Guild Wars 2

You should probably report that, it’s not supposed to happen.

If you put something in the MF all item upgrades will be destroyed, yes. However changing skins shouldn’t.

You could have stayed, tried your best, and actually learned something from the experience.

But you deliberately went afk during a rated match. They reported an afker.

I see no problem here.

Why do people like you exist?

Because he’s right?

No, he’s not. OP stated that he entered by accident, and had every intention of leaving as soon as the verbal bashing began. Why on earth should he help a group that’s verbally tearing him a new one?

I saw a dev post on this, and if I remember correctly you are perfectly fine with reporting them for LFG abuse, especially since that’s not what the tool was meant to be used for. I believe that’s why the use of it for such has gone down.

One trick you can try, in GW1 talk to Kimmes and cycle between personal and account achievements, then log out and back in. Sometimes that helps to activate the achievements.

cheshirefox, it’s called Beaker’s Empty Belly, and you get 10 AP from it, as well as what you get for completing the JP.

Much better now, thank you!

You would have to submit a ticket to support.

Dreamy is right, not to mention that ANet would have to get clearance from every console company for every update and patch, which would greatly slow any new content and feature releases. PC is a much better platform for this kind of game.

Tittymcgee does look like it goes against the naming policy.

Possible mammory-centric substitutes for you to consider (though some of these might also not be accepted):

I read this and I lost it, lol

That’s the lowest areas of Rata Sum. You have to fall all the way down. You’ll die from the impact, but if you have a revive orb you can run around down there, but don’t expect to find anything of interest.

The page is still bugged. Ignavia’s screenshot is dead on what the initial page shows, and any character page is also severely skewed.

That would be awesome! I’m about to finish my second aquatic legendary and I’d love to show them off!

The new Wardrobe was introduced while you were out. Sign in with every character, visit the PvP area so as to unlock any skins you may have had in the PvP locker. Also, with each of your characters, visit the Black Lion Armorsmith. The NPC will unlock any town clothes you had on each character, either as everlasting tonics, or in the case of your Winter’s Day suit, it will be unlocked as an outfit and be available to all of your characters. You should do this with all your characters so that anything they may have had gets converted one way or the other. Some pieces even became armor skins.

Malkavian, I believe that the heart continuity issue is likely the same as the LS continuity issue, in that NPC’s are programed to immediately assume a certain task has been accomplished. I’ll admit, I’m not sure which hearts your specifically referring to, but here’s an example.

In the LS, DE 2.0 and many story NPC’s immediately assume that you have the rank of Commander in the Pact, and have already defeated Zhaitan, even if, with that particular character, you haven’t even finished your personal story. This may be the same with the hearts in question.

There were many good and many not-so-good facets to this most recent feature patch, and a few that fell in the middle.

- Commander Tags
Making these account bound and allowing the owners to change colors is a good move. However, I do believe that an option to turn viewing off in PvE areas would be a good idea. I do know that it’s possible to reduce the number viewed by joining a squad, and that does help with the issue a bit. However, during legit PvE events in which commander tags are used (such as guild missions) others in the map may not appreciate having to deal with a few dozen commander tags suddenly appearing on the map.

-Trading Post
This is, by far, the best feature update. The search filters are absolutely amazing and being able to fully search by category is a huge boon. In truth, I can only find one fault with the system, and that is it is now impossible to instantly sell items in your inventory quickly, as the system defaults to “listing” your items rather than selling to a buyer. Perhaps this system was put in place to help negate the buy offers that are for less than what the item is valued at, but when running something fast paced (such as WvW) people want to sell on the fly to clear their inventories and will not be able to do so.

-Early Leveling System
There is a lot of controversy about this. According to ANet developers most of the level gating that has been introduced was not intentional. Assuming this is true, I hope that it will be fixed soon, as it does indeed impede the leveling experience over all. That being said, the “intended” leveling features, such as making it easier to level to 15 and removing some of the complexity of the starting areas, while perhaps a bit along the lines of “spoon-feeding,” I do not feel seriously impact game play.

-Personal Story Breakdown
I honestly feel that certain aspects of this were unnecessary, particularly where the next chapters are unavailable until you hit the level requirement. That being said, the revamped reward system IS a plus and hopefully will encourage people to play through the Personal Story rather than abandoning it once they’ve done it on at least one character.

The level gating is the thing. Whether or not it was an intended feature or unintended bug, I do agree that it’s an issue that should be addressed as quickly as humanly possible.

That being said, I appreciate ANet’s efforts to bring it’s players the best game around. For the most part I find myself liking this patch, and hope that the developers continue to work on behalf of the player base and improve/expand on this great game.

And you have proof this is untested? Pics or it didn’t happen.

Eric.7569:

Thank you for communicating. Thank you for the discussion about guilds.

Please undo the changes to weapon and utility skill level requirements.

As has been said, several times already, most of the level gating issues are unintended bugs and will be dealt with as quickly as possible.

Minis get culled if the map population is too high.

There was a twitter post about there being some connection issues. They’re working on it.

Another good source if Empereal Fragments is the Edge of the Mists. Just tag along behind a commander and you’ll get them faster than you’d believe.

Those two potions were never there to begin with. The only items listed were the end achievement items, not the one’s available by farming.

One I can think of off the top of my head is the ascended sentinel greatsword. Etched greatsword is purple-ish. The Chiroptophobia gs skin is purple-ish. Ahh heck, here’s where you can check em all out. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gallery_of_greatswords

Can the mobile authenticator be used with flip phone or does it require a smart phone?

The problem, RedStar, was that in order to get a full description of what people were selling you HAD to keep an eye on the chat. The party window cut off a good portion of what people were posting and the only way to read the whole thing was to keep the spam chat open.

My recommendation is to study each map in detail, and even learn from other commanders in map. Not just what to do and where to assault, but what NOT to do. Same works for any PvE events. But my biggest bit of advice is not to even tag up unless you’re willing and ready to take command, even if only for a small event.

Everyone will have different opinions on this, but here is mine. If you can’t seem to choose a weapon type and aren’t sure if that stat combo will be overly helpful, you can always make it an Aquatic weapon. I think most people will agree with me that Aquatic weapons tend to feel under-powered and that the fight mechanics underwater can be difficult to master, so any Ascended Aquatic weapon is a huge step up, no matter what the stats.

Each major racial city and Lion’s Arch has an NPC that acts as your bank contact. Also, it should be noted that your bank can also be accessed from any crafting station, which are also located in the cities and also in each of the starting areas outside of those cities (usually the 1-15 or 1-17 level range). Good luck and welcome to Tyria!

Thank you Vayne excellent summary.

Shen, you neglected to mention that you still have to run all over creation to get your hands on those skills, and still need to hunt down bosses to get elite skills (assuming you know which boss has which skills)

The Hall of Monuments Rewards Calculator page is severely bugged. The graphical elements are skewed and prevent any links from being click-able, and some graphic elements aren’t viewable at all.

The only thing you can do about them and others like them is block/report. Because they change up how their text comes across every time the spam flood doesn’t catch them. Blocking and reporting will insure that the account gets banned and (assuming it’s stolen, which it usually is) returned to it’s rightful owner.

Also, there have been several hundred posts like this one and they, like this one will be, have all been closed because discussing gold sellers on the forums is against the forum rules.

Actually I’d suggest adding even limited use tonics. Many people, particularly veteran players, are likely to have a stack or two of said tonics in their banks somewhere (assuming they didn’t get frustrated and just delete them.)

TP is more efficient, scam-less, instantaneous, and doesn’t require you to stand around doing nothing but spam the chat window over and over again instead of actually playing the game. I’ll take that over player to player trade any day.

Here’s another question that’s always bugged me… will we be able to specifically filter for back items now? (an item for which there was never any kind of filter to begin with)

Just returning to the character select screen should do it.

Ok, here goes… A “feature” is an update that changes and improves game functionality and overall game play. That is what is being included in this update. “Content” is an update that expands the map, gives new quests and dungeons, and new races and professions. STOP LOOKING FOR CONTENT IN A FEATURE PATCH!!!

Salvage, preferably with a BL kit if they have any good runes/sigils in them.

No, no, not really, no.

Hey, you were on the same map I was! If it makes you feel any better, I doubt you missed any good loot. I certainly didn’t get any.

Somoe, I was not in any way, shape, or form defending the Silver SOM. I assure you I can perform basic math. I was simply pointing out that due to lack of immediate access to MF stones (either from achievements or because they don’t want to get them from the gem store) that this would be a more attractive alternative to new players (hence my argument that it and the sale in general is geared more towards them)

You partly missed my point, which was that new players aren’t going to be making mystic salvage kits because they either won’t have the MF stones from achievements and most likely won’t be buying them from the gem store. However they would be likely to buy this item.

I posted a response in regards to this in another thread but I’ll paste it here.

"

I did some serious thinking about this item in particular, and about the 10 day sale in general, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the whole sale, in particular the silver SOM, is NOT in fact geared towards veteran players. Stop and think about this for a moment. As far as the weapon and armor skins currently on sale, as well the permanent harvesting tools, have already been purchased by veteran players who wanted them when they were previously available. I say “most” because obviously there have been people who missed them or were unable to purchase them when they were available (such as Rox’s Quiver).

Now, particularly in regards to the Silver SOM, the argument has been that a mystic salvage kit accomplishes the job nicely, and at little to no cost to the players making them. This is true, IF the player is a veteran. Most veteran players who’ve been at this for a year or more probably have a stack or three of mystic forge stones sitting in their banks just from achievement rewards and daily/monthly awards. However, people who have only been playing for, oh say, the last six months, will have few MF stones if any, and many of those that might have them won’t have a clue as to what to do with them. The Silver SOM would then seem like a good idea to them, since they wouldn’t have to take up valuable storage space for a bunch of 25 count master salvage kits.

It all comes down to demographics. This sale, by-in-large, is mostly not meant for veteran players, but the new and relatively new ones. Not that veteran players shouldn’t take advantage of it should they have missed something."

Some of you guys need to check the dev feed now and then, as this has already been commented on. People who are leveling will get a marginal nudge in drops towards their armor weight/usable weapons. “Marginal” being the key word. According to the dev post most people won’t even notice much of a difference. And while yes, level 80’s will still be affected by this, again, “marginal” is the key word here. Please look it up.

I would like to point out that ANet has in no way broken their promise in regards to precursor crafting/acquisition. They have, however, had to revise their timetable for implementation due to many factors, up to and including economic impact. I’m not even sure I want to know what other issues they have to deal with regarding this. Given what they’ve told us, it’s still in development with an unknown time table. Simple as that.

jmoak.7821:

didnt they promise precursor crafting over half a year ago? good going anet

Alpha posted a quote regarding that. You really should read it.

My recommendation is to use them to pass level thresholds, such as if you’re waiting to get to the next level where you can use rare gear or if you’re approaching 80 and don’t want to grind those last few levels. Otherwise pop them whenever.

AlphaNeonic.1925:

Shalloe.4867:

“We aren’t quite ready to go into all the details here, but what I can say is you will see a specific way to build precursor items on your way to a legendary. On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013. Building your precursor will require a large amount of the new crafting material rewards listed above, 500 in crafting, and likely a combination of other items earned for completing more specific content in the game”
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

That is why people still go on about this. Over a year later and I’ve not seen any more on the subject but have not been playing or following forums/announcements prior to living story season 2 so may have just missed stuff. But if nothing more has been mentioned about this update I can perfectly understand why people go on about this and are not happy.

Surely an explanation as to why this has been dropped/forgotten about/delayed is owed to the players after failing to deliver this when every other feature in that announcement was implemented into the game long ago.

From Mark Katzbach in March of this year:

“We want to let you know that the ability to build your precursor will not be in our upcoming Feature Pack. The way progression and rewards work in Guild Wars 2 have changed quite a bit since we initially talked about that feature, and our main horizontal progression systems are about to get some additional updates in the upcoming feature pack. Because of that, we are looking into several ways to integrate building your precursor into our new updated reward and progression systems we’re working on, which is requiring additional development time and iteration. As always, we’ll share details on this system once it’s far enough along in production we’re ready to discuss it.”

We should probably take that last bit as an indication that we won’t be finding out ANY info about it until it’s actually released.

Thank you Alpha, I knew that was out there somewhere I just haven’t been able to find it.
