I always did the Up path only until yesterday. Someone convinced me to try the Forward, Up path instead saying it was about the same difficulty as the plain Up path.
Yea…it wasn’t. It was way more difficult. I also heard the forward , forward path is harder than both. I don’t even want to know what’s down that road after yesterday.
I was frankly shocked when I read they don’t have any plans for this. This seems like a common sense feature that should be a no-brainer in a game that supports cross server play in dungeons.
GGs. I will say that I have a little bit more respect for HoD than I do for Stormbluff. In a straight PvP fight, I find that the HoD people overall are better in combat. I’ve been in a lot of battles where Sb outnumbered my group substantially and still managed to bumble it and lose, where this seems less likely to happen again HoD.
To the guy whining about getting laughed at or danced on, I am one of those guys. It’s half the reason I picked an Asura (aside from them being the master race) and I’m glad it got under your skin
There should be multiple versions of each type of armor to allow different builds with it. Don’t tell me they currently are the best stats for WvW, that’s not your decision to make.
“a reward system allowing small stat increases , hit points, armor, crit chance, weakness chance, hitpoints, armor factor, or anything similiar is a very good reward system allowing the player to always work towards making his character better”
This would be great. Nothing massively powerful but subtle progression would go a long ways.
Honestly on the topic of gear as a reward for WvWvW, I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but I feel like the stats on the gear are terrible for my class. There is only 1 set for medium armor, but 3 classes that use it. The stats are just not ones that I want, so the drive to save tokens to buy gear with is not a good motivating force for me. I may end up buying the chest piece for for the purpose of transmuting the appearance of it for the stats of something else that’s actually good for me. There should be something more to shoot for, and don’t mention that 500 tokens for a prereq of the legendary I will never live long enough to get counts, it doesn’t.
Agree with this in its entirety, and Arena Net would be wise to read and consider what was said here.
I would add that I want to be able to see the WvWvW maps BEFORE pick one to get into. I want to know where my time would be best spent for the team, and going in blind is just pointless.
There also needs to be more things to use the badges for.
The entire first segment of the dungeon’s explore mode up to and including the first boss are way out of balance compared to the rest of the dungeon. It needs to be reexamined.

Thank you. This issue seems to be resolved now all of a sudden.

Over the past weekend my friend who is also co-leader of my guild had his account hijacked from him. Tickets were submitted, and everyday since the hacker is playing on my friends account and he is still unable to get back into the game. Obviously as co-leader, the hacker was able to access our guild’s bank, as well as all the other powers that come with it.
4 days without this being resolved is unacceptable. He can’t even post on the forums because the hacker has changed all of his passwords. This is 2012 and I viewed GW2 as a AAA MMO. I saw a post saying these were being addressed within 48 hours and soon would be down to 24. 4 days in and we have well exceeded the 48 hours stated by the AN team.
What is it going to take to get someone to look at this and get my friend control of his character again, and us the ability to secure our guild assets? I think we have been more than patient at this point, but I can’t sit by any longer and hope the gears eventually turn someday.
His ticket numbers are:

Someone please get on this and resolve this, otherwise I will use the means at my disposal (see sig) to make sure as many people as possible know how poorly the handling of this situation has been.
Thank You.

Please allow ranger to be able to stow their pet indefinitely. There are situational boss fights and jumping puzzles where I want to put my pet away and keep it away.
I used to be Longbow and Greatsword. I realized that in almost every instance where I was forced to draw my sword (short range combat) that I was pretty much a dead man. I switched out the GS for a Shortbow and I feel so much more effective. It’s literally like an entirely new class.
We should be allowed to put pets away until we decide to bring them back out. I put mine away for jumping puzzles because it gets in the way, but everytime you take a point of fall damage, hes back out and you have to wait for a few seconds before you can put him back, and repeat.
Also some dungeon bosses the pet can be a net negative. One such boss spawns adds on party members, and the pet counts. If the pet is out of place it can screw your fight up, and since you cant put the pet exactly where you want him, I should be able to keep him sidelined until I want him back.
It needs to be in the game..
Agree with thief and mesmer down states being too annoying. I don’t even bother finishing anyone anymore. I just keep DPSing.
Allow rangers to put their pets away until specifically wanted. I turn my off for jumping puzzles cause hes in the way, then i take fall damage and hes back out, then i need to wait 10 seconds, then put him away again, then repeat. very annoying. Also some boss fights the pet can be a problem where Id rather not have him out.
2 days going now that I have been trying to run Citadel of Flame and can’t because its broken. Apparently its our entire server, and only our server. Please get on this.
Let me see the WvW maps before I queue so I can make an educated decision on which one I would want to help with.
Let me filter trading post armor by type so I don’t have to comb through armor my class can’t use to find what I am looking for.
Reduce the token cost of the dungeon gear, running the instances that many times for a single piece is not fun.
Make the stats on the PvP WvW gear actually stats we would want. I have all these tokens and literally nothing to spend them on because the gear stats are trash compared to what I can buy in the AH in 2 seconds.
Consider adding another WvW area that is underground and non-linear like Darkness fall from DAOC. This would allow more people to get into WvW and create a unique environment for WvW.
Add an option to auto deposit collectables upon pick up so I don’t need to click the send to collection button every 10 minutes.
