I was practicing my griffon flying on such a perfect flying map and WHAM got slammed into by a leyline and not only pulled away from the direction I was going, but also down to a lower island and could not break free. It really ruined my flying experience. Even on a skyscale I have been pulled away from where I was going by a surprise leyline. Theory was good... execution not so much. Definitely needs some adjusting to be able to use the griffon in particular to it's full abilities. 😞

Exactly. I buy all the mount packs anyway so why buy the supply drop. If these three skins end up being part of a larger pack... I guess I'll take the risk that they will only be part of a three pack that I may or may not purchase in the future. 🙂

Last time I purchased a supply drop for mount skin(s), the skin was in a later mount pack. Customer support did, eventually, refund the one ticket I couldn't use from the pack but told me it was a one time thing and to be more careful. So why should I buy this one and risk shooting myself in the foot? I would like the read emote but based on my last experience... I'll pass.

I also want the readbook emote along with the mount skins (because I apparently collect mount skins). But I am afraid to buy the supply drop. Last time I did, I did it for the mount skin not realizing it would come out later in a pack, which I, of course, purchased. When I asked for a refund for the one mount skin I already had, customer support initially balked but eventually refunded some gems to me for the value of that one skin. Which was all I was asking for. BUT they also said this was a one time thing and in the future just be more aware of what I am purchasing. So... why should I buy the supply drop when I am going to be buying it later anyway??????

I was raiding at the time. So, Cairn. THERE IS A PATTERN ON THE FLOOR! XDDD And then everything. I had thought the Charr lands were kinda ugly with all those dead brown trees but on the new comp I found out that it was freaking Autumn LOL! I could finally see the colour. Also someone had to have seen me running back and forth through some grass because it moved!! I had so many moments. My first time running across the snow and through water seeing the textures... so pretty.

Back in the beginning? There were a lot of great things. I still have my first toon, a norn ranger and she was always my main. My favourite map, to this day, is still Wayfarer Foothills. I love the events there. I remember laughing SO HARD at the norn in the hotsprings trying to hit on the very disinterested lady and her responses. I remember soloing The Frozen Maw and Svanir Dome chains and bosses every time they came up just because it was fun. My first jumping puzzle and finally getting to the chest. Helping poor Gareth try to protect and feed his kids. Discovering events as I explored because you COULD NOT see them unless you were nearby... In 2020 I built a gaming rig and it's like playing the game for the first time all over again. I was playing on a potato laptop on low settings- now everything is on high and it's so beautiful!!! I saw something somewhere one day when GW2 was still being developed and read about the game and said, "This is the kind of game I want to play. This game is for me." I was thrilled by a game that didn't hold my hand and force me to play a certain way. GW2 was exactly what I wanted- a place to explore. I bought and played GW1 while I waited for GW2 to come out. XD

Yes. If we are anywhere near a squad, we are eating up the tail and helping during a push, distracting the enemy and causing... havoc. That's what we do. When the zerg is trying to take an objective, we'll be across the map breaking into T3 keeps, forcing the enemy to make a choice. Mag proves that clouding is effective when people know how to play. Our little invis tag comped guild group switches between clouding and stacking as needed. We've learned to be flexible. And that's actually what Mag is good at. Mag will res their downs, focus on low/downed targets, and do their best to choose the best ground for the battle. They basically bring PvP skills to a larger scale and it shows. They're great to learn from! When we go up against them and match their strategy, we win fights. If a commander is determined to only play ONE way, then that commander loses. Be flexible. If people don't want to be on your tag, too bad. Adapt. P.S. I would also venture to say that if you are a good commander, people want to join your tag...

Sometimes I wonder if not having new dungeons, raids, etc. signals to the players that GW2 isn't about this type of in-game content and so they never develop the desire to do it. Emboldened mode (basically a raid update) encouraged many new raiders to jump in and whet their appetite for more. It was a delight to see people put on the mantle of courage and attempt their first raid clears. In other games, raids are a way to get armor for your toon or weapons and whatnot. That isn't necessary in GW2. So what would draw people do raids if they seem dead? I see people saying that raids are dead, strikes are where it's at now. So new players hear this and don't bother with raids. Or dungeons. Some go back and try fractals when someone mentions that it is good gold. I think dungeons, raids, fractals, and WvW are loads of fun. It makes me sad that the overall picture being created, in part by veteran players, is that they aren't worth trying. I look forward to more positive changes for these content modes. Emboldened was a good step. We're getting a new fractal. Alliances are still... slowly but steadily moving forward. Unfortunately we aren't getting any dungeons so far, just a new frantically paced meta map. I still love the game in all its modes (except pvp, I'm just not good at that) and am patiently awaiting more positive changes. I do hope for more raid wings. XD I'll just keep playing whatever I feel like playing...

Maybe we can get a daily wing that gives us rewards, like the strikes. It's hard to do raids again during the week when the time vs reward makes it not worth it. I'll help out training runs or groups that need fills because I love the fights and the challenge, but I'm always sad when I realize that I am spending this time (my very limited gaming time) and not getting anything for it... 😕

I raided for years on a potato laptop. There are some things you will never see, but you can get the rhythm of and know when to dodge. ie I never knew the Cairn platform had a texture/img on it. I simply learned the radius that I needed to stay inside so that his projectiles went over my head. That being said, I built my gaming rig in 2020 and it's like playing the game for the first time.

Back in the old days there was special PvP armor. When that changed, this gear was in our inventories and going to the PvP lobby "fixes" it. The quickest way to ditch the armor is still going to the PvP lobby.

If you are experiencing this bug, ask in Map chat if anyone will run you through. I've run 3 parties through it. For those that have a Skyscale, please consider calling out in map chat that you are going in or even posting an LFG for the zone and help some peeps out. One guy I helped was new to the game and playing the story for the first time. I was sad that his experience was this bug. 😞

I could enjoy seeing a mass of battle toads roaming WvW.

What you actually want is full legendary gear. Then you can do exactly this at any time without any extra work. It will take time (it is legendary, after all) but you'll enjoy the game your way once you have it! Good luck. 🙂
