see picture Could this be our new 3 lanes world boss?
The best way i see this working is for the tag of the forum specialists to only be seen by A-net employees. This way the posts stand out to them, but for everybody else they’re just users. No tag to see means no harrasment. But their contribution can be clearly seen by those that need to.
For all the negativity in this thread, I will mention three things:
- The silent treatment is typically reserved for interviews and, more of, forum posts. This is PAX South, and more importantly, this is in the main theater. This wouldn’t be in the main theater if it was something small like beating around the bush that we’ve been getting for a year or so.
- Arenanet has told us – with a recent (weeks ago) reaffirmation by Massively – that they have big background projects going on since at least January 2014 (planned, that is). This is likely it.
- Given the wording, it isn’t going to be a traditional expansion (or other traditional means of content release for MMOs), nor will it be more Living World (aka Season 3). It’s something else.
Whether this turns out to be something grand or something poor… We will have to see.
What if… they’re announcing not an expantion but a new campain! Like with gw1 where you could buy factions, but not need proffesies to play it.
But if you combine them, you could cross continents.
I think when the pact finaly has enough time and resourses that they can send a ship in Cantha’s direction. they’ll find that the Luxons and the jade sea are completly gone. Melted away completly in 250 years.
The Kruzic forest is over grown, ruins of a lost past still there but its inhabitants were killed long ago. Al though you might find some Dredge there that are friendly. Since those have the forest and lands to them selves for almost 200 years now.
Shing Jea Island, you can find under water off the coast, its buildings coverd in algea. The result of Orr raising and the tidal wave that destroyed LA.
Cantha’s coast currently are buildings build on the ruins in the water who once up on a time were where people lived before that too got flooded.
The Cantha of today barely resembles that of its past. A tsunami having drowned a large part of its great city. Instead its a city of bamboo build againt the ruins of times past. With many bridges everywhere, along with rope-lifts and the like.
The Luxons, thought to be dead, drowned with their jade sea, are infact now living under it. 250 years of underwater life has evolved them to no longer be human so much as more manta ray like. They call them selves Largos now. Using the whole of their underwater land as their hunting grounds.
It was hard, making this change, but with their home litterally melting under them, and
the Cantha Ministery all but ready to declare war. This was the only way to at least preserve some of their belief and way of life. be it underwater.
The Cantha Ministery saw this as an afftront and the conflic is what drove the Largos to
shun human and land dwelling species.
And in the very tips of the echoval forest, you can, if you look closely. Find the very last tribe of tengu. They hid them selves there and their coloring very much matches their surounding. They build a home there. but they too are very aware that humans and ground dwellers are very dangerouse.
So thats what i see being Cantha today.
I’d love a mini blimp as my mail delivery thing. Or an Undead Orr bird? Or the Charr helicopter (from that one even chain)
Or a Skritt with some balloons tied to him. That pop after he’d deliverd the mail.
Really anything that flies works as mail delivery,
This has been like that since launch. :/
have you payed the skritt before hand?
or you can look for the command codes on the wiki here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments
You do realise that most RMT’s don’t buy the accounts they use, they steal them. Using all kinds of tricks to phish for your login to get in your account.
Also, this is the bugs sub forum. And from the sound of it everything you mentioned is working as intended.
Sarah Witter thank you for your fast and hard work getting us our TP back
there is the -repair command you could try first. saves you from having to redownload.
You could just wait untill another Norn shows up? I thought the tutorial is kinda like gw1’s presearing? Everybody starts in there.
I did a -repair again, this fixed it for me. Duno if it helps anybody else though.
The interface is now working, i can see what i have up now.
But when i try to sell an item, either by listing it or by selling it to the highest buy order. It gives me a red error.
So no, its not 100% fixed yet.
I’m on Europe.
in settings theres a part where you can check a box and it stops doing that.
Good, between the Trade post issues and the gems issues. its better to just take offline completly and fix what crashed.
Thank you for letting us know you’re investigating the issue.
So far, its looking like the trade post crashed.
update: did a game repair. No effect. I think its server side.
yes me too, see other topic of the BLTC not working.
I can reach the gems, but i can’t sell anything, or look at what i’m currently selling at all.
I get a long loading and then an error code: 42:0:9001:4409:101 with an OK button. which i have to click between 5 and 10 times and with each click my screen gets lighter.
I play on Europe, Currently in LA.
best version i’ve ever seen of the story. you lot are awesome!
Controversal Topics that I see around this thread.
- Scaling- Should Raids be rigid to make balancing easier or, should Raids be very flexible so that all guilds can be more inclusive to their members?
- Difficulty- Should Raids be easy enough for casual players, or should raids be difficult so it requires skill on the risk of excluding casual player.
- Stacking- What steps should be taken to remove stacking or should it even be removed at all?
- AI- What AI should be in place?
- Rewards- How rewarding should Raids be?
- Punishment- How punishing should failing a raid be? How punishing should dying be?
These are all really excellent questions! I would love to see some drilling down into these specifics with your proposals.
Hi, I’ve been following these CDI topic’s, its awesome. So here’s my 5 cents on the subject of guild raiding.
- Scaling: Scaling should be dynamic based on both player level and Raid difficulty setting.
- Difficulty: There should be 3 difficulty settings. Easy, Veteran and Hardcore. This way both the experienced and the new to the game players can enjoy the content. I my self only play Story mode dungeons because the explore tracks are to difficult to play for me. And i know i’m not alone in that. Not everybody is a hardcore GW2 player, but everybody should have the option to enjoy raiding. Hence the 3 difficulty stages.
- Stacking: Some people love this, others hate it. I think if you put in some mechanics that spreads a groups raid. Like how the Marionette worked. (In fact, that content would work great for a large guilds raid.) However its nice if you mixes it up. Some raid missions that allow stacking, some that don’t. People will pick what they like to do best. everybody happy.
- AI: I think AI of whatever we’re fighting, should be on par with the raids difficulty setting. So that On the higher difficulty settings, player actually have to think of how to fight their opponents.
- Rewards: Rewards should scale with difficulty setting. but still be awesome. Like perhaps some type of armor or weapon skins you can only get from those raids. This way, people can do what they love best in GW2, show off!
- Punishment: In Easy mode, i think the same mechanics for re-spawn currently in story mode dungeons is fine. For Veteran, re-spawn should be on a timer. Like if you die, you have to wait X-time till you can re-spawn at the way point. On Hardcore, i’d say, if you’re dead, you’re dead! Only option to keep playing is if a player rezzes you. And if its party wipe, its game over. This is to reflect the true difficulty and in return the epic awesomeness when you win. The rewards there for should also reflect this.
So theres my idea. I think I’ve allowed plenty room for both the casual player and the epic hard core ones, and everything in-between to feel that raiding with their guild(s) are fun.
Hello,
Vita Splintervein here.
As recently promoted Legionnaire of the Splinter warband. It is my duty to inform the people that we are recruiting.
Things you need to know before you apply for a spot on our roster:
We are a charr warband connected to the pact. However our orders come mostly from the Black citadel.
At this time, non-charr applicants can not apply. However this might change in the future.
We are very much warband and military orientated. So if you can not follow orders. Don’t bother to apply.
However, if you’re a bad-kitty. And you think you have what it takes to be part of one of the best warbands around. You can apply on our website:
http://splinter-warband.enjin.com
Or send me a message by courier.
OOC:
We are a small but tight guild on Piken Square. We have weekly activities that include both RP and guild missions/PvE/Dungeons.
We don’t fuss over members being part of other guilds too, as long as you represent the guild during guild activities, its fine.
We do however require you to log in regularly.
So if you love playing Guildwars 2 and would love to Roleplay your charr with us, or even create a charr just so you can RP him/her with us. Let me know.
All applicants who are serious in their desire to join our warband will of course be tested IC, to see if they are a good fit of The Splinter warband.
You can find a lot of RP guilds here: www.guildwars2roleplayers.com

www.guildwars2roleplayers.com is a good place to look for an RP guild.
I’d like to share what happened to me just now due to the fact that party merging has no confirm option.
I was in a group of 4 players (my self included) wanting to do the story mode. We had trouble finding a 5th. So we decided to try and see how far we could get. Figuring any 5th would be able to join us at an time.
Half way through the dungeon we lost a player. Don’t know if that was due to IRL or other possibilities.
So, with 3 members and up against the lovers bosses, we decided to wait for 2 more.
Now here comes the not fun part:
Some “elite” thought he’d get a party for his Path whatever fast by merging some groups together. Only because story mode and explore mode are in the same search, and the guy wasn’t paying attention. He merged his explore party with our story mode party.
Result: we got dumped out of our half finished dungeon, and then i got kicked from the "elite"’s party because he realized his “mistake” to late.
On top of that, it happened so fast that chat didn’t register who caused it. So i couldn’t even “thank” the guy. for the wasted half hour.
It’s with these situations that an extra confirm option can prevent. It really wouldn’t stop parties from forming, it would prevent accidental party merges that weren’t as intended.
First of all, I adore the LFG tool. its awesome!
But I’d like to see one tiny change to the dungeons category.
Namely that there is some way to keep story mode parties from accidentally join explore mode parties.
Right now if the party leader doesn’t pay attention. He can merge a Story mode party with an explore mode party. Which can cause some problems and friction.
So if theres some check-boxes you could check to clearly state which dungeon parts your party is planning on doing. People wont get a surprise when parties are merged.
Other than this, the tool is amazing. Kudo’s to the guys who made it for sure!
Where: White Paper Hill
(Timberline Falls)
Which event: Escort the Order of Whispers team to the grawl camp
Event type: Dynamic event.
Server: Piken square
Bug: The npc’s wont move. They will move to attack foes but then return to where they got stuck. Letting them die doesn’t help, because they just wait to be ressed again.
I’m sad that i missed it the first time around.
I wouldn’t mind if the special effect would be different, so that the other one is still special and unique. But for practical reasons I’d love to spend gems on this.
So when we create a character they come with their own set of town clothing.
And the Gem shop has a lot more.
However those outfits are all very general, one outfit fits all, kind of things.
They’re cool yes! But not what I’d like to be wearing when I’m hanging out in town.
What I’d love to see is more race specific town clothing. This can either be gem store stuff or karma stuff or just the rewards for an living story thing.
But besides the Karma race armors there isn’t any plant clothing for my Sylvari.
Also and this might be radical, but wouldn’t it be possible for an Sylvari and Asura to team up to create plant clothing for everybody? I bet it would look awesome on certain characters.
Just my idea/hope/wish.
What am I not getting here? Certainly there is some kind of bank for storage
Posted by: DBZVelena.5186
the bank can be found in each city by looking at the yellow icon with the bag symbol. there you talk to the np and it opens up your account bag. It also has a tab for crafting materials.
When you chose to right click on them and send them your bank that is where they go.
Ya can indeed access that when you’re in a crafting area.
Guild leader of Clan of the Twilight on the Piken Square server.
After last update the representing of the guild got fixed but i still can’t edit the rank system.
I am guild leader of Clan of the Twilight [MOON] on server Piken Square.
My guild members for some reason can not represent the guild. Making me the only one earning any favor.
Also can not edit ranks or daily message.
I created the guild with my Charr: Veros Splitnight, because when i tried with my Sylvari: Velena Maxwell it wouldn’t work.
But now I’m the only one representing.
Also when talking in guild chat nobody hears me, but i don’t get a message that nobody hears me.
Pets as in the animals you see running around are all from rangers.
You as an engineer can have a pet-turret and such.
Or you can get a non-combat mini-pet
But the Animals are a Ranger feature.
If that’s the case then its a bug and he should report it in the bug forum.
In GW2 there is a thing called dynamic events. Thats your end game. you get your first taste of it as you have created your first character.
Besides that, there are dungeons (5 people raid instances), WvW and PvP (5 vs 5)
Because of those dynamic events and the fact that you get down-graded to the zone/area level allows for the whole game to be “end game” like.
The only thing you wont find in the lvl 80 zones that you do in the low level zones are Hearts.
Asking what the “best” class is in GW2 is like asking everybody what they like to play best.
It really doesn’t matter which you pick, each class can fulfill any of the “holly trinity”.
My advice: Pick what you think might be most fun to play. Then if you find its not as much fun as you first thought, first try a different weapon set, before you go re-roll a character. Every class has a long and short range kind of weapon. Also, when in doubt about stuff, ask people in chat. You’d be surprised how helpful everybody is being. _
Those two pets should be out in the world somewhere, you can try looking them up on the wiki. there might be locations on it there.
I know they’re not HoM pets though!
Ya can display your title by going to you heroes tab, then go to Achievements. Right under your total points number there is the title drop down box. any title you have earned can be selected there.
Currently there is still an issue occasionally with grouping and overflow servers.
In short, an overflow server happens when the normal zone is very crowded. (Don’t know the exact number of players, sorry)
When people enter the crowded zone, they get auto directed to the overflow. You also get in an virtual line for the normal server. Once its your turn, you get a box offering to join the normal zone or re-join the virtual line for the zone.
If you want to play with your friends however, you can right-click on their names in your friends list and select “invite to party”. If you’re not already in a party of 5 it should give them a box telling them you asked them to join your party.
Once in a party, if you’re on different overflow zones, or one is in the overflow and the other in the normal zone, you can right click their portrait in your party and chose to join their zone.
But even this can occasionally be bugged. So don’t scream at me if it doesn’t work ;p

I believe they’re still researching how exactly it works. But it can’t hurt to see on the wiki how far they are.
At http://www.systemrequirementslab.com ya can check if your pc can run whatever game you like, yes GW2 is in their list.
However If you want better than minimum, there should be some recommendations on GW2Guru and/or the wiki
Thanks I didn’t know that’s where ya need to look.
Night/day cycle is zone specific. In fact it can be night in the normal server and day in the overflow server at the same time. It runs on a timer.
Yes you can re-use nodes. I don’t know the exact timing of it though.
Ok, before i had armor and weapons which allowed me to Master salvage them and i’d have a chance to get the rune or sigil off them. Yes even after wearing them.
Now i can only salvage them off non-soulbound weapons. When I try with soulbound weapons they turn red.
I really hope this isn’t as intended.
