Ayrilana.1396

The thing is that I tried that mission again the the hit boxes felt different from when the episode was first released. It was entirely possible to solo it and having a group would let you get the achievement with ease back then. Anet may have broken something which isn't surprising. What also wouldn't be surprising is if this never got fixed.

I looked at the achievement "buff" and it's supposed to give credit when entering Fissure of Woe. You're right that it doesn't show the achievement as I thought it was briefly shown after the cutscene of Kralk falling.

Ayin Maiden got the achievement in her video. Hers is probably the first video listed.

Warclaw was developed solely for WvW, even though they never asked for it, and is inferior to every other mount in PvE. I wouldn’t consider a players desire to have it as a hard requirement to being forced to do WvW. Even then, the amount of time they have to spend on WvW maps for that collection is fairly limited; perhaps a couple hours.

Why do they need the warclaw if they’re not going to do WvW?

There really weren’t any rewards. It was just excluded from having additional rewards added which was the skirmish reward track.

EotM died when they removed the ability to gain XP there are the majority of players used it to level up their characters. This was over a year before skirmish reward tracks.

A player admitted to doing it already.

Lag can exist between the client and server. If not all players are affected, including those who may be standing right next to you while you’re experiencing lag, it’s likely that it’s not the servers.

Them trying to improve performance on their end isn’t admitting that the issue is actually on their end. Especially when the specifically stated that there are a large number of factors which can cause lag and they’re working with players to identify the underlying causes.

No it doesn’t. Trying to do what they can on their end doesn’t mean the issue is on their end.

Nowhere in what you linked, just as I stated before, does Anet mention that the issue is on their end.

A TCP connection, which the game uses, is very different from the connection you'd use to visit various websites as well as do any ICMP pings. The game requires a stable, constant connection while those day-to-day tasks you mention do not.

Like the roads and streets, no single route will take you everywhere. Just because the route to X and Y are fine, this does not mean the route to Z is the same. Servers are located all across the world and the ISPs route the connection from your home to your destination. Generally the more distance you have to cover, the greater the latency. If you're in Idaho, the latency to a server in Seattle will be considerably less to a server in Florida.

This is why pinging other websites doesn't really mean all that much.

I'd go for Mursaat over Cairn. Players can run into issues with Cairn if they don't get to a green and/or if those with agony stack on the group. Mursaat requires little movement so it's basically just a DPS golem.

That's like checking traffic to drive to Best Buy or the Apple Store and then expecting the bus ride to Target to have no issues.

> @"SexyMofo.8923" said:

> Should be banned for RMT.

RMT is selling GW2 gold or items for real world money. Listing 300K gold in bids for mystic coins doesn't come anywhere close to that.

It's not against the rules to manipulate prices on the TP.

Did you take a level 35 character with the traits and test it against a level 80 character down-scaled to level 35? Did you ensure that all other items that could increase the stat were removed from both characters when comparing so that you were looking solely at what the traits were adding?
