Six Elder Dragons not Five * Spoilers *

Its possible that the Master of Whispers believes the Pale tree to be the sixth dragon (for the same reasons some of us believe them to be) and has decided that they aren’t a threat. Thus her 1/5 down statement still makes sense. After all, the races of tyria have lived for centuries with Dragons as part of their cultures, so there shouldn’t be too much stigma about the sylvari.

The Commander - New System

I rather the commander tag be earned with Guild Influence. Have it last for the length of a WvW rotation (1 week right now, 2 in the future) and allow it to stock so that you can research before the current one ends.

Zero’s idea just seems overly complex.

Players completely invisible post-update (Oct 7)

I hope they get this fixed soon. WvW is unplayable right now for me and a lot of the guild I am in. The only thing worse than not seeing anyone, is reporting bad information to a commander about enemy numbers because you weren’t able to see the rest of the 50 person zerg the 3 that DID render were with.

Prior to the Oct 7th patch, I occasionally had some rendering problems, but nothing like has occurred since its release. I would always be able to see what was in the immediate vicinity and things at a distance would render slower. Now it takes a long time to render anything at any distance.

Until this is fixed I intend to do other things that have been suggested in this thread such as level up other characters, sPvP, Personal Story, and Dungeons.

Night capping is a derailed name for the true issue in WvW

Yea I have to agree about one thing in this, the free transfers which was supposed to stabilize and balance the servers hasn’t worked at all. If anything its done the opposite. People are jumping from server to server in order to make temporary alliances, some are making bets about who will win and loser changes server, Pugs are just switching to the winning sides making it so the servers no winning dont have the numbers to make a comeback.

I can’t think of any reason why they continue to have the Free Transfers up now.

Though, I don’t think this is the main reason why servers are losing. I think the main reason servers have been losing is because after the first day, one team is ahead, and the others give up. This was especially evident in my own server last rotation when I didn’t experience a single queue after the first night for world vs world. There needs to be more immediate incentives to the individual player to keep playing WvW after they fall behind apart from those world bonuses.

10/5: Crystal Desert/Dragonbrand/Tarnished Coast

Its interesting, certain Dragonbrand guilds have approached Crystal Desert guilds with bets in the effect of “If we win, we’ll move to your server, if you win you move to ours…”

I don’t know of any guilds who have actually accepted these approaches, but its funny to see how desperate Dragonbrand is for WvW guilds.

What's the lore behind WvW?

They refer to it as the Mist Wars, but I don’t remember hearing the NPCs actually discuss what we were fighting for other than glory.

Avoid crystal desert for RPing. Never seen it at all, anywhere.

Dominion of Winds bigger than we thought?

I noticed this about a week ago myself. Lore wise it really doesn’t make sense. We can throw out excuses that “All their territory is known as the domain of winds” but from what has been said in the past, their only territory is the island that used to be known as sanctum cay.

Now theres this area just west of islands arch that isnt near sanctum cay that is walled off by the tengu.

I don’t think it was a mistake by the programmers or anything but rather the people who wrote the lore reviews that claimed their only territory was on the island of Sanctum Cay, because clearly it is not.

Monsters are turning invulnerable when I kite them too well

This occurs when they have roamed too far from their initial spawn area. Its not a bug, its a game mechanic. There may be cases such as Sarisa’s Cursed Shore skill challenge that IS a bug, but thats a case by case basis.

Sometimes their natural Patrols will take them to the edge of their ‘vulnerability area’ and even kiting them a small bit will take them outside it, this also isn’t a bug, just poor routing for the monster.

Audio Problems with all storyline conversations.

Asura (Statistics VAL- A Bronk) Has happened in every single cutscene since the beginning at least once or twice, usually occurs for the NPC’s first line of dialog and then the NPC starts talking.

This is not a new bug for me, I have reported it 3 times in the past (durring BWE1, BWE2, and BWE3, BWEs 1 and 2 it occured in Norn Story, BWE3 occured in Charr Story) and this will be the forth time (I just started Personal story after reaching lvl 80)

Its not just the audio files that are corrupted. If you watch the lips of the characters you will see them move when there is audio. When the audio skips, the lips don’t move at all. Its as if that segment of the cutscene isn’t being called to play at all.

I'm sorry, class balance isn't there.

“Haha L2P Nubz”… No.

I agree, the classes don’t seem to be balanced that well, but at the same time if you CAN play one of those other classes effectively you should take greater pride in it.

My main is a lvl 80 Ranger, but I also try to play all classes because they each offer something different. I think that unless you play a class you can’t really understand it. I don’t even pretend to understand engineer yet, but I hope too in the future.

Level 80 Player's Problems With the Undead (Orr/Risen) Zones

I don’t mind the Risen, they can be a bit of a problem, but if you use dodge and other skills to stay out of their attack range than its easy. You really only get swarmed when you aren’t careful about how many you aggro.

Thats good to hear. Its one of the few suggestions I’ve seen on this board that makes sense.

Name Bank Tabs

Posted by: Saranis.3718

The bank tabs can be hidden which allows viewing other slots easier, I would like to see this taken a bit further and allow you to name each tab. This would allow you to better organize items. Tabs could include “Weapons” “Armor” “Consumables” “Tokens”…

I’m not asking for arena net to increase bank size (though it would be nice) just the ability to Name the different tabs once they have been purchased. Right now they aren’t called anything.
