I go into a restaurant to have a meal. Before I can get throught the door, the hostess asks me to prepurchase my meal. I’ve eaten here before and thought their stuff was amazing so I go ahead and give them some money. After I sit down at a table, a waitress comes over with a dirty plate and utensils. She says, " The plate and utensils are the ones you used the last time you were here. We recently have changed to new plates and utensils but if you want to use those to enjoy the contents of your meal you will have to sweep and mop the kitchen and wash the plate and utensils you previously used." I told the waitress that this was unreasonable and that I wanted to enjoy the contents of my meal on the new plate and utensils. She shakes her head and says, “I will never understand the sense of entitlement some of these customers have.”

This analogy is great, I have been playing the specs in PVP because I got frustrated grinding, and absolutely loving some of the new playstyle options. If only I could have those in the other game modes I play…

I dont’t think so, it’s so full of straw you could feed all the Centaurs in Tyria for weeks. This system is the exact same as its always been, GW2 has no raised level cap, but it essentially acts exactly as if they did raise the cap. This is an objective fact, whats not fact though id how people perceive this content and how it should be given to players. People on both sides of this argument really just need to chill out, and wait a little while longer.
It’s been three days, and people can argue all they want, but until a comperable solution is found there will not be any fixes. Hell, most arguments are just conjecture as theres almost zero metrics to analyze leveling rates and gains from masteries on subsequent characters.
Theres valid input on both sides, but we seriously have to be patient.

I’m very much hoping that it is a bug, though honestly it doesn’t seem like it is. Just due to the fact that otherwise you’d be able to craft it by buying very low cost unidentified dyes.

It appears that the only way to actually craft this now is to actually buy the dyes, as by crafting unidentified through rares is incredibly insane due to their prices.

I’m sorry, but way to go ANet. 20G isn’t a dreadful amount, but being almost forced to buy them due to the only other means of obtaining the dyes… It’s ridiculous.

It doesn’t, like I said, I did try to search.
The last update to the wiki page was on the 15th of last month, changing the supply from 250 to 100 unidentified dyes, with no explanation.

There’s a finite amount of them available without a) Paying real money, b) Spending a work week of laurels c) using 400 other dyes (more than previous recipe)

Edit: In other words I think all options are ridiculous so I want a confirmed secondary option

Sorry if this has been answered before, I did try to search.
How does crafting Gift of Color work post Wardrobe/feature pack update? Do I have to use the verbatim “Unidentified Dye” or can use various specific unidentified colored dyes in conjunction with each other?

I can’t vouch for Anet in how long you’ll have, but I highly suggest going to dulfy and checking this out:
http://dulfy.net/2014/02/19/gw2-memories-in-your-hand-pile-of-rubble-achievement-guide/

Print it out, memorize it, and try to maximize your time. I know I’ve had a lot more practice, but it’s possible to hit all 40 in one run, so that’s a consolation (and honestly I would be surprised if you didn’t get more time after this next update, as it appears the event will be “kinda” the same, but with more content) (speculation)

After a little work, (and googling), I have this

Also, Skyboy’s work

So, I’m relatively experienced with Actionscript 3, but I have no earthly idea where to start with something like this. I already have methods for handling the JSON, I’m just at a loss how to actually get it from the servers using the API.

Has anyone worked with the API with AS3?

I’ve managed to get two of them, but what I really want is an unbreakable bell or the mini >:

I’ve also gotten several recipes for the new back items.
One is up for 5G by me in the AH for Grenth, ;D ;D

Anyway, I’ll keep opening them as long as funds allow, I spammed the first halloween to get my endless tonic, and I missed out on toymakers last Wintersday, so I have to get it this year.

TC is having a civil war in chat.

Not many people seem to be having fun. I’m done with it till it’s either fixed or figured out. I am having zero fun with the event. Seems very trollish.

Teq went from being able to be killed AFK to being ultra hard. Is there a middle road we can meet at?

I’m from TC. I was in one of the first fights, right up until the part where I got DC’d. Been stuck in overflow ever since.

Something should be done at the least to try to even the playing field. No matter how you slice it, there’s always going to be a level of unnecessary difficulty due to the people you’re working with, and that’s something that cannot be avoided in the current state.

You may be Windu. It’s still a problem though. One of my favorite things so far, was not being able to see the wave coming at me. I run the game just fine on my current settings, but if I want to go do Tequatl, I’ll have to lower them.
That wave… Thaaaat wave. There’s three ways it could happen for me:
1. I see the wave coming, I dodge it ezpz
2. I see the wave coming, I get slammed when it’s still a few feet in front of me on my screen
3. I see absolutely nothing, and I get slammed

sobs uncontrollably

Thanks, that’s what I was wanting to know. I thought as much, but I still wanted a little assurance. Once again, this isn’t a complaining thread, but that title is something I really want to earn, but I just don’t have time for it right now for this and that reasons.

Thanks everyone!

This isn’t a topic to complain about the inability to obtain something for one reason or another, I’m just curious.

Does anyone know if these achievements are permanent, allowing me to get the title in time? Or is this something I’m going to have to work hard at in the next two weeks or so to get?

I like being well-rounded in my abilities. I want to be a software or game programmer when I grow up though. I’ve mostly worked with Actionscript 3, but I know C++ and VB6, and I’ve won a state-level Skills USA Computer Programming competition, so I’m on my way.

I agree with IVIUIEI, I have neither precursor or map completion, but making precursors a dime a dozen doesn’t solve anything

I know it’s a double post – but I didn’t want to start a new thread. Showing off what I have so far, it’s untextured and it needs more work (and a flip side) But coming great so far. I can’t wait to have this made!

I emailed Anet to use a GW2 wallpaper in a personalized credit card and they said it was ok.

Would be extremely cool if I could have RL figurines of my characters.

That would be really neat, but a lot trickier I would think. You’d have to be really good at modelling to do that yourself like I am with this coin

Edit: Went ahead and emailed them myself

Much better, thank you

Worst comes to worst, I’ll do this – Though, I’m not sure if it’s an issue because it would be for personal use? I’m not entirely sure if it’s considered “Goods” in that context

Thanks for the nonhelp

Alright, so I’m not entirely sure where I should put this post. I’m currently working on learning some 3D modeling, for a personal project of mine. In doing so though, I decided to start off with something simple, like a coin.

So, This is a general question to everyone (and A-Net specifically to make sure they wouldn’t have a problem with me doing this), is this something you’d like to see done? I’ve found a few places that would take my 3D models and create them for me, this would be payed out of my own pocket, of course, and not sold.

The work is coming along nice, but I want to make sure Anet doesn’t have a problem with me doing this, I wouldn’t be selling it or turning a profit in any way. I would just be creating a cool little nicknack from one of my favorite games.

One side features the half ArenaNet logo present on the achievement icon in GW2, and the other half, will feature the stylized 2 in the Guildwars 2 logo

You should change the title to Bubble Baubles to prevent confusion

So they also can only be used once, and then they’re gone for good?

Alright so – Requesting a little information here. I acquired a super shield skin, it’s not the skin I want, but I’m on the fence as to what I’m going to do with it. Before I proceed though, I want to know: How do the rare skins work, are they somehow permanent, or are they a one time use like the green versions?

I SAB themed PvP map would be awesome! Maybe some day

You get 5 new lives for each continue coin you have, it’s just that right now there’s a vending machine for the coins. However, it’s not that difficult to farm coins in-game in both Tyria, and the meta game itself, especially if you have alts

You keep all upgrades permanently per character

Also, I may be wrong, but I think the coin vending machine is only there for today (April 1st)

Agreed. Home instance REALLY needs to be beefed up. I have had no reason to go there since I completed my personal story.

You must not have looked that hard,
once per level, once per day per char.

Alright, so, (and yes I know, double post)

I CANNOT target our boss here normally. I’ve tried clicking all over his face but I’ve been unable to target him regularly, only once or twice from a random click, and I’ve tried clicking everywhere on his face when I can

Edit for more info:
The ONLY time I’m able to target, is when the arrows appear while he’s lashing his tongue in and out. If I’m currently targeting when the arrows vanish, targeting breaks as well

Edit Edit: That’s the way it’s designed, isn’t it T_T?

Edit Edit Edit: Okay, so I’m not entirely sure if my game is working right, but I still beat the boss. Okay so, I could ONLY target before he would do the tongue attack across the board, throwing gems at him did nothing to actually stop him right then and there, I would have to throw a gem, and then wail on him while he was still up, and THEN he would fall. Is that normal?

I just traded for more continue tokens, and I’m going to give it another shot here in a moment. I can almost say for certain that clicking on his face wasn’t letting me target him. I also just had to restart my client because I couldn’t zoom my camera back in, it would automatically zoom it all the way out possible depending on my location
[I’m not sure if it would cause it, but I clicked the return to Rata Sum button directly after completing the second zone]

Oh lord, I hadn’t seen this until now. 10/10 would watch again!

I would rather do it solo… but if that’s the only way :/ It would be nice to be able to tab and target, but the only thing I can seemingly target is the jewelry or the frogs on the edges T_T

Alright so… I can’t seem to be able to target the boss at all :/
I’ve tried tabbing, I’ve tried clicking, I’ve managed to target him once, but that’s about it. All I can target is his jewelry, I can’t seem to target the boss himself at all to throw things at him

Honestly, if it’s possible, they probably don’t care. I mean, this isn’t something they would just overlook, it’s a pretty obvious thing. That being said, if they cared, they probably would have handed out warnings beforehand.

That would be nice, maybe we’ll see it eventually. Unfortunately it won’t be hapening anytime soon, they already didn’t had any daggers or guns due to time limitations. They’ve said that they had to cut some things and make sacrifices

“carrot” The new it word.

You’re having to wait because of other players, if everyone who wanted to play in WvW got in at once, it would be horrendous.

Well I didn’t need the gun to get to THAT point, that point was easy. I just used it to cheese my way over that gap I couldn’t reach Either way, this seems to be a fun new sport haha

Hahaha, that’s some kind of awesome! Thanks for the link!

I took a page out of your book and went and got a handful of Experimental Portal Guns…. I progressed further, but then fell through the ground to my death XD

I made it as far as I seemingly could though! It was super fun!

Alright, so… After running around Blazeridge Steppes for a bit, I decide to get the Vista on the broken part of the wall. I looked up on the other side of the gap and I think “Huh… I wonder if I can get over there”. So I spent a few minutes, and I found out: Yes, yes I can. Now, Maybe It’s just coincidental architecture, but you can continue on quite a ways. Unfortunately, there’s a gap I can’t seem to cross, but it does look doable, and it appears you can keep climbing the wall.

It’s been driving me insane, but I have to get some sleep before taking a crack at it again tomorrow. Here’s a map, slightly detailing the path and area I’m talking to. A is the start, B is where I’m trying to get, and the red X is the jump I can’t make.

If anyone else wants to take a crack at it, and see if it’s possible, that would be just awesome! If people care enough, I’ll post a video detailing it tomorrow, I’d do it now, but it’s sleepy time

You are the worst person on the forums right now, I fully support this chaotic and kittenly idea.

Griefing during this event was pretty annoying but it’s still doable. I’d suggest just finding a new instance. When I was doing my run there was a group of two trolls doing what they do best, during the first jump at the beginning after you pause for a moment, they would spam walls of text (as large charrs). I blocked them and found a new instance, and continued on until I got it

1. You’re not being “punished” so stop acting entitled, it’s circumstance
2. I’m sure they’ll work something else out regardless

I understand your plight, but I hate the way you go about voicing it.

I got an exotic from the dungeon. My opinion on the one time event though, is that everyone complains too much. It was a one time event, and if you wanted to see it in person, you could have. Don’t blame ANet for your disappointment, blame the users for all the horrid speculation and whining behind it. It was a nice little cutscene, and nobody appreciates it.

Because saying that it was so special that it CAN ONLY BE A ONE TIME event is not hyping it all?

Oh wait…

Implying that I said they didn’t over hype it
