Yeah I get that completely, but I mean it seems rather odd just to charge $5 more for 1 xpac.. u know?

Maybe you guys misunderstood. I know why the game is $25 for both cuz It's 50% off right now.. but it makes absolutely 0 sense to leave 1 expansion at a higher price than include it in the sale. at $15 like PoF.

When submitting a ticket, there isn't a correct problem to select. Only account issue, in game issue, purchase issue.. nothing related to what my actual problem is.

Right now HoT is $30 .. but if you combine both HoT and PoF it's $25 and PoF is $15

Why isn't HoT the same $15 price?

To me it doesn't make sense to leave HoT $5 more than buying both combined.

Well gonna find out once it's fixed. Have over 20 keys saved up already.

Well I got video of it, but didn't want to post to stir up drama.

I did. I saved 10 keys.. never used any and was able to turn in all 10. Did the same for 2nd time around with 10 keys. on 3rd time around I could only hand in 2. So definitely bugged.

Speaking of balance.. Ranger looks like it's perfectly fine.. /s

Then the wvw max rank should be increased to compensate for it.

Although I'm all for the increase on reward track gain. Getting max rank always needs to take a while to reach. I mean they could just keep reward track gain higher but leave WXP and max rank normal.

This maybe fixed for LFG, but chat messages still suffer. Even waiting 1 minute between linking stuff it still suppresses.

Exact same thing happened to me. Got 2 chests and rest open. I'm on my 3rd round too.

Griffon for sure. At least with that you can use it on all characters.

Could you please add permanent contract to the Statuettes. You could set the value to something like 500 statuettes, and have those ones account bound on acquire, while the ones that drop naturally from keys would be tradable.

> TL;DR Removing the increase all personal damage on malice, forcing Deadeye to use one of its few sources of mobility for a DPS increase on one skill is not a healthy gameplay pattern for a class whose main strength is high single target DPS, when in reality has mediocre single target DPS with a massive trade-off in most other areas.

>

> When I first saw the Deadeye spec released, I thought it was awesome. I had always enjoyed the sniper class in any game I played, and was eager to use it everywhere I can. It was a bit clunky to play, and the DPS wasn't great, but it was fun.

>

> I was cautiously optimistic about the rework, but after playing it for a few weeks I've realized that it lost all the things that what originally made Deadeye fun to play. The Deadeye rework addressed very little of the problems faced with the original version, and instead opted for a new path that eliminated any use of the rifle from any serious PvE content and removed the 'long-range stalker' fantasy it originally created.

>

> Thief's basic design is that it should do high, single target damage. With Deadeye, we got a spec focused on doing single target damage. Rifle has one ability that pierces, all others can only hit one target. Deadeye traited for rifle DPS offers no cleave, very little (if any) utility, in an effort to maximize its DPS. To put it into comparison, Weaver has exceptional single target and AOE DPS, while still maintaining some of its utility, CC, and mobility. Weaver is a much more complex class to play, and so should be more rewarding. However, Deadeye's damage is not up to par with Weaver (or any DPS spec, for that matter) when comparing the sacrifices each class has to make to maximize their DPS. Perfectly played Deadeye should not be on the same level as perfect Weaver (I think Weaver should be nerfed a little bit honestly), but a well executed Deadeye should be able to provide viable DPS to any group it is in. Wit htis rework, this is nowhere near the case, as Deadeye still provides mediocre DPS or might and fury for the whole group, something that is already well established by other roles.

>

> First and foremost, the changes to Malice were a nerf to Deadeye, both in damage and in play style. I'll admit, before the rework, the gameplay wasn't terribly engaging: Find a good spot to kneel, mark a target, auto until max malice, then unload all your initiative into Death's Judgment. Nevertheless, it had its rewarding moments. When the boss' breakbar broke the same time you got max malice and popped Signet of Power, it was a rush watching those massive crits chunk the enemy's health bar. Instead of using it as a ramping damage amp, the rework decided it should create another 'pump and dump' system centered around death's judgment. However, instead of being gated by time, this malice system was gated by initiative spent and stealth. In theory, it wasn't a bad idea, trading one pump and dump pattern for another. However, what it lost was any incentive to really focus on building malice, as it became a afterthought to using abilities and necessitated repeated stealth attacks to get any use from it. The best way to utilize this new malice was to use the same rotation as base thief: dagger/dagger, auto attack and occasionally use 5 for stealth, right behind the target. Rifle's range was a hindrance so the best course of action was to be right next to the target.

>

> This brought us to the second big change: Tying stealth to dodging. While it makes sense that a thief should utilize stealth (especially a class focused on long range evasive combat), tying it to Deadeye's main mobility was not the correct choice. Disregarding the terrible clunkiness of being unstealthed by an already traveling bullet, by forcing DJ to a stealth attack, rifle lost not only its only access to boon stripping, it also became forced to use its dodges offensively rather than defensively. With Daredevil, that was acceptable, as it had access to many other evades and ways to regen endurance, but with Deadeye, that's your only form of defense. In addition to this, finding a proper spot to kneel becomes irrelevant, as you will be forced to roll to increase your DPS. What kind of sniper does a dodge roll before firing its best shot?

>

> Rectifying this requires that dodge rolls not be a necessity in a Deadeye's rotation, to preserve what little defensive utility it has. It also requires a change in malice so that it becomes meaningful to stack malice and take note of its progress. Finally, this needs to be accompanied by buffs to rifle, and possibly a revert to Death's Judgment on Rifle 4. As Rifle Deadeye currently stands, there is no point in bringing it into any organized PvE content at them moment, but reverting some of the rework could provide a step in the right direction.

I think the only thing keeping people on Daredevil at this point is the choice of different dodge skills.. and of course the use of staff.

I just feel like barrier needs a complete rework. Say you have 10 Scourges running together. They can basically cycle barrier on themselves and that is shared to their team mates over and over, and you'll barely be able to damage them. If you don't have enough people. Even just 1v1 I tried with P/P Deadeye using berserker stat gear with Be Quick or Be Killed trait so I had faster attacks, and unloaded 4 times.. Scourge had maybe 90% life left after that. Only to be healed back to 100% soon after and already was casting barrier again.

"Be Quick or Be Killed"

Please still have quickness :s

The actual graphics.. sorry.. I use gw2timer a lot and when you zoom into the area where the map is.. it's just nothing there but WP's, POI, Vistas etc. Can't exactly see where they are matching up with on the map since no images.

Would be nice to hear at least something is going on with the API.. feels like it's slowly being abandoned :anguished:
