Guild Wars 2

I’ve now tried this on three different computers, an Nvidia 670 based desktop, a 980M based laptop and my wife’s laptop with just onboard graphics.

On the 980M laptop, I’ve tried high settings, low settings and I’ve still crashed the last 7 attempts to get through this mission.

Looks like my thief, mesmer and elementalist are stranded at this point!

I don’t decide these kinds of things, but there is an ingame mail associated with the fix! It’s a great email too… I think all of the people with legitimate HOM achievements will really like it.

As a side note, I am sorry you guys had to wait so long. This isn’t a fix where you can bring someone in from outside of the company to fix or put multiple people on it to get it done faster.

First of all, I want to thank you for your continous efforts to resolve the issue even though you’re working kitten Heart of Thorns. My wardrobe is grateful, too Secondly, did anyone receive the ingame mail, yet? When I stumbled upon that, I was excited (as people who are well-behaved generally get rewarded too rarely in my opinion, so I’m always overjoyed, when they get the acknowledgement they deserve). So yeah, I want to thank Arena Net for that – can’t wait to see what that mail is

The only ingame mail is the one you get if you were a victim of the bug and had the achievements removed. Legitimate people don’t get a mail… you get access to HoM back and another sorry from me for your wait.

I’ve just had this in-game mail. The only thing is I legitimately had GWAMM. I’ve just checked again and my accounts are linked – 2 of my GW1 characters had achieved GWAMM.

I presume this isn’t working as intended?

I am sorry to hear that, but I unfortunately can’t diagnose your problem from here. You’ll need to contact CS so they can take a look.

Will do – thanks!

Hi,

I’ve just treated myself to a shiny new laptop with a 4k screen. Thanks to an 980m, I’m able to play GW2 at around 60fps in native resolution and I have to say the game looks completely gorgeous. Having said that, I haven’t tried a WvW zerg yet.

However, I am finding reading text to be challenging, I’ve set the interface option to “larger” but which has improved skill icons, but appears to have had no effect on the chat window.

I have two questions:

1. Is there a setting I have missed to increase the size of text in the chat window and elsewhere?

2. If not, will a future update bring options to help make the game easier to read in 4k?

Many thanks.

I’m getting the same bug.

I didn’t go through all the achievements for this episode the first time and am trying to catch up now.

Hi Chris,
I have a bit of a tangential question.

How feasible would it be for Anet to develop an editor for players to develop their own guild hall layouts? Is it beyond the scope of things you want to consider?

What you expect to be able to edit?

Hi Jon,

It strikes me than something similar to the original X-COM games base design might work.

Could you allow guilds to design their halls based on a 4×4 grid for example adding combinations of 1×1, 1×2 and 2×2 elements to their guild halls? Each element could also have various options for walls (e.g. dark wood, brick, plastered, painted etc..) and floors (wooden, marble, rugs) etc which could be selectable from a drop down on each element.

These elements could be unlockable to allow larger guilds to have something to work towards. For example an Obsidian floor might cost more in materials, influence (and/or merits) than a less grand floor.

You could also allow another upgrade option for guilds to a 5×5 design or 6×6 design which would come at a cost. Perhaps there could be no upkeep cost for a 4×4 design, an influence only cost for 5×5 and an influence and merit cost for 6×6? Would this allow use to cater guild halls to the needs of guilds of many sizes?

It makes more sense for me to choose option 1.

That way the devs can link to something being considered/developed and we the community hopefully can provide the most relevant feedback/thoughts to help with the process.

Am very pleased that CDIs are coming back even though I didn’t really contribute before – I enjoyed trying to read them (when I could keep up)

Hi,

Not sure if this belongs here or in the bugs section of the forum.

I’ve just been playing through some of the storyline with one of my characters who hasn’t completed it yet and got to the “Forging the Pact” mission.

The thing is, there’s vines going out of the fort in the instance, surely since the storyline takes place before the defeat of Zhaitan and certainly before the current events in season 2 of the Living World, the fort shouldn’t have been attacked by vines in the instance?

Am I missing something here or shouldn’t the fort still be intact?

Now that the Bone Pick exists as an account bound item, would it not make player’s lives easier for purchases of items such as this to result in the item simply being available in the “Unlocked Rewards” panel of the achievement menu?

This way players with ‘alts’ could simply spawn an account bound pick for each of their characters in the same way that you spawn a Zenith Avenger?

Otherwise, I would either have to buy 8 picks, 8 axes and 8 sickles or purchase one of each and have to constantly remember to put the things back in my bank if I want to switch character – spending a few minutes taking my character from wherever it was playing back to the bank and moving the next character to the bank. Furthermore, it would eliminate any requests to customer services from players who have accidentally destroyed their items since they could simply spawn another.

Going further, could this not be applied to other items from the gem store? e.g. Town Clothes?

Here’s a random thought to liven things up a little. Not sure if it’s possible but it could be fun.

Once a server ends up x points behind in a battle (say 200,000 or something), then people guesting to those servers are allowed to represent it in WvWvW.

That way, you could have players from more popular servers who are fed up with queues getting into WvW and having a fight, you could breathe life back into the servers who are getting pounded and provide the winning opponent a challenge for the week without really risking affecting the end result.

Perhaps even go as far as to lock the score prior to guesting opening up for the purposes of the ranking system.

And yes, I know it’s unlikely the idea would ever be feasible, but I couldn’t help smiling at the idea of players from the three tier 1 servers suddenly working together and giving the winning tier 9 server a challenge for a couple of days.
