Hey guys, for a while I'm experiencing constant disconnections to the point the game is unplayable. Does anyone else experience anything like that? 90% of disconnections happen at the literal end of story instance (Season of the dragons is driving me crazy because of this.... repeated in sirens landing and got disconnected after defeating him a few times already.....) or after the pvp match, i cannot exit to the previous map. Either i have to go to character select and log back in or just wait for the game to disconnect me and log back in. I just wonder if it's a server issue or if it's my network (I haven't really experienced that kind of issues in other games). Besides, I work from home using the same network and I don't experience any issues with internet connection. I'd appreciate any feedback from you because I wonder if I should look for other internet provider or if it wouldn;t change anything. Take care!

Death Scroud, Tomes etc., are meant to be used just a while but with the Gunblade it's a different story. It seems like we'll be using it 90% of times which means we won't see our skins that we've worked on pretty hard. For example I've got Eternity and I will miss the aura and footsteps. Well, I'm sure it's not going to change anyway so at least I'm glad the spec looks cool and seems to be made with a lot of effort 🙂

Hello! At first I'd like to state that I'm glad that A.net finnaly dedicated a lot of work on warrior elite spec. Bladesworn looks amazing but It's kind of sad that we won't be able to see our legendary weapons or just our skins that we've work hard on. I know that necro or holo can feel the same but holoforge and shroud are temporary states unlike Gunblade, we will use mostly this weapon and won't be able to see our skins almost at all and this is Fashion Wars, isn't it? How do you feel about it guys? I doubt we will be allowed to use GS skins for that.

To be fair I love staff and spears and if they could bring staff that would work AS spear (just like necro staff can be a scythe while using skills, why wouldn't there be a magical blade on top of the staff while we wield it?), I think a lot of people would love that too BUT.... Let's face it, we do not have 1 handed ranged weapon at all and if we receive the staff, all 3 of heavy armor classes would be using a staff and none of them would be able to use pistols. Elite specs are meant to bring something new to the class, ideally something that this class lacks. We do have bunch of melee weapons but ranged is a little bit too limited for us at the moment. To be fair, I will be happy with anything as long as the elite spec won't be support. I've had enough of being half support since 2012... Also, please remember how ppl are not enthusiastic about our current ranged weapons, the elite spec made with pistols could work trait-wise on favor of ranged weapons as a whole and the spec could make rifle and longbow more fun aswell. Today's tuesday so I think we could expect Necro reveal and a sneakpeak for 3rd canthan elite spec. For some reason I think they will reveal the classes by armor weight so next would be ele but hey who knows, I'm counting on that I'm wrong this one time 😄 Anyway, take care guys 🙂

As much as I would like to see a staff used as a spear, we don't have any decent ranged weapon, let alone one handed ranged weapons at all. So far we've received an offhand and dual daggers which could replace 2h weapon slot (we've received 5 new weapon skills) so it seems like we could receive a ranged weapons this time. I have nothing against pistols tbh. For a staff, we also could throw it if they really wanted to make it a ranged weapon which would be great tbh because it wouldn't be a copy - paste from other classes like daredevil or core reve. They could reinvent it the other way aswell for example your staff swings create a wind wave projectiles that hits enemies within a mid range. I'd personally would like a warrior to receive some love this time and expand the F skills up to 4 and make warrior a little bit more complex class. Also, I'd like to be more self dependable with utilities like stealth for example - could be usefull in a lot of scenarios in wvw, pvp and pve content. Idk, make warrior focused on combofields with barrels that explodes when you shot it with your offhand pistol with different effects in a spot you've placed them 😅. I know how crazy it all sounds and that it won't happen but hey, at least I dont count on anet changing the focus to be mainhand so we could use it as fist weapons - just imagine how would it look when somoene put 2x The Binding of Ipos.... 2 books floating before you while you fight with.... fists? 😄 So far noone received pistols for espec (at least necro will get it this time as far as we know), scepter but it wouldn't fit a warrior, focus which wouldn't fit warrior as magic weapon aswell and a mace but we can use them already. My bet is reinvented staff (please don't be a support spec, im tired of being support since 2012) or pistols to fill the missing one handed ranged wepon. No chance on bringing the spear from underwater since there won't be gen 3 underwater legendaries. If they wanted to do something that huge, they would hype us with it and give it a little bit love at least skinwise. Incomming beta will probably cover all the light armor classes, who knows maybe they will surprise us with heavy classes next? I'm holding my fingers crossed 🙂

Hello,First of all I would like to say that the new black lion torch skin is amazing - gj there ! :+1:I unerstand that making better quality black lion skins lead to higher income for the company and we all want that but it led ut to the point, some legendary skins are far worse than gemstore skins in terms of effects - for example Rodgort and a new phoenix feather torch skin. We've received some visual updates on some 1st gen legendary weapons. Is there a plan to update them all?

PvP achievement is not locked behind ONE season. It says "During season" and not, "during one season". It only means you do not receive achievement progress while between seasons. Achiev DO NOT resets after the season ends.

I would be curious to see said footage if possible. In regards to staff/polearm I do hope this never comes to be, period. I cant see what it will bring that the warrior can't already do. (Dagger bought boon rip if anyone brings that one up.) I am fully commited to the next weapon being pistol for warrior. I have already made HOPE for this as I honestly believe this is the only viable weapon for the warrior which will provide the most benefit to what is currently missing. Actually you're probably right. In my opinion right now warrior lacks one handed ranged weapon the most but, considering how many people demads staff as next warrior weapon it may be the case aswell especially when it would fit the theme of expansion (monk, staff mele weapon). I would be happy to see any of them honestly as long as A.net won't make next espec support. People are rising the topic of warrior not having "true support" spec but lets face it we are stuck with dps/support role from vanilla. I would rather see pistol/pistol range pure dps spec. I would love to wear nevermore with my warrior but I dont see it being different from revenant staff. I had an idea of warrior next espec losing weapon swap and instead using stances (F1-F4) to use equiped weapons differently (F1- power dps; F2 - condi dps; F3 defensive + cc; F4- movement?; Something similar to elementalists possibilities) but with all the weapons warrior can equip right now it would be too much of work for one espec i guess. I just would loove to see a little more depth with warriors :bleep_bloop: Or maybe staff as ranged weapon for warrior when you swing the staff that hard you cause air pressure waves? It would always be something new. The only thing limiting devs is their imagination. Still i can see that more likely than whole new weapon type.

Well, to be honest, in my opinion dungeons would benefit this. This change would bring a lot of people back. The problem is adding even 1 clover per succesfull run would decrease value of legendary items drastically. How about receiving a clover from repeatable achievements. Lets say 3 dungeons = 1 clover similar to Dungeon frequenter achievement? Lately I've been returning to dungeons with my brother to feel nostalgia again and honestly it's sad that people abadoned this content. If i had to bet how much people do Dungeon runs i'd bet on lower than 5%. It is fast, doesnt require meta squads and you do not die from 1 shot like in T4 fractals. Just a form od relax that could bring something useful to you and woulndt feel like you lost your time while you could make 20g in the time you've spent in dungeons. Dungeons can be also done solo if it's not restricted with mechanics like arah p1 or cof p1. If people would have more interest in dungeons, streams and YouTube channels would benefit aswell by teaching ppl how to solo the content. Im kinda fed up with fractals and raid runs with full meta restrictions, waiting for hours for pug team to form up and ppl rq after 1 fail, we need something to relax on after a day in work. Of course this is only the way to attract more people by expanding possibilities. It wouldn't be mandatory to run it, you can always go to fractals if it fits you better and just Craft clovers when you need them.

Hey, what about making staves into spears in similar way necro uses staff as scythe. For example magical blade could apear on top of staff while weapon is drawned https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/en/uploads/forum_attachment/file/47883/gw020.jpg It's not impossible since they made it once.

What made you think that pvp section is a good place to make that request? :D

Hello guys! Well i keep hearing 2 arguments over and over against Tengu as playable race (or "any new race" in particular). Don't get me wrong I would love to see them introduced as new expansion feature but I won't go to forums and complain if a.net decides that it's not what they will do. Just hear me out, I think these arguments are reasonable. People say it's too much work to introduce a new race but honestly, they are not planning to work on new expansion, they are already doing it, noone knows for how long and it doesn't seem like we will hear announcement sooner than a year from now, not to mention release. I honestly doubt it's more work than designing a new class together with elite spec and balancing it like they did with revenant. They've added new game mode (raids), designed 2nd gen legendary weapons, worked on fractals and pvp (leg. backpieces) + introduced major changes to both modes. They've been working on legendary armor meanwhile. People seem to forget how much HoT brought to the game. They are creative but I'm not sure there is much to add after gliding and mounts. We will probably see just 2 or 3 new mounts but it's not that fresh feature as it used to be when they announced PoF. I think that it's also a good monetisation if they add "Race change contract" as a new gem store item. Housing could be introduced aswell and it would eliminate problem with home instance ppl are rising up when they hear about the idea (not sure why it is a problem to be honest). They've managed to do so much with HoT, I dont think it's something they wouldn't be able to handle. Another argument against new playable races is that they won't fit the main story from the beginning. As far as I know, revenants came with rytlock from the mists after the vanila story but somehow they start on 1 lvl, progress main story and they now participate in defeating 1st elder dragon. We just seem to ignore the fact they should start somehow with HoT story . In that case the solution is similar, design a fresh story that will lead you (as a new playable race) to fight Zaithan on some point of personal story. We would just have to pretend it was always the case just like with revenants. As I said, I won't cry if they decide to go in other direction with this expansion but it would be nice to see a new race. If they add combat tonic i will just ignore it as I did with Kodan one but if people find it entertaining, sure why not, go for it if it's max we can count on.

Honestly I was hyped to see lagendary amulet for pvp but when I saw achieves.... Come on, solo players won't be able to get the amulet. I do not see any issue with rankeds because you can pug it but if you do not have any friends like me for example it's impossible to play tournaments.... Hit me when there is any other legendary amulet to obtain in 5 years....

That's not true, I remember Josh Foreman saying that the dev team would love to revisit Cantha and that we should keep asking for it. No they said We wouldn't be going back to Cantha (something about the asian market/NCSoft iirc). They did say they would love to revisit as well. It would be nice after 6 years they sorted whatever the problem was and take us back. But it was a Big NO then. Factions was and is my fave campaign out of the 3, EoTN is the only xpac of GW1 so doesn't really count. I'd love to see Cantha back as well.Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they say that they won't make any new class or an expansion which we'll have to pay for? The same with any new playable race. I'm still holding my fingers crossed for that. They had no plans for those things in the past but now it's different game and a lot has changed. A lot of people are hyped for cantha and would buy an expansion only to go there.

I've chosen shortbow but I'd be happy with staff and pistols aswell to be honest. I'm reading the rest of the comments and oh boy.... Deal with the fact that shield and focus are OFF HAND weapons and we won't be able to use them in our main hand. Just no. Next one is greataxe. A.net will not make ANY new weapon while we still have a few weapons that could be used in future elite specs. The only way we would have this begged greataxe is something simillar to necro/reaper shroud when we use different set of skills and a scythe.
