Guild Wars 2

Please please Please

1) A bookshelf – so many book collections and so little space. I hate having to ditch them because theres interesting lore and backstorys in them and they are great to reread. The devs obviously put time into making them seems a shame we have nowhere to store them but when bank space is tight decisions end up having to be made

and….

2) Yes its been said before – KEYRING! great start with the living world portal scroll but we really really need one for all the map specific keys – Dry top, SW, 4 Hot maps, etc just takes up too much space. Theres a reason it keeps getting mentioned – we NEED it. this would be a massive quality of life improvement.

mine is anytime from 3pm right through to going to bed and its not consistant so i cant plan round it sadly. can be fine for ages them boom 15-30 secs lag.

Is anyone else getting bad random lag spikes?

Personally ive been having issues on and off since the last LS episode dropped but the last couple of weeks its become unplayable at times, causing full raid wipes (yeah im the healer so 15 seconds random lag spike will do that) and multiple deaths in SAB (took 5 full lives to kill the bee dog the other day because she was “hitting” me while at the opposite side of the arena facing the other direction)

Ive also had other guildies report the same issues happening to them and it always seems to hit from mid afternoon UK time……round about 9am east coast time. Why link this when we are on separate servers you ask?? Good question! well also have another guildie who has for the last few days been putting up LFG’s and having people from the united States being able to join the party (but not get into the map).

So 3 questions….

Are other people having similar issues??
Has something changed server side??
If not what the hell is going on with the lag and the LFG being able to be accessed from the states on eu servers??!

Been trying to get the Chak killer – Master achievement (you cleaned out the chak pit)

Saw a thread a while back about this being bugged but months on its still bugged – 6 tries and loosing the will to live. I cant finish this chapter and therefore cant get my mastery point or ascended trinket.

Anyone got a work around for this – tried the AoE thing to no avail

Alternativly any idea when this is likely to be looked into Anet??

at least theres another way – i was unaware of that because nothing in the collection states that and some of us dont like to wiki our way through everything – we like to try and figure it out on our own.

Massive thanks to you though or i would still be here in another 2 days hitting my head on the metaphorical brick wall still

OMG I LOVE YOU!!!

They really need to update the collection description then it clearly states the event is the svanir one not both.

yes the shamen needs to get to the lodge and build his totem to progress to the event needed for the collection item sadly.

and yes i thought they had looked into all these issues as well.

I dont usually come on the forums that often but this has annoyed me enough to make me log on and post.

So Nevermore – legendary – ok i expect some grind and tier 2 certainly had that! but ok i worked through it and preogressed to a very enjoyable tier 3 and eventually onto tier 4….. which is where im having an issue!

heres the gripe – one of the collection items is locked behind a ceertain event happening namely stopping the svanir killing the owls at owl lodge in Snowden drifts. Doesnt sound hard right??!!
Well it wouldnt be if it wasnt that in order to get that event the event before it has to fail – which would be great if he didnt die the second someone as much as looks at him.

2 days now ive been camped out in this map, at times with others, desparatly pleading with people to let the event fail so we can get the collection item, oh and theres the map chat suppression issue to deal with as well…. great!

I thought these issues where people were getting blocked from getting progress on legendary collection due to the action of others had been looked at and rectified. Obviously not!

Please Anet look into these issues because sitting in the same map for 2 days hitting my head against a metaphorical brick wall is not fun or what i bought the game for.
i will also add its not the first issue with a legendary collection ive had – Frenzy has one item you can only get if you havent already done a certain heart quest. luckily i had a char that hadnt but seeing as these are supposed to be aimed at players who have played the game a while and have completed stuff it was a little short sighted

I second the need for being able to bank the new map chest keys. Wasn’t too bad with just dry top and sw but with 4 new maps plus of course shovels lesser and greater keys of nightmares also for sw I have about 10 slots taken up purely just for those few maps.

Making the keys for opening chests bankable would be brilliant.

Hell even introducing a “key ring” item that you could gain from doing something like the karka hunt we did for princess would be good so it takes up one slot instead of 6 currently and could be added to as new maps appear. You could then load the keyring up and the keys would be consumed as you opened chests, kind of in the same way map currency became bankable and is consumed directly from your wallet.

Other than that all the kitten scribing materials that are cluttering up my bank and bags…. these need to be bankable.

Not posted on here in a while but felt I should. I only had the chance to know Cycle for a short while but in that time she had a big impact on me. Friendly, happy, great laugh and one of the friendliest players you could meet.

A memorial would be lovely but yes some aspects would need to be ironed out. That said surely somewhere in rata sum would be fitting in which to remember those who have passed into the eternal alchemy, out of reach but forever close by.

Yep exactly the same here. First guild bank i share with my husband bugged (hes leader and im officer) but all 3 other banks where im not an officer are fully accessible.

I had it today on triple worm – got the big chest and the cobolt head loot but didnt get the Golden worm chest (that pops up above your minimap and wiggles there until you collect it).

Have submitted a ticket with as much info as i can but there seemed to be ablut 5 people all saying the same on the mapchat/say chat at the time.

Ahh glad this is not just me – I was just coming in to post about this (ive got it with tailoring). Means im currently stuck on 8 slot bags on my level 59 unless I change professions to one thats of no use to that character.

If tickets have already been submitted i will not stick in another one.

Fingers crossed it gets sorted quickly. So many issues since the feature pack

If someone sees it working again can you please post in here so we all know.

Trying to do the heart quest just now (10.30pm UK time) and all is fine until I ask Cessillia to mix up the potion at which point I become stuck to the spot. Unable to move forwards, backwards, sideways (no walking annimation either).

Dodging does not resolve the issue (runs the annimation but on the spot), also tried sitting and sleeping with no luck – welded next to her unable to pour the potion over anything.

Someone else set off some spiders (so it seems it doesnt affect everyone!), and I can fight as long as its stood in the spot im stood on – daggers thrown as well as slashed. All landing hits.

The being stuck issue is also not reolved to tp to Wisperwell waypoint – just end up stuck there instead.

Loggin out and in did solve it until I spoke to Cressillia again at which point suprglued to the floor again

EDIT: Checked ip it was on 206:127:146:56:0. Relogged and ended up on 93 which still had a bloke there from earlier (before relogging to 53)

Multiple players getting stuck at it. (4 at least on 93 while I was there)

Found something annoying today. The gating of the PS. Now personally i liked to go out and do the first few bits and keep plugging at it until I was getting killed and unable to progress without leveling/getting better skills and gear.

Im also one of those peole who like to do things in chunks so I can appreciate the flow of the story and not forget what happened in the last chapter by the time I get to unlocking the next one. For that reason most of my characters start the PS then leave it until im fuly leveled then complete it in one big chunk – kind of like waiting until a TV series has finished so you can watch them one after another and not have to wait a week between episode therefore missing some subtle nuance in episode 2 that turns out to be a major plot twist by episode 11.

Not an issue before because it just sat nicely in the top corner of the screen and did nothing. This now has another consiquence though in that it sits “over” the map completion compass. Really dont want to be forced to either a)complete the next PS to get the compass back, therefore interupting the flow waiting for the next one to unlock, b) walk the whole map inch by inch to find the elusive final POI or c)trawl over maps in wiki/Dulfy to find where im missing something.

Seems a bit odd when the whole point of introducing it is to “help” people navigate.

Hi Chris – firstly thanks for taking the time (and patience) to come on here and engage with us. I know it can be easy with temperatures running high (mine included) but to know that we are not just being ignored goes some way to helping.

Can i just ask about the new tp?? Ive had a few occassions today when going to sell an item where it seems to randomly pick immediate sell option rather than the list at your chosen price option. Other times ive gone in and its the other way round – its resulted in me miss selling a couple of items tonight.

The question is – is it ment to be like this or is it a bug (the random switching i mean)

Also it did make me think that it would be nice to have a toggleable option to set which is your preferance (bit like the facebook option to show recent news or top stories – though preferably not like facebook in the way it chooses to randomly reset your options every few days )

Im intrigued at the point about it being over a years worth of testing with new players part of colins post.

Im assuming (hopefully correctly ) that this is based on the chinese servers. Question is though did they ever have our system?? or are they non the wiser to there being a “better” (imho) system??

Personally having now tried both (and I really did want to give the new system a go) i severly dislike the dumbing down and hand holding and thats being over level 40. watching the hubby on his new slot and observing whats going on I dont know if im going to bother with the other slot i bought just prior to the update.

I would think that the majority of players are well versed in MMORPG play and really dont need to be spoonfed. You should hear the fairly constant stream of profanities coming out of my husbands mouth as he started a new character yesterday to test out the new system.

In fact half the fun of the game was learning about tactics/weapons/skills/exploring. Finding out what works and what doesnt build wise made me feel more connected with the game. Dumbing down really doesnt help this.

I am hoping that the huge amounts of feedback coming from players who have now tried both systems will be listened to.

A quick and easy fix for me would be the option to toggle the babysitting mode on or off for secondary character slots – fair enough on a first character, i can kind of see what your trying to do (though as I said a lot of players are already well versed in MMORPG’s anyway so dont need it).

I certainly dont think the gating system is productive though – level 8 for tp and cant bank until level 9!!! really – because that wont be at all annoying for secondary characters!!

Great to have as an option for new players but would be better to have it as removable for those who dont want it.

Just quickly read through page 1 of this thread – maybe this has been answerd somewhere in the pages after (which im not reading yet) but it says vistas showing on the mini map should happen at level 10 right??

So why am i not getting them showing on my level 47 character??

I loved this game (and GW1 for that matter) but this really is one of the worst updates ive ever seen implimented. Not feeling the love as much now.

Even more annoyingly I talked my friend into buying the game the other week and shes now going to roast me good and proper.

possibly also having post patch meetings (crisis meetings!!??)

Jade – loving the video!! Killing Barradin through the medium of interpretive dance lol.

Ah no i didnt but thanks for the info. Was unaware of this – as apparently were about 100 others

We went to an overflow for the next couple of attempts and it ran fine there.

Theres been quite a few of us hanging round in the main Piken Square server waiting for the Vigil escort and Worm events to start.

Nothings happening – its now about 35 mins after the time it normally kicks off the counter. Has the time changed or are we looking at it having developed a timer issue??

Any help gratefully recieved as there we supposed to be coordinated attempts on all 3 worms today in Piken.

yep im in now too – thanks TPMN

Same here – glad its not me I was starting to think I had been hacked as I donwloaded TS3 for the first time last night and thought it may be something to do with that.

Seems not thank god.

Error code im getting is 21.6.3.2205

Ahhh thats why it wasnt counting – thought it was a bug this morning.

I have a support ticket in at the moment – having the same issues as others above. Gets to the loading screen for the area your going into and freezes then kicks you off after about 2 minutes of trying to load you in.

Interestingly enough this only happens with one character – others all work fine. Have tested them in the same areas minutes apart and and its purely my main character that has the issue.

2.5 hours of testing this evening running ping plotter in a few different scenarios with a couple of different characters. (The scientist in me was going into overdrive lol).

Main character is a nightmare and unplayable at the moment (apart from a 45 minute window which just so happened to correlate with when Scarlets minions event kicked off and I could suddenly play with not a single issue on my main character in lions arch which ive not been able to load into for days).

Other character not a problem at all.

My husband, who happens to work in IT support, took a look at the traces and everythings fine until it gets to ANets end then it has 100% packet loss and fails. I know its not our end or the ISP otherwise my other characters would be having issues as would my husbands.

No issues with any other games – purely this one character on this game.

On the upside though support have been very helpful so far.

Im having the same issue – only 1 character affected. Got a support ticket in at the moment so hopefully will find something out soon.

Will let you know if I get a fix out of it.

Ive also been having issues – wierdly though I only seem to be affected on one of my characters. Annoyingly though its my level 80 one with every area unlocked. Im getting logged in but then select that character and try to log in and it all falls down. I thought initially it was just lions arch (where i had been stuck at the loading page for 3 days solid) but managed to get into the labyrinth briefly the other day and then got stuck with that loading page instead, so it doesnt seem isolated.

I have a support ticket currently being looked at, initial diagnostics run and 2.5 hours of logging using pingplotter today across 2 different characters.

will let you guys know if any fix comes of it. Fingers crossed.

Its most annoying as my level 40 character doesnt have the permanent harvesting stuff so I keep running out mid mine. Cant do Scarlet as ive only got 2-3 maps unlocked on that character as well.

PocVecem.5170:

So you guys get a reboot? For me it is only the weird blackscreen with a 3 second sound loop. After that there is just “no signal” and I need to reset the pc.

I get exactly this! thought it was my processor getting older. Its not the graphics card as thats new and not even cranked up to max.

Would just like to add to this – im currently trying to sort out an issue that seems to only be affecting my main character and both Gaile and the guy im dealing with from support have been/are being great.

Fingers crossed we find the issue now after a few hours running traces this evening.

Thankyou so much guys – removes some of the stress frustration just knowing its being looked into and not brushed under the carpet.

Will do that then – unfortunately i dont know how to get the original 12 digit ticket number (as its not showing up in tracking and i stupidly didnt think to write it down).

I shall just have to be ultra apologetic – thanks for the response Gaile

Spybot search and destroy seems to work well. Especially in conjunction with Crapcleaner to get rid of niggly left overs.

Ok really sorry to keep banging on about this but im getting a little confused/worried.

Still having issues with crashes/log outs. Original support ticket was for some reason not showing up against my account in the “My stuff” area. Ive just tried to log into it to see if theres any linking or reply and today it wont even let me log in to my support area.

Its been 3 days since my original ticket. No email, nothing linking to the account and now cant get in.

Could someone please help?? Im starting to worry that theres a bigger problem happening here.

I get that also – ive had it while in Scarlet events after calling 3 wp’s. Most annoying when trying to coordinate stuff. Even more annoying when you see others taking rubbish (nothing to do with the event btw!!) and posting every 10 seconds or so with no suppression.

I can confirm the holding back on the corn throwing works – thanks for the heads up i was mighty miffed when it just got stuck first time.

I found a corn node in Queensdale over by the Apple farm. Doesnt seem to be many about. My first Halloween though so I dont know how it compares to previous year.

I had the same the first time I did him. No achievement and no chest. Second time achievement and chest. 3rd time no chest again

Just crashed out again – ive written an essay in the further info section of the crash report and said about the original ticket so fingers crossed.

This is getting really annoying now – loosing about 30 mins to and hour every night just trying to get into LA to log onto my main character.

Urrgh spam mail checked. Sadly nothing there either.

Ironically since my last post I had the issue again (though seemed to be worse this time and caused the game to fatally crash – therefore sending an error report to ANet anyway)

Due to the above I will wait another day and see if anything comes of it before raising another ticket.

Thanks for your help though : )

No not had a return email yet – its about 2 days since I logged the initial (intermittant) issue.

Hi wonder if anyone could help me?

I submitted a ticket to support yesterday – went to check on the progress today and it said my support system setup was there but not completed. Ive now completed it but now theres no ticket showing up in my history.

My question is will the one i submitted yesterday eventually get linked to the support account?? (Based on the fact that you submit along with your email and username/4 digit code) or will yesterdays ticket have wandered off into the Aether never to be seen again??

I dont want to submit a new one if the original is still ok.

Same here – 2 characters tried. One in Lions Arch and One in Holebrak

Got the same issue again today. Page has been sat trying to get into Lions arch for 5 mins now.

Shut down of the game totally, waiting a few minutes and trying again seems to have sorted it for now.

Issue is getting more frequent though.

Ive been having the same issue for the last 30 mins on my main character. Had it quite a few times lately while trying to travel across towns like Lions Arch and Hoelbrak. Only seems to pop up when im in towns though.

Tried logging out and back in which doesnt seem to work. About to try shutting down the game, and if not a full restart of the pooter.

Will update here when i find what works

Some interesting points ideas in here ……… now if only I could get into the kitten game! Not been able to play it for 3 days now due to lag.

Ah right i didnt realise you had to go into the instance. Brilliant thanks ive found it now.

I just completed the achievement to get the crystal node in my home town but I cant seem to find it. (The grove and ive checked all 4 leels of the kitten place!!)

Do i need to wait for the next reset for it to appear? or am i missing something?

I enjoy the LS updates but there is too much in too smaller time. For instance over the last 3 days I have probably put in around 15-20 hours of play time and have still not completed the LS quests.

Why?? Because there are still dailys and Monthlys to think about as well as travelling all over the world finding random objects. Im finding the 2-3 week release cycle just a bit too frequent. One a month would help it not seem like such a chore, or reduce the amount of achievements( or size of the achievement in cases of things like belchers bluff which I can see taking quite a while to master) in each LS release.

I said a few upadtes ago that having them in a 2 week release schedule also penalises players who want to go on holiday for a couple of weeks or in some cases even away for a few days (missed out on the fireworks achievement, and therefore the helm reward, during Dragon bash as I was away for 5 days at a festival)

I get that they want to retain players and stop them getting bored if they have completed the core game but the frequency seems to be pushing people away going on the comments above.
Since the LS stuff started coming out i have not really had time to concentrate on getting much more of the core game completed.

They all seem to be having fun LFG at the moment ; )
