Guild Wars 2

This is SEVERELY limiting in terms of getting a group together for fractals. Please look into this!!

The spy kit is bought from an agent after defeating the champ hylek in malchor’s leap (under and north of temple of lyssa). The description is just wrong.

The other thing I just noticed is that the first event will get to 4/5 treasures stolen but won’t progress to 5/5, making it impossible to have the event fail.

It seems, from my observations over the last week, that Captain Wiley spawns as an elite, not a champion, which makes him very killable for anyone who wanders in. I’ve only seen the first event spawn once, and it never got to the second event which I assume is the one you get Predator Tier III credit. This also seems like an easy fix— make him spawn as a pretty tanky champ, so one person isn’t as likely to take him out before the event chain starts.

Predator Tier III: Killing Captain Wiley does not register for the collection.

Predator Tier III Collection: Buying and using the “Order of Whispers Spy Kit” from Agent Rex doesn’t register for the collection.

EDIT: Also no credit for killing Modniir Ulgoth.

I submitted a ticket, but the answer was basically “we don’t have a timeframe yet for a fix” and “submit an in-game bug and post on the forums”. I’ve done both thus far, so uh… let’s all post more? I have a feeling when Sat/Sun roll around we’ll see a lot more activity on the forums anyways as that’s when guilds tend to do missions.

Same issue for our guild just now—- we tried three different targets, all were bugged (they would stop and then randomly appear in different places for different players). We couldn’t interact with them.

Yup, me too. 2KB/sec (normally 1-3MB/sec)

Just happened to me too. Completed VB and no reward. I thought they fixed this?

I’ve been having this crazy lag since the last update (prior to that I experienced little to none). I did a trace route and it looks like the problem’s on my end, so I don’t want to submit a ticket just yet. As I’m computer illiterate I’m not sure what this could be, or why it suddenly appeared. Anybody have an idea? Should I just submit a ticket? I’d be grateful for some advice. Sample from trace route under the spoiler:

The final fight is so buggy I’m having a hard time completing it— the rifts spawn midair and not all the updrafts actually work

I’m in NA and having this problem, neither of the IPs worked for me

I’m also having this problem.

I also just crashed twice in one match, along with about half of each team. We were in Foefire, if that makes a difference.

The Mad King that visits Tyria in Halloween has always been played as comic relief. A figure of fun, totally cooky, sadist-as-humor character.

Having spent a bit of time in the Labyrinth recently, it’s struck me how much the Mad King/Bloody Prince repartee plays violence against women as a joke.

Does this make anyone else uncomfortable?

(I’m kind of hoping that bringing this to anet’s attention will encourage them to actually update the Halloween content/storyline rather than rolling out the same misogynistic stuff year on year…)

The problem I have with your post (and honestly, it’s probably exacerbated by the endless barrage of domestic violence commercials) is that it’s always “violence against women”. There are men who suffer from domestic violence too. How about we end domestic violence period. And yes, I do believe jokes about domestic violence are in bad taste.

Your point is well-taken- domestic violence against men is something no one wants to talk about, yet it happens every day. However, violence against women has been “normalized” in our culture, which makes violence-against-women jokes (like the ones in this game) possible (and people can’t see what’s wrong with that, as evidenced by the above posts). If it had been the opposite, and the joke had been about sexual or domestic violence against men, it would have been highly uncomfortable (because it’s a taboo subject, which, as I’ve stated, is also a huge problem). The only exception I can think of is the trope of the domineering women with the rolling pin beating her submissive husband, which has been the subject of jokes/cartoons, etc (also not funny). But I haven’t seen that trope much in current media, and especially not in video games.

Anyway, I agree with the OP.

I’m also affected
I completed the part 1 backpack before the patch
The seed was in the bank, I believe
I had finished Dragon’s Reach II when I noticed it.

I happen to love Scarlet.

But for all those who don’t- since she’s messing around with dragon magic, I bet she’s going to turn into one. And bam…. you all will have your new dragon. Named Scarlet. Bwhahaha

“Q” can stand for either questioning or queer.

I actually find the dungeon to be the perfect level of difficulty. The bosses require attention and coordination to take down, but if you have party members willing to devote those things to the run, everything goes quite smoothly. I have done it 8+ times, mostly with PUGS, and took the time to explain the mechanics of the fights to them. I think I only had one group /ragequit. It’s about teamwork and community, and its entirely doable. If everyone is concentrating during the ooze stage, you can easily do it without kiting the eles to one spot. It’s about teamwork and being aware of your surroundings, not pressing tab + 1. That being said, if you get in a group with people who don’t want to listen, nor work together with their group, then you have a problem. That, however, is not Anet’s fault. In my opinion, they have delivered a very fun and challenging dungeon path.

I would also like an invite! Thanks!

Come to Crystal Desert! Our main isn’t full yet! ;-)

Same here! :-( Mine is missing from the bank!
