Guild Wars 2

Guys, think for a moment, Halloween is on night of 31st of October to 1st of November. On the website www.guildwars2.com it says “Check back on
October 22 for more details!” so who says this is all we get for this years Halloween? More will come, just a few days later

Well that just sucks then, it is very unfair because the skins are the same. They should have stayed account bound.

I have noticed almost all skins are now no longer account bound, including my Winter’s Arc Short Bow Skin. When searching on TP it shows there are a couple on yet I just can’t sell it. It doesn’t show up in my Sell on TP list. I had it from Wintersday and it got changed to not be account bound. I don’t see why I can’t sell it :S

Search seems to not function so if topic exist sorry for making this one.

Yes, the bugs should be fixed, but you guys are grossly overreacting. I’ve been using this tonic constantly for months and never noticed any of these bugs.

Also, small cats are great, I’ve been using this tonic to help my huge charr do jumping puzzles and hide in WvW.

Well, even when correctly sized the cubs are still small, I just notice those issues pretty fast. Autism can be helpful for finding things that are different then they should be :P

Theslayernl,

I’ve reported these issues to the team.

(Stop bumping!) :P

Assuming all reported issues will eventually be fixed, how do the issues get prioritized? Are they arranged by severity and time or is it possible that issues can be “forgotten” if they aren’t that common (like this tonic that might have been obtained by just a small amount of players)?

I won’t bump it any more, well, maybe I will if a new bug occurs :P

Bumping because bugs are still there.

Can’t they figure out how far everyone was and make it so you are just as far? It really sucks that we have to pay for this mistake, was 2/4 now 0/4 >.<

I had issue too but I do have 1 tip, try making groups at start of event or even before, if you then get an error you can rightclick a party portrait and join back on the main server map with the rest of your party (have to be out of combat to use it).

I have same issue and what amazes me the most is this, I did 3 invasion events, 1 succeeded and 2 failed, both failed ones counted but the succeeded one did not add to the counter.

Might want to fix the credits, did 2 and received just 1. Failed the Fireheart Rise one and had credit, Completed the Blazeridge Steppes one with killing Scarlet and received none.

Just wondering, I know devs read the forums, but is something like this actually going to be fixed? It might seem low priority, but for a game that has looks being to most important thing, I actually think this is quite important :P

Weird that the cycling is bugging now. I really hope they can fix all issues, right now due to the error it sure ain’t worth 100 laurels

Removal of Culling is what stands out for me and well I do hope Arena.net have improved the optimization of guild wars 2 by then, because my Phenom x4 945 overclockt to 3.4ghz and my crossfire 2gb hd 6950s and my 8gb ram should really not have lag issues in guild wars 2.

But I guess the forums response will be the useal “Your CPU is bad” .
No it’s not bad because I run Skyrim with 2,5gb worth of Vram HD textures and I dont lag or crash and I also play Ultra bf3 without any lag issues.

It’s Guild wars 2 really kittenty optimization that is the problem.

First of all Guild Wars 2 is a MMOrpg and Skryim is just an rpg, MMO’s tend to be a lot more demanding then normal games. Battlefield 3 is not even a demanding game, my old HD5850 with just 1gb of memory could run that game without lag issues.

I noticed that my Evon Gnashblade all of a sudden changed from 3 lines to just 1 and that one line just says “I used to be their favorite”. Ellen Kiel also all of a sudden says something else, so far I only heared “Time to lay down the law”.

This all happened after Ellen Kiel won, if this truly has to do with that then amazingly done ANet, love the small details

UPDATE: New bug added, I can’t 100% confirm this but after trying for at least 15 minutes to get the Orange Tiger shape with this tonic I all of a sudden got an error while transforming and it crashed my game. I was in Sparkfly Fen and had the same issue there the day before and on both occasions I did not see the Orange Tiger shape cross my screen.

I thought it was that shape that got bugged but in LA I managed to get the shape after just a minute without a crash. I’ll see if I can reproduce same issue.

EDIT: So it seems it is an issue but not related to Sparkfly Fen, it appears to either be random or only on boss locations. Edited main post so look there for more information at number 4.

These issues still exist, I know it is an pretty old post but still, it exists and making a new thread is pointless if you can bump the old one back up.

This issue still exists and it really annoys me

So I turned on Nvidia Inspector to check my gpu stats and I noticed when opening the BLTC window my gpu usages goes down or even to 0% when I encounter the 1sec freeze. I have a GTX670 and it really started this patch

Are all zones on a seperate server? If so then they could just reboot the Gendarren Fields server? :o

Got same issue, its definitely a server issue, please fix it because it really disrupts gameplay.

Well something is causing it, and its still bugged, every patch can bug something you don’t expect it to bug

I have same issue, started after the latest content patch. Really annoys they crap out of me.

How to get in, it doesn’t work for me

Bumping for the sake of fixing bugs. 100 laurels spent on a buggy item, please fix this so it is actually WORTH it.

Are there no other cat lovers who have this tonic who can confirm some of my findings in the hope to get them being fixed? I really want this fixed

I already had a topic made about this but it is too far down the list now and I have some footage that shows the issue more clearly.

1: All cat shapes are too small except the Orange Tiger and the Fat Cat, I have 3 screenshots added as Attachment. 1 as Orange Tiger next to a Juvenile Jaguar Pet, 1 as Jaguar next to that same pet and 1 as little Cub next to the Mini Lion Cub.

2: The Orange Tiger has no sounds on any of his abilities while rest does.

3: The eyes of the Orange Tiger do not blink correctly, I have included a Youtube clip to show you what I mean

4: There seems to be a new bug which I can’t exactly place, at random times using the tonic can crash the game resulting in an error. Happened in Sparkfly Fen near the cannons at Tequatl and at the area in front of Skara Braevus in Blazeridge Steppes near the place where The Shatterer lands. I usually just use it, press 6, use it etc. till I get the Orange Tiger shape. Never had crashed before due to this item on both of those spots before Queen’s Jubilee patch.

If near the Low Land Burns waypoint I don’t seem to crash / get Orange Tiger shape in very few tries as well.

I really hope ArenaNet cares enough about the players of their game and fix this issue with a pretty nice item and for the cost of 100 laurels it should be special enough to be worth it and not buggy as it is now.

There is nothing bugged when it comes to this way of getting in, the portal leading out of dungeon is both ways so if you can get to the exit asura gate you can get in at the end. The only bugged thing in this JP is that you can fall down and actually die instead of being teleported back to start.

Got to bump it up until you know it is fixed up! (Yes I know I bump older topic but this issue is still there, keeping it up near the top makes it being noticed again, I hope)

Most other none infinite tonics have 15min duration, expected it to be at least 15min but sadly it was only 5min

I don’t know if bumping is liked / allowed but I really want to know if this will be fixed or not and plan to either bump it or make new topics if this gets too far back until it is fixed / has a response from Arenanet

O nice thanks for telling that

I noticed the Tiger form (the orange one) has some issue, first of all it makes no sound when using the abilites and when it blinks with his eyes they are rather odd, it doesn’t blink, I included a screenshot which shows the issue. I think something is wrong with the model or the way the bones are assigned to the blinking. Hope this can be fixed because I really love tigers

EDIT The Orange Tiger seems to be the only correct sized form, all other forms are smaller then they should be. Compare them to the Leopard Tonic and you will see what I mean, even the cub forms are smaller then they should. They are smaller then the Lion Cub Minipet.

Please Arenanet fix these issues, most expensive stuff (any form of currency) is to look cool or have something cool. At least make those items actually be worth it without being buggy. I do hope that someday maybe Male Lion and Liger will be part of the tonic with the size fixed on all but Tiger and animation and sound fixed on Tiger.

Same here on GH (Gunnar’s Hold)

It would be cool to have an achievement for having all 403 dyes (not counting limited ones because that isn’t relevant) with a title “Colourful”

There is this new waypoint in Snowden Drifts named Angvar’s Trove Waypoint, which is contested. Behind it is a cave with gates infront. I have managed to get inside but upon doing so you get warped out and placed infront of the gate.

So what do you think this WP and Cave are about? I think it could be for the last part of Living Story because it goes down into the ground. But it has a weird location, it already has 2 WP’s near it.

I just love the way the Charr look and after doing Citadel of Flame Story and hearing the line “Charr need no god” out of Rytlock Brimstone’s mouth it made me smile. I don’t believe in gods either so well, seems we got a match

This is my Charr Mesmer, uses Exalted Armor set with only headpiece being Conjurer, dyes used: Celestial, White Gold, Midnight Fire.

15:36 can login again.

Since today 15:15 CET (GMT+1) I got disconnected from game (Gunnar’s Hold) and are unable to reconnect. Anyone else got issues with connection?

I started encountering this exact same issue, I do sometimes accidentally press ctrl+shift or alt+shift so it changes language, press again to fix, but it seems game hangs the moment I press enter when done typing. It is a curious bug indeed and it only started for me about 2 weeks ago.

I only have this bug on Jormag and I can confirm that lowering it from Highest quality to halfway it fixes the bug, then after Jormag I crank it back to Highest and continue playing. I am using a Audigy Soundblaster SE

I only had it at Claw of Jormag, but when turning down to medium I do not but hell it does sound BAD on 5.1, after fight I turn it back to max quality. It is weird that ONLY that fight (and perhaps karka event too) has given me this issue, there should be an option for maximum simultaneous sounds played or something.

Diessa not working on Gunnar’s Hold either and the in-game letter seems to be not being sent either. Only letter you get is after zone once you completed the achievement

I really hope they will fix it because it is annoying to loose those 25 stacks without getting in downed state.

So does this mean 21:00 CET (Central Europe Time)?

I think you guys are mixing things up, Halloween / Wintersday / Lost Shores had events tied to it, one time events, this patch is start of something bigger with persistent events changing current zones for a longer time. It can’t be compared to previous updates.

When reading the tooltip and especially the very last bit it sais “Max 25 stacks; ends on down”. This suggests it should stay when login out and in or changing maps but it doesn’t. In fact, it actually gets removed upon changing zones or even login out and back in, is this intentional? I hope it is not, if not then please fix either the bug so it stays UNLESS you actually enter downed state or fix tooltip to list the other actions that remove the 25 stacks as well. This might be the case for the other 25 stack sigils as well.

I hope within 2 hours so EU can experience it in this evening as well, hate to wait till tomorrow after work

I got a GTX670 and I have issues too, I got a Audigy Soundblaster SE soundcard, I do suffer from a sound issue that sound goes over onto a bleeping sound. I don’t know if it would cause the freezing but I am not going to sacrifice my 5.1 surround sound for that.

I have the same issue and it started since wintersday patch. It freezes mostly upon loading screen or when it just finished loading and shows the world ingame. I have no clue what causes it but I guess it HAS to do with the patch since I have never had this much freezes at all before the patch.
