Guild Wars 2

I am receiving the same issue as Lord SilverStone.3782 when attempting to purchase gems from the store with a credit card. This has occurred multiple days and with different gem amounts (2800/$35 and 800/$10). Error is the same as the screenshot in his post.

I have noticed this as well. This seems to happen every time I change maps or leave a tonic transformation.

That music is Scarlet’s Theme.

:)

Could this be due to the Flamekissed light skin?

I’ll go ahead and take my gathering OCD into Timberline for a night and see what happens.

I think I’m having a similar problem with Golem Mark II.

I keep my Engi in Mount Maelstrom to farm plat / wood. Once a night I also do Golem on this character. However, the last few days I have not gotten any chests at all. I gave the gathering a few days break and came back and tried again, so I’ve definitely not done Golem in the last 24 hours on this character — still no large chest. I have done enough damage to golem to count for the event (I was with ~5 people who killed it just now). My engi is pretty glassy, so dmg output shouldn’t be a problem.

Not exactly sure why I’m not getting a reward chest.

I guested to two servers today to harvest Ori/Ancient wood in Cursed Shore, but to my surprise found no ori/ancient nodes on my guest servers. I am aware the locations change between servers, but I looked all over the map and found nothing. I did not harvest the nodes on the guest servers in the last 24 hours. I did find Omnomberries, the T5 wood/metals.

Is this a bug or a change I missed?

I am SoR. Guested to BG and DB.

My questions and concerns:

1.) The hard cap of FotM 50 is going to be reached by hardcore PvE’ers in about a week, even with the reset to 30. Why did you decide to cap FotM at 50?

2.) What is going to happen to the people who upgraded backpieces, rings and infusions? A lot of materials (ie, ectos, T6 materials, relics, mist essence) were put into those upgrades. I know we don’t have the full picture on exactly how the AR changes are coming, but it seems a lot of these things will be destroyed.

3.) YOU SHOULD NOT RESET LEGITIMATE PROGRESSION IN A GAME. Ever. Period.

• If the content is challenging, if the mechanics are too difficult, people will go in at lower levels until they are confident enough to move forward.

• Arbitrarily resetting people to 30 simply to initiate a “leaderboard” is possibly the worst idea I’ve yet seen by the developers. The only people interested in such boards are the high-end PvE community — coincidentally the people you are hurting the most out of this update — and they already know who has the levels and skill to do high level fractals.

• To the people who think that the reset is okay: please don’t. Have sympathy for your fellow players. If you WvW or PvP, this is most comparable there — would you not fight to keep the progression you made there, especially if your rank was going to be cut in half or more? To the more casual PvE’ers — just imagine all of your characters being sent back to level 1 with no gear and being told that it was “okay”. You’d be upset as well. As Bright and Arietta have stated, there was lot of time, effort and gold spent among people who progressed to 50 – 80 level FotM.

4.) Thaumanova Reactor / Molten Furnace / Aetherblade Fractal — forgive me if I seem jaded but. . .are these just the same LS dungeons you’ve already released. . .made into a fractal level? The boss encounters described in your release sound like the same exact boss fights. They were BAD in the LS releases. They WILL NOT BE BETTER in a fractal unless you have done serious reworking of the mechanics in those fights.

• In particular I am worried about the Mai Trin boss fight. You’ve mentioned those stupid cannons where you ran in a circle for way too long until they got bored and came back down so you can actually do something about killing them. That fight in LS was not challenging. It was boring. It was tedious. Everyone I know was immensely relieved to have their achievements done so they didn’t have to ever do it again.

I appreciate that fractals updates are happening, but I have serious concerns about it’s implementation.

I would also appreciate my stacks of ecto and T6 mats from the infusions they’ll be killing with this.

Honestly, did ANYONE think this through?

I want to say I’m really proud of the SoR members that have been showing up late NA night after night. Super proud of Jamezay, Aurust and Brutus the past few nights — your commanding has been awesome, and you have pulled us triumphantly through some fights I thought we were going to die in.

I skimmed these last. . .ugh, 20 pages of forums? . .and was seeing some rubbish about SoR turning on IRON? What utter trash. We <3 IRON. Unfortunately I miss most of them due to timezones, but when I do get to run with them it’s great.

/back to having dreams about calling water fields.

Liquid.9672:

Hills on TCBL just now. LOL!

This! We sure had a nice mexican stand-off, didn’t we?

We swept hills yesterday, and garri very well today. We do have screens from today/yesterday and video from hills yesterday. They’ll be submitted appropriately.

I had a lot of fun in Rumble last year, and was really hoping to see it come back again.

I. . .I don’t even. . .

Late to the forums, but just wanted to tip my hat to all of the SBI kids late, late NA time in SBI BL Hills. That was a hell of a fight!

Out of curiosity, how many golems did you actually have? I think I counted six, but I was mostly running for inner and screaming on TS. :o

This is kittening awesome!

AHA, it is NOT just invisible. It’s somehow turned into a little tiny pillar not visible from the surface. That’s pretty brutal. :|

Still, unsure if this change was intended or not.

As it is now

After the last patch, a safe platform through the 1-3 Queen Bee Dog maze seems to have disappeared and made the achievement impossible for the moment.

You can see it just after the 3rd (long) jump.

What I see
What a guide I found sees

My only real complaint about the color is that the zomgBLUE is now the same blue as the Commander pin, which makes seeing your other commanders at a glance problematic. In stressful/laggy situations (3-way keep fights, anyone?), this will give blue a disadvantage.

The “kill scarlet’s minions” events in Bloodtide Coast seem to stall ~50-60% (just before the 2nd spawn). Guildies/Map theorizes that this is connected to the minions spawning in the water or under the map.

OMG Bright, you’re my official kittening hero. CoF rhapsody ftw.

Gotta commend YB on really bringing the fight for the last few days. Lots of fun!

Braxxus.2904:

I see no golems… and no devs.

I R teh confused.

/sarcasm?

Oh [Me]. xD Didn’t anyone tell you that Citadel is impossible to cap with just players? You need at LEAST 10 Omegas and two Devs on your team. Get a move on!

For realsies though, I haven’t seen ANYONE throw as many golems around as you guys do. You must be quite rich to be so nonchalant with them.

WTB score update!

Great fights in SoS BL again today, although I really only had a heart attack in hills once due to some sneaky Yaks! I didn’t even see your golems until you were in the door. x_x

Tonight did have a moment of probably the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. We cap SoS’ bay — find a YB mes. . .keep searching. . .find a whole crew of them AND a golem hiding in the corner. Nice try guys. If no one had ever swept a keep they might never have found you.

Also, props to the SoS mes I also found hiding by bridge in Bay. That was a nice spot! I’ll have to remember it. . .

Amazing effort by everyone on DB the last 30 hours! We led PPT all day and that gap between 1st and 2nd is rapidly closing. . . Great job everyone!

Some very fun fights today in SoS BL. /salute to all involved!

IRSyKo.5843:

Sadly I think you guys are some of the only people left on DB fighting

Absolutely not. Sure, some morale is low atm and our turn out is less than we’ve hoped. Getting destroyed for weeks and weeks will do that. But now that SoS is here and we have a fighting chance things are starting to improve. Just imagine FA fighting JQ for 9 weeks straight — how would your morale be?

There are still some of us fighting.

I have to say I’m really enjoying this match-up. It’s so nice to have a fairly equal T3 for the first time since we got here.

Lenador.1436:

Abbish you sit in our bl all day

Borderlands4lyfe!

To the Mag thief from Just Defend [DFND] who was trying to kill yaks/scout/vale in DB BL tonight. . . Some fun fights. You were very persistent — I was almost sorry to stomp you so many times. If only people didn’t keep getting in the way!

~ Your friendly DB Necro

C’mon Mag, quit trying to ninja our Bay. Get in there and knock the wall down yourselves instead of letting us do all the work! So lazy!

The event was moved. It’s now out in the water west of it’s original location — can’t remember exactly where offhand.

Honestly getting quite tired of the FA zergs — it makes for a boring and frustrating WvW. GL in T2, leave T3 to us.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

On a somewhat serious note, I would like to reiterate that I am looking for a WvW guild to join on Dragonbrand. Before anyone from another server asks, no, I am not interested in switching servers. My current guild (which I am not leaving, just making use of the multi-guild feature) just doesn’t have any WvW presence and I would like to play with a group I can coordinate with.

Again, if anyone has room for an epidemic-happy necro with a lot of siege stored up, please let me know.

well you could always join my guild. It’s a new guild so I don’t have many members yet. Mostly friends from gw1. But I do WvW daily and I’d like to have another member we can run around with in WvW. There is another guildie that does WvW with me sometimes, but she’s not that experienced so I’m rezzing her more often than I should. But she’s trying and eventually she’ll get it. But we can take our necros and rampage WvW lol. Just a thought.
Right now since my guild is still small I usually join [ToA] in events. Mainly Thursdays on WvW and we go do Orr once in a while.

I’m flattered you’d mention us. Unforunately, ToA doesn’t field many wvw parties more than a few nights a week. I’m always in wvw, as is Sokiri and Starson (eb commanders), but you’ll rarely find more than 5 in on most nights. :c

Still, if you’d just like a small, chill group to run around with, you’re welcome to give us a go.

GO DRAGONBRAAAAND!

This is a problem common to all fights where there are large numbers of people. You’ll see it primarily in WvW zergfests, but I’ve also had it occur in PvE with things like Dragon events and Orr Temples.

FA you really wanted Dreaming Bay tonight. Gz for finally managing it.

Been defending there all day — quite a debacle.

Dear FA and CD,

Please quit double teaming us at our Bay. This pact of yours is getting ridiculous.

xoxo,

All of Dragonbrand

Sypsy.7318:

DB,

If you want to move up to T3, then you gotta squeeze more points out of Ehmry as well. I know you’re focusing on us Yaks, but there is a limit to how much you can take from us because then we’re just concentrated over fewer things and will defend it. You’re leaving a lot of low hanging fruit with them and it isn’t helping your cause. From your perspective, it’s the same point gain regardless of who you take it from.

Let Ehmry & Yaks fight it out on who gets bumped down to T5 naturally while we both have to deal with you.

I, for one, don’t want to move up to T3 just yet. I think we need at least another week in T4 to really get the feel for things.

Also, coming in and ganking our garrison in deadtime is a surefire way to keep us coming after you. I hope that crew enjoyed the 5 min it lasted in there.

Bumping this thread. This section of the path is still NOT FIXED. :c

Tried again today, guild group, ran into the same problem where only 2/5 bombs would register as in the circles. No stealth on bomb pick up/drop, no glitch of the separatists. Did the whole thing legit and it still wouldn’t work.

I’m having a ton of fun in this matchup this week. Some really awesome camp-cappers from EB and YB have really kept me on my toes, notably HIRE and FTF.

Keep it up guys! Fun fights all around.

Hartman.4267:

Sadly it seems like BP was hosting a bunch of bandwagoners. we lose once, then we lose a whole bunch of people, doing a lot worse than the last time it was a matchup between the 3 of us.

It might be that, but DB also really had to step up it’s game last week against Mag and YB. We found we could coordinate well and we liked it. >:D

I would personally really LIKE to see BP and DH band together and give us a good fight this week!

That DH zerg that came sweeping into our borderland about 12 hours ago sure gave me a minor heart attack. That is definitely a quiet time for us, and I really felt the pressure. I had to call in reinforcements and everything!

DB has a lot of respect for it’s commanders and all-hours crews.

Catalyst might form, might not. Regardless, we’ll still have a good time and be way less stressed about hardcore WvW servers.

I got out of SE exp a bit ago and went to list a Destroyer Core for sale on the TP. I was matching the lowest sellers, and hit OK, when I received an “Error Selling” message. Instead of just not listing the item, the TP took my listing fee AND the dcore. It is NOT listed (either as selling or sold), I received no sale money; the item was not returned in the “Pick Up” window. Simply gone.

Waited several minutes, logged in/out a few times, changed chars looking for any change/return of the item.

Sold a few other things at TP without any problems.

Not a huge deal because it was only a destroyer core, but if this had been one of the precursors I was looking to list it would be a much different story.

Playing as a dagger/dagger ele, summoned weapons (ice bow/lightning hammer/FGS) sometimes do not spawn correctly. The weapon will summon on the ground, but you will not have one in your hands.

This occured every summon during CoE Explorable.

I tested in LA with practice dummies but was unable to reproduce the effect. Tested in Bloodtide vs. Marsh Drakes and was unable to reproduce. Tested in AC explorable unable to repro.

We did this again today and ran into the same issue of no adds spawning.

We figured out that it was the Necro trait “Vampiric” (steal health on hit) that was doing the damage to the steal, instead of the condi like we originally thought.

My group just had this bug on Fractal 12. I noticed that as a necro you can slightly damage the seal (~25/sec) with scepter. It takes forever but we did manage to progress to the next stage.

I got Leaf of Kudzu and Chaos Gun from one chest. <3

Looks like some of my bad luck wore off!

If Blingg could just shut up for like 2 seconds!

His chat spam is ridiculous!
