Guild Wars 2

Please make ALL Orr traits trigger on ‘Defend’, and not just on ‘Take’.

I have yet to see a contested Gates of Arah, and due to the megaserver, I can no longer Guest on another server to find one.

I do not see the point in creating Trait ‘Adventures’ that are impossible to complete by experiencing the game. I am not interested in paying money for multiple traits, across 13 characters.

If the achievements worked the first time you did things correctly, we wouldn’t need to keep disrupting groups to do them.

Imo, it’s bad design that the best chance of getting an achievement is by logging out and letting your team 4 man something. But since that’s how it’s been released, and such a short time left ( 10 days is it? ) you can’t really expect people not to keep trying…

If you really don’t want achievement hunters in your group you should put that in your lfg post, or make it clear in group chat at the start.

What’s funny, is that you don’t always get the achievement even when you do kill her without wiping, in under 15 minutes.

all the achievements in this dungeon are unpredictable

All of my slayer titles seem to have been reduced by 1 kill (999/1000).

The only one I really care for is the legendary survivor, which is now reads 499,999 out of 500,000, and wasn’t trivial to achieve..

Hoping it can be patched, and not soemthing I have to try and regain :/

Rajani Isa.6294:

As of Monday you should be able to re-enter (unless I e miss a bug thread about that not going through).

This problem here is leader went afk

This isn’t the case..

Just had this exact issue. 10 minutes into the first fractal, one of the party members left. Not disconnected, but fully left the party, for no reason we could see. No word, we’d had no wipes etc.

Turns out he was the ‘instance’ owner, and we’re all kicked back to lions arch, with no fractals instance. Nothing to reconnect to, and re-entering creates a new instance.

I guess although he wasted the time we’d spent forming the fractals group, at least we hadn’t gotten too far into it :/

The snowflakes start was truly the most tricky part for me. Not the difficulty of the jumps per se, but the fact that the initial part was different for each of the three starter areas. Just as I getting into a rhythm for one, I’d be shifted to another, and lose my timing.

It took it little bit of time for me to get the pattern sorted in my head, for the three starts. Perhaps an hour or two. Once I’d finished that, I think I made it through the rest of the puzzle on the second try.

I don’t think it’s possible to estimate a % that made it through the puzzle. Most of these people likely don’t even post on the forum.

I spent quite some time over the festival, farming the boxes in open world, in the hope of seeing a special additional box drop. But, I have yet to see, or hear of anyone finding one. Ever.

I rather believe Anet misworded their patch notes, and they do not drop. After all, given the number of boxes we’ve opened as a community, however low the drop rate, I rather think we would have heard about one by now.

Anet hasn’t commented on this since the start of the festival :/

Also a bit confused about this, seems odd to give 200 cogs instead of 250.

Took a while for me to finish this also.

We’d missed a tiny little house in the norn area, right on the edge of the overlook.

Opened ~ 220

Two weapon skins ( staff + dagger )
3 recipes ( Ori cloth, Ori weapon, linen one)
85 socks, 88 sweaters, 20 hats
9 flawless snowflakes + a dozen or so total of the lesser ones.

I tried killing some of the level 80 ventaris in the open world, and had a very low success rate solo. Their retaliation buff is applied for 30 seconds at a time, which is much too long. My dodges are used up in the first few seconds, and then you begin being constantly peppered by the red circles you cannot get out of.

I inititally thought I was supposed to kite them while their retaliation ran out, but they reapplied it within 2-3 seconds, for another 30 seconds. Perhaps I could have interuppted one, but not all five >< If single targeting is the way to go, I’m not sure how you are supposed to survive the constant ranged attacks and aoe fields from the others while you do so.

Defensive skills, ranged domes etc only last so long. Not nealy enough to offer you enough to survive through so many ventari’s.

I saw a dev posted in another threat about their difficulty, asking if we’d consider taking friends to help. I’d love to do that. Unfortuately no one was online in my guild, and I got no replies in map chat. Getting additional people is not always an option.

The only solution I found was, as mentioned above, to fight vastly underleveled ones.

Farmed 200+ boxes in open world encounters last night. Not once did I get anything other than standard boxes.

Either I’m exceedingly unlucky, or the chance of a store box dropping is very very low.

I understand they cannot just give them away, as they wish people to buy them with gems, but if they’re advertised as a drop, it would be nice to have seen at least one. Right now I’m wondering if they even do drop) Perhaps a mistake has been made somewhere.

There’s no guarntee on that. The additional replays of the content may just reward gifts.

Since they’re offering the crafted mini’s in the store for 350 gems each, perhaps thats the reason they only allow you to craft 2 of the 5.

Does it have to be 500k in one ‘sitting’ ?

I.e Does logging out / being disconnected reset your progress?

Detha bugged out on the final phase for us.

We ran through the last 2 groups of gravelings/ooze adjacent to the final room, and Detha died on the steps just outside. We killed the gravelings/ooze and rezed Detha. She followed us into the room, and stood in the middle, but failed to begin working on the traps.

We tried bringing in the ooze at the other door, but even solo, Detha managed to kill them all. Afterward, she just reset at the centre of the room. After 20 minutes of trying to pull in gravelings without them resetting, we finally pulled in one Graveling Scavenger. Unfortunately Detha, after 8 minutes, killed that solo. It took a Graveling Stalker to do the job ><

Thankfully when we rezzed her after she was kiled by the graveling, she immediately progressed the event, and we successfully finished the dungeon)

Just completed this with a friend. Killed boss, looted chest, gold reward.

But no ingame achievement

Strangely, the only times I have ever encountered an eternal loading screen, is about trying to enter the EB jump puzzle.

It never occurs between waypoints, changing from pve to pvp etc.. .just entering the mystic portal, about 1 in 3 times.

Doesn’t seem to matter what character I’m on, happens to all of them. But to be specific.

I’m on Whiteside Ridge, and I use a human necro, a human engineer and an asura ele. All female.

Human
Necro
No Speed Boost

More time than I care to think about

Really really glad to finally make it last night ^^

Same for Whiteside Ridge :/

Completed meta events, waited…. no doors.

Yes. Both Lunactics and Reapers still inaccessible for me since launch

I would second that, fear seems to have some kind of affect here.

And it is still bugged, we crashed last night POST-patch.

Thanks for the link

I did send the report to areanet each time it appeared, hopefully it helped.

I am on Whiteside Ridge Server.

I can’t recall the group makeup of the 1st crash.

But todays groups ( I think, anyway)

1) Necro, guardian, guardian, mesmer, thief
2) Necro, necro, ranger, guardian, ele

Since the 1/10 patch, I’ve experienced group wide crashes in TA.

On the forward, up path, during the fight with Vivena, the client crashes all party members for no apparent reason.

I imagine it can’t be an issue with my own pc, since all party members are simultaneously crashed to desktop, with the message ’ gw2 has commited an error, would you like to send a report to areanet? ’

First night after patch, 1 crash during the fight, then ok.

Earlier today, two seperate crashes during the fight, then ok.

It adds quite a lot of time (and repairs) to runs when the entire party crashes, has to relog in, repair, and run back to the end of the instance multiple times.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

It’s quite a balancing act for the dev’s.

Make the fight easy enough it can be completed by any class combination, but hard enough it provides a decent challenge.

I seem to recall seeing a dev post in a similar topic he was going to look into the crystal spawn, so thats something.

I get why they disabled it, while they decided on a fix.

I just find it very irritating. Ever tried to write or call tactics in a team fight, with 10 of those messages spamming your chat box every minute In every channel…

There was supposed to be an update today, maybe we’ll get a fix.

I loved the dungeons in guildwars 1 They were awesome, and I have some fond memories there.

Its hard to compare the difficulties of the two. Having customsiable npcs in gw1 run the dungeons with you, made it much easier, as the AI could react faster than a player to interupt, heal, place hexes etc..

There are times when I’m stood at a particular dungeon entrance, with no one in sight, no answer to tells, you kinda wish you did have the npc option :p I’m glad they didn’t though, as it forces those of us that want to dungeons to play together and learn, rather than splitting off individually with npcs.

I agree dungeon rewards are bugged.

I seem to recall Areanet saying somewhere, that diminishing returns on tokens would only affect those doing ‘speed clears’, more than 1 dungeon completition in 30 minutes. It seems to be affected all clears within 24 hours right now, regardless of how long you took to complete it.

I did TA 3 times last night.

Up, 60 tokens.
Up 2nd run, 15 tokens.
Forward Up, 45 tokens.

Would hardly call any of them a speed clear, since they took us over an hour each. Knew I wouldn’t get 60 the second run, but expected 20. No idea why I only got 15. Same for the first run of forward up, no idea why I got 45 in steadof 60. Only dungeons I did that day, no speed clears :/

Does this mean I can only do one run of TA per 24 hours, any path, without being hit with diminishing returns? :/

Completed AC exp this afternoon, first time i’ve seen it.

Was an interesting strategy to wall hug, jump over boulders, and run through 90% of mobs until they reset. Only the bosses had to be fought really.

Not sure if it’s intended to be done that way, it was certainly quick. Lot easier than storymode

It does seem like a lot of things to do right now. But then again, so did Gwamm, and most of us got that in the end)

If legendarys were easy to get a few weeks after release, you’d only be complaining the game was too easy, and had no goals left for you.

Such things aren’t supposed to be a achievable in a day, or a week, but the accumulation of time and hard work over a period of months. Its that which makes it a Legendary achievement, after all.

EasymodeX.4062:

1. I just, this past weekend, spent 24 hours farming kitten wool, cotton, and linen on my level 80 in level 25-65 zones. The direct loot drops are about half and half low level / my level. The bag drops are 100% low level.

If you think you’re getting all “your level” drops in low level zones, you’re on crack.

2. If you’re actually going to spend any significant amount of time gathering low level mats from nodes, BUY A LOWER TIER GATHERING TOOL. JFC.

Your comment about level drops isn’t helpful at all. I could start posting screenshots of level 70 items dropping from level 30 centaurs, but I’m sure someone with your attitude wouldn’t believe those either. Hopefully a dev will answer us at some point, and set things straight.

I’d love to buy some more copper mining picks on my level 80. But since the last patch, I’m no longer able to purchase anything but mithril or ori ones at any merchant at any level, in any zone. Which is odd :/

I’ve finished the storyline on a human necro, and I dont recall any major difficulties aside from the bugged mission in Orr.

Asura ele is a whole different ballgame though

Some examples..

Salt in the wound – Plunku + 1 golem is fine, Plunku + 4 golems is a pain in thekitten Especially when your 3 npcs ‘helpers’ died in the first 5 seconds. But I think the main problem I had with it, was the way she teleported onto the spawn point, meaning you could not die & rez the entire mission.

To clarify, even when you died on the far side of the room, and she had fully reset, the moment you respawned at the entrance, the boss and any remaining golems teleported onto the spawn point and wiped you out within 2 seconds. Perhaps it was intended to stop graveyard zerging and learn to do the fight in one go, but it was irritating to have to restart the whole mission each time. Harsh learning curve at level 14 ><

Free Rein – Talking to kudu and zoija, implies you must ‘pass through’ or ‘defeat’ the four types of elementals, 1 by 1, so thats largely what I tried to begin. With 2 elementals at each shrine though, its impossible to kill them, as they almost instantly respawn. I’ve managed to get to kudu a few times, by wall hugging and scraping over rocks, to gank him from behind. Its just not an obvious thing to try.

Especially as, similar to the previous mission, a single death means you need to restart. Kudu teleports to the spawn, or zoija+robot bug at the start.

I saw in an article somewhere, that guildwars 2 doesn’t have a tutorial per se, or any explanation of your class. Its supposed to ‘teach you along the way’, with personal story and skill challenges. I don’t want the game difficulty to be made easier, but perhaps a little bit more explanation about combo’s, and the way classes can utilise themselves, might help people get a better start.

It is a little bizarre.

I’ve been doing harathi hinterlands (35-45 zone) on my level 80, and found the same. I was hoping for a lot of lower level crafting mats to help out my alts, but 75% of the loot has all been level 70+.

I probably shouldn’t complain about how many green level 75 items I got from level 37 centaurs, or the couple of 76 gold staves.

But being an avid crafter, I actually would have prefered half a stack of wool, scales, fangs etc)

If you can only farm lower level ingreedients on appropriate level characters, it is going to make them much harder to acquire :/

After seeing how many people this ‘fix’ was working for, I thought I’d give it a go, and went through the instance for the 3rd time.

In the final fight, I stay entirely out of range, and did not hit the boss once, as directed.

Not one of the npcs went below 3/4 health, they did massive damage to the boss each, while he apparently did squat

The saving grace for me, was when the boss did an aoe fear shortly before he died in his 2nd incarnation. Briene was on full health, but being feared far enough away from the rest of the npcs, triggered teh next part of the quest.

After the boss was did, Deborah came and cried next to briene, so upset he was dead, all the while he stood patiently next to her, talking about his dog ally >< See attachment.

Anyways. The quest moved forward, so at least I can move on from this instance, albeit in a strange way. Pity there’s so many bugs associated with it.

Skill point at Bayt Fallahin
Malchor’s Leap
No foe
Gunnars Hold

Skill point near Winterkneel Labyrinth
Cursed Shore
No foe present
Gunnar’s Hold

Yup, those 2 skillpoints are bugged.

The enchanted sword in cursed shore suffers from teh same bug :/

Hit by this bug as well

First run of this instance, I tried to save him and succeeded. Googled the issue when the npc wouldn’t speak to me afterwards, and tried again.

Second run, I didn’t fight the boss in the entire second phase. Just let the npcs do it, hoping he’d give the guy enough damage to kill him. Unfortunately the npcs did enough damage to kill the boss entirely by themselves, while beriene didn’t go below 2/3 health :/ How exactly is he supposed to die against such a weak boss ><

I see a dev posted 2 days back about a possible fix. Hopefully that comes in soon, I’ve been really enjoying the personal storyline up until this point

Gunnars Hold Server.

Central reinforcements seem to be bug free now. Unfortunately now the southern are having problems

Meta Event Name – Southern Invasion of Orr
Name of stuck Dynamic Event – Escort the weapons transport to Lasciate Gate on Orr
Objective text for the stuck event – The npc/dolyak no longer make progress. They still react to enemies occasionally spawning around them, but they remain stationary, and don’t move further along the route.. Even when the entire island has been cleared around them.
Date when you encountered the block: Its blocked right now, 12th september 2.30pm gmt

Not sure how to attach a screenshot to a forum post, but i’ve attached one to the bug report I wrote ingame.

I can buy things, but not sell.

Tried leaving it ‘loading inventory’ for 10 minutes or so, but nothing appears :/

Same problems with Kyesjard on Gunnars Hold server.

Using the potion successfully turned me into a mole.

However, when trying to walk around the outpost, the mole legs didn’t move. It was rather like gliding, or ice skating.

Is it intended you just stand still as a transformed figure? Or is it an animation bug.

Good to hear they’re working on a solution

I think allowing you to change your skills every time you’re out of combat, encourages you to pick skills for a situation, rather than a ‘pve build’ that you use 1-80.

Some skills are great for mob heavy events, others for single target bosses.

While I agree the tooltips could provide more clarity, its hardly a game bug that you can’t use every skill optimally in every type of situation.

As a necromancer myself, I do favour the minion master tree. Creating a minion for free every time you kill a foe is incredibly potent, if you combine it with 2 other skills. Part of game play though, is working out what skills work best, in what combination ; and more importantly, for your own style.

Bugged for me also.

I think it just depends how lucky you are. People have lost it from mapping (going into overflow), getting dc’d ( in a town, so no death), logging off normally. And others have done all those things and gotten the title :/

My achievement is still stuck on 35k :/ Should read twice that, at least.

Yup. Lost mine at 35k a few days back, and even after gaining 80k+ in one session/zone the achievement still reads 35k.
