1. Change the tickets that were given out already to grey items. Let people sell them for 1s each or something so they won’t complain
2. Fix the bug
3. Redistribute the chests with a new ticket item inside, make sure the vendor accepts the correct tickets
On 4/21 I submitted:
- a bug report in-game (because there is an actual bug involved with the item)
- a support ticket via the website (https://help.guildwars2.com/home)
- I received an autoreply to both the same day
On 5/1, after hearing nothing for 10 days, I sent a follow-up email to the support ticket. I received a reply asking me to submit another bug report in-game.
I thought I would try to farm some dragonite ore this weekend to finish an ascended weapon, but the supply seems to have dried up. The temple events are rarely done anymore on my server (Tarnished Coast), and low level events like the Champion Svanir Shaman Chief don’t seem to drop any dragonite anymore. That leaves dragons on very long timers.
I was at NE tower earlier – I can assure you the said ranger you’re referring to was not hacking. Maybe if you ask nicely they’ll share with you how to do it
Also, that was me who cleared your ac’s behind the gate and on the wall, ty!
If there was hacking, not cool. However, whinging about it on here doesn’t do a bit of good. Report it and be done with it.
You make it sound like an isolated incident, but many people on your server are doing it. Why? Not saying everyone on TC is a cheater, but way more than we have seen from other servers.
If you’re not saying everyone on TC is a cheater then don’t say it as you have done in prior posts.
Huh? which prior posts are these?
The one immediately before you posted saying you were not calling everyone on TC a cheater for one.

You guys are aware that as of now ANet doesn’t consider playing in Windowed Mode or running a 3-Monitor Setup to be an Exploit right?
I’m all in favor of ANet locking down the aspect-display ratio to 16×9/16×10 maximum but as of right now not only are you violating Forum Policy by accusing people of cheating you are embarrassing yourselves by doing it about something that isn’t even considered an Exploit by ANet.
Link please to the post that says this isn’t an exploit.

I still don’t understand why TC is showing so poorly this week. Yes, they are T2, not T1, but they have the population of a T1 server and have been at the top of T2 for weeks. Per Devon, “servers are matched up by proximity of rating”, and TC certainly qualifies without any RNG component (sorry SoS).
I love that the outmanned buff now means zero repair costs — turns risk/reward on its head. Sure, it’s lead to some spectacular deaths, but also to some spectacular wins against long odds. Good stuff.
Heads up… Don’t stand near Siegerazer during resupply at the start of a breakout if you are holding more than 10 supply. You will get knocked down to 10.
Jumping puzzles used to be the fastest way to get 500 badges, but I am not so sure anymore with the bump in WvW loot drops. Run with the zerg or man siege during a tower/keep defense if you don’t like JPs.
When it lands. Even zerg vs. zerg, the opponents group may veer unexpectedly. Application at the last second (additional risk) or predictable opponents get the best results. And forget application via clones/phantasms… they don’t last in the massive AoE.
Figured this would happen. A bigkittento the WvW folks. Hairy Hank and his mamby pamby PvE can just hop into the WvW and be on the same level as those of us who have been WvWing for months.
Actually the PvE folks will be ahead of the WvWers, cause the best gear (ascended) only drops in PvE. Having to PvE to gear up to WvW was a huge fail in Rift. Kind of surprised to see Anet treading the same shameful path.
Sorry if I am not being clear. I am NOT seeing mithril nodes on my mini map. I can see wood nodes, cooking nodes and other ores like platinum just fine. so I don’t think it is a settings issue.
I am finding mithril nodes, but they appear harvested and I can’t interact with them – even in areas I have entered for the first time. My character is only 70, so I haven’t ventured into the other Orr zones yet.
Mithril is used to make level 70 jewelry. It should be available somewhere to a level 70, right?
I was gathering in Straits of Devastation and could see 3 mithril ore nodes on my mini map. However after harvesting one the others disappeared from my mini map. It was time first time in SoD on this character and had harvested 3-4 mithril nodes. Later I came across a harvested mithril node in a part of the map I hadn’t been to yet!
What gives? Is this a bug or is the gathering of mithril ore gated somehow? I need it to advance my Jewelcrafting, so gating would suck if you are only allowed to gather a few a day.
I haven’t finished the monthly for the fourth month in a row because of the dungeon/fractal requirement. Face it, fractals are just dungeons by another name, with all the same problems as regular dungeons: crappy group dynamics (elistist snobs, magic find freeloaders, nightmarish pugs – need I go on?) and boring repetitive play.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let those of us who enjoy this game in other ways finish a monthly once a quarter.
Says clearly here: The Black Lion Chest is getting a spooky upgrade for Halloween. Between October 23 and November 5 each Black Lion Chest you open has a chance to give you one of six exclusive Halloween-themed weapon skins!
Isn’t this kind of thing common sense anyway? Don’t blame Arenanet if you fail to notice an extremely common business practice in MMOs.
Look, when you see a commercial saying “BUY X NOW FOR A CHANCE TO WIN XYZ!”. Did you honestly expect it to get it easily? No. This is common sense we are talking about, not some nefarious scam to take your money.
The word exclusive means it’s just for Halloween.
The word ‘rare’ or ‘elusive’ would have been clearer.
Look, you have a point: every sales pitch sounds like that, thats what sales pitches are.
But if you think this game can afford falling to the standards of second hand cars salesmen’s salespitches… you’re wrong.
It’s extremely risky for an MMO to disapoint the majority of it’s players, especially when it concerns selling things for real money.
Thin ice, real thin ice…
I think Kimbald has it right. Holiday-themed cosmetics are fun for the holiday and then you put them away for a year. They shouldn’t be that rare – what fun is a Halloween party if only one guy has a costume? In other MMOs I’ve played, the game makers were pretty generous with holiday cosmetics, and everyone had fun.
IMO, Anet should have just sold the skins straight up in the shop for the week and everyone would have been happy.
p.s. I’d be happy if they removed BLTC chests from the game. Locked they are virtually worthless, unlocked, they are worth less than the key. They give chests everywhere a bad name.
The real missing info here is the actual odds. I may buy a scratcher now and then at the gas station even though I know it’s a long shot based on the posted odds.
I think in the absence of real info, many people had expectations of generosity set by other games, which clearly didn’t apply in this case.
I bought a 5 pack of keys and opened 5 chests. No additional keys found, and nothing remotely Halloweeny in any of them. Going to hold off buying more keys (I still have 50+ chests banked) until I hear people are seeing the Halloween stuff from them.
To add (I can’t edit my post above), does the ~presence of botters~ affect how quickly regular players experience DR?
I work, so if I get a chance to play 2-3 hours a day, I’m lucky. The DR experience seems to have gotten much worse lately, as most regular players have already completed the content I’m still working on. If the bot:player ratio is part of the DR formula, casual players like me are really screwed.
Is trying to complete a zone (hearts, POIs, skill points, etc.) considered normal game play? Cause I’ve hit DR several times just trying to do that while working on my 100% map completion. There are several zones that have a large concentration of mobs of a single type (centaurs, flame legion, branded or undead). It’s disheartening to have to choose between finishing a zone now or waiting a few days to finish it when you can get normal loot too.
Yeah there’s another thread going on this with dev responses. Looks like the soonest we’ll see a fix to this is Sept 24, IF they can reproduce the bug. I’d love to not be able to reproduce the bug myself.
If it helps I have had this issue a few times. On the first tower to be destroyed is a mob standing on the large rock at the base of the tower, it is somewhat hidden and the tower gets destroyed before you can kill it. When the tower goes down this mob glitches inside the rock and becomes invulnerable. Hope this helps. Ps the clear the beaches is checked and is not a *
Yeah, I noticed this one on run. I’ve pulled this guy out and killed him before the tower goes down and still was unable to complete it.
EDIT: IMO, the key issue here is that the quest objectives complete correctly every time, but the cutscene doesn’t start. A bugged mob (or ten!) should not matter if the logic shows the quest objectives as complete is the same as the logic that advances the quest to cutscene. You could even remove the “Clear the beach” objective, cause you need to do 95% of that just to blow up the 3 towers.
I’ve tried this three times so far, always ends with the Clear the beach objective showing complete, and no cutscene. Already 80, would love to finish my personal story.
p.s. I’ve submitted a bug each time it has failed and included a screenshot. You should be able to see exactly the state of the quest objectives from that.
The game is nearly unplayable for me. I get lag storms of 1-2 minutes at a time and frequent disconnects. When the game is responsive, I’m seeing 120 FPS or higher. During lag storms, I can talk to my guild on Mumble no problem, so I know my internet connectivity is good. I’ve turn down video settings as low as possible – no change.
As others have said, started 2 days ago. No problems of this sort prior from BWE2 until now.

I can’t believe Anet intends for any class to be excluded from WvW. Sure there are other guardian builds, but none are anywhere near as effective in team play. I suppose I could retrait/regear for DPS and go escort dolyaks… oh wait!
The rewards for support and healing in WvW are out of whack. I’ve played about 20 hours now on my support/healing guardian and have gotten one badge and four loot bags.
Basically, I have to PvE to cover my repair costs, let alone upgrade my gear. And face it, it’s not hard for the other team to figure out who is healing when you whip out the big book. Focus fire means even more cash out.
I know my guardian makes a big impact on the field of play with boons, condition removal, heals and bubble rezzes. But I am seriously thinking of switching to a ranged dps class, cause what’s the point if time/effort/skill yields so little?
Average time to enter WvWvW on my server is not 1h but 4 hours and we have guildmates queuing all day (more than 8 hours) without being able to enter while some other can enter, go out and re-enter meanwhile, so there is definitely something screwed with the queue.
Second point, some WvWvW map are less populated and everyone would benefit from knowing how much people are queuing for each map.
The key point is that if you bother creating a guild structure, build alliances and you are not able to log in and play together it is not worth bothering.
