Guild Wars 2

1. Stability & skill balance: Bring back Stability and roll back the cc creep in WvW. There was much more group synergy in the past.

2. Fix or revert DBL: Please revert it until you can fix the new BL – it’s too big, too complicated to get around in and too vertical. I think we all appreciate the vision of it, but it’s not working.

3. Rewards: Could we not make them comparable to PvP? The tracks could be tied to our WXP tracks and maybe 5 WXP levels gets us to the rewards?

4. Population balance: I hate to say it but you need to rework the server system. Nobody wants to see their server close, but it may be the only solution. No matter what you do, there will be grumbling and whining – but we will all just deal with it.

5. Scoring: Points per kill was an excellent start.

The tavern buffs aren’t usable by ppl without HoT. The old guildwide buffs were. Therefore the non-HoT ppl have lost.

The guild hall should give bonuses to the guild members – the bonuses we ALREADY earned as a guild should be returned to ALL members. Period. They were earned in good faith prior to the xpack, and the people who didn’t get the xpack aren’t just not getting new stuff – fair enough – but have LOST what they once had. That is very very foul indeed.

Coming from a guild with over 1 million influence and everything unlocked the guild hall has been an underwhelming disappointment thus far. As a mid-sized guild we find the guild hall difficult but not impossible to upgrade. The entire process is a huge time and money sink – you actually get nothing for unlocking a building – other than more stuff to grind, farm, spend on and build with no immediate benefit to members other some pretty art. While there have been no tangible advantages to guild members as we have purchased the different areas, everyone has been active in looking forward and contributing as much as possible so we can recover our previously earned guild buffs and wvw bonuses (+5 supplies…. ). After the absurd discovery that buying an arena doesn’t actually mean you have one until tier 2 we collected our members and with great fanfare unveiled the T2 Arena as a place for all members to enjoy and interact in….

…Only to discover that those members who did not buy HoT are relegated to mere spectators and cannot participate in the Arena. How incredibly insensitive.

Please reconsider this decision so that ALL members of a guild can enjoy the only interactive part of a GUILD hall.

Thank you.

Friday Night WvW Reset was perfect for a lot of reasons. It’s the end of the work week – so most people like to kick back with a drink and play WvW with their guild. For those of us with international guilds, it was timed wonderfully for all our members to be able to raid together and gave us a weekend that the entire guild could enjoy. It made Saturday nights open for Guild Missions to allow the greatest number of members from different time zones enjoy them. This would have segued nicely into scheduling the new Raids for the guild on the Saturdays after missions, with plenty of time for WvW, roaming, PvP, PvE or silly guild events over the ENTIRE weekend, thus accommodating the maximum number of people from the wide variety of different time zones and play styles in our guild. This change of day of the week just screws up the entire thing.

Please reconsider this change and move it back to the tradition reset start. We would like to continue to be able to play with our SEA/OCX members at the same time as with our NA/EU members.

This ruins weekend WvW for many people. If you really wanted to shift times to make the week more interesting – why didn’t you change it to Tuesdays? That is when you release new content and new gem store stock. It would then make the weekends rather intense.

This weekend is a National Holiday in Canada when we all depart the cities enmasse. If it is this upcoming weekend of May 15-17th I hope they allow us to gift our portals to friends.

Elemental Attunement and Evasive Arcana are core to the Elementalist (ANet has stated this in the past as well). We should not be forced to choose one or the other. If they need to change Elemental Attunement to self only and make it baseline – that would be acceptable. A self only Elemental Attunement would not be build defining and would give us an active defense mechanism. If ANet really wants they could do the Grandmaster version with the durations and effects extended to allies.

All Elementalist builds will be relying on passive mechanics (on-hit, on-stun, or just passive -20% dam) on their traits. This reduction of active traits and increase in passive traits removes a lot of the fun of this class.

Finally, Elementalist Elite skills are just not elite… frankly they are underwhelming and mostly unused.
