Guild Wars 2

Please change it, or have a toggle for male/female. It just looks ridiculous on both races, especially Charr.

And as others here have mentioned, why is charr tail clipping and asura ears disappearing still happening? It’s been a problem since launch. I can understand not going back and fixing old armours where it happens as it would be a lot of work I imagine. But bringing out new armours with the tails and ears unaccounted for is pretty lazy.

Just adding a screen of my charr to boost this, as I love the hairstyle but not with this bug. Also to show it happens with all faces and eyecolours.

One of the female Charr hairstyles completely breaks your character’s eyes.

I’m annoyed they killed him off, I never had much of an issue with Trahearne, and it honestly felt like massive pandering to the “Trahearne is awful” crowd.

But, really, the true tragedy here was Scruffy. RIP in pieces.

khani.4786:

If they want it that badly they can try one of the solo friendly tournaments. I know I am. Will I get one? Probably not, but I am going to work my tail off trying to do it. I did it to get the Liadri mini, I can suck it up and face this challenge too.

I would try one of the solo friendly tournaments, but due to the fact I’m in EU I can’t.

Aztex.4895:

Giving something PVE players want is a good way to make them try PVP, but that kind of reward is only acceptable for casual and ingame playing and it should be something that gives progression. That’s why instead of the current leaderboards they should be creating a league with divisions, where only winning maches in the lowest division could give you mini pets. And Lavish lama only if they are promoted. Take mystic forge off the equation (there isnt one in PvP, so why do we have to use it?)
Anet made a good decision with offgame and serious Tournaments, but chose a bad reward for the target players playing them.

The title system needs to be remade NOW! It’s so useless right now that gives them no alternative to minis when looking for a reward that gives progression. Watch one of wooden potatoes videos about top 10 things he wants for feature pach, where he talks about titles and their potential.
We also need Unique skins and outfits for PVP. They have the same potential.

I completely agree with this!

Kousetsu.1627:

Ugh.. all these lamas suck… what an underwhelming and unexciting pvp reward :/

Like, even a title would sound more exciting to me or maybe some proper rewards like weapons skins

This is the dumb thing. There are a lot of PvE players who want these llamas and can’t get them because they’re rewards for PvP where the players don’t even want them. gg anet

OlrunTheBlade.1486:

Do keep in mind, however, that they are volunteers and there’s only so much work you can realistically expect them to do each week.

I don’t think anyone has unrealistic expectations for how much work volunteers are supposed to do. I think what people want is for Anet to provide a slightly more accessible way for people to obtain all three tiers of the Llama minipets. Nobody was attacking the people who work hard to host these tournaments.

You don’t need to win these tournaments to earn a Mini Llama—in most single-elimination events, you’ll only need to win a single round to earn a prize. As a general rule, placing in the top 50% of any of the following tournaments will earn you a reward. As a note, you can only earn one Mini Llama per week, but you can participate in as many events as you’d like.

Ah yes. After only 40 weeks you too can have all three tiers of your very own Llama Mini Pet unlocked!

Malediktus.9250:

Followedbyrocks.8751:

40 llamas? Wow. That’s slightly insane.

Anet loves insane things, just look at WvW achievements or black lion weapon collections.

Oh Anet you so wacky! Or sadistic. Probably just sadistic.

Basket of Boxes.1976:

The mini might be unlocked when you use it in the forge like skins are which means you would maybe lose any you already dropped in your wardrobe BUT if you just save the rest of them you can unlock them when you create the next level.

Sadly no, when you craft one new version of the mini llama, you unlock only the new mini pet in your inventory but if you want to unlock the skin you need to store it on your wardrobe (consequently you’ll lose it and you won’t able to use it in the mystic forge.)

In this video, he crafts the fancy version but he doesn’t unlock the skin, he only receives the new version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wek2nU3t10

Of course i’m not really 100% sure about it, i dunno if there are other examples about mini pet progression in the mystic forge.

Tossing minis in the forge does NOT unlock them in your wardrobe.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Unlocking-Minis-Question/first#post4368797

Thx, this means you need 40 mini llamas to unlock every version.

You can directly go for mini Lavish (27 mini llamas) but it won’t unlock previous versions.

40 llamas? Wow. That’s slightly insane.

Josh Davis.6015:

Hi all,

Trying to achieve the Lavish Llama at the current rate would be, as someone aptly noted, madness! The good news is, next week will bring some concrete details on how you can start earning them at a much more rapid pace through participating in select tournaments.

-Josh

Could this be… the return of in-game tournaments? HYPE!

All tournaments are already in-game. :P

When I said select tournaments, I mean our community events.

Are you allowed to say whether there’s going to be any other way to obtain Mini Llamas? 27 through community events isn’t exactly a fair way to get a mini for most of the playerbase, is it? I can understand wanting to make something prestigious, but this seems a tad over the top.

I’m invited too. It’d be interesting to know what the selection process was, and I’m wondering if it is to do with hours played or something. I’ve been playing since the headstart, have a decent amount of AP etc. so I wonder if it’s something to do with that.

I’ve been opening ToT bags every day since Halloween started and I’ve still yet to get the mini. I’m determined to get it, even if the game, Anet, and the RNG don’t want me to.

Yeah it’s a gold sink and I feel a little bit sick for falling into the trap, but I refuse to have my mini collection forever missing one mini just because of a very poor droprate choice.

You won’t beat me Anet.

Just out of interest… is anyone else still trying to get this Mini? I’ve been opening stacks of ToT bags nearly every day since Halloween and I STILL haven’t got it. Anyone else like me who has also lost their sanity?

^ This. Basically.

I still don’t understand why Anet can’t release new armour sets with no tail clipping. I can sort of forgive not modifying existing armours to remove tail clipping, but the fact they keep being too lazy to make new armours that don’t have this issue is getting very annoying.

And before someone says it, it’s clearly not a case of being too time consuming/too difficult for them to make armour that doesn’t tail clip. You can see from this new set that they did it for the light armour and then couldn’t be bothered to do it for medium and heavy.

At what point did Anet say it was supposed to represent any sort of hat? It’s a Tyrian hat, it’s not supposed to exactly mimic any real world style of hat.

I’m far more concerned with the horrible clipping issues with Charr tails and Asura ears getting fixed.

AlienMenace.7516:

I’m not saying I expect or feel entitled to a Mini Gwynefyrdd. I’m only letting the team know that my interaction with the system of trying to get one was not fun and wound up very disappointing even after a whole lot of work on my part.

Exactly my feelings as well. I appreciate that they want to have some rarity and prestige to this mini, and I don’t feel I should just be given one for logging into the game. I would however, have been grateful for being given a bit of a fairer chance at getting it.

I’ve lost count of the amount of ToT bags I’ve opened now, it’s possibly nearing about 50k I would suppose. I’ve still yet to get a Gwynefyrdd. It’s incredibly disappointing for me as up until this point I had every single available Mini in the game and loved collecting them. However, with this one I’ve hit a brick wall and can only pray that I’m eventually going to get lucky.

Needless to say though, it’s completely dashed my enjoyment of mini collecting and subsequently my enjoyment of the game as a whole. After opening so many bags and having such a battle with RNG I have very little desire to do much in game as the energy and enthusiasm has been drained out of me.

Gaile Gray.6029:

• One of our statisticians just checked the drop rate, and there is no error in the drop rate — it truly is dropping as designed.

laughs hysterically

Well, thanks for the clarification.

I think I’m going insane. I opened some more bags last night, got a Gift of the Moon, and wasn’t even happy about it because it wasn’t the mini. Sold it on the TP and used the gold to buy more bags. I’m losing it I swear.

I’ve opened something like 12,000 bags now and no sign of this mini. This is ridiculously frustrating and infuriating.

Donari.5237:

Ahhh … you are looking in the bank collectibles that vanish when emptied. I was looking in the hero panel.

Actually no, this is the wardrobe, not the collectibles tab in the bank. I might still be bugged though if the Dragon doesn’t show up in anyone else’s wardrobe.

Grabbed a quick screencap from my game for you guys…maybe my client is bugged or something because it’s still here for me.

Do Anet ever intend to release it? Does anyone else think it’s a bit ridiculous we’ve had a slot for this mini for months and can even preview it, yet there’s no obvious way of acquiring it? That empty slot is driving me nuts.

The boob window on female Charr looks very out of place. On female Asura it’s just downright creepy (Asura are too childlike in proportions. It honestly does squick me out a bit when I see skimpy armour on Asura.). It comes across as a very lazy move by Anet’s gemstore outfit designers to not fill in the boob window. Shame.

@ Brother Grimm

OK, thanks for the reply. That’s pretty much what I thought, so I haven’t really touched anything. It’s a shame about the guild bank because I had some gold in there, but otherwise nothing of value. I’ll make sure to ask support about the Heroic box.

Thanks for your help!

Hi guys, usual sort of dumb question, I’m not great with computers. How well will this run GW2 at Best Appearance at 1920×1080 resolution? I probably won’t be running the game at Best Appearance most of the time, but I’d just like to get an idea of what I could expect.

Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card
Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Kingston 8GB (1 × 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk

Thanks.

I agree with this so much. I feel a lot more relaxed having logged on today and seeing the “Living Story” tab gone from the Achievements panel.

I personally am going to enjoy the break, it’s been ages since I’ve had time to actually play the base game and not worry about the LS. The 2 week schedule was just too much in my opinion.

Clear.8512:

Anet please remove any achievement I can’t do. It has no title tied to it or an item but people will still be able to know I didn’t do it and laugh that my achievement points are 7670 and not 7680.

Don’t be obnoxious. People aren’t asking for this to be removed because they can’t do it: they’re asking for it to be removed because it’s so thoroughly broken.

Autumn Frazee.3158:

We have been tracking the reports of the issues with ‘Six Minutes to Knightfall’ not awarding and we are still investigating the issue… It is quite the elusive problem, even with the information and screenshots we’ve received from players. We have not, however, dismissed the issue and I will keep this thread updated as we work on a solution.

Thank you for responding to this. I’ll be interested to see how you guys solve the problem, if/when you finally do.

I’m not even surprised at this point that 6 Mins to Knightfall is still bugged. I’m not even annoyed actually, I’ve gone past that point.

What I am annoyed at is the complete lack of mention of it since Friday. Yes, I know there’s been a weekend. But people were here yesterday, and it really wouldn’t have been difficult to just put a sentence in the patch notes saying something like “We are still currently working on the Six Minutes to Knightfall achievement”. Just something to let us know what was going on. Please don’t just leave us in the lurch waiting for TTS to beat the thing and report back on whether they got the achievement or not.

Aethelbert.1497:

9/10.
I don’t understand your complaints, people.

I’m genuinely curious here. Are you being sarcastic? If not, why do you rate it so highly?

Still bugged? Are you serious?

Look Anet, if you can’t fix it, just remove it.

I honestly cannot remember a patch that didn’t introduce bugs to the game, and I’ve been playing since headstart. There probably were some that didn’t have any bugs at all, but what my brain remembers the most is all the ones that had at least one bug. That’s not good for customer satisfaction.

This latest patch, in particular, is a mess. This has seriously been the buggiest and least well thought out content, and their recent “fixes” don’t seem to have really fixed much. 6 Minutes to Knightfall is still bugged. Lasers in the holofight still hit you after they’ve gone, or don’t have an AoE warning before they hit. You also still have a chance to load in on one and immediately get downed/lose your chance at the achievement. Forcing players into splitting up in the Knight fight has crippled low pop severs and overflows. It’s also an extremely questionable decision in the first place, and seems like they are forcing us to play the fight how they want us to.

I hope Anet are embarrassed about this patch, because I’m embarrassed for them.

Valdemas.4960:

I HATE achievements where they force me to rely on the competence of people I don’t know and have little way to influence. All achis like that should be called “Got lucky”.

This. These kinds of achievements are jokes and yet Anet insists on adding more with every patch. My personal achievements should be rewarded when I demonstrate my personal skill level. Not 150 other peoples’ combined skill. Not whether I get lucky with the overflow I am on. Not whether said 150 people can work together or not. Nothing other than what I personally do myself with my brain and my fingers on the keyboard!

Come on Anet. This is not fair. Please just get rid of dumb achievements like this. It was bad enough with the Wurm, I didn’t need another stupid triple threat fight with an annoying kill achievement so soon after.

That’s pretty great, but what’s even better is when she puts down a laser and there is no orange AoE warning before hand. Just had that happen to me, it was incredibly annoying.

Deso just killed it on overflow, I’ve got my Wurm’s Bane now.
I still think it would have been better if Anet had rewarded it retroactively, as it was a bit of a kick in the teeth to those of us who had already killed it. Plus those of us who had the meta done already. “Oh you just spent two weeks on this boss, and thought you were finally done? Oh whoops no sorry we forgot to add this achievement here you go just do it again no big deal right lol?”
I would have continued trying to get kills regardless, as would many others I think, but it’s not the point. I can understand why Anet chose to do it this way, I just think it was a little bit sloppy.

Fay.2735:

Actually we did the wurm fight today on Deso and won. See attachment.

I know, I’m from Deso. That post was made before today when there had been no attempts up until tonight’s.

Thareen.5471:

Thats the point some Servers are usually empty. But the three guilds that are still killing the wurm are recruiting, but not all the time of course.

Are TxS still recruiting then? I want to join for Wurm and Teq runs, but I’ve heard that TxS had stopped recruitment. If you don’t want to answer this publicly then you can PM me if that’s OK.

Vegadonis.9154:

My guild and I have done it (twice in a row), I’m sure Deso can too.

Deso seems to have completely given up on Wurm. There’s been no attempt since the Living Story update.

I keep getting the same bug with the Lighthouse Workers too, on whatever overflow I’m on. Several other people are as well.

The Wurm will be in farm mode within months…

It certainly doesn’t seem that way. When was the last Wurm kill, by the way? I haven’t heard of one in ages. I haven’t seen any signs of progress towards getting the Wurm on “farm mode”.

As someone mentioned already: if you killed it once (in a legit way), you will kill it again.

I wish I could believe you Rezz, but considering how rarely the Wurm actually gets killed, and how people are rapidly losing interest in the fight, I’m not entirely convinced I will be present for another kill. As a result, I feel like I’m being punished for playing the content too early.

Though, the world doesn’t revolve around me, so who cares lol

^ This. So much what Sir Cusfreak just said.

Just please reward the new title retroactively Arenanet. We all know you can do it, so please do for us poor people who spent weeks on this Wurm and don’t want to spend more weeks hoping for the gods of luck to be on our side again.

I’m not here to criticise, I’m legitimately interested in this.

Will people keep doing the Wurm fight? The way I see it, the percentage of fails to wins on even organised severs is such that people are going to give up before long.
The risk vs reward is just not sufficient for most people, and the only real motivation for doing this fight is entertainment and achievements. It won’t take long before people get their achievements or just give up on them. It won’t take long before people get bored of the fight. So what then?

It’s an appalling issue that’s been in the game since launch. Anet have given no word on fixing it, and it puts a lot of players off playing Charr. Frankly, I’m pretty sure Anet don’t care in the slightest about this issue because not enough of us play Charr. As well as the number of standard armour skins with massive issues, they continue to churn out gem store armour that, on Charr, is just a stretched and reworked version of human armour. It looks awful, and yet Charr players are expected to pay full price for it, despite getting a substandard item.

Oh, and it’s not just the tail thing. Your horns and ears get cut off with most helms, and shoulders are huge floating monstrosities.

WilliamDaBloody.2591:

Achievements are not bugged, you just need to make sure you get enough damange on the head. The damage numbers you are seeing can often come from adds.

It is like any other event, if you do not do enough damange you won’t get the chest / achievement.

If it were bugged no one could get them. And the majority of players actually gets credit when a head is killed. For me it was perfect on every three heads the first time I killed each.

I was on Amber for the second Deso kill, and all I could see in map and local chat after (apart from the celebrations) was people saying they didn’t get the achievement progress. There were also people from Crimson and Cobalt saying it didn’t progress. That’s not the majority of players actually getting credit, that’s the majority of players not getting credit.

Either it’s bugged, or the individual damage threshold is ridiculously high.
