I was excited at first when I heard about this feature, finally, being able to avoid getting my bags cluttered! Then I saw it in action. Huge disappointment. All this really is, is yet another gold sink, only now you have to do it if you have any intention of completing collections or ever having a chance at those rare skins/precursors.
I think this is a great concept for a mini-game for a mastery point. That being said, the chef does move around way too much, and the fact that there is a delay to your throw means you often miss right as he’s running to the next spot. Sure, you can memorize his movements, but more often than not, if you miss even 1 throw, the time you lose in him running around guarantees a fail.
Running around Siren’s Landing the past few days, I’ve noticed that every single orichalcum node and orrian sapling I’ve harvested has only been giving me 1 resource before expiring. Not sure if this was intentional or not, but it struck me as extremely odd and a little annoying.
Same problem here, I have all the previous nodes and no option to but this newest one.
There are several reasons to return to Orr, many of which have been mentioned such as Arah being the home of the Gods before the Exodus. Not only that, but when Zhaitan pulled Orr from the depths it changed a great deal of geography including a place on the map where you can see the eastern shoreline of Orr connecting to Scavenger’s Causeway.
In respect to the Risen issue, that’s actually covered in the “Sword Regrown” instance.

Vigil Warmaster: Welcome to the Artesian Waters, Commander. We heard you were coming and solidified the perimeter.
(Player) Commander: It’s been a while since I visited—how are things faring here in Orr?
Vigil Warmaster: With Zhaitan dead, we’ve made good progress clearing the rest of his army. It’s still a waterlogged wreck though. I wouldn’t invest in property here anytime soon if I were you, sir.
Plus it’s been several years since we killed Zhaitan and Trahearne set magic in motion to restore Orr, so this is a good chance outside of the static maps stuck in time to see how that has affected everything.
Actually the design of the boat is very common to what you saw in the Bazaar of the Four Winds. Taking in mind that we’re going to be going to the Crystal Desert after LS3Ch6, it’s not unreasonable to think that we’ll see some of the Zephyrites, who’ve traversed the Crystal Desert to retrieve Aurene’s egg. It will probably be them that show us how to get into the desert and so on.
Honestly, I’d love to hear from Anet on this. I’m really curious what the metrics are for PvP to PvE ratio that convinces them that PvP is more important than their core game. Like was mentioned earlier, how is it that Raids get their own team when I can guarantee you even with Anet hiding the raid metrics in shame, that less than 5% of the game population actually does the raids.
I’m not sure what Anet is thinking here, but the lack of content is driving even longtime players away from their game because for some reason, they think PvP is this big deal. We’ve already had LS3 pushed back twice now because of stuff. Honestly, I’m starting to think that we won’t see it, or the new Fractal until around Christmas time at this rate.
You can do the meta chain up to the point where you reclaim Sapper’s Delve and Bloodgorge Watch. But when the prompt to speak with Maybri Shadowstalker pops up, you can talk to her and even click on the launch event option but nothing happens. She simply stands there with the event icon above her head and the option still in her talk dialogue.
No one is excluded from raiding unless they themselves choose to.
I’ve actually run across a large population of players who are removed from Raid groups because they lack either gear, voice client, or have not run the raid before and are therefore immediately kicked.
So looking at some of the lore hidden throughout the Raids, it seems like it might be part of the build up to Living World Season 3. If so, then there really should be a story mode version of the raids so that the general population who gets excluded from the raids isn’t left in the dark about what is likely rather important information for the continuing story of Tyria.
For sure. I’ve always loved the dungeons, then again I don’t speed run them, and I’ve done them hundreds of times and still enjoy them. Plus, the collections at least give you a little bit of incentive to keep running them.
Fractals bore the crap out of me TBH, it’s the same handful of maps just, with increasing handicaps that screw you over and make you waste more time. And raids… yeah… after getting told I don’t have the right gear to run raids by multiple groups, I don’t want to go anywhere near that elitist-fest. Honestly, I’d love to see a whole new slew of dungeons over new Fractals and Raids, but that’s just me.
What do you mean it has no effect on enemies? Are they running through the edge of the field without getting stunned? It’s possible they have Stability on.
Just had this issue with Trilla, Brekkabek, and Poobadoo. Honestly, I’m asking myself lately. What guild content ISN’T broken? And are we going to get any fixes, or are we just going to have to wait until after Wintersday? And then until after the WvW update? And then after LWS3? The only Guild War I’ve seen since HoT launch is the one where the bugs are crippling guilds.
Don’t really know where to post this so I’ll put it here. I’m one of many people who cannot for the life of them finish the Winter Wonderland JP despite hours upon hours thrown into the attempt. I’ve seen people complain it’s too hard, and others complain that it’s far too easy and that people aren’t trying hard enough.
Regardless, why not petition to have a checkpoint added to the second fire in the JP? The one right before the collapsing presents. The two times I’ve made it that far, I’ve always died trying to make it across the bridge. This would in no way hamper those who ‘complete the jumping puzzle 15 times an hour’ but would allow players who have more difficulties a slightly better chance at finishing the puzzle.
Sadly this probably will not happen. I’m with you on this one wholeheartedly. After having spent 20-25 hours over the last 3 years trying to do this puzzle including minimizing my settings and watching easily a dozen youtube video guides (yes I mentioned this in another post), I truly cannot accomplish this either. It seems to me that between the 10k drinks and the complete the JP x3 they’ve replaced the ridiculous money cost of the Halloween Shoulders with a ridiculous time cost that most people can’t or don’t want to shell out.
Not gonna lie, I’ve attempted this puzzle every year it’s been out, and despite having easily spent 20-25 hours doing this puzzle over the years, I still have yet to finish it even once. You can say “practice, practice, practice” all you want, but the fact is, some of us truly cannot grasp jumping puzzles, especially ones with so many factors working against you.
Change your setting, camera rotation speed.
Make your screen quality lowest.
Watch Youtube video 10+ times until you memorize the whole thing.There’s tricks to learn stuffs other than blindly trying.
The thing is, I’ve done all of that. It simply comes down to the fact that jumping puzzles aren’t as easy for some of us as it is for others. I only recently did Retrospective Runaround in the SW and it took me 6 hours to do that, with a video guide and all.

Bump.
Want to keep this thread alive and showing until we get a response of some sort from the devs as well. Each week that this isn’t fixed is costing my small guild hundreds of favor and 2-3 upgrades. It’s already hard enough for us to keep up the momentum with upgrades due to all the farming, but this is just ridiculous. Stop with the new content Anet and spend a month fixing all the bugs. Please for kittens sake.
Yeah, trying to get this achievement and it is STILL bugged.
Having the same issue, and as a small guild, this is killing us on getting much needed favor.
I think our biggest issue with seeing the flood of complaints on the forums is the lack of developer response since launch. In the past, I could look under the “What are the Devs Saying” feature, and find two or three dozen responses. Since HoT dropped though it seems like our “community oriented developers” have gone into hiding. I know they’ve been busy, and I know they’ve got a ton of work on their plates, but it would be nice to see at least a response or two that we are being heard.
Not at all. Alot of the adventures while being really awesome in theory, have so many bugs and hiccups that it makes them impossible to play.
In the “Floor is Lava?” Adventure, about half the time when I hit “F” to interact with the spores, it doesn’t launch me in the air like it’s supposed to. Thus leaving me on the ground to gain 2-5 stacks of the debuff.
The worst one is “Sanctum Scramble.” Honestly, they’ve had 2 years with the Zephyrite crystals to work out the bugs. Yet, the “1” skill doesn’t make me jump half the time, and the “3” skill almost always either under or overshoots me. And no, I’m not colliding with objects before you ask. After spending 5 hours trying to complete 1 round, the best I’ve been able to do is 8/11.
I’m not sure whether it was a rush job or simply oversight. But the Northeast corner of Gilded Hollow seems half-done. First of all, there are no water sound effects for the waterfalls, or any other sound effects when you’re in that corner. Second, there are several glaring map breaks that allow you to get behind and under the map both by falling through gaps next to the stairs as well as from the water. I know that bugs are normal, but again, these seem like some truly glaring oversights.
This one is more towards the devs unless I’m missing something extremely vital. But what is with the OVERLY EXCESSIVE use of flax with almost every aspect of the new content both guild halls and scribing? I mean, they introduced a lot of new materials but it seems everything revolves around flax and linseed oil. Just for the guild hall upgrades alone you need 45,000 flax seed. Then on top of it, it’s an essential part of the scribing crafting discipline as well? Couldn’t they have spread out the materials required a little better?
During the final fight stage of “Hearts and Minds” there is a bug that when you activate the final rift before all of the shadows have been killed, the rift vanishes, and it makes it impossible to finish the fight. I’ve been in six instances now where this specific chain of events led to the bug.
Finished Verdant Brink yesterday 100% map completion, and still haven’t received my chest.
Logged in fine after the patch dropped and did one instance. In the middle of it, it crashed and I haven’t been able to get back in for the past 15-20 minutes. I’ve been receiving the same ‘network error’ message that I was after the patch yesterday.
So during the last event with the Mordrem attacking Kessex Hills and the like, I once more have a few of the Mysterious Green Keys. I’ve checked the wiki and the like, but I cannot find an answer of whether or not the other parts of the key are still obtainable in some fashion or not? Does anyone know for sure if they other key fragments are still obtainable, or was this just an unlucky drop during the event?
It’s bad enough that you already can’t do most activities with YOUR friends. But to take something amazing like this, one of the few activities that we could enjoy with our friends. I’m sorry, but this is a TERRIBLE choice for your player base.
Exactly, I’m not trying to dismiss the value of zone specific currency. I think it’s a great way to encourage players to keep returning to zones once the Living Story has shifted focus away from there. Just, we need a place to put it all, and I’m really glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.
I’m not sure if this has been brought up before, but, if we are going to continue seeing new merchant tokens for every event, and every new zone introduced via Living World (geodes, bandit crests, etc.) can we please have them added to our wallet tab? I have almost an entire bank tab taken up by old merchant tokens because they usually get recycled every year, and I don’t understand why they can’t be treated like the dungeon tokens, badges of honor, and all our other shiny currencies were.
I’ve been having massive lag issues as well as disconnects in every area of the game. Tried to do PvP, WvW, walk around a city, doesn’t matter, started 3 days ago and it’s making my game unplayable.
I’ve been having this issue lately myself. I haven’t changed ISPs and yet suddenly I’m inundated with 3-10 minute lag spikes and rampant disconnects. I’ve cleaned up and repaired everything on my computer I could think of, run the GW Client Repair 4 times and still can’t get a stable connection.
To note, I’ve run Skype and my browser during these disconnects and lag spikes with no noticeable effect on them, so I know that my internet connection isn’t the problem.
Here’s a challenge for someone. I love playing the flute in game, but my musical talents IRL are non-existent. Can someone come up with the notes for Kairi’s Theme from Kingdom Hearts? I’ll link the song here:
As much as I hate to join in on the tyraid against what so far has been one of the better content launches. I do have to agree that placing a cache in WvW was a foolish and idiotic idea. I have been trying to do the jumping puzzle going on 4 hours now, and the only thing I have managed to obtain, is a massive repair bill for my armor, and enough stress to run every server in the game for the next month.
Lately, anytime that I’ve discovred a POI, Vista, Waypoint, or completed a skill challenge, I have had the pop-up telling me that I’ve accomplished it pop once when I do it and then multiple times later if I travel into a different zone or into PVP.
I’ve actually had the same problem for about a month now. I’ve reported it many times via the in-game bug report and still no response.
I have to say that I too am dissapointed in this “Dungeon Update”. If anything, boss and loot should have been modified before taking away the only tactic that some of us have to be able to be useful in dungeons.
As someone who plays prominently scholar classes, this REALLY SCREWS ME OVER. I can put ever possible point into toughness and vitality that I want, but at the end, I’m still light armor and I’m still most likely going to be the first one lying on the ground. And now you’re telling me that not only does my party have to suffer my absence while I run back to the fight from a WP, but that I get to be nothing more than a pretty corpse lying on the ground? Why, thank you Anet for making people absolutely abhor me.
The last thing I want to see is map chat filled with gear checks/attribute checks/build checks. It’s already difficult enough running content that would have been challenging with the original 8-member party of GW1, but this makes broken dungeons especially Caudecus’ Manor and Arah explorable pretty much impossible.
Yeah same here. I’ve got two characters stationed on either side of the island. None of the three NPC’s are present, the Risen event hasn’t come up and I’ve been sitting here for almost three hours.
Are we ever going to see this event active?
I actually just had this issue this morning as well.
