Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Im really hoping that a mod will respond to this but i wanted to see if anyone else had this problem.

My guild/s of almost 300 people recently transferred to Dragonbrand. I was unfortunately not on the day of the transfer. When i got on a few days ago and tried to transfer with my guild Dragonbrand is now FULL. I have waited and tried transferring every hour of the day to see if the population would drop but no luck.
The gems are not a problem but the server being full is.

Is there anyway to get to a Full server? or at least show some support for a guild member who got stuck on our old server.
PLEASE, i miss WvWing and having great fun with my guild mates.

Thanks to whoever reads this and gives input.

There is also a bug with the cool down. With the Forceful Greatsword trait we should get a 16 second cool down but when you hit someone it goes to the full 20 second cooldown.

made a bug post of this but got no response awhile back.

Bump
We need this fixed please.
Thank you

Recorded this bug in clear detail. I I would really like this to be addressed. Thank you

EDIT: I reposted this thread in the bug forums. Needs to get fixed and QUICK

Updated this with a video showing the bug in clear detail.

I just tested this.
20 points into Arms, the X major trait Forceful Greatsword
The tooltip reads 16s before using the skill.
As soon as the skill is activated the cooldown starts at 16 secs, as it should, but when the enemy is contacted with the attack it immediately resets to the full 20 secs.
So not only are we losing the 4s cooldown, we are also losing the time rush take to get from start to the enemy.

This needs to be posted in the bug forums as well

EDIT: i was just contacted in game by a moderator. THANK YOU ANET for the quick response and compensation. This has deffinetly made the ecto bug a little less painful.

id just like to know if there were ANY plans to compensate the people who lost untold amounts of gold, ectos, rares, gems, ect while this whole process to figure out the Ecto salvage bug was going on. This affected ALOT of players but not all.

i my self spent ~20$ on gems( and then blk kits) only to get half the return rate for ectos over the last 3 days.
I really think that just sweeping this under the rug and chalking it up as "unintended bug so its not our fault " is the absolute worst decision possible.
PLEASE Anet restore some of my faith in you and compensate people with something… Anything!

-Thanks

And apologies to all those accused of conspiracy?
lol glad this is fixed , just got 3 ectos from my second rare

COMPENSATION for all the lost BLKkits PLZZZ that was 20$ of gems i would like to at least get the kits back for

Just wanted to put all the recorded events of this salvage rate happening in one post.
big and small as they are ALL relevant.
These are all copied from posts in this forum

If there are any more recorded events of this sorry if i missed your post. let me know and ill edit

Again these are all from unique accounts that posted previously on this thread.

“yes Waxworm that is true. But at the same time the people crying Troll aren’t helping in a constructive way either
Can we all just agree to disagree until this is definitively proven or dis-proven?
i just want a clarified answer if this is really happening and at what scale.”

quote of my deleted post
im still not sure how this is inflammatory. i just want to get a clear answer without the word “troll” or “conspiracy” flying around.
just a simple yes or no

no this is happening to alot of people actually. and my post got infracted for asking anet to clarify if this is happening or not

i just got my post deleted for my comment on clarification. I did not say anything offensive or even controversial. i would just like CLARIFICATION.
is this happening or not Anet?

you can delete posts on this thread but not respond?

ok i really don’t care if this bug is real or not anymore.
its up to every ones own discretion

but seriously stop the Hes a Troll/ Ignore the Troll comments.
people posted their actual experiences and just because they don’t match yours does not mean they are trolls.

Vol you are contributing nothing to figuring this out.
If YOU would like to do a 2000+ sample size then, by all means please try it.
Otherwise refrain from criticizing people who are constructively posting on this.
I did one of the initial 100 salvages and later made a video of me doing another 10. (admittedly the 10 was a small sample)
I will NOT be salvaging anything else as of now. MY RATES have been lowered. If you don’t believe me that that is your prerogative.

Speculation is not what is happening here.
I wont say this is a nerf/bug just because of the amount of ppl saying they are NOT getting this issue.
But i’m getting the same amount of people that DO have the issue. This is out of the realm of just “conspiracy theory” this is affecting a large numbers of players across all servers.
Say what you will about it, but please reserve your " OH hes just a forum TROLL!" till AFTER this is definitively fixed/proven/removed.

just bought another 10 and tried for the community.
maybe my sample was too small but again only got 1 ecto per rare.
3 ectos* in total
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZmhdis5Rh8&feature=youtu.be

the proof is in the trading post right now. the ecto price jumped more than it has in the last 3 weeks just today

Geotherma it really seems some people are having this 1 ecto per rare issue and others arent.

some are calling me a “conspiracy thoerist” and others on my server are having the exact issue. guildies included
Possible diminishing returns on salvaging now?

thats hilarious because
1. those are all opinions =)
2. NCSoft owning Wild Star is fact.

and i will bet that the micro-transaction model used in GW2 will be in Wildstar.

WildStar= more NCSoft trash. If your having issues liking gw2 you will be in the same boat with WildStar. Its a wow look alike with the same crappy micro-transaction scheme as gw2. Dont expect any of the bugs or gameplay issues to get fixed in that game either.
More Real money sinks for in game content.
NCSoft = money over players

Vayne , not being able to obtain a legendary UNLESS i spend real money IS blocking me from content. You may not see a legendary weapon as content but it is for most of GW2, and that’s as bad as blocking someone from the last boss of a dungeon or story arc.

sorry for confusion.
I got 1 ecto at the most from any given rare. and that was less than 50% of the rares.
out of the 100 i ended up with 42 ectos. This rate is far below what it was 3 days ago

these were a mix of rares from wvw chests/world bosses/Rng drops. i did not have any dungeon token rares or exotics.
its may not be just 1 ecto per rare but the rate has deffinetly been reduced.

i just tried with 100 rares. only got 1 ecto IF i got any.
Start the Ecto hoarding wars. expecting 35 silver ectos in a week

I had such high hopes for this game. it really does have ALOT of potential but NCSoft has shown time and again that their focus is on pleasing their pocket books and not the players. the horrid RNG and constant nerfing of EVERY good farming spot is proof of this.

I have to say this is honestly the best week of WvW ive played since this game came out.
Great match up and just down right fun battles, thanks DH and BP for making this a good week.
Its nice to have a fresh face in our Tier instead of a perpetual 3rd place holder

Doomknight.7923:

Bp just hibernates all week till Thursday, then they have more energy then a sugar high-ed 6 year old and just roll over everybody. Would be nice if BP actually put effort in ALL WEEK not just the night before reset when there’s almost no resistance. But hey the way Anet has it setup a server can do nothing all week and just put 1 night of good work in to take the tier lead.

i didn’t mean to offend with this or say BP didn’t do anything all week. Ive had tons of fun fighting them and i think they are one of the best match ups we’ve had. I’m just frustrated that no matter how hard we try or take, 1 night( because of when reset occurs) just ruins our score setting us in 2nd place again and repeating this BP, NSP, AR cycle

ANET PLEASE !!!
Give me the option to TURN OFF culling.
just an option, nobodys forced into it, and nobodys adversely affected by it

I mean if you don’t i guarantee somebody will just change the game coding and disable it themselves……

i was in EB today and had the outmaned buff more than once.
what i was commenting on was how you think your server has lesser numbers than AR or BP. It has almost identical numbers according to Anet. The last few weeks NSP has done, shall we say, less than satisfactory in WVW which has led to a decline in players the last 2 weeks. NSP has the numbers just like BP and AR but none of your players are in WVW this week because of your score for the last month

and " I don’t think I’ve seen AR or BP with the buff " means exactly that you haven’t seen them with the buff, but AR at least has had it almost everyday

This sounds like a fun idea but probably would be impossible.
The likely hood of the “small guild” servers staying in your tier only is extremely slim to none. And i would bet you money guilds on those servers will take advantage of the fact that they know when and how many people will be on to fight.

to you it may seem this way but i guarantee that to ppl on AR or BP its the same. Just depends on when u play and with who.
just like how BP always seems to nab everything during the late night hours and then ween off during the morning.
All just prime play hours.
Ive been on NSP and AR and both seem close in WvW population. BP does seem to have more people on constantly but that’s not to say they have more people on there server, just more active players.

I like how every server says " were better but you just have more numbers" LOL
It changes every hour, hell, every minute. 1 sec its AR with a 40 man zerg then its BP, then NSP. Our numbers are relatively close server wise we just all have different prime play times. Soo just enjoy the killing while you can and try not to die when u get outnumbered. Other wise stop QQ’ing on the forums and enjoy the mayhem.

Ever since these last few patches my 3 and 5 skills on GS and bulls charge seem to lag behind targets or miss completely. I have melee assist on and have tried it off but no difference. Its not just warrior moment skills that are having a problem. My thief’s heart seeker misses constantly, my mesmer’s blink and phase retreat seem to work then instantly revert back to my original position.
Something in these patches seriously screwed with the movement skills of every class and pathing in general
