Guild Wars 2

I wonder what other interesting bugs there are.
A friend of mine said that he got some pants that were invisible, so he equipped them, but nothing shows up.

So I was doing a dungeon run, and these “pants” dropped
It’s a glitch, but it’s kinda funny.
I did destory my previous gloves to upgrade to “these”…. Turns out they replaced my pants.
Now I am wearing gloves on my legs.

Hello people

So I reached level 33, not it doesn’t seem like much, but all my chars (every class, with char slots) are 25ish, so I played a lot (and couldn’t decide on class), but settled on ranger, which I think I play quite well (I think so at least, as I don’t die pretty much at all)
The problem is, I have no idea how to level up quick.
I have cooking at about 150, and no more money for mats, so can’t really craft, and i’ve started doing other starting area hearts, but now they are giving me next to no exp.
Any ideas where I can level up at a fast-er pace then I am doing right now?

I think it’s taken me a long time to get to 33, – 48 hours.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have excellent survivability, due to the fact that I don’t get hit often and use a sword/warhorn combo to get away quickly when in mele.
Does RaO give me any benefits to my Ranged skills?

So I picked my first Elite skill – Meladnru, and I think it was a mistake, as I don’t really like it.
I scavanged 10 more points and am wondering which skill is generally better for a kiting ranger that uses the shortbow most often.

Should I take entangle or Rampage as One?

Please help me decide
Thanks!

Ahhh okay!
I thought that you would get both boosts (1) and (2) since you had more than 2 ( x the ammount of runes) Okay, thanks a lot!

So I have a question about runes that you would apply to items.

You have your upgradeable items:
> Helmet
> Chest
> Shoulders
> Pants
> Boots (etc etc)

and a rune
Rune of Whatever(0/2)
(1) + 10 Power
(2) + 10 Vitality

If I use the rune on 1 Item, I get the 10 to power boost,
If I use it on 2 items, I get the +10 vitality boost.
Does it work like this: so 5 upgradable items, upgraded with 5 of the same rune, so I should get (50 power and + 50 vitality) or just +10 power and + 10 to vitality?

Please let me know!
Thanks!

I’ve learned that the only real way to play this game is to:
do the following.

1) “block” (right click on name and click block) the player
2) turn off chat entirely
3) play the game solo

There were some games that did away with these quite good.
I don’t believe gold spammers are behind a PC spamming, I think it’s a bot.
So they could implement a system where if enough players report the spammer, he has to type in a capcha or he can’t chat – account wide block.

Alternatively, I also don’t think that it would be difficult to get some GM on each server to ban the players for such actions. It’s not hard.
A full IP ban would be nice.

ArenaNet, if you read this, could you please update us on (if) you are looking for possible solutions?

So, after playing this game since launch, It seems like these gold spammers are comming more and more.
Upon logging in today, I was greated to 7 unread messages of gold spammers offering me gold, and no matter what I do, report them or not, they still keep popping up.

Is there no way to have more legitimate GMs playing on the servers to ban these guys?

All this happened in a span of less than 30 seconds.
Something really needs to be done.

Just look at this.

Yep…. No love…
I feel alone here, all alone with my glitch, that slowly makes it’s way down to the bottom of the ArenaNet forums :’(

No love for the rangers

And in different locations (ISPs, at work now), it’s still not smooth. It’s always nudging you back…..

So, yep…. Maybe the devs know about this, maybe it will be fixed after the update…

Ganpot.3879:

I’ve noticed this too, and I’m almost positive it’s the game thinking you’re lagging because of the sudden change in location. Then the game tries to correct this bug, which puts you closer to the initial location.

I don’t think it’s lag (on my end), but you may be right about the game interpeting it as lag.
That being said, I don’t have the fastest internet connection (28 Mbit), but (Joking about being slow), it’s more than fast enough lol.
Hm…. I wonder what it’s doing.
Too bad we don’t have an official word from ArenaNet on this. A Dev answer would be great (and I know they are busy working out the kinks, so no rush :>)

(Video is now up)

I start to run at the Moa (W), use the skill (3), it connects, lunges me forward, and then the skill forces me to stop (I am still holding the forward W key), I have to release the forward key (W) and press it again to keep moving forward, if I kept holding it, I wouldn’t move.
It’s deffinitely not the intended operation of this skill.
Also, notice how when I lunge forward, I get “pushed, or nudged” back.

Elshagan.6342:

You can use it while running away facing the other direction. Your character will do a spinning jump and shot while turned backwards if this shot connects you gain swiftness… BUT it won’t push you forward. This is merely a way to gain swiftness when running away.

No, it doesn’t push you forward, it’s kind-of strange.
Say I am moving backwards, fire the skill, the skill connects, my character JUMPS backward, and then slightly nudges forward. This is not supposed to happen (The nudging forward).
Retreating, what I think it is, is moving backwards (i.e. holding the S key).

The nudging behaviour is what I am saying is glitched.

EDIT: It’s also not at all fluid. You kind of stop midway:
I will upload another vid, it’s clearly glitched, you will see what I mean.

Hello people.

I do believe that the ranger skill “Quick Shot” is glitched.
The intended purpose of the skill is to Launch you backward, and, if the shot hitts your enemy, gives you 33% swiftness for 3 seconds.

The glitch comes from when I am firing and moving backwards:
If I use the skill, while moving backwards, my ranger jumps back, like indended, gets swiftness (the skill connects) for 3 seconds, BUT then nudges forward again.

So it’s like 3 steps backwards (with quick shot jump) and then 1 step forward again (which isn’t supposed to happen), all while holding the backward (S) key.

EDIT: Also, if I hold Back(S) + Left(A) or Right(D), my character doesn’t move at all after the jump backward.

PS: The skill says “Can be used during retreat”, which is, in this case, erronious, since I am jolted forward again. I will provide a YouTube video if needed.

Thanks

EDIT: Video Link will be uploaded here: http://youtu.be/qXvBksiXkCc

EDIT: I will look for a better case, as it might not be 100% clear in this video, but it is the gyst of the error. It always jolts forward.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I really like the ele, and no matter how hard it is to play as the class, I will still master it!
I was using dual daggers as well, but I just can’t seem to get a grasp on how to get that right damage output.
Perhapps the reason I am struggling is because improper skill usage (most likely), or the fact that I haven’t unlocked traits yet (soon).

What do you put your stats into?

Thanks again for your help!

Hello all!
I pre-ordered the game a while ago, and played since the pre-release date.

I’ve tried all the calsses, but I really want to play the elementalist, however I seem to be having a difficult time.
Currently I am level 8, but it seems like my Damage output is very low. For example I had no issues with my Warrior (when she was level 8 ) killing the Golden Moa and Bandit level 8 mobs that are outside a garrison in Queensdale, however it’s an entirely different issue with the Elementalist.

I can survive as an elementalist, I am pretty good at using blind and evading, however it always seems like I do not have enough damage output to make it worthwhile. I chip away at the enemy health slowly, but I can never seem to get anywhere with it.

And when I am close to killing them, they run away and regain health.

Aren’t Elementalists supposed to have the highest damage output of any class?
Please let me know what I am doing wrong :>

Thanks!
