Guild Wars 2

Doesn’t seem like bugs are being fixed at the moment, unless it’s a tool-tip correction :p

I’ve had this happen a lot lately, with all sorts of characters and locations. Happening to a lot of other players too.

I think bug fixes is put on hold at the moment, it certainly feels that way

Polite bump

I will raise this issue again, like I have a few times now every few months. The “large” UI display is bugged in that it displays foreign letters instead of bullet points in descriptions. I’m sure this would be a quick easy fix.

All other UI display modes are just fine (Small, Normal and Larger) but the Large has been displaying these strange letters for quite a long time now.

I know I could change it out to a different display, but I have a 27 inch hi-res monitor and ‘Large’ seems just perfect for me

Just recently, I have had so many crashes it’s unreal. Never had any problems before but since the last update, there have been a lot. All seem to be something about invalid matrix. I have sent ANET the report every time. If others are suffering too, ANET’s inbox must be quite full, so surely they know the cause and cure.

It would be nice to see some actual bug fixes going on, instead of just updating tool tips

Yep, I attempted it twice today in Queensdale, and both times the engineers just stood there and didn’t fire the mortars, leading to an obvious event fail

Yep, I keep getting the charmatrix crash too, in Queensdale, roughly the same spot every time I think. I never used to have crashes until recently

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Unfortunately, we need DPS on the boss fight. If you’re unable to meet the group’s standards, the vote kick is our option. This is no offense to you as a player, but just the group needing someone who can contribute more.

And just how do you know who is doing the most / least DPS? In WoW we had DPS metres in add-ons, but they don’t exist here do they? So surely it’s just assumption about DPS.

I recently saw a video where a Necro matched a Warrior for DPS. The thousand blades was matched with Life Blast on a glass cannon Necro.

If you got kicked Penguin, would you just shrug your shoulders and say “Well that’s fair, I must have been doing the lowest DPS”?

The thing that makes the least sense is LFG parties looking for player with a minimum of 7000 achievement points or some other high number. These are the self righteous ‘Gods’ of the game who alienate newer players. I have almost 8500 achievement points and by that standard I would be welcomed into most parties. But, I have very little experience in any dungeons or fractals because I rarely play them so that is another dumb theory out the window.

A lot of players are just selfish. They take the attitude that you should do something for them, like buff them. And players ALWAYS blame someone else for a wipe. There always has to be one person they see let the group down but no one will ever admit it was them. Obviously it was the ranger going ‘pew pew’ and not buffing. “ROAR, I’m a big strong warrior and the only reason I died was because that stupid ranger didn’t have spotter up so I did less damage. KICK HIM”.

This is one of many reasons I don’t use LFG and only play dungeons / fractals if it is a guild run. One thing ANET will never be able to fix, is the petty minded, self-centred, short-sighted arrogance of some players

Same problem for me. All I see for ages is the Mount Maelstrom loading screen. This needs fixing asap please, preferably before the upcoming update

Just read my post above again. I don’t feel the need to repeat myself to pointless pedantic banter.

I can also confirm this. I tested all the others too and they work fine but it seems the helmsman has forgot the way to the Black Citadel. hehe

I fully understand what you are saying about remembering bad streaks and forgetting good streaks, but this is different. There have never been any good streaks to remember, and so you can’t remember something that hasn’t happened.

And figures printed here and ‘recorded’ can just as easily be dismissed. I could easily say that I salvaged 300 items and got 15 runes and I wrote it all down. It would mean no more than anything else said in this post. The only people who know the truth are ANET when and if they look into this.

There is no evidence or proof provided here by anyone. The whole purpose of this thread is to alert ANET to a possible bug, which I hope we have now done.

Oh, my results are not facts but yours are? I bow to your superiority on this matter, I am obviously talking rubbish and you are not. lol, get and grip.

And it is very easy to remember the bad streaks because they are ALL bad streaks, never good. You seem to have trouble believing other people

By all means do more of your own testing, it will show over and over again that 20% is never attained. That is fact, whether I write it down or not.

We are reporting a bug here which you have agreed is a bug, so what is your problem? Grow up and move on.

And why are you sorry for being co-operative and useful? You should be sorry for being pedantic and condescending

It’s not a case of remembering all the salvages, it’s an easy thing to spot. I tend to salvage a lot when my bags get full, so I easily salvage 40 to 50 items at a time. I should be getting about 8-10 runes with that and when you constantly get 2 or 3 it’s very easy to ‘remember’. No gut feeling, no guesses, just fact

And the data you provided Wethospu just backs up what we were already saying :rolleyes:

Vague guessing? Nothing vague about it and no guessing involved either. It’s nor rocket science. At 20% you should theoretically get 1 in 5, and it most definitely is not this ratio

Cheaper to log out and back in, saves 1s 39c

I have noticed this for a long time. I use the copper-fed salvage kit which has the same stats as a basic one with the same 20% rate.

And I too have salvaged 1000’s of items and it is a very rare occasion that the rune or sigil is recovered. It most certainly isn’t 20%

Same happening to me. A fix is to log out and back in again and then you are free of the tendril

Nope, you are wrong. The listing doesn’t show the average price, it should show the lowest purchase price available. Always has as far as I know

Test it yourself, search for an item, a sword maybe. The listing will show the lowest price.

Then type ‘nomad’ in the search box and see the recipes. You will see they are all high priced. And to prove the bug, just click one. Say the 19 gold one. Click that and you will see the lowest price is now 10 silver. Then click go back to listing and hey presto, it’s now listed as 10 silver! But if you search again, the 19 gold price shows in the listing.

I can confirm this bug. Search for the Nomad recipes. They are listed as costing lots of gold, but when you click them, they actually cost a few silver. One is listed at 19 gold, but clicking it will show you can get it for 14 silver! The 19 gold price is further down the list for the recipe

For some reason it isn’t showing the lowest price for these recipes, but instead it is showing some of the highest prices

Just giving this a gentle nudge back up

Is you UI set to Large? It’s a bug I reported several times for the large UI and it’s been around for months.

The only fix is to use a different size UI until the devs fix it themselves.

My post:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Large-UI-still-has-bugged-text/first#post4171908

It’s an easy fix. They added a new POI this update where the new portal is. You just need to discover it

This is still bugged after many months. The large UI does not display bullet points correctly in descriptions, it instead displays foreign alphabet letters.

This only happens in the Large setting, all other UI display settings are fine.

So instead of simple bullet point separator, we get letters like Á É

I know it’s a minor display bug, but it would be nice to get it tidied up

Hmmmm, 14 minutes after the sale, the coins finally showed up. Guess it was just lag in the Trading Post, which means it will probably be down for maintenance soon :p

Something strange just happened. I sold 88 copper ore for an immediate sale, but there was nothing to pick up!

This is the first time I have seen this. My transactions show I sold the ore, but there were no coins to collect.

As a test, I sold 1 log for 48 copper, again there was nothing to pick up. Then, after a small delay, there was 59 coppers to pick up! So that doesn’t make sense either. I sold the ore for 1s 5c so it was about 88 silver I was supposed to get.

Can this be looked into please

Yep, I can confirm this. I ran into this spider yesterday and it took a decent group of us an absolute age to kill it. And what did it drop? A spider’s leg. lol. The second time I saw it spawn, I helped to hit it for a few minutes before getting bored carrying on with my map completion. About 30 minutes later it came up the spider was dead, I had forgotten about it!

It’s health must be huge and it’s certainly not worth killing it

The other day a group of minion master necros grouped up, 25 to 40 of them I think, and proceeded to run around WvW and simply melt reinforced gates. According to some guild members who were having fun with it, the gates lasted about 30 seconds!

I’m not sure if this is a good thing but it could be a WvW spoiler, or is it OK?

I don’t have a MM necro so I have no idea how they were doing it. How long before WvW is full of necro armies? hehe

Thought I’d give this a gentle nudge back up

There were lots of nice updates and many bug fixes this time around, but the simple text bug in the large UI is still there. Instead of the separator “-” in many descriptions it shows a letter E or A with accents over them. Switching to normal or small shows the correct text separator.

Surely this is a simple quick fix. I know it’s not vital, it’s just an annoying niggle

For quite a while now, many in game descriptions are separated by the letter E with an accent over it instead of a ‘dot’ and I didn’t know why.

I have just discovered that this only happens if the UI is set to Large. Setting it to Small, Normal or Larger displays the separator correctly with a ‘dot’

I have a 27 inch monitor with a 2560 × 1440 display, so Large is my preferred UI setting.

It would be nice to make this surely simple fix in time for the feature pack release please

Just thought I’d nudge this back up. Would be a nice easy little extra Chrimbo pressie

;)

Would it be possible to have the bank act the same as the inventory so we get automatic stacking and a compact option?

Also, the 250 limit on items seems a bit low, I’m getting stacks of account bound mats building up and taking up normal bank slots, and I’m sure others are getting the same.

Please Santa

StinVec.3621:

For many players, enabling the ‘Best Texture Filtering’ graphic setting causes text to display more clearly in the ‘small’ Trading Post interface size.

Well with my high res, I made the UI go to large. I have best texture filtering on. I can just about read it, but it looks terrible.

I have just upgraded to a higher res monitor and so changed the size of everything in game. Everything looks really nice … except the horrible Trading Post font. If the UI is set to anything other than normal, the font in the TP just loses all clarity.

I think someone spoke of this a few months ago. I know it’s not a game breaking bug, but surely it’s an easy fix?

I used to get this a lot too, especially when rotating the camera. I fixed it by turning off the option “Right click to attack / interact”

Also, with ground targeting, instead of clicking where to put it, just hit the appropriate key when the target is positioned by the mouse. For instance, hit 2, position target with mouse, hit 2 again.

Other than that, I don’t know what else to suggest

I don’t know if this is a game wide thing, but on Blacktide EU server, the Drill Sergeants in Claypool aren’t doing anything, just stood there. Haven’t seen them working for a number of days now, even after updates.

Makes it a bit easier to get the hearts I suppose.

Not just me then. Good to see ANet are on the case at least

Logging out and in seems the easiest fix for now if you don’t want to spend any copper

I was looking to spend some karma at the WvW karma vendor and I was looking at the level 80 rares, Knights. I suddenly realised that no Knights boots are for sale in the medium armour, instead it has the gloves listed twice!

Should be a quick easy fix ANET

Lol, that would be a start

Is this ever going to happen, if not, why?

Bags do it, mats going into the bank do it, but the main bank itself doesn’t auto-stack. Instead we have to search through to see if we already have some of a particular item to save a space or 2.

Please consider bringing this in, I really don’t see why it isn’t already there …

100% agree with Clockwork. Very well said

I would buy this in an instant if it was account bound. I change characters often and have 6 character slots. At around £8 per tool, it would cost me £24 to get all 3 tools (presuming they are releasing all 3 again), that’s £24 x 6 to kit out everyone … £144!

The soulbound part is making me not buy them and I would imagine others are not buying them for the same reason.

I have the same problem. Did one tower then ran over to the one by the Monastery. I did the escort and ran to the top of the tower and the chest was already open too. And although I have been to 2 towers, it only has me registered as doing 1

I’ve only been playing Mesmer for a little while but I have already seen a couple of annoying things. If these have already been mentioned elsewhere, forgive me. Like I said, I’m new to Mesmer

They are both to do with the great sword.

GS5, which is the knock-back, sometimes the mob is instantly back in your face. Most times it works fine, they get up from a distance and start running back to you. But occasionally they get up from a distance and are instantly teleported back to me.

The second is with GS1 and a weird obstruction bug. I was stood right next to a mob (well chicken actually, was doing the ambient killer daily) and was trying to blast it but all that came up was ‘obstructed’. This also happened on a door while doing my story line. No matter how close I stood or at what angle, it kept saying ‘obstructed’

Lol, no I don’t have the 8 infused crystals, I have 3. I have enough to make them and I duly saved enough up to do them all at once … or so I thought. I haven’t touched the burping game after so many people say how rubbish it is, and I have since been trying to get the sprint, but there are now too many good players who just blast around the course

To be honest, I’m on 13/16 achievements and struggling. I am rubbish at the jumping puzzles but it seems we have to do them to get the kites. I have tried and rage quit the game yesterday after many failed attempts at just the one in Caledonian Forest. I can’t win the sanctum sprint after many many many tries and I only just discovered I can only transform 25 quartz once per day.

So, I think I am not going to make it in time, if I make it at all. So if I fail to get the node, will the price of the quartz go through the roof as other players look to cash in on players who failed the event?

Well I didn’t know that. Only done a very small amount of PvP, I’m still a noob.

Thanks for the info everyone
