Guild Wars 2

>it takes their health from 100% to full zero

I am aware of that mechanic, I am referring to instantaneous death.

obligatory sarcastic comment about underwater content

That aside… My party has been experiencing a bug where the jellyfish eats someone and it takes their health from 100% to full zero without a down state. I’m not certain if it’s the old ‘transform removes AR’ bug or not, but is anyone else experiencing this? I think it may be correlated to agony. Scale 76 for reference.

Let me first begin by saying that the content is nice, but the fact that you can’t get in if you crash after the event’s completion is extremely disheartening. I understand the point of not wanting people who haven’t completed the meta event to get into the map and leech rewards, but it’s entirely bewildering to be locked out after a client-side error. I’m sorry if this has been brought up before, but after tonight I’ve got an extremely bad taste in my mouth and felt it necessary to express it.

I’m not entirely sure what it’s supposed to be, but the name of the item and the dialog is missing, which leads me to believe that it was placed erroneously.

My mesmer is the only happy thing in Orr right now, it seems!

With a good group, I can generally do AC P2 within 8 minutes. P3 takes a bit more because of the timed burrows, as does P1, but all three are good for running fast.

Another thing I’d recommend is Sorrow’s Embrace P1, that can usually be done super-fast as well.

I’ve tried everything so far in the game, and I’ve decided to try RP as well, just for the heck of it, as I haven’t been that social in-game. What’s the best place to go? I’ve tried guesting to TC and sitting around Serrated Blade in Black Citadel, but I haven’t really seen much.

Help is appreciated!

I love what I’m able to do with the new wardrobe update.

Thoughts? I’m thinking of giving her Light of Dwayna as a backpiece, but I’m iffy on that idea as well.

I haven’t seen this person in a long, long time.

I suppose I should gkick for this kind of inactivity?

On a serious note;

The username I highlighted logged out a few seconds ago, which tells me there’s something wrong with the guild “last seen” feature.

Not really with the fractal itself, but the last chest is really weird. Sometimes I’ll get 2 greens and 1 blue and sometimes 3 rares, a lodestone and a core. But that might be because of the difficulty scale, not sure.

That’s what I mean- the chest is really inconsistent with the other boss-fractal chests. (Maw and Trin) I always seem to get way more from them than molten, and recoil whenever it gets rolled..

I’ve always seen less loot from the boss chest after this fractal.

Has anyone else experienced the same?

Anet employee confirmed the amount of dyes in gift of color will be scaled back to 100.

The only thing that’s obnoxious as all hell to me is how it gets a bouncing CC projectile with every kittening melee attack.

Afaik there is no “melee” attack, just the projectiles themselves. It has a ~0.75s windup so it should be easy to dodge, and if 1 person does, it won’t bounce.

I assumed it was one because it uses the melee animation all trolls use. My B.

This patch is totally socialist propaganda who want to destroy traditional Tyrian values. I also think Mike O’ Brian might actually be a secret Muslim.

GIVE US THE REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE ANET.

It’s obvious that Scarlet was just hired by Kiel in order to spread terror through the ranks of Tyria in order for her to seize control! Why hasn’t anyone else noticed? They’re going to strike soon, we all need to unite under #Evon2014!

With all of the political content in this LS, Tyria is now at risk of falling down a slippery slope of further restriction! First they decide to allow people with different ideas, after they’ll take our weapons and ship us off to labor camps! The citizens of Tyria must fight this oppression before we all become Communists! Everyone will become one class, one armor set, and one weapon, issued by a corrupt, authoritarian Kiel-led police state! We must unite against this tyranny, EVON 2014!!

I honestly feel like there’s too much of it, to the point where it’s turning me away from the new content. Anyone else’s thoughts on this?

Multiple people across the forums and my world have been disconnecting every five minutes or so in WvW maps with no queues, few people, etc.

Due to the sheer amount of disconnecting I feel that this may be a server bug and am posting it here. Sorry if I somehow picked the wrong category.

It’s getting quite annoying, my world has been matched against Darkhaven for the past month.

Recently I tried to do the Arah meta with a few people, and the only way the initial escort could get done was with like 3-4 people. Any more made it a nightmare.

If you have around 5-7. the event spams elites and champions that can one-shot your entire group. I haven’t noticed this issue before, and it’s kind of terrible considering we weren’t a huge group.

Then there’s that random huge stack of mobs right before Anchorage, but that can be cleared before the event starts again.

So, my question is, did they try to scale the event to be “harder” again?

I have experienced the same issue as OP. Very annoying.

I am currently the leader of my guild and I am unable to claim any forts/camps/keeps/etc, saying that I “Do not have permission to claim forts”.

Since I tried standing down and up again, relogging and re-entering the map, I can only assume that this is some sort of bug.

I also would like this. I like going with a red cloth texture on my T3 but am sometimes put off because the details suddenly become an ugly orange-ish color. I’ve been able to find a work-around with Wrath dye, but being able to individually dye the detail on the cloth would be god-amazing. Sadly, though, the only look I can seem to pull off well with this armor set is the light, guardian-esque involving blues, whites, and golds.

Is the weapon switch icon grayed out? If so, try switching manually from your H panel. It’s happened to me before and that generally fixes it.

I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else, but sometimes when I’m trying to view vistas, my camera is simply stuck on my character, with nothing else displayed.

The attached picture is of this happening in EB (Red Overlook vista), which was queued at the time (oh noo, I have to wait 5 minutes, the horrorrrrr!).

Is there any way to fix this issue if it arises, or should I just continue restarting my client when it does?

Okay, obviously this isn’t a HUGE issue, but I’ve noticed my character tends to autoattack with skill #1 whenever I try to use a swiftness-granting utility skill to run past some enemies, often in close proximity to my character.

Has anyone else noticed this issue? It also rarely happens when I dodge roll. Haven’t clicked on any enemy or hit the attack buttons.

Sorry to say, but I don’t think they’ll ever become unbound in the future.

From what I’ve seen, Anet wants ascended items to have at least some grind factor/timegate so they aren’t just instabought like exotics.

I’m referring to the one after the huge mass of spiders.

I’m just curious, as it wasn’t really a problem, unlike the dozens of map glitches that were present in P2.

Does anyone have a post where it’s explained?

I’m sorry to say that this will be a slight rant. I just got done helping my friend (who is newer to the game) with this incredulously obnoxious instance.

Why am I so upset?

The problem lies with the veteran abominations in the instance. Since the player travels with a party of squishy pact soldiers, they stack up 25 stacks of a damage buff and can therefore one-hit a l80 character in full exotic PVT gear. I had to spend about ten minutes carefully kiting and dodging the thing. In direct juxtaposition, the champions in the instance are hilariously easy to kill, and can be facetanked to death.

Please look into this issue, as many players newer to the game could easily become frustrated if not properly geared to deal with this.

I’d rather see more mechanics as opposed to them just slapping in a champion, but that’s my opinion.

I’ve done the entire event just on the mortars. I believe it’s since then been fixed.

I am also experiencing this disappointment.

I have one card and I intend to buy my friend something nice…

Just be like Anet and have Scarlet do it.

I’m a commander in Sorrow’s Furnace and have only seen Angaria completed maybe five times out of the hundred I’ve led the meta. Usually a way to tell if you’re wasting your time or not is if the beacons she activates actually start glowing and functioning as, well, beacons. Generally, though, you’re better off just doing the Didi event.

I’m sorry, but this Scarlet Briar thing is getting slightly obnoxious. Every living story seems to follow the plotline of “NEW GROUP OF ENEMIES SIGHTED… FIGHT IN HIDEOUT.. THEN SCARLET!” (Sorry if this seems harsh, it’s just a bit tiresome.)

I’ve appreciated all of the current references to the previous GW games, but I feel there are way more areas that could be touched upon, such as Maguuma, Crystal Desert, Ring of Fire, etc, etc. Please note I’m not trying to trash the creative ideas of our current story dev teams, but I for one would appreciate more things related to the past, epic stories Anet has developed over the years.

PS; please don’t put finishers on normal mobs. Just please, don’t. Please.

When wielding a weapon such as Moonshine or Courage, or any booze-related items, I suggest that the healing animations on all skills be overwritten with your character taking a swig of it.

A few other weapon ideas would include: Broken bottle dagger, switchblade, and of course, the almighty shiv.

Thoughts/ideas?

Is there anything I can do if I accidentally sold an item to the merchant and didn’t realize it? I checked buyback menus frantically, but to no avail, as I think I left WvW after using a merchant.

The item is worth 120g. Am I screwed?

Edit: Also checked banks, not in there.

This occurs in Sorrow’s Furnace regularly.

After completing the entire world map for my legendary, I’ve been left with a TON of transmutation stones (100+). Honestly, I think it would be reasonable if we could be able to combine four of them in the Mystic Forge for one crystal. Since five stones go for 125 gems and five crystals go for 200, this wouldn’t provide a cheaper way of obtaining a transmutation crystal, just a useful way of getting rid of what we don’t need or use.

Hi, currently on Sorrow’s Furnace, the Temple of Melandru event chain has been bugged for about a week now.

As a commander who frequents temples in Orr, I would appreciate having the issue looked into. We have Gavbeorn’s camp uncontested, and the event chain seems to be stuck on “The Pact is preparing to attack the Temple of Melandru”.

I have recently attempted the Temple of Lyssa meta with a fairly large group (20-30) and the presence of those players naturally resulted in the event being scaled up to match the amount of players present in the area.

The event then spawned a few of the acolytes, who then spammed about 50 mobs and made it impossible to complete, resulting in many players leaving.

After the players left, the mobs are STILL there and are currently churning out the same amount of mobs, making it impossible to finish for the amount of people present.

Edit: Adds also appear to be the same level as Acolyte spawning them.
