Issue Reports: Heart of Thorns [Merged]

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

I can confirm what John Fuego.5634 wrote with the only difference being that my game client states that I need 0 mastery points. I have 1 but I can’t unlock Glider Basics.

Also I’ve encountered numerous crashes while in the Heart of Thorns maps. My client crashes (Or rather the image freezes with Sound sometimes stopping as well and sometimes continuing, but the game itself (or rather the .exe) doesn’t crash) as soon as I discover a waypoint or finish an event (as in on acquiring exp from anything else than killing mobs).

I am seeing the same thing it crashes on any event, achievement, experience gain, or similar procting situations.

Glad it’s not just me. I hadn’t started playing HoT until today so I wasn’t sure if this was a new bug or something I would have had weeks ago. Crashed three times now, seems to be when something happens, like an achievement, discovering a PoI, etc. Only in HoT zone so far.

FPS DROP after Patch

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

Did this ever improve for anyone, or did anyone ever find a fix? I just returned from a fairly long break and was hoping to get HoT and start playing again. In Lion’s Arch I’m getting 10-20 FPS on max settings and 40~ on minimum settings. I used to be able to get 60~ on max before.

Edit: Ran GW2 repair, no difference.

BLK-Farm-nerf: How does it effect the economy

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

Well, the already near-worthless and heavily over-supplied Black Lion Chest will become even more worthless and more over-supplied. I suspect it will drop back down to near 3-4 copper again.

I wish they’d at least artificially increase their value. Reduce their drop rate, have anet “buy” tons of them off the TP, something.

Fire Sale: Commander tags!

This 300g increase won’t make any noticeable change, at least not for years. So many people already have them. They need some kind of continuous cost to use them if they want to get control of the worthless commanders who have them simply for attention.

Anyone else missing LS1 ?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

Yes, I miss living world. This “Living” Story season 2 is not living world anymore, at all. It’s just personal story expansion. This is not the living world that they hyped so much. This is not the living world with one-time events that change maps that I thought were neat.

Don’t get me wrong, I like having more personal story to do. But this is not living world. Not at all.

Suggestion to hide costume shoulders

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

The shoulders on the small model, the Asura and the large model, Norn seem to be perfectly proportionate. But even so, seeing as we can hide armor shoulders, why can’t we hide the shoulders of the costumes we pay real money – or more gold for?

I guess ArenaNet decided it was easier/faster to make full costumes and not have to worry about individual parts. They also decided to skip over properly setting the pieces and preventing clipping, which is also a major problem with these kitten outfits.

Most of the items you listed off that aren’t in this update are because they are content. This is not a content update, this is a feature pack. Content updates usually, but not exclusively, take the forum of living world updates or festivals.

2nd birthday experience scroll

Veltoss.9135

I like the blaster, but yeah, these experience scrolls are worthless to almost anyone with a 2 year old account. I’m sure some people will find them useful, but I’d much rather be able to at least MF a few of them into a level 60 or 50 scroll.

A level 60 scroll like people have said would be nice. A birthday booster is nice of course, but I don’t care too much about it. If we get a mini, I hope it’s something we can forge since most people will get at least 4-5 of them, and I hope it’s not a relatively boring one like Queen Jenna.

I also like skins, either weapon or armor/backpiece.

Regarding Countess Anise...

But people saw Jennah grow up. Unless Anise has been raising an illusion for more than 20 years, from baby to full grown woman, Jennah can’t be an illusion (or else it’s terribly far fetched writing).

Perhaps Anise is the illusion, then.

This game is not for most of you anymore

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

Agreed. All of their focuses and big selling points at launch have been abandoned for the living story. Sad part is, it’s not even the cool living world they originally advertised it as, it’s just a personal story expansion in season 2. Everything people loved and bought the game for has been abandoned by arenanet, and it makes no sense at all.

Communicating with you

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

What about communicating with yourselves? From what I’ve read, especially on glassdoor.com, it seems that communication between the upper management and the lower level employees, and understanding between upper management and the players, is severely lacking. I’d personally rather see something done to improve ArenaNet as a whole than increased communication with the players. Communication with the players is worthless if the company can’t run efficiently and produce good content, and players have noticed for a while now how badly prioritized and managed content creation has been.

Megaservers and RP

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

To maximize your odds of running into other RP players more often, you’ll want to make sure you’re on the same world (generally TC and Piken are viewed as the RP worlds), and in guilds with other RP members also on that same world. For example, everyone from TC currently will be set to high priority to sort together, same thing goes with people who are all a part of the same guild (so guild up RP folks!)

We’ll continue to monitor, adapt and update the system as we go forward as well, for now I’d suggest seeing how it works once we enable the mega server system across all maps and then giving comments and feedback when you see it in action!

(edited to add Piken!)

Wouldn’t it be fairly simple to just have an option in the menu to be sorted with certain types of players, and have this option taken into account when putting players together? An obvious option would be Roleplayers, but I could imagine others too, like preferring to be sorted with casual players, or more dedicated/hardcore players, etc.

Suggestion: Level by monster grinding

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

Just get your wallet out and buy gems, convert to gold, and craft your way to 80. In the end, that’s really what ANet wants you to do, since exploration in this game provides practically zero rewards, heart quest rewards are worse than pathetic, and event rewards are even worse.

I enjoy exploring for the sake of exploring. Anyone who needs artificial rewards for exploration do not truly enjoy exploration. There are a lot of cool things and places to find in GW2.

Besides, this simply isn’t true to begin with. Map completion is required for legendaries, which is a pretty massive reward. There is also plenty of EXP gotten from exploration and completing maps, as well as items that help new players quite a bit with leveling up. Not to mention transmutation charges, which are nice for people who don’t want to spend gems on it.

Mesmer Is far too weak

in Mesmer

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

I feel it’s most noticeable in PvE, but maybe I’ve just not done enough PvP lately. I had trouble with some of the newest living story content, fights dragged out a lot longer than I feel they would have if I were playing any other class. I tried two different builds, neither did great. Conditions are just worthless in PvE, and even with them our time to kill is much longer than other classes. We need some kind of DPS boost in PvE, at the very least.

Season 2, is this a single player game?

in Living World

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

I’m liking the story and having a nice slow single player story to follow with lots of dialogue, but I miss >real< living world content. They should not have given in to all the whiners who complained about missing something. This is not living world anymore, it’s just a story expansion. There is nothing about it that feels like living world. The world has not changed, nothing that happens in Season 2 has been noticeable in the real world.

The Grove is untouched despite a dragon attack nearly killing the tree and tons of people dying. The town in kryta doesn’t have a massive crater from the vine attack.

This is personal story expansion, not living world.

This is BS if that’s what they mean. It doesn’t matter if it fits in or not, it’s fun. It doesn’t have to fit the living story to be a recurring event. SAB was really fun, and something I always looked forward to. If they aren’t going to add any more worlds, at least make it available for players to enjoy the first two worlds.

I don’t get what’s so “horrible” about them, a lot of people seem to like them. I do. I personally wouldn’t wear the light armor, but it’s not “horrible” and it adds more variety.

What exactly is so horrible about them? And when are people going to stop talking as if their opinion is fact?

You don’t even have to wear it, there are tons of other sets and individual pieces that can be mixed together with transmutation stones.

I agree, it’s gotten a lot worse lately. And it’s not even the slightest bit constructive. Rather than saying what they don’t like about something, they just say the entire thing is terrible and “should be removed” (or some other terrible suggestion that isn’t useful to the devs).

in Twilight Assault

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

The dev already said that there’s a reason the dungeon path has been their main focus and taken so much of their resources. Here’s his exact quote:

Hey guys I was getting ready to post some info for you, but saw this thread and thought it would be the most fitting place. I’ve been reading through the threads so far and wanted to write on a few points brought up.

Our team’s put a great deal of effort into getting this new dungeon path right, so that it is both challenging and fun. We’re comprised of folks that worked on the Aetherblade Retreat, as well as myself from Molten Facility, so we’ve been putting everything we’ve learned from the past months’ development into what we think is a pretty exciting experience.

There’s a whole lot to do in this dungeon, even after the final boss is downed. Expect some nods to the existing TA paths, as well as a few to previous Living World dungeons. You’ve probably already seen some in the screenshots & trailer released so far.
Our hope is that once you get in there, you’ll see why this is the primary thing we’ve been working on. That said, Halloween is just around the corner, and you won’t be waiting too long after Twilight Assault to see what we’ve got in store for you with this year’s Mad King shindig.

Veltoss.9135

Yeah, I really wish they would focus more on the good lore that people like. Things like the dragons, Destiny’s edge, the races and politics, etc. I don’t get why they haven’t focused on this stuff already, it’s like it’s all just random new stuff. All new bad guys (that hardly anyone likes), rather than adding to the existing lore.

I vote they do the following:

One last event with Scarlet. Scarlet gets a dragon champion to become her ally, she attacks somewhere that Trahearne is at, the dragon champion turns on them and eats them both. Destiny’s Edge comes in and slaps the dragon silly. The end.

GW 2 was advertised as a fun, casual MMO.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

sPvP and tPvP were always supposed to be an esport. It is casual in the sense that you can login and play immediately at the same level of the other PvPers. You don’t have to grind hours a day to get the best PvP gear and then do it over again when they add a new set, just like in PvE.

Ascended gear has been added so slowly and has so many ways to get it that it shouldn’t really be that hard to get if you try. If you don’t try, then no, you won’t get ascended very easily. But if you play 4 hours a week you can’t expect to get much done no matter how casual it is.

This game is and has always been extremely casual. Tequatl is pretty casual too once everyone knows what to do, all it takes is a big coordinated group. Don’t judge it on how it is now when everyone and their mother is trying to do it. Judge it in a few months when there are groups with set schedules who have no trouble doing it with 80~ players.

A minority crying and moaning about a fight being challenging shouldn’t be a priority.

in Twilight Assault

I’m hoping ANet will have a huge “story arc” for the pact and destiny’s edge related to one of the main dragons, maybe the one that there’s rumors about existing, or one of the ones not focused on much. It’d be a great way to kill off Trahearne too, give him a good death so we can remember him for something nice and be rid of him. -.-

Q: Why isn't there any healer class in gw2?

in Mesmer

Posted by: Veltoss.9135

Veltoss.9135

1. Totally wrong section.

2. There are no specialty classes because that was the design decision. They didn’t want to follow the three class type and limit possibilities by having only dps, tank, and healer classes.

3. Pretty much any class can build to be a healer, but some are better at it. If you prefer being a healer, there are a few classes particularly good at focusing on healing, so the possibility to be a healer is still there.
