Aren't your tired of looting bags ?

Having lots of bags is actually brilliant for a couple of reasons.

1. It saves inventory space during play time. Instead of your inventory getting completely clogged if all the items in bags were just given to you, it puts then all into one unified, stackable item space.

2. It allows mobs to have a ton of drop variety without making their loot tables ridiculous.

Having lots of bags is a great thing. So what if you have to clear your inventory? It would be way worse if you didn’t have bags.

Warrior "tanky" build

I’m currently working on a tanky support warrior that still his like a truck. Focuses on might stacking using phalanx strength but uses commanders armor and weapons, which increases power precision toughness and boon duration. berserker spec had a trait that transfers a good amount of precision to ferocity, so you still hit like a truck, have more defense and really help out your team.

On aggro: it’s different for each mob and boss. Done are based on toughness, done are based on damage dealing, proximity, etc. Controlling aggro is not something to worry about. Learn the telegraphs for each one and similar enemies and stop running full zerker. It isn’t meta when someone has to stop attacking to res you.

Sinister gear

bosses melt in seconds, we’ve hit over 100 stacks of poison and torment and over 150 stacks of bleed

What are you using for the sigils and Runes? I was just trying to make this build last night for my girlfriend, and it seems good. Hard to tell when I can only practice alone on the PvP golems haha.

Not only are we getting the free content that Arena Net always adds, but we’re getting an elite specialization for every single class on top of a completely new class. GW1 expansions added 2 professions. We get whole new playstyles for every existing class and probably the new one, as well. The more I think of all we’re getting that they aren’t touting, the more I believe the expansion is definitely worth $50.

Disappointed with the registration for Beta.

By using the newsletter subscription as a method of choosing beta participants, the potential of sending invitations to people who aren’t even interested in actually testing the beta version instead of those who are eager to provide feedback is pretty big.

Beta testing sign up should be its own thing. Just because someone is an “active player and a loyal customer”, it doesn’t mean he will be (or even wants to be!) a good tester. The way you’re doing it seems like you’re not looking for feedback at all, just offering a “premium preview program”.

I’m not writing this just because I’m afraid me and other people who are eager to help you actually test the new features may be left out; I’m genuinely concerned about the quality of the feedback you will get in return. What happened with the method you used for EOTM? Why did you feel the need to choose beta-testers from a pool of players who may not even be interested in participating of a beta program?

This isn’t FOR feedback. It’s testing the actual stability. Yes players week experience the content that’s finished, but they aren’t providing feed back. It’s a technical beta.
