Guild Wars 2

Funnily enough, today I re-created my ticket from several months ago regarding this exact issue. The previous response was ‘we are working to get this resolved as soon as possible’ and ‘follow game updates for more info’. This didn’t work, so I am waiting for an update from them, too. :/

AntiGw.9367:

The new recipes cannot be discovered, they are dropped by mobs or something.

There are plenty of them on tp as well.

I can assure you they can be discovered, both of those I have simply created in the discovery mode:

AntiGw.9367:

The other two ingredients:

• Parsley Leaf – 5 Stick of butter – 2 Bottle of Rice Wine – Bowl of Fancy Tangy Sautee Mix
• 5 Garlic – Cayenne Pepper – 5 Saffron Thread – Pile of Ascalonian Herbs

Problem is that after crafting Walnut Crumble Topping, I can’t use it for discovering the new food – it just doesn’t show up on discovery list.

All the NPCs disappeared just after the patch on Far Shiverpeaks. We figure it was planned in the patch and luckily I didn’t need those to finish the monthly achievement. But anyone who was planning on finishing this today has a problem now :/

Yeah, I even submitted a ticket regarding this, unfortunately all response I got was ‘we are aware and working on it’. Problem is, that was almost two months ago (and the issue itself is ongoing for at least several months more).

From today’s patch notes:
The great jungle wurm can no longer be killed before its event starts. Increased the scaling cap on the wurm.
It seems that they did scale it up a bit, can anyone verify if there’s any difference?

Just went through the patch notes and there is absolutely no mention of this fix… Has anybody tested it already?

I wouldn’t reinstall the client just yet, this seems to be a bigger problem affecting most of the players & guilds… See here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Missing-Guild

For me the clipping occurs even when the char is standing still, which does look kinda horrible
I even checked what would happen if I put ‘bigger’ dress on (e.g. masquerade set) and in that case, the greatsword disappeared completely :/

By no means I would think you were trying to troll Neither am I, by the way, which is why I have just submitted the support ticket (even though it wasn’t my thread in the first place). Unfortunately, I don’t have my hopes up, as my history with support team says that the issues are actually fixed in 1 out of 2 tickets

As for the Griffonrook Run, I believe the idea there is to evade the griffons, not fight them. And yes, you can do all the jumps if you evade the enemies. With that being said, this is not one of the easiest jumping puzzles and I think this was the devs’ plan. If you have a problem finishing it alone, just take sb with you – they will run ahead and kill the griffons so that you don’t have any problem with the jumps.
And btw – any speed skills help there, a lot. We have confirmed it

WatchTheShow.7203:

If that’s the jumping puzzle where there are falling rocks you have to run across, then I know what you need to do. There are 2 acheievements for this puzzle. The first acheievement you get for falling and dying when the rocks fall from underneath you. The second acheievement you get for completing the whole puzzle.

The one you are talking about is not in Wayfarer Foothills, but in Harathi Hinterlands (it’s called Fawcett’s Bounty). The one mentioned here I believe is Shaman’s Rookery – and speaking of no achievement – are you sure you haven’t done it before on any other character? Check your jumping puzzle achievements if it’s possible
As for the bugged skill point, this is unfortunately a known issue. The common solution is to guest on another servers and try there. For my alt, it worked on Piken Square, but it might have changed since (I completed it like 3 weeks ago).

Necrid.2705:

User testing on a one on one basis with the devs is the best way to see quick fixes.

Of course, although the steps have been provided and the issue has been reproduced already after the initial post. That’s as much user testing as is required, we are not the devs.

Necrid.2705:

It was with the direct support of users willing to submit DxDiag reports, server traceroutes, and settings testing. The combined effort of the Players and the Anet Team with the mountains of data provided from a variety of us on different networks, different locations, routing different pathways, on different stations, on different specs… etc. was what lead directly to us having an answer. Since it was impossible for Anet to test out where the breaks were coming from without testing every single network in every state globally (i use the non-US definition of state).

I am all in for providing the dxdiag and any other information that might be required. Problem is – nobody asked for it, I haven’t noticed any interest from the devs to investigate this issue.

Necrid.2705:

Testing out different settings and finding out that your shaders (for example) are causing the lockup, will allow the devs to know to look at their shader coding (for purposes of example) and narrow down the results.

This, “the ball is in your park” mentality isn’t going to get you your desired result quickly. While it is their product, it is extremely hard to reproduce the countless billions of software/hardware combinations that the game will ultimately be run on. (That why they do beta-testing and asked for your specs when you run a beta). They can’t foresee all, which is why you’re input could be the most important part of getting a permanent global fix in place.

Do the tests. See. Help. Be part of the solution. You have nothing to lose, and a faster fix to gain. :-)

Yes, and again, I don’t see any trouble in providing them with any information necessary. With that being said, I will not risk multiple system locks on my almost new PC, as this can cause many problems. I cannot afford repairs if anything happens and ArenaNet will not cover for it, you know? So as much as I want to help them, I cannot do it on my side. I have reproduced the issue, which can show them it is not an isolated case. I can provide them with all technical info if they need it, apparently they are not interested in this issue, though (otherwise, somebody from the Live Response Team would already show their interest in this thread). In my opinion, I have done as much as I can to find the problem as a user, not a game tester/dev on their payroll. It is not ‘ball is in your park’ attitude, this is just how this works.

This still doesn’t change the fact that the issue should be tested by the game devs, not users. Although I work as a game tester, it isn’t for ArenaNet and I don’t see why any of us should risk multiple system locks and resets (and whatever these can cause) on our private PCs. If any game/graphic setting is causing a system lock in certain circumstances, this should be identified (and fixed) on their side. We gave them steps to reproduce the problem, the rest is unfortunately their job.

Well, the issue seems to be fixed, so enjoy

I’ll copy what I posted in the other thread:
“From twitter:
‘We are aware of a login issue and are currently working to fix it, we would like to thank you for your patience at this time. ^AT’
‘We are looking into the login issues in the EU, sorry for the inconvenience. ^MK’”

So, I guess now we can only wait

They have added bigger FoV some time ago, if you want to lower it, you need to use “-useOldFov” command in the console. For more info see this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FOV-Field-of-View-Changes-Beta-Test-Feedback-Thread/page/11

Looking forwards to checking this build out, got kinda bored with all the long/short bow ones
BTW, by ‘Apothecary gear’, you mean all of it? As in weapons and armor? :>

Yeah, kitten you all, my videogame tester’s nature just made me check it and yeah, same thing happened. Never before I have double clicked to bring the game up from alt-tab, but it did actually make the whole system unusable now that I tried.
I really don’t think this is caused by insufficient specs, as I have i5-3570k, 16GB of RAM and nVidia 560Ti with 2GB VRAM, which afair is way beyond any requirements for GW2. The common thing here is Win7 64-bit, though.

Well, some of the screenshots are taken on elementalist char…

There is a new, hidden waypoint in Brisban added for the guild missions. Go to Gallowfields Waypoint and then SW from there, just along the edge of the map.

Illusion of Life is actually a revive skill – ‘Gives allies Illusion of Vengeance at the target location, allowing them to get up from downed and keep fighting. Fully revives allies if they kill a foe.’ It is simply not possible to kill somebody directly with this skill.

I know about Beaded underwater weapons: Lancea (which is supposed to be a spear) looks like a harpoon gun and Harpoon Shooter looks like spear.

I wrote it in another thread concerning that matter: as far as I remember, in the patch from 26. March they moved the guaranteed rare to the ‘additional chest’, which you can receive once a day per account. The also said, however, that to receive rares from the mega bosses, the character needs to be at least level 40, so in my opinion this works exactly as intended…

Race: Charr
Sex: Female
Class: Warrior
Armor: Warband Spaulders (charr cultural tier 1)
Issue: The armor piece is floating very far away from the character’s shoulders, which looks really bad.
Attachments:

Carrion Flame Staff (Charr cultural tier 2) particle effect & glow missing

I am using this staff (transmuted) on my norn elementalist, for some time the particle effect & glow are missing, even though they are visible on the character preview screen.

This seems like your graphic card problem, not the game. I would check the temperature of it, first of all, maybe it has some overheating problem. Other than that, I can only recommend to update the drivers, maybe this will help.

Have all of you made the events on chars with level higher than 40? If I understand correctly, the guaranteed chest is to contain a rare item and they’ve added these to patch notes: ‘We’ve limited rares in mega boss chests to require the player be level 40+ to receive them’. If that’s true, it would seem normal that this chest doesn’t pop up for a char on level 16…
I might be wrong, though, this is just my assumption. I can only confirm that I am getting all the chests on my lvl 80 toons and I’ve been doing almost all the mega events on them every day for the last week.

For me it has been stuck on 80/83 for months already. I submitted a ticket at the beginning of March, which has been closed by Support with a note ‘It looks like our Quality Assurance team has already been notified of the issues with the achievement not being properly awarded when all hints have been completed and are working to get this resolved as soon as possible.’ and ‘This incident cannot be reopened or updated’. Sooo, it seems they simply do not give a kitten :|

Djedefre.3580:

OK – new build patch installed a few minutes ago has fixed it in Far Shiverpeaks.

Many thanks

Unfortunately, it’s again broken on Far Shiverpeaks… Seems it only works for a while after a patch and then glitches again :/

Edit: I have also just checked Whiteside Ridge server, same issue. It has worked on Piken Square, though.
Edit2: Apparently it also worked for somebody on Vabbi server.

Chocofox.9503:

I have ran into the same issue. It seems if apatia dies during the fight at all hywel dies and falls through the cage floor dispearing. Also the new explosion abilty on the small platform is kinda a pain. get hit it knocks you off and instantly kills you

Tried 3 times today, it seems that whether or not Apatia dies doesn’t really make any difference. The NPC in the cage just simply disappears, regardless of the outcome of the fight with Krait Priestess.

As it is now, this quest is broken and doesn’t allow me to proceed with the story at all. Funilly enough, I completed it about two weeks ago on another character without any trouble, so it appears that this quest got broken in one of the recent updates… :/

In my case: all the hints are checked, yet the achievement is still showing 80/83…

Tome of Influence issue, ticket opened 08/26/2012 07:15 AM, ticket number 120826-008185. The only reply I’ve received since was template with ‘I apologize for any delay in responding’ on 11th September and again nothing since…

My ticket was opened on August 26th, the only reply I got was ’we’re sorry for the delay, will get back to you later’ message on the September, 11. No actual feedback since, though.
