Guild Wars 2

I’ve searched for this but can’t come up with anything. When I’m running around in WvW, you see those thin blue lines in a huge circle on the ground, what are they?

Hermes.7014:

3000 AP for gloves, 6000 for shoulder pads and 9000 for helmets. .

How do you know it’s 6k and 9k, or have you just made that up. Not a lot of people have 9k AP.

Ryuujin.8236:

Of course many players in mainland Europe including me have had significant ping rates for weeks and they havn’t been addressed either.

Alas this was one of those phantom problems in Guild Wars 1, that never got actually acknowledged. Just have to live with it I suppose.

I haven’t seen any dev posts on this, it’s such a fun minigame, crippled by intermittent latency on skills, most notably the lightning jump.

Is it that the servers are overloaded, or that we’re being put on servers too far away from us? I’m in England on an EU server, it feels like I’m playing on a server the other side of the planet.

In regards to the Frequent Sprinter and Crowd Favourite, when a race is near the end and you start as a “practice round”, if you finish you still “complete” a race, so that’s what happened there I expect.

In regards to the lightning leap, I think it’s an issue with them putting you on a server too far away from you, as happens occaisionally in pvp. It’s annoying as hell, the latency is awful and probably won’t be addressed.

Same issue here, I visited approximately 40 in Ascalon territory, no pirates at all.

Might there be a mystic forge recipe with the fused scrap pieces that no one has discovered yet? The pieces seem quite rare so I was assuming there would be a way to make the new weapons.

Thanks for the tips. I’m a bit baffled that Anet can’t just see the coords of these bots zipping around everywhere.

Hello there! I´m from Sweden and im playing on Gunnars Hold server and i´m experiencing strange latency issues late at night. During the day the game works like clockwork as allways but when i log on at aroun 9 PM the latency starts to make the game unplayable.

I have never seen this behaviour before but it is starting to drive me crazy since often times i can only play in the evening or night.

Any suggestions would be most welcome

I’m also on Gunnars and have noticed this at around 9-11pm on Saturday and Sunday nights. It’s sporadic for me though, not constant. Worth running a ping -t www.google.com in command prompt while the latency is occuring.

So does anyone know if there’s another way to report a player other than clicking on him? i.e. can i type something like “/report name” ?

I’ve noticed a lot of bots that appear on a mining / gathering node, use it and then disappear. A lot of the time they are so quick that I can’t report them as I lose focus on them as soon as they disappear.

I searched but couldn’t find any official word on this, is there anything else I should be doing?

You have to research them in the guild panel. I don’t know what the first available one is, apparently it’s Guild Bounty but not sure what level you need in Art of War.

Magnetron.5823:

The sytem requirements dont say i need a friend in WvW all the time

Really hope that’s a joke comment.

There’s different dailys, they rotate each day. Try to relax.

If I put a rune on my rebreather, is that always active or does it take over from my helm rune when I’m underwater?

Not at all, true FFA means your best buddy can kill you, the only thing keeping you alive is your whits and respect for one another

This is not going to happen in GW2, you’re better off searching for a different game.

Only you can be the judge of if you wasted your money. It appears you enjoy the game as you came to the forums to write a lengthy post about it, so I would say no you probably didn’t waste your money.

There is supposed to be a block function when you right click a name, but at the moment it’s broken for me. It just says “Report” at the moment.

Edit: For the mean time you can enter special character using the ALT key and entering a number, for example ALT 137 does ë .

I’ve gotten almost 50 ectos in three days just running dungeons. Supply has actually gone UP, but there are also more things to use them on.

The problem with that is those ectos aren’t reaching the market. Flood the market with supply and you start to level the supply/demand equation.

I personally use BL salvage kits and lately I’ve been VERY lucky to pull one ecto off a 70+ rare in the last 12-15 salvages. So either my luck is really crap or the drop rate is diminishing.

Seems your being extraordinarily unlucky. I get 1 to 3 ectos from an average of 1 in 1.5 of every 74+ rare. I have over 300 ectos now just from the rare drops. This has always been the case since I have been salvaging, definitely doesn’t seem to be a nerf to the drop rate.

Server: Gunnar’s Hold
Dungeon: Arah gate

The event has been bugged for days now, waypoint remains contested.

I say it again, the whole problem IS people changing servers.

The server matchups do not work if whole guilds transfer server for any reason.

Why not join a struggling server? Why not just stop switching servers.

The whole problem at the moment is the mass server transfers, the WvW matchings get done on population and performance, so the matchings are essentially good until all the guilds switch servers on the Saturday, which messes the whole system up.

Until the servers are locked down, imbalance will be a constant issue that we just have to live with for now.

Maybe the game is beyond fixing as it seems to annoy everyone so much.

Does the crossed sword icon on the map report battles just involving your servers players, or does it report all battles?

Or maybe a better question is what exactly does the crossed swords icon report?

Don’t know yet, best just spend the next few hours crossing your fingers or praying to one of any gods that the whole thing isn’t bugged.

Personally I don’t like the way the veteran Karka “regen” their health after the armor is down.
Simple having 2 bars, one for armor, one for health, would be a whole heap more fun than taking it down to zero then starting over again.

OK finally I’m a bit miffed. Not annoyed, just miffed.

Gunnars Hold overflow

There’s a large karka appearing near where they were yesterday, we have to coat our weapons in poison or use the poison sprayer. That’s working fine but it seems that at about 75% health the karka resets.

Is this because not enough people are using poison or because the event is bugged?

I was not able to play the map you speak of, but I saw some footage of it, it misses the laning style and other features from classic MOBAs. It looks chaotic.

It wasn’t super refined, but in essence it was exactly like a moba style game. Your 3 bases spawned skeletons which moved up the lanes, which you had to move up and destroy the bases at the end of the enemy lanes. There was some brilliant gameplay with the reeds / grass at the sides, which put you in stealth so you could do some brilliant ambushes.

I played Reapers Rumble for ages over the past few days, despite the fact that there weren’t any real rewards for it. It’s a great game mode and one I hope they refine and bring back sometime soon.

At the beginning of last month, the bottom achievement in the monthly was also a “???” until the Halloween event started.

The “???” sections will change in the next couple of weeks to represent achievements in the new content.

It was stated at some point prior to release that they want everything to go through the trading post, thus making at least a half decent international economy.

franks

this would not have happned if there was a player to player tardeing o system

It also wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t sent him any gold.

I don’t reveal my sources

Anyone with a brain round here knows not to believe anything that hasn’t been posted by an Anet official. You’re just making up stuff.

Any chance of another update on the status of this? Would be useful to know if this is actually going to be fixed or not.

Sorry I meant there is / will be a bar brawl pvp game in Divs reach. As you can see on the acheivements, the only pvp minigame active in the normal game at the moment is Barrel Brawl.

Kopipoki.3542:

Oh, I thought it might have been something new they added with the Halloween content patch. What other mini-games are partially in the game but not implemented yet? Is there one for each starting city or something?

There’s a bar brawl in Divs reach, I know that, and also the shooting gallery, but other wise I have no idea. In case you didn’t know there is a barrel brawl game in Hoelbrak to the north west.

There are a lot of mini games that they didn’t include at launch but will be added soonish. There’s a big update on the 15th of November which hopefully will bring some extra niceness.

Kopipoki.3542:

Found this in Rata Sum today. I might be wrong but I don’t think it was there before. New mini-game going to be added?

That portal and area has been there since launch / beta events. There are a fair few mini games that aren’t actually open yet, hopefully will be sometime soon though.

Some update on this would be greatly appreciated, as I assume the Halloween event isn’t going to be extended in any way as per this post

Martin Kerstein

We heard your questions about extending the Halloween event for those of you affected by Sandy. Unfortunately we cannot do that, but the reason why we can’t is exciting: We are preparing for our big November update, which will start on November 15, and there will be content that will be in the game prior to that, leading up to the event.

Velocity.4950:

im officially disappointed with the forums. 260 views and cant answer a “yes” or “no” question.

“When is attend the party?”

Yes.

Well played, brilliant!

Gunnars Hold again:

Gendarran fields: The 3 points were being contested / won back etc, but the chain never completes

Queensdale: The prior quest is / was stuck on 1 door investigated

Kessex: Just nothing happening at all as far as I can tell.

tl:dr We cannot get to the mad realm

Glad you nipped the in the bud to prevent a 20 page timezone flame thread.

To elaborate on that, we’re on BST (British Summer Time) at the moment, and later tonight will change back to GMT.

Would you be able to quote the PM you got, just for clarification?

1680×1050 (16:10) 22" Monitor and the picture looks slightly squashed left/right. Assuming the FOV is currently set to 16:9 ?

Camera position remains a little frustrating also.

Just wondering if I should save them up and use them all at once with boosters, has there been any official posts on if they are a) only here for halloween and b) if they’ll be getting “nerfed”.

Cheers!

lvl 68 here, got a lvl 80 exotic focus this evening.

Strill.2591:

Magic find in Dungeons is the prisoner’s dilemma. If you cooperate and use non-MF stats, you clear the dungeon faster. If one person betrays the other and uses MF while the others don’t, he gets extra loot plus fast clear times. If both players betray one another and use MF, they all get long clear times.

Isn’t that Jasper Carrots’ Goldenballs?

LoreChief.8391:

As someone currently patching, I need to know; I’m at 50 MBs downloaded and I still haven’t hit 1%. Is that because it’s not showing up properly, or because this update IS FRIGGIN HUGE?

As you can probably see by now, and so as not to worry others, the % starts going up a lot faster after 1%.

Edit: 20% @ 266MB

And so the rage begins…

You’ll have to wait till Monday to find out, although it is confirmed there will be halloween weapon skins in random black lion chests, so if you can shell out 10 gold for a key you might be in with a chance.
