Completely agree, and what you said about the bandit had me shaking my head too…
Plus the whole end of the Story line i just lost interest, who cares when you become a nobody to an NPC etc…
Not to mention all the work and the loot at the end is atrocious, nothing anyone would ever want really, early on with keys etc its good but by the end a blue arms that look like a level 1 armor, wow Anet exciting that…where are all the exotics we deserve for this Story…

I believe he needs a good makeover…
For a nerdy scolar who becomes the hero, he surelly doesn’t show it.
At least have him change gears as the story progress! Have him first appear in simple scholar, non-Sylvari, clothes (to look well traveled) and with a backpack full of books.
Then by the end put him in some kitten armour that fits his sword and position.If A-net re-record his voice acting, it would also be wellcome!
I believe the storyline needs a complete make over, its my personal Story not Trahearne’s i don’t care if he gets the pact together or not hes a nobody NPC that needs to be treated as such, its my Story line….so all i ever amount to being is some pleb that works for an idiot…great news..
Time for a complete over haul to me…if anyone should die its Trahearne, i don’t even care if tyria and the pact get destroyed now im a sidekick…
Edit: Sorry double posted..
Totally agree i paid $98 AU to play Trahearne’s Personal Story line…Really a let down Anet…
if i wanted to be a Sidekick i’d go play DCUO
I gotta say i really liked going to Fort trinity and being told the portals are for higher Ranked People, so they are Trahearne’s personal Asura portals are they…
Also going into the instance at fort Trinity, Trahearne basically says “hi mate bit busy right now bugger off”
What a great personal Story….not.

Traehern or whatever he is called is a NPC that dies every mission yet hes the one that is focused on at the end game, what am i a sidekick?
Man these Quest lines are a let down after the really good beginnings did you guys at Anet run out of ideas or what…
My biggest complaint ever, why am i a sidekick to some nobody tree person that made no appearance till the final Act??
Isn’t this suppose to be our personal Story line not Treahern’s?
(edited by Dante.1508)
Don’t worry after the Order storyline it transforms into someone else’s personal story (Traehern’s story) you just become his lackey.
I highly recommend walking away and getting a drink or snack or going to the bathroom during the cut scenes during the post order storyline as it just falls off the cliff.
This is exactly how i feel, i’m the Hero i do all the work and this Traehern nobody that dies every mission is the main character, why do i even bother making a character if i’m the sidekick?
My Ebonblade Greatsword goes through both her arms! her hands are empty and the sword is Stuck in her arms….
I find lighter colors tend to look better, Asura are very small so dark colors seem to hide detail on them.
Agree Asura armors need more color options, my Vigil medium only has 2-3 options on everything that is bad..
Any Chance there will be fixes for turning pets off completely until we decide they are needed? also any chance the renaming them will actually stick?
I’m fine with Pets and all but sometimes you really just need them to go away for a while so they don’t cause issues….
Me too heaps of lag and small hitches
Not sure what is going on, but my issues seem to only get worse and worse as the game goes on.
Yes i too am getting this its been with me for a while now especially on thief, the problem is it only seems to happen when i enter combat…
Dungeons have become very poor for me with everything speeding up / slowing down freezing / hitching, this last patch seems to have made it so much worse..
Yeah this event is pretty broken, they are very bias, the mummy and ghost appear to beat all… i’ve given up its not fun when others have clear advantages..
I even have some tonics and i don’t want to win 24/7..
Gotta say that part of the event was not the best or even a good part of this event so far, got inane in a few seconds and is really annoying 24/7 in lions arch..
I would prefer the little Asura Cannibal and Aviator plush or minipets
All i ask from Anet is this…
More actual in game costumes less of the useless town costumes..
I want something i can wear permanently not only in the town rarely…
It may have worked in Guildwars 1 but now its an open world i really would prefer stuff i can use, not look at on rare occasions..
Watching that video above, i got nothing like that even before they were patched..
no firey rings, no water fountains, and no ghostly child running in the sewers….
Also i’m on as high graphics as possible?
And the only place i got 4 bags was at the lions mouth, all those other places only gave me one…
Just a quick note, yes i agree the term “entitlement” is thrown around a bit, but we did pay $98 (AU) here for the game, i understand the Cash shop is not needed and all the game is technically free. (bit miffed at having to pay for bank spaces and bags though..)
I will also say you open say 10 boxes and get nothing do you seriously continue to open 90 more boxes and then complain you get nothing…why would anyone waste that much money on a chance item, and then complain they got nothing…and she did not get nothing…
I would feel more defeated at my stupidity of buying 100 keys in the first place…
I got two keys from in game events, both i used and got two skins
One handed Chain Sword
Avian Shoulders (Heavy)
Bought 20 Keys from the Cash shop, got no skins at all.
Make of that what you will, its all chance i’m not bothered at all, i like the other items i get.
A few i’d love to see are
Rock Dogs
Nightmare Dogs (if possible)
Gryphons (Multiple types)
Raptors (Multiple Types)
Dolphin
Electric Fish
Tropical Bird you see(Pirates xD)
Skale (Multiple Types)
Robots/Golums (Asura types)
Reprogrammed Steam Types (if possible)
Skritt (if possible)

It was needed badly 18k – 25k damage……really while completely invisible, wow tough luck on the nerf fellas…
Can people try to see the bigger picture and stop whining please. One buff and one nerf.

Yep i agree it was overpowered, its fixed now… i play Guardian and could see it was broken..
They could lower the cooldown a little, but now they have time to focus on the serious Ranger issues as well.
+1 completely agree with the OP why do rangers get left out, is it all the botters?
Weird they never had all these issues with the Guildwars 1 events, i wonder what changed to make Anet have so many issues with their in game events and festivals etc..
I guess its just the state of Game development these days.
All these issues? This is their first ever major update and first holiday event. What other issues are there?
Every map has high amount of Event issues (broken not working) etc
Enemies reset over and over
Underwater combat has the invincible issues bugs
Auction House works intermittently etc
Bad in game lag and combat freezing
Thats just off the top of my head

I do agree with the GMT stuff the rest of the world uses it and it would make life easy on 99% to use GMT not US timeszones…
After having the pets names reverting hundreds of times i gave up too
Just curious. I know there are many bugs and about half our traits and trees being a bit undesirable, but to the people utterly convinced ele is non-viable, and so underpowered, what would it take to convince you otherwise?
When it becomes closer to the Guildwars 1 Ele i’ll play it again, this version we have now is just bad..
I gave up ele, its a pale copy of Guildwars 1 Ele, if Anet made it more like the original i’d be into it more, as it is now its pretty squishy and too little range and damage..
(bare in mind i could only stomach GW2 ele till about lv26) higher levels maybe better but i’m not gonna frustrate my way too 80 to find out…
Ranger and Engineer were a lot more fun to play.
Wow i never realised the ele had so many issues i knew had a few but Wow, that is a lot..
I really miss Guildwars 1 Ele, this Guildwars 2 ele is a pale shadow to those…
I agree Asura Armors need an overhaul, male and female, while on the topic, a few more medium armors that aren’t trenchcoats would be great, so tired of trench coats 24/7…
Totally Agree, Asura weapons are way too tiny.
Totally agree, all underwater is just frustration at best.
Agree whats the point in getting them if they don’t glow, may as well use any old weapon then..
They should glow 24/7 not only at night, seems pointless to get them.
The underwater aspect of this game is so buggy and full of issues, this enemy invincibility every two seconds then getting me killed its so tiresome at best and anger inducing at worst…
I dread having to enter the water now, i absolutely hate the water parts of this game now because its so broken.
The underwater skills on 50% of the Characters are frustrating and horrible to use (looking at you Warrior)…
I’ve not met one person in my guild or outside that enjoys Underwater combat due to these issues and the guild is quite large…
Please Arenanet fix these underwater issues, it makes half the game unplayable..
All medium armors bar maybe two are crap, i think Arena net has a obsession with trench coats….
God mix it up a bit guys…trench coats get old fast
they are fun but the main two issues i see are.
1. they lock you in the spot when you attack
2. 30 second usage is just terrible it should be 5 mins or permanent, they arent overpowered at all and 30 sec is far too short…..
Engineers get permanent kits etc which are far more deadly than the norn were forms..
I disagree, i like the norn as they are..
Now the Sylvari are amazingly ugly
FPS drops like a rock for a very specific area.

Hi all
I currently run the game on Nvidia Drivers 295.73, but i’ve been getting my GPU fan kicking into overdrive a lot, so i decided to upgrade the drivers to 306.23…
Now i’m getting strange Frames per sec issues in the bandit caves in the Human zone and other areas, i have never had these strange FPS issues before this driver, i looked and i’m getting 3-14 FPS which is insanely low, i also believe its to do with the fire particles and the strange bomb effects there.
I have since gone back to 295.73 and it seems to be corrected again…
My specs are
Win 7 Home Premium x64
Nvidia Asus DC II ENGTX 560 Ti 1gb
16Gb DDR3 Corsair Vengeance Ram
Asus P8Z68-V/ GEN3 Mobo
WD sata 3 HDD 1TB
Very odd Issue…
