Very nice job and I appreciate all the work. As for what can be trimmed:
I think any of the direct currency type items can be excluded, such as unidentified insects, though it would be nice if they stacked. For Chak eggs and such, could we still spend them if they were in material storage or would we need to retrieve them first? That would make a big difference in preference.
Miyani stuff can be bought as needed. I see no need to stockpile this. At most I have a couple of things sitting around due to denominators.
While I would love to dump all of these intermediate crafting materials into storage, I would prefer if we could just go to the highest level we need and have it calculate all the way down through the tiers to determine how many we could make. Face it, we will get plenty new doodads and mats and currencies in the future. How big is this bank going to get? Make the intermediate materials relevant for leveling crafting, then leave them behind.
I love the new map, but better indicators for points/WPs higher or lower would be very useful.
I would like to see Oakheart Essence in future maps. However, guild hall usage has led me to be trapped in walls multiple times. Be careful.
There is a lot of very nice story elements locked into the raids. What if they just added more options to the Priory agents in LA? You could walk up and ask them what happened in Spirit Vale and they would give you a video, like the explanation of Season 1. The video would contain any cut scenes that were part of the raid and a voice over explanation of discoverable elements.
This says you can combine the minis with a Mai Trin to get a mini Scarlett Briar. Is this Scarlett mini a new one, or is it the Armored or Holographic Scarlett that already exist?
Thanks,
Is there a method to query the map bonuses available for a given map? I was looking a the wiki and there appears to be an embedded curl query but I haven’t been able to tease it out yet. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Were personal fractal levels reset on purpose? I was level 100 and now I have been set to 96.
Plus add a public “pool” in Lions Arch near the mystic forge where you automaticly change to your underpants when you go swimming there.
Wow! Yes!!
I don’t mind that there is some content that I am not skilled enough to do. I will never be an elite PvPer and I am struggling to do raids. Fractals has been a slog but I am getting to be decent at them. All this is fine as long as the rewards are the pretty shinies that the victorious get to wave around. What I think is a shame is the lore that is locked within the raids that the majority of my guild mates will never see. Some of them are lore hounds that have been around since GW1 beta but just aren’t fast enough on the keys to get through a raid.
Apart from raids and PvP, the content drought has been real and parching. The reneging on the new legendaries and delay of LS have pushed some guild mates out of the game and has me spending less time in GW2 and more time in other games. I think Anet has the ability to turn things around, and am curious to see how they do so.
This doesn’t sound like botting because it is using in-game systems but it definitely sounds like an exploit. They are using a system in a way that is certainly not intended – to gain XP and loot while AFK for very extended periods of time. That can’t be healthy for the game to leave these zombies all over the place slurping up loot from the efforts of others or from the automation of their pets. Perhaps the timeout needs to be tweaked to detect and ignore auto-attacks, especially in the absence of movement?
The 64-bit client solved the crash problem for me. I did multiple Tangled Depths events last night with no problem. I had been crashing at least once an hour.
I think the vendor probably allows access to other things aswell, one way to fix this would be to move the boons to a different NPC or something. That way they can keep the NPC HoT-restricted but still allow core players to make use of the old boons.
The vendor in question, the bartender, only offers guild boons. Given that they have put the bartender in the guild building in LA, where anyone can reach him, makes me think they meant everyone to have access. Why else would he be there? He literally doesn’t do anything else..
This is probably (hopefully) a bug.
I have yet to complete the Dragon Stand meta event because the game will crash upon status updates. When I log back in I am always on a new map. I have given up on this until they fix things.
I crash in PvE when moving around. I crash in towns when opening a chat with a vendor. I crash when Mad King shows up. I crash when hitting a gathering node. Any possible update to the status of my game bears the risk of a crash. Too frustrating. I have begun counting them and I hit 20 crashes this weekend. That means during this weekend – Saturday and Sunday. I have no idea how many crashes I have seen since HoT was released.

Elite Specializations & Hero Point Feedback [Merged]
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: Lillis.9473
Thanks for decreasing the specialization points. I was concerned that I would finish the story before I fully unlocked my druid. I was willing to earn my way to 400 but this change has opened up my possibilities. Rather than one character with a fully unlocked elite I will likely be able to choose among 4 when the raids come out. This will also give me more time to practice with the classes before jumping into the raids.
12. What are the Notary and the Market? And do we have to claim a Guild Hall for my Bankguild first to get back Access to my Bank?
The Notary and Market are 2 of 7 areas of focus for your guild to gain upgrades from (the others include the Tavern, Mine, Workshop, Arena and War Room). The Notary will be accessible through the Guild Initiative Office and the others will only be accessible through the guild hall once it is obtained. If you don’t have the guild banks unlocked before Heart of Thorns, you will need to get the upgrades from those sources after launch.
OK, but just to make 100% clear. My guild has all the bank vaults unlocked. Tomorrow morning I will be able to walk up to the guild bank and see all 3 vaults? I won’t have to claim a hall or unlock anything to get access to the full bank?
One comment is there now worries me that HoT isn’t for me:
battling to level 100 in fractals
I hope that doesn’t imply fractals are the ONLY way to reach 100 because I never have done fractals and never will. :|
I bought HoT but didn’t want to spoil myself so haven’t actually logged in.
HoT is expanded end-game content. It is meant for level 80 characters and the mechanics are tougher than in the rest of the game. You will want to log in and refresh your muscle memory or you will get downed in HoT, a lot.
They said several times during guild week that the current guild banks would be “grandfathered” in. If I create a new guild after HoT, will I be able to build a guild bank or will that system be abandoned?
From the sounds of things, if you have a bank now, you’ll be able to access it even after HoT goes live. If you want to build a new guild for use as a bank, however, you’ll have to build a guild hall and do a lot of upgrades to do it.
In other words, HoT will make it a LOT harder to make a personal bank guild. Much, much harder. But if you have one now, you’re set.
What if you don’t buy HoT? Will your ability to get a guild bank be gone?

I’m a programmer going into the office on Sunday (today) to spend an indeterminate amount of time fixing something. I know how it feels to keep trying and hoping you’ll find a fix before it’s too late. :} Keep fighting the good fight, brothers. Take deep breaths, drink some good tea. In, out.
LOL, there are a lot of us. I am trying to debug an errant data load before business opens tomorrow. I appreciate the effort you’re putting into this and raise a glass to you.
At twitchCon they said that achievement tracking will now tell us what part of an collection achievement is missing. They used the example of Dry Top coins or diving master locations. I was wondering if locked dungeons were included in that? I currently track which toons have unlocked which dungeons using a spreadsheet and I would like to dump that thing.
They have said several times that we would be able to see all the masteries during this beta, most recently just a few minutes ago in a Gamescon interview. I only have the 5 VB masteries and the 2 pact masteries. Am I missing something? Did anybody else understand it this way?
