Guild Wars 2

Crescendo Forte.4821:

I was testing out mounts with a friend. He’s the type that rebound his A/D keys to strafe. I’m the type that unbound my strafe keys, replacing them with skill keys. We both prefer hard turning with our mouse, and we both utilize free-camera. We found some annoying inconsistencies that made mounts a chore for him, while more natural for me. We also found a few control annoyances/inconsistencies.

• Strafe keys SOMETIMES work, but only while moving. Otherwise, it just turns. For those that use their strafe keys to actually move, this is unnatural and annoying. Sometimes your mount doesn’t even turn.

• Holding right click and using A/D keys does not turn your mount while standing in place. Holding Left-Click does.

• Free-camera doesn’t work. Camera locks on mount wherever it’s facing, while moving.
  • Side-note, I understand why no first-person mode (head in mount), but I think it’d be cool

As for jumping and such, I very much enjoy the jumping. The race-car turning is something for people to get used to, but turning in place shouldn’t have to be an ordeal. Others have mentioned how raptors get stuck on stairs.

These 3 points are exactly what is bothering me with the raptor mount. I love the feel when it moves, I love that you can’t change directions instantly as if you were on foot but the 3 points listed here keep it from being PERFECT and I really hope these will be changed for full release.
I would just add that while holding right-click and standing still it does turn your mount but it will always turn it to face were the camera is pointed no matter what strafe key you are holding and that makes it useless.

Well, my challenge was for the “first” person to beat it more than 20 times and that has been done. But if someone else wants to offer their gold for a new challenge to beat it more than 21 times be my guest. Also if someone wants to post a screenshot with 22+ finishes he/she is more than welcome to do so but sadly without the monetary compensation.

Very nice, good job man. Sending the gold now. I knew it was possible and I’m glad someone did it.

The counter doesn’t go up that way.

This is what happens when you get a nice Winter Wonderland JP instance (more in attached screenshot). I’m wondering if anyone has done it more times. So here’s a little challenge…

The first person to post a legitimate screenshot where he/she finished the JP more than 20 times will receive 100 gold in-game from me. This offer ends when this years Wintersday ends.

Have you tried being the only one that kicked the particular chicken? Because I’ve had an issue that if anyone kicked the chicken before me it wouldn’t register for the achievement and since a lot of people just kick the chickens to get the feathers a lot of them are pre-kicked at least once. Try kicking one until it disappears and then wait for it to respawn and make sure you are the only one who is kicking the chicken.

Sorry to bring up this old thread but I think that there are some excellent ideas here. I just don’t get why the combination of stats has to be restricted. For example if I want to have ascended trinkets for my healer druid without toughness I have to hope to drop the trinkets from the raid bosses (and we all know how likely that is) and even there are no ideal combinations (because they don’t exist at all).

The idea of being able to do every possible combination of stats is very liberating. Trying something like Power, Condition Damage and Healing Power (maybe even Precision mixed in) sounds interesting to me, but such stat combo doesn’t exist at all and with the current system is very unlikely to ever get introduced because new material, name and all that would have to be added and honestly who cares about Healing Power outside of raids.

It just seems silly to me to block build diversity this way…

Yup, I was trying to do it too and couldn’t because of the halloween decorations on the ropes. Shame, guess we will have to wait for the halloween to end.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

I just finished this mission and I’ve encountered the same thing. The dragon is not visible from certian distance. I had to get about half way through the courtyard to even see him (still didn’t update the quest directions). To make the quest go further I had to come very close to the dragon (almost to his feet), then he roared which made me run in fear and the quest updated to regroup beyond the gate.
