Guild Wars 2

Same error 1083:5:7:1595:101, also cannot get past character select. Was booted while playing Buried Insight story instance.

UPDATE: Able to get past character select using the -assestsserv work-around described here: https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/93290408-Problems-Downloading-or-Patching

I paid $100 for access to classes (elite specs) which are locked behind a map-grind.

PvP players get immediate access to their elite specs, but still have a separate Maguuma mastery track. Should be the same for all players. My $100 is as good as theirs.

I might actually enjoy the mastery system if I could approach it casually, instead of having my class mechanics locked behind it.

WvW hero points rewards are far too little to make up the difference.

Right now, I’m holding off on buying HoT for my wife and kid. They simply WILL NOT grind to unlock their elite specs. To hang-glide, yeah sure, but to play their class? No way.

Confirmed this is happening (again) on my Mac. The old thread listing various fixes has been removed. I was able to temporarily “fix” by cmd-tabbing out of GW2 and then back into it. Appears the old wine bug has reared its ugly head again.

“BanG! BanG! Say da, da, da. Tell me yes.”

+1 in general.

I want it all: sanctioned GvG arena/mode, and Sabull’s WvW vision.

One particularly useful tool for managing groups of 10-20 players would be the ability to make a tag/squad private, such that only those in the squad can actually see the tag (on the map or in the fray).

For Condi Necros, Runes of Speed provide the same movement and swiftness boosts as Traveler’s, but without “wasting” points on crit damage. And they’re much cheaper too.

Keep in mind Signet of Locust can be quickly swapped in-and-out for its passive speed boost w/o triggering a cool down. Using it over SW effectively gives you an extra utility skill.

Healing in DS: b/c that’s not “power overwhelming” or anything. :P

SRSLY though, as one poster already mentioned: No heals of any kind work in DS, by design. On-crit life-siphon food and on-kill sigils used to heal us in DS, that was patched.

Sigil of Vampirism has some promise. It will need a lot of play-testing. In the end Consume Conditions will continue to be the only viable heal in WvW. Everything is going to be OK.
