Guild Wars 2

It’s not really a serious issue for me, I can just allow for the specific ip’s to pass through the application. It would just be easier for me to get a complete range instead of individual ip’s. It’s kind of like I had to do for the http setup for the BLTP. There was a certain range I had to use in order for it to pass through the app. And that has worked forever. Now with HoT, and if your assumption is correct about the EC2 cloud service, then I would need to get my hands on those ranges to add to my white list. It’s either that or I stop using Peerblock….lmfao…yea right…that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Ok guys, whats going on? Just this past week I have been having all kinds of issues logging onto your servers and staying connected through zones. Did you guys purchase some new IPs across domains? Because from the pictures you will be able to see what I am seeing. Everything was fine with Peerblock for the past few years and now all the sudden I am having to allow certain IP address’s through my app. So something is going on. At one point in time I had a cleared list from ?.?.?.1 – ?.?.?.255 for you guys. And apparently that’s no longer working. I am just looking for some clarification on what IP address ranges are working so I can put them into my White List and not have to get booted from the game every time I zone into a new zone for HoT content.

And just for a little bit of clarification this is only happening when I zone into the HoT Maps. It does not happen in the regular vanilla maps.

That was the one thing I didn’t do and I did that this morning. It worked. I haven’t had to do a repair in so long I completely overlooked that option.

Much appreciated!!

Trying to get to these zones causes a CTD { Crash to Desktop }. I don’t know what’s causing it. Haven’t changed anything on my end since my new internet last month. And hadn’t had any problems till last night.

Anyone have any idea what is going on and why I can’t get to those zones?

I’ll look into it and see what I can find…It just seemed like it was taking longer to recharge after the latest patch. Thanks for the input…much appreciated!!

Is it just me or did this ability get a longer CD after the last patch on the 20th and not get mentioned in the update? I don’t remember it being 120s before.

Neither of these are attainable @tm due to the NPC not spawning to escort the Baby Bristlebacks. I have watched the Wardburough NPC group run off 4 times while I have been waiting for her to spawn and still nothing.

Sheet of Coarse Paper – Huntsman Availability, Not Present or Not an Option in Crafting

When I moused over the Sheet of Coarse Paper in our Treasury it says that a 400 Huntsman can craft this thing. I have a 500 Huntsman and there is no option to craft this thing. So I thought maybe I had to discover it. So I had all the stuff in my bank to be able to learn this item in the discovery panel but it does not show up as being learned from that tab.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this was a minor overlook and was never intended for the huntsman to be able to craft this item so I thought I would post a bug report on this item. Pictures Included.

I am so mad right now I could spit flax seeds!!! The achievement: Flights of Fancy for the Mordremoth fight is BROKEN, BROKEN, BROKEN I did this thing 19 times today ( And that’s no BS!! ). I’m done. I have had enough. I figured maybe I missed something during the first 10 or so times I did this event today. And this last time I know for a FACT I missed absolutely nothing and did it perfectly. So, this needs to be fixed. It’s the last achievement I need for the entire story and I’m done. So lets get’r fixed so I can go and do other things.

I would’ve thought for sure this fight would’ve been bug free by now but apparently not. So here is the video to show you what is wrong with this fight.

Can’t die, Can’t get to the portal, can’t finish it. So…what is wrong with this fight?

Just wanted to come back and let everyone know:

Roots of Terror
Chak Killer – Fixed
The Dark Path – Fixed

Cheers

Was out and about and found this in Kessex Hills by accident. Kind of comical in it’s own way. But I thought you guys might want to take a look into this. Nothing major whereas you can just walk around it but struck me as kind of odd out in the middle of nowhere and I bump into Something and I just know there is hidden Phat Lewts in there but I couldn’t figure out how to get into it to get those Phat Lewts!!

Ok, here is something I noticed earlier today while crafting Ley-Line Infused Tools for our guild hall treasury. It was showing I only had the ability to craft 1 tool yet I had a stack of picks in my bag for them. So I crafted that 1 pick and it used all 100 picks instead of 1 pick like the panel states. I know this may seem rather petty whereas picks are cheap but I still thought it as something that should be pointed out for this item when crafting it.

I made a video so you could see what was going on when I did this and I thought this might be a bug and figured I should submit this just in case.

https://youtu.be/98tnC2AMCgc

Got a new one for you guys. Well actually an old one. Chak Killer Achievement still not working. But being as I can’t seem to get that achievement to work I thought I would do a little exploring and I found a small glitch you guys need to check out and get patched. While it’s not an exploit or anything and serves no purpose other than to think outside the box I thought you guys should know about it so you can fix it.

It’s part of the story line progression of Roots of Terror

It should also be noted that I cannot get the Left Path to acknowledge that I took it either. So there is that as well.

Anyhoo…uploaded a video that I will leave up for a week so you guys can see what I found and hopefully get it fixed.

Cheers!!

Ponyboy.6145:

So after two days of wracking my brain on the Sign Cutting story bug, I’ve encountered one at the Mordremoth… sometimes it’s fine, but other times there’s no bridge to the Rift thingy… And one time I was flying and tossed into the air and it RESET THE ENTIRE STORY and I had to start over.

I am highly disappointed/frustrated by these two major bugs despite an otherwise polished game.

I ran into this bug as well during the Mordremoth fight. The rift was unattainable to continue once it went outside the area of fighting and Mordremoth becomes invulnerable. So you can’t continue beyond this point. All you can do is die and restart the fight again.

Read this post guys. I found a work around if you can find this specific IP Address which worked for me and 12 or 13 people.

ODB.6891:

Also unable to speak to scout acan. I was able to glide to him by jumping from a higher ledge…just like the previous quest npc said. but no response from acan. I have logged off and logged back on hours later with the same problem. I see many other players having the same issue. This is the third part of the “in their footsteps” personal story section. I have yet to try a different server. Hopefully this is something you guys fix instead of us having to do a hack work around. It has my story progress halted.

This took me awhile to figure out but I ended up parking a toon from a second account on this IP address and Acan was working every time. I even posted in the LFG for peeps to taxi to me for a working Acan. So if you have a the IP Address shown in the picture, Acan was working just fine there. Every other IP Address I was trying was failing miserably. Had 12 or 13 people that taxied to me said it was working for them as well.

Donari.5237:

One of the HoT changes will be tracking of such things, like we see in the karka hatchling hunt for Princess. I will work on finishing Dive Master and Dry Top coins once that is in place.

So if you can wait 2.5 more weeks, you’ll have a much easier time of it than repeating all the dives.

Oh Awesome…I will definitely wait then. I was going through the video again and being as you have said this I will gladly wait. /cheer

From a 3 year Veteran Player’s PoV.

Little Frustrated with this achievement. There is no way for me to know which dive locations I have already done. So here is a suggestion to make it easier to do for those of us veterans to the game and the dive locations we have already done. List them in the Achievement panel for the ones we have already done. Not the ones we still need. Just the completed ones.

I thought I had all 38 done but apparently I will have to go through all of them again to figure out which one I missed. I am currently 37/38 of this achievement by using a video on YouTube to figure out where they all are. But apparently because I have done some of them in the past I missed one someplace. So it would be nice if I had a list of them that I have completed in the panel for it.

Is this achievement even still possible?

After 1 day
387 Tiny Venom Sacs
244 Tiny Bags of Supplies
And numerous other odds and ends trying to farm the tongue and still nothing.

And yes I have farmed Morgatl Grounds, Cuatl Morass, and even Dengatl Grounds, and numerous other places for hours on end that have Hylek. But still to this day no tongue. And I also know this achievement came out in September of 2014 so it’s rather old but I’m surprised even after all this time I still have not EVER received a tongue after killing hundreds of these things.

On a side note, when the Beta was available to play in the new zone, I went there and on the first kill I got a tongue. >.<

Have you tried other weapon combinations? I myself have all my necros decked out with Dagger/Scepter / Focus / Axe combo. That setup is an absolute blast. But you do have your secondary skills with staff to burn your foes…such as Well of Suffering Well of Corruption and so many others as well.

There are a LOT of different ways to play a necromancer. You just have to think outside the box.

If your looking for some build ideas you can check here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Post-Your-Build-Thread

Or you can check this website as well: http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki

And you can always google Guild Wars 2 Builds. There are tons of sites out there that explain in great detail how to maximize players abilities with their class.

Just don’t get frustrated with the necromancer class. It’s a class that is very underestimated in the game. And you would be surprised at how many people seem to think they are weak or underpowered. I chuckle every time I see someone post something like that. It’s just not true. Most of the time it’s the player not knowing the information they need to know to maximize the potential of the class being played. And you came to the right spot to get questions answered. This Forum. =)

Ok, well I tried to explain it to you as best I could and as ACCURATELY as I could…But I guess I don’t know how to play Necromancers. It’s why I have 5 of them. And I have been playing them since launch.

So, you can believe it’s a bug. And everyone else will tell you it’s not. But I suppose the only way your ever going to believe it is if a Dev comes in here and tells you the same exact thing I told you.

Ah well…I tried…Back to Rhendak

Cheers

Unfortunately that is NOT how Necromancer Staff Marks work. I think you may be misinterpreting the definition of triggering between Rangers Traps and Necro Marks. And just so we are very clear on the differences between the 2 classes I have some pictures for you to enjoy so you know exactly the difference between the 2 classes and their abilities.

I myself run 5 Necros and 5 Rangers on my main account. So I know the difference. And it’s also why I DO NOT run staff necros because I do not like the way Marks are designed to work. And all 5 of my Rangers are Trap Specialists.

Make sure you read the definitions of exactly how traps work and how marks work.

If you look at the Marks Skills they all say they must be triggered. Which means stepped into. It’s not a bug and it’s the way marks have worked since launch.

When you look at the Ranger traps Flame Trap does not need a trigger. When set it burns foes immediately.

When you look at Vipers Nest it requires a trigger. Which means it has to be stepped into to trigger.

When you look at Spike Trap it must be triggered as well. Which means it must be stepped into in order to work.

When a player is in a downed state they cannot move or walk or run into a mark or a trap. So in essence they cannot trigger a mark. The only trap from a ranger that would effect them in a downed state would be the Flame Trap. None of the other traps would effect them at all. Same goes for the marks. They must be triggered.

Hope this helps clarify these skills for ya.

Ok, I just confirmed with 3 separate accounts that the going to PvP and back again DOES NOT WORK!!!

Going to try map clearing and see if that works. Caledon Wurm is the daily so I’ll send these 3 accounts to do that event and then come back and let you know the results after I kill Rhendak again.

Ok, did Wurm and came back to Rhendak and killed him. Got the chest on 1 account and not the others. Not sure what that is about.

I also tried zoning to different zones with multiple different toons on multiple different accounts and got the same results. No Chest on certain characters on certain accounts but did get it on other toons that didn’t zone or do other events to complete this.

There is something SERIOUSLY borked with this event.

NOTE to ANet: How do you expect us to complete these achievements Treasure Hunter if the ability to complete them is botched like this? Com’on guys. You put this stuff out there and you expect us to try and complete them and when these events fail like this it’s extremely frustrating. You guys really need to get a grip on these events when they offer something like a reward as Rhendak’s Signet but can’t get it because the event that offers the item(s) is not available because of coding errors or whatever. Please get this fixed. I’m so tired of broken events and things like this when I’m trying to get the achievements. Been playing this game every day since launch and have only missed 6 days total in all that time. I don’t play anything else. 5600+ hours played. I think I have put my time in to be recognized as a dedicated player and should be taken seriously when I say it’s BROKEN!!!

I have gone through numerous different attempts to acquire this ring aside from buying it which I won’t do. It’s not about the money. Gold isn’t an issue for me. Trying to earn the achievement is. And when these events fail like this I get so peeved because of the countless hours and time spent trying to get these achievements done can’t be completed because of the event failure(s).

So I’m asking you guys to please get this fixed. I’m sure there are a lot of new players that when they see things like this they get a lot more discouraged than I do when it fails. Focus on your players grievances. Pay attention to what they say and why they are saying it. I’ll bet 75% of the time from dedicated players like myself, we aren’t kidding when we say it’s broken and needs to be fixed.

Something I was noticing as well was the fact that Rhendak doesn’t reset as an event on the 24 hour basis like other events. Why is this? Numerous and Countless other events that are similar to this event in other zones in the game all reset on a 24 hour basis. Why doesn’t this one?

Back to Rhendak!!!

Well, I finally got around to recording this one. Hopefully ANet takes a look at this thread and watches the video. I think I know how it’s bugging out before the end boss. Done this dungeon path so many times now and I believe I have found a pattern to this madness.

Watch the video and you’ll see she bugs out yet again at the end boss after we completed the previous encounter. But the only thing I have noticed is that every time she bugs out it only happens when someone dies during the breeder event. So long as everyone lives during that event it will work every time perfectly.

Currently only have 1 Warrior @tm. And working on a 2nd one. But I’ll post Andrias pic only till I get my other one decked out in her Ascended Gears.

I’m a big fan of the Necromancer class. So here is a few of mine.

All different builds. All different setups.

Couple of my Mesmers.

Ariel Balor being my very first toon I ever made for the game.
Christy Balor I made a few months ago to try a new playstyle.

Here’s a couple of my Guardians.

Here’s a few pics of my Ele’s.

Name: Mandy Balor – 100% Condition Build
Name: Logan Balor – Hybrid
Name: Candy Balor – 100% Power Build
Level: 80
Age: Mandy -1683 Hours
Age: Logan – 33 hours
Age: Candy – 42 Hours

History: The name Balor comes from an old game named Ultima – The The First Age of Darkness. There was a series of books that came out that told the story of how the Balor Family came into existence and showed in the third book of what the family tree looked like. While Mandy Balor is not any part of the family lineage or is she any relation to the game of Ultima in any way the name Balor has stuck with me ever since I first played that game back in the day. not that I’m showing my age lol

But all of my toons have the last name of Balor including Lord British’s daughter Ariel Balor. There are a few Tristens in my slew of characters as well. But that is for another story. I even just recently made Logan Balor Lord British’s only Son for whom was a huntsman in the books. And Candy was just something I was trying out in a Power Built ranger to see what I could come up with in a new build. And she is by far my hardest hitting ranger I have.

I don’t know why I have liked this last name so much, but the game Ultima I think made an impact on my life and it’s why the name has stuck with me for so long.

And I have to say that Rangers in this game are by far my favorite types of characters to play.

Just a quick note to you guys at ANet for fixing the Rangers issues we have been having here lately. I’m not all about discouragement and despair when my class is all foobarred. I give praise as well when it deserves it. So Kudos for fixing these issues.

The Pet AI is finally fixed. The Traps are all fixed and my Rangers play just like they did before. And I REALLY enjoyed doing dungeons with them again last night. It was so nice to finally be able to get back into my routine and get the job done that needed to be done.

Cheers!! Game On!!!

P.S. Now it’s time to get the dungeons fixed!!

Excellent Build Ragnar. I myself have been a Trapper Ranger since the very beginning. I love the playstyle. LB/SB with traps has always been my combo setup on my main ranger. Wouldn’t change it for anything. I have a few different variations on setup compared to yours but generally the same thing. I love the trapper setup. Excellent Video. Thumbs up for that one!!

Yup…Confirmed here as well.

Video showing the details. No Music, No Dialog, Just Bugged this time. Takes too much time and effort to keep adding in all the flavoring for these bugs.

Yup – Trap Rangers got the nerf bat handed to them in this latest patch and I have no idea why…

My Video of this HORRIBLE Nerf!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TzgaDs9PVM

Oh yea…my Ranger Trap Build just got screwed!!! And NOTHING was posted in the patch notes about it!! Why?? Why?? Why?? Seriously?? I mean were the Rangers so OP that a nerf to traps was actually necessary? Just screwed my MAIN toon for this game. It’s bad enough the Pet AI is so foobarred right now it’s frustrating enough to try and play with a pet without having to mash F3 all the time to keep it passive. But now the Trap Rangers get the nerf with the traps too?

My Video of this HORRIBLE Nerf!!! Bad Bad Bad Call Anet!!!

Yup I found this bug as well and just swapped Maps and they stacked. Got the info from map Chat while in Hoelbrak when I asked about it there.

I know you guys know about this bug. But I can’t seem to understand why it hasn’t been fixed yet. Pictures don’t seem to be enough anymore to tell the story so video was the next step.

This has been going on for well over a year now and it is still around. I created a video to show you guys exactly what is wrong. Don’t know why Magg bugs out like this but hoping you guys can look into it and get it fixed. I have submitted I don’t know how many bug reports from the game bug report function and still nothing got done about it since I first encountered this problem in the dungeon so long ago.

So now I submit a video for you guys to look at. This dungeon gets very frustrating when trying to teach new players how it works and then the dungeon itself fails. It doesn’t look good to new players and I can imagine the discouragement when something like this happens to them.

This might seem a bit nit-picky but I was curious if the Mesmers combo field is restrictive to the Mesmers initially or does it account for the individual using the combo field? I noticed this earlier this morning when I was running a few dungeons that had Mesmer’s in the groups. Using their combo fields (which is AWESOME btw) I noticed that the display was showing combos of bolts instead of blades? Being a Warrior class I use GS/Axe-Axe combo and in the combo field it was showing me using the combos of Confounding Bolts, Healing Bolts and Burning Bolts? Being I have blades for weapons wouldn’t it be more along the lines of me creating Confounding Blades and Healing Blades and Burning Blades instead? Or am I missing the the whole concept of Mesmer combo fields and how it works?

Pictures included so you understand what I’m getting at

Thanks to Lahrun for that post about how to fix it. It has been driving me nuts for the past couple of days and with your idea it worked. I got our upgrades working again and everything is back to business. Cheers!!!

I think it is fixed. for now I lead EoTM yesterday for the full 4 hour and didn’t have so much as one hiccup. I’m almost to the point of thinking that this game has an attitude at times. It works when it wants to. There are days when it runs absolutely fantastic and there are those other days when it is giving me the middle finger. lol

Khisanth.2948:

Sounds like a disk and/or RAM issue.
Support can probably help you run checks for those if you are not sure how. You can create a ticket at https://help.guildwars2.com/anonymous_requests/new

Funny you should mention that….I did a disk check on that partition and it came back clean. I then did a Ram Parity check just to be safe and it all came back clean as well. I’m not sure what was going on. The last time I did a repair which was a couple of hours ago it did finally download some new files. 20MBs worth. So I’m guessing it finally found something to fix. And so far so good. Played an hours worth of EoTM and didn’t have any issues during that time. So, I dunno what was going on. But 5 times in a row was making me think bad thoughts. lol Anyways, appreciate the reply. Cheers

This is the first time in a LONG time this has happened. I can log into the game and play for about 15 to 20 mins. Then CTD with the window stating there is corrupted data in the archive. I have run the repair 4 times so far today. And every time it has replaced no files or downloaded anything to fix the archive. I really do not want to Re-Download the game. I’m currently in the middle of repairing the archive again for the 5th time today while I type this up. What could possibly cause the game to be doing this?

Same here…Guild Bank issues. I can access every else’s Guild Banks except my personal Guilds Bank.

Ok, thanks guys….I did end up selling it to the vendor. Didn’t feel like waiting for weeks on end for it to sell in the BLTP.

Why can’t I sell this for the 1s.29c in the BLTP? I would make 9c profit @ 1s19c compared to selling it to the vendor for 1s10c after listing & exchange fees and or waiting on the other 239 to sell @ 1s30c for weeks on end?

It doesn’t matter anymore now…it’s been patched because the 12’s cried about it. So, time to move on. I’ll go back to our private farming with my guildies only again. No biggie.

@Hayashi – you are right about one thing…Blix definitely was NOT the only farm around. But we’ll keep that as Guildies Eyes only information as to the other farms.

My Time Played: 3771 Hours for 771 Days. 80% of that time FARMING!!!

All I can say is.. bye, have fun, don’t let the Cursed Shore door hit you on the way… too late!

What I find so interesting is you would go out and buy a game, invest in it in order to spend most of your time farming the same things over and over and over.. all power to you though, I appreciate your sacrifice in the name of economy (that’s the reason you all exploited Blix apparently , right? ) … .. still I guess fun means different things to different people… thanks for coming here today though, av fun and be looty

Ok…I have run into this issue a few times and it gets a tad annoying.

Ex. – Was in COF – had a really good group. Got to the end of path 2. 1/4 health left on the stone. The Group lead that opened the dungeon for everyone died to fire. Told him to sit tight we would rez him after the fight. His words “F—- You Guys!!!” and left the dungeon and kicked us all out.

This needs to be looked into. I don’t care about the swearing. Couldn’t’ care less about their etiquette in the dungeon. They were mad because we weren’t going to rez them with less than 1/4 health on the Flame Stone. When the lead of the dungeon opening bails it ruins the entire run by kicking everyone out.

You guys need to look into this feature. It’s kind of unpleasant when you go through all that work to get to the end and then get pwn’d by a 12 year old with an attitude. =(

Well…I searched around the forums and it seems some of the posts about botters in the game have disappeared. So I guess I’ll start this one.

You guys need to take a look on Ehmry Bay in the Dungeon of Honor of The Waves. I currently have 4 people on my friends list that I know are botting that dungeon.

How do I know? When they come out of the dungeon they teleport to the WP there…which is fine that’s possible. Why you would do it, I don’t know considering it’s right outside the dungeon but whatever. So then, after that they teleport to the instance of the dungeon. This I know is not possible by normal means of the game. After about 25 to 30 mins they reappear on the edge of the dungeon instance teleport to the WP and teleport back to the dungeon entrance and do this over & over & over for hours on end.

And if you watch closely enough you will see them do the same exact movement on the dungeon entrance with a little hop before they go in. Every Time!!!

So I have been reporting 1 guy for over a week now and nothing is being done. Wonder why the Market is like it is? That would be why. Get rid of the botters and get rid of the problem.

You guys have done really good down in Cursed Shore. Out of the 12 botters I reported a few weeks back are now gone. That is much appreciated. But now it’s time to take a look to the north and see what is going on there.

I’m always watching for botters. Everywhere I go and in every zone. Been doing this for so long and they are always so predictable. You just have to know what to look for.

Cheers
