That would actually be so much more fair atleast!

> @"Salt Mode.3780" said: > > So what you're doing right now is claim that you know what the game is *balanced around* (being "two dodges") better than anet themselves do, which is not only pretty random, but also false. If they were to revert that nerf, then it wouldn't be "because the game needs you to have 2 dodges to work", but because they determined the spec is too weak and needs help. > > And mirage isn't really dead, it's just not as easly spammy as it initially was. > > the game was built upon 2 dodges in every profession if you want to understand why 2 dodges is important then i suggest you want JazzXman.7018's video it will explain to you in detail why 2 dodges is important and is a fundamental core mechanic to the game itself. and 2 dodges is even more so considering mesmers have so many core traits that rely on dodging. > again with the spammy claim, mirages with 2 dodges was never spammy what made it seem spammy is sigil of energy and endurance food + vigor which mirages were able to use to max potential i mean daredevils can maximize the use of it as well, if you want to talk spammy classes with NO cd is called spammy for example thieves and even then they have initiatives that prevent them from being "spammy" > as far as balance goes the game hasent been balanced since pre expansion days and the main issue with the game is boons which never got touched on the huge balance update from 2019. when dmg numbers got crunched boons continue to run rampant into the game. for example pre expansion days it required combo fields to get certain boons or 2 staff guards and fire field to get 25 stacks of might, now a days a press of a button and u can achieve all the important boons in the game. > u talk about devs knows balance as far as im concern they havent released a balance patch tht shook the meta up. stop trying to kiss up and let them own up. > > oh and because mirage dodge is stationary, the speed boost it gets will get hindered by cripple and chill. so if u dont understand what tht means it means if there r aoe fields with 1 dodge and even 2 sometimes u cant get away from the aoes. > > PS. if mirage really only needed one dodge because espec reasons they would've done it upon release not wait nearly 2 years to remove it.... BAAM!!! Thank you for the facts! :) Is it that hard for people to understand how unfair the mirage nerfs are? Even a 5 years old would get it... jeeez

It's been like almost one month now with this issue going on and the support doesnt really give any update on how it's going with this issue. I just get like automated responses almost all the time which is really frustrating. Is it that hard for Anet to be transparent for once? Tiresome to get told all the time to use Paypal or buying Gem cards (which I havent seen any store in Sweden sell at all). Does anybody here have any more luck than me with the support?

> @"Lucio.4190" said: > Weird.. I live in Sweden too and have the same problem. I solved it by using Paypal, but that's not a solution. > > If this is a networking issue, then someone may be doing things they're not supposed to do (either ANet or the government)? What is different in Scandinavia compared to other countries where this works? I dont know if it has gotten stricter with the "Verifying of purchases" - part for us who lives in Sweden, from the banks perspective? This issue has never existed before for me prior to middle of january. In a way it's a good thing with them being stricter, so we dont get exposed to fraud etc. Anet just needs to implement a good pop-up system for their Gemstore and then we're good to go :p

But if I had a bad connection to their server wouldn't I experience a bunch of lag while playing?

Whatever that means (I don't want to do that because I won't remember how to reverse it if I need to). And in the last reply, they wanted me to download a VPN, which I haven't done yet and I don't know if I will. My mental energy is starting to run out and I just hope that it gets fixed by itself. > > I tried to buy gems again a few hours ago, but instead of just getting the "gray out indefinitely" issue again a completely white window also popped up now after clicking confirm. Dont do those things! Dont really know why they want you to do all those things since this is a known issue that many has, atleast for us who's living in scandinavia. The white window you're seeing is actually a fix they have made. Its a window for the pop up to load within, and it seems like its working for some people, but not for us who lives in sweden as I understood from their response in my ticket. They are looking into this and will write back when they have an update!

> @"Vex.5716" said: > So far it still does not work, although when entering the payment the window will pop up but it will remain empty and will no longer be loaded and the payment will not take place again > Im having the same problem as you aswell! The support is working on this though!

> @"chicken.4930" said: > i have problems too.. i press confirm. and nothing happends after that. just loading. I live in Norway Seems like most of us from scandinavia has the same problem! submit a ticket to the support team, that's the best we can do! I received an update for 3 hours ago from the support team, and they are looking into this. Hopefully they find a fix soon! :)

> @"The Dark Neptune.2651" said: > I live in Sweden and i'm also experiencing the same issue. Any update on the matter? Im waiting for Anets response for the moment! "They are looking into this" was the last thing they said. Submit a ticket to them and refer to this forum thread in your ticket aswell. The more people bring this up the better!

Im having the exact same issue aswell and I live in Sweden. Didn't have this issue at all in the beginning of january. I've submitted a ticket for this aswell. Hope they can fix this somehow!

 I'd like to suggest these beautiful fairy wings as a backpack and glider combo with 4 dye channels (link above) =) We dont really have any fairy inspired wings beside the moth wings, but you cant dye the backpack on that one ;) PLEEEEEEEEASE Anet, make this happen! <3 :3

Great idea! I forget them all the time aswell and its a pity, since the animations for the emotes are nicely done aswell!

seriously... another doom and gloom post?.. Tiresome... Just get a PC and move on with your life, since you get triggered by people in here just trying to help you... Sorry not sorry...

> @"Westenev.5289" said: > I mean, we already have glittering wings... I wouldn't mind a glider for that skin. That would been cool aswell! But you cant dye the backpack though, and that kind of kills the glittering wings skin for me atleast :/

> @"KidRoleplay.3615" said: > Wish they'd add dye channels to the moth wings glider, but meh. Wish they could do that aswell, but dont think it will happen :( might aswell do a new skin from scratch instead :)
