Except that vanilla WvW had its fair share of condi builds and blobbing too.
Engineer, mesmer and thief all had strong condi builds for roaming.

Nowadays all I see while roaming are power builds.
Compared with vanilla the amount of condi builds I meet has actually decreased.

I hope thass a joke…

What specifically?
Blobbing? As if we didn’t have threads complaining about blobbing since years.
Condi builds? Threads complaining about condi mesmers and thieves are also nothing new.
More power than condi? This just my experience which might be biased due to me not playing that much in the last months or I’m just lucky to get only power builds as enemies.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

You mean like this:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

“On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013”

And as they said at the end:
“As always, the content above is subject to change as we test and iterate on these systems.”

Except that vanilla WvW had its fair share of condi builds and blobbing too.

Instead of buffing everything else and thereby introducing even more powercreep to the game I would rather see nerfs to currently overperforming skills/traits/weapons.
Obviously along with nerfs to other classes.

Anyway in my opinion the biggest discrepancy is between our weaponsets.
Compared with d/p nowadays x/d builds have an even harder time gaining stealth with all those blocks flying around. Adding the high damage and the nice gap closer/blind through shadow shot there is little reason to use another weapon for a stealth based build.
Making it harder for d/p to gain stealth or making it easier for x/d would increase diversity the most imo.

Has anyone actually bothered to run a traceroute to confirm that the problem is on Anet’s side?

If I’m not mistaken Anet basically said no to locking access to content behind winning matches. Even in GW1 they changed Favor of the Gods from territory based to globally based.

In my opinion this would be a bad idea.
The incentive to play WvW should be in WvW itself and not in other content.
And as lil devils x said this would also increase imbalances between server populations.

The effects of this trait have been added to all staff-skill area attacks by default with the patch from June 23, 2015.

Cause is LavasoftTcpService64.dll.

Characters in PvP use the same armor and weapons from PvE and WvW.
All items give zero attribute, rune, sigil, or infusion bonuses in PvP. Chest, leg, and boot armor still contribute to the total defense value.
All items function as level 80 exotic-quality items.

We’re aware of the issue and a bug has been written. No ETA at this time

We also really appreciate you all reporting these, it really helps us identify these things quickly.

What is more likely?
That there is an hacker in almost every single match that uses this method or that the problem is on your side?

Anyway you took that excerpt from the wiki of the game Combat Arms.
A google search suggests that there is nothing like that for gw2.

Djahlat.9610:

Channel skills like Rapid Fire don’t track strealthed enemies, it’s been changed well over 2 years ago

No.
If the skill is started while the thief is still visible then the attack will track him into stealth.

Have you enabled Autoloot: Autopickup and Autoloot: Quick Interact in the options?

Tyler Bearce.3427:

The Tier 1 Weapons will be made available in an upcoming Reward Track, much like the armor already is.

We haven’t fully decided how to distribute the T2 Weapons and Armor yet. Though, we are currently leaning towards players purchasing them with a currency that they’d earn as a match reward. We may also set rank requirements for the various pieces, so you’d need to be a relatively high rank(1-2k) to purchase a full set.

At the moment we still have the quarterly rotation of the BLs.
Since we got the ABLs with the patch from May 3th one can expect the DBLs with an patch on August 2nd.
But since we will get another poll about rotating the BLs after this one this is just speculation.

No

Smothering Shadows will spawn after each quarter of the ring is lit – each time you light a quarter, it will spawn a single Smothering Shadow.
You can kill Smothering Shadows by being lit by divine fire and attacking them – killing them, however, will remove the buff forcing you to get it again before you can light the next portion of the ring.
The best way to counter that is to remain standing in the ring Rox creates and range the Smothering Shadows down as you will be immediately re-buffed.

Last response regarding templates was in the AMA two months ago.

Q: “I am also interested in knowing if you are planning to add build templates”
A: “Starting with this release, the WvW team is switching over to live development, shipping frequently, beta-testing on the live servers, and asking the community to prioritize development. The WvW team will be at the forefront of this. If it goes well for WvW, we’ll consider it for PvP too. I bring this up because development of build templates would happen on one of those two teams. So I expect that you, collectively, will be in control of when that becomes a priority.”

The results doesn’t show which of the two simultaneous options is which.
Can that be changed?

No

There shouldn’t be any patch.
The client is the same whether you have the expansion or only core.

You need to unlock every other traitline before you can put points into reaper.

This is a visual anomaly.
The Mastery Points for Personal Story are awarded on a per-chapter basis.
Assuming you did the first chapter on any race before then you got that mastery point already.

With jumping puzzle do you mean the path leading up to the top of the waterfall?

No.
Which items exactly do no longer apply?
Anyway
“If you want to remain on the 32-bit client, you may add -32 to the command line used to launch the game client. Please refer to the wiki for instructions on how to modify your command line.”
Isn’t that what you wanted to know?

bobsort.4097:

My system is 64bit but I want to disable new 64bit client that you are so proud of it, how can I do that?

Look in the faq

bobsort.4097:

- Why your forum shows two edit boxes when I want to edit my post and why when I press edit, again I get a message that says message body cannot be blank, while I just edited it and add more details?

Your screenshot shows only one edit box.
The lower box is for posting a new reply as it is said on the buttons.

Could you post your crash log?

Johan Skold.4708:

Yes, you can add -32 to the command line as you’re launching the 32-bit client to force it to remain on the 32-bit client.

Itzel poison lore is not necessary for the story.
They removed that requirement sometime after release.

DeanBB.4268:

So what good are the WXP Boosters now if there is no XP to Boost?

The boosters are for WXP as the name says and not for the removed EXP.

Or buy it with gold.

Baldrick.8967:

Three way fight in Deserted BL last night during prime, laggy for a little bit- enough to cause many deaths as any lag kills my ele and it’s fields.

It’s server side. I play on a 200mb+ connection on a brand new gaming beast of a machine with settings turned right down, and still get issues in 3 way fights wherever they are if numbers are high enough.

With settings turned up high, the game crashes and i get to send another error message.

Sounds like oom crashes. Are you using the 64bit client?

The QoL improvements seem rather pointless to me except for the cross-map chat.
I’m too for prioritizing the scoring improvements.

Ayrilana.1396:

They’re working on it but WvW will be first to get it.

Edit: Tried to find a link to the source where I read it but couldn’t. Perhaps someone else remembers seeing it?

It was in the recent AMA.

You’re running out of memory. Your 32 bit OS can’t handle GW2 + anything else you have open. If you are able to upgrade to 64 bit OS, you’ll still have crashes, just less often. If you get 64 bit OS + 64 bit game client for Gw2, most if not all of the memory crashes will stop.

So where do I find the log? Cause I am getting the BSOD every 5 min’s into the game.

More players doing dungeons due to increased rewards maybe.

chronometria.3708:

I don’t think he is being sarcastic – I mean, those maps really are so terrible that they are being outright removed. Considering all the work that went into them, they have to be provably super awful for anet to put them in the trash.

He is, in this case, spot on in his assessment that nobody likes them….and if anybody does, you wont be able to like them for much longer as they are about to be gone.

The desert borderlands aren’t going to be removed.
As it stands now they will rotate the borderlands once each quarter.

Got fixed with todays update.
“•Fixed a bug in which siege weapons that applied condition damage were scaling based on the player’s condition damage.”
