Trion, did you forget this stuff? (bugs)

It's now been more or less a year, and there are still plenty of PvP-specific bugs, oversights, anomalies or things that seem to have been half fixed.

1. Bolstering does not affect weapon DPS. This gives warriors/rogues with t2 weapons a rather significant advantage that is only getting worse as time goes on.
2. Most procs are not reduced for PvP, or it appears that only half their effect is. For example, the Totek's Will type trinkets heal the tooltip value with the instant heal but the HoT seems to be reduced. It means that expert healing weapons are probably better than t1 weapons for some callings. Dreamsources can be ~5% of a well geared player's DPS. And yet ethereal touch's damage is reduced correctly for PvP...
3. Various class abilities behave differently to how they probably should.

And then there are the things that seem to be intentional but make no logical sense:

1. The trinket slot is not bolstered. It's not just a proc slot any more, it'd be great if it got given some love.
2. The BA flag tooltip does not mention the healing reduction it applies.
3. Ghar Station Eyn is not always symmetrical with the 3 point egg spawns.

There's always more stuff to point out but it'd be nice if someone at Trion at least acknowledged the major issues that have been here since NT's release.

Trion, the unpopularity of Seastone is NOT because people hate WPvP

I honestly don't think most people hate it. But the reason players switch off of Seastone is all the inconvenience and ******** associated with being perma-flagged.


-If your game crashes in open world content like RRs/NMRs/CRifts, you'll be booted from the mixed party when you log back in (you're tossed into Seastone). Actually happened to me once when I was master looter in a SoL.

-You can't chat with Seastone defiants or add them to your list. If you wanna raid with a Seastone defiant then a non-Seastone guardian raid assistant has to invite you to the party (that's when you see Kitkatkitten yelling at Black Listed in crossevents for an invite to MS).

-You can't invite a defiant into your party, even if you were unflagged. You have to shard hop and THEN unflag.

-Getting a raid together when your core group are Seastoners is generally a pain in the ***. Everyone has to be unflagged and on another shard.

-You join some NTEs flagged and can't be healed or rez'd, and the PvP bug does all kinds of weird **** (it's kinda amusing figuring out how this "PvP" mode works in an NTE, though).


It's this crap that drives people off of Seastone, not the WPvP. WPvP is content. Some people dislike it, some people like it, but it's not why everyone plays on a PvE shard.

If all of these inconveniences are fixed, then people really wouldn't mind playing here. Otherwise, the only reason anybody would stay here is because of a guild.

Oh, and Seastone = Beststone, duh.
