Guild Wars 2

Although the gem price is a bit high, I luckily still had gems leftover from Christmas and managed to do a couple gathering runs to get all 5 slots.

The only thing I wish I could change about it is the UI for it. I don’t play with the seperate bags showing, so it feels kinda awkward for me having them in the first five slots in the merged inventory. If we could have some more maneuverability in regards to where it shows up that’d be awesome!

Currently, gathering tools have to be moved between characters through the bank if you want to use them on other characters. I’m sure for people with lots of alts this can be a bit tedious.

I know this isn’t a new suggestion, but what I’d suggest is that once you buy an infinite gathering tool, it unlocks that certain gathering for all your characters (similar to gliding).

Some people will say that doing so would be giving too much convenience, as well as resulting in lost sales by Anet. However, as someone who enjoys the animations (and has bought several more tools just for the effects), I think having the ability to choose an effect on said gathering would counterbalance the loss of sales by people who just buy one set. I can’t imagine someone buying more than two sets of gathering tools right now, but I think being able to choose the effects on the fly would give much more incentive to buy the different gathering tools- because fashion wars, amirite?

With mining picks I’d reckon there are lost sales because the Watchwork Mining Pick currently has advantages over the other picks. By allowing the ability to change the effects (and retain the bonuses supplied) other options will be much more attractive (I’m looking at you, Firefly Mining Flute!).

Although I know it probably doesn’t touch their list of priorities right now, I think it’d be a reasonable change and would potentially bring more income for them.

That’s officially a wrap I think. No bunny ears, but I can’t complain. :P

Anet said months ago that they wont release any more single armor skins in the gem store, just outfits.

I think you’re thinking about armor sets. I’d group singular armor skins like the bunny ears along with things like backpiece skins which they have been releasing such as the various wings. It also technically wouldn’t be a release, and would just be a return (such as the shadow of the dragon skins they put on sale today).

That’s officially a wrap I think. No bunny ears, but I can’t complain. :P

Avador.8934:

I got angry many times thanks to this event, I got dc’ed about 3 times, 2x with 20 stacks already, and 1x with 15 stacks. So I spent 1/2 hours for nothing. (I don’t want to do this, but I really want that thoughtless potion!).

So Anet, just pls change it to: instead of getting reward at the end, you’ll get 1 token per event. It will solve this problem with disconnection completely, and prevent players with +20 stacks from just sitting and doing nothing.

This also just happened to me, dc’d, came back and got more stacks- but then got nothing at the end of the event with the stacks still active.

Getting tokens from each event (or as drops) would work much better and provide more incentive and less punishment for people who d/c or need to leave the map.

I’ll update in 5 minutes.

Sale extended through teh mordrem event!
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/encore-sale/

Thanks Tee Why for pointing that out!
There’s still that faint hope!

Oh god.
And for a second I thought my wallet was in the clear.

Well that’s a wrap I think. Too bad it didn’t end with a bang\

Edit: Nevermind, there’s still hope.

The designs under the second screenshot remind me of white mantle

“Your base is under attack!” when the match hasn’t even started yet.
I always feel the need to go out and try and kill them out of pure rage
That or I mute my speakers until the match starts lol.

Adjusted. I’m guessing the “quantity of 5” applies to the bank access expresses as well :S

Countdown: 4 more days of sales.

There goes gold to gem conversion, kinda lol.

Countdown: 5 more days of sales.

Linfang.1087:

Grenth Hood with Bunny ears is what he is looking for!

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did bunny ears for the last day lol. Everyone’s gems would be depleted and conversion rates would skyrocket

I’m just hoping for bank tabs and storage expanders… maybe makeover kits as well. :B

Countdown: 7 more days of sales.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Ok, I shouldn’t have looked. I play every night, but I might have missed the mini-stravaganza if you hadn’t updated.

Thanks.

I think?

How many did you buy Gaile? :P

Miss Lana Too.5794:

Great job Sae! Though you missed Braham’s Shield and Rox’s Quiver on the 29th.

Ahh sorry, missed that! Gemstore was unfortunately bugged for me that day.
Was kinda hoping to get the shield too, darn haha.

Anyone elses gemstore not updating?

I think that auto attacking takes no brain or skill, please remove ranger from the game.

wulfheart.8206:

I’m just wondering…is the Account Jump Start Package a limited time offer thing? Or is it permanent on the Gem store?

My guess is that it’s like the Black Lion Introductory Package where it’s a one time price when you buy it, then afterwards if you wanna buy more it’ll be at the regular price (as a permanent store bundle).

That’s just what I think though. :S

Happy anniversary GW2!

I don’t think anyone has made a thread to follow all the sales for the anniversary sale, so I guess I’ll compile one and update it daily when I can. I’ll update so that the newest sales are at the top, as well as add video links when possible.

If I’m not able to, please post the sales in order to keep everyone updated.

NOTES: Thank you all for constantly updating/ answering each others questions. That’s a wrap. See you guys again next year!

This has happened to me as well while running CoF on my ele the other day.
Couldn’t move until I use a movement skill (Burning retreat).

Just a flesh wound.3589:

“A game serial code for account creation OR upgrade for the GW2: HoT expansion and the award-winning Guild Wars 2 core game”

It’s an either/or. Either you make a new account which has the HoT expansion (and your old account will remain in its original form) OR you upgrade your old account to give it the HoT (and you won’t also get a new, separate account).

This. I can see how it can be confusing though- could be worded much better.

Agreed, its pretty frustrating to play against premades with pugs that are new to the game that literally just aa in place.

Also agree with above suggestion of a /resign /ff function, at like 10 minute mark or something with a unanimous surrender (3-2) so it isn’t exploited. While we’re at it lets add dishonor back as well. If it worked in GW1, I’m sure it’ll work in GW2.

I noticed this as well when using an experience scroll on a new character, and oh god- I face palmed so hard. I’m sure its nice for newer players to see what they’re getting in the next level, but as people have said before: please please please make an option to turn it off/disable it for the veterans.

Dealing with level gated material was already bad enough to deal with on new toons, but now I have additional pop ups that irk me when leveling instead of feeling satisfaction. It’s almost like we’ve gone back in time to internet explorer circa early 2000’s when pop-up ads were a normal thing to encounter- which is unfortunate.

He’s probably assuming that the tempest skin line was made for the Tempest specialization- its not. There’s a new warhorn skin for the specialization.

Someone’s gonna cash in on the tempest warhorns lol.
There’s only one in TP and its 2000g, yikes.

From past events we all know how “Veterans” feel already. Giving another bonus alongside getting the core game for free would just be a slap in the face to them, and would create so much backlash on the forums.

Is anyone experiencing problems with the Log-In Rewards?

When I got the pop-up during reset, mine skipped the one I was supposed to get (which was the Chest of Loyalty, unfortunately :S) and gave me the first one (mystic coins).
A guildy of mine reported that he didn’t even get the chest pop up. > <

Do you think its worth to get? :S
How often do you get sprockets from it?

Hidori.3472:

lol… you are a windows user through and through.

I’d be the first to camp in front of Anet’s building or chain me to their doors until they would remove such a “are you really, really, absolutely, 100% sure?” feature.

Haha, sadly- can’t be too sure okay?! :P
Item deletion on the other hand… typing “Hall of Monuments Portal Stone” is one of my favorite past times!

Ykfox.3825:

You know you can hit F12 to get a different menu that let’s you choose between logging out and character select, right?

I actually never even knew that was an option- thanks xD

I don’t know if this has been suggested, but can there be some sort of secondary check if you click “Exit to Desktop”. In a few occasions I’ve only meant to log out and accidentally clicked “Exit to Desktop” and had to re-log.

I’m sure this is just a small little thing, but I was just wondering why this option is instant compared to logging out which prompts “Are you sure you want to log out?”.

Ahh okay, thanks! Was gone for both times so I guess I’ll just have to wait for this winter, haha. I think it was only one set that they put into the chests no?

Did this mini only come out in 2013? It’s the only mini I want (alongside the mini puppy…) that I’ve seen so far.

So I just logged on a couple minutes ago and noticed that I didn’t have to put the mobile authenticator code on. So I checked my account on here and saw that it was still active, so I logged out and tried it again but it didn’t prompt me for the code again. Is this happening to anyone else?

I checked the history for logins and apparenlty someone logged on/tried to log in to my account from a location I’m unfamiliar with.

So far I’ve changed my password and reset my mobile authenticator, but I’m not sure how I’d go about changing my account email… how do I go about this? :S

I just bought one a couple days ago since I didn’t think it’d be on sale for a while after the march sales, urgh. Bought another one anyways though, lol

I’m hoping they bring back the unlimited royal terrace pass (even though that was still pretty recently), but I missed it as well as the captains airship pass when they went onto the gem store, argh.

Only one color spawned at all attunement locations once we beat all three knights (it was the green attunement).

So once we killed all three knights, only one colour attunement spawned at all attunement locations- meaning there was no red or blue buff to be found, only green.

Frustrating to encounter after staying on the map for four hours just to finish all three bosses in time. Zzz

This has been happening to me as well, I’ve tried looting most of them and I haven’t gotten any so far.

Update: 18 hours and nothing yet :/

Yak’s Bend is bugged as well.

Is anyone else not getting their stuff from the Gem Store? I know that one other person made a thread and got their costume after one hour… but it’s been 12 hours and I still haven’t gotten anything that I purchased in the mail.

I actually accidentally bought 2 witches outfits because I thought I had to pick them up from the Recent Purchases section zzzz.
