The mastery system has not been fun for me; if anything it has decreased my enjoyment of the game. Especially the required mastery needed to progress in HoT content. It has slowed my progress due to lack of fun. Glad some people like it, I just don’t see the point. But the reason I enjoyed this game in the first place was because it was less grindy than others out there. So adding more grind seems like moving in the wrong direction.
Ground mounts that offer no more speed boost than 33% from swiftness would be fine, wouldn’t really change the game much aside from people that want mounts can have them. Although I would limit jumping capability, the idea of doing a jumping puzzle on a mount just seems wrong.
What made mounts cool in other games, once upon a time, was that you had to actually travel to places in an open world. Getting around wasn’t just porting from place to place. I realize most people hated the long travel times, I think it adds to immersion, but whatever. Once that concept is lost mounts become trivial.
Not excited about the Dragonhunter, dislike name and gameplay. It’s just out of step with the Guardian archetype and based on 42 pages of comments there is obviously something wrong here.
Same issue here, also not able to patch Wildstar launcher either for beta weekend which I only mention because GW2 and WS are both NCSOFT… might be connected.
I was at 4/5 daily achievements, finishing up last item of killing 25 creatures underwater when my achievement counter when from 4/5 to 0/5, total reset, no chest reward. Such a massive waste of time…
I’m bored with endgame, Orr being dead is part of the issue, finding dungeon groups can be difficult, but honestly it’s just lack of progression for me. I know, I know… not a progression based game, but what I’ve realized after playing GW2, even as a casual player, I need at least some progression/reward to enjoy the hours spent on endgame.
Oh, and Fractals progression isn’t doing it for me, not in a raid-less game. Open world progression would have been better imo.
The playing for fun argument makes sense to me, until I realize that progression is a large part of the fun, long-term.
This has happened at several random events and I’ve tried to report each as it happens but it also seems to be an overall bug.
Several times when I’ve joined an event already in progress, I’ve noticed that the event is stuck. Such as 7/8 waves destroyed but the 8th wave never arrives. This not only prevents anyone from completing the event, but seems to cancel all other activity in the area from taking place.
This keeps happening to me while involved in underwater combat, I almost kill a mob and then they turn invincible, swim away and their health regenerates to full. Then they come back and attack fresh, often after I’m engaged in combat with a new mob. This has happened often enough now that it seems like a bug and not just a fluke.
When I activate Signet of Mercy it does not revive a nearby downed player. I have tried several times now with another player right next to me and it has no effect. This makes the signet useless.
Also, when using the trait Perfect Inscriptions which supposedly improves signet passive effects, non of my signet tool tips change to show any improved effect. I assume this is just a tool tip issue but it makes me wonder if the trait is working.
