I still have not received my bonfire.

My ticket seems to be deep down the ignore pile and I really don't know how much further I can make it in the game without my bonfire. It is getting quite cold tbh.

Not only am I apparently not elligible for the Mount License, I don't even get to have a bonfire to keep rotting in my bank :(

Player housing would end up the same as all those useless "hubs" "home instance knock offs" and whatever, they're all equaly useless and redundant.

I would very much prefer if they focused more attention back towards guild halls - more guild hall extensions for all the existing guild halls! They still have lots of unused space which could be used for many more interesting and even useful upgrades like crafting stations for all professions - expensive af of course so that we have something new to grind for! Seriously, give guild halls more love, player housing sounds like one of the worst ideas since playable tengus...

I'm already upset that they decided to not send the Mount License to every EU player but even worse - I still have not even received the bonfire! This is outrageous! Today I've claimed the free bonfire from the tp and I'm still waiting for the one from the compensation... Meanwhile other players have received multiple Mount Licenses and I can't even get the useless bonfire...

I still didn't receive the goddamn bonfire I was promised... Not that I care about that trash anyway but I'd like a compensation for beeing robbed of my bonfire! I think a mount select license would be an appropriate compensation! But only for those who should've gotten a bonfire but didn't get one of course!

... And Justice for All!

I did loose actual progress as well though since I lost time that I would have otherwise spent playing the game, except now those who were acting reckless get rewarded and I'm sitting here with nothing but time lost to cautiosness watching the reckless ones with their pretty mounts.

Again, the fairest move would've been to just give everyone the free mount license and the communal bonfire to the reckless ones.

> We chose not to play. That's not the same as playing and losing progress because of a rollback. You really not see the difference? Should I ask anet to compensate me for everytime I can't play because I have to work? After all, according to you it's the same thing.

We didn't not play because we weren't able to, we didn't play because we knew about the issue and chosing not to play was the responsible step to take. And now we did loose progress because apparently intentionally risking progress is worth 1200 Gems and doing the responsible thing is not. I would've played if I didn't know about the issues so I did loose just as much playtime as those who did play and potentially lost their progress due to their reckless actions.

They should've just sent out the Mount License to everyone and the Bonfire to those that logged in, that sounds a lot more reasonable to me.

They gave the reckless child a shiny toy and kicked the responsible child in the balls, sounds like some quality parenting to me!

Sure I didn't do my dailies, but there are those who did their dailies and lost them. They deserve more than those who didn't log in at all

> An absolute non-issue here

They lost progress to a known issue which is entirely their fault and should not be rewarded...

I, as many others, have intentionally not logged in so that I don't waste time on a corrupted save just to watch people who threw caution to the wind get rewarded for their recklessness with a Mount skin that I would've been very happy about. Instead I get nothing, I didn't even get the communal bonfire that I would probably just put in my bank and forget about. The compensations should've been the other way around.

Have they posted anywhere wether or not there is a chance we get our progress from the past 3 days back?

I came back from a GW2 break 3 Days ago and now I don't really feel like I've accomplished anything the last three days with my progress gone...

In a perfect world these goddamn "make xxx a playable race"-Threads would cease at some point...

I'd personally prefer if they started working on better themed Legendary Weapons or essentially anything that people can work towards. Adding a new race will only result in more discussions about what other races people wanna play...

> Here’s a quick description of how it will work—when you bind a legendary item to your account, it will be added to the Legendary Armory. Any legendary item that is added to the Legendary Armory will become available for use by all the characters across your entire account at the same time. This removes the need for you to swap legendary equipment between characters through your bank or shared inventory. This feature will also come with updates to Equipment Template functionality to make it easier to copy the configuration of equipped legendary items from one Equipment Template to another template on the same character.

This would be a great change! I've been looking for a good reason to craft legendarys and a change like this would be a great motivation. If we could toggle the Legendary Accessoires visuals as well that would be even better.

Had the exact same thing a couple times, always aborted my login attempt and tried it until I got the usual anet sms.

Always a latvian number (+370 645 XXXXX) the X-part differs every time.

EDIT: I'm also from germany, so maybe only german accounts are affected?

Essentially the fall damage and revive speed traits are now (almost all) useless since they mostly just removed a portion of traits that were only picked for niche applications anyway. Neat.

They should also have a stable version which can go live on time.

The IT has deadlines like any other department. Yes code should be tested all the time but by that logic it'd be fine if they never released anyhting due to tests still going on?

They should always have a stable version ready foor the release date, in the worst case they'd have to temporarily disable some features on release and fix them asap. Like the choya fighting pit in crystal oasis - oh wait, they never actually released that :(

These ghastly deadlines really do sneak up on you, don't they?

I mean the release date must have been a real surprise for everyone at arenanet today...

> You realise scourges play power because in medium to large scale combat conditions are pretty much completely useless due to the over abundance of condition cleanse int the game at the moment.

And you realise that the oppressive nature of scourge comes from the fact that they can do excessive powerbombs with no meaningfull cooldown on large AoE's from range?

The fact that condition builds vs condition cleanse are completely out of balance is an entirely different issue (which of course needs to be adressed as well...).

In my opinion the only change neccessary on Scourge is: Remove the power damage. It's supposed to be a condi class, not a powerAoE Bomber.

Exactly this.

GW2 is the best MMO I have ever played and that includes WOW (although that is probably a personal preference). BUT GW2 could be a lot better. Just look at the Build Templates - they aren't nearly what they could've been if anet had listened to the feedback they had gotten... And thats just the most recent example.

I do appreciate the game a lot but it is really frustrating to see all the little annoying avoidable things add up even though they keep getting a lot of constructive feedback.

Okay Chatlag is already back and the occasional "Login Server not responding" message is back as well. Anet please...

Looks like the patch "fixed" it for now, at least I could log in now. Hope it works for everyone else as well :)

I can no longer log into the game because "The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time."

prior to this I experienced heavy chat lag and wanted to restart the game, hoping that would help...

I'd submit a ticket but I'd need to login for that which I can't do there either.

> Also i hoped we could save gear like account wide in equipment templates so we could use it on other toons as wells, but guess i was just dreaming haha

I was gonna give my opinion here but Slyverine has pretty much summed it up.

My two biggest problems are having only 2 Gear templates with 3 Build Templates and the inability to link a build to a gear template. I don't have a single Build were I don't have different gear, even if its just a different weapon.

I also don't have any two builds that use exactly the same gear... I understand that we only got 2 Gear Templates because PvP didn't have any gear before, or more specificly no gear that matters anywhere outside PvP but still...

Maybe we should have gotten a "Build Template Release Box" where we could've chosen one Build/Gear-Template expansion thingy of our choice from the Trading Post instead of those useless 3 slots that probably don't matter to anyone, at least not for me, I don't really understand what I would ever need those slots for considering they don't even save the equipment, only the traits and utilities.... To me their only purpose is for the very rare case when I want to ping my build to a friend and can't be bothered to visit gw2skills.net or for the slightly more common case where gw2skills.net just isn't up to date. Also I'd imagine generating chatlinks from gw2skills.net is just around the corner now so there really isn't any purpose for those save slots...

I really didn't have high expectations but somehow I'm still disappointed, the templates really don't have much use for me at the moment, I have to put more effort into the game now by beeing forced to manually switch my build whenever I enter or leave WvW and the only advantage so far is that I can quickly switch my weapon via hotkey in escort events just so that I can buff swiftness... Such comfort, waow... (I hope you don't mind the dead meme).

No.

Is it time for people to stop making threads about this every single week?

Yes.

Thank you for your time.

Those Awakened Abominations with their weird retalliation mechanic that isn't bound to a removable boon...

I play Ele and constantly kill myself because they'll pop their retalliation as soon as I cast some skill that does multiple hits over time...

Incredibly unfun mechanic that....
