Also, the frequent need to change between mounts, which per se can get quite frustrating, isn't helped either with this additional level of annoyance. Constantly being forced to dismount and fight is really getting on my nerves by now. Maybe you can tone it down a little? > > I agree,,, and sand eels right at the start of Path of Fire will pursue you up and down pyramids, stumps, rocks, and then jump right at you... there is no peace, you stop for a minute to have a pee and literally get bitten on your bum by something. There is a challenge and then there is madness. The Forged are just hell and fury, it makes me literally faint knowing I have to go anywhere near their grounds, knowing it is going to be pointless trying to sneak past them. There was one bit in the personal story where you had to rescue one of the Order of Whispers' own and the town guards had a blue ring showing around them, a clever way to know how far you should walk past them to avoid detection... Maybe something like that is too much for all areas of the game. > > But yes, Path of Fire does not even let you warm to the story, from sand eels and Choyas > right at the beginning, you cannot even figure out where you are that you are relentlessly pursued and your mount killed. > > Some players will say it is perfectly normal, no problem, what exactly are you complaining about, etc. Each to their own. Clearly some of us have a different experience of the game. Maybe it is time to tone it down or make it proportional to the number of people on the map sector at any one point... I.e. if two players go past, have three sand eels, but if one goes past, maybe have just one... I don't know what I am saying. I will go back in my little hole and hope those eels and sand lions can go past without too much trouble - but this sand always up my nose is bound to make me sneeze, and... oh no... they are coming... LOL > You do know that the poster above you necroed a almost 3 half year old thread right? And path of fire were 90% in war zones bettwen 3 forces so it should feel chaotic. Pretty sure the armies have disturbed the wild animals habitat so they lash out at anything.

If you just come back why only level 20 or did you delete all your characters when you left?

The Moon Fortress (Gandara) was so underwhelming too, invisible walls everywhere, boring enemies (nothing new), indeed one of the worst maps of Season 3 (the worst?) > > > > Jahai itself is not a bad map. The incursions are unique, the blending of different areas with the mists is also unique, the map itself is varied. We also got a new world boss in Death Branded Shatterer although it's weird that unlike other meta events, the pre-events for Shatterer aren't needed to progress. Weird but good imo, looking at the mess of Drakar where they combined pre and boss in one timer. The only underwhelming (or perhaps a better word is overhyped) part of Jahai is the Sunspear Sanctuary. At least we got Eye of the North, which is what Sunspear Sanctuary should've been like. Which parts of the map do you find unfinished???? > > > > Combining them isn't really an option as they exist on different episodes and they'd need a massive rework. The way living world maps work is that they separate, so certain ideas and mechanics can work. For example, if they are combined, why would we see brandstorms and rifts only in the Jahai part and not Kourna? > > Wasn’t it Season 4 or am I missing something? Yes this thread is talking about two season 4 episodes new/old players still play those mate.

I thought stacking was when you used the same kind of infusion to get a bigger effect. This looks more like random infusion combine with Delrimore as base.

malidictus still play i think

This will decrease the rarity of legendaries to a level below Basic.

We're talking about multiple thousends of gold that alot of ppl spend to craft legendary stuff for all of their professions. > I would be amazed if this happened. I requested refund for 7 of my 8 Copper-Feds during shared inventory release, and that was an indisputable no-no. Well legendaries cost alot more then ascended so you wont go crafting 7 greatswords 1 for each class that can use it.

> @"Randulf.7614" said: > There also living story 4 which needs purchasing. You only get these for free when you login during each episode release window. > > Yes Anets marketing is terrible. All this has been explained to them many times that it needs clearer writing in their website when ordering Dont forget season 2 and 3.

I have very little money. But I dont know if anything in my gear is uniform, so that's an option. Its a core stat set so shouldent be that expensive. If you done events in verdant brink you can buy most of your armor from there with resources you get from that map and select dire or the glassy viper if you feel confident. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bladed_armor Edit Maybe this video can give you some tips

> @"mercury ranique.2170" said: > I would not get your hopes up. Mounts are PoF content. PoF will turn free to play when EoD will arrive and everything there will not get any update except gemstore stuff. EoD will concentrate on new content and mechanics. It will not HoT is still not free to play mate. What I think you mean is that all expansions will be baked into EoD purchase. We are not sure of that either since it took afew years for HoT to be baked in with PoF

Maybe check build and go condi tempest with dire equipment if your having problems?

And the issue was so others with same problem can be helped when stumbling on your post?

uhm dont those unlock for all weights? if not spvp or wvw reward track might help

Players will never have all the same tastes, but they can focus on what players that play the game a lot of time want (players where they get most of the money from) . And i suppose you are saying that anet wont do this while you would like it, am I right? > They changed it at release it was a 5 man dungeon instance. Yes there was alot of complaints that their story ended with a party instance.

Why would a stone infusion make you black instead of grey like stone?

Yea when game update and gemstore change so do the statuette merchant, last change was the 19th of January. You seem to be in luck, unlike other things this seem to come around 1-2 times a year.

Are you talking about the legendary backpack gliders?

Well that do look like an oversight for sure, since no other effects show there losing the one that do seem odd.

> @"JUN YANG.4328" said: > ah.. i dont even know have such thing as diminishing returns. thanks for letting me know. > what if everytime i use different parked character to do the event. is it going to work? thanks Not if its parked no it will be the same after a few times. You have to go do something else to reset it every day if you want to make sure to always get it mate. Easiest as I said is just join wvw and play there and do some dailies or just capture 2-3 objectives.

You hit diminishing returns if you have a character parked on the map and only do leyline anom everyday Take character into wvw and capture afew camps, sentrys or other dailys each day and it will reset the DR.

They do give a combined/cumulative effect hence why the effect change. Or do you mean something else that's not cumulative?

The end for core story was story mode of the dungeon Arah, players dident like that they all of a sudden had to group to finish story so I doubt Anet will make that mistake again.
