Oceanic looks like this

a bit of a recurring theme >_>

It’s weird because since WM left our coverage in oceanic times in T1 was absolutely terrible, we’d get to < 150 ppt constantly and sometimes like < 80 ppt. I mean SoS has crazy oceanic coverage but we just had nobody at all, outmanned on our BL etc etc. I can’t work out if it’s the NA prime time guys staying up late atm, rallying for the new match-up, or it’s just the (or a new) oceanic crew re-emerging once more.

Currently not impressed with SBI :/

lolwat? Hard to know where to begin with this…

Spent 1000 badges on legendaries and have 270 left, most of it is from jumping puzzles though.

Ugh, it’s embarrassing when people toot their own horn for their groups/zergs simply having superior numbers.

Doing more with less numbers, now that’s worth bragging about.

Kellnor.5428:

Hmmmmm,

Awesome Fights Friday and Saturday, props to SoS and SBI for the effort and tactics,
logged on Sunday and was incredibly disappointed…..

Is there an SoS/SBI alliance? I know it wouldnt be 100% but i was VERY disturbed to come to several points (especially supply camps) where both SoS AND SBI where set up with siege, all though not attacking each other, simply waiting for JQ. And by set up with siege I mean SoS and SBI set up with Ballistas and Arrow Carts just a few feet from each other.

Instances of this happened multiple times on JQ, EB, and SBI, and though I didnt play on SoS today, I was told it happened there too.

There were also instances of SoS coming to defend an SBI owned tower and then leaving as soon as JQ’s force was wiped.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but there seemed to be a LOT of cross-server coordination today and it really killed a promising night of WvW.

I would love to hear what some SoS or SBI kid’s think about this and would HOPE that the large guilds on SoS and SBI are willing to take a stand against it. If you’re really T1 material, you dont need to team up to take us out

Haha this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read in a WvW thread.

Reminds me of 2 weeks ago when maybe 15 SBI were attacking the SE JQ owned tower in EB, we had the wall at a little below half, then a 30 – 40 man (culling ftw) zerg wiped us and left immediately.

The latter parts of your post make it seem like this is the first time it’s ever happened, lol.

Wow I can’t believe some of the luck you guys are having.

I got my 4 endless tonics in 5 attempts – one of them took two attempts, the princess doll.

Maybe it’s being kind because of all the other terrible failures I’ve had in there?

Made my 5th one today after 4 attempts.

So 9 attempts for my 5 endless tonics.

Still can’t believe some are having such bad luck

Spifnar.4712:

You also get Mystic coins from map completions and story quest completion. It could be that the stockpile that people had is going away, and less people are re-doing story/map.

So less supply

They come from Daily and Monthly achievement, not map completions or story… ever.

Bluesavanah.8562:

Sometimes there are new builds that are so small you don’t even notice them downloading. Maybe you missed one.

^ This.

Server resets/maintenance etc reset them as well even if there is no actual new build.

I have never had the nodes change without a patch or server reset on my server, and I farm them a lot.

This used to be the best place for if you’re purely interested fast karma, so I’m just wondering if it’s still running regularly anywhere? I am on Stormbluff Isle and went there during prime time to seemingly find no zerg. Does it still run on SBI? Does it still run on your server?

Mainly interested because I popped a karma booster to use on my karma jugs but would like to make use of the other 50 odd minutes!

I’ve read the Anet posts but I still don’t really understand how the script could be so error-ridden. People received chests who never attended the event (nor even logged in) and then others received nada for attending.

Maybe I’m being too simplistic but I would have thought checks of

*Attended final event, however insignificant input was
*Event finished, chest appeared (I know this wasn’t checked at all or that something went wrong with it)
*Didn’t loot the chest

What went wrong exactly?

I made a note of my attempt “sessions”, using the recipe for 10, while I was trying to get my clovers.

1/9
3/6
2/3
0/1
1/2
0/1
0/1
0/1
1/1

80 from 25 attempts (250 globs/ecto/mystic coins/crystals)

Yes, because the only reason to get a legendary is to show off and make yourself feel better about whatever ails you.

Actually, it sounds like you’re starting to take it personally that someone was able to make a legendary weapon but made one you personally don’t deem worthy. Lol! How ridiculous.

Anyway, congrats, it looks awesome. I want to see a trident in action next…

I’m having the same problem. What pet are you using? It mostly happens to me with the Fern Hound. I haven’t really bothered to test if it’s that pet specifically but can’t remember too many instances of it occurring with other pets.

Anyway, you’re not alone! My pet likes to stand by my side and do nothing as I die too.

You do realize the JP badge accrual scales with level and a level 2 is only going to get 2-3 badges out of it, right?

Admittedly the lowest toon I’ve done it on is 13, but my lvl 13 has got more badges than my lvl 80s many times. Unless it scales very quickly, I don’t think that’s right at all.

I don’t think it’s possible to get 2 badges either. Pretty sure it’s 3 – 6, since you always get 3 sets of badges that have 1 – 2 each.

You’re very likely correct about 3 badges being the absolute minimum. I couldn’t remember the exact minimum off the top of my head, so the 2-3 was a guess (obviously based on foggy memory). But I was farming this puzzle all week last week when our server had complete control of EB and can say for certain that the badge drops scale. My fresh-out-of-the-tutorial characters were scoring +/-3 badges each. They’re now around level 7 and they’re seeing 3-4 now. My low-teens characters were seeing around 5-6 badges. My high-40s character usually saw around 8-10. And my level 80 typically gets +/-16.

We might be talking about different JP’s then. I was thinking of Borderlands, you’re thinking of EB. It’s quite possible EB JP scales, but I don’t think Borderlands JP does.

Found another similar bug – was mining Orichalcum ore with Oric picks and whilst I was mining I changed my logging axe from Black Lion to mithril for the Sapling nearby, and I got 2 ruined ore chunks.

It’s worth noting that it didn’t use my any oric picks for the ruined ore chunks – I’m not sure if it used to hatchets (for some stupid reason) or not though.

Wtb my orichalcum back.

So I wasn’t really sure where to put this…

Very recently I just completed 7 WvW Maps. 4 on one toon, 3 on another. I was rewarded with lvl 26 – 46 junk, but now I see that a much needed change has been made to improve the rewards (Got some blueprints/10 WvW Badges for the last map on my 2nd toon).

But what about those of who have already completed WvW maps? I respect that this happens quite a bit in mmorpg’s – things change that essentially benefit newer players over older ones. However this usually happens over a few years – not a month or even a few weeks.

Are we going to be given any sort of compensation for this? Surely it can’t be that hard to do! Hell I bet most of us would be happy with 10 badges per map we completed and that’s it. Sure beats the ~ 18s I got.

Seeing as the exact same thing happened with the Arah Personal story I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath.

I would never expect compensation for natural progression of a game. But this wasn’t natural progression – these were errors that were rectified for most, but not for all.

Actually reading through the thread it seems like it has always been 179.

Not sure this will be popular but there are actually 179 areas in Ascalon. I just got the 175 achievement despite having 4 areas uncovered in the last Ascalon zone I’m working on completing

Did they add extra areas or has it always been possible to get 179?

Okay… starting to get really frustrated over losing things in this game.

Guild: I am the Lizard Queen
Tag: Rhcp
Server: Stormbluff Isle

Issue: Spent 1k influence to queue a Research Architecture level 2. It took the 1k influence, started in the build queue but when I log in the next day it is gone and the influence is gone as well.

Please, please tell me this can be fixed… I’ve already lost items on the TP and now this, ugh.

Not sure if this fixed itself or was fixed, but it’s fixed for now! Thank you very much if there was some intervention

Mungrul.9358:

I have the same; 100% on each Orrian map, yet only 60/65 in the Orrian Explorer achievement section of Explorer.
Similarly, I have 100% in all other maps except Eternal Battlegrounds, yet Kryta, Maguuma, Shiverpeaks and Ascalon all show as incomplete. I’ve done Chantry of Secrets too.
Does it stay like this until you’ve completed the final map, or is this a bug?

It’s a well known bug. I’m stuck on 59/65 for the Orrian exploration but I can’t find the last one. I figured Arah may count towards it or something because I haven’t been in there yet :S

Dortmunder.9572:

I’ve got 100% in all 3 of the Orr zones. Not sure what you could be missing.

You may want to check with one of the online maps that shows all the points to find out what you’re missing.

Do you have 65/65 Orr exploration in achievement section? Or, do you have 60?

I’m not talking about leveling. I’m talking about the exploration achievements. Orr is out of 65, but it seems it is bugged and the maximum you can get it is 60. I’m stuck at 59.

From reading a few topics it seems that Orr exploration can be capped only at 60/65 – however I’m on 59 and I can’t see what I’m missing.

So…

- Does the Arah dungeon count towards this?
- Are there any smaller areas that are notorious for being missed?

Participating in events etc isn’t rewarding any influence despite being the leader/representing the guild.

Well it’s been over a week now and it seems the cancelled items that were lost during the TP being broken are never coming back.

I’m guessing absolutely nothing can be done given it’s been a week, but another response basically saying as such would be great, please. I would rather see a “You will never get the items back, sorry” than nothing at all

Thanks in advance.

Well it’s been approximately 4 – 5 days now since I/others cancelled items during the time TP was broken and it looks like those items are never coming back.

That’s really frustrating. Is there nothing that can be done?

Amurond.4590:

Thanks for that.

But it seems like a lot of the remaining problems in this thread relate to players who removed items during the period several days ago when the TP wasn’t working properly. The items were successfully removed but they were never returned to the player (not in pick-up tab!).

Could we please get some kind of response to this? Even if it’s just to say that those items are gone for good – at least then we can stop wasting time chasing them up.

I’m still investigating these reports, but I don’t have any answers either way yet. One thing I can say is that more than 99% of the stuck transactions during that period are now completed.

Thanks for the response! Good to hear you’re still investigating, please don’t forget about us.

For the record, I lost 3 items when I pressed remove. The 3rd item was just a cheap item (Black lion Chest) that I removed much later than the other 2 and I don’t really care about it. I specifically put it up and removed it to test if it was working properly yet. The first two were worth about 35 – 45s each though. :\

Thanks for that.

Koshchei.4670:

During the period that the trading post was not delivering items I removed 250 cotton from sale which also weren’t returned to me. After the trading post was fixed for purchases the buy order I made for leather appeared but my own cotton was still not returned.

Yeah I’m having the same issue albeit with different items. Hopefully it’s fixed at some point. :\

Would just like some kind of confirmation that cancelled transactions will also be available in pick-up after delay. I already received the money I was missing so it’s not looking good…

I got the money refunded back for the only buy order I had lost.

But I haven’t got the two items I removed from being posted that I am sure I cancelled before I put this buy order.

Are these included in the “transactions” that are hoped to be fixed up due to the delay?

Cheers.
