ive ported about 25 times trying to find these chests. ive found 3 chests so far and im just supposed to hit the skritt until it turns me into a jackalope.
the 3 times i did find it it never turned me into a jackalope and ive wasted about an hour + 50+ silver on this stupid achievement already and it still hasnt turned me into a jackalope
There seems to be some actual issue with any type of fast movement skill (jumping, charging, etc.) and connection latency (this may NOT be directly related to your average ping but more to internet “hops”…that will of course effect the actual latency during a particular skill activation and resulting client/server synchronization).
My main question to those that are having these issues is what home server are you using? If you are in HK using a UK based server, are you not inviting connection latency issues? I get that in an ideal situation you should be able to pick whatever world server you want, but in the real world, data does take some time to move back and forth. Also, I am in no way aware of what server availability ANet has provided for these customers, so I understand that could certainly be the root of why a world server based halfway around the world is being used.
A player could have a OC-48 connection to the internet and if his path to the sever he is playing on goes thur a several dozen routers (that potentially could be throttling bandwidth) with an actual physical path of thousands of miles, he’s going to get latency. Your connection speed to the internet is only one of many factors involved in where latency would possibly be introduced during a play session. Does a faster connection help? It certainly could, but it’s not the only factor.
It has nothing to do with your connection. I live in us and have perfectly clear internet yet i have same problems like you.
Just out of curiosity, what world server are you playing on and is it US based or possibly very high population? I think a lot of these complaints (not saying they aren’t valid) don’t take the answer to this question into account.
Its not cheating. No one is using some kind of exploit to get themselves or their friends to the end faster than anyone else.
This is called not being a jerk and allowing people who’d like to get the achievement get it.
ive made first 20+ times and i only took 1st the first time. I know a lot of people would appreciate getting their achievement done and they shouldnt have to suffer something they dont like doing just because their skill level or luck isnt as high as some other people.
Though i dont realy agree with compact being broken (you should look into just getting some 18 slots bags and do away with the organizing bags and dont show separate bags imo) I do like your option 1 idea. the other one is kind of iffy beause it seems like a very niche concept
Im going to give OP the benefit of the doubt and assume hes either new to games in general, or hes young (13, 14?) and doesnt quite understand he just cant simply suggest a game thats almost a year out of release that has had YEARS of testing and development to just throw away their current class system and make a different one.
GW2 already allows you to specialize into different roles. I honestly have to think this post is a troll. I dont even know what you are asking. This stuff is already in the game.
an idea i had was to allow custom arena admins to enable a food buff option which will allow players to equip a food and wrench buff from a UI that doesnt cost any money just like armor or weapons.
Not asking to enable food / utility buffs in standard spvp or tournaments. only for custom arenas where its specifically enabled.
defektives longbow sword/shield build may work with the celes gear pretty well in wvw. ive been using serker armor, knights rings/acces/ammy and valkyrie weapons with his build and it works pretty good but im curious how itd work with the celes gear. only thing not helping it would be the healing power.
Why are you guys suggesting stealth traps as a counter to thieves? Are forgetting how incredible thief mobility is? Nothing short of a warrior (specced for it) or another thief will catch me.
Shadowstep + 4 Heartseekers = 3120 distance.
as i said before
no one cares if you run
you arent hurting anyone when you run
running = losing
youre wasting nobody’s but your own time if you run.
I wasted 15 badges and 500 of your karma.
I also wasted 10 supply from your server.
Since I escaped I can go kill more dolyaks
Since I escaped I can go tag more keep doors
I think I won.
you didnt win.
Just because i spent a measly amount of badges/karma just to swat some fly doesnt mean you won. and killing dolyaks and tagging doors isnt the issue anyones talking about with thieves. anyone can kill dolyaks or tag doors.
now again, have fun “running” since you think “running = winning”
lol.
You could have spent those badges on blueprints. You chose instead to waste in a trap to “swat a fly”.
You could’ve spent that supply on building siege and repairs. You chose instead to use to “swat a fly”.
You accomplished nothing in using the trap except delaying me from killing your dolyak. I would you like to see you try and kill a dolyak with 3 skilled players escorting it using a non thief. Maybe a Mesmer could do it but they’d surely die afterwards.
I also never claimed that “running = winning”. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.
You can’t win using a stealth trap. You don’t spend $1000 just to kill a fly and then say you “won”. If anything you’re an idiot. There are much better ways to spend $1000…
you said since you made me waste karma, badges and supply and escaped (running) "I think I won. "
so how am i putting words in your mouth. BTW whatever man im not here to argue. all im saying is thieves are just annoying flies at best and dont help their side more than any other class can. Less so, if anything.

oh you mean wvw… This is pretty “out there” but i think a stationary, deployable asura megalaser type of siege would be awesome! great for wiping out zerg balls and needs 10 supply to be fired every shot!

killing these thieves provides no benefit for your side. If a player really didnt like them, they have the option to buy a stealth trap, which is what i do. yet i know that killing one or two thieves is my own business and my own choice and im not really helping my side at all by doing so.
So basically you’re saying “if a thief attack, you have to die, because killing thieves don’t help your side”… nice logic.
“they dont do anything aside from killing baddies who are not with a group”
Baddies? Oh god, I suppose that every time you die, you wait the blob and hug the commander. Anyway, the thieves are very useful in WvWvW, if you do not know how to use the class, it’s just your fault ;-)
im saying if youre spending your time running fighting thieves instead of taking and defending objectives thats your own problem not anyone elses. in all honesty what is a lone thief or 2 going to do points wise? do you think he gains your server thousands of points? WvW isnt for dueling, Spvp is where you go for dueling servers if you want to duel.
just because you are mad you cant beat them (and if you really wanted to counter their stealth buy some freaking stealth traps) doesnt mean theyre actually making a difference.
You have to be kidding me. Really? 15 badges + 525karma + 10sup just to be on the same level with one class? Hey, I want some uber abilities for my engi then, that will require people to spend 25 badges just to have a shot at killing me. Like, 2k/sec regen maybe?
you dont get that thieves running around in wvw dont really turn the tide of any kind of battle. they dont do anything aside from killing baddies who are not with a group. theyre not singlehandedly taking over every objective in wvw. theyre killing the occasional stray player. killing these thieves provides no benefit for your side. If a player really didnt like them, they have the option to buy a stealth trap, which is what i do. yet i know that killing one or two thieves is my own business and my own choice and im not really helping my side at all by doing so.
Because countering a thief should totally cost 15 badges, 10 supply, exposing yourself for 4 seconds and praying to all the higher powers he actually triggers it.
Just so he then has to run away, and you can pat yourself on the back because there is no way those 15badges and 10 supply couldve been better spend….
the thing is countering a thief is completely voluntary. youre not winning any keeps and towers by roaming alone and fighting thieves. .youre the one who wants to go fight thieves in wvw. if youre off fighting thieves then you have no right to complain about needing to use your supply for something thats actually useful.
For starters, why on earth is it okay to have 1 profession that can pretty much not get caugth and killed. Thats just bs.
Is it “voluntary” to try and prevent your Keeps from getting locked down by constantly being contested? Or to actually have a dolly make it anywhere so you can actually upgrade something?
Roaming players are not useless.
i can go tap keeps as my warrior or guardian. i can also kill dolyaks. im failing to see why a thief is so much more op than other people are even with stealth.
i just honestly laughed for liek 5 minutes when i read the title. like they have been so bad for so long and then you see “Necromancers are way too OP”
I think Necro is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills whiners and doesn’t afraid of anything.
i actually do hop off my warrior and on to my staff necro when there is 2 or more necro on the enemy team… staff 4 and aoe condition removal is like the best thing to fight condition necro with but then im just doing the same thing they are basically…
Get an elementalist.
Use staff
Aoe the top of walls, groups of players.
Heal your zerg.
Put combo fields down for your zerg.
basically all you want is survivability, and aoe. if you are like smaller zerg like 10 – 15 you might need more damage oriented possible dagger dagger ele it has good survivability boons and conditions for your enemies. and then you can switch back to staff when you are aoeing walls or on the move with a larger zerg

the only thing that is different for a theif stealth is that they can use black powder and leap through it to stomp pretty much on demand. making it far more easier for them to use it to stomp with.
gaurdians can pop stand your ground for stability, but can they get stability from their weapon attacks? no. can eles get mist form off their weapons? no, can engis get shrunk from weapon finishers? no. i think they should get revealed if the stealth they used to stomp came from a combo finisher, but not if it came from a utility skill such as shadow refuge, putting in line with the other classes.
when you are a ball it is easier to tell who you are supposed to be hitting. i.e3 a widespread zerg isnt hitting 10 different people who are all 10 feet away from eachother. when you are a ball you are running in one direction and anything in your way is what you aoe and you just keep putting support stuff up.
so, once you understand that it is much easier for allies to stack buffs one eachother in a ball and it is much easier for the whole group to target the same people you can see why ball is better.
also, mesmer elite skill cloak. will cloak the entire zerg for 5 seconds and is great way to intiate fight
But how would you know that that person is actually a spy? There will always be spies. Real spies won’t do or say much so how would you be able to spot them? I agree that it is unfair but it is what it is.
That’s the beauty of it. I’m not saying someone should be labelled “spy”. What I am saying is that each individual should be able to block someone, with the aforementioned features.
The argument isn’t whether or not X is a spy, the argument is what happens when you block someone.
And I’m 99% sure there is a guy live-streaming our WvW. No, I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t feel comfortable letting that person see everything that I do. I just believe I personally should be able to block anyone who I think even might be a spy. As a prominent commander in my world, it would put my mind slightly more at ease when speaking in Team or Map chat as well as even being tagged up.

i dont think you realize there is probably lots of people streaming wvw whether or not they are spy
will there ever be a new borderlands map? current borderlands gettin kind of old. maybe a new look with some desert parts or cherry blossom forest or something
Where’s the bug?

You have a complain, file a ticket: https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/ask/
Anyhow, you know there’s a “buy as gift option”, right? To avoid these kind of possible spam/gold selling cases…
you cant buy dragon coffers as a gift. only rich dragon coffers. i consider it a bug. and its perfectly fine to post here.
i bought my friend some dragon coffers and i couldnt send her more than 2 mails because i got suppressed due to excessive messaging.
the requirements for “excessive” are kittening kittened. and it is ridiculously frustrating because now i have 4000+ coffers in my inventory that i cant get rid of due to this stupid suppression
by the devs. Here’s why. In order for the skill to work you need to have a target and hit it. Which means you can not use it on the run from some one and if there is add you need to actively engage it to get rid of the condition. However the real insult is blind. Now that blind has been buffed you can literally miss your burst get the cd and still have that condition on you. What makes it funnier is that currently it the main reason other classes saw few changes to condition builds. I in all honesty think we just got trolled by the devs.
For anyone who’s going to say lemon grass + melandru in WvW. Forget it I have heard that force yourself into one build nonsense before. Beside this being spvp problem also every class has access to this and isn’t as reliant on being in melee. We were promised in house condition management help. We got trolled instead and I for one find it hilarious.
Tl;DR
We got trolled by the devs between the damage reduction, the new blind, and cleansing ire. We’ll done Anet truly well done.
its like that because if you miss your eviscerate or flurry or whatever you dont have to build up your adrenaline again.
it has always been there that even before the patch you miss your burst you dont spend adrenaline. the trait clearly states that it removes a condition per adrenaline spent. its your own fault for assuming wrongly.
