Same for me, still can’t buy the firestone after completing the heart. Suet doesn’t drop either.
Unless this is intentional, which means we have to replay the chapter in order to complete the daily (seems an odd decision to tie a daily with a specific story chapter, but still… if that’s the case, I didn’t test it).
Still bugged. I’m on a char that completed the story, but can’t do the daily – Sun Warming simply doesn’t offer the Firestone to buy :-\
+1, excellent post
As someone else already stated, the old maps were made with WvW mindset behind (strategic position for towers and keep), while the new maps seems just another pve area where you have to struggle against terrain and npc instead of, you know, fight other players.
So… Yes, I want the old maps back.
- Describe a typical hour for you in the Alpine Borderlands in the past. For example, What size of group were you running in? What kind of tasks did you run? What activities did you do?
I was used to roam a bit with a couple of friends, flip camps to lure enemies into a small skirmish, joining the defense of a tower, following a commander and taking part in a big fight for a T3 keep. All these activities were fun and entertaining, at least for me.
- Compare your experience described above with a typical hour spent in Eternal Battlegrounds, if you went there at all. Does your style of play change between the 2 maps?
I wasn’t a big fan of EB in the past. On that map small skirmish were very rare, so I went in there knowing my choices were somehow limited compared to a bl. Occasionally it was good to take part in a very big battle tho, like defending SM.
- Compare your experiences described above with an hour spent in the new borderlands.
In the new bl I usually run, run and run, then run some more, break a door, kill a boss, do it all over. Hardly I can found someone to fight. The biggest battle I’ve taken part was a 15 vs 15ish players, and happened only once. There’s virtually no team defending (since the autoupgrade why bother?). It’s all utterly boring.
- Describe the nature of combat in the borderlands in the past. How have the new borderlands impacted this paradigm for you? What style or build changes might it cause? For example, knocking people off cliffs or into lava might play a more important role.
Since I can hardly find someone to fight in the new bl, I can’t really tell if there is any difference so far in this regard.
- In your experience, compare the time it takes take a structure or objective here, then it did in the past.
I guess it could be more or less the same. Unfortunately, in the new bl the amount of running you need to go everywhere makes the capping a lot less frequent than in the original bl.
- How is the loot and wxp for you compared to in the past? Will it be able to sustain whatever you are doing? Did it take a hit, or was it improved? If you are planning to unlock an elite specialization, do you think you were helped or hurt in these regards? Do you think you could pursue any other in-game goals just by playing WvW?
I never cared about wxp and loot when playing WvW – I literally played for the fun of it, so I can’t really talk about the difference (if any).
- How will the map change impact the long sessions (multiple hours) you spend in WvW?
Nowdays I don’t feel to spend more than 20 minutes in the new bl, I got bored much faster by the lack of fights and the endless running to get somewhere. If I want to play wvw for that much time, I join EB.
- In 100 words or less, describe how the new BLs could be improved.
Shrink the map, by huge margin. In addition to that, either remove a lot of verticality terrains or add gliders so players don’t get irritated by the numerous obstacles that prevent them to go where they want (to a double cross to join a fight for instance).
- In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a new WvW player.
I don’t think they can work at all. The new bls are too confusing, too big, and it’s hard to find a fight. Can’t imagine what fun a new player might get from these conditions.
- In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a veteran WvW player that is new to the maps.
As a veteran, I can’t really find a way so the new map can work in their current state. I just go there when I’m waiting for the EB queque.
- Which map am I most likely to find you currently, if you’re on Gw2?
Either a competitive 5vs5 map or some pve map – still hoping the future holds some good changes for what it was a once fun WvW experience.
Seems broken for me as well :-\
Same for me, made 3 keys and no achievement :-\
Same issue, just come back from an invasion and suddenly I’ve been unable to sell at the tp.
same issue, Underworld server.
Same, mine is disappeared from the bank tab :-\
Being a collector myself, I’d die for an option like that (ok, maybe that was a bit extreme :P let’s just say I’d really like if this kind of option could be available in the future).
I’d even pay a reasonable amount of irl money/gems/ingame golds or whatever to be able to play old contents, even if instanced, and get those achivements I missed back in the days (and those I will miss in the future – irl always gets in the way!).
Just my 2 cents.
Can’t login as well.
