Guild Wars 2

Just a flesh wound.3589:

It’s anything in your inventory that’s not soulbound. I bought 5 and put my copper fed, permanent bank access and 3 permanent harvesting tools in them. They are now shared across all my chars. Even my chars harvesting flax way out in the middle of nowhere have all of these items now.

Just to clarify, once you load in on an alt you have to equip the tools to use them, and you have to remember to unequip them back into the shared slots before you log off that alt or they won’t be there for your other alts. Given the price it would’ve been nice if the tools had been usable straight from the shared slots, but alas no…

There’s nothing quite like coming out of the last living story instance and immediately being attacked by veteran and champ mobs, living just long enough to see six other player bodies littering the ground before you join them.

Having the same issue on Comcast in Kansas City. None of the fixes mentioned above helped.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that the launcher is using about 70-75% CPU on my Hyperthreaded quad-core i7. Something’s definitely not right with that.

Jeffrey,

Your most recent reply appears to be to wetwillyhip. I’m sure he appreciates the support, but his issue is different from the one that generated this thread. I want to hopefully ensure that this thread doesn’t get hijacked and the original issue ignored.

Two of us in this thread (mower and myself) were never given the opportunity to play Source of Orr. I can’t speak for mower on the second point, but my own alt therefore has a locked trait that can’t be unlocked.

If your question is a reference to the original issue, then mower has already answered. My answer is no as well: All of my personal story missions were completed solo. I would think that if I had played Source of Orr with another player and accepted the progress that I would have gotten credit for the trait.

Thanks for the quick reply. I decided to play as far as I could in Chapter 8 to see if Source of Orr was there. It wasn’t, and I’m now being told that my next mission is Victory or Death a/k/a Kill Zhaitan a/k/a Arah Story Mode. The trait associated with Source of Orr is still locked.

For the record here’s a list of my Chapter 8 missions:

Temple of the Forgotten God
Close the Eye
What the Eye Beholds
Starving the Beast
Ossuary of the Unquiet Dead
Further Into Orr
Marching Orders
Armor Guard
The Steel Tide
Victory or Death (listed as current mission, haven’t completed)

I’ve been working on unlocking traits for one of my alts and I noticed that the trait associated with completing “The Source of Orr” personal story mission hadn’t unlocked. When I went to look at the alt’s personal story I discovered that I was well past where Source of Orr should have been (on Ossuary of the Unquiet Dead) but I had never played Source of Orr on this alt.

Generally this alt’s story missions line up exactly with the wiki, but the level 70 missions are very different. According to the wiki, the Part 7 story missions are:

Forging the Pact
The Battle of Fort Trinity
Against the Corruption
Cathedral of Silence / Romke’s Final Voyage
The Source of Orr

However, my alt’s missions for Part 7 are:

Forging the Pact
Shell Shock
Fixing the Blame
Marshaling the Truth
Battle of Fort Trinity
Delivering Justice

As mentioned previously I’m already well into Part 8, so I should definitely have played this mission by now. Normally I wouldn’t care but I don’t think I should be required to spend skill points and gold on a trait unlock since I never had the opportunity to complete the required personal story mission.

I suspect that this was some corner case side effect of ANet’s re-jiggering of personal story missions. Does ANet intervene in situations like this? I have eight level 80’s and have never seen anything like this before.
