This is the most annoying change to Warrior in 2 years, I bet it was NOT TESTED in WvW, where I have not enough time to hit the Lord with Burst skill even if the gate is literally at some steps (2 sec) of the Lord. I don’t like this, it looks UNTESTED, because if you play a Warrior for ten minutes you will notice this annoyance. The adrenaline must stay for at least 10 seconds at full after combat, minimum.
After patch I need to click to login everytime, before it was all automatic. Yes, I have the auto start selected.

Never played this system because my characters are old, but my idea is to unlock something like “trait points”, so you can use that points in the traits you want, similar to skill points, but you dont get by leveling but doing activities on the game.
I think this problem is worse and worse everyday, specially now with megaservers, so the only relevant to transfer is WvW, plus the feature pack is making guilds global, even worse. I think ArenaNet should make something, like a queued transfer, if not will be impossible to transfer to top WvW servers.

For people with the points to max everything, a reset has not too much sense, no? I mean, maybe the reset should ignore (not reset) that players.
That last update (believe it or not) actually fixed it for me.
I think this is just because all instances was reset on the update. But when a new map instance is created you could get the problem again. I cannot confirm this, not tested enough after update.
Just in case, I am playing WvW only until I see no one is reporting this anymore. I don’t want my main stuck, so I fear to travel to the next living story step.

If this is the case, why I can play without a single problem on all my characters, in the exact same time in which a single char is “imprisoned” on a random map?
Because this specific IP (the server the map is hosted on) is throttled by your ISP.
The player ISP is not always the responsible of a connection failure, the connection has multiple redirections in the “way”. Could be also the ISP of the servers GW2 use, or something in the way.

This issue is happening to all games under the NCSoft logo (Aion, WildStar, GW2, Lineage)
This issue didn’t start until around July the 28th
This issue is happening to people in many different Regions (Australia, Canada, Latin America, United States, Europe)
Using a VPN or other rerouting program fixes the issue, but nothing else works
Interesting, I don’t play Aion, but indeed, they have the problem too, it’s actually the exact same problem:
I was thinking how useful could be to have a favorite star I can select/deselect on every contact in friend list. My list is too long and I need a way to differentiate players there. This could be added to guild players list too.
So, in how much time after combat the adrenaline will start to decay? one example:
If a Warrior is hitting the gate in Durios (WvW), and the gate breaks having full adrenaline, will he still have the full adrenaline after moving to top where the lord is?
At this exact moment I can’t enter BG/TC Borderlands with any of my characters. But I can play normally on Eternal Battlegrounds and JQ Borderlands. Actually I just played 2 hours in EB, and I am in JQBL at the moment.
Happening at this moment to all my characters in “Heart of the Mists”.
BTW, this looks like a routing problem, NOT related in anyway to the player. Did you (ArenaNet) changed something in your network configuration recently? related to DNS maybe?
Could be also server side (as I said in previous post) because everytime this happens to me is in a popular map, the maps that probably have multiple instances (megaserver), this of course could be just a coincidence.
(edited by NeHoMaR.9812)
I confirm this. Played normally 5 hours WvW with my Warrior, moved to PvE (Queensdale map) and now I can’t play the Warrior. All my other characters can be played normally.
Hi. I think this problem is server side, started august 2nd. It’s impossible to load some maps (instances), making a character unplayable, when you can play other characters normally.
I played +5 hours in WvW (august 2nd/3rd), constantly moving maps, no problem until I moved to PvE, now that same character can’t login on Queensdale, impossible to play with it.
I agree about food should be revised. I never use food by the way. The most important in this game is the skill, your skill. I don’t fear any conditions build, actually I fear more the skilled berserkers (direct damage fast killers)
I wonder how the weapon/armor will work when loading a template. You auto equip a weapon/armor in your inventory? or in the bank? to fully change a build/weapons/armor in WvW you will need to have up to 16 inventory slots of equipment used? etc, etc. PvP looks easy because only change weapons, the rest is virtual, not real gear.
(edited by NeHoMaR.9812)
If you make the weapon cheap, everybody will have it, making it common, not special.
It does a lot of damage but makes you a massive target with removable stability, and decreases your movement speed. On top of this, it has a massive cooldown, so if you get burned down or forced out of Lich Form because you have no Vigor, evasion skills, or a heal, it’s a waste of an elite that could be saved for an AoE knockdown on a 1m cooldown, or a massive survivability boost that Plague provides (which Necros need desperately if they’re going to survive teamfights long enough to be useful).
The only thing I might consider tweaking is lowering the power increase WHILE increasing the base damage of the attack to keep the damage the same, to lessen the damage of Sigils of Fire/Air while in Lich Form.
As you can read in my first post, I say “at least in sPvP”, and necros don’t need the Plague survivability there, maybe the Golem, but none of that is better than an elite than save you of almost all 1vs1, as necro you use all you have in a fight, if you still think the enemy will kill you, voila! you use the lich form and spam skill 1 to eat your opponent with extreme dps. Actually, this is bad for necros, people are starting to hate this, and thinking the “not so skilled players” exploit this.
One of that threads should be mine, because I remember suggesting this too. All that tag (red) names everywhere and you have no idea who is dead or alive (in WvW).
Finally! Was this hard to implement in some way? why so long time to do this?
Regardless, it is not a bug. More of a suggestion on your part.
Big part is suggestion, ok, but still the upgrade is there, 2000 gems, for an already deluxe account. That indeed is confusing, and looks like a bug, and a fix helps everybody, the player and arenanet.
They either get a message that it can not be purchased, or get a refund of the Gems spent. You can read about it over in Account Issues, if you so desire.
Interesting. But why not make it not buyable by already deluxe accounts? for example, I got the cow finisher, and I cannot buy more, it detects I already have it, the buy button is removed and show a message about it; The BLTC should do that with deluxe upgrade too, that’s why it looks like a bug.
Also, it says you also get heroic edition items, but that’s a new account type, I don’t received that items with my deluxe edition, and there is no way to get it for my already deluxe account.
IMO, they should send the heroic items to all original deluxe accounts (that is a more expensive account than heroic), and make that upgrade not buyable in the BLTC (for already deluxe accouts)
(edited by NeHoMaR.9812)
Every time I open BLTC, in the upgrade section, I ask to myself, why there are a Digital Deluxe upgrade there if my account is already Digital Deluxe? is that a bug?
I got my Digital Deluxe 2 years ago on website. I wonder what happens if someone buy that upgrade already having it.
It’s Lich Form damage of skill 1 intended or bug? because in my opinion it’s game breaking, at least in sPvP. I mean, the player just spam skill 1 for extreme dps, with perma stability, power tripled, precision and vitality doubled, for 30 seconds, seriously? Don’t misunderstand me, I love necromancer, it’s my 2nd main. I think Lich Form needs to be revised. Thanks.

I use the ESC (Escape) key a LOT in combat in WvW/PvP, to cancel actions/skills. In the +2 years I have playing, I noticed the ESC key can be affected by lag (I suppose it send to server and back to client, like a skill), in WvW sometimes ESC key fails (does not cancel anything) and I need to hit it again for the cancel to work, sometimes more (spam the key), the problem with this is hitting the key too many times will show the game menu (log out, exit to desktop, etc), and I could click and log out/exit the game by mistake, plus the menu is in the middle on the screen and is not movable, sometimes I am forced to finish a fight with the menu on (to prevent a skill cancel by mistake). Could you maybe do something to fix this?
This is getting fixed soon™. It does look like this was reported before, but unfortunately due to large amount of high quality posts it can be easy to miss a thread or two. So thanks for reporting this!
I reported this many days ago using the in game bug report. Two game updates already after that report and bug is still there, actually I wonder if the in game bug report works at all? never fixed something I reported there since betas, until someone post the same bug in forums.
(edited by NeHoMaR.9812)
Well its seems the solution is to just make certain armors salvageable now. There is no need to bring back the old mechanic for such a minor issue
Or make Upgrade Extrator CHEAP, and able to extract everything of every armor/weapon in the game, whatever the method you used to get it.
…… you CAN’T use it with equipment from WvW vendors.
Only if you want a rune from your old armor you need to destroy it, however you have at least the chance to get also ectos and dark matter that way, before it was always destroyed and you only got the rune.
Are you reading the posts at all? you can’t salvage some equipment, plus now is a lot more expensive and time consuming to change stats of equipment.
2 examples:
- You get an exotic greatsword in WvW vendor, and upgrade it with 2 sigils, then make an ascended version of the same stats. You was able to merge them with Trans.Crystal for 40 gems; Now you must buy the 2 sigils again or buy an Upgrade Extrator of 250 gems each (I am not even sure if you can use it in not salvageable items). You can’t salvage the sigils of that weapon with salvage kit (not even sure if you can get both sigils with this method anyway)
- You have an ascended greatsword with 2 sigils plus the infusion, you change your mind about main stats, craft a new greatsword with different stats. You was able to merge them with Trans.Crystal for 40 gems; Now you must buy the 2 sigils again (plus the infusion) or buy an Upgrade Extrator of 250 gems each that almost always cost more that the sigils and infusion. Notice I am NOT talking about skins at all.
Summary: You was able to change the stats of you weapon with 40 gems, now you need to spend 250 gems, or buy the sigils and infusion again, both options are a LOT more expensive (and time consuming because not all upgrades are easy to get in TP) than before.
(edited by NeHoMaR.9812)
I know about the salvage kit, I have 2 years playing the game. And also know you CAN’T use it with equipment from WvW vendors. So, this is NOT the answer, thanks anyway. Also, a 2hand weapons have THREE upgrades, 2 sigils and an infusion.
Before April 15th I was able to use a Transmutation Crystal (40 gems each I think) to merge whatever level 80 items I want. Like for example, an ascended weapon keeping all upgrades (some got with laurels).
Now we have “transmutation charges” that only work with skins, and not with stats and upgrades. We have also the Upgrade Extractor that cost 250 gems, that is EXTREMELY expensive, I think it should cost like 40 gems (5 for 200 gems, like trans. crystals)
(edited by NeHoMaR.9812)
The wardrobe is good, all right, but I still need a way to merge two armors/weapons into one, to change stats and keep the rest. How I do that now?
EDIT, extended opinion I posted below:

Anet, of course, did not make a detailed note on the tracks. Hot join lets you get up to two tracks where arenas are as much as you care.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Reward-track-progress-cap/first#post3909810
Thanks, but because this is not in patch notes, afaik, it was like a bug for me.
The reward progress bar is not moving when I finish a match, tried many maps. It was moving normally until 30% or something, now is stuck.
Is this a bug? or I am missing something? like a daily limit?
The commander feature is basically a blue icon in head/map, with chat command to see supply, that every player can buy with 100g. Of course this need to change.
One of the easiest changes is just overwrite that blue icon with a color not similar to one of the 3 teams (towers icons) on WvW, like yellow or orange. Also, make a new one (different icon) that needs a WvW achievement (plus lot of badges) to get it.
Why not just allow ALL possible combos? (of three, one major, two minor)
You could implement something like “gems” to insert on equipment. Example: 1 major Vitality gem, 1 minor Power gem, and 1 minor Condition Damage gem.
Also, why some existing combos are missing on PvP?, like Knight, Dire, etc.
About combos I want, well, I remember a conflict I had between Carrion and Rabid, both gives major Condition Damage, but if you also want Power, you are forced to have Vitality, when Toughness is more effective, so if you use the one with Toughness, you get Precision and not Power; Solution? Condition Damage, Power, Toughness.
In the new map of EotM, whatever the size of the zergs, even 3 way, I never experiment lag (skill lag). But when I move to normal maps, the lag is serious (unplayable sometimes) when 3 full zergs are fighting, or moderate (noticeable and annoying) lag when fighting 2 full zergs (even if I am not in the fight). Does the new map use a different technology?
I am completely sure the skill lag is global because many people complaint at the same time I feel the lag, but I think not all experiment the lag in the same way, and it depends of latency (ping) of the player. I have like from 100ms to 300ms, so I notice it more, and could make the game unplayable on big lag. To feel the serious lag, I think you need to test outside of United States, preferably, with a bad connection.

In Team Fortress 2, portals created by players has the name of the player on them, plus the entrance and exit word on them too. You can easily know what portal to get or not.
This applied to GW2, will add a perfect usability to portals, because you are not going to enter the wrong portal anymore.

I should be the only one that play PvP for fun. The only I care is about rank, you know, it’s like leveling something. Of course, if the game reward me with other things, it’s ok, but with a limit to prevent PvE farmers.
All my level 80s are on The Mist (PvP), the first login was on PvP area. Then I logged with a level 20 on PvE and got the mail, but not cutscene (expected because of level), so I moved one level 80 to PvE, no cutscene at all.
What am I supposed to do with 4250 Blade Shards?
What am I supposed to do with +10,000 Pile of Bloodstone Dusts?
Am I the only one not hearing the PvP announcer after update? (you know, on PvP arenas: You captured the quarry! etc.)
EDIT: I notice this happens only when selecting Spanish as audio language, this bug was introduced after update. Because the game has no spanish audio, it just “overwrite” with english voices, but not anymore after this update. Even the music is affected.
If anyone want to test, set audio language to spanish, restart the game, and spectate a spvp match.

I died instantly in the place of the screenshot. I was just walking normally, the chat log (in spanish sorry) shows no damage, armor was not damaged. The dead was instantaneous (similar to falling dead), less than a second, I was full HP.
I died one time for this reason. This is an exploit (not intended way to get the achievement), plus they are preventing people to play the game normally.
I play sPvP and WvW a lot, and this is my opinion about what I think is overpowered today, and most of the overpower is because of targeting problems:
- Mesmers has too many ways to make clones, some players just base the build on that and kill others by just spamming clones, dodging for even more clones, no need to have real skill versus bad or slow (targeting) players. Targeting is a nightmare in this cases and you could lose a fight versus people less experienced that you, I hate that because is unfair; Retargeting a player every 2 seconds seriously compromise the fight. It’s important to note the mesmer can also stealth a lot, if clones spam is not enough.
- Thieves can enter stealth too many times and keep on stealth for too long time, plus they could return from stealth full healed and without conditions, if you add the +1 sec lag on WvW, this make stealth clearly overpowered. Some players base the build completely on that, just to use a “lammer way” and annoy people that can’t do anything about, and if they can, the thief just escape, if the thief is good enough there is absolutely no way kill it in WvW. Targeting could be obviously a big problem in this situations, because you need to retarget every single time the thief reappears on the screen, and could be a lot of times in a long fight, and if thief think he is going to lose, escape, this is even worst if you are in the middle of WvW chaos. If there are two or more thieves coordinating stealth, there is nothing to do but die, even being really good, because they can revive others on stealth, 100% overpowered. At the other hand, I think thieves are ok on sPvP because stealth is not so effective there, and stealth is the only overpower the thief has, everything but that is ok.
- Engineers are in my opinion ridiculously overpowered, this is very easy to confirm by going to sPvP and playing some matches. 99% of engineers use the same build that consist in annoying other players with ridiculous amount of turrets, immobilize, conditions (grenades), launch, plus an amazing spammable healing. They don’t even use the dodge functionally of the game. Tip: if you see a player not using dodging, this for me is a clear proof of a new player that still don’t use it, or someone with so overpowered build that don’t need it to win.
- The other professions (classes) I think they are ok. Maybe the Necromancer applies too many conditions, but that is acceptable.
- The only I think is underpowered is maybe the Elementalist, there is no way an elementalist can win me in sPvP or WvW, it’s a sure win for me. But they for sure are overpowered in healing, if they make a build based on that. Rangers are also a sure win, unless they are very good and/or use the spirits build, that in my opinion is a lammer build.

Not a problem, I can play normally, but after the most resent updates I can see the crash window every single time I exit the game, the window stay for 1 second and disappears.
The real solution is ArenaNet making the UI leave the daily alone when I manually select whatever I want, not to overwrite it.
It’s a beautiful update, BUT, I am still not able to track achievements because if I do, the Daily disappears of the screen, and I don’t like that. I want BOTH daily and manually tracked on my screen.
Well the way it’s always worked is fine. You have the option of turning on ones you want to follow and if you don’t, then daily is the default.
My recommendation is view the Dailies you want (those are achievements technically) AND track the ones you want as normal.
At least that is what I do.
You mean managing the achievement track every single day?
I mean to select the PvP rank achievement (for example) and keep it there forever (you need a lot of time to complete it), plus still being able to see the daily/monthly that automatically appear on the screen.
My problem is the daily/monthly table (that I love) DISAPPEAR of the screen if I select one single achievement to track.

Hmm! I will see if “blind” is causing this, but I notice this more versus thieves, so that’s why I ask here. Example, if I play warrior, and I am downed, I use skill 2 to prevent the finish with a knockdown, 90% of times I miss it in someone without stability is a thief. It’s obvious this skill normally doesn’t work versus a guardian that has stability 24/7, but a thief never have stability. Maybe in the excitement of battle I don’t notice the blind.
I think I need to play a thief for some hours myself (need to do this with mesmer too) to learn more about how to counter.
EDIT: I was observing a thief in PvP, and he used Black Powder every single time he downed a player. All classes can blind, but only the thief can spam it without recharge time, I see.
(edited by NeHoMaR.9812)
I don’t play Thief, but I sometimes notice a Thief (on PvP) can completely ignore a knockdown without Stability on, is that a trait? I have seen a Thief ignoring Fear too, completely.
I just don’t want to review all Thief skills and traits to discover this.
