It also disappears when harvesting any node or going underwater.

Challenge Motes are bugged [merged]

This is ridiculous it has been over 3 months. This was literately the only reason I bought this episode.

Just one month. It was the March 17 patch that broke it. The complaints about this patch were then merged into a two-month old thread that had been fixed.

At the time there were workarounds such as ‘start the instance multiple times’, ‘get to the right point in the story/read the mail’ and ‘hide your mini’. None of these tricks work for the current (and as far as I am aware, only broken challenge mote) issue in ‘Meeting the Asura’.

I’d certainly like to be able to choose parts of the outfit as skins, rather than as the outfit previewed on Dulfy.

Can confirm its JUST the ‘Meeting the Asura’ mote. I went to get my lumi armor the week of the patch that broke it (coincidently) and every mote except this one spawned on the first attempt, and still spawns for me.

does it spawn for anyone?

I saw a group advertising that they were doing it. I assume a rare few actually spawn the mote.

I am having the same issue. Multiple attempts to enter the instance do not make the mote spawn.

Going through the storyline in order to that point also does not make a difference.

The gas mask was a reward for the Nightmares within meta achievement for the Tower of Nightmares.

I’ve had a few different armor sets over the last few months. The first is AC + cultural shoulders and mask, the second is mostly a combination of vigil + ascended (while I figure out if I want to keep it). The last is cobolt purple Magitech + gas mask

Guest to a full server – worst case you’ll find yourself in an overflow which should have enough players.

Scarlet's Story: What was learned this patch?

in The Nightmare Within

Posted by: Diremongoose.1326

Diremongoose.1326

We’ve confirmed that Scarlet can access the same ‘alternate’ Tyria(s) that created the Steam Hulks/Ogres etc – as confirmed by Scarlet’s taunt about the Infinity Ball (if you’re an Asura that chose that personal story).

This could mean that Scarlet has been to/might even be from a place with evil versions of your characters (unless you already killed them in of course). If this might eventually mean alternative dimension versions of open world maps I’m all for it!

Nightmare Chamber opening - bad experience?

in The Nightmare Within

Posted by: Diremongoose.1326

Diremongoose.1326

Personally, I found the availability of open Nightmare Chambers to be rather bad mechanic.

As I progressed through the tower I passed by five of them before any of them were open. I grouped up, went inside with a team of four other players, only to have the chamber bug out (we killed the initial spawns but no enemies spawned after that and the next area remained closed). When we agreed to leave and come back…we were in another overflow with the door closed. We found the experience very frustrating.

Of course, what I learned from this experience is that different overflows have different chambers open at all times, so from then on I finished every chamber (on my own) in order simply by relogging up to three times to change overflows.

I don’t understand the need for this gated mechanic. Being on a high-population world (Yaks Bend) I have only ever once not been in an overflow, which meant that every time I did an instance I’d likely find myself in different overflow with the events in the tower in a completely different state. That’s fine, but it does not engender teamwork so much as selfish running between chambers followed by hitting the F12 key.

Krait Alliance? How?!

Have you guys seen the white otherworldly ‘toxic’ portals?

My theory is that Scarlet is recruiting from outside the ‘canon’ version of Tyria for her alliances. Perhaps even from the mists themselves via a process similar to Dessa’s fractal creation? If that was the case, Scarlet’s minions would have a vested interest staying in our world, rather than being destroyed.

Thoughts?

I’ve been having a decent amount of success with a full clerics build and elixir bombs. The trick is to support the team damage with AoE might using fire bomb combined with blast finishers (Big old bomb, shield 4, elixir gun acid bomb, supply drop). When you stack regen with healing bombs and super elixir, the results are quite pleasing, even in tough dungeon fights.

I run with my zerker armor/accessories in my pack as well, so I can swap roles on the fly, but I rarely have to.

Has anyone noticed this trait not working as a stun breaker any more? In both Arah and AC explorable I’ve been knocked down, the trait has activated, and I remain on the ground, sometimes for the entire invulnerability duration.

@Sharkey: I’m not generally a fan of the ‘refined’ Charr look, but you’ve made it work with a great colour scheme! 9/10

@Lifeson: That’s a fairly minimal setup, which works fine, but I find it a little boring given the options available. 5/10 from me.

Here’s my own Charr Engi, with a couple of cultural pieces mixed with AC armor and the F&F fused gauntlets. The Dye? Charred of course!

I’ve been trying to go for blacksmith/‘forged’ look (the gauntlets go well with the Predator rifle I think.)

Predator rifle sound change or bug?

in Audio

Posted by: Diremongoose.1326

Diremongoose.1326

I’m not going to lie, I am very glad the change was rolled back. The sound effect was cool (straight off the video on flame sound effects I believe?), but what attracted me to the Predator rifle was that it was a Pew Pew gun in a fantasy game.

With that said, I’m still grateful to the Anet team for continuing to add new things to the legendary weapon we all worked long and hard to achieve. Please don’t be discouraged by this reaction – we’re grateful for the hard work even if we didn’t like this particular change!

From: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/80431-becoming-legendary-or-how-i-got-my-life-back/

After months of trials and tribulations I finally made the Legendary Rifle ‘The Predator’, but straight after that I started writing down my account of the experience complete with tips and tricks. This isn’t a dry guide so much as a personal journey story with pretty screenshots to illustrate it!

Every day this week I’ll be releasing a new part of the article on our community website.

-Monday: Part 1 “Player vs EVERYTHING”
-Tuesday: Part 2 “Charr can’t jump”
-Wednesday: Part 3 “Karma comes in jugs, Farming comes in groups”
-Thursday: Part 4 “Playing Eve Online the Trading Post minigame”
-Friday: Part 5 “It Ends”

So now that res-rushing has been stopped – can we get some more WPs in TA? It’s kind of a boring hike though poisonous flowers right now.

Clipping Bugs in Caudecus Manor explorable

We have stumbled upon multiple clipping bugs in Caudecus Manor explorable, as well as a way outside of the playable area that can be reached with an easy jump.

Link to gallery of images: http://postimage.org/gallery/4vmpvx6/

This image shows how to escape the map with an easy jump: http://s12.postimage.org/7ptd8i0l8/gw088.jpg

Here is the route on the map: http://s8.postimage.org/ohs20lihw/gw067.jpg

Note: the face room appears to apply a buff upon completion and is therefore an exploitable issue.

We are happy to cooperate with Anet to locate/resolve these issues.
