I don’t do dungeons or fractals and thus am denied the ability to achieve.
You have full access to the all the masteries you want for the content you prefer.
Only 40 Core Tyria mastery points are required if you don’t do fractals (since 19 are specific to fractals).
There are 49 mastery points available, not including those available in fractals or Triple Wurm (and discounting the duplicates for doing multiple personal stories).
But, once you have “achieved” your personal story line, completed all of the Tyrian explorable areas, and completed the events that can be done “non-group”, you then cannot continue to gain mastery points UNLESS you are fortunate enough to find a group coherent enough to actually work together—————-OR play fractals (again needing a coherent group). At present, there is NO point to creating additional characters———-because they gain the player NOTHING!! of any play-worthy value. No, gold and/or crafting materials are NOT play-worthy. While I’m ranting, the “grind” to create “legendaries” is positively sickening!! 6-8 THOUSAND? geodes? -PER item? If that’s not masochistic, then what is??
I agree. I got 16 MP at HoT launch. I got 1 more for killing legendary in Silverwaste a group event. Luckily I had enough points to get the 3 original legendary crafting (I skipped the final one) and had 3 for Pact Commander. But now I am stuck, I only have the 1 extra point and I need 5 for next Pact Commander. I am 3/4 of the way done for the final legendary crafting mastery but again no points. I don’t want to waste the 1 point I have in the Fractal to open the bar again as I don’t really do Fractals. I just need to do 1 for the Bifrost III. (The others were for Mawdrey). I wish there were non-achievement options like HoT. The ones for LS2 you need to run through them a 2nd time as the 1st time just opens the ability to earn achievements and doesn’t count toward them.
I don’t know about the 6-8 Thousand Geodes though. Wiki says I only used 400 for the Bifrost. I did need 1000 Bandit Crests and 900 Bloodstone Dust though. Kadzu however needs things from a bunch of fractals for tier 1.
With the new patch when I go to sell something it now defaults to 1 unit if I click on the lowest seller listing. If I click a 2nd time it changes to the same number as the lowest seller. Neither of which is what I want, as I want to sell maximum quantity. Please return to how it was before.
Also it would be nice if the “projected profit” was listed upfront and if you want the actual selling price (before taxes and shipping are removed) you can hover your cursor. I want to know how much I’m going to get and not what a buyer is going to have to pay. If you were only selling 1 item the price is the same as what you set so it doesn’t tell you anything as it is the same.
I would also get rid of the successful transaction pop-up/ remove the need to press the OK button, and only if there is an error put up a window that requires an additional button press. Pressing the OK button is just an extra step I don’t need. Have it be a floating pop up of some kind displaying for just a second and then going away.
I too hate the lack of choices. I liked being able to do as many or as little as I wanted and could do them wherever I wanted. I hate having to go to specific areas as most of my characters don’t have them available. Also, before, I could actually get the APs even if diddn’t get all 5 on one day I would still get the APs for the ones I did do. Now I don’t get any unless I do all of them, and with so few choices it is next to impossible. I like the new rewards for each one but I would still like the AP as well if nothing else.
Try just closing and re-opening. I’ve the same problem with the gemstore several times now. That has worked for me. It is like reloading the page in a browser.
The problem still remains about the exchange rate. I have been playing since beta and haven’t had much more than 200 gold at a time ever. The exchange rate isn’t the same in both directions. I don’t feel I get enough gold from gems and I don’t have enough gold to buy gems at the ~3 times the price of selling gems for gold. It would be more fair if the gems to gold conversion was the same as buying gems, as then i might consider selling gems for gold if i got the current rate of buying gems with gold.
Why not just list the profit instead of the total price when using the sell tab? Who cares what the total list price is when selling? I don’t. I just want to know the profit after taxes and fees. I’m lucky I found this post as I was going ask to bring it back.
IMHO I would switch them so the profit is displayed and the total displayed is in the tool tip for those who care about it. Since there is no tip that needs to be calculated based on a pretax subtotal, like a restaurant, what does the pretax info tell you?
I agree with Pax. I’ve always wanted a way to manually select exact # of gems to buy as well as gold. I didn’t like the guessing game of pricing out the lowest cost of 1 gem, as you could offer a range of gold and still only get the same # of gems. If i need 46 gems because i have x gems left over from a previous purchase and the item i want costs x + 46, then i want 46 gems from exchange instead of being forced to buy the minimum 800 gems with cash. I would like to see a 400 gem option there as well.
Being forced to buy fixed amounts from the exchange isn’t fair and makes it useless because I use it to buy the odd # of gems needed to make up the difference between the remainder of the forced fixed # of gems from using real money and the odd # of gems of lower priced items and my next gem store purchase. You should have just changed or even better, added the option of specifying the amount you want instead of or in addition to the amount you are willing to trade. The fixed pricing is only OK for buying gems and only if you add a custom option. Otherwise it sucks. Also the 1 gold option isn’t the same exchange rate as the rest of the sell gems/buy gold choices (1 gold = 8 gems, the others exchange at ~6.8 gems per gold.) Going from gems to gold just doesn’t work fairly as you are rounding to a set # of gold coins instead of an exact gold, silver, and copper value.
Edit: I want 4 things added:
1: I want the precise conversion rate added
2: I want to be able to choose the exact amount both in gems and gold.
3: I want the graph back
4: I want A-Net to treat me like an adult, being 40 yrs old I guess I’m entitled to it
and for all I care you keep the new screen for the ‘not so smart’, but I -HATE- it.
It isn’t limited to FIOS. I have Verizon DSL and I am also having the problem. It is a problem with Verizon in general. The host file trick works though.
I can’t find any fix for this, only hundreds of similar posts, about the whole “Error in attempting to sell” thing. I’ve uninstalled/re-installed a billion times, cleared cache etc etc.
This is REALLY annoying, in fact the ONLY complaint I have about this game. The fact that it takes me anywhere from 5-10 minutes to empty my bags because I have to CONSTANTLY close out of BLTC, go back in, get an error for the 3rd time on the same item, close out, go back in, etc etc. I realize this isn’t a subscription game, so I can’t expect miracles, but I would at least like the kitten thing to work. Often I just get frustrated and dump everything on a vendor (for about 1/8 what I would get on the BLTC). This is absolutely not acceptable.
If I am in error, and this has some kind of fix or workaround, other than “just keep closing out and going back in” please feel free to let me know.
There is a cooldown on selling items, especially of the same kind. The fix is to wait a little (couple of sec) between each item before trying to sell the next item. It should be easier than having to open and close the window each time. That is why u get the error on the 3rd item each time.
Arcane Wave was changed to a ground target AOE. The ground targeting is still active underwater. Shouldn’t it revert to its original behavior underwater, like the engineer’s turrets when traited with the trait that makes turrets use ground targeting? The ground targeting rings are not visible when taking a screen shot. The first is underwater the 2nd is on land using the GT for AW (skill 8).
Lava Font works correctly just the description is wrong. I timed it with a stopwatch. somehow it is unable to update both descriptions. Lava font is the only one that is affected by both. flame burst and meteor shower are affected only by blasting staff while burning retreat is affected only by persisting flames which also works correctly. I have no way to accurately test the radius increase.
log out to character screen and relog, if that doesn’t work try completely logging out or exitig to desktop and trying again. I was still able to use skills 7-0 but not weapon skills when it last happened to me. Usually when it happens I can’t even use those and it means I am about to disconnect, as my router/AP fails almost if not always at least once a day.
The first step to troubleshooting anything that involves something not working try re-logging, that usually fixes most problems.
When hovering my cursor over a player I saw this diamond/cube appear around a character. Based on my best guess it is Mjolnir. I had them switch weapons and it went away so it is the weapon.
In the Winter Wonderland J P after falling I am still flat on my stomach when I return to the fire to try again. (See Screenshot) This has happened sometimes durring regular game play as well. I can still move and jump but the animation is that I am laying on an invisible sled.
PS . There are issues with the spacing of this text. For example there is a space between J and P above.
Another bug I found is that in Frostgorge Sound in Refuge Shore just north of the vista the 4 baloons from the balloon tower are still there, I interpreted “map error” to also include the open world as it doesn’t fall under the “character art, weapons, or armor” topic.
My character has gotten stuck in several places but I can’t rember where. usually you can still move but not get out of a small location. the terrain is too steep to get out of, or there are holes that are too small. I got stuck where a boat bow is sticking out of the ground and there are planks missing. somehow i got inside the frame but the holes are too small to get out of. I think it was in Desmina’s Hallows/Mausollus Sea, Cursed Shore, Orr. The too steep areas can be possible just by falling down into them. I got stuck in one looking for a way to get a particular orichalcum node, hoping that there would be a path but it was just a hole.
I think the TP most likely runs in a separate process because there is only 1 TP. It is how the game separates it out from your current world (server).
I don’t know, and would like an answer as well. The Major Sigil is even worse because it says +5 Condition Damage +2 Vitality. I sold mine when I saw that. The Wiki at the time said Condition Duration, and so I went with that one over the Sigil of Malice because it was easier to craft. (bought the Malice) If it is 5% it is a big difference than just 5. Major Corruption gives 5 per stack up to 25 stacks or 125 at full stacks. If it does get fixed then I should probably replace the Sigil of Corruption. I suppose I could replace the Malice as well if they stack for a 10% damage increase. Condition Duration is more useful for non-damaging conditions like blind, weakness, cripple, vunerability etc. while the extra damage means you don’t have to wait as long for damaging conditions to work.
I’ve noticed total silence twice as well. (The first time it seems to also have shut down my sound card as afterward i couldn’t hear sound outside the game as well.) Then I got a BSOD which I think was related to being a problem with the sound card.
I got it without trying anything special or keeping track. it just showed up durring one of the events. I think it was the one map our server finally won against scarlet while I was there. (I think we have won before but I wasn’t there for one reason or another.) We stopped the invasion early.
I don’t have the problem with my staff… I have an ATI Radeon™ HD 6770M 2048MB dedicated with 3813MB shared for a total of 6373 MB, so I wonder if my card is new/powerful enough to not have the problem?
Why are you complaining? I only had the one character created at the beginning so the 2nd one is great. To show my thanks I bought 2 extra slots so I could use the experience scrolls.. I just figured it was once for the pre order and again for the regular launch.
I don’t know about the rest of you but on my server I’ve only won once. Failed 99% of the time. I got reallly screwed because I lost power, changed to wvw to not get killed, etc. and couldn’t get back in due to being sent to overflow without invasion. Lost power 2 min before end. transferred out of overflow that did have invasion to regular only to find that invasion was done there, again, just before we won and/or time ran out. The one time I did win I only got 1 scrap. I did however get a full shoulder pad out of the secret boxes (ones instead of scraps) on a fail. I also got an exotic with a “superior rune of divinity” which I Black Lion Salvaged out to sell for more than the item. Sold for just under 13 gold (before taxes and listing fees). increased my wallet by about 60%. I’m up to 32 gold… most I’ve ever had at once.
So I caved and bought one. Mostly because I’m weak-willed when it comes to limited-time, infinite use items like this. But now using it, I can see its niche. It won’t replace the higher tier salvage kits, but it fits in nicely for getting mats off white and blue drops. It may not be economical (and I still prefer to see it improve to higher level kit compatibility) but it’s a convenience when running out of bag slots while farming maps.
At least in this game you can wait. In LOTRO you pay a different fee based on how long you wanted to list it for before it expired after which it would be mailed back to you and you had to then relist it and pay the listing fee again.
I only use basic kits (unless it is a rare in which case I will use the Mystic Kits now that I have them from the stones granted from the achievement chests). The main use of it is to not run out of kits while also offering a small savings and only taking up one slot in your bag. I salvage almost anything I pick up so run through them frequently and have to keep running back to a merchant when I run out… Having an unlimited use salvage kit which costs slightly less than what I have been paying is fine. At least it has the stats of basic and not the no upgrade recovery of the TP description. Granted it would have been better if it was better than the basic level for the same 3 copper per use… Perhaps if enough people complain they will make it have the stats of a higher kit. Granted it won’t be a Black Lion Kit as those are also Gem Store items but perhaps the same as a Master/Mystic Kit which is what I think people were expecting. Even mid grade kits would probably be fine for most people. Master/Mystic kits will probably see the most sales though as I can’t see them going with an unlimited Black Lion Kit. I suppose if it was free then more people would be happy with the basic level. I think it is meant for salvaging the lower level gear obtained from playing in low level areas as a high level character.
I’d like the permanent harvesting tools to be acount bound and available as a permanent fixture in the store.
I’d also like to be able to re-do the personal story as a regular feature not a gem store item. Becuase of all the choice points you have to make you don’t get to see the other choices. It wouldn’t affect your home instance any but will allow you to explore other paths. You would access through the Hero panel under the personal story tab, pick the step you want to re-do and click a “replay” button. The replay won’t give you any extra special item rewards but just the coin, karma, and experience. If you pick the first step it lets you explore the different options available upon character creation. If you pick one that has a choice at the end then you can select a different choice which will open the path up. you will still need to manually select to replay the new step. It should probably only be available once the story is fully completed. (It wouldn’t make sense to be able to replay in realtime although I suppose it could). I’ve had the problem of accidentally selecting a choice (I’m on a laptop using the built in pad so my hand brushed against the button/I was trigger happy, not thinking about there being a choice) so being stuck doing a particular one because of it isn’t the best. Also I didn’t know until recently that the answer to the Pale tree’s question of greatest fear was a choice defining moment. (It doesn’t have the split paths icon like the others). Or what about when completing it with another person… if they choose to advance to the next step they automatically accept the choice the instance owner made, if they want to pick a different choice they have to do the previous one over again.
Isn’t that the same thing? What is the difference between faster recharge and cooldown reduction then? I was was looking at the tooltip where cooldown is listed next to cast time in the top right corner.
Using Greatsword Training isn’t reducing the cooldown of the illusion summoning skills. I do have the trait Illusionists Celerity active as well. According to the Wiki they are supposed to stack for a total of 40% reduction. I tested this by unequiping the Greatsword Training trait and the cooldown doesn’t change for those skills when removed. (Mirror Blade is 6.5 seconds while Phantasmal Berserker is 16 seconds) It does change Mind Stab from 9.5 seconds to 12 and Illusionary Wave from 24 back to 30.
The Wiki mentions a known bug with one of the Scepter skills where the same thing happens. Could it have been caused by the switch from Adept to Grandmaster for Illusionists Celerity?
I had this issue as well. I think it was on Monday. I was doing my personal story and I was wondering why there was a glow around my character. mine had a greenish tint to it. However that could be because my armor is green. I agree with the timeframe. Possibly after Dragon Bash but Definitely after Sky Pirates.
Was the bug about using 2 Sigils of Corruption fixed? — Where the condition damage would only increase by 1/2 if you used 2? The Wiki lists it at the bottom of the main Sigil of Corruption page with a question mark after bug in the notes section but it isn’t mentioned on the individual minor, major, or superior sigil pages or in the bug section. I thought it was mentioned before so I was wondering if it got fixed, but they missed the comment on the main wiki page.
