I am going to add another point to my previous post…

4. Megaservers allow griefing at Fire Shaman: I am currently at a fire shaman event where a player is intentionally resetting the fire elemental phase. Every one is begging this player to stop and he will not. We are all shedding tears. Time is wasted. GG.

Game Updates: Guild World Events, Megaservers, WvW

I do not like the set schedules for bosses, AT ALL. Set times are very inconvenient for people who work 9-5 jobs or have other real life obligations. Events no longer feel dynamic… They feel very restricting, as you only have amount of time to be there or risk being too late to get a tag.

One aspect of the megaserver changes was the ability of playing with a majority of my friends and guildies. I am from a big guild that has a few hundred online at a time and its great to have everyone on the same page. However, I’ve observed:
1. I almost never see my guildies at bosses, only the ones who happen to be in group with me.
2. During tonight’s guild missions, essentially every guild was trying to do theirs. However, our members got scattered and it was difficult finding a server to house a majority of our members.
3. BUGS GALORE! I have noticed a lot of trouble with megadestroyer; players cooperate nicely and get all the pre-events done… Only to discover the chain is bugged. Now these 150+ people have to scramble to get into an unbugged server, and not everyone can make it

If the system cannot be reverted, at least improve it and fulfill the initial promises

Wow, I finally got enough gems to buy a second set and I can’t make the calf either.

Please fix it soon x.x

Kudzu's Bowstring

in Suggestions

Posted by: Ethereal.1782

Last night I got my Kudzu and the first thing I noticed was how strange the bowstring looks relative to the rest of the weapon. To me, it looks very tacky between the floating petals on both ends of the bow stave.

Although it’s not a big deal… I would still like to suggest polishing the string’s “look” so that it coordinates with the sylvari (?) holding the golden arrow on the bow itself, and the golden/flowery shots in combat. My idea: no bowstring when the weapon is not actively shooting. When it is used in combat/skills, maybe a faint golden glow suggesting a bow string would be a nice replacement.

If anyone else has ideas feel free to piggyback, thanks for reading

Constant Network Error

I have disconnected multiple times since this noon, I get a network error, then either kicked to character select or a white screen with the error. Afterwards I can’t get back on that character; when switching to an alt and back on the char with the error I can finally return.

I will be sending a ticket after this post, I was just wondering if this has been happening to anyone else?

I apologize if this has been mentioned elsewhere, too many threads to look through

I just did the frozen maw event on sor and it is the second time I have looted the chest (first time during the reset) and got no rare. The first time I sent in a ticket ingame but this time I was too lazy. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem with frozen maw?

Happened to my static group… We were 2 runs short of finishing that dungeon once and for all. Too bad we did not have a mesmer :[

From experience of multiple friends/guild members, reward tokens are never refunded.

Training

in Suggestions

Posted by: Ethereal.1782

Ethereal.1782

I understand that training is not an exploit nor violating the rules of conduct! Keep in mind you and I may not be on the same server.

Lately, regardless of where I go… Whether its cursed shore (mad ori rush) or the mad king’s labyrinth (train to the zerg), training seems second to breathing. I only had the urge to write this because recently, I was trained 4 times by players who are trying to reach zergs in the labyrinth. Unlike my 80 ranger, my 11 engineer struggles to deal with over 4 mobs with low level gear

The first few weeks players were pretty courteous and I rarely got trained. If I did get trained, the player would return to help kill the mobs. However, the past 2 months or so I continuously get trained wherever I went and players VERY RARELY stopped to politely taking care of their mess. It seems as if people are intentionally taking advantage of the aggro mechanics; running the mobs in front of people they wish to train so that they can: reach an ori node/reach a zerg/reach an event/be sadistic all without clearing mobs and leaving it to the poor soul they trained. I am generalizing behavior of SOME and not all players, it is still very irritating /frustrating and perhaps could use an adjustment. I’m not sure how the system could be adjusted but, if anything can be done I think certain players would welcome the change!

Tl;dr: Training is sometimes very irritating /frustrating and perhaps some adjustment can be made to avoid training!

No Tokens reward in Twilight Arbor

This happened to my group a while ago but hasn’t happened again since /knockonwood. That doesn’t mean we aren’t paranoid about it (since we’re taking the time to do them). It’s annoying to run a dungeon, complete it, and hyperventilate if the cutscene is late even by a milisecond. It’s nerve wracking…

Here was our post, unaddressed of course https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Bug-No-reward-for-exp-dungeon/

Same with SBI, although I only did one puzzle (sunnyhill/mistwrought vault).

Pet skill bug

I don’t think that’s a bug… in most cases if you are on the same realm as someone going into stealth you can see a vague outline of them. Mobs and people from the opposing servers/team don’t see anything.

Not sure if things changed with the recent patches but… When I was trying to do this vista it kept saying the content was disabled. Someone who got up there said to spam F near the catapult and I finally got a load screen to the top of the tower.

Worth a try if it’s still applicable!

Taming Sharks

Posted by: Ethereal.1782

Disclaimer: I am not implying I hate sharks and that we should not be able to have them as aquatic pets! I actually love sharks (but not as much as dolphins…).

Sharks in Guild Wars 2 are the type of sharks that are not tamable in real life… These sharks look like tiger sharks (which are pretty dangerous). They would not normally follow human commands nor following you around without the urge to maul you, eat you, etc. Yet by pressing F, we can tame them like nothing.

Dolphins however, are easily tamable in real life but not so in Guild Wars 2. Why can’t we tame dolphins as aquatic pets? I suggest to have them available in the future at some point… It doesn’t really make sense to me how a shark, but not a dolphin can be tamed. I’ve always wanted to play an mmo with dolphins as pets… cough While there are better things to suggest, there’s no harm in trying :P. Thanks for reading!
