Guild Wars 2

Gz for the things you’ve managed to do

I also managed to miss this change. I do read the notes always very carefully except the WvW section which I just skim through since I’ve never played WvW and was not planning to do so.

I wish it had been informed in some other form too or indeed under Legendary/general changes section in the notes.

Capes are stupid.

Reading this thread, we understand your questions and want to share a little information: This set is designed to be a special, exclusive set and therefore it’s a little different than most. There are a couple of other interesting factors that you’ll want to know: The set is available for one ticket. It will remain priced at one ticket into the future, so someone who wants it now doesn’t need to be concerned about it becoming unavailable or about it rising in price in the future. Other sets currently available are not account bound, such as the Cavalier Weapon Set which was recently released at a price of 1 Black Lion Claim Ticket and remains at that price now. In addition, we do intend to continue to offer tradeable sets in the future. If you’d like a preview of the new set, go to your bank wardrobe and filter for “Privateer.” We hope this answers your questions, and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Why is the set special? Why would we think it’s anything but you testing the waters on how much you can screw over customer before there’s backlash?

Yeah somehow I have a feeling that next set will be special too.. :P

Skins behind gemstore RNG was not a good idea in the beginning and it is not a good idea now either. Horrible decision to repeat the mistake.

I hate the awkward instancing system that the halls have. Why does it have to be a 5 man instance at start? That means that there is constant switching of instances even outside of guild mission times.

At mission times it means that first 5 people entering the hall do not even get the switch notice since they’re still loading, and they have to go all the way out and in again and hope that the others won’t get instance switch notice when they’re out. :P

This instancing thing is what bothers me the most.

Easy way to fix it would be to make it start as 15 man instance instead of 5.

Yes a function like this would be awesome. Also while we’re at it, “undo” feature would be great too, and the ability to remove just one decoration, maybe target it and remove only that. Removal tool that we have now kinda removes half of the room just to fix one candle.

Nutjob.9021:

I bought the toy based on the description that seemed to indicate it would automatically default to toy travel when I wasn’t fighting. FALSE!

I also didn’t expect my weapon bar to go away. I realize that there is a key you can press to go to the weapon bar, but there is no reason for it to take over the weapon bar in the first place.

Basically it’s too high a maintenance for me to use all the time like I thought I would. I wish I could get a refund.

Huge waste of money. Unless the change these things to make them more user friendly, I’m never buying another travel toy again and I’m recommending to everyone in my guild (TTS) that they not buy one either. Of course they are free to ignore that recommendation.

Hehe exactly, and this inconvenience is one of the reasons I always enojyed that there were no mounts in GW2. They function exactly like this.

At least they’re not “required” yet as they do not give speed bonus like traditional mounts do.

Mounts are in the game now, so just wait and surely they will add more traditional types too.

There is one very easy way to get rid of flippers completely. Stop selling to buyorders.
No need to add more complicated and harmful ways.

Combination of PVE and PvP (in daily farm skyhammer). Dailies done in 5-10 min, every day.

Yeah it does smell like mounts. Can’t see many other reasons for this addition.

Scaling system is one of the best things in GW2. Keeps the whole world meaningful.

I spend way more time in low level maps on lvl 80 characters than I ever did while leveling them.

Got that email too at April 2nd.

Silly question, but did you actually queue it in the processing machine to actually be completed and checked if there’s many other items to be built before that tree?

SAB things should take only 1 minute processing.

Maybe it was completed and someone planted it?

Just wondering because I have never experience any decoration just disappearing and I have made a couple of hundred decorations.

Don’t use the waypoints if you prefer running from place to place.

Asking them all to be removed IS a bit too much since I’m sure plenty of us prefer using them. Watching your character travel for 5-10 minutes when ever going somewhere isn’t that fun.

/say range is fine as it is, but /emote range indeed is way too wide.

For example while being in Royal Terrace, I can hear all /emotes the Roleplayers are doing in the whole other part of the city, the bar in Ossan Quarter. This is a bit too far range.

Reducing /emotes to same range as /say would be good.

Disappointing to see this kind of true exploits being allowed.

saalle.4623:

Without megaservers,you would never even do DS anymore,all maps,all servers would be empty

This.
There would not be DS or any other HoT map at all without megaservers. Except maybe sometimes in the few fullest worlds.

I have 362.00 on one computer and 359.06 on other and at least both of those drivers works without problems.

Your sell listings area seems to be scrolled down. Scroll it up to see the lowest listings.

Characters looks way different now too. Pale skins look gray now, like stone, and a bit more tanned skins are very dark.

TD adventure Beetle Feast also missing the 1 skill.

Yes raids are bad if the MMO in case is not WoW.

Raids are done only a small percentage of the population, and even they get bored of them after a while.

They also eat a lot of resources to develope which is away from other parts of the game that are actually played by more people. We are seeing that happening already. Just new raid bosses and wings coming and other parts of the game have not reecived pretty much anything.

Today the wells are on the menu.

Make a wide library shelf too. Goes well with the reading chair. That one costs only 940g.

Yeah.. that account name. I can foresee some complications with it.

It’s simply impossible to use now. Have to hope it’s a bug and not intended change.

Yes this is so horrible change that I really hope it is a bug.

Happens when updating buy orders too.
Find item you want to update, put in new price, and the list reloads immediately and jumps back to top. Then have to scroll to the item you just updated again to cancel the old order..

You could try getting AdBlock addon for your browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) and see if it helps with your problem.

MashMash.1645:

See, I couldn’t even finish this fricking title!

Like, seriously, why? I can understand some limit, but 45 is way too small.

Titles are supposed to be just titles, short description of what the post is about. You’re not supposed to put the whole post into the title.

For example

Title: Forum post titles too short

Text: Why are forum post titles limited only to 45 charcters? I really wish they would be longer! continue…

MikeiMighty.5197:

As an example, for those wanting to create their own library, Only 1 Wide Library shelf would cost you….. 90 linseed Oil and 1500 coarse sand!!!! Ignoring all other components, this is WAY to high. It needs to be reduced by a factor of 10! This items shouldn’t cost much as they are DECORATIONS! Why make them so expensive.

Indeed, and don’t forget that it also needs 1500 Ancient planks, and 4500 Elder planks. :P
I once counted the total cost for this item, and it was around 900g which is a bit too much for one shelf.

Destroying the best instrument in game? Never!

Pling plong pling plong pling plong nonstop forever. It is stuck ringing in my ears even when the Ho-Ho-Trons are no longer there. Pling plong pling plong. Make it stop. Please.

One more thing is that it happens only on a character that has maximum bag slots unlocked. No problems on characters that does not have all.

arrayano.8401:

Hey guys, I think I found a work-around for this bug (it works for me at least).

- Open your inventory and close the shared inventory tab, then close your inventory and open it again (all your tabs should show closed now).
- Open all your inventory tabs starting from the bottom one by clicking on the tab and not the bag icon, once they are all open close your inventory and done.

I have disconnected and change characters and it seems to be working for me, but as soon as I touch the shared inventory tab it gets all messed up again and have to repeat this to fix. Hopefully ArenaNet will soon fix this but meanwhile here is a work-around for you all.

That’s a good find. It actually worked, but like you said, right after using something in the shared slot it gets bugged again

Yasi.9065:

Empty em, take them out of their bag slot on the side, put them in starter bag.

Then put them back in their slot and they stay open.

Didn’t work.

Same thing happening here. Bags are always closed when I open my inventory.

Lucky.9421:

Our guild just did this without even getting downed and none of the 5 of us got it.

If doing it in group, be sure that everyone tags every chak that is killed. You have to get credit for enough chaks to get the achievement and it does not count the ones your team mates kills.

Pets are best to be put on passive in group so they don’t go and accidentally kill the chaks that no one else has tagged. Everyone needs credit for almost every kill. There is only a couple of extra chaks.

Ayrilana.1396:

It’s not a scam. It may be overpriced for what you get but it’s far from being a scam.

For those who read the patch notes and instant-buy it on the tradepost without further notice, it is.

I red the note and knew exactly what I was buying.

Copper fed salvage matic and Royal terrace pass. Kinda handy things in these slots.

Yes please, I love gliding!

Now these would be the kind of gathering tools I could actually buy.

No mounts thanks. I like gliding.

Zaxares.5419:

I can guarantee you, as someone who writes instructional documentation for a living, that even if ANet provided all of this information in-game, people would still be too lazy to go read it. :P

A lot of what you mentioned actually IS taught to the player via those lesson tips that pop up whenever you gain a level. Of course, if the player is, as you say, simply grabbing their rewards and closing the window without reading any of them, they’re not learning this information.

Indeed, I have seen people asking “How to use this? [itemlink]” when literally the only line in the tooltip says “Double-click to use.”

Charrbeque.8729:

Why does ArenaNet have to make things so complicated?

It should be simple.

Are you sure it would be simple..?

Where is the button?
How do I press the button?
Why do I have to press a button to get something?
What button?
Where is the bacon that comes when I press the button?
What do I do with bacon?
Why the bacon is not good enough?
Why do I have to press the button with every character?

Thanks for the answer.

Is there any chances for the cap to rise? 1000 is very low cap considering the huge size of the halls. Ours still feels almost empty at cap and we don’t even have the lvl 40 exploration yet.

1000 would be fine for a hall 1/10 of current size.

We were very disappointed to run into the cap so quickly as we were expecting it to be 2000.

994 is ridiculously low cap considering how HUGE the halls are. It still looks almost undecorated and we have not even unlocked the rest of the hall yet. It would be fine if the
hall was 1/10 of the size, but this big halls really need way higher cap.

Still no information about this.. Is the actual limit some kind of secret and if it is, for what reason?
