Guild Wars 2

I now have the achievement after blowing 130 or so gold.

I notice for some reason or another (maybe bad memory?? doubt it) none of the skins are unlocked for my charr, but I had 12 out of 18, must be because before wardrobe system. so I purchased all the medium of t1 and the t2, and t3. (t1, t2 = kitten)

Sylvari is interesting.

I have kitten, T3 Light full set, then I purchased an extra kitten and t3 medium gloves, nothing happens, then I buy the full set of t1 medium, and it worked…

So for a race that i dont play much.. I have 4 sets of armor T1 (med/light), T2 (light+med glove), and T3 (light+med glove). This is a kittenty way to get an achievement. 130 gold.

Hi,

I am currently looking to obtain more titles and achievements, but I notice that I could not get my Fashion Achievements.

My Sylvari Specialty Armor is stuck at 17/18 (I had 18, then I purchased an extra piece to check and it was still at 17/18) So now I unlocked 19/18 needed for this achievement (wasted 34 silvers on a piece of armor that doesn’t count.)

Then Charr Specialty Armor is stuck at 12/18, I purchased my last 6 pieces in hopes to make it get to 18, so now I have 18/18 but still only shows 12/18.

Anyone else have this problem? Can any dev’s look into this? Is this a Bug or am I buying the wrong items? (is that possible?)

Thanks for your time.

Kitten a balance patch!

How about another Major BUG FIX PATCH to fix the Crap-ton of Bugs introduced by June 23rd’s Specialization update?

Yeah, we got a major Bug Fix patch on July 7th that addressed some of that kitten. But there’s still a TON of BUGS that need desperate attention. Every class is riddled with half-broken skills, traits, faulty sigil/rune proc’ing and whatnot. And many of these issues are rather severe. (See the Bugs and Class forums for more details.)

i must not be paying attention to my game play… didnt notice much honestly…. probably because pve + 11111 (repeated) = win.

You can also counter troll with the new Shiro legend…

ranger pew pew kb, while in shiro legend shadow step to the enemy, attack 5. Counter trolled.

entropythreee.8152:

One thing I still think needs a look at is the Jalis elite. It has too long of a cast time for the effect. Just feels off.

If they do not speed up its cast time, I would see Jalis elite as a “initial defense” for pushing to an enemy.. for example.. Jalis/Shiro… Start in Jalis, use elite, swap to Shiro and close gap and bang away until they drop. Seems like you can hit like a truck and tank like a boss for an initial few seconds of engagement. (Jalis elite = 50 energy, so you are empty, so you must legend swap (instant 50%) to gap close…)

I can’t be the only one asking this.. but… Can Hammer 3 allow you to hit someone at a lower level than you now?

Although, it shadow steps to location and back, it only hits in a straight line, single plane. Wall campers cannot use Hammer 3 (Phase Smash) to hit enemies trying to PVD on the ground… I do see this as a bug.

I feel sad that I forgot to make gold by buying up all the DRAGON’S JADE LACERATORS!

someone did it and its all gone. lol

i see a lot of people are saying “well its a incomplete class” yes… true.

so they should make phase smash work as intended. right now i cannot hit someone on the ground if i am on the wall. I can target the ground tho.

2nd i played an incomplete mesmer, by intentionally making it incomplete. i used a off hand torch only… healing signet, disenchanter, 2 condi signet and time warp. random traits that i cannot even remember, but im sure its not very well optimized.

i can take down a packbull mob, i die with the rev.

there is clearly a problem, but that can be fixed with number adjustments. but some skills needs tweaking too.. that dwarf taunt.. 50 energy, too expensive for what it does, doesnt get used. that should not be an intended design. so lets look at that. ive also notice that its hard to gauge how close i have to be for it to works, shouldnt this be full range 1200? or is it…? i couldnt get it to work with hammer at max range.

the worlds most useless stun breaker, elite move from dwarf legend. yes i broke my stun, i also get killed in casting it. so lets look at that, im sure that is not the intended design.

downstate… needs some adjustment. i dont think i’ve ever pulled off skill 3 before i died, so I cannot tell what it does. skill 2 displacement is cool, but unpredictable. i literally pulled a monster next to me to kill me one time. not sure if this is intended. but needs to be re-evaluated.

i heard they are adjusting upkeep skills not being possible to use ooc, so ill leave that alone.

ventari stone is bugged when i die with it. i couldnt resummon it until i refresh my legend.

can we make mace 2 long enough for a double might stacking from skill 3 blast combo? we wont be able to stack pass 12 anyway based on cooldown. a few class got methods to stack to 25 easily. and many class can get 9-10 reliably. i cant seem to blast pass 9, because i would have to land it so perfectly to get a double. not sure if this is intended, but i do believe revenant can benefit from might stacking.

yup.. thats kinda it for now… but yeah off hand torch mesmer has a easier time doing things than a… 40%???? finished revenant.

p.s. got on my theif later and saw some incredible numbers like a 12k bs. then quickly getting into “haste” and jabbed a bunch of 4k values. i am just emphasizing that the revenant damage should be adjusted before the next beta weekend. this would give the class a better overall feel… and understanding if there are problem with skills. right now… very slow and carefully killing one monster actually gives players a false sense of failure to the class.

before i played the rev.. i was “OMG I MUST REV MAIN!” but as of right now i am not persuaded just yet. I’d have to play the final form before i decide. I do like rev a lot because it can use most of my gear (previously guardian main, got tired of swinging expensive swords in circle)

Basically, I have all i need to equip a rev, but uh… its not very fun right now. granted I do like a few small aspects.. some utility spamming is pretty fun, (road + mace blast) very very cool looking moves… but like I said.. not fast enough or powerful enough.

What would be cool is if phase smash can actually work properly. it needs to be looked at, I have mentioned it a few times but no one seems to care, but when I am on a wall, I want to hit people below me with my only range weapon.. well I can drop a hammer or throw a hammer. thats. it. not cool, phase smash should allow me to appear down there smash them and bounce back up. Also during that slow cast, there should be a moment of evade/block/invuln… basically this move would just be for show… i’d never use it in real game play.

Chronomancer takes the crown for me right now (mostly because mesmer = fun albeit not op by my standards)…. I hope it changes in new balance/updates of the rev.

i currently main a mesmer too… i played the rev.. then went back on my mesmer… unequipped all weapons but a torch, picked random phastasm traits… equipped 3 signests, disenchanter, and time warp… feels much more fun than a revenant.

rev needs to be either faster (yeah compared to a single off hand torch mesmer) or more powerful (yes compared to a single torch mesmer).

im being serious too.

Please excuse my clutter, I am not that good at writing reviews with good formatting… just writing my thoughts!

Phase smash seems to only work on the same “level” its casting point.

If I stand on a pillar, or the wall of a keep, and cast “Phase Smash” that clearly can target the ground level, or ground level to wall, will just display a “spark” at the same level as your elevation, over where you targeted. it would not hit the enemy unless their hit box “reaches” comes in contact. this makes this move completely useless unless you are… fighting on the same elevation.

Where is the damage? Where is the mobility? A lot of people have complained about this.

Perma swiftness is cool, easy to maintain but no “useful” dash moves thus far. The staff should be renamed the twig, based on damage output, which is so low I originally thought my zerker gear was bugged. I understand.. “healing and support” but seriously…

Weapons:

Hammer 1 is pretty good, range, hits hard, but slow. Skill 2 suffer a mild version of Phase Smash, if you are too far above, it won’t hit below. Skill 4 is… is…. can you blast a dark field? because I cant seem to get it to work… its nice to block projectile and synergies well with 111111111. Skill 5 is way too slow to be really useful in anything outside of a sneak attack or PvE. The damage output is pretty decent.

Mace + Axe, well balanced weapon set… it seems. Condi on 111, fire field 2, blast 3, good combo. 4 is okay…. the only usable gap closer that works. 5… idk, sometimes I don’t notice its effects.

Twig… 1 very stiff animation…. it drops healing orb and heals you for your damage out put… 30 hp or whatever. skill 2 er… okay, similar to.. i think warrior hammer 2 without the damage. skill 3 looks cool, does something, not very memorable or noticeable. Skill 4 works, good condi cleanse and minor heal. Skill 5… quite strong, if you can corner the enemy and cast it therefore you chain 4-5k damage.

Legends

Ventari… is very… annoying and weak. I seem to have to constantly move the stone around to feel like I am doing something but it is just healing. almost like the necro minion healing guy… but doesnt do anything without commanding it. 1st utility is a controlled guardian shield summon, pretty cool and reasonable. 2nd and 3rd skill is like taking Twig 4, separating it and giving it a ~10% boost in efficiency. And the elite is… really… no damage and a small knock back. almost like… you guessed it… STAFF 5.. without the damage.

I think there is room to improve here… maybe.. add one “boon” type utility… that acts as a stunbreaker…. maybe a instant all boons for 3 seconds and a stun breaker and call it “tablets blessing” or whatever. And make the “elite” skill either offer some type of protection or higher damage or some sort of stun or daze.

Mallyx
I don’t mind most of the utilities.. except that unyielding anguish… what the heck, i get into a circle, kick everyone out, then… I cannot get to them because of self cripple. I don’t get this utility at all. nothing else is outstanding and nothing else is too terrible. maybe this skill can be a stun breaker to make it cooler.

Dwarf
pretty kitten good.. except that flying…. pebble on a twig move… doesn’t last long and doesn’t do much damage. and the elite skill… uhm… there is a ((4######)) so I am not entirely sure what this does, casting time can be better as a stun breaker.

if we implement all these extra stun breaker, I think the Revanant can… be a little less prone to getting stuck and then “must” swap legends… and would open up more builds… since you aren’t tied to invocation to get Stun breaker spam with 1 second cooldown.

Energy levels are reasonable, I do tend to run out if i get utility happy, so I think this is a good place to prevent over spamming anything.

traits… while my other characters i have a hard time choosing because I want both traits… with the revenant I have a hard time because I wasnt sure if it would make any difference… and i find it hard to see if some traits would ever be used outside of a joke build.

Thanks for reading my mess! let me know if you agree.. disagree… maybe i am misunderstanding something with the class mechanics… or something. I played for about 2 hours and kinda felt… well kinda wish there is more.

Yay, one less person to crowd the new LA!

Eventually, Anet will have to reduce the price to -20 dollars (PAY to VETERAN PLAYERS ONLY) + character slots + some amount of gems + some bank tab/crafting bank/character bag slots + a separate copy of CORE, then charge new players 100 dollars for Core, and 50 for HoT.

Then this will stop, I deleted my wall text earlier because I know someone will get bottom-hurt and start name calling. Thank you all for complaining and keep it going, because I really want more free stuff that I didn’t ask for.. but hey, free is good

No, I’m pretty sure most people would be happy if they just dropped the price to 20 dollars for people who own the game already. They don’t even need to give a character slot imo. And keep the 50 dollars bundle for newcomers.

They’re just talking bullkitten in the community address. They’re saying HoT isn’t stand-alone, not like the campaigns of the previous game (Prophecies/Factions/Nightfall) were. It’s like Eye of the North, which they called an expansion. Well guess what, those campaigns cost the same each time, which was about 40ish (?) at launch, because they were stand-alone. Eye of the North however, was way less, 20 dollars, just because you already needed one of the previous campaigns before you could play this one. There were packs out there in which you could a campaign + EotN. Those cost more, because it included ‘base’ + ‘expansion’.

50 dollars for a half of the maguuma jungle and some extra story quests is not worth the price of a full game at all. Going to compare to EotN again… We got a whole bunch of extra maps, 18 dungeons, heaps of skills, extra heroes,… for 20 dollars.

No.. I’m pretty sure if Anet PAYS players to keep playing HoT would be the best solution. *(this is sarcasm)

EOTN was 40 dollars (iirc, its been quite the while, i am not entirely convinced that its 20 bucks). If you wait a year or two, while most people have finished the game got all the items and dlc (questionable but it should have some), you can probably buy the game for 20 dollars or less. Up to you man.

I use to buy 5 oranges for 1 dollar… why am I paying 1 dollar for 2 now a days….
lets not compare the 4.25 minimum wage of the 90s to today’s 8.75 dollars.
Why can’t I buy a bmw m3 anymore for $37,000.00… its possible in the 90s?
I am just suggesting a few ideas why its not 20 dollars, but its just what I think…

I’d say 40 is a very good price for the expansion alone with NOTHING extra added on, again my opinion. They are asking $50.

40 dollars of 2007 is pretty close to the 50 of 2015… I am not saying its perfectly fine.. but its not catastrophic either.

Destai.9603:

So I have to prepurchase to get my veteran reward?

Seriously? Why can’t you just make it for old accounts when they purchase it.

Why is that so hard?

Loyal… veteran players get rewarded. That’s the whole argument earlier.. that “loyal” players are not getting rewarded… if people are “loyal” which many are, they will start pre purchasing, which many did, because they are “loyal” to the game, it wouldnt matter if they throw down money now… or later.. so they would do it now to get minor incentives.

You seem to have a different problem with Anet, not the player slot. You want something else right?

Eventually, Anet will have to reduce the price to -20 dollars (PAY to VETERAN PLAYERS ONLY) + character slots + some amount of gems + some bank tab/crafting bank/character bag slots + a separate copy of CORE, then charge new players 100 dollars for Core, and 50 for HoT.

Give them to veterans for the new class. Give those of us who were conned by the FAQ something as compensation for the damages (as we did not have the play time to justify parity with veterans), and leave the base version as it is. This is well within their power.

You still need GW2 to play HoT. Most people have been playing GW2 for a long time. Just because Anet is including GW2 with HoT does not mean you or any veteran player has suffered any actual damages.

Yet another freshly made Anet damage control account.. This is just getting pathetic.

You’ve got a lot of tinfoil on your head, buddy.
Just because Bubalu didn’t post before this doesn’t mean it’s ‘freshly made’. They have a character in-game with 25,238 AP and are currently playing in WvW as I talk.

Sure. Whatever you want to think. For people like Bubalu with strong vocal opinions to remain silent on the hundreds of controversial topics till now is nill, but whatever you say.

I have been playing for months and I’ve barely posted on the forums either. Apparently the 25 thousand AP and the account currently in use is not enough for me to prove it to you. Add them yourself.

Did I touch a nerve our something? I said whatever you say.

sigh NecroN is a freshly made account by a WoW player. just trolling.

No, really.

The problem is the marketing, the price is a small problem, very small… unless people play Guild Wars 2 really don’t have a job.

The problem is everyone FEELS jipped because new players are getting a free copy of a very old game…

The problem is recent new players have to contact customer support to get close their discounted copy of core so they can save 10 dollars to buy HoT with free core.

Reality is if they did not announce any “freebies” and said 50 bucks.. people will buy the game moan a little and move on.

A better move is to have another 10 dollar sale on core on this announcement… everyone wins.

So the best move is to sell everything for a price and never give it away. Humans are naturally, hmm.. people on the internet are easily irritated by trivial things like someone else getting a freebie they cannot get. Anet should know better based on the reaction of people that couldnt grind a portal stone, when people are announcing they got 3 in 1 hour.

I’m sure it can be funnier although i dont like dragonhunter… for example.. they could say……

Holy Archer.

lol

Start with LB, pew pew pew, Leap of faith virtue to close in while switching to gs, symbol+ww, and if the enemy tries to dodge away /run away, leap of faith gs repeat burst… and if they run again JI to pop in and repeat burst, and if they run one more time (because some classes can do that quite often) LB and pew pew until they die!!!

oh man 3 gap closers and potential to have REALLY kitten good range dps? unbelievable.

ANET PLS RELEASE BUNNY EARS AND CALL THE GUARDIAN ELITE “BUNNYCHASER”!!!!!

jk, yeah I don’t really know why all the hate and QQing.

I am not interested in dragonhunter at this moment because what i’ve seen *so far* didn’t tickle my pickle. (I am currently transitioning my main from a guardian to either warrior or mesmer… with chronomancer, very likely mesmer).

Chronomancer feels like something completely new, Dragonhunter feels slightly… underdefined? if that is the correct word. I like the trap idea, because it’s adds strategy for guardian, and a new play style… Just have to see what the traps offer.

Longbow, while not my favorite of all time, is a welcome addition to the man card of the guardian. “Waving a pretty wand around in spikey death heavy armor” isnt actually appealing… no matter how cool of a wand you have. I personally use that… pink star princess wand on my male guardian in arah armor… jk again.

None the less I agree, it should be waited out before “ZOMG WARRIOR AND RANGER NERF COS BROKEN DRAGONHUNTERZZZZZZ!!!! HATE HATE HATE QQ QQ QQ~~~!”

EDIT:

Just read the bit about traps not being used, this has a lot to do with zerker meta, which may change with specialization. I didn’t use traps because I didnt want to waste precious Power stat points to make traps more efficient… on both my theif and ranger. I do like the concept of using traps, especially in pvp and wvw, tried it but because i feel the loss of power precision and ferocity is too large for me to consider traps.. but I use one occasionally to get that little trolling moment.

Weapon kits.

/15char

Pistol, and his specialization would be… Commando.

He will get kit skills, such as smg (Condi pew pew pew), assault rifle (really fast medium dps pew pew pew for crit proccing), Gatling gun (high damage pew pew just tons and tons of dps but low mobility… self cripple when using this kit), grenade launcher (boom boom aoe dps but slow recharge), rocket launcher(elite high dps, CC such as stuns, daze and kb), and heal skill = bullet proof vest (gain 20s protection and immunity to projectiles for 4s when activated, gain vigor (10s) and heal 4k after projectile immunity ends.

pfft.. ill play this class any day.

Complain after the change, not before… because no one knows how the change can affect the game.

I defend.. and attack Anet a lot… usually it depends on what makes sense…

anet not fixing something they really should… i complain non stop.
players assuming things that are so far.. unproven or not true… i defend anet…
players making a point that i do not agree with, i try to debate, and defend….
players making a point that I do agree with… “cheers mate!”

I think anet should change how WvW and server population is calculated… and balanced.

I think players should really calm the hell down about changes that are “assumed” to be bad, but in reality, they just have some really vivid imagination. (i do not like the stability change, but it does make things more challenging… so that part I do like…).

all gears are viable, maybe not to your play style, but sometimes its even fun to play with green/blue items with no runes to challenge yourselves, this game really isnt that hard that you need this magical “BiS” created by elite players.. that actually know the game mechanics so well that they can exploit 0 defense, or they got so far into the game that 35k hp and 3.5k toughness will not save you from a single attack. well unless you are this elite player.. your gear will still work, perfectly? no, but you will not suddenly become equally useful as a level 1 naked character in a lv 50 fractal.

Lets see what they have to offer for the expansion before getting too upset with everything. its good for your health too.

p.s. that ferocity change for 6% stat point.. and the potential -10% on celestial gear for specialization changes… oh why… my ascended celestial stuff that i wasted a month to craft…. I still use it, its not as good as it was before.. but whatever, I’ll wait and see how bad it gets before raging.

Yeah.. so I did this twice, pretty easy, once to help my wife get the achieve, and once for myself.

Its easy if you have a group, just go range and avoid eles, and have your buddies kill it, then dps down the centaur.

Pro tip, if you can reflect, reflect the wall winds to him, kinda kills him real fast. this can be done with caithe’s jumpy spinny thingy attack.

Pro tip 2, if you are doing this solo, always dps the ele down to about 5-10% run and range it down (with knife throw skill or catatrops (not sure if she has the knife throw, i think she does…) so the vortex does not spawn under you. lure them to the edge of the map so you have room to run.

Good luck!

edit just reread your post,

windwalls do not spawn on top of you, the vortex can, so keep moving,

pay attention to your mini map, the windwalls are pinged, and if you see it coming, spinny jumpy thingy attack, or use dash to evade through it.

Pretty random, get a party together and do a SW raid, ie run in circles like chest run, except to kill everything. 5 staff guardians can do this easily and everyone can tag everything.

also do not believe everything you see.. chatcodes essentially made it seem like people can get these things left and right. some people enjoy the reaction more than actually getting the item.

case in point I use to randomly spam a precursor chat code after killing some world boss. reactions are great… you know usually it would be something like Dusk, and I would buy the cheaper version of that weapon to get the skin and equip it while jumping around. then people go GRATZ!, kitten YOU!, WOW YOU’RE Lucky!
then I would keep doing it until people realized in trolling, or they join in on the trolling… I don’t do this anymore.

Interesting, I was just playing my mesmer last night on SW (trying to get that…. beta…. cough)…

Mesmer dps generally sucks. I use a condi clone build that isnt the best at anything… besides murdering HUSK monsters…. I don’t die easily because of +Condi/toughness/+vit gear… This does not fully answer your question… so I will answer to the best of my ability…

MANTRA build still works as it did… for the most part and still does half decent dps.. which is about all the dps a mesmer can get… (compared to ele/theif/dpsguard/warrior/engi/ranger pew pew, its better than dagger necro imo… more cleave!)

*edit for PvE, shatter for WvW is epic..

MONIES SHALL BE BLESSED TO ANET!

Really, I’m literally going to go home and BUY gems to celebrate.

Hi Lauren, I’d like to add that I do not receive the mail for this instance until I delete everything in my box, and with that it just assumes I read the message and process with the story. So I actually do not get Marjory’s message.

Guys.. in the future, follow these steps:

1. Download teamviewer on phone and computer.
2. Set up teamviewer.
3. Remote in to download patches and content.
4. ???
5. Profit.

IIRC… if you have friends… just leech the story from them. You can access 97% (apparently achievements are like 1-3% of the dlc) of ls2 without the downloading…

Sharing accounts isn’t allowed. You can experience the story content of LS by joining their party though, that way is completely legitimate. (Also the content is already in the client whether you buy the permission to access it or not)

I don’t know if I am unclear.. or what… by partying with your friends you are leeching the story. Therefore I mentioned thag you won’t get the achievements. Which many argue is only 1% of the ls2.

I liked the stronghold, it seems much more interactive than the usual. I also see why they changed how teleporting works… so much terrain advantages in this map.

its almost like mini wvw.

Oh… boy. Sometimes I wonder how things like hit box gets messed up. I am not a software/game engineer, but I cannot see, if nothing changed, how can a hitbox/take 0 damage buff break? Does coding have similar effects to a solid object that can get oxidized, broken, or worn out?

I assume you guys obviously tried ranged weapons at different locations as well as aoe type skills?

I am glad that I have finished this, but I feel the pain of people who couldn’t.

I’ve notice there are generally people like me (want achievement/rewards) and people that keeps claiming its only 1% broken (“You get 99% of the content!!!”).

I like to elaborate as to why it is more than 1% broken. Lets consider this one and only fact. Please be aware I am only speaking for Seeds of Truth.

“You can play the story with someone that has the Living Story Episode (7*).”

By the definition of the 1% is the Challenge Mote block, then you have way over 90% of the content by just making a friend.

So my argument is that you actually only have 10% of episode (7*). This is because you get the story, a few achievements that gives you general junk that you can live without/isn’t worth the effort to get, but you cannot get the ascended armor box for achieving META and an ascended trinket, which I argue is worth about 90% of the episode, and preventing 100% of the Meta.

With this I kindly ask people who do not understand why we are upset to let us make a bring an serious amount of attention to this matter, and stop telling us that it is just one small thing. I would hate if someone gave me a Ferrari with no vin tags anywhere except on the engine… but it does not have the original engine available, to obtain this engine you need a key, which requires the vin code to obtain. Sure you can rig an engine to fit (craft your ascended armor) and sure you can live without it (use exotics/what available gear). But is that 99% of a Ferrari or less?

I appreciate that it seems ANet is getting a little traction on this issue with at lease one solid response, and a response to a player in game. I for one would love to get ascended gear, as would many people who cannot dedicate their life to crafting. It is a great way for people to get ascended (non meta, ie non Zojja) trinket and a piece of ascended armor to enjoy.

Just do not expect to get the full Biolumiscent armor. There is currently a bug that prevents you from getting an achievement required for the boots. If you have no interest in this “Meta” reward, by all means get it, otherwise, well.. don’t expect it.

There was 2 threads on it in Guildwars 2 Discussion that the mods deleted. So that does mean they know about it, know that players are not happy with it, but choose to hide this fact.

I suppose we are ignoring the fact that they have removed the package from the store due to a bug (which is most likely the bug talked about there) until they have fixed it?

I wasn’t aware of that, IF this is the case (to fix challenge mote bug), I will go to all my comments that brings attention to the challenge mote bug and delete them all. Every, last, one.

It’s not video card or hardware temps. My wife’s, friend and myself are experiencing this same issue. We all have relatively the same hardware. i7 4790k’s, 16gb of cas 6 1600hz ram, Nvidia gtx 980s with corsair 850 psu. All of our temps are 34-47c max. In the past two weeks we have been experiencing random freezing and its extremely annoying. I’ve tried the client repair and it didn’t do anything. The issue started without any changes being made to our graphic settings, drivers, or any other software updates.

I also run a gtx980 and 4790k, my screen turns black, or looks like windows with GW2 mouse cusor, and the game is deemed “not responding” by windows. My wife sees me in game and i don’t do anything. Sound is perfect. Is is possible that the gtx980 isn’t well supported by gw2?

My wife plays on my 2011MBP and has no such issues… other than the meltdown phase of that laptop. (@95*c!!!)

This has been happening to me at least once every 2 weeks for the last… idk how old my account is…. 1.5 years?

When I see a GWAMM I question them, some of them openly admit they didn’t earn it and it was just given to them.. i feel the title should be taken away, I don’t have it, I only have up to flameseeker. I worked very hard to get flameseeker.

For everyone else that has it.. honestly idk about other players but that title is now equivalent to “traveler” to me.

When I participate in the Tequalt event, the Camera reset happens at minimum 3 times.

Easily reproduced when running back to the Vigil Mega laser to defend. Once I get there I will cross over the center point to get to the mobs to the east. Camera SNAPS into some default zoom position and I have to zoom back out to see what I am doing. It can repeat easily by crossing over once again towards the west.

It is the most noticeable when the camera “auto zoom out” on the world boss fighting stage because it just slowly zooms out and snaps into default zoom. Where crossing over the vigil laser, I can “guess” maybe it has something to do with collision. but I moved that setting back and forth and this happens either way.

I don’t have videos or anything but if necessary I can take a series of screen shots as it is happening. However, if you just go fight Tequatl it will happen, I actually stop fighting him because the loot sucks, I do not need spoons, (never got a teq horde, when my wife got 2, 1 teq horde and 1 something else ascended, in a matter of 3 fights) and the camera is annoying.

and yes its zoom setting in my case.

Not reading too much, I speculate that Mordy wanted Zhaitty’s power, so he sent his trees to do his bidding (Trahernia).

This is followed by the fact that Rytlock felt that he got over nerfed as a Warrior, due to people telling him “ZOMGBBQWARRIOROPZZZZZ!”, and decided to make his own class (Revenant).

Caithe is a confused and lost soul that thinks she knows everything, so she decides to steal the egg to troll the player and run away from a dragon fight when she can clearly help.

Then we just stand and stare at some golden arches until a few hundred years go by when Heart of Thorns come out… we then send our descendants to attack Mordy, you know he will be weakened from all that waiting. A few generations is quite the long time for them dragons. he might even be ready to go back to sleep.

I like my version of the story. lol

Lord Kuru.3685:

It’s been bugged since the March 16 update. Before that there were zero problems hitting the dragon.

The same issue has affected other structure bosses as well, I believe.

Just take a break until it’s fixed.

If meeting the Asura challenge mote bug is any indication of how long it would take for this to sort out, haha… Just forget the living story and play something else like PvP.

How did you verify this? Last I heard it was still working… can you get some average numbers from practice dummies (SILVERWASTE or otherwise)

try for 10+ attack in both scenarios.

Thanks.

Balthazar does not use shields. HE JUST RAGE WITH SWORDS and GREAT SWORDS!!!!!

In all seriousness, I have not notice this issue with the flame seeker propheicies, but I have to look more carefully.

EDIT: i checked, it does clip, but hardly noticable because the book is so thick.

Akagami.9861:

And it only took like what…3-4 months for someone to notice our problem?…not bad…
Maybe in 3-4 years we will have this bug looked at…and then in 3-4 decades we will have it solved…

Ohh thank you!

Luckily for me I JUST decided to get the lumi set… in 2 days (I work full time) I got everything but this mote. This is a potential way to make sure achievements are not easily completed in under a month. I also corrected your time frame in the quote to accurately show how things are being handled.

I’d be less upset if this achievement is just for.. some random thing, or not really required like meta. it use to be like that isn’kitten where you just need to do 7/9 or whatever achievements to get the meta.

serenke.4806:

I think the best course of action would be to temporarily disable brooms, mesmers and human females until the devs have time to fix this.

Best response ever. I completely agree. They should disable lumi armor as well so players don’t have to grieve over meeting the asura challenge mote. Obviously, the Female, Mesmer, Lumi armor, on a broom stick human is the reason behind the challenge mote not showing. Who would wear a lumi set without the boots?

Or maybe the challenge mote is too busy… scouting out Female human mesmers on a broom while wearing lumi set?

PROBLEM SOLVED. /close thread.
