Guild Wars 2

Astral Projections.7320:

It’s definitely a problem when you mix and match different armor sets. The colors often won’t be the same. The coat may be darker than the leggings, for example, even though the dye and the materials are the same. Sometimes you can get around it by finding a similar color, lighter or darker, and using that to make it match.

Yes I agree, but the more frustrating thing about it is, this is a full Orion set, it’s not mixed and matched. Which was why, originally, I thought it was a bug

I must say, it is so nice to be on a forum where you get constructive and re-assuring responses.

Thank you all, I do understand better as to why this is happening now, even if I think it is incredibly frustrating!

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. I was not aware of the differences intended on different material types. I find this quite bizarre, but can see where you are coming from.

I guess what I still don’t understand is, if there are three entries in the Wiki that state three different colour types as per the three different material types then why is the colour different on all cloth? For example: my headpiece is not metal, nor leather; it’s cloth. As is my bottom half, that is in fact, cloth.

Again, I lay in wait for someone for Anet to just clarify this for us wonderful players.

Thanks

As much as I appreciate your response, it would be good to hear from the designers as to why this is. Maybe a 100% answer on if it is working as intended? I just find it rather frustrating and more like a ‘rip off’ for someone wishing to dye their set with an expensive rare!

Thanks

Hello Game Designers,

Any update on this?

Thanks

Hello,

I am currently bearing a full Arah set (level 80, naturally). I am a Asuran and are currently going for a red/black colour scheme.

I went to the TP and bought the Midgnight Fire dye.

The issue I am currently having is that the Midnight Dye shows up as a pure black (as it should) on only certain parts of my armour and brown on others. This is, as far as I am concerned, a bug. Surely these other sections of my armour should reflect the same jet black, mat black that reflects on my other pieces of my level 80 Arah set?

To be honest, it’s bad enough having the Arah headpiece look like a paper bag on my poor little Asurans head!

Picture attached and I look forward to your response.

Thanks

This boss IS hard, in fact, I would compare him to one of the most hardest bosses I HAVE experienced in game and as far as I am aware, that is 99% of them.

This boss is do-able, however, there are obvious glitches that should not be there. A closer WP would be useful to be honest. I understand the reason for removing the other, glitching is not acceptable. Surely putting one closer that is ‘out of the way’ from glitching though isn’t that hard?

I wouldn’t hate this boss anywhere near as much as I do if it weren’t for the random resets. Before you trolls jump on in and say that ‘keeping it doted’ or ‘being in it’s range’ or ‘being more than 100 people within 2 milimetres whilst nuking and tanking and bubbling blablabla’ I have been there, done that and got the t-shirt. Regardless, this boss still randomly resets. I don’t understand why this boss isn’t just set to ‘reset on exit of arena’? I mean, it’s not like we can sit back and rest whilst he doesn’t reset in the arena? He’s on your all the time as it is….

Anyway -

In my opinion, this boss is hard, but not impossible. Working together and communicating is the key. Finding a pug that does that is a bit of a joke and having to wait for the same group all the time to be able to do the dungeon whilst hoping the entrance isn’t bugged, which it is most of the time, is a completely different post. But, the removal of certain bugs would be nice.

lol at developers commenting on other threads and bypassing others. All we wanted was an answer.

heh, turning into another mmo I once played.

Ok, so I have just tried this again with a completely different group with the same issue. Has anyone actually completed him since the patch?

This is ridiculous. Again, we had people right on him he ghosted to me, right next to them and then reset once he killed me.

Yes, he resets quite often and has been doing so for quite a while. Some common things to check for is if a thief in your party has the trait that automatically stealths you at a specific % of HP. This one has cause a reset many times for me.

If he is however, resetting more than usual as you seem to indicate, then that’s a huge problem. Arah really doesn’t need more bugs than what it already has >.<

Would you not see yourself as stealth-ed? Didn’t notice it, but there was a thief. Really not sure it was that though.

upicus is usually focusing 1 specific person. If that person leaves his aggro, and his aggro is not instantly (literally instantly) regained, he’ll reset.

This happens most to me when someone stealths my friend (who is usually the lupicus target)

Try bringing a necro along, their bleeds usually prevent lupicus from ever resetting as long as the necro is alive.

Oh and ive never seen a lupicus reset in phase 3, so I dunno whats going on there if that’s the case.

We had a necro present and he was alive, as part of the three that were on him even when he reset. So, he had dots, we were WELL inside is range of aggro (the Guardian was even mele’ing and there was constant damage.

Should have frapsed. Will do next time, just in case

The strange thing about this, though, is that the way he is resetting is a way I have NEVER experienced before. I have run this particular path/dungeon a fare few times and have never seen this happen.

Nope, at one point when he reset there were three of us right up to him and another mele’ing. Damage was definitely being done…

I was in this guys group (after having to change server so I could actually play this dungeon) and there were always people on him in HIS range as we DO understand that his ranger is shorter than ours.

No matter how many we were (even three) within the boss, in the arena, he still managed to reset…..

Only since latest patch?

Logged in today after a few days away. Still bugged.

What’s actually happening here is that they are perma closing Arah until new content then will re-open it with bugs fixed and say that’s the new dungeon!

Logged on this morning and is still bugged. No response from PM’s, or here.

I agree with Fay. It does amaze me that they can create a new dungeon and content when this minor issue or entering the end game dungeon can’t even be entered.

Even more frustrating that there is no clear view on this situation.

Never mind….

Server reset after new build.

Logged on this morning to try and get in before bug again….too late. Bugged.

When is this build? Would like a reset so I could actually play Arah…

Bugged again, all day. Each time it bugs I will post back here.

I have posted, emailed and PM’d about this regularly.

To this day, I have NEVER seen an official statement about it.

Good luck.

I tried this and tbh, have never looked back.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/FOV-Field-of-View-Changes-Beta-Test/first#post551634

SO I understand that the ‘players helping players’ section is for just that. Then I understand that this is the ‘bug reporting’ forum. But I would love to ask why there is a Question feature on here if no one official responds to the issue raised?

Thanks

IF this is the case then it is ridiculous. Why on gods earth would I buy a shiny, dark black dye for so much money off TP when it turns out BROWN on other armor. Surely this can’t be called Midnight Black?? Or maybe it should be called:

Midnight Black Dye* (*only black on participating armor, brown, yellow or multicolored on others, subject to shiny availability).

Can I pretty please with cherries on top have an official answer on this. Otherwise, I just won’t ever bother buying dyes due to the uncertainty.

Thanks

I understand you are busy, you guys always are and will be. But it would be good to just know if this is a recognized issue, if it’s being worked on, if it’s something that might be done possibly within the next few updates etc?

Thanks

He sounds quite like Brian Blessed to me!

Hello all,

I have been SLOWLY gaining my Arah set (even with the current issues of blocked Meta Chains) and grabbed the headgear last night.

Along with this, I thought it would be a good idea to spruce up my characters coloring a bit! So, I went to the TP and forked out 2.5 gold for a Midnight Fire dye.

For some reason on all other pieces of armor the dye shows as a nice ‘Midgnight’ black and can almost be considered as ‘shiny’, but on the Arah pieces it’s BROWN!

I have attached a photo to show this.

Is this a known bug? Is it meant to be like this?

Thanks

I feel your pain Arsenic. Sina, easily a solution for someone who’s server doesn’t have the issue, esspecially when the issue should not be there in the first place.

Arsenic, I have set up a question about this over at https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Pointless/first#post565101 maybe you could add your frustration there?

Thanks

Yes Jakar, this is a good idea and one I have seen many people do. Thankfully someone had logged a char inside the gate and was advertising last night for a group. Even better that the group was well formed and we did two paths.

I am on this morning again, as it is the weekend and it’s still bugged.

As stated in first post. An update on this please?

Thanks

Hi,

I am seething at the moment after logging on to find Arah, yet again, bugged. Or should I say, the DE chain that leads to the re-opening of the Arah gate bugged, yet again.

This has now been going on for some time. Claims of it being fixed numerous times have flown around, but time after time we are met with the same disappointment.

It is to the point now that we can only get to play it when there is a server reset. At the moment that is FAIRLY often due to the acts in the Halloween event. After that though, we are back to a long weeks wait to be able to run it that whole once before it is bugged again.

I have asked and asked and asked about this issue and have always been met with silence. I find this frustrating but interesting as most issues get a response.

Are the game designers REALLY that stuck on this?

For the people who will inevitably start a post with ’it’s because your not doing the chain event properly or it’s not bugged you just don’t know how to start it’. Well, here is where my information partly comes from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defend_the_Gates_of_Arah.

Please, give the people who are trying for the set, or trying for the weapons or tokens for legendary to have just a tiny bit of a reason as to why now the Gates of Arah have been bugged for 99% of the past MONTH.

Thank you.

PLEASE! For the love of god, PLEASE! Fix the DE that get’s Arah open. Day after day after day so on and so forth bla bla bla it remains bugged and thus, we can not enter.

cries

PLEASE!!!!

+1

It appears to be that Arah is permanently bugged on Gandara. Luckily I have the Halloween event to occupy me at the moment, but being one of the people who are TRYING to get the set for Arah, well, bit of a joke really

Thank you Anthony.

So, the answer to this question is: the ‘Halloween Achievement’ achievement found under the Special Event section of achievements is not ‘working’ because it is intended for ‘further’ acts.

I don’t mind this being the case, it’s just nice to know that I am not doing something wrong.

Also, before the ‘I said this already’ comes in – I prefer to hear things from the horses mouth.

Thanks again Anthony.

It means they basically updated so the trick-or-treat bags count is now 100 and the hunt event is more too.

The ‘Halloween Event’ quest we have yet no answer too. I posted about this already.

Ok,

So after patch I went back to the doors and tried an event again (had to wait a bit for a door that had an event to spawn). Completed event (by myself too) and no update on that achievement.

Went to the other areas in Dred cliffs and other places advised above. Nothing. This gives me an exploration achievement but nothing else.

Can someone PLEASE let all of us know if this is bugged or if we are missing something. You don’t have to give us the answer….just if we have it wrong or if it is bugged.

PLEASE…………

Still no update, but responds to other threads? Maybe we are missing something :/

Ok, I will try them. I will post back here for the people who have the same original question if this is the answer or not.

Existence, thanks for the input, sadly not the case though. Devs answering other posts but not this. Shame

Wrong again Aceboy. Maybe I am not explaining myself clearly?

I have completed Act 1, I have done other achievements in the Special Event section of the Achievements tab. I have also played and completed various DE’s for halloween including the door champion boss mob ones but STILL my achievement ‘Halloween Events’ has not updated.

So, is this a bug, or an I missing the picture?

Thanks

Kezorian, I have not done that achievement yet. As far as I have read it is not ‘there’ yet. If a Dev could answer my question now….that would be nice. Thanks

Azural, you misunderstand my question. I have completed the scavenger hunt. I have completed most of everything but the achievement that specifically states ‘Halloween Events’ does not update or progress even after completing, so said, Halloween achievements….

Any answer to this? No other threads asking the same thing as of yet…

Hi,

Maybe not even a dev, but a player. I have completed events through the doors and champion mobs spawning. In fact, I have completed about 5 of them, but the Halloween event achievement is not budging.

Is this a bug or are there specific events I need to be doing?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have just completed getting the six pages and then handing them in to then receive the book.

My question is: is this it for act 1? Do I need to do anything else or just wait for Friday for Act 2?

Thanks!

Same, I am looking for cross server groups where the entrance isn’t Bugged.

Second bug: Dungeon Reset – We were killing Howling king when one of the team members got disconnected. Howling King was killed and before we get the cutscene and the reward, the disconnected player logged into the game with a different character (don’t ask me why, I have no idea). The whole team was thrown out of the dungeon and we did not get any reward whatsoever.

This one is a well known issue. THe player that got disconnected would be the player who entered the dungeon first. By relogging on a different character it automaticaly re-sets everything for everyone. Let’s hope for a fix to some of these dungeon issues on Monday.

Found a video, shows perfectly what the problem is.

I found that the music and voices just didn’t seem to work at the end. WIth the music and voices all over the place it seemed more like a badly dubbed manga film than a well constructed cut-scene. I could grasp what the dev was getting at, but sadly I missed the feeling he was looking for because sometimes there was silence, or voices and no music. Rather frustrating seing that I love the song 'Fear not this night' and this seems to be the only part of the game it plays?

Heh, maybe I will get to play the story again and see it working when I start an alt.

I have this same problem. I thought it was my keyboard and tried a new one (maybe the key sticking and not recieving the ‘command’). It’s like he stops, wobbles, will do something and then will start to wobble again before he get’s going?

Also, Asura.

I have had exactly this problem, quite a few times. I agree with the issue of the party chat dissapearng too, it was so annoying, but luckily one of my guildies pointed out at the time to check the map chat for his original shout for a group member. Then my guild blacklisted his guild and his user name to not party with.

To be completely honest, this is the only thing you can do. I have added anyone that my guildies have told me about, I have heard in map chat or experienced myself to my block list and I now find this doesn’t happen.

I would start a ‘name and shame’ thread on here, but I am almost 100% sure that it is against ToS of some kind. Don’t worry Gail, I wouldn’t do it unless I was 100% sure ,)

Let’s hope for some kind of ‘comeupance’ for these individuals.
