Guild Wars 2

Wolfey.3407:

since you support GMT why not the other 38 that are neglected hmmmm?

why what time zone are u in?

Gilosean.3805:

Even easier – hit B, click Go To WvW, pick your server’s borderland, find the Lion’s Arch gate, and go through.

good point… forgot about WvWvW

Dreadflame.6823:

Interesting…so all i need is to find a gate in the black citadel that can get me to lion’s arch? I must have missed it, gotta explore my city a bit more XD. Thank you all for the useful info. Best wishes

crossed swords icon at top left of screen (PVP)…hit the ‘enter the heart of the mists’ button…do the short tutorial (5-10mins tops)….go through the asura gate in front of you…. you are now in lions arch

Rump Buffalo.2594:

Lava axe is still overshadowed by fiery greatsword

this is because greatsword is an elite, while lava axe is a noraml utility

i could understand it if it was the same ability that got put on CD, but 2 completely different abilities, maybe one with a much much longer CD, thus penalising u for using one skill above water say and needing a different ability attached to the same button underwater seems a bit harsh take for example glyph of elemental, when u go underwater it becomes COMPLETELY useless as it drowns immediatly, but u are now on CD of w/e ability is in that slot,,,, seems unfair to me….. but that is merely my opinion

hi, i dont know if this has been said before but here goes…

i use armor of earth under water, and mist form above water, and have them both bound to the same action bar ‘slot’.
if i am underwater and use armor of earth, and then go onto land, i find that mist form is on CD even when it hasnt been used, the same goes for using mist form, then going into the water, armor of earth will then be on CD

is this a known bug?

i must say i love the new dungeon, and did anyone notice the reference to a certain long time blogger/guide writer? little clue…. check the name of the siegemaster at the first gate in the ‘charr take over ascalon’ fractal

i dont know if this is what u mean, and i am sorry that i cant say what it makes but i dont have enough vials at the moment…. but here goes

5 vials of condensed mists essence
1 mystic coin
1 glob of ectoplasm
1 fractal relic

this makes something, tho as stated previously i do not have enough vials (only got 1 atm )

hope this helps

i just tried the mystic forge to see if the were of any use, and it seems that 5 of those, an ecto (had no number under it when i put 2 in) a mystic coin (again no number, tho this time one was in the slot) and the new dungeon token from the fractals (no number, but i had 25 in there) make….. something…. didnt have enough mists essences

anybody know what this recipe makes?

I would like to know where you found this list of patch notes as all i can find when googling is the content of the special weekend. Nothing about balance tweaks anywhere.

in the news and announcements subforum

error code 42:6:3:2060 here, kicked when exiting personal story, and now cannot log back in

juxo.7129:

same here

error code 42:6:3:2060

same here, finished a personal story quest, went to load back into gandaren fields, got kicked from server, and now when i try to log in i get the same error code

Murdock also stated current Legendary items will receive stat bumps to Ascendancy’s level to maintain the appeal of undertaking the enormous resource and time efforts to get them.

bolded the part of the statement that I read so it shouldnt be too difficult to read

and as for the ‘the skins are the reason to grind’ why would u grind for weeks on end just to have something that looks different, but has the EXACT SAME STATS…. seems a waste of time (in MY OPINION)

Because I play a character that excels in what he does by mine and his abilities, not by his clothing. Armor is mainly for the looks, that’s why it does not progress.

Why they don’t boost legendaries to superior levels is beyond my understanding. The veil is gone, we all see it’s WoW 2.0 here, why not make them worth my while now?

i think what u are trying to say is skill>gear, which i completely agree with….. but that begs the question how is an extra (from the screenshot posted) 5 power 5 precision and 3% magic find going to make an unskilled player better than a skilled player….

Legendaries aren’t getting stat-boosted this weekend. Anyone saying that is just proving that they didn’t read carefully enough.

Murdock also stated current Legendary items will receive stat bumps to Ascendancy’s level to maintain the appeal of undertaking the enormous resource and time efforts to get them

so after reading that do u agree legendaries are not being stat-boosted?

and as for the ‘the skins are the reason to grind’ why would u grind for weeks on end just to have something that looks different, but has the EXACT SAME STATS…. seems a waste of time (in MY OPINION)

many people are complaining about how legendaries used to be the same as exotics, and now due to the ascended gear, the legendaries are being bumped up in stats… well here is my opinion on legendaries….

to make a legendary u need 575,000 karma at least (grinding for god knows how long), hundreds of gold (again grinding for a long time) and plenty of other things that are also grindfests…

so in essence what ppl are saying is that ppl who grind for weeks to get a legendary should not have anything else other than a different skin

that dude that just reached 80 should be able to equip the exact same statted (is that even a word) item as that other person who has grinded the required mats for a legendary for the last few weeks….

that begs the question what is the point of a legendary weapon if it is exaclty the same as an exotic…. why bother spending an age to make it look slightly different

but this is just my opinion…

Please do not argue based on fallacies. ANET is introducing gear treadmill to please wow crybabies by deviating from the core principle of this franchise. That’s the issue here.

so what u are saying is they shouldnt facilitate the ‘WoW crybabies’ but should instead facilitate the ‘GW1 crybabies’ contradictory much?

i assume this post will be deleted again, as my last post pointing out my OPINION was…. oh well my opinion doesnt count for much it seems……

Except you’re insulting GW1 players who have 10x the right to voice their opinion of GW2 than MMO hoppers do. Do us a favour, yeah. Please learn what you’re talking about before insulting people.

i spent the same money as u did to buy the game GUILD WARS TWO (read not guild wars ONE) what makes u think u have any more right than i do to voice my OPINION?

Sabull.5670:

elementalist should not be boosted, nor made easier. Other classes should be made harder.

this is exactly my opinion!

Siliconhobbit.4361:

• I love the staff. It’s my main weapon and I enjoy the range and AOE it provides. I tried Dagger/Dagger and just could not enjoy it.

so u were able to discern that the OP liked swiftness but u somehow missed the bolded statement?

this has been known for a long time yet still no fix >.<

i myself as a necro am faced with the ‘obstructed’ message if i am stationary, yet if i start to move, i can be right next to the burrow, and get the message ‘out of range’

it is not a game changing bug as such, but here goes…

i have completed every hint in the hint tab at top of screen (far right) except the one about mail, i have 15 mails in my mailbox, and every time i complete a heart or DE, i assume i get a new mail as i hear the sound and the mail icon at top flashes slightly yet still shows 15 mails, and i do not get the hint popup that tells me my mail is full and i need to delete more mails to recieve more…… is this a known bug?

sorry if this has been discuused before, but it has only just happened to me personally

is it working as intended that when i PuG a dungeon, and somebody else enters the dungeon first, thereby making the dungeon ‘their’ dungeon as such, and we kill last boss, the person who ‘owns’ the dungeon immediatly looting the chest and leaving the dungeon, thereby preventing the other players in the dungeon from being able to loot the chest at the end of the dungeon?

if this is indeed working as intended, i feel this is VERY unfair to 4 out of 5 ppl in the group.

for what its worth, i play D/D and my ‘normal battle sequence’ on single target mobs is as follows

fire attunement
3-2-4-5
switch to earth
4-2
switch to air
5-4-3-2

by this point the target is normally dead, if not however i continue auto attacking in air, and maybe switch back to fire if the extra damage is needed

just a little update as i have DC’d again with the same error message, this is some of what is said in it

Model ‘0×079e4e’: Can’t link child ‘0×079d49’ to parent bone ‘root’, there’s no bone with that name. Linking to root instead
Model ‘0×079e4e’: Can’t unlink child ‘0×079d49’ from parent bone ‘root’, there’s no bone with that name.

would also like to say i only DC when i am in a lions arch overflow, if i am anywhere else, i dont DC (surprisingly even the MK dungeon is fine)

so, since the ‘unmissable event’, i been able to run the dungeon once, and now i am getting constantly disconnected from the server.

i am able to log in, play for 2-3mins and then the game crashes, i login again, and again am able to play for 2-3mins before i get DC’d again, and this has been happening constantly since the lion statue event.

i have noticed also that i get the same error ‘report’ concerning a ‘child’ not being able to do something with a parent ‘bone’ as the ‘bone’ doesnt exist (if that is any help at all

superior sigil of luck is 0.6% per stack not 6% so it is in fact 15% not 150%

i will add my most hated instance of this ‘bug’

AC explore path one (hodgins or w/e his name is)

the room where all the burrows spawn at the bottom of the fire trapped stairs

first burrow not an issue

second burrow, if i switch to deathshroud as i am running in, the first lifeblast goes off alright, but as soon as any mob spawns, i get ‘obstructed’ now if i move to the rear of the burrow, the message changes from ‘obstructed’ to ‘out of range’ even when i am stood ON the burrow, and this happens for the rest of the burrows in this ‘event’ this also happens on the path 3 event where u have to protect the exxence collector thingies for the asura dude, the first burrow gives me no issues whatsoever, yet all the subsequent burrows either give ‘obstructed’ ‘out of range’ and primarilly on deathshroud ‘1’ and any other single target attack that has a mob in the path of the projectile (even if there was a clear path when i hit the attack, and a mob decide to run in fromt of it as it is flying towards the target [staff auto attack i am looking at you here…])

i have found this to happen to me also, in that EVERY single mob in a pack will target me (may have something to do with my constant use of epidemic but still).

they target me until i go down, and then maybe 50% of them will go for teammates while the rest are still on me, if i am able to rally, AS SOON as it happens (the rally) the mobs turn STRAIGHT towards me again, and if i go down and die, as soon as i get within visible sight of the mobs they run straight towards me completely ignoring all my party members.

i have also tried it where i give my fellow teammates AT LEAST 30secs after the pull before i start to damage…. and sure enough, Blood is Power + epidemic gives me INSTANT agro of EVERYTHING…

dont know if it happened to u, but after the update i was able to teleport into the ‘instance’ with absolutely no issues whatsoever, however, now i want to leave i cannot without paying for a waypoint as the door refuses to open on the way out.

it seems strange to me that the instance is free to enter, yet to leave u HAVE to pay for a waypoint

i love how ppl are saying ‘go read the e-mail they sent u’ i and other members of my guild chatting on vent recieved no e-mail whatsoever…..

from what i gather all ‘boss’ mobs have a boon called defiant and nshakable, cant remember which is which, but one of them will have a stack number, and the other wont. the one with the stack number means that the mob is immune to all hard CC (knockback, stun, fear and some others cant remember ) until that stack number is gone (by using those CCs)

so for example mob has 3 stacks of defiant (i think thats the stacking one)

i hit mob with a stun, it fails with ‘immune’ message

mob now has 2 stacks left

someone hits boss with a knockback, again it fails due to the boon with the message ‘immune’

mob has 1 stack left

a 3rd person hits the mob with another stun, and again the boss is ‘immune’

boss has 0 stacks left

someone hits the mob with a knockback and the boss is knocked back, and due to the other boon returns to 3 stacks of the first boon and the process starts over again

Karther.7481:

The idea of keeping Marks and Wells as they are for the confusion has occurred to me, but in all honesty I don’t think that should happen. Every other profession has very distinctive abilities.

Identical abilities can also be harmful.

An example of it being harmful is the fact that two of our Marks and two of our Wells help allies. Our allies don’t actually know which circles they should be stepping into and which they don’t need to.

about the damaging/healing wells and such needing different visuals…. i couldnt agree more!!!

my bad i thought it showed the full 15% tax :P

as far as i am aware, the 15% total tax is now shown as ‘profits’ or something like that when u post an item/stack onto the TP

i have just run HotW explorable (butcher path) and upon killing the last boss, it took a while for the reward window to come up, which showed i had 45 tokens, i then get kicked from the instance as the grp leader left the grp (i am only assuming this is why i got kicked, as it happened as soon as he left) and when i appeared outside the instance, the window now said that i only had ONE token for the entire run!
