Guild Wars 2

mtpelion.4562:

Besides their use in the leveling process for your Guild Hall, they are also used for crafting all of the Chinese New Year items that rely on https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Red_Lantern_ as their base.

Ohh! Thank you.

Last question on my part: Does the Magical Enrichment infusion for amulets still work once you have reached the maximum? Meaning, giving you a total of +336% Luck?

Dear developers,

GW used to have mature dialogue. Still filled with humor, but not sounding particularly childish. Since LWS2, dialogue has become more and more “childish”, using modern day tongue-in-cheek teen language. It no longer sounds like the classy fantasy theme this game once was but more and more like a reality tv show.

One of the reasons Canach is so popular is because his voice actor refuses to read dialogue that way (with all it’s cheeky contractions etc.) but keeps pronouncing it like a Shakespearean actor. It makes people take him more seriously, respect him and his dark humor instead of looking upon him like he was a clown.

There really needs to be change in the way dialogue is written. I can’t take the Commander nor most of the adult NPCs seriously anymore when they talk like 2017 American teens. (Even Ogden Stonehealer, a very old and renowned character, is occasionally talking like that.)

Please? This is not a game made for kids only but for everyone, and adult characters should act and talk accordingly. Also, this is not our modern day world, and I don’t want to get the feeling that it is, because if I wanted that, I wouldn’t be playing GW.

I am sick and tired of losing Ranked matches due to players AFKing at spawn or abandoning a match! The punishment is not severe enough, or it wouldn’t happen every second or third match. When are you finally going to do something about it, ArenaNet???

There has to be a more severe punishment that will affect those players and make them think twice before going AFK or abandoning the match.

You need to perma-ban those players when they have been reported, let’s say, three times. Or ban them for six months if not permanently. Or apply a bigger cooldown the more often they have been reported for AFKing (and you have checked those were accurate reports). ANYTHING than the current status quo. I’ll never get anywhere in Ranked on European servers if this doesn’t change. Been enduring it for too long already!

I just realized this was a known bug that hasn’t been fixed yet:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Buried_Insight

This HoT mission is currently bugged. I can’t proceed. Taimi just won’t move (see screenshot). She will shrug every now and then, and that’s it.

I’ve already cleared the complete instance of any traps and enemies, walked all the way to the control center, came back and waited by her side — to no avail.

Please fix ASAP.

And the same thing as in my OP happened again — any estimated time of fixing this skill? Or has it completely been abandoned, dear devs?

RandomWolf.3986:

I don’t get how you people aren’t noticing the smirk? It’s quite obvious and noticeable! I tried it on all of my human females and got the same results. Compare it yourself here:

http://i.imgur.com/DNveXlV.jpg

I agree, but it’s more subtle than your OP makes it sound.

Maybe Anet thinks women always walk around smiling and flirting, just like they believe women enjoy heading out for adventure fancily (and often scantily) dressed and wearing high heels — makes sense (not).

And the dot as well. —> https://support.guildwars2.com

Sipiyu.4580:

Dailies just ticked over, still bugged

Yes, it never resets by itself on server reset. A dev must reset it manually or a new map instance must be opened.

This has been going on for too long, a couple of weeks already. It’s about time someone permanently fixes this event.

Just because it’s a shout doesn’t mean it must have the exact same mechanic as other shouts. It’s clearly a flee-the-scene skill and thus should be treated as such. It makes no sense to result in you being slowed down and thus trapped at the scene (and likely killed).

I don’t recommend disabling all non-M$ startup programs and services, as many may be of high importance to your system (like fan control to prevent your GPU from getting fried, anti-virus protection etc.).

I reported this about a year ago, I think, and it still hasn’t been fixed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm47gfC1Ksk

Probably not a priority, since it isn’t game-breaking. But still somewhat funny, just like this comedic gem.

P.S. There is also a bug with the four Champions guarding the entrance to the cave. They would turn friendly quickly — now it takes quite a while and can be a death trap for newbies as they pretty much instantly overwhelm you, unless you keep your distance. However, you have to attack them for the change from hostile into friendly to trigger, so a longbow is recommended.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Have you tried a -repair of the client, or clearing the GW2 cache?

That doesn’t help. I have encountered this bug a million times already myself. Most times, it happens when you select switch character, then decide to select the same char as before. But not all of the time. Or when you enter the character menu after launching the game, then select a character very quickly. The error is definitely connected to character select/switch.

mtpelion.4562:

Guild Hall Crafting.

Okay, this is the second time in 24 hours that someone posts something about guilds/guild halls that confuses me.

No one ever explained those things to me, so I am curious:

• How can Luck be used for GH crafting?? (I crafted a lot already and have not stunbled across any such mechanic.)
• How can Tomes of Knowledge be used for the benefit of guilds? (Someone posted this last night, but didn’t respond to my question.)

Silvatar.5379:

I am confused as to what the problem is.

The OP explained the problem they have pretty well. Why does it confuse you?

They stated clearly that they are having an issue with party members being able to merge their group with another one, even though one group’s description says “exp only”, the other one’s doesn’t, which leads to newbies being bullied when they don’t live up to expectations.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

The Asura weren’t around in Prophesies, Factions, Nightfall, but after being chased to the surface in EotN, and then influencing the above-ground population, the result, 250 years later, is what we see now.

Have you watched the original, pre-release trailers from 2009? Like this one, for instance? The original concept for GW2’s Rata Sum looked a lot more like GW1 (i.e., “classic” design) than the current, clean, high-tech look it has. Especially since Asura come from below the surface, their city designs do require a less modern, less clean design, which said original version had.

Carighan.6758:

So, rather have a good art-design than a classic one.

But they don’t have that, either!

Have you looked at recent content, legendary weapons, armor and new WvW gear in particular? Plain awful!

P.S. Since Braham is certainly going to get Taimi killed in the next episode, there is at least hope for the magitech part to tone down.

Amaimon.7823:

While it’s a good idea generally, I doubt it would be useful because anet doesn’t really have the time and resources to remake content. Especially if content is considered bad, they can’t just rewrite a story-chapter or event after the next down-the-line story or event has occured

The point isn’t to re-write already published content but to learn from the feedback in order to make better future content.

Is there a way to remove unleveled crafting professions from a character, so they won’t display anymore?

Thank you, Healix!

MashMash.1645:

In addition, and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or intentional, some people can no longer harvest the orchid nodes on multiple characters.

Yes, noticed that as well. It’s really a mess as it is.

You can set double-click of the LMB to attack in the game’s settings.

You mean “launcher”.

First of all, there is a subforum for technical questions:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support

Secondly, I doubt anyone can help you with a GTA5 related issue. Have you tried cleaning the game cache and system memory with CCleaner before launching GW2? Perhaps GTA5 is storing a lot of temporary data.

…and it’s back again!

Please fix her supposedly dead body at the end of “Blast from the Past”. You ruined a tragic moment for me!

Not only are her eyes still open, but you can still talk to her (!) and she replies with mouth moving animation and all. I was laughing so hard at her feisty responses:

“What?!”
“Hi.”
“Yes?”
“Where’s the meat?”
“I’m bored.” (That I could relate with, since she’s laying there in the dirt of Orr.)

Pretty talkative for a corpse. ^^

P.S. Here’s the video, by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqWDJeLZqso

I judge maps by only one factor: emotional response. Does it touch me, affect me in a positive manner, have me in awe, make me feel excited to explore?

Therefore, even though some maps might be difficult to navigate, that is not something that affects me in my overall judgment. There is a reason why I have 100% map completion on three chars and will probably do it 1-2 more times.

So, which maps made me feel “bleh” the most when I travelled them, due to sheer ugliness and/or boredom?

1. The Grove (hurts my eyes, also awful design)
2. Bloodstone Fen (boring, also hate the overall design)
3. Ember Bay (so bleak, makes me depressed)
4. Cursed Shore (boring, adventure potential wasted)
5. Dragon’s Stand (great meta, but otherwise boring design… can’t wait for the next expansion to never see another Mordrem again in my life)

nick storm.6219:

and maybe they are not interested in guild hopping to drop them for extra cash.

How can you turn ToK into cash in guilds???

Kaltyn of Torbins Deep.2946:

I like Kas…but someone needs to say to her, “Suck it up, buttercup. Nobody promised you were going to live forever. You’re either part of the team – and that means having my back and doing what’s right even when its certain death – or you’re dead weight. We live in a violent world filled with things trying to kill us every moment of every day. Suck it up and spit in their eye, or die on your knees. Your choice.”

As my last screenshot shows, the devs are trying to convince us that she ran because she was awestruck by the presence of a god, not out of fear.

Either way, that was a totally lame, out-of-character thing to do. Kas would have never left a wounded Jory, not even for the presence of one of her human gods. It was badly written, that much is for certain.

Anyway, looking forward to a god-driven expansion campaign.

Another attempt of explaining Kasmeer’s weird reaction when you talk again to Taimi after the last mission of ep. 5.

Ashantara.8731:

@OP: You are wrong. The footage used in the trailers is exactly the same as in the actual episodes, it’s the cut that makes things appear different than they actually are. Just shows how a cut can change the perception of content completely and deceive people.

All the dialogue used in the trailers can be found one on one in the respective story missions. The same goes for facial expressions, they just look more cinematic in the trailers due to camera zoom and angle — that’s why it’s called a cinematic.

No many can’t be found in the episodes (It can’t be, Kryta will not be broken DR will not fall).

That is NOT true, though. They were all in there. Either in cutscenes or other moments during the missions.

Kas says “It can’t be!” when Balthazar’s illusion shatters. “Kryta will not be broken, DR will not fall” all said by the Queen during her speech. And so on. I played all of S3 again just yesterday.

Oh, it’s other nodes as well? Good thing you mention this, let’s hope the devs will fix the issue!

P.S. I must have gotten lucky then, because this was the first three-node spot where I encountered this bug.

One can no longer harvest from two of the three nodes at the Cathedral of Verdance!

It gives you the “Chop” gear option, but opun using that, nothing happens.

Please fix.

Just thought I’d post this for people who might have missed it.

The first screenshot shows the dialogue between the Commander and Taimi. They are as clueless as to why Balthazar needs to absorb worldly magic as we are. The fact that this dialogue is in there to me is proof that it will be explained in detail soon and will be a major part of the story (in episode 6 or in the expansion).

The second screenshot is the one between the Commander and Marjory. The latter is as shocked about Kasmeer’s out-of-character behavior as we were when we first played the episode. Many posted they find this behavior intolerable — and I agree. I don’t like seeing Kasmeer being turned into a coward (oh, and for the record, I can’t take her annoying hiccups anymore!). The devs will have to come up with an especially good excuse for that. In any case, this dialogue (as the previous one) to me is solid proof that the Gods will be the major topic in the upcoming expansion, not the dragons — what a relief! (Unless there is something to my theory after all. )

This is not a server issue, so it must be a local issue with your internet. I suggest you call your ISP and file a complaint about your unstable connection.

This was pretty funny, never had happened before. When using the updraft to return to the Bloodstone Altar, after finding all the shards and defeating the enemies, Caithe decided to float a good twenty feet or higher above ground.

notebene.3190:

They still force your weapons to unsheathe when using them, and it’s rather annoying. Thank you.

This happens with other tools, too.

I was just going to write a complaint on here, something along the lines of, “Dear ArenaNet devs, could you please, at last, make the automated weapon draw upon gathering resources stop? Thank you!”

Then I saw this thread.

The same happens when gliding, and with any other action. It’s annoying as hell, and I remember that it wasn’t like this a few months ago.

You might want to post those here:

Vayne.8563:

The Aetherblade dungeon has nothing to do with the Aetherblade path.

Ahh, okay.

Vayne.8563:

What was the dungeon part of the one in Kessex? The entire thing was a giant tower in the open world filled with bosses, much like an open world dungeon. You can only see the ruins today.

You wrote “…which is an open world dungeon”, hence it sounded like something that was still there.

perilisk.1874:

It depends on how you feel about having easy access to an unlimited number of ascended trinkets

Okay, you are right, there is that.

Ah, thanks, Red. I didn’t check and am_ not familiar with MSI computers, so it didn’t hit me.

Edit: LOL! Had to place an underscore there, because the forum’s programming thinks I typed something nasty and censored it. What?!

There are countless examples in the Game of either Weapons or Armor being so thin that you may not even notice they even exist if looking from some point of view. […]

TL:DR: No more parts for Armor or Weapons that are only “1 Pixel / Paperthin” in width

Yes, absolutely! This is especially noticeable with some sword skins. Just awful!

For instance, one of the reasons I refuse to get the two/three legendary “Twilight” swords is their non-existent blade thickness. “Paper skin” does pinpoint it nicely.

Those swords have 0-thickness blades for a reason – they’re rifts in reality, not physical blades. They really are two-dimensional planes projected from the hilt.

Doesn’t make it any better, though. Still looks silly, esprecially with the childish broad blade and paintbrush effects. I prefer swords that actually look like swords.

It’s a good thing that people have different preferences and taste.

Farming Flats.5370:

actually , i believe it’s a illusion. The animation is faster with the weapon stowed and slower with the weapon out but in fact you cover the same distance in both situation while you run.

It is not about the distance covered but the animation speed. I think the OP made that very clear. And they are right about that.

And yet another Oakheart Essence related bug!

Sometimes, when you land after using the essence, your character remains in the “Throwing out my Spiderman web” posture, as shown in the screenshots below.

You remain stuck in that stiff posture even when fighting and using skills. Only initiating gliding fixes the issue.

Farming Flats.5370:

The other option if you really need auto targeting is to set a hot key to stow your weapon. If you are quick enough you use a shout then quickly hit your stow weapon button to cancel the auto attack.

Yes, know that too, but still, it is yet another workaround, not a solution. I wish for Anet to finally fix this!

• I want that armor set (1) as an outfit! It’s Brother Mhenlo’s gear (minus the gloves and shoes, which are from other sets). Please?

• Please give us that haircut! (2) The current GW2 version of it is insufficient (i.e., downride ugly) as it provides a short forehead, lacks the nicely trimmed sides and back of the head, and has a weirdly placed ponytail.

P.S. Also, please implement camera zoom like in GW1 into GW2’s character selection screen.

@OP: I thought April 1st was a couple of months ago?

If you play Asura staff guardian it’s welcome to the womit train.

You mean “vomit”, I assume? Are you referring to the nausea caused by all the skill effect?

Because other than that, I find the idea fabulous!

Are you really talking about alt accounts or alt characters? If the former, then no. Why should the use of alt accounts be encouraged/supported by such a bonus?
