I don’t know if they will remove them, I guess the idea of levelling tomes was in-line with the “play how u want” motto anet like to state, so that pvp players can level up as well as pve/wvw players equally, just the balance of time spent and rewards is not really equal to pve. I’ve never tried levelling in wvw/eotm so I dunno if this is faster than pvp.

it would be nice to be able to go buy books like that with karma or something else that can be acquired in PvE. Candy corn maybe?
Karma perhaps yes, but no tradeable currency should ever be allowed for buying levels, or it’s literally paying to level up which should never happen.
You can also (currently) buy them with 300x festival tokens.
I’m not sure if grinding events between crown pavillion, daily gauntlet boss rewards and the bazaar is quicker than winning 5 pvp tourney matches or not.

Thanks for the info now this airship is now really useful for my alts travelling, because you can go to any bank, use the pass, put it back in the bank then talk to the npc. (equivalent of LA before it’s destruction). Yes renaming the NPC would make sense.
I really think they should also put this item in the GEM store again, many people who I speak to never knew the perma one existed and just bought the consumable versions.
If they can’t make the game check bags before zoning you out (to see if you are carrying the pass) then simply don’t load the airship when zoning back and ONLY load gendarran fields, as least this way you will only have 2 loading screens getting back and not 3. It’s really ridiculous.

I double checked and I don’t have additional keyboard layouts added.. why would I? I only use UK layout.
The mouse scrolling bug and keyboard sometimes changing to US remain, I hope they fix these bugs, I guess many people don’t realize what accelerated scrolling is or have gotten used to it, suffice to say if you disable it, it will have no impact from within GW2.
When they do fix it you will definitely see the difference immediately as it will be far easier/faster to zoom in and out of character or the map.
This bug exists in both my windows 7 pc and windows 8 laptop, so I’m pretty sure it’s not me.

If you logout while on the airship, you need to wait for 3 loading screen to get back on it. come on anet.. sort this out already.
If you already have the pass in your inventory why are you kicked off the airship when you log back in?
Why does it first load airship, then kick you off and load Gendarran Fields.. then load again to get back on it.
I don’t understand it.
Also it says “quick travel to all cities” on the tooltip of airship pass, but where is this? I don’t see this on the airship.

Those notes (if you want to play immersion part) would only show those waypoints grayed out so you can get to them yourselves. Because you know they’re there from notes.
yes even this would be massively helpful, instead of having to keep alt-tabbing to a map website to find where the waypoints are.
or as Pirlipat.2479 suggests, at least one waypoint per map (or maybe an asura gate to each zone??? if you want immersion)

Like I said, nothing else I use online has any problems.
I can download files from normal web at a steady 6000 KB/s so no problems there and i have no actual gameplay lag, only guild chat and unable to whisper.
Other than voice chat where not always people are using, I have no way to communicate with people unless I just happen to be on the same megaserver as them.
I would really like this fixed.
I would post screenshots of the errors that popup sometimes (cannot access login server or “unknown” for almost all names in the guild list, but there is also an issue uploading files to forum which I have highlighted in another post)
Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)
Sometimes it will say cannot connect to login server, error message.
and the guild roster shows unknown on loads of people.
and when doing a dungeon with them it just said [..] in the guild tags, nothing written in it.
As /say and /map and everything is fine apart from guild chat (and my internet is super fast with no other problems) it’s likely a problem on anet’s side.
This bug existed shortly after launch (for everybody), but they since have fixed it, now the same problem has returned.
I can’t believe we are the only people experiencing this.
Not only this error, even forum timeout errors when trying to attach files, it sticks at 93% never finishes.
Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)
Guild panel (roster) lag, guild chat lag and replying to players lag.
Talking in /map , /say , interacting with NPC’s and combat has no lag at all, just guild chat and replies.
Please look in to this, it started happening since yesterday and I’ve never experienced this before.
~ 3 minutes delay! on something I typed in guild chat before it appeared. (timestamps enabled)
EDIT: and several minutes later, it returns to normal, no lag at all.. then later it will start lagging again. ONLY in gulid chat and replies, nothing else.

When you have earned the 100% Map Completion Medal it would be useful if all waypoints are unlocked for any other characters you have, so you don’t have to spend so much time running around again to complete all the content.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but getting 100% map completion on multiple character without waypoints unlocked (or mounts) doesn’t sound so appealing to me.
I understand they grant bonus exp for discovering them but I’m sure the clever people at anet hq can think of something to balance this.
I strongly believe this would not only promote playing through the game more than once with more characters, but also for those who aren’t interested in legendary weapon crafting another reason to get 100% world completion.

I tested on windows 8 laptop and this bug doesn’t exist. (same mouse)
We would just use XP for GW2 but then it will crash every few minutes when you change zones or partake in a large scale event, again this is another bug which exists since beta as I don’t think GW2 was ever properly tested in XP with popular major brand graphics cards.
Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)
On windows 7 and above, even if you disable “accelerated scrolling” in mouse options from control panel, in GW2 it doesn’t even check this setting and continues to use default controls
Additionally, sometimes when in-game the keyboard layout changes to american keyboard layout instead of your own local set one. Less common but it does happen.
Sometimes people want to scroll fast without having to go mad on the mouse wheel to achieve this.
It would be nice if this bug was fixed.
(in prior windows versions where accelerated scrolling feature doesn’t exist, neither does this bug)
Don’t believe me? try yourself, try to zoom in or zoom out while slowly scrolling the mouse wheel, you will notice nothing happens, no zooming.
There is a slim chance it could be a bug with my Microsoft Confortmouse 3000, but I doubt it as this is a windows setting.

Hotjoins for quick games does not work as intended, fix it please, enough is enough.
1.) If you click play (hotjoin), you are placed on funky custom maps with specific rules set by players who made it, if we wanted to play on a custom server by other peoples rules we would select one from the list.
2.) When we manually select an official server from the list which claims to have players on it with available slots, (ticking HIDE EMPTY and HIDE FULL) in the filter, almost any server joined is already full or empty, (ie, it does not work)
I don’t know how much work is involved in fixing these 2 bugs but you really should as it’s stopping people playing like they used to before the recent patch.
As for the second bug, that has always been broken and you should fix it.

I hear champ box rewards got nerfed and the equivalent boxes from spvp are buffed to include chance of precursors, but it takes longer to get these than champ boxes so I ask…
What is the best way to spend time killing things online now? Just dungeons or keep doing champs?

These suggestions for minor changes either make the trading post easier to use, add more functionality or reduce traffic on the TP servers which could help reliability/speed.
Hopefully at least one of these suggestions or bug fixes will be taken into consideration by the arena net design team.
Please feel free to reply with your own suggestions for minor changes or bug fixes if you have some ideas.
BUG FIXES:
If you click an icon of an item in search results, the tooltip sticks to the mouse (see screenshot or try yourself)
Sometimes when buying an item then going back to the search list it removes one item from the bottom of the list (see screenshot below)
When clicking “my transactions” tab, then clicking “items I’m selling” to change the list to something else, many times nothing will happen and it will say “no results” or error about cannot connect to login servers. Sometimes clicking the dropdown menu again and re-selecting an option makes it to display the correct results
SEARCH FILTER:
Search by weight (or add filter tickbox “show usable”)
BENEFIT: So you can find items that you can actually use! This has been asked many times since launch but still no official response to the suggestion
<will reduce traffic on TP servers, less page scrolling>
Find new skins (or “search trading post” button from wardrobe)
BENEFIT: Quicker than mousing over every result in TP searches looking for “skin locked” grey message
PICK UP TAB:
Auto stack duplicate items and gold from the “pick up” tab
BENEFIT: To more easily see how much you have earned/bought in one go, and not have to click multiple times when collecting your goods.
<will reduce traffic on TP servers>
BUYING ITEMS:
Remove/return backlog of all impossible buy orders (below vendor value eg; 1 copper)
BENEFIT: To be able to “match highest buyer” for items where no buy orders exist above vendor value
Buy orders for a custom criteria (eg; any blue level 10-20 weapons)
BENEFIT: Can help stabilize the market prices for all items of a certain type as many items have the same uses regardless of stats (for example if players just want to buy lots of cheap items to salvage for essence of luck),
<will reduce traffic on TP servers>
Option to “add to buy order”
BENEFIT: To ease adding to existing buy orders and reduce TP server traffic
Instead of going to; my transactions, <load>, items I’m buying <load>, click item <load>, click item again in search <load>, place custom offer <load>, remember what you bid and try to find it in the list of buy orders.
(Just think, if you can remove even one unnecessary loading of TP screens times that by how many players using the TP at any one time, this should have dramatic reduction of TP server traffic and increase performance)
SELLING ITEMS:
Faster placing items for sale
BENEFIT: It is much quicker to post items for sale by right clicking an item, “sell at trading post”, than it is to use the “sell on trading post” tab and wait for this to finish. There really should be no difference in speed for using an easier interface to sell things

Now that http://www.gw2state.com/temples.html seems offline since megaservers went live with the recent patch, how do we now enter CoF? How do we know which server to guest to where it’s open? (attacking/defending)
Same question goes for other dungeons that get locked from events.
Is there another site like this or a way we can see where these dungeons are open?
Any help is most appreciated, I really want to keep doing this dungeon as part of my dailies again.
thanks

perhaps I should have used the term “custom” servers" instead of private.
the purpose of suggestion is for people like me who sometimes just want to play a quick game for fun, prefer to have default map options like the official servers do and not annoy anybody who makes custom maps with custom rules.
But yes, if they put password on their server and include this in the title I guess this would prevent hotjoin players from coming onto it, but even still, I can’t understand why they changed this in the recent patch or if this was an unintended bug/side affect of the changes made to SPVP.

Why is there no option to leave the solo tournament queue while you are waiting, or even the option to leave before the match starts? the leave button does nothing and even if you logout and login different character that character is auto ported to the tournament.
this is bull. it just means people who changed their mind about playing tournament while waiting are gonna be afk and make your team lose.
what on earth were anet thinking when designing this queuing system?
oh yeah click the button and we will lock your whole account to be forced into this tournament game regardless if you want or not.. you clicked the button once, so what u wanna un-click it? haha denied!
this neither helps the player nor the team they are forced into joining, so it should be changed.
AFTER the match starts, yes of course don’t give an option to leave but before it starts while teams are being built there should be no reason why you can’t change your mind.

we still can’t see our current back items in the hero pane, not even from the new wardrobe system.
You can see other back items but when clicking the current skin of your back item it does not show.
The only way to see your current back item is to make a skin chat link then clicking that to look in the preview window.
You might wanna review this… as it’s inconsistent with all other armor selection processes with the wardrobe.
And while you’re at it.. let’s keep the back item shown when /dance’ing please

In a related post Josh Davis mentions we must open all our tournament chests, but does this also mean our rank-up chests?
As I understand it, we will still be getting them from tomorrow onwards, so can we save our chests or must they be opened before the patch hits?
I’ve never done tournaments so unsure what the difference is between the chests, if any.
Main reason I ask is because if they are changing the rewards system for these boxes I’d rather open them after changes have been made, than waste them getting stuff that is not useful any more.
any info is appreciated, thanks.
Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)
To be clear: before tomorrow’s patch you should open all of your tournament chests, spend all of your glory, and use all of your PvP crafting materials.
Think X armor doesn’t fit your character’s appearance? Craft it anyways and put it in your locker.
:)
does this include your medium and large rank up chest rewards?

ps: you wouldnt be complaining if you got 2 tickets, double standards
On the contrary, I stick by my original suggestion, there are many great things the BLC can give you (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Chest_) other than just black lion tickets, I’d be much happier with a chance at these great things than several tickets (such as permanent anythings, backpacks etc..), of which there would be no need to have more than one of since they are account bound.
By forcing de-duplication of loot per opened box, you are softening the blow of unwanted loot by slightly increasing the chance of better loot on the next item in the box.
There will always need to be less valuable/useful items in the BLC otherwise there would be no gamble and the valuable things would lose there worth, I’m not suggesting changing that.

What incentive is there to help the team you just volunteered to join if you get the win bonus either way? Why should players bother trying to help the (usually losing) team they just joined?
Why not introduce some small bonus for helping the team you volunteered to join win, as well as the win bonus, that way people won’t click volunteer then just afk and wait for the winning team to finish the match.
Personally I spend the time trying to get all the meta “top player” objectives while our team loses, to maximize my points rewarded.
And while we’re at it… why does hotjoin put me in a game where the points are 400 v 100, and the only team I can join is the 100 (usually the imbalanced team)?
Sure there is a slim chance the other team will do nothing while we farm 400 points.. but odds are there is no chance of winning, so usually i just join another game instead of trying to help the losing team.
Maybe if these issues were addressed we would have more equally balanced and more fun matches.

how does one watch the tourney? via the official twitch channel or finding the server and going in as spectator or something? I’ve never watched tourneys before.
Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)
Unless I miss-heard… in the recent livestream they briefly mentioned getting a reward (precursor or unique stomp) for just watching the upcoming spvp tournament but go into details.
Is it going to be a guaranteed reward just for watching or some kinda competition for viewers?
Surely we won’t all be getting precursors just for watching a tourney..

this lag really getting tired now.. (EU) it’s odd how chat is not lagged, I was talking in chat saying how my attack still is flashing (as if to start when pressed) but not registered yet… waited about 15 seconds.. the game finished, it still didn’t click in, no actions pressed were actually happening.
this is killing me and making spvp unplayable, I used to enjoy spvp since launch up to (as of) a few days ago, for me anyway… why suddenly happening when it was not happening before? what changed? nothing my end…
Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)
YES! I’ve been lagging (spikes on and off) for 3 days now.. it’s killing me in spvp cos people just stop doing stuff.. then it updates and I’m dead on the gound -.-
