Guild Wars 2

Well I can at least log in now and play my character in PvE but I can’t queue for another SPvP match because it says my game is still in progress.

New build didn’t fix it either

Someone from other team said restarting computer and logging back in on a character not in Hotm worked, but it didn’t work for me.

So guesting to a new world doesn’t work and i’m gonna assume transferring wouldn’t either.

I made a separate post for this but i’ll post here too. My team and enemy team in SPVP are all stuck in map. Swapping chars just takes them all into it and exiting game doesn’t work either. Sitting idle too long does not work as well.

HELP!

My team and enemy team are all permanently stuck in an SPVP match!

Logging out doesn’t work, changing characters doesn’t work and closing the game doesn’t work. Leaving the match just takes us right back into the game…

HELP! We can’t even play alt characters during this bug!!!

Same issue here, caused me to die.

Cantha was the best part of GW1, with Elona being the second. If they do not bring it back, it will be a crime!

We are a very small team. The more skins we made, the less stuff we could make in the Box. So we settled for a minimal set, with plans to add to it with each new World we release. I love Engies and I wish we could have served them and Thieves better this time around, but had to make some tough choices.

I’d settle for this answer if it was the first time these weapons were excluded, however it’s happened before.

It would be really dumb for them to remove a whole game culture because of some real world people being “offended.” To me that is not even pride, it’s selfishness. Why compare yourself to a fantasy world that is trying to include multiple people in a non stereotypical way? If they do not add Cantha, the day they announce it as never happening, that’s the day I quit. Factions was my favorite part of GW1 and if it were to go, the game would never be worth playing.

Other than the TP preview (Which should have been up long ago) everything else was garbage.

They didn’t even bother fixing the traits that DO NOTHING. Pfft.

Anet, it would be nice to have a (more recent) statement on this subject.

ele attune change is huge, though i’d imagine it’s smaller on lower graphic settings. kits don’t even make the sound effect.

All the more reason the argument for kits needing to be there for pvp doesn’t work.

I will never accept having this ugly kit forced upon me, and if I have to keep annoying anet about it, so be it.

agreed.

I also don’t like the idea that eng tosses out a giant neon sign to their foes that they are changing abilities.

Well to be fair, eles have way bigger neon signs when changing attunements.

It’s really not that big, not to mention that Ele’s whole concept is about changing attunements. Basically, it’s pretty much expected that Ele’s are going to change.

I’d much rather have the ability to hide it over dying the packs. But I’d be up for both if there are some people that actually like the packs. However I will never be satisfied with this giant ugly backpack on my character.

It is most definitely a massive cop-out.

Elementalists only show their attunement in barely-visible “bracelets” on their wrists, and in the buff bar, and that’s it.

Hmm…how about having the option to remove the backpack visual, but adding a spot in our buff bar (equal to ele’s attunement symbol?) We only have 6 kits including med kit—how hard could it be to add 6 new symbols that would appear on our buff bar when we equip that kit?

I feel it’s unlikely that devs are going to create a ton of new visual content that can only be accessed by one of the eight professions, and the (probably) least-represented one at that.

That sounds like a good idea, and it is no different from what elementalists currently use. This would remove the need for the backpacks entirely, while still showing which kit they are using. I mean, if you’re stopping in the middle of a team battle to check which pack some Engineer is using, you’re costing valuable time or teamplay; not to mention, in that timeframe you will probably see which pack it is before that, by them simply attacking.

Currently as it is, there is no reason to even get a nice back item, because it’s not like we can show them off. That stinks because this is a game all about visual appearances, and Engineer is the only class that is limited on that.

ANet actually replied on this one months ago. I can’t find its link but I’m pretty sure they said it’d be impossible because it will be unfair to enemy players in sPvP or WvW if they don’t see what kind of kit we are using. Seeing what kits engineers are using can help them make strategies and right decisions when fighting against us.

In a sense, they have a point but if you think of it in a more general way, most people don’t even care about our kits. They’re like “Oh, an engineer! FOOOOOOOOD!”

But yes, I’d like to have the option of hiding our backpacks too if possible.

If that’s true, I think that is a cop out answer. It’s no different than any other class changing weapons or something. Engineer kits also change the weapon the character is holding. Having the backpack thing gone would not be anything different from any other profession.

I also have this issue. It’s annoying having to go into task manager every time I want to play.

Not a bug, that was where the old LA lighthouse was before the November event. They added a new bridge and never changed the map for it.

“Super Hyperbeam Alpha” rifle animation bug

As seen in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnVmhdWr4es

That rifle is supposed to have a flashing/blinking type animation, however when you equip it and whether it’s wielded or not, the animation is frozen.

Actually I like that, minus the Anet symbol.

The only changed I’ve personally seen was the predator. Now it leaves a red trail and makes the character have a fire aura around them, as well as shooting red ‘bullets’. Personally I think this change is horrible, the purple version was much nicer than this stupid fire crap they changed it to. The sci fi sound matched the purple more so than this dumb fire weapon. I’m extremely disappointed. If anything they should have made it similar to the juggernaut and had the color work around your characters colors.

The Dreamer shoots rainbow unicorns with an ANet cutie mark now.

Still think your Predator change was horrible?

Yes, still do. I might also think that one sucks if I get a chance to see it.

…So we have to wait a(-nother for some) week…?

I was wonder if you could give us the option to hide the backpack that shows when using kits and such. I dislike having this giant backpack cover my character, clipping into her hair as well as covering her armor and back item that I’d like to show off. Engineers utilize kits often, which makes it hard to enjoy my character when I am displeased about the look. Considering that the game is supposed to have a specific esthetic in terms of appearance, I’d think this would be something you would be willing to do.

Thanks

Sure feels that way judging by the score.

Anyone have the current score? I am curious.
