Guild Wars 2

The whole thing is void, you can’t give a 1:1 relation map to squad, since there are people from other maps also in the squad.
The majority wouldn’t work, as you’d need 26 people to make sure it stays a majority.
The map of the commander might work, but then you leave the squads without any commander helpless.
And any solution you give will probably break AB multimap squads, which may be a good thing, but given ANet past behavior around it, won’t happen.

If anything, this was a nerf to condi/hybrid guard, which was already awful.
Previously it was pigeonholed into a build, zeal virtues and radiance, to do any damage. The aoe burn was already there, and with an option to opt out of it when fighting single bosses while keeping the more frequent passive burn. Now, taking virtues means you basically waste the middle slot, since the offensive trait to take there was replaced by a support one, useless to burnguard.
So far this is all the same, but the change to smite made the number of impacts smaller, unless you take writ of persistence, which is in another line, forcing you to drop one of the previous ones. Radiance is mandatory, for the burn duration and damage. Virtues is necessary, as the passive burns is what made burnguard be considered in the first place. That leaves zeal, meaning you’re forced to trade your scepter trait, the power>condi trait, and the now more useful symbol trait, for a whole support line just to get the symbol enhancement, or just take the reduced amount of hits. Considering taking the symbol trait also makes the hits more spread, it was just an outright nerf.

The same applies to wvw infusions, a way to change stats would be welcome.

Bumping this. With the new shared slots this is even more relevant.

Definite +1 for the Accessories and Rings thing. At the very least add a “equip to 2nd slot” to the right click context menu.

That would be even easier to implement and work just as well, yeah.

• Enable the ability to use certain consumables from the bank, by right clicking then using. The menu option is there, but it does nothing.
• Alternate the default slot where accessories and rings are equipped whenever one is, allowing us to just equip one and then the other, instead of having to take them off manually.

How about the people who don’t even want the skin, but just the title?

Continuing on this adventure, I went in the realm of lfg/pug fractals. Today I encountered two mythical creatures I thought extinct in the ~60s: the 5-signet rifle warrior and the max-range leroy jenkins bowbear. Furthermore, they were of the defiant kind: the ranger, after running to death a few times and screwing a few other mob pulls by having the bear aggro them while we waited fully buffed and ready to burst, and being told not to do so, dropped gems like “dw the bear has 50k hp”, the classic “the game gives me something to tank and im not supposed to use it??”, and the legendary “we’ll see what you say once the boss kills you while im still alive”. After we were done, he even went “see, the fractal was smooth, what were you complaining about”. The warrior, when talked to, could only reply with “r u jealous?” and incoherent things like that.
I’m not sure what to make of this, it must be circumstancial evidence, right?

Menadena.7482:

People have told me there are differences in how the populations of the EU and NA servers are different for some reason. For example, organizing Teq most of the time (unless it is a guild-organized map) can be like pulling teeth. That never happens on EU servers, defenses and turrets fill up fast without anyone pleading for people to fill those roles.

After a few days of trying, this is definitely the case. In NA there’s much more people disrupting trains and starting events on their own. Most of the people that actually follow are amazed at how well it works when it works. Somewhat the same applies to EotM, people just run ahead and take whatever they can instead of joining with a commander for an optimal train. You even notice it in lfg, people not reading the description are way more common, as are misplaced ads, people that join and don’t reply at all and don’t know what to do, etc. I haven’t tried map meta bosses but I can imagine it’s the same.
What makes it so much worse? Is it just bad luck? Is it that there are more organized guilds and the pugs left are worse?

This content has been temporarily disabled. Please try again later.

So I recently transferred from EU to NA mostly due to ping issues, but a few differences popped up. Do champ trains not regularly run in NA? things like coiled watch farm or cursed shore event chains, they were up on EU servers even with new content being there thanks to the mastery grind, but I couldn’t find any constant one in NA. Is this normal or an anomaly caused by HoT?

Osu.6307:

I’d also drop cash for extra bag space used exclusively for siege that would be shared by all my characters.

This exists, it’s called permanent bank contract. They only need to fix/implement the ability to use consumables from bank by rightclicking and we’re set.

It’s probably there intended to reduce accidental deposits. It’s an irreversible mistake when you’re out in the open and deposit things you didn’t wanna deposit, in the sense of losing track of how much you deposited and how much was already there, and in the sense of having to interrupt whatever you’re doing to go near a bank.

I’m one of the many engis with a celestial ascended set that’s seen less use than before. I’m torn between rolling it to sinister, rabid or keeping it the same.

Viserys Targaryen disagrees.

Dude, they’re just lying to you so you get off your necro. Nobody wants necros in cof, they smell.

Elestian.6134:

Yes, this objective is indicated in the event description, but not all players are equally attentive.

That’s not the game’s fault, is it? It’s the player’s fault entirely. Most of the time, when there is actually some organization going on, the players doing tendrils will yell in map/say chat to stop and do it properly. You can apply this to every other event. If you’re that bad at paying attention why are you even playing.

I am.­­
