Guild Wars 2

tried portal invasions for 7-9 times now and sadly, I only get to complete 2 out of those (1 with being able to defeat scarlet, the other not). Now this happens because the game always seems to crash when the event is at the 3rd wave with 10 minutes or less into the game. I always anticipate this and it happens! And when I go back, I’m in overflow (no surprise there). Now this becomes very frustrating when you try to complete the 7 portal invasions, 13 portal invasions, etc etc. I admit that my PC is like 5 years old already but it has been performing fine until now (am still able to play WvW back then and parts of the portal invasion without trouble). It just comes down to that final wave. and what’s sad is I can’t unlock the fun house because of it.. sigh..

That being said, I hope arenanet considers that these kinds of things happen, hence my suggestions:

1) when you DC or your PC crashes, at least give the players some grace period like a minute to five minutes for being able to get back into the game and not into overflow.

2) maybe allow the players who get DC’ed or crashed to at least get partial credit.. of course maybe it should scale according to how many missions you completed during the event and in what rank (bronze, silver, gold)

3) allow players to voluntarily go to overflow (I don’t know if this feature is in) so that players can at least complete the ones that start on overflow

I doubt they’ll be able to fix this but I hope they do consider it in future patches!

Still, great game and patch for me! Hoping for new skills soon!

had the same idea before also, glad I’m not alone! +1 for this idea, it has a lot of potential

I agree and would really like to get the feel of elite capturing again. I enjoyed that aspect of GW1 and in a way was unique and challenging. My thoughts on this is that:

1) I think they should be given to champion level mobs so there would be more reason to seek out these monsters. Of course, champion level mobs in level 30-80 areas

2) capture signet would be an elite skill, maybe purchasable by skill points?

3) of course it would work like how it was in GW1, target the corpse and choose an elite skill to get.

4) You can base many achievements for this! Heck, you can even base a daily for this “Capture 1 elite skill”

of course there would still be the option of purchasing an elite skill for 30 skill points :/ but that would be too boring IMO :/

can’t please everybody :/

I for one am happy with these additions. It’s better than getting nothing. Also, Celestina above has the best solution.

Hey guys! If Kimmes still says that you do not walk the same path with your hero in GW1, just log-in your GW1 character and visit the HoM, then talk to Kimmes, and do every option (dunno if it’s necessary) and you’ll get your items the next time you log-in in GW2.. tried it just now and I can access it now!

I don’t have a Hall of Monument Portal Stone too despite having a linked account though I think my problem is that I deleted my first character immediately after creating him because I suddenly changed my mind and I wasn’t able to see the mail stuff.. Is there anyway to remedy this? Just learned about the stone being in the mail stuff right now…

EDIT

Okay, just walked all the way to Lion’s Arch and got the stone… Kimmes the Historian is saying how I’m not walking the same path as the hero.. anyway to solve this?
