Guild Wars 2

Dang, I’m missing out on an easy +10 AR because of this.

Same problem. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Can you find out whether people who got the PvP rewards should still be able to get the PvE rewards?

If it’s intentional, then I still think it’s not fair that there was no warning the rewards are different.

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Hey all, we have let the team responsible know of this issue and they are currently investigating it. Somebody will update here when we have something more substantial, but I just wanted you all to know that we are aware and looking into it.

Hi Mark,
If you could please also tell them to look into the issue of players receiving different gifts if they talk to Tixx while in the Heart of the Mists. I don’t know if it was intentional that you could only receive either PvP or PvE rewards, but there was no warning that the rewards would be different.

Harbinger.8637:

Yeah, I got the same thing. It’s +2 healing and toughness….

What I’m I supposed to do with this Anet?

Can’t you transmute it? Just think of it as a skin. Even a rare level 80 backpiece wouldn’t be useful since there are exotic and ascended ones.

If you do you will receive PvP-only rewards (backpack skin, 3 snowman finishers, and 3 gift finishers). And you will not be able to claim the PvE prizes after this.

I’m disappointed in how varied the difficulty of the fractals are. It basically adds another RNG factor into it, along with the RNG rewards which no one enjoys. Sometimes I feel like to only reason I am at the level I am in fractals is because I get three out of the four “easy” fractals. I’m sure every fractal veteran can agree on which are the easy fractals and which are the hard ones.

Cliffside already gave my parties a lot of trouble, and that was before the boss could reset his health. This is just another added challenge to the already most annoying fractal. The part with the arms is especially challenging unless you use the “exploit” where there are no additional spawns if you don’t kill one of the enemies. If this is ever fixed then I won’t be running fractals again because I have never beaten this part with both sides spawning. _I suggest to remove the boss fight at the beginning, it’s literally the same boss as the end boss, and it just makes the already most time consuming fractal longer. _

Volcano fractal is the main killer, I’ve failed most times because of the boss on this one. The only problem is if your party can’t kill the spawns fast enough, you will all die. The boss spawns the lava elementals at every quarter of his health, and every time, it’s either we beat him without a hitch, or we fail on the first wave of spawns, then we continuously fail that part until we quit. _I now make it an effort to run this one first, so that if we fail, I wouldn’t have wasted an hour or more of my time on the first two fractals. _

tl;dr Balance fractal difficulty so people don’t have to reset for Aquatic first and hope for Urban/Swamp/Snowblind on numbers two and three.

Is there a server where it’s almost done (past 2nd reinforcement). I really don’t want to do the whole thing again.

Please post if you’re EU or US.

how to do you know demolition stage is bugged?

If it’s still on that stage, then it’s bugged.

Sleepy.2647:

If it’s on the demolition stage don’t bother, it’s bugged.

This, don’t get your hopes up.

Please make sure your overflow is not bugged before you invite anyone. Most likely to bug place is the demolition stage, and it is unfixable.

I managed to get into one that’s active but the event is broken at the demolition stage.
So I am still looking for a active, working server. Been here for an hour already.

IGN: Renegade

Please make sure the event is not bugged on the demolition stage.

Still need an invite to an overflow that works.

IGN: Renegade

Could I get an invite into one of the newer Overflows with the event?
IGN: Renegade

Please invite me. IGN: Renegade

How exactly does this work? (i.e. how do you make sure we get into the correct overflow server?)

It’s not repeating, it’s just that in some overflows the event is still going on.

I suggest a restart of the event would be good. People who looted already can’t loot the chest again (this system is already in place after the Halloween event). Since less players will be there the next time, there will also be less lag and risk of disconnecting.

Recently.1043:

Yes, that is why people are pissed.

Actually most people are pissed because they did the event but missed out on the reward due to crash or disconnect.

They already implemented the system where you can’t loot the same chest twice (this was fixed during the Halloween event where people were jumping through Overflows to loot different chests). However, a bug? is that you can still do this on different characters.

I believe it’s been changed back to 5 PM PST to account for Daylight Savings Time.
Would have been nice to have a warning or something, I’ve been standing in front of the gates for an hour now.

Just wanted to thank the support team. Was falsely banned for botting. Got my account back in less than 12 hours. Make sure you include your serial number and account name in your ticket.

Strangely, I don’t understand how many of you are posting here; when I was banned I was blocked from the forums too.

Would help alleviate stress from the >500 gold needed for a legendary.
Those who are rich but don’t have time to fight CoJ can still buy them for 1g a pop.

Server: Blackgate
Problem: Pre-event to uncontest the dungeon is stuck since the Nov. 1 patch.

Mine just started working again. Full 3 weeks after transfer.

I did it twice and I’m only mad because the second time all I got were 9 trick-o-treat bags.
Keep up the good work Josh.

For some reason Basic and Fine Transmutation Stone have a preview option even though they’re not equips, and if you click it the game crashes.

Does not work with Fire either. Possibly intentional?

Don’t know if this is true or not but I’ve seen a few reports of this on other forums.
Just a heads up Anet.

I’m still not getting any WvW bonuses (i.e. Gathering +2%, etc.) even though my server unlocked them.
A staff member once said that you must wait a full week after the current match-up ends.
I transferred 2 weeks ago so I should have the bonuses on this week’s match-up.

Jason King.2647:

We’ve been working our way through the rune sets and getting them working right, so thank you for the reports and your patience: we’ll be looking at this one soon!

Thanks a lot.
Could you make sure that the 4th skill is changed to “on attack” (like the description says) rather than “on hit”. It may seem like a small change but I assure you it’ll make a huge difference.

People are like electricity, they’ll take the path of least resistance.

Also I think CoF armor looks better for all race/classes.

Pretty sure it’s not intentional, as all the other runes that summon creatures can’t do this.

You won’t hear “Yarr!” but you will get the Might boon.

This affects all rich ore veins, not just Ori.

I’m having this bug too, is there some rule where you must stay in the server for x amount of days before you can get the bonuses?

I believe the problem is caused by an NPC conversation that may or may not trigger depending on the path you walk.

Read my post too, it might help with the issue you’re having.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Story-Quest-Battle-of-Fort-Trinity-Problem/first#post415495

I believe I may have some valuable insight into this bug. I have done this twice (solo), the first time did not work, second time did, and there were only three things I did differently:
1. First time I had my mini-pet with me. I doubt this affects anything.
2. First time I used an arrow cart to kill enemies. Also, I doubt this affected anything.
3. First time, I took a path that did not trigger certain NPC chatter. Second time I did get the chatter. I believe this is at least part of the problem.

Here are some pictures to show what I’m talking about:
Notice in the first picture, the NPC logging captain says: “All right. Organize a search party…. etc.” Then I cleared the camp, and then the event for defending the front gate started, I killed the first wave and then the mission got stuck. I searched for enemies for around 5 minutes before restarting the quest.

In the second picture, there is NPC chatter after I cleared the logging camp. The Logging Captain acknowledges that I successfully defended the camp, then the Lieutenant and Trahearne say to defend the front gate. It is my belief that this NPC conversation needs to happen before you start killing the first wave at the gate.

How to trigger the conversation? Make sure you follow the correct path. Look at my third picture, this shows the path I took that allowed me to complete the mission.
From the front gate, I did a counter-clockwise loop around the camp. When I did this mission the first time (which got stuck), I took the same path to and from the camp so I did not hear the NPC conversation.

tl;dr: After clearing the camp, make sure you hear the NPCs chat about needing to defend the front gate. Look at third pic to see the path I took.

Also, the quest can get stuck on defending the docks. What happens is an enemy will get clipped inside the dock so you can’t see it. What you should do is use the “water surfacing trick” to identify the location of that enemy, then AoE attack it. I can also confirm that if you aggro it then go out to the sea, it will follow you and de-clip itself, allowing you to kill it normally.

The 3rd buff is actually in Healing Power rather than regular Power.
4th buff activates on hit rather than on attack, but even when it activates the boons aren’t applied.

I hope they fix it to reflect the wording, I would not have bought this rune set otherwise.

First post on the forums. Here is what worked for me, it’s a combination of both Ganzo and Sinth’s tricks. (Alone, neither of them worked).

1. Make sure you’re not playing GW2 right now.
2. Have two tabs open, one on the official game site, one of the forums.
3. Log into the forum, get to the Code of Conduct page
4. On the site tab, log out of your account
5. Switch to forums again, press Decline (don’t check the box)
6. You should be prompted to log in again, do so
7. You’re now back at the Code of Conduct page
8. Switch to site tab, refresh it and log out again
9. Switch to the forums tab, check the box and press Accept.

(Edit: I’m actually a bit hazy on step 8, try this method both with step 8 and without it)
