Guild Wars 2

Well, I don’t want to be rude to Anet or anything, but in most games support tools are very much alive and thought out before the game is released for these very issues.

Also it was a trial account, so it should no longer be in existence —or perhaps you shouldn’t be able to send mail to an account that doesn’t have a game attached to it after the trial period.

No offense but I am kind of frustrated that three months down the line and only now they are creating support tools for these situations. Besides from the dev post above it is possible to access the account and resend it (considering it will never be used again) but apparently I don’t meet the criteria… so that has me fuming more.

But a mail expiry would be a really nice thought.

I am also assuming any support tools created after this day won’t be able to get said item in the future, right?

And don’t get me wrong, I do really love Guild Wars (been playing it since beta), but this whole situation has really irked me. >.<

While I understand that accidently sending mail to a person who picks it up and sells it/salvages it/ etc etc, cannot be returned —I accidently sent mail to a beta account of a friend of mine that he will never use again because he doesn’t know the password. So the mail is there, waiting to be picked up on that account, sent by me, but cannot be retrieved. Meaning the item exists (Which is an Orichalcum Amulet that cost him around 2-3gold) and hasn’t been taken by a stranger.

My question is why can’t this be returned? I get that destroyed or sold items cannot be tracked yet, but this item is still around, on an account that won’t be used.

I am confused. I sent a ticket in and was told it cannot be returned, but all it would take is to just enter that account and resend the mail… :/

No reward here either. >.>

It isnt just the particular face. There are a few that get this weird look in the eye WHEN you shrink the pupils past the halfway mark. Enlarging the pupils doesn’t seem to have an effect (from what i’ve tested), but as soon as you shrink them, this bug appears.

This has been a problem since launch, I made a thread about it about two months ago. Since then I remade my sylvari and just blacked out the entire eye (if I couldn’t have small pupils then i’d have no pupils.) And I’m disappointed to note that this STILL has not been fixed.

Here are some examples:

THIS happens to my female Asura. I have the exact same face so it may have something to do with that. On certain cut-scenes she is totally normal, but in others she gets this drunken appearance where her eyelids barely open (the front one closes during blinking and seems to go through her lower lid).

However, don’t mean to sound angry at Anet or anything, but I rarely see these types of things get fixed (the sylvari eye bug has been there since launch). So don’t hold your breath!

I had this occur only when i played WvW and there was a large battle happening. However after the last update I had it happen during the Claw of Jormag fight (last night) right when he was at 10% health. The game never crashes until this sound occurs, so of course right afterwards the game crashed and all that time spent was wasted (as I didn’t get any credit for it.) Please fix this…

After two months this still has not been fixed… >.> I opted for just going fully black eye but, cmon Anet!

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. I have been standing around, as so have many others for over 30 minutes, for an event to start even though my friend, who is on the main channel on blackgate had it happen. In the overflow I did not. I have wasted my time with this, and this has really ticked me off. And now apparently I missed it because it occurred but not in my overflow.

Please just stop doing these one timed events. Or else get your acts together and make it work. This is putting a bad taste in my mouth, and I have been supportive of this game since day one.

I’m sorry if I personally offended you, but if you go back and read my post I actually claimed that this new set of gear is to offset the journey between Exotic and Legendary. I see absolutely no evidence that they will continue to add higher tiers of gear after this. The blog post was quite clear, the “legendary wall” as they put it, discouraged a large % of the player base from playing the game. There was this HUGE jump in progression from the amount of work to get an exotic to the amount of work to get a legendary.

They are attempting to fix this problem by the introduction of Ascended gear which they will slowly add to the game. I have seen no reference, no hint of and no evidence for this prevailing theory that they are going to be adding a new tier of gear every 2 months from this point on. It seems from what evidence that we do have that this is a 1 time thing.

To put it in terms of your analogy, the sidewalk was too short for people, they made it longer. No treadmill just a longer sidewalk.

This. I completely agree. Everyone should calm down instead of turning into rabid dogs over something that hasn’t really been implemented yet. The whole ’I’m gunna quit cause of this blah blah" Without knowing the full details or seeing it through is quite childish.

-.-

Thankyou Zudet for speaking some sense.

Yes, let’s all cry about gear that hasn’t even been introduced yet. We should all just quit the game now without getting any further details cause we ALL know that everything will just be obsolete and this game will turn into a huge tredmill of gear.

Le sigh.

Seriously, imo the whole thing to me says “We are implementing gear that you’ll prob want to have to run this specific dungeon, and as the levels get harder in this dungeon your gear will upgrade with it.” It’s prob just a 10% dmg increase to ‘named mob’ etc.

Everyone stop going nutso over something that hasn’t even been fully explained. -.- It’s like watching the end of the world happen. Relax and be patient and wait for more details to emerge.

If they cut the prices of the Tier 3 armor now after I spent countless days getting the gold for it…. I’d be one angry customer. -.-

At least you’ll get to play it on Sat and Sun. I have class 3-6 on Friday, and work until 3:30 pm EST Sat and Sun… I’m starting to think I will never be able to partake in these events :/ …Which is a real shame since I love this game.

I’m starting to dislike one timed events. It would be nice if it was cycled every few hours so people who missed it could still take part in it.

Le sigh.

To think they did all this in the time they have been dealing with launch and stamping out bugs is awesome! I’m really excited for what the Christmas event will be! o3o

This event was the best halloween event I’ve ever seen in any of the mmos i’ve played. Well done Anet, well done.

IMO, the great sword skins are always amazing, while others are sub par to it. Unfortunately I don’t play any characters that use a great-sword atm, but I always take a look at the skins because they are, again in my opinion, always one of the best, and a lot of the time animated —while daggers kind of get the backburner. (Smaller sword skin)

The dagger legendary to me is no where near the greatsword(s). And the skins for halloween are just laughable (for daggers). I do hope other weapons get some love in the future. Maybe there is just more ideas for the greatsword skins and that’s why they always rock socks?

shrug

All I know is this one failed puzzle has me wanting to leave this game. Sad as I liked this game but a few days ago and have even spent $150 in the gem store in the last couple months. Oh well, spilt milk I guess.

You’re going to leave because of a puzzle… that just gives you an achievement…that really doesn’t mean much? LOL. This was the best thing i’ve heard all night. Ahaha, thank you. Thank you for that.

Hylozoist.5210:

It’s less about skill and more about luck when everybody’s thrown in together – and it becomes all but impossible to see platforms through the swarm of people trying to jump them.

That really reduces the awesomeness of it a fair amount – really should have taken advantage of instancing to reduce the number of people in it at once.

I have completed this tower probably over 50-70 times by now, most if not all times when the instance was full. I’ve completed it with Norn and Charr, and i’m the smallest sized human you can be.

Also it is instanced for I’ve been told I cannot join a clock tower because it is full. That’s why I think the amount of players allowed was completely intentional to make it harder.

Personal instancing would have made it extremely easy. What they could have done was turn everyone into skeletons or ghosts, all of equal size, to reduce the blockage of races. But it is completely doable with everyone in your way. And not just out of luck.

Yes! Lovvved it! Challenging and awesome! Hope you make a puzzle with this difficulty again! And don’t listen to the whiners!

They will lose customers because of a puzzle? Really? ahaha, wow. Well better get your butts moving then.

Honestly I have completed the tower probably over 50 times by now. I have over 800 bags, and you get maybe 16 every 2-3 runs. It is DOABLE. I think the whole, everyone in my way at the beginning IS the entire point. It is supposed to be hard. I also don’t think you NEED it for the title, as it doesn’t seem to count towards that achieve.

If it was solo instance it’d be 80% easier. If the goo wasn’t as fast it’d be even easier then that. Some things don’t just get handed to you, sometimes you need to accept that and either do it until you can or give up and move on. Not whine and complain until your given the prize like a child.

I love that it is a challenge. And I have been doing it over and over because I love it. Great puzzle Anet. Seriously, awesome. (Also took me a few hours to get it myself and once you do it’s seriously great.)

If you don’t get it this year there is always next year to pump up on your puzzle skills.

Think that may of been the point. With a group of people doing it it makes the jumping puzzle a lot harder. Although I do see your point, it made quite the challenge completing it.

+1 for me. Love Arah weapons but my colour scheme is black, red and gold, and a bright blue sword wouldn’t really.. you know, work.

Sucks, I start work at 3pm EST, which is when the event starts. Dislike that it is only a one time thing and not cycled. /cry

Hope this is alright to post here, it’s more ‘Other’ Art glitches.. Erm, not sure if you guys are aware but decreasing the size of sylvari irises causes a strange blackout/flat texture in one eye. I have a few screenshots to show you. It doesn’t occur when the pupil is normal size-big, only when you shrink the pupil.

It seems to be in a few faces, not all. So far I’ve only tested female Sylvari. (My main was to be a female sylvari, love the small pupils, but decided not to play one until the issue was fixed. So hope you guys can get to the bottom of it!)

I have stopped playing my Sylvari all together because of this issue (I am also crazy over appearances of my characters, and absolutely adore the tiny pupil look.) Which really sucks considering my Sylvari was going to be my main.

EDIT: So I found out that if you click the tab below the one you have selected, it opens up the exotic list and that is the armor you want to view.

I just had this issue and now i’m ticked off. It would have been better if I had encountered a bug earlier on in the story quest, but at the very last part of it…. Now i have to redo the entire thing, killing the same old boring undead mobs over and over and over again. I am not impressed.

I do hope they fix this soon. I do want to play my Sylvari female but I really dislike the larger pupils. Doesn’t make her as kitten looking!

Yeah, that face seems to be one of the only ones affected. I believe it has something to do with the way the irises look. Either the way it is detailed or the scale of how small the pupil can actually go. Face 6 on the faces tab also gets a strange detextured eye, however it is on the opposite side.

On the picture below, one of the eyes has obviously lost it’s appearance and also has a black smudge at the bottom of it. In the character creation screen it looks fine, once in game however, it becomes this:

EDIT: In another face where the pupil can go pretty small, you get the blank texture in one of the eyes. I believe this is Face 4. Although these texture don’t give you the wonky one up and one down pupil, the texture itself is still missing in a single eye.

Pic 2

Yeah, my human female has smaller irises and I have had no issue with the way she looked in any light source.
I have tested multiple Sylvari faces out with the smaller pupils, and they all end up with a bugged eye texture in only one of the eyes. Even adjusting the pupil size slightly (to the smaller end of the spectrum) causes the deformed texture.

So it isn’t just the Sylvari then?

I hope they fix this issue.

Not sure if this has been mentioned at all. I’ve given a bug report of this issue in game, but would like to post it here just in case other people have noticed it, and perhaps to see if it is being looked into.

While creating a Sylvari, you are given the option to make the pupils small (and I love the way the small pupils look.) However after awhile I noticed that the face, more specifically one of the eyes, seemed to have lost its texture. I thought this was just a problem on my end, so logged, etc. but nothing changed. So I asked a friend to create a Sylvari, and the problem really didn’t occur until after he changed the pupil size (the character looks fine in creation, it is once you get in game it messes up in most light sources). Even he had a good laugh about it.

Now I know some people will say, ‘Oh just don’t use small pupils.’ But the reality of the matter is that the option was put in game to be used and I love the way it looks. I’m frightened that my Sylvari will always look derpy… and was wondering if anyone has this issue (from my experiments it only bugs out when you shrink the pupils.) and if you guys at Anet are aware of the issue. (I know there are more pressing matters to focus on atm, just looking for some calm of mind!)

Also, in Beta it was fine. :X
