Guild Wars 2

I appreciate the information. Thank you!

A few days ago, I went in to purchase a single Raven Mail carrier from the Black Lion Trading Post. After clicking buy, I noticed that it had purchased 233 of them for various prices ranging from 60 sp to 90 sp each. I did not move the bar over to purchase multiple of them, yet it did. I was upset with this as it is a 1 per account item and contacted CS to see if they could help me out with this. I was informed that there were no reports of this issue and that I should be more careful when making purchases on the trading post. They suggested that I place the items on the trading post and get my money back that way. I will end up losing a lot of in game money this way, but oh well. Today some poor player purchased 200 of them in one chunk. I cannot believe that this is NOT a big or glitch as it appears to have happened twice.

They do but they cannot respond to everything. They have acknowledged an issue regarding that achievement and are still working on it.

Exactly… From what I have seen, they have staff that read the forums and pass long information

We can see that it is being read, just take a peek at the patch notes!

Kumu Honua.2751:

1. Gather two groups of friends.
2. Wait at the spider spawn. Do not afk, do not go get a soda, do not kill random mobs around you.
3. Engage spider IMMEDIATELY.
4. It will cocoon someone. Focus that cocoon entirely. Don’t worry about damaging The spider at all. Only cocoons.

If you are paying attention and you can trigger the cocoon yourself instead of letting a “troll” do it, you are the one setting the rules for the engagement. Then the only time they can get cocooned is by 1 in X chance where X is the number of people engaged in the fight. And since you have 10 people who’s SOLE PURPOSE is to kill cocoons. It doesn’t matter if the troll DOES get cocooned you have enough to destroy the cocoon without him helping from inside.

This is basically what I did. I waited and watched it while it spawned and kept watching unit the raid showed up. If someone came along and ruined the achievement I would announce it. I make sure to watch for all cocoons and break every one asap.

Another thing that some people do not realize is not to stand on the ledges. I have seen her cocoon many people there and she warps right to it instantly.

The other day we had a player run in and was instantly cocooned and he ruined the event. The raid was there, but the player just ran in. He was basically reported by quite a few players and it became the topic of conversation through the knight battles. I understand that briefing is being done with this event, however it seems to be different people running up to Queenie and being killed. I felt that the server was going a bit overboard with this, but then again, I was upset with it until I was able to get the achievement.

I played the heck out of Lions Arch (Under Attack!), and I liked it a lot (leveled from 46 to 65 just on playing this even over and over again). Battle for Lion’s Arch is really awful and really it should be pulled. If you have an event like this that runs perpetually, you need to give players a way to find each other on the map so that they can figure out where the action is. As a player, it feels like I’m running a gauntlet, getting attacked by enemy AI while looking for an event to join in on. Also, there’s very little payoff in any of the activities in the event. I don’t get it, how come this event is so different in quality from the last one? Horribly frustrating, I can’t say it enough. Pull it, it’s really bad.

I am confused by this post actually. I still see events pop up all over the place and if you find anyone with the blue Commender tags on the map, that is probably where the group is. If you are not sure, you can always ask in map chat. I get TONS of loot bags from the events as well as orange loot bags form the champions. If anything, I am seeing more loot and events now that there is no timer that kicked you out. You also don’t have those at the start of the zone leeching loot while they go AFK

Fort aspenwood is one of the servers that fails the content regularly. Even at prime time they either fail knights or the hologram. Guesting does not help due to high chance ending up in overflow with not enough to fight all 3 knights.

That is odd. I am on Fort Aspenwood. I played yesterday on and off and tried about 5 or 6 times and only failed once when the Blue Knight healed due to Menders reaching him. It does depend on the time that you try to be honest. I am EST and most of my tries were in the afternoon through the evening. The morning probably does not have enough people on. Perhaps the weekend would be better for those times.

Auric.3742:

OK. Just did the event and succeeded. Watched out for the menders and attacked them when they appeared.

YAY!!!!! Congrats!

Tai Kratos.3247:

I dunno, how would I do that?

I pulled this from the Wiki. I have not tried it myself yet, but it may help you out!
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World#Guesting

Guesting
Guesting allows you to play with friends on other worlds in the same region without transferring. Guests retain guild bonuses from their home world and any influence earned will accrue to their home world’s guild.² Guests cannot participate in World versus World and do not receive any Power of the Mists bonuses. As might be expected, if you guest to a full world, you increase your chances of ending up in overflow.

Players on North American home worlds cannot guest on European worlds or vice versa.³

[edit] How to guest
From the character selection screen, choose World Selection. Choose the world to which you wish to guest and click on the Guest button (next to the Transfer button). After confirming your choice, the game will place a suitcase icon symbol next to the guest world. The next character you play will be guesting on that server and continue to do so until you logout, change characters, or restart the current character. To guest again (or with another character), repeat the same steps.

You are eligible to guest as many times as you like, but you may only choose up to two guest worlds every 24 hours.

Caution: double-check when guesting that you have not accidentally started the transfer process; the buttons are very close together and the prompts are similar.

Lil Puppy.5216:

I keep seeing this excuse, IT IS NOT THE MENDERS that are causing the bug we’re discussing. We have been fighting the menders for over 2 weeks, we should all be fully aware of their abilities by now, IT IS IN THEIR NAME… There are 5 of them with a 20%(??) heal on touch ability, 5*20=100% health. If you let them near the zerg they will rush to fight, then they will see that Blue is damaged and rush to it and heal it.

BTW it takes one Ele/zerker with the ice bow aoe to take them out. I always pay attention to them and take them out when I’m on blue.

The bug we’re discussing in most of these threads is the one that Anet said was patched with the latest update which has been proven afterwards to not be true.

Actually, tonights patch notes mention all of the Knights, not just the blue one, so I do not think that is what they were referring to.
“Fixed additional bugs related to the health regeneration issue with all Assault Knights.”

Is there any way that you can temporarily travel to another server? It took a while for Fort Aspenwood to get it down, but today we managed to do it most of the day with some cooperation.

Kabraxis.7801:

Blue still full heals….just did it during current attempt.

Blue will heal if the menders are not stopped as they pass by. Have someone on Mender duty to grab them before they get close to the Blue Knight and it will not heal.

The Knight loot issue was fixed with the patch on 3-6. Now if you kill a knight, you will gain loot after the event is complete. It is not a loot able chest though, it is auto granted to you (appears above mini map).

Gatvin.6510:

I’m just going to throw in at, our sever was able to muster about 30 for each and it stunk. We couldn’t even hit 50% on any of the knights.

The knights are not hard if your zone is coordinated. Make sure that everyone has the correct color circle buff for the mob that they are fighting. No buff means no damage to mob. Make sure that when the large orange circle disappears, everyone evades or else they will be pulled in to the Knight. The group on blue needs to grab the menders prior to them getting close to the Blue Knight or they will heal it. All knight have a buff on them that reflects conditions. Stay away from conditions until that buff wears off.

If your zone is cooperating, they should be calling out on map how many spaces available at each Knight and how much life is left so if one knight needs more players, they can switch among them. I was in about 6 events today and the only time that we missed it was when Blue healed itself due to the menders reaching the Knight. It can be done with some cooperation. Good luck!

Scarlet is a different tactic all together. I saw only a few changed with her since the 3-7 patch.

Yes, the blue Knight has the menders, but the Red Knight has a lot of roaming mobs and events near it that can wreak havoc as well. The only easier mob is the green one. If you can not handle the Red or Blue, take the green and let others worry about the aggro mobs and heals. It can be done with coordination on all sides.

Inq.4256:

Ok, so if 50 go blue, 50 go red and 26 go to green and blue and red are killed but green isn’t killed, does this mean the ones at blue and red get chances for cores while the poor saps at green get stuck out with zero chance for anything?

I ask because I was one of the ones that spent 14 min at green with the other 25 folks and we at green came away empty handed, zero loot.

That seems to be the case. You get loot on a killed knight. When we do it the zone is constantly saying how many slots it has open at each Knight and how much life is left. It would have worked last time, but the players at blue did not catch the menders in time and he healed….

I managed to get into Scarlet a few times prior to the patch as well as 2 times today. It takes some coordination, but it is doable at least. The Achievement, I have no idea on as we have yet to get it that I know of.
