That's what the OP needed in order to keep the intended function of the group _they_ created (namely what was stated in LFG: beginners run) and not be kicked out of their own party. Yes but that could also be abused by party leader forcing people to finish if they dont want to start over from scratch. Rather have it like now when you need majorty people to be safe instead of dictatiorship.

So like party leader but instance dont close if they leave.

The whole server had problems at that time OP

The login servers are borked as well.

Yes they are down same as last patch, you think they would have fixed it

Well woodenpotatoes did a no skill 1-80 personal story.

But you are not the center of the universe. It matters to people who like story and aesthetics in their games. Many do. You are free to care about whatever you want. But blanket statements like that doesn't belong in matters of preferences and opinions. > > > > Combat tonic and switch class pof you got all 3 of your criterias right there > > No. Story doesn't. The fact that every race had a lengthy story arc unique to that race was a core strength of the game when it launched. The stories had different tones and feelings, and you hopefully understand that atmosphere is important for immersion, and immersion is important for enjoying the story. I think people want a new race because 1. it would also mean a new area for them 2. Novelty and more story. 3. The wombo combo would be a new race AND class. > Of course, neither is likely to happen. The whole expansion is a new areas for everyone, why lock down some of that for a new race that everyone wont make use off?

Barring that, at the very least there should be an PvE armor set obtainable through methods similar to gen1/gen2 leg weapons. > > Making the only PvE legendary armor locked behind a niche content was definitely a bad decision in the first place. > Wvw is a pve zerg way of getting legendary armor. Some mobs are just smarter since there are real players behind them.

> @"Firebeard.1746" said: > Raid rewards used to be better if you repeated and then they nerfed them hard. I think more raw cash would be okay. maybe 50s-1g. Got a source for this because I dont remember any nerf to raid rewards.

> @"Rauderi.8706" said: > > @"Cromx.3941" said: > > Yep this game chases away tons of new comers because of the abusive CC mechanics and ridiculous amount of one shotting that goes on. There is way too much damage going back and forth between mobs and players and it completely destroys the entire defensive side of the equation, which dumbs down the game dramatically. The only thing that really matters is active defenses and dodging. Which comes off as gimicky. Either you get with it and stack only offensive stats and try to burn enemies to the ground before they do this stuff or you find another game. Its a huge problem with this game. All of this stuff makes the game very shallow and eliminates most stat combinations and many build configurations as a result. A lot of wasted time ands effort went into designing things that will never be used. > > This x a lot. > I can appreciate the skill ceiling for the game, but many enemies in the game have offense that exceeds the players' tools to mitigate them. We're expected to somehow carry multiple stunbreaks (which easily get chewed through), stability/blocks/aegis not available to all classes, and still have stats and skills lined up for might/fury/quickness/alacrity lined up for damage. No your expected to side step alot of those stuns.

> @"Fenom.9457" said: > Asking to swap different sets will never happen, however this is just more support to my belief we need more options! Why do we not have a general pve Armor set, or even competitive ones that don’t share skins with their ascended versions. If you want armor that is TRULY legendary, you HAVE to get into raids which is really crappy. Seriously, even a single option more, anet... cmon... The OP want the skins not the armor tho.

You are saying you have not done cold war 10 times since its released yet? You dont have to do it in one sitting.

You wait for someone to revive you.

All I can say we need the Thumbs down button back.

> @"VocalThought.9835" said: > I see people complaining about Tengu's armor, story, and voice lines. I think all of these are easy to work out. Yes it's going to take time and money, but it's not impossible. I say, just do the darn thing. If they can create mounts in this game, they can create a race. No one is asking for perfection, but with game like this, they can always make improvements with each future game update. Yes it will cost time and money, neither of those Anet will be able to earn back. People against a new race would rather see time and money go to something else they might enjoy.

Attempting to adjust a character’s story progress introduces a wide variety of bugs across various content and game systems. We investigated different solutions for partial and full story resets. In all cases, the changes led to unpredictable results in many different content types, including permanent blocking of story progress. > Technically you would never reset a characters personal story though in an automated race change as the character would be a new character. > > Sigh we've been over this so many times... > > The ONLY thing that your character has that's unique to that character is two simple things - the name and gemstore unlocks. Soulbound items? Garbage, can be deleted. Account bound items? Dump them in the bank. The personal story? Well that's the old race, it wont exist. Doing a race change is restoring the name and gemstore unlocks. That's it. Nothing more. We can do this today on the name part, but not the gemstore unlocks. Which *of course* is how Anet like it, they want you to buy upgrades, not maintain that "main". > > Because a "race change" in GW2 is a **new character**. Voila, your personal story was reset! A "race change" isnt magic. > > Aint more complicated than that. So then buy a new character slot to go with that character ( I have 19 of em myself) Voila you still have all gemstore unlocks and personal story can be done without problems.

Adding the colour channels is one step, and this one they did only for new backpacks, that's true. At the same time however adding just mere _capability_ of posessing colour channels is also a step that had to be done, and required a rework. Basically, all the old backpacks also had to be reworked into the new model even if they weren't to be making full use of it. > > > > > > _Think of it like migrating from one proprietary file format to another, that offers more options. **Even if old files would not be enhanced with those new options**, they would still need to be converted to the new format._ Except in the case of data files we usually can automate the process. > > > > So your saying here is anet can have all backpacks with color channels they just refuse to do so? > > Instead of having old backpacks gen 1 new backpacks gen 2 like i understand it and the two cant mix? > > > > Maybe we should start demanding them flip the switch then since they are already in the system and can be dyed by your statement. > That's not how it works. > > Again, i'll give you an example, since you seem to have not understood the previous one (i marked it in the quote for better visibility). > > Think about some old digital image file format, that does not support colour - all the data that is there is just whether the pixel is "lit" (black), or not (white). At some point you decide to start using images with colour. That requires moving to a new format, which supports this, so, you go and _convert the old pictures to the new format_. > That does **not** mean those pictures will suddenly stop being black and white though - for that you would need someone to add that colour to them first. > > > Old backpacks were _converted_ to the new format, but they did not have the colour channels added. First step required a lot of work, but the second step would require even more - which is why they skipped on it. Now, it probably means if they ever felt the need to add colour channels to a specific old backpack, they _could_ do so, but doing that to all of them is quite unlikely. > > And, as i pointed out, there are way, way more weapons than there are backpacks. Or they have 2 formats new and old we dont know.
