A Chain-Whip Sword with no 'whip animation'?

I’d love to see a more fluid sword too.

Note that whip animations can be found in Lightning Whip as well as the environmental weapon Herding Crop.

Enrichment says Utility Infusion slot

The 26 July 2016 patch notes said: All ascended amulets now have a single enrichment slot.

The issue is that looking through the various enrichments (Gilded Enrichment, Magical Enrichment, Experienced Enrichment, Karmic Enrichment), their description is: Double-click to apply to an unused utility infusion slot.

This may lead to confusion for someone who hasn’t read the patch notes, or isn’t willing to experiment (both the amulets and enrichments cost time+currencies, after all).

For consistencies sake, I’m reporting this anomaly.

No, I think we’re not taking this as personally as you are though. It’s a fact, it’s going to happen this weekend, once only, you can only make the best of it.

Isn’t it going to be for all guild missions from here onwards? It’s not like raids are going to disappear, right?

Oh shoot, bought the package on the 22nd and missed out on trying for the 125 refund.

Arcane minor trait in wrong slot

The Arcane specialization has “Elemental Attunement” and “Elemental Enchantment” swapped around. “Elemental Attunement” is a tier 3 minor trait, and “Elemental Enchantment” is a tier 2 minor trait. For a while I thought the trait list (on the left-hand side) was incorrect, but now that the trait API (beta) is available, I see that it’s the specialization interface (on the right-hand side) that has the error.

Edit: Just realised that the Training panel puts “Elemental Enchantment” after “Elemental Attunement”. So now I’m not sure what to believe.

Map related bug: The Grove has 5 (instead of 19) points of interest and Rata Sum has 8 points of interest (instead of 19). These are on the Surface layer.

  • For map completion purposes, these specific ones count to the quota. Grabbing the other points as substitute will not count (like landmarks in the Maguuma Wastes or the Mists).
  • For world completion purposes, all 652 points of interest are required.

NPC, Mobs and Players Disappear

Forgot to add: Character select also seems to work in re-synching with the server.
(if you don’t mind potentially ending up in a different IP or if the waypoint fees outweigh the earns. Due to my small frequency of encountering this bug, I cannot guarantee that character selection won’t place you somewhere else.)

I encountered this bug in Frostgorge Sound. My character was exploring the east side. When mobs and my weapon skills disappeared, I managed to discovered Bore Lynch.

I checked with my party member where I appeared on the map, and put a marker in south west Frostgorge Sounds above Lost Child’s Sorrow Waypoint. I think I was placed in an inaccessible location without mobs and likely treading water.

Taking any waypoint temporarily fixes this for me.

Liadri Slayer Club

Joining the Liadri Club!
Warrior, GS+Rifle, 0/20/15/20/15 (Following this video pretty closely, my build plus Sclerite Karka Shell)

Before beating her, I had 2 close battles in the many attempts, but I lacked the damage. I think I put in about 50+ attempts on her.

P1 was learning the pattern of AoE+light (and lucky Rift spawns), and rushing P2.
P2 was running in circles and crippling the boss, while dodging and running closer to the centre when I had to. I popped stability for potentially deadly Cosmic Rifts.

Overall, I think the boss was pretty challenging (but much easier compared to my attempts of Candidate Trials). Definitely worth having more content like so. I have yet to beat her on other professions; I am too poor and out of time to try this season. Also, the culling patch and lack of people in the pit below was a lovely boost to my frame rate.

HoM allowing relatively easy and free gain of Tinkerer achievement

After reaching 10 points into tinkerer via only HoM rewards, I realised that the achievement still increases if you transmute an already transmuted item. So, for example, a cheaply obtained item could be applied the HoM transmute repeatedly and the achievement count will increase.

Here’s what bothers me. HoM rewards can be stacked. This means that someone could obtain a few full stacks (this could take a while) and apply them to the same easily obtained item. Moreover, HoM rewards are accessible once you have linked GW1 and GW2 accounts (trial account works, from what I’ve read).

Because of the free purchases allowed from the vendor as opposed to obtaining transmute stones (yes, some can be obtained free), would this count as an exploit?

If any fix, I’d hope for the inability for HoM transmutes to count to the Tinkerer achievement more than once — once per item if more lenient.
