I have had guildies be both yellow and blue as well as non guildies. I have seen one person change from yellow to blue and back again.
For about the last 4 days, the dots that represent party members on the map and the minimap are usually a distorted yellow circle (not perfectly round). Sometimes they go back to the blue that they’re supposed to be. When they are yellow, they don’t hug the edge of the minimap like the blue ones do so it makes partying a little more difficult. Many, many people have told me they have had the same experience.
im mor ejust miffed cos they have given me a reason to have so sit infront of the computer waiting for this update before i can go anywhere :p
NO, they have not.
You are doing that to yourself. You know the cut-off for the free trans charges is still 15 hours away. Go do something for 10 hours and you still have 5 left to login.
Noone is making you sit there and wait except you.Just wanted to mention that it is actually 26 hours and 26 minutes away; 11:59am PDT April 16th.
It’s actually almost 38.5 hours away because it’s 11:59 PM PDT, not 11:59 AM.
When you wish you have waypoints between your house, your school and your workplace. And basically anywhere you need to be.
Getting a new job would mean that you’d have to explore a new part of the map so that you’d have that waypoint.
My question is are they going to remove the guesting feature for this? All this time Ive been guesting on tarnished coast and befriended alot of roleplayers. I bonded with these role players. I don’t have 30 bucks to transfer. What is going to happen to me?
If you join their guild, have them all in your friends list and party with them, you’ll likely end up in the same “instance” of map with them regardless of which home server you’re on.
Not no opinion but I have NEVER seen anything like what you are talking about.
Can you prove what you are saying?
He is saying that if you’re playing a character with an AoE attack, like the staff Guardian, then you’re going to hit, or tag, more mobs (or players in WvW). If you’re playing a character that does single target damage, you’re not going to hit as many mobs. So those who tag more mobs will get to loot more bodies. I personally do use AoE attacks in large groups of mobs or in WvW so that I hit as many as possible and get to loot as many bodies as possible. So yes, the players who use AoE attacks/weapons fill their bags faster, but I don’t know that they have any better chance at getting precursors. I guess that would depend on if precursors have a chance to drop as normal loot, or if they have to come from a champ bag or bonus chest. I don’t know the answer to that.
I’ve always thought that receiving 2-3 silver for completing an event or opening a champ bag was negligible since I’m going to spend much more than that in WP and repair costs. Are we really fretting over receiving 2 silver instead of 3 silver? How does such a minute difference make such a huge difference in your wallet? It’s not the raw silver that you receive from event and champ bags that makes you money, that just barely pays your WP fees. It’s the selling of the loot itself that makes you money and they aren’t nerfing the loot. The amount of money you make in champ trains will not change whatsoever.
World bosses are still loot pinatas, where I stand still, turn on my auto attack, check facebook, then collect my Anet™ approved 2 boxes and open the chest to find 3 blues and 4-6 silver. They could of added 1000 new world bosses and it wouldn’t matter, it’s a complete faceroll and waste of time for most people.
The new wings of those dungeon were nice, but could hardly stand on their own.
Does this strategy work for the Jungle Wurms or Tequatl? Because I haven’t participated in an attempt at either of these that was successful. Maybe we were just doing it wrong because we weren’t doing this. I’ll tell everybody to do this next time I attempt them. I look forward to finally beating them!
30 transmutation stones would be 10 transmutation charges.
Maybe they are going to introduce changes to some of the boss fight mechanics which will further nerf the berserker meta. We don’t know what is yet to come in the future blog posts.
Exploration IS fun for me. If you don’t like it, if you’re bored, find another game to play.
Next time I don’t like the sound of audiosystem in my car, I’ll change my car.
Ok. Or you could just find a new audio system. Much like if people can’t find anything to enjoy in GW2, they should find a new game.
You’re succeeding and failing to see the point of the analogy at the same time O_o
If a large portion of customers is providing complaints on the audiosystem for several years and discussing ideas on how to improve it, then probably they like most other parts of the car and do not want to swap to another car because they actually care enough to deliver this feedback to manufacturers who are able to improve it.
Then find a way to deliver your feedback so that it sounds like you enjoy most of the game but want a small part of it changed rather than coming to the forums and having absolutely nothing good to say and sounding like someone is holding a gun to your head and making you play a game that you hate. Make suggestions in a positive way rather than criticize the entire game because you want some small part of it changed. So many people come to these forums and list off a dozen things that they hate about this game and leave no part of the game untouched. If they hate all of those things, then why are they playing it? To use your analogy, it’s like people going to the manufacturer and complaining about every part of the car that they bought, from the audio system, to the suspension, to the size of the engine, when they could have bought a different car that met all or most of their needs in the first place. The manufacturer isn’t going to care about the idiots who bought their car when they actually hated the car before they drove it off the lot. That’s on the consumer, not the manufacturer.
i dont like other games i played every mmo you can imagine, maybe i will do jumping puzzles till the wvw resets and i hope they add rewards to spvp soon..
Then perhaps you need to stop playing MMOs. Nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to play MMOs (are they?). Why would you continue to participate in an activity that you don’t enjoy? Not only that, but it sounds like you have spent tens of thousands of dollars buying games if you have tried every MMO out there. Seems like a big waste if you don’t enjoy ANY of them. The problem here is not that GW2 doesn’t have enough to do, the problem is you.

Start a new character or find something else to do that the game already offers that you haven’t tried before. Just don’t come to these forums and blast the game and the devs because they aren’t catering to you.
Nice copy paste.
How do you suggest making exploration more “fun”?
I finished my 100% world more than a year ago and I have never gone back to most zones again. There’s no point, nothing to do, events are boring. You can’t farm.

I know that a VERY small percentage of the people who play GW2 actually read the forums and then a very small percentage of those people actually post on the forums. With that said, it seems the majority of the people who do post on the forums have nothing good to say about the game…. SO WHY ARE THEY PLAYING IT?!? Go find a different game to play if you don’t like this one and stop being toxic and unhelpful on these forums! If ANet isn’t living up to your expectations, then leave, nobody will miss you, including ANet.

People told me that you didn’t need to grind much in this game but when i played it, it feels like u have to kill hundreds of mobs just to even level once at low level.
Just wait until 80 when you’ll need to grind out ascended in order to be on an equal footing with other players. Or heaven forbid, grinding out a legendary.
Getting ascended gear is a very small stat boost. A player wearing exotic gear can easily outplay a player wearing ascended gear. Don’t “grind” toward ascended gear because you feel you need it in order to compete. Only do it because you enjoy it. If you don’t enjoy it, then do something else in the game, because you don’t need it.
Did anybody else notice that there is a gap in the timeline for blog posts regarding the feature pack? They don’t have any blog posts scheduled for 3/31 or 4/1…. maybe that’s because they’ll have something else going on.
Ah, I remember back in the days when MMOs got updates once every third month or something like that at most. And that was when people paid monthly for them. And yet people didn’t really complain about the lack of updates.
The last MMO I spent a lot of time in was EverQuest 2 and they only released an update, in the form of an expansion that you had to purchase, once per year which everybody was happy with. Society is becoming so entitled…. it’s sickening.
thanks guys it was big help, i tried to play this like a typical mmo. I guess this game wasn’t mean to be played that way.
You’re welcome. You’re right, it was not meant to be played that way and so when people do try to level by killing, it’s probably the worst grind ever.
Why don’t they just go with the easiest solution: nerf the stats a lot more while downscaling so that taking a level 80 character using all exotic gear into Queensdale has the same level of challenge in killing mobs as going into Cursed Shore. If you can’t one or two shot mobs in Cursed Shore, then why should you be able to do it while downscaling in Queesdale? If the level of challenge is the same, regardless of zone, then maybe the population will spread out a little more.
And “Facilitating Friendly Play” is all about letting the Wookiee win!
Why not wait until you know ALL of the details of the feature pack before jumping to conclusions and inducing mass panic?
Said it before and I’ll say it again – “why not ask the devs to not release all of the info instead of just some of it in bits and pieces?” Cause and effect at work.
It’s the impatience of so many people on the forums that is the cause of all the panic not the fact that ANet has decided to release the info in chunks. If they released it all at once, then the vast majority of you people wouldn’t read the entire blog post from top to bottom anyway. At least this way everybody is more likely to read the entire blog post every day so that they have as much info as possible. We already have enough people who didn’t read ANY of the blog post about the trait changes and are on the forums asking questions that were answered in the blog post and complaining about stuff that is incorrect.
Why not wait until you know ALL of the details of the feature pack before jumping to conclusions and inducing mass panic?
Make sure that you get all of the points of interest, waypoints, vistas, skill points and hearts in every zone and you’ll level up really fast. Killing actually gives very little XP and if that’s how you’re leveling, then it would feel like a grind. Run passed the mobs you don’t need and focus on map completion. Crafting is also a great way to level your character.

I seriously doubt that they had the key farm in mind while they were discussing how they can make the game more immersive and easier to learn for brand new players. If it gets nerfed because of these changes, then it was probably not intentional.
Yet again, screwing around “fixing” something that isn’t broken, that we didn’t ask for.
Guild management tools and guild commander tags.
Auto-loot that works.
Permanoobstealth thieves.
Forging multiple items in one pass, instead of repetitive stress injuries.
In-game moderators to start dealing with the hackers.
Game crashes at the massive boss events.I could go on and on, but there is no point. You’re not listening.
That you didn’t ask for.. but there have been many that have.
Auto-Loot doesn’t work. As the name implies it should “Auto Loot” not you need to hit “F” to auto-loot. The description needs to be changed to represent the function ,though, I prefer it actually Auto Loot so I no longer need to worry about picking up loot!
Auto loot works just fine for me. As the description indicates, when you press F to loot, it throws all lootable items within range (assuming you have AOE loot turned on) into your bags instead of presenting you with a window in which you must click each item and then click loot. It “automatically” puts it into your inventory. What you’re looking for would be called “Lazy Loot.”

I asked for it…
First of all, we haven’t seen how the new trait system will work in conjunction with the rest of the feature pack. Why don’t you all withhold judgement until you see the entire picture?
Secondly, how many times while leveling a character have you gone 10 levels and forgotten to spend your trait points? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been running around enjoying leveling and then realized that I have 12 trait points to spend which I quickly throw into something that looks good because I’ll worry about proper spec when I’m 80.
How often do you have level appropriate gear while leveling? If you don’t have max gear, then who cares about how traits are affecting you because you’re nerfed by the gear you’re wearing. Personally, I don’t bother to get new gear while leveling because it’s a waste of money and time since leveling to 80 only takes me 5-6 days at 2-3 hours per day (although it can be done much faster). I often run around with level 20 gear on my level 50 character and only upgrade it when I happen to loot something better. And even then I only pay attention to the defense stat and don’t care about the other stats on the gear since I’ll be 80 in a few days or a week. Most everybody else I’ve ever spent time leveling with does exactly the same thing and I would bet that this is the norm. I would imagine that the people who carefully spend every trait point as they acquire them and spend the time and money to have level appropriate gear every 5 levels are a VERY small percentage of the total population of the game. Waiting until level 30 for traits isn’t going to slow your leveling. Get real! Anybody who is serious about “fast leveling” is going to do it mostly by crafting anyway.
I don’t understand why people are still complaining about not having a trait build save feature. There will be 14 trait points that you can reset any time, anywhere. There will also be a minus button in case you don’t need to change everything in the build to respec it. 14 points would only be a few more clicks than choosing a different saved build. Are we getting so lazy that we can’t click a mouse a few times? I also don’t understand all the uproar about not getting traits until level 30. How many times have you gone 10 levels and forgotten to spend your trait points? It’s not going to slow down your leveling, get real. How often are you leveling new characters at this point anyway?
Let’s do some math:
IF the OP spent a total of $1000 on this game including the box price and gem store, then they have paid roughly $0.67 per hour for their entertainment. If we were to use the same logic on movies, then a ticket to a 2 hour movie would cost $1.34. Let’s say it takes you 8 hours to read that new novel that you purchased. According to the OP’s logic, I hope you didn’t pay more than $5.36 for it. Next time you’re going to a concert or sporting event that is at the most, 4 hours long, I hope your ticket doesn’t cost more than $2.68. Otherwise you’re getting ripped off.
For a little more perspective, let’s use an example of someone who has spent $200 on GW2 and gotten 1500+ hours of entertainment from it:
Ticket to a 2 hour movie – $0.26
8 hour novel – $1.04
4 hour concert/sporting event – $0.52
As soon as the OP starts posting in forums all over the internet that every form of entertainment that he partakes in is overpriced, then we can start to give him a bit of credibility.
chemiclord’s point is that we need to keep things in perspective and realize that if you’ve paid so little per hour for 1500+ hours of entertainment, then you have no right to go and flame the forums because you’re now bored with it. If that’s the case, go flame the forums at IMDB that every movie that is released doesn’t give enough value for the ticket price. Go to the forums on your favorite band’s webpage and let everybody know that they’re charging WAY too much for tickets to their shows.
The grass is not greener… There is no magical result that will make this game better by switching to another server. You will find anywhere you go.. 75% of these servers do not have the populations to do the so called high end elite content, like Tequatl, marionette and the like. I hope people don’t spend all there gems playing musical servers, fattening anets pockets while finding out you should have stayed where you were…
Except transfers to certain servers are now free for a limited time so there will most likely be a mass exodus from low ranked servers.
I think we are going to see a mass exodus from servers ranked 16 and down and people flowing into the 13-15 ranked servers. Not only does WvW suck on lower ranked servers, but so does PvE. I’m on EBay and I have to guest to other servers if I want to do Living Story content or world bosses and dragons. Why would anybody transfer to the 20-24 ranked servers even if it is free? More people will be leaving the 20-24 ranked servers than there will be people transferring to them.
I don’t think they should be doing in world housing and selling plots of land. In my opinion, the right way to do it would be instanced housing/guild halls like EQ2 had. It’s easiest from a development/support perspective and you don’t end up with abandoned buildings all over the world. Most knick-knacks could be crafted or come from quest rewards but if they had some that were only available on the gem store, people would buy them. Much like people buy weapon and armor skins from the gem store now.
Also, if you want your wives/girlfriends to play the game with you, housing and guild halls that they can decorate is something that they will really get into. Mine does. That’s most of the reason that she played EQ2.
My home is on Ehmry Bay and PvE is my main focus and the level of participation on E Bay is awful. I always guest to Blackgate for world bosses and Living Story events because those are always full. Don’t come to Ehmry Bay if you want PvE.
Imagine how many gem store items they could add to the store for stuff to shove in your house so that you can show it off to other players. That would be an amazing revenue stream for Anet! People love that stuff!
I didn’t get a chance to read every post on the Fractal Evolution thread, but I hope that somebody mentioned that the Jade Maw fractal is unplayable due to lag on lower end PCs. It is the only fractal that my wife is not able to run and when it comes up, we have to do it without her. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Thank you for your response, however I’m looking for feedback on NA servers.
With the upcoming free world transfers to certain worlds (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/get-ready-for-wvw-spring-tournament-2014/), I would like to know which servers people think are best for PvE. I am currently on Ehmry Bay and PvE participation is awful. I often guest to Blackgate because they actually do the PvE events on that server. My friends and I don’t really enjoy WvW or PvP. I’m also worried that since my server is currently ranked 19th, everybody will transfer from it to a 13-15 ranked server because it will be free and PvE participation on my server will get worse. Transferring to my server, if it remains ranked 19th, will actually cost 800 gems, so nobody is going to transfer here.
I’m hoping to get some insight into the level of PvE participation on other servers, particularly those ranked 13-15 in WvW (currently Henge of Denravi, Crystal Desert and Northern Shiverpeaks with Isle of Janthir and Darkhaven on the bubble).
Thank you!
Last night I was fighting the blue knight, but blue was dying a lot faster than green so mid fight I ran to green to help out there. I got loot as soon as blue died but since green wasn’t killed, nobody at green got loot. So I think what I will do is participate in all 3 knights enough to make sure that I get credit and that way I’ll get loot for whichever ones die. Probably isn’t a strategy that is going to help everybody win the fight, but it will hopefully guarantee that I will get some loot since ArenaNet has now made it possible to participate to the fullest and get nothing.
The way I read the patch notes, everybody should get the loot regardless of whether or not their knight dies, like the Marionette.

Knights aren't dropping loot [Resolved]
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: Lunchbox.6970
This is a copy and paste from the release notes for this event: “Legendary Assault Knights will drop 5 Deluxe Gear Boxes and a chance at an Assault Knight Power Core, which can be used to color the Tempered Spinal Blades back item.” They can be found here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-March-4-2014
It clearly states that the Legendary Assault Knights will drop 5 Deluxe Gear Boxes. It then goes on to say that there is a chance at an Assault Knight Power Core. It does not say that there is a chance at 5 Deluxe Gear Boxes.
On launch day, March 4, I ran the Knights once and received 6 Deluxe Gear Boxes from each one of them and did not hear about anybody having any issues with loot during my run. When I logged in on March 5, my game updated and the first thing that I did was go to Lion’s Arch to run the event and I received zero loot from the Knights despite the fact that I received gold level participation for each of them. I submitted an in game bug report because this is clearly a bug. I also submitted a customer support ticket to have them send me the Deluxe Gear Boxes that they owe me and I will not be participating in the event until it is both fixed and I am compensated properly. I suggest that everybody else do the same thing because they may be able to ignore the forums, but if there are thousands of in game bug reports and customer support tickets flowing in, it will make it tough on them. I do understand that the 6 that I received from each Knight on March 4 was 1 too many, but most everybody now seems to be receiving 5 too few.

Hello,
I no longer use the email address that is associated with my account. I do still have access to it, but I am trying to update all of my online accounts to use a new address. For the life of me, I can’t find a link on the website which allows me to do this. The “My Account” link only lets me change my password or download the client. How does one go about updating their email address?
