Guild Wars 2

There are quite a few recipes that are not consumable in the mists/pvp lobby.

For example the Recipe: Major Sigil of the Night [&AgHijAAA] can’t be learned while on that map, but a majority of the rest of the recipes in the game can.

There are a bunch of recipes like this. Mostly armor sets like the Zealots recipes. Most everything else you can learn wherever you want.

This happens frequently, and I usually just send the crash reports over. Someone on Reddit suggested I create a forum thread instead next time. I often am doing something on my PC while I wait for the game to launch or patch, unfortunately this often leads to the launcher crashing. Usually it is nothing more than launching an explorer.exe process, closing a browser window, or sending an email. In the case of this crash, I was sending an email in Mozilla Thunderbird, which was already running before I attempted to launch the game.

I rarely if ever have crashes when actually playing the game, it is just the launcher/patcher.

For some of you, is the Free Look setting the opposite of where you had it set before? This can cause your camera to spin back to center when you start moving.

The angles of throw are off if you have the “snap ground targeting to current target” or whatever it is turned on. That was the reason I couldn’t hit anyone at all. It was causing all of my snowball to be aimed at their feet (or elsewhere for npcs). I’ve had much better luck with at least hitting other players by turning off that snap ground targeting option while snowballing.

Something is off with snowball targeting in general. They were just flying off in random directions at random npcs, even with auto-targeting disabled in the options menu. This also happened when I was trying to throw snowballs at players, I would attempt to throw a snowball at a player, and it would throw the snowball sideways randomly at an npc (while I had the player selected, and the cursor on them.)

I also tried to progress this elsewhere, and the snowballs just went flying over the heads of the skritt, or at other players. (despite having the skritt selected, standing on top of them, being in action camera, or numerous other things I could think of.)

I don’t know if all this is related or not. But I wasn’t having this problem when the wintersday patch first landed, only after the patch that caused the settings to start resetting.

I have an update on this. It is still broken, and while I believe the underlying cause may be having a long message of the day, ultimately it is something with the small interface size.

When I set the interface size back to normal in the options, it fixes this. I don’t feel this is a very good work around, as then nothing really fits very well on the screen, but it may explain why more people aren’t complaining about the issue.

So if ANET people are trying to recreate, set and edit several long messages of the day, so there is a history of them, set the interface to small, and then donate or build a bunch of stuff in your guild hall. You likely won’t be able to see it on your screen without moving it your guild tab off the screen.

Having the same/similar issue.

Possibly not the case here, but there is a substantial delay now between finishing the guild missions and getting the rewards (especially on challenges), we had several people used to the old system leave before getting their rewards.

Race/rush probably does need another look, we had a person that had to run the race several times before it would acknowledge that she finished it. It wasn’t her first time doing this, so I doubt she missed a flag on multiple run throughs with escorts.

The Guild History panel seems to be suddenly broken today, where it was working yesterday. The scroll bar seems to be one solid bar, instead of a smaller bar allowing for scrolling. The result being a large window that extends well beyond the game window for all the information, as well as the drop down to select the filter. It could be there is something in our guild info that is causing this, but that still seems like it shouldn’t be possible. I can’t even move the window to see the top of it with some of the filters selected.

The other Guild Panels seem to be working.

I’ve made it a point to not open the guild panel and any guild hall windows at the same time due to the lag and crashes. I shouldn’t have to make this choice/workaround, but for now, it works. It gets even worse if I try to look at the map and see where my fellow gold dots are on the map at the same time.

I’ve seen this quite a bit as well, usually followed closely by a crash. Crash reports were filed.

Same thing for any normal experience you gain in WvW, not applied to any mastery track unfortunately.

I feel like I’ve gained all sorts of experience from various sources since HoT dropped that have been wasted in various forms.

After claiming our guild hall, I keep getting a message that “A new version of your map is available” or that “Your map is closing” like all the players have left the map, and when I hit the okay to go to the new map, instead of going to the new guild hall map, most of the time it is kicking me to the previous map, not to a new Guild Hall map. Is this intended behavior?

Lost Precipice if it matters.

So by less erratic, does that mean it won’t be constantly dropping me off all those ledges on the newer PvE maps?

It is accessed through the Silverwastes, it takes place after Living Story Chapter 2 and the Personal Story, so it is expected that your characters will be level 80.

But you won’t be able to create characters in the Heart of Thorns, you will be able to create characters in the same game world you always have been able to and travel to the new zones. So all new characters should start at level 1 in the old starter zones.

I’m not sure if it is a bug or intentional, but along with the jumping straight on hammer 3, the pathing on the leaps seems wonky, making it almost completely useless on the new PvE map, it repeatedly dropped me off the edges of cliffs.

After playing through several of the beta weekends, I have to say that I’m not opposed to the mastery system, but if what we were shown in the latest beta is representative of how it is working, I’d vote for some small tweaks. I’d drastically decrease the amount of experience needed for the base gliding skill. Gliding is so integral to my experience with HoT so far, that running around without it just wasn’t fun. Maybe it was the lack of events in the last beta weekend, but it felt like a chore getting that up. I didn’t mind it so much with the bouncing mushrooms, because at least on the part of the maps we had they were more of a shortcut than a required mode of transport, and I had gliding to move around between events.

I’d even consider unlocking gliding with the story instance or with some other tutorial like event instead of an experience grind. Outside of that, masteries seemed much improved, and I wasn’t throwing experience into an empty track like the early betas.

I saw something similar to this in the most recent patch notes, but I just tried this again on my free account and it is still broken.

I created a free account to play around with, and I attempted to sell an item, and of course I came up with a message indicating I couldn’t do so. But the reasons I couldn’t sell weren’t entirely clear as the text was cut off. I was playing in a (large) window and my interface size was set to small.

Also to note, I wasn’t able to use the /bug feature to report this, as this “error” window does not allow you access to the chat window while it is displayed.

Out of abject curiosity, are you positive you have your monitor plugged into your graphics card and not into your mother board?

There is a situation in this game where it will have an area that will be coded to have for example 5 enemies but only 3 spawn points, so enemies instantly or quickly respawn (even behind you) as you clear them out, but not infinitely. This may be some of what you’re seeing.

I gave up years ago filing reports on the audio mixing in this game. Unless it is something with missing dialogue, in which case, several people have bug reports in the HoT forums.

I would prefer if they had some sort of indicator of where they were going to send you, or at least a direction. I was doing the event where you have to gather the wyvern eggs on the cliffs, and most of the mushrooms propelled you up the cliffs a bit farther, making it a useful mastery, but one random mushroom was apparently aimed the other direction and shot players into the canyon below. I wasn’t able to glide out of the spinning animation, so this was a death sentence. There was no way I was able to tell in advance that this was a mushroom I shouldn’t step on. I don’t know if this was a bug or a feature, but it was annoying either way.

Several other mushroom jumps I had to repeat a few times depending on where I started them and if I was attempting to steer them, which also caused me to become stuck a few times.

I don’t know that I’d put much if any player variation into these, as they are an unlock, and you are then adding in lag variance. In my ideal vision of this, you hit interact once and a little arc would appear showing the path to the destination, and you’d hit interact again, and the mushroom would take you there, assuming you were on top of it. If you attempted to move your character or hit escape, it would cancel.

Candy Corn Gobbler @ the wiki Probably not updated yet to reflect the patch.

I know this item was created to get rid of excess candy corn on the market, and I don’t have John Smith’s numbers, but the prices have hovered around the same level for months and months, and I can’t imagine the latest change is going to do a whole lot to help it. The change to durations of the new boosts have made this item even more of a pain in the kitten to use. For those of you that don’t have this item, it randomly either gives you a random boost from a list or transforms you into a halloween creature.

Now the issue with this item isn’t that it turns you into a creature or that it gives the new boosts, it is that it gives the new boosts with a much lower timer than before, so you get the new boost for 7 or 10 minutes and you still have the same cooldown between tries. So if you want to stack up an hour or two of boosts to run around in WvW with the 50% experience bonus, you’re going to be clicking for a lot longer and running into that internal cooldown between each time you’re allowed to try to have the gobbler eat candy corn.

I’m not proposing that it be any cheaper to get the boosts, or that they necessarily up the time of the new boosts on the gobbler, I’m sure they had good reason for the numbers vs. the candy corn cost, but please consider adjusting the ICD between uses or eliminating it altogether so it isn’t such a pain to use. This might also go with the hand health posts that have been popular lately. I think a lot of players that have this item have given up on using it because it is just such a kitten to use.

Throwing food at the Nuhoch

It wasn’t even entirely clear that this was what you were supposed to do. I saw the baskets, but it wasn’t clear they were for that event stage. At first I was just waiting for him to finish his speech as he converted the frogs, as that would be what would have happened in most of the original GW2 game. Eventually a few of us just started throwing food, but it really wasn’t clear at all that it was the intended action. Or maybe I was tired and am misremembering what the event instructions said.

Some feedback animation, and perhaps a much clearer event description would have helped immensely.

Also after the successful event, whichever frog was walking out and talking, his speaking lines kept getting cut off too early by his next set of lines.

Does anyone have a good screenshot of the glider skin they could post?

Sorry about the hat, and being on an Asura, but hopefully it will work?

Apparently the Heart of Thorns Glider that you get for pre-ordering causes most of the tonics I’ve tried to render in a really messed up vertical blob of various sizes. See the quaggan picture I posted above. I don’t have access to a ton of tonics in my bank, so mainly the mystery tonics, quaggan, xmas tonics, monkey king. The only one that didn’t really mess up on me with the pre-order Glider was the Toy Soldier tonic, it rendered a horizontal glider, and his gun.

Most of the rest of my tonics are on other characters, and of course I can’t access the TP with beta characters.

Yep, I left it in my bank until this weekend and used it on a beta character and now I’m able to use it on that character.

I think the intro level glider and bouncing mushroom skills maybe should be shortened a bit, unless they are going to make a lot more events available. The map is fairly miserable to move through without those two skills. After that, they can adjust as they see fit.

I missed the initial group/train of players when I went into the map. And ran around for over an hour and only saw one event. So the only experience I had toward my glider mastery was enemy experience, and that was taking forever.

Now that I’ve finally grinded out the glider and bouncing mushroom trait, the maps are much more fun to play around with.

Really, they should have just had an NPC teach you the basics of gliding, start you with the glider basics skill, and then work from there.

Brother Dulfite.5793:

I want to fly with my Quagon tonic! Quagon can fly, yes?

Quaggan can glide, but at what cost?

Your beta character copies your normal account at its creation. So if you delete your beta character and recreate it, it should have as many transmutation shards as your normal account. At least it worked this way in previous betas. You can probably test this in one of your other beta slots.

Several of the NPC’s just flat out weren’t talking in the cutscenes for me. I could see the dialogue scrolling past, but the first several lines they spoke weren’t being voiced.

What are the CPU/GPU and related temperatures looking like with the game running?

I’m assuming the screenshot you posted isn’t with the game running, or you have a lot bigger problem with your clock multiplier at 7×.

Also, it is recommended in general to turn reflections down a notch, until you get everything resolved, it tends to kill frame rates and provide minimum graphical boosts.

There are a few programs out there that fix the debounce of the mouse buttons while they are running. This may temporarily fix or cover up your problem. Cleaning your mouse may help as well. Ultimately however replacing the switches in the mouse or your mouse itself may be required.

It isn’t every item either, I don’t know if it is just heavily traded items or something else, but it seems to happen more frequently on high volume items.

Are you just alt-tabbing out and then back in? It is a hard thing to troubleshoot randomly. Are you loading a web browser?

Try running the game in Windows Fullscreen instead of regular Fullscreen. Update your graphics drivers? If you’re using a shader suite (sweet fx, gem fx, reshade) try either disabling those, or make sure you don’t have anti-aliasing on in game as well as the shader suite.

There is some serious delay pulling data from the backend. I’ve almost sold several items for hugely incorrect values due to a combination of the hover over selection of fields and the delay in letting me change the values I actually want to due to how slow the TP is to pull data from the servers on some (although not all) items. I don’t remember having this problem until recently (feature patch?).

We’ve been doing it every week for months (how long have guild missions been out?), and it has never been like this.

I’ve never seen scaling this bad in a guild mission.

But the new grenadier traits don’t seem to affect barrage, 100% throwing speed and explosion radius.

The short silent track no longer randomizes my playlists, which did change recently. So I hear the same songs, in the same order, every time I log in. I’m not sure if this also broke the night time lists or not.

And that has been happening at least 2 weeks, if not longer.

Forum Bug Report by Me

Are you sure the missing area you uncovered isn’t one you may have already uncovered on an alt? This one can be tricky due to the overlapping nature of alt accounts and the map.

I was browsing the Trading Post earlier and when hovering over the dyes it was no longer giving me any indication on whether or not I had the dye unlocked. The same thing holds true if someone pings a dye in chat.

This seems like a significant regression in behavior.

It also happens if you use a tonic that transforms you.

I don’t know if this is related or not, but the dyes don’t tell you if they are unlocked when chat linked or hovered over in the Trading Post anymore either. Interlocking systems and all that fun.

I’ve been using a Custom Play List for quite a while, and by having a short blank track at the top of my lists it has generally allowed most of the playlists to play random song selections when I play. I know a few of the playlists never randomized correctly, like the menu screen, but most of the other ones worked before, or at least seemed to.

But recently I added some more music to my playlist right beneath that blank track in the m3u file, and it is playing every time I log into Lion’s Arch. Each track, in order, without fail, no randomization. Each m3u has about 20 different songs in it, so statistically I should be hearing something else other than the first few songs as I log in and check my various parked characters.

Is anyone else getting non-random custom music everywhere now? What changed and when?

Tl;DR: Custom music still works, isn’t randomized anymore, why not?

The consortium is obviously up to something lately. Maybe they could sell some tools to these lucky laborers from the company store, or extend them some credit out of the goodness of their hearts.

If you find yourself using your bow a lot and having this problem, you could try auto-targeting. Just be careful with leaps and cliffs.

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

This isn’t “good enough”. My focus has shifted temporarily to the Stronghold open beta for sPvP tomorrow. But even so I and other programmers have been looking at source code searching for reasons why some people standing right next to each other have lag and some don’t. Right now that’s the big mystery. As programmers we don’t like it when performance is inconsistent; if it was always lagging for everyone it would be easier to debug but alas that is not the case.

Can you also look and see if these performance blips and server catchups are also affecting PvE when you get back to it? Ever since the stability patch hits, I’ve been seeing the same sort of unresponsive skills, and the server randomly playing catchup after the action seems to be done while the game is showing a healthy ping during busy world boss events. Just pick a busy world, watch for a daily world boss, and prime time. I never had these problems in PvE or WvW until the Stability patch hit, so it may be worth looking at the PvE side as well.

I get good framerates, and 80-120 ms pings during all this, it is just the game world that becomes unresponsive, or erratic.

I haven’t had an issue in WvW in probably a year until the recent patch. I’ll have my options window open, and of course my ping will be 60-80 ms, but everyone is just standing still or my skills aren’t going off randomly. Then everything is fine for 5 minutes.

I’m on SoR, so we don’t really see huge numbers causing issues most of the time anymore.
