Guild Wars 2

Same thing happened to two different group for me as well. The only work around it seems is to reset the fractal by going back to the hub. Happened to multiple people and and different orbs.

missing only the “combine raven and spirit”, “Tamed spirit”, “Bow to Raven”, but nothing works.

I’m having the same issue. I tried looking up information about “Combine Raven and Spirit” but it seems there isn’t a lot of info on it. I try and interact with the HP in Darkhove Hights cave with a vision crystal and the Primed Raven in my inventory, but nothing works. Am I doing something wrong?

Sadly, most are being more clever about it. You’re not seeing them go afk instead they are just purposely throwing the match by running into 1-3 scenarios, etc… Not following team objectives set out pre-match, etc… You know something is up when you’re fighting on point and it’s a 4-2 or even 5-2 battle and the opposing team has the other two points capped and they are not contested and the score is like 100+ point lead in favor of the other team.

This sort of scenario has played out at least four times today and unless ArenaNet has a way to rewatch the match (they don’t) then this sort of thing goes completely undetected and unpunished.

The bottom line is solo queuing and even partial pre-made queuing for ranked will end up giving you a rank that most likely has no real indication of your skill.

Yes there are times that someone is just feeding the other team free points, but it’s not the same as out right afking or auto running into a wall. It’s too hard to tell if some one is flat out bad at pvp or handing the win to the other team and I’m not asking for Anet to fix that form of behavior because that’s impossible to really address.

The fact is that he was responding and was clearly able to play. He actively chose to hand the other team the win. Keep in mind that all of my OP happened in the first minute of the game. The game is not an out right loss at that point.You are right, there is no way for Anet to see past games, but that’s why I took a screenshot.

Yes the league system only really shows how time you spent pvping rather than skill, but I think that’s another whole other problem.

So I just had a ranked game where one of my teammates purposefully akitten because someone on our team went to far. The player that akitten is Cruuk. S/he told everyone before the match that if anyone went far, s/he would afk. Of course, no one took it seriously, as most players know that sometimes you have to play sides, decap far, ect. One of our other teammate that was at mid went far to help him out. Cruuk then left far and then akitten telling us how he wasn’t joking about afking and insulting us for not obeying him/her.
Needless to say, we lost the game. Everyone on our team lost a pip for this. I’m fine with losing a pip and losing the game, but I’m not fine with people throwing games because you don’t do everything they say and then afk.
People that purposefully afk should ether generate dishonor which won’t allow them to play spvp or ranked pvp for a period of time (I would say at lest a hour or 2), or should be band from pvp out right if it happens multiple times. (this would have to be a lot)

Here is a screenshot to prove it. I have report Cruuk, but I just wanted to bring attention to this as I think there things that could be done to make pvp a better over all experience, and now that pips are on the line it’s needed to be looked at more then ever.

This has been happening to me as well. I Live in the states so my ping is normally 20-40, but now it goes up to 3k for a few secs and then back to normal. This only happens to GW2. I’m going mad!!!!!

Ever since pvp leagues came out I’ve been randomly getting a black screen during pvp matches. I don’t even get a error disconnect pop up like you normally would. The game also isn’t crashing as in the task manager guild wars 2 is still running and audio is still running. I’ve also noticed that it only happens when I’m in a pvp Match, not even in the lobby. My friend says that my in-game states flickers from online to offline even though I’m clearly still online and running around fighting people.
I know for a fact that its not my internet as my friend and I are in skype all the time and I don’t DC from the call ever. This has literally coast my team games and I can’t seem to find a fix for it.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

yeah, this has been happening to me as well. It’s really annoying to go in a spvp match and only have access to one pet. -.- It seems to remove one pet on log in/ log out. After the first pvp game though, I can finally access my pet menu to re-equip my second pet.
Hope that helps in the mean time

I also have had problems with Dobbs event for the Treasure Hunter achievement. He’ll never start his event again. This really needs to be fixed. I don’t want to have to camp a event before a patch comes out to maybe be able to do the event. That’s not how the event is intended to work.

The event in particular is “Clear Broken Spit of the Risen sea creatures replicating themselves”. However this is unable to be completed as the Risen replicators (the fish head looking things) are unable to be targeted and take no damage. The replicators also re-spawn Risen at a high rate. By the time you kill one or two, a new one has re-spawned. I tried completing this event for about 30 minuets with no progress being made. Because this event is unable to be completed, it stalls Scholar Breandan (the NPC that tells you about the event) from starting his event cycle again with the event “Protect Scholar Breandan while he examines the seabed near Broken Spit” from ever starting and this makes it imposable to complete the Treasure Hunter achievement because players need to buy a Orrian Pearl from Scholar Breandan for the achievement.
