Guild Wars 2

In short, he is useless. I hope he turns in HoT so i can finally kill him… ONE DAY!

Would also like to know this

I personally hate Traeharne, i can’t stand him. My ultimate dream would be to be the person to finish him off – for good.

I cant really remember when this was, but if i remember correctly it was during a closed stress test or something before the actual release of the game. And i think i just picked a server quickly since it was not a long test and if i remember correctly this was on Vabbi.

It is very long ago, can’t even recall if NDA was lifted back then. But it was a fun moment, lots of wvwvw golem zerging with some official GMs leading/helping!

Correct me if i’m wrong please, the scrolls of knowledges we got will become spirit shards and we got to have “atleast” 65 skill point challenges completed in the world to reach the maximum hero points available?

Thanks in advance

If i buy street fighter IV and they say street fighter 3 free with purchase.

then i dont want them to take away the street fighter 3 just because i already bought it 3 years ago.

a free copy of gw2 core has value, i can give it away, i can use it as a mule account, i can get more daily limited resources. There is no logical reason, if it is really free with purchase, that older players do not get a code.

but they dont, because the package treats customers differently but charges them the same thing.

So its really not veteran entitlement, its veterans not wanting to be screwed just because they are veterans

^This guy right here.

I second THIS + upvote.

This is exactly how i feel.

the loss of the ‘free’ core game when you upgrade is a little unfair, but mostly it’s the fact that there’s so much Anet could’ve done to prevent this, even just little things, and they didn’t.

it’s not so much that we’re owed something, it’s more that the Anet want to keep customers, it’s better to treat them with at least a little respect, and it feels like they’re not right now.

No, this is the argument given “ive been playing since launch i should get something since new players are getting the core game for free”. That is entitlement and they dont owe you anything. You have gotten plenty for just logging in for the past 3 years.

Some of the Vets havent shown a shred of respect or even thought about what they are saying, they just want free stuff because im a vet.

Im on the side that you should never tell someone to leave if they dont like it because its bad for any type of business, but in this case, if you dont like that your not getting free stuff dont let the door hit you on the way out. The community would be SO much better.

I’m not asking for free stuff ‘cos I’m a vet.

I just want what everyone else is getting.

You are, your getting the expansion. You already have the core game.

I think you dont understand what is saying here.

A newcomer pays 45 euros for the standard edition, for free they get the core game that is included in that package.

A veteran pays also 45 euros and only get the expansion for the same amount of price but for less and not the core game.

That is the thing, no matter if you have 1-20 accounts, the core game is included in that package and right now we are not getting what we pay for because of that.

Currently it is if me and my friend would enter a fast food restaurant and i have a bottle of water with me from our walk.
We pick the same kind of dish and that includes a soda for free together with the food and is costing us totally 15 euros each.

But in this case it’s like the cashier tells me that i wont get the soda because i got a bottle of water with me. But i still got to pay the full price, i wont get a discount for it since they leave out something that SAYS is in the menu and they wont give me a soda since i got a bottle of water already

Hopefully this helps.

In fact what they DID say is “The base game will be required to play the expansion.”

The implication was that there was no reason to wait to buy.

Honestly, I don’t have a great amount of Leeway to complain about the pricing because I got it on sale for $20 and have been playing for nearly a year. Not a bad value, honestly.

You on the other hand, you were literally lied to and ripped off if you believed that line in the FAQ and bought the game within the last couple of months.

I actually remember seeing that part you quoted and I was like “cool! So i’ll get to understand the game a bit before the expansion”.

Well I do understand now….
I Understand that i’ve wasted my time and money if they really do nothing to fix this

You are in the same boat as us Veterans now, we got to pay for the game again to get the expansion. No other way!

On the bright side, 45 euros is not that bad considered that we don’t got to pay monthly

Thing is here.. If I buy Witcher 3 and get 1st and 2nd witcher games for free, I would not mind too. If I was new to guild wars 2 and are going to buy it now and get the core game and the expansion for 45 euros I would not mind too since that’s is a very fair deal!

But for that same 45 euros as a veteran player I only get the expansion. No extra serial code for the core game to give to a friend, just paying the same for less.

I think that’s one of the issues, we got to pay for something that we partly do not get, that’s why people want an expansion upgrade only, for the cheaper price then the core game and expansion together.

This is how it is now

New comers – 45 euros = core game and expansion
Veterans – 45 euros = expansion

If we got two serial codes then I would not really bother, or a 10 euros cheaper. Or a character slot instead
instead.

They have said this and that there won’t be another upgrade option then what it is right now.

But I would not game minded to get two serials, one to give to a friend and one for the expansion.

I got hinted by GM ImaginaryPixel in a support email to post this issue on the forum, i hope i have chosen the correct sub-forum for this particular issue. Will copy paste what i wrote in the ticket.

Hello!

I have had the Endless Mordrem Husk Tonic since it got released, and i have been slightly bugged off about it due to two reasons i’ve noticed which i will write below.

• 1. A mordrem husk seems to be bigger then a normal nightmare husk. The endless mordrem husk tonic transforms us into a very small husk, its the average size of a normal sized human which i find very poor. Compared to the overgrown tonic (a nightmare husk) the endless mordrem husk tonic is as tall as the nightmare husks chest if not just it legs.

• 2. When you using the tonic the camera is suddenly very highly placed above the husk. Instead of a normal tonic that would not have different camera settings when used. For me when i’m using this item its like my camera changes completely.

Will prove some screenshots that will show the problem as an example.

1 http://oi57.tinypic.com/2w4b2fs.jpg
(Here i just got my asura in a very comfortable camera angle and settings, how i like to play it while just strolling around)

2 http://oi60.tinypic.com/wlasyc.jpg
(i’m using a normal tonic, i pick the Overgrown Tonic since i like husks. Camera has not changed, still in same positon, all good)

3 http://oi59.tinypic.com/w69p3.jpg
(i’m using the Candy Corn Tonic, since its a costume brawl tonic like the Endless Mordrem Husk Tonic. Camera has still not changed, it behaves perfectly.)

4 http://oi59.tinypic.com/35b8qqg.jpg
(Now suddenly something has happend. This is how it looks for me using the tonic, no matter how i turn the camera or so it just wont behave “good” or as good as the other tonics i showed. You can possible also notice how small it is compared to the nightmare husk size and i find the husks in Silverwastes bigger then the nightmare husks.)

Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this? If it is a bug is there any chance that the kind soul who looks into this can pass this over to “the team” who works with this?

I know this is not a major problem, considering HoM bug or the revenant armor skins that some stress testers has gotten – not to mention the expansion itself. But i would be very pleased with this being looked into!

Thanks!

PS: The pictures i attach below are exaxtly the ones i attach above, just in-case people prefer to have it that way. If so the text for each picture is listed as numbers above, so 1-4 top to bottom.

Was good april fools day. In short it was just about massive QQ about people being offended, but also great joy for being an airplane.

When I logged in tonight, I first smiled. April 1st… However, my smile froze rapidly.

I don’t know why you guys are laughing but this is NOT FUNNY. Somewhere out there is a guy with his face FROZEN SOLID.

How about instead of joking around we get this guy some help??

You sir, made my day

We need a husk tonic that you can use in combat and dps with. And husks need to be able to jump.

We are husks, we won’t be watching – since we got no faces.

I play as an asura, I run around in a circle shouting “vrooooom”. It’s brilliant, if it’s poorly made or anything I don’t care about, better then nothing and it will only last a day

Maybe Tequatl tried out the first person camera and flew wrong way due to not turning off camera shakes. He will be back soon.

Thanks for the replies!

I will browse through the build thread to see if i find something that looks interesting/fun.

I’m having an awesome time on mesmer in dungeons if i can keep 2x or 3x iSwordsmen up that crit for 7-8k each jump in after one another.

Will also keep in mind to summon Frifox if i need some mesmer “guru” to assist me on my path to master mesmer.

Cheers (:

Hellu, i’m new to this forum section. This topic is related to mesmer in dungeons

I have been playing mesmer for about two weeks, i will not claim i’m the best or the worst. But after been doing some dungeons i have a few questions.

I’ve browsed the forums and i found some related topics about my concern but i got a few questions still.

Might be noob questions but maybe some can answer them for me.

1# Feedback – i know that a WoR works that if a projectile hits it, it gets reflected back to the caster. Since Feedback is a dome and not a wall i wonder, does it matter if the caster who is doing the projectiles is inside of the feedback or outside. Outside as in the feedback being between the caster itself and the group of players. If a difference, please tell.

2# Phantasmals – I have a hard time to keep my phantasmals to stay alive, if i use the iWarden he just stays there, spinning like a disco on a friday night just to get roflstomped by one aoe attack after 2 seconds. I find swordsmen to survive easier, and duelists to survive easiest.

How do fellow mesmers keep the phantasmals alive if there is any chance?

I can add that some bosses i can keep three up most of the time but then i usually go for 2x iSwordsmen and 1x iDuelist or the other way around depending on how much aoe the bosses do.

I prefer pistol over focus, would this be a dps loss/bad move?

3# Reflections – I have read this topic ( https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Guide-Where-and-When-to-Reflect/first#post2941183 ) and first of all it helps a bit. But how up to date is it?

I have done a few up paths in TA lately and i’ve used feedback on the first spider and 2nd spider but nothing happens – no reflect what so ever. Is it fixed or do i do something wrong? The feeling of popping a feedback on something that dont reflect just makes me feel… i guess most of you know.

4# Builds I’m currently running the meta 6/4/0/0/4 ( http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Mesmer_-_S/S_/F_/P ) Running with Mantra of Resolve – Signet of Inspiration (to share my boons, if my group cant provide with enough boons i swap this out for Mantra of Concentration) – Feedback (if no reflect or high condi i swap this out for null field) – Time Warp and Signet of the Ether. Can play with stealth when the situation calls for it and such but its not in my main setup like what i just mentioned.

Would a build like this be viable ? Or “usefull/effective” or would bosses still nuke the phantasmals? http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQRAsd8cnsISRaWgGeoB1aIR1QO7zhosbaSFocdA-e

(running exotic assassin gear and weapons, zerker accessories, ranger runes, force and night sigils)

If the bosses would still nuke the phantasmals within 10 seconds or so a “no” is enough to answer this or if i would lose way to much of my personal dps.

And last question

5# Why is shatter mesmer not popular in PvE? Mind Wrack do high damage with 25 stacks of might and (me at least, cant keep them alive long enough to feel i use its fully potential) it would not matter if they die or not if you can summon three fast then mind wrack or any other shatter.

I do apologise for wall of text, but some answers would be welcome. I added some numbers on the questions if that will make it easier/faster/smoother to reply.

(Since good mesmers don’t run condition crap),

Good players play however they want and strive to success and have fun.

This i agree with 100%

I tried the meta, it’s strong but i just dont enjoy it and having as much fun as i do on build i tailoring for my own playstyle, on other classes i can run meta and enjoy it and vice versa on some.

I made two sylvaris after i knew their secret to be allied with Mordremoth. I might be corrupted…

CureForLiving.5360:

ANet needs to add afk to the report function.

Lol.

What a community we have. So pressed that we’re willing to attempt to get someone banned from a video game for not playing the video game.

If i’m not mistaken you can report someone in SWTOR for suiciding. That’s a bit more sad then adding a function to report someone to afk so the opposite team can fight club the win.

But i would not mind having a report button for that too, it is ruining for everyone else. Sure if the score is 20-430 to the other team then i dont mind people camping base for the rest of the game.

Or if we have a 5v4 or 5v3 or less its pretty much a gg too unless you can turn it around with 4 people against 5 (is possible) but would understand why someone would afk in that situation.

But having someone afking at the very beginning of a game or just complete randomly if we lost a main fight it does not have to mean that its a gg already. Afking in such matter will just then make the possibility to lose a reality and ruin the game for 4 other people imo

So why would i get punished if i play with some friends that suddenly dcs and have to authorize network due to some issues with their isp that takes longer then the grace period?

DCs happens from time to time, but why punish the entire party for one person who cant do much about dcing?

If you and me lived in the same house, i then suddenly decide to scam people on money, the police finds out and comes to get me, you have no idea about this, you were never involved in this – but you get sent to jail as well. Do you think that is a fair act?

Does this encourage me to not play with friends? Do you think this is fair Justin?

“GW2 is rewarding to play with other people, unless you go spvp with your friends and they dc then your entire team is the bandits in this drama” thats how it is now.

Now i questioned my 6 year old cousin, he said “not fair” – i do agree.

A yes or no will be enough to answer the question; Do you think it is fair?

Is a very easy solution to all these problems, just remove chat entierly in pvp, disable whispers.

Fixed.

All i’m doing at the start of the game is to read who goes close/far/mid. Then i select my combat log and never reads the qq chat for the rest of the game.

You cant always win, you lose you win. I accept that.

Or let us join hotjoin games at least to keep us busy with something while waiting apart from jumping around in the mist all the time.

When i ran like a boss to the signal fire i thought i would be killing everyone down below as a sacrifice. But no.

Your location: Sweden
Time and date of incident (plus time zone): For the last two months – 16:00-22:10 (GMT +1)
Game World: Far Shiverpeaks
ISP: Comhem
Brief description of what you’re seeing: Skill lag/unplayable, everything else works fine apart from Guild Wars 2. Nothing wrong with my ISP or at my end or my entire internet would be behaving bad.

Tried the “fix” that was posted earlier on this page, did not work. Still cant log in, and if i do, it takes 10 minutes then i get in and run around, then i see people starting to “stray” away into walls and other places and thinks “oh no, not again” – use a skill – skill does not execute – pops a beer – raises bottle to screen and says “good going arena net, thanks” – crashes.

Location: Sweden
Time: 18:00 (GMT +1)
Problem: Skill lag / unplayable

Ran perfectly earlier today, and around evening it gets unplayable. I cant even eat a mango pie without crash.

Skill lag, cant do anything as you can see.

And then……

http://oi62.tinypic.com/dzhtm0.jpg

Surprise!

Location: Sweden
Time and date: Some days after 3-4pm GMT+1
Game World: Far Shiverpeaks
Description: High latency/skilllag/dc to character selections.

Getting about a 3-30 seconds delay on everything, having no fps lag at all but cant use any skills then if i’m in combat i’ll suddenly get teleported away from where im running to on my screen to the place i died. Then the game can behave acceptable for 10 seconds then it continues again behaving bad and it all ends up with being disconnected.

I only get this problem in Guild Wars 2, everything else works perfect. Been playing this game since beta and i never had anything like this untill recently – no changes made. It just happend after last patch most likely.

Husks. Yes, they are husks.

The devs are probably working on that Husk Minipet that i requested a month ago here!

We need husk minipet!

Add a Husk Minipet, its usefull.

So we are going up against the Elder Jungle Dragon, seeing husks around. Those beautiful faces… When will we be able to get our own Mini Husk?

We need it.

I always keep quiet in spvp. Some people can be so easily provoked and think they designed the maps to be played one way, can be enough if u say “i cap far then i run mid and help” and biggest flame war can start and u end up being blocked for no particular reasons.

Best way to pvp = enjoy it, dont take it too serious.

I do like this, and i’ve done it twice now on two characters within a month.

I use a scroll to bring myself up to level 20 – complete queensdale map 100% and then i tag along for the champ train for some time. When i’m bored i go wvwvw and i use all exp boosters and try to tag as many veterans and the keep/tower lords asap before they die since they give a lot of exp. Bored with that i go crafting or back to champ farm.

when i feel that my money can allow me to craft i go for it (cooking being most cheap, about 5g if u follow the gw2craft guides).

Then relog when boss is almost dead in dungeons for 80%ish of a level. On my last character my playtime was just a bit over 20h when i got 80.

Yeh, superior sigil of force is about 7g and the upgrade extractor is at this moment when i write 23g 20s so not really usefull tbh in my case.

Bit sad, guess it end up in the mystic forge then maybe and hope i make a profit out of it.

Hellu

Is there a way to get your sigils back from a karma weapon or wvwvw weapon? Before the patch this was possible by using a transmutating stone to be able to salvage the item – get back your sigil or rune and use on your newely crafted ascended weapon/armor (or w/e) for example.

But after the 15th april this seems to be impossible, since you can now only change the skins on your weapon no matter what stats it got.

In short, does it mean that i’m stuck with for example superior sigil of force on my weapon that i bartered in wvwvw and have to buy a new one for my ascended weapons that i’ll craft soonish?

So the only thing i can do with it is to destroy it or mystic forge it if i’m not going to use it anymore?

Answers would be appreciated! (:

Any idea when it goes live? So far i’ve not seen or heard anything about what time the patch is.

Ruins of Surmia contested now

Currently bugged on Far Shiverpeaks, Gandara, Ruins of Surmia

Just asking since i cant find out myself, what is the command to follow their dance steps once you have been invited? if i do /dance i just starts to dance my mad charr dance.

Aye it is a terrible bug, if you are in a dungeon and pop vengeance to kill something and you die – fast respawn to get back in a hurry to the fight and you die again because it has not expired, it is both time and money consuming. A fix is really needed for it.

Trying it out as well, thanks (:

Let me then put it like this, why you go glasscanon? Stack toughness and vitality and power then, trait for survivabillity with some dps.

A warrior in 100% full dps have about 18k hp, less then 1k toughness, one healing, endure pain/no regeneration/no protection/no 4-8 times evades/no stealths/no blindness.

Soloed it as a warrior
