Guild Wars 2

This is still bugged.

I realise that this is probably low priority but it is annoying it is still not fixed.

won 3 games but only got reward for 1. Not sure the wins counted for Crab Toss Champion but the y might have.

Crab Toss regular not ticking over at all and possibly crabgrabber also not working but did not test this.

I have done the dailies everyday. I did not get an extra 8 tok…… oh wait you mean that orange I got was not a drop it was an either or?

Oh frel, I missed that – just one dbl handed for me this year then.

Real disappointment that red skins are done this way.

Be getting this on and off all day. Have noticed that it does not seem to happen if I launch the old 32 bit exe file so wonder if it is a problem around the 64 bit only or that maybe just coincidence?

Great thread and I think nearly everything covered. A trawl through my characters, bank, mules and personal guild stash reveals the following wish list!

Anet you knocked the ball out of the park!

Good lore, loads of potential plotlines, some comedic moments, great map with some great achieves.

I’ll praise it all now as I am sure I will be spitting feathers when it comes to the JP!!

Really enjoyed LS3.1

Great storylines, really interesting map, LS easily soloable although does go quicker with 2 or 3.

Love the flight attacks.

So many bugs with this story instance please get it sorted out.

I have put 9 characters through this so far and everyone has been bugged.

Either rift is bugged or you get to last phase and his break bar will not go down when you interact with the rift.

Sort of okay in normal mode although still slightly annoying BUT in Migraine mode it is downright frustrating. 3 hours in and got to the end phase for it to bug and with only 1 party still alive and breakbar would not break on using the rift and as only 1 party left unable to break the bar to finish him off.

These bugs have been ongoing for weeks/months and need to be sorted. To get to the final chapter and to be still full of bugs after all this time is wrong.

This event was bugged again. Spent 40 minutes trying to do this with various sizes of groups from 3 to 5 to 8 a 30 person zerg. Event would get to 10 larvae or 80% and then no further.

Even if we kept the 10 larvae alive for a few minutes it would get no further.

Just put one of my Priory characters through HoT story and to complete my Scholars Pack collection.

I needed a Dragonvine Priory Strap – hint complete Hearts & Minds.

Just done and although priory strap showed on rewards I did not get it. Not in inventory and not unlocked in collection.

Highly annoying as yesterday beat mordermoth and then it bugged before we were able to deliver the killing blow.

Thanks Anet GJ on the patch. Love the increased tokens on dungeons and the rework in HOT

Did 10 dungeon paths tonight and not one crash so might just be lucky or is it a WvW thing?

Agreed, could not use plank karka shell, fishing rod.

Could not throw crab at any one else when I had it.

The only way to lose the grab was if the baby karkas got you.

It has always been a pain this achieve but at least they dropped it from 100 to 20 this year!

If you enter the queue be ready to accept simple as that.

Why should 9 others have to hang around because of your laziness? Or because you have been distracted.

No I cannot wait 3 minutes for you. When I enter a queue I have ensured:

I had my kitten break
Got my beer filled
I am ready and waiting

Trouble with a ton of you halfwits is your attention span is less than a millisecond.

I sort of agree with you but what is your alternative solution?

It is the one thing that stops me advancing to Part 2 and it does feel wrong that I am forced to play 3 games in a day when I might not have the time or might want to do things with the guild or a night of fractals.

However my concern with making it amount of games played is that you will get a lot of people just joining the games and doing basically nothing just to advance their achievement. Of course they maybe doing this for 3 games a day but I have not seen it so far.

Anet have to find a balance and they obviously feel that the 15 day min 3 games shows some loyalty to the pvp community.

Be good to see some alternative theories of how you would change it

This one is ridiculous. Been in the area on and off all week. Lucky for me got some exam revision to do so plant my sylvari on the ledge where he spawns and revise away. Not seen him yet.

Perhaps he knows I am waiting and only spawns when I go for a coffee or comfort break.

Another 5 continuous hours in Dry Top so far today.

Anet I love the HoT expansion but you got this badly wrong assigning a collection item to such a rare event. Please do not do this again.

Okay we also did not set up a Guild Team inside the Guild tab so that may have been the problem.

Was not particularly obvious.

We started Medium PVP Guild Missions Conquest – Then entered queue. Did match got over 800 personal points won match but the Guild Mission did not complete and we noticed that favor was not taken although the GM was active and said Active PvP Conquest written in Green.

What I did like

1. the different mechanics at each event – although of course once you had done one zone it was rinse and repeat. Perhaps 6 different mechanics?
2. the short 30 minute duration with 30 min break and then hour break after 3rd zone. Thought this was really good
I did not like.
3. The blooms I thought were a good reward and set about right level. Although to get the higher rewards or if you wanted more than 1 would have taken a lot of farming. But personally I like this as I hate games that give you something for showing up. You should always have to work for your rewards not get them given on a plate.

I did not like.

1. The tag and run attitude of a lot of people to get to 20 stacks. but to be fair to them the events set up encouraged this behaviour. I struggled to hit 15 stacks in the 30 minutes and tagged and run a couple of times to get that level. Is there a way to reward the event if you stay to the end or perhaps tag one of the last modrem invaders?
2. No Exp for kills – just seems wrong to run around for 30 mins and get no exp for killing things
3. No loot drops – of course champion drops means the zerg start farming champs and ignore events.
4. constant WP hopping to get to events.
5. Short time frame in which to farm for Blooms – doesn’t seem to fit in with overall story only hitting these specific 3 areas and for a few days.

Overall I though it was an okay event and would like to see something similar ran.

Same for me this is my 8th toon completing world explorer and never had a trouble before. But I was on the map for over an hour and you could not get through either door. Yes I tried jumping along the ridge and jumping down into the area and I got insta ported out of the area.

Been a while since I did explorer on my other toons but tonight thought I would finish off my thief and had Bloodtide Coast left to do.

All completed but this one skill point on Laughing Gull Island

Why oh why is it now locked behind gates inside the Taidha event that only happens every 3 hours?

Unless I have missed some other way in to get to it? (I hope so!) Seems a really poor decision to only be able to get a skill point by doing a world event.

Love you Anet! Great stuff and love the music on death. Think I’ll go jump some more cliffs.

Absolute joke Dragon Ball.

Been playing 2 hours and still only on 2 wins and no I am not crap at it either. Get rid of the Daily 5 wins and stop the grind. DB was garbage last time and still is if you are trying to get 5 wins every day.

I am not a person that tries to constantly get on the wining side.

Balancing is nil. Top team ends up on the sale side for the next match.

No fun

Okay so perhaps you can clarify this for me.

I am already maxed at 10k for dailies.

I bevel the new cap to be 15k. So when I did my 3 dailies did I receive any AP? My aily cap still says 10k. The monthly cap is still there and does not appear to have changed?

Have i missed something?

I leveled a storage toon to level 50 a couple days ago with tomes and lvl 20 scroll. But all that other stuff was just plain a pain in the rear. Cannot ever see myself doing a new toon with all that restricted garbage they introduced.

TexZero.7910:

It is another unnecessary change that isn’t something we need or want.

Thanks for resources into a project that didn’t warrant it and not fixing other more glaring issues like player retention, making your game modes more meaningful, oh and pre-cursor crafting when ?

Too many things that should have been addressed way before this.

Agreed another goal post change for the sake of it.

Stop changing the goal posts Anet!!

The current system appears fine. I maxed daily AP months ago so just do my dailies now for the laurel but do not have to really work for them they just come through natural play.

“Finally, in a release coming early next year, we will merge the existing daily and monthly achievement point caps into one pool. This will allow players to continue working toward the maximum point totals for the daily achievement system without the existence of monthly achievements”

Question. If you are combining monthly and daily total together does that me in effect as I am already at the daily cap I lose all my monthly AP effectively reducing my AP by 2600 points?

Or do I have 2400 points left to a max combined cap of 15k

Agreed apart from the stupid grinding to get body parts this is my miggest gripe in what is an excellent episode.

I have struggled with the stealth achieve (do not want to dulfy it) why do we have to sit through all the cut scenes every time. I thought anet had sorted this 2 episodes ago when we didn’t have to exit the story and start the instance again to work on an achieve. A big step backwards.

So I’m in the maze centre and get downed on my first go through smack in the middle of all the NPC’s are they totally ignore my continued plea for a help out of my downed state. Frelling useless NPC’s

Similar, when you rescue them in the maze, if you don’t speak to them straight away they stand there do nothing whilst a fight is going on. Just so unrealistic.

Appears to be fixed. Thanks Anet

The red circle is in the wrong place and there is no vine to get into the centre of the maze. Backtrack along to the long path that goes into the middle from the East side of the circle. Up and to the right of where the red indicator is blinking.

On my Guardian character every time I select personal story in the Hero Panel the game locks and becomes unresponsive. Logged to my Necro and could access personal story panel and start episode 6.
h
Logged back to Guardian and it hung again on selecting personal story. Perhaps you can fix his RNG at the same time as he is the unluckiest character ever! Also tried moving him from Hoelbrak to LA but no difference.

Same problem with my Ranger – hangs every time you click on story journal in hero panel
Logged to my engi, 2 warriors, thief, ele, mes all okay and episode 6 available

Best Patch ever guys. Thank you

Love that on the achieves you don’t have to redo the whole story – great touch
New map – great constant content – time slips by in there.
The Archives – excellent and I think this could be expanded on further
Glints Lair – masterstroke absolutely stunning.
Some interesting new mechanics and regular loot

Keep up the great work – you have set the bar very high with this patch.

since the patch every time I look at BLTC the game crashes.

Not sure they flagged this but dungeon runes are now Account bound and no longer soul bound.

I so hope I am wrong but I bet this is a money grab decision. So for the pack rats that kept their minis they get an instant 120 AP boost and no need to buy more. Good for you guys congratulations.

I just wish they would stop changing the Goal Posts and ANET have done it again. We had an achieve that was to collect the minis. We could then sell them if we wanted to as there seemed little point and no reason to keep the ones you did not want as it was wasted gold.

Now we have got to buy (not collect) either from the Primary Market (ANET) using gems or secondary market BLTC at very inflated prices as there will be a limited secondary market for as you have to account bound the minis to get the collection.

I was afraid they would do this, unfortunately they do not care about the 100-200 odd AP kitten we are small compared to the player base.

Guess we suck it up and move on.

As a big trader in Spamadam I was skeptical of BLTC but I NEVER EVER want to go back to player trading.

And the main reasons

No spam chat
Having to trawl through player listings
It is so much easier to find want you want on BLTC
Easier to sell
And so much more time in game rather than in selling mode.

The one downside I dislike is the 5% listing penalty if you take something off the market but it is probably an important mechanic to make people list correctly in the first place.

Beware what you wish for…..

I am taking a guess that one of the new collectible Achievements will be for having account bound minis.

So those who already have the mini set achieves will no doubt have to buy them all again just like the cultural armor. Goal posts changing again.

1. Price skyrocket on BLTC as we have seen in last 24 hours.
2. Money grab by ANET as they are the primary market for minis not the player base
3. Secondary market will be priced beyond most peoples reach.
4. Gold sink as having 150 odd minis in your skins is pretty kitten useless and will cost you a fortune.

All because people are too kitten lazy to store a mini in their inventory and click on it.
How many people really want to use the same mini on each of their toons where they have such a wide choice available to them.

Anet I hope you prove me wrong and that there are no achieves for having account bound minis and that those of us that bothered to collect them once do not have to do so again……

barnabas j collins.2306:

You may not, in fact, have bought all the armor. You only needed 18 unique pieces of each culture to get emperor. Each culture actually has 54 pieces of armor. So, for instance, you only needed to get 1 t3 glove – it didn’t matter whether it was heavy, medium or light. So, if you bought 6 pieces of t3 light asuran armor, for instance, you could have gotten the title without unlocking any heavy armor at all.

Ah just re-read this and that makes sense of course there is light, medium and heavy and yes you are right we only needed one set at each level.

Grimm

I hear you but with the cost of Cultural Armor, especially T3, being as expensive as they are and the fact that they can easily identify those that have the Emperors New Wardrobe Achieve surely it would be reasonably easy to unlock those skins?

tbh some of the cultural skins are/were pretty naff and I bought them for the AP more than the looks. It was a step to the title not because I wanted the skins at the time. So I will just have to use some other skin because ?I am sure as hell not buying them all over again.

kitten that is not good and a lot of wasted gold.

Cannot find a previous topic to see if this has been asked. I wanted to upgrade my asuran to cultural but could not see listed in my wardrobe. Knowing that I have the achieve The Emperor’s New Wardrobe I have obviously previously bought all the cultural armor. and expected it all to be unlocked.

So why then are the cultural armor skins still locked?

Am I expected to spend another ton of gold to unlock them?

Tried that loads of times Fluffball. But as a previous poster said people then get Champitus and ignore the thieves.

Have you opened up story journal tab in Hero’s panel and checked that it is active?

Great news, they can shove SAB where the sun don’t shine. Did it all, but hated it, every bit of it, until the final achieve and then it was okay

Seriously though I always felt it was wrong having it in GW2. Just does not fit for me.

Glad to see I am not the only one unhappy. It is not the event itself that concerns me just the positioning with all the non interested players scaling the event up.

Esplen.3940:

I got it by taking the waypoint and getting hit by a mob as it ended.

So it was random how you got the achieve.

I have no problem with the event or location of the event but putting an achieve on this event in Dry Top is ill thought out.

The event scales up due to people being afk, people using the merchants, or just WP through after a jump death or two!

I have done this event over 20 times and yet to get the achieve. It is out of my control to get the achieve due to its location and randomness of people being around the WP but with no interest in doing the event.

My only hope is a major zerg happens to be on at the same time I am.

Please do not put achieves on events next to a major waypoint like the repair station.

My daughter is having the same unreal lag problems since the last update.

Previous we had no issues the game ran fine apart from grpahics crashes occiasionnaly on loading a map. It is not a top spec computer but she has previously PVE’d since game came out on this rig with no problems. Now lag is so bad it is unplayable.

Yet behind the same router and same connection I have no lag issues.

So thinking it must be the computer I have updated the Graphics Drivers, Vista is SP2 and is fully updated. Checked using Malawarebytes and AVG all clear. Deleted temp files and basically used AVG tool kit to tune PC up. Followed guide at top of this forum for Nvidia cards and it is still just as unplayable.

Oh and done a speedtest from UK to West Coast USA and all seems okay with D/L 13mb and upload 10mb.

Other games like Left4Dead2 and TF2 all run without a hitch.
