well i was online when it happened, and got thrown off, repeatedly tried to log in, but got thrown off all the time and got error codes. then they finally got the servers up and running again, and I could get back online, then i see, that i lost a new char I had just started, and some of my legendary crafting had been removed. and after all that, I have still not received any mount from Anet, and that is pretty awful, especially when you can read here on the forum as well as on reddit that several players have received 2 or more, of the new mounts, including people who have not been online at all. but such a person as me who was thrown off and lost things and chars gets NOTHING! Awful!

in my opinion the reasons why there are so few players playing raid, is that ArenaNet is still allowing the stupit dps-meter. raid has simply become so terribly toxic, full of players thinking they are better the rest of us, just curse they remember the full fight on a few bosses who always do the same thing, and then they think they are better then all the rest, in all aspects of the game. I personally stopped raiding before wing 4 was released, and have only briefly tried wing 4, and not been in wing 5-7 at all. and i will never come back as long as ArenaNet allows thet all-destroying dps meter, it should be banned, it's just a tool so small toxic elite kids have someone to point fingers at .. I'm so tired of random pug commanders that kick you random and then you ask why, and he then tells, you only do 25k dmg on a build that is benchmarked to do 28k+ and the raid community is so small, that if you do low dps, the commander remember, at dont take you next time. The dps meter is the only reason most people dont play raid, ArenaNet need to bann the dps meter, or eliminate the ability to monitor others, and only seeing their own dps would help a lot. people stay away from raid solo because of toxic elite player who only goes up in what a 3 party dps meter says, it's the only thing that matters to them, it's a tool that gives them people to point out and give blame. and for good measure, whether you have 10k -17k or 25k + dps. it only make the boss dies 5 seconds faster whit high dps. thats all, low dps players is fine in raid, the boss just get down a few seconds slover thats all. if arenanet remove the dps meter. alot of players will come back and new players will dare to try now .. banning the dps meter is the best thing to do for the raid community..

"sorry 4 my bad english, its not my main language" As the headline reads, we got alot of issues between skill descriptions and skill stats. Over the years, ArenaNet has continually changed, buff or nerft skils and traits, and their state, But Never the skill description. and there are now Alot/many skills that do not match their skill description at all. and pretty much All new players, and people trying new classes, They Always Read the skill descriptionfirst, to see what the skill is meant to do, and then look at skill stats and numbers. and especially after the big skill/trait change from February 2020. there is really great discrepancy between skill description and skill stats.here are a few examples ..Thief skill -> Palm Strike -> flavor text -> Do Massive Damage !! But the fact is, it does NO dmg, It got a dmg output of 0.01, the lowest dmg stat ther is, on my lvl 80 thife it does 7 dmg NOT 7K dmg, just 7!! why have a flavor tekst that sound -> Do Massive Damage !!and Another example ..Mesmer skill -> Gravity Well -> flavor text -> Do Heavy Damage !! But the fact is, it does NO dmg, I got a dmg output of 0.01, the lowest dmg stat ther is, on my lvl 80 Mesmer it does 7 dmg NOT 7K dmg, just 7!! why have a flavor tekst that sound -> Do Heavy Damage !!and I could easily find 100 more examples of the same type of skill description error on skills and traits, but no point listing them all, its the same on alot and skill/traits descriptions.can't ArenaNet plz. get an employee to read all the skills and trait descriptions and update them? because it makes the game really confusing, especially for new players who don't know better, who rely on the skills descriptions, a new player who comes in and reads on a skill -> Do Massive Damage !! or Do Heavy Damage !! will not be able to understand why it does no dmg at all!. I see it in map chat almost every day, that people asking for skils they do not understand the connection between description and skill stats. plz update the descriptions, it is so confusing and can ruin the gaming experience for new players ..

"sorry 4 my bad english, its not my main language" As the headline reads, we are all experiencing major problems with gw2 servers and it has been going on for months now. Let me describe my own experience, I have a 100/100 Mbit Fiber connection. I've never lagged in anything, Besides GW2. as soon as I log in and just stand in Character creation or a random city or map.I have an average ping between 130 and 300. And if I log in to a meta map somewhere, my ping rises to 300+and I will be affected by random ping/lag spikes between 3k and 7k. every single day and hour i play, and besides the random lag spikes, we all get skille lag, where your skils only casts after 10-15 seconds after you press them. which makes the game unplayable, and it's been like this for months now, and if I'm brave enough to joine www, and join a zerg, the skill lag ar now up to 20-30 sec (like everyone else). I haven't been able to play a single raid in 2020, when you get thrown out of all the pug groups made up of toxic elite players, when you get a random lag spike og skill cast lag, inside a raid that makes your dps fall, you get thrown out before your skill lag is over. same with fractals, I'm a main fractal player, i play fractal, and has been playing them almost every day for several years, i had the fractal good title since it came out, but due to insane lag and skill spikes I have not been able to complete a single cm fractal in 2020. and before "Arenanet" begin to say the problem is at my end, let's just forget that, it is NOT! a my end the problem is. I have contacted my internet service provider, and asked them to test my connection and I have 0% packed loss between me and my provider, we also tested the connection without a firewall. so your ridiculous standard answer about its "normally" a firewall setting, can you as just forget!! my connection was tested by my provider while i was playing gw2 for 4-5 hours and i had only 1 minimal spike where my packed loss went from 0% to 0.06-0.08% for 1 sec!! Despite that, during those hours I was never below an average ingame ping of 130-300+. Furthermore, over the past month there have been several full maps dc's ingame, where it is not only me, but the entire map that dc's. (for me personally, it "Only" happened 5 times over 8 days. 4 full map dc's under the new drakkar meta, and 1 full map dc's under the raven shrine meta in the same map) but i can understand on other guild members that it also happens often for them. and we can just open gw2-reddit and see the thousands upon thousand of players with the same problem. I attach here a good example, where one tested his whole connection, and found an Amazon server farm with extream packed loss. (https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/fbwx5q/been_getting_lots_of_lag_of_late_in_gw2_looks/)So can Anet's IT department PLZ. do a test of the server you rund the game over, plz. check out the server farms running gw2. for the whole game runs so badly for most people.. or Anets employees can just try to log in 2 the game, and see it for themselves, just try to join a random meta somewhere, or hop in a zerg inside www, or just keep an eye on the various map chats, and see the thousand upon thousand of players that writes in the chat about insane lag and skill spikes, and random dc. i realy Hope its not ncsoft that has forced you to downgrade your servers, just to save money!! Personally, I might have to stop playing gw2, not because I don'tlike it anymore, but simply because it's unplayable due to high ping, extream lag spikes and random 10-30 sec skill lags..Arenanet Plz, for the love of god, test the servers. check the server farm you rent, 2 host the game, ther is insane Packets loss somewhere!!

giant account downgrade !!! everything that used to be fluid and fully automatic is now downgraded to many more Manual Presses !!! example. when i make my dailys ..I start in PVE, then I go into PVP to make the next daily's. now I have to Manually go into my hero panel and switch build from PVE to PVP (this was automatic before) now I'm done inside PVP and going back to PVE, now I'm standing in PVE with my PVP build, so now I have to manually go back into my hero panel again and switch from PVP build back to PVE build. (this was automatic before) later I want to do my WWW daily's so now I jump into WWW with my PVE build, so now I have to manually go back into my hero panel and again switch from PVE build to WWW build (this was automatic before) and when I am done with my WWW dailys and return to PVE, I now have to manually go back into my hero panel and switch from WWW build back to PVE build. (this was automatic before) so everything that used to be fluid and running completely automatically has now been downgraded to a lot of manual push!! giant account downgrade !!! Furthermore, Anet is so naughty to say that we get 3 free slots. No we get 0 free slots, what we realy ar getting, are the slots we already had which were automatic, which has now just been downgraded to a terrible manual thing!! huge account downgrade !! so if thing remains like this, wher you are forced us to make a lot of manual changes alle the time, from within our hero panel, every time you change game mode, which has always been automatic.it will definitely cause a lot of players to stop completely, because this downgrading account, ruins your entire gaming experience as we are now downgraded to manual actions all the time !! personally, this will be a stop with gw2 for me, if it remains like it is now. this account downgrade from automatic to manual is under all criticism .. furthermore, the price is a disgrace without equal, what a joke!. (but it's not Anet's mistake, it's NCsoft. Again killing a game like so many times before)

Mine has all reset. What hasn't reset for you? all my items were CORE stats where chosen, didn't get reset..

when Anet failed to reset all of our equipment, they said on their live stream and forum, that they would reset All the equipment that failed in the first attempt as quickly as possible. has Anet just chosen to ignore this, or ??

Anet Can you Plz. be kind enough to answer all of us confused players here in the chat, whether all the items you have "Forgotten" to reset, ar you planning to reset all the missing items soon, or not?

Anet Can you Plz. be kind enough to answer all of us confused players here in the chat, whether all the items you have "Forgotten" to reset, ar you planning to reset all the missing items soon, or not?

It is nice of you to allow us to multi-box in some aspect of the game, but you have removed our options of using multi-box. Anet plz undo this horrible mistake you have made and allow us to use Launchbuddy again

this is one of the worst things they have done for a long time and is of great concern to all of us with several accounts, this is one thing that might make me stop using gw2, for i really don't want to use all my gaming hour to write codes constantly
