Guild Wars 2

There is two reliable ways to get Vision Crystal without crafting it. One is to chose Chest of Ascended Crafting Materials in Chest of Loyalty you get on 30th day of logging in.
Other is to do all dungeon skins and get it from Dungeoneer’s Grandmaster Chest. There is a chance of dropping from bags you get when you feed eaters but I think that chance is so low, I wouldn’t count on it.

All info is here https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vision_Crystal

We are Thorin and Company [TAC] and we are looking for people to join us in adventures!

Are you a PvE player? Most of our members are focused on PvE and we do a lot of dungeons, fractals, open world stuff and have a raid team.

Maybe WvW is what you prefer? We are stationed on Gandara but we have some players playing on other servers. We don’t have organized WvW runs, just members who do it on their own regularly or occasionally.

Or PvP? Some of our members PvP regularly, some occasionally, but most never.

Are you a new player? You are very welcome to join us!

What do we have to offer? We have 400+ members, have existed since game launch, we have fully upgraded guild hall that we rotate every 6 months. Currently we have Lost Precipice. We do guild missions twice a week, trivia once week and raids twice a week. We host other events such as lottery and auction, jumping puzzle events, dungeon runs, open world events. We have a forum, TS and facebook page.

What is our policy? We want our members to have fun and enjoy the game. We don’t require anything beside being nice to your fellow guildies and to be helpful. We don’t support any sort of elitism and asking for members on guild chat for stuff are obligating you to accept anyone who wants. This doesn’t apply to raids and agony resistance due it’s mechanics. You are required to speak English in guild chat.

What are requirements to join? If you read all this and it suits you that is all you need! You can be a new, old, returning player, pro or a noob.

How do I join? Send a mail or whisper in game to me or apply on our forum. http://www.thorinandcompany.shivtr.com

If you have any other questions, you know how to find me!

As a guild leader for 400+ members of various ranks, being able to send mail to specific group of my members at once would be absolutely awesome.

We have forums, facebook group, use guild chat and message of the day to inform our members but it’s not as efficient as I like. We also send mails to each person we kick due to absence telling them they can rejoin at any time when they are back, can be very tedious if we kick 50+ people at once.

Being able to send one mail to one rank that reaches each member of it would solve all problems with letting each member know of announcements, events, warnings and kick messages. It would keep a lot of guild communication within game, and that I know from many of my members is what they prefer.

I understand limitations to mails outside guilds, I like them, but I don’t see why any limitations within the guild. If it’s settable permission I can give to specific group, it’s easy to control.

I didn’t know where else to submit a suggestion. I would like to hear other opinions of people and would be even more great if I could get official response on this matter.

Thank you!

Hello!

I have sent a ticket but they told me to post here, so here I am. Here is what I sent:

Me and my boyfriend have been trying to finish this step of the story, but boss fight always bugs for us. Here is the list of all bugs we had that made fight unbeatable:

- On second phase with updrafts, when he launches his heavy attack and you need to fly above it, updrafts don’t work and we always die. We had this bug each time we managed to reach this point.
- If we wipe and restart he destroys ground where rift stands and we can’t reach it to be able to use it. Only solution was to restart instance.
- If someone dies they don’t get ported back to the fight until everyone else dies and then you can restart it. You don’t stay dead on ground to be resurrected, it teleports you up and you can’t do anything.
- Canah(spelling?) sometimes bugs and never gives his shield to be used and boss would also become invulnerable saying you need to use shield to continue.

We also noticed that more you retry the fight, more bugs appear.

Thank you for the help, I hope you will give us some solution soon, we would like to finish the story.

I searched the forums but I couldn’t find the answer.

Is there any particular reason why in game mail is limited at 10 mails? It’s rather small number and I have mails I wish to keep but can’t because as guild leader I tend to get a lot of mail. Even with empty inbox 10 mails sometimes is not enough and I can’t even read all my mail without deleting some.

It’s not really a problem, just a little inconvenience, so I was wondering why is limit there?

Thank you!

It sorts green items first but any type can go into them. It’s just if you have that bag and get a green that green will go to that bag before going into any other.

Basically anything goes into those bags with greens having a priority.

I’m having the same problem. My achievement is stuck on 3/5, while all other are progressing. I have completed 6 or 7 different full invasions so far and only two were in overflow. I always managed to get to Scarlet on time.

I hope you fix this soon. ^^

Kyven.7514:

I just did the one in EB and didn’t see my badges go up in my collection. Is this intended or a bug?

There is a chance they directly go to to wallet and didn’t display in inventory. Also if you clicked decompose all collectables before checking it went to wallet for sure. Check next time how many you have in wallet and then after you open a chest to see if number changed.

If you are already checking wallet and it’s not there then it’s probably a bug especially if other puzzles still give badges.

There have been many patches since game came out. I haven’t downloaded newest patch yet, but my game files are a bit over 16gb on hard disk. I assume this patch is similar size like usual ones which is around 500-600mb.

All patches together are at least 5gb I’d say.

Also GW2 downloader is a bit weird since % doesn’t reflect size of data but number of files. For example if it has 100 files and it’s on let’s say 80% and shows you downloaded 50mb, rest 20% may be 1mb since all 20 files you have left are in total 1mb or it could be 1gb if those 20 are so big.

• Time played timer- There was a game, probably Tera, where at every hour you have played it would give you a pop up saying something like: You have played for 1 hour, take a break. I would like to see it as option you can enable because even with in game clocks I tend to lose track of time. I’d like to have such reminder and it also makes me feel as if developers and producers care for you not to play too much at once.

It’s nothing very important, just a neat little tool that could help people who aren’t that good at keeping track of time and wish they were.

• Enemies hp as numbers- One more thing I would like to see out of pure curiosity of mine is how much hp do pve enemies have in numbers. Just pve though. For pvp it should remain unseen since you can’t see friendly target’s hp either.

Just bumping so it doesn’t get missed! ^^

Thorin and Company [TAC] welcomes you to come along to our in-game event in celebration of the Easter holidays! Based in Gandara, Saturday the 6th and Sunday the 7th of April 2013 will be full of fun and gold give-aways of 100g! There is nothing to lose and no requirements; we welcome everybody across the game.

What is it?

The Easter Hunt will ask players to try and track down a [TAC] easter bunny. Players will get a sneak clue in Divinity’s Reach say chat, and then a riddle will be published on this website, which they will need to solve to win a prize. The riddle will ask the players to bring a certain item to a certain location where an easter bunny hides. The first players to complete this will win prizes. There will be two riddles across the weekend, released at different times.

When is it?

The event will take place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of April (one week after Easter Sunday). The first riddle will be released on Saturday at 5pm BST (6pm CET), with the second being released at 5pm BST on Sunday.

Do you need to be in [TAC]?

No. We welcome all players of the game even if they are not in the guild!

What can I win?

The fastest players to the [TAC] bunny will win money prizes of 100g! Per riddle: 1st Place – 35g, 2nd Place – 10g, 3rd Place – 5g.

For more info and more detail explanation visit http://thorinandcompanyeaster.shivtr.com/

We are looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

My guild never had a problem to kill it. It is hard but it doesn’t get fire shield if you don’t hit it with conditions. So we all attack it without conditions and we always manage to kill it.

It’s easy to avoid overflow by making a party with someone who is not in the overflow and then joining them. Usually works all fine.

I just want Scepter to have those footprints like every other main hand legendary. Hopefully it will happen some time soon.

I know I sure have. xD

At lvl 10 agony doesn’t hit so hard so just timing heals is enough. My advice is to do lvl 10 until you get at least one ring before you move to lvls 15+ or so unless you don’t mind timing heals very very precisely.

As for what each boss does for agony I’m gonna write down as much as I can remember atm.

1.Jumping fractal- Agony comes from end boss Asura when we sends like 3 balls at you. They can be dodged but easiest way to dodge them is to dodge to him instead of back. Also he won’t usually try to attack you if you stay on max range. As for Old Tom boss before you start him don’t run into the room but on it’s corners to place crystals from center to the each left and right panel so you can charge them more easily. You have to put crystals in them in order to charge fan so once they are out put them again to turn fan on.

2. Swamp fractal- Mossman boss gives agony when he hits you with axe. It is dodgable. If you are low at health and your heals are at cd run to the water and swim a bit to reset combat and get health back. I don’t remember when tree boss gives agony.

3. Water fractals- In both Jellyfish gives agony when she eats you. Get out as fast as you can and agony won’t most likely kill you.

4.Charr Fractal- Last boss gives agony here and you can avoid it by staying at max range, otherwise I don’t think it’s dodgable since it is like a big white aoe.

5.Grawl Fractal- Shaman boss gives agony when he shoots an arrow to you so you can dodge it if you notice him facing you and trying to shoot arrow.

6.Dredge Fractal- Last boss gives agony and it’s in their circles (I think) so avoid those and you should be fine. Usually standing a bit further from those bosses will keep you agony free.

7.Jade Fractal- This ones gives agony when tanticles are killed first time before boss starts and later on 2nd phase after you kill all mobs. This one is impossible to dodge so just spam heals when it hits you. Also if you die and get option to go back at check point there is like a wall of agony on the way back you can’t avoid.

8.Seal Fractal- Boss gives agony in the aoe circles he spawns so staying out of them will keep you safe.

I think that’s all.

Change servers option was free till recently. I don’t think it will ever be free again to be honest.

I can only tell you to use guesting until you collect enough in game money to buy transfer. If you are already at lvl 80 it should not take too long. It’s 35 gold atm I think and if you do one of any dungeon run per day for example you will earn around 1 gold at least.

Good luck!

I agree on most already listed. I would add:

- All currencies should be account wide. Saves time when wanting to transfer coins from one char to another. Gems are account wide, why not coins as well? ^^

It works only on downed players.

I have question for all of you unhappy people:

If you have so many friends you want to play with in EU and NA why didn’t you all make accounts in same server when you started playing since time zones are no problem for you?

Or why don’t you all transfer to one server now while it’s still free? Guild influence is not that hard to get.

Don’t blame ArenaNet for your bad planning of your gameplay. They are doing best they can and maybe one day we will have NA/EU guesting, but till then be happy they are trying. No game is perfect and no matter how great professionals one company has it’s impossible to have everything right away.

This is a great game and time it takes to fix stuff and bring new one is shortest possible. Instead of complaining about everything, be more thankful, because if they didn’t try you would have got no game to play today.

1. Since the day game came out
2. Around 300h
3. 30 gold but I’ve spent a lot
4. Yes my ele which is my main and only char I play
5. I explore and do dungeons for gear so I earn what I pick up while I do those things
6. I use it a lot
7. I have few times
8. Few times
9. I have no idea.. I don’t count it really
10. I don’t expect anything :p
11. Dunno..10+?
12. 400 Tailor and 350 Cooking
13. Ones I have 250+ yes since I don’t want to waste bank space
14. Every second of it
15. More pretty armors

I don’t have such hard drive so I’ll just copy files around. My net is not slow but downloading anything bigger then 500mgb takes around 30+ min and on University it would take 5 xD

I haven’t taught of that. Thanks for the idea!

Is there some place where we can manually download patches and updates? I have faster net at university and I would like if I could download content here and then just install it home.

Thank you!

Ivien is my char’s name. It’s name I generally use online and it’s created from my real name Ivana. For name to be properly read in English it would be spelled Evien.

In game I’m a noble with dead parents. If I could choose I would make my char be from old noble family like some from Northern Europe. She is an elementalist destined for greatness.

As someone who studies 3D modeling and animation all I can say it’s a hell of a job to create everything to fit every single character perfectly.

They would have to make armor for every single possible way of character can look. We can edit how tall chars are, are they tin or not and many other elements of appearance on rest of the body and head. In order for armor to perfectly fit they would need to create armor for every single possibility someone can make.

We have 5 races + genders + professions + all appearance editing. It’s just too many possibilities and it’s quite reasonable they didn’t make armor to perfectly fit every of them. And it’s not really that important aspect of the game and differences are usually very small and most of people who play don’t even notice them.

This game is huge and attention to details is amazingly done in overall, that I think we should forgive them for having some small armor misfittings.

My Elementalist

It works it just takes time to charge which can be a bit annoying in dungeons or similar where instant would have done better job instead of it taking almost as much as time as normal revive. Additional effect do apply, only fire effect seems not to stick for long but I didn’t get to test it if it works after icon disappeared.

Also it only works on downed player, not dead.

Right now there is a very weird bug present at Blootide Coast area. It’s like everything is speeded up 100 times.

For example skills trigger 10+ times in a sec, you take tones of hits in that same second, mobs show up from no where or stand at one spot far away and then next thing is they are attacking you and you are almost dead.

It’s like a lag but then all actions that would have happened in next min or so happen in a sec.

I tried recording it but program I used is bugging and isn’t recording game but my screen so description is all I can give right now. Maybe someone else will be able to post a video.

Also everyone is experiencing same thing, and while it’s funny to watch it’s impossible to play anywhere around group of mobs or similar.

I play on Desolation World.

I also have been experiencing horrible random lag. It’s not area connected nor it matters if there is tones of people around or no one. It usually happens when I fight something but sometimes it happens when I don’t. It all started 2,3 days ago.

I can move but nothing around me moves and no skills respond. I have very good computer and internet connection and I never had any lag issues in any other game or similar.

If it matters I play on European Desolation World.

You can npc and salvage coin bought items, but those bought with karma you can’t.

I don’t know what else could help you. I listed all tricks I use to survive without listing those 7,8,9 button skills because I don’t know which one you have and on what lvl I learned ones I have.

Staff heals all nicely also heal from dagger as off hand weapon is good too. I like staff heal quite a bit cause I can run around and get healed still.

I’m an elementalist too and I never had problem with personal story quests even if few lvl above mine. Try using different set of weapon, it might help kill it faster.

With Staff you get 2 extra heals from Water as well as Speed buff to move away faster in Air with aoe skill that stuns and in Fire you have extra evade skill from Fire.

Or you could use Scepter with Dagger that gives you extra heal and shield that chills in Water, in Earth that is earthquake skill that throws all opponents on the ground, and in Air you have skill that pushes you and mob away from each other.

Also if you have that Gryphon Something skill that summons an elemental based helper use it too. Earth one lives the longest and is the best help. I’m not sure on what lvl you can get it though.
