Bump, still an issue.
Tested it on the largest hitbox raid test golem.
Human female -> 12 hits
Human male -> 14 hits

Okay, actually jumping and not just walking did the trick. Thanks for your help, I guess this thread can be closed now.

Today I tried to get the aerated ooze, which is part of the third collection to the Colossus precursor. I tried to jump down from drydock grotto in the silverwastes because it seemed to be high enough to fall for 10 seconds, which is the requirement for this part of the collection. Weirdly enough I didn’t manage to get the ooze. I think I did everything right, jumped with the ooze effect on me, used no glider and fell for at least 10 seconds. I was so paranoid about not jumping long enough that I actually recorded it.
I hope that anyone, maybe even a dev could confirm this bug.

Wait, what?
I did this “farm” aswell, beofre that I asked the CS, they told me it’s okay, so I started farming this way when I was not on the PC. A couple of months later I got banned for a cocuple of hours, so I contacted the CS again and they still told me that this is okay but if I plan to be afk for a longer period of time I have to either close the game or park my character in lions arch. And now the Game Support lead says something else again…. That’s weird.

No you can’t. Check out their description, it will say “Unique” which means can only be equiped once

Now you can go to the legendary guy and buy the box for something like 10k karma again.

Same problem here. I killed at least 100 elementals in Orr and at least 200 in fireheart rise, still no luck.

I really don’t care about how badly designed this event is, but what I do care about is what potential damage it is going to deal to the community.
The game has had a huge problem since release – leechers. Luckily it took quiet a while since leeching became a mainstream thing and the community always managed to balance it out with a lot of players who geniunely just want to help, be it with events in general or helping new players.
But what we have right now is an event that a lot of new players will participate in, tons of these new players will also follow the mapchat and see all these nice advices like “just tag events and go to the next one” or “once you reached x stacks you can just go afk” or comments like "well I got my stacks, time to afk.. ", basically one of the first things new players get in contact with is how you play the system, how you can get the most rewards by playing as little as possible and that this game has a huge flaw that hasn’t been “fixed” over the course of 3 years and probably never will. So now you have a new wave of players who will potentially be “day 1 leechers” that “we”, the helpful players, have to carry through.
What is also sad is that we didn’t get a single developer response here, just Gaile posting PR approved messages like:
“how we can improve on these types of experiences in the future.”
We already did that, with the Scarlet LA attack event. What happened with that feedback? Never found its way into the game apparently. Or do you guys only apply the feedback you receive on the next few updates and then suddenly forget about it?
I do geniuenly love to hear about the development process of this event but I think we will never hear about it.

I think Mai Trin is the best example of A.Net’s boring boss mechanics. You have 4 phases and nothing changes it’s literally going back and forth between phase 1 and 2, no increased difficulty, no added mechanics just doing the same crap 4 times.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
The same goes for the birthday boosters, you removed an effect from it.
That happened quite a while ago, though, i believe. they haven’t given karma for a long time.
Yeah I know but still.. who does stuff like that? Taking away stuff from a present?
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
Why is this allowed? I spend tons on that powder. You can’t just take away items without warning your userbase. The same goes for the birthday boosters, you removed an effect from it. It’s like giving someone a PC as a present and than 2 weeks later removing part of it.
And now you are just once again are going to wait it out until noone complains anymore.. really smooth, A.Net.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
A.Net used to blacklist URLs and at this time it was pretty effective. The goldspammers continued to spam but there was no URL in their message.
And even though you try to make me look like I am mentally challenged I do know that these bots would obviously try to circumvent blacklists. But right now they don’t have to put in any effort. And if you continue to update that blacklist they will sooner or later run out of alternatives, I mean at some point people will just stop trying to decipher that gobbledegoo.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
Did you even read what I wrote? They just use plain urls nothing special and that happend for months now.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
I shouldn’t have to add any more text to it but why are you not blacklisting certain URLs?
Because they’d have to blacklist every single combination of letters and symbols that can represent the url.
Why letters and symbols? The last ingame ads I saw had plain urls, no special characters, no spaces.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
I shouldn’t have to add any more text to it but why are you not blacklisting certain URLs?
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
No … no they shouldn’t.
This is 100% Anet’s fault, you can’t punish people for their stupidity. As I said in another thread, until Anet confirms that this is a bug, consider it part of the event.
So you can exploit everything in the game since it’s A.Net’s fault?

That’s a ref link though.

Someone should do a sociology paper on the fascinating contructs of a gaming message forum.
1. Players are mad at developer over something.
2. Developer remains silent.
3. Players start to attack each other instead.
4. Developer no longer has to respond because all topics have gone way off-track and people are beginning to forget what they were mad about in the first place
5. Players get so mad that they take it to reddit and it lands on the frontpage
6. Suddenly Developer is forced to go into damage control mode
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
Well it’s not only a security measure for goldsellers, I think but also for hacked accounts.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
Well the only thing that’s certain is that we get another 1 week sale. Maybe stuff like the bunny ears will make a return, a lot of people have asked for them.

So what would happen if ANet had a Patreon?

Why do you think that money is the problem?
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
I don’t see your problem. Vinewrath works fine these days.
Not sure if it is OPs problem aswell but I hate it when I have to do all the dirty work and people who do nothing get the same reward as I do and sometimes even boast about it. I don’t know why A.Net doesnt punish these players but they pretty much ruin every VW run for me.

Check out if your TV offers a “Pc Mode” or something similar.
With terrible I assume you mean you don’t get a sharp picture?

its there to stop exploiters. why do you want to exploit?

Is it unfair? Yes.. But that is life.
Uhm this is a videogame.

Let me start of by saying that it is not a legit strategy, it is a cheesy strategy………If ANY commander ask you to do such a thing I recommend just leaving the zerg or guild, every guilds/commanders/servers that do such a thing is known to be the worst in game……..So I suggest you dont follow the trail of bad habits……
So if the whole zerg consists of commanders you can simply don’t attack? :o
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
It’s a legit tactic and people will come up with countertactics.
Will they? I have been waiting for a decent anti commander sniping tactic for months now. The only thing I see happening is that people contact the enemy commander and make a “contract” to not snipe each others commander.
I am pretty sure “they” will :)
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
That means competition exists :P
Believe me thats worth a lot more than you think
It also means that people are passionate about the gamemode which is always a good thing.

No it doesn’t Message Body length must at least be 15.

This has nothing to do with the GW2 API.
And yes it is legal since it is just an overlay.

I always wonder how people like me managed to play the game at release … We managed to explore the world, figure out what to do and how to do it and guess what? There weren’t and guides for it neither ingame nor outside of the game for the most part.

Do you need minipets? I think I still have some of them laying around.

None of the Guild Puzzles are designed to require any more than 6 players, though obviously it’s often easier if you do have more. The ‘curtain room’ in Langmar Estate is designed to be done so that 6 players open the curtains simultaneously, run up the small JPs in the time limit, and do the correct emote at the top. Most guilds tend to circumvent the entire thing by having 12 players and setting up beforehand, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done the ‘intended’ way (no value judgement intended here, btw).
Equally, a T1 bounty can definitely be done by 6 players. Unless you get one of the really annoying ones to find, or your group isn’t organised/skilful/etc.
Anet specifically designed Guild Missions so that they could be done by small guilds.
I can’t comment on the Guild Missions but you are right bounties can be easily done with 5-6 players, it may require a little bit of luck. Besides that you can easily solo tier 3 guild treks. Just make sure to finish the Sorrowful Sound puzzle before you start the trek.

Well the best way of pointing it out is by not buying stuff from the gemstore.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
So you basically don’t ban them because you know that they will spend their real money on your gems.

And here someone said they contacted customer support asking for a refund for their infinite continue coin and supposedly he/she was told there will be no refunds because SAB will come back some day
Since some people were asking, here’s the email they sent me after I requested a refund on the infinite continue coin in December after it being useless for 15 months:
Dec 25 20:13
Hello xxxxx,
Thanks for getting in touch to ask about your Super Adventure Box Infinite Continue Coin.
We understand you may have been concerned about the usefulness of the coin, but according to Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 2 Game Director, Super Adventure Box will be back in the future. We don’t have a timeframe for the return of the SAB, but we will be bringing back this popular content.
As a result of this plan, we are not issuing refunds for the SAB Infinite Continue Coins.
Regards,
GM Khal

http://support.guildwars2.com/When I was a kid, if I screamed at the grocery store because my mom said I can’t have any candy, I got a good swat on the behind in front of everybody. I tell you it shut me right up.
Of course that was the ’80s when that kind of discipline was more acceptable. Nowadays kids have to be pampered.
The argument that it will be returning because Colin said so is a little bit wonky. According to him we would have gotten a new legendarry set last year, just as an example.

Wanna bet that it will be a gemstore thing again? They have to cash in on everything :S The addition of sab minis in the jboxes yesterday was shady as well.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
first of all its 2015 and secondly, dont you have any other problems?
See this is the problem its 2015, these kids make up problems because they are bored – misogyny, ableism and all that weird crap that came out of the tumblr cesspit.

What may happen, in the future, is new software with many requested features, such as a working Search feature, and others.
Oh you mean software that has been around of ages and that community forums use ever since? cough vBulletin cough

It’s never considered to be an exploit if it doesn’t damage the economy … That’s just how A.Net deals with these types of things, sadly. Remember Skyhammer? Yup that’s fine aswell even though it’s clearly a matchmanipulation the thing is people pay gems for it so it’s fine (yup I’m upset)
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
Some people just have to complain about something.
/shrug
Something?!
It’s a pretty big deal, at least for me.
We were supposed to get a new batch of legendaries back in 2013. 1 1/2 year later we will just get 6 new weapons instead of 19.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
Does this mean that gemstore updates will be delayed as well?

So a while ago someone who returned to the game was asking questions about ascended armor and slot infusions. There was “wiki it” and some short replyes but i decided what the heck, i’ll whisper him. So we exchanged whisps for a half an hour and i explained him all i can explain, he said thank you and in a few seconds i got a mail with 30 gold in it. I returned it and said to him : dude no need to send gold advice is free!
So next time before you write: wiki it! Just take a few min off your gameplay and write an actual answer, you may get some token of graditude from lost players. But help even if you don’t get one.
And chances are high that he already forgot half of the stuff you told him. What’s so wrong about telling someone to use the wiki? I mean players created that wiki to help other players.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
I usually tell people to use the wiki but before that I check out it myself IF you can actually answer the question via the wiki. Most of the time I’ll post the /wiki [word to find the answer].
