Just going to throw out there. When you give us skins, that we already own, like the Luminious set that most 8 year players already have from achievements, it would be nice if you could change those skins into Transmutation Charges, instead of having to either destroy (most likely) or store them on an alt.

Yes, having constant popups about loosing the login server for the past three days here in the St Louis Mo area too.. Had constant connection errors to BLTC this morning too. Rebooting router is useless.

No rush. You apparently have the deals going on for almost a full year. "From November 28 to November 2, log in every day to pick up a free item from the Gem Store. "

Mordremoth was the dragon of the mind. With Ember Bay, we saw constructs with traits of both Mordremoth and Primordius. Where are the Mordremoth and Jormag constructs? Did Jormag become the new dragon of the mind? Did Morde's death reinforce its mental powers?

Still happening, even worse since the last patch.

Solo roamer here, both as a Firebrand and as a Mirage. Even when I try to worship the tag, I end up doing things for team points, not chasing bags, which costs me levels and coin. You have lots of feedback already, and this thread is now buried in the current tracker, which is sad. While I did not read all the posts, I got a general feel. I just wanted to add a few things. Your outliers are the guys who can run around with mobile red fields, which stack on their teammates damage, and perma stealth builds that have indefensible damage. Those AOE fields need to stay in one place, not move with them, or give other classes access to long term, one-cast mobile damage. Stealth damage still needs a counter, since day 1 of wvw. Right now, what is really stupid is.. there is no reason to put any defense (Vit/toughness) into your build gear. No matter how much you have, the damage output of the enemy negates it. Vit/toughness slows down your killing, but you melt just as fast. (And dont even get me started on how STUPID it is that, when I build to defend against condi spam, I am a mob aggro magnet.) Which leads to what I am currently running on both classes. Glass cannon Grieving builds, as no one has to choose between condi or power builds. Most builds/skills use both. ANEt needs to look at making the counters what they should be.. You only have power OR condi for DPS, not both. You build a counter to condi with toughness, or you build a counter to power with Vit. Same with other stats. Make counters actually count. Dragonhunter and Chronomancer appear to be designed around power, while Firebrand and Mirage around Condi. Yet, both FB and Mirage use power as well. DH and Mirage appear to be more for solo play, while Firebrand and Chrono are more about buffs. Yet, I can do insane damage plus buff on my FB, yet my Chrono is so useless that on PVE boss trains, I cannot get above a silver for the bosses. I can solo better on a core burn guard build with my FB gear, than I can on a power DH build. It amazes me how many metabattle builds use DH without using the bow. DH bow is THAT useless. Choices dont seem to matter, beyond being the uber builds that everyone runs with deadeye, rev and scourge. Also, really? (on the siege front.) Rev fire fields can go not only thru walls but half way across towers and destroy seige? No, just No.. If there is a wall, let the damage stop at it, or count the distance to go up it at least. Its still pretty pointless to put seige on walls, as it seems everyone and their brother can pull you off the wall. How about giving people on siege stability, since, you know, you are hanging onto a heavy object. Oh, and my chrono is useless for anything atm. And not having a trait to decrease the recast time of the glamour skill line just emphasizes how little ANet wants it used.

Just going to use my Charrdian as an example. Initially, "Oh good, it clears up inventory space when I create a second equipment template." Then.. "Oh, wait, why is my static ear and ring slots empty. OK, I can drag the static one into the slot. Wait, wont that make more lag, as it swaps from slot 1 to slot 2?: Oh well." Next was. "OK, now, I want to use my higher health/longer buffs gear with my firebrand build for running WvW group instead of my DPS PVE gear. Wait.. why are my ascended weapons in my bags.. OH, I changed the template.. Thats pretty crappy. The game should recognize that this is only temporary. I will have to watch and make sure they dont get lost and I dont decon them. That is a BAD thing." After sleeping on it, thanks for the build templates, but I am going back to manually swapping my gear and looking at my spreadsheet, as I have more builds than you allow anyway. My Dragonhunter build would require buying another set of gear templates.

Just going to ask for an "Apply" button, so I can look at my build/gear set without actually swapping to it. Other stuff can wait.

What is going on with Chronomancer and lack of participation rewards? I usually run with my guild in a world boss train every two weeks for about 2 hours. I consistently get gold participation rewards with my Mirage, Burn core guard and Firebrand. Yet last night, with my Chrono power/support/heal build, I constantly saw a silver reward instead of gold. Is DPS the only thing to get participation any more?

You DO realize this ENTIRE LWS is so he can tell the commander, "See, I TOLD you Jormag was a threat."

Betting they will consume for a new magic form when the "real" LWS magics come out.

Thanks for the updates. Too bad you dont use the official forums for stuff like that. For us non Twitter users. She literally is using the official forums for this, though.You have a funny definition of literal.No, they LITERALLY released ALL the Bound by Blood announcements on Twitter. The CSM was nice enough to LINK them to the forums so we could know about them. TBH, if you guys are happy with announcements being made in other media and, on the off chance someone decides to share them to the forums, maybe learn about them, then you are happy..

What dont you have a phone?Take a picture and read what you need from that, thats what I did. Guess I am too old school to think of that... We used to write everything down, back in the day. Thanks for a reminder of an easier way.

@ANet This questline seems "half-baked" to me. It does not really make a quest. The advancement is only tracked in collections, which means you have to write everything down. Each racial chef that wants help should make a quest so you can track what you need to make for them. That included the guy who makes your stove.
