Guild Wars 2

Checked every inventory slot on all characters and vault. Only received tunic pieces, no caps. Missing the launch special edition baseball cap and the cooking cap.

I must say the fact that these items now consume a bag slot instead of dedicated town clothes equipment slots just screams buy more vault and bag slots $_$. Despicable.

Thanks for the clarification but I am certain the town clothes I seek were equipped, never removed or discarded, and I am on the correct character. I guess submitting a ticket is my only recourse.

I did that, as I stated in my original post. I got nothing.

First time logging in since town clothes were removed. I previously had an arenanet baseball cap, and a few other purchased town clothing items. I went to the black lion trader armorsmith and selected to have any items converted to wardrobe, but they are not there in the wardrobe. I am 100% certain that the items I am looking for were equipped before the patch.

What do I do now?

LOCO.1785:

Yes.

Why would you ask such a question…

Why would you not ask that question? It seems perfectly reasonable seeing as arenanet condones gold selling from one vendor in particular.

I love the hockey mask

I’m still waiting to see that 15k fire grab screenshot. I don’t believe it exists.

And even if it does I bet the character doesn’t have more then 20% crit.

From the recent patch notes:

*Glyph of Renewal: This skill will now revive downed allies only, not dead ones.

This change is absurd.

The glyph has never worked while attuned to air, and often doesn’t in other attunements. The very long cast time was bad enough on dead targets (especially since the 1200 range version doesn’t work), but now more so since it only affects downed players. It is always faster to rally a downed player then casting the glyph.

So glyph of renewal has been made useless before even fixing the ability. While attuned to air it has never worked since day 1.

Now, even if glyph of renewel was 0.5 second cast, it is STILL useless. In its current state…….hahaha

Subtract 10 from fire, and set the only fire trait to burning precision. Then get elemental attunement in arcane. Then it would be satisfactory, although any dual dagger build still sucks in WvW.

Any elementalist without both elemental attunement and cleansing water or cleaning wave in WvW should be shot for being a selfish kitten.

This official statement is just another nail in the coffin. Good thing my buddies and I have already said our goodbyes to WvW.

Please tell me you have a team working on a new large scale PvP battle type with a duration of 1 to 4 hours.

You should refund all those commander badges and restructure the entire system, because it royally sucks.

I will probably occasionally play sPvP matches, and maybe spend an evening in PvE.
I already quit WvW and I will absolutely not touch it until the mile long list of issues is fixed.

Yes the bug makes it not worth playing. And yes, the guild leaders on ET have already agreed to bend over for SI and let them have a victory just so henge would be last place.

I quit WvW because of (in order of dissatisfaction):

Orb buff’s existence
Lack of region lock (night capping) imbalance
Queue times & queues not working
Invisible players in combat
Lack of anti-cheat; hackers placing siege & stealing orbs

Lack of region locking was bad design on arenanet’s part. Most players suffer because of it, except for the few who get to take advantage. I should not have to play on or against players in Europe, Asia, or Australia.

If WvW matches were 6 or less hours in length, only then would it be acceptable.

There is no reason for the orb buff to exist. The 3X orb buff is the only reason many servers are locked into winning this weeks match already. The only chance of getting one back is if a player runs a flying or teleporting hack, which just leads to another problem with the orbs.

I won’t be participating in WvW again until the orbs are removed.

i received an error when trying to buy a staff, and now I have 4 of the same exotic staff and no gold

kitten you arena net

I’m not. That’s the point. After logging off and on, thus resetting the queue, I got in in 8 minutes. It is broken.

Eredon Terrace. The medium population server I moved to from a full server, after ArenaNet requested players do so to fix their balance problems.

Tito.3270:

So it took you 3 hours and 10 minutes to figure out that something is broken?

No, I didn’t realize it until after I received the prompt.

THREE kitten HOURS IN QUEUE AFTER QUEUEING UP THE SECOND THE NEW MATCH STARTED

2 hours 37 minutes in queue since reset
can’t minimize the game to play other games because i’ll miss the queue pop-up
can’t play other games while waiting because I can’t hear the queue pop-up
nearly everybody on the server is in queue
nobody is going to leave WvW until after midnight
fail
fail
fail

TransparentlyOpaque.1824:

What are you ranting about? Why are you waiting hours? There are several different battlegrounds, just pick another one and play while you are qued.

They all have multiple hour queues.
I even switched to a medium population server two weeks ago. Didn’t help kitten.
kitten this game.
I’ve been sitting in my chair staring at my screen waiting for the godkittenqueue pop up window for two and a half hours.
I queued up the VERY SECOND we were able after the matches reset.
I think its time to refund the game and chargeback those $60 in gems.
kitten this game.

this reset caused my server’s queue times to go from 10 minutes to beyond 2 hours

i queued the very second the matches reset and have been waiting since, coming up on 2 hours now.

ive wasted my evening just waiting to play

WvW queues needs a desktop pop-up notification with an audible alert.

Currently I have to logon and stare at my screen waiting for WvW to be ready. I would like to play different computer games while waiting for WvW to be available for play.

Please implement this as soon as possible.

Thanks

At what time will the matches change exactly?

Holy crap! ARRRR! Just add a second optional queue that joins you into a match fighting for whichever server needs help the most. If abuse if discovered, then start locking players into aiding that server for 24 hours after they join.

Would fix this 100%. Would also balance the server populations when someone decides to switch to a server they enjoyed participating in WvW with.

Toughness is not important if you use traits and utilities to maintain vigor, endurance regeneration, or endurance restoration. Especially if it isn’t passive.

I find it hilarious that sea of sorrows and isle of janthir eternal queues are shorter then their home borderlands. That just goes to show they gave up trying to combat eredon terrace in eternal.

Guild Wars 2 is the only MMO i’ve ever played where a bot using a hack didn’t get banned within 48 hours after a report.
If a player is teleporting to the same 100 or so coordinates repeatedly and press F at each location, they’re obviously running a clientside hack. The game has no anti-cheat does it?

Just one more in a very long list of changes since launch that directly push players into buying gold (via gems obviously).

Airships.

Nothing mentioned about matches where one server controls every point throughout primetime hours, if not 24/7. Something has got to be done to fix it. I don’t care how you fix it, just fix it. It is ruining the game. For the love of god do anything! Give the dominated servers a gigantic super golem that can march right down to the keep and punch a hole through a wall! Give them Charr tanks! Anything!

oh and remove the orb buff because it is stupid and unnecessary

I play a water elementalist/air 10/20/0/30/10 with zero condition damage and 45% crit. With usually 600 healing, but sometimes I equip 800. I certainly don’t feed ineffective and I have no trouble getting badges. Just land final blows! With the recent reduction of downed state HP it is easier then ever. If you see an enemy downed 1200 range away, then quickly cycle 2 non-channeled aoes, drop a stun field, and you shouldn’t have trouble finishing them off.
of every gear/trait/utility makeup i’ve tried, I find this build the most useful both large battle (staff), and small skirmishes or 1v1 (scepter & dagger). What is important is condition removal! Water elementalists excel at area condition removal and keeping vigor up (self only) throughout the duration of most battles.

I would think it would be simple to make ram operators immune to the catapult knock back as a temporary fix.

This same issue exists with several US servers which are home to many Australian, oceanic, and Asian players.

It’s a shame that WvW wasn’t designed around 6 hour matches.

ruin is just doing it to have fun, because clearly there is no fun for ET players in WvW when ET outnumbers the opposition 10 to 1 except when it is 5 a.m. Which is sad, because ET is a medium population server.

The way public groups work in Rift events would be perfect for WvW.

Shinzou.1534:

Even if he is just there to advertise, it has more effect than that. His mere presence makes people not want to post anything about strategy in chat. Because, let’s face it, if someone posted that they were going to take a supply camp do you really think Archaos will be able to keep his mouth shut in TS?

You should expect anything you say in WvW chat to be read by the enemy team. Do you really think the opposition doesn’t have accounts logged in on the other side? Ha

And strategy? They were outnumbered 10 to 1. There is nothing that can be done at all. If you manage to take one camp while nobody is looking, you’ll loose it within 5 minutes or less.

Plenty of guilds already use secondary accounts on opposing servers to not only spy, but drain supplies.

I don’t understand the problem. I use a scepter and dagger quite frequently in WvW as an elementalist, in fact whenever I am not attacking or defending a gate or wall (where I would use a staff). When using these weapons I am constantly switching between melee and 450 – 900 range to maintain full effectiveness. If you are a class which can use 2 weapons, why not switch to suit your needs mid battle?

Sorry but that is not a resolution. I already transferred off a full server to medium population after Mike asked us to.

Regarding unlocked abilities and traits, no. I recommend waiting until level 30 to start participating in WvW.

However regarding gear stats. If you wear rare and masterwork gear relevant for your currently level, then your stats will be adjusted quite nicely compared to true level 80 players.

looks like fundamental design flaw to me

Boycotting shouldn’t work if the teams are forcibly even. Obviously that is not the case.

I am on eredon terrace in this match right now.

We we have 30 people at each gate keeping you bottled up, and another 70 elsewhere farming or doing jumping puzzles. We never see more then 30 of you leave your spawn.

Where is your other 100 players?

Yes that about sums it up.

Or you could say we’re just asking for a challenge?
