Guild Wars 2

the same thing happened for the Hot beta weekend

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Beta-name-still-taken/first#post5626343

it got resolved in the end with a devpost in the thread, but it still might be worth sending in a ticket

I used a hairstyle kit to change to one of the new hairstyles and it looks very different in game than in the preview.

It appears that the hair has been placed too far into the head, resulting in very large gaps of bare skin, particularly noticeable where the hair is meant to reach the headband, but doesn’t. Or perhaps there is a separate bit of mesh that is missing from the parting/hairline?

you can see in the screenshot the difference between the preview and what it looks like in game.

I will likely write a ticket to ask for my hair kit back if it stays like this

It seems that Hungry Hal has eaten so many apples that he has had to go and walk them off. Please tell him to come back. He has my mastery point!

Previously the mistforged hero’s weapons were all account bound.

When I tried to equip one today it warned that it would become soulbound, sure enough the tooltip now says “account bound, soulbound on use”

These are weapons I have had for a long time, that I bought with tickets during the previous WvW tournaments.

Is this a bug? I didn’t see any warning that our existing weapons would be changed.

Amaimon.7823:

not a checkerbox lighting bug, but a complete darklight filter that flickers in the tangled depths. It may not be very apparant from the two screenshots, but one is darker than the other, and it’s flickering is quite headache inducing.

i saw this morning, in the teku nuhoch tree. i go up here every day for provisioner tokens and this is the first time i noticed it.

i have a gtx 770, it flickers from light to dark as the camera angle changes.

After reading this I got my hopes up and thought it might work, but no

I tried restarting using the ‘quit this episode button’.
Then I tried logging into another character who had completed it and restarted the story, then logged back to my character I’m trying to use the brazier on.

Something that is probably unrelated… I also just noticed that the master achievement award icon is not lit up and shows the normal icon on my hero panel instead of master. I have the gauntlets and as far as I’m aware, that is what the master status is for. The only achievement not completed is Koda’s Blessing.

But anyway, looks like I will just have to slog through the waves of HP sponges again.

from the patch notes:
Players who have completed the Living World Episode 3 storyline may now skip directly to the boss at the end of the Frozen Out instance by interacting with the Brazier of Heroic Deeds, which is located near the beginning of the instance.

I have found what I believe to be the brazier, but I can’t do anything with it, it can’t be selected and there is no prompt to press F. Pressing F does nothing. I have finished the story before (see screenshot). Is this the right brazier? have I missed something obvious or is it just bugged? I tried restarting the instance and still nothing.

just thought i’d add this happened to me yesterday.

was in the middle of a jotun event at kenning testing gound for the chuka and champawat collection and i got dced to character select. when i logged back into my character i had been ported to brisban wildlands, which was the map i had been on previously.

i have found the same though only in a couple of maps. Hoelbrak is by far the worst and people i have been in party with have said the same thing. i have an ssd and it loads in with just snowy terrain visible then takes maybe 5-7 seconds to load everything else piece by piece, but friends with normal HDs seem to be loading buildings for around 20-30 seconds

thanks Lady Lozza

i installed the newest nvidea driver last night, (i always wait a week to keep on eye on any reported problems before installing new ones) so will see if that helps.
After the first couple of times of repairing, i also had the horrible creeping feeling it could be my ssd. but as the disk check comes up with nothing, i don’t know how i am supposed to attempt to fix it if it says there are no problems to fix

i actually have 2 ssds. W10 is on the smaller one and my games/programs are on the larger one, which is fairly new ( i think 2 years old -my memory is terrible). so if i’m still getting corruptions after the graphics driver update, i will try moving GW2 to my main disk and see if it does the same thing.

but yes i did the upgrade, not a clean install. i dont even recall seeing it giving me the option to clean install. I built the computer myself in august 2012 (specially to be ready for gw2!) so there is very little on it, the only unknown additions would be whatever W10 decided to add when i upgraded. i have never heard of lavasoft, though i had a look in my add/remove programs and i don’t have anything listed as bing/lavasoft, is that something that would have been automatically installed as part of the upgrade?

my gpu is also fairly new, 770GTX, i think i got it in nov 2013.

i guess if i resort to moving GW2 to my main drive and it still corrupts then a reset/clean install is the only option, but the thought of having to find and reinstall all the correct drivers has me wanting to hide in a corner. i get very nervous about that stuff. when it comes to computers i’m like exams at school. i learn absolutely everything, then the act of doing it is like a brain vomit and theres nothing left in my head afterwards, i cant remember anything i learnt, i find it hard to believe i actually managed to build a working computer 4 years ago!

Lady Lozza.9670:

Have either of you updated your windows 10 to the anniversary edition (build 1601 I think)? You said the problem started about a week ago which makes it roughly in the same time frame as my issues.

I was having not just exceptionally long load times but also massive graphical corruption. I fixed my issue by rolling back the update to 1511. I know it’s not optimal for security purposes but the new windows build was very unstable on my machine and was resulting in issues in multiple games, not only GW2.

i updated to w10 just before the free upgrade expired, for roughly 2 weeks now my guild wars 2 files have been corrupting over and over.

i have deleted the cache, local dat and repaired multiple times to no avail. i have run memory check and disk checks (ssd, 1/10th full) and both come up with nothing. today i deleted everything and downloaded the whole dat fresh, but just now the textures on npcs went crazy and 2 more corrupt dat files appeared in my appdata
i checked to see which version of windows i have (had to google how) and i have 1511, so it looks like my problems are not to do with the anniversary update.

at my wits end, my computer was so stable on w7… the regret at upgrading right now is huge.

from the picture it looks far too ‘all over’ for their normal bioluminescence. everything there is orange, it looks more like the refractor someone here mentioned.

do you glow regularly? if it was a one-off someone could have rezzed you with pumpkin oil

just thought i’d reply here as i just got the same error and googled it as i’d never seen that one before. I was in iron marches and the ley-line anomaly event had finished roughly 5 seconds before. can attach whole report if wanted.

i thought it unlikely that those types of boosts wouldnt stack, so yes i agree it seems with the reward track being so new someone forgot to either update the text to pvp only, or include the wvw track in the boost.

incidentally, the experience booster does specifically say pvp reward track

I have full participation of 195, as well as the 10% guild reward track boost and a celebration booster for another 10%, but i am only getting 214 points per tick.

Are these two boosters not supposed to stack or is this a bug?

yeah, me and two other people in my raid group still didn’t get it, 3rd week running

frustration overload :*(

i seem to be in the minority here, i like the change to the separate line and prefer how it is currently.

same as everyone else here.

GW2 takes around 30 seconds to log in
received the erroneous mail about GWAMM
all HoM rewards revoked
trying to log in to GW1 gives an error 042

i noticed this too. i was doing t4 fractals last night and was getting confused as to why i never seemed to have the phantasm up. initially i thought maybe it was getting instantly killed by something, but watching my bar carefully it never actually spawned.

EDIT: i just did a quick test in fractals, open world and the special forces area. this only happens if you don’t have an enemy selected. if you have one selected the full channel still spawns a phantasm.

did you do it in infantile or normal mode?

i did infantile to get it out of the way quick and it didnt count, just retried in normal mode and it counted

if you unlocked the skin, the item becomes accound bound to you, you can’t mail accound bound items to other people.

Even That_Shaman, the data miner, isn’t happy with this

No more White Knights for me

Shaman_Crinitus

I agree with you totally, and feel that I’ve gone through a lot of what you’ve gone through, except I haven’t tried many other games, just being bored AFK in DR. I’m done white knighting for ArenaNet. I used to be one of the biggest voices on their side, but with how they’re treating me, treating us, and failed to deliver the product they advertised, I’m calling it quits for all the apologizing. They don’t deserve it anymore.

I wonder how many people it takes to put their foot down, for them to see what’s wrong and make the changes that are actually necessary, not what they think are necessary. They’re very out of touch with their players, have always been, and will always be unless they change something fundamental. You know all the money I spend on the game will dry up if they don’t keep me entertained, and I’m definitely not unique.

unless That Shaman has a 2nd reddit account, that is a different person.

personally i preferred the ‘bugged’ lighting.

when i first noticed the lighting was different i was in temple waiting for the match to start. i swung the camera round and saw my ele’s face. it was amazing! i could actually see her features, the freckles, all the little details! and the textures on my outfit, so intricate!

the normal lighting in the game just bleaches out everything, faces are just a big glowy blob with eyes.

I think the gliding one you are talking about is accounted for, but the description on wiki is incorrect, it’s called pulse room glider and has a description on the wiki referencing the pulse room, when in game it is ley-line confluence

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tangled_Depths_%28achievements%29#achievement22

The wiki is quoting in-game hint. Clarification would be in a separate article, if someone would write it. ;D

(Just got that one last night. About 30 seconds long)

no? the in game hint says ley-line confluence, that’s why i posted a screenshot

the the ‘win x games’ professsion achievements don’t count towards the meta achievement, they instead count towards the ‘league professional’ achievement which in turn counts towards the meta. so you would need to win 7 games with one other profession to progress the meta.

The crossing divisions achievement doesn’t count the total divisions crossed. It only unlocks when you complete the previous division achievement, so in effect it starts counting from the beginning. In order to complete the part III achievement you would have had to cross 6 divisions. Personally i think they worded it badly.

yes, mayatl doesn’t even have an achievement, but wiki says it grants a hidden mastery point, tarnished traitor does have an achievement but it doesn’t show a mastery point earned. so as potoni does grant one I think it must be those two and something went a bit wrong in the UI.

I think the gliding one you are talking about is accounted for, but the description on wiki is incorrect, it’s called pulse room glider and has a description on the wiki referencing the pulse room, when in game it is ley-line confluence

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tangled_Depths_%28achievements%29#achievement22

Ayrilana is right, I have maxed my masteries at level 166.

I still have 11 maguuma points left and a number of points that I have not completed:

1 from story act IV
5 from gold adventures
2 from first raid wing
6 from 2nd raid wing

so you have 25 mastery points you can miss out and still max it

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Has anyone wondered why there’s no physical differences between male and female asura? Their body types are all the same. The only real differences is in the hair style and the rare Gem Store Outfit that isn’t unisex. For humans, there are clear differences. Take the swimsuit versions of Lord Faren and Kasmeer. Why can’t asura look like this? If humans, norn, and sylvari can enjoy revealing swimsuits, asura and even charr should enjoy it as well. There needs to be some balance in looks.

i think your thread asking for younger human female faces was more subtle and better executed. i only rate this thread B-

sorry I can’t help with your problem, but just wanted to add…

2 days ago i came back to my computer after being afk and had the annoying update to w10 box that likes to pop up, but this time it said something along the lines of ‘you are scheduled to update to windows 10 on 8 March or update now’

i know for certain i never scheduled an upgrade, it seems it took the liberty of doing that itself, thankfully it was easy to cancel. It sounds entirely possible that they did the same to you and you missed the cancel notification (maybe your mother was on it at the time)

If you are talking about phantasmal duelist, then no it doesn’t. the phantasm itself wields ilya/lyss and unfortunately having hope equipped does not change the appearance or sound effect.

clones do wield hope, but as clones only use auto attack you don’t get any pistol sound.

the only mesmer skill you get the special sound on is one pew on magic bullet

When opening inventory and doing right click- sell items, after listing the item the tp would open on your sell items tab where it shows the contents of your bag, allowing you to continue listing items.

After the patch it always returns to the main page of the TP instead of staying on your sell items list (this doesnt happen if you open the tp and list straight from sell items)

there is actually a sticky thread in the pvp section where you should post if you get stuck in a match, it seems they check this regularly and sort stuff pretty quick.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Help-I-m-stuck-in-a-PvP-Match

though i think it would make sense to have a sticky here to direct players to the thread, as the bug section is a logical place for people to look!

they apparantly fixed this in the Jan 26 patch

“Hope IV—Risen Crystalline Phial: A new champion Risen wraith has appeared at the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance during downtimes after the temple has been captured.”

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-January-12-2016

when i went there to do it i hadn’t read the patch notes and asked in map if anyone knew when it spawned and was told to just wait around as it spawns periodically on a separate timer from the old wraith.

when i arrived in the map the defence was up, it failed and the kill lyssa event came up, lyssa was still invulnerable as 2 out of the 3 seals were active – union waypoint was uncontested and it spawned there.

I think i was in the map about 15 minutes in total including the failure of the defence event. But judging by that patch note it seems that it should also spawn while the temple is uncontested, if you’ve been waiting around when things are quiet then i guess it wasn’t fixed and i was lucky.

when i tried for mine i naturally went to verdant brink. i definately fell for more than the time needed as i was using the nighttime timer to judge, but trying 3 times didnt work so i assumed it was something to do with gliding bugging it out.

instead i went to rata sum, entered the arcance council instance and jumped from the corner. you need to do a bit of maneuvering to avoid a bridge, but you can quite easily fall all the way to the bottom. it wasnt an issue for me because this was before gliding in core tyria, but as it is an instance gliding is disabled so shouldn’t interfere

screens attached to show where i jumped from

it might be worth looking out for a champ farm map on lfg, (though i was surprised people still do it). if a lot of people are zerging there might be less random people running around doing events.

i did the quaggan for hope 3 days ago and was on the same map as a champ farm by coincedence and the quaggan was already there.

not an excuse for the design, but might give you a better chance.

Was waiting around for hours for Explorer Loana to reset so i could kill the risen king for the HOPE collection t4, but I exploded to retaliation and was downed for around 2 seconds during which time he was killed.

the battery is removed on downed so I did not receive the item needed.

There are quite a few words where the American version uses one L instead of two seen in the British spelling, initial(l)ed is one of them.

i noticed this as well, but i checked my AP when i had 9 wins then again at 10, and it gave me 10 AP, it seems to be just a visual bug, it updates the total but the increments show as 0

i have no idea how this can possibly be a thing, but it is.

recently i have been playing as invisible and the game has not been remembering it when i log on

i had never had problems with it before, only occasionally on joining/leaving parties it would sometimes change itself to online.

it then occurred to me the only thing different is that in this last week i have been playing GW1 a bit.

so i tested it. logging out and in to GW2 retains my invisible status, but if i log in to GW1, when i log back to GW2 my status has changed to online. this happened every single time.

GW1 status doesn’t seem to make a difference as playing offline still changed GW2 to online

be interested to hear from other people if the same happens to them.

wow, real necro thread.

but as a possible explanation, your server’s wvw score gives you boosts to HP, changes to the score in wvw will effect you in pve.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Power_of_the_Mists

EDIT: if you mouseover the wvw icon at the top of your screen or go to detailed score in the wvw panel you can see the buff

there was a bug with these 2 HP a while ago where you would complete the HP but the map icon would ‘fill up’ on the other point.

this was a visual bug only, so it looked like you weren’t getting credit when you were and leaving you unaware that you hadn’t actually done the other HP because it appeared filled up.

it was fixed in a patch a while back, so whichever HP it says you don’t have should be the one that you still need to do. but if in doubt, try both!

Zetsumei.4975:

Yeah dont get me wrong, its most likely extremely annoying and probably unnecessary. However, I dont like him sayings its too hard and especially saying that there is no build out there to counter this. I remember how annoying orr was if i just wanted to travel through it, however, if i was to specifically design my build to counter soft and hard CC the content would not be too difficult and it is also entirely possible.

bolding a word that the OP never used is a bit silly

everyone here appears to have a faulty thesaurus, it appears your copies all have ‘hard’ as a synonym for ‘not fun’

in hearts and minds while fighting mordremoth, the blighted npcs still take condition damage when they become dazed and immune to other damage.

this means that if you do not use the rift before conditions take the hp to zero, they will die completely and disappear

they do not respawn, the rift stays open and mordemoth remains invulnerable. only option is to kill yourself and restart

it’s not a bug , it’s their number 6 skill.

EDIT: wiki link http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Clone_%28Snowball_Mayhem%29

do you have the queen bee? after they fixed queen bee having been replaced with wintersday presence, people said that the WP aura remained even with all armour removed

How do i remove the royal guard outfit. I like to see my new armor whilst exploring the game and all I can see is this.

hero panel – equipment- outfits – untick the box to the top left of your character preview

my stubbornness is unmatched… well, except when it comes to the underworld it seems.

Vayne.8563:

You couldn’t take henchmen into end game content. They weren’t allowed in Underworld or Fissure of Woe. It was players or go home.

Heroes changed all of this, tho.

They didn’t. You could only take 3 heroes into the end game areas for the longest time. And I’m relatively certain most people can’t run DOA with three heroes. Or Slavers.

If one person in a thousand could, I’d be quite surprised.

i did o/

i finished every dungeon/ elite missions in gw1 with heroes/hench except for the underworld, because i just couldn’t do the horsemen.

then one day, JOY! i did the horsemen, only to then fail on the bit in the ice wastes with the fire-happy spiders

my soul died and i never tried again QQ.

yep, the moon is back and the wolfs head moves back in a ‘howl’, though unfortunately the big mist wolf that appears on skill use does not appear if using a skill while moving
