Guild Wars 2

That’s because mastery exp can’t come from crafting.

It’s a known bug and seems there won’t be a fix for it. At least not anytime soon. You can contact support with a ticket if you post when you used it so they can check and refund it for you.

Maybe dumb question but why not here on official forum? I am sure you wait for that question.

Larger audience on Reddit.

Source?

Both people who have the game and do not have the game have access to Reddit, only those who have the game have access to here. That is, by definition, a larger audience.

People who don’t own the game can read this forum as well as that one. They simply can’t post on this forum if they don’t own.

Which is probably a good thing. Feedback from non players really holds no merit. Of course there’s no way to tell on Reddit.

I really wish this game had more lore surrounding professions. Its a shame really.

Yeah Moa can’t jump.

You might struggle finding it if you are searching for Heart of Thrones. Just saying……

Daraku.5389:

so since my ISP just told me that “everything is fine with my connection” I would really like to have this resolved

What? Of course your ISP is going to say that. It’s not your ISP that is at fault here it is a at the hop that I already discussed. I’m not sure where the confusion is here.

But if the game was having issues you would see more packet loss at Anet on ping plotter. Furthermore everyone would have the same issues you are having. One person having issues and another person not having issues on the same IP means it is not the servers fault.

Using portal works there. It made this very easy for me. Just saying

Actually it is very different from the original game. Yes, you have to do events and map clearing to get to the next story in the original game, but you get to choose which events to do. In HoT because of mastery points, you don’t just level as usual but have to do specific often tedious tasks to get the points. I don’t know why experience wasn’t enough to satisfy the mastery bar demands. The mastery points are a real turnoff and an inhibitor to player freedom.

OP was referring to the story and mastery you need for that. Getting points for just that isn’t an issue.

I want to fly in a giant bubble, like Glinda from The Wizard of Oz. The bubble could pop upon landing.

Darn you! I just had this idea this morning! So I’ll +1 you instead.

It came to me as I was thinking of ways to revamp the new Electro glider and thought making it a sphere surrounding the person might look nifty.

At which point I realized a Glinda bubble would have a lot of potential thanks to ANet’s ability to add rainbow shimmers and ambient light reflections. They already have a Tempest water bubble to ride around on, so that animation could work either atop or within the bubble (unless they have to keep the gliding pose for airborne people, which might look odd inside a bubble but hey, it’ll still be an awesome glider).

That’s a pretty interesting and clever idea. I’d buy that :-)

Your specific character you are currently playing needs to be on that story step for the port to work.

I’m having ridiculous ping tonight, over 1000. I downloaded a program called pingplotter and the problem seems to be with an NCSOFT ip at 65.25.32.82.ncsoft.com. I have no idea if there’s anything I can do on my end to remedy this except bring it to the attention of anet so here I am. Hopefully this is resolved quickly as it is making playing impossible.

You need to post screenshots. First you need to show your game is using that ip. So in game type /ip and post a screen shot. Then type that ip in ping plotter.

I tested that ip and it is showing 100% packet loss. I doubt that server is actually running. Where did you get that ip from?

Pets are so much better in outside.

I tamed a juvenile lion. Some people joke in gw2 how pets do all the work but really I didn’t have to do anything and my pet lion won in all my pvp fights.

Make a ticket. If it takes more than 72 hours for a response post in the sticky

PL means packet loss. It’s red on the left. You have a lot of packet loss on 2 then again on 6. You can see on 6 Frankfurt level 3 you are getting a lot of latency with packet loss. Anet is giving you like .3% PL which is probably due to the latency issues. But regardless .3% is not noticeable

Your problem is more along the lines of amount of time per day you can play. If you add your time up for the week it’s 3.5 hours. That is more than enough time to get through 1 raid wing. The problem is 30 mins is a short time to practice then clear one segment of a raid. It’s possible if you have a good guild group but not that feasible. So your example about comparing 1000 hours for 3 months versus 3 years isn’t really pointing to the issue you personally have with being limited daily in the amount of play time and how things like raids require a larger chunk of time than 30 mins to be feasible.

So 30 minutes per day is not realistic for a legendary armor, thus will NEVER get it wether I play 1000 hours or 1 million hours. On the other hand I can make 5 gold in that 1/2 hour. 1000 hours will get me 10k gold (2-3 legendy weapons) (except it will take me years instead of months)

Well as the other poster alluded to, I would just try to find happiness in what you have. You have a family which is much more precious than legendary armor. I would focus more on that than worry over prestigious skins.

But yes it would be hard to earn legendary armor playing 30 mins a day. It’s not necessarily impossible; just very hard and most unlikely. I’ve ran several pug runs already where I cleared a boss in 10 mins. A good guild group can easily clear one boss in 30 mins but you would have to work hard to find one that ran short runs that coincided with your schedule.

1000 hours over 3 months and 1000 hours over 3 years. Don’t you think both would have access to the 1000 hour prestige rewards?

Yes. But you have to play more than 30 mins a day to get those numbers. If you play an hour a day you get close to those numbers. Realistically if you raid an hour a day I would expect you to be able to get at least a set of legedary armor after 3 years (1,095 days approximately an hour a day)

We need a way to save sigils but it seems it will never happen :-/

I think it’s fair to be honest. There is a way to obtain legendary weapons if you are very casual. However that isn’t fair to people who ibvest more time into this game and develop more skill than a casual person was little distinction between the two. Now there is an option for more prestigious skins as they are gated behind more skilled content such as raids. But there is still an option to obtain legendary skins in terms of weapons for less skilled players. And of course a causal player can easily make full ascended as well. Mostly a casual player is locked out of legendary armor and back piece. Neither of these have any actual impact on game play. They are just inherently more prestigious and send a message that the player who obtains them are skilled in a certain area of the game. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. If Anet makes them more casual friendly then they will be much less meaningful. But again try are only a skin and only meaningful in terms of prestige and nothing more.

So long story short … I understand where you are coming from but the choice to add prestigious skins based on players area of skill was a good move. Of course that leaves some people out like OP which is unfortunate. But it’s Only skins.

Let me guess you are on EU servers?

Regardless if you want answers download and run ping plotter. It is free. Put ncsoft.com in the search if you are on NA. If you are on EU use this IP: 206.127.159.199

Post results.

Krinstin.6287:

Started happening to me too yesterday in TD, i thought it was just caused by too many effects, but even after the meta ended and i tried several other maps on different servers i could not see any difference in my fps or lags. Now i cant even play properly, please fix this, i love playing this game, buying all the things in gemstore. Many players would hate having to quit the game now.

Mods this is another example of why we need a sticky about this.

Here you go guys. No problems with Anet servers. I have latency issues from the US when hitting tellianet. But no problems with the actual Anet servers.

I’m seeing a latency issue with telenet. I take it you are on the EU tho. So I expect to have latency issues since I’m in the US. But no issues when I hit Anet servers. I put in the ip you posted in the screen shot.

Long story short. If you want results run ping plotter with the IP address you are in. Post results here. Otherwise you won’t get anywhere.

We need more threads like this. Best thread of the month.

Nope. At least last I heard it was a negatory

You can’t copy text from the game. You have to type it out. You could have the person get in TS and then have them copy paste it. I’m sure if they know already upfron they need to copy paste the api in team speak they won’t join if they do not meet the requirements. It would be a awkward/ a pain of someone joined the TS, pasted, and didn’t meet the requirements but I highly doubt that would happen with any consistency.

When comparing Spirit Vale to other raids you’ve played in other games, how does it stack up in terms of the following:

Difficulty
1 To. 5
Much worse much better

This is probably the worst question. Is difficulty a good thing or a bad thing? That will determine how you answer this question. If you like challenging content ten it’s a good thing. If you thought raids were too easy then you would rate this low. If you think difficulty is a bad thing because you like to play casual games, if you think it’s too hard you’ll put much worse. So this data is not going to be accurate. A few questions were like this but this one was the worst.

I think there were more colors datamined. They just haven’t gotten around to implementing

People still have tribal armor/destroyer scythe or other previous pvp armor. Removing it would mean they couldn’t change the skin or lose it forever.

You are at the weapon smith station right?

You set it to auto. Control click skill

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Auto-attack

You need 400 weapon smith for gift of metal. Your character probably only has armor smith.

It’s pretty much how MMOs go. If it isn’t skins then its BiS gear treadmill. Personally I prefer skins to that because I feel behind if I don’t get the BiS stuff fast enough. There’s also titles for achievements. But mostly if you play to just get skins then you are not going to find much satisfaction in playing.

They don’t give a warning for all items that are leaving They only do that like half the time.

The amount of damage you do, does not change the type of loot you get. If you don’t do enough damage then you end up getting nothing. That is the only problem.

ifelldown.5426:

Now I’m not even gaining XP since there’s no way to progress. Mastery mpoints won’t move and no awards are given. Because of that I can’t get my XP to accumulate anymore since I can’t utilize it. I can gain no hero points (mastery points) and no XP now. My progression is completely stopped.
I can still gain WvW levels though, but those don’t impact any of this.

You should read the link I posted. You are confused.

1) Hero points unlock specilazations and skills. They are different from mastery points.
2) Mastery points come from achievements. Not XP.
3) XP goes toward a mastery track. The track and mastery progress once the bar is full and you spend the mastery points that you have earned though achievements.

OP sounds like a latency issue you have in the evening. Run ping plotter it’s better than the trace you are doing.

Khisanth.2948:

I usually have PingPlotter running when the connection is acting up. With network problems someone else having or not having a similar issue isn’t all that helpful for pinpointing your own problem.

Yeah this is sort of true. However if Anet is having connection problems everyone would see packet loss there. So it’s reasonable to say you can use ping plotter to determine if it’s server side issues or not for another player.

As you can see in mine level 3 is having issues right now. But Anet is not.

It’s probably level 3. Run a ping plotter (free download) and post picture here if you like. I’ll try to check back on it tho in sure if you don’t know how to read it someone else can as well.

I think it’s going to be like snorelax. There is going to be a huge break bar you have to get through quickly or it goes to sleep and it regains all health.

But watch out for hyper beam.

Yeah but it has always worked like this. After first blue circle attack the wall goes up.

If you had a group of friends or formed friendships with people that do raids, this wouldn’t be a problem. In a group that really knows what they are doing, I’m sure a vanilla ranger wouldn’t be an issue. But your responses here indicate your personality is a bit abrasive. So in a MMO you are going to have problem like this if you can’t get along with people. My suggestion is try out other classes, find a guild or group of friends interested in raiding. You don’t even have to be good when starting out. My suggestion to try other classes or even Druid itself is because, yes you will have a hard time proving to people vanilla ranger is worth taking. But if you develop some trust with a group of people in sure they would give it a chance. The key is developing that trust first.

I’m not sure then sorry. I have used an Xbox one controller and padded before in Windows 10 but didn’t need anything other programs with it. I had to use motionjoy with it, before when I had a PS3 controller. Maybe it’s that ther program you are using.

For me it actually appeared after I transmuted my wings back to my other back piece (I didn’t relog, I was raiding) . I’m remembering it better now that I think of it. So not really even a minor issue. I think they should put resources into since there’s a lot larger issues to fix. But that’s just me.

I don’t really think it’s something that needs resources put into it though. It should be a very very simple check as to why it’s not behaving like the other glider skins. Most likely they would just need to copy a bit of code from the hawk wings, since aside from the texture they’re identical.

This actually happened for me with the hawk wings sorry I failed to mention that. But figured it was the same sort of thing. So who knows, oh well lol

You’ll need to open a ticket with support for a direct response. You can do that by clicking the link above. If you do more testing and figure out that aggroing the mobs is definitely the trigger for the bug I would let them know that as well. This does seem like a strange bug and I haven’t heard anything like this before.

They should really add an achievement for reaching the daily 15k cap. This would prevent so much confusion on it.

I’m like 90% sure the same thing happened to me. When I switched characters the icon was there. It was not there initially. Just try clicking around/ switching character/ changing back pieces etc

Intended wasn’t the right word. It’s more of a thing that just happens but is not a huge deal and fixed itself as soon as you’d actually need to be able to select it.
