Perty much got the same thing with Opera, although was able to bypass the issue.

Am I the only one with these issues? These two locations are the last to acquire the home node. Reported the issue last week with a support ticket, nary a reply to the ticket.

Have tried guesting to other servers, trying various characters, and the achievement tracker shows these 2 locations as needing to be visited and is stuck at 95%.
Can’t pick up what I cannot see.

Went back through most of the locations of all the other masks for like 2 hours and did not find anything that perhaps the achievement tracker may be reporting incorrectly.
Will have to go over the few I guess when I get time – working 2 jobs to make ends meet.

Same goes for the Arrowhead Vale: Overlooking the northern entrance to Tarir. No mask here either. Was able to go up another part of the tree truck, a tad higher, for a chest.

Cannot complete this achievement because the masks are not here, and are the only two remaining to complete it. /grr

Using Dulfy’s video and photo, am at the location listed for “Tarnished Treetop: Look on the southern-canopy tree branches for this mask.”

Glide down from the waypoint, it is on rock in the middle of the canopy.

Well, am standing there and there is no mask. Chose an alt even, no mask on her either. Checking achievements says I don’t have it. So what gives? Did the developers move the mask, or is in under the ground?

Have searched aro0und and only found a priory body nearby near the bad frogs.

Have noticed with the new makeovers there are hair colors, eye colors, hairdos, new faces, yet … no new tattoos!

Humans probably wished they had tattoos, but the Norn do and there’s not been any new ones in the game yet – ever.

Had two character slots open, and was looking for something to fill in a slot. Noticed the https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/mesmer/ photo and so decided to try a Norn Mesmer. And guess what? She’s got a Norn Tattoo that is NOT in the tattoo listing.

So make the character, grabbed a Total Makover Kit, and guess what? No new Norn tattoos were found … not even in exotic tattoo colors! So am wondering, have the developers fallen asleep on giving the Norn some luv??

The artists sure have creative qualities, yet the game is lacking in those creative qualities to be applied to out characters.

So, umm, newer Norn Tattoos please, with a side of exotic coloration like about everything else has too. Thanks.

Wonder why the developers have not added any new Norn tattoos to the makeovers? I like the design of this one for what can be seen of it.

The Mesmer on the Professions page looks Human, but the leg markings are of the Norn trait. Have two character slots available, so decided to try an make a similar model in Norn. That is when I noticed there are no Norn Tattoos that are anything like that on the on the Mesmer.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/mesmer/

So what’s the next best thing to get a near similar look? And yes, I will freely admit it, female characters look way better than the males – unless they are Asura or Charr.

Guess the forum supports pictures now? Shows how much I post here. /grin

Norn (Tier 3, Heavy Armor) Stag Mail & Feathered Hair on Female Norn

The feathered collar on the armor sticks through the Norn’s hair. Looks awkward the way it sticks out in the back of the head. Put a Recruit’s Pack backpack to hide that without the rest of the model looking gaudy.

Is odd how Celestial dye appears on characters since 8/23’s patch…

Could your designers please create a Kodan outfit for our characters who may feel more Kodan-like in nature, like our Norn types. A nice hood to cover our heads in classic Kodan style, enough to make one almost suspect that tall Kodan over there is a Mystic Kodan Warrior and not a Norn who just happens to embrace the Kodan style of things.

Am seeing a lot of players from WoW coming over and doing similar to what they were doing there. AFK botting, even if they are not moving their pets are. See a lot of Necromancers and Guardian duos lately, in dredge areas is more common.

It’s sad when you see a player with a Legendary weapon resorting to this to PL their free account characters. Anet would be better off selling Insta-80 tokens or something if they not going to ban the botters.

Could one of those bored graphics developers please create a Boomerang skin for use on an Axe? Would totally be bonza!

Won’t go asking for a Kangaroo pet for Rangers, but wouldn’t pass up the idea.

Do wish Paragon’s aka Amazon Warrior were in GW2 similar to what was in GW1. Dervish, meh. Paragon’s were lots more fun at chucking spears!

Have done wasted (2) Teleport to Friend stones in trying to get to Tangled Depths cause of a full map.

When joining a group one can use the Teleport to Friend to warp to their map. They was about to enter Dragon’s Stand where one of my characters was having an issue getting there, but their map was not so unknowingly full.

Clicking on the teleport to friend and the item got used before there was a map check.
So I decided to try and join a Dragon’s Stand group that was taxi’ing in players, and again the Teleport to Friend item got used before the game performed a map check.

Got no where but losing two teleport to friend items. Only have 1 remaining…

Gliding Bug of Death!

Have been noticing an unusual gliding bug in HoT. Happened more on my Asura that other characters, but happened to one of the more normal sized characters the other night too.

Am gliding along, perhaps sliding along terrain or walls/cliffs near the edge of a zone to bypass them wretched pocket raptors… then the gliding controls no longer work. No hover or speed up, directional only. That’s when I know the ‘gliding death bug’ awaits! Every time this happens my character dies the very moment of landing.

Seen this happen a few more times when flying over vined pathways, and am guessing this is the game’s way of retaliation for flying over a blocked pathway – or is it a terrain issue?

So was in an overflow for the Marionette. We just got the 5/5 part done, and what happens?? The client inconveniently decided to send me to character select.
Log back in, and sent to the main server – not the overflow I was on.
So everything a character does get erased, and we log back in disgruntled.

So… Why can’t the game track your character’s progress during event, then offer rewards when logging back in?

Also, why not also log the character back into the server/overflow they was in before the client decided to not play nice?

Surely a temporary game-encrypted log can be run during events. Then get the player logged back to their previous overflow, and/or offer any rewards that are due.

tried posting into suggestions but it refuses to allow replies or new posts…

Have previously crafted with the ‘Celestial Intricate Gossamer Insignia’ for Coat and Boots. The components required are the two crafting pieces and the insignia.

Today had crafted another Celestial Intricate Gossamer Insignia and noticed there is no longer a level designation for this – where the other insignias are showing a level 400 requirement.
The insignia in topic is not showing any level – when it should show level 400.

Thanks for implementing it. Would of been great to had one opened up as a reward.

Have 17 characters (64 is maximum btw), 14 are able to harvest nodes in the Frostgorge Sound area. One of my characters is having a problem with nodes not resetting for her.

The other 13 alts are not having this issue. Has been the 3rd day now.

Is there any way I can fix this, or do I have to use the support system?

Have noticed that there has been an ever growing amount of Champion Farmers in many areas where there dragon/world-boss events that occur in the same map.

Take for instance Frostfang Sea. When the Claw of Jormag event spawns if you are not already in the map chances are if your connection is not super fast your character will get put into overflow due to the amount of Champion Farmers on the map previously.
This is unfair to those that want to participate in the dragon event.

Have further observed that most Champion Farmer groups won’t even help out on the Claw of Jormag fight, instead continue onward with their farming rounds. Since these types of Champion Farmers are taking up so much player space one would think that Arent.net would of made some provisions. Expanding the map player capacity might help.

Other suggestions would be:
• While the Claw of Jormag event occurs, all champion mobs despawn.
• Should ‘Claw of Jormag’ not be defeated within its allotted time-frame all champion NPCs would no long spawn until the next ‘Claw of Jormag’ event has been successfully completed.
- This would ensure that either the Champion Farmers would have to participate and not go AFK, further taking up space that could be given to event players. If those Champion Farmers did not help out on the event they would be reprimanded for their lack of support.

Harsh maybe, but the issue continues to grow on highly populated servers. Would suggest at least the champion NPCs despawn during all map dragon/world boss spawns world-wide.

About the only exception would be Tequatl, since some servers will only try the fight after server reset – one time. Blackgate seems to be an exceptional server, other servers will try it one time after reset only.
Makes one wish Tequatl would scale to the amount of players participating, as the event would be impossible with 25 players anymore.

With the Jack in the Box sickle and Bone Pick, will there be a Bone Saw axe to be debuting the Black Lion Trading Post soon too??

Oh yes, did plenty of damage to the Wurm.

Like the new bleeding and condition damage icons that were added, but this is more of a reassurance thing what the conditions are doing to what or how many.

Edit: Thanks, did not notice the 3 Essence of Luck transformation down rear the bottom of the Refinement listings (just above Green Wood).

Would like to have the option to Buy in quantities like Everquest 2 has, and/or filling the stack with available coin on hand.

Guild Wars 2 would excel in the Purchasing & Selling by number/coin rather than click buy 1, click by another, repeat 250 times. /pulls remaining grey hair out

There’s a trial of EQ2 if the developers would care to take a look-see into EQ2’s method of buying.

Still no change, firing graphic comes from the grip and not the barrel end.

Would also like to have the option to Gem or Bonus Pack purchase additional classes from the original Guild Wars: i.e. Paragon

Watched the developer video and it shows turrets target what the engineer is targeting.

Am assuming this did not make it into the game as took my main engineer to The Great Wurm, standing near the world boss; turrets were auto-targeting husks that were further away than my Norn Engineer character.

Was so looking forward to this update for that one option. Though auto-targeting is good more more junk loot drops, it still defeats the concentrated damage on the intended target.

On that same note, how about a buying in quantity option, similar to Everquest2 has. is a pain the the finger to click 1 by 1 just to fill up a stack of Seed Turrets or such.

That whole single-purchase thing needs a UI upgrade already.

Please add an options to Use All on the Essences of Luck.

Had to salvage a mess of then Gobs of Ectoplasm for the dust, and get [250 Essence of Luck][119 Essence of Luck][25 Essence of Luck][71 Essence of Luck].
Gawd, I don’t want to wear out the mouse button clicking those one by one! let along sit there ans get a numb finger doing it.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to perhaps use a keyboard key, and just ‘press down to use one after another’ until the button is released at least?!?

Levvi’s Detector’s muzzle flash animation is going off under the rifle, and from the handgrip area.

Was hoping for a better firing animation more in theme with the rest of the unusual rifle decoration. Still… is different for the Lady Charr Engineer character.

How about selling Collection Upgrades via the Black Lion Trading Post. Each tier can hold 250 more items per upgrade, say up to 2500 items.
That would give 10 tiers, and increase more revenue for the game. Could sell upgrades at 250 gems per tier.

250 items per Collection fills up too fast, especially with the Tier 7 materials.

To annoy us players, keep the stacks at 250, or increase to 500 if the Tyria gods have pity.

Why does the post change Sun-less to Sun-kitten??

On my Charrdian, two different times in the past week, she has helped kill Tequatl the Sunkitten
th (2) times she has done lots of damage, yet when the dragon dies there is no chest on the beach.

NOT talking about the one time (per day) special dragon loot chest. Talking about the regular boss chest.

I rotate characters from time to time to kill bosses, and each one can get the normal boss chest once a day, but this Charrdian has not gotten one chest from Tequatl in a month.
Do not normally play her, although I do have 11 alts.

Not sure what the bug is. Not frequently played characters don’t get normal boss chest loot ever?

Edit: This posting is bugged, changing words around and removing “b o” from B*o*t*h t*i*m*e*s

Yesterday my ranger did not get a chest from Claw of Jormag, but I did get a chest later in the eventing on a Charr engy.

Today I got on a half hour after daily reset, was on my Norn engy. Got gold reward yet no chests.

This game is getting worse. Running the “Gw2.exe” -repair option now to see if maybe that will fix it, cause it seems random characters are not getting any loot whereas other alts are.
I only have 11 characters on my account. Should ask a friend who has 16 characters if she’s having any issues with boss chests.

Today, after reset, got on at 6:30 PM server time. Grabbed ab 80 Engineer. Helped kill the Golem MKII. Got gold reward, and no chest – not even the bonus chest.
15 daily kills, 1 interrupt, no chests on this one event.

This game is losing it. Sure, I admit the Golem MK2 was down 20% of its health when I logged in. My character used turrets, rifle, yet never died or went down. Why no chests??

After having this happen for over 5 months, have determined that if my character is near the dragon when it dies the chest completely vanishes.

Earlier tonight had killed the Claw of Jormag on Mesmer, got both the boss chest & the bonus chest. Bonus chest is not the issue here. (Some people have a hard time recognizing that.)

Got back home a bit ago, logged onto my Ranger, and was there participating & killing during the pre-event/ice wall, shot the dragon bunches of times, then on phase two had stuck many arrows into it and the ice pillars – and a few random mobs.

Claw of Jormag’s ice barrier dropped. Many of us when in for the kill and I swapped to twin axes. Chopped up dragon. got a Gold reward. That was it. No boss chest.

Relogged, no dragon chest. relogged, cleared the NIC cache, came back, still no dragon boss chest. So unless dragon chests are one per account this bug still continues.
Also appears to be a proximity issue, as if I would if stayed back using a longbow would of probably gotten the boss chest.

This game, patch wise, reminds me of Everquest 1 when the Planes were opened. More bugs than fixes.

Normal turrets don’t heal since the patch, only the ones in the Supply Crate do.

According to my spreadsheet, as I have 11 characters to select from so need to keep track, 71 engy & 53 thief killed the Great Jungle Wurm.
Logged in a bit ago on my 80 Elecharr, got various reqards for pre-events, no reward on the actual wurm, but did get a boss chest. /boggle

Have to enjoy these odd game bugs. Daily should be resetting in the next 10 minutes.

Shatterer: Killed with a 70 Engy & 56 Thief, both got the normal boss chests, only one got the bonus chest. Logged to an 80 Ranger, got gold reward – but no chest. Relogged, no change.

Tequatl: 70 Engy helped kill Tequatl, got normal boss chest & bonus chest. Logged an 80 Necro another time, got the chest. Later switched to another 80 alt, Charrdian. Gold reward, no chest. Waited, no change. Relogged, no change.

Frozen Maw is not affected.
Shadow Behemoth has been MIA all week on Jade Quarry.

Claw of Jormag spawns so slow am lucky to get two kills a night. Did get three in tonight. 70 Engy got no reward or loot, yet the day before when she was 63 got the normal boss chest. 80 Ranger & 80 Mesmer both got their normal boss chests, Ranger got the bonus chest.

So I ran my non-80 alternate characters through the usual dragon bosses; The Shatterer, Tequatl, Claw of Jormag. There were only two that were able to do these dragons.

When I switched over to my 80 alts, they got the gold rewards – yet no dragon boss chests.
Not talking about the bonus chests, but the normal chests.

Seems now can only get 2 normal chests per boss per account now. Is this a bug or an undisclosed nerf??

Used to be able to chest a chest from the boss no matter how many alts killed them, although now the spawn times are much longer and I rarely have the time to kill each boss more than twice in a day.

Oh, and the daily does not reset this issue, so am susupecting it is a new bug.

For the Jungle Wurm event, in Wychmire Swamp, can your developers please put a damage shield on the wurm. So when it emerges from the ground it will reflect all damage being done to it back onto its attackers, till it becomes at its mature state. Then buff its health points so those with their AoE and 2handed attacks don’t kill it within mere seconds.

That would put it more in line with a tougher mob and players that want to ruin the event for others (regardless of level) will meet with surprise. Teach a few of those AFK bots a lesson to pay attention as well.

If the Big Boss Chests was changed to ‘one chest per boss, per day, per character’ that would be far more acceptable.

This would generate interest for players to create more characters. 800 gems per character, that’s $10 US Gem Store.

Not sure what the character slot limit is in Guild Wars 2, have 11 at the present time. Thought about adding the Sylvari back again… to have something different.
Also wished we could create and save character templates. Annoying to get to near creation only to be disconnected, or if you want to change that character’s class and would want to save its current customization -without- going through it again.

Read that after you mentioned it. Arena Net must have some odd hours as haven’t killed either dragon today till those two times, and neither gave a chest.

This is a rather stupid change. Now players won’t want to show up if they get no rewards for it. Good way to kill an enjoyable part of the game.
Not everyone enjoys PvP/WvW or trying to find story only groups for dungeons. About everyone and their pet Asuran just wants to farm. Good luck finding a Story group, least on jade Quarry. Especially late at night.

Thanks for the reply, Randulf. Much appreciated.

Still no fix. Worked fine the first few weeks of GW2. Buggy ever since.

Have been playing GW2 since release, have killed lots of dragons from various levels on my 11 characters. Only a few times has the game not given a chest drop for my characters, ever, until tonight.

Right after this fast patch that gave us a 1 hour warning and it came in within 15 minutes. Patched, came back, and noticed that in Hoebrek NPC’s torsos would vanish at various angles, if they wore dark blue clothing. Only mentioning that if there is a connection.

Shortly after the patch my ranger was called to Claw of Jormag fight by friends. Helped put down the walls twice, (yes, white damage numbers seen the whole time). CoJ went over to the second phase where I helped to take the dragon down. Only was taken down twice due to latency issues and not being able to drop a healing well.
My daily had finished and accepted the rewards right as the chest would normally spawn. Received the Gold completion reward. But… there was no chest. Could see players around the area linking their loot, but I could not see a chest.
Went up there, still no chest or Search icon.

Logged out. Did a repair run “Z:\Games\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe -repair”. Logged back in and was greeting with menacing ice wurms, yet no chest.

Later in the evening had reset the router, did a complete computer shut down, restarted, and ran the repair once again.

Logged back in, and shortly The Shatterer has spawned. Switched over to my mesmer. Latency was higher than usual, especially for this time of the night, but I was doing damage and seen white damage numbers.
Gold the gold reward completion, but yet again NO CHEST. Twice in the same night! That has NEVER happened before.

So what in tarnation is going on here?

This one IP almost always has the highest latency, more so when players keep getting booted to character selection or disconnected from the game.

Been having this and a few other disconnections lately, and tonight was by far the worst in a long time. Tracing the route kept showing +700 to over 1000 on the game’s server hops.

Had been disconnected with the usual error codes. Have reset the router several times. Flushed the DHCP and renewed, even flushed the DNS cache on my wireless NIC (5.5 Mbps). No one has the ability for a wired connection on this network.

[IP_Flush.bat]
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew

Had been using OpenDNS servers:
DNS 1: 208.67.222.222
DNS 2: 208.67.220.220

And only recently decided to try Google’s DNS servers:
DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
DNS 2: 8.8.4.4

Just changed the DNS server IPs just before posting this. Due to the nature of the routers here, static IPs are not an option. As such Port Forwarding is not going to happen.

Ran the diagnostic. Hopefully the DNS server change will help. If not am at the mercy of the internet connections.

Tried the CPU unparking idea from a post in another forum and GPU temperatures did drop to 52° and a few degrees lower.

“How to change Core Parking states in Windows
http://www.ghacks.net/2012/07/15/how-to-change-core-parking-states-in-windows/”

Background blurring seems to help too. A usual Claw of Jormag fight is 6 FPS, actually was at 13 fps this time.

Had a few BSoD for about 3 days, bad. Ended up reverting the Nvidia drivers to 306.97 which seemed to help. Well, up until today’s small patch.

Have seen the video card GPU average between 41° C and 54° C. Today it is at 56° to 58° C – which will BSoD in the higher temperatures.
Was running fine last night up till 4AM at 41° C, now at 57° C. Don’t know what would cause such a dramatic change. Also running everything on low or off except Render Sampling which is Native. Did have LOD Distance at Medium, now it is at Low. Also run windowed mode.

Everquest II, as a comparison, never had any graphics issues for over 6 years.

Any chance in allowing players to get more victory tokens? Maybe as a maximum count of 5?

There are those that use 2 sets of weapons, and many of those are one-handed.

Thank you for making this special instance to get the weapons.

Almost thought the other merchant, Izu Steelshrike (Tengu), had different versions of the weapons – as I prefer Precision, Power, and Critical Chance.
Luckily he had the exact same weapons & design as Pact Requisitioner Hargrove.

However the only way out is mapping out. Approaching the door does nothing, and there is no door guard to let players out either.

Have experienced this on two different characters of varied levels.
