Guild Wars 2

I really love the idea of my mesmer’s weapons being conjured, so I use the phantasmal skins. The 1h sword is whisperblade. Just made the axe too in anticipation of Mirage. ^^

I don’t play often these days, but I’d love to be in a vegan guild. I may check out your guild Centaureae.

Hello Aya,

First, I’d try the following:

1. Locate the file “GW2.exe” and right-click it, selecting “Create Shortcut.”

2. Rename this shortcut to “Guild Wars 2 Port Test.”

3. Right-click on this shortcut and select “Properties.”

4. Edit the “Target” line to include /clientport 80 at the end. Note: Please make sure /clientport 80 is outside of the quotes.
— Correctly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe” /clientport 80
— Incorrectly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe /clientport 80”

5. Once completed, click “Ok” to save your changes. If you get an error trying to save, your target line may not have the correct format. Please try Step 4 again.

6. Double click “Guild Wars 2 Port Test” and try connecting again.

Hello Ashley. I am also having the same issue and I just followed your step-by-step guide and I am still unable to log in. Please help, I really want to check out the gem store sales for that awesome Kasmeer staff but I’m unable to because of this error.
Thanks for your time.
Ok now its magically working again. lol. =/

Oh my god, this is my new favourite thread 8D I love seeing all these ideas and sketches on new sylvari hairstyle. And thank you, Ms. Perry, for sharing insight on the sylvari hair designs going on in Anet.

I would like to share some of my artwork myself! Sometimes I just design some unique hairstyles for my characters and pretend they have it in-game. Sorry if they are a bit plain!

More sketches:

Amazing. I’ve seen much of your stuff on DA I believe. Love your style. I particularly love the first image linked and the brambley nightmare court style. Thanks for sharing.

I am furious about this, because I had this staff and since the patch where it became account bound, mine has disappeared from my character. I think I may have transmuted it at some point. I cannot remember, but using the new transmute splitter item does not return the staff to me either. :

Murke.7193:

So I forgot what I really wanted for my ele. I still like the long style I had, but with this my Mab can really feel in bloom and I can’t believe I forgot it in my last post. Also I don’t have a turn around for this one cause it’s just Canach’s flower on her head, with leaves and vines coming down.

@ iriyabran I’m gonna need one too!

Murke! Heya. Love the pic, I agree for that style. First time I’ve bumped into an in game friend on here. :P I would love that kind of style on one of my characters. <3

Kristen Perry.5260:

There have been trends and themes, but one question makes me curious. I see a lot of folks mentioning what they’d like to see on sylvari, but that’s a different question than what they’d personally like for their own character.

Major disclaimer: no promises, no schedule, etc… But if you were daydreaming about what you personally want for your sylvari, what would it be? :} What would its presence feel like? What style? What materials?

Hi Kristen,

Please let me start by saying your artwork and designs for the Sylvari are fantastic. They are the most beautiful, inspiring race I’ve had the privilege of playing so far in an MMO.

As far as more options for my characters, I would definitely like longer hairstyles indeed. Elegant hairstyles perhaps with flowers peeking out here and there. I think a very fun idea would be to implement hair decorations (as currently none of the Sylvari styles has any that I can recall) in the form of natural pieces. For example, a headband or ponytail holder or barrette (sp?) holding up part of the long hair could be made of (color interchangeable at creation perhaps) ornately, delicately woven branches or vines, even perhaps with tiny glowing berries or gems or pearls accenting it.

Flowers could also be both small, woven in parts of a hairstyle or even a large centerpiece on the side of the head, etc. I think I just want more flowers in general! My two current Sylvari are both female. One is a guardian and has the short leafy hairstyle. It fits her perfectly. My elementalist, though, I find I’m wishing for something more elegant, delicate, long. Something exotic with branches, even perhaps done up in a mock bun of sorts, the leaves of her hair twisted up and held or supported by something, perhaps even a ‘half branch’ type head, with the bottom being branches and the top being leaves held up by it or spilling over.

I apologize if I’m being too specific now. The race is so lovely that I couldn’t help but generate my own ideas as well. TL;DR: More long hair, please!

Also, please forgive me as I was pressed for time and it’s been quite a while since I’ve drawn anything, but here are some doodles from me of female (or unisex) hairstyles I would love to see.

I absolutely love the 2 styles on the right. o: Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Testing various builds atm but happy to go a particular build if it benefits the team. I prefer not to use a GS build but recently I have been in spvp as it seems one of the best offensive weps for point taking.

You can contact me in game via message or mail on Lady Emma Frost or Sorceress Artemisia.

So i decided to start posting some sketches i’v made, i’v quick painted em even cause i can’t rlly digital paint, it’s just so the diffrent “materials” were easier to tell from one another a Palm Tree Pony, and a Flowery Long Hair

Hope you like it :P more will come meanwhile, i rlly enjoyd drawing those

Wow I really like these designs. I sincerely hope that the lovely Kristen Perry will add more hair styles for Sylvari soon. There’s so much potential within the plant kingdom. I personally would love some long styles for female Sylvari. I really like the long style you shared. I just really like long straight hair styles, maybe with some volume or flicked out tips.

I have faith in Kristen to provide many more beautiful designs in the future.

I currently run with 2 x mad king and 4 x lyssa in pve with 20/20/20/0/10 and it actually makes confusion useful in PvE. Especially with scepter. Also it allows me to stack vulnerabilty and bleeds higher and makes my cripples etc longer. Because altogether i have 40% longer condies with 73% longer confusion. I use the vuln sigil on my staff and MH sword (when I switch out scepter) to bring vuln up to 50% longer. Works pretty well I think.

This is just with zerker armour and currently valk jewellery. Working on making those carrion to raise my condi damage a bit. I mostly have the condi duration for the non-damaging condies but the confusion is really nice too as extra bits of damage.

It’s my favourite build since launch.

Having the same issue. Eu server. At one point I did manage to log in but I had the social bug where I cannot see guild members or communicate with them or in a party.

The same has happened to my group on several occasion. But never 3 times in a row. We keep having it today at various %’s of HP.

I cannot stand the sound of it. It’s even worse when doing TA Exp runs, when everyone is nuking a female Nightmare Court NPC and you just hear dog yapping. I hate it in PvP too when I’m under attack and my illusions also make the noise when they take damage. ><
It really should be changed, have an option added to turn off your own character sounds/dialogue or just alter the frequency of which our characters/sylvari female NPC’s make pain sounds. Its very irritating and ridiculous.

Honvik.8716:

Just a small heads up. Support still unable to fix me and recommended reporting the bug. Clearly this isnt the best option to carry on playing with a gamebreaking issue like this. I’m convinced now it has a link to data in the database and server load since its ok at 1am GMT until 6am GMT then breaks, then refixes occasioanlly mid afternoon. Broke again at 5pm on the dot!

Same with me. The reply was utter pointless. I had already reported the issue in-game and this is an extremely game-breaking issue.

I just had the bug occur during an explorable dungeon run and we tried to finish the dungeon by me talking through /say before it would kick me from the dungeon. We get the final boss to about 20% and I get kicked out of the dungeon and receive no tokens or anything. A complete waste of a dungeon run.

Ticket Reference: 120924-004079

I created this ticket over a week ago for an extremely game-breaking bug that is completely ruining my gaming experience everyday.

At approximately 5pm BST everyday, a bug is occurring that will flag me as unable to communicate with my guild, my friends, party or whispers. I cannot see the guild/party/whisper chat channels, accept invites or join my friends.

If the bug occurs during a dungeon it will kick me out of the dungeon and I cannot rejoin, making the runs a complete waste of time as this usually happens when we are approaching the final boss.

The bug will also change often in the guild interface. Usually it will display me as the only member in my guild (which I am leader of) then it will show members who are online as ‘not representing’ and I can still not communicate with them. Eventually it will show my guild window as completely empty, other than the ‘What is a Guild?’ page.
I waited patiently last week for a reply about the issue and some sort of resolution, when all I was replied with was a thank you for reporting the issue manually and instructions on how to report a bug in-game, which I already knew how to do and did with this bug.

I can confirm this, as I’m the partner having the issue. :P The same happened with me Honvik. It worked briefly at 12am then broke again. It started working at 12am again last night and lasted until I went to bed at about 1am.
Such an odd bug.

Ok so it briefly fixed at midnight UK time for me and then it’s gone broken again. Seriously can arena net please respond to this thread or my support ticket. =( Its blocking me from doing any of the usual things I log on to GW2 to do. =(

Yes Mizzrym is talking about me. =( I’ve had this happen everyday since the latest patch. It sucks because I can’t do anything with my friends or guild, I can’t even chat. =(At least I know I’m not alone :P)

I go everyday and I hate exploits too. If I’m having to go there I at least want to have some challenge and enjoy it. If you’re on EU you should contact me and join us sometime. I have a guild for running TA. xD

Haha! I need even more than that. I plan to get all the nightmare weapons for my character.

Razzy.2741:

Hi,
I would be happy to join experienced players. I already collected full armour, but I’d like 2-3 more weapons from there too, so I could do some more runs. I don’t mind playing with pug, but they often take my good word of advice as “bossing”, which can be a bit annoying.

If possible, I’d like to run all the paths. I enjoy all of them, while going UP is quite boring. FF is my favorite route I think.

Nice, I grow tired of UP too. FF is actually pretty simple if executed properly. I’ll add you in game. Hopefully will have some runs sorted shortly.

To be more specific, any people in EU interested in TA explorable runs, feel free to contact me.

Good job I’m in the EU then

Oh nice.

That is incorrect as I’ve just noticed. If some of you are on EU servers and some on NA, it will not put you together. I got ‘Network Error’.

Shame you aren’t on Piken Square. I have a guild especially for TA farming. We go everyday at least all 3 paths. Sometimes some repeats if we aren’t sick of the sight of the place. :P

We can still play with you Mystique, you just need to invite us and when in the same zone (regardless of server) we’ll get the popup. I’ll add you friends too

:O I had no idea we could do that! I’ll add you both right away. ^^ If you guys want a guild invite, let me know. We end up getting a nice chunk of influence from the TA runs. xD

I’m already in a long term guild Mystique but will happily represent yours when I play TA with you

The cross server thing doesn’t seem to work if people are in NA and EU. I kept getting ‘Network Error’. =(

I was wondering the same. We get the same issue with the T2 cultural weapons for Sylvari but I’ve seen their models on NPC’s. Would be great for the previews to be fixed or to see what the Warden item models are actually like.

They are so adorable. My partner and I love them to bits. I can never resist helping them if I pass by a dynamic event involving them. xD

My partner actually created a bank guild called ‘Protectors of the Quaggans.’ ^^ I really hope they do release some plushies some day as we’ll both want 1.

Yeah I am in exactly the same situation. I plan to collect as much of the TA stuff as possible as I think its great. But it would be nice to do other dungeons fr more than just the ‘fun’ and not be spammed with various tokens I will never use.

If the tokens were account bound then maybe it wouldn’t be so bad, but they are bound to one character, so it’s not like I can even use the tokens I don’t want to use for my main, on an alt.

I’ve noticed it seems to happen in an area where there may be some water nearby. Although it happened to me at the Dark Reverie jumping puzzle area and I didn’t think there was any water there, apart from underneath the entire world. =S

I have to say, I really do love the dialogue in this game. The personal story dialogue, NPC conversations around cities and much of the combat dialogue.

However I find that it becomes very irritating and ‘spammy’ when you are running a Mesmer build that uses mantra’s a lot. The fact that every single time we charge a mantra we say the associated mantra dialogue. I realise I can turn down dialogue volume to zero, but then that means I don’t hear any other dialogue in the game at all.

What I suggest is either a way to toggle off our own character’s combat dialogue or simply limit how often we say the mantra dialogue on mesmer’s. So once per cast within every 30 seconds or something. I love the dialogue, but the frequency is a bit much.

Right now I am deterred from using a build that involves charging mantra’s often, because of how repetitive the mantra dialogue is.

Yeah I did too. Don’t worry you’re not going crazy. :P

I think this is the one we’re all talking about.

This armour I have been dying to have since I saw the profession art on the official site. It’s in game on NPC’s so technically we should be able to get it somehow. Arena net said that if an NPC is wearing it, we can wear it. I really hope it’s armour and not just towns clothes as I’d want to be seen in this all the time. xD It’s so Mesmerific!

If you have an answer for us please let us know Kristen Perry. :P

If you dodged and made a clone and you were already at maximum illusion limit and have the trait ‘crippling dissipation’ then that would have crippled the enemy on clone overwrite.

I hadn’t noticed this bug actually. I did notice however, that the visual for this spell will often not appear, which is a shame because it ’s a cool looking ability.
