I can't believe no one likes Insta-braham. :disappointed:

Thank you Anet. This was an instabuy for me. I would like to know: was removing the Big Air 360 degree beetle spin trick from the skin intentional?

There's a GEM stimulus?!!

I would love to have another player to hop into the passenger seat of my beetle for a test spin. I will call it "Spill your guts Sundays" or "Throw-Up Thursdays" or "Toss your Cookies Tuesdays" or "Lose your Lunch Fridays." And with that said, I would also propose a special auto-emote for a passenger leaving the vehicle early or after an extended duration of spinning, drifting, and big air jumps. :smiley:

Can't wait to see who gets nerfed out of existence. That will be my new main.

Solid 8. I marked best because saying it's just a decent game means to me 5 to 7. I really enjoyed this game way back before xpacs. The community was nicer. There was Freedom in builds (I like freedom); Build inclusion was much more apparent back then than it is now. I honestly do think like Hugo and others here that the game has lost its way in terms of play as you want. If the Beetle mount never came into existence, I would have stopped playing. I know I'm a minority when I use the beetle for most anything (along with my beetle buddies), but I don't even need an official or guild track. I can just go rally race around a map for fun.

Additionally, people have been really hard on Anet in this thread so far. I can't speak for anyone else, but they've been nice to me in terms of online support. They always answer my tickets and help me out. Though we didn't get to hear voice acting on the release of the latest episode, they could have just stopped releasing anything altogether in light of our current pandemic, but they didn't! We all still get to play, and we all should be thankful for at least that. Aren't they all on the west coast? Aren't they going through some stuff right now?

To make a cheerful looking male Asura is a challenge, but it's possible. I created one that looks like a happy human kid. I have at least one of each race and yes, Asura look like they're permanently angry or judgmental (maybe because they're the most intelligent of all the Tyrian races?). So aside from that design challenge, an effeminate Norn (male or female), a fluffy cute Charr (not intimidating), are among other design challenges for the player to tackle in game but perhaps much more possible than the Asura one.

It's that ultra-post modern stuff. LOL

I don't want to nerf him. I would like to maybe upgrade his status to be a Legendary Bounty. That would be much more fitting than as a bounty champ troll. LOL.

This is a casual game. Hence, Casual is the majority. The core of this game is casual. That is the foundation of this game. Fractals, Raids, and Strikes did not always exist in this game. Back then, we used to just hang out in town and help people with things they needed in the open world.

Back to the topic: they shouldn't be pugging something if they wanted to be selective; they should just select from their own private circle. They should build their own community of people who they do not have to question. (that's on them)

Maybe don't join those groups either and make your own so you can be selective? That's a different choice too. (that's on the individual)

This only happens for closed, instanced content which does not dominate the beautiful, open world community of gw2.

When I think about it, It's really funny to me as a retired, competitive player (fps) because if people are really good, they can solo/carry (depending on the game).

In this game, I've only met 2 extremes (there are many in-between in the spectrum) which are super casuals and the ones you've described.

I have not met a true 'legendary' pro who was both kind-hearted AND who could join pugged, closed instance groups and carry because he knew his class so well that he was flexible in build and play style. A person like that could build a wonderful community of people who could find help at all levels. It seems as though the community is great around open world areas where there are bounties, world bosses, map metas, and everything that is accessible. But as you chug along in this game and get to the 'closed' elite content, people are on edge and demand so much out of people when the blatant majority of this game is casual.

It is unfortunate that the kind-hearted people disappear when it comes to the closed-instanced, elite content. There needs to be more kind people in a game built on good community in all game modes and levels.

But seriously, are people are going for a 7-figure cash prize right? A trophy with sponsors and endorsements? No? So why are they giving regular people a hard time? It is completely illogical to be pushing hardcore in a game where there isn't any tangible (monetary, glory, trophy, or other reason) incentive to do so. Are they making money? Is this a job? I would completely understand if this were a job. I'm hardcore 100% in my career. I think that's important: to go hard where it counts.

Lesson: people like them aren't worth your time in an imaginary world where you're taking a break from real life in a casual game. Find and collect people who are decent and when that community builds, you won't have to worry about looking; it will be more about providing enough opportunities for your great community. Or you can be uberlegendary prosaint that carries exo-geared, non-meta randos in pugs. I'm just sayin. You have choices. DO YOU! :)

Thank you!

After double checking, I'm clearly on tier 4 now and I did not receive the 2 mastery points for Morale Breaker tier 1 and 3. What happened is that I never received the box that contains the MP for the tier 1. When I completed tier 3, I received the box but when I opened the box it never registered my mastery point to the hero panel.

Please fix.

It may help to tell them that I was at max exp and could not gain anymore mastery experience showing: "0/0" for the bar below. Stuck at 325 Mastery. Not sure if anyone else was the same. Did the strike and didn't get the mastery point.

Please fix

I didn't receive my mastery point for Tier 1.

I'm playing less though I'm a veteran casual. Since I work from home, they given me a ton of work to do, and I'm swamped almost every other day. I try to get my dailies in but it doesn't always happen because work is an alt+tab away now. At least I got some people into the game (Anet sale tipped the scales), I hope they stay.

She has a delay. She said she just got the open chat box underneath forum threads so she's in the clear. For her, it was a day after she received trading post and guild storage privileges.

Please close thread. :+1:

> As you said she's no longer a free player, so it should be lifted in the near future.

She just recently cleared the guild warehouse and trading post exchange. I guess maybe in a few more days then.

Hello GW2 fam,

I have a guildie who was a free player early last week but was so impressed by the game's world that she has bought the PoF expansion that included HoT on the sale that was going on until the 8th of May.

Although she's been trucking along in the game and using the wiki, there are times when she wanted simply to post on the public forum for some feedback/questions.

However, she was unable to post since she didn't have the option to do so.

My question on her behalf: how long will it take for her account to gain forum privileges?

Thanks!

I want my Asura in full Hazmat Suits.

No worries. SAB is just around the corner. :)

Thanks! I never played warrior. LOL. Please close thread.

There are dark amber bubbles floating up from my character. She used the level 40 experience scroll so it can't be from an infusion. I checked the effects on my toon and there's nothing that refers to the effect. I checked the wiki and the lvl 40 experience scroll I used says nothing about applying such an effect. Then I did a search here, but you can't do a search if you don't know what you're looking for. I just need an explanation of what this is from and why I have it before I start using more of these lvl 40+ scrolls.

Thank you and good day.

> Again? They already did this and people STILL aren't happy? Good lord. Guess they were right when they say you can't please everyone. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I was happy before the initial nerf. Then the QQ crew had their way.

Grinding for 2 hours. The glove box won't drop. It's the last thing I need. Not sure if the game thinks I'm "done" since I got everything else including the glove box. Apparently I have to wear something that won't drop. Lol.
