TPMN.1483

Is the OP banned ? Rarely do I see a forum login as a string of numbers/letters.

As tank chrono they will vary the play style depending on the group/encounter. Training new druids/healers or new bosses - makes sense for a chrono to go high toughness on certain encounters. I will leave it at that.

BG is well known to be one of the highest populated WvW servers , I don’t see this changing anytime soon. ANET has even publicly stated that BG is overstacked and has a much larger WvW active player base than other servers on NA. They acknowledge that BG is one of the reasons balancing server links is so difficult.

The updated populations are refreshed on Monday - check back every week if the server you want is free.

You cannot compare a T1 NA (Blackgate) server with a link server (WSR) in such a crude manner. Look at the WvW stats in terms of transfers in/out and points gained per hour for a better idea what is going on.

Is there any update on the development - features we should expect, given there has been a Hugh amount of feedback so we can avoid the disapointment of equipment loadouts/build templates ?

Can we fix this Anomaly: with the chat tabs....

From the wiki: After a loading screen it is possible to create an extra tab, but it will not be saved. If that 6th tab is closed, it will not be possible to create another 6th or greater tab again until the next loading screen, but that 6th tab can be accessed by left-clicking the arrow adjacent to the add tab symbol. In this way an unknown number of extra chat tabs (greater than 16) can be added that are only accessible through the arrow. However, these chat tabs are removed upon re-logging

- It would be great if we can save > 6 tabs and it persisted to the amount that can be created.

I used to have 6 tabs saved and relogging did not delete this tab, recently it was reduced down to 5 tabs.

Well how long is it before we expect a quick new meta shift ? Looks like we're going to have to equip CC skills again...

Please NO - Invalidate years in-game when we would have to start again?!

Just expand, build and maintain- GW2.

FYI: GW3 got cancelled by NCSOFT in favour of expanding GW2 which I believe is the right decision. Mike O B left shortly after GW3 decision was made.

Biggest leap will be from dx9->DX12, it’s not a complete rework just needs a dedicated small team to focus on the migration path only.

Dx9proxy has proven framerates go up even with a wrapper. Native coding into DX12 for the engine with the increased cpu multi threading, draw time reduction and increased asset detail will allow anet to rollout previously higher detailed assets and more complex maps in the future.

There seem to be some issues in the land of GW2 ...

One of my accounts can login, the other I have no luck with... lots of Code 42's when I am logged on the account that can get in.

Removing the emergency distort on the csplit -

This was done to ensure mesmers could use their initial skills after csplit after removing F4 distort. This has now removed any instant distort (emergency button) for chronomancers. This would make sense if they moved F4 back to have an emergency distort.

> Every server has nice and not so nice people. And since links change every few weeks and people transfer 247 to other servers, it is pointless to take the current community of a server as a basis for your decision.

On NA there are some servers which are well known for ultimate toxicity, in map, squad, team chats - 24x7 - I wont name the server but anyone who has had a link with them will know who I mean.

Having to send every patch to MS or Sony to be validated before it can be sent to consoles is a killer for ANET and has a massive lag delay for approval to release. We like to see the content regularly and prompt bug-fixs, if we accommodated consoles - this could not happen.

How are ANET calculating 'Full' server status atm, do they ever shuffle to 'very high' ?

Did you just say the aaaalllliiiaaanncceeesssssssssss (shhh) word ?

Unfortunately that server is full, unless space opens up occasionally?

The EU Server list looks like this (non language specific)...

Hi All,

Whats the current best server in EU WvW (that is not full - which can be transferred to) English-speaking with organised groups running in Discord with a sense of community, friendship and a supportive atmosphere ? [i generally play from 7pm GMT - 11pm GMT; I don't mind ques into WvW - I'm fine with this !]

(Not asking for much - hey?!?!)

Would love to hear your opinions, ideas and reasons - on where I should land if I transfer over my NA account

Thanks,

##**Legendary Items: Accessories, Rings, Amulets**

**Problem Statement:** The introduction of legendary accessories allowed stat swapping with non-slumbering versions unable to hide ‘legendary’ bauble effects which can be distracting to play with. The legendary wardrobe will in future allow reuse of these accessories onto multiple characters.

**Potential Solution:**

• Allow wardrobe transmutation of existing rings, amulets and accessories to unlocked effects.

• Allow option to ‘show’ or ‘hide’ the accessories being worn on your character.

**Opportunities:**

• **BLTC:** Future sales of new skins for: rings, amulets and accessories.

**Why this solution?**

• This extends the current wardrobe mechanism to give full customisation for items a character is wearing. ‘Shown’ accessories would be shown above armor (e.g. rings worn above gloves etc). This allows ultimate customisation for characters for items they are wearing.

##**Infusions**

**Problem Statement:** Stat Infusions cannot be easily used across multiple character or easily swapped and have a high price variation often with effects individuals do not want (<2G), plain agony stat infusions (~73G - +9 agony +5 effect) or highly desired effects (>4K-10K Gold) or is limited to 2 per account (red/blue bauble infusions).

**Potential Solution:**

• An infusion of a type unlocks that “infusion effect” and can be stored in the wardrobe and the existing infusion made account bound allowing it to be used across multiple characters.

• Infusions can be transmuted with an effect that is available in the wardrobe

• Introduction of legendary ‘infusions’ that can stat swap that can be stored into the new legendary armoury.

**Why this solution?**

• Allow customisation of characters with items such as ‘red’ bauble infusions that is currently limited to 2 (maximum) per account can currently be used.

• Multiple characters will be able to use the infusion effects once unlocked from the wardrobe onto a similar infusion.

**Opportunities:**

• BLTC: Future sales of new ‘infusion’ effects.

_Examples of new 'infusion' effects:_

* Flying green skulls around you

* The flames from the Fiery Dragon sword licking around your feet?

This must be EU servers - where lets face it the level of player ability is much higher and they utilise the LFG much more than NA.

I would like the T-shirt with an infinity symbol on it, with a GW2 dragon logo on the back.

The number 8 turned on its side is an infinity symbol -).

GW2 forever :)

The solution here - get a static group, friends, guildies who you can rely on to do the full clear at a regular time.

3rd Party build template system - didnt crash the game like this

Currently we have a lot of stats, people use cleric/carrion on dps biulds, use they own biuld, and do 3k dps, and happy on common 3 strikes. Why we should steal this from them??? Take normal people with ptv stats, roleplay roation, take seraps healers and go try Cold War. If CW strike valid - this ok, if not - this is dead content.

This is why - there is an expectation that you should gear up; if your playing in pvt gear in any content mode there is massive room for improvement and learn how the combat system works properly.

Not sure where this survey is going or why pick on bad raid/strike commanders.

Isn’t it better to focus on what makes a ‘good commander’?

Other:

The commanders role is more team management, morale and organisation a central focus for the group. With the difficult job of often making hard and unpopular decisions.

It actually improved it - as people could then improve how they play. Ofc if you don’t use it and play poorly it will show and you won’t like it.
