Guild Wars 2

Gilgamesh.5401:

So I recently came across this bug with the laurel portion of it…earned and spent several laurels yet still no completion.

I was just in Lion’s arch (Blackgate) and asked in /map chat this and got a few people still saying that can’t complete this…Anet cmon how is this still a problem

Same here….still

Is there a way to turn hints back on, to make them show when you get a hint that you previously turned off?

For example, I’m trying to get the Laurels hint done. I get them everyday and spend them, but never see the hint message pop up. I must have turned it off and it’s never updating the achievement

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have one that never updates.
Under Items & Equipment the “Laurels” one is never checked off. I get Laurels everyday with daily and I also spend them. Anyone else have this or know if it’s a bug or a way to update it?

I posted this as well a day ago, here’s what I found.

1. Harpoon uses a “Spear” for its mastery. Device Type: Spear
2. “Speargun” uses a Harpoon gun for its mastery. Device Type: Harpoon Gun
Yes It’s confusing, but trust me I spent hours working it out. Especially since the title of the weapon says otherwise.
3. The kill must come from the weapon and not from a condition or a pet that I noticed. Hence why it doesn’t always update. As a Ranger I stowed my pet and tried only using the Skill 1 and it worked much better.

Hope this helps

I was running down my list for ach pts. and noticed I needed speargun (492/500) however, nothing I used gave me a point. I noticed that my speargun now says harpoon gun in the type.

I do a search on trader and notice all spearguns now say harpoon gun for type. I search harpoon guns, and it gets more confusing that it can say speargun or harpoon gun in the title, but never speargun in the type. The low level harpoon guns can say spear, but once again “speargun” as a type is missing.

Ok, to add to this. I noticed the naming is backwards and confusing. Ach pts work, however, I use a “Harpoon Gun” to get the Speargun Master pt. and used a “Spear” to get the Harpoon Master.

So much for changing up with the new random method. From what I can tell, YB is the only server that had to battle the same two servers defending the same area of EB.
I enjoyed the last week, so it’s not much of a bother, but I do hope we change next week.

Tip-o-the-hat to CD this morning (7am EST). You guys had strong leadership and played tight in YBBL. Look forward to more battles like this.

So far, I’m liking the new matchup system. I think the servers we have are evenly matched. I know Kaineng as suffered some losses, but it would be foolish to underestimate them.

This is my first encounter with CD and I have to say it’s been a blast. You have a wide mix of players and styles, much like Yak’s does and there are close similarities. I look forward to the rest of the week. Good luck to all, I have a feeling this will be decided at the last minute.

Patience, young padawan.

Devon recently posted that they are looking over the maths, formula, etc. to see what potential remedy they can implement.

I really hope so. This week really shows it is getting stale. Only 20 and 21 swapped places.

This is absolutely an issue as the game matures and we are working on ways to make running story mode with someone worthwhile even if you have already run it so players just reaching these dungeons can more easily find groups to play with. It will probably take some experimentation before we find the right motivator.

I see this reply was 6onths ago as I did my search. Not sure if anything has changed since I’m somewhat new? Having said that, it still seems like no one wants to do story mode, and I must do it to get to the others. I’ve been asking in Lion’s arch or the respective dungeon’s zone for 4 days now, and no one wants to do them. Something has to be done to make it worth while, because people don’t seem like they want to be bothered doing the story mode when the current system seems weighted to reward the EXP versions.

I agree with all those that think it’s boring to always be against the same servers for 3 weeks in a row. Why can’t it be mixed to provide more fun in seeing new enemies to match up with? Why not keep the precious formula for ranking teams, but instead of moving up or down (which happens to slowly or at all) and have all the #1 winners from the week move to the #1 winner bracket, all the 2nd place servers fight each other in the #2 bracket and same for #3. That way each week it would shuffle around enough to keep it interesting. I’m not saying that facing Jade Quarry would result in a win for our server, but the current system greatly reduces that from ever happening. Sometimes fighting a better server helps us learn something new, and the next time we fight it could be a different story. Just a thought, but from a casual WvW player’s point of view, I will no doubt get tired of it, if I see the same servers again and again.
