Guild Wars 2

My character was on the mission titled “Victory or Death” and my friend wanted to get caught up to me so we could do the last part of our personal story together, we managed to do a few missions and ended after doing “Ossuary of Unquiet Dead”.

Well, I noticed today that my personal story was no longer on “Victory or Death” but set back to “Against the Corruption”, and I’m not understanding how exactly this happened.

The only thing I can figure is it’s a bug, so beware of doing personal story with other people if you haven’t finished yours!

My hope is that after Heart of Thorns officially releases they add it as a game store account upgrade to purchase on your existing account, so you don’t have to buy another core game.

As the title says, my game crashed and now it won’t allow me to log back in!

I’ve attached a screen shot of the error number it’s giving me, I’m not sure if it’s a server issue or not.

I think disabling gems > gold would enable real money traders further if I’m being honest.

If you take away the players ability to get easy money through ways that don’t violate the games terms of service it can cause some problematic issues.

If you’re sick of gold sellers sending you messages now you’d be in for it a lot more. I’ve played MMOs where there was no premium currency you could trade for in game currency and the RMT harass you constantly.

Not to mention, if Anet removed this some would succumb to the temptation of buying from gold sellers and it could result in their accounts getting compromised. (Be it stolen or banned.)

I’d much rather Arena Net have this option than it not to exist at all. Every person in my Guild converts gems > gold for quick money and there’s nothing wrong with it!

I’m unsure of how old this issue is or how many times it’s been brought up but lately the Trading Post is having some serious usability issues regarding buying items.

As of the last few patchs the Quantity box under buy has been acting strangely. To even get it to recognize it’s been clicked takes many attempts. Nearly every time I try to set the Quantity it defaults to Max Price almost immediately, no matter how many times I’ve clicked Quantity and tried to manually type in the amount I want to buy. This has made buying large amounts of items a nightmare.

Another issue with this box specifically, which has been going on for quite some time, is that there is always a variable (1) in the box, which has led to many mistakes, backspacing to remove the variable works very rarely. Pairing this with the Max Price issue, it’s made buying items difficult. I’m unsure if it’s a responsive issue on the Trading Posts or not, I just don’t know. I don’t suspect it’s my computer as it’s never had trouble running the game.

The removal of culling theoretically sounds like a great thing, who doesn’t want to see how many players they’re fighting alongside in these big events? It gives a sense of scale to these battles.

But, there’s a big problem with this in reality, and my entire Guild has been experiencing the worst of it. We know for a fact we are not the only players with these issues, either.

Among my Guild we have a variety of PC’s; High-end gaming PCs, Mid-end gaming PCs, Standard run of the mill PCs. We all have a variety of settings we all use to run the game at our best personal performances. But, ever since culling was removed it’s created several issues I’d like to address.

-High-end gaming PCs getting hot, even on LOWEST settings available

-High-end gaming PCs are having frame rate issues during events, and again, on lowest settings.

-Mid-end gaming PCs are exhibiting the same problems as the high ends but to slightly more intense degrees

-Culling is occurring with enemies during these events, as opposed to players

-Low-end PCs are experiencing frame rate drops of 5 FPS during large scale events

-Low-end PCs are having serious lag issues in congested areas, such as Lions Arch

-Low-end PCs are putting off a lot of heat

When individuals with PCs priced at $800, $1,300, or even more are having these issues this is not good.

If you can afford a PC that can deal with all this flawlessly, good for you! But, let’s take a look at the casuals here, those who can’t afford a souped up $1,000+ PC, they have been screwed over with this update.

The dye system in Guild Wars 2 is great, it’s got a ton of potential, however we may only use it on clothing and armors at this current time. Why should it stop at that?

In Guild Wars 1 we were able to dye our weapons, shields, even bags! While throwing dye onto containers would not fit into Guild Wars 2 the ability to dye weapons certainly would. The option to add your own personal touch to your weapons would be wonderful.

The example I’ve provided isn’t the best but it’s the best I could do in a hurry.
I imagine it could be something like this on the dye panel;
