  1. Normally we go back to the relinks we had right before beta began.
  2. 9 tailed fox. or a tiger that looks like the jackal white tiger skin. Or any jackal skin 😁
  3. I'd suggest Borlis Pass or Stormbluff Isle. There's also Jade Quarry as an option, but they tend to like to outnumber players alot or hide behind siege and walls.
  4. Sorry you had such a bad experience in wvw, i think No.4 it depends on who you're up against. Most veteran players I know and play with leave solo especially solo low ranked players alone (unless they are annoying the crap out of us or are using something like dragon banner), not only because we know they are learning, probably have wrong gear and little idea of what's going on, but because we want to keep players in wvw, we want the noobs to keep playing, not get discouraged as soon as they get in wvw and to get good so they can give us good fights :) Sometimes commanders are too busy to answer whispers, or people just don't like to whisper people they don't know. You're better off asking in say chat or map chat, one of their members may see your comment and send a squad invite, or just right click join squad, you'll be able to join if it's open squad. Some squads want people in discord before they let you join. On Warclaw - it should never have been introduced to wvw.
  5. WVW has been losing guilds and players for years now. Leaving the game. What we have left is a skeleton crew compared to what we had a few years ago. If Anet had done something about balance, listened to their customers, there would currently be much more people playing wvw, and new players joining wvw, so wvw would be bringing in more revenue, and thus it would be a bigger focus for anet than it currently is. It will never be on par with pve, that's expected, but it would be much higher than what it is if they had listened to and retained their customers.
  6. Yeah, like all 5 people that play WvW leave and the game ends. SHURE!! You guys need to get a reality check. WvW isn't as important to the longevity of this game as you want to think. Sure, WvW players would leave at this continued rate. That would simply mean Anet could focus on developing the parts of this game that don't drag it down. Wow... I don’t really think you could be more smug. And people call raiders and sPvPers elitist. Nothing smug about it. If WvW isn't generating enough revenue and it's not a loss leader, then it should go away so they can focus on what is working for them. That's how business works. Why do you think car makers are dumping sedans for SUV and crossovers? It's no different. There's no WvW only gemstore, we buy and farm the same kitten as everyone else,. That doesn't matter. I can assure you, Anet can measure who is playing what mode, for how long and how much they are spending. if WvW players are not the majority of the revenue, WvW won't be the majority of the investment. The decision on what to focus development on is a business one, not an emotional one. Yeah, sure, but it's been 19 months already. That's more than enough time for them to have done something about wvw server balance.
  7. You mentioned that it's new, it should still be under warranty. Contact the store you got it from, they may be able to help you, maybe you just got a dud, if that is the case, they should replace it. Ask if they can upgrade it to the newer model , you'll probably have to pay the difference.
  8. First off, read my replies. So, if endgame is content designed for level 80's than all those level 80 maps are endgame content. In this, we strongly differ, and i think you'll find many players do. Players should do what they want and many players like to get ascended gear before they get into endgame content. Again, read my replies. I said 'ANET', not 'team'.
  9. As for the OP, engi is fun, although a bit more complex than say guardian, warrior and necro. Look at metabattle.com for builds and tips on how to play a class, and the wiki is full of info. You may want to look for a guild to join, one that plays in your timezone, they can be very helpful. Ask in map chat or look on https://www.reddit.com/r/guildrecruitment/
  10. It's not about what team does what. It's about where they put their money and resources into. So you're implying ascended is only required for endgame content. What about Fractals? T4 Fractals is not endgame content.
  11. I never mentioned a bug fixing team, but Anet, meaning the whole of Anet, the higher ups in particular are what i was referring to. Not once did i mention bugs. They are not even the biggest problem in game. Yeah, you can play the game in exotics and still have fun but if you really want to make the most of the game, you need ascended, and it takes alot of time and effort to get ascended gear. Unless you have already been playing for a while and have mats and gold and maps completed and time to farm living season maps for ascended trinkets, it takes a whole lot of time to gear up for someone still getting into the game. Even if you decide to get all your gear from pvp or wvw instead of pve it takes time to complete the reward tracks, and then getting the currencies needed to buy the ascended versions. Not to mention the time gated mats and getting all your hero points for elite specs takes a couple of hours. About skins- no it's not a bad thing to care abut skins, it's what most businesses do, play to people's weaknesses to get the most cash out of them that they can. When a game development team cares more about putting time and effort in to releasing new skins every other week, and lure people with the small chance that they may get an exciting new item dropped from a black lion chest (called gambling), or only make certain skins available from the gems store, i.e mount skins, instead of listening to the community and balancing the game i wouldn't call that a good thing. it's quiet obvious that Anet have become greedy and care more about their gem store and server transfer income than much else.@Seera.5916 said:
  12. What snapz said. Sorry to disappoint you but the game is not what it used to be, it's basically a cash shop game now. Anet are constantly putting things on their gem store to get those players with addictive personalities to waste their money. They're always bringing out new skins instead of listening to their player base and working on what actually needs to be fixed. Players and complete guilds have left the game, some are just waiting on the aug 30 announcement before making a final decision. I wouldn't invest anymore cash into the game and don't recommend anyone buy pof or any expac. This game is not for casuals, you need to invest alot of time to get all of your gear, proper gear, for all game modes but spvp. Even spvp players are about who has the best skin. If you hear them say otherwise, they are lying! If you really want to play, wait till aug 30 before spending any money.
  13. If you enjoy ranger, keep it. Don't destroy your druid, gettting enough hp's to get an elite spec is time consuming. Don't need to start a new toon unless you want to play a different class. Dragonhunter (guardian), tempest (ele), reaper (necro) maybe spellbreaker. Herald (revenant) if you use a weapon other than sword, like hammer. Unless you want to raid, don't make a mesmer/chronomancer. The class was gutted in the last balance patch. Don't know about thief, i hear staff is good, i'm sure dual weapons need a good rotation. Try a class out a little bit first at level 80 with the boost before deciding on making a class level 80. It will take you to the silverwastes where you have can try it out , if you leave that map your boost will be consumed and your character will be permanently level 80. When you hit level 80 you can go to lower level maps , your character will be scaled down. But you can't go to those maps with the level 80 boost active. I don't think it's necessary to start from the very beginning to learn the game unless you enjoy that, once you use a boost, play how you want, you'll learn the game as you play anyhow and be at an advantage with the level 80 exotic gear rather than half rares and greens and an exotic piece here and there. Change the default keybindings to suit you, and your game settings, there are lots of guides on youtube. Once you get the hang of the game and have a littel bit of gold, go to the tp or karma temple vendors in orr maps and get some gear which can deal damage.
