Hello!
Happy to see Halloween come back, that’s a great festival!
I do have one question though. You talked about weapon skins Gale, but what about the mini gwynefyrdd from ToT bags? Is it going to stay obtainable?
I’ve opened more than 1 million bags so far (no kidding…) and still haven’t got mine… Time is running out and I’m a bit worried that I won’t get it in time if it were to disappear.
Thanks for the news and, hopefully, the reply to my question!
Hi,
First of all, I’d like to thank ArenaNet for the opportunity to test the HoT demo.
I’ll start with what I liked, beginning with the looks of it all. The landscape is really beautiful and I love the new Revenant skins (armor, weapons, skills). The level design is also great, I love the verticality there and the fact that we can reach certain areas only by using our masteries.
I enjoyed hearing my character talk during the story instance, that’s a nice touch. I don’t have much to say about the story per say though since it was a bit too brief to have share valuable feedback.
I also liked the Wyvern fight and the new defiance system which will probably be linked to neat mechanics. I look forward to seeing what ANet has prepared for us regarding boss encounters.
The Revenant seems refreshing and cool but it’s kind of hard to judge since the profession is not finished yet.
In regards to gliding, I was a bit afraid I’d find it a bit stiff to use. It turns out that I really enjoyed it and I had no problem controlling it.
Now what I liked a bit less, starting with the mastery UI. I love the mastery system but the UI is terrible. It is not intuitive at all. I had a hard time just to succeed in allocating points and even when I managed to do it, I wasn’t sure that I’d done it correctly. It’s also not clear whether I have to earn XP after spending a point to validate it or not. I asked my friends what they thought of it and they were just as lost. Honestly, I think it needs heavy rework.
There was a little bit of lag with the skills. I think the stress test was quite satisfying regarding lag and FPS but not perfect. It might be linked to the lag but there was a small glitch with the Wyvern when flying. It would appear in down state from time to time and disappear right away (just its skin, not the actual mob).
During the adventure with the vines, I noticed a little bug. If you are in the adventure and the cinematic triggers (with the big vines), the UI of the adventure disappears from the screen (time left, number of vines fried,…) after the video is finished so you need to start over if you want to get the UI back.
That’s all for now. I enjoyed the beta and I hope we’ll get to test more stuff later on!
Thanks ANet!
Hello. I don’t know whether it was intended or not because their intention might have been to refresh the LFG tool instantly whenever there’s something new. And this idea seems to be a good one but this is without considering the number of messages.
The LFG tool is a very popular tool, players love it and use it very often. But since we’re that many using it, it’s become very difficult to actually use it properly with those instant updates.
You absolutely need to take a step back and make it usable again.
Thank you.
Same here, those two buttons don’t seem to work anymore.
Even if you beat your knight, there’s no guaranteed reward unless the entire map manages to down all three.
Which seems inherently flawed to me.
Thats not true, … the event can fail, if you killed your Knight, you’ll get loot.
Nope. I participated in killing a knight from beginning to end and got nothing (2 knights were killed including the one I was fighting and yes, I had the right attunement). It should work the way you say it should but it doesn’t, at least not for everyone. As a matter of fact, the problem in which not everyone gets rewarded is still the same, whether chests are on corpses or on your screen.
It’s not only when you fought against the one who stayed alive that you didn’t get a chest. On my server, we killed 2 knights and I was part of one of those fights from beginning to end. And guess what? I didn’t get a chest. We failed the event because the third one wasn’t defeated but from what I understand, from what it’s said in the patch notes and from what my friends told me (since they got a reward with a fail), I should have been rewarded.
“No more tricks, Scarlet” seems to be broken. Friends and I succeeded in completing the event and we were never hit by the hologram’s laser nor did we go near the marks but we never got the achievement.
“In Tune” seems to be working though. It took me 5 or 6 tries to understand how it really works. First of all, you need to know that the prime hologram counts. It means that you must not shoot him unless you have the white light boon. If you touch him once without the right boon, you’ll fail.
Also, you must never touch any of the small holograms without having the corresponding boon. If you want to kill one of the red holograms, make sure you have the red boon active. If you don’t and shoot him anyway, you’ll fail.
That’s my experience and I got the achievement once I took every hologram into account (including the big one) and once I managed to avoid shooting any hologram without having the right boon (understand that if you don’t have any boon, you must not shoot).
Same here. Thanks for fixing this issue quickly.
Could we have an official answer on this matter please? I feel like I’m flooding this thread with the same question but it’s been about a month since we have asked for this and still no news.
Still asking for an official answer, whatever it is, thanks.
Could someone from ArenaNet give us an official statement on this, please? Thanks.
I got the achievement today after completing the Lornar passage for the third or fourth time. I’ve got no clue on why it worked this time…
Hi,
I’m stuck at 12/13 and I keep doing them all over and over again. I’m not a farmer so I’m kind of getting tired of doing those since I have done them all the right way and several times (real server, no disconnections, no character switch, from the beginning to the end, etc.). I have kept a record of which maps I had already done and so on…
I know you are investigating the problem ANet so I won’t complain but if you could just give the last point to those who were supposed to get it for I wouldn’t even know which map to complete once again, it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
I know collecting special minis may seem a bit silly to many players and frankly, if I had known from the beginning that I wouldn’t be able to complete the collection, I wouldn’t really care. But for a year now, I and many others have spent time collecting all those special minis from GW1, events, the gem store, the trading post, etc. in order to achieve this goal. And guess what, I was ready to continue for years on. Just like other players want achievements, legendaries, PVP ranks and what not, others want to complete their mini collection.
If you have ever collected stuff, you know you want to complete your collection and you really don’t want a hole in the middle of your showcase. Especially when this hole is never to be filled just because you never had and never will have the possibility to earn the one mini in game.
I can take the fact that some minis are available for a short period of time and if you can’t log in during those few weeks when it’s available, well, too bad, but you had at least a chance even though you couldn’t make it.
With Mr. Sparkles, there’s just no way of getting it in game (at least for now and until ANet says otherwise, it doesn’t seem to be the plan) but only during conventions outside the game. Okay so, this is a game, we are collecting stuff in the game, and we are supposed to mix this with “real life” events to continue our collection in the game. I don’t get it, I really don’t. It’s just like saying: “hey guys, you are amongst our most dedicated players who collect stuff and pay for it so to thank you, we make you pay $X to travel around the world so your collection isn’t broken and if you don’t, you’re screwed”. I know it’s not meant to be taken that way but that’s just the way it feels and it’s really bad.
I understand them wanting to give a gift to those who attend the convention but why a special mini? It’s been done before with other things way more acceptable like T-shirts (some were in-game), collector editions, and so on. Why not a special skin or something like that? I wouldn’t mind as long as it has nothing to do with a collection one is likely to make such as special minis.
Please ANet, undersand that we have put so much energy and some of us quite a bit of money to complete the collection because we just like it, that’s an important part of the game for us. By doing what you seem to be doing with Mr. Sparkles, you are taking that part of the game away from us because I really don’t see many people continue the collection after that. I know my friends and I won’t because it’s too frustrating. And what it means for you is that many people won’t buy the future minis you will sell on the gem store. No collectors means no buyers (well, not many).
So please, make it possible to earn it in-game somehow, in an honest way. Don’t let us down, your most dedicated players are counting on you (and no, traveling around the world cannot be considered as a requirement to qualify someone as a dedicated player…).
Thanks for considering this and letting us know what this is all about and what you’re gonna do about it.
3rd tactic.
We fight it the normal way, not being concerned about avoiding aoe. After the last cannon barrage phase just before the end of the fight one of us switched to another character, went inside and started running to the boss. He did get the achivement .
I want to thank you very much sir. My team and I switched toons at the end of the dungeon, when only Horrik was left, and we all got the achievement (except the one who launched the dungeon of course).
If you want to get it, that’s the way to go.
Hi,
My experience is that I have run this dungeon more than 10 times and still haven’t got the achievement while I was able to dodge every attack from Horrik when he was alone in the end (and almost every time). I haven’t managed to evade all his attacks from the start to the end of the fight (including canons) so that might be it (though it’s kind of a crazy achievement for temporary content, seriously).
At least, that’s what I was inclined to think until one of my friends got the achievement. He’s been hit by AOEs all along and even died completely. Still he got the achievement. Ok, what the heck? I’m glad for him but clearly there’s something wrong with this achievement.
I’m okay with bugs once in a while, it happens. But don’t keep us in the dark please ANet. I love this dungeon, it’s really cool and I think it’s the best dungeon there is in the game at this time. But unfortunately, it’s getting on my nerves because of this bugged achievement and that’s a shame.
Please ArenaNet, give us an official statement on this thread so we can better understand what’s going on. Remember, it’s temporary content and many of us don’t want to miss out. Thank you.
I don’t understand. Is the goal to make the paying customers as angry as possible ? Just like many others, I’ve bought 3 minis after I got the other 2 for free and after ANet made a big announcement about them being available in the gem store and also after Anthony Ordon from ANet said “You’ll have enough to make any two you’d like if you play all five days.”
I feel like I’m one of those guys who can’t help whining for this or that but seriously… enough is enough. We can’t even sell it because it’s account bound. Are you seriously fine with telling us “Hey, you spent 350 gems for nothing but thank you for your donation, we appreciate it !” Wait, what ?
That’s just wrong.
Hi,
I’m a huge fan of GW2 but we all know there is a lot of issues in this game. Still, I can deal with balance issues, with some stuff not working properly all the time, or even parts of the game you can’t play for a while because of bugs.
What I’m having a hard time dealing with is that horrible siren. There’s no way anyone can play in those conditions and even if you decide to get rid of your headset for a while, the game will crash to get you even more angry.
I have had this bug 4 times in a 2 hour span tonight and I have spent 1h30 of those 2 hours waiting to get back to WvW because I was on a waiting list each time. And of course, the game considered I had ALT+F4 so I had to repair my armor for no reason. I’m sorry but this is unacceptable. This bug has been going on for months and it’s not a slight inconvenience.
I want to continue playing this game, I love it and I understand this is a new experience for you ANet and that we’re at the beginning of the journey. Still, you simply cannot let bugs like this go on for so long. This is just ruining the game.
I won’t beg but I certainly won’t spend another evening getting angry for a game supposed to relax me because of this so annoying alarm sound. I don’t like ultimatums and I’m just one only player amongst millions. But I have to tell you that if I can’t play any part of the game because of that, I’ll play something else instead.
So please make it a priority (except for exploits, there’s no way anything can be more important than allowing us to play in good, well not even good, decent conditions) and let us enjoy the game instead of making us go crazy.
Thank you for your understanding and for the work you may (need to) put into this.
Hi,
I didn’t get my reward either after 2h30 of fighting and being disconnected when the boss was at 5% of his life. I haven’t been able to log back in for 20 minutes after what I reappeared in lava and died.
There was no chest for me and I tried dozens of instances (switching between instances for 40 minutes) and I finally gave up and disconnected.
I did the event for fun but it was a 2h30 fight and when you crash at the last moment and don’t get anything while your friends are all saying how happy they are to have gotten great items you’ve been trying to get for months (good for them), you’re just disgusted you couldn’t get a chance to have one of those.
I am a really invested player (in time and money) and I love the game, I really do. But things like that are more than just a bummer. It’s not the end of the world but I don’t think I’m going to reconnect any time soon unless something is done to help us get our deserved reward.
I know you didn’t anticipated that problem and I don’t blame you for that but I think the right thing to do would be to allow those who completed the event and didn’t get a reward to open the chest somehow (a special chest in mail?).
I’m glad you are looking into it and I hope you’ll make up for this problem.
Thank you.
