Guild Wars 2

I was about to make a topic about this and noticed this one was already up and want to add to this.

I’m a Guardian and I was messing around with a friend while doing an escort quest in Kessex Hills (the one with the little kid) and, just because everyone was throwing out their skills and looking cool, I threw down my two handed staff Line of Warding spell and put the wall in front of the NPC so we would just walk across it. To my complete surprise, the NPC bumped into it and kept running into it, not passing to the goal area till the ward went away.

I quickly apologized in game and laughed a bit about it with my friend and we went on our way. Later that session, I decided to test it after the quest had been turned in on another NPC in the same area (a caravan escort mission) and the two NPCs I trapped ran into it over and over till the ward went away, making one run to catch up with the group that had left him behind but causing the other one to walk around lost. Since then, I’ve tested it on a few NPCs, both quest and just regular ones walking around, and have seen that most will be blocked by the ward.

I’m not sure if this intended but I definitely recommend looking into this. I can just see blocking quest NPCs to grief other players becoming an issue. And this was not fixed in the most recent patch at the time of posting, I tested both things out a few more times before posting this.

I’ve had the same problem. I’ve been able to join some of my brother’s story quests but most of the time, it doesn’t even give us the option to do it with each other. I thought maybe it was because we’re both Sylvari and I’m much higher level than him (he’s 27, I’m 56) and have already done the same quests in my story but it let me join one that I didn’t think it would so I’m really confused.

The point I remember this becoming an issue is when the Sylvari stories meet and all start to follow the same path, if that helps.

Specifically: (Sylvari spoilers)
I was only able to join one of the Harbinger quests (the last one in the set) and cannot join any of his pre Order choice quests (starting with the quest that he choses to use golems or people to fight off an attack).

I am having this problem as well. Can’t even get past the first part, the Avatar just stands there looking clueless and not talking or moving. I don’t even know what’s supposed to happen next, so I ran around and killed a lot of the mobs, still didn’t help. Have tried this a few times. =\ Lame.

Edit: lol it seems that posting always fixes a problem. I decided to try one last time and this time it seemed to go through without a hitch.

I am looking for this very same thing. Slightly worried because the email I currently have attached to my account is about to be disabled since I’m changing providers. =( Please help.

I know this is a small quibble compared to some of the other things rolling around but I wanted to point this out.

I’m a Sylvari and I was doing the Battle of Claw Island story quest. I guess Trahearne had already been talking to the Watch Commander that I was going to warn (making me wonder why the heck I was needed in this case) and I walked up and chatted to him for a second about the Orr. Now, I have already greeted Trahearne in a scene, it was not optional because it happened when I spoke to my quest target that was not Trahearne.

After I spoke to the Watch Commander about the impending attack, Tybalt asked Trahearne to talk the Commander into believing us and he decided that he needed to introduce me to Trahearne, even though I already knew him.

Is this intended? I found it really weird that he felt it needed to introduce me to someone that I already knew and had spoken to right in front of him. I expected my character to say something about knowing him but she was tight lipped, leading me to believe that this wasn’t really supposed to happen?

I’m glad I’m not the only one that gets this. I thought it was just my headset since I just got a new one when the game came out and it’s a bit different than my old one. It happens when I’m tabbed out or sometimes when I’m playing. I’ve also turned my in game sounds off and it still happened. =\

It’s a popping noise most of the time but it occasionally is just a really loud noise. It’s a bit hard to describe because it’s not a full sound effect when it does the noise and not the pop, just a really loud piece of a sound effect I guess.
