Guild Wars 2

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Mesmer-Bugs-33-Updated-October-22nd/first

Known for many many months…..

Same thing applies to backpieces on clones too.

I think it was foolish of us to believe that the writing would improve after the Scarlet debacle. I don’t think I’ve been so irritated by a game since I played Tales of Graces F.

Still far from being perfect. If you kitten up an achievement, you’re forced to kill what you’re fighting before you can reset it. Just the usual kitten approach from ArenaNet.

The Belinda story didn’t make any sense. Why is she special? Why did she stay behind as ghost? Why was Marjory gifted with Calabolg 2.0? Shouldn’t the player character be gifted with something? I don’t feel like I exist as a player character in this living story.

Why is Kasmeer even part of Destiny’s Edge 2.0? She’s absolutely useless all the time. Downed during the final boss fight. Typical.

I did not enjoy the Hidden Arcana. I do not mind the occasional nod to Guild Wars one lore but this was excessively pointless. I have been playing Guild Wars since July 2005. I do not need a refresher course in basic lore. After two years I would like to think that you would want to flesh out the current world of Guild Wars 2. You mention things like the tengu and you elude to them possibly fleeing, but thats about it. Sigh.

What happened to the baby dragon in Eye of the North? Surely this should somehow be relevant now since the Master of Peace is claiming he has the last egg. Are we just going to pretend that doesn’t exist?

Vekk’s Thesis and The Six: Being or Playing God couldn’t have existed back in Guild Wars 1 because there wasn’t any lore at the time that talked about the elder dragons.

Also, its Prince Rurik not Rurick. -_-

Its a teleporter whether or not you want to believe it.

Its been happening for months. Nothing can be done about it.
I reported it. Got no response. Even posted on the forum.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/LFG-tool-not-functioning-correctly/

I’ve only seen this happen at the Viscount. The projectile hits you while you’re trying to blink forward and then it turns you around. You eat the knockback mid-blink.When blink fails elsewhere its never like this. (Ex. You use blink and you don’t move from your location.)

I don’t know why you’re using blink for that fight anyway. Mantra of concentration, mantra of resolve and feedback are all you need to get it done.

I thought I’d make an attempt to drag some of my alts through Living Story Season 2.

Lo and behold this utter complete bullkitten is still going on. People are still farming this kittenty event and intentionally failing it.

kittening fix it. You’ve had more than enough kittening time to do it.

It seems to fail to attack things like Tequatl’s fingers. I haven’t tested it on other similar objects. (Ex. Ac burrows.) I haven’t seen it fail to attack a normal mob yet.

I’ve also noticed that when you summon iwarden, it decides it wants to switch targets and run to a different target. So..I guess thats not fixed.

GoldenScythe.3157:

Seriously, I have to ask, what on earth were they thinking when they implemented this believing it would be an improvement??

That’s just it. They didn’t care to stop and think how this patch would effect the player base. They don’t care about building a fan base that would last them for years to come. This started when they kitten on everything that Guild Wars 1 was and gave us Guild Wars 2. They want to make a quick buck to get them through the day and that’s it. I’ve been trying to look past it, deny it, etc but after two years and this patch, I just can’t anymore.

I can not wait to dance on their grave. It will take a few years for them to get to this point, but its definitely coming.

Sethren.8472:

Kirito.9207:

Interesting that they’re focusing on torment and not confusion for Mesmer with scepter.

True. I like torment better, personally. A mesmer causing mental torment/anguish. It fits.

Confusion used to be on the scepter during betas. I like the mesmer being in charge of pain. Although I miss the kitten ed if you, kitten ed if you don’t gameplay from the first game.

I’d like to see confusion reworked to be like wastrel’s worry/demise in gw1. Except this time I’d like to see it be balanced. :P

No new ingame armor sets you say?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_armor

Not to mention the numerous pve LS meta rewards. Scarlet’s headgear, gauntlets, that hideous shoulder thing, etc.

Elidath.5679:

I don’t get all this “nothing/tooltip fixes again in the LS update” negativity. LS update are not meant to carry significant bug/balance fixes, only story progression. Why should there be anything other than some random easy fix like the tooltip ones? It is like people are complaining they didn’t get a burger when they fill their car’s gas tank :/
Now, complaining bug/balance fixes are too far from each other is legitimate, mind you. But I don’t see how it relate in any way with LS updates.

Because time and time again bug fixes for other professions go in with Ls updates. Mesmer always gets shafted hard.

For example, the golden child, warrior, had this fixed yesterday.

Reckless Dodge:
Fixed a bug that prevented the damage from this trait from being attributed to Reckless Dodge in the combat log.

No one is expecting all the mesmer fixes to happen over night. iWarden has been broken since November. Its inexcusable. It should have been fixed many months ago. :[

The Zephyrites have Glint’s remains. It was used to create the aspects. Wind, air, etc.

There are several eggs in Glint’s lair in gw1. One even hatched in eotn.

I have a hard time accepting that an artifact is really an egg. If anything I have to wonder if its somehow the remnants of Glint. Possibly something melded/weaponized by the zephyrites.

Anka.5086:

In my previous posts I said I’m going to postpone my hunt for ‘Unidentified fossil of RAGE’’ but right now I have 1.5k Geodes in my bank and I don’t know what else to do with them other than try to craft Ambrite weapons. I did another 25 and nothing. In total; 120 chest and still nothing.

ANET! In your next patch U better include an option for us to purchase something like 1x Fossil in exchange for 400x Geodes from NPC merchant.

Nice job reading the patch notes.

Gentt now trades Sandy Bags of Gear for Unidentified Fossilized Insects.

Bags of gear are obtained by turning in your Geodes at the Tier rewards vendor.(You know the guy with the tier number floating above his head. Buy 3 bags, go the fossil vendor. Get an unidentified fossil.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-July-29-2014/first#post4247851

I gave up on trying to make the new masks work with a bob.
Decided to try something different on my mesmer. Not 100% set on the color scheme. Considering different shades of yellow, orange or brown. Looks good with the ambrite weapons. Somewhat satisfied for once.

I was disappointed as well. The same thing can be said about the kitten scavenger hunt for the backpiece.

Perhaps, once again, they should take a look back at this awesome game called Guild Wars. There was this really cool scavenger hunt once.

Electro.4173:

Did the trinkets and more importantly back items change as well? Or just the armor?

I’ve been using Advanced Spinal Blades for my Rampager / Zerker needs as far as back items go, but being able to get them for karma would be much cheaper. Or… well, I guess not really “cheaper” per-se, but it would be spending a currency I have plenty of as opposed to spending gold, which I seem to spend left and right.

I hate how they nerfed the trait into oblivion. Before it was patched it was godly (okay, it was broken…) and now its not even worth taking.

It seems to work on the mordrem wolf Retaliation howls. So that’s something, I guess. Then again, it doesn’t matter if they get their cast off. Mesmer is loaded down with all sorts of boon removal. So its kinda moot.

At the end of the day I think they want people to be able to simply press 1 and win pve. So in otherwords, pull out your gs, sit at 1200 range, afk, watch tv, have supper, etc. Don’t bother stunning anything because hey, its fun to watch people die in a kittenstorm of torment.

(Okay..I’m not really THAT mean. I do take sig of domination and sometimes pistol if I’m heading to an event where there will be thrashers.)

The really bad thing is that this design also leads to the fact that stacking sigills don’t work, and also traits like guardians renewed justice don’t work

Renewed Justice works fine in story missions. I’ve been using it while doing missions all week.

Stacking Sigils work in story missions.

Both aren’t buggy in open world or pve either.

Methal.9045:

Or stacks?

Just wondering if this is a bug? or something extra-ultra lame….

For what its worth, some story mission mobs do drop loot. Hopefully its not something they change. I managed to get a heavy loot bag that dropped a giant eye yesterday. First time I’ve seen one of those drop in two years.

We talk especially about the mobs in the new LS2 story missions not about personal story or open world.

You’re right. My apologies. Just started s2 on my guardian. Yay……Renewed doesn’t work…..Yay………I guess ill die to trash mobs over and over. What a pain the kitten . I dont even want to play it anymore. Too lazy to dodge.

Nope.

Make them a tier 5 award only. 1000 geodes each.

That will give you something to do.

We need more dredge.

We need dredge that turn into ghosts once we kill them so we have to kill them twice.

You joke but this was possible in Gw1. Dredge could rez their allies if you didn’t interrupt their reviving skill.

On topic, I hope they don’t mess with AC. Its one of my favorite dungeons. I’d hate to no longer be able to experience the old paths.
I doubt we will have to worry about Anet changing the dungeon. Anet no longer has a dungeon team and most of the player base doesn’t even run TA aetherpath anymore.

Will Lucky.8703:

Correct me if I’m wrong, but does the the legend not state only the rightful King of Ascalon wielding either of the swords can lift the curse?

Either this attempt fails as he doesn’t he considered that. Or Rytlock perhaps becomes the Kahn-Ur which could be interpreted as the King of Ascalon.

Or the Legends wrong and you only need the sword.

The lore is very vague when it comes to talking about putting the ghosts of Ascalon to rest. It simply states that the true King of Ascalon can do it.

Its important to note that the swords are Orrian in origin. I have a hard time accepting that the Orrian swords would essentially pick a charr as the rightful King.

Also, there are still two living blood descendants of Doric. Queen Jennah and Commander Samuelsson. Again, the lore doesn’t stipulate that the person with the sword must be a blood relative.

At this point I expect someone like Jeff Grubb to come along and completely kitten on all present lore about both swords.

Inb4 they end up in the gemstore instead. 500gems each.

0 fossils..about 30ish chests (probably slightly less)…Really wanted to make the focus….Not that I have a thing for wurms or anything…Butterfly would have been prefable as i am a mesmer….

Said kitten it and went back to playing gw1 instead…I’m all for weapons that aren’t in the gemstore, but i’m not for ones that involve rng drops in-game. If they want to make it harder to obtain then simply sell fossils at the merchants. Make it a t5 reward only. That would give people something to work towards…

im sure theyd rather sell you this stuff in the gemstore rather than provide it for free.

also rip my kittening hand. it hurts all the kittening time thanks to this trash game.

Thats what you get for trying to play bad pvp in a bad game.

The meets no longer occur.

What kills me is that the runs aren’t legit runs at all. The thief uses sb 5 to hop through walls.

If this had been gw1 these kitteners would have been perma-ed. But oh no..not here..

The Gw2 playerbase doesnt want challenging content. Mostly everyone, myself included, plays like kitten. Anet doesnt know how to produce challenging content that doesnt revolve around dodge or die.

broken like everything else in this game. i feel your pain. ive gotten 3x skins ever. harpoon, 2x daggers. ive ran a bit more than you..hundred or so fractals

I think its really astonishing to see that it took people two years to realize what kind of company ArenaNet has become. Did not kittenting on the Manifesto two years ago not do it for you?

The Eu Mesmer meet is officially dead.
Podcast ending.
Its like you all are about ready to commit suicide on this forum. Its a bit extreme.
I’m somewhat thrilled to see so many fair-weathered mesmer players finally go. Its long overdue.

of being thrown into german maps. i dont speak german. i dont want to learn german. i am kittening tired of it.

Someday..mesmer will be fixed right?

Right?

Right?

So tired of seeing iwarden bug out on the LS s2 stuff.

Anyone know of an up-to-date build calculator? I’m looking for one that includes assassin’s armor/weapons, full ascended gear (all stat choices), and all infusions. Google seems to fail me. Every calc. I find is out-dated.

I don’t expect every reward system, patch, etc. to go live without bugs/problems but at this point things are beyond ridiculous. Invest in some quality assurance.

A friend and I completed Forging the Pact together. I got credit for it while he did not. I thought it was possible for people at the same story step to get credit for the same story mission. Is this bugged or did we do something wrong?

Sigh…….

For the first time in months I was actually excited that pve might would consist of something other than DPS.

How can it be that two years have passed and nothing has been done about the defiant mechanic in pve? How can they care so little that this game is so shallow?

I guess I should be thankful Guild Wars 1 is still around and that I can go play a variety of roles in pve. (Including SHUTDOWN on a mesmer)

http://argos-soft.net/GW2/ArmorGallery/index.php?color=10&sex=1&race=2&w=2&skinID=gunlingeri&lang=en

Always use Argos to look up armor skins. Most of the set pieces are PVP only. You can’t get the full set in pve. A few of the pieces can be unlocked through completing specific personal story missions. Wiki the individual armor pieces if you want to know the story missions where you can obtain the pieces.

Nine times out of ten people end up completing the DEFEND portion of the events at the Temple of Grenth, Temple of Lyssa, and Gates of Arah. Defend events are the events that occur before the temple/area is retaken by Risen. Completing the defend portion does NOT reward you with the new traits. (Is this intentional or a bug?) This is problematic because it prevents the chain from failing and thus denies us the chance to unlock the new traits. I am aware that I can buy the traits but I do not want to.

Suggestions:

1. We need to be able to unlock the trait by defeating the risen priests during the DEFENSE events.

2. The traits need to specifically point out that doing the defense portion of the event will NOT reward you with the new trait.

3. Remove the DEFENSE events altogether. No one was doing them before the patch since the rewards are STILL abyssal when compared to the rewards from completing the full dynamic event chain.

Expect to be disappointed. If the dialogue found in the .dat is true then be prepared to throw your monitor out of the window. It simply confirms the existence of Mordemorth and Scarlet’s death. Nothing new. Nothing fulfilling. Just as bad as Assassin’s Creed.

I remember a time when you didn’t have to buy new skins in the gemstore. The were added for free.

I really miss Gw1’s district system. Really tired of being the kittenty overflow. Tired of being paired with people who don’t speak english. Just so tired…

This event is in dire need of proper scaling. Around 2am est I was on Gandara (EU). I tried guesting to Deso but ofc I hit the overflow of doom. My point is, we didn’t even have enough people to take down one knight. (tbh it was dps/coordination fail.) Even if we had decent dps we probably wouldn’t have been able to do all three. To me this is a design problem that needs to be addressed if they intend on adding more content like the knights, tequatl, and the wurm.

I’m tired of RNG myself but atleast we can buy them on the TP. Continually kittening about rng doesn’t seem to make a difference anyway.

I’m very disappointed in the skins. They barely look like their Gw1 variants. Its a deal breaker for me.

If Anet wants to make a buck off of nostalgia then perhaps they should make an attempt to make the weapons actually look like the ones from GW1.

I’m getting this too. Can’t use the lfg tool at all. As soon as I click on any listing, it crashes.

To be fair, any mesmer with class wouldn’t wear this garbage anyway.

These are quite possibly the worst armor set I’ve seen in any game ever. They look like they’re taken from WoW or possibly Torchlight.

They don’t even fit with the game’s aesthetic. Its awful immersion breaking trash.

I voted for ranger but I’m pretty sure this cdi will change nothing just like the other CDIs.

1. Ranger
2. Mesmer
3. Engineer
