Hello not sure if this thread is still monitored but
Item : Mage Knight Costume
Race : Asura
Gender : Female
Class : Mesmer
Basically the little dress like area on the costume just keeps disappearing.. Vanishes randomly i'm not sure if mounts cause it but i have to continually take it off and re apply the costume to bring it back.. I'm not sure if it effects other races genders classes etc.
Kinda paid 700 gems on this?

If its full zerker how does he get 16k health when i go full zerk i have just 14k.. BTW that build is terrible against ranged mobs. and AoEs

So we're talking $12 per season, at least I believe for Seasons 3 and 4, the ones that come with zones. Season 2 is an optional purchase for a lot of people, unless you care strongly about story which not everyone does. The point is if 2 seasons are $24 and the game is thirty, that means the whole thing is $54. Even if Season 2 is $30 and it's not, that only brings the whole total, everything we've played for 7 years to $84. But I think Season 2 costs about $15 when it's not on sale. So that brings the total to $69.

> > > > > You're saying $69 and comparing that to WoW. You have to buy the game which is $50 and comes with one free month and you also have to buy the current expansion. I think just the game and the expansion will cost you about $60. So with no sub, WoW is $60 and Guild Wars 2 is $69, with no sub. That's the math.

That wooden potatoes build doesn't explain gear?

Looks interesting, not sure about good, i hope the sword animations got a rework because if not its still going to be garbage in an high ping environment.. Seriously that fling me around skill never hits anything for me with a 300+ ping time..
Also the dagger main hand could use a range increase slightly..

Yeah Aussies pay a lot more for our content, that said i bought all my Living Stories on a sale. Also have not completed Living Story 3 because it was so oppressive to play solo..

Pretty much this the start of the stories are pretty meaningless after trahearne takes the limelight..

Underwater is not as exciting as it sounds on paper.. I believe they add stuff they can add legally.. as in rights to own content.. Shiva is probably not a free domain item.

I agree while buffs are nice the overall theme will not make them overly better or more viable in the long run.. Many of revenants skills are pretty bad, making them larger will not help in anyway.

As a person just returned myself
1.A lot some good some very bad.
2. yes forever
3. Sorry not sure im AU
4. Yes a lot still play but some content like Dragon Stand is unplayable now at least on my server.
5. They added mounts is made world completion a lot better
6. many seem to pvp
7. there are a LOT of currencies now and much grind, and i mean much grind, just a heads up.
-
Snaff and Eir
-
Carrion or Rampagers mostly as they are easier to get and cheaper, Vipers are insanely expensive to create, and i have no idea how to get marauders.
-
Those hats would be excellent in the rain.
-
Yes that was my first thought my second was this
-
Its pay to look good its why legendaries grind died over night because legendaries aren't legendary any more..

Well said completely agree very big mistake adding the grind or Warclaw to wvw.. I gave up after seeing how hard it is to get.. and being left behind everytime without one.. No more WvW stupid idea adding them.

A real vet moved on to other modes of gameplay.
That said i tried WvW after 4 years away.. Not going back, adding warclaws was incredibly stupid and poor decision.. Because as newer customers do not have them they spend hours lost from the rest of the players bored..
Warclaws literally ruined WvW because new customers cannot keep up with the older customers who already have them.. Just an incredibly silly decision. I will not be going back to WvW again now.
