Guild Wars 2

There is also that vista in the Eternal Battlegrounds that is a jumping puzzle. The one where you have to jump to boards sticking out of the tower. That one took me over 30 minutes of trying.

Reducing the amount of skills that area ground-targeted. Looking at you, Grenade Kit.

There is an option for ground targeting where you can cast on where your cursor is pointing. Only downside is you can’t see the aoe circle before you cast.

It is a must have for me.

This does obviously help, but I still want an option like “center ground targeted skills on current target”

That’s the reason I don’t use bombs on my engie. This game already stresses my hands. After the click fest that was the Wintersday festival, I was taking Tylenol for hand pain. :/

Juba.8406:

why not make Twisted Marionette just like tri-head worm a World Boss ?

even if there is no breachmaker, it could be as reliving a past experience.

I think that’s an excellent idea.

I actually miss the marionette. Most people got sick of it cuz they did it so much in that period of time, but it actually was really fun.

Looks like a bug of some sort. You can send a report and screenshot in game to support.

Does someone know from personal experience about the delete all characters causing you to lose the guild?

I’ve read another post where it doesn’t, that unless you hit the ‘leave guild’ option your account doesn’t leave the guild and you don’t lose it with all character deletion. That it’s still on the guild panel when you make a new char. It also doesn’t warn about this in the part of wiki that talks about deleting all chars to transfer nor in the part about guild banks.

The policy itself is not something they are going to change. Apparently it’s tied into the insurance part of financial matters. They are required to do this. Lawyers, you know.

OP needs to contract his bank to get a statement from them that it was his bank’s fault then update the ticket with the new information and discuss it with them.

Should transfer with you now that the guilds are no longer tied to a server.

“As of the September 2014 Feature Pack, guilds are global and shared regardless of the world you are on. All merits, influence, and vaults were merged and are now shared across worlds.”

I love a good barbecue.

It appears, when the character is not Sylvari, to be the level 60 story line, The Battle of Claw Island. The player character is introduced to him at that point by their mentor.

I just love how you need 10. But, of course, normally you only get 3 per node…. :P

That only really matters for trees as far as the daily is concerned. For forager you can use any of the node patches. For miner there are permanent rich nodes in each region or just use the home instance nodes. For trees krytan/ascalonian is also very easy. Haven’t spent enough time gathering wood in the other regions to think of any good spot for those.

Forager is the nodes that can be harvested with a sickle. Harvester is axe (trees). Miner is pick (metals).

Not sure what you are trying respond to. Also it’s lumberer as seen in today’s daily.

You said that forager was any of the node patches, which means metal and trees also. I was correcting that remark to say it’s only nodes that can be harvested with a sickle.

I am not sure how either trees or metal nodes fit the description of a patch.
I was referring to these.

Hmmmm. There are elder wood tree sites in the Orr area with several of them clustered around one spot. But we’ll let it go that you meant plant nodes.

To me, Raven seems best suited for an engineer even though it’s associated with the underworld.

“Raven is one of the more prominent deities of the norn. Raven represents wisdom, cunning, trickery, and knowledge”

As to cunning, strength, intuition. I would select cunning as it ties in with the Raven.

Speaking as someone who has done many, many farm runs, nodes have always been scarce (if they weren’t, the prices on the trading post would be even lower). What makes them currently appear lower is the specificity of the daily. Before, it was harvest all nodes. Now it’s only one type. This means you run past multiple nodes of the wrong types looking for the right type. Running past multiples of the “wrong nodes” makes the nodes you want appear fewer since you get frustrated by all the ones that don’t count.

I am sure that I didnt express it well but more than anything else I meant nodes that seem to always (or nearly so) be in a given location on non daily days not being there when the daily applies to that zone and node.

I can’t say I’ve noticed it. There is too much variation from day to day and the different levels do get different dailies, which means the maps would be switching out over most, if not all the world on a daily basis.

As a farmer I can say, when I’m looking for one thing, such as soft wood, I often have to make long runs across the landscape to find even one tree. The dailies are like that. The nodes are variable in place from one day to the next and there are long runs to get to them.

This means you run past multiple nodes of the wrong types looking for the right type. Running past multiples of the “wrong nodes” makes the nodes you want appear fewer since you get frustrated by all the ones that don’t count.

They would have to be removing the nodes and replacing them on multiple maps. Can they even do this without having an update? Since there are nodes, do they go through all the maps, delete some and leave some, then replace them 24 hours later just to do it again on a next set of maps.

Since low levels have different dailies that might mean they would have to do it for another region, if their dailies don’t match the upper levels dailies.

Or maybe they’ve always been kind of scarce but you’ve never noticed because you’ve never had this type of daily before.

Imo, the story line where you get drunk at a Moot and pass out, is an iconic Norn story line.

For engineers though, I doubt there is really one. Norns aren’t really into gadgets and technology.

Pick an interesting one and play it for the story and achieve points if nothing else. You can always delete that char once you get to the shared story line, if you find the armor uninspiring,

This ‘problem’ could easily be solved if they’d allow us to use a Transmutation Charge to skin a heavy armour piece with a medium or light armour skin, or any of the other combinations. I for one would love to see my female human Elementalist running about in heavy Flame Legion armour.

that would be great!

It would be so easy to implement too. Sadly though, I doubt it’ll ever happen.

At this point, I’ll put in the quote from the Dev. He was talking about town clothes, but he spoke a bit about armor also.

Source (page 18).
“When we started looking at bringing more of the clothing back into armor with mix and match styles there are some fundamental incompatible things between weight classes. (part of how we set up every armor to allow many dye channels and styles per piece).. There really is no way at this point over six years since we started development to make absolutely everything work together.”

(One of the incompatibilities I’ve read about besides the problem with the number of dye channels per piece, is that the different armor weights have seams in different places)

1) when you open the chest, you select the set of skins you want. So you can open on one profession and stick the skins in the bank for another to use.
2) they are one use only. It’s generally recommended to save them for your level 80 armor. If you use it while leveling, you have to use a transmutation charge for each piece every time you update your armor.
3) the other stuff is account bound.

If you use the armor, it will go into your wardrobe. Any profession of the same armor weight can then use any or all of it, at the cost of a transmutation charge per use.

I looked and didn’t see anyone else with your problem. Maybe you have a corrupted file. While you are waiting on support, you could do a client repair and see if that fixes it.

I never played dragon ball in Guild Wars 1. What’s different about it?

I’ve got a bunch of them from key farming and I rarely use them. The buffs are small and it doesn’t feel like it’s worth bothering with them. The only ones I sometimes use are the karma one and the harvesting one (extra harvest and a speed buff). I wouldn’t ever buy them. Not worth it.

Even if they put it in as replayable, it won’t be the same. There were individual fights that had a full map of people in it and battles that covered the a whole map. At best there will be instances telling the story, but not what we had.

Like the Marionette fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6q61iisjn0

I tried to google an answer but didn’t see one. Maybe one of the other forum poster would know. Try making a thread in the Players Helping Players forum. Perhaps someone will know there.

They did an update on the commander tags some months back. I don’t have one myself but it sounds like from what wiki says, you need to create a squad first.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Commander
To create a squad, open the party UI located on the left hand side of the screen (default: P) and select “Create”. This turns on your tag. Select “Disband” to turn it off.
The same panel allows you to choose a color: blue, red, yellow or purple. However, you cannot change the color while you are leading a squad, in which case, disband and recreate the squad.

Also, an account can transfer for free to any non full server if they delete all their characters. So if he want so be on the same server for WvW, he can join a server now then delete his chars and transfer when the server drops to very high.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World#Transferring
“The transfer fee is waived for accounts without any active characters. This allows players just starting out to change to another world that is not full. You also can transfer without cost if you delete all your existing characters. The next time you log on without any characters, you will be prompted to choose a new home world. Please be aware of the following:

Transfers to any game world — whether free or paid for with gems — are allowed only if the population of the world is at less than capacity.
Transfers to any game world — whether free or paid for with gems — are allowed only once per seven days.
If you decide to delete the characters on your account, Customer Support cannot restore them, in whole or in part.
Items left on the characters will be deleted and cannot be restored. Move items to your personal account bank to preserve them."

You only need to be on the same server if you want to do WvW together. If you just want to do PvE or PvP, then it can be any server in the same data center (the NA or EU servers).

I probably can’t help you much, but is the client still downloading when you try to log on? If it’s still downloading, you can’t log on until it’s completely finished. (It took my 3 days with my slow connection to initially download the game)

Hmmm. From what I’ve read, that vendor doesn’t stay long. I remember complaints on the forum about how someone would be trying to buy right after doing the karka Queen event and the chance to do so would disappear before they could finish.

Rangelost.4857:

Astral Projections.7320:

I bet that’s what happened to the OP. If he got there right as the Karka Queen was ending then as all those people left, the map would shut down. The people remaining would be shuffled off to other maps with the Karka Queen just ending but still a good population, which would then also close down as those people leave.

If that’s what had happened, it would have been fine since all I was trying to do was access the post-event vendors. What was happening was actually the opposite: we were unable to complete the event. In every map copy, we’d have just a few players trying to secure settlements, but we not nearly enough to secure all four and lure out the Karka Queen. And being random players, we couldn’t communicate with other map copies to try and figure it out.

Every time I’ve done that event, there’s been a horde of people. The map was completely full and no one could get in.

One possibility, you got there after the majority did. Those maps filled up and you landed on an overflow map with only a few people. Those people gave up and started leaving, starting the transfer off process. Then everytime you transferred, it was to a map that was done with the event and people were leaving from there, causing that map to also try to close.

Yasi.9065:

Get on a map about the time world boss spawns there, stay on that map after world boss is dead.

Have fun porting through a chain of maps to the last few “remaining” ones ^^

To avoid this, just stay on that map you are currently on and volunteer about 20 minutes after it first asked you to volunteer. Of course that results in playing on a virtually empty map for 20 minutes first. Not flawed at all that system.

I forgot about that event.

My first day in Guild Wars 2 was pretty much noob day.

I wonder what would happen if someone bought this item and unlocked the world on their account and then new Legendaries were put into the game that were not saleable on the trading post or that the person wanted to craft and not buy, but wasn’t able to because he didn’t have a Gift of Exploration?

The world unlock would probably be irreversible and the person would be unable to make a brand new char and explore to get the Gift.

Phoenixlin.8624:

Tron.3471:

You know you don’t actually have to change maps. There is a “No” button…

It forces you to change map in 1 hour.

Not always. If you ignore it, sometimes the map will start filling up again and the notification will disappear.

If you can do them on Saturday, Foghaldha.2506 has missions 10AM and 11PM Pacific Time. Also Monday 5PM Pacific (His thread).

Rather sounds like the game was transferring people around to other low population maps, rather than condensing them all into one map.

If that’s what is happening, if it’s not putting them on one map, it will keep transferring people around because because each time it moves someone, they are still on a low population map. Sort of like a shell game where people are shuffled from map to map instead of placed into one.

That hasn’t been a common experience for me. Maybe there is a bug that pops up sometimes.

One thing I found extremely confusing, was how to get into a PvP match.

After they changed the dailies, I tried my first PvP. I hit some panel that looked like the right one, Play Unranked Arena (looked right to me, it sounded like the lowest level) and was put into a queue for several minutes (repeatedly because the queues would fail).

I complained about the time and queues failing and was told to try an arena. So I clicked on one and was in some sort of observer status. I had no idea how to get out of observer and how to get down there and start playing. (I assumed if you clicked on, join game, you would, ummm, join the game). I tried clicking on my party member’s names, trying to move, etc.. Nothing worked.

I talked to my guildies then and they told me I needed to click on the numbers at the top of the UI which would then pull up a panel on which I would then click on the join blue or red team.

Maybe all that was easy or intuitive to others but I still find the PvP panels not well laid out or informative.

It’s interesting though that the low level bandits in Queensdale can dodge away from an attack but a higher level human will not.

Yep. Not a bug. It’s an “improvement”.

See, you should be happy!

Make it so that gathering points that give “Ruined” Items count toward the daily. (IE: If you don’t have a high enough gathering gear to gather from that point.)

X Veteran Kills (Not just event veterans, but open world ones just standing around.)

Worldly Traveler (Traverse X Distance on foot without using a waypoint, skill, swiftness, teleporting, utility or glider. Changing areas is allowed. Counter will stop and resume when effects of skills, swiftness wear off. PVP Areas do not count.)

Make Champion Events rotate through champions that are less killed in the world of Tyria (Such as the Champ Krait Witches)

Gathering ruined ore counts. I’ve mined iron on my low level char with a copper pick and had it count towards the daily.

I tried Orr Foraging with a low tier sickle, it didn’t count at all.

Strange. Maybe it depends on the tool or the char level.

Mine was a level 17. I mined iron with a copper pick and got ruined ore. I checked my daily at that time and the 3 mining strikes on the iron had given me 30%. (I bought iron tools at that point, so I don’t know if that was a one time thing or not).

Maybe they are looking into a better AI system already.

and now I want never hear anything again from a person, which trys hard to deny the existance of horses in the world of Tyria, because otherwise, this axe skin wouldn’t exist in this game… if Tyrian Weaponsmiths wouldn’t know, what a Horse is.

I personally find it sad, that they brought back the New Years Festival just now, when it could have been something, that they could have made already from the begin on 2012/13 with the Year of the Dragon, followed then by the Year of the Snake 2013/14 and now with the Year of the Horse14/15, which in fact comes before of the Ram… they skipped it whyever

Most likely because Anet knew, this would fill massively the eternal Mount Discussion Fire with Oil, when they would bring the Year of the Horse, because hell alot of people would surely freak out then and think, that it means mounts are confirmed and would simpyl ragequit over this with the game >_>

They didn’t skip that year in Guild Wars 1, they simply failed to have that festival in Guild Wars 2.

As to no trade with Cantha, the Zephyrites might.

In the Sanctum and its fleet, the Zephyrites travel the world, looking to trade with different civilizations.

It’s also suggested that they trade with Cantha

“I agree. We just returned from one of our most culturally colorful ports of call. Sadly, it’s a long and arduous journey, so I don’t expect we’ll be heading back anytime soon.”
" I’d like to see it for myself someday."
“I hope you get that chance. Until then, please enjoy the many attractions we’ve provided at the festival. It’s for Lion’s Arch, after all. Thank you for your interest!”

There are still people of Canthan descent living in Tyria. Maybe they got together and pooled their funds to set up a holiday honoring their heritage.

Before people could travel to different parts of the world, this didn’t mean that the maps far from them didn’t exist.

If there are only a few in game, there would be zergs of heavily armed people racing over to snatch someone’s freshly washed undies off the line and cutting them up while the homeowner peaks out through the shutters.

Wait, I thought we were basically already doing that? (though not off the line, instead its off their fresh corpses)

Depends on what they are wearing, 2/3 of the time they are wearing clothing that salvages into cheap leather or mithril. :/

And in addition, the game prioritizes drops based on your weight class. So medium is supposed to get more leather and heavy to get more metals. It’s only the light classes that is set to get more cloth.

Currently
100 gems sells for 8 g 67 s .
100 gems costs 13 g 71 s to buy.

So it costs 13g71s to buy 100 gems. If you turn around and sell them, you will get 8g67s.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gem
There is a 15% transaction fee whether trading gems for gold or vice versa. For example, exchanging 1g gives 85s worth of gems while reselling those gems returns only around 72s 25c , a net loss of roughly 28%.
