Fellow Guardians, I am just posting a vague idea to give the much maligned single-handed weapons a bit of a boost:
What do you think of about making more of the powers on one handers into fields/finishers for combos? Which do you think would be good candidates for these?

I have played GW2 since beta 1, more and more I see the GW2 manifesto getting more and more untrue.
Bosses dont respawn after 10min yeah right , please explain Queensdale champ runs, I would really like to know and why you diverted your own goals and plans to………..this.
You can see that they’re trying to hold true to the essence of this via the living story. I think they’re on the right track, and I like some of the routines they’ve put in for things going on in the world. i.e. Sometimes it’s the elementals near Cypress City in Orr, sometimes it’s the undead vet. I like the variety and it’s a huge step up from previous games. I look forward to games of the future which expand upon this to give us even more variety.

Guardian – Let us move while using No. 3 on sword. It’s always been a clunky skill that is just kind of weird. Thus for the same reason Arenanet changed Warriors’ Staggering blow, it sword #3 should be changed.
It needs a Quality of Life change! (Obviously, this would require animation alteration on the floating Asura version, which is the reason I think it’s not been done yet).

I suppose that crafting is the grind-play people asked for. Sadly, on top of the grind, they also have to go scrabbling around the internet for recipes, bills of materials – that’s the part I dislike.
Maybe the solution to all this mess is to improve the crafting interface – god knows it needs it.

“It’s a blobfest” -> now you gotta stop blobbing to escape the skill lag
I play in bronze so I rarely see skill lag because we rarely have large zerg v zerg. I’m just guessing the skill lag will ultimately split up the zergs.
Not saying skill lag is a good thing.
I think he means that this doesn’t solve the blob issue. Eu has had the worst skill lag for moths due to the fact they all have similar time zones for prime time and blobs still rule the meta.
Our server played #3 (Piken) a few weeks ago and #2 (Vizuna) last week. They both have zergs of such unbelievable size! They literally cram everybody on the map into one massive zerg, there are no singletons flipping guards or someone off on their own in a jumping puzzle or anything like that. It’s just one gigantic blob.
The trick to WvW is the speed of moving the blob around. And that’s it, really. Viz do it much more quickly than Piken.
The main problem with the blob is how quickly it gets around, the fact that the objectives are very close together, that the maps are too small for people who run with swiftness 24/7.

I don’t suppose it’s a real loss, it just means that WvW becomes a lot more casual.
The new map looks gigantic (which would be a truly great thing), or am I seeing it wrongly? Does this mean they’ve countered the problems they had with map-size limit they talked about previously?

Dynamic incentive for the two “losing” sides to gang up on whoever is leading at any one time (e.g. double reward for capping things which belong to that world). And/or making life more difficult when you are leading, examples: fewer guards, shorter timers on siege, disabled waypoints (this should vary depending on how much % you are leading by, so if you are leading by a little, life should be a little more difficult, when leading by a lot, life should be a lot more difficult – as you get reigned in, life becomes less difficult).
Balance between;
a. Slowing down the highly mobile megablobs – (for example, disable waypoints if you are leading) and,
b. Making it possible to get people to objectives in order to man siege before the door is gone.
Make objectives more interesting. Give the Lord some character (a name, perhaps with a random buff which that Lord always gives), perhaps change the models. Perhaps give each world a unique Keep skin (perhaps asking for a too many Anet resources), or give each of the three borderlands different terrain textures. Maybe give us keeps that get taller when upgraded. Maybe add unique things that each objective can do, for example, upgrade an aspect of a golem (could be anything; more DPS, longer shield/shield that works against carts, etc etc – to stop it being OP give it an “upgrade golem over time” element). Also, what happened to tier 3 doors?

Please tie up some loose ends. I know you have to have stuff going on all over the place, but I watch Wooden Potatoes, and there are more loose ends in Guild Wars than a bowl of spaghetti.
Tokens instead/as well as RNG.
Class fixes Weapons skills specifically need a balance pass.

Changing the final rewards won’t do it, you need a dynamic system which incentivises the two losing sides to attack whoever is leading at any given time.

As in?
Green server has to finish first to get a chest?
Blue has to finish second to get a chest, bonus chest if finishes 1st place
Red get a chest, but bonus if 2nd and another if fist?
See my post above yours, but yes, your ideas are great, too!

At this point should we all just be using Arrow Cart hacks? It’s a complete waste of time playing this game at this point otherwise. Given this has been a problem for months without any improvement or comment, is it safe to presume this is approved by ANet?
Laws are there to be skirted. You have to get as NEAR AS POSSIBLE to breaking the law without actually stepping over the line. That’s the rule of our society.

Why can’t you craft-to-sell? That’s what I don’t understand. I find this most peculiar in this market-driven game with it’s own dedicated economist and all. The only conclusion one can draw is that John Smith was uncertain of how the market would be affected and therefore recommended people only be able to craft for themselves, for now. I expect this to change in the future, if they remember to do it – though judging by our lack of;
legendary precursor scavenger hunt, and,
limiting the range of servers you could be matched up against in WvW
I expect they’ll conveniently forget to change it.

1. keep the nodes on the same locations. Still boring to harvest the stuff, but at least less annoying and time consuming. I want to do something else than “reexplore” Cursed Shore running through all the boring mobs who try to gnaw at my heels
No. On my server, we spice things up with a “mining run” every day. If the nodes were always in the same place it would be boring.
2. mark the nodes somehow on map so they look differently than mithril and cypres saplings
Yes. This is a good idea. All the icons should be slightly different to denote the tier, imo.
3. consider making some tough high level mining area guarded by vets or even champs where we can harvest the top stuff (only)
Thanks!
No way in hell.

There will be 2 teams fighting for top spot in silver. Whichever 2 of SoS/FA/Mag/SBI don’t make gold. It’s not like 9-15 are going to have any chance to overthrow 7 and 8. Silver league is actually worse than gold. 7 and 8 crush 9-15 just as much as 1-3 crush 4-6.
Yep, there needs to be more reward/incentive for the two crappier sides to join forces rather than #2 trying to batter #3 harder than #1 batters them.

Guardians don’t sacrifice as much to get a ton of damage, they don’t sacrifice heavy defense like Warriors have to, to get high DPS. They’re damage is build straight into their tanking tree. 0/0/30/0/0.
Congratulations, you get best troll award.
