Crap you beat me by 15 minutes!

I was surprised no one else posted it before us lol

Atherakhia.4086:

As for the char clipping, do as stated above. Introduce a fuedal japanese style flagpole that attaches to the armor

They already are doing that in the next update.

Thanks for the video preview. Can’t say that I’m interested in these skins at the moment, as they look rather bland. But that could change when I actually see them in game.

Either way news skins is never a bad thing.

Any sites with just the pictures? I’m at work so can’t view youtube

Yes, Dulfy has them up already

Thanks for the link. Just wish these weren’t only available from BL chests :-/

It wouldn’t surprise me if the recipe to infuse it is completely different from what it takes to upgrade a ring.

not possible, because at the Mystic Forge, the amulet is not even on the list of “possible” recipes

You didn’t mention that in your first post, so I was just assuming. Still, I highly doubt the recipe will be the same when they implement it.

If your friends just got the game, why didn’t they join your server?

because they didnt

Well if they don’t want to play with you enough to warrant joining your server, maybe you’re best off staying where you are. It’ll save you a wedge after all.

Alternatively, pay the fee and stop complaining.

to bad they have other friends on deso and joined them and dont tell me to stop complaining, at first i was just asking for what i should do

Everyone in this thread has already said your only option to play WvW with your friends is to pay the transfer fee, regardless if you actually want to pay it or not.

That’s what guesting is for. They made it expensive so PUGs are less likely to leave their world when they face a real challenge in WvW.

i wanna join desolation so i can WvW with irl friends

Well your only option at this point is to pay the transfer fee.

Yeah but tbh i dont really wanna pay £25 just to change server, i mean seriously…..

It’s not much different from any other MMO. You had months to change servers and plenty of notice that the fee was coming.

one month for a BiS item on 100% probability is fine.

especially if you have to invest 20 minutes a day for it.

This is my view too. If you want the gear more urgently, go do fractals.

ANet has to balance laurel rewards in relation to running fractals.

That would be fine, IF the amulets were actually available via fractals. But guess what, they’re not.

gw2db.com shows that there are infused versions of the amulets. Whether or not the laurel ones can be upgraded via the MF remains to be seen.

And it’s interesting to note that the Triforge Pendant is listed on there as “Encrypted”, and there is no infused version.

Toss the ring in the mystic toilet along with 5 vials, 3 globs and a shard. You can now equip both rings.

trolling or for real?

I’m not trolling. If you have “Red Ring of Death” and “Red Ring of Death (Infused)”, they count as separate rings and can be equipped at the same time AFAIK.

Toss the ring in the mystic toilet along with 5 vials, 3 globs and a shard. You can now equip both rings.

StevesDad.8213:

Why are you blaming new playersfor not claiming servers that became full before they purchased the game? The analogy doesn’t work, and is indeed ludicrous.

I’m not blaming anyone. Just stating that if a server is full it will be harder to get into, much like a sold out concert.

Analogy is working as intended.

No, really, it isn’t.

Actually, it is. New players have to deal with the consequences of buying the game months after it’s launched by potentially not getting onto the server(s) they hoped to get into. This is really no different from any other MMO.

The ascended fractal capacitor already has better stats.

Shinzan.2908:

With guesting, your characters can play on any world where you have friends—with certain restrictions. For instance, you will not be able to participate in WvW while guesting.

Clearly states you’ll be able to play on any world you have friends on. The restrictions refer to certain features being unavailable (WvW), not that the worlds you can guest on will be restricted.

No, it does not state that clearly. The certain restrictions still pertain to the “any world” part of the statement. They gave an example of one of the restrictions, not all of them.

Sprawler.5612:

“When Guild Wars 2 launches, you will also have the option to play with your friends on another world with our free “guesting” feature. With guesting, your characters can play on any world where you have friends—with certain restrictions. For instance, you will not be able to participate in WvW while guesting.”

http://www.arena.net/blog/choosing-and-transferring-worlds-in-guild-wars-2

Truths – Can’t participate in WvW.

Falsehoods – At launch
Any world

In the same quote you posted, it says “with certain restrictions”. They neither confirmed nor denied the ability to play cross-region. They gave one example, not every example.

I actually had a dev play along with my guild and I a few weeks ago in Straits of Devastation doing the Balth event from the northern invasion point all the way to clearing the temple. Needless to say, I can imagine they do pretty much the same things we do when they play the game.

Pretty sure this isn’t a bug, but rather a game mechanic. When you are the only person in the darkness part, the light shows up, but if there are a number of people the light will not show up.

How is it a “cop out”? “Guild Wars” was a series of events in the game’s history, whereas Guild Battles are GvG.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Guild_Wars

I’m not saying I don’t miss GvG, but they are different terms entirely.

I ran level 15 and 16 last night after the patch. No agony issues on either.

Yeah you’re getting the two confused. Infusions can’t go in upgrade slots.

As far as I’m aware, Fractal weapons do not have an agony slot as they aren’t Ascended.

Yeah, those look like the Draconic pants

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Draconic_armor

The difficulty will still be based on what the leader decides what the scale will be. Agony, I’m assuming, will still be applied at fractal 10+ (including for the lvl 2 player).

And yes, all players will scale up one level in 53 is completed in that group setup

kokocabana.8153:

His specs indicate a laptop. I’m not sure if you can replace the PSU cheaply or at all.

You problem does sound like a power issue. Power has nothing to do with RAM usage.

Yeah, I missed the ‘M’ at the end of his processor. Things are a bit more complicated if it’s a laptop. Could be a malfunctioning fan too.

Kennidy.7108:

I don’t think it was a power issue: League of Legends takes up more power to run the game (I play LoL on high settings with RAM coming to 1,400,000kb total) than GW (I play them on low settings RAM only maxing to about 800,000kb). Heat is definitely not an issue, either. I would leave my computer off for a good length of time and it would still shut off immediately after trying to play.

They aren’t talking about power in regards to RAM, but your power supply. It’s possible that your PSU may be at fault for this.

If it happens again, I wouldn’t bother taking it somewhere to get it fixed. Try to get your hands on another PSU before you do that, at least.

There was another thread about this about 2 weeks ago. Have yet to hear a dev response about it though.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Veteran-Champion-drops-non-existent/first

If your laptop supports it, you could look into getting a dedicated graphics card. Most laptops have integrated GPUs that don’t perform nearly as well.

Did you get the POI in the Order of Whisper’s base?

Pretty sure this is intended and not a bug. At least it’s been that way since release.

Oh, BTW Anet Moderator, I’ve noticed you’ve changed my topic from “I quit the game due to Ascended Gear” to “I feel like quitting the game due to Ascended Gear.” There is no “feel” here.

Erm, it was right in your original post

Pray For Kosmos.5849:

I admit I’ve taken it too personal, but this is just how I feel about the game at the moment.

FWIW, those are two different meanings:

I quit my job. It’s a horrible place to work, that’s how I feel.

I feel like quitting my job.

Yeah, I know. I’m just giving him a hard time is all.

I admit I’ve taken it too personal, but this is just how I feel about the game at the moment. I want horizontal progression and expanded content, not new stats and gear treadmills. Besides arguing about new gear and such, has anyone actually permanently or temporarily quit the game due to the introduction of Ascended Gear? Whoever has temporarily put the game to rest, how will the next big update change your mind? Are we over-reacting and taking it too personal?

Keiran.1896:

No, the game was growing boring. I wanted to come back to get this reward, and maybe get a bit of faith back like everyone and play again… and I did not get it. Arenanet is failing in everything, even in courageous attempts to help us. This is how it achieved me.

I don’t think achieved means what you think it means, at least not in this context lol

Attended, no loot, got mail

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/what-are-the-requirements-for-LS-chest/first#post944512

They are aware of there being an issue with the script.

If you checked the other threads before posting, you’d realize they’re working on it

Gaile Gray.6028:

Guys,

We are looking into this matter. We initially believed that anyone who earned a chest surely would receive one, and that is why the email refers to clearing the mailbox. We believed yesterday that the list was complete and all earned chests were distributed. However, we have noted continued questions about the matter and we are not discounting that there may be an issue. The team will get to the bottom of it and I’ll update you when we know more.

Dungeons reset the same time the dailies do, which is midnight UTC (4:00 PM PST/5:00 PM PDT).

If your post is in UTC time, everything is working as intended as you did path 1 twice after the reset.

Ingardi.5216:

Well did it occur to you guys that i need the money for the hardware update?

So your plan is:

1. Get a refund on the game
2. Buy new hardware
3. Have no game to play?

I don’t understand how a patch can come out and the dc problem for fractals of the mists was never addressed. That should be there number 1 priority but instead they put there time into fixing exploits, seriously get it together arena net.

Priority for this open your eyes Devs!!!!

You completely ignored the post above yours. The already stated the fix is a lot more complicated than they originally anticipated, but the fix is coming.

Chris covered this in the AMA:

Vet and Champs should give good loot and there are a number of reports on perceived decrease in the frequency of drops. I will be discussing this in depth with the Production and Design team tomorrow and we will hopefully have more info soon.

Sbeen a week now, two patches, no news on what they found from their investigation.

Oh and it’s definitely NOT perceived It’s now happening to so many people that the thread for it that’s coming up on being three weeks old has almost reached 600 posts.

I was only quoting what Chris said during the AMA. Pretty sure they are aware that it happens to everyone.

Who knows where this falls on their priority list, though. Or it may have been fixed but they aren’t rolling it out until a larger update (i.e Wintersday).

VincentBalmont.3489:

i understand what you are saying, but how does someone come to know i even have a gw2 account? since my game is on a different pc to my websurfing one. u think they just hack peoples computers hoping that person has a gw2 account? if my pc is hacked then why not just go for my bank account? they must get the account info from anet site. just like the hundreds of people who have ‘authorize login attemps’ they are not hacking everyone in the world looking for gw2 accounts, they know who has them and they try to hack them. they can only get the info from hacking the server or website.

Just because you game on a different PC than your websurfing one doesn’t mean you are any less susceptible to hacking. While I don’t know much about how hackers know who has a GW2 account and who doesn’t, it’s entirely possible that they got into another one of your computers and used packet sniffing tools to determine that.

malevolence.9487:

2 bugs, I just found 2 days ago:

-After finishing the Ascalon fractal, our team was still transformed into Charrs, we were in the Dredge fractals and we were not able to pick up the Bombs to break the door, forcing us into resetting the run.

Just ran this one last night and didn’t run into the issue. Maybe they hotfixed it?

Gwydyon.2105:

- seal status and boss hp no longer seems to be connected, mainly the boss being already down, seal on half hp or more sometimes… the boss will start refilling hp, but the bugs of not spawning and stuff will just go on

Pretty sure this has been the case before the patch. I remember doing the boss the normal way many times and if the seal wasn’t destroyed, the boss would regen health.

The only possible scenario I could see where a tentacle one-shots someone is during the Agony transition. Then again, that’s not really a one-shot though.

kKagari.6804:

Fusoya.2639:

Many people have already experienced the frustration the current system has. With the introduction of Fractal dungeons, you have essentially created an MMO with 20-30 keys for content…that reset weekly. This kills content for casual players.

The simple fix for this issue is making Tier’ed keys. Currently you can only benefit from a Fractal if everyone in the group is at the exact same level (of the lowest players level). If you were to tier the process 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, etc.; it would make creating groups much much easier.

With the tiered keys in place, you can group with people in your tier, upon completion of your Fractal, you increase 1 level each. If you entered dungeon level 8, as a level 1, upon completion you become level 2, and the level 8’s in the group are now level 9. If you enter the dungeon as a level 12 with level 8’s, you wouldn’t gain a level up upon completion, as you are grouping down to a lower tier.

With this change, instead of 20 groups looking for 1 more member for each individual level, you have more groups ready to enjoy the game.

What? AFAIK they do not reset weekly.

They definitely do not. A dev even confirmed it.

ColinJohanson.2394:

We are at least a week and a half away on a fix for this, possibly longer depending on how long it takes to test it properly, we wouldn’t want to deploy anything that makes the issue worse!

Guess the same doesn’t apply to bug fixes.

You do realize Colin is talking about the disconnecting problem, right?

Lol, so its OK then, to release stuff that break the game in other departments of the game?

Uh, never said anything about it being OK.
