I’d say wiki the Globs: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glob_of_Dark_Matter there will be a list of everything it’s used in. If there’s nothing you wanna go for delete your excess. No reason to keep them as they are fairly easy to come by if you decide differently later on.
Yeah had this happen more then a few times to me since the map came out. Best way is just go to character select and come back or guild hall and then exit to return to map so you can stay where you were if your in the middle of something and not have to waste time/money wping. I assume a lot of the bugs in siren’s landing haven’t been fixed since anet is in crunch for PoF right now. Hopefully some of the issues like this one will get taken care of at some point.
You are rewarded, you get kills if your skilled = more bags. Not sure what else you’d really be wanting but asking to be handed something just cause you l33t with the keyboard is kinda silly.
It’s funny how people are saying to bring them back when they were never there in the first place. Also how does anyone know they are being scrapped and not moved to another part of the game or story down the road? Kinda silly to see an outcry over data-mind stuff that was decided purely internally to be changed before it was ever brought to the public imo. Anet never announced something and then took it away, so I see no problem here.
Try finding a tag to follow on one of the maps maybe to zerg around. If they are doing well you can easily take a lot of stuff and get participation up fast. Also remember XP boosters help quite a bit with reward tracks along with guild hall reward track booster can be another 10% if one of your guilds has it. If you prefer soloing I’d say just watch where stuff is being taken and keep an eye on call outs when trying to avoid other zergs running around while flipping camps/shines/sentries.
Yes, we have needed this since gliding came out. I still have trouble jumping around in the game whether it’s jumping puzzles or map completion cause of the wonkiness of it. We either need to be able to have a check box for it or more preferably be able to rebind it so it’s not tied into the jump button if we don’t want it to be. Not really sure what’s stopping this from happening but imo it’s long overdue.
Yeah same thing been happening to me I noticed today. I believe I was fine when I first came into the map. However after I was in the Dwayna’s Reliquary area and got her speed buff put on me, that’s when my gliding got funky. Not sure if that was the reason or not but those things happened around the same time. Maybe using the special speed skills at the Wyvern Den poi area fighting the boss there messed it up. Or some combination of those.
Hopeful it get fixed soon, had to changed characters because it was really messing with my head. When I changed I was fine, but only played a few minutes before needing to logging off.
Yeah very unhappy they would double the price of the new skins, I don’t buy BL skins often but I do when I think something matches well with one of my characters. 2 tickets though for new stuff just seems too steep for me. Hopefully it isn’t recurring.
yeah I can get to character select now and click on one of them, it’ll go to the loading screen then after a few seconds game crashes out.
Don’t call them a cheat and unfair just because you cannot handle them. It makes you look bad.
@AncientYs I assume you didn’t actually read his post. Try reading it before responding. He was asking for clarification about a class.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and all those you collaborated with on this. I know my scribe character will appreciate all the new inventory space he’s about to get. I really wasn’t expecting to see the mystic forge stuff get added, that’s a wonderful surprise there. Honestly wasn’t expecting this list to be so comprehensive, just puts a smile on my face when I look at it.
I see people questioning about the dowels being in there, but as a scribe I completely understand it. A fair amount of maths goes into making stuff in any sort of number and sometimes you miscalculate and then you have left over pieces but you don’t want to get ride of since you know you’ll make more of that item a bit later. And now it’s just stuck in your inventory till that time.
think im gonna sacrifice my first 350 tickets for science unless someone at anet enlightens me
Bless you and good luck with your findings if you decide to do it. Can’t personally imagine it being nearly worth it, so I don’t think I’ll ever get it. You never know though they could have balanced the loot table accordingly for it. fingers crossed
I am genuinely enthusiastic about this update, can’t wait to see it all in game. The Legendary backpack looks pretty awesome, really wanna see the animations on it!
Vine Tooth is a toughie. Best thing to do is find a populated map early on after meta reset and tag up for east pylons and put it in lfg that you going for Vine Tooth and let map chat know. Sometimes you get people that know what they’re doing and sometimes not but never had a problem getting 10-25 people for the event at the end when I did as such. Took me near 10 attempts to kill him when I was on that collection a few months ago so I completely understand the frustration. Jut gotta keep plugging away, you’ll get there. Good luck.
Either a check box or separate the jump and glide buttons so we can key bind glide to whatever we want would be wonderful.
Very awesome mastery. It is a bit touchy to use at times, but otherwise been using it has been a blast. I also think it coming out with this map in particular has made the experience of both the map and the mastery so great. They both benefit one another so well.
Can’t wait to save up and get it into my guild hall as well. That really surprised me in the best way that it is able to be added there. I really hope that it’s a sign of things to come both for masteries and guild halls. More things should be done in tandem like this imo.
Yes, would either love a check box for on/off or to be able to separately key bind the function that’s not tied to jumping would be greatly appreciated. If they went back and improved, added and fix a lot of the zoning for the no fly areas that would also be appreciated.
Whichever is quickest and less dev work I’m all for, something really does need to be done with this. Been frustrated about it since the feature went in and it’s a shame since I love(d) the updates that put in gliding and core Tyria gliding.
Still able to gather from my guild hall and my friends guild hall just fine since patch. It’s the output level that matters. Did one of your guilds upgrade it to match that of the other one? That would explain why you can’t then anymore (and just a coincidence that it coincide with the patch if that is the case). Otherwise you should be able to if both guild halls are at different outputs.
I’m really not sure the “Mad Scientists” tools were intended to be included — they don’t include any voice, just a “vacuum” sound for plants, lightning for trees, and laser-ish for metals. They definitely don’t say anything. (I say, as a user of them, who also finds the “you jumped” an infuriating thing…)
Thank you for the clarification. Was wondering about if it was just for the voicing or not for the items. For some reason I automatically assumed it covered everything sound wise. Hence my confusion on some of the tools I noted in my second post.
Are you sure its not coz you’re sound settings aren’t saving? Since the sound update my sound settings won’t save changes. Have you checked if the mute item chatter has unchecked itself because you logged out unsaving the option? It’s under the player chatter box so it may have looked like it was checked when you looked again.
I had double checked before I made the first post, and just did again; yep it’s checked. Still having the bugs.
Also add the mad scientists harvesting tool to the list. Heard it from a player next to me as we gathered up some potatoes in Dissa a few days ago. I mainly here the Reap-r Tron in wvw, don’t think I’ve actually heard it in pve so far. I also ran into ounce hearing the Glitter Bomb in VB but only for a two uses then didn’t hear it for the rest of said players gathering (was in flax farm spot). There really doesn’t seem to be any consistency to hearing these aside from Reap-r Tron in wvw I hear every time when a player uses it and I’m near.
Edit: ok guess I’m having a dumb here, the sound option is alone for audio as in if any part has actual voicing? Or is it suppose to include the unique sound animations of said items besides voicing?

I have heard rumors that a dev has confirmed it will be nerfed on tuesday (heard they were in the chat of a WP stream). They called it an “exploit”. I think they are referring to the heavy bags and not the leather hides. We will see tho.
So you heard from a guy about another guy talking to a dev on a stream… yep sounds legit. We’ll see I guess but it sounds totally fake.
As someone who has strongly voiced his dislike of afk farming (and nothing has changed in that regard) I see no problem in this. The players here seem to be actively playing the game (if you take everything at value) and doing the leather farm just in a different way then most people. The problem with afk farming is those people either use bots or only check in ounce an hour (hence not ‘active’ in game) so they don’t get kicked to character select. These people are in game and found a unique way to do one of the ‘farms’ in a new way.
While that said I do see why there is backlash on this and tension from others. It is very similar (look wise) to afk farming. Though it is not, people are very weary of this and it’s a very touchy subject to a lot of people who feel cheated by said group (afk farmers) of people. It is exacerbated by the fact anet at least appears to be doing little or nothing to said farmers around the game. Hence the hurt feelings of the player base on the subject.
In conclusion if this is happening with said players active in the game and not using any sort of bots or macro’s to do actions for them. Therefore no rule breaking, I personally have no problem with it. What it comes down to though isn’t me, or anyone else. It’s anet. I’m sure if this becomes a big enough thing they will at least comment on it. Until that said possible time all we can do is fall back on our current knowledge of said rules that have been stated.
I remember back in the hay day of AB meta when this was brought up and dev responded by saying it wasn’t that big an issue. Now since the AB nurf all the trolls are ‘back out in the world’ if you will and do all the other metas again. I’d say maybe 50% of all world bosses and map metas I have done since the AB nurf I’ll see the chests trolled with a merchant, or TP’s, bobble heads, AV boxes, food, etc…. Really not sure how this isn’t a big enough issue for anet not to do something. It’s only gotten worst since AB and back then I thought it was bad.
Normally the click to target first works, but I’ve found a few times I can’t find a spot, I’ll stand then inside the chest and go first person and slowly turn while looking around, always have found a spot that way where I can click on the chest to loot or even just get the prompt by it’s self. But having to go to such lengths to loot a chest after a meta is just sad, really hope something is done.
I remember doing this, heard people in my guild get it within just a couple nodes but more often then not it’ll take 2 or 3 dozen tries. I was one of the unlucky ones and I believe it took me around 130 nodes to get it. It’s just pure rng, for the good and bad of it.
I’ve encountered both of these bugs as well since the option came into the game (and I check boxed it ofc). I really do like this sound feature and hope they fix the bugs soon.
Would be a very nice QoL feature for the guild hall vendors, same issue if you buying from the decorations npc.
I think it’d be really neat is there were ascended bags we could craft similar to the process is for gear/weapons but tailored to bags for 25 slots and then maybe have a legendary bag that is as in depth as making a legendary weapon but for bags. The perk would be 25 (maybe bump it up to 30) slots and you could change the type of bag whenever you wanted. Like have it invisible while you have a few pieces of gear during a run and then switch it back to a normal bag when you put your gear back into your bank after said run. Like just click on the left side bag icon in your inventory and have a drop down menu of all the types of bags and you can change it on the fly that way. Always thought that it’d be a neat something to go for. Not sure how practical for anet to put time into making it would be but think it could be pretty fun to do as a player.
Note. The numbers are just place holder, more my idea that I’m putting out there so don’t get hung up on that.
Really enjoyed reading through the patch notes this morning when I checked them out. Props to the person/people that wrote that up. I am sad to see nothing in game through, really do like their in game April fools stuff they’ve done over the years, hopefully they do a big one next year.

Here’s what the wiki says on it…
" Stand in the Vinewrath’s beam attack after double-clicking the Jade Maw’s Eye Lens with a Quartz Crystal in your inventory. The Quartz Crystal will be consumed.
This trophy can be obtained right as a Siege Carrier opens the wall and the Vinewrath shoots its laser, during the Protect the siege carrier and its ammunition portion of the Mordrem Vinewrath event chain. It’s advised to stand against the vine wall and have the Jade Maw’s Eye Lens ready when the Siege Carrier blasts the wall down."
Hope that helps. Good luck.
For me, I do things like Teq that do that zoom every time the dragon lands back into the water and leaves (I know a few other world bosses have animations that make the sudden zoom in as well) really annoying. But for as much as I do them, I just kinda push it out of my mind and move on since it’s been like that for as long as I can remember. Though if people are getting dizzy and such then, I do hop it gets fixed. That sucks you have to go through that OP (and others) and I wish everyone the best cause I do get sick/dizzy from car rides and such so I know how much things like that can suck.
I just witnessed a commander at the Malchor’s Leap site rezzing the other AFKers.
~facepaws~
Yeah the great thing about gw2 and the community that makes it different from other mmo’s is you can get just a random person running by and they’ll ress you and be on their way and it’s no big deal. It’s such a simple thing yet so awesome thing in retrospect but sadly afk farmers make you hesitate to ress that random dead person in the map now (at least for me). I’ve started to ask if said dead person “need a ress?” to see if their afk or not before doing anything. Even then though, just making me get to the point of having to second guess whether I should or shouldn’t ress someone in pve is pretty sad in of it’s self.
Opened ticket about this. GM clearly stated this is aganist rules.
Also said…
“Please note, we get hundreds of reports a day and we have to investigate all of them. By the time we get to an “AFK” farmer they may no longer be doing so."
Thanks for sharing that and the clarification on this Fivona.
Sadly I’m not sure a ‘good’ way to fix this, otherwise I’m sure anet would have already done so. I am glad to hear that reporting them will get their account looked at and hopefully they have repercussions for said afk farming. Can’t be easy to go through all those reports, props to whoever(s) does that kind of work.
Just wish there was a clear solution to circumnavigate the true afker’s that just needed to get up for a moment from the computer and the actual afk farmers. Which I’m sure is the delegate part anet has to be sure of as to not punish people that have haven’t done anything wrong.
PS: I did report the necro’s I talked about before. Though would it be helpful to anet if I opened a ticket to give things such as location and ip? Or is that going a bit overboard and should just report and move on?
It’s funny I was running around aimlessly in a map and found 5 minion master necro’s all just standing around an npc spawn place killing everything. The place had a few vets and a bunch of wondering npc’s that seem to respawn fairly quickly that they were just shredding through them with that many minions. I guess my question is, how is ‘that’ ok? It’s unclear whether that’s something to even report or just ignore to me. With all this discussion, it seems like this topic is on ethics and not why this is not an ok thing to do, for the plain reason playing the game should progress you in the said game, if you don’t want to play it then don’t. Not find a work around to not play the game and still make progression in it.
I guess for me, the feeling I get with afk farming is, it’s not about them making ‘x’ amount of gold an hour. It’s that ‘I’ am playing the game. Putting in my time and effort into it and they aren’t. Yet still being able to get and do the same things that I can with the gold they make for no effort or time spent personally put into it. Just a sucky feeling is all.
I’m not saying this is a clear comparison because I know it’s not, but I get the same feeling when I play a game and they put a p2w feature in that game awhile after it comes out or something you can buy in said game that puts you at the same position as someone who just spent 150hrs and all you have to do is spend 50 bucks. While I get there are games like that, and even some that thrive on it, like Destiny did. You pretty much knew what you were getting into from the start. This though is like an unintended consequence that at least appears to be not be getting the full attention it deserves or at least imo the full action of the ‘hammer coming down’ so to speak. And while no one is ‘paying’ anything to get ahead no. People are doing ‘nothing’ though, to get to the same place (earning gold) as the people ‘earning’ it by playing the game and spending their time to do it.
Best option IMO will be to disable gliders of other players in options, then all of us can decide: I want to see this or not.
Totally agree with this. Was running around with maybe 15 in VB the other day just doing event chains and we went to jump off a cliff to hop onto a lower road and then suddenly I couldn’t see my character at all with 4 or 5 of them having huge gliders. I realized if I had needed to land in any specific spot at all in that or any situation I’d have not been able to. While I think players should be able to be as flash as they want, please don’t make it to the detriment of everyone else. (I’m including the Raven glider in this but there are several others like that flaming bird one as well.) A check box or some sort of toggle would be greatly appreciated.
I think people who are saying the map is dead is just people who left it when the update to stop multi mapping came out and they haven’t been back since so they call it dead cause they know the rewards aren’t what they used to be and figure everyone else is exactly like them.
Please, please don’t make it easier, this is one of the few world bosses / meta’s that takes organization. I get you want to go after the achievement OP but does it strike you that just cause it’s not easy enough for you and then you ask for anet to make it easier so you can get it That there something wrong with that? Not all achievements are made to be roll over in pve. In fact this world boss isn’t that hard when you get an organized group together. As previously stated by others above this post, there are dedicated guilds that do this world boss and are happy to teach others. I like having at least a few open world things that are a bit difficult. I’m not asking for impossible or the percentage of ‘hard’ content to be increased, but please don’t get rid of it all together. That would just sad.
I thought there needed to be a voice from the other side on this.
Yeah this has to do with the mega servers and how they determine if a map needs to be closed or not due to lack of population. This has been going on since HoT came out and is a wide spread problem, not just isolated to one or two maps.
I remember them (anet) commenting on this, that it is a very complicated problem and would take a lot of work to fix. Not sure really the status of this anymore since it’s been so long since I’ve seen any update about it from anet. Most players if in a good map know now to just stay and figure out time wise if it’ll work out for them to get done what they want before closing. Then figure out if they want to move maps based off that judgement of either trying to finish a meta or maybe going for a achievement and go from there. People use lfg or just hop in and out a few times to find a better map normally that isn’t closing because the map it switches you to is almost always dead and sometimes 5 minutes later will tell you to switch again. It has been very frustrating at times for many people so I can completely understand where your coming from with this. Sadly I don’t think we’ll see a change unless they’ve been silently working on this the entire time. (which you never know, could totally be the case)

We’ll have some info on that in a few hours.
Thanks for the heads up, will keep my ears open.
To answer a couple of the questions about the AB Multiloot changes, if you disconnect, you will be able to continue looting the rest of the chests even if you end up in a different map instance, but you are limited in the total number of chests you loot. The restrictions are account-wide.
Thanks for answering my question about the character or account bound thing. While I’m sad to see the AB meta nurf, I can understand it. Most of all I do appreciate the open dialog you (the dev’s) have kept with us (the players) on this topic and been willing to give us a heads up and even shared details on how it would work. So for that, thank you.
What about the WvW Overhaul? I thought it was supposed to be the priority after HoT’s release.
It’s been an ongoing thing, they dropped the one big overhaul patch for adding changes as they finish them.
Will the ‘fix’ to AB multi looting apply to your account or just your character? Can I switch characters, come back in and reloot the same grand chests in the same meta is my question?
This topic is to funny. from what I can tell the only people complaining are the people with less skills.
So what is exactly your point here? To make fun of people that are being shunned for no real reason? Dude people like you are the reason this topic exists in the first place. If you really see nothing wrong with your sentiment then find keep being an elitist. But I’d rather have less skilled parties that want to help each other then people who think they’re better then everyone else cause of ap or skill.
I like to enjoy my runs not feel like if I mess up even ounce I’ll have people belittling me for it. While that doesn’t happen a lot in gw2, those kind of groups that have those ‘requirements’ for parties normally jump on people so quick and more then half the time they’re only slightly better when it’s all said and done then a pug group that barely talks. If that’s your thing then fine, go do what suits you but don’t make fun of others for choosing something more laid back and fun. You know to enjoy the game we’re playing.
I remember back when HoT came out there was a declared guild hall team. What ever happened to them? Are they still around doing stuff? Did they officially ever say anything about things they are working on or are aiming for, at any point?
I started thinking about this; while there has been slow improvements to the guild hall systems that came out with HoT and decorations added. It still seems like things are lagging behind with QoL things not having been taken care of since HoT came out and not getting really ‘new’ systems and purposes for the guild halls have been done outside of things to craft. Is this it for guild halls as far as content coming out? While I am being critical, I’m not trying to bash all the good things about guild halls, I love them, I just thought more and more was going to be done with them and so far I don’t believe I’ve seen anything but crafting items added for like a year and a few improvements to existing systems. Am I / Was I expecting too much, did Anet promise too much with them? If anyone knows anything or has an opinion on anything about this, would love to hear it. Legitimately curious about these questions.
Thanks for listening.
Remember to get as high a magic find as possible before opening them. With some food, guild buff, booster, oil, firecrackers, amulet with 20 infusion, and heading to the the silverwates i get 600+, head of people getting to 900. my base is 243 atm… the higher the better consistency you’ll have with getting rare items. I do alright overall, always make a slight profit at min. per 16 opened. I tend just to wait a few days to gather them all up so i don’t waste my boosters and such as well. hope that helps, good luck.
So because there’s a spot in the game you wish to farm you want it to be made easier to farm cause you have a hard to soloing it? Just take a step back and listen to yourself. While I agree those guys are hard, I run through there well enough if I’m careful. If it’s too hard for you to deal with, grab a friend or stranger in map chat, it is an mmo after all. And if you don’t want to be bothered to do that then maybe do something else that’s more fun for you in game. If you need the flax maybe gold farm and just buy it, or go to one of the other two ‘farm’ spots for it.
I noticed this with the flax farm in VB I think a month or so after HoT came out and has been on and off since then for me. Made a bug report then, I just assume it’s hard to nail down since it’s kinda random. Not sure if I’ve seen it in core tyria but I know I have at least at one point or another seen it in every other new map that has a bunch of nodes close to each other.
Very odd they made this change, which significantly altered how you can go after an achievement and they don’t say a word, even after many threads made and most of the way through the festival now and not even an explanation on why the change. Very disappointed.
I don’t think it’s a bug, that’s just the way it is (or if it’s a bug it’s been like that for as long as I can remember lfg being around). You are correct though, I’ve run into plenty of trolls when throwing up a party over the years in that exact scenario, would be nice if they redid that. And if it happens enough, your suppressed even though your the one being trolled.
I believe it was stated that the reason they haven’t raised local cap was because it would not work with their current stated minimum requirements for the game and they don’t want to raise them. Not sure if that applies to the max cap as well, but if it does I doubt we will see any changes then.
