Perhaps I may be mistaken, but I am pretty sure I completed mine and it is no longer showing as complete for me

Tides of Time Visual Bug

My game is not displaying the Chronomancer shield Tides of Time properly. The wave is completely invisible when it is moving away and coming back from me, though I am able to see the animation when it turns back around

During the first and second beta weekend events I was able to see the animation fine but ever since the third beta weekend it has bugged out on me. I have reinstalled, updated and downgraded my video drivers.

Any advice?

Figured I would just ask this here… I am enjoying the difficulty of the last boss but I am not sure if I am encountering a bug or I am just kitten ing out…

When the boss “charges up” and you are suppose to “shield yourself or take to the sky” wtf am I suppose to do? I can’t find anywhere to jump off… I have redone this 3 times now with no success

Laurels: Items to avoid buying?

If you’re going to buy an amulet get it from the WvW laurel vendor which costs 20 laurels and 250 honor badges you save 10 laurels.

^ This. Almost forgot about that

WvW Laurel Vendor for Amulets

Guild Vendor for Accessories (They cost Commendations instead of Ectos)

If you plan on doing a lot of Fractals you may want to try your luck with them dropping randomly… Some people have more Ascended Rings than they know what to with

Items to avoid
Ascended Accessories – get them from the Guild Vendor instead
Starter Kits
WvW Blueprints
Crafting Bags – The Heavy one is the best “profit per laurel” but do not bother with any of the other ones

In other words the amulets and Rings (unless you are big into Fractals) should probably be your priority. You also need some for ascended recipes
After that get any of the special skins or minis you want. The value of those are determined by you

cheaper Account Jump Start

Considering now the bag slot expanders are now on sale for half price (200 gems), does anybody know if this has also been updates in the Account Jump Start price?

It was. The price of the Jump Start is 1889 Gems right now

As much as I will defend the $50 price, I will be the first to admit that them not at least giving a free character slot with the standard version is pretty kittenty.

I think it would have been more reasonable to give a free character slot to those that are upgrading. People buying it as a new account simply just get the core game and the 5 char standard char slots

Also, the forums here represent a very small minority of the player base… People that are upset with something are more likely to be vocal about it than people that are satisfied

I hate this argument by the way. Yes, forums are a small percentage of the player base. However, statistically speaking, the forums represent within a fairly accurate deviation the overall feelings of the entire player base.

You can usually see this effect on nearly any topic that invites disagreement and argument. Some defend, some accuse, and it usually always shakes out to be the same percentages as that of a total polled population.

So if your argument is “don’t listen to the naysayers, they’re a minority of the player base” then its a non-argument, since the yaysayers represent the same minority.

That was not my argument, I simply stated that the forums represent a small portion of the player base and that people that are unhappy typically are more vocal about it. What this does is sway the opinion of people who otherwise have no opinion at all because they see only one side from those that are the most upset and vocal about it.

Really, it comes down to if you believe the expansion is worth it or not. If you have more important things to spend your money on, I am sure it will be cheaper at some point. Anet is a company first and foremost, and money speaks to them better than words. I personally do not view the expansion to be unreasonable, though I was anticipating a $40 price point, I didn’t even imagine the rage I am seeing on this forum right now

Seperate account

It includes a Serial Key that can be used to create an account with HoT already attached to it, or simply attaching HoT to an existing account. You cannot get two accounts out of it

I went with the $100 edition. In my lifetime I have played many subscription based MMOs in addition to paying for their expansions, I didn’t even think anything of it. I know for a fact that I would have eventually spent $50 on gems so it is more than worth it to me.

It also has nothing to do with the Lunar Festival, it’s just decorated for it.

Mystic Forge unfairness leads cause my leave

I’m a logic person. After buying 3 precursors, I have done the math, using statistics and the experience of other people to persuade myself to use the mystic forge instead of buying the precursors. Basically, the odds of getting a pre is .2 % from rares. Using a cumulative binomial calculator, the odds of getting 1 or more pre from 350 attempts is 50%….
Well, after 1100 attempts, I’ve convinced myself to quit. I know.. 100 trolls will say good ridden. Whatever. I’ll never buy an Anet game or all other affiliates. You have wasted my time enough already…

You also had a 99.8% chance of not getting a precursor from rares, and a 50% chance of not getting 1 or more pre from 350 attempts according to your statistics. How’s that for perspective?

Statistics don’t guarantee anything, it’s just there to inform you.

That’s not how stats work. Imagine you flip a coin 10 times. What are the odds you don’t get heads? Do you know the math? The odds are 99.9% chance you get at least one head.
The same formula is applied to the mystic forge. But at 1100 attempts, I have a 90% chance of getting a pre.

Using this logic you should have a 50% chance to get a precursor, and a 50% to not get a precursor.
This isn’t a coin flip, there are not only 2 possible outcomes. There are hundreds of possible outcomes.

Star of Dwayna does not unlock for collection

Oh, I see what you mean now. I was unaware that any trinket would unlock upon salvaging. That does indeed sound like an oversight then :\

Just to clarify the previous post – there is a Fine and an Exotic quality version.

However, being that the Star of Dwayna is an amulet there is no skin for it and salvaging it will not unlock anything. You should have had to right click it and select the Unlock Achievement option

Not to gloat, but I have completed it three times (I only wanted three skins).
I honestly found the King Toad to be the easiest part of Zone 3 and I found actually getting to him to be much harder…

@Zenith Dagger -- Bug or am I just screwed?

I am not sure if I am understanding you correctly, but you are given an infinite amount of weapon skins to use as many times as you want both in PvE and PvP, so that is why you cannot select the same weapon skin as your reward again.

Just go into your achievement window and withdraw as many of them as you want!
