Nice job. I'd suggest to use xcode instead of regular expressions however, since it's more stable.

Glad I'm not the only one

This started happening all the time after I got the second mastery. Seems to be random.

It seems that cinematic audio is tied to music volume in the options instead of dialogue volume.

Kalla skills are complete trash. Even on condi build they lower the DPS compared to (any legend)+F3 and swap to Mallyx, meaning you'll always use another legend instead of Kalla even on condi builds.

Even if the summons are nice on paper, you need to factor the energy cost, the cast time and the fact that people can kill/cc them and you can't move away from them (as well as the enemy). Even on condi builds I'll always prefer Shiro or Jalis with Mallyx. They offer more utility and no dps drop thanks to F3.

Tested both Power Herald with Shiro/Jalis and Power Renegade with Shiro/Jalis. Both with all boons and all damaging traits. Herald does around 2k more dps. And you're far more survivable and with an usable F2 skill.

Talking about PvE and WvW, Power Herald is better.

Also Kalla skills are complete trash. Even on condi build they lower the DPS compared to (any legend)+F3 and swap to Mallyx, meaning you'll always use another legend instead of Kalla even on condi builds.

Even if the summons are nice on paper, you need to factor the energy cost, the **cast time** and the fact that people can kill/cc them and you can't move away from them (as well as the enemy). Even on condi builds I'll always prefer Shiro or Jalis with Mallyx. They offer more utility and no dps drop thanks to F3.

Dismount to talk is seriously bullshit.

Fine to dismount for:

Talking

Repairing

Shopping

Gathering

Vistas

But dismounting for the following ones is crap:

Resurrecting

Opening chests

Interacting with mastery points

Same here. Still unable to do story missions. How are you even testing those fixes?

Of course no response from Anet since it's sunday and they launched on a weekend.

same for any other instance creation. It was fine this morning so it's a server load problem.

I can log in but I can't do story missions

how anything different than a flat 50% damage reduction across all skills is going to solve that?

they both need a serious 50% damage reduction across all the top skills. Like they did with Ice Bow 4.

There was a 75k burn tic, did you see it? Most classes take 3 seconds to do that damage, and that was only from the burning.

FFS, I told them countless times before release. How is the balance team worse then a normal player at balancing stuff?

We have Weaver and Firebrand basically shitting on every other class in terms of DPS. They have almost 2 times the dps of other classes.

Dev tracker is uncomfortable, there is no image upload (that strange window asking for and URL doesn't even do anything) and you forgot to link it on every "forum" link on the website.

I need to manually type the address to come here.

welcome to the club. Everyone I know in game (from EU) is having problems. Starting to have stress disorders.

Nice job planning the launch on a weekend, with the highest peak possible of players and the lowest peak possible of devs.

Also nice job on making basically NO beta PERIOD that was worth people's time. By that I mean with progress saved on your actual character.

Don't misunderstand me: I partecipated in all your "stress tests" that you made for half an hour at 2:00 AM, but they were pointless. Nobody gave a crap about them (except a few of us) since progress wasn't saved.

What are you talking about?

Smoothly? Everyone I know is basically starting to have stress disorders because you never know when you'll get a connection error at every story instance or map change.

They could have just done an open beta period with full access and saved progress (that is basically what we are doing now, just shorter) and **launch the game on monday with all the devs and a gradually growing number of players**

I managed to log in after an update, but still I can't eneter any PoF story instance. It's still completely broken.

And now can't even launch the game: https://imgur.com/a/3hdJ8

Build: 82444

Error Code: 58:11:5:535

After trying to get inside a story instance. Loading screen, error and now this from the launcher itself.

Nice, now error code 42:5:7:718:101 every time I try to log in (only with my character in the desert, the others are fine)

New error: I managed to get inside the desert again. When I try to get inside a story instance I now get:

**Code=42:5:7:718:101**

Same. My characters that are NOT on PoF maps are fine. My main that is in Desert Highlights gets infinite screen + Code=7:0:0:1026:101 after a while

Infinite load screen here. Too much load on the servers for the weekend probably.

After 5 minutes: (Code=7:0:0:1026:101)

After 2 hours I confirmed my thoughts from the beta. Aside from new animations and the obvious stun break fix, there were basically no changes in Renegade.

I'll be sticking to my Power Herald that was even buffed for PvE.
