Guild Wars 2

I personally play real life instruments but i can’t play ingame instruments with the sound enabled! Why is that?
Every time i pick a note for example with the harp, the acoustic feedback occurs 0,3-0,5 seconds AFTER i pressed it and it feels very unnatural.
If i speed the song up and press a note every 0,3 seconds for example i always hear the previous note and it is so distracting that i have to stop it everytime…
So the only solution so far is: Disable the sound and then play the melody in your head and hope it sounds right for the others around you.. or slow it down…
Can you please disable the acoustic feedback delay on the client-side for us?
This would help everyone

I, too, am tired of begging ANet to give us this armor. I instantly fell in love with it the first time I saw it before the release of GW2. Sadly, there’s been no reply from ANet and this is the fifth thread about this subject I’ve commented on.

Was a huge disappointment when I couldn’t find this armor/hair style for my Mesmer…

I really do like the female nobles outfit. It looks great all around, except for one part.
The clipping of the hair is just way too much. It wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t have to look at the back of your character so much. I know I may just be nitpicky, but it really bothers me. Is it possible to fix this without having to put your hair up in a bun?

Exp- I got a letter in the mail about this dungeon once. I think.

Fun Fact: P1 Exp Zerk Meta Build will give you the same pugs as P1 PO-TA-TO

It means “there are good players here so feel free to join with your minimum lvl, well-spamming staff Necro and we’ll carry you” right?

If there’s nothing to do, nothing new, I got everything I want, pvp/WvW is unbalanced, my story is complete, fractles/dungeons are stale, world completion is “been there done that” collecting spoons? No thanks. Crafting is done, legendaries are for the birds, there’s literally nothing else to do that intrest me.

So why do I keep coming back? Why are so many players who have done literally everything, keep playing? Why are you still playing? What is this Guild Wars attraction that won’t let go even when there’s nothing left?

Point of this post is, I can’t figure out why I’m still spending hours playing this game.
I don’t do anything.

Taku.6352:

Easiest fix is to just put some useless skills as your underwater skills.

I wish I could do that. All pre-charged mantras are lost as soon as you even step in a puddle of water if you don’t have the same ones equipped underwater…

Yes. This is a massive flaw and time sink for me.

As someone who lists almost every item I get on the TP, can we PLEASE get the feature back where when you go to sell an item, it displays the price of an item you already have for sale on the TP? I have undercut myself countless times. A few copper here, a few silver there… it adds up. Why was this even taken out !?

Changing the colour of particle effects is not in any way hard. Not to mention a price tag of 500 gems for the colour change of those masks, its not right at all.

As someone with 21k+ AP, a change like this needs to happen. 33k is just not viable for the large majority of the players, if you want your prestige for all the AP you got, try and unlock both sets/use your exclusive title.

Plus this way it makes much more sense that you can unlock a full set before getting repeated pieces. +1 for this idea, hope Anet listens and rebalances this!

Edit: Changed 36k to 33k.

Good news everyone! I’m currently working on implementing the official trading post api.
What that exactly means and what features are supported, will be announced with the actual release.

I’m currently working on the item search and fixing bugs and I’m looking forward for a test release this week.

A fix for these terrible drop rates would be the use of the Pristine Relics which are currently useless.

Tonic for 250, weapon skin for 50, would make everyone happy and reward the grind with content specific skins/costmetics. Just food for thoughts Mr. Devs. #Hype

You could even allow a 100-250 pristine relic upgrade to your backpiece to change the color so you don’t have to make a new model. #Value

PS: A fix for the late lag spikes in fractals would be much appreciated, its getting really annoying.

Praise the gods of the RNG Tonic.

Maybe one day we’ll be able to spend a stack of pristine relics or two for it.

:(

Rule of thumb: Never buy things unless it’s the weekend.

Rule of thumb #2: Never buy things unless they’re time-gated or on sale.

Rule of thumb #3; If you ignore the other 2 rules, you paid the price you paid. Deal with it.

I would say that you shouldn’t put your hopes on a legendary if you are seeking encouragement and support. While you may have a lot of the needed materials, if you do not have a precursor, then you are looking to be paying 2000 gold or even double that…I`ve lost track of their ludicrous price at the moment.

I would say that your large stock of tier 6 materials is probably going to make you a lot more happiness if you sell it and spend the gold on other things. I did this a while ago when I realised I would never get a precursor, so instead I got myself many nice gemstore skins, bank slots, a full set of asuran cultural heavy armour and goodness knows how many other things.

I`d also suggest looking into getting a decent, social guild. Even when you aren’t playing, their forum chatter can be a valuable and welcome thing that can be accessed online without needing to boot up the game at all.

That’be nice but this godforsaken place is a wrong subforum for such general suggestions.

Though this is something a lot of the community could relate to. If we had masses rambling on how much sense this makes maybe we’d get changes in like 2015. Ha.

Only being able to do the dungeon paths once a day sucks.

I understand that anet made the change “because its unfair for the casual – most of the playerbase”
But then again, it is unfair to someone that has more time a specific day to run more dungeons and can’t log in every day for instance.

What I suggest is something similar to how Destiny does something and it works well.
Instead of locking rewards on a daily basis, lock it on a longer timeline (weekly, or monthly) and allow for the path to be run multiple times up to the reward limit.
ex: I know i cant log in tomorrow, might as well run it twice today as i have time. Or farm the hell out of the dungeons today (for the week) and do other stuff the other days.

I made this suggestion for the dungeons as it’s something i’d like to see, but the game is getting too much overall “daily musts” which pretty much dictates what you end up doing that day (every day).

At least this way players get back a bit of control over their game time like “today im going to farm dungeons”, “today im going to craft this week’s ascended materials”, etc.

summary: Higher limit over a longer time (basically equivalent to the current system of doing things daily) with the objective of giving players more flexibility of how they feel like spending their in game time.

What a wonderful and specific suggestion! But I feel it will be ignored along with my proposal to add a “Make me happy” button to Guild Wars 2.

Speed is very fast on the sickle; 1/2 – 3/4 of a second from start of harvesting until the crop is placed into your inventory. Much faster than any other sickle I’ve seen. You get the goods halfway through the swipe animation, so no need to wait for the entire thing as you can run away mid-animation and have the goods.

Logging axe seems to take longer than normal, but it’s just a delay at the start while you “whip out your axe” before the first chop. Though I think the time between chop 2 and 3 is slightly faster, so it works out to the same as other axes in total harvesting time.
So instead of delays being like:
- 1 – - 2 – - – 3
It seems more like:
- – 1 – - 2 – - 3

Weaponsmith will enable you to craft ascended weapons at lvl 500.
Jeweling is not raised to 500 yet so the best you can craft are exotic trinkets.
But that also means that leveling jeweling is still quite cheap, once jeweling gets raised to 500, there will be alot of demand for jeweling mats and it will get more expensive.

You dont need to set foot in a dungeon to get that title. I imagine most PvP’ers are closer to having it than actual dungeon runners. We spend our excess tokens for money not collections. Kind of a joke really.

Updated OP

Issue: Timer activation issue
Information states the timer on the 2 Week Banker Golem does not start until its first use, though the item being received in the mail that was given away as today’s freebie starts the timer upon receipt into your inventory from the mail and not upon first activation.

Quick Jump To: Discussion taking place down below
Summary:

• Is the timer supposed to be activated upon receipt and the info on the item is inaccurate?
• Or is it bugged and the timer is getting activated prematurely upon receipt instead of upon first activation, potentially due to the wrong version of the item being placed into the inventory?

It’s a shame Anet can’t require “reading” as a minimum requirement for the game. There have been a lot of complaints come up that turn out to be user error.

John Corpening.9847:

To kick off the brainstorm I’ll throw out this idea:

1. When a player places a piece of siege they receive a stack of “Exhaustion”
2. A stack of “Exhaustion” expires after three minutes
3. If a player has three stacks of “Exhaustion” they can no longer place siege

A good idea, but it has a problem:

Several EU servers are running a policy where only commander should deploy siege blueprints. This is to avoid each player throwing ram blueprints on the same gate and thus causing just confusing and players not having enough supplies to finish them. A commander can easily alone put 3-4 rams on one gate or set up 4 catapults to take down a reinforced wall with the current system or deploy more than 3 superior ACs to siege up a tower or a keep. Now he would need to wait to break in the inner keep or somebody else would be needing to deploy the siege. Siege blueprints are a big cost for PuG commanders (myself included), but some receive donations from their allies. Popular commanders are generally trusted by their community and the least likely to be trolls due their visible role in the game.

Siege building and ordering last minute upgrades is also used to burn the supplies in case the keep is full of them, it is surely falling to the enemy hands.

Removing the suggested “exhaustion” restrictions from those who have the commander tag up would not completely stop the abuse, but make it much rarer and more visible. Many now have a commander tag, but a typical siege troll has his main on the enemy server and and is using an alt account and often has an upleveled character, who doesn’t have a commander tag.

Neither of these address the intentional destruction of golems. I mean intentionally taking control of golems from waypoint and just walking them off the cliff.

I cannot invent a foolproof system to stop the siege trolling. My best advice is: use the ingame report tool and have more Arenanet employer or volunteers (among the player base), who handle the reported cases. Serious violations should lead to banning that account from entering WvWvW. Hacking is another issue, which would need human interaction. Infracting the players who report hackers and possibly denying them the access to these forums, is just aggravating the player base.
