Apocaly.2786

Well, do we get the title, if we participated in these stucked ATs? .. I do not have the time to participate in that many ATs and am kinda sad now, that the one i tried to participate in won't work. :(

Okay, I found a go around.. you just need to do the other rifts.. eventually u'll get one twice, so the missing one from earlier does not matter.

Heyo,

I attempted to do the different rifts with my skyscale, but sadly some of them seem bugged. For example the one starting at "Luminates Plant" does not have a rift at the end, making it impossible for me to get the achievement done. Does anyone know a go around to these bugs? I'd appreciate the help.. or a fix from anet! :D

Rampage is a great trial run for that philosophy and worked marvelously. Reduced the kitten "one click insta win" effect and yet kept its relevant status as an elite skill.

Agggreeed. Nothing to add. :)

Somehow i agggreee. But then again: "anticipation" is nothing but guessing and therefor not really skillfull gameplay. It is like dodging steal - possible, but still just per guessing.

Changing the distortion like that would be kinda logical. Same for the dodge while hard CC... and i think like 2 cap Illusion would be fine, but then again this would apply for pve aswell and possibly kill the spec there.

I aggggggggrreeeeee. Nothing else to say. :)

Loading screens are + 1500% :) seems really improved, i can relogg in the morning when i go to work and maybe, just maybe it logged back into another map when i return from work. :)

I'd like to have someone communicating, saying they work on this issue at least. :) ... Even tho i did a lot of all achievements of each living world-episode, i skipped brandstone research and now need it for the legendary item... it would be nice not to wait 4 years with a hotfix, or at least just create an item you can buy for idk 200 kralk ore .. to get the step in the achievement.. =(

EDIT: I removed my former question. :)

I think you should do more changes, that are actually relevant. For **mesmer **f.e.:

1. Scepter: Reduce the power-dmg-modifier of #3, nerf condi on Scepter Ambush skill like u do with axe, maybe increase the CD of the block on #2

2. Mirage-Dodge: Apply a general 1sec Exhaustion or 2sec maybe for using an ambush skill

3. revert the cooldown change for Signet of Inspiration for PvP/WvW since its used for Invul with blurred inscriptions.. so less cooldown is actually better

4. remove all target-breaking-abilities

in general i would say u should remove the mirage dodge completly and let them do normal dodges - just create a 5-7sec cd f5-skill (like continuum split on chrono) to activate ambush interval without using a dodge

i dont know, that are some change comming into my mind now, guess there can be more

** [These are my personel thoughts and i do not expect people to follow them] **

Ele is, even with sword, one of the best DPS-classes.... :) Dont expect to be a master in sth u didnt even try to learn for more than 5min. :)

I want that outfit! :( :( :( :( :( :( :( It's the only oufit i ever wanted since the clothing-tonic change. :( And now i cannot get it anymore as an EU-pleb? :((( Please just put it into gemstore fro idk 20k gems, I'll buy it then... :((

The original post only says the sweepstakes is limited to US residents only. They are not talking about the outfit tho. Even the statement of KFT is not saying anything about being restricted to US only. They were just talking about stoppoing the Outfit-Code completly for now. Not even once mentioned that they will only activate it for US somewhen again. So technically as EU ppl we still should be able to get this.

Where did u find this information? :(

I am searching for a possibility to get this outfit since the clothing-tonic-change. I even prepared tons of gold to buy it in trading post until I noticed it was the only accountbound tonic. I really hope KFT will enable us to get the rewrds again. :( :( :(

Btw.: The promotion is for all people. Not just NA. Some of my EU friends already got it before the "shutdown".

Core mesmer does not do well, unless you are playing versus bots or afk-players. :)

As mentioned before... I do not think, that this is a real issue in PvP. There are far greater Problems like Balancing, wintrading or even bugs, that gives you 20min dishonor when trying to change characters before a match and make your team fight 4v5, because you cannot enter the match anymore (game did not start yet when this happens...even relogging to original character does not help, had this twice).

Like it. Rip phantasm Mesmer for raids ofc, but for my Power mesmer wvw roaming.. this seems fun. ppl need to adapt to new things i guess... we ll see how the traitchanges, etc. will work out, but for now, i do like it :)

After trying to make an offer for rodgort-precursor ... i accidantly did it twice and wanted to remove one... it s gone from TP now.. but i did not receive my gold back. :( .. one offer is still in there and i m afraid of taking it back or doing anything.. xD hope, i ll get my 212 gold back :)

EDIT: The TP just needed 2h. It is fine.. xD
