Guild Wars 2

SlayerSixx.5763:

Larry would have to build up an alt account with enough MMR to be matched with Joe.

Nice meme, friend.

Larry could win his first three placement games and get into a match with Joe

The limit of being able to take only 1 other player with you into ranked queue opens up the possibility for others to cause foul play. Lets for example say “Joe” is rank 2 on the PvP leader board and a guy named “Larry” is rank 5 on the PvP leader board. Larry likes the spot he is at and owns another account, Larry decides to log into his alt account to play in the season and ends up on Joe’s team. Larry intentionally throws the game to an extent to cost the game for Joe causing Larry’s main account to pass Joe’s in rank. Let us 5 man queue into ranked so we don’t get any Larrys on our team.

This outfit was especially well done and the aura effect was a really nice addition, one of the few outfits I would wear over my armor sets and hope legendary armor follows the same path!

Yea whats up with the rewards? We are 100 shards short of getting a full set of armor during the season?

The new achievements should give 0 AP just like the original Legend of the Arena (Top 5 on sPvP Paid Tournament leaderboards), Master of the Arena (Top 10 on sPvP Paid Tournament leaderboards), Veteran of the Arena (Top 25 on sPvP Paid Tournament leaderboards), Soldier of the Arena (Top 50 on sPvP Paid Tournament leaderboards), and Challenger of the Arena (Top 100 on sPvP Paid Tournament leaderboards).

I don’t know who designs the reward system for this game but they can’t stay consistent, just look at the pay to win black lion collection achievements lol gg anet

-Love,
One of your top 5 AP hunters Zoda Slayer.4176

Also thought it was a cool idea to implement having a Haunted Door in our home instance that we would kick open and kill a candy corn enemy to get a daily Trick-or-Treat bag, we can get daily Wintersday presents but not Trick-orTreat bags.

Was really looking forward to some Lunatic Inquisition this year maybe next year we can have Lunatic Inquisition and Reaper’s Rumble back. The PvP activities during the holidays is what makes it fun in-game during these events for me, like Dragon Ball. These creative mini games get me all the time ever since Guild Wars 1 snowball arena, costume brawl, rollerbeetle racing etc. Would like to see the 2012 Halloween shoulders come back as rewards next year, maybe even the paper-bag helms we were teased with but never got, if you haven’t seen them check it out, posted links below.

Lunatic Inquisition & Dragon Ball, my favorite part of Guild Wars 2, was really looking forward to it. Who cares if it was a broken mini game, that’s what made it fun. I couldn’t imagine removing Dragon Ball because people found a way to break it, that’s like the only thing canthan new year has going for it.

Each year of Halloween loses more and more content from the original bring back the Halloween of 2012 pls

Think they forgot about those shoulder skins that have been unobtainable for 4 years too

Zoda Slayer.4176:

Was a fun event, time to go do some lunatic inquisition because I’m a lunatic

Nvm anet removed my favorite mini game not in here this year gg

Aedelric.1287:

Ascent to Madness removed.
Mad memories scavenger hunt removed.
Reapers Rumble removed.
Lunatic Inquisition removed.
The Reliquary story content and other story pieces have been removed.

What they have added, gem store purchases, few minis and a few tonics.

Arena Net need to get their priorities right, something seems very wrong here.

Seems like its about the money now, maybe make a gem store option to buy the Halloween pass to play the mini games if they need the money that bad because I would pay to play those mini games

Yea was really looking forward to this mini game to come back and actually was the only thing I really enjoyed during the Halloween special. Seems like they remove more and more content from holidays each year and none of their holidays are predictable like they were in guild wars 1. The new mini pets and aura infusions are too grind heavy to go for just wanted to have fun in the mini games not grind until i go mad at RNG and swipe my credit card in frustration in wanting something new.

Mo isn’t giving any VIP treatment he is explaining the damage the hacker caused was not made by a GM.

Sorry but what “damage” has been caused to others than Gailes account ? He/She took over her account and gave out her stuff. Bad for Gaile, i guess nice for the people who got her stuff, end of story. It has been said that her account had no acces to cheat or manipulate the game itself. So i don´t get the fuzz.

The hacker removed gold trims on guild capes for players who were not the original PvPers that earned the cape’s trim in the first place. Some of these players bought these guilds off the PvPers and I know for sure those deals were not cheap.

mordran.4750:

Breaking News at 8pm: A GW2 Account was hacked……….

Honestly how many times did that happen in the past and how many times the man in charge came to the forum and told us about it. I mean if the president of Arenanet has the time to come to the forum and talk to us about every hacked account in the future, fine, if the affected players get the same vip treatment !

It was more of an explanation for those who witnessed the GM’s behavior first hand in game, the person who hacked the GM acted very unprofessional muting players and used verbal abuse while doing so. Mo isn’t giving any VIP treatment he is explaining the damage the hacker caused was not made by a GM.

Gaile Gray.6029:

RoseofGilead.8907:

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I’m pretty sure Gaile was the Team Lead for the CS Team, just as Michael is now.

According to Michael, she used to ‘handle tickets’, just as he does now.

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/arenanet-tracker/topic/339870-a-little-movement-here-in-cs-world/

My bad then. I stand corrected.

No, Rose, you were correct.

I was never CS Lead. I was Support Liaison, and the thread I created and maintained was in place to allow me to review CS decisions and see if we could come up with a better outcome for players. It also allowed me to ask CS of they could handle tickets that may have lingered too long in the system, or have fallen through the cracks. I didn’t make CS decisions; I aided players in getting the most positive outcome possible. So as you can see, I wasn’t making decisions — I was helping players.

And whether I was CS Lead or not, saying “You deserved it” is inappropriate and cruel.

Saying I failed at that job — which incidentally I have not held in two years — is unfair and inaccurate. If an agent erred in handling someone’s issue, or if there were security issues that were not handled to the satisfaction of a player or group of players, whyever would it be seen as “karma” for me, personally, to suffer loss?

And saying “We/I did this to get your (company’s) attention” is reprehensible. Hurting a person to send a message is inhumane and wrong.

Sorry this happened to you Gaile, I hope CS over there can find out who is responsible for this and dish out the punishment they deserve! I think that the original Guild Wars could use a little more love and moderation too. I see gold sellers in every main city and district now and I know a lot of Guild Wars 2 players who never played the original Guild Wars are just starting out and mention that the game seems like it was abandoned.

3) Fix offline mode, a player can tell if their friend is hiding offline by hovering over their name on their friend list along with seeing their location and which character they’re on

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the mode? If someone is hiding, surely they don’t want to be found?

Yes, that is why they should fix it. It is really frustrating wanting to have alone time but friends knowing you’re on and where you’re at.

Ex: Mutual friend hiding offline
http://i.imgur.com/wSgSdhN.png

Ex: Friend who does not have you added hiding offline
http://i.imgur.com/VfwnbCm.png

The first screenshot shows that my friend is on his thief in Harathi Hinterlands hiding offline. It defeats the purpose of having an offline mode like you said.

Here are my suggestions:
1) Allow us to dye backpacks to match our glider’s dye colors
2) Make a repeatable luck reward for consuming luck for people who have been maxed on their magic find, a mystic clover after such and such luck consumed would be nice
3) Fix offline mode, a player can tell if their friend is hiding offline by hovering over their name on their friend list along with seeing their location and which character they’re on
4) Fix camera angles on siege, things like trebs and mortars you can’t really tell exactly what you’re hitting in the distance unless you see yourself go into combat mode
5) Fix the multiple guild hall instances
6) Guild halls missing the key thing players loved about guild halls in the original Guild Wars, there are no merchants, trade posts or crafting stations (Other than scribe) and the only bank access is via the scribing station
7) Guild siege golems have no unique look to them and work like alpha golems but they just cost less to build, they should have a unique look and operate like an omegas
8) Airship pass being moved from vigil keep to the aerodome with all the other airships to make an easy way to teleport to the raiding hub
9) More stuff to spend WvW attributes on, like extra reward track gain and it would take a significant amount of attributes to get a certain percentage, that way it gives no unfair advantage to others who are lower rank just more rewards in WvW for those who WvW more
10) Home instance has aurillium but no airship parts or ley-line crystals

Yup can’t log in here either ever since patch

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Unsatisfied customers leads to a dwindling player base which means less money to be made then you have a co-worker complaining about not getting his raise next to you working in support which makes an unhappy co-worker that passes that unhappiness back through his job making more unhappy customers. Keep repeating the cycle you’re doing great anet.

In our hero panel many of us believe it would be a great idea to have a wardrobe option you equip different auras we have unlocked for our characters. This could bring new gem store ideas to the table as well. Things like the Queen Bee and Refractors from Halloween are exotics and some of us with full ascended gear would rather have the max stats than to wear exotics to have these aura effects. Legendary weapons should also have an impact on this wardrobe feature for example if I unlocked Eternity on my warrior I would be able to equip Eternity’s aura on my revenant. Here is a list of non-legendary items I could see unlocking an aura for your wardrobe:

Ghostly Infusion – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ghostly_Infusion_
Chak Egg Sac – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chak_Egg_Sac
Preserved Queen Bee – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Preserved_Queen_Bee
Nightfury – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Nightfury_Skin
Winter’s Presence – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Winter%27s_Presence_Skin
Poly-luminescent Undulating Refractor (Black) – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Poly-luminescent_Undulating_Refractor_
Poly-luminescent Undulating Refractor (Green) – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Poly-luminescent_Undulating_Refractor_
Poly-luminescent Undulating Refractor (Orange) – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Poly-luminescent_Undulating_Refractor_
Rime-Rimmed Mariner’s Rebreather – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rime-Rimmed_Mariner%27s_Rebreather_

Got a big middle finger from support asking for compensation for my original purchases see if I buy gems again I’ll just earn everything by playing for free on their servers while they pay to keep the servers up and running.

Good luck getting a reply on this issue they only seem to reply to players with a shiny tag that says [Apex] or [DnT].

It would be cool to have gathering tools where we can chop trees with our bare hands and headbutt ore nodes or even harvest crops by heel stomping the ground to make it pop out of the ground.

I killed all the mobs going up the helix and it worked for me, maybe try killing the mobs and see if it triggers?

List of Bugs & Suggestions
#1. On completing one of the following maps when your character has 100% map completion you do not obtain the map rewards:
-Verdant Brink
-Auric Basin
-Tangled Depths
-Dragon’s Stand
-Silverwastes
-Dry Top
-Southsun Cove

#2. Ley-Energy Matter Converter: To unlock the tabs you have to visit the mastery vendors for the different races and purchase essences from them. Ley-Line Crystal Essence from a Nuhoch vendor, Aurillium Essence from an Exalted vendor and Airship Parts from an Itzel vendor. Currently, tab unlocks reset daily, and it’s unknown whether or not this is a bug or intended.

#3. Fractal Weapon Skins: Having these skins unlocked in your wardrobe prior to Heart of Thorns release does not add them to the Fractal Master collection achievement. Same goes with some other skins such as having “The Eye of Rodgort” unlocked in your wardrobe doesn’t unlock the prerequisite “Lidless Eye”.

#4. Azurite Orbs: Currently no way to really obtain this material, other than buying from players on the trade-post or extremely rare RNG from Generosity’s Reward. The Molten Furnace Fractal has Mithril Ore nodes and those are a source of Azurite Crystals. Giving us the option to transmogrify these crystals into orbs via jewelry crafting like every other orb would be nice.

#5. Account Bound Key Pouch: A suggestion similar to how the account wallet works would be very nice to have for players who play more than one character, a key pouch would be nice if it held the following items:
-Bandit Skeleton Keys
-Zephyrite Lockpicks
-Pact Crowbars
-Exalted Keys
-Vials of Chak Acid
-Machetes
-Fractal Encryption Keys

#6. Tedious Mystic Forging: Players who have crafted lodestones from cores or superior siege from regular siege would most likely agree that this is very tedious, having a [Craft All] button implemented like in crafting for this sort of thing would be very nice.

#7. Legendary Weapon Options: I personally feel having a legendary should allow you to change your sigil along with your stat but that is my opinion. Would be nice to see with changeable runes for the new upcoming legendary armor as well.

#8. Removed Old Skins: Skins such as Tribal Armor for example that were old rewards from PvP before the wardrobe was even introduced are still not implemented in Heart of Thorns, I thought having a way to obtain some of these unobtainable skins via mystic forge like the Delusion staff is would be an easy way to bring back original artwork that was removed so long ago. (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Delusion) For example, combining four exotic headpieces would give a chance to obtain the exotic account bound Tribal Headdress. (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Tribal_armor) here is a forum post of all the missing skins: (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Collection-Wardrobe-Skin-Bugs-Anomalies)

#9. Adding Collection Achievements for Dyes: This would be a very fun achievement and a great idea for the collection achievements tab.

#10. Underwater Combat: There are a lot of missing underwater skills for every class, Revenant doesn’t even have any at all if you play Glint, Ventari, King Jalis. Revenant also has a weapon swap but can only wield spears I don’t know if it is finished yet but here is a list of skills by profession that still do not have an underwater counterpart (I understand that the racial skills do not have an underwater ability, it seems like they have tried leaning away from players using the racial skills as a whole but I included them on the list, I’m sure there are some great ideas to give some of these skills an underwater feature):

#11. Guild Hall Portals: Giving guilds the ability to create portals to towns in their guild hall like Lion’s Arch, Divinity’s Reach, Black Citadel, Rata Sum, The Grove and Hoelbrak would be a cool addition to this newly added feature would give guild halls that main hub feeling.

I noticed playing in tangled depths underwater on my revenant that I have a weapon swap but can only wield a spear and that I have to use Mallyx or Shiro if I want underwater utility/healing/elite skills. Ventari, Glint and Jalis do not have underwater skills will they get them in the future?

0 Rewards for new maps if you have 100% map completion.

I’m so addicted to being able to glide that I should not play in central Tyria anymore because I jump off every high object I can climb up and forget that I can’t glide in original zones.

Yea they did a great job I didn’t have any lag or bugs on launch and there are so many things to do nobody in my guild can decide on what to play. Arenanet took my favorite game and made it ten times better than before.

Still having this problem with majority of my characters, I hope it won’t have a negative effect on upcoming stories for Heart of Thorns!

Oh man, 20 more days!

Branden Gee.2150:

Sorry all, dust settled. Unfortunately not in the way we hoped. We’re calling it a night. Look towards Guild Wars 2 social media for updates. Thanks for sticking with us!

I didn’t know you slept Branden I thought you were immortal!

I feel either way the living story content Arenanet has put forth since launch is worth the expansion money. I know Anet is creative and the developers have a lot of passion for this game even if Heart of Thorns seems that it does not contain enough content to be “expansion worthy” I know there are still newer living stories and events to follow. I’m not saying I agree with every choice they make all I’m saying is that they continue to impress me so we should all wait and see.

But we have so many WvW achievement points we can still earn, I have to successfully escort 499,952 more supply caravans for another 55 achievement points.

Please bring back Ascent to Madness! http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascent_to_Madness

Please bring back those first year Halloween shoulder skins too!

Roundabout.1752:

Zoda Slayer.4176:

So how come with the enchantment booster I hover my cursor over it and it says “Activate to choose a reward boost that will last for one hour.” but yet it has the experience boost and item boost listed in there and they only last 20 min. Plus I’m not surprised the karma boosts vanished, they did it before with the 750+ glory boosters I had accumulated which I had no way to use them all before they removed it because that was well over a month of play time in PvP. Support never refunded me for the glory boosts I purchased either.

The 20 minute Exp and Item boosters are the new improved versions the older ones are still 1 hour. I find it far more troubling that you can still exchange Karma boosters using the Enchantment powder with no notice that you can not chose Karma as 1 of the usable options, shady just shady.

Then it should say just “Activate to choose a reward boost.” because it makes me wonder if the 20 minute boost is a screw up and was meant to be 1 hour to compensate for removing the karma boosts.

I’ve been ready for this achievement, when is it coming?

You got me good Anet, precursor drop in revenant beta. The troll is real.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Upgrade Extractors seem like they should be a merchant/craft-able item, the original Guild Wars had perfect salvage kits which you could obtain in-game.

Blackgate
Victory or Death Instance (Arah story)
Just standing waiting as the ship was flying towards the three risen giants you have to reflect their missiles with the three cannons, just before the ship reaches these giants my character unexpectedly dies. The ship was moving when this happened, when it did the giants became bugged as well and had to restart the story.

Screenshot of the bugged panel after completing victory or death chapter.

In the hero panel’s story journal tab the personal quests you complete no longer update this page, recently completed story on my thief defeating Zhaitan and it does not display “8. Victory or Death” like it does on my other characters who have completed story prior to this recent patch.

very very annoying bug +1

Great addition to the game, rev feels like that missing piece. Thank you for the beta invite.
