Guild Wars 2

The guy in charge of this said he already fixed it and that it will be placed in the game on the 12th. The only thing I can say until then is to keep submitting tickets…

Nah its cool, I prefer to have a few full maps than a bunch of underpopulated garbage maps. The only reason you wasted time on TT is because you didn’t taxi into a good map.

I 100% agree, anet excuses the costs by saying its a guild effort but then a single player unlocks it and is free to leave the guild? Imagine if a player could leave the guild and take the workshop upgrades with them to their new guild. This is basically the same thing.

I already know tons of people who play GW2 with PS3/4 and Xbox/one controllers. As for porting the game to consoles no thank you. MMOs on consoles never work unless they were planned for console from the beginning a cheap port will be a waste of money. So if you want to play using a controller then do it, nobody is stopping you.

If you want to play a subscription based game then go play one, otherwise leave this one alone. I don’t understand people like you. You’re the same as those people who keep trying to get the trinity into GW2 (no, the trinity isn’t in GW2 right now, the way healing and tanking works in GW2 is very far from the trinity and can be done by almost anybody) when there are tons of games with a trinity they could be playing.

Also I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t buy that it can’t use a party because it is tied to PvP excuse one bit. I can queue for pvp with my party. Parties work in PvP, this is a cop-out and we shouldn’t let them get away with it. Honesty is key, I’d much prefer a “We just don’t want to put resources into this because we feel blah, blah and blah are more important.” over what sounds like something a PR person came up with that means nothing.

shadow.6174:

Obviously I don’t know how the underlying systems are and such then it’s just a guessing but, like a programmer myself, it feels like tying activities with others game modes like PvP was a dumb move (no offense intended). I know decisions like that are made in order to recycle resources and such but here is a clear example why sometimes it’s not a good idea: you change a thing for a mode and then break another. It’s like sleeping with a short blanket, you cover your head and your feet get uncovered. I apologize if the thing is more complex than that, there must be reasons for it has been done.

Well, I just hope a way to fix this will be found, but I wouldn’t hold my breath to it being fixed for the next Wintersday :/

I wouldn’t count on it, based on the red response we got in this thread it is clear that they don’t care about this being broken. They are doing everything they can to make this game unplayable with friends. They’ve had over 2 years to fix this now and they didn’t even put any effort into it. It would have been better off not being included than being included as the mess it is now.

Andraus.3874:

I never noticed this being an issue and I did map completion for all the maps pretty easily. It takes longer than a normal map but it takes way less time than normal world completion.

Eh… I disagree. Its way less work to map complete a HoT map than most normal maps. No hearts, plus gliding. The only hard part of map completing HoT is that some things are dependent on certain parts of the meta being done or active. Which isn’t that big of a deal if you plan your map completion to a specific time. Basically HoT maps are easy, but this is about JP not map completion so idk.

alwinp.2791:

Prove me wrong with a link where a dev stated it will actually get added.

But I see these same comments in every topic again: “yes, they will add legendary armor soon”

When is soon anyway?

People have been saying this before the game launched, then have been hyped up about it somewhere inbetween the season 1 ending & beginning of episode 2. Now here we are with the first xpac and still no legendary armor.

Something tells me it just isen’t going to happen.

Press the back page on your browser and read all the rage threads about winter presence

If people are already crying over ONE item that is locked behind a grindfest imagine how the community would react if they did so with 6 pieces, probably with much more grind then the current JP farm drink fest they added in with the festival.

And as long as this lazy community keeps ranting about every bit of grind they add in this game I don’t see how this will give anet any reason to reconsider it at all.

My 2 cents

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legendary_Armor
…. some of us already have the collections unlocked. What are you going on about?

Malediktus.9250:

I fixed that by using the experimental rifle in HoT for jumping

that’s even scarier when it explodes

Pop stability before you use the rifle jump.

Gaab.4257:

Wow. I don’t like spoilers either but I don’t see any particular reason that BY ITSELF ALONE it would be something to report in a game. Can anyone please point out for me the relevant text in the game’s license that forbids it?

While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.
Repeatedly spamming spoilers in map chat and lfg is straight up harassment and griefing and SHOULD be met with the appropriate response of a suspension.

Mitch.4781:

How is this even relevant to GW2. If it had of been any otehr film than Star Wars, this thread would have been deleted long ago.

God, people are such lemmings.

Why would it have been? Its a thread about people griefing in map chat. Star Wars just happens to be the topic of the moment. Griefing is against the rules in general. I’m not sure how anybody could try to justify spoiling things for people as something other than being a jerk for the sake of being a jerk.

Stars Wars will be spoiled that’s simply the way things work, if it’s not here it will be somewhere else. Sorry it matters to you but I really doubt there is a TOS infraction for that.

This. I really hate it when people are so uptight about spoilers (which I go out of my way to find so I can enjoy other parts of the movie and not be worried about stuff like I’ll be less shocked and sad if a character I like died…if only I had some personal story spoilers when I started this game )

that’s your prerogative, but at the same time you should respect everyone who wishes to enjoy the film without ‘spoilers’, which… spoil the experience. hence the name. i truly believe anyone who intentionally spoils star wars for people is heartless and probably a very lonely individual.

Or you could just realise that the internet is full of kittens and – oh here’s a good idea – stay away from the internet if you don’t want spoilers. There are many options to block people or even turn off chat entirely.

You have more than enough options to deal with not wanting spoilers. Utilise them.

Shouldn’t have to turn off map chat to avoid spoilers for a movie that is less than a week old. If you purposely spoil stuff in map chat you should be banned. It is essentially griefing and griefing is against the rules.

Report them for griefing and move on. It is against the rules to ruin peoples day just for the sake of doing it.

Just for that I’m tempted to sell my 2 stacks of 250 a copper each…
posts like these makes me sick…
some people are:
a) unable to complete JP due to physical disabilities
b) unable to complete JP because their hand coordination is just not on par
c) truly truly truly hate JP

Calling it laziness is undeserved and pathetic, their own capabilities or willingness doesn’t impact your own.

A) This game is a casual game, and if you are unable to complete JP, that’s not the worlds problem, then you shouldn’t do it on the first place, you have choirs bell. That’s Just bad excuse on disabled people. Pathetic.
B) Check answer A)
C) Check answer B )

D) If you can grind money for it, then you can do Point C) and work your kitten for it, or pay normal price 8 silver.

“normal price” hahaha, whatever bro. I am going to start selling all mine for like 4silver.

C E P H U S.4102:

The Toypocalypse Turrets we place, put us in combat when they are in combat. The entire event is in slow motion. In a game where everyone seems to want to go faster. I cannot imagine this is intentional, but rather a bug worth reporting.

Slower is not fun; not much else to say there.

You’re in combat speed because you’re in combat. Your catapults and snowmen etc put you in combat because you are in combat.

Farming Flats.5370:

Answer is simple : you can’t play Toypocalypse with a party and it’s intended.

Always been like this since Toypocalypse introduction in Wintersday 2012

lol no it hasn’t. Toypocalypse allowed parties in 2013, then anet went and screwed it up in 2014 and when we complained said they would look at it for 2015 but never did.

Windows 10 64-bit client. I thought it might be a client issue so I tried the 32 bit as well but the problem persists.

Can we get this fixed? Every time I log back in I have to redo all of my settings, it is getting out of control.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

It wasn’t a mistake last year. They told us it had to be that way due to the changes done to pvp, if I recall correctly. Because activities shared coding with pvp (dear gods why Anet?) or some such craziness. And they couldnt revert it ( heavy sigh ) I’m not even going to go attempt to find that post, too much work.

That is what they said , but it didn’t make sense then and it doesn’t make sense now. Parties are a thing in PvP. Saying that you can’t enter with your party because it is PvP is nonsense. Anyway, this is extremely disappointing that anet continues to treat their veteran players like this while putting in tons of extra development time to pump out a new black lion weapon set and outfit every single week.

You still can’t enter Toypocalypse with your party. L:ast year it was a mistake due to changing the games to activities". Whats the excuse this year?

HtFde.3856:

zombyturtle.5980:

I mentioned this in another thread though, if there is no way to unlock all masteries without doing the adventures its a mistake that should be changed. But if there are enough spread out over other content that adventures can be ignored then this is a fuss over nothing.

Unless I missed something there is no other way … and bronze won’t do … I calculated I’d have to get silver on most if not all to get the normal (non raid) masteries done.

Nah, I have gold on a few of the easy ones, silver on a few and bronze on other kittenty ones I refuse to do. I still have like 8 mastery points left over after maxing out all of the non-raid masteries. There are a lot of mastery points in the various maps, plus the story achievements and other such things.

Daddicus.6128:

Let me preface this by saying I hate HoT. Not a fan-boy.

But, to those who are complaining that there are “only 4 maps”, please reconsider:

• HoT maps have many levels that are mostly populated.
• HoT maps are much larger than the maps in the rest of Tyria.
• HoT maps require a great deal of effort to fully map.
• HoT maps are all level 80. Thus, no need for newbie maps.

I don’t think it’s fair to say “only 4 maps” as if that means there isn’t much map-type content (i.e. by comparing to the 28 maps in the rest of the world). It’s closer to 20 maps worth of material.

Now back to complaining about HoT …

Eh… I full mapped HoT in about 3 hours. That is way less effort than the old maps. Also the maps are not “much larger than the maps in the rest of Tyria.”. TD is probably the largest map and it can be crossed in maybe a couple of minutes.

With all that said I am fine with the new maps, though TD needs to have its timer cut in half to an hour because two hours is too long for a map with such a short event chain.

Broken armor doesn’t even server a purpose anymore. It use to be a gold sink for repairing but since it is free to repair it is just a pointless system in general. Not even sure why it still exists other than to be annoying.

‘There really aren’t that many skimpy female armors either. Especially ones that look good.

The future huh? Well lets see what we can expect. Some outfits, some BL ticket weapons, maybe some minis, a few gliders, probably a few overpriced bundles, overpriced dye kits with poor drop rates, and gem inflation. Oh you meant in the game? Some rehashed holiday events that will probably be full of bugs and not allow us to play as a party to “stabilize pvp”.

BloodyNine.7504:

I think maybe it is because I am newer to this game. But none of this surprises me. The game is F2P. They have to make money somehow. These people don’t work for free. The astronomical costs of items in games is by design. Why pretend otherwise? They NEED you to pull out your credit card and buy gems or the game goes away. Purchases of the game will only go so far. To keep it running there needs to be a revenue stream.

I can understand why people are upset. To be honest I would rather have no gem store, pay a subscription and have everything earn able in game. But that isn’t happening.

This doesn’t excuse the the obvious problems stated in many other posts. I am just saying, I understand why they do this. Not just why, but why the have to do it.

Free to play? Guess I missed the part where I spent $75 for deluxe edition of the first game and $100 for HoT. So “free”.

You need to do it in sequence, and you need to be on the same step as them. You need to hit accept credit at the end. All the outside of the instance steps need to be done alone.

I’m currently using my HOPE so I can’t confirm this because it worked for me, however I did have guildies contact me asking me how I did it because of the same problem. So maybe it was broken after the fact.

Timegates are bad and lazy design. Rather than a long legendary epic journey to get our precursors they went lazy and made a time/gold sink. Even more ridiculous is the time sink only exists for 1/3 of the new legendaries. I had my HOPE collection done (barring the Gerent) on day 1. Astralaria people really got screwed over.

Anyway, as it stands unless you’re crafting a newer legendary where you’re forced into the collection you’re probably better off just buying one of the old precursors, probably about the same price with a lot less headache,

Stasis.5630:

Yes it is all four lanes that have to go down. My suggestion would be to utilized squad UI and place down group food for pugs

Also seems to work bests when no more than 15 on nuhoch.

That Lyssa though. Needing an event to take longer on a single instanced megaserver map is not happening during any primetime

I’d gladly go kill the champion risen wraith again if I could avoid the Gerent.

insanemaniac.2456:

out of curiosity… did you need to have a td full clear to get the gerent piece? i was part of a successful lane with an overall meta fail and got nothing

the icebrood quaggan also depends on event failure and i almost screwed that up for myself and a couple others (fortunately i was paying attention to chats just enough).

Support told me that all 4 lanes need to succeed and the item would be in the chest. I’ve been trying to kill this thing for like 5 days now. Nobody is doing it, none of the big guilds are doing anything. I’ve tried to organize a few times now and nobody listens and nuhochs broken and the whole event is a big mess and anet won’t even respond.

warbignime.4610:

TheMightyNewb.6789:

I 100 agree in full, they told us that this new system was for players that didn’t have the luck or the money to acquire a pre-cursor weapon. Yet it requires the same if not more money plus extra time gated stuff to acquire these new pre-cursors, its extremely disappointing to have Anet false advertise so to speak, if it wasn’t for a friend of mine that told me it was a gold sink, i would be right where you are my friend because i was looking forward to this new system but however now i am 100 percent completely avoiding it. like Why could Anet have had 4 collections for each precursor, and when you complete each collection you get 1 item out of 4 to put into the Mystic Forge to then craft the weapon. that makes way more sense to me anyways

Anet never told people that it’s a cheap way, it’s a non RNG way to get precouser it doesn’t mean cheaper, easier or faster to get.

Gold was always a non-RNG way. If anything the legendary collections have just taken the two methods of RNG and Cost and combined them. So it is actually worse than any one single previous method.

I have spent less time in Malchor’s Leap to get that Risen Wraith (12 hours) than I have spent in TD trying to get a successful Gerent kill. I’m beginning to wish there was another event like the Wraith one instead of the Gerent. It is the last thing I need and has been for 3 days. No maps I am on or that I try to organize can kill this thing. The map is just a ghost town.

xarallei.4279:

DrMatt.9408:

How about no. Raids are elitist enough let’s not bring that into the open world. I don’t care if you want more rewards that casuals will never get, and I’m willing to bet most of the people on this forum will agree with me. Chak – specifically nuhoch lane – needs nerfing. Increase mushroom spore spawn rate, replace elite mushrooms guarding spores with veterans. This will be enough to make the event success rate shoot up to something closer to DS.

I’m confused why is rewarding with RMP elitist? These meta events SHOULD reward better loot. Especially the harder ones. Though chak gerent does seem buggy, so the fight is something Anet really needs to look at.

They need to look at it soon, as it is literally blocking progress for a bunch of collections. Some of us have tried the fight upwards of 20 times in the past few days. I’ve organized several of them, commanded on even more. People are really trying, but nuhoch lane simply fails. The nuhoch event is wound tighter than the raid bosses. This is some ridiculous kitten.

Boysenberry.1869:

I find virtually all pre-meta events on even unorganized maps are done 20+ minutes before the meta starts. There’s plenty of time to taxi in players and get organized before the 5 minute countdown starts. It’s just that players hate the map/meta and leave once the pre-events are done or they finish their HPs.

All the events are usually pushed and done 30 minutes after the last attempt ends. It is then an hour and a half of afk. Thats why nobody does it.

Yeah, I’ve been trying to finish my HOPE IV collection for like 2 days, Every TD we go in, and either its dead and nobody is there or pugs try to organize and we just don’t have enough people to do it. It is kind of insulting at this point. Something needs to be done about TD, the map cap needs to be raised and the time investment needs to be reduced. 20 minutes of events and and hour and a half of waiting.

SammyCapricorn.4712:

HOPE 4

I assume this is an oversight but the champ risen wraith(Risen crystalline phial) requires you fail two major events in Malchors Leap to spawn. People will not co-operate and it makes sense. Who’s going to listen when you’re telling them to fail events. Not to mention it says the cathedral is in Cursed Shore. Which it isn’t.

Also the spell trap requires more things to complete than are in the collection, Karka Queen’s magic doesn’t seem to get trapped by it either. And there is an event chain in Iron marches that needs to be completed to kill a champ branded devourer but it bugs almost every time from my experience. The guy just hangs around at Brandwatch Encampment.

+1+1+1
I finally got the Karka Queen one to capture after 3 attempts, but I am in the same exact boat for the other 2. It is ridiculous that anet would attach a broken event chain and a mob that only spawns after 2 events FAIL to such a major collection.

I’d also like to say that adding a requirement to kill a guy that only spawns when the event fails during a temple offensive is just poor design. As it stands I have to stand around for hours waiting for the temple to get contested, then I have to hope nobody defends it, then I have to hope that during the offensive to retake it that Lyssa doesnt die fast enough so that the Champion Risen Wraith spawns.

HOPE IV:

Killed Karka Queen 3 times with the spell trap buff up, no Karka Queen Magic.

lynspottery.6529:

Just ran across this thread about precurser bugs. Why is Anet not responding to this mess? Its been 26 days since the thread started and Andrew responded 24 days ago but I have not seen any update from the devs on this.

Folks are really having issues getting things that Anet said they needed for their legendary weapons. So why have they not fixed these things? So many appear to be simple fixes.

I was looking into doing my legendary but after seeing this and looking over the listing of things I needed for my legendary, I shall probably not even bother. I’ll look into using my exotics for a bit longer and move onto ascended instead.

What a mess.

They are periodically patching in the fixes, so thats at least nice.

HOPE IV:

Thanks for fixing Ogden.

Now for the remaining bugs, There only only 3 of 4 crystallized magics available in the collection so you cannot obtain Chaotic Magics. it worked

There is also only 3/4 spell trap targets available so I also cannot obtain charged dwarven spell trap.

Also cannot kill the Champion Branded Devourer in Iron Marches because the even chain keeps bugging at Brandwatch Encampment and the NPC will not move.

Also you can’t kill the champion branded devourer because the events leading up to it keep bugging at the same spot. “Protect Sentinel Whiptail while he finds and tames a siege devourer.”

HOPE IV: The Buggalyst

Ogden won’t give me the dwarven trap spell, also there are only 3 things available to trap but the charged one mentions 4. Chaotic Magics is also undoable because there are only 3 available chaotic energy sources and the item says to capture 4.

Bebunw.8137:

new bug: Modremoth’s Commanders in Dragon Stand don’t drop the cores
- wrong description for risen cristalline phial, the cathedral of eternal radiance is not in cursed shore but in malchor’s leap

Hm, Have you tried them all? I only have one of the commanders left to go as far as DS is concerned.

- Also in Auric Basin, I killed the champion stoneheads by griffonfall with the m-pec enabled but didn’t get my item for my collection.

No, the 4th tier is for the gift. I know because I am on Tier 4 of HOPE and its bugged.

King.1985:

Wahaha.7938:

I prefer playing the game to level bouncing mushrooms over jumping on a mushroom 40 times.

Grinding spiders or whatever else most of those with capped Masteries killed endlessly isn’t “playing the game” any more than what he suggested.

I can assure you I didn’t grind spiders. I leveled my HoT masteries exclusively through the meta events. The HoT maps are full of experience. You can easily make like 2 million XP from a full dragon stand run.

The biggest mistake anet made was tearing dungeons apart without a proper replacement. They went on and on about how they wanted to make fractals the go to dungeon-like content and then they kitten all over fractals. They made them boring and tedious, not hard just tedious and to top that off they killed the rewards. They went on and on about the new WvW map and how rewarding it would be and then within the first week they nerfed the rewards. The worst thing for a game is when an economist has the authority to break a game, the economy should be healthy, but you shouldn’t make the game less fun to accomplish that.

runeblade.7514:

adormtil.1605:

Well its simple dodge then dodge some more then move then use 3 then move(from the yellow and red circles) and then dodge then move then use 3 then special, then dodge then move then 3 then dodge then move then 3 and special then again dodge then move if you use a greatsword.
If you use a rifle use just move and move and move and move and move and move while pressing 1.

Where can I buy a rune of infinite stamina?

The word your looking for is endurance, but that aside you don’t need it. You’re a warrior. You have 2 dodges, the ability to actually just move around, greatsword 3 is an evade, and greatsword 5 is a good way to close distances. You basically should never get hit with the hard hitting attacks.
