Guild Wars 2

You are correct. Thank you for your input.

I’m working on Chuka and Champawat IV: A Non-Traditional Family. The Secluded Tour sub-collection is made up of a variety of jumping puzzles. The first of which is Griffonrook Run. Does anyone know if I need to complete the puzzle with the bomb in-hand for credit? I’m finding it very difficult to make it through.

I completed the puzzle without the bomb and was able to open the chest. Everything I’ve read says I shouldn’t have been able to do this. I got items from the chest but not the item I needed for my collection. Did I do something wrong? Is a full run with the bomb required? Is the drop-rate not 100%?

Thanks.

I purchased two ascended insignia recipes from the Guild Commendation Vendor in the Guild Hall. They appeared (as expected) as a stack of 2 in my inventory. I double-clicked the stack and chose (what I thought) was my first recipe. In my case I chose the Sentinel recipe. Instead, the result was my stack of 2 pick-your-recipes becoming a single Sentinel recipe. Obviously, I expected to still have an additional recipe left over to turn into another selection.

Edit: Nevermind, it appears to be an inventory screen redraw issue. Similar to the problem that appears when transferring items out of the Guild Bank. You drag it over and disappears from the bank but doesn’t appear in your inventory. Then you move a second item from the bank to the inventory and the first item magically reappears.

I have all of the different HoT “keys” in my shared inventory slots. However, when I happen to collect another crowbar or machete it goes into my regular inventory as opposed to stacking with the identical items in the shared inventory slot.

That was it. Thanks. Sad times…

I want to say this has been happening since the April 19 patch but I can only say for certain that for the last 3 days. Upon completing the 3/3 daily achievements I’ve noticed that I have not been getting my 10 achievement points. I get the Spirit Shards and the 2g but the 10 points it says I get never get added to my total. I’ve been sitting at 27, 541 for several days not and that should at least be 27, 571.

Has anyone else been noticing this issue?

Our guild has been experiencing the same issues over the past two weeks. All the issues seem to relate to guild members receiving their personal rewards. The guild receives credit and favor (if not maxed) every time without a problem but without a personal reward system for participation, it’s difficult to get a regular turnout.

Guild Trek gave rewards to all online members the first week whether they participated or not. The second week, only the people actually interacting with locations got the rewards (and not ALL did).

Guild Puzzle this week was Proxemic’s lab. The entire guild ran it twice but only two people received the personal reward chest.

We’ve gotten Ghost Wolf run as the Guild Rush both weeks. I’m not sure if it’s specifically the wolves that are bugged or rushes in general but both times the reception of personal reward chests has been spotty at best, maybe 33%.

As mentioned above, the Guild Bounty has seemed to be working ok; the Guild Challenge seems fine as well.

Please fix these issues. We’re considering suspending missions until there’s word of a solution to these woes. Unfortunately, it kind of puts the brakes on upgrading the Guild Hall and our Scribes.

Yes, please fix this. For a couple of weeks now I’ve been trying to get the collectible from Dobbs and have been unable to as the event will not start. He hangs out on the shore across from Gyre Rapids waypoint. Every once in awhile he’ll walk over to the renown heart and hang out there. I’ve never seen the event actually cycle. One time I did find him at the end where he should be but he was not a merchant. The other two npcs merchants were there though. It was weird.

The Feature Pack announcements will continue next week and some of them will definitely contain information that’s relevant to those of you who’ve been playing the game for long. We won’t tell you about them until the articles are live though, to keep the element of surprise!

We’re two (of three) updates into the final week and I still don’t think we’ve seen anything that benefits people that have been playing for the past 2 years. Today’s “feature pack” update of Collection Achievements applies to “veterans” of the April Feature Pack at best as it only counts items that have been unlocked in your wardrobe since it was activated 4/15.

This will be much like when the April Feature Pack released and did not unlock all the cultural armor skins on my account even though I have all the achievements and the Emperor title from collecting them all. The proof was right there, but no, I was expected to dump another 620+ gold into the game to unlock them all again. The same thing applies here. I’m not saying that I should retroactively be given achievement points but please don’t try to pass these off as updates for veterans who have supported this game from day one. Players of all classes benefit from these updates equally.

So my full sets of ascended armor are becoming account-bound… Great news! But what if I’ve transmuted the ascended armor with cultural armor? Or put a set of “Soulbound on Acquire” runes from a dungeon vendor in the armor? Has anything been said about how this will be handled?

The nightly raids are a blast! I have found that the skill group runs have really made me a better WvW player overall, no doubt, and seeing a larger group flee in terror when they recognize your tag is just priceless.

I too am very curious about this. I was about to post the exact same question as I too have purchased the skins but have lost them one way or another along the way.

You should be able to. The contract will let you type out a name, and let you know if it’s taken.

To check, just add the name you want to take on to your friends list. It will tell you if anybody has it.

Well that’s true but if it has been taken or not useable in some other way I’ll still be out the 800 gems.

Does anyone know of a way to check the availability of a name or whether or not the way I want to spell/space it out breaks the rules of character naming?

I have a character named “Gee Rat Illuminatus”. I want to change it to “G Ratt Illuminatus”. I’m pretty sure that it’s not taken by anyone else but what I’m not sure about is whether I can have "G " as the start of my name.

If anyone knows, it’d be great. I’m really hesitant to spend the 800 gems. Maybe I could get a refund if it doesn’t work out?

YES! Finally back to normal! Thank you, thank you.

Can anyone tell me how many achievement points are required to get any/all of the new Radiant or Hellfire armor skins?

I assume I’ll have to unlock one piece at a time.

Hmmmm…. I actually take back (at least partially) what I said in the above post. While the issue disappeared and I was able to take 10 or so good screenshots, it’s now back to saving them as very faded and washed out.

I don’t get it. What could possibly be causing this?

^^ I agree with the above statements.

All the issues mentioned above appear to have been resolved with the Bazaar of the Winds update. Thank you.

Now go fix Order of Whispers armor dye problems please and thank you.

Still no fix either with the new Bazaar update. It’s been fixed before. What’s the problem this time? This is getting old.

Yes, that is true. You do not get the bonus chest with the guaranteed rare unless you are at least level 40. If you have another character that is > 40 you can still do the event again today before reset for the bonus chest.

Over the course of the past month, I have been taking hundreds of screenshots documenting my characters and their gear. All the screenshots I took a week or two ago look fine but ones I took today seem off. The hover pop-ups that show gear stats are now incredibly faded in the new screenshots.

You can see the obvious differences in the two pics below. The first was taken 6/23, the second on 7/7. Did one of the recent patches cause this?

I’ve noticed a couple of other issues too. I can only take screenshots that show gear pop-ups if they are equipped and if I’m in fullscreen mode. If the equipment is in my inventory or if my game is windowed at all, they pop-up doesn’t even appear in the resulting screenshot.

I can confirm that this happened to my Ranger character as well. I would like the daggers to go back to being brown or able to be dyed. I’m not sure if the change was intentional or not.

Open on Borlis Pass [NA]

Any NA servers currently open? I imagine those that were free several hours ago are no longer good to guest to.

Thanks for letting me know that. I had no idea as I’ve yet to touch the PVP side of the game.

I have a lvl 80 elementalist that I was gearing up with a full set of “Superior Rune of the Elementalist”. I placed the first rune on my armor and it immediately filled out all 6 runes bonus slots and reported that I had “7/6” runes added. I thought this was weird but figured it might straighten itself out. By the end of everyhing, I had “12/6” runes. I have attached a screenshot.
