Roughly 3.5 per bag.

I don’t see the point in restricting how funds are used as there are ways around it. Let’s say you have a $20 monthly subscription and you want it to go directly to sPvP. Anet could reallocate their existing budget to reduce how much of their existing dollars goes to sPvP by $20 and then use your subscription to cover that gap. In the end, they’d have $20 to do with as they please.

This has been requested since probably 2014 so the chances of that are very unlikely. Players with this item on a low cool down would have no reason to buy those boosters from the store.

And what you can continue to keep doing as the limitations are there for a reason.

Those rewards are long term rewards and not really meant to be done in a single festival although it’s entirely possible to do.

Ok. “Open world” to me means non-instanced which was why I was asking.

“Open world” dungeons?

Then get off the mount. With swiftness, you’re only missing out on an extra 16% movement speed. Surely not an issue while refreshing your boosters.

If you’re looking for fights then you can use the gobbler as you’re doing that. You don’t have to be standing still to use it nor do you have to be standing around for the duration of its cooldown. You can also use the gobbler when you’re on your way to objectives.

You do. I seriously doubt that you don’t have a second of downtime throughout your farm session. Downtime being when you’re not attacking something. Even during lab, which is probably the farm in the game with the most attacking, there’s plenty of downtime to maintain buffs.

It has some uses although it’s not all that useful for general usage.
-
Any plans to stick to commenting about the arguments being made and countering them instead of attacking people? It makes your side weak when you do that.

If someone is to be reported for engaging in the costume brawl then those trading “wins” should be reported for manipulation.

> That's not quite correct . For the first time around . Each Triumphant Hero's armour (tier 2 Ascended ) piece can only be bought once the equivalent Triumphant armour (tier 1 exotic ) piece has been unlocked through the Triumphant armour reward track. . You must acquire the T1 exotic before you can buy the T2 . Each Mistforged Triumphant Hero's armor (tier 3) piece can only be bought once the equivalent Triumphant Hero's armor (tier 2) piece has been purchased . T2 must be purchased to unlock T3 before you can purchase T3 . So yes you need Grand Master Marks to buy T2 before you can buy the T3 . But thankfully you only need to do this once per piece per armour set ( light ,Medium ,Heavy ). Once every thing is unlocked You can then you can skip directly to T3 for your second as long as it has been unlocked . For example : if you unlock T3 light armour only you can not purchase T3 Heavy unless it is also unlocked .
> Only T3 and T2 can be converted to legendary . T3 looks a little different than T2 but not necessary for the legendary .
You're missing the fact that the T2 is also in exotic which only requires tickets.

They are designed to be challenging. In order for something to be challenging, there has to be risk of failure. This is something very rarely encountered in PvE.
There's nothing wrong with various content having its own self-contained story.

The DPS would still have been superhigh to still only have 1 Pillar per phase. But instead of first trying the boss with a safe setup they wasted so much time with their speedkill setup and had a lot of unneccessary wipes and that only because they chose DPS over more sustain.

What's your experience with raids?
The DPS killing themselves to retal is because they were greeding DPS. The dragonhunters should have popped litany if they were to going to do that. Boonstrip isn't necessary. Those with that setup may have been trying to do a speed clear so going to a more defensive comp would have defeated the purpose.
What I find hilarious is that you blame snowcrows for this when this isn't even the comp listed on their website.

You can use it during the downtime. You can also use it as you're farming instead of standing around and waiting during the cool down. That’s what I always did when I farmed Lab or anywhere else.
You have to also realize that these are gem store boosts that you’re getting very cheaply.

> I did a few tests in Thunderhead Peaks and what I found is puzzling. my usual ping is 70-80ms but while waiting at the door to the keep I got spikes between 180 and 230ms. The spikes were sudden and made no sense because although I went there when the meta was active game wide, I went 5 minutes later so there was no meta running on my map. Going from 70-80 to 180-230 is very very noticeable, which **reinforces my belief that those saying they don't experience any lag spikes, actually do.**
I’ve watched the ping in game and tracked it on Pingplotter at the same time. No spikes. I’ve done this numerous times for that map and others over the course of the past several months.

I've farmed a legendary armor and the ring. There's really nothing you can do to speed things up except for hopping around maps to maintain the outnumbered buff. It's usually the second largest source of pips by the time I hit the weekly cap.
As far as maintaining participation, it depends on how much effort that you want to put into it. The lowest effort would be to repair Stonemist Castle every 10 minutes assuming your server owns it and another server is trebbing the outer wall. Escorting a yak every 5 minutes is low effort and credit for it is based on how long you participated in it.
You can also flip a camp every 10 minutes. If you go that route, it's best to not aggro anything there until the Righteous Indignation buff on the Veteran Supervisor is gone as well as stacking in certain locations in order to pull the scouts together so they can be quickly killed. If you're proficient enough, you should be halfway to capping it by the time it shows as contested on the map. This minimizes the chances that a enemy will come to that camp unless they were already planning on going there anyway.

I never had to spend that much time to get the boons that I needed. I just used it again and got almost two hours of the XP boost within the first 102 candy corn.

Why are you going through that many in such a short period of time?
-
Changing the drop rate isn't going to make the events any more popular. The map has been out for over six years. The only ones who would do that are newer players. Of those, the number of players would be smaller as there's really no reason to do it beyond obtaining the 50 AP. There are better ways to get an ascended armor piece and there are more than enough other options to get a mastery point. You can also argue that increasing the drop rate reduces the need for players to come to that map even quicker as they'll abandon it once they've gotten their rewards.
-
If you need to double personal sustain then it’s a player skill issue and it would be more efficient to work on that so you don’t need it. Running builds off SC hardly requires players to make no mistakes.

You can even easily verify this in game.
It's also been confirmed by numerous people on the forums over the bast few years that the T3 availability is based on unlocking the T2 skin. Both the exotic and the ascended share the exact same skins. People have also verified that unlocking the exotic skin unlocked the option to purchase the T3 armor.
Oh. I missed this as well until I re-read your post. You told me to look at the skirmish supervisor wiki page. Guess what?
