Guild Wars 2

That might be true for those groups saying 5-7-18 because it clearly means fractals, but someone under living world with the tag “Story mode” or “P1-P3”, for as lazy as they can be, how can they expect others to know where they are going?

Definitely there should be no “default” section like it is now, either by forcing a selection when you open it, when you advertise your group or both.

Can someone enlighten me about what happens when I get experience in HoT maps while having all masteries unlocked? (I assume the same happens in old Tyria, but I am still working on those masteries so I can’t tell)

I see the occasional spirit shard pop up in the loot list, but I can’t find a way to track my progress towards the next shard. Do we still get spirit shards through experience?
The mastery bar is grey and clicking on it only opens up the mastery menu, there is no progress.

Also, is this explained somewhere and I missed it or simply something players figured out by themselves?

This is probably not the place, but since the in-game living world section of the LFG Tool seems to be hosting every kind of groups, why not extend that feature to the forum section aswell?

Bitter sarcasm aside, I would like to suggest a small change to the lfg tool. Make it so that when a player lists his/her group, he/she has to select a section from a drop-down menu (no default option selected is intended).

This would help with those absent minded players who list their fractal/dungeon group under open world content, cluttering the list and making finding a group for an actual open world content much harder, plus it would help them aswell because they would list the group in the proper channel.
Introduction of a looking for raid section would also help with thinning down the number of entries one has to browse.

I have to report two bugs, although I am sure many are already aware of them.

I went back to VB after a couple of months of doing other activities/maps, and decided to do the Ongoing Defense achievement while doing events to get more currency.

Apparently the event happens along the event that requires players to collect bomb scraps for the ordnance corps, so I tagged up and pushed the ordnance Corps event chain up to that point. I than tagged down and with 3 more players went to the closest tower, while the bulk of the group was doing the collect-event above us.

The tower-defense event did not trigger. I belive the reason is that the progress bar in the main event was too low. It could be that the bar needs to fill up to 50% at least (just speculating here) and than the defense event can happen. I than decided to go back to the camp and help with the main event, only to find out that the bug that prevents you from delivering the scraps to the npc, is still there! It has been there from launch day, and it is still there… it is possible to fix it by entering combat with one of the wasps nearby and than takling to the npc, but it doesn’t always work and most of the players will simply move on when they can’t progress.

With no hopes to fill the bar and no defense event happening I decided to stick around for the meta and try the achievement on the next cycle.

The next “day” I again helped with the ordnance corps events, built the towers, defended the outpost and than escorted Baroosh, the quaggan decided to get stuck before reaching the waypoint, therefor locking the whole event chain out.

It was a real letdown to go back to Verdant Brink and find out that these type of bugs still happen, after all this time. I wonder if the sylvari event is stil lbugged aswell…

Are there any plans to “rework” structures in vanilla Tyria to make them susceptible to condition damage, like they are in HoT?

As it is now doing things like Hearts (not that I like doing them, but I might want to comeplete map exploration now and than) can be a pain because you are required to destroy objects like weapon racks, abrrels and so on, and strolling around with condition gear/build feels underwhelming.

I’m sure nobody joined and left, that happened a couple times, but I can explain that so I didn’t mind.
Those I could not explain might have been due to nobody joining, makes sense.

I’am currently trying to fidn a group to comeplete achievements of season 2 presonal story.
I list my part typing there a description of which chapter I am looking for players for, sit there for a couple of minutes reading or doing whatever on my other screen. I look back at the LFG tool, which was open all during those 2 minutes, and my party is gone, I am no longer listed in there.

I relist myself, retyping the description in there, wait again doing something else, look back in-game and I’m no more in the group list.

After 3 attempts I find myself not being allowed to list my party because of excessive messaging…

Are there any workarounds and/or reasonable explanations to this?

Cause of the reward bug in the beginning of the mordrem event on 10.09. i had no clue how much blooms i already earned.
Now im sitting on 445 blooms beeing kittened as hell!
Anyone else has this problem?

I just received my blooms by mail, and I received 30 blooms.
I’m getting old and fuzzy but I was confident that on day one, I finished the very first invasion with 7 stacks, meaning that I was entitled to 5 from the buff + 20 from the daily map.

Now I’m sitting at kitten . I suppose I have the 5 you miss, now we just have to find a way to trade them…

Sorry for the doulbe post and self quote but… why the heck when I type down the number fourhundred fiftyfive, when I press post it replaces it with the word kitten?_?

If I click edit I see the number displayed correctly…

Suggestion:

Event lasts 30 minutes.

Each player gets a non-stacking buff by contributing, be it using the catapult, trowing pods or just killing mordrem.

Said buff that lasts 1 minute (just putting there a duration that seems sensible to me, make it 30 seconds or 2 minutes if needed) and the duration is refreshed by doing the mentioned activities.

At the end of the 30 minutes check how many events the whole map completed, in this case dividing rewards in tier makes sense (for instance 20 events map-wide give 5 seeds, 30 events 10 seeds and so on).

For each player give out a percentage of rewards based on how long they managed to keep the buff on them. If I do a full event which lasts for 2 minutes, my buff will last 3 minutes (2 minutes of event assuming I am not afk, plues the 60 seconds extra). Let’s say I go afk after I completed this event, than I had the buff for 3 minutes out of 30 minutes total, which entitles me to 10% of the achieved rewards. Assuming that 30 events map-wide grant players 10 seeds, I would be entitles to 1 seed because I of my slacking.

Of course it might be that tracking buff uptime duration is not possible, but this is just me putting there a suggestion, as you kindly asked.

Personally I am still confused about the free character slot.

Am I right to assume that pre-purchasing the base version of the expansion gives my account, which has been created on day 1, an extra character slot?

What happens if I Pre-purchase the Deluxe version, do I get 2 slots?

Player looking for guild.

I have played a couple months at launch but quit becuase of technical problems; few days ago I decided to give the game another go.

I am a player who leans more towards the casual mentality than the hardcore and I value community and social interactions in MMOs above everything else (of course the game needs to be good too, otherwise I would hang out with friends at a pub if I just wanted to socialize).
When I join a guild I tend to stick with it for a long time, therefore this search of mine might turn out to be lenghty.

What I am looking for, gameplay-wise is PvX. From what I remember of GuildWars and what I have experienced these past days, this is a game that encourages delving into all its aspects and I intend to do so, or try at least. I have very little experience in all aspects though, be it PvP, WvW or PvE I haven’d done much at level 80 but I am a quick lerner and from past experiences in other games I know I usually perform above average.
Given that I hope for this membership to be long-lasting (or even for life) what I play and which server I am in are frivolous details: server can be changed and profession… well I am still not sure which one is my main. I started as a Mesmer which I still love, but I just can’t stand the sounds its skills make (poinless argument since there always seems to be another player “mesmering” around me, if I have to hear at those annoying sounds, might aswell be me the one making them). I am more than happy to change profession if the need arises.
I currently play on Far Shiverpeaks but as mentioned I can change realm, actually I would be glad to. I have not tryed to queue for WvW these past days yet, but from what I remember from launch the queues would go up to somewhere around 5 hours during the week and 8 hours on the weekends, While I expect them to be quicker now that the game is not a novelty anymore, I still prefer a quieter home (this is assuming that the guild takes part in organized WvW, which is not mandatory for me)

What I am looking for on the meta-game level is regular players to team up with, use of voice comms for organized events, but not too much seriousness when talking: I prefer to die a few more times than needed but have a laugh, than spending hours in silence listening to someone coordinating the team.
I prefer medium sized guilds to the overcrowded ones, simply because having too many players to get aquainted with takes too long and I tend to give my best when I know whom I play with thouroughly, knowing how far I can push my jokes before I offend someone and who’s good at what in terms of gameplay.

I am 30yo and I would like to find a community around my age, I don’t like making discriminations but I know from experience that it gets harder and harder to get along with other the more age disparity there is.
