Guild Wars 2

One thing I noticed in the material storage forum chat was the listing of the crowbars, chak acid etc. One thing I find is that I will be out on a character doing a map completion or a meta and realize I have left everything on another character or in the bank. I know they do not meet the level for material storage because they have no crafting value. Could we add them to the wallet so they are cross character?

Also I would love to see Gift of <enter name here> added to the material storage. They are a crafting component and you cannot salvage them to something lower. When you have 19 toons with 100% personal story, map, and development completion……..you end up with quite a few of them. Plus you have the holiday gifts like mad king stuff etc. If its listed in the material storage as an option people might strive harder to fill an empty slot……I know I would.

I will recommend the following items I repeatedly get and end up stacking in my bank.

Experience Scrolls
Boosters
Writs or Experience
Mystic Forge Stones
Black Lion scraps and Tickets
Krytan and Alpine Lumber Cores
Reclaimed Metal Plates
Tonics
Chak Eggs
Petrified Wood
Gifts of _________ (I have tons of these for various things)
Enchantment Powder
Amalgamated gemstones
Power Cores
Vision crystals
Blueprints

I would like to ask you reconsider on the Chak Acid, Crowbars, Exalted Keys, Machetes etc…….

Well I loved being on the GW2 beta had so much fun doing those. Miss the hunger game they did I think on the second beta. So bring it on guys want to torture this revenant some more see if I can break her.

First I wanted to thank Anet for leaving my beta character viewable in my character screen. I do enjoy looking at it and planning on what to do next with it. Speak of that…….any rough schedules for stress tests? Month, two months etc. just curious if you plan on making a few predictions like they did with the original GW2 beta. I do look forward to bug hunting again.

I have to agree with Gaile. I have been on tons of betas. The final version is always better. Stress tests and betas are just glimpses into the basics of the game. The final release always knocks my socks off unless of course its a game that never makes it out of beta…….seen too many of those in the past.

Yet again as I have tried to remind people with each bi-weekly addon and opportunity….one tradition we had in GW1 was the collector edition dances. It was one thing I felt we lost when GW2 came out that was really fun. So now that an expansion is coming could we consider adding them again? Gaile…….help me here…….

Try modeling the same type of deployment they used in Just Cause 2 with the parasail. Timing had a delay that was perfect. Good model to follow.

OH!!! In future plans I might suggest a tradition targeting reticle for the sniper rifle if in 1st person view. Would make using them on the perch a bit more fun. Not that they aren’t already.

And in the collector edition we would like Collector Edition dances like we had in GW1…….HINT HINT!!

Playing on an older MacBook the beta ran well with no real issues. Small frame rate drops but not anything too different from normal Guild Wars2. Took a bit to figure out what skills were working well. Attacking the large vines the damage values were hard to see at times due to all the movement. Flying I noticed the wing deployment was a little sporadic. Would be nice if I could deploy at a half second interval from first leap. Just a pet peeve not a bug. Wings remind me of the JC2 parasail.

A repair station might have been nice btw just a suggestion.

Loved the new class, very creative will need to spend some time in a beginner area practicing with the timing and attack chain. Looking forward to stress test #2 this evening.

I found the issue. We use Norton Security and at some point the GW2 client failed and got locked in Norton Firewall. When I deleted the client the item was identified as an unknown item. When i refreshed the OS and deleted the client the firewall application was of course unaffected. I found the stuck line item in the connection manager. Once I told it to close the connection the client then loaded and began to update. Most likely others won’t experience this unique failure but figured I would share so you could log it in the known error database. “Check for stuck or unknown connections in your firewall”

UPDATE: Went to another Mac in the house with a working client. Copied the files from there to my wife’s desktop so it did not need to update/download anything and it still just shows the icon in the bar but never opens a launcher or show any activity onscreen at all.

My wife had trouble with the trader. Error message was in a previous posting of mine. I decided to remove GW2 and reinstall as well as refresh her OS. So after reloading OXS Maverick I pulled the installer from the website and ran it. I get the icon created in the application folder. When I try to run the application the icon appears in the application bar at the bottom of the screen but nothing else happens.

I have reset pram etc, deleted the application support folder, and ran the terminal repair command. All of which have not changed anything. Icon appears but no activity at all.

I did check firewall rules as well as tried a different wifi source with no improvements. Running out of ideas and would love some help, wife would really like to do her dailies

Ready() || m_resolving == MAX_UNSIGNED error came from opening the black lion trader. Currently using the MAC client when error occurs.

Also anytime I open the trader it causes the game to crash. This was the first error it ever gave me.

You know doing some rough searches I’m not finding any Key Farm videos for the China version…..I guess if I could see that they have the ability to do it in this format we will be inheriting I would feel less concerned.

Anet offers the ability to use cash or gold for Gems. They provide keys as a reward for completing different tiers. So to say Anet does not want to give away keys for free would be in error. I farm keys and I farm ori and ancient wood. Between the two I make enough funds to buy things that interest me in game but it takes time to save up . If the key farm gets longer I will still do it. The keys to me have value. Unless its the intention of Anet to completely prevent me from accomplishing this I feel we will still find a way to quickly level to the keys. We also get the ability to unlock all the weapon skills at once which means less time prepping the weapons. Mega servers were supposed to be the doom and gloom for ori farming because you could never map the locations with the maps changing. The community found solutions and I can still farm , in fact now I am actually faster than before. Change is not always bad, just makes us think differently. “Nature finds a way”

Been a month, just keeping the Collector Edition dancing dream alive…..

I had saw I had some black lion tickets so I bought two of the ley line weapon skins. After some previewing I didn’t really have anything to go with them so was going to sell them. After the patch they are locked now. I never tried to use them or add them to my wardrobe, yet now they are account bound. Did this happen to anyone else? I see they are still listed in the black trader but now I cannot sell mine. Please let me know if this is bugged.

Ronin.7381:

I actually managed to get the diving achievement while still dying. Hit the water but it wasn’t deep enough to float in. GG!

How odd that I had the same experience. Had a nice individual porting from the top of the JP to the diving spot. Took me two attempts to get the achievement but I too hit the edge of the water and died.

This is yet again a change Anet to restore one of the lost features from Guild Wars 1. The collector edition dances…..Just saying this is a great opportunity. BTW Ill keep reminding you guys each month……in case you forget.

You have brought so many great things from GW1 into this game. Please bring back the tradition of Collector Edition Dances please.

What I would like to see is another option for those that skinned their T3 armor with the new skin thinking it was a mod etc. Id like an option to revert back to the preious skin for those that want their T3 armor back and not have to re-grind for it.

(no it was not me that skinned T3, but I know of many that did thinking it was a armor modification.)

I would assume the following ideas are null and void.

1. Option to revert to previous armor for those people that put the flamekissed over their T3 Armor thinking it was a mod.

2. Option for those that bought the existing armor to keep it if they wish.

Recommendation: If you don’t wish to see a huge flood of requests to refund gems which would leave lots of room for human error and customer satisfaction issues. You should replace the armor with something similar. The specifics being – Attractive slimming armor, minimalistic (not some full body suit that hides the character), and something that makes the flame effect be a as attractive as the current light armor (subtle effect that augments the armor)

Just my two cents – Flame Away

Okay so here’s the latest, I tried everything honestly that has been posted here. For a limited time I was able to play by deleting the local.dat file after each reboot. Other times if I started the game and let it sit for a bit at the menu the mouse issue would not occur. I did check the config settings mentioned they were the same. I tinkered a bit and didn’t see any real difference. I did complete client close vs. logouts. Even tried ending the the game through the finder just to see. I have been forced to install windows through bootcamp to play the game. This was not what I wanted to do but to play the game I had no choice. There is something wrong I feel with the wine interface they are using possibly. I have given up on the Mac client for now because I see no real effort by the Anet team to improve it or even get it out of beta.

It was nice playing on the Mac side when it worked because I could have iTunes running in the background for music and movies for the kids on the Apple TV etc. Using the windows client is a solution but not the best option.

So we had the molten pick (fire) and the Spring Sickle (water)……and now these Aetherblades appear. So will we see lightning or tornado axe?

Well not sure if a ticket will help. Reloaded the client both saving the dat and also not saving it just to be safe. Out of each restart of the client maybe 1 out every 5 times the mouse will work until I close the client. This is not consistent though I have restarted, rebooted and deleted the local.dat file 7 times so far today and can’t play the game. I’ve tried adjusting the mouse sensitivity, changing USB port locations to force re-detection. Tried multiple type of mice from my Logitech M-100 , to a wireless trackball, to a Razor Diamond. View goes erratic no matter which device is used. I have worked on computers for the past 30+ years and never had this much trouble getting a mouse to work. Especially on a Mac which is truly odd. I’m out of ideas gang, sorry if I can’t offer anything more to this.

Ok so more detail. Once returning home I am now back on my high speed connection and the mouse issued persists. the 1.11 update continues to reload over and over each time I start the client. Yesterday the only way I could get the mouse to work effectively was to delete the local.dat file and startup the client. If I exited the game (did this using the proper exit commands from the menu) when starting the game again at the character screen if I could not control the spin of the character in the view I knew the mouse was messed up. I would repeat the local.dat deletion again until the mouse worked. This morning though I have repeated the process three times and its no longer working. I now am unable to play the game at this point because I cannot control the camera. I will delete the client today and reload it from scratch to see what impact that has. Ill update this forum with the results.

If this is of any use. When i am at home on my personal network which is high speed cable this problem is extremely rare but does occur. The client restart fixes it each time. While here on the relatives ISP I did notice one other thing unique to being here. Every time I start the client I get a tgupdate 1.11 loading before the client. At home I never saw this since getting the game last august.

I have been using the client now for the past two days. When I use my relatives ISP connection the mouse goes berserk. Restarting or closing the client does not seem to resolve it. I have tried rebooting the computer as well. I do not use the Windows partition so that was not an option. I did connect to a different internet connection this afternoon and things worked great. When I went back to the relatives connection and the mouse continuously acts up. Mouse works fine for the map, menus, trader, inventory and other menus. But try to adjust your view while moving and it goes crazy. Possibly the speed of the data traffic plays into this? I noticed when I tried to fight the erratic behavior it would pulse as if it was lagging. I have tried adjusting the mouse sensitivity in the OS as well as enabling and disabling various options in the menus and changing graphics options to look for anything wild that might fix it. I do not use an exotic mouse nor do I use any additional programs such as smooth mouse etc. Just a boring Logitech M-100. I offer these ideas as things I tried in case they give anyone else any inspiration, plus to help Anet rule out a few things. I did repeat these steps up to 6 times to validate the results were consistent. I of course can’t wait for a “fix” for this. Maybe we could get a sensitivity option in game or something similar that might prove useful.

I saw in previous posts for the Molten Pick they mentioned in the forums the expiration date. Just curious how long I have to start saving gold to buy this new sickle?

wow…….not one comment……….I’m surprised.

I just want a place to hang my sword or staff, kick off my boots, soak in a boiling spring drinking a fine ale I stole off the corpse of a Norn, while drying off with my authentic Charr skin towel. I would warm myself next to my sylvari corpse fed fireplace, all the while being pampered by my asuran servants………admiring my wall of achievements and bantering with my fellow guildies about where to adventure next.

I am hoping to see Guild Halls in future releases or patches, its another tradition they should have carried over from GW1 to GW2. Similar to the missing Collector Edition dances. It was a tradition worth keeping.

One tradition that was in every copy of Guild Wars since the first game was the unique CE dances. Nothings profound just glowing hands or some sort of effect the CE versions had when they used a specific dance emote. Can we continue this tradition in Guild Wars 2? Was it ever even considered?
