Guild Wars 2

PlagueParade.7942:

If you’re going to buy an amulet get it from the WvW laurel vendor which costs 20 laurels and 250 honor badges you save 10 laurels.

I believe you can do the same with rings as well if you don’t want to run fractals.

We are looking to boost our numbers before the expansion and are accepting players of all experience levels!

Some more about HOME:
Council Leadership – We are run by a council of members who were all promoted from within. You will not have to wait for a guild leader to be present if there is a problem or if you have a suggestion for the guild. No single leader making decisions on a whim.
Guild History – We started in Guild Wars 1 and have remained together ever since. We have always been a tight-knit group and we will continue to provide a comfortable and open environment for our members.
TeamSpeak 3, Facebook, & Reddit – We have an active, dedicated TeamSpeak for members and a Facebook group. We are also starting a guild subreddit as some of our members are becoming more active there.
Weekly Events – We run a plethora of optional guild events each week during the evenings (between 6pm and 8pm server time). These include guild missions every Saturday night. We also host a monthly 1v1 PvP tournament, in addition to weekly events such as: guild darts, costume tonic races, jumping puzzle races, Silverwastes & Dry Top farming, World Boss trains, Dungeon/Fractal nights, Story Time with GW Lore, the list goes on…
Promotions – We have 6 tiers of ranks for the guild. Promotions are based on active participation in weekly events and friendliness in TeamSpeak and guild.
Legendary Assistance – This all started when a small portion of the guild secretly saved up enough gold to surprise a founding (all around good guy) member of the guild with the precursor DUSK. We have continued the tradition ever since. We have always been a friendly guild and treat each other like family.

Gaile Gray.6029:

The best part.

Well, in my opinion.
And that of a certain amphibian friend o’ mine.

I thought of you as soon as I wandered in there last night

read the update, they are mystic shards now.

So I understand that there will be an event where we have to claim a guild hall. I’m wondering if that event will be repeatable or not. I know we are going to want to have as many guildies there as possible the first time we claim it, but I’m also thinking about those that miss out on the initial event and want to repeat it. Will it be something we could do as a type of guild mission later?

Ayrilana.1396:

Would it be possible to just eliminate the way that the chain is currently activated by having it start on the part where you eliminate the two bosses just before you destroy the huts. This can be set at predetermined intervals like for FE. The event chain appears to break somewhere before that quite often.

Actually a lot of the time the reason for the chain breaking early on is that the npc’s don’t reset properly from a previous event, and when the events start up again they aren’t in the correct position to continue the chain. I don’t know if eliminating the first part would make a difference if the npc’s just continued to stall in weird places.

I do understand it’s never a quick fix to debug stuff like this, and it seems that the workaround for now is to just wait for a fresh map to spawn if the npc’s are permanently stuck. Knowing there’s at least some action on it is appreciated. I’ll just keep submitting those bug reports for now when they do get stuck.

So this week the event has been bugged multiple times in multiple places. I’ve been submitting bug reports through the game including the ip and a screenshot of where maybri is getting stuck on the charr side. It’s incredibly frustrating as we spend more time running around to see if the npc’s are stuck somewhere instead of doing the actual events. It would be nice to know if the bug reports through the game are actually doing anything. I know the maps do get closed from time to time, but I don’t know if that’s a result of the bug reports or not. If you want to see how these events get bugged, hang around in fields of ruin for an afternoon, I’m sure it’ll get stuck quickly.

Along the same lines I want that ragtime gw2 theme that plays when you die. So awesome.

I have a question, in the settings for content streaming there’s off, idle, and max settings. Off and max make sense to me, but how does idle work? It says when your connection is idle but I’m not sure what qualifies as an idle connection since it seems the game would always be doing something even if you were sitting afk somewhere.

You could refined them. There also the collection size expander its up to 750 i think. As things stand blood dust can be used with the new back item that eats it for rng items and you can use it to craft a number of consumable items. The other 2 items there is nothing so far.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Star_of_Gratitude

Mawdrey can still be made, which takes care of the bloodstone dust.

The star was available during wintersday if you did the quest, which eats the emphryeal fragments. Unfortunatly anyone who didn’t get it will probably have to wait until wintersday comes back around again.

The dragonite ore doesn’t have an item for consumption yet, but if we’re lucky something will come up soon.

Roy Cronacher.1576:

There options really are the legends you bring which offer unique playstyles and skills, I can see your point though.

So, the way this reads to me right now is I have a class, which doesn’t have a weapon swap, so what I pick on the first 5 skills(weapon) is what I get, nothing more. But we have a swap on the utility skills, which gives us access to “sets” of utilities. So to compare to an elementalist utilities it would be like using all cantrips or all glyphs on my utility bar, except I’m not(potentially) allowed to mix and match the utilites like with any other class. If this is correct, it doesn’t seem very appealing. My first thought is with my ele I may decide to sacrifice getting a trait bonus for having multiple cantrips to bring an additional stun breaker by taking an arcane skill, but I can’t do that with a revenant. It seems more “stiff” if that makes sense. I’ll see how it works in practice, but comparing it to what I know now in the game doesn’t give me a good feeling if this is the way it ends up working.

Rin.1046:

I have equipped SAB minis on all my characters to show support for its return. Show your support too and display your SAB minis at all times.

#OccupySAB

I have my Super Beedog out all the time, plus I have the Honors in Applied Jumping title displayed, and I use the Storm Wizard finisher(I didn’t think to buy the SAB finisher when it was out so it’s as close as I can get).

Draknar.5748:

Maybe SAB was made by some contracted guy who retained the rights to it through some fine print contracting. And maybe he was fired and isn’t allowing Anet to use SAB under threat of legal action.

This would make more sense than simply not re-activating something that clearly a lot of people want, already has been created, tested, and played, and something that a real money item is tied to that many have purchased.

From what I remember the main person who talked about SAB was Josh Foreman, as far as I know he’s still with Anet, but has been working on other things. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Joshua_Foreman

I have a ranger named “I Luv Moas” pet names for him goes as follows:
Pink Moa > Pink Moa
Bear > Fuzzy Moa
Reef Drake > Scaly Moa
Jellyfish > Squishy Moa
Devourer > Pointy Moa
Black Widow > Might not be Moa
etc

Very well done on the story John. Every time I’ve seen a friend pull something awesome out of the forge I’ve always said “how’d you pull that out of your kitten”. I’ll need to rethink my choice of words now.

I very rarely did gold > gem conversions, however when I did it was because I ended up with an odd amount of gems after buying something else. Obviously they don’t want me doing that anymore, judging from the information around the spike in gem prices plus the fixed amount of gems and the patronizing response here. Don’t worry I won’t be converting anymore gems with gold. I also won’t be buying anymore gems either. If you wanted to simplify the game for new users that’s fine, but don’t take away a function that the rest of us were using.

I’ve had to do the -nopatchui workaround on all 3 of my computers. 2 are windows 7 and 1 is windows 8, so I don’t think it’s a configuration issue on my end. Hopefully they can get this fixed as it’s rather annoying with multiple users in the same house to have to keep changing the shortcut.

I would just like to re-enforce what the TTS leaders are saying here. There is a large group of people that are across many servers that do the 10pm Teq run and we are going to miss out on events like Teq/wurm/karka. TTS was formed out of Teq and it doesn’t seem right that us late night folks are not able to do this content because of how the community has had to set itself up across multiple servers.

Did the event 2 times last night on Ehmry Bay, seeing the same thing others have reported, no civillian count, the miasama timer doesn’t reset, group effort is not giving any rewards. I was starting to get frustrated as some of the events were not giving credit either, it seemed to be random if an event gave credit or not.

Josh Foreman.8250:

(which I’m not aware of having a name yet… let me know if you’ve heard of one)

It may not be correct, but I’ve heard of these type of games being referred to as “platforming hell”. Either way I’m looking forward to the challenge.

So first of all I should probably say that I suck at web development and have no desire to build any web tools with the api’s. I did notice though that Powershell has the ability to read the api’s with the Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet. I figured I could put this to use for myself. I’ve been trying to get my last few poi’s and vistas in wvw for a while now, but I’m not in wvw constantly so I miss opportunity’s to get to those poi’s. I know mos.millenum.org has live maps now but i’m not looking at those all the time either. What I have done is made a powershell script that will automatically poll the api on a regular interval and notify me with a popup when the objective has changed to my server’s color, here’s the script:
$url = “https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/match_details.json?match_id=1-5”
$team = “Green”

do {

$result = Invoke-RestMethod $url
$objectives = $result.maps.objectives

$objective1 = $objectives.item("6")[0].owner

[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show(“Longview is Green”,“Move it”,“OK”,“Hand”)

In the example I was monitoring the Longview tower on the red boarderlands. I know it’s not much but hopefully someone else can use this information for other useful things in the future.

The same thing happened to us just now with the wurm, right in front of it with my ele doing aoe and such, got nothing.
