At least you got something. I consumed both of mine, and got nothing in return at all.

Did you check your guild hall Storage? That’s where decorations go when used. You can type “Keg” into the search field in the Storage tab of your guild panel to zero in on it.

Yes, I know where they go. I had 1 keg yesterday, and still have 1 keg today after consuming the 2 from the chest. I have no other keg’s of any kind

At least you got something. I consumed both of mine, and got nothing in return at all.

I would love to see one based on old Lion’s Arch. Not the whole thing, but just the central main areas, especially the old Lion’s Fountain. The artwork pretty much exists already, and it would seem easier then designing one from scratch.

The tools will be used. I will contact them in due course with a ticket I am sure.
If they truly disagree with what I have outlined as unacceptable. Then yes, don’t worry, I will leave the game, as clearly I’m in the wrong place. Playing the wrong game.
Yes. Case closed. On that much at least.

I would definitely advise not trying Archeage then. This community is a collection of saints in comparison. Just thank your lucky stars there isn’t “global” chat. You can always go to one of the literally dozens of other maps if map chat is the problem.

Even if you are level 10 in Queensdale, there are still 4 other maps to go to.

If the problem is whispers, and you don’t block, there is nothing anyone can do.

I have played this game for a few thousand hours over the last 3 years. I may be “lucky” (rngesus would not agree), but I and others here have not seen the huge issues you are posting about. I block and report goldsellers. Other then that, I guess I have blocked a few others in 3 years, but I can’t for sure say. If I have, they could be counted on 1 hand.

If your experience is that different, I am sorry for that. But that doesn’t make this a bad community. As said earlier, go spend a few hours in Archeage, and you will probably agree with me after you see a community that fits your dreary description.

wife is still crashing while my laptop remains unaffected… im starting to wonder if this is due to the fact that she has an nvidia card and my graphics are intel UMA.

I am thinking the same. I have Nvidia gtx-770, and I have been getting a graphic freeze, flash to black, and then either comes back or crashes.

I have mine in the bank, where I try my best to ignore them. It would be easier to ignore them, but I keep getting 1 or 2 almost everyday from the sprocket node in my home instance. Of course this only reminds me, hey, where is that vendor they said was coming??

Maybe if they stopped dropping, I wouldn’t be reminded nearly everyday that the vendor still isn’t available.

I totally agree and support this. I also should add that there are usually 2 orich and 2 ancient wood nodes in southsun as well.

I have to agree 1000%. In my case, I paid a lot of gold for the greatsword Belladonna. Because I transmuted it into an ascended weapon with stats worthy of the name, now it is no longer Belladonna. I hope they fix this soon, this new system makes zero sense whatsoever.

Liet is correct, however, something else is going on in this case. Yesterday I did the same thing, mapped Malcher’s completely. Went back on another character, and the nodes had all changed. I walked to Cursed Shore, came back to Malcher’s less then 1 minute later, and the nodes were back to the earlier layout. Then they changed back to layout 2 on the next character I went on. Also, the zone was not empty when I left either time, and not empty when I arrived either time.

I can verify that this bug not only exists, but seems to get worse as time goes by. I run into this problem on all of my toons, but most especially the ranger. Between my pet attacking when I hit M to try and waypoint, and the “permacombat” I get stuck into, at times I have to run literally 1/2 way across the entire zone.

This is the main reason I got the Royal Pass. I can hit I for my inventory, and double click on the pass, and it often takes me to Divinity when I otherwise could not travel. The fact that this pass works when the game wont allow me to waypoint shows something is wrong with the game determining whether I am in combat or not. If the Pass says I’m not in combat(allowing me to travel), the Map should not show a red border, and say I cannot waypoint in combat.

Sure wish this would get fixed, but I’m not holding my breath.

Just as bad in Lorner’s. The game is now unplayable. Skills rarely work, movement rarely works. BAD BAD

First of all, I have to say that I love the royal pass. It isn’t really the special section with all the amenities, so much as the ability to hit “I” and double click back to Divinity’s Reach faster then Dorothy can click her ruby slippers. For free no less.

Yea, it isn’t free, its a lotta gems etc, but I am (and was) willing to pay for it. Pointless, yet royally convenient. I missed it when the Jubilee ended, and I bought one immediately when they brought them back. I was going to buy another one before they stopped selling them again too.

Somehow, though, the pass has gone from account bound (as my current pass with 1 week left is) to soulbound on acquire. Now, as I said, I’m a big fan of this pass, but there is no way I am gonna buy a soulbound pass for even ONE of my 5 characters, let alone all of them.

Can someone explain why this is now a soulbound item?

I guess I will have to enjoy the last 5 days of my pass, and then chalk it to the memory bank.

Since I gather orichalcum and ancient wood everyday, I jumped at the chance to buy one of these boosters to test it. I bought 5 for 550 gems, or 110gems each. I tried one for 30 minutes in cursed shore and malchers leap. My results :

8 Ancient wood nodes, expected 24 logs, got 26
9 Orichalcum nodes, expected 27 ore, got 28

I also got a few orbs and such, but that happens with or without a booster. I didn’t see any increase in the “bonus” resources. Now, it is NOT unusual at all to get an extra 1-2 ore or logs without a booster, so I can’t even say it gave me 2 logs and 1 ore as a bonus. For the sake of argument, lets say that was the bonus.

I could have taken 55gems (my cost for 1/2 hour of this boost) and converted to gold, and bought 55 oric ore right off the TP. This would of course be LOTS more had I used in game gold to buy the gems.

I am at a loss to try and understand what “boost” I got from this booster. Ok, I got the swiftness after gather, but I can get that for free with my Ele (air staff 4), my Mesmer (focus 4) and my ranger (warhorn 5).

Just what is the “booster” ? Other then a colossal waste of gems, I can not offer any theories. Maybe the item is bugged. But given that I can buy LOTS of bonus resources for my 150 gems, why on earth should anyone buy this booster that promises to deliver even less?

I now have 4 boosters that will clog my bank, as I can see no use for these whatsoever, other then as a reminder that I wasted 550 gems on them, and a reminder to do this kind of math before I spend my gems on “bonus” items that contain no actual bonus.

Well, I got one within the first 5 minutes of playing (in the cursed shore). I ended up getting 6 today. I sold them all on the TP and made some nice change. I would have saved them had I known it would be a daily. But fear not, they do drop a lot. And this is coming from someone who NEVER gets rare drops

Eredon Terrace is the loneliest server that could ever be. Everyone else who thinks that their server is lower population, I invite you to guest here and see what desolation looks like.

Same problem now on Eredon Terrace. Finished the defend event, and immediately went to the post event speech about the poor golem. With Teq impossible due to our dramatically underpopulated server, this is now 2 boss events we can longer do.

Same problem here. Bought some “missing” recipes for crafting like I always do, and didn’t register. Tried to buy some food, didn’t regisiter. Logged into a different character and bought a karma weapon for 6,300 – and still show 0/750 karma spent. There is nothing else to spend karma on (other then Orrian Jewelry boxes), and I wasn’t gonna travel that far just to have it not work. Seeing as this is part of the dailies at least once a week, how on earth could it have been broken after all this time????

Has anyone else noticed that their speed is a LOT slower today? It feels like I’m running through molasses. I didn’t see any changes made to this signet, but I seem sooooo much slower.

I switched to my Ele (with the 25% speed boost on the signet of air) and that seems to work exactly as before. Switched back to Ranger, and my pet is stopping and starting as I run not keeping up with it. Something is not right.

Actually, the load screens have been getting longer for a couple of weeks now, or even longer. Our Guild has been talking about it for awhile. They seem to get longer with each patch. And the rendering isn’t complete, even in queensdale in the early morning on the lowest pop server, let alone lions arch in a crowded one. It didn’t used to be like this, so I know it isn’t my video card, etc.

It is so bad, that the 20 minute time on Guild Treks needs to be increased, as it can take almost 20 minutes just to go through 20 load screens, let alone to find the trek locations themselves. We used to be able to do a trek with 2-3 level 80’s, and there is no way that could be possible with the longer load times as of late.

Rachael, thank you so much for this news. After the new build, I was able to restart the instance, and then go on to complete the rest of the dragon bash achievements. I am so glad the bug was fixed. I am very happy that you guys didn’t forget about this, and I am glad that your persistence in fixing the bug paid off.

Myself, I’m not even that concerned about the ticket, but I have opened enough coffers to buy a jorbreaker, a bunch of dragonfly cupcakes, ate enough taffy for my achievement, and still have about 500pcs of taffy left. So it has to be about 1500 coffers at least. I got 2 minis, but no ticket. I don’t even know if I really want it, I won’t look at the skin for something I can’t own unless/until I got a ticket first.

I bought a “rich” coffer, and got maybe about 1s worth of stuff ( a few pcs of candy and a couple of fireworks). I wasn’t mad that there wasn’t a ticket, I was mad because I could have just traded the gems for cash and bought 100 times more on the TP. I thought it would at least have a LOT more candy and fireworks.

The worst part, I think, is that if I did somehow get a ticket tomorrow, and didn’t like the skin I haven’t seen, I can’t at least make a member of my guild very happy by giving them the ticket. In a game where group cooperation is not only encouraged, but demanded, I don’t see why we can’t help out a friend who isn’t lucky enough to open 1500 coffers and get a single ticket. Why on earth is it account bound? I mean, it’s not like they are dropping from the 1500 coffers I opened.

Here is the latest response from Support :

“After reading the emails that you have shared with us, and after performing an investigation regarding this issue, we have concluded that this matter will have to be taken care by the developers. Unfortunately, the bug will persist for the meantime and since several workarounds have been shared with you, we will have to wait for any in game updates that take place in the future and any further information regarding this bug will be shared to the community through the forums. At this moment the achievements/rewards are not obtainable. We do appreciate your responses and all the information that you have shared with us and we encourage you to keep enjoying the marvelous world of Tyria.

Thank you for your understanding."

So, from this my impression is that it will remain broken until forgotten about. I’m still not sure what they meant by several workarounds, since I was told of 1 (destroy the tassi box). I must have missed the “several” others.

“As stated before, the Development Team is aware of this issue involving the Dragon Bash achievement and they are currently working on addressing it. Please keep an eye on the official forums for any future updates and announcements regarding Guild Wars 2 news.

You can reach the forums via this link: http://forum.guildwars2.com

Please let us know if you have any other questions concerns. "

I figured I would pass on what I was told, since Anet is not updating us on this thread regarding any possible fix to this bug.

I have tried countless times to re-enter the instance. I guess this just won’t be corrected.

Can you guys just give me the achievement points so I can get on with the rest of the game?

I mean, I got the fireworks achievement and helm 2 days before the first fireworks show, and got the winners circle achievement despite picking only one 1st place winner, surely you can give me the 3rd bugged achievement too, right?

I love all of the dragon bash activities, but this is just an epic fail, no question about it.

In my case, I did the instance the first time, and left without scanning everyone. I destroyed the box, and did it again. I went directly to the suspect in lions arch both times, it still didn’t work.

I did it the 3rd time, and made sure I scanned until there were no red coin like markers remaining, so I was sure I was done.

Went back to the suspect in lions arch, scan him, try to talk, no dialog options.

Went to the other 2 suspects, same problem. Destroyed the kit, went back to try again, and it will no longer let me in the instance. Tried on another toon with the same no admitance. I do not have the fast targeting on. I was able to target the device and press 1. In the instance, I heard a audio que. On the suspects, I did not hear the que.

Same problem for me. I did the instance, scanned everyone there, and then left. I get no option dialog when I got find the 3 suspects, and I cannot redo the instance, inspector Keil just tells me where to go find the supects I already found
