Guild Wars 2

Non Game Breaking Bugs that are very inconvenient for guilds.
Guild Rushes
- Cannot start multiple rushes at once.
- Need to wait till the end of the rush before getting a reward (meaning the whole guild did it in 5 minutes and we sat around for 25 minutes more waiting to get the reward).
- Ending flag does not always work, requiring a player to run through it multiple times (it took me 3) before it works.
- No end chest. Not sure if this was intentional, but if it was on purpose, the message saying there will be an end chest (appears after 15 people have finished and you are not one of those 15) should be removed.

All of these problems were made manifest when we had 3 guild rushes this week. The rushes (which took us a collective time of 15 minutes of actual playing) took us 50 minutes because we had to wait for them to end before starting the next one.

Possible solutions:
1. Allow more than 1 rush to work at a time.
2. Give people their personal reward as soon as they finish the rush (like it used to be).
3. Give guild reward when the mission ends and the correct number of people have finished (regardless if they are still in the map or not).
4. This is a simpler solution, only allow 1 guild rush to show up in a particular week (negating the issues of running more than one rush at a time).

Guild Treks:
Treks end as soon as all of the points have been found. Thus if it is a 5 point trek, only 5 people can get the reward. Thus if a large guild wants to do treks, they need to repeat the mission many, many times.

I am curious when SAB will return? I don’t see any reason to not just have it as active content all of the time. It does not interfere with any story elements and just adds more fun types of gameplay for those that enjoy it. This would not require new updates to SAB, because obviously the devs are busy with HoT, but would give players more stuff to do! Opinions?

I bought my friend GW2 during the sale last weekend. He used to play GW1, but does not remember his password. He submitted a ticket to get his accounts linked and set a new password, however it has been a week and still no reply (other than the auto reply).

His ticket number is: 1162549

Please Help!

I’m just posting here again because it is still broken and probably really easy to fix.

When trying to go to the Black Citadel from the Airship in Gendarren Fields, it takes you to Lion’s Arch instead. I assume this is not supposed to be the case.

I see your point, but not sure it doesn’t already work that way. I think by giving 3 places for finishing rewards would at least spread the stacking of one server to 3 servers. Assuming that this means a 4th place server has a chance of getting people in attempt to knock out the current third place, it means a spread over 4 servers as opposed to the 1-3 servers now. I think actual research on this would be necessary to decide which way is best, but I would hypothesize that finishers for the top 3 servers in each league would give a more even spread than it is now.

For starters, I enjoy WvW. I also liked what I received in my WvW season 1 chest. There are two things I did not like:

1. No finishers for 2nd and 3rd in a given league. It is misleading to make the second place finisher, first place of the silver tier. Not only that, but having an actual second and third place finisher for each tier gives the servers that have little chance of getting first, something to work for. Likewise, implementation is easy. Just like in GW1 where you had a more advanced Zaishen rank to show off, the finisher could be the same. The color of the finisher depends on your league, while the “coolness” of your finisher depends on your place.

2. Make the finisher permanent. Do the winners of the Superbowl give up their ring at the end of the next season? NO! Eli Manning gets to have his rings forever, despite the performance of the NY Giants this current season. Why should that be different here?

Now I understand that these changes are not likely to be retroactive for the past season, but that does not mean they cannot be addressed in a future season. The most important part of GW2 is to have fun! WvW is fun, but can provide a bitter pill if the rewards are lack luster by being overly difficult to achieve (only getting first place in each league) or temporary (not permanent finisher). There is no reason for the bitter pill. The format of the season provides enough competition as it is. Now it just needs rewards that match that competition.

I’m in a nightmare chamber and I killed all the enemies in the first room. The mission star moved to the next room, but the exit from the first room to the second room is still blocked. This is the second time in a row I have experienced this.

Same issue for me. I don’t get credit destroying gates with any form of siege or by hand. I get credit only when I destroy a wall with cata, treb, or golem.

I just did the master of baubles (world 2) achievement following the dulfy guide. I made very sure to get every bauble. Sadly, it did not trigger the achievement. Another guild member also attempted master of baubles (world 2) yesterday, and said it also did not pop for him. It looks like this has bugged yet again. 2 hours of my life wasted and now I won’t be able to get the achievement since new living world starts tomorrow.

Since the latest update, my inscriptions that I had learned, such as the Pillaging inscription, no longer appears in my crafting list. When I hover over the recipe at the vendor, it still says I know the recipe. However, I can’t make it at a crafting station.
Is this happening to anyone else?

1 UP!!!
This is clearly a work of art. It would be a shame to only show it for 1 month and have it lost to annals of gw2 memory.
It also probably took a long time to make. As someone who does a bit of programming myself, it would make me cry to see such a successful project only shown for a month and then dropped.

Thanks for the quick response!

I also cannot get out of this instance. What I did to get out was go to pvp and then exit pvp, however now I don’t have the achievement for watching the instance (which it said I had gotten). I also can’t advance my living story line any further. It is stuck. When I try to rewatch the instance, I see the cutscene, but when I talk to Rox, I can’t reaccept the mission.

This is a very bad bug.

I’m currently a member of another guild that seems to be falling apart. I still do PvE with them, but I am looking for a guild to PvP with. Please invite or respond to this topic. Thanks!

Hi all. Does anyone know if the Halloween recipes will still be active after the Halloween event ends? Obviously the ability to get more Halloween crafting materials will stop, but I am thinking about getting the recipes for the exotic weapons. I cannot afford the Elonian Wine required to make the recipes right now. However, I have enough of the Halloween crafting materials required. So if I put all the necessary items into the mystic forge to make a recipe after November 5th, will the recipe still come out?

Thanks!
