The last update ruined the color scheme on T3 light anyway..
I had no changes…? My colors are the same like 2 Months ago.
The last update completely ruined savant armor for females, one of the problems is
that the shoulders are now part of the chest (not sure if this is the case with male armor too). So if you apply colors to the chest, you apply colors to your shoulders also.
This ruines the color scheme.
I wanted the color scheme you see below, brown shoulders so they match the brown straps on my chest, and still be able to give the collar, arm and other parts of the chest appropriate colors. The last update made that impossible and I can’t even hide the kitten things.
1) as stated above, the shoulders being part of the chest. 2) the shoulders have horrible clipping issues. 3) the ear flaps are redicilously large.

Hope its gone forever. Asian themed expansions are the worst. Nothing but ugly buildings and tons of really bad voice acting to match the budget martial arts movie feeling of the entire thing.
So in other words: ‘I don’t like it so no one should have it’

There’s plenty of reasons. Here are some examples:
- They always pop in high numbers that run around a lot and will give no drops, like those summoned by suits. This makes difficult focusing on a target, as there are always getting in the way of projectiles and ganging up on any melee that stops to use a strong skill that locks them in place.
- They spam survivability boons, but most PUGs won’t go first for the ones that apply boons, making fights unnecessarily longer. This is a thing that is ok to have in enemies and its player fault not going for them first, but decent players unable to convince bad players that these guys are priority target get eventually fed up and avoid the dungeon altogether.
- Freaking dredge bombers spam high AoE damage with almost no time between the circle and the hit, so you can’t dodge just by walking away, only by dodging. But you can’t dodge them all the time, yet they can spam all the time.
- They have CC skills with no warning animations, hard to see animations or animations that happen after the CC is done.
- Their skills have annoying screeching sound effects.
- Their flinching sounds are annoying too. They sound like someone having a hard time on the toilet.
Don’t take the problems you have with the dredge fractal and apply it to SE, its makes you look like you have no idea what your talking about.
The OP asked why se isn’t popular, your saying dredge boons and bombers. Well se p1 is inquest, there is zero dredge you have to kill in this. A group of 5 guards could do almost this entire path with just reflect. If the final boss dropped 10s and the tokens could be used for ecto’s then this would be the new COF p1 farm. 2 guards, 2 zerkers and a mes could smash this path in 5-6 minutes.
Now for p3, this can EASLY be solo’d with most classes in 30-45 minutes if you choose to afk the first, third and last boss. With a group of experienced members it should only take 10 minutes at the most to go threw this path, you kill a total of 5 dredge while your doing it. You can skip the first 3 by just doing 1 piece of wall, you can skip the 3 bombers by running up a pipe on the right so you end up only having to kill the first boss and 2 adds, which can be seperated. Then you kill the second boss alone, and the third boss is dredge, the final boss is a destroyer so for you to say theres to manly dredges you can do 2 paths of SE and only kill 5 dredges.
As for the bombers, GS 5 and Wall of Reflection from a guard makes the entire team take zero damage from these if you do choose to kill the 3 at the start of path 3. Even in the worst pug groups full of rangers and necro’s i’ve never had a problem killing dredge bombers.
So to answer the OP, one of the main problems is people like this guy who don’t even know the paths they just think se is hard because they can’t manage to do the dredge fractal because LOS (line of sight) is to complicated for them to understand.
Also for the OP, whenever i start a post on gw2lfg for SE p1/3 speed runs the group fills up in seconds. Its the second fastest next to cof.
tl;dr
I hate dredge everywhere. Whether it’s in Fractals, SE or just in the open world. They are one of the most annoying mobs to fight, second only to the Risen. (IMO)

That’s what many others did in the last month’s thread, without success as it seems. In the first post of this thread it is stated, that the same issue shouldn’t be reported repeatedly… So I think I shouldn’t post it again (was enough work with all the screens the first time I did it anyway). But maybe some of you who haven’t already postet in this thread could do so?
Indeed I already made a post for that issue, and so did several other people.
Then the thread got reset and Anet “will have already seen them and added them to our bug database.”
Which doesn’t inspire confidence in me. It seems like the problem is being shelved so they can fix it somewhere in the future (Translated: ‘in years’ or ‘never’)
Not saying this is the case but that’s what I’m afraid of.

They should at least do something with it. It’s useless now.
But I really like the idea of a private area, just for you alone, where you can do all sorts of stuff so I hope they will work on the home instance.

1) They have been in the game since launch
2) It was made clear how we could obtain these items years before the release of GW2
3) It is not unfair, we GW1 players worked for our HoM points. It’s not like we got those
for free
4) There should not be a similair item (unless you mean a counterpart, aka jormag’s
breath) because if you could get items that looked almost exactly the same as HoM
items then what’s the point of getting them?

But I hopped over here from the WvW/PvP threads I normally take place in…..and I can’t stop laughing here….. xD
While I understand it would suck to farm for an armor piece and have it marginally changed……I really can’t understand why people are THIS upset?
IMHO A-Net has much, much bigger things to worry about (WvW culling, skill lag in pve and wvw, new game content, bugs, glitches, hacks, exploits, class skills working incorrectly, and a LOT of other major game issues) So seeing a thread where people are pretty upset about a shoulder strap being altered and ear-muffs being a few inches higher…..I have to laugh. Character looks are nice, but as long as there are things that affect actual gameplay….I really think cosmetics should take a back seat.
Didn’t mean to derail, but thought it would be fair to provide some of “the other sides” opinion.
Normally I’d agree with you. But we are talking about a problem that’s bothering almost everyone who has this armor and should be very easy to fix.
Problems like this happened before. I believe it was with the corrupted longbow (correct me if I’m wrong) from which the appearance was changed, much to the dismay of many players. And after enough people informed Anet that they wanted the Longbow restored, it eventually was. Since Anet was prepared to revert that change for a Longbow, I hope they will do the same thing for this armor.

Overall clipping and stretching issues with the armors.
T3 light: Those “weird shoulder straps” you speak of are supposed to be there, though they are apparently part of the chest armor instead of the shoulder armor rendering players unable to hide and/or dye them separately.
T3 light: The huge ear covers simply look ridiculous.
T3 heavy: The metal helmet has apparently been “rubberized”, though I am not certain what is meant by this, I can only assume the pieces over the ears now move with your ears when you enter or leave combat.
T3 heavy: The shoulder armor has been made smaller. Not quite sure if I like this change or not.
T3 heavy: The shoulder armor has apparently also been “rubberized”, I can only assume it is meant that they change their shape a little along with your character’s body.
The fact several of these problems may not even be considered ‘bugs’ by Anet disturbs me greatly. It could mean the armor will stay like this forever..
Neither of which got a response. Now, I understand Anet can’t respond directly to every thread out there. But come on, a perfectly good (and expensive) armor was ruined while it only needed one piece fixed (the shoulders).
Instead, everything that was perfect was needlessly changed, and the only thing that actually needed to change hasn’t been worked on at all. I’m sorry but.. really? Really guys?

If you actually read what we said instead of immediately speaking your mind without knowing what you are talking about, you’d know that clipping is just one of many issues.
If you guys can’t look past some of the small problems then an MMO isn’t for you.

By now I’m sure you’ve seen some complaints about the recent changes on Savant armor (asura cultural T3). Issues include:
-Shoulders being part of the chest on females (thus not being able to dye them correctly)
-Ear flaps of the helmet being enlarged significantly (which looks awful)
-The shoulders itself are still invisible as they always were (thus making them entirely
worthless)
I desperately want the armor restored to it’s former glory. However! Is the restoration of this armor even being considered? These changes seem intentional to me, and if so, does this mean the Savant armor will stay like this forever?
I desperately want the armor, I invested so much in, back. But I don’t want false hope either. I’d really appreciate an official response on wether the appearance of this armor is subject to change.
Thank you for your time.

They only should have changed the shoulders (AND NOTHING ELSE) and everything would have been wonderful! But no, now we are stuck with a ruined helmet and shoulders/chest we can’t dye correctly anymore.

The inquest did that, not the asura population at large.
Can you support this with reliable source please? As my source didn’t mention any “inquest did that”…
According to the wiki: Kudu is one of the top individuals of the Inquest and was Snaff’s apprentice before Zojja. He was also one of the first asura to meet the sylvari and was the one responsible for what happened to Malomedies.
And last time I checked, Kudu is a member of the inquest. And even if he wasn’t at the time, HE did the experiments, not the asura population at large. You can’t blame their entire race for the misdeeds of one individual.

WvW is fine. You lost because you got shot while running away from a horde of enemies…
Sounds about as correct as things should be.
Oh noes! A bullet ricochet off my armor, might as well walk slow now so the enemy can kill me.
Yes that makes perfect sense..
I dunno about you, but from what I’ve seen, most of the light and medium armors are mostly made of cloth. And the amount of exposed skin on a lot of female armor across the board is ridiculous.
So that argument is a bit invalid.
Plus, since you took damage, obviously it did not just ricochet.
Should run slower while weapon is drawn instead.
Wouldn’t work, considering that there’s a possibility to hotkey weapon stowing. Enjoy your uncatchable thieves.
Also, the OP’s post is pretty much just another complaint about culling.
The point I was trying to make is that getting hit once is no reason to walk slower. Getting seriously wounded is. And getting hit once doesn’t always mean you are seriously wounded.

One more screenshot to further show how terrible the weighting on the tier 3 light asura armor on the shoulders since the change to the armor last update.
Simple idle animations distort the visuals completely( also try dancing to witness it in its full glory) , making it look terrible from upclose, and even from a fair distance.
I hope you can fix that soon Anet, and not in six months, because right now it looks terrible.
I’d like to add some things to this issue:
-The shoulders are now part of the chest, which simply can’t be what the devs intended. It ruins the dye combinations because it’s now impossible to get the right colors for both the chest and the shoulders pieces.
-The Savant Epaulets are still bugged (invisible for females) and no offense but adding the skin of the epaulets to the chest piece is not a fix, it’s simple an inadequate workaround.
-The ear flaps on the Savant Helmet are huge now, it looks ridiculous..
Please revert the changes. The only thing that needed to be done was fix the savant epaulets for females, nothing more.

The funny thing is, that there was no need to change the light armor skin. If they just added the seperate shoulder piece, everyone would be happy…
This. And the worst thing is, because they made the shoulders part of the chest piece, I can’t pick seperate colors for them! I either mess up my shoulders or my chest piece. My favorite armor is just ruined…

Selling, trading, or even giving away an account to someone else is not permitted. If it is detected, yes, the account is subject to closure. The reason I say that is not to be scary, but to make it clear that if you invested time in building the account — characters, items, etc. — they may go away at any time because only the original buyer of the account (buyer from a legitimate source, of course) is ever the owner of the account.
Thanks for the response. Apart from logging in once to see what characters were on it I haven’t done anything with the account yet. I will inform my friend and give the account back.

A friend of mine doesn’t play guild wars 2 anymore, and he wanted to give me his account. However, I don’t know if it’s allowed to have multiple accounts.
So before I do something that might get me banned; Is it allowed to have multiple accounts?

No there are not a lot of games where you play as a kid.
And NO those japanese anime dolls don’t count, this is not an anime game.
And NO games for little kids don’t count either, this game is rated T (teen) by ESRB.
It wouldn’t make sense either, for the following reasons:
-Let’s give the pact a 10 year old commander, yeah right.
-Asura progeny fit in my pocket, you can barely see them let alone their gear.
-Sylvari don’t have kids.
-Charr children live in Farhars and are not allowed to leave untill they reach adult
hood, in fact, they don’t even have a name before they leave (check the lore).
-In your story you often take up important roles (leader of this, commander of that etc etc). Jobs you simply don’t give to a kid..
