Guild Wars 2

When I started the first Claw Island mission as a Sylvari, I was all like “hello again Trehearne!” and he was all “great to see you Valiant!” which is fine because we already know each other from the Sylvari personal story. Then after we finished talking, Tybalt is all “omg hi Trehearne” and stuff because apparently they know each other too.

Then after that, Tybalt decided to introduce us to each other which was just weird. “This is Trehearne, he’s a Sylvari firstborne!” and all that. Yes I know you idiot, were you not paying any attention at all?

And that’s my highly professional bug report. That dialogue section is probably only meant for other races but currently also happens for Sylvari.

The Ultimate edition will not be available as an upgrade and must be purchased as a full game package.

It doesn’t say that for the deluxe so presumably it will be available as an upgrade.

It says exotic insignia. For reals.

The crafting stations can use items that are in your bank or mat storage but the forge cant.

And? Mystic Coins are the iconic Mystic Forge material, can only be used in the forge as far as I know, and they have a material slot. Mists Essence from Fractals, only used in the Forge, can be deposited into crafting material storage. There’s no reason other Forge-only materials like Blade Shards shouldn’t go in there too.

And I’d really like to be able to just deposit Foxfire Clusters so I could make Piquant Plant Food out of them on my chef character instead of having to manually walk to the bank and put them in (and needing a free slot).

TheGrimm.5624:

Excited for both changes. Makes the wait rough but looking forward to both changes.
I understand the reasoning for the items that were selected. On the wallet any options for keys (DT/SW/BL), weapon scraps/tickets, shovels, boosters? All of these are non-tradeable.

They’re non-tradable, but they’re not really currencies. They’re items that you use.
Except for Black Lion tickets/scraps, those should probably go in the wallet.

Cormac.3871:

Best guess is that they are used to speed level crafting. People craft to gain levels quickly and allow themselves to do key farming. It has just taken this long for the key farmers to work through the Wintersday backlog.

It’s not just business as usual, taking a long time to work through the backlog.

Number of sell listings 1 month ago: 24.8 million
Number of sell listings 4 days ago: 24.7 million
Number of sell listings now: 9.8 million

That’s a lot of snowflakes being bought all of a sudden. Probably somebody trying to push the price up. And not doing a very good job.

You’re missing Rata Sum by the sounds of it

Lol yes, that has exactly the 9 WPs, 19 PoIs and 5 Vistas that he’s missing.
How do you completely miss one of the racial capital cities?

Leriol.8421:

I have checked every PvE map percentage three times and confirmed 100% for all of them. One character shows 98% map completion — 477/486 WPs, 633/652 PoIs, and 221/226 Vistas. Looking at the WvW map, those are the only ones I’m ‘missing’.

I know about the “new PoIs” and made sure to get them done.

Well your totals are the same so I doubt you have some weird bug where only you have to do WvW maps when nobody else does. I definitely have never completed a WvW map.

Caithe’s Bloom Dagger isn’t on the list. It didn’t have a time limit before but now it says it’s only available for 7 more days just like everything you mentioned.

Glowing Crimson Mask Skin

They’re only removing the red one and not the green or blue ones? That’s kind of weird.

Really bugged me as well when I walked into his office and Anise was going on about how it wasn’t his fault.

He shouted about how he can defend both places at once because the gods invented teamwork and then he sent a complete overkill force with me and one guy with a token force to the other place?

Yes it is your fault Logan. Those little orphans are dead because of you. You could have saved them but you didn’t. The Seraph are way bigger than that little bandit group, you had enough troops to cover both places. You could have even evacuated the buildings that you knew were going to be attacked in advance, it might have tipped off the bandits but it would have definitely saved them. You didn’t and that’s on you.

wolfger.3467:

edit: I noticed that I did not yet have the Point of Interest for this location, even after entering on the personal story several times. I ran in to get it and said “what the heck, let’s try again” and then it worked properly. Coincidence?

Probably a coincidence. I already had the PoI before I started.

First time: Tried to enter the instance, got stuck in the loading screen, Windows popped up with “this program is not responding”.
I’ve been playing for a few months now and never had that happen with GW2 before.

Second time: Entered the instance, followed the green star which led to Sieran and Kekt, they talked about going to an ancient dwarven tomb. When they finished I got a mail about Ascalonian Catacombs but the objective was still “Travel to the Priory Archive in Lion’s Arch” and pointed to Sieran and Kekt and I couldn’t progress.
Sounds like the same bug that’s been talked about in this thread.

Third time: When I entered the instance Gixx appeared and the objective updated to “Speak with Steward Gixx”. I talked to him and then after a 30 second or so delay a cinematic played. Then I got a “Speak with Sieran” objective and the same conversation with her as last time. When it finished I got the mail about Ascalonian Catacombs again but this time the objective changed to go to Molent Summit and the leave instance button appeared.
Worked fine, like the Dev post above said it should.

Links are broken. I guess the forum’s changed since this was written.
If I change the “/pvp/wuvwuv/” bits to “/game/wuv/” like is in the address of this thread that seems to work.

When I logged in some people had made a tour around the whole city. They said it took them over an hour. It was fun to follow it and see all the new stuff. It even went through one of the jumping puzzles.

Wanze.8410:

Lauren, the QA Lead, made an intriguing statement yesterday about an upcoming bug fix:

Lauren Kamieniecki.6245:

It won’t be next release, but there is progress being made. This fix will debut on a release day to much fanfare though.

Maybe im interpreting too much into it but it could be that we might get a bigger release. Soonish.

Might also be only a hint that the next instrument in the gem store will be a trumpet.

Not next release, but soon? Guess what was promised in 8+ weeks 6 weeks ago.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Personal-Story-Restoration-update
Exciting.

Arioso.8519:

And then all the non-playable races, I have no idea. You don’t even really see their children ever, except those Quaggan trick-or-treater kids during Halloween.

I remember an underwater cave (in Mount Maelstrom?), where the guard says it’s where they keep their most precious treasure and it turns out to be full of little quaggan kids. And there’s that jumping puzzle (in Timberline Falls?) where you have to jump over the lamps in a Quaggan nursery and there’s an adult Quaggan singing to them about crab cakes or something.

Today I opened up the game, loaded a character, and… didn’t get kicked off the airship.
I was all “woah, they actually fixed it?” Then I closed the game and tried again and got kicked off like normal. Guess it was just a random bug

JackSpacer.4320:

Meh, doesn’t bother me that much. Not that hard to just leave the Airship before logging out. Problem solved.

So instead of quit, start, load the airship and then load Gendarran Fields, you load Gendarran Fields, quit, start, and then load Gendarran Fields again. That’s the exact same amount of loading. It doesn’t solve anything. It probably wastes more of your time because you leave the airship manually instead of getting instantly booted.

Marge.4035:

Way overpriced considering there’s not even a single sword/mace/scepter skin that would match nicely.

There is a lack of elegant weapons. But that’s why I bought it. My Mesmer doesn’t have many other options.

I’m using Bonetti’s Rapier which is civilised enough. Unfortunately the fan does have the Chinese dragon pattern on it which doesn’t really match with rapiers. And all the Dragon’s Jade weapons are massive inelegant hunks of rock. Hopefully more weapons like this are coming.
