Firstly; I noticed you were running a four man team in a dungeon that reccommends 5.
Secondly; The path you went on was recently changed because of the lack of challenge from the previous design of the final boss. I will admit the first time I tried the new design, it was frustrating without someone knowing how to run the path.
After learning how the final boss works, the path is once again fun but also more challenging/rewarding. It does take teamwork (as all dungeons should) and communication is key.
Good luck on future endeavors.
PS. I do agree that a party system in major towns is greatly needed. At the current state spamming a line or going to a 3rd party site is a hastle and exposes risks to players. I had read a new system was in development but no further details were provided. Hopefully this is still being addressed to solve a major grouping issue.
I wanted to suggest a storyline addition that would allow you to earn respect amongst the orders that you did chose. The idea of creating another character just to unlock an orders Weapons and Armor seems pointless. Below are my ideas behind my suggestion.
In order to work for another order you must have pre-requisites
Complete the game
Have a minimum of 50% of the map completed. (I recommend this because the order missions would require traveling to various areas)
Be Level 80
How this benefits the individual player, story, and world environment
Allows the player to experience the ways of the different orders and unlock the achievement which appears on their initial character selection page.
Gives the player the opportunity to use various order equipment
Evolves the story and expands the games content
Allows players to experience the maps in different ways and encourages exploration
Enable a timer that starts once the final boss is vanquished (I.E; 2 mins). This gives everyone enough time to get the chest their loot and accept their reward before leaving the dungeon to run another path etc. After the allotted time is up, you are automatically teleported to the entrance.
Being able to access your friends list, and guild chat via web-browser, was an implementation that ArenaNet had discussed to incorporate into Guild Wars as an external feature. I wanted to see if there was still a timeline for this, or if this plan has been “stalemated” or discarded all together. Regardless this idea was an excellent one and I hope to see this brought back to the table. (Slow days at work would equal chatting with guildies :D)
Organizing Events
Another mentioned feature is the online Guild Calendar which the Leader/Officers can organize and broadcast events. This feature would improve Guild Communities and create versatility in how events are ran/planned.
Issue
The Gem store will not allow me to “Confirm” or “Proceed to Paypal” to purchase gems on the game. The last button to send the payment or proceed to paypal is greyed out.
Attempt to get resolution
I tried the “tabbing” method and also tried each gem set to purchase. None which worked. After frustrating attempts to get answered from support, I was finally told this is a known issue and when a resolution’s available it would be posted on the website; also they recommended to go to a store and buy gem cards… So the answer for me remains unanswered.
Conclusion
I would hope to see this issues pushed up the ranks at ArenaNet so others and myself can purchase gems again. With Wintersday right around the corner, not being able to purchase gems will be a real downer for me. How can I be festive! Having the NCsoft site set up to issue Gems would be secondary option however, this feature is not available. I also want to add that having different support members on every answer is not efficient and creates confusion to both parties.
All of the bots I’ve seen are only there for Karma and event rewards (coin there). I have NOT seen a single bot (20 reported or so) that loots. I don’t know that any have applied looting yet; so no, bots aren’t affecting TP in any way.
Opinion
In before lock
Actually they can set autoloot, and have their “f” key or whichever to pick up all loot. You can test this by going to rata sum and buying the fireworks in the lower chamber (30c or around) and drop them near bots. Many of them will pick it up and then shoot fireworks instead of farm. It’s pretty funny to watch, and there is no expiration on the firework bomb.
I briefly skimmed through but didn’t see anything about the issue with harvesting nodes.
Anyways,
When watching another player harvest, they harvest with a mining pick (when gathering herbs, cutting wood etc) even though on their personal screen it shows the correct animation.
Also in Divinitys Reach the Guild Weaponsmith and Armorsmith have their names mixed up. Kailey and Jeron
