Guests get kicked to overflow, when people from the home server log on.—Make it so Anet.
Don’t want loot changed from the way it is, thank-you.
Just kick guests automactically when space is required for players want to be on their home server.
Do you have inside the Chantry Of Secrets on Bloodtide? It’s inside an instance the cave and there have been threads about going back in and making sure you have it.
Would like to see dailies per character instead of account. Just like the boss chests, 1 per day, per character.
It would go a long way to making the process of gearing 8 characters less impossible.
8?!!! Heck I’d be happy to gear up my 2 80’s!! Still have 3 slots open.LOL
It’s one boss chest per character, so I could see people with 5 toons going guesting to get them all quickly. But exploited, don’t know about that.
I don’t agree with the 1 per account suggestion though. Home server only would be a good compromise.
It’s just a pinata type activity anyway.
BTW, the lag is mainly an ANET problem from my perspective and they should be addressing it more.(I am sure they are btw). It was noticeably worse after the latest big update, and it improved a little after it was patched.
If lag is on your end, well that’s another issue altogether and guesting/large group big events may add to it.

I play with a bud in UK, man you guys got awesome bandwidth, and he told me on vent its’ even going to get faster.
We play on an NA server though.
Didn’t appreciate the Maguuma vets thing at all, forced to an area from where I was playing (at least I could get there free). That being said, it wasn’t hard.
Go to Metrica Provicnce , Thaumonova Reactor.
I did three vets inside there. Probably more, but I left when I got the 3rd. It has tons of quick respawns of a variety of enemies to, daily kill was quick. It would be easy to get the different type of enemies daily too, since there are so many.

Haven’t got one from a daily for a real long time, just karma, laurel and mystic.
Haven’t got one in a real long time. Had a few drops early on. I just figured it was another nerf since you can buy them with gems. Ditto for the black keys, haven’t had a drop in a while. They were more freguent, not a lot, but at least you got one every now and then.
There’s nothing in a Black Lion Chest you need. It’s all pretty much junk.
Myself, I have 290 BLCs in storage.
Ignore them. They’re just a callous way of separating you from your money.
Sort of agree, but I did get my permanent bank contract from them when the free keys were more common. That alone made it worth opening, but the key was free.
I suspect there is a permanent trader in them somewhere too.
I have this problem too, but aside from those 2 WPs. I have 100% every zone and I’m still missing 9 WPs, 20 POIs, and 5 Vistas. I have no idea where they could be. Any help please?
Aren’t the WvW zones included in the world completion? Have you been there?
Yep, have to complete WvW maps too, which is a real pain.
almost forgot Heart of the Mists has some too.

In my case I had a successful 100% and awards well before the reset (7pm my time) from the night before. What happened to me was well after the reset time.
Many problems that I have never experienced before this patch have appeared. I have made no changes on my end. Things not showing (like the lettuce in the field by Beetletun until have been in the field for a few minutes, a message saying I am behind some schools network when I go to wvw, but if I use the gates in Lion’s-no problem, then they work again, dailies being awarded before I have completed 100% as well as those already mentioned. It does lead me to conclude the probs are on anets’ end.
Im confused as to why this came up. I didn’t have the option to chose daily jumping puzzle and my monthly is not up yet?
It may show up in the dailys. Seems to be a lot of different ones.
I wondered why the crows, rabbits etc. weren’t counting towards daily kills now and the last daily had ambient kills was added. So I had to kill a bunch of raccoons etc to get my checkmark.
And just to add, my award came up before my last daily was finished and then when I completed, nothing came up. The message said I completed a montly and daily. But neither one was 100% when I got the reward chest. I was also in a champ brawl at the same time. So the screen was quite busy.
Yep—go with Urmaugs Secret, It’s free to get to as well.
Trolls End by the traders forums is a pain, as is Weyandt’s Revenge.
Will have to give Spelunker’s a go next time round.
Links to a thread on where i can find the views of the devs on current problems?

Bunkered down—-blinders on. All those little guilds have become one big voice.
The fact is for the majority to be happy with these guild missions you need 1 guild of 500 people for every 100 guilds of 5 people. I’ve talked to about half a dozen 500 member guilds and they said all their members are THRILLED with this addition of large scale content.
The real problem here is that the minimum size for a guild is much too small. There should be a 10 member minimum like in some other MMO’s. 5 people is not a guild, it is a group of friends. A guild is a group of people banding together for a common purpose and to pool resources.
The vast majority of people are in very large guilds (50+ members) and this new content is geared towards them. There is nothing stopping you from doing this content with the larger guilds and getting individual credit for it. But please stop trying to water down our first large group content that actual guilds have waited months for with some crap instant gratification version.
Such a lack of understanding and disrespect as well as a display of selfishness.
Play as you want has been abandoned by anet-simple as that and those that don’t play yours’ and anets’ way are are having a more difficult time.
Ditto, 1st time I have ever had a problem getting a patch.
(even the forums are slow).
Hey Colin—-another part of the game I won’t be participating in. Thanks for excluding more people! “play the game as you want” my (kitten word).
Wish I would have done WvW exploration when I first got the game, just for my 100% map completion. Looks like I may have to pay to switch to a server with a stronger WvW talents because it appears the server I am on is owned by the other worlds and I will never win some of the places that have some of the poi/vistas I need for completion.
But maybe I will be lucky on friday resets and be able to grab them before the othet world take over the maps (again).
Right, finishing off by going to Lion’s is free then I just go back to Whispers (free with a quick walk) and am back in Cursed Shore (free again as a whispers agent).
Sorry, can you explain this quick shortcut to Cursed Shore and Lion’s Arch?
Thanks.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear. not quite cursed shores but close enough.
You can get to Lions’s Arch free from anywhere by entering WvW or PvP.
Go to the Blood Coast Waypoint and enter Blood Coast. Swim across the lake and enter the instance in the cave by Deadend Waypoint. It’s the Chantry of Secrets. In the cave is an arch that takes you directly to Fort Trinity in the Straits of Dev. I believe you have to belong to whispers to use it. The other orders have similar gates.

About the only things it doesn’t provide is crafting stations and laurel vendors, but those are basically the easiest things possible to get. You can probably even find 15 different mob types around, though that might require a bit of hunting around.

Just think pinata and you got a blindfold on.
Really can’t see it being a problem in US/Can. But the best way —Amazon and it is in the mail box in a few days.
Looking in the terms and conditions on the back of a box I have, there is no mention of restrictions based on location.
Too much waypointing around (in OP)/ The cost doesn’t justify the rewards. Or the time if you are running and using the mists.
All on one map close to one waypoint is the way go. (I tend to use the Queensdale Vale too). I’ll have to try the Frostgorge one.
Gotta agree with ya. $24.99 (2000 Gem card) here in Canada, which converts to a little over 18 euro.
Got any family etc who live in Canada or US who could purchase and send the code?
Gem cards (2000) are readily available at Amazon.ca for 24.99.
That being said, the cards come in a sealed package, not associated to a name. It’s just a card with a code. You could likey buy them and just e-mail,voice, message the code # and you buddy types them in.
Yesterday my guild and me jumped into a map that the enemy had completely covered, we had no towers, keeps or anything………. we were just 10 people and some 10 more people following us around.
Not quite the solo PvE most are talking about.
Don’t know how to solve it, but I am at the end of map completion (96%) and really don’t care for WvW. But am running around trying to get all Poi and Vistas.So I will just jump into a WvW map, look for uncontested or unowned poi that I don’t have, grab them and leave. I may even join a fight for an area that I need. Forcing some players to play in a way they don’t want to or like is just poor design, ditto for the storyline that has to be completed as a group after being allowed and able to solo for every other aspect of the storyline. Many have complianed and made suggestions, but obviously Anet isn’t going to change it.
Actualy, it’s great design. Getting people out of their comfort zone and playing a way they’re not used to is a very good thing. It expands a persons horizons and may expose them to something that it turns out they do enjoy and just thought they didn’t.
If it turns out they still don’t like it, guess what, it’s over, they don’t have to go back, but having given it a try in the first place was still a good thing.
Nice thoughts for a philosophy class. LOL. There are many things that exist in the world that I don’t have to try/experience to know that I wouldn’t like. Could start a list but it would likely offend someone and be banned.
Many have tried it and (like I have, though I accept the misguided design decision), and have concluded that they don’t like it. There is no reason to have the last story forced MP and they could have easily made 2 100% map completion awards, one for each.
And yes most if not all go back and deal with the frustration to get the award. It’ just time consuming but possible.
BTW, I have read posts from WvW players who would like it removed too. (taking a space, not helping, taking supplies and not contibuting, attacking Minotaurs). No negative effect off your preferred game style, but plenty of negatives for those that prefer PvE.
Anyway thanks for the thoughts. (and lack of understanding ;-) ).

Been waiting for higher quality drops also, like above waiting for the update.
There will likey be a new map called ‘Blue Moon’ with a waypoint call ‘Once Inna’
@ Khisanth—is that true? I should get rid of all my magic find to increase my chances?
(edited by Blude.6812)
Just read your message Quatherin, so I alt/tab’d and started up the game—no prob connecting (NA—Eredon Terrace). So I guess not all are affected.
Ya, I had the same reaction to the pinata discription, lmao but also realised how right on the description is. Just did Boar, Great Oak, and Wasp Queen. I jumped into the middle of the the fight and couldn’t even see what the hell was going on with my character because of all the people fighting (like a blindfold) just keep swinging and hitting the keys only to move if my health needed it.
I beleive that was my problem trying to get support yesterday—couldn’t connect to the eu address, but game and forums were ok.
Thanks—been trying all day and just tried again (10:00 est) and it connected.
May a dev/mod can answer since no one did in the forun thread.
I cannot connect to support either through the services dropdown or the support link at the top of the page (both on the forums and main web page.
It tries and tries but doesn’t connect. Support down or links broke???
Is support down?
I can’t connect to support throught the “services” dropdown menu on the forum page or the link at the top of the forum page or main page.
Now that microsoft has announced that they are shutting down hotmail, Anet could be looking at a few tickets that require e-mail address changes.

Just goes to show it just a dumb addition to the game.
Yep, I have seen no credit for revives when doing the dailies. A decent place is around the Vet Boars in Queensdale. I just stand around until the boars kill the hunters-revive them and wait for the boars to kill them again. I didn’t get credit for all the revives that I did.
I hate both Daily Healer and Daily Veteran Slayer.
I was unable to complete my daily yesterday because it took me so long to trey finding some NPCs to rez that stupid thing turned over (For some reason the daily event resets at 7pm est on my server. Maybe I accidentally joined a EU server?)
Nope, that is when it resets (I am est too on a NA server). It really is a crappy time.
Noon or midnight would make more sense and by server not one time for all and made inconvenient by what time zone you live in.
I’ll rememebr this place and thanks. Having said that, it’s really a dumb daily requirement(among some of the others). Just another gold sink IF you are spending money jumping around to go to easy and quick areas to score dailies. It’s fine if you are loaded, not so much if you aren’t and the rewards don’t justify it . Kind of reminds me of my university bar hopping.
You Tube has tons of videos for just about everything in the game. Here’s a link to the graveyard vista.
Just curious—how many have said yes because thet have someone else (mom/dad) who foots the bill.
If no traders are close or on the map, it’s always PvP tab through the mists and the LA gate.
I don’t worry about the bank since I have permanent bank access from anywhere.
The game has improved. There are fewer bugs now, though plenty still exist.
The game is deeper the more time you spend with it. If you roamed around the maps completing hearts and doing Dynamic events, got bored, then left, then you probably won’t find anything of value now, either.
It’s a big game with a lot of details and alot of things to do, should you choose to research and pursue them.
Naively optimistic or reluctantly cynical, i can’t tell which.
the ’it’s a big game………research and pursue..’——equivilent of lots of boring useless stuff you can find to do——-but the main game —not so much. (Reluctantly cynical? an FB in transition).
The game was much better at launch—but that was because we didn’t know better and it was fresh and new—-since then—-not as enthusiastic about that game as it’s many flaws and shortcomings become more obvious.
