I don't think this lighting change is intentional right now. Asked about it in guild and most folks didn't have it happening with their game. But it might be something they are working on for the future. Maybe the whole engine upgrade. The only places that are darker for me thus far, are places not in direct sunlight. Became super noticeable in The Silverwastes, while going through the map. The underground areas and the boss room are all noticeably darker then they use to be. While some areas are a bit too dark and I like when I am able to see clearly. And some places seem to bug out going from darker with some light, to straight all lights off. I overall like it. Went to the Ley-Line WP in TD and it looked amazing. I mean before all the lights seemed to just disappear when I ported around right quick and then came back. But a simple character swap fixed that.

I mean I'm buying the base version which is nothing but 30. Even if I were to compare other games I could buy at that price. I know full well that I will spend more time in GW2, then I would with whatever I would buy otherwise. I had no higher expectations then more content from the get go. After all this time, I still enjoy the game as is. So new stuff is a straight bonus. Plus I NEED that necro elite hat.

Of course you would have the same types of people other places. Folks don't disappear and then reappear for Twitch alone. But certain environments breed certain behaviors. And there is a very distinct feeling to Twitch and how people act on it. So it very much has to do with being on Twitch. There’s nothing distinct about it. If they streamed on YouTube, you’d have the same thing. People with anonymity will say whatever they want as there won’t be any repercussions. I've seen many YouTube stream chats, I've seen many Twitch chats. Not even remotely on the same level. Maybe in time but no.

I simply want more content. But I have no personal attachment to this Cantha place.

Because this community isn't a monolith. It's not all sunshine and nice people...... plus it's Twitch.

Negative. If you want a pre, get it like everyone else. Craft, buy, or sacrifice a goat to RNGesuz like the rest of us. Someone having an account that old, doesn't mean they were actually around for that long. Got guild mates with almost double my account age, with a fraction of the playtime or investment. If we rewarding dedication. I'm sure a number of not as old people, would be trumping some older accounts.

How? I hear this "but my work is worth nothing" so often and I never get an answer to why this should be the case? You got your legendary armor with that. You got what you were working for. If you didn't like wvw and did it anyway that's only your problem. GW2 started with the promise not to have a gear grind and WvW is the worst way to get gear or gold. So either you did this, because you played WvW anyway or you really have a serious problem with compulsion because of wanting to be recognized. What do you mean "How?" Is the difference between 500 vs 2000 somehow lost on you? People are miffed about going the distance to get something, then Anet retroactively invaliding whatever time they had to put in, for next to no reason. If that is difficult to understand, I don't know what to tell you. Also read the title of the thread. This is not about legendary armor. You could already make a full set before even hitting the 2k target. This is about the final tier set. Double also! What does what GW2 started with, have to do with anything? Whatever they started with, obviously ain't what they ended with, cause last I checked, you have to put in work for a lot of shiny things.

You might want to double check the logical consistency of your statement. If ANET is concerned with participation numbers, why reduce the quantity of time required to obtain a prestige reward? That would be a counter-productive change (but still inline with ANET's "philosophy" on anything) To me it doesn't make less logical sense, it makes more ,because if you can't get people in the door their playtime in the mode is going to be 0 regardless. I suppose this change it to make the door seem more enticing. The item is now more realistically achievable thus more likely to get people in in the first place. The same follows for the argument "you think people will stick around?" The more people in the door the more people likely to stay after getting their item. Then you reduce some of it. You realign the ranks. You add new rewards. Hell add anything new. Not flat out reduce the entire lineup to 1/4th of what it was. We've already gone through this song and dance. Things done here and there to entice folks to wvw. And yet, here we are again. Except this time, they completely removed that long term gate. So when wvw looses players after they get what they want faster, and it will like every other time. Then what? Anet has done another thing, while removing a big long term thing. So when we go full circle as usual. We come out with less.

So you made a personal choice to do things that grant less exp. That's a you issue. Now I can admit that 2k was high. But that was the plateau set for a specific set of skins. You could already get ascended armor at lower levels for cheaper to begin with. Even use that same gear to upgrade to legendary. That 2k rank was for something else specifically. If you don't want to grind, then don't grind. You weren't magically locked out of getting gear if you never hit that high.

I'll support this only if they add a "Are we there yet?" action, in place of where the normal mount engage skill would be. Bonus points if it cycles through a few different ways to ask the question, on a minimum cooldown of 3 seconds.

Actually a bit sad about this. Thought it was going to be a full reset.

My thoughts are yay. Have a few left over trinkets and back pieces, with stats I no longer use/selected back when I had no idea what I was doing, but didn't want to get rid of. I kept them on the off chance something like this ever happened. Welp, it's happening.

While I did do it for the skin. I mostly did it because I felt like I needed to. Like a rite of passage. Had been playing for a time, I had the resources, I had the experience. I had reached that point, so I felt that I had to take that final step.

The music that comes from the folks who use the harp properly. Other then that, the music that plays for some areas. I can't think of those areas atm, so imma go with the harp as a stand in.
