Guild Wars 2

Bartosz.2013:

haha its good to have every fractal weapon, dunno why i see them so rarely now, drops were much better before fractured patch…my record was 5 or 6 weapons in a row on 48 back then

duude that’s like 2x the skins i have xD
and i completed fractal frequenter like 2 or 3 times xD
I wish i was playing before fractured :/

Today I ran a lvl 50 with 4 other pugs and I got nothing, but that’s not why i’m making this post… One of the pugs got a fractal sword skin. I was really happy for him first, but then he said it was his 3rd fractal sword skin, so he deleted it :/
Now, i’ve been running fractals everyday since the fractured release, never got a fractal sword, and RNG hits again. A fractal sword dropped and someone who already have the skin got it?!? :/
it’s not the first time it happens and it needs to stop. WoW’s raid’s reward system is really better in term of design because if you already got the skin/item that dropped, you actually leave your group members a chance to have it!!
#fractalbrokenreward

Please someone explain to him why everyone stack and why nobody likes rangers
*cough" BOON SHARING

oops!!

beastie.4536:

I’ve recorded down my fractal loot after the May 20th patch which is suppose to improve the drop rate. To me the drop rate is still the same, 29 runs 30-40 hrs spent. 1 Trident skin(I alrdy have 3 fractal trident skin) 1 defender’s ascended chest of gloves and thousands of useless fractal relics. I think it’s time for me to give up on fractal it’s completely waste of time.

I really hope anet can adopt the dungeon token system on fractal. I dont care if a fractal skin or ascended chests is gonna cost us thousands of fractal relics but at least we have a realistc goal we can work on instead leaving everythig to rngesus.

I also did a lot of fractals since the 20th (1 or 2 per day) but sadly I wasn’t lucky like you (well, if getting a fractal trident IS luck lmao)
No fractal skins and no ascended chests
50% I got nothing, the rest i got useless rings
broken end-game reward design
see you in WS

Same bug here, MARK stays friendly
it needs to be fixed!!! having to redo the whole path hopeing that it doesn’t bug again is a huge turn off

not just in queensdale

I thought i’d post something here, because it’s just ridiculous, I do at least 1 fractal per day since “fractured” (the updated rewards got me interested, one of my goal now is to get every fractal weapons), I completed Fractal Frequenter a long long long LONG time ago, I got thousands and THOUSANDS of useless fractal relics, almost a hundred of pristines, more ascended rings that i can count.
but yeah…
I can hear you asking: “what about your goal? how many fractal skins do you have?”
well

2
…………..
yep, that’s right :/ only 2, after spending countless hours doing 38+, it’s pathetic.

my question is: Why Anet, Why does the prettiest skins rely on some dumb kitten RNG crap? you have a currency (fractal relics), why not make the skins purchasable with relics? Fractal is your end game content, the progression with the instability is really awesome, but the rewards?? they are completely kittening and off-track…

Chuck Nizzle.6283:

The only thing I am disliking so far is that one merchant. You can buy a lot of the older backpacks, including the sclerite karka shell and the slikpack. I worked hard to get those, and someone shouldn’t be able to just grind some tokens and buy them. Granted, it IS 1600 tokens, but still….

At the end of the day, you’re the only one who feel bad about this. Everyone else are happy to get the last few skins they couldn’t get before because of personal restrictions, either it be final’s weeks, holidays in cuba, or a trip to the hospital for a broken arm. You’re not special because you logged in everyday for 600 days, you don’t deserve them more than someone who COULDN’T do anet’s temporary content. So, Anet, I thank you SO MUCH for bringing these skins back, i’ve been dying to get fervid censer and the zephirite helm THANKS!!

SAB PERMANENT CONTENT PLIZZ

I ran PingPlotter (recommended by Anet’s support) and, out of 21 lines, I had 4 lines at 100% packet loss, all the other lines were at 0%-5% (mostly 0%) so I called my ISP, gave them the specific IPs with the high packet loss and supposedly they’ll “work on it”, that’s something you could do too.

still having this weird bug

I just did a test, i ran an internet test on pingtest.net while i was having problems with GW2 (GW2 did disconect during the test) and i got this result
I still need help, I got a really good internet connection, but GW2 is unplayable with this constant lag

yeah, I freeze for 5-10 seconds then get kicked out to the login screen, but i’m still able to join back into the servers which is really weird. it probably doesn’t mean anything, but most of the day, my connection is really stable with 22-32ms except a few hours where it’s horrible like i described

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Hey all, we’ve seen a few reports on this floating around, so the team taking a look at this. We don’t know the cause yet, or an ETA for when we might figure it out, but we just wanted you all to know that this is being looked into.

i’m glad you guys are looking into this, i did ONE spvp today, and I disconected like 5 times during the match, so i’m kinda avoiding pvp for now, because i’ve heard a few people got dishonorable from lag :/

definitely bugged, the NPCs you have to talk to are all spawned on the trees and the cubs are all running around in front of the house.

Nice i just got another error! because this wasn’t complicated enough already

From time to time i’m having weird disconnects, idk what causes this, and when it happens, my internet is fine everywhere except GW2 (can use browser and load videos on youtube), it can happen for quite some time. It just kicks me out of the servers to the character selection screen, that shows me that i’m not losing connection.
i’m posting here because I want to find a solution, it just happened in a spvp match and i got kicked out 5-6 times during the match -_- (resulting in a loss obviously)
it started yesterday night, I was trying to play pvp but i couldn’t even stay connected for the duration of a match

here’s the errors i’m getting
i’m also getting launcher error 42:0:9001:4344

I have no idea if it’s a bug with a few models only, but I realized that the icon of my character wearing the hat (when i talk to an NPC) has bunny ears and not cute round bear ears.
I confirmed this with a friend, the icon when she selected me has bunny ears too, it’s quite annoying and looks funny

VitalSuit.1980:

It’s a change not a bug. If you hover your mouse over the item you will see “Transmuted ____” stating what is transmuted ontop of it. It’s a really stupid change but it’s not a bug unfortunately.

This HAVE to be a bug, you clearly don’t understand what the name switching does to a lot of unique skins, it made them horrible and not fun to use/ping. Ex: Fractal skins aren’t fractal weapons anymore, they’re “berserker’s pearl crap” Backpieces are also ruined, and all the gemstore skins too, since you have to transmute them, they don’t have stats in the first place

Only thing i’m kittened about is that my PVP gear got taken away, and I HAVE to pay to get them back (lets do the math, armor set = 6 pieces + weapons = 4. 6 + 4 equals 10, though we got a few TC for free, it’s not even enough to regear ONE character)
and your PVP weapons don’t have a designed place in a Hero’s PVP pannel (like we had before patch), so if you do both PVP and PVE on one character, you’ll have your PVP items take places in your inventory while you’re doing PVE and other side works too, this will be quite annoying…

Avril is April in french :P

I forgot to post CS’s answer in OP, but they did reject it, or else I wouldn’t made a post on the forums lol

CS wrote:
“Thanks for contacting the Guild Wars 2 Support Team.

As a general rule, we are not able to replace items or refund currencies, and that is true in the case of the items that you have requested.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns."

I just don’t think it’s fair to apply “general rules” in this situation.

Yesterday I contacted CS because I got hit by a bug that anyone could’ve failed for it and lost quite a bit of gold, here was my ticket:

“i’m building a personal guild bank for extra storage, this morning I got on and I saw that the “Build Queue” was empty, so I thought the upgrade was done (Architecture 4, costs 10000 inf or 20g) so i attempted to upgrade the Treasure Trove next only to find out that I did NOT complete Architecture 4….. I was quite shocked by the potentially huge mathematical mistake by my part, how did I not buy the correct amount of influence needed a week ago??…. anyway I bought 10k more influence and attempted to Queue architecture 4, but it didn’t want to work, so I relogged and tried again thinking that the servers are slow with adding the recently bought influence only to find out that the interface wasn’t working right 5 minutes ago and the Architecture 4 was STILL IN QUEUE!! (needed 6 more hours to complete) so here I am, I just lost 20g because of the guild queue interface lag, so I’d like to know if it’s refundable, because it is a bug on your part. I do not think it’s hard to do either, just revert the 10k influence I recently bought, it would be greatly apreciated, thanks!!"

I know I read somewhere that they do not revert player mistakes or refund currencies because they think they put enough warnings, but this situation is not MY mistake…
I think it’s really unfair, they should have a rule for special situations where their server may be laggy or glitchy

did this ever happened to anyone else?

Look at the date

All my characters are female charrs, I didn’t really like the male’s aggressive faces or their lion tail xD

this is two of my kitties

I would understand if hair would dissapear if you were wearing a massive helm or a hood, but I just crafted my Heavy ascended helm for my charr and I noticed something really stupid… the crown, even though it’s on my forehead, hides all my hair.
Really there should be someone checking hair styles and how they would match with certain helms so this situation NEVER happens, it’s just really frustrating.
I guess the only solution is to wear invisible helms on a charr
poor charrs…

Definitely bugged, or the description of the achievement is lacking informations
I completed “in tune”, “no more tricks” and “no free lunch” at least 5 times each (no free lunch i tried at least 10times for sure) and none worked

last run I had 3 chests from all 3 bosses, next one i looted only one, what’s weird is that i didn’t get loot from a boss while my friend (in my party) got one.
:lllll

Yep, same in overflow

We waited countless months for this LW, and what do we get?
We can’t kill scarlet directly because we have to do an event that is too hard to complete, and when we complete it, either it bugs and we can’t enter the instance or we enter and we get a server crash…
I wasted 3 hours trying to get through this, I can finally say that scarlet got me, i give up, scarlet, we won many battles, but you won the fight…

I know it depends on the lighting and what’s behind the halo (because it’s awefully transparent) but this image shows how flat the halo is at low settings, I wish it would have just a little more opacity (maybe 20-30% more) and it would be good I think.

This definitely needs a fix Anet, with some lightings it gets impossible to see the halo. It should’ve been more gold-like and less transparent imo :/

I already have a bad luck of having a squishy ele as a main that now, because tailor is my only leveled crafting station, i get hit by Anet even HARDER because i have to pay 5000% more of what a heavy class would pay, for the same result.
First, Light ascended armor took 50% more gold to craft than heavy, now 5000% more costly for a back piece?? The opposite would actually make sense, a heavy could pay more to get this, because they have more base damage, health and everything.. but for light armor? I don’t understand.

Idk if it’s a bug, but it happened a few times where I had nothing in the end daily chest, no rings or anything, just 1g + empyreal fragments (lvl 30+). Considering it takes 1-2 hours to complete it, fractals aren’t rewarding enough, especially with the ninja nerf on the fractal skins.

What do you want them to tell you? You already know it’s lagging, and if you have a guild or went to LA then you know it’s not on your end, if it’s a technical problem on their part, then I just told you that they were having troubles a few days ago and it is happening again, that’s how conversation works, you don’t need a red flag to be sure on what’s happening, you can use your own logic, and be aware that if it’s a Ddos then there’s nothing they can really do, it all depends on the quality of their servers and how much GB/s they can handle, so I do not think they could “work on the issue”, unless they manually reset the servers and risk a rollback which would be way worse than your 30 minute lag right?

If you are so needy that you want a red post everytime that something unexpected happened in your game, then i’m sorry but they are not your slaves, they have devs online 24/7 so yes, to answer OP, they are aware of the issue. Now i’m gonna redirect you to a red post that says clearly that they are aware of the lag: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Scarlet-hit-the-servers-or-what/first

RockDemon.3627:

Arenanet,

Most of the content in this game, both original and newly patched in, requires players to participate and succeed in long, complex event chains to gain final rewards. We’ve seen this with PvE events such as Fractals and other dungeon instances to “Open World Events” such as Twisted Marionette, Temple of Balthazaar, etc. We also see the same dedication and uninterrupted play required to take major objectives in WvWvW such as Bay, Hills, Garrison, and StoneMist Castle.

I’ve experienced terrible lag the last several nights to the point the game is unplayable, and totally interrupts any big events I may be in the middle of with my friends.

Most of the core community takes part in the bigger and harder events that take time and requires us to be logged in for extended periods without lagging out or interruption of service. Some of us even use premium Internet service and Proxy services to get the best possible connection in our area.

The users’ efforts, time, and expense are all wasted on your game if your servers and security are terrible. Enough said. You needed to get this fixed days ago, or people will take their money elsewhere to games like Wildstar and Elder Scrolls.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Lag-and-DC-are-getting-ridiculous/first#post3637613

Wildstar and Elder Scrolls will fall to these attacks the same as GW2, if this is what’s happening. DDoS attacks are not a problem on ANet’s end any more than they are on our end.

^ this so much this +9001
people keep commenting about Anet being a bad company because they can’t do anything against this “lag”, but people like you just make the ignorants follow you and hate the company for something that is out of reach and can’t be fixed like a server crash, if it’s a Ddos (btw someone is taking credit of these attacks on twitter) then Anet can’t do anything about it but wait until the attacks are over.
Do you remember when the government’s websites got completely shut down by a Ddos? Imagine the same thing on Anet’s servers. Be happy your game isn’t unavailable for a whole week.

They are aware of this, I think they merged topics the other day, but they did post around 10 posts about this lag, look up on the forum before attacking them because now it makes you look like a… anyway
If it’s a Ddos, there is nothing they could do but wait until the attack is over.
there’s a lot of speculation about “kitten trolling”, now if it’s true or not nobody knows, lets just hope for the best.

Yep, servers crashed

4 months to change a “-” for a “+”

+1
fix please
or update their description
idk if it is refundable, if you bug the support enough you’ll probably get your relics back, it’s quite frustrating when you bought a lot of them (I bought 7 on my ele) without knowing they were bugged

A weird bug happened a few minutes ago in EB (TC/SoS/FA) where everyone got teleported to their respective spawn location. I think it’s the first time it ever happened? Idk what caused this, it isn’t really game breaking since it doesn’t happen often and doesn’t adventage a team, I just thought i’d put this here to let the devs know about this?

same happened to me, now I can’t get back in the game yaay

What am I supposed to do? Anet says to report them, but with the current system we aren’t really able to, because party chat goes away -_-
I did TA u/u with a group and at the end of the run, right when the boss was about to die, two people (in the same guild) kicked someone for no reasons, I asked them why and they said to not ask….. decided to not bother with this.
Then we used the LFG to find someone else and ran TA forward, I didn’t think they would do the same thing again…. but they did, they kicked me right at the end, for absolutely no reasons -_-
of course I could report the one who used the LFG, but what about the others? and i’m not sure if he’s the one who kicked me :l

As the title said, I keep getting connections problems in AC P3, it seems to be the only dungeon and path affected for some reasons, I can’t play more than 5 minutes without getting a severe lag spike kicking me to the loging screen, it started happening yesterday, I thought i was having internet problems but it stopped right after finishing the path (which I didn’t get credited because it kicked me during the boss fight)
Anyone have any idea for a possible fix?? or am i the only one with this kind of issue?

And then the devs say that these hard events help building a good community.
rrrright

Same as OP, I succesfully killed every champions and i did dodge scarlet’s attacks (and even remember being out of the orange circle) but I got none of the avoiding achievements. Please Anet fix these achievements

“We are aware that the utilisation of embers in some areas are causing server side performance issues so we’re going to upgrade our servers to handle what the players throw at us, we didn’t think summons like embers and ogre pets would affect the gameplay like this when we first implemented them, me and the other devs appreciate your ingenuity with these kinds of items and this change was in our wishlist for a long time, because we want you to play the game how YOU want to play it.”
Yes I made this up… sadly I think this kind of posts happens not often enough… on every game I played, it seems like the devs likes to “fix” non bugged aspects of their games leaving the item/skill totally useless.

and the mantle hides the fire from my Incinerator on my arm -_-
it’s a pretty armor, but it has a lot of bugs with it

seems like a bad timing to me with your lightning flash. (it could turn red as soon as you click it and you wouldn’t know)
but Ride of lightning do seems glitchy, sometimes I don’t even stop at 1200 and continue for about 600 additional range

Me and my team did AC p2, we set two traps only because nobody needs 3 traps to kill the boss… we did everything fine and only needed 1 trap to kill the boss, but then none of us got dailies -_-
i’m sure I didn’t do this path this “day”, so it’s nothing on our end.
Anet, fix your things…
