Guild Wars 2

Won’t happen.

Everyone hates us Necros

I guess aNet could squish this issue by allowing more items to be sold or salvaged.

A short answer to a lengthy question:

As it stands, underwater combat is handled reasonably well and is as ‘fun’ as ground-based combat. Sure, you need a bit more work to handle the Z-axis, and I do find myself floating at exactly the wrong depth sometimes.

It’s good enough.

Say that Cantha and Elona do make a return somehow in thier own ‘expansions’, do we think all expansions will be mix-and-match, so we can have some without others, or do we think we’ll need Exp#1 to run Exp#2 to run Exp#3, etc, etc ?

Ahhh yes.

Although I don’t want to rake though the coals about pricing-points too much (I DO think it is aimed a bit high), but I notice a very high proportion of posters here highlight the lack of the offer of a new character slot for existing users a very bad deal.

If I was in some sort of control, but was unable or unwilling to alter the price-points, I would organise it so the base expansion pack’s CD code was dual-purpose. Those new users could use it to create a new GW2 account, but existing users could redeem the code against at least one new character-slot.

Not an ideal solution, but I bet many here would consider that option.

As others have said in threads, the original game was offered with far less character slots then there were actual characters. I don’t recall that ever bugging the heck out of anyone who bought the original game. /shrug

So? ‘Less’ character slots, and ‘No’ character slots are different ends of a stick – no?
I’m sure it WOULD have bugged the heck out of you if GW1 only came with a single slot – or none?
Anyway, I see you went straight to what happened about a decade ago, which has little, if nothing to do with this issue. Plus, I outlined a perfectly valid get-out for anet.

So go ahead and potter off and spend $75+ to get your slot, because – trust me – this situation IS bugging the hell out of GW2 users – just not you . /shrug

This bug seems to have changed slightly.

The white arrow now disappears if I let myself die, and respawn, whereas it would normally hang around unless I logged out, no matter what I did.
Also, I’m now getting reminded that I’ve died, so the beginner’s hint system for low health and death seems to be latched on all the time now.

I’ve noticed it. Anyone know if it’s in GW2’s buglisting?

At least you don’t need to do the WvW areas anymore. They were a right pain to complete.

It happened again yesterday (twice actually), and your F12 hotkey tip worked to bring up the logout/options screen. So thank you for that tip.

However, another nasty side-effect of this bug seems to be a random inability to mouse-click on a foe to target them, and – obviously – not being able to use Esc to cancel untriggered Wells or AOE spells if they are no longer required.

Thank you anet for another interesting addition to your increasingly eclectic bag of bugs !

Glad to have helped to point you in the right direction – even if my response was meant as light-hearted (except, possibly, to members of the Greek Treasury, and EU moneylenders).

I would make some comment that his name sounds slightly Greek, and perhaps he was a government operative attempting to plug Geece’s debt hole.

But that’s just silly – so I won’t say that.

It’s refreshing to see another long-term player asking similar questions to me. Been playing since the beta, and still simple things confuzzle me.

ShadowCatz.8437:

Have anybody tried to use F12 key to get the same option for log out/change char. when this happen?

No. Must admit I didn’t know about this recourse.
Next time it happens (if it does), I’ll give it a shot.

Yes. Mine works too – Yay !!!

You see. All this lobbying does work

Yep. Same here.

I had this happen to my Thief last night.
I was running low on health and the game ‘reminded me’ to perhaps use my heath skill, which I did. Good idea, thanks GW2.
I’ve seen this reminder before. The game must know I’m a thickie.

However, this time, the arrow remained, but it turned out to be a bit more than a mere cosmetic glitch.
I found that I could not bring up the small red log-out/Settings/etc menu window using the Esc key. All that happened is the white arrow jumped up and once again pointed to my health skill. Repeated punches of Esc resulted in more arrow jumping until I gave up and went to Desktop to close it dirtily.

When I went back in, all was fine.

The notes for the latest update (19th May), do not mention this sigil as being fixed.
So I assume Anet are still ‘looking into it’.

Perhaps us Necros are being singled-out unfairly.

Come on guys. We don’t smell of death as much as we used to.

Me and my sisters’ genes mean we can’t handle alcohol well, so a restriction in the sale helps me with my headaches, and helps my Warrior sister in hitting far less trees than Grawls.

Is this bloody thing still not fixed??!

I reported this months ago. I’m guessing anet are too busy working out what else to break when HoT hits the deck.

I sometimes like hanging around the lower-level areas, and participating in any events that crop up. Sometimes because I’m in the mood for just bumming about with my brain in low-power mode, or sometimes as I like helping lower levels who may (or may not be) experiencing all this for the first time.

Or perhaps – if the OP wants Neccies to ‘be more with the dead’, go back to the GW1 minion raising model, whereby you actually require a corpse to generate a minion.

that might be fine for pve and hilarious in wvw, but it wouldnt work in pvp which the game seems to be balanced around.

This is indeed true. Although, the Neccie concerned could just bring a bag of body bits with her.
But no, fair point.

My Thief, Haniyama Hime, her armour consisting of:

Magi’s Emblazoned Helm of Grenth (not worn, as she claims it messes her hair up!)
Apothecary’s Emblazoned Shoulders of the Afflicted
Assassin’s Marauder Jacket of Divinity
Magi’s Emblazoned Gloves of the Eagle
Sentinal’s Sneakthief Leggings of Divinity
Carrion Rogue Boots of Balthazar

Exactly, and I can choose which of my single Mail-Carrier animation I can use as well.

So go on Anet. It’s not exactly Rocket-Surgery to add sub-sections for these other items you are selling, some of which are more use than seeing how your kitten mail is delivered.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Seeing my female char idly kicking the ground at a tense moment or stretching sensuously while consulting with important people felt very wrong.

There it is. I was waiting for someone to say it was “sensuous” or “sexy”. I don’t see it. I sincerely hope that isn’t part of the reason for its removal. But then, I’m not worried about the Norn fist-smacking or Asura knuckle-cracking either. My “immersion” isn’t spoiled so easily.

The animations are there to convey emotion. The Norn fist smacking can express readiness to fight. The Asura knuckle cracking can show readiness to start a job. Tell me, what does a woman idly kicking the ground or stretching show readiness to do?

It simply was inappropriate for the female chars to stretch like that or to idly kick the ground. You might not seen the stretch as sensuous, but it was routinely described in those terms. Having those animations did not fit the emotions the personal story was trying to convey.

This response sounds as if it was lifted directly from ‘Political Correctness – The Way Forward’.

Do I mean ‘Account-Bound’?
Almost. Let me explain…

I have just purchased the Broom item from the gem store for no other reason other than it looks fun moving around in that way.
However, although the item is technically account-bound, and as such, freely useable by any of my characters, it is severely limited in that claim.

The only way I can use this item on a different character is to place it in my Bank, and then receive it with the other character. Not entirely flexible in my opinion.
This shortcoming not only reduces the value of this particular class of ‘novelty’, but also affects other potentially useful purchases such as the Home Portal Stone.

I’m hoping this isn’t a cynical ploy to get us to buy multiple units of these items, just to make it easier having them over many characters.

So, my suggestion is…
Why not have a pane on our Hero screen for these pan-character-enabled items? This class of item could then be placed in its own dedicated space that could be accessed whenever and with whatever character you are currently using – much like outfits and finishers.

Make our minions smell less of rotting flesh, then people won’t run and hide when we arrive, and we won’t get thrown out of bars so much.

Also, I want to be able to use a sword like my great-great-great grandmother in GW1. NW sounds like so much fun !

Ha ha. I like that idea.

The ability to ‘taunt by proxy’. Then I could be busy running away, and they can’t throw heavy things at me.

This sigil does now seem to be bugged. I reported it about a month ago.
The breakage happened on the 20th or 21th of March, as my BloodSeeker offhand worked fine on the 19th, then stopped working on next log-in.

It gains no more charges than 24, therefore the Demon is never summoned.

Be nice when it’s fixed as I liked that offhand (for the single day I managed to actually use it!).

Well, they’ve broken the Superiour Rune of Summoning, and that’s a bind to me.

Stand The Wall.6987:

Imo minions should be a lot more available and less powerful. This whole idea of having pets around that go on huge cooldowns when they die is a complete failure.

Or perhaps – if the OP wants Neccies to ‘be more with the dead’, go back to the GW1 minion raising model, whereby you actually require a corpse to generate a minion.

Are those the wooden ‘klonk’ sounds?
Sounds as if I’m hitting them over the head with a stick. Wait… I am. Oh dammt!

Paul.4081:

Pedophilia is just a tongue in cheek joke now?

It’s ‘paedophilia’.

Pedophilia sounds like it should be the liking of feet.
People should learn Latin more. It would help their spelling.

The OP was kind of wanting the effect of dying to be that of GW1, where – if you are dead, you are merely a spectator, unless someone had a res skill to spare, assuming all the Monks weren’t already dead as well.

You couldn’t zip to a nearby waypoint The choices were a res, watching, or leaving the instance for good.

I’m not sure about this, but it would definitely result in more careful gameplay approaches.

Ahhh. I thought it was just me. A reddit query also confirms it seems to be a general bug effecting this particular sigil.
It must have been a very recent patch issue, as the BloodSeeker worked for me the day I bought it, but not next time I logged-in.
I remitted a bug-report. All we can do is wait I guess.

Also, I posted the following post a while ago but – surprise surprise – no responses, so I’m glad it’s not just me.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/BloodSeeker-offhand/first#post4904363

I recently took command of a BloodSeeker offhand. This offhand – if you don’t know – summons a Fleshreaver killing companion after 25 kills.

The first day I used it, it worked as expected, and all was good in the world. This was on the 19th March.
However, after that date, the offhand fills with 24 kill-charges, and then proceeds no further, thus never summoning the Fleashreaver.

Is this a known new bug, or has anyone any pointers as to what has failed?

I suppose I should be somewhat annoyed, as I only have 3 or 4 ‘things’ to unlock to achieve an old-fashioned map-completion, all in WvW, and all that have been unavailable for ages. In fact, I’ve only recently unlocked about 3 more points because of blind luck.

But, there you go. At least I tried, and I won’t be unhappy to get an ‘adjusted’ map-completion bonus, and that warm and fluffy feeling inside.

Paying for items is all well and good if you have the gold and want to flaunt it, but I totally agree that certain items should be drop-only, and down to skill/area/luck/effort.

After all, what better incentive for a casual or relative newcomer to continue in GW2 than a surprise drop of an unexpected and original item?

This just goes to prove what I’ve always suspected…

No-one loves me

I’m surprised your Mother allowed you to go out dressed like that.

I’m not sure GW2 will ever feature the dyeing of hair, as this is part of an alteration package in the Gem Store.

However, a weapons dyeing facility would be fun.

Something like this..?

I’ve suffered a lot of lag and disconnects over the past week – usually when I’m in the middle of something important, dangerous, or both.

I’ve been spat at for being of Canthan origin.

They didn’t stay alive long enough to do it again, but that’s hardly the point.

Recently, I had was in the lucky position of getting a BL Key from a BL Chest, not once, but THREE times in a row!

I’m betting that’s quite slim odds.

I assume they will, merely due to the new profession being provided, but I’ve learnt never to take anything for granted recently.
I’m fine if there’s just one provided.

Thanks all for the responses.

Will HoT provide any extra character slots to our accounts, or are aNet hoping we’ll all buy these from the Gem Store?

Also, if you don’t worry about crafting, you can sell all those lovely materials through TP, and you’ll find a nice little profit now and again.
