Guild Wars 2

Personally I really would not want this.

If your character is level 80, it’ll have enough HP and more for at least 1 viable build. Unless you want to have all traits and skills unlocked on a character, you won’t have to do a single Hero Challenge. Also, you don’t have to do all the Hero Challenges in the world to reach the HP cap, you’ll only need to do a few. If they make the Challenges account unlocks, they’ll be getting rid of an easy way to obtain the new Mystic Forge currency. (Which I assume will be awarded if you choose to complete Hero Challenges after you reach HP cap.)

I’m not 100% sure but from what I’ve read and heard, any Skill Point from a Skill Challenge you’ve already done will be converted into Hero Points, and not the Mystic Forge currency. I think what’s going to happen is once the patch happens is they’ll look at your total number of completed Skill Challenges, and also the total number of HP you get from leveling and do a calculation of total HP you would have from them. As there is a limit to how much HP you have, any HP over the cap would be converted to the new currency. You won’t get both Hero Points and the Mystic Forge currency from the same Skill Challenge even if you do it now. You’ll get one or the other.

Are you guys serious? Is it actually fixed? I read the patch notes and was disheartened because it wasn’t mentioned but I’m glad i checked the thread. If it’s finally fixed. Yay! Thanks ANet!

“If you already have Scrolls of Knowledge and a bunch of existing skill points, you will end up with a lot of crafting material that converts into a new currency that will be used in the Mystic Forge. We will be talking more about how that works and how you acquire that currency in the future.”

So I suppose they don’t get turned into actual crafting materials, but basically a new replacement currency. If you’re keeping your scrolls around to buy things it looks like there won’t really be any changes? You just can’t use the skill scrolls you currently have to unlock skills for your characters anymore.

“Old skill points in excess of those earned by leveling and skill challenges will be converted into crafting materials for the Mystic Forge.”

I’m guessing we won’t be able to choose which materials though. I’m a little concerned because I have about 1000 skill point scrolls saved up for buying things from Miyani etc. Would it be a good idea to use all of them and predict some things to buy before this releases? I would hate for example for to get 1000 Obsidian Shards when this comes around.

I put gems into the LS specifically for the achievements. Not because It’s a good story (It’s not).

Can I have a refund ANet?

I understand that this is very frustrating for someone who bought the Chapters ONLY for the achievements, but again, the achievements alone aren’t what they’re selling even if that’s all you find worth paying for in the LS. Also, the total AP you get from the one mote being bugged is less than 50. You get more AP from the other Achievements in the single chapter so it isn’t really fair to ask for a refund unless they take can away the AP from the Achievements in Meeting the Asura which you have completed.

If you included the total number of AP from ALL the LS Chapters, it far exceeds the 50 you are missing out on from the one mote bug. If by Achievements you weren’t talking about AP then you can ignore my post and sorry for misinterpreting.

Am I the only one here who has been affected by this bug since day 1 (of the patch that broke Unforgiving Infiltration) and is not hugely upset by it?

I really, really would like a fix as soon as possible, but this one boot skin isn’t all you’re paying for when you buy the chapter. Personally I bought chapters of the LS simply because I love playing through the story instances. The Lumi boot is just ONE skin and the Carapce Boots is extremely similar (better looking IMO.)

I am doing the achievements for the Ascended chest and waiting a few weeks for 1 piece of Ascended armour just doesn’t seem like a big deal. If anyone else is super desperate for a full set of Ascendeds they could just craft it. I don’t see how waiting a little for this one set of armour skins is such a catastrophe. There are other content goals people could be working towards. I’m making a Legendary while I wait for this to be fixed.

I really hope they fix this soon now that someone has acknowledged this bug. Though to those of people saying it’s been 3 months: it’s only been roughly 3 weeks that the mote has been COMPLETELY broken. Before that it was only unreliable but worked most of the time.

It was such a pity because the day right before the patch which broke the mote I had been doing the other Meeting the Asura Achievements and saw the mote many times. If only I had done the achievement then.

Hello, I’ve been playing for almost two years without much exploration into guild activities and contribution so now I’m looking for a new guild.

One important thing to note is that I can not 100% rep since I am currently part of a tiny guild owned by a friend, however, the guild is very inactive and I play a lot more than the other members. I will am willing to rep close to 100% and the character I’ll be repping with is a level 80 Guardian. Currently on Sanctum of Rall but I don’t WvW much, and I have never done any PvP so I’m incredibly inexperienced there.

I’m on NA server but I live in New Zealand so I’m hoping for an friendly OCE based guild.

I’m having the same problem as many of the other users here. I’m not sure if it’s the same as OP but it also started after the patch.

Downloaded the patch fine but when I hit “Play” the screen flickers a bit and then my whole system sort of freezes, forcing me to restart. There isn’t a error message, it seems just to get stuck in some infinite loop of switching to the program. I’m also running Windows XP 32-bit, same as most others with the issue and Nvidia 8600 GT graphics card.

Starting in windowed mode using -perf -windowed works for now though so thanks for suggesting!
