Hi everyone,

so I was just wondering what you guys would think about the idea to make the elite-skill “Head Butt” a Rage/Physical skill to be able to use it in combination with the “Peak Performance” trait in the strength trait-line.

Do you think it would be to OP then? Or it would actually help the warrior to get into a high-level competition level again, using this barely ever used trait except when you maybe play with "Rampage"or “Bulls Charge”.

In my opinion all the Rage skills could actually also be Physical skills since they pretty much behave like the current physical skills we currently have as warriors, so it would kind of make sense to be able to use them with the “Peak Performance” trait.

Maybe just remove the 20% cooldown reduction for Physical skills from the trait, otherwise you could really insta spam “Head Butt” all the time.

I managed to get back in after I used the -repair function on my client, then the network error was fixed. Just google gw2 -repair and it will explain you how to use the command.

All I read is “we have done a lot of work and it’s not ready yet. It is big though, but we will be bundling a bunch of other stuff in there that is not Living Story. Oh, and it won’t be coming this month.” Nice PR piece.

Thought exactly the same, “Hey guys, we’re still alive and doing some stuff just so you know, and it’s gonna be big stuff, really, but we also throw in so other stuff, because you know, the one big stuff actually isn’t that big so we need the other stuff to make it actually look like big stuff. And as always, soon™.”….

Hi,

I’m rarely in this part / area of the game anymore, but I just went back there today for the daily, and this hasn’t been like that ever before, and I don’t get that anywhere else in the game, I switched map and everything, but it still looks like this when I get back there.

So, is this only me or is this actually a bug everyone got?

I love this pvp game so much.

kitten , I didn’t know PvP was already a thing back in 1996. Must’ve been a great experience with that 56k Dial-Up modem.

Rangers were or still are nearly immortal in underwater combat, with the addition of druid I don’t think anyone could beat them at the underwater capture point, it all would be about who got a druid on his team or which one of the druids is there quicker to capture it first.

I just think it’s funny since a warrior(s) are actually known gamewide, in nearly every game I know at least, as pure DD’s with raw physical power and all that stuff while still remaining somewhat tough thanks to the heavy armor, yet in GW2, Anet decided instead of toning down the overall condi output and / or damage to bring actual DPS a little more back into the game to balance it out with condi players, they decided nope, warrior is now also a condi class.

Dear Arenanet,

I know currently there are many mixed feelings and opinions floating around because of the recent change back to the “old” -> original borderlands.

But still, I’d really like to express my personal grattitude towards you for doing this change, I’ve been playing since the 1st beta of GW2 and I always was a vivid WvWvW player and roamer, I’ve already expressed my feelings towards the issues with WvWvW , PvP, balancing etc., already a few times in this forum, but always in a small matter so barely anyone really noticed or recognized my issues / rants with WvWvW. But I always was, to make it short, on the side of the WvWvW playerbase who thought there is to much PvE input in the new borderlands as well as the overall design with all the heights etc. was just not fit for large scale PvP battles and so on…

Altough I myself, kittenented the desert borderlands to the last bit in its current state got kind of cosy with it during the end, I am still very gratefull and thankfull you brought the old borderlands back, you can just feel and see how much more time and development and thought went into those maps during the development before releasing GW2 to the public, not that the desert borderlands were super bad, but they just didn’t fit very well or very tight with the alread established WvWvW meta kind of gameplay.

But who knows what’ll happen to those borderlands within the next 3 month’s if you rotate borderlands all 3 month / quarterly. Maybe you’ll surprise us big time when the deset borderlands come back so we don’t want to have the alpine borderlans back, surprise us =)

But to make it “short”, tonight was the FIRST evening in 3 years I’ve seen all borderlands having an queue of up to 10 people and more, so I hope you really learned a lesson out of this, WvWvW players are not PvE or mainly PvP players, we’re WvWvW players and we fight to support, protect and bring glory to our server, and we want to be heard, recognized and supported just as much as in the other 2 game types you offer.

Kind regards
Sir Masao

Chris Cleary.8017:

Account sharing comes with certain risks, which is why we have a rule against it. Normally we don’t action against it (unless one of the parties was doing bad things). Doing it during a tournament is a bad idea.

I’ll make something very clear. When you share your account, we know. You can try to hide it, but we know, and we will be watching.

The patch was ok to good in my opinion, to get the warrior at least a bit back into the pvp / roaming game, but after some testing with different armor sets (Zerker, Viper and Soldier, everything full asc. and tested in WvWvW), the warrior just always feels a bit left behind or well under performing in comparison to other classes who put out around the same amount of damage, cc, support or sustain but yet, it at least feels or seems like the other classes have way easier or better access to re-apply certain boons, condi removal, heal, cc or even blocking + healing thanks to certain class specific traits and/or short skill cd durations in comparison to the warrior.

It just always feels like I’m missing a whole trait line as warrior, because I have to make such big trade-offs choosing certain abilities over others in traits, making me strong in one way but completly vulnerable in the other way, which actually is good class balance, but the problem is, other classes just don’t have to make such big trade-offs and just stay strong in nearly every aspect off the game, be it power, condi, heal/support, boons, condi removal, cc, blocking etc. etc. .

So, they either start nerfing the other classes finally or give warrior the same rofl stomp abilities, and I’d rather see the first thing of those 2 happening.

It’s just crazy when I as a power or even condi warrior have to always try to stay close to the enemy if I’m not using bow or rifle, and try to get through the enemys blocks, protections etc. and making sure I’m actually facing the enemy to make sure my attack hits while trying to stay alive in this condi spam fest with barely any form or chance of applying condi removes, condi converts or apply any healing or protection boons on myself, I’d have to use banners, shouts and warhorn todo so, which then would render my class pretty useless in combat since then I’d be a team support warrior, just way more inefficent than any ele or druid, while other classes like revenant just have to click on my name, use skill 3 and come flying doing “crazy” dmg while being invulnerable during that time and having nice block + heal abilities requring nearly none actual skill lvl.

- close please-

I just thought we could remove the special adrenalin bar and use the normal one and get a 3rd weapon to switch between while making the new F1-Skills the stanard F-1 skills when havin berserker traited, if not, we get the “old” F1-Skills and “only” the standard 2 weapon sets.

Maye change some trait lines which give exrra adrenalin and do something else instead. Just throwing some ideas around.

Congrats on getting out of MMR HELL BRUH

Thank you, it was a hell lot of work and dedication, I almost gave up once I’ve managed to reach diamond divison cause I thought I’d never be able to stand to go through such horrendous match ups again for another 7 tiers,not only 6 like in ruby but 7, I was like “Omg, never gonna happen!”, I’d never torture myself any further, but thanks to all those good matches and wins my spirit got lifted up once again and I pulled through and finally made it, so yeah, thanks again =)

And finally, after all this trouble and struggle, today, I managed to finally reach the legendary divison!

And you know what is funny about the whole thing? I only had win streaks and only very few losses in dia. divison after having 20-30+ loss streaks throughout the whole system until I finally made it to diamond.

And only 3 days in diamond I went through it like a breeze straight into legendary divison, with taking 1 day off in between cause I was getting wasted on day 1 or 2 and had to work the day afterwrads with an hardcore hangover so I had to skip / sleep trhough a day of PvP.

Hi everyone,

I just thought I’d finally be able to give a quick update on my situation and gameplay.

So, I’ve finally reached at last diamond divison, it took me an insane amount of games and hours to get there, mostly, as everyone already knows, due to the reallykitten*ed up matchmaking system this season is in place. I got hate from every corner no matter what, L2P, noob, casual, you belong in this division if you can’ progress and all that bullkitten you hear everywhere, cause “MMR Hell” doesn’t actually exist to all those fabulous players out there who went through all the divisons and games with ease and breeze, so I deserve all those losses and all those bad match ups and all those “bad” or well let’s rather say not so experienced players in my matches.

It took me around 400-500 matches with a playtime of around 4-6 hours a day to reach diamond with loss streaks of 10-20+games with some vague win streaks of 4-5 games in a row.

But let me honestly tell you, it does exist, I was one of the few unlucky ones which lost their first or first 2-3 matches at the beginning of this season and it straight went downhill from that point on, as I said before, I never considered myself the best player or on par with the ESL players or anything, but still, a fairly good player, so I thought I’d reach ruby / diamond with ease which I didn’t, I had to grind hardcore for it to be where I am now.

In the end I also was forced unfortunatly to leave my main class warrior behind and switch to necro to get any further within this league system since I just really couldn’t help or do much with my warrior in regards of carrying my team, since I still believe I was probably the highest MMR player on my team within the matches I got so far, so it was probably supposed to be my job to solely carry the whole team ahead with my warrior class which is just nowhere near the meta game curently.

I really don’t consider myself the best or greatest player there is of course, and I never went into this season, same as last season, expecting it would be easy and an free ride to legendary, never did think so and never expected so, but, since I’ve been playing since headstart GW2 PvP and I thought I know my fair share of PvP and classes and how they work etc., that I should at least be a little bit above average, so ruby / diamond at least, since I never fell below an average win % of around 52-53% during those 3 years.

But now, thanks to this season, my win % got downed to around 48-49%, which just put me in hell, I couldn’t get myself out there no matter what, I tried grouping up with friends, other classes, but nothing did work, especially since I just mained warrior since GW2 so it was kinda hard ot get into a new class, but after 3-4 days I finally managed to get the grasp of how necromancer work and finally managed to grind my way out of ruby divison into diamond divison.

And let me tell you one freaking thing, I just hit diamond about 1 hour ago, and I’m going on with an 10+ win streak right now, all of a sudden, in the high tier divison where it should’ve been even harder and more difficult, I find it much easier and better to win without a problem, I just lost 1 match, since I was writing this topic beside playin matches and I should’ve gone to sleep 2 hours ago since I have to work, but let me tell you, if I had time and a day off tomorrow and cared for this and the coming matches, I’d probably breeze through diamond right now.

So yeah, TL;DR: MMR Hell does exist and it is one kittening kitten time and effort to get yourself out of that hole if you don’t manage to play the right class in the current meta with good groups or friends.

Please bring back the old Borderlands, it would already solve so many issues with the current wvw, thank you.

Well, I don’t know where, but I’ve heard that somewhere the past few weeks. But well, as it seems, you can’t carry every team doesn’t matter how bad or good they are’, especially if you, the carrier, plays warrior.

The matchmaking is real.

Hi everyone,

as an warrior / berserker only player. struggling pretty heavy in this current meta and season to climb up the ranks, I just thought to myself, what could probably be the best thing to happen to warrior / berserker to get him back into the game or well meta?

Then it hit me, why not allow warriors / berserkers, just like thiefs / daredevils, who have their elite activated, instead of 1 extra dodge, you give warrior / berserker an extra weapon “set”, like, instead of 2 weapons, you can exchange between 3 different weapons? Wouldn’t that be awesome?

Well, tell me what you guys think about this idea.

Snaff please! =)

Arenanet please, this is getting just out of hand, why am I always teamed up with 2-3 of the same class in one match, or against pre-mades or with complete and utter beginner lvl pvp players who don’t know kitten about the mode, this is just freaking killing the game for me

1. The game teaming you up with 2-3 of the same class has nothing to do with matchmaking, it’s just the fact that build diversity is kind of terrible right now. You’ll see reapers, scrappers and revenants everywhere.

2. The game fills your team up with people of the same MMR as you, so apparently you’re “utter beginner lvl pvp player” yourself or the matchmaking is broken. Personally I haven’t had any issues with it, so I can only assume it’s the former.

Well, i’d say after having played over 3.700 matches, 2.200 in ranked games, reaching in old leaderboards a ranking between 100-200 and hitting ruby last season nearly diamond with my warrior, I kind of just doubt that it is solely because I play bad but because I get teamed up with bad players.

But yeha, maybe I really just do suck and won’t see it.

Maybe it’s just because you play warrior, then. I’ll argue against people saying the matchmaking is bad, but I won’t argue with people complaining about balance/diversity.

I don’t complain about balance, balance is fine, ok scrapper is really a bit over the top and reaper chill does get really frustrating, but I can totally live with that and play the game with those classes in my or the enemy team, it’s just annoying to have 2-3 sometimes even 4 of the same class in my team, being the warrior then sure doesn’t help, but I won’t change my class just so we be 5 of the same class, this would make no sense, those players just really most of the time don’t know how to rotate, decap or get buffs / kill lord, they’re straight up completly new in PvP and I don’t get why I constantly get teamed up with such players.

Hi,

dear Arenanet could you be so nice and please reset or fix my MMR? …..

It can’t be that I get grouped up with 3-4 of the same classes in 5-6 out of all the matches I’ve played so far which is around ten games.

Hi,

I was just wondering when exactly will season 2 start? I’m asking this because you guys at anet ended season 1 pretty much exactly at midnight to the day on which season 1 ended, which I’m still upset about, since I as many others thought we’d still have some time on the last day until the patch hits to get the last few pips to reach the next division (Only 3 more pips and I would’ve made it to diamond…) since that was pretty much the procedure you guys at anet always handled this kind of events.

So, can we also expect this time that the season will start around midnight or do we have to wait until the patch hits?

Thanks in advance for your kind answers.

Just a very little and short iteration of what warriors / berserkers imagine to be or well, want to be inside of GW2 PvP. Maybe this little video will help the devs. to clear up what warriors / berserkers understand or well expect to happen between being a simple warrior and to change to berserker.

jacore.2583:

I only joined the game and couple of weeks ago, I assume the fractals leaderboards did not work out so well?

No one knows, it never got ingame since they’ve been announced back in 2013 I think it was.

Almost another month has passed on this subject and yet no more informations have been released regarding this issue, a developer response to it would still be very much appreciated.

Maybe the recipe is just an super rare drop from inside the fractals, be it from a mob or a chest, or maybe an special NPC that appears after defeating a certain boss from a certain lvl or above a certain lvl, or maybe only at fractals lvl 100.

I guess we just have to wait and see if anyone ever gets it droped and posts about it. Problem is, most people do fractals now only below lvl 51 for the dailies, so it could take a while until one drops or finds out about how to acquire it if it indeed only drops at higher fractal lvls.

Best system ever in place, much fun, very enjoyable, such skill, wow.

Pretty much this since day 1 that the league has been introduced, I probably will quit PvP until next season when there hopefully is a better system and meta in place.

When it’s ready, Soon TM and of course it’s on the table.

Being mad, angry, salty or whatever is of course understandable and your / our right since it was promoted or well, it was advertised and a selling point for me to even buy HoT, but when you’re as long as me with GW2 now, you just expect this things to be normal procedure with Anet and to happen this way, so you take everything they say and add +3 months to it, then you either get it or an announcement that you will get it within the next 1-2 months.

Palador.2170:

Sometime this spring we’re due for another of their announcements on it. It’ll be the usual “We’ll change. We’ll talk more about our problems and our plans. We’ll open up. We’ll be honest. We’re a team, devs and players.” with a bit of “It’ll be different this time. We’ve changed, we know we have. We won’t backslide again. You can trust us! We love you, players!”

Within a month, it’ll be back to what it was before. And a month is being generous to them.

This + “We listen very carefully to our loyal playerbase here on the forums and on reddit, so we know what you guys want and just wait for the next quarter of 20xx since there will be many new big patches coming with features/balances we know you all wanted but we can’t tell you guys anything specific about it yet.”

followed then by when those patches hit

“Well, we’re sorry that you all feel this way about our changes, but according to our internal testing and metrics, this is what you guys wanted, ain’t that so? Well sorry, next time it’ll be much better, we promise!”

Awww yizz, finally something is done about the turrets, faith a little bit restored.

+1 Can’t wait for live update.

How about this:

1 – 3: Pre-cursor of choice, Nr. 1 gets guaranteed access to HoT Beta.
4 -10: 1600 gems, 20 laurels & 2 pieces of glorious no one cares about set.
11 – 50: 800 gems, 5 laurels & 1 piece of glorious no one cares about set.
51 – 100: 400 gems & Mini Llama
101 – 200: Mini Llama

GS / Greatbow Masterrace!

I love playing my little Warrior, although I get a lot of hate all the time for playing it.

But that’s just the way I like to play my warrior, and I much more prefer playing the way and build fitting my playstyle instead of some current meta build which everyone plays and needs to play, otherwise you’re a noob and it’s instantly your fault if your team lost, and if you play it but suck at playing that build it’s also your fault, so no matter what you do, it’s always your fault of losing, never somebody elses Shocking news, I know.

Also I think it always adds a little spice to the match for the enemy, cause a GS build is amongst the most unsuspected, so if you play your build well enough you can even be an deciding winning factor in a match.

But well to get on topic, wait for stances to wear off, stun / bind warrior and burst him or apply your mass condis on him, and he’ll be dead, easy.

Hi everyone,

I just thought I’d make an quick suggestion here for the WvWvW Dolyaks, since I saw that in the last living story patch you also just like in WvWvW had to protect dolyaks and bring them to the next keep or tower to get more supplies.

The suggestion is that, in PvE on the new map, if an dolyak there dies, you still have a certain amount of time to ressurect the dolyak before it completly vanishes and respawns, this does not happen in wvw unfortunatly, in WvWvW when there dies an dolyak it vanishes instantly and it takes about 2-3 minutes until it respawns.

So I wanted to make the suggestion to maybe also add that nice little feature into WvWvW, since it sometimes really is annoying when you or you and others from your server push dolyaks into the towers or keeps and then there comes a group of 2-5 enemy players and kills your dolyak or even farms dolyaks on your server and it is then instantly gone, I think it would be great if it also had a timer like 30 secs. or 1 minute to be able to fend off the enemy player and be able to ressurect the dolyak or maybe have the chance some other player comes along and helps you to fend off the player or ressurect the dolyak while you fend of the enemy player before the dolyak vanishes completly

Thanks for reading and your time.

Regards

That’s probably true, it won’t do me or anyone else good, especially sine my server just has 1 player less participating in the fights to help out, other than that for me it will just be an game mode I will get less frustrated about because of not playing it, with no need or intend so far on the devs. part to change that anytime soon for the reasons you just stated.

But you can’t really do or well build any buisness model for WvW, since adding anything to the gemstore to maybe improve yourself further as an player in WvW or further improve maybe your keeps & towers defense or power by buying some item will be seen as p2w which would be terrible of course, there was already a huge sh** storm about that candy corn eater item from the gemshop.

So all in all we’re still at the same point again, or well at a point where each itself has to ask do I just keep playing this way of wvw for the enjoyment of huge battles but not from an PPT aspect or do I just accept the fact and play along this game mode although it’s not really made for me who wants well balanced out fights for a good PPT fight plus overall huge epic battles.

Besides that, all we can do is keep waiting until something will or will not happen wvw and just play, as always, and just ignore the forums in total since there is no point in argueing and discussing wvw related issues and other stuff since nothing is gonna happen because wvw is not part of arenanets buisness model.

Well what else can be done then? All the wvw related issues have been stated dozens over dozens of time by many different well and not-so-well known people / guilds from the community, and yet nothing to barerly maybe some little things, except eotm, has been done to fix those issues.

So it is obvious to me that there is no more reason in looking for help or answers in this forum by the devs. about those issues, but to start taking other measurements and ways to “show” my frustration by just not loging into wvw anymore.

A few weeks ago I was really happy seeing some CDI’s being held and that gave me a little hope, but then seeing how those CDI’s resulted in the devs. saying they want to remove the white swords,… I was just beyond speechles that they’d even consider such thing.

I agree with most of what people here already have stated, I myself also abbandonded wvw for about a month now because of the lack of updates, wanted / needed refreshing new implementations to the system and bug fixxes, staleness overall because of the unbalanced wvw populations across all the servers, bad match-up’s, pvd’ing and the problem with night capping.

Rewards I must say I’m fine with, maybe a little better drops from the rank up chests.

But anyway, the only conclusion I was able to come up with was to just “boycott” wvw, not joining it anymore until anet finally pays more attention to it again. And I guess that’s probably the best what anyone can do so that anet will realize how bad the situation in wvw currently is, just all commanders, big wvw guilds and so in, if we would all stop logging into wvw, for say as an example beginning from 1. Dec. to 1.Jan. and only the “randoms” keep playing who can’t do so without an commander tag on the map leading the “brainless” mob., I think they then would finally realize that something has to be done really fast.

Tulki.1458:

Immediately before this patch: 10g = 70 gems.

Immediately after this patch: 10g = 57 gems (going off the 400 gem exchange rate).

They tampered with prices to make gems more expensive at exactly the same time as they removed the price history and made 400 gems the lowest increment you can buy in. Did anyone else see this? No other holiday event has had that big a fluctuation before.

Hey Tulki,

I wanted you to know I went immediately to see if I could get an answer on this, and don’t worry, there was no “stealth nerfing” of gem costs. What happened is a common occurrence with new builds: A whole lot of people made exchanges when the new build went live. And as you know the conversions are market driven.

So that’s why you saw the seeming discrepancy in the exchange rate. All is well, and it will continue to ebb and flow according to the volume of exchanges, as always.

No it won’t, that’s just a lie, at least in my humble opinion of another player in this game, no one in his mind would just blantly use this new exchange system without checking it out and seeing its disadvantages, except those who are, sorry again, not meant as an insult, toddlers or maybe mentaly not fully capable people who obviously play this game and give their support tickets and metrics to you, which must be, scaringly, a lot out there. And any programmer, coder, scripter, call it what you want, would write their code to at least consider the previous ingame metrics of exchange rates etc. to automatically adjust it’s rates to it as soon as the new build goes live with it, there may be a couple of minutes (which still even is a very high amount of time for code to calculate and adjust) to synchronise with it, but not after more than an hour into the new build, sorry.

Sorry for the long post, I just had to get this off my chest, feel free to delete this post if you don’t like it and / or give me an forum warning or whatever.

Regards

Hey there,

Here are a few tidbits from the team:

• A lot of newer players had trouble with the interface. That doesn’t apply to you, you’re veterans who have been around the conversion block a time or two. But newer players will benefit from the updated system.
• The goal was to make the Gem Store more like other shopping experiences, and if you think about it, there is more of that feel to it now.
• You may be surprised to know this (I know I was) but very few people bought gems at smaller denominations than the first one offered in the new system. That’s not to say they never did, nor that there wouldn’t be the desire to do so. But overall, the current options were selected based on player purchases in the past.
• The team is going to listen to your feedback and, if and when it’s practical and desirable, they can look towards adjusting the new system to better meet your needs.

So please keep your thoughts coming on the new system. Feel free to make suggestions but please, keeping them constructive would be very much appreciated.

Hey there,

Here are a few tidbits from the playerbase (Of course I don’t represent everyone from the playerbase duh, but I’m one of the rather quiet players, only saying something if even I as a quiet and well “rather” satisfied player and money spender gets kittened of from some things you pull off) :

• I’m really sorry to hear that, but at the same time, with the change to NPE the last time and this change now, what kind of audience are you honestly reaching / targeting for? I don’t want to offend anyone, seriously, but it seems like you want toddlers or mentaly disabled people be able to play your game, if they didn’t “get” the previous system, then I’d honestly just say screw it, if those peoples logical thinking or IQ is that limited, they’re just not supposed to play this game, leave them behind, seriously, please. I was always a big supporter of GW2, looked over many flaws of it and kept an blind eye over other stuff, just like yeah, that happens, it’s not good or perfect but ok, yeah they’re busy, yeah they’re not that big of an company so they’re not that fast and stuff with things than others, i’ll let it slide, GW2 is my little “boy” so it’s ok, in the future it will grow up and surely surprise me with something big that will make the wait and endurence worthwile up until now, so I cna laugh at all the other haters always complaining about Anet and how they don’t listen to their customers.

- But nope, instead you keep kicking me in my private parts, at least it feels / seems that way. No matter how much I try to believe any further in this game and the direction it is going, I just can’t ignore the simple fact anymore that it doesn’t seem that way, there’s only a few options or well possibilities why that is so, which are in my mind are either one of the following:

a) You are absolutly under the control of NCSoft and you can’t do all the things you’d really like todo for the game because of NCSoft’s “greediness”, which would really just be a huge shame for the GW Series and Anet themselfes since they’re doing nothing but hurting their image, the fanbase and the franchise, so you maybe just stop making anything GW2 related anymore and just move on to another game and leave GW2 R.I.P., leaving it to NCSoft to turn it into an full korean / chinese money grabbing gemshop game .

b) You really try your best, but somehow we say A and you understand B all the time.

c) Quote from Youtube error: "Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. If you run across on of them please tell them the following error code: “abcdblahblahblah1234”.

• No it’s not, absolutly not, or please tell me when did you ever enter an store on an online shop, where they limit your ways of purchasing or trading something in a way you have to buy or trade bulks of one currency for the other, and if you don’t have enough yet, you can’t buy or get enough to precisly match the price they’re selling it for, but no, you have to buy or well pay 200-300 more of what they actually need, just to get it, so you can get it but have an left overflow of the curreny you have absolutly no need for right now. It just makes no sense, it’s sorry, nothing but stupid.

• So, just because there weren’t as many, but as you said there still were people, who did that, you just think: “Yeah, screw them folks, there’s not that many of them, won’t make a big deal will it, right?”. So you just made an group of players buying at least some gems or trading at least some gold to gems or vise versa, completly obsolete, just screwing Anet because in the end because they of course now decide to not give a kitten anymore and to not purchase anymore at all, good job.

• Just revert it, end of story.

Dear Anet,

we’ve been together since 2005 and everything was going so well, but i noticed over the last ~2 years that you have changed. Maybe it’s my selfishness for wanting Addons for which i want to pay, or that i still want to have my homeserver which i have choosen insteat of megaservers, or that i want a balanced pvp and wvw, or it is the fact that i still want to fight other guilds with my guild in our own personal Guildhall, or that i simply want to choose how much gold i spend on gems. Well i guess iam just to selfish, so this is it. It’s not you, it’s me.

Dear
Random Player 1234

PS: Actually it is YOU, not me.

Can’t upvote this enough.

This was really just a plain stupid move from Anet, can’t see any good or positive thing about this change, it’s just maddening stupid. No one asked for it, no one wants it, it’s just super kittened, sorry fo the foul language but that’s just how it is.

I hope they change this very soon / very quick, or they’ll have seen money from me for the last time in this game buying gems, this is just outragously stupid.

I guess this says everything.

Organized crime on Tyria must control all the unions because by now, some 6 months after Scarlet’s defeat, the major bridges should have all been repaired, wooden debris removed, less damaged structures repaired, some of the major pieces of wreckage from Scarlet’s drill removed or have crews around it tearing it apart, etc.

This must be it, there can’t be any other explenation but that, some sort of underground skritt mafia, probably the ones who also stole the whole money raised from the queens pavillon, are also controlling the supply market, that’s why the work is going so slow.

I mean in open world events bridges far bigger then those in LA get destroyed and rebuild on a daily basis, right? ;P

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask if anyone lately has experienced anymore progression in rebuildung lions arch? I myself haven’t seen any significant signs in the couple of the previous patches we got, that there has been any progression in getting rid of all the rocks from the broken buildings or repaired bridges at least or the removal of the driller from the ocean in lions arch or where the portals to WvWvW are.

I also wonder what will be when the Halloween Event hits this year again? Will the Halloweens Lions Arch be the one we previously had, or do you think ArenaNet will completly decorate this new lions arch?

Just aksing cause I’m kind of getting sick and tired of the current state of Lions Arch, I really start to miss the old one we had, it was open, had nice music playing, much was going on around althoug most of it wer erepetitive NPC’s but still, it’s better then this all time depressed dark lions arch where everythign is just bad because of scarlet.
