Guild Wars 2

While this doesn’t effect me (who’s reasons for not being able to get some achievements were simply personal obligations), it’s nice to see Anet give out some sort of token to those who were effected by Sandy

Thanks for the response, Anet.

Also, the idea of archiving special event achievements (but not listing those not completed) is brilliant. I hope this is something that Anet will seriously consider.

Alright, thanks for the info. Will it be the same event next year? The same achievements? I really hate the idea that i’ll never ever be able to finish them off.

I had very little time to actually enjoy the event, as my university exams have been taking place for the entirety of it, but I spent a lot of my spare time trying to conquer the Clock Tower, and it was great. Except for the weird lag issues that would make me have to jump up to 5 seconds late to actually get through the face of the clock tower at the end, or when it would randomly ‘kill’ me when there was absolutely no way i’d fallen.

Since i’ve hardly had any time to play, I didn’t get to see a lot of the content in detail (never finished the PvP events, just went there to see what they were about and then left).

My biggest gripe was the dungeon. I can’t understand why it finished early. As I mentioned, i’ve been very busy for this whole thing, I haven’t been able to read news about a game, and the precious spare time I made for myself, I wanted to actually PLAY a game, not read about it – so I had absolutely no idea the dungeon was finishing early, and just assumed that I would have until the end of the event to do it. It’s my fault for thinking that, I know. I’m not blaming Anet for that. I just can’t see any decent explanation of why they would end the dungeon early (move the entrance from Lions Arch to the charr that takes you to the Clock Tower and stuff, sure.. But no reason to actually remove the content altogether). All I had to do to finish the Halloween achievements was GO to the dungeon. That’s it. Almost managed to get them all :P

I’ve had university exams for this entire event, and my last one finished at 9pm last night. I figured I could rush my way through all of the content today, get all the achievements and stuff.. But now i’ve finished all of the achievements except for “It’s A Mad Kings World” and it seems I can’t finish that anymore because I can’t access the dungeon..

Is there really no way to access the dungeon anymore?

Many PC gamers these days have mice with often 2 or more extra buttons. I’d really like the option to use these buttons in combination with keyboard. For example, i’d love to have:
1-5 = weapon abilities
mouse button 4 + 1-5 = 6-0 abilities
mouse button 5 + 1-5 = F1-F5 abilities

I believe this would help smooth out the combat experience for players who feel more comfortable with that sort of setup. With my keyboard, my F1-F5 keys are too far away from the WASD keys that I cannot keep strafing when I want to use them, and must rely on left + right mouse click to make sure I am at least moving in some sort of direction. Likewise with using utility & elite skills with the default bindings, you need to make a decision between strafing, or letting go of your mouse to press the buttons, and this mouse + keyboard combination possibility with keybindings would solve those issues.
