Guild Wars 2

No. There is a lot more to the expansion than just the elite spec.

I don’t necessarily hate it, but I’d prefer it it only flashed when we activated it initially and then faded away.

I was able to finally get through by changing my settings to performance as well.

This has happened twice to me as well. Always on the helix while I’m attacking a gate, though the second time I made it to the third gate before crashing.

It takes 20-30 minutes to get to this point, so I probably won’t try again until we get some sort of response.

Edit: wrong thread

Last night I had a client crash while on the helix in the HOT mission “Bitter Harvest.” Of course, despite logging back in immediately I was deposited back in the open world and had to restart the mission. Can’t believe this is still a thing, but anyway… This morning I decided to play through again. I got past the second vine gate, plinging away at the third, and my client crashes again.

I’ve played through the entire personal story, Living World Season 2, and up to this point in HOT without a crash like this, so I have to assume it’s something to do with this mission specifically.

Edit: I did discover my video driver wasn’t totally up to date(I think I was 1 update behind). Not sure if that would be the issue or not.

I’d love a pet griffon. Dolphin would be cool as well.

I am stuck here as well. I’ve tried it twice, both times all enemies at the gate are dead but the progress bar is at 95%. There are some enemies that keep respawning on the wall just to the west of me, but they do not count towards progress. I’ve circled the walls killing all of the stray enemies, killed the enemies inside the fort, etc… And yes, I used the arrow cart. I’ve even used it, stopped using it, and started again. Mission does not progress.

Update: I gave it another go. I used the arrow cart to soften them up, killed several with my weapon, then killed more with the cart. When there was one left, I killed it with my weapon and the progress bar finished.

*Halifax, Nova Scotia(Canada)
*Cannot get past character selection
*Disconnected during personal story mission shortly after the patch went up(though I didn’t download it until after the crash). Was able to get back in briefly, but disconnected again. Was in Malchor’s Leap.
*Error code: 1083:5:7:1595:101

Note: Just managed to get back in… But I was at the zone in point for the map, instead of the personal story quest marker.

I would love this.

pamela.8196:

So im stupid because I want to lvl my toon ?
im sure im not alone on this
and you sound like the person that have 10 toons and doesn’t know a kitten about any of them …

I don’t think you are stupid… But if leveling for the sake of leveling is really important to you, then GW2 may not be for you. ArenaNet have been saying since before launch that this game is never going to be about a level grind, or gear treadmill.

That said, there will be some form of character progression in HoT via masteries.

$30-40 seems reasonable for an expansion.

ManVSGame conducted the interview, though it doesn’t seem to be on his channel either.

As Zalladi said though, you didn’t miss anything. It was more frustrating to watch than anything, because the interviewer obviously hadn’t played GW2 since launch.

I just hope each profession gets more than one… Otherwise it’s not really a specialization — it’s just a maxed out base profession.

Based on what we’ve seen so far? Yes.

I get that they wanted 3 light/3 medium/3 heavy, but as someone who loved the original ritualist, I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed that the likelihood of us ever getting them is now pretty much non-existent.

Still, it sounds like a fun profession.

Will we be getting new game content before the expansion?

Is there more than one specialization for each profession?

Thousands of lives are in danger and we’re supposed to be more concerned with the ego of a tween? Taimi is my favourite LS character, but there are more important things than her pride.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

Not everything can be acquired in a way you like, that’s how an MMO works. It has to please EVERYONE, not only YOU.

This seems like a contradictory statement… Pleasing EVERYONE could be achieved by making items obtainable by more than one way! Anet obviously sees this to some extent… See the PvP reward tracks: rewarding PVE dungeon rewards to sPVP players.

I’m luckily not getting stuck as much because I’m mainly key farming, so I’m in and out of personal story instances which you can’t get stuck in… if you get the 7:11:3:191:101 error while loading into one(or while playing in one), you just get bumped to the zone you entered it from when you re-log. But the frequency it is happening is so annoying… As is how long it’s been affecting me — it’s been a week now.

Someone mentioned the white tanooki suit, and I hope Anet is listening! This would be a great way to monetize the players that find the story instances too hard. Sell single-use white quaggan suits that can only be used in single-player story instances.

ISP: Bell Aliant
Region: Halifax, Nova Scotia(Canada)
Server: Crystal Desert
I can’t login with my character who was zoning into Wayfarer Foothills from Hoelbrak. I am able to login with other characters — ones in Malchor’s Leap and Lion’s Arch seem fine.

I had some weird messages in-game a few hours ago about my connection to the login server, but it wasn’t a big deal. Now I’m getting this message every time I try to login.

I don’t think anyone at Anet as confirmed that they will be… But I’m betting they will. They want LS content to be permanent.

I wish I could sell you the one I have. I don’t like any of the skins :P

DoctorOverlord.8620:

PvE content in videos games is about learning to jump through the right hoops at the right time. I don’t consider that either skill or tactics, it’s just a timesink. I can understand a sub-based game using that kind of mechanics, it’s needless in a B2P game like GW2.

A timesink? Really? It’s a 10-15 minute long encounter.

Evil Subscription MMO Developer: “I know how we can make people waste their time so they have to sub longer!!! Every 2 weeks, we’ll add a fight that takes 15 minutes! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!”

TheMaskedGamer.5708:

So making new character slots isn’t so profitable anymore? 800 Gems vs the 350 gems of a makeover kit is a BIG difference. I don’t mind Kits, cause people will keep buying them no matter what. Everyone will want to change the character’s appearance constantly, but its not fair that these new option are only available there. New characters, made with new slots, should have them available to them as well.

I am failing to see how it isn’t fair.

Farzo.8410:

Those wings are extremely ugly.

Can’t understand why people wants to run around with them.

I know. I wish I could sell mine :P

I wouldn’t mind dragging around Trahearne in an effort to get him killed.

lol, poor Trahearne. The man’s the most hated being in all of Tyria, and his only sin is not being a kitten.

And the terrible voice acting.. when he talks he just sucks all the atmosphere out of the moment.

This is a problem pretty much during the whole PS. I would blame whoever directed it, rather than the voice-actors/actresses.

Hmm…I don’t know, some VA WAS pretty terrible and done by people who obviously lacked the ability to voice action so I can’t really blame it all on one person.

Though nothing, not even Trahearne has managed to top the atrocity that is Factions VA.

I still have nightmares about Danika shudders

I’m sure some of it is down to using amateur VAs, but some of the performances from pretty well-regarded VAs is surprisingly bad… at least to me. Marjory for example sounds so forced, despite Sumalee Montano being a pretty great VA. It’s like she was told to make her voice too low or something. It’s a shame, because I think I’d like Marjory a lot more if I didn’t cringe every time she spoke.

If this were the case, the Pact probably told us already… like they told us about Mordremoth. It just happened off camera.

This means that the Pact and my character know the name of the deep sea dragon as well. So what is it? Why isn’t it mentioned anywhere in the game? Is there a way I can ask my character what it knows? Maybe send mail to the Pact to ask them to repeat all the secrets they told me off camera a year and a half ago? No?

Along with Rox, Taimi is the only biconic I want to keep around.

It was an annoying fight. Marj and Kas bugged out on me shortly after the fight started… And I didn’t notice a set pattern for minion spawns — at several points during the fight I swear there was more than one spawned. I just sat near a single spawn point and babysat that minion rather than running all over the place. It took a while, but it worked for me.

Fortus.6175:

Personally I dont understand why some people dont like her, I can assure you they are very few compared to the amount of people that *do like her.*

How? Based on what data?

Halcyon.7352:

Did they really nerf the offshoot harvest drops? I remember getting 12-15 easily from a single node.

It’s not even that hard to get 20 at any rate – toxic event champions and vets anywhere in the world drop a node that, with luck and +gathering effects, can be harvested more than once.

I started doing the events within minutes of the patch going live, and the most I ever got was 7 from one of the offshoots.

The more Scarlet we get, the sooner her arc concludes.

Petra and her Dad should be investigating the new Krait menace instead of Kasmeer and Jory. That way players won’t feel intimidated.

DarksunG.9537:

I don’t understand why the female version is like.. strips of cloth or something.. got all these bands on it.

Yeah, I’m not even sure what that is supposed to be. It looks like braided rope, or a cable-knit sweater.

I am really disappointed in the Phalanx set on female characters. When I saw the preview on the website, I was excited! It only showed the male version, but it looked amazing and I assumed the female version would be… well, a version of that armor set designed to fit on a female. Instead we got something completely different.

I have no problem with revealing armor on either gender. I don’t even think the Phalanx armor looks that bad on female characters… I just think the male version looks amazing, and a feminized version of the male set would’ve been perfect for my female guardian.

I quite like them, though I wish the female heavy armor looked as good as the male. Instead, they made it into a platemail mini dress with thigh high heels.

I’m in game right now, and they don’t seem to be in the gemstore yet.

I think assuming that people only disagree with you due to their own ignorance is the height of arrogance. Whether a villain is “good” or not it subjective.

To me, Scarlet is a cliche right out of the cartoons I watched in the 80s/90s. She giggles maniacally while telling us how sadistic and cruel and chaotic she is. And yet this clearly mentally unstable person is capable of amassing an endless army to serve her every whim. She wouldn’t be out of place on He-Man, or the old 60s Batman TV show.

It’s most likely Scarlet.

The connection between this, and Twilight Arbor/The Nightmare Court seems obvious, and is confirmed in the preview at gw2hub. And who was just in TA messing about? Scarlet.

I noticed the counter didn’t progress when I joined a game that was in progress. If I was there when the match started, it worked. I haven’t played it in a few days though.

Changes like this make me so very happy I hope they continue to foreshadow upcoming patches using stuff like this.
