This is indeed a bug,but there is a workaround.
You have to use separate tears for right and left torches.
Make 2 different piles and use one for torches 1,3 and
the other for torches 2,4.
There is more info about this on the wiki.

Tears of Itlaocol mini dungeon puzzle,that is included in the living story achievements,
seems to be bugged.

It would be nice if they could give us packs of vegetables and fruits,
to throw on bad and untalented performers.
After enough is thrown on them,they get a debuff that doesn’t allow them to
play their instrument for some time.

I don’t know if this is happening due to lack of optimization,or because there’s an insane amount of players all in the same small zone,but the moment I land on SC,I get a 50% drop in frame rate.
I don’t generally have problems with lag in GW2.Even in WvW the game plays fine,
but SC is really bad,to the point of being unpleasant,and a place to avoid.

Only the music keeps on playing and a relog is required to fix the sounds.

This is not a bug.
They added new waypoints in some zones,near the guild jumping puzzle
areas.If you alreay had these zones unlocked,you need to go back and
discover the waypoints and then you’ll get the title.

I’m all in for darker nights.
I believe the reason there is not much difference between the daytime and nighttime
lighting,is that each zone has it’s own day/night cycle clock.
The snow blind fractal proves that they can very much create beautiful dark environments.
But if night was significantly darker than day,and to take it even further,if there were
sunrises and sunsets,that would make the current time differences between the map
zones even more apparent and annoying.

I got both a lvl 80 Guardian and a lvl 80 Warrior and I still believe that the warrior
is the better class.But..I never tried to WvW or sPvP in full zerker gear.
I save that for PvE only.
If warriors expect that they can now use their full zerker gear in WvW
and sPvP and get away with it because of boon hate mechanic,they are
in for a rude awakening.I believe a lot of the whining that led to this
boon hate came from Warriors that a.were going against def Guardians
in melee combat with zerker gear and b.made poor use of their long bow.
Guardians still have tons of retaliation,and more inc damage means more
outgoing retaliation,so good luck with the boon hate if you are not adequately
def specked and careless.
Bad warriors will still get facerolled by any decent Guardian 1 on 1.

I just finished both living story lines.
Both were great fun,and I can’t wait to see how events will
turn out in the next chapter.
No 8 bit b!@$t there,thankfully.
And here’s a question.
Will the newly introduced living story areas remain in the game
and become permanent part of the game world,or will they just be
used for these living story chapters?

I’ll answer your question. This is the best mmorpg where you see the minority (whiners on the forums) being unhappy while the majority are enjoying the game.
Guess that makes you a fan boy?……
Expressing an opinion in the forums is not whining.
Expressing an opinion about a game developer confirming this is a game and not a world is, indeed, whining.
I did not say anything about any game developer.
Uh, yeah you did:
“They created a beautiful fantasy world,and then they’ve done everything
they could to make you remember in every step you take,that this is a game
and not a world.”
What part of this comment do you find hard to understand?
In other words it says that the world if full of stuff that break the immersion.
It is about the world.

Yes please.
There is a large part in the left bottom corner,in the map of Tyria
that is covered by water.
I expect that at some point,they will release this as a mega
underwater area.
Underwater combat,is one of the strongest points of GW2.
I understand why players might feel frustrated about it,since
it is in many ways different than on land combat,and you
basically have to learn to play your class twice.

Subscription fees are no indication of the quality of a game, in fact it’s quite the opposite!
Look at those poor sods playing WoW for instance – they go weeks and months of running the same instance trying to get a piece of gear to unlock the next tier. That’s not a game mechanic, that’s a ripoff.
You mean like running fractals over and over again for ascended gear,or like running dungeons over and over again for lodestones and gold?
I don’t see much difference there.
There are poor sods in GW2 as well,me included,and they’ll grind the same world events,dungeons,and fractals over and over again for months,before they get their gear.
You are right to say that a sub fee can in no way assure the quality of a game,but there are a few games that I could pay,and pay a sub for.
I wouldn’t pay a sub for GW2 as it is now,both as a service ,and as a level of
polish and bug free content.

If a monthly fee meant,a lot less bugs,and absolutely no
overflow servers,and no queues for WvW,and a healthy no nickel
and dime economy,then I would pay a sub.
But,for the quality and the service as it is,no I wouldn’t.

I don’t like leveling alts,and generally I stick to my main char
and play it as much as possible,but in GW2 I’m already leveling
2 alts,and I find it rather amusing.
I started with one mule,in order to just get a crafting skill to 400 and
in the process I got to love it.
I intend to level up all of the available professions.
Leveling and learning other professions
has given me great understanding of not only those other two
classes I’m leveling atm ,but also my main class.

Just a quick update on where the whole scavenger hunt system stands since I know that’s a topic many of you have brought up recently. We’re not currently actively working on building any sort of legendary precursor scavenger hunt, this is something we want to do in the future and we’re in the midst of designing how this would function, but no one is actively building this feature and you should not expect in the Jan/Feb/March releases at this point.

If they implement this,they will kill
all support builds.They will also kill
every other build, of classes that use
boons as core mechanics,like the
Guardian.
It is at least ironic,that players that
play the most favoured,and least skill
demanding class,the thief,are complaining
about bunker builds, and accuse other
players that play such classes, of being
mindless button mashers.
Giving boons to allies,and being hard to
kill is what I’m supposed to do as a Guardian.
And I doubt that a player with a Thief,ever
put in even 50% of the effort I put in as a
Guardian, in order to survive their mindless
dps and stealth mashing.
As for those that say that the game is not
support oriented,I advise them to check
the description Anet gives for the Guardian.
It is “an exelent support fighter” and “uses
shouts to buff allies”.
Punishing a boon class for doing what it
is designed to do,would be the equivalent
of having the Thief loose health everytime
it stealths,or have the Messmer take more
damage for every clone it has active,or get
players to take damage for every condition
they apply.
Now that would be interesting.
Boon counter mechanisms and builds
are already in the game,and the last thing
this game needs,is a simplistic and general
debuff to the one build that gives,high burst
and utility builds,like theThieves,a run for
their money.

I’ve made my peace with GW2 dynamic content,that
was supposed to result in longlasting effects in the
game world and make my actions matter.
It doesn’t,it’s not even close and that’s ok.
It could be done.If there were 5 times as many de
as we have now,and if there was a team unstopably
working on creating new content,
and if the maps were a lot larger etc etc.
I see the current DE system of Gw2 as an evolution
of the PQ system in WAR,and have no further expectations.
And of course I don’t take the manifesto seriously anymore.

I never had problems with lag in GW2.
Yesterday I started doing fractals,and it is like I’m playing a different game
with way worse servers.
I get permanent 2-3 secs ability delay.
Today,at some point in the fractals I was pressing abilities,but they were not executed.
I could see the ability buttons flashing,but nothing was happening.
Also I could not hit or take hits either.
It was like I was not in the dungeon.
During this period,fps didn’t drop at all.
After a couple of minutes,all the abilities I pressed before,started going off
resulting in another 30 secs of my toon spamming stuff uncontrollably.
Then I got 10+ sec ability delay for another 2 min.
Then I left my party and got out of the fractal.
In my many years of gaming,I’ve never seen lag even remotely as bad as this in a dungeon environment.

They’re not going to prioritize home worlders and kick guesters because that would be griefing. The most they could do is give home worlders in overflow the priority. Now imagine if the guesters were in the middle of something, such as a guild challenge or open world dungeon. How would it be fair to suddenly kick them? They should have joined overflow to begin with? It didn’t exist of course. They should have guested on the other server? Now they’re complaining.
If you’re going to kick guesters, you might as well kick everyone in the zone that’s not participating in the event. That’s what you want right? Or, you want it to be fair to all the home worlders? Then kick all the level 80s out of the low level zones in favor of the lower levels, so the fresh level 1 doesn’t have to deal with it.
The absolute simplest solution is to revert the chest loot. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did that just to stop the whining, a lot of which is based on false information.
Since guesting I haven’t been able to finish a Jormag event, and before guesting there was never an overflow map in Frostgorge, on my server.
You haven’t been able to finish the Jormag event and Frostgorge has been in a constant overflow since… January 28th, 2013?
Surely you meant since February 26th, the day chests became worthwhile and everyone started to farm them.
I made a choice to play on a server.
I demand to have priority on that server over a player who has chosen
another server as a home.
It is that simple.
All the rest stuff you added about lower level players/zones etc are your suggestions,and assumptions.
As you noticed, guesting was not a problem before the chests.
Which is another fact that proves that currently the guesting system is
being exploited by farmers and should be removed until the devs can
improve the system and make it farm proof.

Dragon events farming is just the symptom.
The problem is that the residents of a server don’t have priority
log in over guests.
Guests should automatically loose their place on the main server when a
resident is trying to log in.
If playing with their friends is that important,residents should have the choice of
following their friends in the overflow.
But we all know this is not the case.
This is just farmers exploiting a flawed system.
-Win a pip,lose a pip,win a pip,lose a pip,lose a pip,
lose a pip,win 2 pips,lose a pip,lose a pip…………..-
-Go go Espartz.-
I do too hope they find a solution soon,but I don’t see this coming
in less than a month from now.
So farmers will have a lot of time to stack up their rares and the rest of us can
wait it off.
I don’t see how devs overlooked this flaw and implemented guesting,
when it is obvious that this game is infested with farmers.
Why didn’t they give priority to the residents of a server,
over the farmers that want to guest and farm dragon chests?
I wrote on another thread and I write it again here.
Since guesting I haven’t been able to finish a Jormag event,
and before guesting there was never an overflow map in Frostgorge,
on my server.
I don’t even wait for spawn timers and all that bs.
I just play the game and if a dragon spawns when I’m around
I hop in for the fight.
Now this is impossible.
Way to go for not making this game a farm fest.
Cheers once again.

I haven’t been able to do a single Jormag event on my server(aurora glade EU) since guesting.
Before guesting I never ever saw an overflow map on Shiverpeaks and even in Orr
A few minutes ago I was not able to enter the main server and got thrown in
overflow.
On a weekday morning that is.
Again the server was full of guests farming the event.
I demand to have priority over guests on my server.
If Anet can’t ensure that,they must disable guesting.
This is just a case of lame farmers destroying yet another game.
Cheers Anet.

Even if they increase the level cap,I don’t see them introducing new gear.
Maybe they will just boost current gear to compensate for the higher
levels.
GW2 is at the verge of being tagged as a gear grind game as it is,and I doubt that
is something Anet wants.

Maybe what they are trying to do is make you go off

The new scaling system is great.
I now actually stop and take part in the events,and there is at least a slight chance
of failure.
Before that,all open world events were dumb and suitable only for farmers.

I never undercut.
Depending on the rarity and availability of the item I’m selling,
I will either match lowest seller,or increase the price.
Items such as crafting mats and greens are sold within 24 hours.
Rares and exotics may take a couple more days.

I read about the discount and got in the game.
I thought why not.
I can spare a few gold for a couple more bank tabs.
Opened the bltc page.
Tried to convert gold to gems.
The rate was 1 gold for 45 gems.
1 bank slot cost is 480 gems.
Closed bltc.
My bank space is great,no need for new slots;)

I was going to the trading post in black citadel and ran into the grafics problem. This didnt cause me to get stuck or anything but was amusing for a few minutes. Problem stopped after i moved past the karma weapon venders.
Unfortunately this seems to be a camera bug.
This was posted a few months back. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Parts-of-the-world-disappear/first#post993366
Even before that,I opened a CS case including
a few screenshots with the bug.
I currently have a CS case open again,regarding this bug.
This video was recorded this morning,after I disabled services,in order
to check if it’s another programs interference causing this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5JJrQrT5Sg
Note that this is taken with supersampe on.
The past week I’ve been doing map left overs.
I covered Fireheart Rise,Frostgorge Sound and Diessa Plateau.
The impression I had was that the problem was fixed,because
I didn’t see any of this bug whilst exploring.
Then I came out of Flame Temple Toombs,in Diessa Plateau ,
in the area around the Vista and the bug was all over the place.
Then I tried to explore the Black Citadel,and that is when I got the previous
video and opened the CS case.

Scepter is not a ranged weapon and should not be used like one.
The 1200 range of the orb is just theoretical.
Even an elephant can dodge it at that range.
It is more like something to use whilst closing the distance,or
trying to escape,and when recharging your virtues/utilities.
You need to be fairly close to your opponent for it to make sense.

I think this was maybe a recent change. I have never tried this with Guardian shouts but last night I tried to set my warrior to auto-cast “For Great Justice” and it doesn’t work anymore.
My prayers are answered.
Warriors auto spamming “For great justice” near crafting stations and banks
was a plague.

People talk about thieves and mesmers being a pain in the kitten but I find that the guardian (a well built one) is the hardest class for a warrior like myself to kill. Even if you go glass cannon, hundred blades will not 1 shot most guardians, at most maybe get them down to 1/4 of their HP (if you are lucky and they don’t block all your CC or break out of stun.
They block like every 3rd of your attack, constantly have protection and retaliation so you do like 1k crits and 400 normal damage while taking damage yourself. Whatever little damage you do to them, they can heal it up rather easily as well. Going melee against them is like a death sentence as their greatsword can pack a punch and eventually they will wear you down with burns and retaliation. I find it kind of frustrating.
Does any1 have any tips to fighting Guardians, except maybe running or to zerg them? Honest question, I have not really played a guardian so a little bit of insight would be much appreciated.
Permanently blocking every 3rd attack is impossible.
It might be like that at the start of a fight but there are periods
when a Guardian has virtues and utilities on cd and is very vulnerable.
You have a bow.
Warm the Guardian up from range.
Let him use some of it’s virtues and utilities to counter you.
Then close in and finish the kill.
I don’t understand why a warrior with a proper ranged weapon would
like to engage a Guardian only at close range.

As an introduction I would like to state that it is
not my intention to troll,or alarm you with this post,
or even interrupt anyone’s slumber.
Has anyone else noticed that the amount of dps and utilities available
to some classes and builds is way over the top and makes the game
a bit unpleasant?(for others)
So…. in a warfront.
Thief goes out of stealth.
A few seconds later my hp are already at about 50%.
I try to counter it.I dodge I use symbols,virtues,shouts,
and everything else at my disposal.
I’m a mace and shield guardian,so I got ways to counter dps.
It looks like I’m getting back in the fight.
But now most of my good stuff is on cooldowns.
And the thief stealths again.
It goes out of stealth.
I die.(please don’t cry)
That didn’t last more than 20 sec.
I post the death breakdown.
These numbers are on a def spec guardian,that stacks 20000+hp
and 2000 toughness.
And I really should not complain that much.
At least I had a chance to see it and fight it for a while.
A little later I was next to an ele.A thief came out of stealth on him.
I cast a symbol and mace 3 but the ele is already dead.
It took two(2) seconds.That fast.
So all is well and beautiful in GW2 warfronts.
Class balance is clearly a good base and a solid stepping stone to make
the big move and introduce GW2 (thi)e(f) sports.Or ….
Well,whatever.
PS 1 Don’t nerf Thieves.I’m leveling one my self.
PS 2 Nerf DD eles.We don’t need them.We got thieves.
PS 3 Nerf Guardians.They don’t die as fast as other classes.

So I’m thinking I want to get back into this game but I’m so sick of greatsword usage, I mean this game has hammer so loosely used and I really want Anet to rework the hammer for Guardians. I took a look and the warriors and its really good for dps and the hammer for Guardians is just slow and awfull. why not shorten the 3rd bash down 3/4 from 1 1/4 to 1/2? I wish they looked at this part of the forum, they never do..
Look I gotta big hammer-I’m going to hit you-Up goes the hammer-Slowly-
Steady-ooooo I’m gonna hit you sooo hard-Nooo don’t dodge,hammer has cookie-down goes the hammer
