Who needs more than 6 gear templates for one character??

Seems like people are mad because they feel entitled to something that was made as a free add-on, that was in no way part of the actual game, that is going to stop working. You should never get attached to third party software because you have no guarantee that it will always work, and Anet has no responsibility to keep it functioning.

Do I feel like we should have to pay for build templates? No. Sure they're giving us 3 per character, but I do think it should be unlimited - why wouldn't you want people to be playing a diverse set of builds? But maybe you should be complaining about that instead of crying about ArcDPS.

You should post whether you mean the core story, a LS season, Heart of Thorns story or Path of Fire story. You should also post if it is a specific story instance that is causing trouble.

The easiest way around this is just to ask someone to help you, if you have friends or a guild, or just mapchat. You can also use the LFG tool in game (I'm not sure how well this works for story content however).

Absolutely +1 this, it's impossible to dismount a guardian, meanwhile they can dismount you whenever they choose.

Petition to change the line "This cat is not hungry right now" to "This cat is not hungry right meow".

I like that they're reworking/changing the less used trait lines, always fun to see new things become viable.

It could be interesting when they add more of them to have a weekly Strike Mission under the Guild Missions tab, but I don't think it makes as much sense when there is only one released. If they plan to make the future ones incrementally harder, they could also fit the easy/medium/hard categories for missions too.

Bots are usually banned in waves, but people will always find a way to bot. It's the same in every game.

We raid every week on Sunday at 18:30-21:30 central European time.

Although we don't ask that you have experience with every boss, we ask you have appropriate gear, are comfortable with your class and know fight mechanics. You must be able to join the Discord, mic not required.

We _prefer_ any the following classes:

Alacrity Ren

Condi Quickbrand

Condi Scourge

Chrono

Druid

However we can work with anything, so just give me a shout in game!

And on top of all that we finally get a story involving the Charr for once and an awesome concert that required a lot of time and effort to implement. For an update labeled a "prologue" I think they gave us far more than was needed.

> Some people just aren't happy unless they're upset about something.

I completely agree with you, I loved the map and the story! It actually encouraged me to create a Charr to play through the personal story so I could see more about their lore, and it was cool!

I also loved the design of the events in the area - there is a real mix of things to do, not just "escort x" or "kill x" or "defend for x minutes". The Metal Concert has to be the best designed event in the game imo.

And this is just a prologue! I'm super excited to see what the actual episodes bring to the table, I hope they're on the same level and don't take too long to release (I'm expecting November, I really hope it's before next year).

The only criticism I have is how easy the WvW/PvP reward tracks made it to unlock *everything*. I understand them having the achievement "meta" reward (the emote) but the Metal Legion Shirt thing went from an expensive collection to just a timegate.

I had this same issue also, I was at least 30-40% through it, and it reset back to zero. Currently it's sitting at 5%, had used all my wxp potions after reset. v.v

You had to get it from the gemstore (but it was free) within 2 weeks after the 27th August anniversary. It is no longer available.

have crashed maybe 10 times in the last 5 minutes (during Roller Derby destruction event, but also after the event ended). Everything has been fine all evening before this.

This seems to have changed post-reset.

~~I'm having this same issue, kinda - I got to 10/11 of the brand stompers and then they ALL started appearing as broken again. I have re-tried to fix all 11 of them, and none of them are popping as the last one, and they all still remain named as broken.~~

EDIT: The bug seems to be they appear as broken even after you have "fixed" them, it turns out I was still missing one. It's likely you have already done that one and it's been counted towards the achi.

Can also confirm.

Okay, so, I logged the character that completed the last collection and mapped to Sun's Refuge and *that* worked to get the progression mail. After trying for almost an hour. :/

I have had the same problem 2 days in a row after completing Troublesome Skyscales (and talking to Gorrik, if I speak to him now he just says he has nothing for me and I should check back later). It still says to wait until reset for Riding Skyscales to unlock.

I think this is due to my mailbox being full when I logged in (I had been sent multiple mails) and so it won't deliver the mail to start the next step. Unfortunately I can't stop people sending me multiple mails so it seems I may be stuck at this point for quite some time. I have re-logged, tried multiple characters and been to multiple zones - still no way to progress.

I kinda like the time gate, it means I have something to do for the next couple of weeks, rather than be like the people who rush the content all in one day ~~and then cry there is nothing to do.~~

It makes sense that since you are hatching your skyscale and "growing" it, that it would take some time. You didn't have the skyscale for the last 6 years, does it hurt so much to play the game a little for the next week or two until you have it?

Sure, it's a long-ass collection and the daily reset thing is weird - it would indeed make more sense to unlock one collection per day regardless of if you completed the last (but make it locked so you have to complete the previous one first, just not have to wait for daily reset).

I think of it more like a legendary mount, it's basically an upgraded griffon (minus the superspeed).

Personally I found the second day of the collection very fun, having to visit old maps and do weird shit like jumping in lava, I think it's a great idea. Although finding the scales/sick skyscales/eggs was a little tedious, I enjoyed exploring the new map whilst doing it and probably wouldn't have done that if it wasn't for the collection.

> I use sic' em on my core ranger WvW build to boost pet burst and deal with mirages/DareDevils (gaining quickness when switching to smokescale at just the right time is awesome). I read all these comments about nerfing the damage boost from 40% to 10%, or duration from 10secs to 3secs and can't help thinking that it would make this skill useless for any build NOT using Soulbeast.

> I understand it causes problems in Soulbeast due to all the other damage modifiers present during pet merge, but I would rather a change that doesn't have a negative impact on core ranger. As to what that change may be I am not sure but they have recently been introducing "trade offs" for elite specs. I'm not sure how much this would change things but maybe have one of the Soulbeast trade offs as only being able to use 1 pet (extra special bond with your companion type stuff).

it's already pretty useless for anything not a soulbeast, and it could be nerfed just in merged form

> If you think the sos and dolyak position allows a berserker ranger to survive and be more resistant, you probably have never played ranger. There is a reason they use 1 or none of these skills, and it's because they are useless (or almost) on that build. The only real advantage is the range, most classes have better tools to survive on berserker builds, perma stealth for example.

No, the skill I refer to is F2 on Gazelle since you run the Gazelle with this build. If you use it without a target, you will instead dash forwards a distance and can combine it with GS3. It seems like all the people like you on this thread expect ranger to win every single match up? Every class has its counters, and classes that out mobilise SLB or classes that can't be killed in the 4 second unlockable window are of course going to be much harder to kill.

In match-ups like power chrono or power reaper, SoS can be pretty nice to give you extra time for the last 1-2 autos you need to down them.

I have 8k hours on ranger and spent a considerable amount of time playing this build, maybe you shouldn't assume. I am not complaining about ranger, I consider Sic 'Em too strong and so made a thread suggesting a change to it.

> Part of what will make or break Sic' Em is how great or terrible the player is. Yeah it's quite a powerhouse but think about it, all that damage and the one thing you're sacrificing is defense. You eat enemy HP as fast as they eat yours. If Soulbeasts screw up their play, any other profession can destroy them in a matter of seconds with the amount of HP and armor.

Bad argument, it's no squishier than *ANY* other class wearing zerker gear. You can do this damage and still be running signet of stone/trait or dolyak stance, kinda removes the squishy aspect. You have insane mobility with greatsword and Gazelle F2 so you can disengage whenever you want, also stealth on LB3.

If any profession in zerker gear screws up their play, any profession can destroy that person.

Soulbeast doesn't need a 40% damage boost to kill something, you still do 6-8k lb auto crits, your gs2 still hits 8-10k and you can do it twice in 2 seconds whilst stunning the enemy. Nothing makes or breaks Sic 'Em, a terrible player is still terrible with it, a good player is still good without it.

How can you not think that is too much of a damage boost? ANYTHING you hit with is going to do insane damage, I can dismount a guy with 2 autos, then rapid fire and he's dead. It is still going to do a lot of damage if you halve the skill to say... 20% dmg for 8 seconds

Do you read????

That is the soulbeast's stats, they are then getting 40% dmg on top of that. Almost 4k power plus a 40% dmg boost.


*taken from a guildie

So a Soulbeast can get these stats (full asc berserker plus 25 might, easily doable in a roaming party) and then can get a 40% dmg buff from Sic 'Em.

You can buy gems through paypal in the in-game client. It sounds like that's what they did, otherwise yeah.. that's what you get from not buying from an official retailer.
