Guild Wars 2

Wanze.8410:

If by people you mean yourself and your other 30 accounts, I would agree.

And all 30 are some of your best customers!

Checked in on GW2 for the holidays, nothing new to see here going back to other games til the next event. Have fun guys and happy holidays!

Yep, if you keep saying the same thing it offends the gods of creative conversation and you will be cut off. Try being less polite and possibly tossing a few witty insults, those people NEVER get their chat privs taken away /s

Chyanne Waters.8719:

And Mess up the reason people play?

^^^This ^^^

The only reason I log in every day (other than the freebie) is to do my time gated crafting plus crystal harvesting in Dry Top. In between LS chapters and events there isn’t anything to do except grind the same old content.

Inb4 flames: not everyone is going to agree with me, i’m just saying I disagree with the OP’s suggestion based on my personal experience.

In Russia, game plays YOU!

I’m grabbing my tinfoil hat on this one.

To quote the Risen, “It begins!”

Isolationist state here we come

Has anyone heard if they’ve addressed the bugs with Halbion? Specifically i’m referring to the Pre taking 30 minutes because the mobs won’t spawn and also not getting credit towards the daily but getting an event chest. I’ve done it several times from pre thru the Justicar kill and not gotten the daily credit so it’s not a matter of participation.

kurfu.5623:

The Mad King says – just go do your business in DR until after the festival ends. Problem solved. I guess it’s more fun to complain on the forums, though. /shrug

Im foncused, Did the Mad king say “Go do business in DR”?, “Complain on forums”? or
just “Shrug”?

Or all 3???

Literally biting my tongue….

What would be the harm to adding storage slots to the BLTP? Say 400 gems each and they would store up to your account limit (250-2000) of ANY material. This way Anet makes coin from it and players can hoard based on their interests.

I have been having a problem for a couple weeks now. We have 4 family members who play GW2 and each of us have our own computer. The house is divided into 2 separate internet providers and we have 2 systems on each one.

The problem is that the same 2 of the 4 computers keep getting disconnected every 5 to 10 minutes and get a pop-up window that says they have lost connection to the server. This is regardless of which ISP they are connected to and whether or not they are connected wirelessly or ethernet cable. I tried repairing the game on both of them and now have gone through the process of completely reinstalling but the problem still exists. It doesn’t make any sense to me why i would get disconnected on one computer while still staying connected on a second computer hooked up into the exact same router. Any ideas would be helpful at this point

Malediktus.3740:

Law of large numbers definitely does not apply at 100k bags if there are drops that have around 1 in 100k or lower chance.
It would barely be enough to verify items with 1 in 10k chance

And there it is…..

Pirate sword is a strong honorable mention

The title should be something like “Anet owes me a new keyboard” or “No more kittens in the microwave”.

Congrats on finishing the JP btw.

mia.8209:

I really wonder if it’s possible to suggest anything on a game forum without people fighting you on it… Like you could go “everyone should get a free glider” and some people would still be like “THAT IS UNFAIR TO PEOPLE WHO DON’T LIKE GETTING FREE THINGS!!” – it’s amazing how even to have the option of something, for a price and with restrictions, that would make the game more enjoyable for some people and have absolute no effect on others, is still somehow a controversial thing.

Best quote in any forum, ever.

It’s seriously like there’s 10 or so people on these forums who exist to take the opposite stance on every issue and they stick together like a pack of raptors.

BTW @OP if you want free WP’s without having to run all over Tyria just take your toon to Fields of Ruin (Via Rurikton in DR) and pick up a rift stabilizer. It takes you to just about every zone and gives you an easy starting WP to return to local events. I wouldn’t care if they ever actually finish the rift event tbh i’m just happy my alt army now can WP everywhere

Not only have the increased the DR but the leather salvage has also been reduced to almost nil. Geesh i wish I had Maize Balm farming back again.

Kruhljak.2705:

That result was 9.25% chance to yield Hardened Leather over Thick, which just so happens to be pretty close to my earlier testing using Basic kits which came in at 8.25% over ~3.5k results. This smells like any kit may have the same, or similar, chance to get a +1 tier mat. My sample sizes are large enough to reveal the gulf between the 25% claim (if it even applies here) and actual results, if not showing total accuracy. I also broke results up into 500 unit batches (before combining them for a final number) to ensure there were no oddities. No batches exceeded 11.5% chance.

This is a whole other thread. Leather salvaging has been nerfed (not going to debate this issue btw) and shouldn’t be used as an example for any returns imo.

Obviously some of the events like Knights would only be workable during primetime but I honestly think there would be enough interest to complete them. Especially if there was some form of way for players to know of a schedule beforehand. Lots of details to work out in a lot of these events but I truly think it would not only be workable, but extremely popular.

I’ve been rattling this around in my head for a while. I would love to see the daily activity participation occasionally mixed with what I am calling an Asuran Chrono Experiment.

Asuran Chrono Experiment would involve possibly once or twice a week traveling through a Time Travelling Asuran portal that would take players back to Historical Events. Some of these events could include Revenge of the Capricorn, Queens Gauntlet, Origins of madness, Escape from Lion’s Arch, Festival of the Four Winds, Queens Jubilee and many other historical events that Anet has the coding for and never plans on returning because it doesn’t fit into the current story line.

This would be an extremely popular addition for many us players who were here for the original release as well as for players who joined late and have no idea how amazing these events were. It would also (with a slight chance) allow players to get some of the ridiculously overpriced retired items and recipes that came from these events ie.Knight Power Cores, Sigil of Torment recipe, Chaos of Lyssa Backpack etc……. The list is almost endless.

I might be way out of touch with the rest of the player base but I honestly believe that the majority of players would LOVE to see this kind of event even if it were limited to 1 trip a day. If you agree/disagree please add your thoughts or dislikes.

Without making any assumptions, why can’t you buy HoT? Is it the purchase price or are there other factors involved such as hardware or physical location?

Pro: You get to swear like Gordon Ramsey.
Con: You don’t get your own TV show.

Pedroso.4603:

As always, balance focused on (Nerfing) pve and not pvp.

gg.

Fixed!

I had 50 obsid to work with and wound up with 40 clovers doing 10 at a time, so i’m going to say RNG hated you on that run.

Pug.9784:

My own history should show I use WvW often, PvP sometimes and JP,s almost never for dailies

You don’t actually have to do the JP’s, there’s always a ton of Mesmers porting to the end unless porting isn’t possible.

Maybe this is related to the NPC’s that don’t sell petrified wood after you complete the hearts in Ebay.

None of my guild are getting credit for any harvesting in any zone towards this so I second this bug.

On some things insta sell is our preferred method of selling an item. Regardless of whether or not it’s the “recommended” method of selling based on others players’ opinions it exists and in this case it sure sounds as if it’s bugged. Especially if I have to watch and verify every transaction.

My wife sold a Badge of Tribute on the TP tonight quick sell to the highest bidder for 23s28c. What she got back was was 45c! total http://i.imgur.com/2gs40hN.jpg . How is it possible that this item sold for 45 copper when the LOWEST it has ever been valued at is 16 silver?

If anyone has any idea why this happens (not the first time) please let me know so we can prevent it from happening again.

Thanks in advance.

Hesacon.8735:

I wouldn’t be upset if the different flavors of boxes were consolidated in some way. That would make it easier to let them stack for later opening, rather than having to open a dozen different kinds of boxes to stop them from eating inventory space.

+1 to this idea. I save all of my champ boxes until the end of each month so I have thousands to open and the variety of boxes is getting ridiculous.

For gosh sake don’t feed it! It will never go away!

On the topic of QOL, remove the auto consume from the Mastery XP scrolls we get from event chests. Those of us who have chosen not to raid are completely losing out on the benefits of these.

Ty for this

I’m not seeing the Petrified wood for sale from Scientist Vratt (Vermingus’ crater) since this morning. Does anyone know if they removed it from his selection or am I bugged somehow?

BrotherBelial.3094:

If a JP dropped “Fat loot” then it would become a must do everyday.

My eye twitched a little when I read this. Best argument yet for bad loot in a JP lol because having to do THAT JP every day would make me throw kittens in the microwave.

Rokua.6873:

so for some reason when i woke up this morning and got on to guildwars 2 my loading screen took about 5 min, i did nothing yesterday the game worked fine (except for a lot of lag) but now the game loads slower than it does on my mac please help

Necroposting makes the mods Sad Pandas.

It would be really nice to see Silverwastes have a LFG category like all of the H.O.T. zones have, it has a high enough population to keep it busy most of the time.

Percentages aside I think the most common mistake people make about MF in GW2 is that it provides a boost similar to Diablo or other AARPG type games. Having it max doesn’t mean the boss will drop all exotics, it just means you’ll get less crap and more salvageable stuff. It’s important in the long run but not something you should be killing yourself to cap on day 1.

Adding my name to this pile

The King of Dust.7925:

In the same vein, checkpoint progress is reset if you get disconnected.

Since my connection is highly unstable and I get disconnected all the time, this makes the JP pretty much impossible to complete for me.

Checkpoint progress should only be cleared when going to another map or when completing the jumping puzzle.

Checkpoints should be a maintained buff for XX:XX period of time tbh, even logging out or leaving map shouldn’t effect them since they’re only good for 1 map anyways. Too many people are getting disconnected due to zone bugs anyways.

@OP i have never heard of not getting credit for the JP if you miss a checkpoint, so if it’s any consolation all you missed out on was 1 yellow and some t3 crafting materials.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Oh, you can advance the Heart with the Towers? I’ve given up on destroying them, as nothing ever seemed to happen, at least Heart-wise.

You have a better chance of advancing the heart by killing the towers IF you let them hit you once with their AOE and you’re standing on the same level as them when they are destroyed. You (usually) won’t get credit if you are standing on a tier above or below them. And I agree, this is the largest time-consuming heart due to the “no credit” bug.

Nemo.5609:

When I cleanse the spectral agony from an Ether tower using the special Counter Magic skill, my character continues to act as if slowed without having the condition present. All other parts of the spectral agony (cripple, confusion and torment) are removed with no residual effects; only the character’s action speed behaves as if slowed.
I have only observed this bug with the Ether towers’ agony, the Jade constructs’ is working as expected.

I’ve noticed this as well with only some of the towers. They are buggy as heck though and seriously need a second look. Another major bug with these towers and the constructs is for some reason they don’t count towards heart completion even if you solo them. On average I have to kill 2-3 of them to get 1 small advancement on the heart.

Joltz.8596:

Getting knicked from a salamander drake for 5 points of health trying to run past it shouldnt make me run slow for 10-15 seconds

That’s nothing compared to the 60 Second blindness/slow if you get within 10m of a dust mite.

Yargesh.4965:

They are repeatable daily. It is in the release notes.

They should have been called events then and not required for map completion. Dumbest idea to date imo.

Great map except for 1 thing. They labeled 5 events as “hearts” and require them for map completion. How can you compete something that has to be done regularly?

I competed 3 of the hearts in Ember bay last night and when I logged in this morning I had zero progress on ANY of the hearts. How is it possible that I completed the LS chapter and have zero progress on Ulaa or the others?

I’m solid on my Win10 settings set at Never to sleep, and with 3 high end gaming rigs in this house the only time any of them has the monitor go to sleep is when I walk away from the computer for 10 mins with GW2 or the GW2 log in screen running. No other games trigger it and I can leave them on all night without ever going to sleep if I close all GW2 programs.

Something in Anet’s software is bypassing my sleep settings and I’m just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue and if so, what they did to fix it.

I’ve noticed for quite a while that any time I have the GW2 client or even the log in screen open my monitor will go to sleep in 10 minutes. I have 3 different computers that are all running Win10 and all 3 do the same exact thing. I have my local setting to NEVER put the monitor to sleep but for some reason Anet has found a way to override it. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

The only 2 issues I have with the revive orbs are the HUGE casting time it takes to use one and the inability to cancel the use of one once you’ve started. Never fails that kind soul reaches you out of no where when the revive orb casting bar gets to 99%.

Impretty.7509:

Soon means soon… If you’ve played long, you know they won’t give a time.. that would just be stupid on thier part

Yes but “minutes/hours/days” or even a “we have no clue”" would be nice. Thinking back to the Sony glitch they used “soon” for over 2 months.
