Your character frantically flapping their arms like wings.

Laughing so hard now. Even if we only get this on Apr 1 I want it.

Best. Idea. Ever.

Thanks for sharing. Can you, or others, give some examples of items that formerly were offered that you’d like to see again? I’m happy to take your ideas to the dev team!

Thanks.

Hi Gayle,

The jungle explorer’s outfit!
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Jungle_Explorer_Outfit

It was removed from the gem store before HoT launched, and I’ve been sad ever since. I mean, here we are, in the actual jungle, and the jungle themed outfit is unavailable.

Would totally love to see it brought back, hopefully before we all pack up and move to the north, or the desert, or underwater or something.

This is the internet. Patience gets you nowhere. Patient people get left behind. Want action? Be as loud as possible, as often as possible.

It’s tragic, really – the only way to get results is through shame and rage.

If six developers are the difference between new content or no new content, you’re doing it wrong.

You’re telling us you can’t spare (or hire) six people to keep the legendary weapons we were promised going? HORSE HOCKEY.

Here’s an idea. Don’t fix it. Seriously, I don’t care. I HATE the story missions in this game. They are boring, uninspired claptrap with battle scenes that are far too drawn out, cut scenes you can’t skip and dialogue that makes you want to self harm.

Just give me my lousy mastery point – and the one for the followup mission, so I can get on with my life. Thanks.

P.S. A year??? A year. That’s how long this bug has been unaddressed. Unbelievable.

You guys — SAB is coming back. Colin said it. It’s true. This is positive and definite and no I don’t have a date and I know you’d like to have one but that’s not possible but… it’s coming back. Posts that proclaim it’s not coming are not just wrong — they’re dead wrong. Posts that express upset about the coin — while I understand them — will be moot when SAB returns. Which will happen.

All I can say is keep your chin up, because it’s going to happen.

Yes but will any of us be alive to see it? When the amount of time spent waiting for a piece of content is measured in YEARS, you’ll excuse us if we call shenanigans.

Because while there’s a choice of 9 options, 4 of them are so ludicrous (typically) that you just do the 5 that somewhat aren’t. Although I have no doubt the day will come where I don’t do the daily because I can’t find 5 that I will suffer doing.

Every time they’ve changed the dailies, I’ve hated it. I thought this time would be great because we were getting optional ones. Instead its 9 options, nearly half of which are totally ludicrous, leaving 5 that are more wonky and annoying than usual.

So much this. While I did appreciate new options such as 40 kills in Ascalon/Shiverpeaks, I was disheartened to see many options that are either terrible (PvP/fractals*) or unfeasible (skill points/personal story when you’ve already completed both).

By the time I auto-discounted those things I was only left with 5 other activities I could do and unfortunately a few of them (healer, aquatic slayer) were ones I was hoping I’d never have to do again after this patch.

• Seriously, how many people have posted they never did the monthlies because of WvW and Fractals requirements, so they decide to put them in as dailies instead? boggle

What’s terrible or ludicrous for you might be fantastic for someone else. Everyone who is complaining in this thread needs to remember that this game caters to the tastes of 2-3 million players, not just your own.

I hate to be cliche, but if you honestly cannot find 5 out of the 9 given choices to complete each day (in a timely fashion), you’re doing it wrong.

I for one applaud the changes – biggest improvement on the daily system to date. Choice = power, and power belongs in the hands of the gamers. Even those choices which I do not prefer, at least get me thinking about other parts of the game I might otherwise gloss over.

Pro-tip: On days where kill variety and healer are on the same list, head to the Thaumanova Reactor in Metrica province. The hapless researchers who reside there are constantly getting downed by the wide variety of monsters that appear out of the clouds of chaos magic – it’s a two for one sale! And if you’re lucky, the fire elemental is up too, so there’s 50% of your group event daily as well.

My thief performs very well in pve. We have a wide range of viable builds, and bring a strong mix dps, control and utility to any dungeon group. Shadow Refuge alone will make you an asset to any group – and that’s before you factor in all the mad kiting and damage you can do.

Survivability on a thief is actually quite high – it really depends on your skill level, your experience with dungeons, and your build. Speed, agility and stealth are your allies, and you must use them all to excel. On top of that, there are many traits you can choose that augment your ability to self-heal.

Ah, you make a good point, Nike.

And Manticore – spoken like a true Bookah.

I just recently started an Asura guardian (this will be my third character to 80 so far), and I’m really digging it. Very different that either of my other professions.

One of the things that really attracted me to the guardian was the example armour on the Asuran character creation screen – it’s a mix of T3 and T2 (the chest piece) cultural armor, and looks totally boss.

Obviously I can get the pieces, but what dyes do you think make up that colour scheme? The armour on that screen has an almost mirror-like finish, but every time I preview the cultural pieces on my Asura, they look rather matte.

I’ve included a screenshot for reference. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

WTB fast forward button so Kaineng can continue their ascent through the tiers.

Really not keen on being a ‘free badge dispenser’ this week, lol.

Anyway, best of luck everybody, have fun out there.

The number one question asked by our guild members when someone proposes a dungeon run is, “is it contested?” And if it is, there is much less enthusiasm to run that particular dungeon.

My opinion about dungeons is this: At this point, we’ve seen all that dungeons have to offer. Some we like, some we don’t like, some are fast, some… not so much. Regardless, they’re not new or exciting to us. We’re not there to ‘experience’ anything – it’s been done a dozen times over. We’re there because member X needs Y tokens so he or she can get those nice things they want to have.

Forcing us to do a chain of dynamic events just so we can get to the entrance is not something we enjoy doing. It’s not fun or engaging; it just adds more time and boring repetition to an activity that is already boring and repetitive.

Want to contest the waypoint? Fine. We’ll send a runner, no biggie. But at least let us get in the entrance without having to re-clear the zone (I exaggerate of course – but that’s how we feel).

In short – please change this. Soon.

Killstreak boosters are NOT being accepted.

Please fix.

“You are not guaranteed to receive a rare item after opening a Black Lion Chest. You have a chance to get a unique/rare item. Some people are luckier than others. The Halloween skins are tradeable, so if you aren’t able to get them in a Black Lion Chest, you can obtain them on the Trading Post.”

That’s some fantastic snark, right there, that is.

Translation: “Yeah, we took your money, and we’ll do it again. And you’ll get nothing in return and like it!”

Guild emblems are not viewable for me in the the guild window regardless of guild I am representing. ( I am in three). All I see is what appears to e a sliver similar to a skill slowly unlocking. This is not true of all members of the guild, but a random few. Bug report and screen shot submitted last night. Thank you.

Try dragging the guild window closer to the top-left of the screen and the emblem may appear.

This used to affect everyone in our guild, but yesterday those with nVidia cards could see it anywhere on the screen while those with AMD cards still had the issue. I don’t know if that proves anything or is simply a fluke, but I thought I’d share.

Holy carp, that actually works. There’s an invisible, fixed position on the screen to the left of which, the emblem displays without issue. To the right of it, it doesn’t. Dragging the guild window across the screen, you can actually see it disappearing across this mystery threshold, like someone put another window on top of it that only affects the emblem. I can’t even begin to imagine the cause.

When Arenanet finds the time, I would desperately love to hear the explanation of this one – it’s bound to be amusing.

Thanks for the tip, and hopefully it’s something we won’t have to do in the future!

First person view. Period. I’m tired of not being able to see what’s going on in tight spaces (jumping, combat, etc), and I’m tired of having my back be a featured element in every single screenshot I take.

Your artwork is beautiful, your map features lavishly detailed… please let us see them.
