She turned me into a newt!

*blows a raspberry*

I blinded myself with my own glitter. Now let this thread die in peace! 😛

No. Yer too smol and I cba to squint.

All the random fun stuff gets deleted :(. So the real reason it wont happen is coz anet are fun killers who want everyone staring into the boonbar abyss while dribbling brain cells out their nostrils. I think we can all agree they give zero "kittens" about server performance, queues or balance, and they'd rather turn off revenue streams than fix things. Anet, probably: "You want a fancy chair to afk in vale with? NO! Disabled! You want an adorable lil friend to keep you company while oot and aboot? NO! Disabled! You thought you'd catch some fish while guarding watercamp? NO! You will have junk and you will like it! You want to have random boat parties when it's slow to welcome newbies into wvw? NO! DISABLED! Now transfer to that server and feed the boonblob with our mates in it kkthnxbye." 😄

"Beta's" really aren't a good example though, as the increase in traffic likely has more to do with the bonuses and achievements than anything else.

So according to our traits, Harrowing Storm (axe/dagger 3) does not count as either a shadowstep OR a movement ability. It doesnt proc fluid strikes or guarded initiation for example. It gets worse when you start testing our entire kit - there's absolutely no consistency in either the skills or the traits on what counts as "shadowstep" "teleport" or "movement". It's a total sloppy mess and could do with a pass to at least have things make sense rather than be rngesus if this specific ability will proc this specific trait or not :(.

It's happened more times than I care to count that you have 5 guys down in a lord room then 1 npc rallies the lot. We call camp quartermasters "The Rallymaster" and leave it dead for the same reason. But "world" npcs were supposed to have been disabled from rallying at all years ago. Sadly anet appear to have missed a few spots - bears (veloka), brackish scales (mid water area near lake tower), deer (between veloka/ogres) and oakhearts all rally players. Veteran Ogre Chieftain's also banner res players, so that's nice 😄

Yeah it's bad, feels like content removal tbh. Boonblob or GTFO 😞 Don't make me splat you! Getting camera clipped into SM wall gave a great view straight down the LAZ0000RRRR. 😄 It's ok, he's a guildy. Plus he utterly deserved it /o/

WvW is so boring now, I spend more time doing over the top stupidity than actually playing. Boonspam has wrecked my fragile brain.

When thieves had ricochet.

No. The game WAS balanced around how downstate functions. That game did not have the level of boons, heals, barriers, bubbles and instaresses that this game now does. Downedstate existed because there were no healers - just look at us now!

The best bit is npc's rallying 5 players. Or siege. Or siege blueprints. We call the Quartermaster npc in camps the Rallymaster and tell people not to res it for that reason. Anet said they fixed rallying from random (non-structure) npc's but only some of them. Players can still rally from deer, brackish scales, some black bears etc. The veteran ogre chieftains in EB can also banner res fully dead players. In my opinion you should only be able to get 1 rally (from a dead player) then if you go down again in 60s you are full dead. ALL npc and random object rallies should be deleted. By the same token repeated mass and insta ressing should have some sort of penalty if performed on the same player repeatedly - the existing original mechanic is not fit for purpose with how the game has changed.

To illustrate anet's lack of care - a longtime known, documented and reported terrain exploiter is now impersonating other players (complete with guild tags) while running a public dorito and exploiting into things. It's also whispering people and offering to teach them exploits. EDIT: For clarification I am in EU T1 (Gandara) - our linked server is Gunnar's Hold and has the impersonating exploiter on it but the matchup as a whole is absolutely insane with people exploiting into structures, glitching under map and using the glider crash bug deliberately on all sides (before gliding as a whole was disabled in wvw ofc :P)... wvw feels more like a dodgy private server these days honestly, it's an utter mess.

WTB fall damage traits.
