Guild Wars 2

I honestly think that even if ANet really cares about some of the player needs, they have theirs as priorities. I see some changes as a way to induce gem shopping, aka real money income for them. You might think that they dont sell high end gear in TP, oh, but they do. I mean, they sell skins and stuff, but they also have a gem exchange system, so what stops some ppl from buying gems and then changing them for gold and buying their items? And I believe that ANet is interested in that more than in us having a steady way to make gold in game, they want more money. All ppl can say loads of stuff, but after all, they run a business and they aim at getting money- Sure they have a good game in GW2 but stuff like making you spend ages to farm mats for a legendary weapon that was already very hard to get, looks now even harder and longer after they damaged one of the ways in which we made some coins other than stalking the TP for items that got lower prices, buy, wait and resell when prices get higher enough to cover the selling fee and give you some money back. That is plain boring and kills the fun in the game, like grinding does. Maybe they want us to spend some time in a boring train as well. Killing the game again. Or maybe they want us to use the new mega boss event guild activation, to have a real small chance to get a precursor. Hell of boring and time consuming. I dont know, I see it all as a way to make the ppl that can, spend money to get things faster. And that is also a way to make the ones that can’t like me, to feel every day more frustrated at the game.
I really wish they would think a lil more in the folks like us that don’t spend the whole day in the game, that like to have fun in the game without having to log to complete dailies and champion runs and hard grinding in the hopes that some very far day we could get a really nice drop and finally make the dream of getting a really cool item to complete the build we want for the toon we use. Not asking that they make things too easy, just that they think a lil more before cutting the few ways we have to achieve those goals. all wishes and hopes….

Ok, this personal story mission is bugged to the point of making it unable to complete

I have done this mission 3 times now, and at the last boat it gets stuck at the part clear the final dead ship of risen, as the last group consisting of 2 hylek and the captain coloyaqui has issues, his 2 companions are spawning green, so I can’t kill them thus making it impossible to complete
I am attaching images of this

Oooh that would be bad right? unfortunately for us that was not the case, as the mision failed just as we started attacking her, so no time for us to die or for her to die, and on the other hands, we were right at the wp in the entrance of Ebonhawke so it would have been an insta respawn if we were killed, but we did not have time for anything of that, maybe 2 hits? and we got mission failed message, something weird I did not even see that message, my partner did and she told me, we continued fighting her nevertheless as I checked time and we had still almost 8 minutes left of the time to find and kill her and the other timer had just started, so in reality, I have no clues, that is why I am sure it was a glitch, sad it happened to us and ANet seems to not care too much or have their hands full with other things, as I sent a bug report with screens and came here as well.
Now we have been hesitant about activating another, they take so much time to build… to then fail without anything good? it would be nice to know if this was a once in a time thing or if it is a repetitive glitch.
Thank you guys

I am not posting any more replies about suggestions, implications or direct pointing to the out of time thing, as it has been stated VERY clear in the post and I believe that my english has been good enough, the bounty DID NOT FAIL due to time running out unless you count it in another layer of dimensional space. Feel free to add something else, otherwise let the devs and or mods handle it. THANK you all VERY much.

Hmmm, so let me get this clear
I activated the bounty, did not get any message, went into guild window, found it, told my guild mate I’d check her in wiki, checked wiki, how much time? It DID NOT take more than 4 minutes between activation, wiki checking, and going to the map, then not even a full minute before finding her as she was right in the second waypoint inside the town in the route I took from the first one, 2 chars going each one way using speed boosts from the more separated waypoints. Reading a text in a window, writing a name in wiki and watching the result did not take more than 3 minutes. When we started fighting her, it was not even 6 minutes TOP if you want to add some time wasted after we activated the Bounty, that is why I posted this here, if I were unsure, or if we took too much time finding her I’d not be posting it in forums, I am very sure we killed her even before 11 minutes of the time had passed, as it was yet 57 seconds left of the 5 minutes window when she gave up. That is the reason of this post. I wrote this in hope devs read it and find a fix for this possible glitch, or bug, or whatever it is because it is NOT funny or fair when things like this happen. I don’t know if there is another mechanic involved in a Bounty different than time, because we did it in time, and that also is the reason of this. Even if we were both under the effects of some psychotropic and were lost in time there was thins thing, she had been hit only twice? 3 times? not much as the failed mission message was almost immediate, very few seconds, I wrote 5, could have been less, but not more, I dont think my second attack had reached yet when it popped. The only thing I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE OF is that we did kill her very well inside the time we had for it. Thank you guys for your answers.

Well actually we found her in about 3 or 4 mins, as we used the wiki to see the path she takes, so when we started the fight we had more than enough time left of the 15 minutes we needed to find and subdue her, and we did that and had almost 1 full minute before second timer ran out; so it was not any of either timers running out. I guess it was a glitch? I dont know as this was our first Bounty Training ever. Thanks for your anwer though.

Today we activated our first Bounty Training Mission, we are a small guild and we thought we will try it and have some fun with this, we are only 4 people
For the bounty we could not get more than 2 however, but we thought it would be fun and challenging to try it with only two players.
We did not get any message after activation, (I think that this has to be corrected); so we had to check the guild window and there we found the mission tab, and in it was listed our bounty
We got Trillia Midwell, so we went to her map, tracked her down (This also needs some improvement, how are we suppossed to find her when the only clue is that she works with separatists? 2 players track the maps where separatists are? we were forced to use wiki to get her path, that is NOT fun). So, we got her and started the fight, but after only FIVE, (5) seconds of the fight, we get a message mission failed.
Why? is there a minimun of players required for the bounty? we beat her and there was still 1 minute left in the time window so she did not escape, so then why the mission failed? care to elaborate on this? not good for a small guild to have the only bounties we can do fail for no reason. BTW the fight was fun for the two of us, I wonder if the fights are escalated in difficulty to the amount of players? I dont see this mission fun for more than 3 or 4 people top, it would be easy.
Thanks in advance if you manage to read this and try to fix it.

I tried to play this new one time event but sadly, it was too bugged for me, could not complete phase 1 due to bugs, phase 2 was so lame and boring that I lost interest, and phase 3, wow, it got to a new level in game bugs, I just could not log until the event was ended. Priceless, so I see my friends with cool rewards and I, well, got nothign because could not even log for SEVERAL HOURS. Nice go ANet. Should I be angry or dissapointed?. I did not get a thing from this lagging event, every phase I tried was bugged, especially phase 1, and the 3 was a full unable to log bang. Id hope, like with the rest of the bugs that have prevented some of us getting some fun from the game, that ANet quits playing with our time and starts fixing their issues, they have us still beta testing the game after so many months. Lame. and oh please, fix the forums as well, most of the time I can’t reply to the topics here with the error “You are not allowed to post/reply in this forum” Jeez.

Are you ever going to fix the clipping issue with the female winged pants? so far they are the only ones worth wearing.
About the character: female human elementalist,
Clothing: It can be anything or entirely undressed, if you equip ANY winged pants, the stomach gets cut in half, it gets very evident with gestures, and this has been posted before and I cant find an answer
Brackwater hat of the lich
Carrion masquerade mantle of the lich
Valkyrie masquerade rainments of the lich
Berserker’s winged gloves of melandru
Berserker’s winged pants of melandru
Berserker’s winged boots of melandru
attached some images

Edit : Issue seems fixed with Lost Shores update, hope it remains like that. Thanks.

About losing the upgrades, it is not accurate, the upgrades will remain in the server where they were created, if you ever return to that server, they will be there. If some of the players want to remain in that server, they can still use the upgrades and if they do, they just need permission to use the upgrades that require it. The upgrades are server content so you will have to start from scratch in a new server, only talking about the upgrades. Your guild exists in all servers, it only has 0 members and influence. You can have upgrades in more than one server at the same time, you just need people in that server to gain influence.
