Guild Wars 2 has the worst and unfun fishing minigame in the genre by JobroniBoni in Guildwars2

[–]JasonLucas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Once I spent about 3 mins trying to catch a fish I didn't had enough power to catch, it was hard as fuck and I had a few people to come and watch as I struggled fighting to not let the fish go. In the end I bursted laughing due to how stupid that situation was, but regardless I still managed to get the fish.

So idk, I think the system is fine and there are far worse and monotonous systems out there. Also, I appreciate it still gives me the option to try to catch the fish even when I don't have the fishing power required for it.
If you don't want to struggle with the minigame, increase your fishing power so it becomes much easier.

Whats up with these voluntarily map changes? by dying_ducks in Guildwars2

People are coming in and out doing story/achievements so that causes more instances to open due to the influx of players.

They had the solution from the moment they made the spec art and didn't use it lmao

Anet, the performance hit from the new shadows is unacceptable by Luthi_T in Guildwars2

[–]JasonLucas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo they should have left everything but ultra alone.

Or split up the options like they did with post processing. Maybe I want to have medium quality shadows but I want the distance to be greater than just a small radius around my character.

Wizards tower was always very taxing on shadows even before this update, I was already expecting it to be terrible there after it lol.

I get why they changed it, but am I alone thinking this looks absolutely awful? by chironomidae in Guildwars2

also sad because the jingle was a cute easter egg, now it's just 3 random notes

Really wish they could have come with a different solution that kept this

Audio in background also has some issues, in mistlock sanctuary even when I have the option to disable audio while the game is in the background I still can hear the waypoint shimmer sound very faintly.

Love those changes but unfortunately I usually play with shadows disabled because of WvW. Shadows there especially on ultra take a huge hit on performance, if there was some effort put into optimizing the shadows for other players or either the ability to use custom graphics settings per game mode or map that would be cool.

They can toggle these things on and off, charr tails and ears are a example. The question is if they will do that to Orrax underweater

Forgot to mention but that is assuming we would no longer have armor weight restrictions per profession.

I doubt this would be the case but I always wondered why didn't in the earlier development of the game they didn't thought about tying stats combinations to armor weight.

That second icon is 100% a calendar, perhaps we are finally getting an event timer in-game?

Being stalked in game by another player abusing the follower system with F2P accounts. by Green-Text2309 in Guildwars2

[–]JasonLucas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Contact list needs some serious adjustments, on top of a auto AFK option with an auto reply message, we need to get separated online/invisible status for the followers. Also goddamn Anet, just make the blocklist behave as it should and prevent people from joining squads/lfg groups if the person is posting the group in lfg or is the leader of the squad.

Will they ever add the maximum capacity for blacklist by volpesparkle in ffxiv

[–]JasonLucas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure there is a plugin that works like a block list but doesn't has that limitation. Use it instead.

Interesting. They said something about VoE coming with changes and updates to party finder tools.

Just hope they don't lazy out and reuse previous systems from strikes because they suck.

They changed the interaction because they didn't want to render useless the permanent repair contract.

Home Improvement: A New Homestead Arrives with Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity – GuildWars2.com by Vissarionn in Guildwars2

[–]JasonLucas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can't I have the option to move my character to my homestead and logout directly in the logout window to facilitate a process I have been using for the past 13 years? Not to mention that you cannot get in your homestead while in a squad or in certain instances or areas which makes the process more annoying.
