Guild Wars 2

The whole lack of alliance systems was pretty rough at launch, to be honest. Massive alliances from GW1 could no longer stick together and had to unify guilds come GW2. And that just led to some unnecessary conflict and differences for some.

Alliance system would be amazing, Anet.

…Dangit I posted this in wrong forum headdesk

So I’ve noticed in my BLT window for the past few days, the amount of gems I have are NOT showing up in the upper left hand box like they’re supposed to. When I went to purchase some gems, the windows took a while to go through and it SEEMED like the gems had been purchased, but I noticed in my inventory screen the amount did not increase nor did I receive an email confirming my gem purchase.

Can anyone help out? I’d REALLY like to get one of the character slots while it’s on sale, and suddenly technology decides to hate me ;-;

I have Avast! anti-virus, but I disabled all the shields and tried to open the launcher but also got the same error, not to mention I’ve had Avast! working previous times the launcher has patched on both laptop at school and desktop at home, so I’m not entirely sure.

When I played the game last night, it had worked just fine with connecting and logging in. Now after the patch, I’m stuck with this error on the login screen. I thought that maybe it was just high server traffic or whatever, so I left the launcher pulled up for… nearly five hours now I think? And it still hasn’t connected to download the patch. I tried the “port test” suggestion I saw in another thread, but that still didn’t work. Xx I’m in a laptop at a university on their wifi connection, and I never had this problem before.

I’m doing it in the time frame after the Daily resets and shows back up on my UI. That’s what I mean by “daily reset” when that shows back up

So, lately I’ve left my Charr Warrior camped at Tequatl just to do a once-a-day kill of the guy for the chest. Except, well, lately when I kill him AFTER Daily reset for the first time (so stop telling me to not kill him more than once a day people, because I KNOW that part of it), he does NOT drop a chest. At all. I’ve had a gold participation medal on it numerous times, but the chest does not exist. It is not simply “unloaded” and capable of looting, I do NOT get to access and loot the chest.

It’s happened about five times now for me, and as of writing this, I’ve had the problem two days in a row. So far, it has been “no chest, chest, no chest, no chest, chest, no chest, no chest” as to how it goes for Tequatl fights.

I don’t get what’s going on or why I keep being unable to loot the chest, but I’d sorta like this to fix so it’s worthwhile to even do Tequatl :\

Hm… is there any way you’ll be able to incorporate this as one of those… Windows 7 widgets on the right side of your screen if you choose to have them? I know I for one am HORRIBLE about remembering to login/start something (ex: my Xfire that I sometimes entirely forget to login), so if it could be maybe some sorta nice little widget there…

Regardless, very cool idea there. I like the idea of sound notification set to so many minutes before.

Also, perhaps when it actually enters the window, you can make the numbers a different color like the site does?

I honestly haven’t bothered looking at the forums much. It sorta came to me as I was playing and saw all my minipets just sitting in storage because they get deposited immediately.

I dunno, I find it a bit of a hassle because I have a bunch of 20 or 15 slot bags as it is… and making a 15 slot invisible bag kinda seems like a waste just for a mini. I’m usually okay with how much loot I can hold, it’s just the issue of not wanting to buy another bag slot just to put a small invisible bag for minis. But I guess it does make sense for the people who end up with tons of loot all the time >>; I’m just picky about having everything organized.

I’m not entirely sure about that to be honest… That might be going too far in that direction, you know? I imagine it would be possible to do, but dunno if that’s quite within range of what they’d want to…

Personally, I’m okay with at least just one minipet slot. That might be easier to implement.

I know, right? It takes too long to manually deposit collectibles, and having an invisible bag solely so your minipet doesn’t get stored on accident? I just really think it’d be nice to have. More people might have their minipets along with them if we had that little feature. Still want to show off my Rytlock~

This is an idea that’s crossed my mind as one more of convenience than anything. As it is, minipets are considered a Collectible, so whenever you hit Deposit Collectible to send your crafting materials to storage, your minipet also goes as well. In order to avoid that, you have to either a) manually right click and deposit all your materials that aren’t the minipet, or b) make an invisible bag just to put the minipet in. It seems rather inconvenient to do either, and I doubt I’m the only one who doesn’t really show off minipets due solely to that inconvenience and having to constantly retrieve said minipet from a bank.

What about a slot on the Hero menu for you to put a minipet in? That way you can have at least one minipet that will always be with you and won’t get deposited along with the rest of your collectibles. You could either double-click to bring it out, or maybe have a toggle feature like back items between having it visible or storing it. I know it would be enjoyable to get to have minipets on my characters through a feature like that, since they just collect dust in storage for the most part.

I recently discovered a bug related to armor dyes that can immediately crash your game as well as making the dyes for that piece of armor unchangeable.

Character B has and armor piece worn by Character A that was previously dyed (ex: Celestial and Black for the colors), and character B does NOT have those dyes unlocked. When character B wears the armor, the dye colors on the armor piece CANNOT be changed. If attempting to change the dye colors on the armor piece, then removing the armor piece, the game will immediately crash as soon as the armor is put into inventory.

I’ve replicated the crashes (on accident and on purpose) about seven or eight times, and even repeated on a second character to confirm these were the steps taken and it had to deal with a locked dye not yet discovered on Character B.

Character A was my Ranger, and Character B was my Engineer. I repeated the process on an entirely different class, the Thief, using a pair of boots. My Engineer’s bugged piece of gear is a chest piece. All of this was done with medium armor.

On the bright side, neither of them are stuck with horrible colors for the armor pieces.

Well, I can’t exactly give them a card. They live in the Netherlands >> But I suppose that’s one method of going about it, hm.

So, I’ve been thinking about getting a digital copy of GW2 for a friend of mine who I invited to the trial weekend, but I was wondering how exactly one would go about gifting it to someone else. When you buy the digital copy, does it automatically apply it to your account, or does it give you a CD key that you need to apply that I could give to the friend I’m gifting it to? I dunno quite how this works out and wanted to find out before I actually got it.

I added it to my friend’s list, but it says no one with the name exists. When I go to make the character, it says name reserved, even this far after launch.

Then I don’t get why it’s not. :\ I’m disappointed because it happens to be the name of one of the two sisters we RP as so she was rather hoping to claim it. Maybe it’ll fix soon…

There’s a name my friend’s been waiting to be unreserved for her to take, and I know it hasn’t been used yet in Guild Wars 2. However, it claims the name is still reserved for whoever used it in Guild Wars 1. I thought shortly after launch, all claimed names would become unclaimed?
