Guild Wars 2

I selected stats for my Mistward armor I now regret. Can I just make a new revenant and acquire a second set of armor for it?

1. The search function at this moment is useless inside some of the forum sections, like Revenant and Engineer in Professions.
I can search with words I can see right in the thread titles, or sure-fire terms like “revenant”, “staff”, “pistol”, “gyro”, and I get No Results.
I can do this with every modern browser, all extensions turned off, with no varying success.
Even the search-function itself is very rudimentary, and doesn’t allow any sort of advanced options.

2. No dates in thread listing.
There’s absolutely no way of knowing when a thread was created – or when someone last replied to it – without going one by one into the threads.
It is soon 2016. Forum softwares could do this last millennia. I can see no rational justification why it should be like this.

Trying to navigate, search and use the forums to any useful extent is giving me grey hairs.

Ok, I’ve got the recipe for Plate of Piquant Plant Food, and at least
2 Slab of Red Meat,
2 Ghost Pepper,
2 Saffron Thread, and
4 Foxfire Cluster,
and level 400 in Cooking.

And I can’t find Plate of Piquant Plant Food listed in the crafting window.

I bought and activated the recipe with another character than the one that has Cooking, but I thought that recipes were account bound so I don’t know if it’s that.

I’m unable to get past the part with defeating the bandits at Earthlord’s Gap.

The wiki article states that there should be a cinematic after defeating the last bandit, and that the player should open the cages.

I get no cinematic after defeating the last bandit, and none of the cages display the prompt to open them. The objective is just “Defeat the bandits.”
I’ve tried talking to Thackeray before and after the assault, his dialogue remaining the same.

The bug has disappeared with the most recent build, and I was able to initiate the cinematic.
I’ll leave this post for a while before deleting it so nobody is left wondering what happened.
