Yakslapper Title Bug

It’s true. Baby Yaks have yet to grow their siege plumage and killing them is just considered baseless and doesn’t count for yakslapper. That said, there is also now a new silently added achievement called “yakslaughterer” which now tallies the kills of said younger yaks.

Wallet

Was literally logging in to say the same thing.

ANet you changed the wallet to do great things a while back. Everyone cheered. Even your own Design/GUI people cheered and were happy.

And then you beat the ever loving kitten out of it, kicked it in the kitten, and peed on its kitten, and abandoned it to the wastes of the Shiverpeaks. Why? Does the team that revamped the wallet not exist anymore and no one can understand it? Does the Design team staff live off nothing but salt and negative feedback? I mean. you guys have done some really great things. I want to keep seeing great improvements like the arena added to the oasis in the Desert Borderland.

I’ll level with you. I am still catching up in HoT (not even in LS-season 3 yet) because of a computer problem a while back. But after I’m done with HoT, I don’t actually want to keep going because of all the crazy crap that I keep seeing and hearing gets stuffed into the inventory instead of the wallet. I’ve paid for bank, storage, & bag expansions, but I’ll stop if my only reason for doing so is because what should be in my wallet or on a keyring is taking up my inventory instead of cool loots, adventuring gear and what not.

This is the kind of stuff people are thinking about as we decide whether expansion 2 is worth pre-ordering, let alone ordering at all.

Squad UI placement issue

I actually came here to say the same thing. I just got back into the game and was trying to fuss with the squad UI and couldn’t figure out how to change the tag. Everyone thought I broke the game until I tried moving the squad block to the top of the screen.

I keep the chat on the top of the screen because I can keep it very large and open without it being in the way. So I’d much prefer to be able to use it on the lower half of the screen.

I use “Windowed fullscreen” which also makes it a 1920×1080 resolution. Changing UI size did not improve the situation.

Reviving the Revive Orb

This sounds like a great improvement and I really don’t know why “locked in combat for 60 seconds” is such a confusing point for other people. makes sense to me! I’ll take that over the crippled at 1 HP any day!

I bet it looks better and makes more sense lore wise, but I’ll miss the Ghostly Caretaker. That guy was the kitten and the first time I saw him in my early days I peed a little with excitement! I would totally support an option to somehow choose between the two animations. Or maybe your animation is random? or based on where you died? (I dunno. just trying to think of ways to not let cool assets die)

That is a great start! Thank you for the update.

Could you kindly walk over to the WvW team and tell them to get off their kitten butts and post an update on their plans to fix WvW since the game mode and community are hemorrhaging players and going the way of old Ascalon!?

I think… I think I love you for this.

AC Exploit

The next patch will contain adjustments to arrow cart line of sight calculations to address this problem. Due to feedback the new calculation will give advantage to defenders by being forgiving when the arrow cart is being fired from higher ground to lower ground.

This is going to cause the same problems that you guys have been working to fix with arrow carts.

Welcome to the Desert Borderlands Stress Test

Hi all,

  • Keeps will now mark enemy players within their perimeter, for the first 5 minutes, after being flipped.

Will this mark also apply to stealthed players? And if so, will it actually reveal them too, or if they are stealthed will you see the mark on the minimap but not the player?

The ‘Marked’ debuff will apply to a stealthed player, but the player will only be visibly marked on the map while unstealthed. We may set this debuff to also reduce stealth duration, but wanted to get feedback on the basic version first.

As annoying as they can be, skilled mesmers hiding in flipped keeps to portal in allies has been a staple of WvW strategy and easily something mesmer players are often proud of being able to do successfully as well as earning the endearment of their allies. Teams securing keeps are often trained to look for these mesmers and it nulls the strategy as well as the thrill of the hunt to have players easily marked or reduced stealth.

I think it’s a valid use of mesmer skill to effectively infiltrate during assault, hide, and then portal in allies that is well within the game’s strategies and rules. Frankly, I’d encourage reconsidering this whole “marked inside keeps” thing.

Disclaimer: I am not a mesmer player and never have been.
