one of the worst ideas ever. Would destroy wvw completely. So no.

I loved Rytlock. Until he got all whiney about Ryland. Seeing Ryland die and Rytlock going back to his cynical self would be much appreciated. I would also like to see more of Kasmeer AND Marjory. There can not be enough Canach. I am glad Rox is gone and if Braham disappears to sit at Taimi's death bed, I would not be too sorry. Despite all the laughs I got out of Taimi.

I mentor a lot and my followers list is pretty long. Never had a problem. Dont see the problem. My block list on the other hand has 1 entry (I remove blocked people once I forgot why I blocked them, but still, in all these years I maybe blocked half a douzend),

sometimes you get different dialogue depending on ordner or species. I like to see it all.

for you maybe. But for me, being forced to use windows on my home machine, would be a total show stopper.
I have enought work to do every day because of windows, I don't need that crap when I am home. It is that simple. So I loose some fps. Do not care.
Your optimal is not my optimal.
And you missed that point Zen made with the Mangos.

and rev does as much damage AND pushes boons like there is no tomorrow at the same time, has weapon swap and works in rage AND melee.

Balance? ele?
you could plainly double all ele dmg and it would still be balanced compared to rev, burngard, necro.

maybe he had vsync on in linux and off in windows.
That said, I do not give a damn about windows performance.

Try turning hardware acceleration off for discord. It is a hog, but a bit less of a hog without hw accel.
max fov? I would start there.
1050 is a very anaemic card.
also what do you consider 'configured properly'?

Also ACO is now enabled by default for radv:
WARNING: Unknown option RADV_PERFTEST='aco'. ACO is enabled by default now.

NY Times did an [article](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/26/business/coronavirus-internet-traffic-speed.html) about how COVID is affected the internet.

> So it's kind of weird for people to dismiss and just go "oh it's the servers". Sure, it could be; there's always a possibility. Unfortunately, there's more evidence pointing elsewhere. I actually got some lag spikes for the first time last night and it turned out to be originating in Colorado when I traced it.
well some of the infrastructure in Germany is dreadful. If you are a private citizen. But the exchange in Frankfurt is extremely powerful - and AWS is directly peered there.
That said, I play Warthunder a lot - and if you think some lag here and there is bad - today I had two games with sporadic 30% packet loss and one complete loss of connectivity to the server.

well, GH has been linked with german servers several times and it was never really an issue.

yeah, punishing roamers AND people who enjoy big fights at the same time. Any more really bad ideas?

nope, it wouldn't. At all. Everything would be even more locked 'go away, you are debuffing me' spam incoming.

A lot of people would do wvw, if the rewards were any good. But since you make more gold brainlessly farming Silverwastes, they do that while being bored the whole time. But it is profitable...
Conclusion:
So you actually hate wvw and want to utterly destroy it. Any more great ideas to kill the mode for good?

no, it is not. It is tchnically using hormone therapy. Not a hybrid and genetics play no role in it at all.

I am ele main.
Last night on reset I played rev in wvw. For the first time.
Good damage, lots of boons, good health, no problems with condis or heals.
Elementalist needs a massive buff. This is stupid. Rev can keep up weaver dmg, with negligible risk, without running glass AND shell out boons like there is no tomorrow, WTF? Anet WAKE UP.

you could always enable dodge on double tap

discord and ts provide much more than just voice AND their quality is a good check if it is your connection or anet's side of things acting up
also moderation IS an issue.
So, NO. Please no in built voice system. ANET focus on more important things and let the people who know how to do voice provide the solution.
Besides, neither discord nor ts demand 'tedious' steps. you insert server address and you are done. If the server owner demands some kind of auth, well that should tell you why ingame voice is a bad idea.
edit: I also played a game for many years before I came to GW2 that had builtin voice. Nobody used it. They all used ts instead. Go figure.

Hi,
since todays patch (20200915 to use iso date), inventory is broken. After switching maps, I can left click, right click on items as much as I want, nothing happens (visually) until I relog. THEN I see the results of you clicking. Which can be messy. And bad.
-
sure that your box is not overheating and throttling?
also 8gb isnt that much today. Maybe your system is hitting swap. That REALLY screws over any kind of interactive experience.
-
if the rewards in wvw were better and eotm gave the same reward as the borderlands, pveonly people would flood it - and then spill over in wvw. A win for everyone.

then they either do not play at all or use one of their many alt-accounts. Fixes nothing.

we do not need end of week rewards.
What we need is:
BETTER rewards. On par with fractals at least. Even if you double reward track&pip chest rewards fractals and lw farms are much better. So we should at least get that much. This would attract more players and maybe keep a couple of players from going off when there is a wipe or two.
Combine this with pips for EOTM and more AP, and we could even attract the AP hunter crowd. Stacked servers are not so much of a problem, if every server is stacked and a bunch of people are hanging around in EOTM ready to jump in, if needed.

that is not QoL. That is changing mchanics. Don't care about Anza. Arrow carts are horrible enough in their current state. No downstate - only forum warriors want it. In game most people voice a different opinion - 'I can't wait for this stupid event to be over'. No downstate is ultra toxic and would destroy the mode if made permanent
UNLESS
no downstate is coupled with:
nerf to corruptions
nerf to rev overall
nerf to mesmer overall
nerf to warrior overall
nerf to thief overall
massive nerf to ranger overall
removal of stealth
Why can't we dye our weapons?

the problem is, many weapons only look good if you go for a certain dye theme. Mesmers, rangers, thieves and necros? They have plenty of good options. Mesmer-purple is also the standard stuff you get from plenty of legendaries and legendary auras.
I do not want purple.
But if you want say a sylvari with lots of greens - you are totally out of luck. The nightware stuff is mostly purple, or blue-ish. The daydreamer stuff looks silly. The verdant weapons look flimsy. Bioluminiscene is blue-ish again.
Not dyeable would not be a problem, if there were a wide array of options. But sadly, between 'grotesque' and 'stupid looking' there aren't many options. And those few options are mostly only good for dark or purple schemes.
