Guild Wars 2

It was really very obvious, that she would backstep us this time. Even some month ago it was clear, that at some point in the future, since Scarlet tould us, she has a dark secret. But well, at leeast you can say, that since our PC has fought so often with her against different enemies, it is a bit understandable to trust her, even if she acts wiered.
But there are much more problems with dumb decisions in this episode. The first one is quite obvious: Why the hell is the PC running around and telling both groupes, that there is a dragon egg? Both gruopes where out in the open camp, surrounded by a ton of random NPCs. If it is a secret go and tell them in a closed building, or in the wild, where noone else is.
The second big problem: Why the hell is Caithe so dumb? She waits until the final fight is over to steal the egg. These kind of things should be done while we’re fighting. But well, you couldn’t make a small cutscene in that case… And she should try harder to hide her backstabbing plans next time. It was too obvious. But well, since the other charakters are dumb enough….
The third problem: After seeing Caithe backstabbing you our PC acts really dumb in saying, that Caithe might be helping… Just… wow… And even if the story would go this way, there is absolutely no excuse to think that in this moment.

I got an exo helmet (looked like googles).

The three times I collected the chests they were at the same place all the time. But I was doing some story stuff in between, so it might have been on different servers.

Use your ctrl key to show objects. They are a bit hidden, but one is extremely easy to find directly at the quicksand lake. And with ctrl+running around the sandstorm area it’s very easy to find at least 4-5 without too big of a deal.

I love this update. The story is told much better than in S1 and in a few missions you can try to interact with different things and being rewarded with a couple of text lines/voice lines. The mission achievements are interesting and require more than simple DPS as normally.
The zone is ok. I’m not a huge fan of it, but that’s mostly because I don’t like jumping around too much. But still some nice ideas.
The only real problem I have with this update are someof the zone achievements. The coin collection is nearly the same as the crystal collection in the sanctum. And again a JP+diving…

Do you use Avast Anti Virus? Since the last Virus data update it thinks, something in the GW2 TP might be a virus and blocks/deepsearch it.

It would help if we had as much detail as possible regarding this bug so that we can relay that information to the team.

Here you go:
Right after updating the client I went to Eternal Battlegrounds and a few minutes later to Edge of the Mist: No problems at all.
Then I went killing the Harathi world boss Modnir. From there the problems started: I went to Frostgorge and got a first DC after I touched a banner. I was thrown to the char select. On Login the loading screens of Harathi and frostgourge mixed and I got to see both. Every 2 seconds it changed and took quite some time to load. I was in Harathi, without the loot of Modnir, but with the loot of his minions.
Then back to Frostgorge: Instant DC on entering the map. Game wasn’t loading char selection. After loging in back, (was now in Frostgorge) I tried queensdale just to get the same problems again. Then I closed the client and now I’m waiting
Sorry for the long text, but you asked for it :p

6 DC+rollback in frostgorge Sound, Harathi and queensdale… (EU)

So… I’ve been stuck since patch day. Do I get a free precursor for this? Lol

Nothing resets and it made me realize on how much time gated content there is in this game for rewards, which is nearly everything.

yeah this is ridiculous, I can’t believe it’s not top priority to fix… it’s taken so long and they fixed things I’ve never even seen people complain about; and then there’s this.

I think it is top priority. But keep in mind, that it is easter and the devs are at home with their familys and for most people the problem started at friday, only a few (including me) reported this bug already on thursday/wednesday. I guess, when easter is over, it will get fixed asap.

Day 5 for me…
Well, really strange, yesterday it suddenly woked for me, without any reason. Today bugged again and I did nothing special on both days. I really hope it will get fixed in the next few days.

2nd day now with no daily rewards like Boss chests, daily ach chest and so on.

"
Waypoints—All contestable waypoints on any map you’re not currently playing in will always appear contested. When you arrive in the map, you will be able to travel to these waypoints pending their local status.
"

Same problem here.
I was on a megaserver at reset and it took several minutes of 0:00 remaining until it resetted the dailys. But it was just resettet to 3/5. No chest at 5/5 and no Chests from bosses and so on.

Bugged on Riverside and SFR as well.

You need to change your clothing into the new one by visiting one of those NPCs near the ones that normaly trade tickets for weapon skins near the BLC Traders.
They will automaticly detect your equipped stuff. Then they give you the new versions.
As an example:

Same happened to main server and an overflow server. And a lot of people don’t even get any loot from those three bosses, even when staying all the time at one boss.

My theorie would be: Whatever Scarlet is doing between this and next patch will affect the Tengu, they realize, that Scarlet is an enemy and help the other races. After that, they become part of the playable races and help defeating the next enemies.

But I would prefer, that we begin a war against them after Scarlet is dead/LA is dead and bring dead to those birds.

That’s not true. Here is, what is the real thing:
Everyone is still wondering, where Scarlet has all the money and stuff from, to make such big attacks:
The reason is, that Evon is funding her, since he lost the election, because he is very angry. (Before the vote, the attacks were way smaller) Therefore: The reason for LA being destroyed is Evon hates democracy and want to kill Ellen!

Hmm, seems like everything is dead now. Really sad :/

First of all: There is a lot of stuff, that will come back: Halloween, Wintersday, SAB, Jubilee and according to an interview perhaps even the sanctum. At least in SAB you have the chance to do the missing achievements from the last relase now. I would guess, that this might happen to the other things too, just with a few additional stuff.

Temporary dungeons might come back as fractals and since the last patches they added more and more stuff that stays ingame: Tequatl/World Boss tweaks, Ascended Weapons, Scarlet Invasions and so on.

Arenanet decided to do it this way and we all know it since several month.
And why should a little bit of extra XP/Karma/MF really give an unfair advantage? they don’t give you more fighting stats and at least MF is much easier to get by salvaging blue/greens/ectos, than by farming AP. And Karma+XP doesn’t really matter, cause you get both more then enough and a few % difference aren’t game changing.

Of course it is always sad, if you miss an event (that actually happened to me twice), but you can still read what was going on and catch up with the story.

You don’t really need afk/trolling/dcing people. Even if you are on the turret and want to do it right and press 2 with teq in target it sometimes doesn’t work because of skill lags. I was like 2 minutes on the turret and I was only able to clear 2 stacks in that time because of skill lag+12 sec cd. Then I wentoff it, because I hoped other people would have less lag, but teq still had all the time his stacks and many people on the turrets had those problems…
(was on overflow)

I hope, that this doesn’t mean, every boss will take 10+minutes as Claw now… Cause then the rewards are way too bad.
But better chests and then 10+ minutes cause of new mechanics (and not only more HP) would be awesome.

And then all the zerkers will be dead and non Zerkers have to ress them…
“Oh, you’re alive?! Report!”

First of all: No, it’s definitly not “impossible”.
Slow yourself down and just look at the things one or two minutes and you can see, where the traps are and how to awoid them in all of the rooms in w2z2.
And if you really can’t do it at all: Just use easy mode, that’s the reason, why it’s there. In that mode you can do all things the same way as in normal mode, but you can skip too hard areas.

This is a bug we are trying to track down. Do you happen to know what your audio settings are at?

Since I also have the bug, that sometimes (around 80% of all times) I have no bgm in w1z1, here are my settings. Btw, I never had such issues before and all other maps and zones are working without a problem. And fighting/jumping sounds still works.
I’m playing with windows 7 standart audio drivers.

Scizzor.8137:

World 2 zone 2. Wtf is this. Not sure I even made it half way. Random darts killing me. The room with the box you have to push and jump over 2 dart areas… -.- Soooo cheap. Wouldn’t be as bad if you could tell where the darts were. But you cannot. So basically, you instantly lose a life unless you have done it before. Multiply that by the amount of hidden dart areas in Zone 2 and you lose at least 8 lives your first run through……

You can tell,. where the darts are. there are small boxes on things with darts. Just wath carefully, where you go.

Hm, I don’t really know, how I feel abou w2 z1-2…
First of all: I had a lot of fun, even when I failed several times. The only really unfair thing was those water things in z1. They seemed a bit buggy, cause no matter what I did, they teleported me to strange locations and even when timed correctly sometimes the just throw you back.
Well after that Z1 was really nice.
Z2 is my favourite zone so far. I really love the zone and espacialy the “shortcut-minigame” in it. Really awesome.
I also loved the fight against the stronger assassin and the item reminds me of Zelda…
Well, after W2 Z1-2 I have two things to say, that are a bit too easy: First of all the two zone bosses. They aren’t really harder, just mor time consuming. There are too many easy safe spots, where you can just walk back and forward to kill it, without getting in trouble. the Z2 is a bit harder cause of the ice, but the same tactik works here as well, you only need to dodge sometimes, if you are too slow.
Managed to kill both bosses first try :/
Second thing, that is too easy: the random teleport platforms in Z2 you can avoid any combat and the teleport pattern is really simple.

Well, as I said I love the world so far, but I can understand the people who are complaing about w2z1 as being a big leap of difficulty.
But I think we should all keep in mind, that the SAB is there one month and once you managed to get through the zones, it is much easier the next time, cause you know how to do it exactly.
I really hope, World 2 keeps it difficulty and only the water thingi in z1 gets fixed. Cause the assassin zone is too awesome to get nerfed <3

Main at center didn’t work, twink worked. But really strange and I hope this thing won’t come too often or will be fixed.

On my first Match suddenly 2 players were portet together into one of the chambers together with two bosses (both the same).
After the bosses killed us thanks to double teaming tornados(^^) one player was portet out, after survivbing downed state, I was still stucked in the arena and waited for over 5 minutes, but nothing happened^^
Why I post this here? If someone has the same problem: porting into sPVP and then porting out fix the problem.

In the livestream they said, that one part of this event is, that the humans want to show, how powerful they still are, so I don`t think, they would ask other races for their support.

I personaly love this fight. One of the few times in GW2 where you really need a tactic to win the thing and not just brain-afk press some keys to win a dungeon.
And yes, it scales a little too heavy, but still it’s doable, if everyone in the team knows how to avoid damage and deal damage in the the time.
And if you have some problems with T4 just try 4-5 T3 runs and figure out, where to stand, where to hide if needed and what time you need more damage. All of these things can be already figured out in T3.

Then why even tie it to an achievement (which noone can even see that you completed it) if you want only a small number to get it?

You could ask the same about the 2500 points from the hunger games thing.

Suddenly English/German/Polish Map chat mixed <3
So epic… ANet, this is the best feature: All servers vs alls ervers vs all servers. We even fight against our own server members <3

MAKE IT PERMANENT!!!! I AM BEGGING YOU, ON MY KNEES

Nothing more to add. Best thing I’ve ever seen in a MMORPG, please expand on it and please make it permanent, or at least to come back every third/fourth month <3

Awsome job, reminds me in those old commercials for video and normal games. You really have some crazy guys. In fact, this whole Patch is the best patch, I have ever seen in any MMORPG so far and I’m playing them since 12 years.

I don’t see the problem. Until now, WvW players played it for the fun and it will be fun after this patch as well. For me in personal even more, because of the end of culling+client lags. This progression is just a little bonus and can help a bit.
And It isn’t too hard. I achieved around 14k Wexp within 3 hours of playing and those three hours weren’t even really 100% serious play and with.

I really love the new options. Before the Patch, huge fights only had around 2-5 fps for me and I saw nearly no other players.
Now I can see, where the players are and how many and I had nearly no lags. Only in a extremely huge fight with all 3 main zergs I had “only” 15 fps :D
Thank you Arena Net!
