Guild Wars 2

Please don’t attack Gaile by saying things like she “promised” us something. She is our most valuable advocate. I agree I would appreciate a status update such as the dev’s thought these skills are in a good place or some type of feedback. But calling her out like this is a contributing factor to why communication can lack, as the devs feel safer saying nothing.

Really you could just put on an outfit and take all your armor off and use a white stat weapon. Interesting idea tho.

It would not be the same. Just would not.

I’m trying to help both Anet and myself here. A true game-Plus would sustain my interest for several more months, at least. I’m already looking for something else to play.

Yeah I know. Personally I think this is a cool idea and wouldn’t mind turning this on from time to time for fun. I would never bother with the work around I suggested as it would be a pain with like clogging up inventory and a bother to unequip everything plus I don’t care for outfits and put a lot of thought into my character looks. Unfortunately I doubt it will happen. Anets resources seem way too stretched to consider ideas like this.

Yeah. Those new stats are from HoT. The all stat runes are from the core game. They were never updated but I’m sure it’s intended.

Really you could just put on an outfit and take all your armor off and use a white stat weapon. Interesting idea tho.

Yeah I had the same reaction last month when I was finishing up nevermore. At that time it was around 500g but still….. I will not be doing another HoT legendary unless this gets addressed. You can craft orbs yourself which is probably cheaper but also very time consuming. I haven’t checked current prices to compare. It may just continue to go up at this rate. I honestly thought it stabilized a month ago around 500-550 but I guess not. Though I always have rotten luck in TP predictions so don’t take my advice on that without some more consulting.

This should be fixed in tomorrow’s patch.

Thanks for the response. You’re awesome! ;-)

Nevermore IV: Ancient Svanir Relic

ANet mattp

OP:
I destroyed the collection item “Ancient Svanir Relic” for nevermore IV. I later realized i need to take the item to a location. Grandmaster Hobbs does not sell it back though? Is there anyway I can get the item back? Am I unable to complete the collection now due to my screw up.

this was, in fact, not on Hobbs’ vendor. Good news though, in the next release Hobbs will sell this (and the other “Lay To Rest” items) if you accidentally delete them.

Yeah I agree. Hopefully someone else might have some ideas.

Sorry it didn’t work for you. Anyway it’s getting fixed tomorrow so I would stop re running fractals.

This guy posted a ping plotter pic. Could use a second opinion on it

riku hatake.4523:

I am guessing I am using pingplotter wrong. It starts off looking like other pingplotter pictures I’ve seen posted and then after a few seconds I get this.

Your ISP is unable to reach Anet at all. That’s what it is showing (I believe, admittly I’m not that experienced in reading these, but I’m sure we can get a second opinion).

this thread is strictly for communication through Reddit. If you have criticism please use this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/So-Reddit-Wins-Again/first#post5874997

Guys you really need to post a picture of ping plotter test if you really want help. People saying things like “the problem is between me and Anet, I ran all the tests that is what they say” is totally not helpful. Yes it is between you and Anet but WHERE the problem is between you and Anet is the important part. This is the point of ping plotter it shows you where the problem is. Simply saying there’s packet loss is already a given. I can tell you without running any tests you have packet loss. It’s where the packet loss happens that is important.

Also referring to other games does little to help determine your issue. You can’t compare games that are on other servers in other locations. You might be able to play a game whose servers are on the east coast no problem while having issues with a game that is on the west coast.

Unknown.2189:

Actually I’m having this problem today aswell, decided to log in and do some pvp, but I had some extreme lag in the game. I thought it was my internet so I restarted my modem and router. Then i tried to get on the game again and it kept dcing me, “the game client has lost connection to the server.”.

Ran speed tests and checked websites, youtube vids etc. and my internet is running perfectly fine. Its just GW2 giving me problems, I just got into the game but contact list wont load and it showed my ping is 1300 which I’ve never had before. :/

Those tests you tried won’t show you anything unless your speed test was to a Seattle server. You should run ping plotter or tracert. You can google how to do it. You can post the results in a picture here.

Sometimes people will post in open world LFG. But yeah no timer.

Rabadilla.8791:

I think that’s not the question, because when i get it was on the fisrt try and after delete it i went like 15 times and nothing. And no, Hobbs didn’t sell it and i don’t have it on the inventory of any character of course.

There’s 3 ways this can be fixed. You tried two already (talking to Hobbs and redoing the fractal). I threw away almost all the items on accident, including this one. I was able to complete the collection without doing a ticket.

You did not try simply going to where the achievement tells you to go and interacting with whatever it wants you to interact with.

Do not try to get it again. Simply go without it and see if it works. Like I said I know I threw that item out and I had to do one of those tree suggestions for each item in order to make it work. I just don’t remember specifically which suggestion is correct for this item in particular. But seems it is the one you haven’t tried yet.

Sorry I know this sounds confusing.

Some of these Hobbs will give you back, others you need to completly redo and others you just do whatever task the achievement tells you to do without actually having the item in your inventory and it still works.
Hoping they can actually fix this but as of a few weeks ago that’s what I had to do when j threw away a bunch of things I needed.

You won’t get another weapon. That is an achievement reward and you only get the achievement once. You need to go to your last trait line and make sure it has daredevil in it.

It will reset with the patch. For example you were able to do the festival daily twice on the day it was released as the patch itself reset the daily and added the festival rewards. Then again at reset.

I’d love to see some type of reward track like pvp. Just have it unlocked once you max out a mastery track. Then be able to switch which track you want to activate like in pvp. Rewards would be different depending on the track you choose.

I wonder tho how much this would change prices of item like amalgamated gemstones. You can make orbs with 4 double clicks then make the gemstones with 4 more double clicks. That’s a lot of work and I think one reason why it’s more expensive to buy orbs outright or to buy the gemstones outright is because of the work behind making them. It would hopefully just level out rather than all the “base” materials bumping up in price so that there’s very little difference in buying outright versus crafting in the forge.

DoM.8396:

I know right… What the heck is going on. I contacted my ISP and there isn’t any issues with my network or surrounding networks with my ISP.

You might want to try ping plotter. It’s free. This shows there is only one hop to Anet which really isn’t possible (I think) unless you live near Seattle and are using the same ISP as Anet. Also ISPs pretty much always give you that as a standard response. Usually it’s not just your ISP but some other provider in the chain that gets you to Anet servers. But in your case I don’t see any chain.

Try setting everything back to default (in the settings) just to be sure.

Have you tried equipping a different back item? This does seem pretty weird.

DoM.8396:

I’m here in New Brunswick Canada, and I am experiencing spikes of up to 500ms. Any skills that are movement based glitch out. This all started the other night when the servers went down for roughly 3 minutes. Ever since they came back online, I’ve had these issues.

Run ping plotter and post a pick of the findings here if you have trouble interpreting it. Most likely it is your ISP.

Charrbeque.8729:

Something is strange for sure.

Yesterday I went to sell about 69 elder wood logs and wound up selling half of them 4 at a time.

The sell instant price was only 1 copper less than the lowest sell order. But what happened was only 4 logs sold. I figured it was just the last of a buy order and expected to sell the rest of the logs at the next lowest price which had an order for hundreds of logs. However, it sold another 4 logs at that same exact price as the first 4 logs. This happened a few times for around 28 logs or so before that price was finally gone and I could sell the rest all at once to the next price price at 1 copper lower.

Basically, as soon as I sold 4 logs, another buy order at that price for another 4 logs was posted, instantly after selling. Over and over again.

Theory: what TP bots do is buy/sell low quantities of a single item at a time and not too much all at once in order to avoid detection. So once you buy/sell an item a new listing is immediately put up for the same price. Basically, it may have been set to buy elder wood 4 at a time until it reached a certain quantity purchased, then the bot stopped buying for a while. Just a guess.

It really is quite annoying when trying to instantly sell a whole stack of items only to keep being forced to sell just a few at a time. It took me a couple minutes just to sell my wood.

Interesting. This is similliar to problem I’ve had except with buy orders.

Pets are easy to manage. Warrior is not in the best place right now. You could get it to work but it’s range is not quite the same. your best bet is to try them out and see what you like the most. That’s the best option. But personally I would go with ranger. If I were you.

Are you using the old address to try and submit the ticket? I also saw a thread recently about someone’s email being compromised and Anet flagging it as compromised somehow. It seemed like some automated thing like the posters email sending them spam then Anet flagging it. You can try to email them directly. You could try posting in the sticky for tickets for review to get their attention.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/cannot-submit-a-ticket-2/first#post5971761

Well since no one else is posting it’s unlikely it’s an issue. You could try submitting a ticket if you think it’s an individual issue. You may want to include things like screen shots showing your accommodations before and after and you are repping your guild etc.

icy.9250:

If I’ve completed, say, Fractal 50, I think I should be able to open any of 1-50, even if my personal reward level is awful.

[Edit] I changed topic from “Personal Fractal Reward incorrect” to “Personal Fractal Reward shouldnt affect Open” , as I think that’s my real issue.

It makes more sense to incentivize progressing from level 1 and up rather than backward or skipping around.

Metridium.2391:

This is like, the only MMO without a target of target function, lol

……….?

I am at loss. Name a few?

WoW, WS, FFaRR….

I know you mentioned outfits but really that’s the only solution. I don’t see them going and recoding all armor to get this to work. It would be a huge time investment and personally I would rather see them investing elsewhere. That would be why I object.

This is mostly good for healers. It makes it easier for them to quickly target whoever is taking the most damage as they are the bosses target. In games like ffARR this sort of thing makes sense. Healing in gw2 is kind of a mess of spamming healing skills. Single target healing isn’t really necessary.

I’ve experienced a similliar issue with custom buy orders with crafting mats you want to buy in bulk. It’s not a big deal, but when I would try to place a custom order for a lower price, I’d up the current buy order by 1 or 2 Coppers. However there would about 1-3 items for the “buy it now price” that would match my buy order.

So basically I would put in a custom buy order for 250 of an item, however it would flip to “buy it now order” because 1-3 items over there matched or were lower than my custom buy order. However the rest of the 247-249 items would be significantly higher.

I would keep buying the lower priced “buy it now” items but they kept coming back instantly. Granted I could keep clicking over and over to get the items at a lower price but it would take forever.

I only noticed this when making my Nevermore and haven’t had an issue since. I’m not saying it’s bots for sure but it was a bit strange nonetheless. I guess it does help prevent inflation, but my guess is the intent is to catch people unaware that the custom buy order is getting switched to buy it now and someone makes a decent profit off of that.

Nothing Anet can really do about this. Most likely it’s your ISP. Run a ping plotter to determine that.

+1 Change Display Name

<software developer babble>

The fact ArenaNet can’t allow Display Name change sounds to me like the back-end database is using the Display Name string as its pk

It’s not about any technical issues. They can and do change display names for people using their real name or real email. Or if third name became offensive like Isis because of current world events. It’s about holding people accountable and not allowing them to change their name when they ruin their reputation.

Your personal reward level/ fractal level has been lower the whole time. You have done 50 but your reward level was lower.

Example: reward level is 45, you run a 50, your reward level is now 46, you can now open 46, but you also got the achievement for 50 for completing it.

If you want a game with good Aggro/hate mechanics play final fantasy ARR. Their system makes a lot more sense and is much more complex. However the combat is also very repetitive and more strategy based where GW2 feels more skill based and more dynamic. I would love a game that could combine both but it might be too difficult to pull off or too challenging to actually play a game that could do both.

FlashAhAhh.4307:

Mystic forge stones can be used in place of exotics – they are worth at least 1 Gold each. This puts the silver ahead by a long way.

But at the end of the day it’s a convenience item. Just bought one (will be watching my salvage rates carefully)

Not really… Mystic forge stones for mystic gambling, are kinda crappy. It makes your end result weapon random. So there’s a good chance if you even get a precursor it will be a crappy one. I rarely bother gambling that way. You can use the cheapest weapons also in that case and those are probably around 50s or so. But mostly that is a waste and you’re better off investing in 4 of the same type of good precursor weapon.

Maybe you sent that person 11 on accident. That would make some sense.

How many gems did you buy? I have heard there is some type of cap per hour or so that you can buy.

They addressed this like a month ago. They don’t have the means to change the LFG at the moment to be 10 man capable. They don’t want to put resources into developing raid LFG when it could only do 5 man because it wouldn’t be able to function properly as really you need 10 man capability.

I tend to disagree but that is their reasoning.

Idk what it is currently but there have been many changes to scaling over the past few months. I doubt it is that low.

Sometimes changing characters helps. But if you are already at 45 mins it probably won’t.
Changing characters while having you LFG post up actually makes it stay up longer. I know that is a silly solution tho. Also putting up the same exact message in the LFG over and over triggers the suppression faster. If you change it up a bit that helps.

But yes these solutions are silly and this should work better than it currently does.
