Guild Wars 2

To salvage this situation may I suggest you bringing back Capricorn in Beta-Form one more time?

Make some tweaks, bring it back for a few weeks (without overlapping another beta-map) and everyone can get their achievements.

These last two weeks have not been a great PvP-experience to say the least.

It’s fine. As long as we see tangible results from this. So far the legendary team has done a very good job, and I’m certain they will continue to do a very good job in other areas of the game.

I can understand that some people might be very disappointed with this, but keep in mind that there are more goals than legendaries to achieve in this game.

Same here, I hope I didn’t just waste it… also did anybody notice that there was no Vision Crystal contained in the loot box that you get at the end? I swear it said “contains… Vision Crystal”

Rumor has it we will see something related to Chinese New Year (Cantha?) maybe as soon as tomorrow. There was some event going on in the UI of the last Points of Interest show.

Same here, constant blinking/refreshing, can’t click on anything.

Some of you have to think long and hard about why they are still here.

Constructive criticism offers specific solutions, but some of you just like to indulge in negativity and you like it. Note I am saying some of you, not all.

Does this game really take up so much of your free-time even though you seem so displeased with everything? Why do you still play?

Why are you still here?

I tell you why! Because you like the complaining without offering construcive solutions, you like the people here that tell each other how everything was better in the past and how those times never come back and everything is kittenty and dumb and it sucks. You like that.

Find something positive, if it is not in this game, then just leave and come back later.

Oh, and some of you are just trolls, that’s for sure.

Some of you should really think hard and long about why you are still playing this game. And some will never be satisfied.

So far I’m pretty excited for these changes.

For 90% of my game time I have been crafting in Rata Sum, it was just more convenient to do so. And now I do the same. Everything else in Vigil Keep is even better than LA in terms of walking distance.

So while it would have been nice to have crafting right there it is also a non-issue.

For some reason every few days the enemies in Frostgorge Sound seem to despawn, never to return again until an update brings them back. I’m not sure what is causing this, if it is the Claw of Jormag event or maybe the Scarlett Invasion event or just some random error in the code.

With the recent announcement of crafting going to 500 and more ascended items to be introduced I am wondering if I should wait with my hybrid-gear or just craft it now.

Also how will magic find be replaced on current gear, did they hint at how they are going to compensate for that when it will be removed? Will already crafted gear automatically be changed to the new stats?

I am hesitant to craft it if I have to replace my armor again in a few weeks.

I also never saw a Holographic Dragon Wing Cover drop from anything other than a mob. It doesn’t drop from the Coffers/Chests.
There is a small chance to get one from any enemy in the world or even from other players in WvW as a random drop.

They will stop dropping tomorrow when the new update hits, so make sure to get it now while it’s cheap. As of now you can still get it for under 10 Gold on the TP (which it would cost at the merchant if Zhaitaffy was 1 Copper – the lowest possible price for that). But right now Zhaitaffy is getting more and more expensive, so that is not an option.

How do you get rid of his Flame Shield? He had permanent Stability (no defiant) and permanent Flame Shield since the very beginning.

Knockbacks and knockdowns didn’t work.

And if you say “knock him out of the circle” then please provide a screenshot of the so often mentioned yet mysteriously non-present circle. I don’t see it maybe I’m blind.

Or do you just spam him with 30+ people?

Purchased an Obisidian Shard for Karma, level up instantly, no reward.

I want my Laurel

The Event “Defeat the shadow behemoth” in Queensdale is bugged at least on my server (Kodash). He constantly emerges and does some AOE then goes back, then emerges again etc. Also, you can’t damage him or the portals but he can damage you.

Your best bet are 3 Candy Corn Orichalcum Amulets (cheapest exotic trinkets to make) +1 Packaging = 2000 Commendations = 7 Keys or a metric kittenston of 250 salvage kits.

Quickest (not necessarily cheapest) way for 2000 Commendations in one go would be 3 Lv75-80 exotic trinkets (amulet/ring/earring).

Candy Corn Orichalcum Amulet seems to be the cheapest, although Opal Orbs shot up in price. But still one of the best methods if you want those rewards quick.

Vocal minority. I thought Anet understood what this means.

Now look at this thread. These are the players that were satisfied with the game.

You gave in to the few people on the forums that complained about “not enough to do”. Those people with short attention-spans are long gone.

What you did was alienate those who stayed because they liked the non gear-based game they had.

Who greenlights something like this?

It uses more materials than the Embellished Gilded Sunstone Amulet (+100 Candy Corn) but doesn’t give any stat-advantages. It has the same basic stats. It even has an empty upgrade-slot. Empty… it’s even worse than the original.

Is there something I am missing here or is this an oversight?

Maybe this recipe was supposed to use fewer Sunstone Jewels? Or give different stats?

Also, the price in the TP is around 10 Silver, while 3 Embellished Gilded Sunstone Jewels are 30 Silver. I guess a lot of disappointed Jewelers dumped their Amulets on the market after they realised what was going on?

Please clarify…

It would be nice to know if this is intended or not. I could just transmute the skin but then I would lose the flavor-text. And I don’t know if it is still needed somehow when the event goes on.

Either this Achievement is bugged or it isn’t supposed to do anything… I’m going with bugged because it would make sense that at least something would have progressed this by now.

Can a dev please look into this?

I think it is the second achievement under “Special Event”. If Act 1 or the door events were supposed to advance this achievement it is not working.

Server: Kodash [DE] and Desolation (at least those, probably more)
Location: Iron Marches, Hellion Forest
Heart (not Skillpoint): Fight Life stealing Minions in Hellion Forest

Every objective in this area does not work. Also, there is a bugged DE right next to it where you are supposed to rescue someone from the haunted mansion. Doesn’t work, it seems to be stuck.

What the tooltip means by “rarer” or “rare” materials is "one tier higher than normal for this a given cloth/leather/heavy piece. For Lv70+ items this means a chance of Gossamer/Orichalcum/T6Leather (forgot the name).

Ectos are something completely different. They are a “trophy” and they actually have always the same chance to be salvaged out of 70+ (rares/exotics only) REGARDLESS which salvage kit you use (even Crude will do) (might be 68+, don’t know exactly).

But OP is right in that the Mystic Salvage Kit does not give the stated 25% increased chance. If the tooltip is wrong or the salvage kits are bugged is a question a dev has to answer.

Server: Kodash [DE]
Map: Brisban Wildlands
Area: Hidden Lake

The Skill Challenge here simply does not work, after putting the spirit to rest nothing is happening / there is no npc to fight / no skill challenge prompt appears.

But if a hacker already sold items or brought gold into the economy and you roll back the account doesn’t that create gold or items out of nowhere? I mean if the items already have new owners do they get doubled? Doesn’t that have an effect on the economy?

Plimwalf.4932:

As far as I can tell Gandara EU, among a lot of other servers, has the following bugged skill challenges:

• Malchor’s Leap, the challenge by Bayt Fallahin
• Cursed Shore, the challenge in Winterknell Labyrinth
• Cursed Shore, the challenge in the ship “Death’s Anthem”

Since these bugs seem to be easy to fix, I’m almost starting to believe ArenaNet is not doing anything about them for some obscure reason. If, however, they pose some difficulty to do away with, it would be nice for us players to be informed about this. That way, we don’t have to keep looking if it works or keep trying to make it work somehow. Please let us know how much longer this is going to take. Soon. Thanks.

The spectral weapons never work. They work for like 5 minutes after the update and then after 2 or 3 defeats they end up displaced and cannot be targeted anymore.
Please fix this, it is the single most annoying thing for most people in PvE right now.
It really is tedious to go to these maps only to be told by the players there “Nope, still buggin’ out, better luck next time”.

Please make this retroactive for people that completed their story already. I was going to wait, but yesterday I decided to go for the very last mission and of course got abysmal blues from my bags. I know many people that won’t complete their story because of this.

Andele.1306:

also since i finished the last quest, mob drops dont seem to scale with me either…

Please look into this asap. If this is true the last mission will ruin your character. I also seem to find no LV80 loot anymore now that you mentioned it. I could be paranoid though…

It is obviously a bug, people were able to get it a week ago, then something broke it again.

Bugged on Kodash EU also.

It is annoying if it is that last point you need.

I also seem to get rare materials much less often with the Mystic Kit. Figured it had to be the wrong values…
