Guild Wars 2

Danikat.8537:

Although it is annoying if you just want to free up the slot. But then you’ve probably got (or know how to get) 80+ Tomes of Knowledge so you could just use the boost on an existing character and if you ever want another one use Tomes to level them.

Getting a character to lv. 80 is easy enough for us veteran players as I have more tomes of knowledge and lv. 40 boosts than I know what to do with. So as long as the lv. 80 boost works on a character that is already lv. 80, then I’ll be fine with that as I don’t actually “need” it.

Hello,

When I bought HoT last summer, I found that I couldn’t move the lv. 80 boost from the shared bag slot to a regular slot within one of my bags to free up the space. I was required to use the boost before I could use the shared slot. Will this problem persist in PoF? Or has this been changed since then?

Granted some people have more than one shared slot, but one is enough for me for my salvage-o-matic. If there was another profession being added with PoF, then I wouldn’t be here with my concern (bit disappointed there isn’t a new profession though). I just don’t want the slot being taken up with an item I don’t have a use for until when/if there is a new profession added.

If there is already a thread covering this, then I ask a moderator to please go ahead and merge the two. I didn’t see anything covering the following topic in the first ten pages or so, including a search.

Currently there is unbound magic based jewelry that can be obtained through Blood rubies, Jade shards, Petrified wood, Winterberries and Fire orchids. The only problem however is that only the blood ruby based jewelry can be reset through the use of a ‘Bloodstone Capacitor’ consumable that costs 100 unbound magic. I am asking for either of the following to address this:

*Add [Jade Shard, Winterberry, etc] capacitors to the other vendors so that we can reset our ascended jewelry stat combo with the same unbound magic cost in mind.

OR

*This being the more preferred method: Create a generic unbound magic capacitor that will work on any of the new ascended jewelry introduced in LW season 3 and can be bought from any of the vendors that also sell the ascended items (Slooshoo, Scholar Rakka, etc).

Thanks for reading.

ANet, please consider showing your appreciation to the players who have been here in Guild Wars 2 since the beginning with an adversary from the beginning, a:

Other players who are not at four years yet will just have to show their loyalty and just wait.

Hopefully this is the right place for the following suggestion, otherwise a moderator can feel free to move it.

I recently bought the Noble Count Outfit from the gem store, and I would like to say to those involved in creating it, great job. I love the looks of it down to every detail, and it is in fact the only gem store outfit I own.

It looks great on my female characters once I’ve dyed the outfit to my liking, however there is one thing that bugs me and ask to be adjusted or modified. As seen in the attached image, as the character moves the dress is kicked up, but there is a huge black void under the dress that I find a bit distracting.

Currently from what I can tell, the void starts at about the character’s ankles. If this could be adjusted so that it starts at say the knee or somewhere along the thigh, I think it would significantly reduce the amount of black showing and help focus the quality and attention to detail that went into the outfit.

I realize that this may be a lower priority compared to other projects, but I just wanted to get the message and plea out there. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Digiowl. Weapon swapping didn’t seem to work which is why I couldn’t see it. When I clicked on the weapon, the arrow then moved down to the longbow and the longbow skins.

Hey guys,

I had the Wings of Dwayna bow skin unlocked before the Apr 15th patch (from a chest or something). When I go to the bank to look at the wardrobe, I see it unlocked as well as the other PvP skins that I had unlocked, but when I try to use the skin through the Hero panel, the Wings of Dwayna bow skin along with the other items that were unlocked in PvP do not show up. Am I missing something?

I thought skins from PvP could now be used in PvE, or did I read something wrong? I’m excited to use the longbow skin since it was too expensive/grind for me through the PvE method, but now it doesn’t show up when it comes time to transmute.

Thanks in advance.

More environmental weapons throughout the game (explorable area PvE and WvW). I don’t mean more sticks. I mean things like gunk, plasma, rusty [object], icicle shard etc.

Many of the environmental weapons seem too few in number or very localized such as broken bottles near Skritt caves, yet vast sections of the explorable area(s) are empty.

Another thing on my mind is upgrade slots on weapons. Why is it that two-handed weapons only have one slot for a sigil? Players shouldn’t have to wield two one-handed weapons to be able to receive the benefit of two sigils at once (assuming sigils not of the same type). Please add a second upgrade slot to two-handed weapons. Thanks.

The search tool doesn’t seem to be working for me, so I’ll make a new thread. And if something like this already exists, then it can be combined.

What are your idea’s for a back item skin?

Here are three of mine:

1) Angelic wings that are not just large enough to be somewhat realistic, but white and maybe some gold in color. Something similar to the angelic wing animation from the Paragon skills in Guild Wars 1…but more white in color.

2) An all-metal shield that would look great on warriors/guardians that are normally covered in metal armor from head to toe already.

3) Some sort of contraption of moving parts and gears that just shouts out: engineer.

I haven’t had a lot of time to play Guild Wars 2 as much as I would like to in several months by now. With that, I have a black lion claim ticket but the weapon I am interested in no longer goes for one claim ticket since I was unable to use it at the right time and now it costs five.

Could we please on the occasion have a “sale” of the weapons offered by this merchant near the Lion’s Arch Trading Post. Where like the unlimited tools or other items, the weapons are one claim ticket for a limited time (or whatever their price was when they were first introduced).

Nice, I once in a while see someone who made Eir, same looks and full name.

Yeah, that’s a shame. But you did do a pretty good job though, so much so that I think I’ll use what you attached. You got a lot closer on the eyes than I did. Thanks for the help and your time Esplen.

Hopefully these from yesterday will work. I’ve noticed Parker Cole disappears from the area for a little while here and there.

The skin tone and eye color is slightly different between the two, but pretty sure the face is the same, and thanks!

If you do find that you can make the face, don’t forget screenshots at each step so it can be duplicated

Hello ladies and gents,

There is a female NPC face that can be seen in a number of areas. She is a servant in the Ossan Quarter in Divinity’s Reach and inside the Almuten mansion in Gendarran Fields (near Lake Bounty). I also noticed that a few NPC’s in the new Bazaar of the Four Winds explorable area have the same face, one such NPC is named “Parker Cole” (near the wind adept).

I’ve tried several times to make her face during character creation, but have never had much luck in getting it to look just like the one I see here and there in the game. The closest I’ve managed was what could pass as a cousin or maybe even a sister of the NPC.

Has anyone had success with making this NPC’s face? Or does the face require a combo of facial features that we as the players only can choose one of. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m sure that each of the following suggestions has its own thread, but I’m putting what I would like to say here not only because by putting the comments in the right thread may cause them to not even be read in the first place, but also these are suggestions more than anything else.

1) Please make the unlimited harvesting tools account bound. I’m fine with them being available temporarily and their high price (800 gems, ~25 gold), but Soul bound for such an expensive limited time offer item is taking it too far.

2) Rabid stat armor needs to be able to be crafted. This should have been available even before the celestial stat, of which can now be crafted with the new Bazaar of the Four Winds update.

3) The elementalist air skills for the staff could really use some beefing up. The tooltip states higher damage, but skills themselves are pretty terrible when it comes to damage. The pushback doesn’t even do damage, and static field is laughable except for the brief stun. The only time I use it is when I know a combo can be made with someone else who is shooting projectiles.

4) I keeping hearing about ascended weapons and armor, so here is a suggestion or two. After all this time of people going through dungeons to get the looks and/or stats that they want, the last thing they would want to do is to grind them all over again to obtain their ascended gear.

So perhaps these items can be obtained similar to how ascended jewelry is currently obtained such as by laurels and guild commendations. This will still allow for the longer time-span to obtain these items which it seems like what Anet wants when it comes to grabbing our ascended gear, but without the grind. Both armor and weapons do not have to use laurels and/or commendations, perhaps a new form of currency could be made for say just ascended armor.

Another thing I thought about that uses parts of the game that already exist is that when we obtain an ascended armor piece or weapon, it will work similar to the super backpack cover. But instead of keeping the stats and changing the look, the stats are upgraded to ascended quality and the looks remain the same so that we can still keep the looks of our weapons and armor that we already picked out and obtained a long time ago.

As for runes and sigils, I’m not sure on that. It seems like infusion slots will replace upgrade slots, that is unless ascended weapons and armor retain upgrade slots rather than having infusion slots like ascended jewelry currently does now.

I’d be more than happy to read comments that further expand these ideas or critique them.

Connecting to NA server IoJ from U.S.A.

I’ve been getting the error code 58:11:5:512:101 quite a bit in the last few days, and at the moment the game will not even start up. Last time I played was last night (~8hrs ago).

I’ve done the jumping puzzle before the release of the Secrets of Southsun. It was interesting and I didn’t have much trouble doing it, but I seemed to have a lot of trouble when I did it when the new content was released. Thankfully a kind mesmer offered a port up to the last collection and I was then able to move onto the other things to do to get the 25 achievements.

One other thing is that some people just plain cannot do jump puzzles…period. Some admit it, others do not. Also, I brought my own mesmer over to help port since the guy I play with a lot in-game has deteriorating eyesight and cannot always finish a jump puzzle, even with someone there to guide him.

I’ve spent most of my time leveling characters or running amok with the rest of the zerg in WvW only going to Orr here and there, so I don’t know how much has changed since the patches that affected Orr-though the foes do seem to be a bit harder than they should be for general PvE, and from what I remember.

Although I usually do dungeons to grab the exotics that I need when I level a character up to 80, I do try to at least get one or two pieces from the exotic karma merchants that are at the temples to cut down on the number of dungeon paths that I need to do and to use the karma that I already have built up.

But it seems that the temples over the last few weeks are pretty much never open. I have left my ranger in front of the Arah dungeon for over a week now checking multiple times a day to see if the karma merchant there is up as well as what other temples may be open by looking at the status of the statues in Promenade of the Gods/The Narthex.

I’ve seen Dwayna and Melandru open here and there along with Balthazar on the occasion, but they do not stay open for long, thus making it impossible to grab the exotic karma items that I want from the other temples. Guesting to another server just to get the armor I want should not be a solution to the problem as that only covers up the problem rather than fixing it at its roots.

Based on trying to do the various events that lead to opening the temples solo and with two or three other people as well as the number of threads here on the forums about the problems of the temple events, it would seem that trying to open up a temple, with the exception of the easier ones, is simply not done anymore. And from what I can tell, unless you plan to get a cultural weapon, the problem makes karma near useless at the same time. (Already working on my third stack of obby shards, so don’t need them).

As new content is released, people flock to it (fractals, Frost and Flame, Secrets of SouthSun, etc) making the original content desolate of people. I think that ANet is going in the wrong direction with some of the older content. Do not make it more difficult and then release new things in the game to do which draws the attention of most players thus leaving the few still in the older content alone or too few in number to do the more difficult stuff.

The older content should in fact be adjusted to be a little easier since most players have moved on to other things within the game as the only thing that remains in Orr with the exception of a few stragglers, is the footprints in the dirt from the player horde that once came through.

One other reason to tone it down a bit is that the game will always still have new players joining, and if Orr is too much of pain, they simply will avoid it altogether. I myself didn’t start playing Guild Wars 1 until December 2010. If the content throughout was as difficult as what we came across in EotN, I simply would have stopped playing within the week. But because I played the easier than EotN content that I faced late in the Factions and Prophecies campaigns first, I was ready for the most part when I started the EotN.

This has happened to me quite a lot as well, although it mostly occurs with Teq, I have had it happen for Jormag, Fire ele, The Frozen Maw and the Shatterer. I have eight lv 80 characters (leveling people keeps me going in this game), and so I usually leave them spread around Tyria and load them up when a world event starts. Though before I continue on, I first want to state that I am absolutely positive that I am hitting the boss of the event (Teq, fire ele etc), and normally I am there for the entire event-I do not start attacking in the last ten seconds that the boss is alive, now with that…

When I do not receive credit, although a bit annoyed, I switch locations with another character and try the event again within the same server-day, but this only works 50% of the time in terms of receiving the chest and credit with that other character.

Can ANet please confirm if whether or not leaving a character in a certain place to do the local event eventually bugs it out after a few days to where we no longer receive credit for that event.

An example would be if I leave my mesmer in the area of Lowland Burns waypoint to participate in the Shatterer event once a day, and leave her there and only load her up when the Shatterer will be up soon and do this for several days, does doing so eventually lead to something in the game that prevents me from getting the rewards on say the 3rd day, or the 4th day of doing the event?

If this is not a bug, but is something intentional, please at least let us know what the limit is that we can do event “X” with the same character sequentially.

Here is another thread of the same problem:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/events/No-Credit-for-Dragon-Events

After being on the game for a few hrs in WvW, I decided to go to the heart of the mists to check out some stuff at the PvP locker. While there, I pulled up the guild pane to see who was still on and I saw that rather than my account name showing up in gray after my character name, my email address was there instead (in the place of the acct name). This kind of freaked me out a bit as I don’t give it out often and I don’t want even my guild mates (save a few) to know my personal email address. I logged out and restarted the client and it went back to normal, but that is a bug I do not want to see again. Please look into this, as personal information is being displayed.

Thank you,

It’s been a week, what is going on? Not even a single quick fix update so far to temporarily change things until phase 2.

Ten pages of this thread later and still no comment from the staff, not even a: “We have read the posts in this thread so far and acknowledge your frustration that many of you have expressed and we are looking into ways that will balance dungeons that will make them an enjoyable experience for everyone. And we are planning on implementing these changes soon, either during or before phase 2”.

Which by the way makes me wonder when phase 2 is supposed to come out. I hope that it comes out very soon (no, NOT in several weeks, that is not very soon, more like early to mid next week or something).

I want to do dungeons often again with numerous characters, but I’m not going in there when a single mistake can cause the run to be demoralizing to want to continue or incite anxiety in the fact that one may simply be kicked out if they make another mistake or if they are just having a case of bad luck.

I’ve done most dungeons, the main exception is Arah and I only started to get my toes wet with CoE before the 1/28 update. But I know I can’t just go in there now with the characters I used to use in dungeons (guard, war, nec, sometimes my ele), not with the current status of the dungeons.

I’m not asking you guys to change everything back, I’m just asking that a quick fix patch/update be implemented very soon so that we can all start doing dungeons again on a regular basis, or pump out Phase 2 a lot faster and give your customers a time table of when your product will be delivered.

At least just do something, do not leave us in the dark during these trying times.

This was a fun thread to read.

I agree with most of the posts that I have seen here so far, and refuse to set foot in any dungeon again until this serious problem has been resolved. I have always done very well with my guardian in dungeons, but I want to be able to play with more than just a heavy class in dungeons again.

Anet, please stop killing your game. Many people have already left the game as it is and now, and I can’t believe that I am saying this after such a short time since release, but I along with a number of my friends are looking into other games to leave to. And based on the past 20+ years of gaming if I leave a game, not “take a break from”, but “leave”, I have never come back to those few games that I have left in all those years. This game is quickly becoming a candidate to become a member of that short list.

This mission is still terrible (at 3 Jan 2013) as they still die WAY too easily. Although I am doing it on my warrior atm, I was only downed once or twice throughout the mission when I did it with my glass staff ele, and yet had to res the entire group of cannon fodder NPC’s at least a half dozen times. And I tried to keep them alive the best I could too. If ANet ever does decide to implement a hero system in the future, I hope to God that their stats are not based on these NPC’s.

Please add a bank NPC to Fort Trinity and allow dyes being sold on the Trading Post be able to be previewed. Thank you.
