And reminds me of the Charr/Asura nipple debate…

I think it’s a bad idea. During this beta, I’ve already witnessed some reward track farmers performing as few tasks as possible just enough to keep their participation ticking. Gating more items behind reward tracks might not necessarily help WvW become better.

I was a PvE-only player. I got involved in WvW heavily only recently because of the hypes from recent WvW changes. I do play in NA time but that’s also the time when PvE contents are less frustrating because of lacking of players. I would never have bothered to try WvW if a timezone-biased system was there.

Of course, that is only my personal experience. But the thing is, no data will help you understand people’s desires and motivations, especially unstated ones like mine a few weeks ago. And while you can control the external influences on players, you cannot control their responses, and therefore cannot always control the outcome as you desire. That’s exactly what happened to HoT maps: instead of large group play, we had empty maps after empty maps.

Put aside the debate of whether it is right to make players’ contribution from other timezone less relevant, you look tempted to use an extra complicated layer of rules to further address the “nightcapping” issue. It looks like wishful thinking, and is possible to create more problems.

C/D - Ascended gear important for raids

It’s recommended. You can still beat them in exotics but you have less room for error. Fortunately armor provides such a small boost relative to the rest which means you shouldn’t stress out over ascended armor.

And since there always seems to be that one person who makes the inevitable mistake about percentages, I’ll correct them now. A 2% DPS loss for each of the 10 players on an individual level does not equate to a 20% DPS loss for the group.

This. Everyone gets 2% income increase does not means a country of 1 million population gets a 2000000% incoming increase. Each player getting 2% more dps means the team is getting 2% more dps.

I haven’t done TTWurm since HoT-release, but I was wondering (as a Condi-guy) how the Husks are now with the breakbar. Do they spawn with a bluebar or not? Some guildie and I haven’t checked it out, but we were wondering if it’s still possible to pull them at start or not.

They have a break bar, which is roughly the same as a vet chak in TD (the only break-bar creature I tested). So pulling is dead. But it is still useful to break their bars allowing some control. Pull skills take a big chunk of the bar not enough. Either need another strong cc skill or need to use some consumables like rock or frost gun.

Yup. EVOS does it. Check LFG about 30min before the spawn time for EVOS taxi

EVOS is more pug friendly than TTS. You don’t need to join. Just look for LFG posting.

TT is easier now than before after the change to condition. EVOS’s pug group can kill pretty fast.

Not sure about other time, but I have seen lfg for 9pm and 12am EST time.

EVOS leadership had plans to cover that 9pm slot, but at least now it is not part of the daily routine run. The time covered includes 4am, 7am and 7pm of server time (the first one is 12am est).

And yes it is advisable that you show up 30 minutes early and check for pug taxi closely, as EVOS map fills real quick.

EVOS, as a TT guild, are doing this everyday, especially in the hour you post this.

Weapon swapping upgrade, please??

My current solution: a fractal exotic equipment box in the last inventory tab and use all exotic weapons. Weapons thats you swap off automatically go there and they won’t be sorted when you compact you inventory. I just wish someday we can have boxes that takes in weapons equal to and/or better than exotics.

Somehow I don’t such an update will be implemented at all. ANet clearly have no intention for build templates atm. Will they consider a lesser version?

we need more Invetory space Anet.

I only keep a few alternative weapons in my inventory. I don’t even feel the need to buy any permanent gathering or salvage tool.

Surprisingly, running dungeons everyday doesn’t grant you thousands of AP.
