Just Completed Personal Story... WHAT???

I would like to get this off my screen since I doubt I will ever be able to complete it (The Mystery Cave) in it’s current condition.
Unfortunately none of the choices in the drop down list for the “Content Guide” in the Options dialog actually work.
Setting it to anything other than “Default” and then resetting it to “Default” works for about two seconds then the Mystery Cave is mysteriously back.

I also tried quitting the episode in the Hero panel, again it just mysteriously reappeared.

I think there is a problem with "DR"

Arenanet is in DR (Deep Refusal) about DR.

They refuse to believe it’s broken, refuse to believe it would never work as intended and refuse to remove it.

I’m okay with it too, never much liked pvp anyway. The only real (for me) problems I have with it are that it is necessary for map completion for a legendary (same problem in reverse that dedicated pvp’rs have) and that it needs to be used for porting to LA because of map travel costs. At least Arenanet should give us a recall to home city or LA so that we don’t have to take up that spot in WvWvW from people who actually want to be there.

You could just travel to the heart of the mists by clicking on the icon at the top left of your screen and then running forward for about 5 seconds in which you can use the LA portal right there.

I’ll try that in the future. I did go to the mists once and their was some tutorial thing going on, ran up to the portal but it wasn’t labelled so I figured it went to the real PVP area.

I can play an hour and a half in Cursed Shores and literally discounting crafting mats (one to two tier 6 if I’m lucky, the rest has paltry value) which I all keep make only 5 – 30 silver. That includes coin from events. Item drops are mostly whites, a few blues, rare greens and since Nov. 15 only two yellows not including junk yellows like Putrid Crap. I have never had an exotic drop other than map completion or the Karka event, ever. If that ain’t broke I don’t know what is. Fix it.

RNG not that random?

There is no such thing as player or account specific random loot rolls/odds. It’s the same for everyone, only magic find can alter your chances.

Get rid of Magic Find and while your at it Diminished Returns as well. Neither works as intended, both as code and social engineering.

“We can officially confirm this as an X-files level conspiracy at this point.”

This is even more insulting than “perceived”. There is a very real problem with open world loot. It is not perceived or an X-files conspiracy.

I have declined from posting in these numerous and very lengthy threads until now because it has all been said add infinitum by others, but at this point I don’t know how much longer I’ll continue with GW2.

I don’t do dungeons and bought this game because of the stated “play the way you want” for equal rewards philosophy. I love the open world you built but this has proven to be far from true. I’m already looking at other games sadly, fix it or lose a lot of us.

Enemies respawn too fast in my personal opinion

It’s nice to finally see a dev respond on this issue. Like others have said the rate is bugged everywhere, mobs can re-spawn instantly or very quickly anywhere, some areas seem worse than others though like all of Orr.

Karma is the best thing that happen=D

I am certainly 100% behind more and more equal uses for Karma. Hey look at it this way Anet… it might give us more reason’s to buy more bank space.

edit: forgot a word.

Honestly, the worst part of the legendary

Personally I’m seriously considering giving up on Legendary weapons. At first they were nothing but a fancy skin and status symbol which was fine if your into that.

Now of course (since the introduction of vertical progression) we know they will always remain Best In Slot according to Anet themselves. Is BIS really worth the huge grind/gold sink/time sink required though? After all my lvl 80 is equipped in full exotic and I only paid a few gold to do it, my armor was all bought with Karma and I only had to buy a couple of weapons with about 7 gold.

I have plenty of Karma building up and in jugs just waiting to be used when I next need it. Right now you can’t get ascended gear from anywhere but Flavor of the Month but they’ve already said that will change. When Ascended or any other tiers/levels they decide to introduce in the future start dropping in ALL level appropriate zones/dungeons/whatever it will be just as easy* (hopefully) to get as exotics are today.

So basically is the huge grind/gold sink/time sink for Legendary really worth it when (eventually) I’ll be able to keep up just playing the game the way I want anyway? That is of course discounting the fancy graphics of a Legendary which many will rightfully see as a reward in itself.

*easy is a relative term depending on what server you are on and or (pun intended) how bugged Orr happens to be. It took me almost 2 weeks to get my exotic temple Karma armor, of course the FOTM rage hit at roughly the same time so that didn’t help.

They never went on the bridge, just stood before it. On my second try I killed the giant spider as fast as I could and everything worked fine after that. On the first bugged try I took my time killing the baby spiders first so I think as others have said it is an issue with the second spawn of baby spiders.

Had the same problem. I was able to walk my toon back to the trebuchet finally and get the “Leave” box to pop up, but by that time the battle was over and I just had to kill the last mob.

There are special institutions for people with disabilities. All of the world realizes that disabled people have less possibilities but you think otherwise. In fact if you think that a person with trisomy 21 is not inferior to a normal person it says a lot about you.

“Special institutions for people with disabilities”
“if you think a person with trisomy21 is not inferior…”

People with disabilities do not need to be institutionalized. What era are you from exactly with this type of mind set?

And no, a person with Down’s Syndrome (aka trimosy21) is NOT “inferior” to me and knowing that -does- say a lot about me just as thinking they -are- “inferior” to you says even more about you. I can’t report you enough for your disparaging remarks about people with disabilities in general and those who play this game specifically.

I also have reported him. His comments are offensive to say the least.

personal story is killing it for me (stuck with an Order?)

Ping is the reason platforming (especially moving ones) should not be in an mmo, ’nuff said.

The movement in this puzzle is an illusion, the world around you doesn’t actually move with the exception of the final jump, and the point where you have to wait for the clocktower to break to create a path, but even after that it’s static.

If your ping is so high you can’t time jumps right. i’d sort your connection out tbf

Movement may be an illusion but bad ping still screws timing and it can’t always be sorted since we are dependent on certain paths sometimes. I remember Telnet (if I got the name right) would screw with my ping bad in one game but there was no way around them.

Don;t do them then, ’nuff said.

Brilliant! Thankyou I won’t.
