    True

    I would rather pay for another feature expansion than get trickled in gem store and story updates.

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 10:43 AM PST

    Arena Net, I want to give you money. I want to buy your game that you've worked so hard on. But I want to feel like I'm getting my money's worth.

    I don't want to spend money on mount skins and costumes anymore, I have plenty.

    I don't want to spend money on template slots or character slots anymore.

    What I want is a new class, or a new race, or a new Elite spec, or some new way to customize my character's abilities, and I will give you money for that.

    What I want is a new WvW map that changes the way we do large-scale PvP that ties into an overarching story.

    What I want is to shake the game up in ways that only a full-featured expansion can. And I will pay you money for that.

    I respect and appreciate the free story updates, but there just isn't enough content that affects the game as a whole. When I go back to Lions Arch to check my auctions, I don't really have any proof that I've been playing the Icebrood Saga (which has been a pretty enjoyable story so far). The living story benefits exist almost exclusively in Living Story right now. I've given so many hours to this game, and had countless fond memories about it, but man am I finding it harder to log in. If there was the equivalent of Nightfall or even Eye of the North, you better believe I would drop dollars on it in a heartbeat to support you.

    The newer harvesting glyphs couldve been masteries

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 03:58 PM PST

    Most masteries after HoT release have been about movement. Some have been nice, albeit limited, and then mounts have been pretty great. But after those, most are just gates for boxes/doors. What if instead, masteries that effected other QoL and utility aspects of the game became the norm?

    One example could be the AoE harvest glyph. Its not anything special and is only really useful in a handful of situations. Yet at the same time, if you could grind out and unlock a mastery that made all your harvest swings AoE, itd be a nice account boost without being a power creep--actually worth a mastery.

    RMT sale of monthly AT gizmo

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 12:50 PM PST

    RMT sale of monthly AT gizmo

    So recently it became public that ArenaNet partner/popular streamer Tramadex has sold his alt account which he won an automated tournament on and got a moon gizmo. Tramadex sold it to his biggest donator/twitch moderator GaboCry. Proof that Gabo is tramas mod/donator :

    https://preview.redd.it/l2kb4g7eieb41.png?width=845&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a7af7634ba7f67162f4c6d1bcf3fb865755ed4b

    https://preview.redd.it/o8sf651fieb41.png?width=456&format=png&auto=webp&s=2aefe76f74bc160d8c8dbbb723b00c1fc03d2719

    This is a fresh 500AP alt account that Tramadex has created specifically for this sale and to try and hide his this RMT transaction that had place. He sepcifically named the account the way Gabo calls his characters.

    Here 3 month old clip from Gabos twitch showing him naming himself this way https://www.twitch.tv/gabocry/clip/OutstandingAthleticWrenFailFish Screenshot incase he deletes clip https://i.imgur.com/sDqZvKj.png

    Tramadex has made a random account name with random letter combination Aaasdassdasdas.1532 and they both kept playing with variations of "asdasdsas" name on their main accounts (trama on andrey, and gabo on gabocry).

    Recently, Gabo has finally made the step to call himself Gabo on that account and parade proudly with a gizmo he doesn't deserve and he hasn't won. You can catch him a lot of times in HoTM sitting in public areas sporting the gizmo and gloriously repping it. Here an example:

    https://preview.redd.it/g7fydejhieb41.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f2cfa51871be2f063b29f2a93624dc83b77deafb

    The link to the monthly automated torunament in question is below.

    https://youtu.be/0F50ThkZR3w?t=4213

    Tramadex is playing his signature warrior on the Asdasdas account and as we know GaboCry doesn't play that class as he is only a Herald/Holosmith player.

    I've also taken the time to ask team captain of Tramadex's team from that monthly Pain and he confirmed it was Tramadex playing on the Asadasdas account.

    https://preview.redd.it/21waeahlieb41.png?width=247&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b6499d1c3cb3f2f78248edc45e5fc8a4232cd84

    I also want to point out that I've sent a ticket to ArenaNet but they obviously are not doing anything about it, and the replies i get from support are either generated by bot or are are simply written by incompetent staff that doesn't play the game and thus has no clue what happened.

    I hope that someone from ArenaNet can pick it up by me posting this on reddit and the RMTers can be rightfully banned to prevent competitive integrity of PvP. It should be very easy to verify it since they are from two different countries (Gabo from Germany, Tramadex from Russia.) That's all.

    If Revenant were to get a Greatsword, what sort of skills would you all want on it?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 06:47 AM PST

    If Revenant were to get a Greatsword, what sort of skills would you all want on it?

    Obviously I would like a Melee Auto Attack since Revenant already has 2 two hander ranged weapons now.

    I would like a blade storm like channeled spin attack that has AoE Pull effect.

    Would like an ability that strikes places AoE taunt on enemies, so it would be a good tank weapon to go with dwarf.

    Hear Me Out

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 07:50 AM PST

    I like the content Anet provides us. I'm not sure how dedicated or how hard the employees work to give us the content they do, but no matter i ALWAYS appreciate whatever they do.

    But now hear me out. The world of Tyria is supposed to be big...much bigger than what we can see on the current world map. and one thing bugs me about that...is that we have never explored anywhere outside of mainland Tyria as we know it.

    Check out this map here. That square is Tyria and all the content available to us in the game. (about 6% of the total area of this map)

    https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/en/uploads/forum_attachment/file/172624/charrland.jpg

    I know we have elder dragons to slay...but these other areas beg to be explored, perhaps finding out some new technology, new race of people or whatever we've never seen before that allows us to fight these dragons...hey maybe we could even just lay off the dragon plot and just see what's out there?

    I can understand if nobody agrees or likes my sentiment, but it makes me feel a bit sad that these areas of this game world may never have any lore, or have anything to do with the development of this games history.

    Guildwars 2 Marriage

    Guildwars 2 Marriage

    Hello Folks,

    Today I organised for 2 People from our Guild a Wedding in Lions Arch. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was an Honor for me to plan everything. It was more what they could imagine.

    We were about 50+ People at the ceremony. It was breathtaking.

    Big Shoutout to the three People from CMAJ who played music for us the next 30min after we finished.

    At the End we wanted to capture this Moment in a Screenshot. The Bride and the groom are cheering in the Front.

    Thanks for everyone who joined us there.

    Groom: ThorKalom.5167 / Bride: HannahZauberfee.8231

    Loading Time

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 07:45 AM PST

    Hey folks,

    i am the only one who got a very long loading screen after the last Update? I Removed the Local.dat but i still have the Problem.

    Are any other ways to fix it or do we have to wait another Anet Update to fix it?

    I think Anet needs to showcase premium stuff a little better in-game

    Posted: 18 Jan 2020 08:15 AM PST

    First of all, sorry if this had been already suggested, but I couldn't find a related topic

    I just got my Black Lion Exclusive Mount Selection box and I was almost immediately going to get the Gallant mount for raptor, but then I saw this video: https://youtu.be/pDJ5ciFEYyY and they talk about effects when the mount is summoned, when they use skills, custom sounds and a lot of fancy stuff that is not shown when you preview the skins in-game...

    I know it's no biggie since there are dozens of videos showcasing the mounts on YouTube made by people that bought them, but it definitely would be much better to see that without alt-tabbing to a web browser. Also, dye options preview would be nice too!

    I only bough some keys for this drop, but if I were to spend 2k gems instead, I'd like to see what I'm getting in full detail first; but maybe that's just me :v

    Before SAB

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 07:42 PM PST

    Kinda hope devs address one of my biggest complaints regarding Baubles and Bubble Baubles: Bank Inventory.

    Can we maybe sees these currencies addressed/standardized with other holiday currencies (candy corn and candy corn cobs, zhaitaffy and jorbreakers, snowflakes and snow diamonds, etc)? I'd rather be able to add these to my material storage than have them take up bank space. Just a thought before the event comes around 😉

    Will the big PVP balance patch bring you back to pvp?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 12:19 PM PST

    I really enjoyed vanilla pvp, outside of some balance issues (5 eles anyone?). I played HOT pvp for a little while but didn't really get into it. I don't enjoy PoF pvp. My issues with HoT and PoF were the power creep changing the pace of the game. With giant nerfs coming I am excited to play some more gw2 pvp! Outside of the story I don't do anything in gw2 these days. My two worries are that Anet won't go far enough with the nerfs, or that people will feel too disconnected with the classes if they are significantly weaker in pvp.

    How is everyone else feeling about the upcoming balance update?

    Starting living story 4 question

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 02:18 PM PST

    Been away from the game quite a while, and only just completed the POF storyline. Working on getting my griffon, and thinking about living story 4 thereafter.

    I'm curious what you guys think. What would be the easiest completion of living story 4 between these 3 options? Condi scourge necro, power chrono mesmer, power guardian dragonhunter. I enjoy all three equally, and just want to knock out LS4 as easiest as possible.

    Any opinions very welcome! Thanks!

    How to fix mouse flicker issues on 4K TV?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 10:22 PM PST

    So I have a computer setup to a 4K TV, and when scaling DPI and all that jazz to 4K, the game looks great and plays well, except the mouse disappears behind everything unless you move it and it flickers.

    I tried downloading yolomouse as I read this can help, but upon opening that program it immediately hides every window underneath the desktop and I have no resources online on how to fix this.

    Can anyone please help me with this issue? Also is there a way to make the UI larger than larger for a 4K TV?
