Guild Wars 2

The event icon that denotes their location has disappeared as of the 7 June 2017 patch. The rift is still there.

I was rather disappointed to say the least that this happened without notification.

If the issue was with the icon being the same as a standard map event icon then a change to the rift icon would solve any “where is my event” issues that it may have caused with players that do not have a stabiliser.

It is now a bit of a click-fest where you either camp a known location or run around clicking in order to uncover them.

They still seem to complete as an event (“Event Succeeded!”) and count towards any daily events for the region.

I’ve talked with the NPC Auris Wierdbringer in Fields of Ruin in the hope that maybe this was deliberate in order to advance something. The conversation text says nothing.

I did read that there may something regarding “97” that the NPC initially mentions when we get the stabiliser and found some references to the Thaumanova Reactor fractal (#97) so I’m going to see if there might be anything to it.

Donari,

Thank you for that I appreciate it. I will have a look at the vendor in LA as you mentioned.

You’re right, that is an issue, and not a small one from my PoV. At the very least there should be a confirmation pane come up to tell you that your Huntsman is opening recipes intended for an Artificer (or any other as applicable)..

“You do not have the ARTificer crafting discipline on this character.
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIS!!!”

..or somesuch.

It would save a lot of wasted time, angst, anger, frustration and general “you-have-to-be-tossing-me!!” comments.

Ok,

My NEC has opened masteries for Revered Antiquarian and Magister of Legends. he has do the requisite Bloodstone and Jewel comination to get the Chest of Ancient Mysticism.

Neither my ARTificer nor WEAponsmith were 450, so I used my HUNter to open the chest ’cause she was 450+. The ingame chat panel told me the recpies had been learnt so I presume that they are available to my ART.

I’ve since levelled my ART to 450 so she can make the Experimental Staff Head and Shaft but I cannot find the recipes for them in the crafting list even though they are ART specific ASAIK.

What gives?

Client crashes in the middle of events are still annoying!

Ok, seem to be atm, see how long it lasts!

Is it at all possible to revert the changes that went in with the patch that caused this I wonder?

Same, sill getting the Network error 1083:5:7:1595:101 here.

All,

A friend of mine just discovered that she’d been hacked. While none of her characters had been pillaged, her bank account has…gold, items and anything NOT account bound was gone.

Apparently ANet provde 1 and only 1 account recovery in cases like this. Not much good if you get hacked multiple times to be honest.

Several thoughts come to mind about this…

- ANet should look at refining the password requirements. Sure, a password with speci@l ch&racters, numb3rs and capiTals might be all well and good, but if the password is all one word such as “OMGThisIsAGr3atGam3” it is apparently easier to hack than if you had the same password with spaces (ie “OMG This Is A Gr3at Gam3”). ANet need to do some more research into this to see if this makes it a lot tougher to crack and then notify the community of their findings;

- Given that numerous items in the bank and such are NOT account bound since they can be sold on the BLTC, maybe ANet needs to look into introducing an Option in the OPTIONS panel that LOCKS all items in the account (bank ,character etc etc) regardless. If the playert then wants to sell material and such, they then enter a SECOND [different to their login] password to unlock this option so that the player can sell items as they see fit. Once done, they then RELOCK the account ingame.

Certainly the mobile phone feature that ANet has as a part of security is nice. However I, for one, do not have a sophisticated phone…it’s a brick. Other people may also be in the same boat.

Providing additional security on an ingame player ACCOUNT basis makes it easier for everyone who plays to enhance their security.

No idea if ANet looks at these, but what the heck.

Cheers

Thanks Mercury, I’ll give the path a shot…much appreciated mate

G’day,

I’ve read that here is a bug with one of the paths to this personal story, specifically the one you can choose that deals with finding the lost skritt, as opposed to the centaurs.

I’d like to be able to follow the former rather than have to be forced down the latter due to a bug since it seems to me that the former may offer more of an insight into the Skritt hive intelligence..something piques my curiosity and am keen to investigate.
