But why?
I mean,the UI is so perfect isn’t *t?
How could anyone request for anything more?
Isn’t small,normal,large,larger all you ever needed from a UI?
Isn’t it glorious that you can choose to either have a very large
action bar or a very small letter font?
Don’t forget that having proper UI customization could make the
game extremely complicated for some players.
Also,it could make GW2 unrecognisable from screenshots and videos
with the UI customized.
People could mistaken it for Rift or WoW or Hello Kitty online.

An option to hide Personal Story and Living Story info
on the quest tracker please.
A simple box that we tick/untick to turn story info on the tracker on/off.
Also,abandoning an episode on either LS or PS,should remove
that info form the tracker automatically.

I’ve finished PS on this toon.
On the UI the story stops at chapter 7
and chapter 8 of the LS is activated!
Btw I haven’t even started with LS on this toon.
OoooOoooO
That PS UI.
Has there ever been a time that it was not
bugged in one way or another?

I’ll put it this way people.
If someone came to you pre patch and asked you
“Where do you believe we should strengthen the Mesmer”?
Would you reply,“give em more powerful shatter and more stealth”?
I wouldn’t.

Rant and can I have your stuff aside,the OP has a valid point.
I don’t understand why they don’t implement a grace period for PvE maps
as they do in PvP maps.
I lose event and even worse SW map progression of upwards of 30mins all the
time because of a 2 sec disconnect that is most likely on Anets side.
Literally from the time I disconnect to the time I am back on the loading screen
less that 5 sec have passed,back in game in 10 secs.
And even if it is my connection that had the problem I’m back in game in less
than 40 secs.
Really.
Grace period in PvE maps.

Dear Devs.
*
Should not lead to gameplay prohibition.
You know that the only way of knowing if a map is full,
is to join a party and try to port to that map.
You know that people create parties with the only purpose
of porting players to maps.
You know that the megaserver system does not allow playes to know
when a map is full so that they can stop posting in LFG ,nor is there
a way for a player using the LFG tool to see if the party he intents to join
is in a full map.
Why do you penalize a player for simply trying to work with whatever
systems you’ve made available?
There could be a list of all available maps with pop info where we could
join maps from.
Or there could be a way to know if a party is in a full map before actually
joining that party.
But there isn’t.
At least remove the useless party leave limit form the LFG tool.

No, they don’t. I haven’t one shot anyone prior this patch and I am not one shotting anyone now.
Eviscerate, clone shatter, killshot – all hit as hard or even harder (depending the circumstances) as a backstab, so it’s not just thieves who deal a huge amount of damage.
Thieves don’t even bother to stealth anymore.
They just spam auto attacks,and venoms,fire+air sigils do the rest.
But is’t not just Thieves.
My initial impression of the new balance was that it was ok.
It was buffered by the CC,regen,reflects and cleanses of my
staff Ele.
The truth is that everything damage related is so buffed,it has made
the game somewhat of a joke.
My prediction.
This has been the bane of PvP with regards to Esports and this will
be the final nail in the coffin of PvP in GW2.
Meaning that,damage overshadows all other aspects of combat and
does not allow for play and counterplay to be visible.
I don’t see this as a reversible situation.This is what Anet likes and this is what
people that watch Esports don’t like.I don’t care in watching a class using cheese
to burst an enemy down in secs.
Damage is a mountain sky high and all counter play,aka the fluff that
makes a PvP match enjoyable to a viewer,is a mouse standing next to the mountain.
squik squik.Can you hear me mountain?

I play 7 classes and all shorts of builds.
As I mentioned in my post,I currently run my
Engi to take advantage of the new burning.
Burning is way out of control ,and no matter how much
fun you get from bursting your opponents to their unavoidable
death in a few secs,it is not good for the game.
It is so strong,it defines PvP atm.
Also,it’s not like the classes that apply burning don’t crit and do
normal damage as well.For example my Engi runs with almost
2k Power, 1k Condition Damage and 30% to 60%
crit chance.

I’d say forget about it.
The faster you get to like the new system the happier a
GW2 player you will be.
The most important advantage of the new traits system
is that it is much more streamlined and expandable,aka
it is a lot easier to add new specializations now.
Learn to like the new traits and they will like you back.

Please inform the city council that there’s a lot
of cleaning left to be done.
They can’t expect us to pay our taxes when the city
looks like this.
Let’s get Evon to do something useful for once in his life
and get him to clean this mess.
He is most accustomed to dirty work anyway.
P.S Never let a Quaggan do the work of an Evon.

It’s a lot of damage guys.
I switched to Balthazar rune on my engi and went for
burns,since I was getting decimated by it and I decided
to hop on the burn train too, and it is out of control.
Where’s the fun in this?You can melt another player in
5 secs.The game has become burn or gtfo.
A nice solution would be to cap it to 5 stacks in PvP.
It is still a lot of damage.
Leave it as it is in PvE and WvW.

The match has ended.
The score is not changing.
The timer has stoped.
I try relogs restarts.
I AM BEING THROWN TO THE SAME PVP MAP WHERE THE MATCH
HAS ENDED.

Mesmer DPS builds have no sustain.
You need to counter their initial burst attacks,
and you need to put pressure on them asap.
CC them and use some short of burst on them.
They can’t stand a lot of pressure.You need to make them
go defensive.Since you play a Ele,you can freeze them with
your Frostbow 5 and finish them with 2 and 4.
Just make sure to anticipate them using Blink and make you
waste that burst.

If you played pure zerk before you weren’t getting any defensive
stats from trait lines anyway.
And now you can do more damage.
Am I missing something?
Zerk is still the way to go in dungeons.

The classes now seem to be a lot better balanced
than before.
Maybe a few builds are bit high on their burst,like shatter
Mes and nades Engi,but nothing that can’t be countered.
Played the past two days as a staff Ele,ranked matches only.
I admit,I got a lot of cleanses on that Ele and I haven’t felt the
pressure from conditions that a lot of players describe.
I just hope Anet has solid metrics on the matter and won’t go on
to change the balance based on just the forums.
I see a lot of players trying to recreate the pre patch meta,
that don’t adjust their builds and play style to the new system,and
eat dust.

About no1.
Please,stop treating your players as if they were Hodor.
People are smart if you give them the chance to be.
You can’t adjust the game for the lowest possible denominator
and not at least give alternates for the 99.99% rest of the players.
I believe you overestimate the complexity of the game and
underestimate the capacity of players to get familiarized with
new systems.
People log in and they have to spend 5 minutes to read the
Trait descriptions and choose Traits and that is a problem?
Also a Traits/Skill Training UI tutorial video takes 15 minutes to
make and 0 hours to code.
Hodor? Hodor….

The DX11 64 bit clients of W* and AA
are proof that tech alone can’t make a
client better.
If they can’t do DX11 64 bit properly
they should stick with what they know

Are you going to address how you forced characters to train into builds using their hero points without their consent? :o
Why not. Basically there were two options, both with a large number of edge cases.
1) We wipe your stuff and let you respec as you see fit. Because so much had changed this was our initial plan. Here are problems it ran into.
People return from a long hiatus and don’t remember what they were running
People log in and the first thing they have to do before they can play is learn both the new unlocking system and the new build system.
2) We look at what you had equipped and unlock the necessary skills and traits to re-equip you. Here were some discussions points around that:
We might give you stuff you don’t want
at least this won’t matter for lvl 80s if we make all the unlocks possible by just reaching lvl 80.
There is a third option which I’m sure you will bring up.
3) let players choose
Here are some reasons we did not go with that:
Its twice the work
Its actually more than twice the work because it would have required temporarily saving both options until you choose which is more complex technical work.
People who were unlikely to understand or want to explore the new system were going to be potentially more confused by the choice.
At the end of the day we wanted to ship this build so we had to decide. Based on instinct we erred on the side of helping people we thought would be more overwhelmed by the opposite choice, and I would make that choice again because it has less edge cases, impacts more expert users, and leans towards over unlocking for free to benefit most of the edge cases anyway.
Hope this info helps you understand our process a bit more.
Thanks,
Jon

You did not purchase the disc version of the game.
That will be available at launch.
You bought a pre purchase physical copy,that includes a
key that makes you eligible for HoT.
You also got the pp bonuses,as in a char slot and beta access.
The disc version of the game won’t get those.
In other words,this does not look bad because it was never
meant to have a disc inside.

Warriors are still tanky.
Maybe now they need to be a little more aware of their
positioning and dodge a red circle every now and then.
I’ve been playing ranked matches all evening.
They seem to be fine.
Still can be a pain in the bass when played well.

Too organic and blue for me. Even if the Quaggans are the builders they should have followed humanoid lead to rebuild a humanoid city. What I like with the previous Lion’s Arch was the feeling of the Piracy is the city.
The lobster is funny, but not really nice other than that. It feels more like an easter egg or a joke. Mainly, what I dislike is all that is in the center of the city =].
Moreover, where is the Lion? Shouldn’t the city be renowned as the Lobster’s Arch :p?
There is a Lion,and if you ask me it’s a lot more kittened off than before.
I almost heard it say “If you destroy L.A again I’ll kick you in the nuts.
Whats you lookin at?”
