Guild Wars 2

Even if they don’t look at all the specific crash reports people are sending, at the very least, maybe the sudden influx of crash reports will catch someone’s attention at ANET.

“Hey, what’s going on? We’re seeing a 50% rise in crash report submissions in the last month…”

khani.4786:

I had more crashes yesterday alone than I’d had in the entire three years before HoT launched. So frustrating. Sent the report in every time it crashed.

Sometimes I was just walking around in LA. Sometimes mid event. Sometimes I just pulled up the map or inventory or guild panel. There’s no rhyme or reason to the crashes and it is incredibly frustrating.

Same experience here. I’ve crashed more in the past week than I have since beta. I could be just standing in an isolated area and the client would crash.

Been submitting all the crash reports, hope ANET can get the game more stable like it was prior to HoT.

Funny these ME reference threads are popping up. I was telling my guildmates during LS1 where I thought the Living Story was headed:

- Dragon Wakes up
- We get to choose an option of Blue, Green, Red to save the world
- Someone dies (I guess LS2 confirmed someone of authority will… lol)
- Dragon is defeated
- All waypoints blow up
.

To accommodate the loss of waypoints for traveling………….ANET introduces MOUNTS (like so many out there wanted).

We need it so much for our mesmers!

This. So much so! Personally, I find mesmer appropriate attire somewhat lacking in the game. I ran with the Heritage armor set for my mesmer for the longest time but getting a little bored of it.

The actual items are soulbound but when you purchased them from the vendor it would’ve unlocked the skins in your account wardrobe. Did you check the wardrobe to transmute the skin?

Is it just me or is the new harvesting sickle slower than the original consortium sickle? Could be just the animation of the character kneeling down that’s throwing me of…

They halo would go great with the new zodiac armour. I want to try to get the selfless potion, but running around collecting the 250 heirlooms is kind of annoying and anything but selfless. When I was doing that last night, I felt bad for not helping out LA with the events. =(

It’ll be a new Searing. First Ascalon, now Lion’s Arch! =P

Symi.3785:

I would like to second what she wants and add my two cents in about hair styles. Do you think it’s possible to make those trinkets on them an optional thing? I /love/ the new hair styles but because of the flower or the pins, they don’t suit my characters very well. It would also be really nice to have a norn-length hairstyle for human women. <3

There seems to have been a number of posts regarding this – and I’d like to add my name to those in favour of having those flowers, pins, hair accessories as an option. I love the long wavey hair, but that flower on the side just doesn’t look right any of my female characters (maybe except an elementalist). If only there was a way to toggle that on and off, or at least have an option to not have the flower during hair customization.

Hope ANET will hear this and take it into consideration!

Found one in Plains of Ashford, slightly NW of the wall.

And yes, I touched it. =P

And of course someone rich buys up all the exotic minis and prices inflate by 80-100g (as of this post)… a few of them completely sold out already too. <_<

Edit: got my gem store issues resolved with customer support.

Hawk.3574:

Which achievement would they count towards, if they did make them count, Miniature Collection—Set I or II as there is now 2 different achievements for year 1 minis and year 2.

Ah, that’s something new then, didn’t notice it. Last I checked it was just one general achievement for mini collection, it wasn’t distinguished between Set 1 or 2. But looks like only Set 1 gives you the Mini Collector title.

Donari.5237:

There being some special minis that can never be gotten again (afaik), how would new players have any chance at the achievement? Unless it’s quantitative, as in, “Collect X number of Specials.”

The original achievement was to collect 54 minis (out of a total of 55). The suggestion was to have the special minis count towards that total. New players could’ve got minis from new achievements, gem store, or set 2 to help with the total mini collection. But it looks like ANET decided to split the achievements into Set 1 and Set 2 (which I didn’t realize), so I guess this suggestion is not going to work.

Since ANET is ending Set 1 mini sales in October, how will new players get those minis other than through the TP at insane prices?

^ yes, that’s a good point. But I still think the special minis should count towards the overall achievement, minis are minis! And I’m sure the hardcore collectors will still buy up the regular minis whether there’s an achievement or not. I know I would when I have some extra gems and feel like splurging a bit.

But that’s my opinion anyway and pretty sure I’m not alone in thinking this way.

I don’t think just because they are account bound or earned through achievements that they should be discounted from the achievement. At the end of the day, they are still minis and collectibles. Heck, the limited / special minis cost more than the standard 3-mini packs. In the TP.

I can understand from a financial point of view that it may be a good source of income generation as interested collectors would buy multiple packs, but people could be buying the minis off the TP without spending any gems at all, whereas you can’t with the limited edition minis.

Yes, the special minis have their own tab, but they are still minis that we earn and/or pay gems for, so I don’t know why they can’t be calculated into the overall mini collection.

I’m sure there are others that may have posted this before, but I couldn’t find it in the search.

But ANET, what was the reason behind not including special minis as part of the mini Collector total for the achievement?

Can minis also be separated from regular collectible a (materials) when we click on Deposit All Collectibles in the bag options? It’s rather annoying to have to go back to the bank all the time just to get a mini out. Yes, we can use invisible bags, but it’d be nice if we didn’t have to resort to using it if we don’t have to., or just for this sole purpose of keeping a mini safe.

Cheers!

If the zerk stacks near the centre island, both north/south turrets can get them. But most zerks I’ve seen stack near the right leg which puts them out of reach of the northern turrets. I’m usually on a northern turret or defense, so not too sure why the main zerk group prefer that leg over the other (or centre).

It may be silly, but I find “bunny hopping” as the wave is coming towards you to be fairly helpful. Even got 2-3 achievement ticks per wave sometimes and got the full tiered achievement rather quickly.

Had sent an in-game mail, but it probably didn’t reach its destination. Can i get an invite too?

Noooooo… I was stuck in overflow. =*(

Edit: Congrats though guys, very well deserved! It was awesome watching our progression from the beginning. =)

SkylightMoon.1980:

crystl desert just got him to 7%!!!!! that was after our previous run at 50%!!!! LETS DO THIS CD!!!

So close… hope we can get him tonight!

So with the new Tequatl mechanics and more world boss re-work to come, will ANet put more work into developing Commander tools for PvE? They mentioned before that they would look at a “PvE Commander” or equivalent though nothing was set in stone. It’d be nice (and useful) if (capable) Commanders have more functionality on PvE maps other than “follow my blue hat”.

Many people are organizing themselves for Tequatl, PvE Commander tools would be helpful (and for future PvE world content as well). There was another thread which suggested different colours for Commander icons, that’d be helpful too.

Anyone see any mention lately from the devs about PvE Commanders or if any devs are reading this can chime in?

When I checked this morning, there were at least 6-7 people above me with orders of 700-800g. It’s odd that all of a sudden 10 or so orders of Dusk were suddenly fufilled (my purchase order sat there for 2-3 weeks).

I thought I missed some sort of announcement that precursors are now able to be crafted.

So my order of Dusk for 600g was fufilled. This morning there were a number of Dusk order from 600-800g, but it seems like they were all getting fufilled. Now it’s sitting around 512g though people are still listing sales at around 800g.

Whoever was going around fufilling the buy orders, thank you! Now I can finally finish Twilight!

Waldir.2571:

That would have SUCKED if you had made it in order to sell it. Be careful out there people lol

Or worse, soulbound it on a character that couldn’t equip it?!

(Unless you can’t set stats on legendariea you can’t use).

Leablo.2651:

Phalanix.7542:

I’m surprised not more people have voiced this nor any reponses from devs.

Why would more people voice it if it isn’t happening to them?

The first response in this thread is from a dev.

0/10

I was just referring to the fact that this seem to be only occurring to a limited amount of people and that there hasn’t been any updates from the devs since the initial response.

Anyway, checked again yesterday and one of my fully upgraded characters got all the items again. Though other characters with upgrades still have a stick. Oh well.

I’m having the same issue – the upgrades on my characters from the previous SAB are not showing up. All I have is the default stick on all characters. =( I’m surprised not more people have voiced this nor any reponses from devs.

Funny thing is, during the last SAB I told my guildmates that if you put in the code on the keyboard during the beginning cutscene, they’ll start off with 99 lives.

Some actually believed me (then b*tched when it didn’t work).

LOL

Crafting Twilight, just missing Dusk to complete it. Hate risking it at the forge, but with the Dusk price going up to an unreasonable amount, it may come to gambling with the RNG gods. >_<’

Can’t wait for ANET to announce some info on crafting precursors…

Trying to craft Twilight… Dusk is all I have left to acquire.

This certainly is depressing – I was hoping to save up for it as RNG has never been on my side. Might have to risk it at the MF now. =\

I wonder why Dusk’s availability dropped so much? Dawn hasn’t changed much.

Can’t wait for ANET to provide more info on the crafting if precursors rather than gambling money away at the forge.

This is a great idea for smaller guilds and players who prefers to play in a more close-knit group. Personally, I have no interest in joining a larger guild nor leaving my current guild after putting so much Influence Points into it building it up since launch.

Bovinity.8610:

And that’s why it was not fun nor challenging!

Yes, but from a design perspective it’s unfair to blame the Liadri fight for all the other things that went on in the area. We have to look at them separately.

It’s like having a great meal at a restaurant, but then saying the food sucked because your waiter was rude.

The rude waiter would definitely have ruined the evening’s experience though; I wouldn’t have said the food sucked because of it. The external factors are part of the overall experience, basically that’s what I was saying in my post.

Bovinity.8610:

Was it fun or challenging? No.

To be fair…all the bad things about the fight really had nothing to do with the fight itself being fun or challenging. They’re all external factors that should have been weeded out in testing – something that ANet has a serious issue with.

And that’s why it was not fun nor challenging!

Before beating Liadri, she made me want to curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep.
After beating Liadri, she made me want to curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep (tears of joy).

After roughly 50 tries (betwen my Mesmer and Engineer), I finally beat her last night with my Mesmer. I had to switch my usual PvE build to Shatter for more DPS and take her down quickly in Phase 2. This is one of those fights where one mistake could cost you everything, the longer you’re in the fight, the more chances you have at making a mistake (or the timer running out).

Mesmer
Traits – 10/10/0/0/30
Domination: Mental Torment, GS Training
Dueling: Phantasmal Fury, Deceptive Evasion
Illusions: Compounding Power, Illusionary Invigoration, Illusionary Persona

Skills – Ether Feast, Mantra of Resolve, Blink, Hounds of Balthazar

Weapons: Bonetti’s Rapier/Aetherized Pistol of Earth and Great Sword (all berserker stats) – the focus didn’t work out so well for me as my timing was pretty bad at deploying the Warden. lol

CoF Berserker gear, mixed ascended trinkets, cavalier and soldier accessories (for some toughness) with berserker jewel components.

Opinion:
I didn’t enjoy this fight at all – definitely the camera and the dome was an issue, and the lack of visibility of the AoE circle was another. This is probably the main gripes that people have with this fight – I didn’t experience any lag though. The one-shot mechanic was really cheap, especially with the above limitations. The timer was also a bit of an insult to injury. That said, it did feel really satisfying after I finally beat her, just like Mad King’s Clocktower – though I actually found the Clocktower more challenging. That actually took skill into consideration rather than relying on (some) luck. There is a pattern to Liadri, but the rift spawn locations are random – sometimes they pull you away from danger and sometimes into danger; the illusions run at you weirdly and sometimes don’t hit the white circles correctly; sometimes they explode on contact and other times there’s a slight delay, etc.

Adding to the list of “complaints”, soulbound gauntlet tickets, having to farm or pay sprockets + 20 silver if needed more, repair bills, waypoint bills if people don’t res you, being dead when you come out of the gauntlet, having to wait for the gauntlet queue (which is buggy), running to the gauntlet from the WP, etc. All of these things took away the fun factor of this event. I hope ANET takes these things into consideration in future mini-games/events – also hope they’ll ease off with so many one-shot mechanics and perma-stun/down (like the T1 whirlwind boss).

Is Liadri do-able? Yes, as all the people in this thread can attest to. Was it fun or challenging? No.

Yes, you can dodge and use invulnerability skills.

Get her shadows to walk into the white circles. They’ll be destroyed and drop an orb. You need to toss 3 orbs at Liadri to remove her immunity. Check Dulfy’s site.

I think it was due to the patch that just came out / server restart?

Got the 2nd Achievement Chest today (500 points), in it was a PvP Rewards Chest. When I opened that, it gave me a mix of different armours, heavy, medium, light but they’re all listed as soulbound. Shouldn’t these items be account bound? I haven’t done PvP much (if at all), so what good would these heavy and medium armors do for me since my main is a Mesmer? =|

This is happening to me as well, I thought I was at the wrong NPC, but he keeps talking about the Sanctum Race. But everytime I go in, it takes me to the new PvP arena. o_O

Anyone else feel that you’re losing target lock much more easily since the recent patch? It seems almost as if the target would drop at random sometimes while trying to perform a skill, action. I’m definitely not hitting ‘next target’ or left clicking on terrain (though I do that by accident sometimes).

I thought it was just me, but a number of my friends and guildmates have indicated they’re seeing an increase at target loss as well recently. This is really annoying in mobbed fights, especially when you try to pop a skill and find out that you’ve lost target lock and have to wait for the skill to cool down.

Maybe there’s another thread about this somewhere, but my search didn’t come up with anything.

I have autotargeting disabled and promote skill target enabled; been set this way since I first started playing.

Also check WvW maps, maybe you missed a point somewhere. I noticed that when I was just missing one POI in WvW one of my character’s map status said 100% when it wasn’t.

Also, check the Cantry of Secrets again, as someone mentioned above.

If you didn’t know, you can view the map and hover your mose over each zone name and see the completion status of that zone without having to port there.

Had the same problem but I got the achievement today. Based on another thread I saw, I tried the following:

- Command pet to attack a target (F1)
- Let it die
- As the pet was coming back to me, hit F4 to swap pet

Once I swapped the pet, I got the achievement. Hope this helps!

Still getting this tonight, ping tests are fine, speed tests are fine as well.

Odd thing is, it is happening to me (so far) only in Southsun Cove when running with the zerg between instigators.

When I’m in an overflow server, however,I didn’t get any disconnect or lag, it played like normal. Once I got the prompt to go back to my own server, I got disconnected with this error code just as I joined in on a zerg.

/clientport 80 – seemed to have helped a bit, though I’ve been playing since the beta and never had to use this command switch. Still getting disconnected, however.

Gonna go try guesting on another server and see what happens.

Home Server: Crystal Desert

Getting this too after the latest patch! Only at Southsun Cove, Instigator zergs, and it lags out and disconnects me every couple of minutes..

MauricioCezar.2673:

Bt the way.. WHY IN THE HELL I’m MINING PLANTS? seriously, It dissapoints me. THe animation its the same of the mining picks, why? I’ll destroy the plants this way =|

Yeah, I thought the animation for this was rather odd too. LOL

Would be nice if the water would rise a little higher similar to the molten pick axe though.

Our guild might fit what you’re looking for.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Eternal-Sonata-Crystal-Desert-Looking-for-members/

Shoot me a PM if you’re interested.

Just posting to say we are still very much active. Just about daily dungeon and Fractal runs. 24hr +10% Magic Find upkeep.

If you’re interested in playing with a close-knit group of players, shoot me a message / mail in-game.

Guild name change would be nice too.

Anyon know if the Quaggan backpack can be applied to an account bound backpiece (such as the Toy Maker’s backpack) so the Quaggan backpack can remain account bound instead of soulbound?

Or if the Quaggan backpack can be applied to any backpiece to make them account bound?
