Guild Wars 2

- Fractal Level 49
- First of the day, finished just after midnight. Didn’t run yesterday at all (although I started this one at about 11pm or so).
- None
- N/A
- The two people in my guild who are at personal reward level 50 both received a chest.
- Yes?
- I was only at personal reward level 34 so I should have received the tier 3 reward chest, which would therefore presumably be affected by the bug.

Solo.9027:

I like that the rainbow hides the attack until it hits.

It’s actively bad for people to be able to hide an attack telegraph in WvW.

I suggested this over in a different subforum on the subject of Bifrost – in case you don’t know, Elementalists with Bifrost have been completely shafted because we have at least six projectile effects which have all been replaced with the same 5-seconds-in-MS-Paint rainbow projectile.

This is amazing. ArenaNet should totally implement this, and it wouldn’t be hard at all.

Largely posting because you haven’t had any replies yet and the thread needs the bump for attention.

I’ve transmuted one of my old stakitten on top of Bifrost for now, it lets me get the ascended stats and the legendary stat-switching without the terrible projectile. But this is only a temporary fix because I want the staff I worked for.

Leashe – the Dreamer footfalls copying Bifrost REALLY annoyed me when I noticed it earlier, too.

Archmage – I had it for about two weeks. I know how you feel

I’ve tried to alert GW2 support to this thread through my support ticket (which received the cheery copy-paste response “why not post on the suggestions forum?”).

I’m really not a fan of the rainbow trails at all. I like the elemental trails.

I was devastated when I logged in yesterday and discovered that I had the same tacky projectile for all of six different projectile attacks over all four attunements. This shows a colossal lack of effort and forethought by ArenaNet.

As it is, I can’t use Bifrost. I would rather have the Exotic stats than see the Legendary I worked so hard for completely ruined. I’ve contacted support suggesting solutions, and failing that, asking them to unbind the Bifrost from my Elementalist. I figure that if we can get some decent suggestions and support for Bifrost being fixed then it’s more likely that we’ll get a happy result. I know I’m not the only annoyed Elementalist!

A few suggestions:

1) Allow owners of Bifrost to choose between Bifrost and Bifrost 2.0, the former lacking the projectile effects. This will take approximately 5 seconds to implement, and will keep everyone happy, both people who like the new projectiles and people who don’t.

2) Remove the terrible Dreamer projectiles altogether and put a rainbow aura around the projectiles. This would require a bit of work because different projectiles would need to have the effect implemented differently. Remember, projectiles and their trails are important for the whole look of Elementalist!

3) Add an option in the stat selection panel for the Legendary which lets you turn projectile effects on or off. (This could be extended to enable people to toggle things like footfalls as well.)
