Wow it looks like your post was 4 Months ago and I can still confirm that the Last Stand trait does absolutely nothing. It does not un-stun, lessen the duration…do anything at all. I have the balanced stance learned and even put it up and still nothing. The trait is completely BROKEN. I too would at least like a “we’re aware and working on it” statement or something other than the silence of `we don’t care’.
Did a lot of combos with an Ele and a Ranger tonight that also seemed to count randomly .
Daily will not allow itself to be done at ALL – both my friend & I..once we get to 50% on any particular part of the daily – BAM it resets and becomes 0% done, then insists we have different goals as well. So nothing is actually counting and daily not actually finishable.
KenzaiZen I’m not sure if you are aware of this but the game actually has a strict “PvP” set up. This is not the WvW setup. As the designers state, the WvW is actually meant to be a mix of PvE and PvP. What does that mean?
It means that it is A-OK for that loner to go off and get a vista, a skill point, a poi or kill some Vet monster that has spawned. If you want strict must must win everything fighting always matches – I do suggest you look up the “PvP” setup within the game.
As is, the WvW setup works such that what you do within the WvW map, you will be earning bonuses for yourself and your entire server. There are gathering nodes and vistas and such for a reason, there are even “Event” spawned monsters to kill (hey that’s that bonus money for monsters buff included!).
Having the bonuses be server wide is actually what encourages me to participate in WvW. Whatever I do, is getting us toward the next bonus that I’ll enjoy.
And why don’t those bonuses JUST apply to WvW? Because that would completely unbalance and yes – very swiftly completely kill off any WvW. Think it through: one server is doing well in a match at week start, by mid week they have such bonuses geared specifically toward their PvP part of the setup that the servers who started off wrong have no chance whatsoever of catching up or winning. Everyone would just stop. There would literally be no point.
I do suggest you seek the structured "PvP’ option within the game, as that is obviously the pure experience you are seeking.
And all great Commanders are great because of adaptability – they learn to adapt strategy and play to use best what they have at hand. They will always keep and win the best possible bonuses for their server, no matter what they have. This does not mean they will “win”, this means a great Commander leads well by adapting and influencing others – not just shouting insults or frustrations out at them, as some tend to do. The less adaptable a Commander is, the less of a Commander they are. The less charismatic a Leader is, the less people want to follow them.
I do completely agree that the badge drop rate is crap and needs a good fix. The game apparently was intended that characters could live completely in WvW but they did not achieve that in economy. You can easily spend a lot more money in the WvW play than there is any chance to make. You make very little.
