Why do some items not properly transmute?

Well just now it worked. But it still destroyed the upgrade slot. And just improved the items base stats a bit.

I have no idea what your problem with this is…

When you’re transmuting, click on the Fanatic Mantle, then click on the blue item’s stats, then click on the blue item’s upgrade (if inserted). If there is no upgrade inserted, the empty slot will transfer right on over (it’s directly tied to the stats).

Won’t work for me! I can’t transmute that item at all it seems. Not sure why, just that it makes no sense to me.

So I create a new Guardian and chose the Fanatic’s Mantle for my shoulders. And I level up to 11 when I can get a blue set of shoulders with an upgrade slot. But I discover that I cannot transmute the look of my Fanatic’s Mantle without loosing said slot. This effectively makes that item worthless.

I have two issues with this…
1. I have other characters with similar items where transmutation doesn’t do this – it leaves the item you’re transmuting it onto alone.
2. I thought that one of the main tenants of transmuting items was to make it so that I could have my character “look the way I wanted”. And this flies in the face of that idea.

I mean it’s not like I don’t spend plenty of real money in the Gem Store so I can buy transmutation stones. And I presume that you want me to continue to do so. …Don’t You? If you do, then I suggest you fix this issue. Because stuff like this makes you “look bad”. And it makes me a decidedly unhappy customer.

Note for those who will undoubtedly take issue with this post: I have lots of characters and I’m very picky about how they look. So I go through lots of stones. But I’m supporting AreanaNet by doing so and it make sense to me that I should be able to make suggestions like this one. So if you don’t agree that’s fine! Just don’t waste everyone’s time replying.

Since last patch I’ve had good spells and others that make me want to drive my car through Arena Net’s front door… I don’t know which makes me angrier about the last patch. The changes to the achievement system that don’t work at all with how I like to play. Or the complete lack of stability I experience in some zones.

What I’m saying is: When I play on a lower level character in the starting areas its better (not perfect but passable), but as soon as I go to a higher level zone its FUBAR.

The way the daily display works is that is checks your computers clock. If it is set to 11am + timezone it displays todays achievements, otherwise it displays yesterdays.

Currently your computer is telling GW2 that it is yesterday.

Check which timezone your computer is set to, and if the correct time is set.

Well its nice to see you changed your story. In that other thread you were saying that we were seeing “Tomorrow’s Daily Achievement List”. Now you are saying that the client thinks its “Yesterday”, which at least makes sense.

The problem is that my computer’s clock is spot on. And I even checked my BIOS to make sure there wasn’t a conflict. So wherever you got this information… IT IS INCORRECT!

Sigil of Corruption doesn’t seem to work now either.

You seem to be viewing tommorrow’s daily achievements.

Check your timezone setting and make sure your computers clock is set to the right time.

Once updated the achievements should update within 20 seconds.

You’re kidding right? And I am being serious in asking… Because what you said seems to make no sense. Why should it show me “Tomorrow’s Daily Achievements”? Because, by definition, I shouldn’t be able to work on them until Tomorrow or they aren’t “Daily Achievements”.

Also my clock is set to the correct time zone. And I’ve got it set to sync with a time server every time I start my computer. So that’s not the issue either.

I actually thought I wasn’t getting credit because I kept getting disconnected. But now that I know others aren’t getting credit for these. I wonder if I was getting disconnected because the server was having trouble keeping track of, or updating, my progress. All I know is that if things don’t improve I’ll quit playing.

To many other games out there…

I agree that the new system was completely not needed.

In fact it destroys my sense of accomplishment and enjoyment. Because it tries to force me to play the game in ways that are not of my choosing. For example: today it wants me to do so much crafting (when I need to gather more materials); and/or it wants me to kill so many underwater critters (not really sure if it wants some of both or it I’d have to do massive quantities of just one to get the achievement?). So what if I don’t want to kill underwater stuff? Seriously I did that yesterday and today I’m not interested.

So NOW you’re going to penalize us (and not being able to get the achievement is a “penalty”) arbitrarily because we aren’t doing what you want, when you want it done. Who’s brilliant Idea was that?

Oh and can this be applied to different sets? Or is it a one time only type deal?

So that’s all it takes? Just unequip it, then double-click and apply to each part of you set?

Seems like it should be that easy… But I don’t want to buy till I’m certain that’s the deal.

It’s a skin, you have to transmute its look over some other heavy armor for it to be wearable.

So you have to buy an “Armor Skin” … then buy something else to “transmute” it to another set of armor… then it only works for that set? I’m confused! I mean I was interested until I read your statement. Now I’m totally not interested.

What I want is something that goes over my armor and looks cool. But I’m not spending a ton of money on it. Got too many “mouths to feed”.

As of this afternoon the Search function of the trading post, as in the filters, don’t return any results. Some others report that the trading post is also not working for them (Including a friend of mine who decided not to play because its not working…). And others say its working for them. Not sure what’s going on here!?!

I’ve tried relogging, completely. I’ve tried switching characters. I’ve tried moving to a different zone. I’ve tried restarting my computer and using a different computer. And I’ve tried resetting my cable modem and router… Nothing works.

Now I found a fresh thread discussing this particular issue at https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Trade-Post-Search-Brings-No-results-Found-Bug. But it was merged with this thread so it could get lost in the shuffle I guess. In any case this needs to be fixed soon. Its just not right to do this to players and do Nothing About It.
