Guild Wars 2

Just encountered this myself. Did the grub path. Regretting getting HoT more and more every day.

Sanctum Scramble skill 2 Dragon surge is shooting me straight down into the ground. I’ve seen videos where people actually shoot forward after jumping when using this skill. However when I use it I go almost straight down. Not sure what’s going on. Any help would be appreciated.

Happy to report that either adding the switch for the port to the shortcut or the armor trick worked, tried both in the same run and was able to get past that story mission finally. Thanks for that Healix!

Well, this is the only instance that has ever disconnected me like this, at the same time, every time. I’ve done dungeons, fractals, story arcs on multiple characters, SAB, you name it. Just very disconcerting that after all this time it still does it. But I’ll try the port and armor changes..

As title, I have been unable to get past this mission for more than a year and a half. I posted about it 2 or 3 times a long time ago then gave up on the game when the WvW map changes were done. Came back like a week ago and it STILL happens. Soon as the cinematic for the cauldron being dropped finishes I get a connection error message. Happens at the same time, every time, and I NEVER get disconnected like this unless it’s a zone/server issue or something else where a slew of folks get hit (like a backbone outage or something similar.

Please either fix this or simply flag my account that this mission is done. I really don’t want to play a character that can’t finish the story.

Did you hear about the asuran necromancer that escaped from jail? Guards said to be on the lookout for a small medium at large. (adapted from another joke…)

I can confirm this issue is NOT ISP related. Tracerts to the server show no issues. Account website is also slow both in a browser and the launcher. In game ping is all over the place with chat being affected as well.

As title says, girlfriend just turned this option on and she’s one of those weird “must click on skills manually instead of using shortcut keys” types. Weirdo, I know. Anyway, the new option to snap ground target to current target doesn’t work for her when she does this, but works just fine when using keyboard shortcuts to cast the same skills. I tested it myself on my necro right next to her and verified this is exactly what’s going on. I was just wondering if this was intended behavior because I haven’t seen anyone else complain of this.

I just wanted to give a heads up to those on this thread as I was in the same boat. 29/30 after doing Dulfy’s vid 3 times and sure I was bugged. Turned out I missed the one under the stairs that lead up to the event where you overcharge that tube to get to the champ inquest krewe boss. For some reason I didn’t see that Dulfy picked up a coin there each of the times I went through it. Then I accidentally fell off the stairs and there it was. :p

Anyway, if you are missing one try checking there first.

My guild was in a rally in a borderland and most of us got DCed. Logged back in on my necro in queensdale and couldn’t use any abilities or get back into the BL. Could log back in fine from char select though. Swapped to my guard and he could use abilities but was really laggy then he stopped responding at all. Tried restarting client and now can’t log in from splash screen at all. Forums also seem really slow. Not affecting everyone though, just east coast to midwest maybe?

This is actually one of the reasons I stopped playing altogether, along with the culling in WvW and some other thing I didn’t like. But ya, to have pet AI be THIS bad is just ridiculous. I don’t understand why a class that can spec so far into pets has no pet panel.

Killing bots in a pvp zone is an exploit? LOL That’s gotta be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Since ANET isn’t taking care of the problem, players taking steps to reduce their impact and make some badges on the side seems all fair to me. And there’s no way that could be construed to be against the ToS since all you are doing is killing a player in a pvp zone. You might THINK they are bots, but then, you don’t really know, do you? I’ll agree the best thing would be for them to not be there at all, but eh, if I see something like this I’ll wade in with my staff swingin and AoEs flying.

Only reason IoJ pushed north from Durios/Umber when ET was attacking yalls keep was because a sizable group of CD came down from Ogres and attacked Umber. So we defended then just followed up taking the Ogres, the Ogrewatch supply camp, then Ogrewatch itself. Not sure what happened after that besides CD being completely off the map. It wasn’t like we planned it. Honestly, /m chat was full of people wanting to take down ET supply chains and the push north just sort of happened.

See, it is exactly for THIS reason that ArenaNet should make no move to change where and how the jumping puzzles work in WvW. Some of the most fun (and most frustration too, truth be told) I’ve had in WvW has been in small 1-4 man skirmishes in the jumping puzzles. Sure, most of the time you get a 4v1 or worse, and ya, siege inside can suck, but you as often as not get some good action in there. I can understand the folks who would like to move the puzzles to a seperate WvW server so folks who are doing them aren’t part of the queue though.

The other day while doing CM a guy in my guild was playing his Charr engi. In the room where you get ambushed by all the bandits he would run around over top of the furniture. His char was CONSTANTLY screaming with the falling to his death yell. Was funny as hell… the first 10 times or so. After 10 minutes of it it got old though. :p

Same here. Male Asure character, head, face and eyes all black. Ears look normal. Just occurred since the latest patch.
