Guild Wars 2

Same here. Mine is also porting me to Koda’s Welcome instead of Sorrow’s Eclipse after after binding my portal scroll to the Living World Portal Tome. I, also, am slightly upset with this bug. The portal scroll should port to near the WP nearest the unbound magic vendor.

Hmmm…unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, the last one obsoletes the Royal Terrace Pass, if I read the description correctly. I don’t have the last item, which might be my favorite unless this low gravity feature is annoying. Of the previous convenience items, I like Lava Lounge the best since it isn’t crowded (possibly too spread out) and it isn’t instanced, so you can keep up with the current Ember Bay events.

I’d likely vote for the last too, if I had it, and I didn’t realize the Airship was named Havoc’s Heir until I looked it up. Of the previous convenience items I think Lava Lounge is my favorite. It’s actually part of Ember Bay, not instanced, and it isn’t too crowded; if anything it might be a bit too spread out. I would favor Noble’s Folly if it weren’t instanced, but it is.

Actually, I only submitted a bug report slightly before I started this thread. I didn’t bother to submit a support ticket, given the time required to do that and do any follow up. I rarely look at my out-of-game email, so if you have any questions concerning the bug report, in game is probably the best way to contact me.

I put up 37 toxic spores for sale last night, and it showed in my selling transactions. Today, it does not show in my selling transactions, or in history, and there was also no gold to pick up from the TP for any sale of the items. I advise anyone selling anything of any value to hold off for a bit or take a screenshot of your transaction as soon as it appears in current.

Feedback on actual performance during stress tests:
One crash during first one with graphics setting at best performance except fro rendering sample was set at native, character model limit at high and Character model quality at low. I’m not even sure what I was doing at the time except trying to back up, given my crash report had an errant “ss” in the text box. The crash was totally with out any warning….no excessive lag or anything. I set my graphics on the second test to “autodetect” for my nVidia GTX760, but only played for approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes of the test. There were no crashes and no perceivable lag spikes. I did not actually check my FPS (my bad). Things definitely seemed to run smoother in this playable demo than in the normal game. The current live game appears slightly framey at the higher settings.

Oh yeah….one other problem that I forgot to mention. I did not receive an invitation email. I don’t know what happened to mine. My spam folder is disabled so I have no idea whether the issue was that the email got misdirected or my ISP has a problem with ANet. Who knows? I have seen this happen with emails from other game companies. I am just hoping I get the heads up through other channels if it happens again, as I did this time.

It was pretty fun but also pretty confusing. It said that “The Torching Tendrils Adventure” was available, but I couldn’t find that. Some people got 3 mastery points total, but I could only come up with 2 after doing story and as many events as I could find. I also allocating one point to gliding and one to bouncing mushrooms but only gliding worked when equipped. Don’t know what I am doing wrong.

Next, the UI. Being a clicker, I was a bit disturbed by the placement of the mastery panel trigger across the entire bottom of the screen where the experience bar is. Any lag issues will tend to cause the mastery panel to open unexpectedly while trying to click on weapon or utility skills. Also, given that dealing with masteries seems to be pretty clunky, I totally expected it to be with the rest of the tabs in the hero panel, in tune with the current game UI design.

The fights didn’t seem too difficult or easy for the necro I built. I actually did not change anything from the default traits and gear supplied other than the heal.

btw, Arizona and Hawaii are the only U.S. states that do not observe Daylight Savings time.

Yep…that’s what I concluded….3 pm EDT. Thanks. If what you say is the case, then it’s Pacific Daylight Time as opposed to Pacific Standard Time. I’ll go with that.

So I assume it’s PDT?

Oh….thanks…..I forgot that server time had been changed. I haven’t used the server clock in years in this game.

About Donari’s post, yes they actively looking for bugs, but do NOT do what I did one time in a beta. I and a friend discovered a exploit bug and did not report it. We moved objects around in the game for four days with the developers trying to figure out what was happening. People had been reporting items disappearing from their packs and the developers were sidetracked trying to tie the objects we placed with the missing items. This was obviously in my younger years. I don’t even know how much money was wasted looking for the connection between the two phenomena. No one caught us, but we did fess up after 4 days via posting an image of the crime. We got a scolding and a ROFLMAO from the devs, but this kind of behavior does delay the release of software expansions.

I don’t know if anyone asked this, but is the beta 12 noon PST or PDT? Is it 12 noon server time, or one hour off that. I’m asking because I’m on Eastern Daylight Time and the server clock is, for some odd reason 4 hours off local time, not 3. I would have thought server would be running on PDT, but maybe the servers are “exceptional”

I run two monitors with the GW2 client in full screen mode on one monitor and the Dulfy.net world boss timer on the other. This issue has just cropped up again in the last day. I used to have the issue all the time on my old machine, but never on this one (6 months old with nVidia GTX760 card). The only thing I have installed or patched in the last couple days has been the GW2 game and the graphics card drivers from the nVidia website. I do not have a window lock key on this keyboard, but that was a solution that worked on my last one. I know there are some software solutions, but given that the game was behaving fine on this machine for the previous 6 months, I am reluctant to mask the symptoms that are obviously the result of a bug in someone’s software. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Maybe some change in the interaction of the game with Windows 7 64-bit?

Honestly, it’s not any worse than other extreme clipping issues with outfits and hairstyles. I think the problem is that the gap on this one may be too narrow for some hairstyles, but it’s still better than some outfits with no gap in the back of the collar (see attached screen of noble count outfit on human female).

If it’s in a bag, the loot items are generated when the bag is opened.

Nope…hard enough getting 5 people together to do something effectively, and LFGing would not work for raid style 10 man. Look at Tequatl as an example of how hard it sometimes is to organize things. People don’t want to volunteer in general, and everyone hates the waiting around.

Oh….sorry…I thought you meant the ones for the Festival. The regular dailies are mostly fine, except for on double fractal days. Also, cramming people onto one map to do events is not very fun for anyone. Maybe two zones instead of one might work a bit better.

Chances are I won’t do a whole set of these dailies unless I can manage to figure out the pseudo PvP pretty quickly. I could barely stomach having to do bell choir every day for Wintersday, and practice on that did not make me any better. I really feel sorry for anyone who was listening to me.

No. I already try to leave the PvP lobby as quickly as possible due to the excessive rudeness in map chat.

Is there any chance that there can be some in game communication of new content? I just found out about the festivities in Divinity’s Reach several hours after the patch via SilverWastes map chat, and I would have totally missed the new content if someone hadn’t linked a new item. Content in the past was heralded by something in the game splash page titles or an in-game email. I am quite upset that I found out about the new dailies too late to do them. How do I find out about new content without haunting websites I consider to have suspect security or requiring an account? I was just under the impression that the extent of the year of the ram celebrations was new gem store content and the MF buff because that was the only change in the game that was noticeable from where I logged in. I could easily have missed the whole festival if I had made one of the other cities my primary in-game home as some people have.

Already tried that…and did a repair on the data cache only a few days ago when we were DCing a lot, just in case there was any corrupted data causing the DC issue on this end.

Maybe it’s some kind of display error, given it looks like the numbers would be about right if the platinum and silver doubloon numbers that I have now were reversed.

Actually, I go through everyone’s inventory looking for crafting materials all the time. As a policy, I never move silver doubloons out of my bank. I just add to the stack. I assume I didn’t notice it before because I hadn’t added to it in a long time. I have a screenshot of my bank from September 9th showing 37 silver doubloons and 39 platinum ones.

I’m thinking there may be a slot in my bank (field in the db) that has a problem? I did have some of a single item go missing on an occasion previously about 9 months ago.

I have been saving silver doubloons for roughly a year to build The Juggernaut. Today, I checked how many I had, expecting to see roughly 40, but there were only 7. They are not included in anything I would craft, other than the vial of quicksilver, and I never sell any of any kind of doubloons, so I am wondering what is going on. I honestly haven’t noticed anything else going missing recently, but then I’m not in the habit of reconciling the contents of my bank every day although maybe I should be.

Can I even remove it? Don’t know.

Should I leave this thread or remove it?

Got it. Thanks.

I’ve been looking for hours now and nothing….

I’ve been running around in the dungeon after completing it waving my sword at everything, raining arrows and entangling, and I still can’t get the achievement. Given that the achievement this year does not indicate your progress toward the achievement, I can’t tell whether it’s bugged or not, or how close I am to completing it. Has anyone completed this achievement, and where did you find the last few items to destroy?

I have a big question. I paid roughly 9 gold for my vigil armor, not including upgrades. I can’t seem to salvage it or put it in the mystic forge. What am I supposed to do with it when I no longer it for stats, but only for the skin? It seems such a waste to pay so much for a merely rare set and not even be able to salvage it or toss it in the forge. I guess I’ll have to have someone with particular armor pieces check their salvageability before I apply any upgrades to any pieces, or perhaps even prior to buying armor or weapons.

I checked my critical chance in and out of deathshroud… 20% out of death shroud, 20% in death shroud. Obviously, this grandmaster trait does not work AT ALL. I re-traited specifically for this, sacrificing all of my normal defensive trait points.

Yep…same here…two Plush Griffon recipes and no Toy Golem one. Roughly 7 gold for the duplicate recipe. I’m pretty sure that the duplicate recipe will give you just more plush griffons, so I wouldn’t bother making any more of those. If you have the recipes for the other three endless tonics, you could try combining those with the plush griffon one you have to get a toy golem one, if that recipe still yields that on failure. I have heard some people say you can’t combine them any more, so unless you are willing to get stuck with the 4 tonics that are not the toy golem…..

I looked and can confirm that the recipe from the wiki does not seem to work now.

I bought Recipe: Endless Toy Golem Tonic. When I applied it to my Artificer, he all of a sudden had a recipe for the Endless Plush Griffon Tonic. Meanwhile, the recipe for the Endless Toy Golem Tonic is nowhere to be found in my recipe list but the tooltip for the Recipe in the Trading Post says I have already learned it. BTW, the Recipe for the Endless Plush Griffon Tonic, the recipe that I never bought, does actually produce the Endless Plush Griffon Tonic. Is the Recipe: Endless Plush Griffon Tonic on the Trading Post producing Endless Plush Griffon Tonics, or is it giving the recipe for the Endless Toy Golem Tonic and producing Endless Toy Golem Tonics when used?

Honestly, as a female myself, I like the newer animation better. The old one looked like my character was intentionally trying to break the pavement with her feet or her feet with the pavement. It also had her center of gravity/mass moving side to side, making me expect that she was going to fall over sideways any moment from an amplification of the harmonic resonance. I find the running animation for the Sylvari females even more appealing in its fluidity.

I can verify that it has nothing to do with how much damage you do to her. I had just zoned my Ele into Lornar’s Pass to do the events and no one else was around. Scarlet spawned right on top of me and I ran without firing. She then spawned on top of me in excess of a dozen times, mostly when I was running from event to event, resulting in 3 deaths.

My question is, “Did you all complete Scarlet’s Playhouse?” My husband has pointed out some threatening language used by Scarlet after you defeat her the final time in the Playhouse.

btw, the character stalked by Scarlet was not the one I completed the Playhouse with.

I went through the support account retrieval process. I DID receive the one giving me my username. I DID NOT receive the one to reset my password. Please advise.

I agree with the previous poster that the poll needs to be modified with a “Did not do.” answer available. Also, given that Living Story achievements that we didn’t work on no longer appear in the UI, I think a description of the achievement might make doing the poll speedier.

I really hate the current living story content. It makes me motion sick and makes my hands and wrists hurt from all the jumping around for hours. In addition, I haven’t been able to complete any but one or two of the achievements without referring to a third party guide. That isn’t a game, that’s a research exercise that is extra hard because my computer can’t play flash videos (takes about 10 minutes to load a webpage if Flash is enabled). I really have doubts as to my ability to finish the achievements sufficiently in the time allotted. I spent an hour yesterday trying to find sky crystals and couldn’t actually spot any other than the 5 I had gotten 2 or 3 days ago. If I can’t find a single crystal in an hour, there is no way I can do hardly any of THAT content without referring to a guide. In addition, I’m afraid of heights, so Obsidian Sanctum in the dark room is more enjoyable than being up on the sky ship. Why is almost all the content this time designed to make me ill? Shouldn’t there be enough variety in content for everyone to be able to do it? BTW, I have over 3300 hours of game play and 9 level 80, all classes, so it’s not like I can’t play, although I really haven’t touched PvP or dungeons hardly because I am direction challenged (run around in circles while thinking I’m running straight, LOL).

Oh yeah, ….I’m not that good at JPs either. I don’t mind JPs being optional for standard chest rewards, but making them mandatory for time limited special rewards is just wrong, IMHO. I did do Spekk’s Lab, but I needed another person to trigger the platforms behind me because I couldn’t turn fast enough on the platforms, or see the platforms ahead quick enough.

No. Those achievements are no longer available.
BTW, I didn’t get to finish those either.

Honestly, as a player with 3304 hours of game play, I would only like to see temporary content around holidays. I have 9 level 80 characters but I haven’t finished a single legendary weapon due to the constant intrusion of temporary content that demands my attention. Also, the temporary content makes many zones almost totally devoid of player life, other than bots, by sucking everyone into the temp content areas, making many events and some skillpoints virtually impossible to complete without having to call in help from friends. I would like to be able to form informal groups with people already in the zone, but there sometimes ARE NO PEOPLE, other than me and some bots, it seems.

Why not create permanent content but just don’t tell us where it is, so that we have to actually go run around the world, and populate it, to find it? You’ve done it before. I still have exploration achievements to do. I just finished Vexa’s Lab yesterday, and have found 2 or 3 areas that I had never seen before in recent weeks. The temporary content is so separate from the rest of the world that it really does not make the world seem living, only that there are two different worlds running.

I also find this rift in the community growing between those who are tired of being pressured into doing the temp content in a really too short a period of availability (and please ANet, communicate in the game concerning when content will be no longer available, as some of us have reading speed issues), and those who run to finish the temp content in the first day and then whine the other 13 days about nothing to do. People will do a dungeon and refer to a mechanic that has only been seen in the temp content and you lose half the party because half the party didn’t do that content. Many people resent not being able to go anywhere on their 2 week vacation because they might miss something in the game. Also, people who have given up on the temporary content are running low on achievements to do.

Given the emphasis on jumping recently, I haven’t been able to do enough of the content to get the rewards from the temp content, so I’m thinking it’s a waste of time for me to even try. It seems that so many achievements are required for the meta-achievement in each living story segment that there is only ONE WAY to get it. If I have to be good at everything in the game to complete the temp content, can someone tell me a reason to waste my time trying? I keep trying to be diplomatic about this, but I keep getting angrier writing this and with each patch.

Icon and name of fine quality crafted Pillaging Leather Shoulders is incorrectly displayed as Pillaging Outlaw Shoulders on tooltip and hero panel. Level for item is correct. Not sure if this has been previously mentioned.

Hmmm…I would like my display name changed. Can ANet please change mine to “Schrodingers Chupacabra”? I was rushed into making an account and didn’t notice the typos because I thought it didn’t accept the account and then tried to correct the spelling and found out the mess-up was already finalized. This was 2-3 days before launch. I’ll probably post a ticket on it soon, as it is a thorn in my side having a kittened up name in the game and on the forums. My being on people’s contacts list isn’t important enough for that to be a barrier to the change, IMHO.

I’ve had this issue for a week or two while changing zones. I’ve never had the problem before.
