Whilst awaiting a fix/response, have you tried a -repair of the client, in case of corrupted file(s)?

Not seen too many reports about this here on the forums.

Good luck.

Yes, repaired and even reinstalled the client. No change. I ran across another post with this issue, as well.

Archranis.2375

Can we please get a fix for this? It’s been going on for quite a few weeks. I confirmed it’s also happening in PoF with Weaver during the stress test.

It can be repeated very easily — when you revive from a downed state, the problem shows up.

I usually use mine shortly after reset each day, and sometimes I get weird behavior like this, too. Usually it corrects itself if I try and use it a bit later.

Weaver needs weapon swap

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

It just occurred to me that there is no need for a weapon swap to switch main/off-hand attunements. You just have to active the attunement that’s already set for the off-hand, and that effectively does a switch.

The problem with using the waypoint is you’re not guaranteed to get in the same map. I’ve been in squads and after waypointing was in a different map — when I tried to rejoin in my commander’s map, I got the message the map was full.

I never understood the reason for killing everyone off — why not just a teleport in the same map back to the starting waypoint.

Weaver needs weapon swap

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

Weaver is unplayable if you can’t swap leading with off hand weapon. Off-hand skills are powerful but for situational use and waiting 4 seconds makes them useless. The defense skills you need to stay alive as always buried under 4-7 second cooldowns.

Swapping main/off-hand weapons is interesting, but I was specifically talking about swapping the two active attunements, not weapons — and if the Ele is using only a single attunement, then weapon-swap would be deactivated. Ele has never been able to swap weapons [during combat], and personally, I don’t think that mechanic should change.

Archranis.2375

For Ele’s, weapon swap is equivalent to changing attunements (the “on weapon swap” behaviors apply to an Ele when they change an attunement). So there is already precedence for it being tied to weapon swap (but what I’m suggesting would only trigger the weapon swap effect once).

Weaver needs weapon swap

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

I think Weaver should be given a weapon swap, which switches main/off-hand attunements. Having to go through two cycles of attunement changes just to do the swap is painful. Was this considered during the Weaver design?

Maybe add the weapon swap ability when Weaver is traited and put it on the same global cooldown as the other attunement changes?

Archranis.2375

Nope.

I ended up like you — golem too congested to really try out anything, and wandering around elsewhere kept getting ambushed and killed. People are playing real PvP and WvW in those maps even though it’s demo time, not a place someone who just does PvE (like me) to play around with the new specs. So whatever the reasons, it seems PvE folks have been left out in the cold to test the new specs (except for hitting practice golems).

In PoF, What Reward Does UnID Gear Replace?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

To me, if the purpose of UnID gear was only to save bag space, then there wouldn’t be any cost to ID the gear, and you wouldn’t have to complete a heart to do it. There is clearly other motivation behind the UnID system. Perhaps somebody on the design team thought it would be a way to add some interest to the game? If so, I think they were severely mistaken.

When I see things tied to repeatable hearts, I think that it’s a way to try to get people to keep coming back to the zone and stay there for a while; once a zone has lost its novelty, these kinds of mechanics can serve to bring people back. And if that’s the case, then having rewards based on “time in the zone” would be a much better way to go about it rather than to introduce “busy work” necessary to get things gated behind repeatable hearts. After doing them several hundred times, they get to be so boring, even the rewards you can get from them don’t make it worth the bother to do them. And WHY WHY WHY do we have to re-discover their locations after every reset?

Just my opinion. I’m sure there are many differing points of view.

Pros:

  • Mounts, overall: AWESOME.
  • Zone art: GREAT.
  • Hydras: GREAT.
  • Terrain: GREAT (straight-forward to navigate — no disappearing updrafts, “tangling” maps design, etc.).
  • Bounties: GOOD. Like this idea.
  • Raptor race: GOOD. Like this idea.

Cons:

  • Exit mount while falling: MEH — Would like to pop into glider if mount is in free-fall (just like if not mounted) instead of being forced to land.
  • Mount steering with right-mouse: POOR — doesn’t seem as responsive as using keyboard when standing in place.
  • Sous Chef Mastery: TERRIBLE. Not fun; simply tedious.

Overall: Looking forward to the expansion.

OP, I’m not near my game machine right now, but I have a 32" 4K display (and old eyes) and don’t have any trouble reading it…maybe I’m not trying to read the same text??

Well, your eyes might just be better than mine. :-) Are you running at full, 3840×2160 resolution?

On my screen, the actual size of the text at the bottom of the window is just slightly larger than 1mm, and at a distance of my eyes to the screen of 24" and the current colors, it’s just too hard to read.

I posted the same bug about 2 hours before you did :-) : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Ele-Skill-Bar-Bug/first#post6688404

I’ve been able to reproduce the bug: After reviving from a downed state, the current attunement’s icon is no longer the larger one that you’d expect. Once you change attunements, it goes back to the way you’d expect. Hopefully this will be sufficient info for the dev team to do a fix.

For the last couple weeks, the Ele Skill Bar periodically does not highlight the current attunement. I submitted an in-game bug report for this quite some time ago, but no word on it.

Top image is what I’m expecting (has been like this forever), bottom image is what I’m seeing now, periodically.

Home instance critters for dog lovers

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

Having critters in the home instance is a great idea, but do they have to all be cats? Could we please get some that are Dogs for those of us who really, really, do NOT like cats? Nothing against cat-lovers, to be sure, but there are many of us who want nothing to do with cats, and there are some [potentially] fun quests we’re opting out of, because they’re coupled to cats.

I’m talking about sizeable dogs (50+ lbs., not foo-foo dogs or puppies): Rotts, Labs, Mastiffs, Danes, St. Bernards, etc. Or maybe wolves?

And maybe to cater to both audiences or those who would collect both, an NPC in the home instance that can be used to set whether the cats and dogs are friendly to each other, dogs chase cats, or cats chase dogs? I think that would be hilarious.

Ele selected attunement icon not highlighted

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

When Elementalist chooses an attunement, the icon for the selected attunement changes size/position so the top of it is a bit higher than the other attunements. For the last several weeks, this doesn’t happen consistently and there is no indication from the attunement selection icons which attunement is currently selected.

In general, it’s easy to see what attunement is selected by the weapon skills, but if you are holding something that temporarily overrides your weapon skills, and you don’t have any utility skills chosen that change their icons based on current attunement, it is difficult to know what attunement you’re currently in while fighting (you could always look at the animations around your wrists that indicate attunement, but the screen is often too busy for that).

Swapping attunements seems to temporarily fix this problem, but it returns. I don’t know what combination of events causes the problem to show up.

I submitted an in-game ticket for this, so this post if FYI if anyone else has this problem.

I have all the boxes checked in the combat log, but there are no entries at all for damage that I’ve taken. So I get killed, check the combat log to see what killed me, and there is nothing that indicates I took any damage.

Unchecking and re-checking the boxes seems to fix the problem (at least temporarily), so it appears that something happens that gets the checked boxes out of sync with what is actually being displayed.

Gathering tools: Next Generation

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

There have been lots of discussions about gathering tools, specifically surrounding the Watchwork Mining Pick and the new Unbound tools. I don’t want to debate whether or not they give an advantage. I’d like to propose a long-term solution that I think will cover [nearly] all the bases.

—> Make gathering tools behave similar to an Ascended Weapon.

  • All characters are permanently equipped with the 3 gathering tools.
  • Gathering tools are skinnable (see below)
  • Each gathering tool has a “gathering charges” slot (see below)
  • Each gathering tool has a “special ability uses” slot (see below)

Skinnable
By default, the gathering tools have no special appearance or animation. If you want to get those things, you can buy the skin from the Gem Store which gives the tools a special appearance/animation, similar to what you do today for the special infinite tools.

Gathering Charges Slot
The Gathering Charges Slot contains the number of gathering charges left for that tool. It can hold the same number of charges as an inventory slot (250). You can buy additional charges from merchants, just like you do today — the difference is that they can be stacked/split. The charges stack can be removed from the tool and placed in your inventory/bank and split/combined just like any other item. You can buy a special “infinite charge” from the Gem store, similar to what you do today for the special infinite tools. Charges are specific to the tool type (so you can’t put harvesting charges into a mining tool).

Special Ability Uses Slot
Similar to the Charges Slot, this contains the number of uses remaining for a special ability. They are specific to the tool type. Like things that go in the Charges Slot, it would accept both consumable (which can be stacked/split) and infinite versions. To match what we have today, an “Infinite Watchwork Sprocket” ability would be available on the Gem Store that can be placed in the mining tool’s special ability slot. There would also be “Infinite Unbound Magic” abilities from the Gem Store for each of the gathering tools. You could also buy some number of unbound magic ability uses from karma vendors. The vendors today that sell unbound magic gathering tools for karma would change to actually sell you 2 things: a number of charges, and a number of ability uses. To eliminate what some feel is a “pay to win” aspect of the Watchwork Mining Pick that’s only available on the Gem Store, a vendor could sell uses for the Watchwork Sprocket ability.

I think this eliminates any potential “advantage” or “op-ness” of some of the gathering tools, makes it much easier to get the look you want for your character(s), and makes managing charges a bit more convenient due to the stacking/splitting capability. It also opens the door for some potentially interesting future upgrades. For example, there could be an ability that gives you a 2% chance to get a drop of a map-specific currency with each use.

Understanding Tooltips -- how?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

I have been searching for well over an hour for a comprehensive description of how to interpret the game’s tool tips. I can’t find anything that is simple and straight-forward. There are lots of formulas, etc. I’m looking for the basics. For example, when a tooltip lists multiple targets, does the damage listed apply to each target, or does the damage listed get distributed among all the targets? In other words, does a 100 damage skill for 5 targets do 20 damage per target or 100 damage to each target (subject to modifiers, etc.). I can’t find that anywhere I’ve looked.

Can anyone point me to a reference that explains how to understand the tooltips?

Guild halls and Grappling

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

I don’t think we’ll ever see bouncing mushrooms or updrafts as items users can place. The grapplers just need to be given a position; there are no additional parameters for their behavior. Bouncing mushrooms need a trajectory — where you bounce to, how high, etc. Updrafts need a height and position in air (guild hall placeables need an anchor point to place objects next to). There is no mechanism to give mushrooms and updrafts these additional parameters.

Official Episode 5 Feedback Thread

  • Map artwork: another home run — beautiful!
  • New mastery/skill — absolutely love it. And the fact that you can use it while gliding makes it even better. Would love to see more skills available while gliding, like you did in Bloodstone Fen.
  • Story arc — combination of cliff-hanger and confusing — is this headed anywhere or is it a dead end, story-wise. So kinda meh there. May have benefited from a bit more development/elaboration as part of the story.
  • Story fights — just the right level of difficulty/complexity for solo play.
  • Map navigation — a bit confusing, but I’ll need to explore more. I like the verticality of it, but trying to find the way around while doing the story without the new mastery gets frustrating at times.

A couple suggestions:

  • When there’s lots of overlapping “layers” like we have in the new zones (especially this newest one), the mini map loses a lot of its usefulness. When things are on different layers (like waypoints, etc.) the mini map doesn’t help much. Maybe add a mode to the mini map so that the “interesting spots” (poi’s, waypoints, vistas, etc) display on the minimap regardless of the layer that they’re on, and highlight them somehow whether they’re above/below/at the layer the player is on.
  • Navigating in the new map was a bit of a challenge without the new mastery. Perhaps including elements in future stories that help you learn some of the ways to get between the layers of the map as part of the story step itself (like how the personal story takes you all over Tyria). At least just enough for a basic way to get around the different layers until you explore the rest of it later on.

Overall: nice work!

Do you like Fractals? Are you an expert? Noob? Maybe you’ve been shying away from Fractals because you’re not sure how to do them? If you have any interest in Fractals, [JUGs] would be a great guild for you. Lots of our members really enjoy Fractals and run them often. We even regularly have events to teach people new to Fractals how to do them at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone, plenty of time to practice the puzzles, with lots of fun and laughs all around.

So whether you’re a Fractal expert, newbie, or are just getting ready to take your first steps, [JUGs] is a great guild where you will really enjoy “getting your Fractal on”.

Hi Pia,

If you meet our age requirement (over 30), I’d like to extend an invitation for you to join our guild, Just Us Grownups.

We’re a small guild that’s built on the principle that older, mature and well-mannered gamers don’t need an extensive amount of structure to play the game together. What really sets us apart is that we don’t have officers and it’s the membership itself that runs the guild and protects itself from drama.

Here are the basics:

  • We’re on the Jade Quarry server (NA) but since we’re PvE all North American servers are welcome.
  • We’re a small guild that would like to remain small (for the sake of manageablity)
  • We have a fairly equal balance of both male and female players
  • We have a fully upgraded guild hall
  • We have a Teamspeak 3 server and a comprehensive and active website

We’re looking for members who are going to interact with the guild both game-wise and socially.

If this sounds like something that you’d be interested in, you can read more about us by visiting our site and reading

Just Us Grownups: A New Way to Run a Guild

Have you ever been playing GW2 and been kicked from a group because you made a few mistakes or were going a bit slow while you were learning a new character profession? Well, you won’t have to experience that in [JUGs]. We’re all about enjoying each others’ company and having fun while we’re playing the game — and we have players at all experience levels, and often have events that get tailored for beginners or where skill level isn’t that important. For us, the most important thing is to have a good time.

If you’re looking for a guild where you can really enjoy yourself, and have the chance to play the game with guildmates at a skill level you’re comfortable with, then [JUGs] might be just what you’re looking for. Check us out.

Sometimes it can be pretty tough completing those achievements that require you to kill the boss in a really short time, avoid getting hit, or could really use the capabilities of a particular profession. Well, you can easily complete those achievements with help from your friends in [JUGs] — and have a lot of fun doing it.

Our guild members are always ready to lend a hand, and you will find that even things that have been a struggle for you in the past, can turn out to be fun when you do them with your friends in [JUGs].

  • Elimination of Contested Waypoints — the entire concept, completely, from the entire game.
  • Animals for home instance besides cats.
  • An unlimited-use upgrade extractor in the gem store
  • Build Templates
  • Additional Bank Tabs
  • Map Reveal item in the gem store — once your account has map completion, you can use this single-use item to reveal the entire known world and activate all waypoints. No gifts of exploration, and no poi’s, hp’s, vistas, or hearts completed (just locations revealed).
  • Additional types of woods, minerals, and plants.
  • Additional types of gathering: fishing, archaeology, etc. (along with unlimited-use collection tools available in the gem store)
  • New food/utility items/recipes to go with additional gathering stuff.
  • Leave all items in the gem store available for purchase at any time — why do any of them ever disappear, anyway? Wouldn’t there be a greater chance for “impulse buys” (and therefore increased revenue) if things were always available?

Hi, I have sent an application out, I haven’t heard from it since. I wonder if I can have an update, or an answer. Thank you!

We have not received an application from anyone with your account name, recently, and we have no applications that have not been answered. It would seem that the application didn’t get submitted successfully. Unfortunately, that means you’ll have to submit another one.

One of the great things about being in a guild is having folks to join you doing game content, whether it’s for some help, or just for fun. [JUGs] is a very sociable guild, and we take that a step further. It’s not unusual to find several people in TeamSpeak just chatting it up, and doing completely different things in the game. In fact, very often there are folks in TeamSpeak who aren’t even playing GW2 at the time — they’re just there to enjoy the company and be sociable.

Fill out an application and come join a great group of sociable, friendly people you can hang out with while you’re playing GW2 (and even when you’re not playing GW2).

Sound Updates

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

There’s no reason to make this a one-size-fits-all adjustment. How about giving an additional “Sound Effects” options tab that allows enabling/disabling the so called “potentially annoying” sound effects. Then everyone can either enjoy them as they are, or mute them and not be bothered. As more sound effects are identified as “potentially annoying” (or whatever you want to call it), they can be added to the list in patches. Even better than enable/disable would be a volume slider. But if it’s a configurable option per user, then the problem is solved once and for all, and works for everyone.

I like what I see. However, no PvP or WvW I take it?

We do have some folks that frequent PvP and WvW, but the vast majority of JUGs spend most of their game time doing PvE (including fractals, dungeons, and raids). Having said that, we do have forums dedicated to PvP and WvW discussions, and if anyone in JUGs wanted to schedule a PvP or WvW event on our calendar, they are welcome to do so.

Guild halls theme pack?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

I think this is an interesting idea, but I thought the guild hall decorations were intended to resemble the look of the maps the guild halls are located near — Verdant Brink and Auric Basin.

The thing I would like most is for some of the fog to be lifted in Gilded Hollow so we can more easily see so much of the fantastic work the artists and designers have done in there. Even at fully maxed settings on a 4k display, Gilded Hollow’s look is a disappointment, except for things that are very close. You have some fantastically talented artists, Anet — let us appreciate their hard work more. ….please?….

What Would You like in Gem Store Sale?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Archranis.2375

Archranis.2375

I would like to see a “World/Map Locations Reveal Contract”. This is a one-use item that would instantly remove the fog of war throughout all maps and reveal the locations of everything in all existing maps for a single character, as well as make all the known waypoints available. No Hero Points, Masteries, Hearts, or Vistas would be completed — but their locations would be revealed. No Gifts of Exploration would be awarded, although you’d get a bit of a head-start since the waypoints would be available. After playing the game for a number of years and not needing any more Gifts of Exploration, it’s just tedious to explore the maps so you have the waypoints (to do things like dailies, etc. with newly-created characters). And since you’ve already had to do it at least once to purchase this item, this item does not take away any of the “game experience”.
