Guild Wars 2

So this has been a bug since the launch last Friday, but I wanted to give it its own post so that hopefully ANET can definitely be aware of it.

Certain Ascended Rings simply are not showing up in the Mystic Forge to attune them. It seems to be a case of rings obtained from certain methods (pristines vs. reward chest vs. infused in forge, etc.), while the same named ring obtained some other way will work.
Here is a screenshot of both my my rings in my inventory, but not in the forge for proof: https://i.imgur.com/QvAXjet.jpg

Thanks, and hopefully this can get fixed soon so I can progress to the higher fractals!

Just going to give bullet points of feedback so it is easy and quick for a dev to (hopefully) read.

- Bouncing mushrooms should not cause fall damage from the bounce.

- Add a ‘reset’ button to adventures if you want to start over half way through rather than waiting for timer (maybe I missed this?).

- Don’t put away glider when running into something, usually I want to keep gliding unless landing on flat ground or pressing space.

- The bouncing mushroom in wyvern cliffs half way up the steep steps is pointless; make it take you to the top, not just like 4 steps further up.

- Show up or down markers on the map for events, I never know what level vertically the event is on.

- Tell us our high-score on adventures and medal when hovering over the icon on the map. Or even better, let us click it and open up the leaderboard.

- The “only-take-damage-from-(front/back/side)” mobs is not a very fun mechanic to me, but that is just my opinion.

- PLEASE make sure you cannot portal people to mastery points they haven’t ‘unlocked’ the ability to reach yet. Defeats the purpose..

I’ll add more as I come across them. Thanks.

I do wish you got a unique tonic or something like the SW puzzle.

I loved it too. I just hoped for some silly reward like the Skritt Burglar tonic from Silverwastes.

Hi ANET.

Is the final chest of that incredibly long, challenging (but fun) jumping puzzle in new LA supposed to be just a normal reward chest?

I was 100% expecting something unique like the tonic from the Silverwastes puzzle, but just got a rare and some junk.

It was a lot of fun, but that felt a little unrewarded otherwise.

Thanks!

It worked that time. Got the coin.

I’m glad to hear you got your coin! I’m terribly sorry you didn’t get it the first time around; we’ll keep looking into what might have caused that.

If I had to guess, the game just got confused with the chests since I’d done 2-3 Normal mode that “day”. I’ve noticed various cross-over glitchy moments like this, such as while doing normal mode 2-2, I saw some TM spikes and a cloud flag, despite them doing nothing since I was in Normal. Best of luck fixing.

Wrong. World 3 is red, world 4 is purple.

Now if we could combine all 4 colours to get a colour-shifting weapon skin from the SAB…that’d be….

Wow, that’s actually a good idea.

JOSH FOREMAN, GET IN HERE

That’s the idea I had too xD I HOPE that happens. I have the green and yellow greatsword so far!

Wrong. World 3 is red, world 4 is purple.

It worked that time. Got the coin.

It has reset, I completed it without the coin at about 6pm est (reset at 8pm est).

I’ll report back whether it works this time soon.

All right, re-running 2-3… let’s hope I get it this time. And grats, Thymin.

Arys.5193:

So… my friend and I just finished Tribulation Mode World 2 Zone 3 after a LOT of work, and the chest was empty. No “Storm Wizard Z-3” coin…

Can we PLEASE get a fix on this or something? I don’t know if tribulation chests are considered the same as normal mode chests so it didn’t reset, but I’m honestly going to be really disappointed if I don’t get the coin. That took so much work. :/

Please, Anet. Please, Josh.

Edit: This was our FIRST time ever doing W2Z3 TM.

How exactly did you finish W2 Z3 without upgrading your Candle? I can see on your skill bar it isn’t upgraded.

Maokai (Dingledots), my partner there, has it.

Vince Ste Marie.2081:

We’re looking into it, Arys. Thanks for the heads up.

Good to hear, I hope it gets fixed. Do you think there’s any chance of a reimbursement or is that not possible?

Any follow-up, Vince? I don’t know if I’ll get the coin if I do it again still, not that I want to do it again.

Lady Sara Goldheart.2764:

I think I had a similar issue as Arys quite recently.
I did every Hardmode today and finished the one for World 2 Zone 3 around 40 minutes ago. Every other chest had an reward and a token for a skin.
As for the Storm Wizard, I found only an open chest.

Is there a maximum for rewards from chests for Hardmode ? (@Vince)

This is exactly what happened to us. All other chests gave the token, however this one was open and empty. I kind of hope they’ll replace our coins, I’m not desperate to do that again.. :/ Especially if it STILL doesn’t give one!

No, this was the first time doing 2-3 Hard Mode ever.

Well he said it may seem like bad game design. That means he’s one step closer to admitting that it is bad game design. We are getting somewhere…..

I’d never claim to be an amazing designer. Only that I do think carefully about the design choices I make. Any time an artist chooses to do something that will be less popular than an alternate choice they know that they will be called a bad artist by many. Goes with the territory. It’s like (and I’m not comparing myself here) film makers such as David Lynch and Kubrick who makes movies/shows with purposefully ambiguous symbology and unsatisfying endings, or musicians like Bjork who will randomly release a virtually acapella album. These decisions limit the audience and make a lot of people who do stumble across their media angry, disappointed, annoyed, etc. And then say “That was bad.” Again, I’m not saying that my work is anywhere in the same league as Bjork or Kubrick. Only that there is a common phenomenon where people who don’t like a particular style, or find something that doesn’t fit in the popular established mold tend to assume that it is therefore ‘bad’.

Hey, maybe my work IS bad. I’m just trying to make stuff that I personally love to play. and it seems like there are others like me. At least enough to keep my quirky little project going!

Ant.3415:

I’m looking forward to this but I think having a grind for continue coins is a mistake, and as others have said I hope we don’t have to go through that intro dialogue each time.

I remember back in the day grinding for gold in Final Fantasy 1 and Dragon Warrior 1 to be able to buy enough potions to beat the bosses and dungeons. That’s essentially what you’ll be doing. The time invested in doing so ratchets up the tension.

As for the intro cinematic, it’s only an issue in 1-1, but we did make a special TM short version.

Rezz.8019:

So Josh is this kind of Limbo style? Where you just have to keep dying in order to get to the finish. If it is then I like it already!

Funny. I was literally just watching my son play Limbo. But yeah, like Limbo on steroids. And where the spiders dance.

Josh, THANK YOU for making something like this. I have literally never been so excited about an update for any game, ever. My friend and I are jumping puzzle/platformer fanatics and are dying for Tuesday to no life Tribulation Mode. You create my favourite content by far, keep doing what you’re doing! Looking forward to my yellow skins.

I did have one question though that I hadn’t seen answered, you stated that to create a TM skin, we’ll collect an item from each zone in a world. Will we be able to do this repeatedly to create a second skin from the same world? I really hope so. Thanks a ton!

I would like this too. :P

Shield stance or endure pain while they spam they’re heartseeker and leave them resource-less with no damage done.

I run a banner regeneration and interrupt/tank warrior build. I love it and my group loves it.

TWO Battle Standard bugs:
1) If you dodge or are interrupted in anyway right as banner is about to appear, it’ll cast and show an animation, but there will be no banner and it will go on cooldown.
2) Sometimes it won’t quite revive someone, but leave them down with almost a full res bar. Annoying.

I do all 3 paths once a day to get the bonus and because I like to have, wait for it, FUN as well as getting tokens. I am 60 tokens off having my full armour set and my shield. Forward/Up only takes a few more minutes than Up if you play well, and Forward/Forward is a nice change and challenge once a day. Find a group of friends to do it with and do all the paths! It’s a ton more fun!

fellyn.5083:

No it doesn’t. You still have your armor. I’ve put in the time and got my set from CoF and a few weapons but this change makes me happy. I know it will be easier to get gear for different characters in the future should I choose to make them.

If/when they start giving out more tokens that doesn’t mean your gear will all of a sudden disappear. Your complaint is nonsense.

Of course my armour will still be there, but it won’t have the value it had before because it will now be easier to get. I’d say that’s a valid annoyance.

fellyn.5083:

Malediktus.9250:

Giving more tokens or reducing the price is unfair to those people who already played dozens of dungeons and maybe even bought gear for those tokens.

Seriously? You’re gonna complain about them lowering prices either by giving out more tokens or reducing costs?

I’ll complain because dungeon armours are supposed to be prestigious and some of us worked to get our sets only for them now to make it easier, which sort of takes away some of our work. :/

Confirmed for Dzag (DE) GOGOGO!
