Guild Wars 2

LuckyAvalon.2308:

So the march is 15 minutes after daily reset?

30 minutes after reset for NA servers. 20:30EDT/17:30PDT

Vintage Game [VG] does a costume contest every year in game.

I give you the Mighty Morphin’ Hylek Rangers:
Red Moa – Human
Orange Drake – Norn
Yellow Sun – Charr
Green Jellyfish – Asura
Blue Crab – Sylvari
and, because there should be a sixth ranger, the White Quaggan Ranger (Asura)

All are Elementalists.

So I had this problem once before and it got fixed, but it came back a month or so ago and I got tired of waiting for it to be fixed again.

I’ve got 3 chat tabs set up:
Main – containing everything but guild, party, LFG, and combat.
Party – which has only party and whisper chats
Guild – which has only guild and party chats

All tabs have the “Flash on Unread Messages” option checked.

The guild tab, and only the guild tab, doesn’t light up with activity. Panel positioning doesn’t seem to matter.

For about 24 hours now, if I open the BLTC and click buy gems, I get the message “Unfortunately an error has occurred. Please try again later”. This has happened no multiple credit cards and PayPal.

I’m experiencing a similar problem and I’d report it in /bug, except that’s bugged too.

I keep guild and party chat in separate tabs. Whenever I change tabs away from anything other than the main tab, the tab clears.

With Daylight Saving Time ending in the US and most of Canada on November 2 (fall back), and ending for much of Europe on October 25, can we expect the timing of boss events and reset to shift?

For example, on NA servers, Daily Reset and Tequatl currently occur at 8pm EDT/7pm CDT/6pm MDT/5pm PDT. Tequatl then occurs again 11pm/EDT 10pm CDT/ 9pm MDT/8PM PDT.

This allows a great number of players to attend/organize for Tequatl when they get home from work.

However, with the time change in North America, assuming things are not shifted, Daily Reset and Early Tequatl moves to 7pm EDT/6pm CDT/5pm MDT/4pm PDT – effectively removing 2 time zones worth of players from the event (on the theory that most people on PDT don’t consistently get to Tequatl at reset already). The later Tequatl spawn would then shift to 10pm EDT/9pm CDT/8pm MDT/7pm PDT. This is a bit late for players in EDT who have to get up early, but is great for CDT and MDT players. I suspect the impact on PDT players would be minimal.

The reason I ask is that I’m part of the Jade Quarry group that organizes a daily kill and we need to determine which timeframe we’re going to aim for as a group.

(For those concerned about Karka Queen, it’s an hour before Tequatl. For those concerned about Evolved Jungle Wurm, it’s an hour after. Wurm involves even more organization than Tequatl, so I imagine guilds that organize Wurm kills would like to know this too.)

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

Even though it’s not specifically mentioned in the release notes, I am able to equip diving goggles again!

AcFiBu.9624:

any word on this. Still can’t use diving goggles.

I’ve heard nothing back here or on the ticket I submitted in game.

I can’t imagine the goggles are a high-priority bug as they aren’t blocking PS or LW progress.

I also don’t understand why they are level-locked at all, as a level 2 Asura has goggles in their home city and right outside said city. Similarly, a level 2 Sylvari has goggles in The Grove. These are things found in non-combat areas and should be available to any character, in my opinion.

Myself and several guildmates are unable to equip any diving goggles. After pushing F, we get a message that we cannot use this object at this time. We’ve tested 4 different sets of goggles on 3 maps and even had a person try a set of goggles they do not have credit for.

As a JQ PvEr, I support the OP.

Thank you for the hostfile edit trick.

New spawn times for Wurm and Teq are TERRIBLE. I don’t know whose idea that was, but you guys need to rethink it. Teq time on JQ is supposed to be 5 server. That’s the time that always worked best for us and that’s the time everyone prefers. Now it’s at 8 server, which basically means a lot of us won’t be doing teq anymore because it’s too late for us. There really was no reason to change the times for these bosses.

As someone who helped organize the JQ reset kill, I agree that the new times are later. 8pm server is 11pm Eastern. (Note: those times are based on the release notes. The announcement blog seems to be accurate for times, but 7pm server (10pm Eastern) is still a bit late.) For players who have jobs that start before 10am, that’s painfully late. The other times are 4:30am (7:30am Eastern, so as people leave for work or need to be there) and 10am (1pm Eastern, the middle of the work day).

The original schedule for world bosses set Tequatl at an already painfully late for North American prime 7pm server time, as well as 4:30am and 10am. Those times are also Pacific Time. For Eastern Time, the most populous time zone in North America. those are 10pm, 7:30am, and 1pm.

Now, according to the official list of updates the 7pm server event is now 8pm server, pushing the event to a ridiculous 11pm Eastern Time. These changes have effectively shattered months of effort to build a sense of community around the event.

I had hoped for the event to be moved earlier before release, even if only an hour. As someone who has to go to work in the morning, the 7pm time slot was going to be a stretch for me. The 8pm server slot is right out.

Our secondary plan of having guilds try to produce Tequatl even once a week in rotation is also almost unachievable.

I find this frustrating, and I know I’m not the only one. I’ve formed friendships through helping organize Tequatl and I’d hoped to help others to the same. But this change has almost destroyed that hope.

Just so BG/SoR know, JQ claimed in their last matchup that the only reason they’re not T1 is because BG and SoR 2v1 them every time. Maybe it’s time to show ’em who da boss

I know you’re just kidding around and teasing them, but JQ is really a very good fighting server. Other than us (BG), I honestly believe JQ can beat SoR if we weren’t around because our NA crew don’t push SoR as much as our SEA crew.

IMO, BG is the smartest most strategic WvW server, SoR is the biggest with the most people, but JQ is the best pure fighting WvW server I’ve come across.

All hail a voice of sanity and reason.

Pinko.2076:

For the JQ ashamed of their server that actually want to fight, you should consider transferring to a t3 server far away from t1. Consider SoS, CD, Yaks.

Why would we be ashamed of our server? I don’t understand your thought process there.

I feel sorry for Fort Aspenwood, as they’ve had to deal with us for three weeks now, but I feel no shame at being a Quarrian.
