While it might be too difficult to implement, one would think that it would be logical to be able to fire ranged weapons (bows, staffs, etc) while mounted. I mean, Native Americans and others were known to be able to shoot their bows accurately while riding full-tilt on horseback!
This maybe?
Exactly!
Also, isn’t it about time that the “juvenile” pets that Rangers have, pets that we’ve had now for years, are finally allowed to grow up and become adult pets (more power, HPs, etc)?
Any chance of adding that to the new expansion at some point?

From what I could see, looking at some of the areas we weren’t allowed to go to during the demo, there may indeed be high, vertical areas where gliding might be still needed (or different mounts that have vertical capability.
If I understand things correctly, you will not be able to avoid using mounts in PoF. It sounds as though specific mounts will be needed in order to advance through specific maps areas and/or specific tasks to continue through the storyline.
I guess I’m still unclear why some do not see PoF as an “expansion”. Whether it is a big expansion or only a small expansion, or regardless of whether or not you like what will be in Pof, isn’t it nonetheless an expansion? It adds or expands upon what is already in the game. Isn’t that the definition of “expansion”?
I agree that it is not “selfish” to want a game that you’ve spent money on to cater to your interests. It is though, in the real world, a bit impractical or unrealistic. Your interests may conflict with the interests of many others. Or your interests might actually end up costing too much for the company. Who knows! One would assume that a company takes in a LOT of requests, adds in constraints for time and money, then tries to create a product that balances things as much as possible. The odds that the specific interests of one single person are totally addressed is likely to be low. However, the odds that SOME of the shared interests of many people are addressed is probably higher. This, of course, assumes that the company is behaving logically and wants to stay in business for a long time!
So different strokes for different folks. Hopefully we can agree to disagree.
I for one love the idea of mounts. So does my daughter. And if they eventually add the mounts to the rest of Tyria, as they did bringing in the gliding from HoT, it will add some new elements of fun to old Tyria.
While adding mounts may indeed drive some people away, I’d be willing to wager it might draw some people in, including some people who had already stopped playing GW2. I’ve chatted with some players who told me that they had stopped playing GW2 a while back, but when gliding was added, they came back because they found it to be fun. That will likely happen with mounts as well.
The term “expansion”, to me at least, means that it is supposed to EXPAND upon what is already there. So it is expanding the map content, story content, character capabilities, etc. It is not supposed to make a bunch of stuff all new and different. If PoF was going to be “Guild Wars 3”, then I would expect things to be different/new.
I may need someone to help my aging memory here.
For those complaining that the new PoF expansion does not have new raids and such….didn’t most of the current raid content come AFTER the HoT expansion? During the Living World updates? But in order to get that new FREE content, you needed to first have the HoT expansion.
I saw nothing in the expansion announcement that suggested that there would NOT be new raids, etc, coming to us in the future. I could easily see extra/new FREE stuff added on later, but one will need to have the PoF expansion.
I am able to access the game normally as well.
So is Anet now formally acknowledging that the fault did NOT originate with the various ISPs, such as CenturyLink? And that their repeated assertions that the problem was with the ISPs was WRONG?
What is the point of having the Agent of Entropy achievement set to “infinite” if, after achieving it a finite number of times, and maxing out on the number of achievement points you can earn, you no longer earn any more achievement points? Each time I hit the required amount of salvage (200), it says that I received 2 achievement points….but I don’t!
So either fix it to remove the cap and allow a player to receive 2 points every time he/she hits the 200 mark, thus truly making it “infinite”, or have the achievement no longer be active after a player gets the max number of points.
You might try changing the address that the -assetsrv points to!

Sorry for the newbie kind of question here….
I can download the curl zip file, no problem. But how do I actually install it?
GW2 Tech Support keeps telling me that I should change my DNS addresses to the Google Public DNS. That seems to be their official recommendation at this point.
Further email from the GW2 Support Team when I asked what proof they had that the ISPs were to blame:
“Any answer as to the cause of the issue would be speculation on my part. Speculation is not helpful. That being said I think you have a strong misunderstanding of how ISP’s function. They may be separate corporate entities but many of them run off of the same infrastructure and run through the same hubs and data centers.”
So they do NOT know the root cause. They are only speculating that it lies with the ISPs.
Latest email reply from Anet regarding the problem and the “fix” of using the Google Public DNS….
“I cannot fix your ISP’s data centers I can give you a step to fix the issue but I cannot make you use it.”
So Anet is essentially saying that it is my ISPs fault, not theirs. Even though many more ISPs than the one I use are involved in this. So all of these ISPs must have the exact same problem at the exact same time….and Anet has nothing to do with it.
GW2 Tech Support suggests that I change my DNS settings to use the Google Public DNS. However, CenturyLink advises me to NOT do this, as it may create some other potential problems, such as slowdown/freezes or sudden disconnects. As it is, using the -assetsrv option, I am indeed experiencing some momentary slowdowns/freezes.
Obviously, something happened last week, somewhere, which is causing this problem. It is not isolated to one ISP. Anet need to fix this.
I was just informed via email:
The issue was fixed. You should be good now. Are you still having issues?
Regards,
GM SwayedUp
Guild Wars 2 Support Team
I responded that he/she must not be serious, and that, without the workarounds, absolutely NOTHING has been fixed.
Not fixed for me yet!
So it seems as though it’s not just CenturyLink customers that are having problems connecting. As such then, can we still really state that it’s on CenturyLink’s side and not Anet’s problem?

1) After I start the app (using 64-bit app), it just hangs until I get the error message. Never gets to login screen.
2) Located in Colorado (metro Denver area)
3) ISP is CenturyLink
I also ran a NetworkDiag is anyone wants it!

Sorry for the ignorance…but how does one do a “traceroute”? I tried that in command prompt, but it was unrecognized. Is it the same as a “ping”?
It could be that the single Anet server that appears to be having issues services Colorado, Missouri and the surrounding area. It may indeed have nothing to do with CenturyLink…but who can tell for sure?
Yeah, I can get on other MMO games (Guild Wars 1, No Man’s Sky, etc) as well.
I’ve also submitted a ticket.

Another Colorado/CenturyLink player not able to get on. Currently 8:27 AM here. So is it Anet or CenturyLink that’s the problem?

Any North American people/guilds still looking for people interested in learning raids? If so, please add me! I’d like to at least start with a raid that I could get through and open up my raid mastery track!
Did that as well. Guild chat box still not working.
I am having this problem now as well. I can do any other sort of chatting, just not “guild” chats.
I’ve made sure all the correct boxes are checked. I’ve even tried logging out and logging back in, even quitting the game and restarting. Nothing seems to fix it.
Unfortunately, I suck at those HoT adventure games as well. Just no way I’ll ever get silver, let alone gold in most of them. Any without those silver/gold mastery points, it is mathematically impossible to obtain my final mastery, which I need to get Gift of the Itzel. So I too hope that they either make some of those adventure games easier or add a new route to obtaining the points.
Ok, thanks for that tip!
For the Gift of Hidden Descent though, you have to do stealth gliding will ALL classes? So you would need 8 characters (or 9 now if you include revenant)?
I wish I could also get Gift of the Itzel, but it seems that you need the last Itzel mastery for that, which I can’t get. (I suck at the adventure games, so cannot amass enough mastery points for the final one. But that is an entirely different story!)
Okay, so I have all of the gliding masteries, and have done the stealth gliding. I have still never received the Gift of Gliding! Is there something else I need to do?
Yes, I’ve done all of the other things like strongboxes, mastery point locations, and such. I’ve even gotten a few silvers/golds (I think) in the games. Mathematically though, there is simply no way to gain enough more points without more silver/gold awards in the games.
And for me, it isn’t about having a higher number next to my name. I’d simply like to try using the perks that come with the one mastery I’m still missing. It’s not a super important mastery. I can easily play the game without it. I’d just like to get it for completeness.
I don’t mean for this to come off as some sort of whining or tantrum from a player who just isn’t as “good” or “elite” as some other players….
Perhaps it might be nice if the developers came up with some alternative avenues for gaining mastery points? I play a lot, but nonetheless I am still not very good at the games/adventures where a player needs to place silver or gold in order to gain that mastery point. Some of those adventure games seem ludicrously difficult to score silver or gold!
I have gained all but one final mastery in HoT, but without being able to score high enough to get silver or gold finishes, there is simply no way now for me to gain enough points to finish that last mastery….which I would really like to do!
I can’t believe that I am the only player in this predicament.
Same here! No where to go on the attack path
When and where will the Dragon’s Stand areas Thorn Hollow and Deserted Coast be available so that I can finish off the Dragon’s Stand Explorer achievement?
Same for me as well. Using 64-bit client
I had enough points to train my Ranger about half way with the Druid specialization, and I got the Druid staff. My problem though is that I cannot seem to access or actually use the Druid skills! I cannot seem to assign any Druid skills to the lower bar and the Druid staff says that it is unusable for me.
Any chance there might be a kind player who could help me with the Not So Secret jumping puzzle diving? Maybe a Mesmer with porting? This is the last diving achievement I need, and it was already hell for me getting the jumping puzzle achievement….don’t want to go through that hell again!
I’d be willing to pay gold for the help! I realize some will consider this “cheating”, but at this point I don’t care!
First glitch for Windows 10…
Hunt through your shiny new start menu and select the “Settings” tile, then select “Network and Internet”. Select the “Ethernet” on the menu at the left and then “Change Adapter Settings on the right. This brings up the Network Connections” dialog box (you could just go there direct in the Control Panel if you can find it). Right click on your ethernet adapter (it should show your network or be flashing on and off) and select “Properties”. Click the “Configure” button and select the Advanced tab. Select the “Energy Efficient Ethernet” setting and disable it… problem solved.
Hmmm…I don’t seem to have the “Energy Efficient Ethernet” setting available to me!
If WvW map completion is no longer a requirement for a character to achieve World Completion, how about removing the four Sanctum jumping puzzles from the jumping puzzle achievement? I assume that the World Completion change was made because some players are not into WvW, and completing those maps can be very difficult at times doing it solo. The same is true though for the Sanctum jumping puzzles within WvW. So how about some consistency here?
I’m still having a similar problem….can’t find my 30th badge. No idea which one is missing. I’ve gone through the dulfy guide 2 or 3 times now, but still cannot find it!
I’ve seen looks of different builds, but not much using a Sylvari.
Would Seed Turret or take Root be a good skill to keep, in place of some of the others I’ve seen with prior non-Sylvari builds?
Same problem for me. I was able to buy some gems twice through PayPal, but after that, I keep getting the error message.
I just noticed that I am close to achieving “Hammer Master”, with 483 out of 500 kills. The thing is though, none of my characters (Ranger, Engineer, Elementalist and Mesmer) can use a hammer! How is it possible to have attained 483 “hammer” kills? Do some character classes have skills and/or spells that can be counted as a hammer?
I too am lousy at WvW. I’m trying very hard to simply complete my map but can’t seem to quite get it. Unfortunately I’m on a very busy server and can’t afford the huge gem expense to switch servers. I see a rotation take place…try to run to an area that I don’t yet have…and invariably end up getting waylayed by a roving band of enemies. I have no desire to take part in the battles. All I want to do is finish my frickin’ map!
What I’d like to see is an option where a player could be a sort of “Swiss Guard”…totally neutral and allowed entry into any place, so long as he/she stays non-aggressive. I have a feeling that is the only way I’ll ever be able to finish my map!
