Guild Wars 2

Perhaps it has been mentioned, or isn’t on the current page. I would like the travel to waypoint/use revive orb option to be located higher in the screen. When you are close to being able to use a downed skill and you become completely downed just as you click the skill and the revive orb option is directly below it, you end up using the revive orb when you don’t necessarily wish to do so.

Last night some friends and I were working on achievements in the Bitterfrost and needed to complete the elixir to head up to the Bitter North. We gathered our items, purchased our stones and went to the hot springs. I used the hot springs, my character commented on the spell and I had the buff. My two friends used the hot springs and got their items taken away and didn’t receive the buff.

Okay it was a glitch, we went back got the items needed, went back. Long story short a second friend got the buff, the third one had their items taken and no buff. So in short, he lost 20 winterberries, a fair amount of time, and still didn’t receive the buff.

So is this happening to others? Is there a fix on the way? It seems to me this should be automatic and if you have the items and it takes them, you should be buffed period. Why some are getting it and some aren’t is beyond me.

I thought maybe he had inadvertently regressed his story, but he hadn’t. We had completed the story arc in a few days and he didn’t reset it, and the second friend hadn’t either. So I am at a loss to understand the difference and the cause of it.

Yeah I did, it is actually the silver one that seems out of line with the others, my bad.

It might just be one of those things I don’t have to understand I guess. I just thought perhaps you got more amalgamated gemstones, or bonus stuff using that particular crest or doubloon. Thank you all for your responses.

I understand the demand, but what I don’t understand is that at least from the wiki I can combine any other crest (for example magi) and get an amalgamated gemstone using it. It sells for a few silver and the assassin sells for 3 gold. The silver doubloon does the same, versus other doubloons. So is there some other difference I don’t know about?

Stupid 45 character limit wouldn’t let me put their full names in the topic title

This is just my own personal curiosity, but why is the Crest of the Assassin and the Gold Doubloon priced so much higher than other crests and doubloons? I get that they can be combined into amalgamated gemstones, but so can the others as well. Is there another reason why those two particular items are priced that high?

The change I would most like to see is gating on the armors that once you won it, you are banned from participating in the challenge again during that particular iteration. The ban only applies to the particular outpost you won, so you could conceivably win north, south, east and west each time. I have seen numerous times a player who is fairly good at the challenge win it multiple times and immediately ditching the armor to do it again thereby preventing other players trying to complete the achievement for wins from being able to do so that particular iteration and in the process weakening the team for a particular gate by forcing them to use the less well-endowed armors.

Well on a happy note, we completed it and it all worked fine. Instance owner still died do to getting knocked out of the air right before final fight. Rifts opened, stunned him allowing us to burn him down. No idea what changed in that whole scenario, but in any case we managed to get it done. Thanks for your suggestions everyone.

Oh, break bar. It was broken every time we used the rift. We all took extra CC into the battle and I can’t recall at any point in the final battle where it was needed. So go figure.

For my group of 3, we can get to the end fight with Mordremoth, and not sure if it is due to the fact that the instance owner dies in previous stages and is sitting in the penalty box or not, but when the first rift is opened on the final stage, all the adds are killed and gone and Mordremoth remains invulnerable, just spamming his electric damaging circles with no way to do damage to him. This has happened to us 3 times so far. Where the rift used to be is a couple of squiggle white lines. Eventually we just give up and leave.

I wish there was a way to get assistance on these when it happens rather than having to fight your way through the dang thing over and over. I’m assuming it is a bug, but it has happened pretty consistent for us.
