why not go full karma.
everything you do in GW2 should award karma. there is no better incentive to play the game than rewards for – you know – actually playing the game…
ofc that does imply everything/almost everything you can buy in GW2 should be available through karma.
the karma valuve to be somewhere near the ratio one gets for DEs (XXXkarma XXXs >> YYYkarma = 1s)

I hate to say it…but it’s either latency or you’re genuinely not that great at the puzzle. Just practice more. And/or try again when EBG isn’t that full.

it’s a bug. seems like nobody reads the bug/game discussion forums after a new patch… :|

this patch might be one of the worst ever :|
great, not only is TF2 broken due to constant crashing, GW2 ist in various important areas aswell (JP alot and currently play ele most of the time… YAy)
BUT JP are still possible after one adjusted to the bug, did all LA, both in Dredgehaunt and some other.

Did the patch break jumping?

and I thought I all of a sudden lost my JP-skill (or the keyboard battery is empty again…)
well after some problems to begin with all the daily JP farms worked.

GW2 Endgame - Level 80 Now What?

what sort of “endgame” does wow feature? mostly carrots on a stick & similar kitten!
run max. level dungeons til you have the right gear score, then run LFR/raid till you have the right gearscore to advance & so on…
pvp is the same maps over and over till you received enough marks for all the top pvp-gear – which then might give you an equal chance somewhat based on player skill. great. sitting around in SW, waiting.Yay great content…
the point where GW2 misses out – it offers more complete controls/movement but not enough.
I’ve played various competition FPS for literally thousands of hours – even without shiny numbers to rush after which might give me a advantage over a more skilled players just because…well dunno, some game dev thought that’s a good example of gameplay.
the reward should be getting better and seeing the results, t/spvp is a good step but otherswise GW2 falls short (wvw esp.). it’s just a shame they didn’t have the balls to follow through.
GAME =/= WORK
it should always be like with other hobbies, get better at the thing you enjoy doing. fun via skill progress.

at least some sort of positive news.
so what’s the compensation for all the time being -to a certain degree – debuffed/not getting the extra loot/gatherings…

Frustration with the one-time events

on a side note, being killed by hordes of invisible enemies, thought that was a WvW feature… quite some rep costs, little gain – overall an hour spent very well… NOT :|

never changed server, still never received those boni…
not only does this need to be fixed but those being affeced should receive some sort of ingame compensation as they lost gold, time, etc.

impressive minds at work.
if it is that hard for some to see the difference between EU players adjusting their playtime (or just plain and simple different work hours) and importing several hundred players from a timezone that benefits from 95% of the aforementioned EU players sleeping, there is no real point for further discussion.
some just plain & simple lack the mental capacity or chose to ignore that difference as the results pamper their ego.
moreover ANet definately did not plan for large numbers to migrate into benefitting timezones, the reason free transfers were granted has little to nothing to do with wvw.

I love the run&gun-warrior, esp. as rangers put me off thx to those annoying pets.
I have a blast in PVE running this
http://www.intothemists.com/calc/?build=Vt70F7BFOKFM0o-RL-60;9;4JJJ-942-06-07;22N
my focus atm is more on the bonus given by a full adrenaline bar (but I’m about to try your way )
I dont really like the 20p choice in strenght but the rest seems worse.
as of now (level 73) I’m not sure if “balanced stance” triggered is worth 20p in defense.
depending on the situation (solo champs or in dungeons) I love picking “throw bolas” and “kick” as slot skills – a lot of players underestimate those utility skills.

impressive skills shown by naps ganging up on players j-puzzling.
kind of fits the overall mind-boggling simple mindedness of quite some wvw-payers debating on these forums (deso-involved nonsense, absurd responses to nighcapping and so on…)

well thought out model, devs should take a close look.
