Salicia.5943

Hallo! My name is Sally and I - with some friends, are looking to fill a Fractal Static group. Sometimes we like to go do dungeons as well for fun. We are looking for individuals that self-analyze and have a drive to improve. The group is Semi-Hardcore as we run a strict composition and rely heavily on cc consumables and push phases for easier fights. I am willing to teach 100 & 99 CM with barely any experience if you are interested in becoming a permanent part of the group. With the new Fractal CM on the way we are all pumped up and excited for it. This group runs at -2 before reset Semi-Daily. My IGN is Salicia.5943, in game mail preferred. What roles we run (You must have 2):Healbrand: Group healer, stab, condi cleanse, quickness, with pact runesPower BS: CC and utility with 2 offhand maces and backup ball for Aratsiiv, anomaly on ArkkAlac Ren: Have at least the 80% boon duration alac ren knowledge down, know which encounters require which legends to run OR ASK, priority ball on Aratsiiv unless it is "No pain, no gain"DPS: Power only for now (Nothing is wrong with condi but utility with DH, Holo, Soulbeast is OP) What we require:Rock, Plank (warrior only), Termite Shovel, Metal Rod and Harpy Feathers consumablesFractal potions, food & utilityDiscord

You're not going to get compensated. You used the legendary for all the time until this update. You made it for convenience, and experienced the convenience. A long time ago before Shared Inventory slots were "implemented" people didn't forsee that they only needed 1 Copper Fed Salvomatic. People bought 1 for each character. That's over 2,000g if you bought 9. To this day you can still see them in Deroir's bank. He didn't get compensation nor anybody else. I understand your fight, trust me I almost made 9 sets I'd be pissed. But you also have to look at it from the other end of the spectrum. Why should you get something special that the rest cannot get? Anet isn't going to cater to the 2% that crafted 9 sets of legendary armor. This new system is amazing for anybody who didn't craft multiples of legendary. I would hate to see that 2% ruin it for the other 98%.

No I didn't but I didn't see a fix in the patch notes. Was worth a post anyways.

Yesterday, I killed the Claw and Voice Kodan in the Strike Mission and did not get credit towards the Sanctifier Achievement in Shadow in the Ice. Sanctifier: Defeat 0/20 Strike Bosses in the Sanctum Arena

It has been a very long time... 1h 30m it's late now? (assuming 10am pst is the launch time). I was hoping to play some to pass the time before an interview but oh well =\

Defend Akili while he recalibrates mirrors around the Astralarium - is bugged. He's just endlessly running back and forth in the ground with a defiance bar. Sorry for the recorded voices in the video didn't notice my settings were incorrect. Please fix, can't do Vision trinket without this working - still on the "Brandstone Research" part before I can make Astral weapons

So in my opinion this "World Boss Bonus" is a load of garbage. Worthless mats that I can get from harvesting guild nodes or WvW nodes that only take 20s average when I'm spending hours to attend the world bosses in this event and play with my friends. It is not fun getting no good drops that are worth your time. On top of that, the lag is obscene and I'm not sure if it's worth it I've farmed 60 boxes so far with the only thought in my head: "Why did you do this?" . Seems like a sorry way to "reward" your players for a week long event with crappy rewards and still a 0.00000001% drop rate on anything worth a damn. Would have liked to see one a day crafts like the Fractal box rewards or t6 matts.

I've done every raid multiple times, completed many open world things multiple times and don't know the story to them. Who is Xera? Who is Matthias? I think If I actually cared to know - like the OP is making an argument for people who want to "know the story" - they would find an alternative way to find them if they don't want to put in the effort to play it. You play a game online to play with friends and interact with other people and do collections and enjoy what the game has to offer. But if it's not in your taste to do things required (training, effort, time) just like in real life you have to find a work around to get the experience of what you want. Sure, it's not the "same" thing but it's close enough.

Fractals aside (because they are two different game modes with different mechanics) that Raids are fine the way they are and meant to be as such. When GW2 released Raids for HoT expansion the first line in the news feed were as follows: "You asked for the ultimate challenging content in Guild Wars 2—challenges that would put your skills to the test and push you and your friends to the edge to achieve victory. Now the answer is here." https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/raids-in-guild-wars-2/ Let me remind you that there was only a Normal and a Hard mode in GW1. You cannot compare GW2 to World of Warcraft so you have no ground to stand on. Just like Raiding in GW2 is easy compared to Raiding in Final Fantasy XIV Online. You want those raids? Go play that game and stop trying to change Anet's mind or decision on their game. Allowing Easy mode will only hit the Raiding community in a negative way. It allows casuals or people who stand at a world/meta boss and press 1, or stand in a donut, die in a poison field on tequatl... is going to give them an open door to go "Oh hey that isn't that bad I want to do more" and hinder future groups that they join doing Normal Raids. We already have enough trouble with casuals trying to enter the raiding scene without getting proper training experience. If you do not have 2 hours to spend in a Raid Training group with the Inn discord or with guildmates/friends to enjoy the content then go enjoy the rest of the game. There's no story that you need to experience in raids that isn't searchable in a "Watch this" function on YouTube. As I don't know how to actually vote on this thread for the option I'd choose I'm sure it's obvious.

Thanks Anet for the new mount skins even though some look like just recolors. I like the fact that I can buy a "chance" to get a good one at the price of 400 gems versus waiting for you guys to put the skins into the Shop for 2k each. I think 10k gems for only 5 "good" skins is complete crap so I quite enjoy having every single one for the same price. Unfortunately I don't real IRL money - only special promotions and things that I use everyday multiple times like the Copper Fed Salv-o-matic or a character slot.
