a good amount of wvw since launch and am rank 364 with about 360 hrs in wvw. Feels unobtainable.
No, if you’re only rank 364 you havent done that much. Its a reward for dedicated players and so it should remain
really playing a game for 300+ hours for one type of game mode isnt that much? show me another game in which you cannot absolutely destroy in the same amount of play time?
This is a MMO, MMOs are supposed to last years, especially if you are completionist and want everything
Getting all rewards seems to take ~110 weeks anyway. If you get the diamond chest every week for 110 weeks you will be 4000+ easily (as long as you dont cheese the pips with some afk farm strategy).
There seem to be a few oversights with the wardrobe unlocker such as 30k AP armor and ancestral outfit and glints gaze twice in the unlocker.
Especially the 30k AP armor part (Hellfire body armor) is most likely not supposed to be t here considering some people spend 5k-10k hours on getting that much AP.
