Since April 19 patch I’m having problems to get good a Tangle Depths map. No matter if you get in it way earlier before the Chak Gerent event, like 30 minutes before, I get into a desert map and when I try to taxi in a better is always only one good map, all time full.
I think if TD had a longer preparation time like the other HoT maps, at last we could have enough time for organize and have at last 2 maps with chance to succeed at the Meta Event… 5 minutes is too small for something that need at last 15 players per lane.
And would be great if the devs fix the crash during the MoM fight, principally the one that can occur right before the cinematic, since it locks you out of the map no matter the participation – because of that I pratically need to “leech” on a random island instead helping at all mechanics, principally the burns phases and I hate be a “dead weight” just in the most fun part… Lost 3 MoM because this crash bug and I prefer to not risk it anymore.
Side note and don’t mean to hijack—-are you using the 64 bit client? Haven’t had any crashes since I started using it. So I don’t believe it is a crash bug.
Who here is asking for jumping to be taken out of the game, or even out of dailies? Just give us more choices.
@ Elden
Then I don’t see why are you arguing with me, Elden. Did I EVER say I dont want more choices? No, never. In fact, I haven’t read any JP supporter saying “please don’t add more choices” either. That seems what you spect us to do, but… we don’t.
On the other hand, the anti JP threads that began to appear with the JP Daily comeback are just that: anti JP. Hence the manger.
Anet really needs to re-examine this, take them out of the daily rotation and let them go back to being a sidebar in the game for those that like them.
Thanks for illustrating my point, Blude.
?? What point Anger?(nope) Anti JP hater post?(nope—not anti, I just don’t like them) or the point they are a joke because of the the number of mesmer portals that make JPs skills irrelevant and just a chest farm for for every toon one has when they are active as a daily? (yes)
Hate JPs, but adding them to dailys has become become soooooooooooo easy and I can take all of my toons through them in less time than it takes to load them. So many mesmers giving free portals when a jp is a daily. No jumping required at all. Anet really needs to re-examine this, take them out of the daily rotation and let them go back to being a sidebar in the game for those that like them. Until then, free chests for all.
Got my mes parked there now for any stragglers.
Todays’ (Crimson Plateau) had so many free mesmer portals that I did all of my toons in less time than it took to load them. Almost no one actually doing the JP unless they needed the achievement. And this JP is one of the easiest ones.
Great mechanic?—-more like a joke.
Don’t jump to any conclusions. Your ISP can use various address’ for a variety of reasons like maintenance. I have ok’d a few address in my city that my IP uses to handle traffic. They may even change to another citys’ hub temporarily.
Now if you are getting these warnings when YOU are not trying to logon, you may want to change your PW.
Why not more PvE options like that Daddicus said. I don’t do WvW or PvP. So the 4 options for PvE is lacking. (Happy for all the people who do the PvP, JPs, WvW. Glad you enjoy them and can DO them. I can’t and don’t, so don’t tell me to do them. )
Since the change, the number of PvE dailies that I can actually do has dropped significantly. The number of choices is 4….you have to do 3 of those. So basically no real options in PvE. ( Again…don’t tell me to do PvP or WvW. I don’t consider them a valid alternative to PvE. )
More PvE options are needed, not trying to push non PvP players into those areas or adding JPs that are near impossible to do.
gosh, there are usually 4-6 really really easy dailies that can be done in < 10 mins with minimal effort, frequently without even pitting yourself against other players (because people like to cooperate to complete the dailies). if only you would step outside your comfort zone long enough to try it out.
more options are not needed.
youre defending your closed mind and trying to preemptively cut off a response like mine with your post. but a response like mine is exactly the response a post like yours deserves.
seriously. daily farm custom arenas are not pvp. theyre pve. the sooner you knock it into your head the easier itll be for you to check off dailies.
scavenger’s chasm jp in less than 10 minutes?? let alone the other choices??? Ya Ok. Lets head to cassi to for survival—broken can’t access. oh well.
But the point is there would be nothing wrong to add a few more PvE dailies. Would it actually have any impact what so ever on how you do your dailies (or anyone else for that matter that argues against more options)? NO. It would have absolutely no impact on those that do the JPs or go to WvW and PvE to get them done.
It seems that the closed mindedness is more from those that argue against more daily options for no reason whatsoever other than to argue against the suggestion.
I’m all for more options for dailies. I do love the idea of HoT-specific dailies as separate from general PvE dailies. Great idea!
Just don’t remove JP’s from daily rotation again! My guildmates and I are having a blast doing them, and showing others tips and tricks and such. The JP dailies really do revitalize content that often gets overlooked. This is a good thing!
Don’t want them to remove the choice of picking a JP. But I did pay for the core game and again for HoT, so I should be able to have access to the core only dailys as well as HoT ones and do them if I choose to.
I’m sorry to be somewhat rude, but I really don’t see the problem here. Do the things in game that you enjoy. Don’t do the things you don’t. Why do you feel it’s necessary to remove something from the game that others enjoy?
Didn’t see that the OP wanted anything removed, just added to give more choice in PvE.
The thread is called World Boss Daily VS Jumping Puzzle Daily.
The title indicates the intent to compare and replace one of them, as it they were mutually exclusive.
That’s wonderful. I enjoy the jumping puzzle dailies, myself. As do my guildmates. We were all really excited when JP’s made a return to the daily rotation. Thus far I think I’ve done most of the JP dailies as they’ve popped up, because I like doing them.

You have twelve options with likely even more during festivals.
Edit:
How about the following set:
Daily Ascalon Miner
Daily Straits of Devastation Event Completer
Daily Silverwastes Jumping Puzzle
Daily Kryta Vista
Daily Slay 5 Veterans – Maguuma
Daily Fractal Completer (Complete any two unique fractals)
Daily Dungeon Completer – Arah (Complete any path)
Now there’s a 75% increase in PvE daily achievements giving you more choices.
PvE only! Fractal and dungeons don’t count, and didn’t have the same choices that you provided. Yesterday—daily activity that you couldn’t access cause NPC was broken, Chasm jumping puzzle and an event that wasn’t in you list.
In the PVE tab you have 4 only.
I always rotate between PvE, WvW, and PvP maps for dailies. I can usually complete the 3 required (more often more than 3) using all areas. Just an idea…
Thanks!!
Great mechanic for those that like and participate in all three types. For those others that dislike and don’t play PvE and WvW, not so much.
It’s true that I dislike Jumping Puzzles and have not even attempted most of them. They are just not my thing and the clunky controls and terrible camera make things doubly worse. So I was annoyed to find JPs added to the list of dailies.
However, as someone pointed out in another thread, these dailies take mere seconds to complete once you arrive at the start because: mesmers. So thank you to all the benevolent mesmers out there. I’ll continue to “solve” JPs just as long as there is a LazyMan™ portal there!
JPs? Don’t like ’em
Daily JPs? Love ’em
Mesmer can’t help you at all with todays JP(scavenger’s chasm). Dulfy vid guide-TY!
And as you mentioned the daily activity, broken. That should have fixed as soon as the reports started rolling in.
Yep, maps are character bound. You will have to complete the maps with all your toons.
The game will lead you to the starting point (Rally to Maguuma Storyline).
1) Yes you do, but just by being level 80 you will have enough HP to unlock all the skills and specialization. So all the HP that you unlock in the maps will be use for you elite spec.
2) You get the additional shared inventory space whatever the edition of HoT you buy. But you still get 4000 gems and a character slot. Together they are worst 60$ and you will pay 50$ for them. So if you planned on buying a character slot and some gem in the future then yes, it’s worth it. If buying gem isn’t your thing, then no.
I love targeting that yellow deer of in the distance mid combat, or that ammo crate… seriously this has been an issue since release..
Ditto! Sheep, deers etc (any passive character/animal/object) should never been allowed to auto target. And yes losing active target mid fight has been an ongoing issue and needs to be addressed.
Basically no daily reward for us folks, unless we want to do a loathsome jumping puzzle. The longer I play this game the more I am convinced it is ran by sadists.
Completely agree, I left todays’ daily JP in frustration. So much so I just turned off the game. (Ya ya, many will say do PvP then—nope hate it and will never play it. Do WvW—feel the same way after they changed the maps—I don’t wan to play areas of the game I dislike). HoT owners should have access to ALL the PvE dailys in the core game as well.
Maybe anet can get Cassi fixed but so far no indication they will do so (a message would be nice)
Too bad that the devs don’t give the ranger respect and buff him up!! I am not going to be bothered it as well. Point blank shot and that’s for me as well. Just a bs mechanic that hasn’t been developed properly for all classes. It really does fall on the devs for there inability to balance all classes. i won’t even get into the druid mess.
Except ranger has several cc abilities over several different weapon sets and abilities? I mean, maintain your stance of willful ignorance if you want to (and way to make rangers look better in the process!), but don’t act like it’s Anet’s fault that you can’t be assed to make an effort.
Also, it doesn’t trigger me that other players don’t understand or participate in certain aspects of combat, but it is frustrating when they don’t even bother to learn. Or, better yet, they actually know and can’t be bothered to, like, go the extra half-step and make things slightly easier for their fellow players.
I only really use Point blank Shot. I’ve tried Barrage thinking cripple might count in some way, but I haven’t seen it do anything to a break bar. As for pets, meh. Half the time I don’t quite know where the thing is. I gave up micromanaging pets back in my Warhammer days (at least there I could go loner spec). Sorry, I use a longbow. And pretty much only a longbow, as my 5 person guild doesn’t really do dungeons anymore, I don’t have to switch like I used to. I have a staff as my second weapon, but I don’t really use the blinking thing. I got the druidy things for the achievement, not to use. Sorry, I would respec for a dungeon, but not for dragon or meta event.
Uh, congratulations on doing the bare minimum? I sure as hell hope you don’t complain about fights and events taking three or four times longer than they need to because people like you can’t even be bothered to swap and hit “1” on a different weapon for a few seconds.

As a long time ranger main, i absolutely hate druid. Not because its bad or doesn’t fit ranger, but because its just so boring.
Glyphs are uninspired PBAoEs, which when compared to how interesting elementalist glyphs are, kinda just fall flat. Most of our glyphs are pretty useful though, so there’s that. Staff has one neat ability in its 3, and outside that is just whatever. The traits are boring but so is the whole GW2 trait system, it being just a bunch of passives with only a handful actually effecting your playstyle
Really, druid exists because it needed to for raiding, and because there is no developer interest in rangers, so an elite spec that has barely anything to do with any ranger play-style makes sense.
For all of use that don’t like Druid, all we can do is wait for the next elite spec and hope its more to our liking, not that we would ever get to use it in any group PvE setting while GotL exists, but whatever. /Rant
Disclaimer: Most of this is my opinion.
Not only well said but the truth. Tried druid in a variety of situations and builds—it has no place for me since I don’t and won’t Raid. Maybe one day there will be a dev that hs some interest.
“How do I get the 64-bit client?
Log in to account.arena.net and go to the Game Content page. Under “Other Clients” you will find a button that says “Windows 64-bit [Beta]”. Press that button and then follow the instructions in the next paragraph for installing the executable. Installing the 64-bit client is a manual process and is recommended only for people familiar with Windows folder management.
I already have the 32-bit client; will I have to completely download the game again?
No. The 64-bit client uses the same data as the 32-bit client. If you already have the game installed, you can follow these instructions to avoid needing to reinstall the game:
Download the 64-bit client.
Copy the downloaded program into your Guild Wars 2 game folder.
Update any shortcuts to the game to point to the new file instead.
This process will be automatic once we get out of beta."
Yup, HoT box is empty except for a code so either download it all or copy the .DAT file as described above.
If you are going to download it then you can start your laptop going right now using your GW2 account. The download is the same as for HoT so you’d be ready to play when you get the HoT code (and you can see how well GW2 runs on your laptop).
Nope, got mine from amazon and it does have a disc. I didn’t need to use it since I already had GW2 installed, just had to use the code to unlock the content.
Ahh, they had to be changed because for once they actually gave decent rewards. Given the very limited decent loot in this game, it’s a shame. Given Anets’ perceived stinginess it was to be expected. I just hope when they do come back there will be something actually useful.
My main (Ranger) appears to have only one option, Point Blank Shot, with a long cool down, so I have to be exact when I use it. I appreciated when some one calls out ‘CC Now’.
I think HoT owners should see all dailies offered, We would see 6 options , and then have the freedom to pick any 3 of them for the chest. I know they are there since they are displayed in the timer I use. Jungle Wurm didn’t show up because of HoT but even If I do it, it isn’t recognized as a daily. The day before it was Queensdale Events that wasn’t displayed in game and when I completed it anyway, no reward.
So they should switch the conversation required to another NPC (or add one that is exclusive to the tiger hunt) that has nothing to do with the bugged events.
Stuck because the rescue the kidnapped villagers and defeat harpy kidnappers is still bugged!!!!!!!!!! When is this going to be fixed. Last villager will not move!
Actually there may be more PvE dailys than what you see. It is my understanding that the API hasn’t been updated to reflect what they are( on 3rd party timer site that I use) For example I had Ascalon Vista viewer, Kryta Forager and Events in Tangled Depths listed in the in the game. On the site I use Queensdale events was listed as an option and 2 dailys were just numbers because of the API changes in the update. I assume one of them was Tangled Depths because that was what was offered in the game, but the other one , ? They should display properly in the future.
Anyway, there may more activities available, or it is just a bug until its revised. I did the Queensdale events to see what would happen and I did not get any additional rewards/chests.
Too bad about all the crashing because of the patch though. Hopefully a fix is out soon.
Not an MMO has been done yet where a patch that covers so much doesn’t have some crashes. I think the standard has to be how quickly the issues are fixed rather than them being there. A patch will always introduce a lot of issues because there is no way to test it close to the number of scenarios is goes through once it’s live.
True, but this one has virtually hit every area of the game, it is far greater than some crashes. Infact, never have I seen a patch affect so many events with crashing. I will also add that I personally have never had a crash after a patch/ update since I started playing. Other minor issues, yes but not crashing like this. Hopefully a fix will be out soon.
I have seen crashing worse than this with other patches and that’s just from GW2. And GW2 doesn’t come close as other games I have seen. I’ve seen some games where the servers had to go down for multiple days to fix the what a patch broke. The only thing I have noticed so far is WvW though some people mentioning crashing in some types of gameplay I haven’t tried yet. I am sure it will be addressed in the next couple of hours. If not fixed by tonight, then yeah, I can see the pitchforks coming out.
I guess you haven’t read the bugs section and reddit. Much more than some. And yes a fix has been ‘queued’ ( that means after 4pm pacific time). After 7pm for me, after midnight for europe.
Which is pretty quick. Much better than servers being down for at least 12-24 hours some games have with every patch that affects as many game aspects as this one.
There will never be, nor can there be (at least until a huge leap in technology) a bug free patch with an MMO. There are just too many variables. As I said, it should be judged not on the fact there are some bugs but in how quickly they are squashed.
Worse than this LOL, sure. And quite bluntly, could care less about other games. It’s like me saying it’s cold out and you say well it’s colder in Antarctica, true, but who cares.
OK, whatever, discussing with a white knight goes nowhere. I said I understand, and acknowledge it will be fixed but you can’t even recognize this one is significant and is causing many problems for many just playing the game in this state. It is affecting many , including MAC users, not recognizing the client, not running, crashing no matter what aspect of the game one is playing, reports are growing in the bugs, tech and general areas, FB and reddit etc. Out of this one.

I like reading about what they did and consider them a great improvement. Can’t wait until this fix the patch to stop the constant game wide crashing so I experience the changes. That really is the bigger quality issue at this time.
