Guild Wars 2

Just happened to me, CTD right before MoM died. Third time this week.

I give up, time to play something else.

Today a strange skritt who I had never seen before asked me to purchase, in exchange for large amount of gold and valuable ectoplasm, some strange and unusual items of dubious value. “Apprentice Mekteki,” I said, “you seem shady, and I don’t carry that kind of cash.” I promptly continued about my day.

Then, an anonymous person led me to believe that this skritt might be unwittingly offering items at below their true value! My first thought was, “I must exploit this!”

In an attempt to take advantage of Mekteki, I promptly gave him all of my valuable gold and ectoplasm!

As it turns out, what I received was not worth what I paid. Now I’m broke. It’s a very deflating experience and it left me personally feeling very angry and cheated.

Why did no one warn me that this was a bad idea?!?!? This is everyone’s fault but mine!!!

The check’s in the mail.

It was like that when I got here.

If elected, I promise to…

And how is getting skin you don’t need better?
There should be 1k tickets send to players and pick up weapon you like [without limit, but it’s acc bound, just like wvw tickets]

If that was the case, I would 100% buy tickets. But since both ticket AND weapon choice is RnG, I won’t even bother.

RNG + RNG = RNG

RNG + not RNG = RNG

Shut up and either enjoy the raffle, or don’t.

I’m not sure you know what those terms mean, and I’m not even going to bother to explain what’s wrong with this post.

Agreed, Khairiya. The official patch notes for 2014-09-15 contain no mention of the change, so I’m operating under the assumption that it’s an unintended bug.

Try as I might, I can’t imagine any legitimate reason why double-click to move items would be disabled only into the bank.

This is really annoying to anyone who regularly transfers anything between alts.

I used to be able to open my bank and double-click (within the “bank” panel) on items in my inventory, and they would be deposited into the first empty spot in my bank. Since the September feature pack, this no longer works.

Double-click functionality remains unchanged in every other circumstance I’ve tried, with the exception of those changes specified in the feature pack update notes:

Double-clicking a stackable item to deposit/withdraw from the bank will now attempt to merge it with existing stacks first and place any remainder in the first empty slot.

I can only assume the two are related. Please have a look at this, I’d imagine it’s unintended. I’ve now got to drag and drop items into the bank, and when I’m doing so with several items at once, it gets quite annoying.

Withdraw the leather and the gold will show up, as it should still be in a queue, waiting to be added to the pick-up tab.

This is indeed correct; upon withdrawing the leather, the gold showed up. What a confusing system.

Today I checked the Black Lion Trading Company to see if any of the five exotic items I had listed yesterday had sold; I noticed that there was 0 copper listed under “Trade Profit”, so I figured they hadn’t. “Well,” I thought, "perhaps they’re priced too high. So I had a look at “My Transactions/Items I’m Selling”. To my surprise, I only saw three of the five exotics listed there; perhaps I had been mistaken, perhaps I had not in fact listed them after all. So I checked my bags, my bank, my other characters, and didn’t find them.

And then I looked under “My Transactions/Items I’ve Sold”. There they were, indicating that they had sold “seconds ago”. Well, then where was my gold?

I decided to investigate. In the following video, you can see that after successfully selling an item, “Trade Profit” still indicates 0 copper, the item is no longer in my inventory, and a listing fee of 3 copper (which is inconsistent with the indicated listing fee of 4 copper) has been deducted from my wallet.

So the Black Lion Trading Post ate my money. I don’t know how long this has been happening, or how much I’ve lost because of it. Furthermore, I don’t know what to do with the rest of the items that are still listed for sale, because if I remove them, I will forfeit the listing fee I’ve already paid; if they sell, I lose everything.

This is really disappointing, and I’d like to see it fixed as soon as possible; additionally, I believe I am due compensation for my loss.

There’s a guild challenge in which you have to kill 3 bosses within the same time window that works perfectly to split up the ‘zerg from one to the other’ tactic. It makes coordination very important and creates a much more interesting fight.

I was really hoping that was the case with the knights but it’s not. I’ve tried suggesting in map chat that we split up and take them all down at once but unfortunately mine is a tiny voice in a storm of “BLUE>GREEN>RED!!!”.

See An overflow actually tried this. I swear the overflow was full and everyone came to participate and the groups were split evenly but there was just not enough damage going on per Knight.

The scaling on the knights is horrible. The only time I’ve come close to 6 minutes was the blue green red zerg and we were off by 1 minute.

I was in on some of the first attempts to complete this event. Players actually tried the tactic of simultaneous kills first; this proved difficult, and naturally, players wondered if it would work better if they all zerged one at a time. It did. Combined with the additional rewards of TRIPLE LOOT, the choice became obvious. I cannot believe the designers didn’t see this coming.

I remember when Triple Trouble first came out, players tried the opposite first: zerging one at a time. It didn’t work, and the prevailing tactic now is to split up. It requires a huge amount of coordination, but it’s been consistently successful.

I’m beginning to wonder if Knight loot wasn’t broken intentionally until someone can figure out how to prevent players from “doing it in a way we hadn’t intended”. Having done the event several times with zero Knight loot, I feel cheated.

I was really getting into the LS, but the amount of issues with this release is truly disappointing.
