Guild Wars 2

The guesting service is not in game yet. When it is, you can be sure we’ll make an announcement letting everyone know.

Event creatures, story creatures, and world creatures are the same. (Unless, as noted, they’re “bosses” and have a different portait outline.)

Not yet beyond memory. We’re looking into tech solutions for displaying the paths you have run, but our resources are pooled more heavily in fixing bugs, exploits, and other issues before features like this will be worked on.

As a note though, I have brought this very thing up many times. I’d like to see a way for it to work with our achievement system without making a massive slew of achievements that clutter up that UI with even more information.

There has been and will continue to be. In the meantime, please continue reporting any suspected bots through the in-game ticketing system. Thanks!

Greetings everyone!

We’ve received lots of feedback regarding night capping. Many want to know how Arenanet views this. Our answer is that WvW was developed as a never ending continuous battle.

We feel that everyone should have the ability to contribute no matter what time of the day it is. How we’ve came to this conclusion is that no player’s time is more valuable than another. Everyone has different off peak hours for whatever reason. Players should not be punished or unable to experience and view the same content as everyone else because they play at a different time. They too are paying customers.
This is not saying that we are against any adjustment to scoring, or against developing another mechanic to improve the capping system. This is simply saying that we will not be changing WvW based on some players’ idea of off time hours.

Please use this thread as the main discussion for this topic.

No, they’re just items in the journal.

I haven’t played an engineer much… Have you tried a thumper turret (for aoe damage, taunt, and knockback) and/or a grenade kit (for aoe damage)? I don’t know their traits at all (I usually play thief) so I’m not sure if there are any good ones for boosting your survivability.

Unless it’s a “boss” (i.e. they have a special frame around their profile like veterans or champions) it’s exactly the same creature in story steps and the explorable world.

How can this not be priority #1. Ask Blizzard how they do it, anything. Instead your adjusting tokens, nerfing dungeons for people who run it too fast and all kinds of things while the majority of people can’t even get a group into the same instance??

We have multiple teams working on different things. In the case of this issue, we have programmers working on this solution since it is purely based on background things.

Whereas tokens and exploit fixes/nerfing/buffing is largely a design thing with code support for things we currently aren’t capable of (see: DR system). We’re actively working on an assortment of issues, and I guarantee you that the party functionality is top priority for a team of very dedicated folks.

Looking at it, some steps have items associated with them, some don’t. It’s not a bug or design change, it’s just the way it happened.

Hello everybody,
feedback is always appreciated. However, this thread is off-topic and it will now be locked.
Thanks for understanding.

Hello everybody,
although feedback is much appreciated, mentioning other games here is off-topic. Therefore, this thread will now be locked.
Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The team continues to work on multiple methods for dealing with gold spammers. In the meantime, please just continue reporting them. Thanks!

Since the game is in fact, not a subscription based product, this renders the question (and this thread) moot.

Hi all,

Jon Peters posted in this thread with an update on this. If you’ve been affected by this issue, or have other feedback about the system, please post there. In the meantime, I’m going to close this thread. Thanks!

JonPeters.5630:

I just wanted to update everyone on where we stand with this. So far we have found a single bug with the system that is causing certain players to get stuck in a state of reduced rewards without actually exploiting. A fix for this has already been made and is being tested locally now. We are going to do more significant testing on this new version but we also believe it is more bulletproof to begin with. Please keep posting data as these cases are somewhat rare and are hard for us to find with internal testing but seem to be exposed quickly when thousands of people are playing the dungeons.

All rewards are susceptible to our code that is dealing with people who are speed clearing dungeons. This means that if you are speed clearing and then play some new chain for the first time it may not reward the full 60 tokens. If you find yourself getting less rewards consider whether or not your rate of dungeon completion is extremely high.

If you think you are running at a fairly reasonable pace post all of the chains you have run and the time of day they were completed and we will file it to try and figure out if it is a bug. Please post accurate times, otherwise we cannot determine if there are in fact bugs in the system. Please continue to use this thread as a place to post this data so that we have it all in one location.

Thanks,

Jon

I reduced his health by roughly 50% in the 10/8 update.

Hey all we have some plans to fix some of this. It is currently being looked at so expect a fix in the next few weeks. Basically we like that Portal has this power, but it shouldn’t be able to bypass walls, etc.

As for the problems with players not appearing this is a more difficult engine problem to solve. While we would like to solve it there are definitely counters to this strategy, because anyone doing it has just clumped up their entire team for AoE nuking. Ultimately if they outnumber you by a lot there are much more effective ways for them to kill you.

We have the development of the ARS well in hand, thanks. It will be offered at no charge to players who experience specific game issues. We’ll have more information soon!

No journal items were added after relase. What are the two story branches in question?

“Everyone” is making a lot of assumptions about Legendaries. Assumptions based on pure conjecture. “Everyone” is not always correct :P

As far as I know, nothing has changed and player kills in WvW should not be affected by any sort of diminishing returns.

We are trying to adjust respawn rates in areas where the non event related respawns are just too fast. We know it can be a problem and we’ve already slowed down some spawns, but we also know there are more areas out there we need to look at.

If we know the map area and creature(s) involved we can usually find the spawns pretty quickly, so if you know of problem spots please give us as much information as you can and we’ll look into the spawns in those areas whenever we get a chance. Thanks!

It’s an issue we have on our list and we’re working on a fix for it.

Hey guys,

We’re really moving forward on the queues, so this thread is now for tickets that have not been answered for 4 days or more. Naturally, if you’re working with an agent and making progress, there’s no need to post here. This is simply for those posts that may have “fallen through the cracks” or which may need a secondary review.

Sorry everybody, there was a bug with some updates to the filter. Please continue to report any bugs you find here in this thread. The most fun bug has been corrected at this time.

For help on the forums, please be sure you use a descriptive title, as mentioned above. Posting with a title like “Access issue” or “Hacked Account” is so much better than “Help” or “Need Support.”

It basically looks like a large icicle. No particle effects or glowing.

This has been addressed in the sticky threads at the top of the Dungeon forum, but I will address it here as well to save you time.

The Diminished Returns system is currently bugged. We are working on a fix.

We’re currently not anticipating a hotfix for this problem. It is more likely to be fixed during the normal Monday patch.

Mystery solved! As such, this thread is being closed.

1) The forums are for discussing Guild Wars 2, not comparisons of other games.

2) Having worked for both companies before, during, and after launch, I can confirm (as has been done in multiple press releases) that those numbers are not indicative of either game’s population.

As such, this thread is being closed.

Hello everybody,
as it has already been pointed out by some of you, this thread isn´t about a game bug. Therefore, it will be locked.
Thanks for understanding.

We have a number of things in the works to help deal with gold sellers. In the meantime, please continue to report all you find. Thanks!

Thanks for the discussion folks, but it’s time to put this horse to rest.

We’ve posted in several of these threads at this point.

To reiterate what we’ve said in other posts: we’re very aware of this problem and are actively working on the group system. I personally hate this issue with the fiery passion of a thousand suns, and can’t wait for it to be fixed.

Hello everybody,
this thread is not exactly a game suggestion but rather a suggestion to users. Therefore it will be locked.
Thanks for understanding.

Hello everybody,
this thread supports a very good cause and it is appreciated that you, the players, care. However, the thread is off-topic and it will, unfortunately, be locked.
Thanks for understanding.

Hello Esorono,
your thread is now where you meant to post it.
:)

Hi everybody.

I just wrote an answer for this question in the following thread.

I will proceed now to close this one.

Hi everybody.

As I said, the team is fully aware of this issue and already working on it. For the moment you can keep those coppers or return the email (ok, a copper is a copper! ), but please, keep on reporting those fellows. We will forward this to the team to see if we can get an official statement today.

Thanks for your concerns!

Hi Riskers.

If you sent a ticket 14 hours ago, please, be a little bit more patient, as these issues tend to get resolved after some hours.

Hi everyone.

Although it is true that a great deal of concerns have arisen around this issue, it is hard for us to give a time frame for any additional features that we may implement (or not) in the near or further future. As you may understand, the dev team is working in progression, fixing new issues as they appear and they have a great work load in these moments. Because of that, it is impossible to foretell when this specific feature will arrive, if it arrives, but we will keep you of course updated about that.

Thank you very much for asking.
I will proceed now to close the thread.

Hi everyone.

Merged already. Please, keep on posting here as it is easier for the devs to look into these issues. Thanks!

Hi everyone.

Thanks for asking. Actually, housing was not on the launch table of Guild Wars 2 and it is certainly not a part of the game. You can post it into the suggestions subforum, should you think the devs should have a look at it.

I will proceed now to close the thread.

Hi Wookie Slayer.

They are closed because there are already threads in this subsection in which these issues are being discussed. We would like to keep the forums tidy and multiple threads discussing exactly the same issues all over and over again do not help to accomplish this.

I invite you to go around and contribute in those ones already open .
Thanks for your concerns. I will proceed to close this thread now.

I am pretty sure he was talking about the 9/17 patch (that already took place and was addressing issues with personal story and alike).

Hi everyone.

Thanks for expressing your concerns. We know the need of the community to be informed about what the dev team is doing to fix all the issues addressed. It is totally understandable that you want to know what is happening “behind the scenes” and we keep that in mind as an ongoing priority. We are indeed working on it daily and posting actively in different platforms, as well as in the official forums.

I will now proceed to close this thread.

Hi everyone.

The team is aware of this and they are looking now into it (this one copper thing) but for the moment, if you receive such an email (which you won´t be able to delete as the system tries to avoid the accidental deletion of attachments), just accept the copper but report immediately the user who sent you the email. You will not get banned for accepting that 1C.

Thanks for your concerns.
I will proceed now to lock the thread.

Hi Gombar.

Thank you for your concerns. The team if fully aware of all the community feedback regarding this issue and working on possible solutions. As this topic has been already discussed in this subforum, I will proceed to close it.

Thank you very much for your understanding.
