Guild Wars 2

I was fighting some toy ventari over a gift and had to switch to my medkit to drop bandages for myself. When I switched, my medkit detached and was floating in the air. After kit swapping, my medkit appeared on my back again, but the original is still hanging there, defying gravity.

Also, Mad Memoires: Complete Edition continues to burn when you switch to kits that appear on your back, making them appear to be on fire. Same with using tonics, the fire almost always stays with you.

After some testing, I realized you can duplicate the hanging medkit by using a tonic with the kit active, and it seems to only work with the medkit, not the flamethrower or elixer gun. I ran out of tonics before I could test any of the others. I wasn’t using a tonic when it happened the first time, however.

edit: You can also see my pants clipping through the back of my boots in the first image. Bugs galore! The pants are Heritage Legguards, the boots are Noble Boots. The pants’ belt and uh, crotch, also clips through the vest of my Noble Coat but that isn’t visible.

I have a bug where the snowflakes just don’t load for me sometimes. I’ve no idea why.

Not female, but I love my male Sylvari and think his voice suits him, but my god. The awful, pained yelling and grunting sounds he makes when he jumps, almost every time. It used to be funny, but it’s gotten old since launch. Especially when I’m doing jumping puzzles.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t sound like someone had just punched him in the gut.

When I created my Sylvari, I gave him pink eyes that, for a while, showed up very well during the day.. he was made on launch day. But at some point, his eyes stopped lighting up during the day, and now he has two soulless black pits in his face.

And I usually look at him turned -toward- the light source so I can actually see his features well. It isn’t that. Plus he shares what seems to be a problem eye color, and his eyes used to be bright all the time.

My first character in GW2 who is still my favorite is a Sylvari engineer. I have a lot of fun playing him, but the Sylvari racials are pretty subpar.

I’m not too big on the RNG thing because I’m currently broke which just makes me SOL, but everything else I really love.

Especially Snowball Mayhem. Anet, you did such a great job with that game that I’m really bummed out that it’s only temporary. Makes me nostalgic for playing snowball wars and capture the flag as a child. You did a really great thing with that game and I hope, somehow, it can be installed over in the Norn areas so people can keep playing it. It’s just very simple and fun.

Quaz.4931:

This title was so prestigious in gw1, in gw2 its kinda a joke lol.

If what you described above is correct (ie changing map breaks the chain and you have to start over) then the ONLY way to do it is while crafting…

Must be REAL difficult to not die while crafting, pro title. All those high level threads and insignias causing massive crits O.O

Imo change title to “Dedicated Crafter” or something, as that more accurately affects the path to get the achievement.

I managed to pull it off in Orr. XP boosters, did Gates of Arah over and over, and a lot of luck I think..
Glad I managed to pull it off without bugging because I really do not have the patience for that kind of crafting. I had tried it over and over at lower levels and I never managed to pull it off until Orr.

I’ve been playing since launch and I have never gotten to fight the Shadow Behemoth.
Tarnished Coast, by the way. Probably a combination of bad timing, and him breaking at some point.

I do not do underwater combat in Orr (or even against Risen usually) unless I have at least two other people with me and we have a thorough understanding that we will watch each other’s backs.

Underwater combat needs balancing, but especially in Orr. You can barely move without running into something horrible.

I was going to buy in-game Christmas presents for guild friends, but it looks like that’s out the window now. Between repairing my armour, waypoints, and trying to keep my alts in passable armour (via gold made on my 80), I’m broke.
I was also going to buy another character slot and a few gem store items, but not now.

Not acknowledging this is horrible, what shameful business practice. If I did something like this to my customers, I’d be in deep, deep crap.. Possibly legal trouble. But hey, I’m also not selling millions of copies of anything and I -have- to deal directly with my customers, I can’t just hide behind the scenes when things go sour.

Guys, you need to show a little responsibility and acknowledge whether you screwed up, or if this is an intentional change.

I get the loud, echoing crack, too, and I play an Engineer. No pets, really. I’ve had it since launch day.

I had three drop for me on launch day. Through that week, it gradually tapered off.
Since that week, I have never had one drop for me again from mobs. I did luck out and I think got one from a chest or something during Halloween, but that was it.

You do realize they’ve tweaked the drop rate to make us buy them from the gem store, right? Which is obvious, but it still comes across as really shady and unpleasant to me. Just kinda feels misleading to change the drop rate so drastically for financial gain without saying anything.
Luckily for me, I don’t tend to buy superfluous things like that unless I really, really need them to help improve the game experience. Black lion chests are typically so full of junk that it’s not worth the risk to me.

My consistent favorite is Engineer. It’s just very dynamic and fun.
What I really didn’t expect was to hate playing a thief.. I don’t hate all melee, but I dunno, I can’t really get into it.

Tarnished Coast. I have trouble sleeping and I can even find people to play with in pve at 3am.

Actually, Paypal’s refund time limit is 45 days the last time I looked, so if you paid with it and they don’t actually want to refund you, you’re screwed either way. Paypal itself won’t do anything to help you. Sorry man.

Orr could be awesome if it was carefully balanced out to compensate for the fact that there just aren’t as many players anymore. Some incentive to keep waypoints uncontested would also help. I know the game can be kinda stingy with rewards, but a few silver or a little chest with a small reward wouldn’t hurt.

Just getting rid of the pull would help a lot for solo players. I was trying to get to a story mission and had to run through a huge group of Orrians to do it. One pulled me, I stood up.. and was immediately pulled again. I got yanked around like this right on standing five times, never having an opportunity to move away from them. I dropped two turrets to try to distract them, managed to roll away, and purposely jumped off a cliff and into the sea to escape. I preferred climbing out and working my way back to the instance marker over dealing with the clusterkitten up above.. Plus I’m saving, and didn’t really want to pay out for a far away waypoint, or armour repair. I can’t play with my guild all of the time, and I know it’s the same for a lot of other players. And you can’t rely on a stranger to save your backside. I try to help people who are in trouble, but I do not expect the same. People have things to do.

I honestly dread going through Orr for my map completion, I’m kinda putting it off and doing lower level zones first.

People really get that riled up over a blue icon on their map?

I’ve never gotten even remotely annoyed at seeing it. But I also have real world problems I’ve got to deal with and an icon on a game’s minimap is really the least of my worries. I’m usually too busy to even give it a second glance anyhow.

Our guild is currently saving up to buy one of our leaders Commander. Just for the fun of it, basically, he’s an awesome guy who deserves something nice, and he’s a good player who knows what he’s doing. He didn’t ask for it. I hope this crap doesn’t happen if he forgets to turn it off, because he absolutely does not deserve it.

I can’t recall getting one at all this week.

Logan’s VA is a legitimately bad voice actor. Everything he says is really.. off.

And yeah, I’ve got to agree with you, the Asura win as far as dialogue goes. And the plot actually does have issues, but it doesn’t even touch on how awkwardly written most of the dialogue is.. And in some cases, it seems like the VAs weren’t chosen to compliment the character. Trahearne’s VA wouldn’t be so bad, and could work for the character, but he really doesn’t have much to work with and is really sort of shallowly written, so with the voice he’s got, it makes him sound really monotonous and boring. There are moments where the dialogue is actually good, aside from the Asura, but it’s often minor stuff and things you hear in the background. I’m guessing different writers handled it in different areas of the game.

The Sylvari can get really horribly cheesey sometimes, too.

Disclaimer before I’m jumped: I like plenty of aspects of the game’s story. I like the game. I just can’t get over the dialogue. I’m not looking for Shakespeare, here, it’s just nice when a game doesn’t leave me cringing when the characters start to speak.

Guys. Christmas is coming. This is pretty standard business practice, especially when your product appeals to older kids and teenagers. Such as a video game, which is what GW2 is.

I wouldn’t walk into Walmart, buy a PS3 or Xbox game, then go back in a month and demand a partial refund/discount when the Christmas specials roll around. Wtf? Purchase protection my butt.

But then, I work selling my services and I cut prices around this time of year, too, so it’s just common sense to me by this point. I have to compete with all the other things they could be spending their money on. I can’t get mad at them for it. My other customers don’t come back to me asking for free stuff or for partial refunds, either.

And if they did? I’m afraid I’d have to tell them where they could shove those kittens.

Dear Toymaker Tixx,

I would like:
- Raptor minis. Especially the vulture raptors.
- Maybe a few less gold sinks..?
- Winter town clothes.
- New features for makeover and character creation, especially some of the necromancer skintones from GW1 for humans..
- I don’t suppose centaurs will ever be playable, will they? Tengu are great too, though.

And as a Sylvari, I must humbly request that stringing us up with lights and hanging ornaments from us be punishable by fiery death. I dread having to pick tinsel from my leaves.

- Jesen Aesc.

Welp, using Heritage Legguards was an awful idea.

Race: Sylvari
Sex: Male
Class: Engineer

Clothing involved:
Level 80 Heritage Legguards of Grenth, originally Pirate Pants. I don’t remember where I got them.
Level 80 Valkyrie Noble Coat of Grenth. I bought it off the TP.

The problem is that my crotch cannot be contained. Literally, the bulge of the front of the pants clips through the bottom of my vest. The severity depends on my pose, but it’s almost always happening. And very visible since I like a high contrast monochrome color scheme. I really don’t want to have to dye them black just to hide my groin clipping. The belt also clips through the waist of my vest.

I can’t even transmute my pants to something else because I don’t have a Fine Transmutation Stone.. haha, ugh. I might just salvage them and buy a new pair.

Happens to me really badly with my thief. When I play my Engineer, it’s not as frequent.

Which is sort of horrible, considering that right after I hit ‘c’, I hit ‘2’. And jump right on top of the wrong mob, or group of mobs. It’s gotten me killed a ridiculous number of times.

Not colorblind, but I am legally blind in one eye and my vision’s poor in the other. I support this! The out of range red bars and hidden pet plates are especially annoying. Red plates for enemies are also amazingly hard to see against some landscapes, and unlike GW1, we can’t pick the enemies out on our minimaps.

The bright combat lights are pretty bad, too. I don’t know how many times I’ve dodged off ledges I didn’t even know where there in WvWvW because the combat effects rendered me further blind.

Also for the love of god, please fix the difficult to read text in the trading post, I have to lean in so close to read it that my nose almost touches my screen. It’s horrible when I’m trying to list things in a hurry when I’m in a somewhat dangerous area. Like most of Orr.

I crashed on Tarnished Coast, but it wasn’t due to a server crash. The lag just got so horrible that the whole game just gave up, rolled over, and died. I was extremely lucky that I managed to log back in just in time.. I’m so sorry, guys.

Neilos Tyrhanos.5427:

No it kitten well isn’t.

He essentially argued that ANet’s product isn’t “in working order” because their content update had lag issues and some of the lead-up events are bugged. It’s an MMO in it’s early days for chrissakes. The update included some great new content as well, which no-one seems willing to focus on, and I for one am glad they gave us what they did instead of nothing.

Gamers are incapable of gratitude.

Whoops. I took a nap.

The event has been so bugged for me I haven’t been able to partake in most of the combat with the Karka, and the NPCs for part 1 were broken for me up until they disappeared out of the game entirely. It’s not ingratitude, I’m frustrated at how sub-par and underwhelming this hyped up event was, and it makes me cringe at Anet’s business practice, seeing how the whole thing was handled. But I’m not going to reiterate my entire original post again to get my point across. Everything I said still stands.

But I am grateful in other areas. For the game itself, for the Halloween event. I had a ridiculous amount of fun with it, even when it did occasionally break, because it was just handled so well otherwise. I’m also grateful for Fractals. The dungeon is actually fun, it’s difficult and challenging without feeling like an impossible grind, it promotes teamwork. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. To me, comparing it and AC are like night and day. I hate AC, for me it’s hard to believe that the same team made Fractals.

Just because a person speaks out about one thing they dislike about something does not mean that they hate the entire thing. But this thread is about the broken event, and not my appreciation for an exceptionally well-made dungeon.
In the end, I ended up playing Primal Carnage with my wife, and then I took a nap. I had a better time than I was having with the event, sorry Anet.

StevenMah.9854:

Guys, if your expectations are that high, start paying $30 a month, or else please appreciate what ANet has done and stop complaining that much. They obviously don’t have to bring out new contents in such a short time.

If you run a business and start selling a service, people who pay for that service generally expect it to be in proper working order. When you buy an MMO, people also usually expect there to be content updates and events over time. It’s not like buying a console game, which tend to be static.. and even those usually have reliable updates, these days.
And before even selling it, Anet mentioned there would be content updates. It wasn’t some neat bonus you found out about after buying it, it was one of the selling points.
It does not make a lick of difference whether you paid $60 one time or $15 every month for the rest of your playing experience. It wouldn’t even matter if you only paid $5 for the game, you still dished out your hard earned cash for a service that isn’t working as implied when you paid.

If a commissioner paid me to draw or paint them a picture and I drew it how a five year old would, I sure as hell wouldn’t be surprised if they called me on it and told me to fix it. Since they paid me for a service and they definitely did not get what they paid for. I can’t just tell them “tough kitten” and move on with their cash in pocket. That would be absolutely shameful and I would expect lots of people to jump on me for it and for my business to suffer. And I would deserve it.
I have had to fix commissions before, even though I was tired of the piece and I really just wanted it to be done with. Because I’m the one that screwed up, I’m the only one who’s responsible for that. I’m not going to punish my customer for my failing.

Same, but I can’t finish it because Canach vanished into thin air on Tarnished Coast.
I waited for him to start working for three hours yesterday, and today when I get on he’s just up and gone. Ugh.

Oh god, Illconceived, thank you so much. I reset my router and just turned off AVG while playing, now my trading post works fine. You’re wonderful.

This has been really bad lately. Missed, obstructed (with nothing in the way), and invulnerable (when others could attack the same target) when using my flamethrower ever since the Halloween patch. The flamethrower always had issues but it’s been much worse. If I put it away and use my guns, I have no problem.

Earlier today in wvw, a formerly invisible zerg materialized right on top of me, and I happened to be holding my flamethrower. I used my 3 skill (it did work and knocked some back), then 1 while turning on the spot to hit as many as possible, because hey, I was going to die anyway. My screen was filled up with countless “missed” and "obstructed"s, even though they were all on level ground with me and varying distances from me.

I have never been able to wake up a drunk with a water bucket, ever, with any of my characters. Yes, I have moved around the drunks to try to hit just the right spot to trigger it. Honestly, we shouldn’t have to do an elaborate dance around a trashed pirate just to try to make an element of the game work.
My character’s heights range from down to max height asura and up to max height charr, so size doesn’t play a role, at least. Neither does race, I’ve tried it on Sylvari, Human, Asura, and Charr.
Other water bucket tasks I rarely have a problem with, it’s just those kitten drunks.

The TP is currently busted for me and has been for days, I can look stuff up but the “buy” button is greyed out. So I can’t buy anything at all, from crafting mats to the devil’s horns.
Kinda hope this gets sorted out before the end of Halloween.

I had no idea there even was Halloween music..

I was having this problem until yesterday, I finally made it through. But I had to have four other people with me to get the quest to work properly. :\

Still having this problem, tried the solutions. There are never enough Risen to kill the guards.

During the fourth try of the night, Trahearne became unresponsive for me. I could highlight him, but it only showed “Greet” instead of “Talk.” When I took that option, it flipped me around to speak to the woman standing to Trahearne’s right (my left). The same thing happened with my guild leader, we were both trying the quest, alternating who activated it.

Characters involved:
Male Sylvari Engineer, level 80
Female Human Elementalist, level 70

-Asura, Male, Ranger
-Issues with Heritage Shoulderpads (lvl 15) and Marksman’s Jerkin (lvl 18).
I don’t recall where I got the original shoulderpads but the skin is from HoM, the jerkin was from the personal story quest Split Second.

The vest of the jerkin badly overlaps the shoulderpad.

Don’t intend to sound rude, but an image would help. I haven’t seen anyone wearing the witch costume.

Same problem, also solo. I ran all over the place to see if anything was stuck, and there’s just nothing happening.. ugh. I’m level 80, if that makes any difference. I have a bad habit of slacking my personal story.. Because I got so put off by bugs.

I’ve got this today. It also screws the audio up when it happens, it slows way down and sounds like a skipping CD. Never had this problem before.

I really don’t think he’s taking it too seriously. Why’s optional privacy too much to ask for? Do you really have to play with or talk to others every moment you’re on the game, with them able to track you?

I love my guild, the two owners have been friends of mine for over a decade, but sometimes I just want to, say, pop in and check the TP or do something I’d forgotten to previously, get it out of the way, and get back off again without getting caught up in a conversation or group play. I don’t see how people knowing I’m changing characters when I’m supposed to be invisible just to do something for five minutes is “helping people socialize.”

28, I think the game has some serious issues that need ironed out, but I otherwise love it and have no intention of up and leaving unless problems somehow worsen.

Server: Tarnished Coast
Map: Queensdale
Area: Shire of Beetletun

The poor fellow is dead inside his tent.

I have the same problem, it makes textures look really awful. Hope that whatever’s causing it gets fixed.

Same thing here with a drake in.. Godslost Swamp, I think it was. Except it also spread its front legs out like it was pretending to be an airplane while skating around on its normally posed hind legs, inflicting damage on everyone fighting it.

It was hilarious, but not the kind of thing you want hanging around in your game.

This happens with my Sylvari Engineer, too. It’s the most frequent when I have to follow npcs, oddly, making escorting more difficult.

I keep getting this while trying to log in and while trying to play, too.

Oh god, thank you. I was terrified that it was intentional!

I have all these problems, too, and I’m also an Engineer, but I don’t use smoke bomb too often. It really, really is devastating when you’re playing in Orr. I usually need one other person with me just to move across the map, because of various buggy things making survival alone almost impossible.

I’ve already had motion sickness with the camera, but I just got done playing my charr for a bit, doing puzzles like the person above. It made me so much more sick than usual because the camera handles so much worse when you’re playing a Charr, and it seems to bounce even worse since the patch.

I am grateful for the lack of smoothing, but I think I’ll stick to playing my Sylvari and Asura for a while.
