Sure now you tell me lol :)

I was so excited to see one drop from a festival crate. I dropped it in the infusion slot on my cape, it doesn't have any effect on the cape, just the body and armor. Then I thought, maybe my capes are not eligible for the effect and bought the Ice Reaver cape I've had my eye on. In the BLTP preview it looked like it worked with the infusion effect. So I converted gold to 500 gems and bought it. No joy again, the infusion has no effect on it. So I read up and finally decided to use an infusion extractor and removed it and sold it for 40g. I'm not trying to complain or ask for refunds, just bringing it up so it is known in case it's a bug. The infusion itself is pretty cool, I love capes and was bothered seeing it not match everywhere I went lol (from behind hard not to miss). So the devs have a full picture I tried the first cape they added to the BLTP, Ruriks, and the Ice Reaver.

Hope this helps, even if only by giving others a heads up, so they don't go through what I went through. :)

Ok... *sigh*

Is there a way to overwrite the image and change it from the POF background?

Update: ran Shiverpeaks, Voice of fallen, Faenir of Jormag, and Cold War today. They were all fine. :)

I just finished my Ascended armor I had Zojjas chest, picked up shoulders, boots, helm, gloves from shards dropping in strikes. Got anxious after the failures today and crafted the leggings, even thoughi have 133 red prophet shards lol

> I wasn't asking about composition although that can have a big impact on DPS. In my experience with a typical "decent" run at least 4 or 5 of the people should be doing 10k+ while very good runs having people doing more than twice that especially for voice/claw. That is what I meant by group DPS.

Very nice, thank you. I hope it was just one of those days. Sometimes you get the bear... sometimes he gets you and your little dog too.. lol

Exact makeup I couldn't say, we split into to squads, healer in each etc.. for Voice. I actually hope it was just a bad day. I like the runs, and right now even look forward to the distraction. I just finished my Ascended armor I had Zojjas chest, picked up shoulders, boots, helm, gloves from shards dropping in strikes. Got anxious after the failures today and crafted the leggings, even thoughi have 133 red prophet shards lol

I have run strikes everyday since they were added. Some here may know me from my daily runs to Shiverpeaks, Voice, Faenir, and Cold war (pugs). We have our ups and downs but we get them done. Today, group seemingly of decent players, almost wiped in Shiverpeaks >.<. Voice, tried twice, at different times, we couldn't get gold. Is it just my luck today or did they change something accidently or on purpose? (Please spare me the "Get good" remarks, unless you can explain what is wrong :) )

Sorry for the late reply, life got in the way. Thank you for the info :)

I'm tired of wasting points. My main is Power Necro, Reaper.

Thanks!

Chose blood legion for comm use, nothing changed with helm.

Cannot preview before choosing or after. Even though it shows all 3 styles being added to wardrobe they do not show up in the wardrobe? Also once in inventory you cannot put it on? Is choosing a faction required? If so it should kick an error saying so?

Well let's see, it's only been a day but.. Love the scenery, the constant action, Strike is lots of fun, and oh.. what else.. NEW TREES for Guild Hall. I am really excited.. (you could tell right?). Dwayna bless your Art Department! I haven't decided if I will wait for voice acting to be added in, or not. Still going like I always do, and following my nose. I'm really enjoying just wandering around, and beleive it or not, the added peril for winged mounts (no gonna spoil it) is really adding a nice sense of realism. For my part, I am loving the new Chapter. Won't lie, no voices in camp reminds me of the peril in real life. But that has to be for now. Thank you for this, the distraction is much appreciated.

> I'm no longer in a Guild and whilst I would always recommend them for new/returning players, I don't feel like I'm missing out by not being in one. I'm not sure that's how it should be

(Obligatory statement) I've played since launch, and about a year into the game Guilds seemed to stop serving a purpose. With being able to join up to 5 guilds, there is no loyalty or devotion to any one guild.

Is this a dead issue or has there been any glimmer of hope they will rework the Guild Missions and/or rewards? As is, I can't even get new players interested in them. This coupled with no interaction in the guild has me feeling like Guilds are Vault access and gathering hubs only. Otherwise they could drop guilds and many wouldn't care? We have players joining ours regularly but they rarely interact, etc..

Thoughts?

I ran a dnsflush and things seem fine now.

I ran a Tracert to guildwars2.com, from hop 13 to 15, 17 to 30 it timed out. If Anet wants to see the entire tracert send me a pm and I'll attach a screen of it. I'm in the NE part of the USA.

> Great joke there...are there more than 5 people in your Guild that even want to go into the GH at once? Legit question because I've been in a GH with 20 people.

Well we're currently at 117. But I understand the question. I've put in countless hours and thousands of gold decorating our guild hall. All 3 levels (Guilded Hollow). Myself and our Guild Scribes have crafted areas for Norn, Sylvari, Charr, and Asura. We used to do more together as a guild, but I am working on and trying anything I can think of to get those days back. Best of luck to us both!

Side note: in a game called GUILD wars, the guild system is truly forgotten it seems. As a leader I cannot message the guild by email, I cannot silence someone having a bad day, I cannot do anything to deal with problems, all I can do is ignore it our kick them out. The guild system is not efficient in any way shape or form. But after 7 years, I doubt anything changes now.

IKR, I avoided the pun, but it wasn't easy lol

While we're at it, can they increase map population in the gh to 50, instead of 5? Anytime we have a guild get together, we have to keep changing maps. It's really annoying. :(

No offense to the voice actors but many here might be surprised at how many play the game with the voices off. Some want skip added to cutscenes. We'll have voices back soon enough. The video was touching, and I especially liked hearing a Charr voice being motivational. And of course the voice of reason from a fellow Sylvari :)

I think what may be effecting some badly is they see this as just one more negative another let down during the pandemic. We all look forward to each release and a new chapter in the story unfolding. One less positive if you let it be so. One silly and fun thing to do could be form groups, get on discord, run the missions and use your own voices to fill in the missing ones. :)
