Mist Band can't be attuned.

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Ashantara.8731

Ashantara.8731

Bump in hopes the devs will see this and fix it soon.

Quick summary:

  • infused Mist Band can’t be attuned
  • ascended PvP armor (Ardent Glorious) can’t interact with the Mystic Forge for stat change, nor can it be salvaged
  • icons for both Mist Band and Mist Amulet are falsely displayed as Bloodstone trinkets

I have a fix for this coming in the not too distant future.

That is fantastic news, thank you!

Guys…! That’s not Estelle… Estelle is wearing a red noble dress with a bobcut hairstyle and she was also arrested in LS2 season.
Why are people confusing Estelle with Lady Wi?

Lady Wi is wearing a green noble dress with a different hairstyle, as you can see in the trailer.
That’s Lady Wi, NOT Estelle!

True, but if DR gets overrun by the White Mantle, their helpers, including Estelle, who will certainly be freed (as Countess Anise said she would put her to use or something along the lines, so her captivity probably doesn’t include deep, guarded dungeon cells ), will walk again.

However, that woman in the video was definitely Lady Wi.

At first I was just happy to see Ep.4, but then…

Something is really weird: on the “official” FB pages of the Shining Blade and the White Mantle were uploaded two posters. But… The Shining Blade uses the White Mantle’s signature quote “obey”, while the White Mantle uses the Shining Blade’s “dismantle”… Is it worth speculation?

(Hopefully I’m right and we can slap Jennah at last!)

I just checked those out…

So we are basically going to see another Clinton vs. Trump campaign? Oh Gods, please spare me! Where are the Bernie Sanderses of GW2??

Anyone else can't really feel environment?

Ashantara.8731

I find most of the environments highly atmospheric and engulfing.

I think the real problems are:

- The music. Some maps have gotten music that fits the environment (the creepy Orr theme, for instance, or the beautiful peaceful Ascalon theme etc.), but many don’t. And forget about the useless “dynamic” combat music: it either kicks in too late or it continues playing long after the fight is over. It’s really quite unfitting, so I keep it deactivated.

- The environment is too promising! You enter some of the the maps and are in awe, excited at what you are going to encounter and see and do here… only to be highly disappointed in the end that their content turns out to be rather boring. At least, that’s how it felt to me for most part during the original campaign. However, I have seen improvement since then.

In respect of real PTSD, I find it a bit disrespectful to use it in context of a virtual gaming experience. That said, I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. I wouldn’t mind seeing Ascalon City rebuilt and the Charr and their ugly, dirty, stinking metal contructions being driven out of Ascalon again, but that won’t happen — so all I can hope for is that Divinity’s Reach will prevail (and not look like LA afterwards).

[sugestion] Account wide gear wallet

Ashantara.8731

I suggest an account wide gear wallet of all the items that one has unlocked. I am suggesting an actual wallet that holds account bound real items not just the skins.
These items would have to be account bound and not be usable in the mystic forge or salvageable.

Bad idea upgrade-wise. Not a fan of unsalvageable gear.

The video is available now and… OMG – are they giving Divinity’s Reach the LA treatment? Oo

I hope not! That would be devastating as LA looks awful now. DR is my favorite place in all of GW2, giving it an overhaul (of the ugly kind, because let’s be honest, it’s already perfect and any change would be a downgrade) would be crushing. I wouldn’t mind it was taking some serious damage so long as the rebuild will equal its former version.

Should be cool if DR is destroyed and humans rebuild their lives in the Stronghold of Ebonhawke. It should make sense since the next xpack is elona and the crystal desert gate is on the south of this city.

Wait, what? Where did you get that information??

That’s what I was thinking when I watched the trailer. Let’s hope it’s going to be as epic as it made it look like — looks can be deceiving after all.

Maybe it’s Mr E

We already know that E is Estelle, no? It’s already been uncovered a long time ago, or am I confusing things?

useless xp

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Ashantara.8731

Ashantara.8731

Everyone gets XP, not just the people who are doing raids. Of course, and that is probably what you meant, you need to max all available masteries for the XP bar to function as such again. However, I think that, if you haven’t unlocked the Raids mastery track yet, you can get the same benefit by simply maximizing the other masteries, no?

If you mean by ‘get the same benefit’, Spirit Shards, then no, one can only obtain Spirit Shards at each post-80 level-up by completing all Mastery Tracks for a given zone/area; those being either Core Tyria or Heart of Maguuma (so far).

Including the Raid ones? Oh well, that stinks. Also, it makes no sense to me.

Scaling-wise I don’t think I’ve ever seen done the event to stop the lagoon being frozen. I’ve actually seen people jump into the pool to wait until it fails because they know there’s no chance of success.

Uhm, everytime I happen to run into that event, we are actually doing it and succeed.

What “time-consuming” bosses in Ember Bay were you talking about, by the way? I haven’t seen any.

I already have everything set on auto-display so I wouldn’t have to hold down any keys. I thought they were talking about some special WvW feature, my bad.

Ashantara.8731

This is gonna be the best day of your life.

I think that might be slightly exaggerated.

When you’ve tagged enemies (participated in their death) and they die hold the ctrl-key to see al the tasty lootbags.
Then hold ctrl and click F to auto loot.

Unless you already got the WvW autloot available.

Why do I need to hold don’t the Ctrl key in order to loot? Usually, just the “Use” key (which is not F in my keyboard settings, btw) is enough, no?

I did a little WvW today and was a bit disappointed. The Commander was constantly yelling commands on TS (what to do) and we ran as a zerg. No real tactics that I could think of, I’ve had a lot more fun in PvP. I think, once I have a full grasp on the core mechanics and leveled a few things, I will seek out a roamers’ group for more tactical fun.

P.S. With all the AoEs and players (zergs) clashing in one spot, I found it impossible to make out single enemy targets and attack them. Any tips for handling this better?

Hey, cool thread!

Pretty much all of my characters’ armor sets are mixed ones. I created a quick collage of them for you guys. Was too lazy to make in-game screenshots with cool poses, although those would have included the complementary weapon skins and backpieces.

The fourth set my ranger uses is Heritage Armor only, so I didn’t include that one; my elementalist, necromancer and mesmer all three use diverse shoes, gloves and shoulders; and my engineer is usually wearing his purple/white dyed pirate outfit (without the hat):

Dragonball = Zero fun

I fondly remember the good old Dragonball Arena in GW1, as well as all the other cool festival events and quests you could participate in.

GW2 has certainly not implemented any of those fun things into its Canthan New Year festival. What a shame. Boring indeed.

GW1 Plagiarized?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ashantara.8731

Ashantara.8731

Many games before and after GW1 have had similar skill names. Even the good old pen&parer RPGs had spells of similar names (and probably some still have). There is nothing particularly unique about those skill names, so I doubt it qualifies as plagiarism.

Well, I am always asking myself: What could I possibly get for that gold that was better than the convenience of never having to zone again in order to get to my stuff or exchange things between characters (I have nine)? The answer is: nothing. Legendary weapons cost more than that and everything else I can achieve on my own. But being able to access your bank from everywhere without the hassle of zoning, re-logging into another char etc. is simply priceless. Best service I can imagine.

Previewing weapons can lead to game crash

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Ashantara.8731

Ashantara.8731

Since yesterday’s patch, previewing weapons (maybe other equipment too, I have not tested this), whether it’s browsing through a merchant’s inventory or using a weapon container like from story mission rewards, leads to the game crashing. Not instantly, but soonish (after switching between the various preview modes or previewing several in sequence).

Please fix this new bug. I’ve already sent in several error/crash reports.

P.S. Clearing the cache or restarting the computer does nothing to prevent this from happening, and since I’ve never encountered this issue before the latest patch, I must assume it’s a bug in the game code. The error log states something about weapon models and display modes.

P.P.S. Switching to Guild Chat (text chat) and pressing enter after typing something to send it can also potentially lead to the game crashing instantly.

Your underwater aquabreather replaces your main helms stats and runes while you are submerged. So you need a matching rune in your aquabreather to benefit from the 6th bonus underwater.

Zojja’s Masque is the aquabreather. Therefore, the OP was indeed facing a bug issue.

I tend to find that spending time doing something that I detest in game because it is the only path to something that I want drives me away from the game…or at least encourages me to stop spending money.

Okay, you have a valid point there. Maybe I just can’t see how someone would detest JPs, even though some can be quite frustrating at first. I guess since jumping is a core mechanic in GW2, I am simply trying to encourage everyone to master it.

By the way, I detested the requirement of leveling masteries through grinding HoT just to be able to continue with the storyline and have more freedom in the rest of the game (i.e., by having gliding maxed out). But it looks like ArenaNet listened to the feedback and has found a new approach on masteries with the release of Season 3.

However, in the case of something unique like the WP skin, I think that being forced to put in resources (like time and effort) is okay — that’s what makes special skins so special (see legendaries). If it was easy, everyone would have them and it wouldn’t be nearly as rewarding, no?

Still no beards

I was just thinking the same thing today while fiddling around with one of my characters — and I’m a woman, by the way, and do agree that we are having an issue here. For a lack of beard options, my thief is sporting the same “half-beard” (the decent one that doesn’t cover too much of the face) as my ranger. Why? Because I didn’t want stubbles nor a Santa Clause beard. But I did want him to have a beard, so… Yes, more beards, please! And not too crazy, like many of the ugly haircuts, thanks.

What I Expect from the Next Xpac

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ashantara.8731

Ashantara.8731

@ Adry:

While I agree that GW1 was doing much better expansion-wise (new continents, new races) and that HoT was quite a pain in the behind in some regards (until you leveled some masteries and got a hang of those crazy map designs), I think there is a major misunderstanding on your end regarding the story. HoT was not “unfinished”. The fact that we are now dealing with the repercussions of Modremoth’s death is an extension of the whole GW2 storyline about the elder dragons — it has nothing to do with “finishing the HoT plot”.

However, I, too, am growing weary of the elder dragon storyline being the main focus for years now and do hope for some new content (Cantha, Elona?) that has more to offer than just slaying dragons. I miss the exploration and mysticism of foreign cultures and hope ArenaNet will finally deliver such content.

The candy cane bars are NOT a problem, and I am telling you: the left path is easiest to do! Also, STOP COUNTING your steps! That’s insane, as it’ll only stress you out — the opposite of what I wrote in my list of helpful recipes.

If you approach JPs with that negative attitude and that high of a stress level, you will never master the art. All of us started out as noobs, but you have to practice or else you will always shy away from them and fail the few times you decide to give it a try.

I suggest you do the JP completionist achievement. That’s the best practice I can recommend. Good luck.

Yes. Either adjust it so non-raiders get XP too or halt its existence for us.

What do you mean by that?

Everyone gets XP, not just the people who are doing raids. Of course, and that is probably what you meant, you need to max all available masteries for the XP bar to function as such again. However, I think that, if you haven’t unlocked the Raids mastery track yet, you can get the same benefit by simply maximizing the other masteries, no?
