Guild Wars 2

Oh thank god. I haven’t played in 6 months and I just started back up again and finally got around to checking my guild bank to discover the red letters and exclamation points on my guild stash and treasure trove. It’s a personal guild and my two accounts are the only members. After buying like 6 bank tabs, 8 extra character slots, and a ton of cosmetic and fun items like the flute on my main account I decided to stop throwing money into the game and made the guild to store stuff between accounts like all my runes and sigils as well as my gold. Now all my gold is locked away and I was freaking out that I had lost permissions as the guild leader of my personal guild. Good to know this is just a bug that’s going to get fixed. Now it’s nothing more than a minor inconvenience. The panic attack has subsided. I bought a lot of drinks to get the influence for that 100 slot trove so I was freaking out about losing it.

My apologies. That’ll teach me to ask on map chat next time before posting in the forums. I was told to go to the Black Lion Armorsmith in any major city and convert my town clothes to skins. Thank god I have my GW2 hat again!

To any moderators, if you feel this is informative leave it up. Otherwise feel free to delete this post. I would delete it myself if I had the option.

So I just realized today that ever since the update on the 15th that introduced the wardrobe I haven’t been able access any of my character’s town clothes. Most importantly the Guild Wars 2 Hat that I got for either preordering the game or linking accounts. Don’t remember exactly how or why I got it but I had it and now I don’t seem to have it anymore which is very upsetting. Can anybody shed some light onto this? Am I just missing something? Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

I must have missed that post. I appreciate you both taking the time to answer my question. Thank you.

So with the update tomorrow we are getting the new Wardrobe System. I’m very excited for the Wardrobe System along with all the new features. I actually have an Abyss Dye and a Celestial Dye I’ve been saving for about a year now because I wasn’t sure what character to use them on. Now I can use them on all my characters!

Now as much as I am looking forward to this update I do have one major concern that I haven’t heard anything about. Throughout my time on Guild Wars 2 I have accumulated a collection of 145 Transmutation Stones. With this new update will those stones become unusable or will I be able to trade my Transmutation Stones for Transmutation Charges? If they will become unusable I think it would be a good idea to add a vendor that will trade Transmutation Charges for people’s unused Transmutation Stones so that people don’t feel like they’re getting screwed over after taking the time to collect so many stones.

Thank you in advance for your answers!

So I read about the trait system being reworked in the update scheduled for next month and how we will no longer have to buy training manuals to access different tiers.

Here’s my dilemma. I am currently leveling a Thief. I am at level 59 right now. When I turn level 60, in order to access the last tier of traits, I have to spend 2 of my 12 gold on the manual. Why am I spending that 2 gold to get the next tier of traits when I know that come April 15th I’ll be getting them for free!? Should I just keep playing and leveling without my last tier until the update if I want to save that 2 gold?

I guess my real question is for ArenaNet. Since you announced that you’re making the manuals obsolete why don’t you make them free or at the very least less expensive till the update so that people don’t have to waste their gold on a system that they know you’re basically going to be getting rid of in less than a month?

If you’re not hearing sounds try updating your audio drivers. Also, I find that when I set my speaker settings to stereo while using 5.1 speakers or have it set to 5.1 while I’m using headphones a lot of the sounds cut out. So make sure to configure your speakers correctly before running the client. Hope this helps.

Here we go again, I love people with such comments. Do you believe if every other game and windows just fine… there must be something wrong with the “system” if ONE game has some issues? Really guys? Really? X.x

The game has an issue with the state of your system. Just because other games don’t doesn’t mean it isn’t your system causing the error. Technically, YES, you can say it’s the game. But if changing a setting on your system fixes the problem with the game then so be it.

ALL games are not made with the same code and therefore should not all work the same with the state of a persons system.

There’s a reason that even though all my games worked fine with my Nvidia drivers that once I installed Guild Wars 2 the client warned me that the game had compatability issues with my current Nvidia drivers and that I should download an updated version. However Darksiders 2 and every other game on my system worked just fine with the drivers I currently had.

It’s all about how the game is coded that decides how it interacts with a persons computer configuration. Sometimes changing your computer configuration to a more common configuration is easier than trying to make a programmer write a bunch of code so that a game will run smoothly on a thousand different computer configurations. That’s a LOT of code and a lot of time they could be spending fixing game breaking issues that make it so people can’t play the game at all.

I hope I have opened some peoples eyes as far as to how these things work on the inside. It isn’t just a magic box and screen that does cool stuff. :P

So remember to update your systems to see if that fixes your problem before you go tell the developer that their game is broken and they need to fix it. If that doesn’t fix the problem though then by all means go ahead and tell them. It’s just that sometimes their game wasn’t made with old hardware and software drivers in mind. It’s not the developers fault that they didn’t write compatability code for every driver from 1995 to the present. There’s too many.

I think there’s a typo in the gem store/Primeval armor skin – and on others as well. “Piece” is spelled as “peice”. Though English is not my native language and I don’t know if that’s an alternate spelling, or…?

I’m pretty sure somebody just didn’t know how to spell piece. There’s so much dialogue and text in the game I mean that’s bound to happen. It’s like trying to edit an entire novel. They’re gonna miss things.

just a note, some typos are on purpose, to bring across there accent as it were

The Charr that was talking in the first picture I mentioned sounded like a human woman… lol

Here’s the mail message I was talking about. They put a word in there twice one right after the other when it was only suppose to be there once. See if you can find it.

If you’re not hearing sounds try updating your audio drivers. Also, I find that when I set my speaker settings to stereo while using 5.1 speakers or have it set to 5.1 while I’m using headphones a lot of the sounds cut out. So make sure to configure your speakers correctly before running the client. Hope this helps.

I have noticed a lot of grammatical errors throughout the game.

“Tell” is spelled teel in the Defecting Renegades speech bubble. Just thought I’d point it out. I’ve been trying to report everything that I’ve been able to find wrong with the game so you guys can fix it. I hope this helps. I know it’s not a huge thing. Probably why it was overlooked. Maybe you can also pin this post to the main bug page for people to post spelling errors. I know I’ve recieved mail upon reknown heart completion that has the same word written twice so there are other spelling errors out there.

So if anybody finds a grammar or spelling error post a screenshot of it and describe it here!
