actually , i believe it’s a illusion. The animation is faster with the weapon stowed and slower with the weapon out but in fact you cover the same distance in both situation while you run.
In this game , the bigger your character, the slower the animations but the result is the same. Remember the buff in the Box-O-Fun that make your toon big as a Giant ? your running animation is super slow-motion but you travel the exact same distance as a Tiny Asura.
Like you said it’s an animation problem .. an inconstancy .. but you know .. Constancy and A.net do not go together, never
The other option if you really need auto targeting is to set a hot key to stow your weapon. If you are quick enough you use a shout then quickly hit your stow weapon button to cancel the auto attack.
My Reshade 3.0 was broke after the update. to make it work you need to manually put the files inside the bin64 folder and edit the ini with the correct path. https://reshade.me/
Now my streaming software(Mirillis Action) is broken and incompatible : Reshade 3.0 + Mirillis Action crash my game if i run both at the same time… i need to remove reshade to make it work and this is not an option … Gw2 is ugly as hell wihout it.
i dont know if it still the same today .. but i remember that i joined a group for heart and minds with 2 other players a while ago. They both died and ended in the penalty box and went immediately AFK. I finished the entire fight all by myself. Guess what … only the owner of the story instance can deliver the final killing blow on Mordremoth to finish the story. And i was not the one who started the story … i waited but the AFKers never returned … so i exited the game and i almost demolished my desk .
Is there away to display the serial key codes on the account page? The very first question asked when there’s a problem is what is the serial code. My guild wars 1 case is 12 years old, the key code is faded, I can’t read that. I’ve been recently electronically cataloging my key codes for multiple games as a fail safe. Blizzard: every key available. Guild Wars: I can’t see any of them. Please advise.
For Gw1 i believe you can see them in game if i remember correctly. In Gw1 Character selection screen you can see a button called ‘’account setting ’’ or something like that .. somewhere you can see the historical of all the codes you applied to your account .. including the codes for mini you find in magazine , special emote , auras , Expansion pack or accounts upgrade.
The sound on Quip was the ONLY reason I crafted it.
It’s obvious that many players crafted one or the other purely for their sound effects.
Because these items take so much effort to make; if you guys were to change the sound effects, it’s only fair you offer some sort of refund or compensation to their owners.
Unfortunately , There are players whose only goal is harass and annoy the others :
- The quip and dreamer user constantly shooting for no reason in the middle of a players group at the bank or at a Crafting station.
- Players with the Annoy-O-Tron backpack. If you have the misfortune to show your impatience , they will notice it , then follow you everywhere while jumping to annoy you even more.
the list can be long but Designers should think a little more before creating stuff like this . I mean .. it can be cool but in any case they should not becomes tools for harassment. Personally , i think the Chuka Bow is perfect , not too intrusive , Not annoying.
And now it all makes sense. Man I feel dum! Thanks. I think I got confused as, if I am not mistaken you can complete achievements on the HoT content on any character, as you play through it. It’s been a while since I went back!
Please don’t feel dumb , what is dumb is the design not you .. i think we should be eligible for all achievements on first try when starting a story. But apparently forcing everyone to replay again and again to unlock stuff is a way for the designer to add more ‘’ content ’’.
Any info on when and what the next weapon will be? Or at least will my mesmer like it?
I can guarantee these things:
We won’t get a second warning.
Whether it happens this Tuesday or in August, some people will be annoyed about it (and some of those will rant about it here).
Six months after the change, someone will necro one of the original threads and someone else will start a new thread about the unfairness of it (perhaps both in the same week).
Therefore, I recommend that if you are at all interested in either legendary, you finish Tier 3 ASAP. Don’t wait, don’t put off for tomorrow or next week. Or, resign yourself to a certain amount of frustration.
To be clear: I have no problem with ANet’s plans to adjust the recipes to be consistent. I just hope they (and we) are ready for the reactions (reasonable or otherwise) to the change.
and the complains will be about Shooshadoo which has a much cheaper change
what ? no it’s the opposite , i know because i have crafted Eureka
Current :
Eureka – Vision Crystal
shooso- Legendary Inscription
Exactly , 63k karma or 78G , it’s just bread crumbs.
Just stop your fashion show for a few days and you get your 78g
Present yourself 5 times or so at Tequalt and you’ll get your 63K
It amaze me on how this community react .. i mean when there is no more peanut butter to put on my toasts (/shrug) , i pick something else but when it happen in the GW2 community it a freaking heart attack and nothing else goes.
So they announced this change today because they knew The ’’neverhappyfolks’’ guild knocks on the door every time. On the other hand , they didn’t have a choice because the ’’neverhappyfolks’’ will accuse them for doing stealth changes. If you put both weapons in perspective , this change have no significant impact in the process of making them. It’s just bread crumbs.

Go play Aion instead , Gw2 don’t need more visual clutter … these wings are too big for Gw2 .. please no. There is enough visual junk in this game .. for example sometime i can’t even see my own character because someone use a Cosmic mining tool next to me.
Please fix this, every Account has 1 glider latest after 10 chests, I have now opened 36 chests just for the phantom glider and received not one!
It’s not true that “every account” has 1 glider after 10 chests. It’s random and the people reporting results are self-selecting, so it’s not a representative sample of actual drop rates.
Suppose the true rate is 1:10 as claimed. Then there’s over a 2% chance that someone will open 10 chests without getting one. In a game with tens or hundreds of thousands of accounts, it’s not surprising that a tons of people will open 10 chests. Someone has to be the one with bad luck.
Bad luck yes , i have 5 accounts .. i got crap on 4 of them with the free chest and i got a Grasping Phantom Glider on a NON-HOT account .. so i can’t even use it
So I realize this is beating a dead horse at this point but I feel its important to bring up. Since the game’s launch Detha Tremblebones has been a bit of an underachiever among her fellow Priory members. In Ascalonian Catacombs she leads you down Path 2 to defeat the Ghost Eater except when you get to the final room she suddenly chickens out and does nothing to start the Ghost Eater event.
This has been the case for four years. I believe its time she’s whipped into shape or let go for someone more capable.
There’s usually a reason why she fails to start the event and it can be prevented and/or worked around. I’m not saying that ANet shouldn’t fix it, but I’m saying it needn’t be a problem for most players.
It can be prevented by making detha die while pressing you in the flame turrets at the start of the dungeon. This will also cause her to always activate her event even on other paths.
Making Detha die like this is an exploit , i have reported this many time along with many other dungeon bug like the Chain pull to disable the first trap in AC story mode but unfortunately the dungeon are abandoned by the devs. The real problem is the speed runs where everyone run past everything , using waypoint while NPCS have not finished their conversation .. etc .. im not surprised when players complaint about bugged dungeon paths.
I am determined to conquer the Clocktower. I will be spending far, far too many hours in Labyrinth. And I can’t wait to get the new rewards.
We’re having a little dev meet-up on October 18th from 2:00 to 3:00 PM Pacific Time. Hope to see you there if you can make it, but anywhere and everywhere during the festival!
Fun fact : The Bloodstone Fen Portal Scroll became obsolete 3 days after release .. i think it’s a an unprecedented record for a new item. The main purpose to get this item was the Alts Bloodstone node farming but now since the the 28 July patch the Nodes are account-wide , so the scroll is now useless. Also they don’t want you to get a free port to a NPC merch to vendor your junk so this is why it don’t work inside Bloodstone Map.
I am not crazy , but i swear , i see candy corn nodes popping out of nowhere left and right. Appear and disappear in a blink of an eye All nodes comes from the fourth dimension , harvest them as fast as you can while they appear in ours .. lol
Jumping in here for a second to clarify things with you guys. At the time Gaile replied to you she had the most up to date information from the raid team. After reading through the thread more and discussing it as a team, it’s very clear that McLeod is considered to be an entry level boss by the community.
We’re going to fix the mastery unlock issue in an upcoming patch, as well as add the unlock to the Bandit Trio encounter. We apologize for any confusion that occurred, especially to Gaile to sending her the incorrect information!
THANK YOU !
You know you probably saved the will and perseverance of a entire guild with your post.
The customer support representative said “as far as I am aware”. He or she was clearly wrong. Gaile is interfacing directly with the raid team, which customer support representatives don’t do, so take what Gaile says as fact. It’s working as intended.
I wanted to give you some info from the team in relation to this situation: The Forsaken Thicket Mastery Track unlocks when a boss encounter has been completed. “Siege the Stronghold” is not considered a boss encounter, and thus will not unlock the Forsaken Thicket Mastery Track.
I hope that helps address your question about this particular mastery track and best of luck with Xera and Keep Construct!
i still haven’t received the response from my ticket #2260740 from GM Stinky Ghost on this issue. The GM asked me some specific questions and i answered. So ill wait.
i really believe this is wrong.
1- we defeated Mcleod the Silent
2- we all received a Legendary insight
3- we received the item that start and unlock the legendary armor collection.
4- we all saw that big Mcleod trophy in the middle of the fortress
5- In the Masteries panel its says that we need to enter Forsaken Thicket and kill a boss … we just did that. Last time i checked Forsaken Thicket include all 3 wings. So any Boss killed in a Raid wing should count .. not just VG.
big trophy = Boss , right ?
Mcleod the Silent is a Boss and the mastery is still locked. Fix it !
If i received a legendary insight it mean that i did something and progressed in a raid.
i think it’s a oversight .. and now A.net play the Violin .. ‘’ oh finally it’s not a true boss and it don’t count ’’ This kind attitude shock me and my entire group.
So yeah i earned about 253 magnetite shards just by trying hard and wipe on VG. Just do the math on how many attempts it was …. now we kill Mcleod the Silent and nope ! Not going to happen ,no mastery unlock for you losers !!! Thank you very much !
How did you kill Silent McLeod without raid mastery? Without the water mastery anyone would die when entering the cave, and if you have 4-5 people at least with raid mastery i find it odd that you cant kill VG.
EDIT : ive submited a ticket .. so let’s see what they have to say
Ok , actually 2 or 3 of us killed the VG outside of our guild attempts( by pugging or buying a VG kill ). But the rest of the group never killed VG. To clear things up we killed Silent McLeod and not the keep construct. We did have a Legendary Insight and the big boss Trophy , The legendary armor collection unlock , random loots and even some Turret fragments thingy for guild decoration. So it should count as a Boss … but no mastery unlock.
For the water mastery thing , it’s quite simple .. a single Mesmer ( with the mastery ) run in the cave and port the group on the other side .. this way we can get a small group to capture the towers and effectively skip the cave.
After hundred of wipes on the Vale Guardian and still unable to kill it, me and my fellows guildies decided to try the new raid wing Forsaken Thicket-Stronghold of the faithful. In a few attempts we managed to kill the first boss.
So we are here checking our loots and treasures ,cheering about getting our first Legendary insight and then the big disappointment : It didnt unlock the Forsaken Thicket mastery. In the Masteries panel its says that we need to enter Forsaken Thicket and kill a boss … we just did that… so why no unlock ?
Please, bring the vendor back and use an in-game mail to announce the grace period. This is not proper communication of a change at all.
Grace period is already expired : It was announced one month ago … lol.
They do what they can but you have to do your part of the job by reading the patch notes after an update. And please don’t tell me that you are not aware when your game update ……
seeing where this game is going now , so now at this point, why not turning this game Subscription based and dump this kitten Gems Store and all the crap that comes with it ?
blah blah your supporting the game blah blah
I heard quite enough of this violin , i know the song.
B.c everything in the Gem store is optional and nothing in it actually improves your performance or changes much. Its all just looks, other than character slots (but you dont really need it to play solidly).
You dont have to spend a gold/dime on it if you dont want to.
IMO the game is moving in a better direction now with Raids, wvw changes, pvp leagues etc…
If you arnt happy dont buy stuff on the gem store, ultimately that is the best way to speak to a company.
‘’ U dont have to spend money if you dont want to ’’’

You can .. in a sort of way .. already see what you own in the crafting materials storage.
If you have some crafting profession fully trained , you can use the crafting profession tab in the hero panel and browse the various recipes you own … this way you can see how many ecto you have .. or how many Mithril ore .. etc … by viewing the corresponding recipe.
yes you can already see but asking for access is too much .. numerous items in the game will lost value or become obsolete if you can directly access your stuff via the hero panel ( permanent contracts or other consumables )
BTW , gw2efficency to view your stuff is probably the best method
Most of the games profile are in the driver but sometime it stop to work.
Have you tried to make a custom profile for the Gw2 Client and force Crossfire ?
I haven’t partaken in this because I have been unaware / busy with dailies and work and such but it does sound like an exploit to me. I will jump in and give it a shot on the weekend.
I have reported this exploit and bug to Anet via the in game tool and forums. I suggest everyone else to do the same.
Need to bring this to anet’s attention.
ROFL .. Exploit ? is designed that way .. thx to mega servers. Often im at the Pegga WP in Malchor leap chopping the wood and the map close on me .. i say yes and im ported in another instance Poof ! i can loot the wood again ! is that an exploit ?? nooooooo.
You can do the same with the Silverwastes chest farm .. so AB is no different it’s by design. Not a Bug , not a Exploit.
a couple of years ago , before megaservers , you had to guest to another server to loot the ore nodes , a world event or find a open temple …. see ?? this hopping map method always existed … it’s just easier today end of the story.
i think the problem can be solved just by deactivating the Advanced Logistics mastery ( auto-loot ) after a few minutes of inactivity of your character ( not your pet/summons ) . This way you can’t loot while AFKing , and if you simulate any form of activity while AKFing you become bannable for using third-party programs.
Ok then, i’ll continue to report AFK farmers because 99% of them is not responding when you try to get their attention for several minutes or even hours by visiting them a couple of times in a entire evening of gameplay….. they are clearly not monitoring what they are doing ..
Firebringer was one of the weapons i crafted in the first year of the game (2012) This weapon never had a strong glow like the Fiery Dragon Sword or the legendary Torch Rodgort, at that time Cobalt was nonexistent. So im not sure what you mean by ‘’ Great Again ’’.
All nodes comes from the fourth dimension , harvest them as fast as you can while they appear in ours .. lol
