Guild Wars 2

Just did it under 5 mins with Mesmer again. The icon was showing while i fought and disappeared when i beat him. I also now realize that unless I do the 2 expensive achievements, it won’t light up.

It seems like i might need to do the under 5 min one again. When doing another char, the icon appears when i go to do the final boss. I did it with my other account in the party, so maybe it accidentally counted it. People have been saying that only 1 person in the party can get the achievement per story.

I haven’t been looking at that. But bad if you right there.

So i was doing the living story “A Crack in the Ice” and had 2 achievements to do for the final reward “Glacial Gauntlets Box”.

I somehow did them both in the playthrough with this char. So I accepted all the rewards and opened the box to get my skins.

Now however, the story section where it says Master Achievement Reward is not showing as done. On some chars, you can’t even see the reward in that little box.

Probably not a big deal i guess. Since I know I got the reward, but i like to see that master icon on the story. Or does that only appear lit if I do the 2 expensive ones?

I just finished the WvW reward track for Hero Weapons, but you can’t make the old Gift of Heroes to upgrade it to the MistForged version anymore since we don’t get tournament tickets anymore.

Would be nice if you made a new recipe for us to get this higher weapon skin, or give us a Gift of Heroes near the end of the Hero track.

I agree that this is not a bug. I feel it is the way they planned it, but at the same time failed to realize that locked masteries should not count.

The whole system of the spirit shards needs to be available to all people, regardless if they have every mastery unlocked or have some locked.

I liked the idea of not needing to kill a boss in Raid to unlock it. Perhaps they could just change it to entering Spirit Vale and perhaps talking to the Npc there. Right now, I am trying to kill the first boss or get a group to do the escort so I can unlock it just to get the spirit shards.

It also is not because I need spirit shards (3.5k), it is the principle of being fair to all.

On the last major update, you did this:

Added back the ability to receive Spirit Shards once all the Masteries in a given region (Central Tyria or the Heart of Maguuma) have been earned. Players will continue to earn experience, and with every 254,000 experience points gained, players will earn a handful of Spirit Shards, which are useful to spend in the Mystic Forge or with the Mystic Forge attendant Miyani.

This is nice, however, could you please fix it so it works even if you have not finished locked ones. Some of us don’t care to do the raids for example, and as such, the mastery track is locked for us. But unfortuantly, you need to unlock it and do it just to get the spirit shards per level back again.

It doesn’t really seem fair to make people have to unlock them if they happy having them locked.

First let me say that it is great that you combined and improved the boosters months ago. However, with the new wvw tracks, the xp booster needs updating.

It states:

50% xp in all activities (this is gathering, mob killing, etc)
50% pvp reward track (helps get through the pvp tracks faster)
MISSING: 50% wvw reward track (would be same as pvp one but is not implemented yet)

I suggest having eotm and the regular maps a different percentage. Say 30% for regular maps and 50% for eotm. I say this cause the regular maps should give more points per tick than eotm, but some of us prefer eotm instead, as such, having a slightly higher percentage here would still keep it lower but give bit better rewards for us while the xp buff is active.

As much as I like the gliders, I feel it don’t really fit for Tyria. Your supposed to get around on the ground, but how bout our own Pact ship. We are the commander after all.

This has got to be the worst idea you have had ever. Making the item you need drop only on an event that has to have 2 others fail first.

Failing events is very hard when all these newbies don’t listen to 10 people saying ‘stop or event needs to fail’.

You have a load of events around tyria that if fail activate several other events. I love this idea but here is how to fix it.

Here is what my brother suggested you do to fix this sort of thing. Add an amount of times an event can succeed in a row. Then it fails automatically or each time gets harder to do so it fails.

This will ensure that all events eventually pop up. Lets take the Owl event for the nevermore.

Event One: Kill Svanir traveling to Owls area. [If successful after 5 times, Auto Fail: Begin Event 2]
Event Two: Stop Totem being Built [If successful goto Event One, else goto Event 3[If Event Successful 3 times, Auto Fail: Begin Event 3]]
Event Three and on:

Charlene.6278:

Nevermore I:

1) Item is not received after completing a tower in DS. Even after completing the full event and popping chest, no achievement/item.

2) After completing Thaumanova Reactor Fractal, no achievement/item was rewarded after popping the chest.

The second one is written wrong if you still unaware. Do Fire Elemental and you will get it.

I can play for a while and then I get this
Code=7:11:3:191:101

I think it fine now too. Bit laggy at times, but seems stable.

Went to bed since I couldn’t play the events. Got up just in time for the 4:30 one and was able to play it fully. Still got some log-in issues after exiting though.

Just got in again near 5:30. Seems like it getting better. But still have some problems with the website not loading or very slow.

Just curious, but does anyone here use NBN and have these issues?

I headed to bed. Can’t get in again. It would be nice if the event went 2 weeks like most of the content they have done before. I truly hope they change it a bit.

Netflix is soooo bad. Someone in the house loves it to death and it eats up the internet alot. Still can’t get NBN at my place yet.

Just got in the game and tested it twice. Took a bit to log-in and load my char I was playing but seems fine now. If you still have trouble just try every few minutes. And be a little patient with the log-in as it is still quite slow.
Correction: It might still DC you.

That’s what happened to me too parapapao. I’m in Australia. Very annoying when things stop working. Hopefully I can get in before the 10:30 start. Might stay up tonight then.

I can’t login at all at moment. I had a serious lag spike and then it finally threw me out. Now it won’t even log-in and I get the various codes you have been getting. Tried to disable Kapersky but no luck. Restarted and restarted the modem too.

Just been logging in as I do everyday for the daily chest. Yesterday I said to my brother that the 4 week reward is up tomorrow and he kept claiming that he just got it today.

It is now the next day and I just got that one.

I just wondering if somehow I am a day behind as in the original assumption, you just miss that chest on that day.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Once the chest appears on your screen (as soon as you log in), it is soul-bound to whatever character you have logged in with. It does not matter if you click it, ignore it, look at it, and save it (with the little return arrow) for later, …or anything else.

It can not be retrieved (or even seen) and/or used with any character but that one with which you first logged in.

Sorry for your loss.

Your info is very useful and I think you are completely right. I was doing a key run char and the daily popped up. I didn’t touch it at all. Then I deleted my char when I was done thinking I can get the chest on my main as always. But since it is soulbound like you claim. Looks like I missed it too. I know next time at least.

I think you might have a similiar problem to me but I think yours is fixable. Try checking all you chars as it might be on one of them. As for me, I was running a key char and deleted it and now I think I missed the chest till tomorrow.

Try this post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Can-not-get-my-daily-log-in-Chest/first#post4749284

I was playing a key run character and the reset must of happened. So when I deleted the character I didn’t open the chest and get my reward for the day.

Now I can’t get it on any character. Is there a way I can get it today, or did I miss it now and have to wait for tomorrow?

Guess I should join this place too. I just bought GW1 and was trying to link it to my GW2 account here. But it gives me that long Display Name and thinks it isn’t linked.

Sent a support ticket before finding this thread so I hope it all goes well.

Thanatos, perhaps you could post the reset password info they gave you. Might be useful for some of us if that worked for you.

Sounds like your video card is on it’s way out. I just replaced mine.

When I was playing it would sorta crash making pixels appear in the game then it would go out of the game and come back in. All fine again.

Nvidia driver kept saying it crashed and restarted.

Try updating you Drivers first. Does it happen with other programs or games?

Bought the pack yesterday and placed it in my home instance. Seemed fine till I realized that one of the trees is very close to the krait skill obelisk I have. Might want to move it or the Krait obelisk a bit.

Human instance. Not sure about others.

Does anyone know if u were to unlock the 2 skins, can you then use the items to make the mantle as well? Has anyone tried, cause otherwise you would need 2 copies of each item to have all 3 skins in total.

yes this would be good, but we still never got a toxic node which would have been nice.

It seems normal laggy for me. It always has been a laggy activity for me from the very start. I am in Australia though, so thanks to those who waited at the finish line last time to let me do the achievements.

I have the same problem with this achievement. Now I doubt you need 1st-3rd because last time I think that was a seperate achievement and you only needed to do that once.

I’d say it is more a bug at moment.

I would really like the ability to change the unlimited harvesting tools I have to one of the others. I had bought 2 copies of the original ones and I get sick of the animations.

It’s very handy that they are now account bound so I can swap them between characters that I am currently playing.

Fair enough. I had thought of that too. I have my invisible bag first so with all the items, so it is quick to find them. But some people might prefer to have it onscreen instead of the bag screen taking up picture.

Thanks for your opinion.

I been doing the living story and finally using up all the consumables I received from chests. I have the inventory open so I can use each one, especially the Killstreak one since I have so many.

And then it hit me. What if we had a bar we could enable just like other mmorpg’s, that only has all the consumables from your inventory. Food, boosters, mini, etc. Make it alot easier to use them then.

It could set it all automatic for you but manual might be best cause you may even want to put the bags on the bar so u can track how many you got or open them from there.

What does everyone think?

Very disappointing that we didn’t get one. But hey, maybe we get one next time and they don’t.

They are a nice armor set. But, the thing holding back from getting it is the blue skin color. Reminds me of that singer in The Fifth Element.

I think the team needs to make sure not to change skin color in the future or at least have an option to turn it on or off, or have two version sets might be easier.

Changing hair styles would just be the helmet which can already be turned off.

I love the new skin. where and when can u get it. also how bout the other person’s skin.

Yes. I hope for costumes too.

Me too. Must be fixed now.

Had a fealing that the login server has issues. They might be fixing something real quick. Oh well, I trying to catch up on my Anime at moment anyway.

First there is already a thread for weapon swapping for the Elementalist found here.

What does everyone think of having 2 trait trees, that can be swapped out of combat. This would be good for a lot of people that like to change alot for dungeons, events, WvW, etc.

Also having 2 armor sets that can be swapped with a button too would be very useful if you like to have a magic find set in your bag. I don’t do this but thought that I could have 2 sets of armor the same on, but have different looks. If I get bored with one look all of a sudden, I can just swap in an instant.

Both ideas would work just like swapping between you 2 weapons, only out of combat of course.

I just want the slots to put a second set of weapons in. Out of combat would be fine for the switching for me. Having all the weapons in the bag is annoying for switching.

I love this fun little activity game to. But I really wonder if they will keep the game after the story finished. I hope they do, cause these games really add to the game especially for new people coming later on.

It seems a great shame to remove something such as this after working so hard on it. But then, I guess the same goes for the dungeon they made for living story. They should have left it in as a new dungeon for those that love dungeons.

I’d just like to say thanks for bringing back the bonfires for longer. I missed it too, but I kinda misread the original GW2 post. Thought it was activated when the Southsun Cove area is released. Silly me.

Look forward to getting this last achievement in a few days when a patch is released.

Passed with my Elementalist lvl 80Human.
Always have arcane on when running around with I think 10 points and the trait to increase speed the more you atuned to it.

Don’t give up and just jump. The key is to keep going and not think about your next move. Also try watching a youtube video, as this might help.

I had a bit of trouble on the start to do the jumping puzzle. But after a few trys I get used to it. I watched a youtube video which helped me to know the way near the top.

It got easier the more I did it. I even went back in a few times to get the other chests.

Your both right Benji and Morfs. At this point it is hard to tell whether it is only at one time or runs over a 24 hour period. I think someone above mentioned that it might be a one off event that opens the Mad King World for us to explore till the end of halloween.

But regardless of what it will be, I think most of us are just worried that it will give you an achievement which alot of people can’t get due to work/other things. Perhaps if Anet just lets us know if an achievement is involved or not would settle alot of people down.

I am in Australia and I have the same problem. It is 29th, 5am for me. They should fix this if it is going to be a one time event. Should do it 12 or so hours earlier. But if it is just a kick off and not related to any achievements it is fine.

I think they really need to at least let us know what they planning to do on this, as to whether an achievement is involved or not. That I think is what most care about. Yes seeing it would be good, but I sure it on youtube for those who miss it. But of course a video can’t give you an achievement now can it!

Yes. We really need an out of combat swap. I use the staff, but it would be great to place 2 daggers or something in a quick change place just like all other classes can do.
