If only they gave us the names of the specs, that would be huge enough for me.

Laptop is fine, it should do good. I used to play on Dell Alienware, i7-7700hq and GTX1070 and it was fine. WvW was not a problem on the lowest settings.

Remember to always make sure the cooling is right though, don't put your laptop on wooden desk etc. if you go for a longer playtime.

Is only a grind when you rush it.

My precisely calculated guess would be early November.

I am torn between whether you're right or I just got worse. I started playing PvP about 2 years ago and got my gold2 after first 10 matches. After around 10 games I was 7 points from plat1 and then the season ended - I still didn't know how seasons worked, I was just learning. The next season I played I also ended up in gold 3 the whole season, reaching plat1 two or three times for a shorter period. The next two seasons was same story, I would always end up in high gold3 and games felt really nice, it was almost never completely one-sided match and I had loads of fun. Then I took a break from PvP and partly from GW2 for few months. I later came back, played around 50 unranked games to get my groove back, I watched some pvp streamers to get a better hang of what changed etc. I decided to play out the first 10 games to see where it lands me and I expected low gold1 or high silver3 atleast. I got placed in high silver1 after winning 6 out of 10 games. It then took me around 80 games to reach 1200 rating and it was a horrible experience, my teams would either win hard or lose hard. It felt like I was getting people who just play pvp for dailies in my team and actual pvpers in enemy team. There were too many games where I won games 4v5 and then have no chance of reaching even 100 points in a game playing 5v5. So I reached low gold1 and then I stayed there balancing between s3 and g1. Games don't feel fun anymore like they used to when I first started playing pvp. And it's hard for me to tell if it's my fault - I got worse - or something is actually going on there. It's probably a l2p issue but since you bring this topic up, I thought I would share my story.

Shouldn't your friend be the one complaining though?

I disagree. Play the game, if you like it without mounts, you will love it with mounts. If you don't like it without mounts, mounts won't change anything.

What kind of mobs are we talking about tho? Because if you mean trash and veterans then there is no significant difference. They all die fast enough.

I play both pdh and condi rene and it's hard to tell which one would I choose since I like both playstyles and both are good.

Three choices:

- find a good duo partner, (hardest one)

- just accept it, (most mature one)

- stop playing. (probably best one)

Had the same thing for few weeks. It got fixed for me with the latest patch. The error says that you can't buy gems right now or something like that.

Yesterday's daily Hound Master was a funny experience.

I found that my game won't start and I have to restart my PC whenever I have internet tab open after pressing Play and before the game starts. I get a black screen and only way out is through straight reset.

No, my argument for reaper not being OP is that it's just not OP because it's not hard to kill and read his actions.

I don't mind them going kinda off the path of profession when making elite specs because after all I think elite specs are here to bring something new, some freshness to the class. Anything they come up with, we will adapt to.

Reapers are hella annoying when you're not careful and get chilled. Not overpowered though, at least in my opinion. They are rather easy to kill because most people don't master it, they just play it because it's kinda easy.

I agree that guilds have lots of potential when it comes to adding new stuff to the game. Right now, guilds lack something that would engage people and bring them together to do something fun. Guild missions aren't too fun, imo.

I wouldn't mind seeing voice chat but make it available for all modes.

It's fun when you don't care whether you win or lose. It's definitely not fun when playing ranked and you see your team 3v1 for straight 2 minutes on a far node. And when you hold a 1v3 for a minute, they do nothing.

> Tbh, it's better to have a reaper with high dmg against you, than having a tempest every kitten game, carrying the opposing team. That class is so frustrating to play against.

I agree with this dude. Reapers you can easily kill. Good tempest is too hard to kill.

Stop with the give everything for free attitude. You want full experience? Buy the kitten game. Can't afford it? Well, probably you shouldn't be playing then.

I mean, yeah because you want to do it for fun. Commanders take this stuff seriously though and mainly play with a goal of actually having proper fights etc. Atleast in my opinion. I saw new commanders quite a few times and more experienced players didn't have mercy on them.

Ok, man........................ Last time I tried in about a year ago on a worse setup. I will give it another shot this week.

If I didn't want whatever stat combination I selected (Viper's I think) it would go into my bank, either with the spare ascended items or with the stuff I'm keeping for literally no reason but nostalgia. Or maybe one of my characters would carry it around, along with the Heroes Band which they all still have in their inventories.

> I don't have a problem with this item not allowing you to change the stats once you've selected them because I know I can just use another ascended amulet instead, but situations like this do remind me that I'd really like a wardrobe for trinkets to save the icons for ones we've unlocked and let us swap them around. I know it would be trivial since it is only the icon (and description) which would change but I'd still like to do it.

Well, yeah. If you like collecting such stuff then I understand. But I strongly disagree with this amulet having swapable stats.

I see where the commander was coming from however you should not feel bad doing events by yourself.

I wouldn't mind seeing them do that or something similar for the first week or two of the new fractal to get more people excited about doing fractals. If it means more people playing fracs ultimately then I would keep it permanently.
