Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I just came out of a match where a person on our side dc’d for about ~2 minutes. I thought that when that happens you wouldn’t lose a pip? Is this correct or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Extremely fortunate to have the day off tomorrow due to some weird feature in my workplace that I’ve never encountered before (everyone gets tomorrow off…).

Your boss must play GW2

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever gotten a key from a player kill in WvW? I’ve only gotten maybe 2-3 from mob kills in PvE, but the drop rate was (is?) so low that I never expected to ever get one in WvW…

Tosh.5780:

Could it have been a Stealth distruptor Trap?

That was it!

Found a YouTube video of someone using one once I knew what to search for and the animations were the same. Thank you both Tosh and Jayne for the responses and if anyone is interested here’s a link to the video that shows the animation (it’s at about 1:30) :

I was roaming a bit in wvw tonight and noticed something that was new to me. Twice I saw a translucent looking whirlpool kinda thing hovering/spinning near me. Was about the size of an ele’s whirlwind but definitely not that. Only lasted about 2-3 seconds and would disappear – too quick for me to screenshot but will try if I see it again. Has anyone else seen this or know what it is?

Thanks for the info. Had no idea about the joining with another character to bypass the glitch. Will try putting in a ticket I suppose.

Hi all,

I’m sure some of you have also experienced this and might know the answer.

I disconnected during the beginning of the Brisban Mordremoth event, somehow managed to log back on and get 21 stacks but did not receive any rewards at the end of the event. Does anyone know if this one of the issues where Anet is going to mail the rewards eventually or should I put in a ticket?

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the fast responses. I never would have thought to consider Signet of Spite and the loss of the utility bar.

That did it! Thank you – now it makes sense.

:)

I noticed that when I traited Deadly Strength and went into Death Shroud that my power actually went down instead of up…

Bug or intended?

Edit:
Actually happens with or without Deadly Strength equipped. But still not sure why this is happening…

Cannons unusable for me as well.

Thank you for posting this!

Had a new guild member comment on how they liked my Corrupted Skellox axe skin the other day, they didn’t even notice that I had Howler equipped as my offhand…

Personally I think people will adjust. Right now it feels like everyone is still playing as if the stats they got from traits are still there and not compensating with amulets that provide the missing toughness/vitality.

You didn’t?
Apparently everyone else on the forum did
You should start paying attention my friend
Perhaps try playing a conquest match or two

The forums are in the exact same state they are after every patch (only a little more widespread because everyone is kittening about everyone else) – if that’s your metric then every single patch has been a massive failure.

If you think you’ve got the changes perfectly pegged after 18 hours, you’re being silly.

Just to note, that’s not to say you aren’t potentially correct, but you’re already 100% convinced that you’re correct, and that’s just not possible.

Boyer seems to be right you know. People in mists saying same stuff.

Sigh.

What bearing do a bunch of opinions with the same amount of experience (roughly 18 hours) have on my argument that people don’t have enough experience yet to properly judge the new content?

It doesn’t matter HOW many people believe in creationist theory, they’re wrong when they say the earth is 5000 years old. The number of people parroting that opinion doesn’t help “prove it”.

Again, I’d like to clarify I’m not saying he’s definitely wrong. I’m not saying that Raw DPS is in a good place right now – How could I? I don’t have any more experience than anyone else with the patch. All I’m saying is let’s keep the definitive statements of whats wrong and what needs to be fixed off the boards for at least a few days until a meta starts to develop.

Thats your opinion, nothing more.

and that’s your opinion on his opinion (sorry couldn’t help myself lol)

I would have to agree with Evil at this point as well – it’s too early to tell. I tried playing a power necro last night and used a Knight’s amulet, I could feel my DPS doing well and the toughness from the Knight’s amulet gave me a needed boost in survivability so I wouldn’t rule out toughness just yet. After that I tried playing a condi thief build, again it went well but I do acknowledge the “ramp up” part of the conditions but that was the case pre-patch as well. Next on my ranger I tried a power build with a Marauder’s amulet, other team was condi heavy – I definitely felt the condi pressure and it made surviving hard if at all.

TL;DR – Let’s give people some time to adjust builds and figure out the new skill sets.

Kuju.2153:

The fire field on Revenant Mace #2 skill still clips through uneven terrain unlike it’s similar skill on the Dwarf Stance, Inspiring Reinforcement, which seems to work fine. This was present in the previous beta as well. Sometimes you’ll get as little as 1/4 of the field’s intended size to show up.

I noticed this also, especially prominent on inclines – you might get 2-3 feet worth of fire field before it goes under the terrain.

Farzo.8410:

The story how the dragonhunter came to be is a long one with a lot of anger, sadness and a will of justice.

Made me laugh – ty

=)

They have to wait at least another 3 hours for the leaderboard to update ;-)

The animations on Howler were changed from a more showy version to what we have now in game a long time ago. There are still YouTube videos showing these outdated animations.

Imagine if you created Twilight only to find that it was a solid black with no “universe” in the blade or that one day you logged on and the animations were gone. Would you think of it the same or would you be like “what the kitten”?

There have been 2 threads posted requesting the return of the animations on Howler that I have personally commented on, I’m sure there have been more.

@Chameleon Dude – probably one of the best ideas that I’ve heard.

Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think anyone who previously bought bag slots would complain if they went on sale for 25% off or even if there was a limited-time promotion for an account wide unlock for say 1200 gems.

I think this is what you’re looking for?

It’s towards the bottom

serenke.4806:

… you arrive in mid in forest and then die 3v1 while your team kills your animal (which gets stolen by the enemy thief).

I had to laugh – happened to me too many times.

Could be anything as far as I’m concerned.

From a marching band of moas with fireworks holding a banner with “+1” on it going around HoTM, to a -1 on the scoreboard at the end and/or a yellow text in the chat box (just in case you exited the match before looking).

And thank you for the positive comment =)

Just a thought – would be nice to know at the end of the round if your leaderboard score adjustment was +1, 0, -1, -2, -3 at the end of the round.

Waiting for the leaderboard to update takes hours and then when it does update there is no reliable way to know what game produced what score.

Thanks,
Night

not partied up with them – but I should’ve mentioned that

Had two people dc (or leave) from a matchup and I still lost a point? Am I reading that right? I wish you could see the point loss/gain at the end of the match instead of trying to back track.

I feel your pain. I usually do ok in the long run but tonight was brutal. Ended up around 3 wins/7 losses and a 1 point gain overall. Tomorrow’s another day.

For a stress test I think it did well. I had no issues lagging or crashing, everything seemed to act as it should.

General thoughts -

• The Mastery UI could use a little work, needs to be more intuitive and easier to see.

• The wyvern fight was nice, great animation/effects.

• It wasn’t too bad for me since I’ve kept up with info, but for a new player the concept of channeling legendaries on the Revenant needs more explanation.

• Armor and weapon skins for the Revenant look AWESOME!

• Could use an indicator for the wyvern event or any other similar events such as in Silver Wastes when a breach occurs with the orange arrows. That should help newer players get to where they need to go.

• Overall well done so far, looking forward to seeing the next stage

=)

Howler deserves better bump

bumping to see the moon return

I would also really like to see the animation come back. I made Howler recently after seeing a video on it not realizing that it had been changed. Still glad to have the legendary, but am a bit disappointed at what little animation remains.

Please bring back the animation

Just an update – called Optimum online support and after about 45 minutes or so they agreed that something seems up with their DNS. They are looking into it.

Not sure if it’s related but I’m on Optimum Online also.

Having same issues. Was disconnected while playing about 5 hours ago and repeated attempts to login have failed since. Tried checking firewall setting and bypassing wireless router.

Thank you Mark for the update! =)

Seems like you got further than I did – every time I try to open the Story Journal the game freezes up on me. =/

I don’t usually post on the forums, but I wanted to give a thank you for deciding not to charge per color on commander tags.

Stairs on EB Red Keep?

Coming off of a great week with lots of good fights!

Looking forward to the competition and game play for the tourney.

Keep it rolling Kaineng!

Come to Kaineng for free!

Special K will always be known as the kittens that abused free transfers to make a slew of lower ranked servers miserable for months “back in the day”. If Kaineng attracted a large contingent of higher tier players and dominated bronze league that would have to be some type of cosmic joke.

I’m not advocating for Kaineng, especially b/c they aren’t my server (that would be AR, which is also free!), but don’t punish the few loyalists who are still there. The “kittens” who abused the system and gave Kaineng that rep are probably no longer even on the server, so don’t spit in the faces of the people left whom have committed none of those sins.

Thank you Blackbeard, that was quite nice and well said.

Wouldn’t know anything about that “back in the day” stuff – only played GW2 for 2 months at release and just came back about 3 months ago. But from what I’ve seen from Kaineng is a small group of hard working dedicated players that could use a hand.

Come to Kaineng for free with the Tournament incentive!

*We have a small but reliable core of players that enjoy wvwvw.

*With a minimal number we consistently defend our BL and on “big” nights we push out on to other maps.

*With YOUR help we can make this tournament much more fun and competitive!

Hope to see you there!

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned before, but I would like to suggest a check-box or some option that allows us to only use materials for crafting that are in our inventory and not count or use them from our warehouse. Sometimes I’ll be asked to craft stuff and it would be easier to know if I have received enough of the materials from another player without having my own materials being counted towards the number of items I can make.
