Guild Wars 2

This happened to me too, and I got disconnected to the character select screen shortly after I and a few other players completed this event: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fill_the_Itzel_villagers'_food_baskets_with_insect_larvae

I wasn’t in the map very long prior to the disconnect, but when I returned to the map I noticed the crowbars and some materials I gathered were gone and I was reset back to when I first entered the map prior to doing the events and gathering.

Thanks, PvP team. This is great news. I have the Capricorn ones and am 7 wins away from finishing off the Coliseum ones, but time has been limited for me the past few months, so this works out.

Aenia Shadowforce.9148:

1. Split PvP, PvP, WvW and Festival dailies into categories (in similar fashion to Bloodstone Fen and Ember Bay), add there daily Fractals aswell

I like this one. I don’t really have any suggestions for improvement myself.

I am glad that it didnt come back, being exclusive to being there at Halloween 2012 is what makes it special.

LMAO

Perfect.

Leave it or make another skin with the bugged version (add the old sound it had too).

Yeah, I dislike the gating too. +1

+1

The male warrior variant is so hilarious looking. I still laugh seeing players run around with it and the chaos gloves on in GW1.

Yes, PLEASE!

Ardenwolfe.8590:

All these threads about the new bow. What? No love for that staff?

The staff is pretty cool and I hope the other Envoy weapons make it in.

Yeah, I agree. After seeing the Storm Bow in action today, they really need to give Kudzu some love.

Any plans for this?

Malediktus.9250:

They should remove daily AP completly. It was a big mistake to attach AP to them.

And you should see collecting AP as an Iron Man and not a 100m race. It will take time and dedication to reach 30k. 5000 hours since release sounds about right for 30k, 32k+ will take you another 5k hours

I agree.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Just look here and see how many charr are upright compared to those that aren’t

Really wish they made an everlasting tonic of Rox Ashreign that could be used in explorable areas in GW1. I love that model.

Mo Mo.1947:

Charr Blade Storms and Axe Fiends didn’t stand upright, they hunched, maybe more-so than charr of GW2.

I didn’t claim they stood upright; read again.

Dark Jericho.8609:

I’m with Hamfast on this. Make options for the upright Charr, that way my Charr warrior can still stay similar in posture to the Charr Blade Storms and Axe Fiends from GW1.

1. How do you feel overall about reward tracks?

I love it.

2. What are your thoughts on the rate at which you gain participation?

It’s fair.

3. How do you feel about the rate you earn reward track points?

This needs to be adjusted as it feels REALLY slow at its current rate.

4. Overall, what are your impressions about the types of reward tracks we have?

It’s fine to me. I haven’t looked at all the tracks but if there aren’t some already, some exclusive WvW reward tracks would be great.

Edit: Yep, there’s one in there as morrolan.9608 pointed out. More tracks like this would be awesome.

5. Are there any other reward tracks you would really like to see?

Fractals of the Mists reward track, though this would probably anger a lot of players. Maybe it could reward just the non-gold weapon skins and only the exotic fractal capacitor backpieces; just some suggestions.

Same thing happened to me. I just posted it in the really long thread of HoT bugs. I hope they fix this soon.

Could not jump and glide into the air in "Hearts and Minds" mission during the Modremoth boss phase. When I reset the fight after dying, a portion of the ground was missing so I could not activate a rift to defeat the evil Rytlock and continue on to next phase.

I’d rather they just remove MF other than it being an active buff to players who participate in events in maps like the one you get in The Silverwastes, but would degrade over a period of time based on how long you’re AFK or playing long enough that diminishing returns kicks in.

Or just have luck essences stop dropping to people who are capped and all the recipes that require essence of luck can be altered to require another abundant material.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I don’t know how much the cap was instituted for new players to catch up, rather than all the lamenting by ‘veteran’ players about having to complete every single Daily task to keep their place on the leaderboards, or fulfilling their ‘OCD’-type tendencies to finish them all.

It’s unfortunate a cap was put in place for everyone else.

I think it was both reasons you stated that there was finally a cap put on it, and also that every other game (that I have played anyway) with achievements have a hard cap. Those games as far as I know also don’t have milestone achievement reward chests either however, so I’d say Anet could either lower the extreme requirements for some of the skins/titles people are working toward, or pump out more content with achievement points.

Even still, there are a bunch of points from season 1 living story and the WvW tournies that are not achieveable, so I can see why players not in favor of the daily cap would be mad about the “new users not being able to catch up” reasoning.

I personally don’t mind the cap, though I barely hit the 21k milestone recently and I’m a head-start player, while I know others who started months after myself that have thousands more from doing way more dailies than I ever did.

I enjoy this game and I’ll continue playing even long after I ever hit the cap.

PopeUrban.2578:

The raid, given its position, will likely be a bloodstone related side plot, in the vein of mallyx’s relationship to Abbaddon. A final powerful minion that if not stopped would become as big a threat as the dragon, but a self contained story that can be easily ignored by the rest of the world.

Hoping it turns out like this.

Atharian.7092:

I will not be thrilled if the story ends up being a part of a raid or something. Why? Sometimes I like to read dialogue, watch the cutscenes, etc. I’d like to do that the first time at least. In raids or dungeons though, its rush rush rush, skip skip skip.

Yeah, that’s my biggest gripe with dungeons and why I wish all the story modes of the dungeons would be solo-able, while the explorable paths stay as they are with (usually) requiring a full 5-man team.

Kirschsahne.2081:

GW 1 is far superior to GW2.
GW2 is taking steps into the right direction but they set the bar with GW1 so incredible high that they still need some time to get back to former glory.

That said GW2 is not a bad game at all it’s just the quality of GW1 that makes it better.

Agreed. GW1 was way ahead of its time IMO. I didn’t start playing it until after I installed and played GW2 during its release and wish I had started it years sooner. Be warned though your characters can’t jump in GW1. That seems to be a deal breaker for a lot of people for some reason lol.

These achievements don’t seem too time-consuming when I read through them. I’ll probably try to get some of them later while playing my Dragonhunter and see if they will transfer over to my main achievements when BWE2 is over. Probably not but I was planning to try out some of the new zone anyway.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

Even if the event lasts two weeks, not everyone who plays regularly is going to be available.

We just need to get used to the idea that unless one plays every day, each of us is going to miss out on something. I really don’t want ANet to do fewer “events” just to accommodate our real lives. (On the contrary, I’d prefer to see them do more, even though I wouldn’t be able to attend them all.)

There doesn’t have to be fewer events, they can just repeat them more often and still introduce new ‘phases.’ These events seem like the karka invasion all over again but at least this time ArenaNet seems to have learned a little from past mistakes and had the courtesy of giving exact times when the events commence, rather than last time where we had to get info from unofficial channels like obscure tweets from a random developer or a post on reddit.

Also this time the servers probably won’t give us 5-20 second skill activation delays and mass disconnects like the karka invasion, which also happened to coincide with a free-to-play weekend.

Though really, pre-expansion limited time events seem to be common in MMOs from my experience, so I’m not really surprised ArenaNet decided to keep the tradition going; I was definitely expecting something like this.

Seems to be back up now.

I’ve seen a player with a personal guild name with a reference to a religious figure giving favor to a country they support or live in running around a couple of times this year. It’s such an obnoxious phrase to be honest but I wanted to do something else in-game rather than use up my time to report something that would likely get ‘no-actioned’ in a similar fashion to how your ticket was replied to.

I agree though that names like that can definitely be immersion-breaking.

i wish they’d design and sell new animations on the gem store but that might not work well with their design philosophy on wanting players to be able to see telegraphs from enemy players and react accordingly

i dislike a lot of the attack animations in general and want some variety to choose from

I still have mine in the bank. After “earning” them I couldn’t really find a look on any of my characters that would go with the wings and just tossed them in bank and forgot I had them until I read this topic. They really should add it and the Tequatl wings to the laurel vendor along with anything else that’s still missing from the season 1 meta achievements.

I always thought limited one time event rewards were stupid and glad it’s not happening as much in game now (if at all). Maybe when they finally get season 1 in to story journal format that could be another way to get them.

azizul.8469:

pet AI in this game is useless. you don’t want heroes/henchmen. trust me.

Sadly this. As much as I enjoy H/H in GW1, there’s nothing in GW2 that’s shown me that it’d work out pleasantly which is a real shame.

Thanks for the fix. I’m having fun running around leveling my warrior with the fiery dragon sword/ stygian axe and mountaincall warhorn.

Nivessa.4258:

They don’t care, they’ll just keep taking away from our chars til just they just stand there with no effects and no animations and making no sounds (see them removing falling screams from all characters).

Sadly, this seems to be the case. Their reasoning for removing falling screams made them seem very inept or just flat out lazy.

i still care…..i want my stygian reaver

That is one of the nicest skins from HoM.

Bump for a response from ANET; this wait is beyond any justification.

I was at 26/50 when this bug surfaced a few months ago, and since then have slowly made it to 29/50, so I too am just dying to have that axe skin. I’ll just keep being patient and progress more with the HoM in GW1, but I’m still worried how this fix didn’t make it into the latest patch. Starting to seem like this probably won’t get fixed until HoT’s release, if that…

It didn’t make it in because it wasn’t done. They have had to make a tool to edit accounts for something they never meant to be edited. They have to make sure they don’t break anyone’s account, because that would be even worse.

And to a prior, there is a point where no matter how many times something is complained about, it won’t make a difference to the outcome. If they rush it, it WOULD break things. Even taking every precaution it would still be risky. So they are testing it on backup copies of accounts to make sure nothing at all breaks. We were told that ~2 weeks ago. We’ve been told repeatedly that it’s being worked on, that it’s almost done, but anyone wanting the skins should prefer it work properly even if it takes another 3 months, than a risk of it breaking even 1 persons account. Should much rather prefer they take extra time to fully test it even if it delays the release longer.

Calm down.

Radnar.9814:

But this has taken so long its obvious its not something they’ve got lots of people actively working on, either it IS on the backburner or they’ve just left one guy to try sort it all out.

Pretty much what I figured from this post almost a month ago in the original topic from the bugs forum; not sure if a lot of posters in this thread has seen it so I’ll post it here:

Lauren Kamieniecki.6245:

Hey guys!

No release date yet, but it looks REALLY promising right now. Not for next release though, I don’t want to get your hopes up and dash them on tuesday.

FWIW the programmer doing the fix is extremely meticulous and wants this to be 10000% right when it goes out. It is not an easy fix and it has been being worked on since it broke.

If we can all be patient just a little bit longer then we will have more Gods Walking Amongs Mere Morals in the future… but sadly one of them won’t be me.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Instant-God-Walking-Amongst-Mere-Mortals/page/12#post5237935

When this bug hit I was 26/50 and now 32/50 and slowly rising while playing and enjoying GW1 during this downtime of new GW2 content. I really want to use the axe skin and black widow spider when this all gets fixed.

Behellagh.1468:

Would you rather have your money going to new content or an overhaul of the game engine?

The latter, personally. I’ve been playing this game almost everyday since head start and I can always find something to do in the game even with long “content droughts” as other players like to call it. I’m probably in the minority with this opinion, though. Meh.

No questions, just whoa. O_O

I think I read on reddit that a dev said yes you will be able to change stats on all ascended weps and armor (except the assessories I think), crafted or not, but you will need to use a transmutation charge and buy the sigil again or something.

edit: found the posts http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3afc2o/tequatl_hoard_and_ascended_stat_change_update/

Yeah I don’t like it either but I assume they make them that way to minimize clipping when running or something (clipping has never bothered me much though).

:(

I only do the daily activity participation if there aren’t any quick WvW dailies that I can do in in EotM. I’m pretty burned out on Crab Toss and Sanctum Sprint but I still enjoy Southsun Survival. I wish Keg Brawl would show up more often instead of CT or Sprint, and I would also like to see Aspect Arena be included in the rotation.

Donari.5237:

legendary sized rear

haha

Scalable dungeons and fractals would be cool.

Makes buying corncobs for the 20 slot bags cheaper. I approve.

Sube Dai.8496:

Come on man, this is keeping the price of 20 slot bags down…

Be quiet!

LOL, my thoughts exactly when reading this thread.

Logos.1306:

lets not forget about the most annoying sound it the game

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Toxic_Hybrid

I vote for mini mute option that mute all mini other they yours.

This Toxic Hybrid alone make me run away from every TP or Bank and turn off sound when doing world boss.

Please Anet make something with it.

Yeah, this and Mini Ho-Ho-Tron are the only ones that bother me enough that I mute my sound when a player is nearby with them.

Would really like to have this armor and an option to toggle off chest armor at least so I can have my Charr warrior look like this. Primitive Charr look best IMO. Also in agreement with others that the Charr animations from GW1 are really awesome.

I like the name.

Pifil.5193:

I must have missed all that “awesome voice acting” somehow and selected the “out of place screaming for no reason” option.

Looks like someone plays Norn exclusively.

Zaklex.6308:

The response provides a reasonable and common sense answer.

I disagree, and it’s a waste of some awesome voice acting too.

Cody Crichton.7516:

Hey Tiny Doom, thanks for bringing this up.

With the inclusion of on-demand gliding as a game mechanic alongside the diving goggles mechanic and given the fact that there are quite a few other ways in which the player can fall, knowing well that they will survive or take no damage, these falling gutturals were removed from all characters as they make no sense and serve only to make your character sound weak-willed at best. We doubt they’ll be making a return ever.

There’s no way to just disable the screams for the Maguuma Jungle zones where gliding is used? I always get a laugh from any of my characters when they fall unexpectedly, like for example in Edge of the Mists when I sometimes forget to watch my paths and end up falling to my death from a well placed hole in the ground.

Please reconsider.

I got mine as a drop from one of the dusts or devours that attack Haze during his escort event in Dry Top just an hour ago. Most of this week I was trying to get the portal in The Silverwastes but got burned out on that zone and wanted to finish collecting the recipes for the amber weapons from DT.
