They worked on expansions while adding hair options, Goldfox

@ThomasC A whole texture on a wire model could be an explanation, it seems to work that way in SWTOR as well. But then that should be changed. It’s really a big grief for me, I want my character to be as customizable as possible.

For humans and Norn, provide more eyebrows as well as eyebrow colors so we can match hair color. I love white hair, but I have to have dark brown eyebrows to go with it because there is no other option. For a game that prides itself on aesthetic beauty, this is an inexplicable shortcoming.

Inexplicable, because I see no reason why it’s not implemented. Do eyebrows provide an inherent difficulty as opposed to hair? Anet has shown they have no problem making new hair and hair colors, so why not the eyebrows? Did eyebrows wrong them in another life?

As Yintzer.5831 posted, “I honestly can’t understand why this simple but very common feature in other games was left out here. Especially because it’s obvious Anet cared about customization.”

I still think this should be implemented even if the achievements are permanent. 3 maps in a row, over 5 pple voted for Coliseum and another map got picked every time. That’s 60 minutes wasted. People don’t have hours and hours for this. Because before that, we hardly got Coliseum either.

Thanks! What a relief.

5 times in a row, not even exaggerating, the game consistently picks the map 1 person votes for, ignoring 5 to 6 others.

I get that for permanent achievements you have all the time in the world, but not for temporary ones. I am sick of queing.

Ok now it’s the 7th map in a row. Really? Come on

For map-specific, temporary achievements, provide an option to queue only for that map. From 10.30 in the morning till 19.30 in the evening! I haven’t gotten a single Coliseum win because my team composition was horrible and the Coliseum map popped maybe once every 2 hours. I love GW2 but this is beyond annoying, Anet.

Good thing no maps have temporary achievements as of two patches ago..

You can find those changes in the patch notes.

I don’t see those changes. I’ve gone back three patch notes.

That’s great news, where did you find out about that?

Yesterday, my team was 4 revenants and 1 guardian. Today 4 guardians (don’t recall the last class). We were pitted against a 2 ranger/engineer/mesmer/guardian team so no surprise how that ended. Anet, please re-examine the mechanicsm for balancing teams.
Update 12/21: 4 guardians, 1 necro

Agreed, this is just horrible. So much time wasted. Why not just let us queue for that map only?

Bumped because still relevant. Trying to get the coliseum achievements and now 5 times the game picked the map 1 person voted for instead of the coliseum which 6/7 people vote for. It’s frustrating.

Once again, eyebrow colors that match hair colors. Let us choose them. Dark brown eyebrows with every hair color? That’s aesthetically very unpleasing for such a beautiful game. Kindly stop adding hair colors for now and fix the eyebrow colors first.

Sir Alric.5078:

Like the title says, is being rude to the PC for no good reason whatsoever a new trend or something? First Marjory, now Braham…. Who’s next?
Going with this flow, is Kasmeer going to greet us with a middle finger and a spit in our face when she finally comes back from oblivion? Because…. reasons? WTF??!

/Rant.

I don’t understand this either. After having gone through so much together, the commander deserves better from Marjory and Braham. Their behavior makes no sense.

I’ve really liked season 3 so far, this episode is no different. Especially the part with Aurene was just adorable. But when Braham appeared it went downhill.

I like the new map and the hearts & events there, but there were too many items for my inventory. The spawn rate/speed of enemies was through the roof and the distance at which some veterans were able to detect and attack was unreal.

I wasn’t overly fond of Braham to begin with but now I full on detest him. This isn’t just grieving, this is being selfish, nasty, disrespectful and irresponsible. He may be Norn, but the first Norn I knew was Jora and she knew when to seek help and remained respectful despite the hell she was going through. Not Braham. He crossed the line several times with the way he addressed the Commander, even going so far as to say someone who orchestrated the fight against two dragons wouldn’t be welcomed by Eir into Destiny’s Edge. That can’t be fixed by any sorry that may follow later. I think we’re meant to temporarily dislike him until he comes around but I don’t want him in Dragon’s Watch anymore. What also really stung is that Rox didn’t say anything to defend the Commander. Instead of telling Braham he was out of line, she just stood there and when he told her to follow, she just did. As for the Commander, at first keeping calm out of respect for what Braham is going through, fine, but not becoming angry at these insults? Not stopping him from endangering so many lives? That’s just not realistic. “He certainly doesn’t want to be around me right now.”? Who cares! Braham can leave and take Rox (Braham is bae), Marjory (nobody tells me what to do) and Kasmeer (who?) with him. Taimi, Canach and Rytlock I like.

Yeah they finally showed up completely north in the map, and then at the pond again, thanks. We were starting to think it was bugged.

A few people have been running around this pond, myself for nearly half an hour now, and no Class I Magic Rifts appears so we can’t start the current event.

“Studio has regularly conversations about differences between male and female armors. Things like skimpy male armors are being discussed.”

Yay, a step in the right direction:

http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/gw2-mistward-revenant-heavy-armor-male.jpg

but then Envoy Armor:

http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/gw2-envoy-armor-light-male.jpg

So, no. No more accepting this. Give us female players what you give male players. No discussion is needed for what should be a given: gender equality.

Not asking to stop making skimpy armor for female characters, but add elegant and kitten light armor with pants so that I can run around in more than underwear and a glorified bra. Add kitten light armor for male characters that doesn’t cover them from neck to toe like a prude.

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/35802-armor-style-what-do-you-expect-or-want-image-heavy-thread/page__st__4230#entry563161

The post following the one I linked here had this reaction:

“BTW: Could the guy on right have been more gay (gayer?)? lol”

Exactly the kind of reaction that will never go away until gender equality becomes the norm. Progress has to be pioneered so stop being stagnant and change for the better.

And it is overdue, just look at some of the threads on the issue:

Bumped because it isn’t fixed at all. My computer is massively OP for this game, latest drivers and Guild Wars 2 continues to be the only game that crashes, black screen, sound, no choice but to hard reboot my computer. Yeah I’m sorry, I’ve given Anet enough time to fix it. I’m out.

1) only 4 days to gather blooms with an inadequate reward system, expecting players to grind like crazy if going for 450 blooms – if you’re lucky not to get dc’d – people just cannot play that much, I want the Selfless Potion but I’m so stressed about having to play every hour during the entire day for 3 days to get it.

2) the break during the events

3) the cost of the items is too high with the low amount of blooms given + new players often don’t have 10 g lying around

4) enemies not scaling up and dying so fast you can’t even hit them

5) because the rewards are so low, it encourages a tag & run approach so that you can get as many blooms as possible

Quoting King of Aces (https://www.reddit.com/user/KingofAces) on reddit:

“Its everything they talked about not wanting to teach players…
Selfishly tagging and moving on, not helping others, zerging, repetitive and grindy. Individually based instead of rewarding an entire map for working together (say they kill 29 total in 30minutes rather than 20 individually) There’s no regular drops from mobs, and crazy amount of grind for rewards.
It just feels lazy and really disappointingly unlike Gw2, it feels like they’ve taken a step backwards from all the progress they made with mawdrey and SW, or even old content like nightmare of towers. just wtf is this?”

I too am quite disappointed with this event.

1) launched with a bug that prevents players from getting rewards!
2) only 4 days to gather blooms with an inadequate reward system, expecting players to grind like crazy if going for 450 blooms – if you’re lucky not to get dc’d – people just cannot play that much
3) the break during the events

In general i’m really sick of the instability of the servers too, just repeating that here. I’m sure there’s more but yeah this event has done nothing but stress me. Sad.

Game is completely unplayable for me right now, been trying to log in for an hour now, error 7:11:3:191:101 too, game is stuck on state_server_wait, other times it won’t stream. I can log into the Grove but when I try to change maps it won’t work half the time.

Ty for taking the time to detail the adventures, your effort’s appreciated I didn’t do any of them because they were almost always unavailable due to the required quest line being bugged. The only active adventure I saw was the Salvage Pit, but I was unable to salvage anything, I couldn’t pick anything up.

I searched the bug subform for events but couldn’t find a topic so creating one.

*The Shrouded Ruins waypoint is perma contested.
*The event with Laranthir and that other NPC who you have to escort is bugged, the npc’s aren’t moving.
*The soldier escorts are bugged, they don’t spawn.
*The event at the Jaka Itzel waypoint to fill the baskets is bugged, 2 baskets can’t be found/filled.

There isn’t a single event to do during the daytime, I hope this will be looked into soon because now we’re all just waiting till nighttime and hoping it won’t bug then too.

Still crashing on this as well, today again.

Bumped for relevance.

The glitch still exists, and now also when I use Swoop instead of moving forward I stay on the spot every now and then.

Bumped because it’s still bugged.

Bumped because still relevant, excessive messaging after sending 3 mails, really? Anet please do something about this, it’s annoying.

Confirmed, shouts have broken for quite a while now. I miss hearing my elementalist.

Yeah I can’t get in either, been trying for over 3 hours now.

Edit: I was able to get in before the latest fix too. I want to add that I waited during part of the day cycle, a full night cycle, then another part of the day cycle, but nothing happened, the door does not become interactive.

@ ShieldBash : he’s not preventing others from playing the game, he just doesn’t want to pvp with them

@ brannigan: do you talk that way to people in person as well?

There are mmo’s where you don’t get put in a team with a person you’ve blocked for pve content (not sure about pvp). It can be abused yes and I suppose that’s why it is not implement but I for one would also like the possibility to not be teamed up with certain players in pvp.

And add a slider for tattoo intensity.

Make it possible to change the colour of facial hair like eyebrows and stubble during character customisation.

At the very least we should be able to match the colour of eyebrows to hair colour.

Agreed. Turrets should be removed from pvp.

I think it’s the Silverwastes map. I just got disconnected during Vinewrath, after the first boss. Couldn’t get back into the map, so goodbye to all that effort, I didn’t get the reward chest either which is unfair since I participated. My computer can handle GW2 graphically just fine, even at max settings, and I have a high speed internet connection. Same thing happens during Tequatl.

Bumping because still can’t hear my ele when he switches attunements. Has there been any word from Anet as to when they will fix this bug?

Yeah my elementalist doesn’t use his attunement shouts anymore either

bump cuz still relevant

+1

Yeah it’s working again now, except now my guild chat is bugged. “You are not in a guild.”

Hey all.

Downloaded (part of?) the patch, now the client gives an error:

Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…

My internet connection is perfectly fine, so it’s the client.

I have this problem too, but logging completely in and out of the game didn’t help. I’ve contacted customer support, we’ll see what happens.

:( Yeah no SAB or Mini Mystical Dragon.

Bumped because still an issue. I just tried to send some a mail, sent another mail that was empty and failed and thus never got sent, then when I tried to send the third mail: “Your message was suppressed due to excessive messaging.”
How is sending 3 messages excessive?

I just managed to load, it’s fixed.

Yep stuck there too with my warrior, as are two others in my party.

It’s still not fixed, happened to me just now.

Yeah I’ve been trying for a while now, it’s still nearly impossible, especially with the megaserver.

/signed

It’s virtually impossobile to get now.

Making this mini account bound on top of the terrible drop rate was not a good decision. One or the other, but not both. I had to buy the mini polar bear, I never got the drop, but that option doesn’t even exist here.

What I don’t get is what’s the point in putting it in everyone’s Wardrobe if only the Chinese market can get it. Doesn’t make sense.
