No one is to blame for chars and chars filled with exotic luck that you "can't use" where the luck sits useless because you store it and choose not to donate it somewhere because you think anet will add some use for luck that will make you rich later or will benefit you somehow except you. This is a choice you're making. Meanwhile people who aren't capped on luck fall farther on farther behind trying to cap their luck and have to donate luck that could've contributed to their magic find because a large majority of people who ARE capped on it choose to hoard it instead of donating it.

Definitely this.

Also in order to have all the guild halls your guild has to split between different guilds, each with a different guild hall.

Currently we do have 5 guild slots, and most of the players have 3 for the main guild and 2 free ( storage guilds or different guilds ).

> ANet why don't you allow us to just directly purchase the items we want? Why does ANet not just bundle a collection like the phoenix skins or gargoyle skins for example and just sell them to us for 600-800 gems? I think a lot more players would be apt to spend money in the gem store if they can just directly buy what they want instead of spending a lot of money on stupid BLC keys in hopes of unlocking the skins they want through the wardrobe. I've been playing for some years now and I'm still confused about why we have the RNG instead of direct purchases? I think the micro money they make from BLC key sales and what not would pale in comparison to the amount of money players would spend on items they actually want. Anybody else think so?

Because if the cost is high players are more inclined to purchase gems in order to buy it.

> Let's say that the item costs 700 gems.

* X players would be able to convert golds to 700 gems

> And now let's consider the item cost 2k or more

* Y players ( Y way more lower than X ) would be able to convert golds to gems, and due to both the limited time of aviability many players will ( or at least would consider ) the possibility to buy the bundle.

Same thing goes for unique account bound skins from BLC ( which probably could be tradable after a year or so ).

They did their math, and managed to learn that they are definitely going to make more money by selling high priced bundle or skins ( because of whales, mostly ).

You forget a free immobili cd 20 and a free reset ( you bring 4 skill categories out of 5, so 80% of the time you have 1 or 2 skills back ).

And it works with sword acro trait reset, so definitely dd is not better than da.

And 2x mug is also very Nice.

They said the same with pof and its mounts, and currently the copy which have been sold are less than hot.

And we had a -25% discount on the new expansion after 2 months.

Uw combat is probably better than others mmo, but still sucks and can't be a replacement for the terrain one.

Uw could be part of thr game, but not the game.

That's why because of few many are not allowed to have Nice things.

Why do you take your commander Tag if you are not doing events/wvw lead?

Because i paid for it and it can use it thr way I want.

#applause.

It's not an order from above.

More likely Common sense.

I suggest you to try the Thief elite spec DeadEye.

Press 5 and you will find yourself with a not so action oriente class.

As said before, the Tag was given to us in order to semplify tasks and provvide better coordinati on.

You don't give a cat about the other players?

Your choice.

But don't pretend to be right.

The commander tag is something meant to lead a group.

Is not meant to be used with a friend solo or a party of 5 players.

If you have bought it for petty reasons as those you said

> You earn and pay for a tag, you can wear it however and whenever you like really

you are definitely wrong.

* During PvE, players will follow you because they think you are doing events, hp and so on.

* During WvW players will follow you because they thinjk you are leading a squad.

Why would you take the tag on if not to play with a large group?

Mostly trolling, but this time I misunderstood squad invites with squad join requests ( as Pifil said in his post ).

That's why i corrected myself.

It's annoying because it leaves the invite up on the screen but it means they can't keep re-sending it, and it actually seems to get the message across more effectively than rejecting it.

I tend to assume they're used to games where you get bonuses if you're in a party with people on the same map and want to party up then carry on doing map completion, but whatever they case I don't want to participate so I refuse/ignore them. If it's a group activity then I often appreciate the invite rather than trying to click the commander.

There shouldn't be a way to disable em, since we are talking about a MMO.

But a way to make them less invasive could be appreciated:

* An option to remove the invite sound

* Custom UI would allow you to move the popup somewhere else

I mean, i don't really like to move toward self centered features, but i also i don't really like invasive pop up and messages.

And because GW2 ui can't be modified, i am forced to see many things i wouldn't like to see

* Achievements

* Loot

* Avaible Dailies/Story/Events ( i should be able to stick only what i would like to see ).

* And so on ( also the sound from invite and the request on the left is something i don't really like ).

Oh my bad then sephi.

Pretending to use the commander tag in order to roam with another player is kinda selfish.

I really like this ( a dedicated thread in order to gather views/comments and let ANET see it would be nice ).

Just one extra

* Confusion dmg on skill use drastically incrased

* Confusion dmg removed from AA.

Yes.

30$ for extra maps/classes/story and at least 30 hours of gameplay are definitely far enough to me.

I am not sure i will be actively playing the game, like now, but even so i will definitely buy it.

You should change game then :lol:

Not a flame, but since you are playing all game modes and you are not having fun with any class... why are you still playing? i would have dropped the game earlier.

What abouy this

Conditions should be an extra in terms of damage.

The scenario should be

* physical dps

Or

* hybrid physical/condi dps

Remove necks which gives more than 550 condition damage and you will see players forced to deal dmg with both conditions and power ( which is affected by weakness, armor, protection and sometimes dodge,because many condi effects are persistent ).

Try to fight with a Scourge friend with celestial equipment and see his damage.

It was

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infiltrator%27s_Return

I know that before sword 2 was broken as hell, but I was talking about the Los.

#Scourge is not fit for the GW2 spvp because of capture points and its own mechanics ( scourge's ).

And what has been said about the scourge

> And it is **a class which a noob player can be immediately a champion with it, low risk high reward**, and **in the hands of a good player has too much advantage against any single class in the game, it has no real counters**, because power ranger or deadeye or other professions aimed to counter it are trash tier builds overall and if they can counter scourge doesn't justify their use in the pvp meta.

>**A bad mediocre player using scourge can win against a decent-good player**.

Is unfortunately true.

The real problem is that, given the specific class, there is no real fix ( unless you bring scourge dmg to a dead end ).

They should rework what they shouldn't have conceived, but I am sure this won't happen.

Then we do have 3 possible scenarios

1) Scourges will remain as they are

2) Scourges will be nerfed to the ground ( or enough to put different classes into meta )

3) Other classes will be reworked and scourge will move out of the meta ( not because of nerfs but because of buffs to other classes... but it's definitely impossible given the class and ANET way of balancing ).

Definitely.
