Incident: 120923-003941
Self Resolved

Check your Mail Box, if you have 9/10 items of Mail, you mail box may have bugged, delete the old mail and it should all come rushing though, had like 6 Gold Sellers mail me as well, All reported

Incident:120923-003941
Brought some Fine Transmutation Stones about 4 days ago, still haven’t received them

I just thought of this because I loved it so much back in LotRO
The housing system worked so well, you could have big and small houses all in the district which can be brought, and it was all instanced.

Since we haven’t got Guild Halls Yet, why not allow the Guild Leader to Pick a City, The Home District then becomes the Guild District, Leader/Officers can then be assigned grander houses, with lower members given the opertunity to buy houses if they have the coin, The same houses could be used for multiple members, but each could have their own instance.

Another way ANet can gain money from the Gem Store would be to allow players to buy furniture and other decor items, while story accomplishments can be displayed for free, think of it as “HoM Mark II”

I must agree, this was one of my personal best moments in the game.

The fight requires you to actually work hard, but not too hard that you can’t do it on it’s own.
And for once, I can say Trahearne actually did a good job holding Agro, the Eye was constantly on him apart from one point when you have to dodge his focused beam attack.

Actually that is a good point as well
It didn’t really matter for me as I changed into the HoM gear, but if these pieces of selectable gear are supposed to mean something to us, why not make said gear level stat wise while we have them equipped, wouldn’t have to be every level like every 5-10 levels, could even be a choice in a personal story quest of which stats you want on it.

OK
I’ve actually seen the skill work now
But it’s still not working every time.
Perhaps it would be better to change the skill to automatically detonate after the 4 seconds of the skill has been used.

That’s it??
What the hell
I found said priest after running around like a headless chicken for 5 mins, so they aren’t exactly visible either, all they do is greet you, no awesome end-game vendor or anything.
So Dissapointed

And how exactly would this be judged on?

The amount of kills, amount of events completed, time spent active in WvW
This would hardly be a fair way of showing who is best, the highest kills would solely be won by those who use siege as they can demolish teams, so it would be a case of our could press F quickest.
most events completed can easily be done by escorting supply Dolyaks, as you can do about 2-3 in the time it would take to take down a tower.

No they are pre-existing condtions, but surely if you do become invunerable, it should negate those conditions for those 3 seconds

I just said this in my post
But what would of been awesome would be to get find an ancient weapon left in Orr by the Gods to be used against Zhaitan
Trahearne gets his ultimate weapon, I want Fiery Greatsword of Balthazar

Getting a Fiery Greatsword as item (not skill) would be friggin’ awesome.xD

Even just the skin would be awesome

An easy way to recycle skins (Just thinking of Greatsword versions)
Balthazar – Fiery Great Sword
Dwayna – Mystic Claymore Reskin (Has a lightning bolt going through it)
Melandru – Reskin of Warden Greatsword (Sylvari Cultural Weapon)
Lyssa – Reskin of Priory Greatsword (Deep Purple instead of Blue)

Not sure about Grenth and Kormir, but Im sure there could be something.

For those that didn’t play GW1, you were able to dye weapons back in that game and made things a bit more tailored to our liking. And you could dye anything, I even went to dying my bags gold because I thought it brought me more luck ^^

Oh really?
Well I don’t actually use the skill bar as I happen to have the benefit of using a mouse with keys on it, so I can actually keep moving at all times without having to stretch for for the far off keys and keep my mouse used as my viewfinder and mover.
Does that mean I’ll have to actually click the skill bar to use that skill as intended?

Lol, I meant pressing the key not clicking it :P Yes it seems lagg may have a factor in the use of the skill it doesn’t seem to always go off.

Yeah I do that, it’s the 5th key on my Naga, but the problem is that it never triggers, Im there in WvW smashing the hell out it and it never works =\

I would like there be a history mode so I could see what would happen if you picked a different option with that character
As to be honest, there’s so many different choices to make, you would need to make hundreds of characters to experience every character creation option, and then on top of different story options in game as well

I mentioned this in my thread.
She comes back if you pick the tank option, I was half expecting her to come back for a little more of the story.
My bone to pick with it is that if you pick the dead parents option, why couldn’t she be there as well if she appears near the end anyway no matter what options/race you pick, that fight would be a lot easier if you had someone another NPC, took me 3-4 attempts with my thief.

Renewed Focus is an awesome skill, I probably don’t make the most of it and use it only as a lifeline, but again, I do not feel it is working as intended.

The definition of “Invulnerable” is “Impossible to harm or damage” So why is it I still take damage from existing conditions such as bleeds and poisons?
Can anyone tell me if that’s the intended effect or not?

I for one love playing my guardian, I can do a ton of damage if well timed, I can provide a ton of boons to help my allies, and I look cool as well with my Heavy Armour

I do have some questions/suggestions about the skill (Shield of Absorption) which I would like to ask/suggest.

I don’t know if it working or not, but I feel that my Shield of Absorption isn’t working as intended.
It’s secondary ability is that the dome is supposed to detonate and heal nearby allies, If this is an activated ability, it doesn’t work, no idea how many times I’ve spammed 5, if it’s supposed to activate after the main skill duration, I can’t tell if it’s had it’s desired effect of healing nearby allies, heck I don’t even know if I’ve ever healed anyone using it and not used my Virtue of Resolve at the same time and that’s where the heal comes from.
To help show this, I would like to suggest changing the Skill Animation/Particle Effect, specifically the secondary effect. It states in the tooltip that it “Detonates” so why not add the animation of a proper detonation, have the bubble collaspe back into the Guardian, and have the “Healing Wave” go out to heal nearby Allies, that way it makes it a lot easier to see the actual heal and allies will see that they got it instead of just seeing a green number appear somewhere on their screen.

Before I start my little rant, I would like to say in advance that I do love the game, and actually starting another 2 characters so I can level with my friend and stay at his level when logs off by leveling another

I do have a few points that I would like to make and maybe someone can give me some closure into what happens.

Basic information here: Human Noble, Missing Sister, Balthazar, Vigil, Hytek.

1. Where on earth did Lord Faren go?
I mean, for a support character who is supposedly your best friend, I would of thought he would of at least appeared someway along the Pact story line with the plot of "Couldn’t let you have all the fun so I joined up ….. Order now, now we can kick some dragonkitten together, thunder buddies for life "etc…, because he was really up for adventure when it came to saving citizens of Divinity’s Reach from the Bandits, and after that I only saw him once where you could pick him as your 2nd against Minister Zaemon, but I would have thought he’d be weak so I went with Logan.

2. What happened to Deborah after I rescued her?
“Yay, I’ve found my only family that went missing for years, we should catch up, introduce back into our noble society, you should meet Faren, he’s changed a lot since then, maybe I could hook you two up…. Wait, where’d you go?”
Yes she comes back right near the end, but 1-2 quests and gets shipped back to Divinity’s Reach, I felt like she should of been in a bit more of it.

3. What about the other personal story options?
Yes I know that I didn’t pick the “Never found out what happened to my parents” option, but surely they could of been written in, even if it was for that personal story quest when Faren gets himself kidnapped from your party, and vice versa, if I was to supposed to pick the “Missing Parents” option, surely I could still have my sister who could of been a part of that particular part of the personal story
It starts off with you receiving that letter from the White Mantle, you could then inform said sister that someone has information about them, so she comes along with which in fairness would of made that fight a hell of a lot easier seeing as she a member of the Seraph as well, just started this story with my thief and it is stupidly hard, because she apparently appears near the end anyway, no matter what race/option you pick anyway.

4. Was there any reason for us Humans to pick a God? I mean, it was supposed to affect your personal story somehow right? No story about becoming an Avatar of Balthazar “Note, Awesome skill in GW1” or forging a weapon with his fiery rage imbued into it or anything? I mean they all have a temple in the ruins of Orr minus Kormir who’s temple still belonged to Abbadon back then, Could of had another story quest there finding a relic from the old gods to add defeating Zhaitan.

5. What happened to Forgal?
I think by now we all know what happens to him, he sacrifices himself to hold back the undead so you can escape Claw island, I was half expecting him to be a mini boss before you take on the dragon, yet no cigar, and then right near the end, when you are fighting the Sovereign Eye of Zhaitan, it mentions Forgal being under the wings of Zhaitan, admitted I had a moment of thinking “OMG, he’s coming back, I will put you back to rest my friend” but no, nothing, was really disappointed not to know what happened to him and was half expecting him to perhaps being a mini boss in the Arah Dungeon

6. Where did I get this Krait Orb and who is Apatia? Apparently I found this “Water Orb” which can stop undead from coming back and one of my subordinates Apatia was left behind so we could get away, the quest I did before was blowing up a risen ship. Was this orb in the ship and when it was blown sky high, did it land in my hands or something?
Also, I never even met Apatia who was supposedly my partner and had a deep connection with, so deep infact, we had time to go back to Hoelbrak and tell the rest of the Norn about her legend, speaking of which, why didn’t I do the same for Forgal???
I can’t remember now, but was she in the Vigil, I mean that would make sense as I picked the Vigil, but I was never introduced to her until I was told that she needed rescuing.

Apart from this, my story was really enjoyable and am looking forward to my next one.
