Spirit of Nature is not ressing people in my party, tested this many times last night with the spirit right on the person, beside the person etc and it would not res.
Is this a known bug or does anyone know what is going on with this spirit?

Spirit of Nature most definitely resurrects players. I’ve even seen Ranger’s resurrect themselves with a well timed activation.

The main issue here is that it only works on downed players, not dead players. It really should specify what it’s doing as “revive nearby allies” will leave a lot of people expecting it to revive nearby allies that are dead.

“Search and Rescue” specifies just downed allies, but when used on Giganticus Lupicus the other night in Arah my bear ran over and started to actually resurrect a dead guildee, but then the bear died in an AE and just stood there after that tea bagging them instead.

I can only echo the views of others. I find this infuriating at times. I usually have 3-4 threads open in my browser and just leave them there to check new posts or as a resource when needed. yet if i’m made to log in, half the time the back button doesn’t work at all (if anything it just goes back to login page instead… thanks that’s helpful).

It seems to do this a bit less lately, but the redirect function on login still doesn’t work at all.

I use chrome and firefox, never seen redirect work with either.

Does Legendary crafting punish alts?

Only thing I remotely agree with from the OP is the karma, as I think you need more than just 525k. Even then it would kinda go against what legendary weapons represent.

We’re only talking legendary weapons here, and they are appearance only. A status symbol that show how much time and effort you’ve put into one character (the character holding it). While I see the concern of equal effort to achieve those things regardless of character used and technically the under geared alt those things are harder. It’s not fitting with what’s been put to the test in order to acquire a legendary weapon.

Hitting low level starter zones with a scaled down geared level 80 also takes about an hour or less to get to 100% if you’re already familiar with it and don’t get side tracked by jumping puzzles. Knowledge and familiarity gained on an alt still benefit your main when it comes to this. Granted I was 100% map completion before I started letting myself play alts.

Also if map exploration was account bound it means you get a maximum possibility of 2 legendary weapons ever. If I’m still playing in a year and playing a lot, I don’t know about you but I’d like to have an awesome array of weapons to bling up on my main, or a legendary for a few characters if I get really attached to some alts and want to go through it all a few times between now and when I stop playing.

Dungeon tokens afaik are getting made account bound anyway, but are probably one of the easiest requirements. Granted some explorables are faster to clear than others. I think the main reason for this change is more to give high level players something to do with the tokens when that character doesn’t want anything offered. Not sure if making them account bound vs some sort of converter or mystic forge fun and games is the right option, but still it will just make alts easier to gear/look good, won’t make us good at playing that class. Not like stats are better than crafted.

Every component represents an investment into an aspect of the game, the legendary then shows you’ve done it all, on that character.

I do hope gifts are/remain account bound, but if I need to drop huntsman/leatherworker and max out armoursmith and jeweller (despite having them on alts) to get Twilight, then it’s just another thing I need to do.

Right now clovers (and as a result karma) and lodestones are the main bottleneck I see.

Do we still get the star by our name? I’ve no idea how to check seeing as we can’t self target

Yes, I was talking to a guildee about it just now. He confirmed I have a star (as does he), he’s also stuck at 98% although I’m not sure why he’s 1% further as I’ve done more exploration stuff than he has (puzzles and I don’t think he’s bothered with the zone explorations, just map completion).

Also I see a screenshot of someone with 0 dungeon completion that’s also 97%, I am only 3/8 on that as I’m missing the odd path from some and I’m only 3/5 in Arah. At least that confirms that it doesn’t count towards it.

My “Been there, done that” achievement is 97%

I have 100% on the map and got my 2 gifts of exploration, I am 100% in all zones for the zone exploration achievement (175/175 for Kryta, 60/60 for Orr, 185/165 for Maguuma… etc. Those are done), Story is complete.

Been there done that has been 97% for a few days and hasn’t moved, despite doing at least 4-5 new zone exploration paths. I’ve also done 4 extra jumping puzzles and still it hasn’t moved towards 98%. That said If it only counts as progress when you’ve done all paths and tick of the achievement then that could explain it, but I got 2 zones finishes for the explorer achievements and that didn’t bump it at all either. I was hoping to get the sub path done in CoE tonight but it’s late and I doubt there will be any groups running) as that would give me 4/4 for that zone.

At character select it tells me I have 98% map completion. When I hover over the map medal it tells me 97% and in game when I hit M it correctly shows 100% for map completion.

I’d love to know why so many values and how we can progress them. While I’m not totally obsessive with achievements, I do like to nibble at them as something to do and keep busy with).

Why does the server keep going down or is it me?

Same issues here, a variety of error codes that are getting kicked out at me though.

Codes so far:
42:0:9001:3928
3032:1002:3:3168
7:1000:7006:771
7:1000:7006:771:101

There was another that I forgot to write down in my frantic hurry to spam the login button so I can resume standing around in LA rather than farming legendary mats.

I completed explorer’s succes with a guildmate, with 2-3 areas in Maguuma and Shiverpeaks really tricky to find. Here is a list of the locations we find last :
Maguuma :
Golemagical Institute(SW) and Calx’s Hideout(SE), both are reachable throught portals near thoses locations. For Calx, the portal is at the heart near shunshade.

Hope it may help some of you.

You’re a hero. I was missing 2 in Maguuma (aurora and …) and 1 in shiverpeak (serpent’s).

Great to finally have these done, greatly appreciated.

Edit: Geo didn’t count for me, didn’t have it, do now, but still stuck at 164/165.

Guess I need to search more.
