We do not need less runes. We need more choice if you ask me.

The best option to me would be to restore the normal gear options for sPvP that we have had in PvE and WvW since day 1. Only this allows for fine tuning to allow anyone to play with the stats they like and counter the meta in creative ways. This is how sPvP started in GW2 and how it should be today.

You should not judge the matchmaking system on such a low number of games. These streaks can happen and usually when you ended up significantly above or below your player skill level. My player skill level is between 1100 and 1200. I had some bad luck in my placement matches and was put in 950. After this, I had a big winning spree to around 1250. Now I'm losing again because my rating had grown above my skill level.

Because of luck and of course the other players in your team, the adjusting will have jagged edges, but in my experience things always even out again. Your losing spree will give you access to easier matches again after which you will have more wins again. The game tries to achieve a win/loss ratio of around 50% in the long run.

Doesn't the mac has a compatibility layer for Windows applications, similar to Wine for Linux?

PC gaming always as been centered around Windows and x86/x64.

Back in the days you HAD to go to the WvW maps for World Completion.

Maybe a good thing. I wanted the reward so I just came there and discovered the points of interest whenever a location was owned by my server.

It was a nice intro. I still play WvW. Mostly casually.

The UI is not clear about this. Say I am blue and we capture the hylkes in EBG for our server. Then green murders half of them. To green, it will show a bar with 50% hylek morale.

As blue player, I don't get to see this bar. I can rez the hylkes that green killed, but will this restore the hylek morale bar to 100% or is it useless to rez them?

This is my general build for WvW and PvE

For PvE I also have a pure berserker build I run in strike missions.

I currently have no build for sPvP because I tried to use my build in PvP but was not able to find anything close. Before, I used something as similar as possible in sPvP and was moderately successful in doing so. (High-silver, low-gold) And yes, I know there are more effective builds on sites like metabattle, but I prefer something I enjoy playing and that was scepter/dagger with Celestial stats mostly.

S/D Ele or S/W Ele. I prefer some range of the scepter.

If it would be easy to get 1k gold this way, everyone would do it, killing that market. So, you probably were lucky, finding a temporary hot market.

It is quite easy to misjudge players of botting. A couple of days ago I returned to sPvP. Joined a ranked match. I was surprised to see a DeathMatch game type and was immadiately turned into a Moa bird by an enemy Mesmer player. Lost my skill bar and I played quite badly. After a respawn the same happened. A team mate directly announced that he/she was playing with a bot but it was just me playing poorly. If playing poorly is a sole reason to assume botting, then many newbies or otherwise lesser skilled players will be wrongly accused.

So, if you once played PvP and selected an amulet that now has been removed, you basically play Toypocalypse naked?

(I had the Celestial amulet on, but it is gone so my PvP amulet is empty)

While I don't want to discredit this idea, I rather would like to see ArenaNet pointing their attention to something new, like player housing, a new rendering engine or a game mode like Fort Aspenwood in Guild Wars: Factions.

Hm, back to WvW then for me I guess.

There are few alternatives that provide decent vitality+toughness and some power and/or condi.

I tried to return to PvP this evening and noticed my amulet selection was empty, and the Celestial stats I had are gone and I can't re-select it from the list.

I only play Elementalist and need some of the defensive stats that Cele gives me to not be killed very quickly. (Ele is fragile without extra vitality and toughness)

Do I need to wait for it to return or do I need to unlock it somehow?

Just re-introduce the heroes/henchmen in PvP like some GW1 PvP had.

The Cantha expansion

Quality Living world content

New rendering options like DirectX 11, DirectX 12 and Vulkan.

This. And the digital deluxe upgrades will be on sale from time to time, but not now.

If you buy the game again from buy.guildwars2.com then you will end up with a second account. (Which can be fun if you want to do some roleplaying between your own characters) but that may not be something you want.

I don't think so. In the past I purchased 8000 gems in one transaction (In-game shop, PayPal) with no problem. The shop would not offer 8000 gems for sale if the transaction would not support it.

If you can, always use an UTP network cable connection instead of WiFi. WiFi can always have dropouts.

No, my game runs stable here, using Windows 7 x64 on [this system](https://tweakers.net/gallery/23645/inventaris/?inv_id=2006172).

Only my FPS count is a bit low from time to time. Maybe the RTX 3070 is not optimized too well for DX9 games.

Terrain is hard to navigate with the verticality. Too many chances to drop to my death.

I would not miss this map when removed.

Getting killed over and over again discourages me.

Thanks. I reset my WvW mastery tree and I now can have some wintersday fun in WvW.

The specifics: You can train all masteries, except for the specific ones for the sieges you want to use with wintersday effects. Like the catapult and trebuchet. Not all sieges have wintersday effects. Foe example, cannons still shoot cannon balls.

It would be nice if ANet would do some updating here, like selling wintersday sieges for snowflakes that work fine with all mastery levels.

Where do I buy Wintersday sieges? Or how do I craft them?
