Guild Wars 2

Farewell Colin! Good luck on your new journey! You will be missed!

Profit.9037:

I’ve never actually played GW1 before, but I’m trying to find a way to get a fourth point (I already have the 3 from linking accounts) easily. I read somewhere that you can get a miniature and dedicate it in your hall for an easy point, but I don’t really understand how to get a miniature without a lot of money or waiting a year.

Is there any way I can just play the game for a little while and get a point? With over 30 I’d think getting 1 would be easy, but I’m still not really sure how it all works and the guides I’ve read have been a little confusing.

I am sure I have minis I can give you to go into your monuments. Add Madam Bonez to your friends list and I will pass them to you free. I never play anymore although, I do miss it occasionally. 40/50 here, never finished the last 10 points. You can message me here or in GW2 and I will meet you when you are available. Good luck and have fun!

I support this 100%. My best friend actually introduced me to GW1. I joined the year after launch. He lost his battle to cancer just before GW2 was released. Our guild tag is his name. I’d love to show further support of his love for this game.

His arm was amputated from the elbow down but he played like any other person. He was an amazing human and a huge GW1 fan. I hope ANet can somehow allow us to have memorials for friends like him.

Softspoken.2410:

So, just attempted Tequatl. PUG map, and we totally flunked on it. It took way too long (9+ minutes?) for our map to start his first burn phase, and after that we only got him down to half health before the burn phase ended. There was only about 3 minutes on the clock, so the map basically conceded.

Although, our map was having a hell of a time organizing. North defense / turret operators were refusing to check in, based on how the event started with people calling for more operators, but was perfectly fine once it was underway. (I actually left south boats team at the party leader’s suggestion to go north. When I got there, 3 operators, competent defense, I only saw turrets get destroyed twice.)

A major problem in my opinion is that the only crittable location is invisible / impossible to find. During the burn phase there was a good mob beneath Teq’s neck, but it was spread out enough that I’d bet a quarter of the people weren’t consistently finding the hitbox.

Overall, I still think the new HP total is plausible, but the restriction to melee / AoE attacks on a largely invisible hitbox if you want crits is throwing off a lot of players.

This is what I experience a few moments ago. I stood where told the crit spot was but it isn’t targetable.

I enjoyed GW1 and I also greatly enjoy GW2. I look forward to what HoT is bringing. Great post, OP! Great job, Anet! Thank you

We are a small guild as well. I hope so.. : )

I love to bring smiles to fellow players! Consider it done ; )

Nice work guys!

I truly thought it was just me! So happy to see this post LOL

Absolutely Positively LOVE this April Fool’s Day! Thank you ANet!!

Foxfire
Doubloons
Blade Shards

to Material Storage

Geodes
Bandit Crest

to Account-Wallet pls!

definitely!

OP you are correct and I agree with stale.9785’s suggestions. More engaging fights would make it more interesting. Most do need a rework.

OtakuDFifty.2965:

I’ve found that if the Wyvern’s wingbeat knocked you into an updraft, you’d get tossed up an extreme distance. Not much of a problem once you have Gliding Basics, but without it… haha.

BTW, was the ability to glide by hitting an updraft even if you didn’t have Gliding Basics intentional?

After playing, I began wondering about this. What if people do not want the gliding mastery or choose something different first? How will they get to the Wyvern platform? And as you said, what if they are knocked off? Will it be “off limits” until they get the mastery?

MethaneGas.8357:

Great that you’re so negative.
I had a complete blast. Revenant was amazing as kitten. So far I’m blown away, and that was just in PvE alone.

The traits and legendary skills, and weapon skills are just amazing xD

Oh and the storyline was cool and drew me in. I like that our character actually talks too.

My thoughts exactly! I had a blast and loved the Revenant!
I do hope the heal by swapping legends is changed in the future. You can swap from one legend to the other and heal while the other heal recharges.

This thread is why I love the GW2 community! <3

I do hope we do not have to use Guild Merits either. We are a very small guild (10 members) that came from GW1. We have never been able to do the guild rushes or any of those events because we are so small. If it requires those, we will not be able to get a guild hall.

Most of the time, we miss each other when we sign in. We all have families and work so it isn’t often we get to play together. Usually influence is gained in small doses or bought by guild members.

I’m not complaining about being small, I really like it. We are a great “family”! I just hope that they do not make Merits a requirement.

I agree. In chat you see players saying the map is capped but each fort is asking for more to assist. You wp to the main fort and everyone is there waiting. I was at the Vinewrath later and noticed several on rocks waiting for our lane to get in. Not fighting, just standing and watching. Quite frustrating. If they would help, getting to the breach and Vinewrath would go much faster and smoother.

I do not post much, mostly a reader but I had to sign in to tell you how fantastic your design looks! Let’s hope that your ideas/design are considered and put into place! I’d love to see trailers/teasers in game. The overall design was just amazing! Thank you for sharing!

-I always feel obligated to rez NPC. I do not like to leave until they are all alive.
-I love Scarlet Briar when most people hate her.
-I think Quaggans are cute but the way they talk annoys me
-I’ve only done one dungeon since release
-I’ve never been to the Fractals and want to
-I wish with every release we will see UW or FoW again
-I want my FoW armor from GW1

Thank you all for the responses. I searched but didn’t see the other forum post.

I did not see this topic anywhere so I am hoping it is not a duplicate. I have a permanent Mad King Finisher so what do we do with the limited use finishers? I am currently storing them in the bank. I can’t share with guildies or use in the MF. Any ideas if this is just a destroy item?

If he put it in his bank, he should be able to keep it. I do not think it gives you another on a new character but I could be wrong. My son has only received one on his account though.

Kibazuka.1390:

What could possibly take down a giant ship, you ask?

Best response ever : )

Retsuko.2035:

Maybe it will appear in Aurora’s Remains (north or south of this area?).

I was thinking this also because of the heavy vines etc in the area. I ready for more teasers! :-)

Deemo.6094:

Exact same thing….. considering it was the best reward from the seasons 2 wvw chest i would expect it to work. So much effort for so little and the best reward is broken….. WD

Yeah, I’ve gotten few from black lion chests and also got one from the WvW S2 chest. I wish it were working properly. I tried signing out and back in, activating another food choice….Nothing

I have used the primer several times in the past but today it seems that it will not trigger when I eat a food. The food expires after 30 minutes instead of triggering the time that remains on the primer. Anyone else having this issue?

Ahhh, thank you!. Not sure if I was being attacked, I don’t remember. Perhaps my minion caused this. I’m glad to know it won’t be often

A little while ago, I was clearing Dredgehaunt Cliffs. I harvested Young Herbs but received a ruined plant fiber. I am level 80 with the Consortium Harvesting Sickle. I did not think this should happen. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Space.8053:

Or you could do 3 runs and start on a different colour each time.

People never listen do they! Oh well I have my achievement, keep trying to do all 3 starting with Red in 6 mins and blaming builds & player skill when you fail lol.

Our sever always starts on blue first. In map chat people always suggest, start here or start there but it is always blue. Going to be hard get them to start on a different color. Not sure at this point if it is possible.

Glog.4275:

Past 10+ hours (not kidding) iv been trying to get the achievement “No Free Lunch”, and so fare even zerged people have failed to destroy the cocoons in time, its getting so frustrating. No amount of explaining before hand seem to have any effect. Dosnt really help either that it only seem to spawn during the knight phase.

Not to mention the times someone decide to troll before people show up and get themself cocooned and eaten, just to screw everyone else over.

Gah, maybe im just going bonkers from the failing and waiting…

I agree, there are heirloom hunters that I have seen getting cocooned before others can get there. It is frustrating.

My son did it without a party before the patch and was getting loot every time and he was playing a low level. I played a level 80 necro before the patch and got loot off the blue one time (three runs before patch) and nothing from the other two. After the patch, I played level 80 ranger and engi and I never received loot. I was in a party of two for all my runs.

Twilight and Incinerator

Good luck on your map completion!

Basaltface.2786:

This and much more next week. Same Scarlet time, same scarlet channel! (couldnt resist sry >_<)

This is by far the best response!

To the OP, you hit all the questions I hope are answered : )

Thanks for the replies everyone. Sad thing is I will miss it if it is live because I have to work. I know it is whiny but I’m am super excited about the next few updates.

Some of us will have to work the day the event begins, will the “initial attack” on LA be live or instanced?

I asked around and no one else could see the burning tents, so I took a screenshot. I am not crazy. It really is burning.

This is a Pinion Pass where the Marionette spawns.

I have had a blast with this event. I’d like to see it stay but as someone stated it isn’t logical based on the LS. Perhaps ANet could get creative though to allow it to stick around somehow

The mysterious object on the left resembles a coffin or chest to me as well. I think it is paint on the white “paper” because right above the marionette schematic on the wall is more of the red paint. It appears to be part of a drawing of some sort. Interesting

Brendar.3548:

Scarlet: “It’s time to make this dragon my pet!”
Jormag: Eats Scarlet, vomits due to how disgusting the salad tasted. Becomes weak.
Players: Attack with canons
Jormag: 1 HP left
Trahearne: Pokes Jormag with his finger, Jormag dies. “This victory belongs to me!”

This just made me spit my drink out…too funny!

I like Scarlet. She is funny and nuts. She changes things up. I don’t like it has been dragged on for months though. It seems she has her hands in everything but none fits together for me. I could be missing a piece but I didn’t think so. I will have to try the reactor dungeon I guess to get more information to see if it helps. Overall though, I do like her.

Good to see so many players willing to help us “new to fractals” people. I might actually try them after this update. Are there any good guides or notes to newbies that could be helpful?

Thank you! I will check it out

Is this an official email address? noreply@guildwars2.com I had an email from them that concerned me. Thanks for the help in advance
Sorry if this is the wrong place

As many times as she has spawned on my head, I want to take her out!

Well crap. I have the molten on my necro. This would have been great for her. :/

I miss FoW/UW! I wish they would bring them back! I doubt it would be anytime soon but it would be nice to see those return

I am having the same problem….

Thank You ANet. I got my gift

Gaile Gray.6028:

Update: One of the devs has identified this is a bug (but it’s sort of isolated, so you guys who got it are extra special ). They are working on a fix. I don’t have a timeframe for the roll out, but what I believe will happen is that you will get your birthday present in your in-game mail. However, we may need you to submit a ticket. So just ignore my speculation and I’ll continue to update as I learn more.

Thank you Gaile for the update! I am glad there is a fix in the works

Stormcrow.7513:

Go back to the options and change the interface size back to normal instead of small.
This is a bug that has been in the game since beta and has not been fixed.

Thanks! I guess the kids changed the interface to small and I never thought twice. Must have been right around the last update too cause I just assumed it was the update. Oh well. You are my new hero! : )
