I don’t think you understand that this more of a demo like a sneak-peak, not a beta in terms of the start of implementation of PoF. It’s like a timed trail. Just to see if players like the basics of what will be offered with the expansion. Everyone will start on the same footing (more or less) when PoF comes out.
If a Bloodstone-Crazed Arcodus spawns in the middle of the first part of Vollym’s challenge where you fight all of the caged animals, and you kill all of the caged animals before killing the Arcodus, the end of that part/beginning of part 2 where you fight Vollym himself causes the Arcodus to despawn without rewarding anyone anything (for the Arcodus). The Arcodus’s event marker remains for a minute or so after it despawns and then disappears as well.
It’s a little awkward having to remember to manually select a target to mark for malice—could you make the Deadeye’s marking skill work with autotarget?
Quest: Help Charradist Estate Ranchers Attend to Cattle
Wodron Glens, Diessa Plateau
Pouring water over the stinky cows in this quest doesn’t usually clean them. You have to stand on a very certain spot right above them, or something. Or maybe it’s random. It’s just ridiculously hard to get those cows clean.
Edit: Trying to feed the cows doesn’t usually feed them, either.
- I tried stacking Zhaitaffys but every few seconds, I would lose the buff instead of stacking duration. I think that the sugar crash of a previous candy piece deletes the sugar rushes… or it could just be random.
- I consumed 250 but didn’t get the Zhaitaffy achievement, but that’s probably because Dragon Bash isn’t happening right now.
Could you make it so that we can deactivate a crafting discipline on its own? For roleplay?/customization purposes, I only want my engineer to have the jewelry craft, but I already added on the artificer craft.
If implemented, re-activation of the disciplines shouldn’t cost anything as long as you have the crafting slots for them.
I got a vista above a pipe in the town, and after watching the vista, I was no longer mounted (as normal) and I couldn’t really see my character. It had like a chunk of some maybe-armor that was visible and the rest of me was invisible. Despite being already dismounted, I couldn’t do anything except tail whip and dismount, so I dismounted. Dismounting made my character fall through the pipe and take damage even though the fall wasn’t high. But once I hit the ground, my skills bar went back to “tail whip or dismount” and I still couldn’t see myself. I dismounted yet again, this time falling through an entire building but being pushed to the side so I was outside of it, and hit the ground for more damage than the fall should’ve done again. I was back to normal after that—dismounted, could see myself, and had my skills bar back.
Well I think that harvesting makes sense to dismount, since you aren’t going to get that sickle into the ground while on top of a raptor >.> but checking out the bounty boards, talking to NPCs, and watching vista videos really oughtn’t dismount you.
I can’t start the game. Usually, when I start it, my screen goes black for about 10 seconds. This time, it gets stuck on the black screen such that I need to ctrl+alt+delete for task manager and cannot do anything else on my computer unless I forceably shut down gw2 :c
For the quest “Assist Arias in maintaining his garden” in Ogham Wilds, Caledon Forest, you’re transformed into a mossheart. But the walking animation is off. I think it might be because the legs move too fast and it just looks clunky and weird. If you slowed down the walking animation of the mossheart transformation, it would look a lot better.
I just did a successful Tangled Depths meta. I participated in the Nuhoch Lane and got the Nuhoch Lane Defender achievement, but did not get the Gerent Slayer achievement despite constantly DPSing it throughout the entire event. I also looted the Gerent Chest. I was downed when the Gerent actually died, but others got the achievement while they were dead. Is there a reason that I did not get the achievement?
Edit: Actually, I think I was alive when it actually died. But the second time it popped out from the underground (in total, it surfaced 3 times), I was entirely downed or dead, not getting a hit in. Only in the first and third sections did I actually hit it. Does this cause the achievement to not work?
Customized titles for 200gems each. We buy a title voucher, type in what title we want, and boom we have the title that we’ve always wanted =P Preferably unlimited amount of buys, but maybe some people would go overboard…
Restrictions:
- Cannot input a title that already exists in-game; not case-sensitive
- Needs a blacklist of inappropriate words
1. Interacting with siren songs in Balthazar’s area strikes up a story conversation with Taimi over the communicator every time—even after you’ve already completed the story.
2. Walking over the gambling area after already having gambled for the day triggers the red text that tells you are not worthy because you still haven’t cleaned up any of the areas.
I’ll just start off brutally:
I did not enjoy this episode or the map. Both felt very flat and shallow.
The story felt very linear. What I enjoyed especially about the Flashpoint episode was all of Taimi’s cute moments, i.e. when you heard her crashing over things to get to the transcommunicator or when she starts to say “Well what do you know, I was wrong—” right before a machine explodes. But your partner in One Path Ends doesn’t have much depth to her, her backstory is unoriginal, and her voice is annoying ;.; she sounds like she’s heavily condescending (but that could just be me).
The map also feels very blah. All of the hearts are basically the same and the map is literally flat except for the updrafts area and the jumping puzzle. And it’s really grey (which I understand is an appropriate theme here). But everything combined just makes this episode a disappointment.
Do more things that you did in Flashpoint/Draconis Mons in the future!
Being unable to complete the instance is an exaggeration—after a few minutes, I regain the use of my abilities.
All 3 times so far, it’s during some sort of fight.
Since yesterday, I’ve noticed that I will randomly be unable to use any of my abilities while inside instances. It’s not due to lag, since I can still chat normally. Yesterday, I was with someone re-doing a story, so he could fight for me. But today, I’m soloing the latest story and can’t complete it because I can’t fight…
Allow us to decorate our home instances >_> you don’t have to make new home areas, just make a shop of things that we can dump into our homes! rofl.
or the guild decorations that scribes make can also be used in our home.

My Story chapter 8. Victory or Death, section Armor Guard, task Defend the tank column. You step into the marked green circle’s edge and you get a cutscene of the leading NPC saying “Last chance to check your tanks—make it quick. We’re not staying long.” (more or less). Then you run a bit further and touch the other side of the marked circle and the same cutscene plays again.
Allow sorting of recipes by discipline in the Trading Post.
So I can just filter by chef recipes and buy all of them starting from the least expensive xD
I’m not sure how to make this happen, as the person I saw doing it wouldn’t tell me how to… but if you stand in a certain spot and throw the crab, you make it land on top of the Referee’s building, where no one can get it. This makes the game unplayable; all one person needs to do to win, then, is hold the crab long enough to get the highest score and throw the crab on top of the building. Please fix this. The minigame has become… boring?
Here is Vigil Marksman. Vigil Marksman likes to make his rounds. He especially likes to snoop inside the Vigil Hall in Divinity’s Reach, using the ceiling as a doorway. He then uses his magical air-bending powers to take an invisible stairway to the floor, where he sees something on his right and proceeds to turn, but then is teleported back up back to where he was supposed to be scouting. He waits awhile, and then comes back again. And again. And again.
I noticed that the item to teleport you into the Precocious Aurene instance is soulbound. Does this mean that the Cultural Attache items are only shown inside the instance per character, not account-wide?
Quaggans consider their babies to be “treasure” and keep them in deep camoflauged, protected caves. That and their ability to rage makes me think that they’re a capable species.
I’m not really sure. TERA has active fishing. I liked it, but since it required 100% of my attention, i only used it when farming levels or when none of my friends were online and i was super bored in the middle of a large and quiet classroom >.>"
GW2 player housing would be awesome, even if it’s all instanced. I’d have my own little hut made of something simple like wood and straw, and furnish it with nothing but a bed and fireplace and area to hang up all my meat.
Guy shorts would be fine. Can we start with more arm/chest-showing things? I want to see shirtless guys.
What? The lines are meant to indicate “trap area”. Circles are usually “damage areas”. Traps that do not trap you but damage you instead are also shown as circles. This has nothing to do with balance.
You don’t need to keep item collection items unless they’re also used to craft things. If an item goes into a collection, you’ll know because you’ll have an “Item Collection Achievement” option when you right click the item. And when you click that, your achievements section should have the item collected (usually items from that achievement are unlocked once you have it in inventory, with the exception of armors/gear which need to be salvaged or worn for skins and gear achievements). If the item is used for crafting, you’ll know because there’s a list of crafting skills in the item description. I haven’t found items that are important that don’t fit into those two categories except when there is an obvious in-game mail sent with it or the item’s description specifically says to keep it to find something else, e.g. Levvi’s Device. All of those “keep to find other things” can be destroyed once the other things are found. (Personally, I prefer to keep certain things just to have as my own collection. Do i need to buy more bank/bag space? Yes, but it’s entirely my own choice since I no longer have to keep those items).
As for the keys, i assume you mean Exalted Keys and Pact Crowbars and whatnot. There have been other threads suggesting “key rings”. I think it should be done. It’s hard to use them all up if you’re constantly running the maps that drop those keys, so a key ring that doesn’t take up my inventory space would be much appreciated. But this has been said before >.>"
In that case ask in Map for someone to list what’s currently showing. Tons of people are hauling the detectors around. In fact if you monitor Map chat in the spawn maps, you’ll see people commenting “X up” to say a specific one has shown on their detector.
.-. i guess i’m there at the wrong times then, cuz I went around a few of the spawn maps and no one knows what to do. most people tell me that their device isn’t showing anything, either.
as an update, i do get the sparkles. but in order to see it, i need to move my inventory all the way to the edge of my screen and spam the device 20 times. one out of 20 times, it’ll make a spark. the rest of the times, it’ll either not do anything or make a quick bubble that’s so faint, it could pass as a glare on my screen.
If none of the beasts are active for spawning, you’ll get a fizzle. Just a little sparkle. If they’re up, you’ll get a red cloud on top of an image of the type of critter that has gone bloodcrazed. They show up in front of where you are facing (which is why I said to face down hill — they tend to be in the ground a little).
I have max graphics settings, that may be a factor.
If it only works in max graphics, then I won’t be able to see them. I can only play on minimum settings.
I don’t get the fizzle/sparkle, either. It’s just a piece of junk in my inventory right now.
Wait, you’re actually get images? I’ve tried clicking it in different maps, always in a flat place, and I scroll my camera around and around myself to make sure I don’t miss anything, and I’m not getting anything. Neither are some others in multiple map chats.
Oh and I meant to ask as an aside – have you ever considered paying for it – the name that you did/do want?
I have considered making characters to sell their names because I’ve played TERA, and in that game, the name-selling business actually exists.
But then I thought about how no one in GW2 does it (publicly?) and I compared the communities of the two games.
If you peek into TERA forums… Don’t look. It’s so horrible. I’m not saying all of the players are horrible. Just most of the forums and feedback is >.>" i could totally go on a tangent talking about this. But anyway…
I think a reason that GW2 doesn’t have a name-selling business is because GW2 knows how to keep it friendly. You could easily hurt someone by listening to someone talking about their next rp character and then sniping that name and demanding payment to free the name. Then there’s always the problem of the name being sniped by a third party or the claim that it was sniped after the seller recieves payment and then things just go so wrong…
So. To sum up my awkward rant. I don’t think anyone should purposefully try to start up a name-selling business in GW2. If someone does PM you asking to buy your name and you were about to delete your character anyway, then by all means take the deal. If you want someone else’s name, ask them. Kindly. But i don’t want another game where map chat is filled with “Selling name. Bidding starts now” and all the greed and salt that goes with that bidding.
So now that i’ve answered your aside-question, i should probably answer your main question.
I personally make up my character’s name when i’m actually on the naming screen. I fit the name to how i customized that character just then using the previous screens (it fits in my head. Probably no one else’s <.<). My names sound like actual (first) names though, so they’re usually taken. I just end up having fun making up all these variations of the original named i wanted until one of them finally goes through. I end up with funky things like Quena >.>" if it means something in a show or another language, i wouldn’t know. I usually google to make sure nothing bad comes up xD
Embered, I think the suggestion is to have this for PvE, same way we have it in Bloodstone Fen now. Your concerns seem to be about PvP issues and so far we have not seen any intent on ANet’s part to add gliding to PvP, likely for a lot of the reasons you list.
I did think that it was, but I don’t see a current reason to add air combat in for PvE. What we have right now in Bloodstone is good without integrating ourselves into that chaotic world too much—which is what keeps it appropriately chaotic. If we were to be able to do everything the OP wants, Bloodstone would turn into a playroom. So I answered as if the suggestions could possibly be used in PvP.
Before suggesting things for PvE combat, there would need to be a map design for air creatures >.> someone should put on their designing hat and make an air map just for fun. No bottom safety land allowed. You fall below the lowest floating island, you die.
