Guild Wars 2

You guys are amazing for putting this together Glad I’ll be able to finally catch it this year, can’t wait.

Wow… just. Wow. I hope this gets seen.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Didn’t they say, every time, that the choice of stats depended on the item or where it was attained?

‘Weapons, armor and trinkets with magic find will become account bound, lose their current stats and will gain the ability to be double-clicked to select one of several stat options depending on the item.’

‘This is a one-time ability, and the options are dependent on where the item was acquired.’

This. Arachnophobia is still a high-end, Mystic Forge weapon, which is why it’s able to choose all stats. The problem isn’t that these stats are not available, its that they aren’t available to craftable Explorer’s weapons – showing that this weapon can select those stats does not help your point.

Aren’t you an anet staff? I have no idea why do you want to pull the small rug from under each other with no benefit. Please dont use sentences kinda “majority player” “most people” lightly. Those make nonsense of your advocating. You aren’t people.

You’re right I’m not able to speak for “majority” and “most” players, I concede to that. I suppose we have to wait for an Anet employee to spell it out clearly, anyway, since my logic doesn’t work here.

Seconded. I’m not surprised by this at all given thakittens chest was never updated, but it would be nice if they at least added something to that chest. It is a very nice fight, people should be encouraged to do it.

Yeah as I said in the your other topic now I’m not going back in until that’s fixed… It’s funny, everyone screaming at ANet to compensate them for the “time” spent on ridiculously easy monthlies that they got to save their AP for need to do a 40+ fractal and get kicked out at the end, then maybe they’ll understand what time wasted is.

They probably meant the base/discoverable crafting stats which does not include Sentinel (recipes and inscriptions only dropped during F&F) and Celestial (again recipes need to be bought and all charged quartz/resulting gear is account bound).

Be that as it may, There is their responsibility since they wrote the incorrect report with no description about such a important thing.

Well, not if the majority player base understood Sentinel and Celestial were not part of the crafted set. And I think you’ll find that most people will admit to that. I think Genesis was saying it was compensation for players with soulbound weapons, not compensation for wanting to shortcut buying 1g-5g weapons before the update to get stats that are not otherwise easily attainable. Sentinel inscriptions/insigna have only recently been re-added to the loot table iirc, but for the purpose of the exotic inscriptions giving experience to level to 500.

You also kinda defeated your own argument by saying Shiverstone and Crystal guardian were added to the loot table because these are not craftable, they are unique skin champ drops. In no way were Celestial/Sentinel conventionally craftable without first attaining recipes, inscription drops, and special materials. This means that they are not considered craftable weapons. Dire and Assassin’s stats on the other hand have replaced their craftable counterparts, which is why they are selectable, though I do agree thakittens frustrating that they’re not selectable in all cases and question whether that part was intentional.

I believe the weapon previews will look like that because the preview only shows the one hand, when you actually hold it in the off-hand when equipped. So it’d be reversed.

Not that I know much about it but I imagine its to not have two existing versions of the same item… since anyone who had the staff before should be able to choose their stats, it’d be more fair to have that be the version of the staff as opposed to Dire or Assassin’s across the board.

Though you’re right, it sucks you lost 4 exotics to that gamble. I dislike getting anything account bound/soulbound on acquire from the forge. I guess I get it not be removed from the table entirely, it probably still drops from chests and people will run into the same issue, but still.

Oh I rather like that they let us choose. I think it’d kitten more people off to get back an account-bound Delusion they didn’t want in the first place (since it was listed) and they couldn’t choose the stats of it. At the end of the day if you don’t want it at least you can still throw it back in the forge (I hope?) or salvage it for Dark Matter, since that’s the only way to get it.

They probably meant the base/discoverable crafting stats which does not include Sentinel (recipes and inscriptions only dropped during F&F) and Celestial (again recipes need to be bought and all charged quartz/resulting gear is account bound). On top of that I do understand not being able to choose Celestial stats, I’m sure they know it’d kitten a lotta people off to give away free Celestial stats after implementing a system that made us go through the pains of getting 30 charged quartz crystals to craft a full armor set.

I do hear you about not being able to choose the rest of the stats on some armor sets though. I kind of wish I waited now to see if anything would change, I would have liked to be able to turn my guard’s MF gear into a knight’s set.

Been combing through to see how many more people are reporting this, was also in Maurader’s party. Lost a corrupted core and a dumb account bound exotic Soldier’s field guide but hey that was MY dumb account bound exotic Soldier’s field guide.

Considering we helped someone with a 28 fractal right before with no issue, If this is a new thing blocking progression in later ones I’m prob gonna stay out for a while.

Funny cause I bought Delusion before the patch, definitely had MF stats and was able to change it, and that’s also why it’s no longer on the TP because since all would have been returned. I realize the wiki has it listed as zerker, but if you go through the history it was changed at some point. Not sure what the discrepancy is.

The utility infusion will not change, it still functions. Its weapons/trinkets/armor with MF as a base stat that get to change.

I don’t know about most people, but I’ve been getting that issue for a lot longer than 2 weeks. Maestro you said a few minutes, sometimes I will try to whisper people before missions and their name will finally pop up about 20 min-an hour later in the middle of typing instructions in guild chat. I imagine people have reported this before but since the search functionality in this forum doesn’t seem to work, guess all we can do is hope for a fix eventually.

I’m not sure if that’s the issue TPMN, like soakman said this has happened to me on my main and alts swapping trinkets in the fractal before… main supposed to be at 45, alts ranging between 20-30 atm and at various reward levels. Usually un-equipping everything and reequipping fixed this for me, personally.

I was one of said friends. I’d like to add that we each submitted bug reports in-game as we weren’t sure how to address this issue, not sure where it’d fall under the support categories.

We have done dungeons before where someone has disconnected during this ‘2-ish hours’ period, and were NOT able to re-enter the dungeon so we had to finish a player/2 short. That is fine, as I understand why. And to be clear: It wasn’t that our party leader disconnected and we all got kicked to LA, we ALL received the disconnect error and were returned to the login screen.

Now one thing I did do was switch characters during the Volcanic fractal (our third before maw). Naturally I assumed, since I wasn’t dc’d when I switched and made it back in without error, that we would be able to continue without issue. As mentioned above, when a guild mate disconnected during CoE once the new build was downloaded so he could not rejoin us. This did not happen to me.

The fact that we were allowed to continue to the Maw, defeat the maw, and loot the chest were pretty clear indicators that the run was successful. I’m sure anyone could understand why suddenly getting kicked out right before that daily chest icon appeared would be a little disheartening, much less logging back in and seeing everyone lost their progression and even the loot from that large chest.

I’ve google searched the forums because the search option doesn’t seem to be working, and haven’t found much to go on here. Has this happened to anyone before? Was it the build? How is it that on re-logging we all saw the items we managed to loot in the game messages, but no longer in our inventory? Do we have any hope of compensation here or are we just wasting more time?

videoboy.4162:

Kinda sounds like we’re heading towards a visit to the Dominion of Winds.

Yeah, I’m really hoping we see a Tengu character enter the fray this time to confirm this.

Southsun Cove does not count towards your map completion. Its most likely Chantry of Secrets like Ayrilana said which has 1 POI that will not count on Bloodtide Coast’s count as its a separate instance.

It would also help to check out Wayfarer’s (Cragstead) or anything else that would’ve been added with the F&F content as I believe a POI might’ve been blocked (though I think they fixed that).

I might be wrong but I don’t think this is a bug. I don’t think the 3000 influence was ever intended to be able to boosted, that’s already a significant influence gain comparatively to what options there were before to help smaller guilds who are unable to amass at least 1000/day.

Not saying it wouldn’t be nice, but lets face it. Small guilds tend to get shafted so not exactly holding my breath… just gonna chip away until we get there since I refuse to dump hundreds of gold … for now anyway.

Except wouldn’t that only rollback the progress of a few hours? I know that’s happened to me before. But it couldn’t undo all the time that would have gone into farming 100s of those mats… I doubt it.

This would definitely be a useful addition

1. Stay clear of lions arch at all costs! Do not log any character in la and expect points… Just doesn’t happen, and if you get stuck in an overflow, kiss the points you would’ve gotten goodbye. You can get points rarely, but again, it’s rare! Drop them in the Bloodtide coast or take a gate out to somewhere else, then log out.

2. Avoid zones with overflow, you won’t get them.

3. You will only ever get credit for a max of 5 characters per accountper day. Even if you have 8 characters logged a day, you only get 5 of them, so make them count.

4. Make sure each character you log is in a unique location. (don’t log 2 characters located in Rata Sum, for example, you’ll only get the points for the first one) As a precaution, make sure when you log off of a character, you drop them off in a unique location (unique map) before leaving them.

5. Now this one makes no sense at all, but it seems there is a connection between characters on different accounts within a guild and their locations. Say one person is logged in already at the Black Citadel, and you log on to your character in the Black Citadel, it seems, you won’t get your login points. I’ve tested this several times over the last few days and it has happened multiple times. So there you go… Go figure how that is possible!

6. Timing also seems to be related. If 2 people log in at virtually the same time, your guild may only get credit for one character… This includes switching characters. Not sure how that works either, but I’ve seen it happen. It may not be consistent, but very possible.

Thanks for the time you put into that! I was going to do the same thing and probably will keep an eye out for this now to track those results. Guess it doesn’t help that most of my characters log in/out next to SAB! I will definitely try to keep them out of LA after all the issues its causing.

Guild: Fjordwalkers
Server: Desolation

I am the Guildmaster of Fjordwalkers, yet..

- I cannot edit the message of the day
- I cannot access the Guild vault – it says I don’t have it unlocked
- I cannot demote or promote members
- I cannot change what privileges a certain rank should be able to have
- I cannot put up build orders for banners or other upgrades
- I cannot edit our Guild logo

Why is this? It worked perfectly well yesterday, yet now.. I am unable to do anything, like the Guild doesn’t see me as the Guildmaster

I’ve put up two screenshots just to show example

Help is much appreciated

EDIT: Everything seems to be working when I am inside The Mists, what is going on? Or well.. I haven’t checked the bank nor if I could change the logo, but I guess it would work

EDIT2: I have found a hotifx for my problem, you just have to be anywhere that is not Lion’s Arch – might be something to look into

I am the founder and co-leader of The Drunk Tanks [RTDT] on Fort Aspenwood.

Problem? Unable to activate or queue upgrades, edit ranks, basically manage ANYTHING in my guild…. and apparently it is because I am in Lion’s Arch??

It is UNBELIEVABLE to me that my bug was “being in LA,” the hub of useless map chat and quaggan talk in Fort Aspenwood. Thank you very much for your post I didn’t even think that that was the issue, everyone was convincing me it was a problem with my network and having me re-log, get other officers to do it, etc. I have had to disband 2 bounty attempts because we couldn’t activate items in our kitten queue – and trust me it’s hard enough getting people co-ordinated enough beforehand without the ADDED FRUSTRATION of not being able to activate upgrades you have spent time and influence building.

Not to sound more off-putting since I am clearly frustrated as hell, but this should be a no-brainer Anet: Needs a Fix. IMMEDIATELY. I have only been through 3 pages of these guild issues and had to skip to the end because this is ridiculous. If I could understand what part of bug report to use in a situation (UI>Guild?) I would have sent this off, I’ll probably submit it under that anyway. Hope it doesn’t get lost in this very short thread.

Actually I’d really like to hear the response to this as well, as I’ve been having the same problem though it happened after I re-installed with the game disc once I received it.

The problem a couple people seem to think is with the “Large” text size in your interface options. I’ve confirmed it works on Small and Normal for me, and it seems Larger is OK as well… but though I’m blind, I don’t need my text quite that large.

Hopefully this gets fixed.
