Aye, still receiving the following error message, too:

The last few days, I have not been able to access the Dev Tracker page, it just endlessly tries to load.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/devtracker

EDIT: For the first time in several days, I was just now able to finally connect to the Dev Tracker page after about 7 minutes of it trying to load. In general though, yes the Forums are very sluggish right now. Funky stuff!

I would prefer some level of clipping.

Thanks for the fix, has made romping about in Draconis Mons a much better experience!

Oy! Its a struggle to navigate Draconis Mons with the current 1080 lighting issues. I did turn my shadows down to High, which helped a little, but in most areas I still am getting no ambient lighting, making it very dark and difficult to get around.

There seems to be a new (?) fellow in Lion’s Arch, located southwest of Lion’s Court on a grassy spot surrounded by baskets of potion bottles and refining equipment.

He’s an asura named Tradesman Maezz and is associated with the Consortium.

His first dialog prompt offers two options, one to try out some potion he is offering (first one is for free) and another to tell him to get out of LA.

I did say yes to trying out the potion and consumed the Bottle of Refined Krait Oil he gave me. I now have an hour-long ‘Krait Oil’ buff that has the description of, “Everything SEEMS normal…”

Further prompts he asks if you have tried the potion yet or not and responds accordingly.

I tried talking to him on another character to try that second option, to tell him to get out of LA, but it seems my choice to try the potion is an account-wide choice.

Who IS this fellow? And… that Krait Oil buff has me pretty weirded out, though nothing has happened to my character… yet.

The question asked: Today we are here to ask if you believe Repair Hammers should be introduced as a live beta item?

This is not a “yes, add it” to the game permanently. This is “yes, let’s try this out for a bit first before we vote on whether we want it or not”.

We’re being given the option to try this out first:
Yes, Repair Hammers should be introduced on a trial basis.
After players have had a chance to test repair hammers we will hold a follow-up poll to determine if repair hammers should become a permanent feature of the game.

Speculation on whether this is good or not is just that: speculation. This poll right here is actually giving us the opportunity to try it out before we vote on it definitively.

Squee!

I am so happy and relieved that Simultaneous Borderlands won the vote!

Variety is a Good Thing™!

Ben K.6238:

“Most” did not vote for 1 month rotations. Most voted for more than 1 month, they just didn’t agree on how much more.

They made the right decision. 1 month was the wrong decision. End of story.

LMAO This is proof of just how convoluted this poll was! HAD ANet actually given options for less than one month, that would have been voted on, too. But since that wasn’t even given as an option in the poll, then no, 1 month was NOT the wrong decision.

Oh, and in what is seemingly bizzaro-world polling, 15.9% of the vote won this time, instead of the highest score of 38.1%.

Can confirm I have this issue also. I’ve also spoken to others in WvW who also have this same issue.

The “Magus Falls Reward Track” in WvW does NOT unlock after having completed the prerequisite “Tangled Depths Reward Track”.

I also bug reported this issue in game.

Swagger.1459:

This is why pvp in this game will never grow… I’m not sure where the disconnect happened with gamers, but the core and spirit of pvp zones is players fighting other players… This is a 101 concept.

Again, WvW is not PvP. WvW is… WvW, which includes various types of gameplay, to include PvP, but WvW is not only PvP. The disconnect is the folks thinking WvW is supposed to be purely PvP.

Swagger.1459:

PPK has to be an important thing, sorry. Everything else should be secondary.

All facets of WvW—PPT and PPK, for instance—are important. No one aspect of WvW should be “secondary”.

All facets of gameplay in WvW are valid and are there to work together, and none should be disregarded—collectively, they are what makes WvW.

WvW is not just PvP. Making PPK be a thing in WvW has reallly screwed up the basic intent of WvW: objective capturing and keeping. The current attitude in WvW is really negative and outright hostile when it comes to anything PPT.

I WvW for all aspects of WvW, and I feel there needs to be a stronger focus on ensuring a healthy balance of all aspects of WvW.

I love the Minor Supply Drop tactic! Why? Cuz it makes up (ever so slightly) for all the folks brainlocked on PPK and not actually taking care of supply lines. Especially when siege (and especially refreshing siege) is held in such disdain… until an objective is being attacked and siege is only put up reactively—instead of preemptively—and thus draining supply very quickly.

I go to WvW to WvW—WvW is much more than JUST PvP.

As for other tactics… allow for Assault Rollers to be slotted in Towers and Keeps also. Assault rollers are another type of Siege Golem, and can be better utilized than banners. (Plus, Assault Rollers are hilarious to watch bounding about.)

Please keep WvW as WvW—with siege and objectives and capture and defense. Not everyone enjoys open-field herd-vs-herd PvP, so please ensure that you keep WvW as WvW with the many facets that its always had—to keep the many play-styles in WvW satisfied.

Greetings, Mo!

As much as I appreciate the idea and theory of the new Desert Borderlands, I feel it would be in the best interest to the overall health of WvW to reestablish the Alpine Borderland map again.

Thank you very much for your post—responsive and concise information like this is truly appreciated!

YES! to Friday @ 9 ET / 8 CT / 7 MT / 6 PT

Someone posted within a recent Reddit thread, a pretty thorough list of Gem Store items and the last time they were made available for purchase:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4632j5/gemstore_update_golden_wings_glider_combo_and/d0230xh

Also, Colin responded to another Reddit thread recently regarding the return of the Apostle and Tribal skins to the game:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/465twl/its_been_a_year_since_last_time_but_can_we_get/

Here’s to hoping we’ll be able to get some of these items again Soon™!

YAY! ITS THE WEEKEND!!

Dungeon running this evening! We’ll be completing the story and all paths for Caudecus’s Manor.

Our social team has been hosting some fun contests lately, and in a few days we’ll have our Valentine’s Day celebration in-game. Come join us!

Boop! We’re running Dragon Stand meta event right now and will be working on more of The Shatterer achievements throughout the evening.

Happy Monday, everyone!

We’re hosting another Shatterererer No-FLy Zone/Smash the Dragon achievement run, and later we have Guild Missions.

Hope to see you there!

O hai!

We’re running all of Ascalon Catacombs tonight—Story and all the Paths.

Come join us!

I’ve asked in EotM if folks are experiencing these issues for their objectives in their respective EBs and BLs, and the response is a resounding, “Yes, they’re bugged.”

Again, if you have an information that can help ANet narrow down this issue so it can be fixed, it would be greatly appreciated.

YAY! We survived the week! It’s Friday, Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!

Howdy!

I haven’t seen any discussion on this bug, so wanted to see if other folks are experiencing it in their Eternal Battlegrounds and Borderlands, and if so, maybe we can gather up some data so ANet can get this bug fixed quickly.

As of several days ago, guilds (the claiming guild or other guilds) are not able to slot Tactics or Improvements in some claimed objectives (there is an inconsistency with this but which makes it more difficult to nail down the issue). The ‘sound’ of slotting a Tactic or Improvement is made, but nothing actually happens.

For example:

Tarnished Coast Keep and Dragonbrand Keep have no Tactics or Improvements slotted, though their keeps are fully upgraded to Fortified and “Public Tactic Activation” is check-marked.

The same goes for Tarnished Coast’s and Dragonbrand’s Borderland Keep—claimed, upgraded, "Public Tactic Activation check-marked, but unable to slot any Tactics or Improvements.

It appears the same issue is happening for Jade Quarry’s Keep in the Eternal Battleground, and Blackgate’s Keep in Blackgate’s Borderlands.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues for their server’s claimed objectives?

Beep Boop! Hope everyone is having a good Thursday. The weekend is almost here! YAY!

Daily Shatterer AND… Smash the Dragon achievement today!

Meep and howdy!

Eldvin Monastery Brew of the Month: Dragon Bash Barley Wine

Greetings, friend,
Bash dragons and celebrate your victories by drinking this unique barley wine! Its mild body and rich fruity flavors will always leave you wanting another sip, which can be dangerous, much like fighting dragons. Dragon Barley Wine greatly adds to the experience of this time of year.

Good health and a glass for your thirst,

—Desch Metz
Master Brewer, Eldvin Monastery

The Shatterer is a World boss, also called the Beast by some Sentinels, and a rank given to a champion of Kralkatorrik. At any given time, there’s only a single dragon of this rank. Once a Shatterer dies, the title moves on to a different dragon.

The Shatterer regularly patrols the Dragonbrand within Blazeridge Steppes, commanding the Branded within. It is said to be one of the forces keeping the corruption active in the area. The Sentinels and Vigil are both actively fighting the Shatterer.
