Guild Wars 2

So, I had no idea that we could no longer transmute equipped items and just wasted 2 of my paid fine transmuations stones, without any error messages or sound, or notification.

It’d be nice if these things could be prevented in the future. I don’t think the current ‘fix’ of disabling the effect while keeping the user uninformed is very effective.

Thou I do agree there should be a msg and it shouldn’t use the stones, but you should learn to read each patch notes for any updates, many don’t and then when something goes wrong due to them not reading it, they want to place the blame else where when it coulda been avoided by just reading the notes ^.^ I do agree there is a bug with it now that is using up the stones, just read the patch notes from now on and should be avoided

In a perfect world, that’s all good. However, only a small percentage of players actually read forums and patch notes and keep themselves informed. And honestly, they shouldn’t have to for the most part.

Same thing happened to me. It used to work and I just figured they were changing the UI a bit so. So I didn’t think it was using up a stone until I came across this thread and checked the number of stones remaining. I probably lost 3-4.

User interface method change I don’t mind so much, although I don’t see why it is necessary, but it should not use up a stone for an erroneous transform.

thanks for the heads up.

Interesting. I just tend to unequip anything I am going to use in a transmutation because I have never had an equipped pc work. I did not lose any stone in my attempt to use an equipped item so I can’t say if that is new or not.

Best advise I can offer is, unequip the item before you try using the transmutation stone. Works every time for me just fine.
