Guild Wars 2

Well played, ArenaNet. Well played.

Is there anyway to lower the rank requirement for t3 armor? […]
Feels unobtainable.

Sure, if we can agree on lowering the requirement for the legendary PvE armor from 150 to like 30 LI.

Chapeau Mr. O’Brien, Chapeau!

is it really that big of a deal?

Not at all.
But over the years the WvW-(forum)-community has grown so toxic and dissatisfied with everything Anet tries to improve their game mode that complaining about it is the only thing they know.
Even if Anet did exactly what they want them to do, they would keep complaining. No wonder the Devs wander off to Reddit.

It’s funny how this topic always comes up shortly after a server relinking.

The only bug I remember related to this mission is, that when you start the mission while being in OS. I did this multiple times, the mission always succeeded but I never got my personal reward chest.

Try starting the mission while none of you and your friends is in OS (e.g. stay in Lion’s Arch). Then enter the map and do the JP. That’s how it works for me.

How do you feel overall about reward tracks?
Great addition to the game, absolutely love them. And from what I experienced it brought back many players on the borderlands. Even though I’m not sure how long this will last.

What are your thoughts on the rate at which you gain participation?
As far as I can tell by now, the higher your participation level is, the less participation you gain. That’s totally fine for me, because right now it takes only about 20 min of taking camps, killing dolyaks and flipping sentries to gain kitten tick. I mainly do roaming in WvW, so I can’t tell how it looks for zerging.

How do you feel about the rate you earn reward track points?
To complete a reward track you need 20.000 reward track points. So with an average tick of 500 you need about 10 hours to complete a reward track. I don’t know how many games or how much time it takes on average to complete a PvP reward track but for someone who actively plays WvW I’m totally fine with ~10 hours per reward track.

Overall, what are your impressions about the types of reward tracks we have?
To be honest, I feel like you just copy & pasted the existing PvP reward tracks, exchanged some core elements like Memories of Battle and blueprints. Personally I really don’t need any dungeon reward tracks. Even when I played PvP I just played the glorious armor reward track (for the skin) or the HoT maps reward tracks (for the free black lion key).

Are there any other reward tracks you would really like to see?
I’d like to see more WvW related reward tracks. Reward tracks where you can get a stack of 25 superior blueprints of your choice, a high amount of WXP (around 10k-15k), a random WvW guild schematic or a high amount of badges of honor as the final reward. What I would also like to see are some changes to the existing reward tracks like exchanging some of the tier rewards for badges of honor or WXP.

You’re welcome

It’s fixed!
Just tried it in WvW and everything is working fine.
Thank you for fixing it Anet

Since the patch I’m facing the same problems as the OP:
The trait combination “Mug” (Deal damage and gain life when stealing) + “Hidden Thief” (Stealing grants you stealth) no longer works properly for me, neither in nor out of combat.
When I start a fight with steal I mostly (not always!) get the stealth buff, but if I use steal in combat I always get the revealed debuff even when I use steal on a target which I’m not fighting with at the moment.
