They are the same tickets so they stack – confirmed several times by anet. This is true for all future tourneys as well (or anet tells us otherwise).

@dayra – no use telling other people they are wrong. That is THEIR definition of winning. May not align with yours, but that is ok. I don’t think yours is wrong either – just means something different to you.

Just the other day I was wondering if they’d put in a system like Rift’s Artifact collecting and yep, they did. I liked running around hunting for artifacts in that game and getting a bit of a reward for completing one.
One thing though, the harder/rarer to get/find parts of the collections were in big demand on the TP.
I was a sucker for the fun things like Scotty’s wand and the ones where the rewards was a mini…. Of course the coins that accumulated and could be used to buy unique things was nice too…
In the end, I hope this sort of works like that myself.

If you are having fun – you are winning…….
YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→most likely YB
I am not a completionist / ap hound. This is an ok addition that won’t turn the game into a job for me. I hope some of the collection rewards are simple fun things.
For example one artifact reward from rift is a wand that turns other players into sheep ( that they can cancel out of) . Since it is not usable in combat, a silly / fun thing. Hope to see things like this…..

Would have been better with keeping the current collection tab on the bank for the ones you like to use for awhile and then store NOT in a bank slot AND attached to character screen. Then you have choice of convenience or keeping with possible resale (and not consuming bank slot). I am thinking the more seasonal ones.
I’ll probably just use my personal guild bank for storage I guess….

T3 is the most balanced right now… pick any of CD/DB/SbI/YB….
Keep in mind one of those could be replacing mags putting you back where you were…. Dr and ioj in that mix too. Ioj has fewer, but are in those same match ups.
YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→most likely YB
What I don’t understand is why the T3 servers are tanking. Are the dumb and meaningless rewards really worth this farcical tankfest?
I’d understand tanking for the previous two seasons. 7-9 weeks of getting farmed is usually bad for servers.
However, this tournament is only 4 weeks long. We’ve had stale matchups for far longer than 4 weeks. And this is 4 weeks where the current T3 servers would get a shot at fighting servers they haven’t seen in a loooong time (if ever), without the pressure of having to worry about the PPT game. If I were a diehard WvW’er on a T3 server, I’d absolutely make the push for Gold, considering how short this tournament is.
Feel free to try and take IoJ up there. Quite frankly I think you’d have to be insane to want to be the 6th server in Gold even for 4 weeks. I don’t think you really understand how big the gap is. You may as well go PVE for a month.
The other fear is that you will be stuck for more than 4 weeks….. t3 may be facing t5 in the tourney at times, so winning those matches still may not make up the difference… It has taken mags awhile to drop and cd is trying to get there…..

There’s one silver lining in all this.
While this is less substantial then the first feature back, it’s also not gonna break anything this time and fix some of the issues of the last feature patch.
We’re still complaining about Mega-servers and trait changes now since those introduced such huge problems.
Correct – because it is the china port. They were the guinea pigs.
YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→most likely YB
Considering a way to use Miniature’s from anywhere on any character without taking up bag space has been one of the most asked for features practically since launc, I find it funny you listed it as ‘meh’.
Pretty sure people wanted an ‘equipment’ slot for minis. Once bored or for holidays – equip another. Once totally tired of the mini sell it. You do know you have to destroy the mini to put it in the slots off of the character screen right? No more rent or lease a mini unless you keep in bags (as you do now) or keep in normal bank slot (not collection).
It is more convenient for the account bound minis though….
YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→most likely YB
Get real – no new wvw maps, dungeons, weapon types, skills. or even basic fixes, but they have time and $$ for this? Isn’t going to happen….

Well I have to say that barring any unforeseen bad sides to this particular update, I’m liking it. Previewing finishers (not on youtube) is a plus. Having added minis and finishers in your wallet is a great idea. Also, I didn’t miss the tidbit about the fact that minis will stay with you regardless of whether you move maps, which I think is the one update that might make me want to start collecting minis. I never saw this as a thing before due to that one MAJOR flaw/inconvenience.
So, for the time being, I give this part of the patch a big thumbs up. I’m hoping there’s more though…. O-o
You realize that you destroy the mini to put in the wardrobe? Not a big deal for the account bound ones, but if you have a few that you like to use, but may want to sell eventually – takes up bank space…..
YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→most likely YB
To be fair – the unid dyes also had people getting hundreds or thousands put into their bank because duplicates were ‘refunded’. I had 900+ at one point…..
YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→YB→most likely YB
Betting same as weapons – you didn’t unlock skins you once had, but no longer had at the time of the switch. I also had all of series 1, but sold them once complete – I wouldn’t expect those to be unlocked. It wouldn’t really be fair to the ones who have to destroy them now tbh…..

To everyone saying this is what we wanted, no it isn’t. We wanted a non – inventory slot like a weapon / ring / necklace for the mini. When we tired of the mini we would swap and store or sell the old one.
Now you eat up both your character inventory (same as now) AND eat up bank inventory if you ever want to sell the mini… No QOL improvement for me there…..
I do like the finisher change though.
Nope, this is pretty much exactly what I wanted. But then as I said earlier I never sell any of my minis.
The only difference is I imagined it being a slot on the equipment panel that would bring up a list of all your minis when you clicked on it. This way the list is next to the slot on it’s own tab. But other than that it’s the same.
Of course any statement never applies to every single person – I should have stated most people wanted……

It’s always amazing to see just how much people are willing to rationalize to preserve their ego. A-net sure has it’s faults in this but I hope you guys realize you are part of the problem too… Be the change you want to see in the world is something too few apply apparently (not just aiming you btw).
Must be nice to be so judgmental.

zapHave fun on Magu…owait you jumped ship and changed servers!
Avoidance really is a habit of yours and not just when you decide to tank your score… Instead of facing the issue you chose to attack the poster (me), and on baseless ground at that. Can you even begin to argue your links relevance? Seriously?
BTW, I changed server because Mag would no longer even try to fight, not because we were loosing and were outnumbered all the time. If loosing or winning was so important to me I would not have endure so long and gone through the last 2 seasons knowing from start that we would never have any hope of winning. It was fun being in Mag. It really was. But at some point things have changed quite a bit in the community and I finally decided that if nobody would care I could still decide to put up with the kittenty attitude or be done with it.
I understand it is not fun to feel judged and that I do judge here, sorry, but it doesn’t change what I’ve said nor the value of it. I’m pretty tired of the mentality several of you uphold and the problem it causes in communities. Heck, I went away from Mag in part BECAUSE of the collateral of the tanking strategy. I didn’t wanted to go away from my friends and pay 1800 kittening gems to take a chance of finding a better community. It was just THAT bad for too long and these macro-manipulations as a “solution” to the real problem is a joke. You solve very little by adopting this strategy except postpone the inevitable at the cost of putting quite a lot of stress on the server’s community.
You are going to be kitten ed if you do or kitten ed if you don’t – some will leave if you tank and some will leave if you end up overmatched for an extended period of time. I think that most think the second choice is more damaging, but who really knows…..

Yeah Guild Dex is extremely out of date, A WvW focused guild list here would be 10x better.
Yeah? You guys think so? I guess you cant have too much information on the interwebs. Sure, whatever, I’ll keep this post up and see how it goes.
Problem is, you won’t know when guilds leave/disband/merge/move – it will be out of date quickly as well.. Good luck though

If you let every player pick their own team and they all picked what they thought would be the winning team, it would quickly destroy the sport.
RIP GvG
While I have no interest in GVG, I do feel for those that like that aspect. I guess anet does not want to support it in fear that even less players/guilds are active in wvw, but don’t they lose them anyway?
Back to the topic, a 1-12 / 13-24 setup may have been better. I don’t know how many really care about the rewards, but are more concerned being stuck as the whipping dog for 4 weeks… I suppose one could got eotm for wvw rewards :/

That’s the problem, no one below mags will fare very well either in t2… The matches in t3 and t4 were very fun until tourney was announced….. I doubt many would care if they got bumped up to t2 for a week, but 4 weeks….. A 1-12 13-24 tourney would seem to have been a better setup….

Outfits, achievement rewards [Zenith, Radiant, and Hellfire] & Hall of Monument rewards do not require charges. Everything else does.
AFTER using the 1 free use for blt skins ……. For example – buy chaos axe – use the skin once at no charge. After that, all other uses from wardrobe – 1 charge per use. This is also the armor skins from blt….

This is what happened to the tunnel farm?
I remember a group of us succeeding that event then running to the other end and succeeding in that event. Then we’d run to the other end, clean our bags, sell junk, post up on the trade post and then do it all over again.
That wasn’t fast enough?
Then again, is this where the QD Champ Train went to? If it is as toxic as it sounds, I’m willing to bet Gems that it is the remnants of the toxic element of the QD Champ Train.
Or they went to eotm which can get toxic too if you slow down the train…..

Where in the LS do yo have to do Fractals to finish it? The parts and pieces for the backpiece are rewards for the LS. You can complete the LS and build the exotic backpiece without ever stepping foot in the Fractals. The Fractal relics are only for creating the ascended version of the backpiece. If you arent doing fractals you dont need ascended items. The stat gain for the ascended vs. exotic back piece is almost nothing.
The stats for the exotic back piece are set in stone. Those for the ascended one are selectable.
Part 2 exotic is selectable.

I had more issues with level 1 myself. Both rage quits were level 1. If you find level 4-9, someone in the group has done them before, but not too much to expect others to know everything. Level 4-9 all welcome is even better.
I am done, but still think it was a bad experience overall with 2 rage quit groups and a hammer bug fail on fractal #3 of one set.

The key is options. In a game with such a diverse player base, due mostly to the vast amount of both casual and hardcore content, there should be different ways to get items required for new crafting recipes. Just as you can get materials from both salvaging and gathering. Just like you can make some mats you have professions leveled for and buy the others on the auction house. Being able to buy the mists stone by other means other than the incredibly niche fractals would be great.
Wait we have hardcore content?
Even if I’d be for multiple ways to get the Stone, it won’t happen. It CAN’T happen. ANet had a whole ton of kitten to explain otherwise. They never changed something like this, they never will and can’t anymore.
While you speak the truth (I did the 5 knowing I had no alternative), complain enough and the next “mawdrey” May have alternate paths of attainment or at least an alternate “mawdrey2” to attain that eats dust.

Maybe you’re stuck in a bubble with regards to this game as you’ve reached a comfort level – so I’ll let you in on a secret, as someone who would have to ‘pug’ group content – the Guild Wars 2 community is horrible by and large.
I pugged dungeons and fractals for the longest time, it is not as bad as you say. Just make an lfg that shows you are not going to speedrun and you will be left with other people that are either new or not interested in joining speedruns. The reason why lfg is filled with zerker runs is that those generally fill a lot slower than “all can join” parties.
On the general scope of things, if you insist on never doing a certain part of the game, expect to be locked out of certain rewards sometimes. These include scavenger hunts that incorporate different game modes. I’d think if you REALLY want it for some reason, that in itself justifies going out of your comfort zone for once.
It is as bad….. I did the 5. To get there wasted hours on 2 rage quit groups and a bugged hammer fractal. Really anet? Include a bugged fractal in the rotation for a group of people that really don’t want to be there.
To be fair, 2 of the groups were very friendly, but that still did nothing to " makeup " for the 3 horrid experiences. I also don’t care for JPs, but I either got ports or slogged my way through at my own pace – I was ok with that as that was within my control.
