Guild Wars 2

For all the stacking bugs I have noticed, the difference seems to be one tooltip saying “Account Bound” and the other saying “Account Bound on Acquire.” This has actually been around for a long while with the instant level 20 scrolls you get from character birthdays, but the funny thing about that one is that it seems to be based on when the toon was made, since I seem to continue getting new ones of both kinds after already having had two stacks. I’m not sure what I can do to “acquire” the items that are already in my bank or a toon’s bag, as they seem to stay “Account Bound on Acquire.”

I only had the valid path failures in WvW tonight, and sure enough, both times that it happened, my character blinked on top of itself and started the cooldown. It causes profanities to fly when this happens across walkable terrain that isn’t even inside of any objective, seemingly because a flower was in the way.

EDIT: I see OP mentioned that Far-Reaching Manipulations is what makes me get the wonderful cooldown that guarantees I will not escape death.

which [BB] won 5-0 btw

Aren’t Borlis Brawlers a GvG all star team? Don’t get me wrong, they’re definitely good. But, I heard they’re comprised of good players from different guilds.

That’s cool, but not as impressive as a normal guild group that plays together regularly.

No, not really. We have a handful decent players, majority of mediocre and some very subpar players. More often than not our driver is drunk, late or doesn’t have a kittening mouse. We never run together, we never practice; we just show up and kill kitten on gvg night. BB is open to pretty much anyone on BP who is capable of pressing buttons, has a level 80 character and has half a brain.

I’m probably going to hurt some feelings by saying this but I personally think that BB is pretty bad. I have no idea how we’ve managed to win all our GvGs aside from one against HOPE.

tl;dr we’re awful but you’re all trash.

Sigh…more BB misconceptions which must be cleared up. Several of us play drunk, not just the driver, but he’s the only one without a mouse. There’s no brain size test…how would we do that? We do let Gibbon bring uplevels, he usually just chooses not to. Pressing buttons is optional, staying alive is encouraged, and just kind of running around hoping not to be noticed is tolerated (in BB verbage that’s called tactics). And Vrael is being way too rough on himself, he’s par but not sub-par, certainly not awful, but as he notes we have to take who shows up and even when we tell him the wrong venue he finds his way to the match anyway.

To be fair, we have three different roles: Melee is supposed to run and not die while being noticed. Support is supposed to run and not die while trying to stay unnoticed. Then Lord Vrael kills everything for us while the rest of us ask for heals and banners.

And just to clear things up here and now, when I die, it’s usually because I’m really thirsty and the beer can’t wait until next round.

I was at the voting area after the votes had been tallied. I couldn’t place any more votes for buttons, which I thought were going to let me continue working towards one of the minis, but apparently not. At any rate, I figured I should probably be able to sell the tokens to the guy who would sell them for gold, but even he didn’t want them. So, with no apparent use left and a full bank, I destroyed them. I’m not sure why they couldn’t have patched in the ability to sell to a vendor at the same time they closed voting. And I really don’t know why the buttons were not given any value, now that they can’t be used to continue progressing towards achievements.

Minor annoyances, but considering how hard of a time I used to have getting gold, I would’ve been pretty kittened off as a newbie destroying a couple stacks of these with no apparent use for them.

You should be careful when making video call outs.

Next time, make sure your opponent doesn’t have better footage than you do.

Seriously? That’s the best you’ve got vs. ZERG? Well, you guys fought the unorganized uplevels at the front very effectively, but that is certainly not “zerging the zerg” when you’re staying within feet of your invulnerability zone, that we know better than to get into. [Os] is a guild we recognize and make sure we’re ready for, but try finding some footage of you actually fighting us if you want to call us out…

The only thing from ZERG getting pwnd in that video was my gin.

Haz.9864:

Thats the difference Between bp and other servers. Other servers see that as a roamer and let them go fight other smaller opponents. Heck even 1-2 or 1-3 is fair. Bp thinks hyuck let’s chase them all over the map with 20 people.

I can’t believe u chased down my poor quaggon.

Really? Because I cannot think of a single time any server has let me run by as a solo roamer.

Fraeg.9837:

shout out to the guild [HOWL] you folks have some serious sack and you get a +1 for tenacity in seeking out superior numbers multiple times.

That’s true. They definitely didn’t run when we saw them.

Personally, I think A-Net is finally applying their ranking system correctly by juggling the matchups around a bit. It keeps it from being stale, even if there are frustrating matchups at times. And by varying who we play, the ranks will have a better chance to fall out where we should be (other than changes caused by mass-transferring, grass-is-greener guilds). There is some amazingly HUGE variation in WVW prowess among all the servers, so unless you’re in a server pinned at one of the ends, you’re going to have some weeks you get roll the other servers, and some where you just try not to die too much.

Even when you are up against servers of neighboring ranks, you can get major variations at different times because some servers get most of their points overnight, while others are lucky to have more than a few people in each zone. Being stuck fighting the same server over and over because you roll them at primetime and they cap at night (or vice versa) is worse IMO.

So, kudos to A-Net for finally getting the matchup system right, given the 24/7 gameplay for a single match.

THE Dentist.5960:

Yeah definitely not a single Zerg tonight……

I did laugh though when the entire ZERG guild chased 1 Lone Ranger to bay. Red is dead right?

Sometimes, we just can’t allow anyone to run away. Besides the 1c bounties from Stylii get me ever so closer to a legendary weapon!

THE Dentist.5960:

So NSP is already at a disadvantage with man power, why would a guy destroy our precious golem resources? Taking and destroying two brand new Omega and 4 Alphas that I know of.

Hjhjhjhj is toon name, Account name is Gondaulgrym.9850.

SS taken after he killed an alpha at our garrison and was repairing.

Anyone from either Kaining or BP heard of that account name please do the right thing and mass report him.

Thank you!

Your friendly lone ranger!

I will never understand the mentality of people who enjoy playing games in such a way. We’ve certainly seen our share of these types on BP, too.

Flame ram fights? o.O That sounds like a battle of stable internet connectivity and latency with only two skills and no movement. I’m assuming there must be more to it than that, or you wouldn’t bother, though.

@Mighty Helm : Temporal Curtain is set so if you already have swiftness, it won’t reapply. It is to prevent ludicrous swiftness uptime by going in and out of the curtain repetedly. As for why it doesn’t behave like Mark of Swiftness (guardian staff #3, increase actual duration by a small amount instead of full amount), I have no answer, but it still don’t qualify as a bug.
And I never seen (nor heard) it not work when you don’t have swiftness already (unlike Mark of Swiftness).

I would have to say this is still a bug, since swiftness is supposed to stack in duration, and if you have swiftness from a completely different source, the curtain does not stack more as it should. I agree it shouldn’t let you keep running through the same field to continually stack more, but I should be able to get swiftness when hitting a fresh curtain with 1s of swiftness left from some other source. Having to slow down first is terrible for a class that only gets a base speed increase with active illusions (doesn’t work very well out-of-combat).

I’ve had mouse click targeting issues with this game in the past, and it seems to come and go with patches, but today’s patch has broken it such that only the right-click stops working for targeting, and so that it happens very quickly in WvW. As usual, this doesn’t appear to be game-breaking on the surface until you get into a vary large battle, and have the game set to not auto-target for skills (b/c that is very bad when you’re trying to ride the lightning without entering combat or heading off in some other direction).

Interesting. This latest maintenance got rid of extremely choppy mouse response that was introduced during the 1/28 patch. From then until this last patch with no notes, I stopped getting the issue where I could suddenly lose the ability to click target. With this latest patch, I am happier not having the choppiness issues, but the click-target bug has been re-introduced. I can’t wait for the patch when I have zero mouse issues, but I assumed they may have actually reverted some changes in their mouse handling.

I have a wireless Logitech (G700 I think…not on my home PC now), and have noticed that ever since the last patch, I get horrendous choppiness of mouse movement. the cursor jerks around on the screen, making targeting items for clicking difficult, as well as dropping AoEs. Using either single click to spin my camera will occasionally target something new in-between, as if I had let off the button and re-clicked it. I have mostly given up on jumping puzzles for the time being because holding in the left and right click together to move forward will randomly stop and restart, which means guaranteed falling if I’m in the middle of a long jump.

this happens to me a lot in WvWvW and Lion’s Arch, so I have suspected it is somehow related to server-side input lag, but I’m just guessing. there have been other indications of increased input lag that is not present over my voice comm at the same time. I have confirmed that it doesn’t matter which mouse profile I use (I change mine manually, rather than automatically by application), and that everything is 100% fine while tabbed out of the game using any other program I have tried so far. This is also a definitively new issue beginning immediately after the 1/28 patch.

when the issue has gotten bad enough that I give up and log out, I have run tests on my connection, confirming 50M down and 3-4M up with no dropped packets. again, even when it is happening, it doesn’t seem to be everywhere. but since I enjoy spending the majority of my game time in WvWvW, with some Lion’s Arch in between, this has been a game-breaker for me.

I should also note that my hardware configuration hasn’t changed since I got this game during the pre-order. I have not changed any drivers since then either. Up until now, I hadn’t had any hardware issues. I do get game crashes intermittently (twice one night, then nothing for a few weeks), and every one I have read said it was a memory crash, usually with the game trying to write to address 0, although recently I saw it crash trying to write to address 1 once (both of which I presumed were game errors trying to use invalid addresses). other addresses I have seen appear to be more legitimate, but long runs of memtest show no errors, and no other program I use crashes.

I’ve also had this happen by being near a breakout event.

This has been a sore issue for my tiny guild running dungeons. One of us is at the bank and grabs potions specific to the baddies in the dungeon we will be running. They grab for everyone, since other people ran out to the dungeon, unlocking the map to get there. Since we cannot trade while standing next to each other, they start mailing out the goodies to people on their guild AND friends lists, yet they got stopped after the first two for spamming. The only way I know of for us to get around this is to know it will happen ahead of time, and basically take a few of the stack and pass the rest, so that everyone uses one message to get everyone the pots/food they need. Or transport your guild vault if that is an available option (it wasn’t for us the first couple of times we ran into this issue).

This happens to me every few times I play, and only seems to be fixed by a restart. I do not recall for sure if I have had left or right-clicking still working while the other was not, but I have definitely had both go out before. I can still turn my camera with either button, and I can continue to move forward with both buttons.
