Guild Wars 2

31 here and enjoying the game since it does not feel like second job, which is what tends to happen in most other MMOs i have played/tried.

Just started to happen to me, 2 times in a row lag spike and then “The game client lost its connection to the server” message, but i get booted only to the character selection screen -.-’

Kind of weird since my internet connection is fine, and even the connection to the character select works fine…

Well you can always convert gold to gems for the people that dont mind supporting the developers…

@Brigandier

You completely missed the point O.o The thread isn’t about comparing the greatsword or other weapon sets, it’s about how Leap of Faith misses on uneven ground.

-

The problem is with these skills is that they don’t have a dynamic trajectory. These skills should essentially make your body act as projectile with a dynamic trajectory towards your target like an arrow.

Anet gave these leap skills static trajectories to limit the distance they could travel vertically. Imagine people aiming leap skills vertically to jump over objects and walls. This can be prevented by providing no movement to the character if nothing’s targeted, like teleports do.

Anyway, all the leap skills need to be reworked, because the current implementation is limiting and frustrating, but I understand how it isn’t a simple fix.

This is exactly the problem, i am always targeting something when using the skill- tend to use it as a gap closer, however the whole random 1 of 10 hitting actual target is just plain wrong. IMO the skill atm is bugged on the Hit part.

Here is a screenshot of a griffin going invulnerable on me without a reason whatsoever- as you can see we are on same ground level and everything, guess he just got bored or something.

Went there to mine that ore, get attacked start fighting and then poof he is invulnerable… Please Fix this stuff from happening.

Tbh the thief steal is really not that complicated to memorize once you see all of the “stolen skills”. I use it all the time since i even traited for poison on steal

Let me elaborate- each skill has unique icon bound to it, and there are really not that many possible skills you can steal- i am pretty sure that there are not even 10 of them.

However the idea of yours is not bad and would be something like quality of life improvement.

Really? Because I’m positive I’ve seen the same icon used for multiple skills before….

Only same icon i ever saw used for different skills is the scepter one- it tends to be either the lightning leash/flame burst/fire ball- all other skills have unique icons (i am about 99% sure of this- have lvl 80 thief and as stated use steal all the time)

Well i would say that it is not only in orr, but it gets more visible there since the shear amount of enemys around. Overall respawn timers seems to be quite 2fast in some places.

After a while of not playing my guardian i went back to it and now it feels like leap of faith literally depends on faith -.-’

It feels like 1 out of 10 of those end as hit- i miss it even when trying to hit the rabbit critters, has any1 else notice this? (Just to point out that i am talking about PvE, and i am in range of the target every time)

The skill seems to just miss way 2much lately…

Same thing- must be the legs on the norn cultural set, since the issue started once i equipped those -.-’

Also there is the hair issue on random occasion.

As title sas, the vendor is for second week in a row not standing where he should be and is most time dead- you can see which one i am talking about and his location on a screenshot below.

Edit: server- ring of fire.

Transmutation not visually displaying on character during game play. It does show normally on character creation screen. (it was visible at the time it was not transmuted)

I am experiencing the same thing with my thief, using pistol/dagger and sometimes when i go stealth for a second with the No5 skill to shoot the mob like 1 sec latter i find the mob to be invulnerable heading away healing full and getting berserk on my kitten right after that.

The issue tends to show up in PvE situations when there are a lot of people/npcs around to, sometimes in orr (temple battles usually) everything is fine but then suddenly all people/npc just go invisible.

But it is almost all the time in WvWvW. Had the issue before, but escalated after the last patch.

zbrkesbr.4173:

You get banner after graduating from “novice” and that is after lvl37 (or 39 quest)
after you successfully return dragon blood sword to priory and be4 Orr invasion begins

Thanks for the answer, guess bit more playtime for my elementalist then ;D

IMO it is legendary farm fest with stupid RNG option added to it in game that limits your farming options, so have to say: TY but NO TY to legendary.

It is quite a problem with pet running around, i work around it with stowing the pet away usually until fighting something.

P.S. Using a raven so i honestly was like WTF the first time… Y U NO FLY DOWN U STUPID BIRD -.-’

As title sas, after initiating into priory with my elementalist (saw the welcome animation, even did first quest) there is no banner unlocked.

Not sure if it is a bug or if it is simply missleading on description, but i got my vigil and order banners right on those steps.

Oh and as you can see on the screenshot there is only a belly of my warrior showing instead of his head, issue started after using the norn cultural tier 2 pants.

Hmm there are plenty of posts about this so there is no point in more, arena net answered on it on few threads, the problem existed even before the last patch, it only escalated with last patch.

Razz in his new metal

Swagman.9013:

So you aren’t being barred from doing it. And you lie that you don’t mind putting in the work. You’re just being impatient and lazy.

So your answer to my valid objections is to personally attack me and say that i lie, and then add impatient and lazy… Internet, you have to love it, no better argument then lets go insult people.

Guess i am expecting to much from a gaming forum when i expect civilized behaving and discussion…

I am sorry to see so many people missing the main points in the whole thing…

1. Most parts of WvWvW maps are not accessible on many servers out of simple lack of map control, this promotes exploiting of server transfer to complete the achievement

2. PvE players taking up spots for WvWvW on many servers with over 1 hour queues and simply not contributing on the whole WvWvW front just roaming around trying to get one silly PoI or vista to get some achievement that has absolutely no connection to the whole WvWvW they are in atm…

I am simply confused by the amount of answers dont want it dont do it, and what are you afraid of since that has absolutely no sense at all…

Honestly i do not understand why there is no huge two hand axe in this game… One of the first mankind weapons that ever existed… My Norn warrior dreams about one while he sleeps (while i am logged out). Just patch it in

And the whole two hand weapon thing seems a bit weird in game atm- greatswords are HUGE, but hammers are tinny- i would like to suggest some scaling up on the hammer front since some of them look like they could not ram a nail in a wood and dont need two hands to wield em

I will say that IMO whole WvWvW has no place in world completion achievements and point you here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/WvW-from-100-Map-comletion-should-be-removed/first#post310428 to see few of the reasons why since i am not writing all that again ;D

Well here are my 2 cents on “personal” story,

The whole thing is really fun and enjoying untill the moment that friking tree guy (whose name i will not utter here) simply comes by and hijacks it.

Then there are no more orders, no more my warband, no more Logan or any other character that was involved and made the whole thing fun, its all about the undead and the tree guy…

The whole storyline becomes stale and boring and honestly i am still stuck on the temple of the old gods underwater quest simply lacking the motivation to find out more about my “personal” tree guy story -.-’

Dont need to be logged in to view, only comment, using firefox.

I agree totally and even made a post about it here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/WvW-from-100-Map-comletion-should-be-removed/first#post310428

The most troubling thing in this is that some parts of the map in WvWvW are almost always not accessible and i am supposed to waste my time sitting in WvW even thou i dont care about it…

Other choice is as some people that did the 100% world suggested is to jump servers and simply get the missing point in that way- atm i am still refusing to even consider that option, but i might change my mind…

Diviner.7405:

Just find a server that literally has the full map (there are servers like this) and just go get everything real quick and switch back later.

TBH dont think that exploiting should be the way to get anything done in any game, guess i will remain stuck on not getting map completion since i simply have 0 interest in doing WvW, which is by the way simply not even doable on lover/mid gaming rigs like mine, half the time i dont even see the people that are actually hitting me…

Was not expecting to see this many negative replys on the topic thou, guess its me then…

nachtnebel.9168:

By using the same logic all PvE Sets should be also purchasable via Badges of Honor instead of Dungeons Tokens.

I don’t think they should change anything, cause if everybody feels a little disappointed Arena Net did their job right.

Hmm i am sorry but gear obtainable by badges of honor is obtainable only by badges of honor same is with dungeon gear, and btw i do not see any connection between this and this topic…

Corian.4068:

On the one hand, I’ve always been opposed to PvE objectives in PvP play. In that, I do agree that the map completion stuff needs to be removed.

On the other hand, what in the world are you afraid of? It’s not like you die IRL if you lose at PvP. Gather up some friends and roam until you all get your exploration done.

Has nothing to do with fear, like i wrote i simply dont find it to be fun to PvP in a RPG game, IMO its more about how hard your class hits and not that much about skill… If i want to pvp i go play this: http://blacklight.perfectworld.com/

… and here is why:

I am mostly a PvE type of player, i do not “hate” PvP or anything but i just dont like to do it in a RPG kind of a game out of many reasons (which i will not utter here). I am quite sure there are few players around that feel the same.

The main point would be that it is called a World Map completion and WvW zones are technically not on the map, nor are they part of the actual World (beeing in Mists and all that).

My second point would be that since i do not play PvP or WvW and do not like/intend to play it i should not be punished for it by impossible Map completion… Some people, me included, simply have a little smallish problem with unfinished things and therefore they feel obligated to go do WvW.

Now that is not good for many reasons for any player- mostly some people actually want to do WvW and are trying hard to get something done, then here we come in the picture (after long queues on some worlds) and “we” the people that are there just for map completion- roam the map pointlessly around (pointlessly in pvp sense) in attempt to not get engaged into combat and just get our map completion…

Simple solution would be to exclude those maps from world map completion and put in WvW map completion some nice PvP kind of rewards (pretty sure most people would not mind that kind of compensation for WvW).

So thats my opinion at least, if You agree with it please do say so and add any other reason you feel should be sad, maybe we can make people at arena net aware of this “issue” at least, if You do not agree with my points please do elaborate why.

Thank you, i was there but did not think about talking to that guard

Where is the order of whispers armor/weapon vendor? I found the vigil and priory one but cant find the orders? Does it exist and where is it?

Instead of my warriors head on character select i can only see his “abbs”

Female guardian norn- you can see under the helm where there is half the head missing -.-’ The same is on the character selection screen.

Thief has issues with weapons clipping on legs- tbh during the whole leveling with any type of daggers/ swords/ pistols and all types of medium armor (i honestly dont think/remember that a single armor piece did not have issues with weapons clipping trough legs)

I just went into a region and tried to do few things but as it seems that is impossible atm. There were at least 4 running events stuck on a spot, few heart quests bugged out (there are no “quest” mobs that are required to do them at all).

This kind of stuff seems to happen quite often lately (bugging out of events in particular seems to be getting out of hand).

Razz SMASH ;P

Working fine now… All right Arena net who tripped over the cable? Just admit it we might forgive you ;P

Hmm cant say that i am having some extreme issues with finding the leather, there seem to be quite a few mobs dropping the salvage skin stuff around, try punching around few deers when walking around you might get surprised, and salvage all the medium armor drops.

Althou i do agree that there seems to be an awful lot off butter around in the loot bags and chocolate… mmmmmm chocolate

Edit: bigger problem for me are the inscriptions that require like 8 of those crazy vials of “whatever” blood and bones and other crap that drops like NEVER.

Still no word? Would be nice to know if its a bug or working as intended… not like we are asking much?

Same issue with my daggers, bloodlust and corruption do not stack

Bumping this up because i would like to know if that is working as intended or not?

Tbh the personal story quests do feel a bit out off balance with the amount off mobs we get bombarded, especially the squishy classes, and if you are doing them as soon as you hit the level recommended for it. I have started doing those in group with a friend and all i can say they are running much smoother in team (plus since he plays different race i get to see his story line and he gets to see mine ;D).

Tbh DLCs are not my thing, paying money for one extra instance is not that appealing and this game has lots to offer as it is atm. I am more interested in expansion type of content.

Well all i can say that thief is pretty squishy vs 2, however the problem is you using dual pistols- great for single target but pain when you get in vs 2 or more.

I would suggest you to try out sword/pistol combination vs multiple opponents- skill No.3 works miracles ;D short term stun+interrupt+AoE. Also short bow is quite as effective since auto attack hits 3 targets + yo get skill No.3 which cripples and has additional leap away from target (works like dodge) and kite away.

And when you are up vs 1 just switch weapon back to dual pistols. Give it a try you might like it

During this morning (its 9-10am where i live) in game maintenance i was unable to log in on the forums and/or my account page the whole time- all i got was “invalid password”???

Now that the game is up again, as you can see i can log in normally on my account and forums… Is this working as intended or am i missing something? Are we unable to use forums and/or account page during in game maintenance?

As a computer tech I can tell you right now that there are few things that might be the problem.

As few people have already mentioned the most probable cause is GPU about to die, how ever there are few other things:

There seems to be overall problem with nvidia cards/drivers & GW2 atm, what you could do is use driver sweeper to remove your drivers from your pc and try reinstalling them (might fix the issue/might not). Or we can hope to get some better drivers soon.

Also there is one more thing that might cause graphical artifacts, and it is RAM failing, it is very rarely the case, but in this case you would have some issues outside the game to. If nothing else helps do a memtest

Hope you sort it out.

Same problem, but only on 1600×900 with small UI setting, i usually just change it to normal for trading post

1. button The skill where you are supposed to dodge/jump back from your target seems to be bugged. The jump part sometimes does not happen at all even thou there is nothing blocking you from behind, the animation sort off plays out but it plays out on spot.
