Guild Wars 2

After repairing the game several times, running Scandisk, and reinstalling GPU drivers as suggested as a ticket response, with no success; I finally solved the issue. The magic trick was to remove Local.dat.

Really doubt anyone else had this problem.

A few days ago I spam-joined a party 5+ times when LFG menu didn’t respond (clicking “Join” didn’t get me into the party). A little while after, the normal “You have joined too many parties recently” message showed up together with the greyed-out “Join” button.
When I got back into the game the next day and wanted to do a fractal, LFG menu didn’t open at all.

When I click Y (default), the icon lightens up, but no menu appears. Clicking the icon doesn’t help either. I’ve tried repairing the game, and ironically, the LFG menu works perfect on my alt account on the same PC, but not on this one anymore.

I couldn’t find any related topics so I’ve posted a ticket for this, and make the thread in case anyone else have this problem. To all the others, enjoy your working LFG!

Daniel Oldstone.2796:

I have one Ask, Can convert Fractal Relics into Pristine Fractal Relic ?

Nope, only the opposite way works. (1 Pristine to 15 Normal relics)

I already knew this would happen when I first looked at the masteries. I guess the easiest way to solve this problem is to make the troll tagging reportable. First with a warning and something like a 1 week suspension, to be followed up by a permanent removal of the functionality if the player still abuse it (if reports are taken seriously, of course). If I’m new to the game and see a mentor tag, I expect that person to help out, not to pull trains and whine about the noobs they’ve actually set a mark to show their help for.

I just thought about this and made some jokes about missing to loot precursors if autoloot wouldn’t work in WvW. Just to found out it actually doesn’t… what the hell? I can’t see any point in not making it work in WvW. It’s not like it provides some kind of combat favor anyway.

It would also be nice to extend the whole thing with an “UI automization mastery track” or something. With features to auto-deposit collectibles, auto-sell/destroy junk and items without any TP value, auto-salvage and auto-open loot bags. All of that is just boring stuff that nobody wants to do, just like looting.

Confirming this too. Got 12/19, shows 4/19.

Zaoda.1653:

Another mini I’d like to see is a ‘Mini Me’. A mini identical version of your character – even what they wear and wield. I think it would be a great addition because it would sell like hotcakes. I mean, who wouldn’t want a mini version of their character?

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking of for a while too. Only problem is that it might be a risk of confusion in combat, especially as a mesmer (untouchable fake clone, who wants?).

Also having this problem. Got “Network error” after typing in the desired character name, and now I’m entirely locked out from the beta character slot. Restarting and relogging on alt toons or even alt account doesn’t help. The “Create Beta character” button is gone too.

Draknar.5748:

Forcing? Last night’s daily could be completed without PvP…

If you mean the festival specific daily. Well now that’s completely optional. If you want to get a laurel and 3 AP, then you simply need to play two rounds of dragonball. If you want that 4th AP, well then you may have to put some effort.

Of course I’m talking about the Dragonball activity, otherwise I wouldn’t make a post in a thread about it.

Draknar.5748:

I can tell you, though, that the amount of effort required to get that 1 AP is totally not worth it. Just goof off in Dragonball for 2 rounds, open your 6 envelopes, and light some firecrackers. Should take you no more than 10-12min to do all.

Saying you’re forced to do anything in this game is simply incorrect. You force yourself to do stuff because you want something specific, in this case 1AP….

I’m an achievement hunter. As this specific activity has time-gated achievement points, I’m forced to do this if I want all of my dailies. It would be a completely different story if it wasn’t, like the Keg Brawl which I only play when I really feel like it. Sure I’m not forced to play GW2 at all, but now it’s a fact that I do that, just like the OP, and therefore we see a problem and make a thread about it.

Ayrilana.1396:

You do realize that the entire event is centered around that activity?

So making it a grind is OK just because it’s the main point of the update? Wintersday 2015: One Christmas tree which should be looted 15 million times for the meta achievement.

Yamsandjams.3267:

It could be worse… like a win 5 keg brawl matches daily.

And it could be better. Like 3 Daily PvP matches played, wins or losses, like the ordinary daily before.

SlackerATC.5934:

5 Dragon ball wins a day, are you serious? I really want to play a luck based pvp game for an hour every day, thanks.

I also reacted the same way. The entire point of nerfing the previous daily system was to let us have fun instead of grinding, then they come up with this. Forcing people to PvP is never a good thing, and it shouldn’t take long until we have a load of afk’ers in this activity.

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

Dominator and Yakslapper are achievable. I know people who have gotten them. The one that makes me laugh is the SMC caps title (Ultimate Liberator). 25 thousand SMC caps. I think I have around 800 from 2 years of playing. I can never see myself capping it 25k times before the game’s lifespan is over.

Ultimate Defender is pretty hilarious too. Defend SMC 500,000 times. Since defense runs on 3 minute cycles, and you are only awarded one successful defense every 3 minutes, that means that you would have to spend 1.5 million minutes, or 25,000 hours, or ~1042 days of your life (close to 3 years) only defending SMC nonstop. LOL

Yakslapper sounds very impressive, that’s five dollies a minute for five months, or one dolly a minute since Wintersday 2012. I’m still at a moderate 954 slaps…

What really makes me laugh, though, is the Ultimate Stalwart achievement – defend half a million supply camps. Half a million. I have 16.000 achievement points, 4.100 hours, and WvW rank 1.650 in the game, and I’ve this far defended 34 camps in total. This will take many, many generations, not to mention evolutions…

Bump.

Tried to contact TxS leader (european version of NA TTS) and haven’t recieved any reply within half a week. Any other suggestions?

My experience only have two answers.

1. The WvW borderland where you start at the bottom right corner. Slaughter ambients towards the east camp and you will get 90% of your daily before even leaving the safe zone.
2. Forewarned is Forearmed, level 60 Vigil personal story step in the Lion’s Arch sewers. An endless stream of rats respawning in just seconds makes this the most ambient infested place in the game (often recommended for weapon master achievements). This place doesn’t work for Maize balm farming – you can spawn elementals, but they won’t drop any loot.

Joseph.9853:

You best bet would be TTS then, in my opinion. You can apply to them at ttsgamers.net

I would recommend you RISE, but because you went straight for Triple Trouble, TTS may be your best bet. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply! Totally forgot about the thread until today Tried accessing the TTS website you linked but it seems to be down. Any ideas of an in-game contact for this guild?

Edit: Never mind. Just googled it and it was just .com instead of .net. Stupid of me.

Honestly? 3/10.

Horrible face and weapon skin, but the cultural armor is nice and the dyes kinda fits the mesmer (though I would personally go magenta/white for a cleaner look). Or it’s just me being too boring

Sharing a few pics of my Elementalist, which I one day hope I will love for more than just its looks.

Hi folks!

I’m currently looking for a guild doing organized Triple Trouble runs. Been stuck at 8/10 achieves for more than half a year now, so it would be nice to complete it and perhaps learn a bit more about the event. I don’t have time to run it on a daily basis, but will at least try to be there whenever I can. I have Teamspeak 3 installed, and will of course join your channel during the events.

Infos about me (if needed): http://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=User:Q4Rspwn

Hope to see you soon!

GM Aurora.8530:

Finally, all this is subject to change at any time because we are always working on improving the resources that are available to us. I’m not going to say that we will never restore guild banks, nor will I promise that we’ll be able to do it in the future, but I hope this post helps everyone to understand a little bit why we are currently not restoring guild banks.

I am personally wondering if it’s too hard just to make items guildbound. I have had banners for as long as I know that I will never get any use of, and therefore could pass on to the guild for anyone to use. With guildbound food, members can withdraw and consume it normally, but not be allowed to trade it (like it’s soulbound). Then there should be a maximum withdrawing limit (10 pieces of something per day, for example) before the leader recieves a mail and have to approve it manually.

Is this a stupid idea? I mean, this means that anything put in the guild bank will automatically be bound to the guild. Which of course means that the guild bank can’t be used as a personal storage bank, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be something like that from the very beginning.

And yes, sorry for the bump. Just got into a discussion with a friend about this, and didn’t want to start a new thread about the same subject.

Sparkfly gave me a crash with the same error code yesterday as well. It’s working now, but unfortunately it seems related to more than just Sparkfly Fen. One of my other characters threw this code at me in the Bloody Prince story instance yesterday, and now I repeatedly get it after creating a charr and trying to enter Fury of the Dead.

I’ve bought two of those tools and got the same problem aswell. Activating autowalk will just result in one gathering before the character runs away from the tree. Hope it’ll get fixed soon

Wanze.8410:

Someone else (or you) posted the same sell window a couple of days ago, so it might be a glitch.

Found it:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/I-am-now-the-richest-man-in-GW2/first

Maybe want to report in bug forum.

I’m not spending hours checking every single topic in the forum to find exactly what I want to post. And if I actually would do that, I would definitely not post another topic just because someone else created it in the first place.

Aseity.4658:

I have no clue what you are on about….

Can somebody translate the message of this topic?

I can give you a hint: 112 Eternities. Still don’t get it? They’re pretty expensive. The 1st of April is next Tuesday, then you’re very welcome back telling everyone 560.000 gold isn’t impressive.

Moved over some junk from my collections to inventory and opened up TP to find out what was sellable… got quite a fun response from it

• 68x Abyss Dyes
• 405x 20-slot bags/boxes
• 170x ceremonial tridents
• 219x charged cores
• 37x Globs of ectoplasm
• 112x Eternity Greatswords (legendary, not listable due to the fee of 21.999 gold)
• 237x Mystic Forge Conduits
• 158x Superior runes of Holding
• 74x Unidentified dyes
• 1234g, 56s, 78c cash balance

I felt like this weekend would be awesome for a while there…

Nevermind, just checked the achievements and it seems like the achievements for EotM are updated. Checking the game before Dulfy is not a bad thing xD

I’ve spent an hour looking in LA, Divinity’s Reach, Gendarran Fields and EotM for her. Wiki and Dulfy says she’s is supposed at the top of Main Haven Headquarters or somewhere around it, but she simply isn’t there. Is this achievement obsolete?

I strongly agree to this, it annoys me a lot in WvW. There are often small groups of 2 thieves and possibly a mesmer standing close to the spawn point, taking out everything coming in their way if there isn’t an entire zerg facing them (well, then they just enter stealth and get away safely). Fun thing is that like 70-80% of the thieves I’m actually seeing there have ranks like Invader, Soldier or Assaulter. It makes me feel bad about wasting tons of time on a ranger when I just can choose a thief and win.

At GH we were so many looking for him tonight that we set up a train to find him xD we ran for about 15-20 minutes, and when we finally decided to give up, he all of a sudden popped just beside us…

Gotta revive this topic instead of making a new one myself.

I’m currently stuck at 82/83 and I’ve got no idea of what I’m missing, or how to check it. The hint completion number have obviously increased since I’ve tried out several races and professions. Still don’t get what the problem could be? Is there any chance it’s profession- or racebound?

These are the characters I’ve got:
Level 80 Human Guardian
Level 80 Human Ranger
Level 80 Norn Warrior
Level 80 Asura Thief
Level 52 Sylvari Elementalist
Level 22 Asura Mesmer
Level 11 Sylvari Necromancer
Level 11 Charr Engineer

None of those have finished personal story, if that makes any sense. It’s getting annoying to have this junk as a perma reminder in the top-three nearly completed achievements list…

I got this error today aswell, got thrown out of a dungeon with error 191:101 which I’m getting at least twice a week, followed by this. Last time I tried the port shortcut thing it worked, now it doesn’t, but after a fresh restart of my PC it all seems to work fine again.

Allisa Wonderland.8192:

Calling “manipulated” demonstrates your misunderstanding of supply and demand.

Yes, you’re correct about “supply and demand”, and incorrect about the rest. “Supply and demand” is exactly what’s needed for rich people to ruin currencies. It’s also called hyperinflation. If the silk scraps have been for sale at 8c for almost four months, and just poff raises to 2 silver, it doesn’t have anything with “supply and demand” for tons of people to do whatsoever. The rich ones will buy the cheapest high-demanded materials possible, wait for a dramatic increase of the value, and then sell them again. Just look at the newspaper, the history of the 1st World War, TV, Google or whatever, and it’ll also show off in real world very well.

Buttercup.5871:

Everybody and their mother needs 300 silk scraps per day. Most can’t farm that amount in one day. It’s a LOT. So the price will only go up. The price rise will stop once it becomes too expensive for the majority of players to buy silk, and an equilibrium is found at the highest acceptable price point.

I suspect that on the 21st the price will go down. But it all depends on when Anet implements craftable precursors (causing massive deflation) and in which area the next LS update will take place.

300 silk scraps a day? That’s how you explain me as nobody. I hope you aren’t serious about that. I’ve got all the professions, races and crafting disciplines in the game, and 5.650 AP’s so far. I’ve yet not used 300 silk scraps since I began playing GW2. So I seriously doubt that my mother, who doesn’t even know what GW2 is, would get any use of it.

Thanks for all the replies, nice that I wasn’t alone with those problems yesterday (even my guildies had them). Error code was 7:11:3:191:101, which scared me a little after searching the forum, but after being away for two hours it worked fine again. Possibly due to maintenance or such things, I’m currently at Gunnar’s Hold (EU) server.

Old thread, but as the problem doesn’t have seem to be solved yet, I’ll share my experience:

Yesterday: 2 total game crashes (had to do the ctrl-alt-del thing to get response from pc), 1 connection loss
Today: 8 connection losses in the last 19 minutes, connection to the internet is fine and has been stable for three weeks (wired, no router). Restarted game several times, restarted pc, checked hdd smart, checked firewall. Still no change at all, it keeps throwing connection errors at me. Very nice while almost finishing a personal story step, aye?

XacTactX.6709:

I’ve noticed this too and it gets in the way of using it. Trying to do a fast melody doesn’t work because the notes following the first one don’t register correctly, etc.

EDIT Also I love the MSI reference in your account name, not very often that I see a reference like that.

It’s getting quite annoying, as I’m working on the monkey island intro theme, and have to visit the acitivity and play all the songs there every time I want to practice it. I wonder if I should post a video and report it as a bug?

Haha! I was quite out of creativity while creating my account, and had just finished building my new rig, so the name went totally random

Am I the only one who’ve brought myself an unbreakable choir bell and experienced how darn slow it’s catching up the notes? I don’t really know if this is a problem just for me, but every time I press a key, there’s always like a 1-1.5 second delay before playing the note. If I press all the keys simultaneously (my keyboard can register 64 keys at a time), it’ll just play 2 (or, in rare cases, 3) of the 8 notes pressed. The weird thing is that the bell choir activity have no such problems at all.

I’ve got a 94/12 Mbit wired connection (real speed) with a ping of 9ms, and I hardly doubt it’s caused by a connectivity problem. It just feels so bad when I’ve saved up 25g for that bell, and then… it doesn’t work…

I’m very sure they’ll drop. The whole TP seems manipulated since Christmas, where the Silk Scrap price is one of the most extreme examples, with a price raised by more than 1500% as far as I can remember. Lucky me just sold a full stackpile of those yesterday for 4.15g (last time I did it they went for like 30 silver). Other good manipulated examples are discarded garments (50c > almost 4s), tattered hides (31c > 6c), orichalcum ore (5.5s > almost 9s > 3.3s and now 3.8s) and ghost peppers (might even have a daily fluctuation rate).
