Has botting been curbed yet?

The bear brigade of ranger bots are gone for the most part.

Right now, I think the only ones we worry about are those that gather nodes and disappear or travel under terrain.

The situation is A LOT better, but not perfect.

Thiefs go stealth every second

If you see a dead person in WvW and PvP that has not used a WP, watch their health.

If it rises, swing directly over they body or spam 1 over the body.

I don’t mind perma-stealth, but I would like thieves to be unstealthed when they take damage.

People were complaining that the patch was taking too long to come out on the 28th because the team doesn’t care about global players

corrupted shortbow why?

Vorch.2985

The Corrupted Longbow = Old Corrupted Shortbow look. They kitten the Shortbow look and its not fair for the people who wasted 40-50 gold for it.

I agree.

Even if you prefer the new shortbow skin to the old, they should have simply added another corrupted shortbow skin.

It’s not fair to people who bought one item and now have something else.

It’s not about being too manly or too serious, it’s the simple fact that it does not fit in GW2.

I would unequivocally say that Ascended Gear is the LAST tier ever.

I would then begin to roll out:

  • Minigames in major cities promised for PvE.
  • Increase PvP team by 12 people. Add GvG, Capture the flag 2 months later, and HA by the end of summer.
  • Roll out laurels earnable in WvW (1 every 50 kills, 1 every 50 badges). Add another map that changes every 4 rounds.
  • Release guild housing before the beginning of summer and player housing by the end of the summer.
  • Create a player driven “Top Bug List” for each profession and fix the top 5 every month. Continue bug squashing.

I do agree with you there.

To be clear, I do love the variety they gave to dailies. However, they could have had more people in zones simply by adding “in area X” to the end of each requirement, or AT LEAST a few of them:

  • Gather 20 materials in Kessex Hills
  • Kill 13 types of enemies in Iron Marches
  • Do 5 Events in Sparkflyfen

A good update to dailies, but I was expecting a reason to go to specific zones. Hopefully they take that to heart.

Combo Killer

I finished it.

  • the combo used to kill something MUST BE A DAMAGING COMBO (Fire field will work…blind field will not)

I do like having cooperation between people require, though. However, I would like to make this suggestion. Either:

  • Reduce the number of combo kills required by half, OR
  • Have any damaging combo with an ally count towards a large total (say 50)
  • It is MUCH easier to be the one laying the combo fields for this achievement. Consider that

Otherwise, good update. that was just a tad frustrating, tho.

Hear me now… not being able to respawn while someone else is in combat in a dungeon will hurt BAD… it seems like a good solution to curb farming at this time, but honestly, this will hurt so many players it’ll be awful… imagine you died and can’t respawn because some noob is running around somewhere… it will make it harder for 99% of people actually playing dungeons because the 1% farm CoF… and oh yea guess what, it still doesn’t solve farming cause nobody ever dies farming cof p1

The “noob” would either

  • A) Die, getting out of combat and allowing you to respawn, or
  • B) Run away, removing himself from combat.

The only way I could see this particular update backfiring is if someone glitches somehow and is in combat, can not be killed, and can not move away to remove himself from combat.

Make no mistake; the next few weeks will be a bit tougher. However, we will simply emphasize a bit more organization, more pulling, and greater priority for people downed.
