Since some time has passed, maybe there is new info. I really would like an explanation for this.

Oh well… I feel stupid now. I found the mastery vendor and it is there. But still no recipe on heroics notary. Maybe a bug. I got what I wanted though. Thanks a lot!

Trailblazer's Joke

Well, today I decided to alter my Mesmer to WvW Condi Roamer, as seen here:
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Mesmer_-_PU_Condi_Roamer

As you can see, it requires Trailblazer’s armor. Which cannot be crafted in the game right now. I found out the hard way.

You can find the armor or weapon’s recipes for Trailblazer’s gear on TP without any hassle. The trick is, you also need Trailblazer’s Intricate Gossamer Insignia for the armors, the recipe for which cannot be found ANYWHERE. I wouldn’t mind this and would move on, if I hadn’t already purchased the mats necessary for the crafting.

Btw on the wiki it says that you can purchase the recipe at the Heroics Notary on battlegrounds or at Faction provisioners throughout Maguuma, but none sells it. As I have never seen any Trailblazer’s equipment drop, I also cannot salvage the insignia.

Why this joke, Anet?

Why?

Okay, firstly I don’t know how this fits to the “players helping players” category but hey, not here to argue with the mods. So what happened is that I couldn’t take it and I turned back to my Twilight Arbor armor. This screenshot is taken at complete darkness at bloodstone fen:

I’m literally shining, which shouldn’t be the case. Completely kills the immersion.

I really would like a dev comment on this. Will this get fixed soon?

To be honest, I knew this bug for quite some time. I used the place as a “fortress of solitude”, even fantasized that I would eventually find an NPC there with such advanced AI that we would become friends xD

To get there, you need Lean Techniques (and maybe Advanced Gliding, not sure). First climb to the top of The Great Tree and fly to the nearest updraft, and after to the one on it’s right, and to the branches of the tree to take a rest. When flying endurance is full, fly directly to the highest platform on the cliff right ahead. Use lean forward skill at all times. On the cliff to the right, there is an opening where you can pass and reach the no man’s land.

Screenshots as follows. First image shows the location of the opening.

Btw, kudos to the people who designed the lay energy man ghost thing, it even pops up there!

Hello GW2 community,

I’ve been bothered by an issue for quite some time now that I decided to take it here. First, please take a look at these screenshots:

https://s3.postimg.org/y3zlkwdhf/light.jpg
In this image, you can see my char near a light source, with both hair and armor using Celestial dye, which most people use. It is perfectly normal.

Now look at this:
https://s4.postimg.org/vbjxqjmil/dark.jpg
This screenshot is taken in complete darkness (near bank in Lion’s Arch at night). You see where I’m getting at, right?

Clearly the people designing the armor are working in different departments with the people who design the hairstyles.

Is anybody else bothered by this? I searched the forums but couldn’t find anything addressing this issue. I know that Twilight Arbor armor is also defying light / shadow rules like this hair, so it doesn’t look awkward. Thinking that GW2 is huge on cosmetics, which is also a huge part of the endgame, this seems odd to me. I got stuck using Twilight Arbor armor for years. I’m sick of it.

Also I’m not so naive to think that this will get resolved anytime, so maybe someone knows other armors which “shine in the dark” like the hair in the screenshot.

Any comments?

Explain Dragon's Watch?

“Dragons gather, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher of the dragons. I am the shield that guards the realms of Tyria. I pledge my life and honor to the Dragon Watch, for this dragon and all the dragons to come.”

Last S3E1 scene was disappointing (spoilers)

I think there is also a problem with Lazarus’s voice. Its not… bossy. I expected something more diabolical.

With Mordremoth, I felt the danger, the suspense, the gravity of the situation. With White Mantle? Not so much.

Also commander’s voice (norn female for me) was also different than before. She used to be more calm and reasoning, now she is all excited (especially with the Caithe bloodstone conversations)

Btw, why did Caithe decided to open her heart up in the middle of an ambush?

My god… So many things are wrong.

Keybind for stow pet?

I also think a keybind for stow pet is necessary, because when the pet is stowed and you enter combat, pet spawns and you automatically get swap pet perks.

GTX 860M. You say it is because of the graphics card? Because I also started to experience texture problems (some textures show only blue/green patterned colors).

As the topic suggests, loading screen freezes (always).

To counter the issue, I do the following:
ctrl+alt+del to select task manager (cannot return to desktop any other way)
close task manager and see gw2 is flashing on start bar
click gw2, return to game and play.

It is not a pressing matter but I have to do this every time I login or change maps, so it started to get annoying. Any idea on how to fix this?

Note: I recently upgraded to Windows 10.
