Guild Wars 2

Necromancer head gear that you choose during creation covers the eyes with effects. Just continue character creation and when you get in game you can hide the headgear to see your lovely eyes in all their asuran glory.

Server: Crystal Desert
Dungeon: Ascalonian Catacombs, path 2 (ghostly defender)

I was almost at completion of path 2 nearly at the end of the ‘defend the cannons’ fight when I had a fatal client crash. When booting up again, there was a download before getting to the login/play screen in the patch ui. There was no download at that point.

Once in game, I tried re-entering the dungeon where my guild members were still waiting for me by walking into the entrance portal. I consistently received an error 19:9:18:1614:101 with a message indicating I did not have access to the log-in server. Logging out and back in again did not fix it.

The rest of my group then went ahead and spent 5 minutes finishing the dungeon to get their 60 tokens, while I was stuck tokenless and writing this bug report. :/

I think the error is caused because the dungeon instance was flagged under the old version of the game, while my client was the new post-patch version, so from a technical standpoint I can understand why it happened. However, I think there needs to be some form of hot-fix for when it does happen. Spending an hour for no rewards is not quote un-quote fun.

Especially concerning is why I was forced to patch on a North American server at 8pm PST. Smack dab in the middle of my server’s prime time. It seems to me that a better time could be picked for a patch to be uploaded that would conceivably be less likely to result in situations such as these.

Your guess is correct: the bonus is not based on level. From level 10 to 20 ranger, I was getting +10 to all four attributes for each point spent as well.

They have armour and weapon sets that you can purchase which have differing stats. Not sure how they compare with other sets out there yet, however, so I can’t say whether that’s a meaningful difference.

I think you can choose to switch allegiance as well after a certain point, so its not a completely permanent decision.

I am not sure if this is what you are referring to but if you press H to look at your character you can uncheck the little box in the headgear box and it will disappear. For example I can remove the face tattoo thing on my necro.

Yup, I already use that to hide my ranger’s and my mesmer’s masks. Especially the mesmer’s one. Ugh. :/

Unfortunately, that setting doesn’t apply during the character select screen when logging into the game which is what I was referring to. I was hoping that I was just missing something obvious, but it looks like I’ll just have to wait until cosmetic things like this can get on the to-do list.

Thanks for the answers!

Not every achievement at max gives a title. Hover over the progress bar for each one and it will say “Title: xxxxx” below the progress status if it grants one.

Is there a way to hide the headgear of my characters when viewing them on the character select screen?

And if not, can the option be added please. Mirroring the in-game headgear setting of each character would be ideal, but I’d be happy with just an on/off toggle that would only affect that screen.

Thanks!
