I tried to way point into lions arch to play Mad king says and the game booted me and started redownloading, it has frozen 5 times and is taking a exceptonally long time to load. I had allredy fully installed the game, And loggefd out to install the patch. This is really Really annoying. Other then that I do love the new content, worth every penny. Can we please stop wit hthe full downloads 3 times daily
I think what people are missing here is this isn’t the first time this has happened. My guess is the way they fixed the season 1 chest was someone had to go through every account that completed the meta and see who did or did not receive their chest and manually send it for those who didn’t. That took quite a bit of time. Now we are back at the same scenario. Please dont bother with the next season until this is resolved.
All game designers understand the mechanics of a reward system, when we do something good in a game and receive a reward our brain will give us a endorphin rush to say good job. On a extended tourney such as this the anticipation created makes for a very unhappy crew when the reward doesn’t show up.
Lets try to remember how long it took to get the three headed worm chest… wait perhaps the asurans had to hand those out individually as well!
I think we can all agree we like the game, the graphics are marvelous, and anet does keep trying to enhance the game play. That being said I think most of us are frustrated because this isn’t 9 days old. The problem was discovered when people didn’t get the first reward chest. The situation wasn’t resolved before the end of the second match up. Lets not have a third match up until they find the error and fix it. I do expect that when we all do finally get the chest there will be something extra in it to smooth over hurt feelings. Perhaps a twinkie with 100% WVW for 24 hours.
Sry my bad I should have been more specific. I started doing spvp a while ago, I didn’t join the tourney matches until I was more comfortable with playing pvp ( those tourney guys get excited about builds and gear). I am currently wolf rank and cant see myself progressing any further until they give me a better reason to. In spvp the spectate was always annoying, now its just ridiculous. I just cant see myself even doing tpvp right now as a loss is going to really frustrate whatever team your on.
Too late glory is gone. What they seem to be ignoring is the main question. Why did you remove glory BEFORE you had something in place to replace it? I will continue to do spvp for daily, I might even have a little fun with the auto balance system as well ( nothing like flipping it till there is 6 against 2).
So I have now had a chance to play spvp. WOW, the auto balance is flipping so fast that its hard to tell where you were or not. The points for either winning or loosing are terrible and the only loot you will see is when you rank up. If you wanted to just get rid of pvp why dont you just say so? I am really disappointed in ANET.
I agree Treebeard, in fact if you follow back most of the trolls posts that is all they do, get on the forums and bash the people that are trying to make the game a better play experience for all.
Well I agree with Sehson, I love the graphic’s and story content. In the past the vender has stayed up for a week or more for people like me that save all our " event tokens" to perhaps buy something big. That being said I do not log onto the forums every time there is a new event to see what may or may not happen to a particular vendor. I can understand the frustration.
I think I speak for many when I say it is frustrating that all the new content targets one or 2 servers. To get the worm achievement you had to either guest to Black gate or Tarnished Coast. To do the new LA events you need to guest to those 2 servers as well. So that being said how about you just get rid of all the other servers hmm? Then you will have plenty of time to address the achievements.
I love the graphics, and most of the game content. All the amazing little details rock. But please, STHAP releasing content that only 2 servers can manage and the rest of us cant. Most players don’t have the time to find a server to guest to just to play new content. Not to mention that require a voice server to coordinate the effort just to succeed.
Well I watched the whole video, it sure dosnt show the capping or the talented mesmers that portaled the other group that capped inner. Where is he part where you capped hills 25 seconds later? So your trying to say 2 mesmers stayed hidden, one on inner and one for outer. The other half of your zerg ran all the way around the back and got portaled in. But of course you dont have video of the capping of either Bay or Hills as that would just prove our point.
I play a game on my computer, having to open a spreadsheet and keep track of which toon has what crafting at 500, what dungeon path is finished, and what freaking mini event i have or haven’t done is really annoying. Pen and paper … are you kidding me?
Yep me too, I found the 30 kegs somewhat horrifying and was pleased to see that they had dropped it to 5. ( finished that last achievement for me) That being said I should be done the Triple trouble and sadly am not.
Most of us can understand that bad people will do bad things, over the last week we have had the lag dc issue come up twice now. Whereas most of the people I play sympathize with ANET, we are also pretty kittened that NOT ALL SERVERS IN WVW are affected. It was fantastic to get back on and find our whole BL had been papered, and upgrades were in progress for the other side.
I suggest when one WVW server crashes you kick all of the other servers out of WVW. Lets stop giving the server that dosnt get hit the ability to paper other servers undefended borderlands. Also you could add a que system for us so that when the servers come back up again we can get the message the server is avail to travel to, rather then having to stare at the screen until the tic comes back.
Also roll back the maps to when the attack started. If the reward is gone I think the kiddies will stop. I think these attacks are either for some sort of profit or someone tying to make the point they are smart enough to do it and too juvenile to care they look like a 6 year old writing on their bedroom wall.
Well isn’t this a fine kettle of fish. In SPVP Players often abuse the spectate feature to get wins for achievements. If the reward is based on wins people are going to be flipping sides faster then I blink. As well and please correct me if im wrong, they are removing rewards now and " sometime " in the future will put new content in to replace them? I think we have all heard that song and dance before…
I was so pleased when they put the universal level scroll in as I have already made one of each profession /race and can use my pvp glory to level any new char I create just for the armor style they can wear. Now its going to a 3 ring circus of people spectating to switch to the winning side and others hard raging at their team mates for a loss. And lets not forget " sometime in the future" they will give us new rewards for winning.
Really ANET please don’t take away only rewards that have some value until you have come up with something good to replace them.
So my warrior got her Birthday Gift today, when I tried to move it over to my favorite ranger I found that it is soul bound. Now I try not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but really? Its a booster, and the very same mini all my other characters have received. Did you make them soul bound just to kitten us all off? Or are you trying to personalize the present as we don’t quite have enough rewards that are account bound and of no real value? I am very disappointed in this choice.
Well there is only a 10,000ish point difference, which I think we proved can be closed and overcome. Maybe we try to help one server or the other by taking points from the one we don’t want second? (Probably won’t happen, but ehh)
Quick question:
When an opposing server own something in an enemy BL, why does your server seem to prefer to attack that objective first instead of focusing on one keep of the BL’s owner first?
Just something ive noticed.
Like ferg would own one keep on kain bl, and your zerg will go take a shot at it first before attempting any of kaineng’s keeps. Or like last night your server attacked hills twice in earnest before finally attacking (and taking) bay.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the loot its just that DH is bucking the norm of doubling up on the home team in their home bl and I’m kinda puzzled as to why.
I would think the primary reason would be that keep is paper already . Far easier to do a dash and grab when you can get in quick. Also it would usually be undefended as its in enemy borderlands. Kaineg can be brutal about defending reinforced towers. I have found them in many random places on there map when I pop over to solo camps.
I was standing on the wall of SM the other evening when I saw a FC zerg approach with one omega leading it. We were out numbered 3 to one and I yelled " Get The Golem!" Well DH in the team spirit that I truly love left the wall, chased the pretty golem almost back to the gates and killed it. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe. Thank you Darkhaven for being ready to die for some golem sport!
what im confused about is DH had like zero night crew before leagues. nobody has spoken of any transfers. were they always there and just not playing? they’re saving your kitten just wondering why they never used to do that.
Actually just before the start of the season we lost 2 fairly large guilds, and I am sure this has happened to more then just DH. People moved around to get the better glory. That being said we also have a very dedicated group of people that played all night long just to make sure we would not fail. Love you Grampa, Zephy, Blade, and all the rest that brought us up from the ashes. I would also like to point out that none of them are in the same guild. Darkhaven is not just a server it is a family.
Every server brought their A-game after the leagues started… ET have beaten FC easily in the pre-season, to not mention GoM/AR/DR, and look how we are standing now…
I am not having a problem with the start, there is a risen stuck under the dock. I ran around the outside and let the veteran ogres kill me ( really didnt have much choice ) the re spawning didn’t solve the issue. I cant kill it because I cant get to it.
I left the instance and restarted it, I made sure on the defend the docks portion I cleared the left side spawn first and the rest of the mission was trouble free.
Ok I finally got it done, Stay on the path and don’t believe the green circles. The first place you go to where all the guys are dead you have to wait, dialog log will appear stating such, don’t go from there. Run to the back wall 3 more will spawn. Kill them then proceed. At the blockade wait for the guys running up behind you. Once they are dead do not go up the hill until the little lady up there yells for help. Once up there just kill all the spawns as they come, once they are all dead stay up there untill you have someone else chat. When you follow the little fellow down the hill you can just avoid the guys prior to the blocked entrance. Killing as you go to the abomination once he is dead wait again until you see more dialog. After I talked with him I took the advice and only proceeded far enough to get the group to agro then let them clear the way. Frankly I don’t think that step was necessary as they were all trying to leave already when I talked to Dobbs. I cleared all the way down to the blockade and Traherne did his chat, we then fought or way back out of the area and it finished.

I have done it your way quite a few times Death, I have done this mission over 7 times. We the customer shouldn’t have to beat our heads against the wall and find a magic way to proceed through this game . It was in closed and open beta for long enough for these issues to show up. It has been said it dosnt matter if Dobbs follows or not. I am curious to know if anyone had it succeed with him stuck. AS the story goes we are supposed to get him out of there. Well I am going to try it for a second time today. Then after that fails I may as well take the evening off. I am sure not going to see tier 3 armor anytime soon.
I have done this one many times, I have followed every suggestion and I still don’t have it. In fact I have started saving the Defenders of Lions Arch letters. I have 7 now.
Dobbs is stuck yet again, Traherne is standing beside me at the blockade he is supposed to clear doing nothing. (right where the green star is saying i need to be) Obviously it cant be fixed so it works for everyone. Just delete it so the rest of us can carry on. Or refund us the price of the game until it works.
Well I beg to differ Jeff, I am still in that instance with myself, Traehern, Inkblood, Heckja, and amphebe at the bone wall, I even did the stuck feature. Was moved back to the beginning and ran Traehern to the outside of the Bone all following all the way around the outside. Just take a look at my account. In fact I will get her to dance for you.
One more thing Gixx is no longer anywhere around so I assume I chatted with him correctly.
In fact pm me in game if you cant see my char and we will do this one together. Just a question but have you done this one as a ele?
Yeah me to. They are spending a considerable amount of time and money to stop people from farming, and catching botters and gold sellers. And seem to have no regard to fix a broken game that we have paid money for. They have even offered tokens for working on your story line and haven’t made it so the average player can complete their story line.
You can buy thier gems and convert them to gold to buy gear and such, I did that when I hit level 60. I spent 50.00$ I got a few more inventory slots and couldnt afford to buy a whole set of tier 2 armor. Way to go, your sure making those gold sellers look good.
So basically this has been going on for 3 weeks? I read somewhere that they are not really that concerned about fixing it because its only affecting a few of us. Huh I thinks it time for me to start shopping for a game that wont stress me out, is fun, entertaining and works as it was designed to do.
With all the bugged skill points and areas I don’t even log into the game anymore. I just pop onto the forums and check all my saved threads. If people are still glitched I don’t even bother to log on. A game should be fun, challenging and occasionally frustrating to keep us busy. What I really don’t need is my 16 year old saying " you know mom if a game is making you into a potty mouth you need to step away" ugh having my words come back at me .. yikes.
So Jeffery I am sure I speak for everyone in this topic when I say PM any one of us and we will gladly take you along on our failed exploits just so you can see it yourself.
Well I tried it yet again and the little freak wont leave his corner. I even started the mission standing on my head and eating bugs, with my lucky rabbits foot in my hand, as well I stopped at the bingo hall and pilfered a few lucky tokens from the old ladies. Now frankly I don’t think I would be as cranky as I am now if this was the only problem. As it is I cant even do ac dungeon as that is bugged me me now as well.
I think I speak for more then just myself when I say stop concentrating on people that farm ( at this time it is basically the only way to make gold for items) stop making ways to catch gold sellers and concentrate on making the game playable. If we could play and get the rewards for completing as the game is supposed to be designed to do there would be no market for the gold sellers.
All that being said why not just make this quest a freebee for everyone who needs it. In the future when all the other problems are solved you can put it back to a playable quest.
Please shoot me now, This morning I grabbed my coffee and sat down to play, I giggled like a school girl when I saw a update. But still then I said to myself wait better go look and see if its fixed. Well they didn’t specifically say this one is working but they said they fixed many.
What the heck I am going to succeed this time I am sure of it! Well it started the same as usual, I practiced cpr on the first dead npc even though in the back of my mind some crazy woman’s voice was yelling " Nooo Dont!". As I went up the hill to the second mob I see a message in red saying " that content has been temporarily disabled" Im thinking " omg please let that be them working around the bugs" Well silly me after 10 of those messages, and dragging that abomination half way down the hill so the kiddies are closer to where I want them to be it happens again, as soon as the monster is dead Kekt runs back into his corner and wont budge. And btw I dont have any friends that want to waste the time doing my personal story line.
Well, isn’t this fantastic. Of the last 6 maps I have tried to complete this one is bugged as well. I am also waiting on my story line to be unbugged as well as map that I cant finish with my story line bugged. We don’t see any representation from arena net on these post and that leads me to believe they don’t look at them. Frankly I am starting to assume they are not repairing them so we have to buy their gems and convert them to gold so we can get better gear. And at the cost of their gems and the conversion to gold it will cost around 100.00 to get dressed in this game as you cant get better gear by doing your story or finishing maps. I am very disappointed in the lack of response to these bugs that affect our game play, but they sure figured out a way to track and ban the people that were exploiting their karma merchant error.
Same for me, this is day 2 of trying to get through it. Frankly the frustration is making the game not fun. I cant do the storyline for money, I cant finish mapping straights of devastation without the story line, I cant buy or sell on the Trading post because its down again. So any suggestions on how I am to buy better gear if it is going to take me months making gold selling junk items to random merchants? And I really Dont want to do this one again.
My character is human, she was created at the shortest height. I also have a lot of issues with not being able to see where I am trying to jump on the puzzles. I agree that it is highly frustrating to try and blindly go thru what is already a difficult challenge.
. I have found them in many random places on there map when I pop over to solo camps.
