Guild Wars 2

My only complaint is that they are way too big for shoulders, can we maybe get the default size that we see on the original outfit?

They’re too big on the asura model currently, but the ones I get from the outfit are perfect.

It’s a nice idea OP, but I would rather just have a favorites icon or gold trim on the character portrait for my main and alts that I mostly play. This way I can just simply filter out my favorite alts that I use to play the game from my other alts that I use for whatever.

A simple favorite(ing) system is needed for accounts that do have +10 characters on their accounts and I would like to see implemented as a new change to the character select UI as a feature update to the game. Any additional updates to the UI is always welcome of course.

Oh man I missed it. Did we have naked ppl running around?

The bare truth is that we had an art issue but we quickly got to the bottom of the matter and it’s now well behind us.

Ayyyy… I see what you did there.

My character blinks, looks around and actually moves his face during idle animations. So far seen on my asura. These small things give the character a bit of life, thanks for this.

Maybe an option like putting a star icon for favorite alts and making a “favorite” list with starred character alts. Quality of life sure, but I’d like a total rehaul of the login screen and character select screen, I want to see all of my alts standing on pedestals in the background and making it look awesome.

Malediktus.9250:

Why? You get plenty of Chak Eggs for doing the meta

I think so far you all have this thread completely backwards. OP is simply suggesting a way for you to trade chak eggs for ley crystals. It’s not a bad idea, I guess, more ley crystals = more chak acid for loot? Better than just holding on to them forever.

This just happened to me trying to glide down and get my reward in AB, I died in the process. After waypointing back as to avoid being embarrassed that I didn’t deploy my glider in time, I noticed that I couldn’t jump/glide anymore and the only way to fix it was to relog my game. However, because I have to relog, I can’t get my rewards in AB because I have to drop down to my death more or less. Please fix, this is the first time this has happened to me ever since yesterdays patch.

No it’s not a sticky/broken/unplugged space bar, it’s fully functional because I can still use the spacebar to type ingame but not jump/glide. Spacebar seems to be mapped to something else involving the map, I don’t know.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146:

But it would be cool to see my toons standing side by side like a team of kitten super heroes.

This. Please make that happen anet. Have it where like you log in and you see empty rocks or pillars where alts can be standing on and when you purchase more character slots it displays more alts on your account standing on said pillars/rocks in the background. Sell your character select screen to look AMAZING, and pair it up with a character slot sale and you will make lots of money.

*Edited for clarity

I would really like to know if new shatterer will be a structure based enemy because I’m running into a problem with my Dragonhunter traps. The traps do not trigger on structures such as Dragonstand’s Mordremoth fight (who btw spoilers… it’s a DRAGON) and my Procession and ToF traps don’t work or get triggered.

Can we please maybe update the traps to where they can become triggered on structures at the very least in PvE or can be detonated on command? Thanks

I can see a down side to this whole consolidating thing, especially to people who level characters from crafting. This would’ve been a solution for key farming about a year ago lol.

It’s a nice little QoL thing that I wouldn’t mind being added, especially unlocking all those recipes scattered around the game, at least now I’ll know I’ve unlocked the recipes account wide.

I believe people would want to race change because it would be most convenient to race change and keep everything you’ve unlocked remain unlocked on that particular character e.g. crafting professions, recipes, soul bound equip etc.

A more viable solution would be just to make all crafting professions, recipes, soul bound equip etc. account unlocked. I would totally buy all crafting licenses if this was possible as investing too much on one character would be too much.

tl;dr I have a main character all crafting licenses unlocked and crafting professions mastered, but I made a very cool sylvari character and want him to be my new main… oh man I have to master all crafting professions again… I died a lil inside.

Thanks ANet! Didn’t expect the ban hammer to happen this fast. A nice belated Wintersday gift to the community.

I have been told of a certain sea snake which has a very unusual method of attracting its prey.

Yay my original post has a tag on it and I don’t post often or at all, but I’m glad I did and I’m glad Arenanet and the whole community was on top of it. Charrbeque you are my hero, well done.

I’m so glad all of my reports were heard, it’s hard work earning 18 points on the JP legit and some botters were at average earning 17 points, that was frustrating.

Endless Soul.5178:

I’m hoping to see some public executions at Divinity’s Reach as well.

Bring back Dhuum, I’d love to see him slice a bot in half and permanently kill it in public instead. Today, that bot featured on the OP scored 17 points in one run, by most accounts that’s a flawless run and it was repeating it for the 4 games I was on.

The bots are real, I’ve reported 5 in one game. Buddy of mine is streaming this atm, they always take the snowman lane.

Sad thing is, they might be playing on f2p accounts

Charrbeque.8729:

Sandpit.3467:

They camp the instance because the JP is bugged and hard to get into. Yes they are using auto-run, and the angle is the default respawn angle after you reset following completion. These players have completed it, respawned, pressed auto-run and then gone to the bathroom/whatever

As for OP saying he sees them teleport to the end for reward, sounds more like sever lag updating where players really are; if it is genuine then that isn;t a bot, it’s an exploit but given how these things go, if there were an exploit then everyone would be dong this by now.

I never once said anything about teleporting to the end for the reward. That was the other thread by somebody else https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Bots-invade-Winter-Wonderland-JP

Obviously the ridiculous requirement for 10k drinks and the annoying bug making it hard to get into the JP is driving us crazy and some players are doing certain things just to stay in the puzzle, and apparently cheat at it, just for a friggen shoulder skin. I do want the skin and hope I can get it before the event is over so I don’t have to buy the drinks. But I’m not going to resort to weird tactics/cheats to get it.

Hey, that’s my thread lol. Anyway, yeah those afkers aren’t cheating they simply just auto run off the ledge and it adds a refresh timer to their “afk before kick” timer. Badly implemented? Yes. Simple fix would be just to force the player to look at the door that leads to the exit of the jumping puzzle upon spawning and auto running to the exit. Problem solved, I know, it’s brilliant.

As for the teleporting bots, it’s true, they’re out there. If you’ve done the JP as long as I have, you will catch it and you will be surprised, I know I was. No it is not a lag/glitch, I’ve had the entire server of 16 or so people see the same thing on three separate occasions now. From what I’ve heard they are called “Position hacks” I don’t know how it’s done or what they do, but they port until the JP is complete and yes they do get crushed by the boulders from time to time, but then immediately respawn and port instantly until it’s finished. Imagine the amounts of presents they rake in, in a bugged server… oh boy.

Not sure where this post can be categorized on the forums, but if it needs to be moderated to another forum please do so and I apologize in advance.

Due to the very lucrative rewards, bots are now invading the Wintersday jumping puzzle. This is more like a PSA as I cannot show proof or “blame and shame” on the forums, but please, if you see it report it.

What to look for:
If you are doing the jump puzzle and just suddenly see someone port in front of you midway in your jump puzzle, that was a bot. They will usually just park themselves at Snowman lane pretending not to do anything and then seconds later… POOF! They port at the very end and get rewarded.

tl;dr Bots completing jump puzzle, they get rewarded, I die a little inside. Please report it!

Not complaining, just a bit disappointed that it feels like a copy pasterino of 2014 Wintersday. The defiance stacks on Toxx in the Infinarium instance is just a clear sign of that.

Oh, and by the way, the jump puzzle is a bit glitched with the vanishing snow boulders, I only ask for a quick fix, but it’s the holidays and I don’t know how busy Anet can be to fix small issues like that. One can hope though.

Remember, not mad or crying about it, I love the new consumables, Timekeeper weapons and achieves, just thought I’d point out defiance stacks on Toxx. No matter how I read my own post it sounds passive-aggressive, I assure you it’s not… I’m sorry!

The passive swiftness while in town and in home instances is bugged since latest update.

When loaded into a new town instance, the passive swiftness 33% movement speed from (Mastery) works, however when any swiftness (Boon) from any source is applied to your character, it will overwrite the swiftness (Mastery). When the swiftness (Boon) ends, you will permanently run at the regular speed while only keeping the swiftness visual effects from Leader of the Pact III (Mastery).

tl;dr Don’t stack swiftness (boon) with pact commander III (mastery) while in town or you will move at a regular pace again due to a bug that needs a fix.

Must have cackling laugh please, k thank you.

OMG I just now saw this. It is page of emblems from contest. So many much more better than winner.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/arenanet/sets/72157655371639663

I do now think it was RNG. Or else arena net what were you thinking about when you pick winner?

They thought “hey let’s pick 2 Quaggans because yay branding!”

I’m sure they would have picked 5 Quaggan emblems if they thought they could get away with it.

Lol, I couldn’t agree more with this. I really wanted something with a more serious tone and not something cute, the “cutesy” factor doesn’t fit for me. The llama though, would’ve been very nice with the top hat, Dapper Llama.

Sometimes it is a little difficult to tell when it is indeed night time and I have a set of night sigil weapons to swap for occasions like that. I’m sure there are also wvw duelists out there that would also appreciate more dps in their builds.

I’m also not convinced that we shouldn’t have such a small QoL added to the game, in fact the new Lion’s Arch requires a certain area to be night time in order to gain accessibility, so why not have the game tell you what the day/night cycle is?

tl;dr Add a night/day compass so we don’t have to second guess whether it is night time or day time.

Turtle Dragon.9241:

1. Whole Collections Achievements have been reset.
2. Whole Story Journal Achievements have been reset.
3. All PvP Reward Tracks have been reset and do not progress at all.
4. All Skill/Traits Training have been reset, with no Hero Point Refund.
5. The moment you complete Daily, the Daily resets and gives you a new Daily.
6. Previously Unlocked Season2 chapters now Locked down behind Gem Paywall.

Let’s add these too.

7. Mail Carriers are all reset and locked, have to rebuy all of them.
8. PvP finishers are all locked and reset, have to rebuy all of them.

I assure you, this is not a visual bug either, I can’t select them and use them. Please fix this, it cost me alot of gems to have these things.

*Edit
This patch is a huge visual bug. I’ve swapped to multiple alts and still shows my stuff locked, however I can choose the finishers/mail carriers I have by closing my menu for it to work. Note: This only works for PvP finishers only.

Okay so like being knocked down would turn into a condition, with the only way to cure it would to break stun or wait the 2 or so seconds. LOL to being trampled by a tiny Asura though.

Looks like fun and with the right player can cause quite a bit of chaos to enemy zergs in a WvW setting. Tripwire only affects enemies to my understanding, not sure if it works on multiple targets, would be nice if it did. Imagine an enemy zerg opposite of where you are and then you would stealth, plant a trip wire, reappear, get chased by zerg, few enemies get knocked down and they get trampled by their allies for say 2% of hp pool per trample.

Nice idea, maybe can be a WvW trap from the vendor. But, I do like the idea of traps having charges. Maybe give traps a duration with an X amount of charges that can be improved with traits maybe.

I can be in crowded places or alone in my home instance and my gemstore item doesn’t work anymore since April Fools.

All volume settings are turned up, master maxed, player instrument maxed and no sound.

First, props to the mail couriers on the gemstore, I love it and glad it came from a suggestion post on these forums.

I main an Asura, and well… am getting a little disappointed with the size scaling on the couriers that I purchase off the gemstore. I bought the ghost courier and when summoned, it’s a human just as small as an asura, my griffon courier is only two sizes larger than the little birdy everyone gets. But when I get on a norn/charr character they’re SUPER scaled, everyone notices it and I kinda like that.

I wish I could show some examples but I suck at posting pics and I am not a frequent forum poster. If anyone can post some examples, I’d gladly appreciate it.

tl;dr Please fix the scale size of the mail couriers to a default scale. The ghost courier is barely noticeable on asura race characters due to small scale.

This post needs to be sticky’d or something because this fix has fixed my problem two patches in a row now and not only for just my login but also my brother and father’s login too. Please anet fix this issue, we shouldn’t have to bend over backwards to figure out workarounds for logging into the game.

This issue only happens when we have to update for a patch, I remove the tag on my shortcut after it updates. Works fine after the update.

Thanatos.2691:

I wouldn’t be against this. I definitely had trouble finding the home instance in the Black Citadel during the first month or so because I kept passing the entrance and mistakenly tried to get the POIs within from outside the instance.

This happens to alot of new players who try to map out the cultural towns first and the black citadel is a nightmare for new players to map 100% because of these mapped out instances.

I was just talking to a guildie of mine about this idea and we came up with instead of having an icon on the map where it can clutter the map some more, why not simply just put a giant house button below the map completion stats on the map itself or a small button of a house above the mini map. ONLY WHEN IN CULTURAL CITIES DOES THIS APPLY Hey, you never know, maybe we’ll get the fabled guild halls and these buttons can be built into the map to use to travel into a guild hall.

Before anyone starts giving me the “too many resources, we want mounts/expansions” line, this is a very small fix. It is literally one icon, nothing game changing, just a small quality of life change that can help alot of new players and even some veteran players believe it or not.

I have people ask me where the home instance is on the cultural cities all the time. New players probably don’t even know what that even is, especially since you can’t start your personal story until level 10. Having nodes installed in a home instance is a great and fast way to finish daily gathering achievements, nodes are advertised on the gemstore and we also had the home portal stone, for these reasons alone I believe that a small home instance icon would be useful to have on the map.

All I ask is for an icon on the map of a house, maybe also make it selectable so that we can post it on map chat and make it show it on the map like points of interests/way points etc. Divinity’s Reach = Human home instance, Rata Sum = Asura home instance etc.

tl;dr A simple icon of a house for home instance on the map please.

Aeon.4127:

Cant tell you how awesome this would be, finished CoE P2 recently and forgot I did it just after the daily the other day, if it wasn’t for the charged lodestone I would have been a little bit more upset. +1 this idea hands down!

This, this is exactly why it would be a nice idea to have atleast a type of checklist of certain dungeons that have been completed in the day. How anet would implement such a thing though is the tricky part… would you just I don’t know find this under daily/monthly achievements tabs? Maybe, a daily dungeon tab that refreshes upon daily?

Don’t know if you use Teamspeak OP, but you may be able to find an overwolf overlay that checklists the dungeons you completed (if not someone should do this), that would certainly help solve these problems but they should be implemented in the game for sure.

Before you start hitting that report button, confirm it in chat, no response = report. Come back later and ask again, do not report again, from what I gather anet does work on the reports but checks the chat with time stamp as their log. Anything exploitable like that I send out my reports as botting, but do NOT spam the reports as this can work against you.

To be completely honest OP, I’ve even seen people announce that they will afk in front of red rock… guilds even. Also please note these afkers are more than likely Necro minion masters or rangers, I’d get more into the details but I don’t want to explain more on the subject.

Remember the battle for Lion’s Arch? People, entire zergs would afk at the way point next to the exit to get a free reward. Can’t speak for anet, but a few people were punished for doing that from time to time.

Comcast West Chicago, Connection Error(s) detected … Retrying

Happened just as I was starting to update the game, please fix this issue, this happened yesterday at around the same time and lingered for about a good hour before it was fixed.

Serophous.9085:

what are you talking about? then people would have to click to create a new character, click through the whole character process, click through dialog to skip, click on a way point, click on accepting the new craft, and so on!

GEESH ANET! SO MUCH CLICKING!

I lol’d to this so hard. I had to post this asap because I was already hearing it in guild chat and then it escalated to map chat. I know many find the new achievements to be a horrible experience, but really it’s not so bad.

Craft an essense of luck EXOTIC, it’s free… this is a public service announcement. Thank You.

Anet has been doing things to the home instance with the inclusion of the nodes from gemstore or events. Adding mini pet ambient creatures would be nice, of course only include those that are unlocked on your account. It doesn’t even have to be all of them, just put them around the nodes/rewards you unlock that fill up your home instance. As a collector, I would love the inclusion of this mini pet farm in the home instance.

It can even be creative like, pair up marjory with belinda mini, molten fire storm with berserker, karka with the hatchlings etc. If Guild Wars 1 had it, why can’t GW2 have it, and I believe the max display of mini pets was 20. It’s a nice idea, but I’m pretty sure Anet has alot on their hands right now *POLYMOCK… cough… but you know, one can hope.

The OP has a good idea going and I can really respect where Anet is going with the color commander tags. However, I really wish Arenanet would just replace the commander tags (doritos) with actual symbols that commanders can designate. Rather than colors, why not replace the tags with a Sword (attacking), Shield (defending), Supply Crate (support), Binoculars (recon). With each of these respective symbols one can even rank up the symbol dependent on your WvW rank so that not everyone who has 300g can be a commander. So for example a commander who is taking towers/keeps puts on a Sword tag, visually I can see that he’s a very good commander because he doesn’t just have 1 sword on his tag, but he has two gold colored swords on his tag probably telling me that he’s WvW rank 1500+ I would rather follow a 1500 than a WvW rank 40 and I’m sure some people can agree with me when I say that their are alot of trolly commanders out there who can’t back up their tag when they pop it out. This can even be a way to distinguish true WvW grinders out there with some prestige and would get the community working a little harder to earn those high level tags.

tl;dr Replace color tags with symbols representing roles in WvW. Rank up in WvW, gain prestige to unlock newer and distinguishable tags that back up your experience in WvW. Example WvW Rank 1-250 Sword icon (1 sword) 1500-2000 Sword icon (2 gold swords/axes).

Saw the picture of your dog, reminded me of Marley and Me, always cry man tears at the end of the movie every single time I see the final scenes. I’m very sorry for your loss, just remember the best times you had with your best friend and cherish those moments always, I’m sure your dog will.

Remember and just feel happy about those moments, crack a smile and throw in a few laughs here and there. There are no good bye’s, only see you later

I really like this idea, it gives that (going the extra mile) aspect of Guild Wars 2 and personalizes your home instance. This can also work as an extra gold sink to improve the economy of “undesired” minis and may even give people a reason to start collecting and contributing more into the gem store. I’d have to agree with the OP, we may or may not be seeing Polymock anytime soon, but I’d surely like to have minis to be displayed in my home instance. As an asura player there’s really nothing you can do in your home instance i.e. no shops, repair etc. like other racial instances, so I really would appreciate something like a mini farm to be implemented. Perhaps maybe even other achievement related objects to personalize your home instance like a guild banner, WvW seasonal tourney trophies etc. just to show you were part of those events.

tl;dr I approve of having a mini pet farm, it may be a gold sink but atleast you can personalize your home instance with it, other than that what was the point of the Home Portal stone?

First, yes I understand what you are supposed to do to complete the achievement. I’ve read up on the guide and viewed the video on dulfy, have seen other players complete it in other videos on youtube. However, these videos are about a month old and it’s my understanding that this achievement is part 1 of The Dragon’s Reach living story. Does this mean I’m too late to do it? If so, a deadline would’ve been nice.

The problem I’m seeing is that the champion mordrem thrasher is not applying an effect to my character, thus preventing me from interacting with the nectars it drops. I’ve tried soloing it, in a party, even had a mini zerg on it and other people who NEED to complete the achievement can’t get it. Please fix, thank you.

tl:dr bottoms up achievement bugged. champ not applying effect, does not allow to pick up nectar, needs fix.

Alright, well as long as they do get closed and promptly, then all is well. I was just a bit worried because of the frequency of the private messages I’ve been receiving today.

Thanks for the quick reply, Astral.

As of today, I have been getting countless pm’s from multiple websites some of them being pvpbank or some nonsense. This is not new as I would only usually get about 1 or maybe 2 pm’s a week, but I’ve reported and blocked someone trying to sell me gold like every hour today, specifically.

I keep doing the same usual thing block/report, but when does it end!? Should I be worried about my account being compromised somehow?

Hace a good day! -_______-

Getting frustrated and a little worried here, I’m sorry in advance if I’m too forward here, if only these sites were shut down permanently already. Btw 2nd post since launch yay…

This would be the first time it’s happened to me since day 1, I can’t sell any items but am allowed to buy anything I want without a problem. I have lots of buy orders that I would love to cancel but can’t because tp shows that I have no items I’m buying but I keep receiving items to pick up anyway. What do I do? Just wait for a fix? Also this is crippling my money making ways as I need money to craft my eternity. I post this in hopes of anet addressing the issue with the tp.

Thanks

P.S. This is also my very first post in the forums… EVER!

UPDATE:

Patch came in and fixed my problem, I can now see my listings and sell again, I also forgot to mention that I was getting an error on selling my items. For some strange reason, I was able to sell an inscription this morning, the item disappeared from my inventory and the tp gave me the Error attempting to sell message, so I guess my inscription is gone forever. Seems that when they roll out patches, it fixes tp issues for awhile until it happens again. Good Luck everyone else.
