Guild Wars 2

I’m sorry if these bugs have been mentioned earlier, they happened to me today for the first time since the zone was added:

1. Once you have started to fly with your glider in Dwayna’s Reliquary, your glider can get stuck having a strong side-wind no matter where you are, and not letting you speed up while pressing forward, until you log out and log back in.

2. Logging out and back in again in Siren’s Landing – or – switching to another instance (for example if you get the “few players are left on this map” switch message and accept it) can void your heart completion, not letting you loot the daily chest in Abaddon’s Reliquary. Nothing happens when you try to interact with them. The NPC at the bottom by the chests will not let you buy a second chance when this happens – the option will not show up, she will only let you out.

Managed it today in Timberline Falls, as described above. Killed it when it had no stacks, after it had reached the second stop. Everyone on the map – two full squads + randoms got the achievement.

That QoL return to previous map feature makes the mistlock sanctuary the only pass anyone would ever need. Since you can also return to where you came from with the Home Portal Stone from the home Instance, I’m puzzled to why it cannot be added to the asura gates in other lounges. Everything is instances right?

I’m really happy to hear a fix (or multiple fixes) are coming for MS (Mistlock Sanctuary). Absolutely love the place. As a side note I’m curious about the new POF lounge I got for preordering and what it could possibly have to make it even remotely compete with MS for me (though I imagine some new utility, and of course the “new shiny” and most likely awesome landscapes heh).

Now about the MS fractal gate/join bug.
This has been partially fixed right after the lounge was launched, as far as I’m aware. Meaning, now you can use the MS gate to join a fractal group, but ONLY if they are still in the lobby (Observatory). If your group teleports to one fractal, then the MS gate will port you to a different instance lobby (Observatory). And in that case the only way to join your group is to go to Lion’s Arch and use the on screen promt.

My question is:
Isn’t it possible to have the MS behave the same way as LA in this regard? Meaning, isn’t it possible to have the game offer you the same “type” of on screen promt when you are both in LA and MS (at least when it comes to fractals)? So that, whenever you use lfg and join a group, regardless of whether they are inside the fractal lobby or a fractal, you get an on screen promt inside MS to join them (one that actually works like the LA one and gets the job done).

Other than that, the MS is perfect!

Thats the other big bug it has. The gate should sent you in the correct instance but it doesnt. The devs are looking into it.

If there’s a gate there, and it sends you to the right instance once the fix is in, there’s no need for a “return to where I came from” option for open world PvE is there.

Thank you Inculpatus, I missed there had already been a thread about that in Dungeons.

Can I just ask, why would just a single one of the convenience locations out of all of the available ones (costing the same 1000 gems) have the extremely useful “return to where you came from” feature, and none of the others?

It actually was that bad when the zone was added, some days I didn’t receive a single one from nodes. I don’t remember if they improved the drop rate after that, but I’m fairly sure I only got 4 blood rubies from a full farm hour the other day.

I don’t really know if they just added the point retroactively without any notification of it, because I have no idea how many points I had before the patch … should have checked. But it would be nice if you at least got that little star thingie blinking in the right corner so you’d know. Or maybe they forgot to add it altogether.

Can confirm these above stated issues with pets after the patch. Just did a dungeon run and my pet just stood there looking lost before realising it was in the world.

I thought I had the same problem as you guys, but it appears that some books are in several places in that little house. While book 7 can be found in two places, 8 is only available in one, so you may want to check other bookshelves in another room on that floor if you can’t seem to pick it up from the bookshelves in the room you’re trying.

Thanks for fixing the FAQ link to the retailers page, but the links on the retailers page all go to Heart of Thorns retail editions at the retailers (at least they are for Sweden). None of the retailers have a Path of Fire retail edition listed in their stores either.

Crise.9401:

nottsgman.8206:

gems, as it states on the purchase page, can take 72 hours to be added to your account

That must have been some pretty fine print somewhere because I don’t recall seeing it. I thought there was a note about 24 hours for all items, not something specific for gems.

It’s right below the editions:

The Path of Fire FAQ link to the list of retailers give a sad quaggan

Sly.9518:

Funny you say that look at my post history I mainly play thief (alt Power Rev and FA Ele) solo Roaming I love the change it promotes active play vs sitting in keep/spawn afk leeching till decay hits.

I have had zero issues with keeping max participation while solo Roaming.

All I see are leechers complaining that they can’t sit afk any more.

I might be going out on a limb here, but how do you sit afk and gain participation? If this is somehow against the rules somewhere, don’t reply to that.

As far as I know, you have actually to do things to gain participation, you can’t merely go into wvw and sit there, can you? What I do, and what everyone else I know does, is I go in, I do stuff, and when I’m ready to go to bed and the night is over, I clean out my bags and collect whatever loot, chests, pips, tickets, whatever it is these days, the system created in place gives me. What I don’t do, and what no one that I know does, is forgo the rewards the system is about to hand them and log out in 2 seconds after hours of work. No one. If this is what counts as “afk leeching” then everyone is guilty of this, and is merely a result of how the system works.

It’s like painting a picture. You paint and paint and paint, and when you’re done, you are rewarded with a nice painting to hang on the wall. You (hopefully) don’t immediately rip that painting into shreds when you’re done. You can of course if you want to, but that would leave you with a lot of hard work for bits and pieces when you could have had a painting. You reap the rewards of your work. And if that is by getting chests or pips or a painting to hang on your wall, then so be it.

And if this is an issue of people waiting for the system to give them the rewards taking up slots when there happens to be a queue, there are so many ways to avoid this other than enforcing an aggressive decay on every single person out there. I’ve seen several good suggestions in the thread here including cashing out with limiters, or even letting people pick up where they left off – you don’t rip yesterdays work on your painting into shreds, but continue the day after, giving you a sense of progression and consistency, working towards a goal, instead of starting from a blank canvas every day. Or what about a lobby? There is already one in place, sort of.

Now if afk leeching is something else that disrupts wvw somehow that I don’t know about, then I’m sorry for taking up your time.

So you stopped playing the game but you want Anet support to send you rewards for logging in when you didn’t log in? Sounds like a fair demand…

You need to realise that the RNG in this game is like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. Trying 10 times is like not trying at all. I’ve killed Claw of Jormag every single day for 2 years straight, and I have yet to get “Jormag’s Claw Fragment” as a drop, which is just an item to start a simple collection.

As a side note, I’ve killed Shatterer for 4+ years, and have yet to get the exotic “Breath of Kralkatorrik” as a drop.

So this annoying bug is back again with the 01/Nov/2016 patch. It was some time since it was last brought back, but since you guys didn’t do many changes for this patch you might be able to nail it this time. My bet is on the “chest preview” code change, which should most likely have to do with inventory code.

I’ve had this issue for a number of weeks now as well, and it’s getting worse. I’m fine when I miss a Tequatl because of it for example, since there are more opportunities during a day, but only yesterday while doing WvW I got disconnected with this error message 6 times during just 20 minutes. Needless to say I gave up and logged off.

Most likely a repeat of many things already posted, but here’s my list:

Crafting materials that today do not get stored:

Blade Shards
Box of Fun (yes, they’re a crafting material)
Vision Crystals
Lesser Vision Crystals
Shimmering Crystals
Inscriptions
Insignias
Infusions
Doubloons
Amalgamated Gemstones
Trick-or-Treat Bag (yep, a crafting material)
Attunement Potions

Strategic Defense Map of the Mists
Rare Flower Seeds
Pristine Feathers
Giant Mushroom Spores
Lumber Cores

Unidentified Dyes

And other things that wouldn’t be bad to be able to store there:

Mystic Forge Stones
Reclaimed Metal Plates
Chak Eggs
Blood Rubies
Petrified Wood
Continue Coins
Furniture Coins
Bauble Bubbles

That is interesting Trogdor, I have mine set to low. Will try if I can get in long enough!

Thanks guys, I thought it was my computer giving up on me. I checked through my logs and I’d advice anyone against opening the gemstore. They might have made a do-do with the images or the actual 3D model for the new outfit?

It starts with a
“Warning: Cache image returned by the server has size range covering all valid image sizes. Binding: VariantBinding [0×403] flags: 0×8 binding: FileInfoBinding [0×303] – extension: pdf, UTI: com.adobe.pdf, fileType: ???? request size:128 scale: 1”

and goes on and on with operations that can’t be completed, through some

“* WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:operation:fraction:] is deprecated”

to a:

“Got low space trigger”

Started today I get these crashes running the game on my Mac. Happened once right after the gemstore update (6pm CET), then I could just restart and play for about half an hour without any problems, and then it happened again, and again, and now I can’t login for more than a few minutes before it happens.

MacBook Pro Mid 2014, OSX 10.9.5. I have played on this computer since 2014 and I have changed nothing (no, I cannot update to Sierra).

I tried repairing the client, and it did nothing and changed nothing.

I am having the same issues since a couple of weeks (since last patch pretty much). I’m in Sweden so I’m not likely to have Telianet in Texas. I’m also on a Mac by the way.

Oh I forgot, if you don’t get the whirling circle spin and it’s just black, since that happens most of the time, close it down and open it up again until you do get the whirling circle spin.

Thanks for your response Ester, it’s been like that on the Mac client for 4 years now, would be fantastic if someone actually looked at it.

There’s a trick you can use to get it to load eventually – open it up, let it sit there and let the whirling circle spin for a minute – close it down while making sure your mouse pointer is over the Promotions tab. Open it again and press the mouse button on that Promotions tab at the exact right time when the gemstore “blinks” (you know what I mean if you’re on a Mac – it’s like it’s loading the whole thing twice), and make sure you only click once, and it might load. If not, repeat until it does.

Yep, logout position does not seem to be saved properly. I ported to a wp (lowland burns for the shatterer), (fee was deducted from my coins), logged out and when I logged back in I was at the spot I was in before porting to lowland burns wp. Same thing happens in Lions Arch, I park my char at the bank, logout and go to bed. The next morning when I log in, I’m at the point I were before parking it at the bank. It’s very annoying.

midget.3162:

Only 1 out of 5 crystals counts for the crystal healing denier while I’m spamming all of my skills

I have the same problem. I’ve tagged a lot of crystals, and brought single ones down too from start to finish but I don’t get credit for it, or rather I used to randomly get credit for it. I’ve been stuck at 10 now for a while though, and it doesn’t seem to matter what I do now, it won’t move to 11.

Same thing here. We finally got a good TD run and was a few hits from killing the bosses when the server threw us out. Been getting the same error as posted above ever since. Couldn’t login to the forums even for a long time, game different errors every time. Unspecified error was one of them. And this:

You know I actually didn’t notice until you mentioned it but you’re right, the borders have disappeared. I wonder if it was intended. Going by screenshot dates, they seem to have disappeared between November 15 and 18.

Re-checked and I do have that option, sorry about that. I guess I didn’t think much of it since it’s greyed out. Mine isn’t checked though, but interestingly, I stumbled across a thread about this very option in the technical support forum – resurrected from it’s initial post a year ago I believe:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/can-t-select-high-on-texture-settings/first#content

I experience the thing you’re describing every time a new patch is released, and in my case – after making sure there’s no GW2 process running already (because if there is, and it has crashed, you won’t be able to start another one, safest bet if you don’t know how to check this is to restart your computer) – the only thing I need to do is to start it up and wait. The icon is there in the dock, but no launcher window appears. I usually go and make myself a cup of coffee, read the paper, watch the news. It will eventually start and the client window will be on my screen when I return, but it might take some time.

So even if it’s been a month since you posted this thread (not sure why it was resurrected now, but I guess it fits in the current discussion about our hopes and wishes for a native Mac client) and I don’t know if you solved the problem back then or if it’s still an issue, try that next time it happens. No re-install, no deleting files, just restart your computer, launch the game and wait for a bit.

I have been living in the HoT zones since it dropped, completed meta in all of them every day on the highest tier, sometimes two or three times (except for TD which is dead pretty much) and like Aomine, I have never seen a Rare reclaimed weapon. Ever.

And I’ve looted a fairly substantial number of airship cargo containers, random chests, exalted chests, crystallized supply caches, noxious pods, event reward chests, tier completion reward chests, map completion reward chests, champion bags and Mordremoth’s chests. Are you absolutely sure they can drop in these zones? I see them on the TP, sure, but they could come from people farming the PvP reward track right?

I see a few blue and green ones now and then, but these have so far never dropped a reclaimed metal plate when salvaged for me, and yes I am using the Mystic salvage kit on them. Considering we need 2 or 3 (why have a different amount of these for these weapons by the way, why make one class specialization weapon rely even more on RNG to get than another?) plates for each new class elite specialization weapon, it looks like spending gold to get them is the only way other than waiting another 3 years for the RNG gods to smile upon your face.

And before anyone says “you’re not entitled to your new class elite specialization weapon, you can just go craft whatever ascended version you want” – which is so popular these days because people feel they automatically win any argument by saying others are not entitled to whatever it is they’re talking about – no, I’m not entitled to anything in this world. No one is. But that doesn’t mean mankind should sit in a corner and be thankful for the corner they’re sitting in (a corner they’re not entitled to of course).

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I would also like to add that people on your block list should not be able to /join or /invite you. I was hoping that was the case already but the other day one of the people on my block list spammed me with /join and it popped up on my screen.

After the patch where the map completion fix for HoT/SW/Southsun/DT was included for those that had previously already reached world map completion, I logged in with some anticipation to see what I would finally receive for completing all these level 80 maps some time ago.

What I received was 3 pieces of level 78 exotic clothing items from DT, Southsun and SW, and the same for the HoT maps, except for the class specific chests and the Gift from each map for crafting the precursors.

What did you get?

Khargothe.7104:

thought i’d repost this here hoping it may have better chance of being noticed by devs As of today I attempted to use a Tome of knowlege on my level 80 necromancer and did no receive a hero point and just a short time ago used a lvl 30 experience scroll on my level 22 mesmer and didn’t receive my hero points even though it says i received them

You do not receive Hero Points from Tome of Knowledge items at level 80, you only receive spirit shards. I think the description of the item when you mouse over it says that (but I may be wrong about that, it was mentioned in the release notes some way back though, and it’s stated on the wiki).

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tome_of_Knowledge

And I’m on 10.9.5 (can’t upgrade since I need to be able to run a few programs that just won’t work on later versions and will not be updated sadly). I’ll have to take another look later today since I might have been mistaken.

To be honest I don’t really know what they did to it, but if it’s not reverted to the old (less bad) way it was working, they need to fix what’s there now. I have a sneaky feeling it’s the verticality introduced in the maps with HoT that messed it up, but that’s just a wild guess. It is extremely frustrating though, especially when you’re on a timer, like in challenges and trying to target the Exalted explosive in Auric Basin.

I’ll second that issue, we have these in our guild hall as well and I’m only seeing green wood and copper ore from them. Either the description is wrong or the nodes are faulty.

I experience the same problem, and was just about to post something about it, so this is me basically just saying “me too”. I’ve done complete runs in Auric Basin on several sides, from opening up the camp to defeating the octovine, and received nothing for this collection. Have also defeated the Tarnished Traitor and opened his chest, and received nothing, just like you.

Xillllix.3485:

I have a new issue with the Mac version. Now when I launch the game the screen freeze once in game. I have to alt-tab in and out multiple times to get it working again. Really strange.

I have that very same issue as well. And it doesn’t seem to have been fixed with the latest patch either. It is extremely annoying if you happen to login at a “busy” area with a lot of enemies since you basically cannot do anything while alt-tabbing out and in again to make the game unfreeze.

TehDemoNick.7953:

Bump! Its been 3 years and to see the that the client is still in beta just makes me mad. I know the Mac community is small but come on. When are we going to get a proper client. I can only really play sPvP at a good frame rate when I stream using OBS.

Also PLEASE FIX THE FULLSCREEN ISSUES WITH THE MAC CLIENT. When fullscreening and using the my second monitor as our primary scene. My Mac has a black screen and I can’t see anything on it.

If you go fullscreen on both monitors, you can see what’s on them both. It’s the same for all non-native programs on Mac, so for example if you have a browser window on your Mac and GW2 in fullscreen on your second monitor, you need to run the browser in fullscreen on your Mac as well to be able to see them both at the same time and not a black screen. It’s not ideal, but it works (for programs that can go fullscreen).

Oh that is interesting. I don’t even see that option in my Options. Are you running El Capitan by any chance (since I am not) ?

There are a lot of things wrong with ranged targeting since HoT dropped, the one you mention is one of them. Maybe it’s time to create a collected ranged targeting bugs thread where we can post them all?

The one that annoys me the most is when, in the middle of a fight, the game switches my target to another mob and starts attacking it instead, and in the process bewildering my pet who starts running back and forth between several mobs, when all I wanted was to hit a single one.

Another is the tab-targeting order which seems to be completely off, sometimes giving me a target way off in other directions than the one I’m facing – or something much much farther away than the closest enemy standing right in front of me.

And don’t get me started on targeting yellow or white things in the world (like Tequatl’s fingers, or the Exalted explosive in the south lane when fighting the Octovine in Auric Basin). It takes a lot of effort to find the exact spot to click to target these. And you can forget about Tab-targeting these.

I can’t update to El Capitan because some of the software I use will not be updated for it and I need to be able to run these programs for work, so that’s a no-go for me. Can say though that for me, stability improved greatly with the latest patch Anet did. I crashed regularly several times a day before that patch – same type as others have posted here, after the patch – not one time so far – knock on wood.

I did notice it happened a lot more frequently when in a large Squad – and lag sure is a lot worse when in a large squad because you’re forced to see all these other squad members’ names running around since there’s no option to turn squad member names off – something I (and a lot of people) would be extremely happy to see implemented.

Yes, I am seeing the same thing since afternoon yesterday. Launcher content won’t load. Could be a network issue somewhere I suppose. Game works fine, but the launcher news content just won’t load.

I also did the event today, twice even, and did not receive the item either, so it’s definitely not fixed.

CntrlAltDefeat.1465:

Shiro form.
Impossible odds.
Anguishing bane.
Rapid strike.
perma press 2.
Plow out chained heavy melee damage.
win button.

Try the deep fractal final boss. It can’t escape you, the energy gain allows for near continuous attack 2 spam. Evade agony strikes. Resume as before.

I don’t know where you get “Anguishing bane” or “Rapid strike” from, the Revenant has no such weapon skills or traits. The spear has “Spear of Anguish” and “Rapid Assault” though.

Agreed. Revenants can’t get anything worthwhile out of the Chest of Exotic Equipment, while every other class can.

Funny that, I’ve done a total of two T4 200% runs and gotten the coat box each time. I was actually asking my friends after the run today if it ever dropped anything else and no one really knew, they all also got the coat boxes.

I’ve been playing since beta and have never gotten a precursor drop and I’m currently at over 700 days straight of slaying maw, claw of jormag and shatterer without getting their collection item drops, so I know I’m not lucky.

It’s not just the HoT maps, it’s Dry Top, Southsun Cove and SW as well. If you have 100% World Completion on a character, you will NOT get map completion rewards for any of these (or the HoT maps) on that character.

On the other hand if you DON’T have 100% world completion on a character, you WILL get map completion rewards for these on that character.

I have bug reported this in-game… a week ago, since I noticed it happening when I went to Southsun Cove with a non-100% world completion character that night and got a chest for it, and did not get a reward chest when I then went there with a 100% world completion character.
