Each will reward 14 Mystic Clovers each (that's 28 Mystic Clovers total for finishing both the pvp and wvw track). That's double what you usually get for completing a unique reward track. As well as 3 Stormcaller weapons each, which will cut down on the crafting resources needed to craft the collection.

You’d be right if the track was repeatable. I just can’t see the reasoning behind creating these tracks as not repeatable imo.

> So ... because I'm active on the forums, checking it regularly and because I had (bad) experience with such things, I decided to stay off the game and give the people working on the issue less problems

So much this. I check the forums, Reddit, and also decided it was pointless to log in and sucked it up to not log in to the game, and played another game. I also keep guildwars2 twitter on notifications, for any updates to when I could safely log in. But will get less compensation of a lost day than someone who logged in for even just a second.

I will say this again, not being able to log in for a day is still a day of progression lost. Especially as a festival was active.

Sure I didn't do my dailies, but there are those who did their dailies and lost them. They deserve more than those who didn't log in at all

So like it or not, they will feel like they are being punished for doing what they believe was right.

Then why give a wonky compensation if they don't have to? Like I don't really care if we're compensated for the down time, but giving some players (who didn't notice a fault in the game, and a small minortity possibly choosing this time to see if they could dupe items too) a free mount skin, and the rest who noticed the game fault *and didn't log in to prevent any damage to their accounts* a single use bonfire is so majorly off it's insulting.

I'd rather Anet just gave everyone a bonfire if they want to provide a small gesture of the downtime and leave it at that.

Edit to add: Not being able to play a day is also taking away progression, just saying.

I think I burned through 9 keys, got the glider and the tail feather. After the tenth key, I just bought the gems for the mount, which is what I wanted in the first place.

RNG is a fickle mistress.

We can get back in again!

NA never experienced these issues Eu has had over the last couple of days... NA never had the rollback on the 11th. Thanks for the input though.

Same here.

Finally getting an error code;

58:11:5:535

Here I am just glad that I've not lost anything I've paid for.

Anything in game can be re-earned, re-made etc.

Like, I know Anet are looking at giving us something for the disruption, which is really sweet, but it's absolutely not necessary at all.

All of ya'll just look greedy AF.

Dude, you were demanding people lose >3 days progress because you logged in for two hours...

Same, I'm just happy I lost no items/gem purchases/ progress!

If Anet feels like they want to give us something that's fine, but I'm not going to sit here and demand it. :)

Logged in and efficiency refreshed, nothing missing on my account, as I didn't log in at all once I knew the servers had rolled back.

Great job Anet!

Only if we got more armors that are skin tight/revealing. We don't like clipping here.

More customization is always better imo, people can choose *not* to use said features.

I had to report a ranger a few months back who had atleast 2 pets named referencing racist organisations/practices/slurs.

Yes.

> @"Daddicus.6128" said:

> Oh, yes there is. The cost is very low to stat-change. The cost is only the same inscription or insignia you need to craft it, 5 ecto and 10 spirit shards. That's peanuts compared to the full crafting cost.

That's ok, I'll do the research for you.

Nadijeh's (Marshall stat) costs around, Light - 265g / Medium -286g /Heavy - 252g for a full set.

**The stat you want** The Twin's (Greiving) costs around, 242g / 266g / 234g for a full set.

Thackeray's Seraph stats are minutely cheaper than The Twin's, but only by ~25s per piece, you may aswell just craft The Twin's directly.

You do you though.

There’s no benefit to crafting a cheap set to stat swap it anymore for a lot of stat combos. Research how much it would cost to directly craft something compared to crafting an item and stat swapping it.

> is there a place where this info could be found that is updated dynamically?

https://gw2efficiency.com/crafting/ascended?filter.type=0&filter.weight_class=light

Most stat selectable items, exotic or Ascended, will give you the option of choosing Trailblazers stats.

For Exotic, the easiest way is probably Verdant Brink T4 for the chest then buy the rest of the armor for tokens. There’s also the Desert Armor Boxes, Legacy armor and Triumphant/Glorious armor from WvW/PvP reward tracks,

For Ascended, you’re options include, but aren’t limited to, Fractal vendor, WvW, PvP, Strike Mission (vendor in Eye of the North), and good ol’ crafting.

The City of Hope story mission awards a choice between 3 Auric weapons...

OP, if you want an Auric Greatsword, you have to either craft it yourself (buy the recipe from Auric Vendor) or be awarded it from City of Hope story mission (Heart of Thorns: Chapter 8, Mesmer, specifically, gets to choose Greatsword)

I look for funny streamers, the game is irrelevant.

Are you charismatic? Can you hold attention for hours at a time?

It would help if you linked these videos with time stamps.
