Guild Wars 2

If it’s accurate to the server’s time, that says the server for NA are in Europe. That’s why it was confusing me.

Why they arbitrarily decided to have the server time show UTC then is confusing if as you say it’s not actually server time. It’s fine for the European servers since UTC centers in Europe, but for NA(with servers not located in the EU), you have to subtract 4-9 hours or whatever depending on timezone or Daylight savings. It seems to have served no purpose except to make the server time display more confusing.

Just shy of a thousand chances opened and only one favor of the pavillion, the rest were tickets.

That’s why I’ve been trying to figure it out. If they are now showing UTC time and the server time is hours ahead of us then are they actually in europe because that’s what the server time seems to indicate.

I’ve been trying to figure this out. The server time for me used to be pacific time since that’s where I thought they were located, but with the last patch the time now shows UTC time. Are the servers actually in Europe for NA?

Then as a suggestion: My guild seems to post times for activities based on server time, so I’m always confused when they are actually occuring. I’d love to see a time option that is “Local Time (UTC)”.

I was wondering what the quickest way to use up 750 queens gauntlet tickets was. I’ve got every class at 80 so I’m just looking for an easy way to use them all up quickly. What boss/gambit combination is the easiest?

The first 5 are still there, someone just has to ineract with the items and it spawns the enemy and event. I think the other ones were replaced with the new dolyak race and crystal gathering every half hour.

I would prefer to have the old pavilion back. The vocal members of the community that are extremely anti-zerg or anti-farm seem to have gotten their way on this event.

I for one was looking forward to the return of the pavilion, however unless the rewards improve from what I’ve seen posted, I’d be hard pressed to spend any more time in the pavilion than is necessary to accomplish the meta.

OK, so I went to look for another skin that I know I had in my pvp locker and it’s not there.. I’ll put in a support ticket, so this can be deleted.

Forgive me if this has already been asked.

When my PvP locker converted over I was looking forward to ussing a couple of the pact skins that had unlocked in it, but they are missing. I don’t specifically recall which ones they were as I had only perused the locker briefly, but distinctly recall seeing a few in there that I thought would be cool to be able to use after the fact.

Has anyone else had a specific set of skins not convert over?

Thanks, just got my sanctified finisher.

More than just the quaggan one. There sanctified finisher is also missing. I’ve been putting off buying one till I had the class I wanted it on leveled and now that they are, I was going to buy it just now and It’s gone.

I presumed that they were going to stay in the store permanently unlike the seasonal ones since everyone that had been introduced so far was still there except the seasonal ones.

I’m liking it. Just did map completion on my first megaserrver’d zone. Timberline Falls. Ran into alot of people and events actually scaled up so it wasn’t just me fighting 2 grawl at a time or similar.

My only complaint is that when our guild went to do the karka we were scattered across various zones and the one that most of the guild was in got hardcapped pretty quick by other folks shuttling in their guildies. About half the folks in the guild that were headed to the event ended up in other instances of the zone. Some tweaking to make sure that more guildies end up together would be nice, but otherwise, I’m liking it so far.

When I try to move to where half my party is I get a network error. This is metrica province. Everyone in my group is getting the same when they try to change instances.

With the new patch you can mouse over a dye slot and see a preview of the dye on the brush. I’d like to be able to go the other way. I’d like to be able to select a slot and then mouse over the dyes and see how they look. Anyone know if there’s a keystroke or something I might be missing that would allow this?

Talk to a black lion specialist. they should offer to convert them.

I think I got it. Rather than using the heart of the mists option in the PvP window, go through the portal in Vigil Keep. As soon as I did that, they started importing.

I’ve brought a couple of my characters to the heart of the mists, but none of the skins that I had in my PvP locker are showing up yet in the wardrobe. I’ve tried exiting and relaunching, but can’t get them to show up in the wardrobe. Anyone else having that happen?

I have started crashing lately(the last month or so) when 2 zergs hit in WvW or if I try to do Tequatl. So far everytime the crash log shows:

Am I reading it right that it’s a problem with a spell effect or model that’s causing the crash?

Playing with it a bit more, it seems to mostly happen when around lots of people. It seems to be the same issue that was occurring about 5 months ago according to previous posts in these forums.

Anyone else having alot of trouble with right click to turn since the Dec 10 patch? The only place it seems to work reliably is in the wintersday jumping puzzle, but in the open world or in cities it doesn’t work reliably anymore. Mostly I notice it in combat more then when just running around.

I actually like the noseless female one, though I wish that it wasn’t tied to the pinecone hair. Doesn’t really look right with any other hair because of the scales that are incorporated into the face.

So I guess the consensus is that damage wise it hasn’t changed. No biggie, it just feels like it’s taking alot longer to kill things than it should. Last time I started her up again I remember thinking how fast I was killing stuff.

Guess I’ll shelve her and try again in a few months and maybe I’ll think back to now and imagine they improved the damage.

Maybe I’m imagining things because I’ve gone back 6-7 months in the patch notes and can’t find anything about a damage change for Spatial surge. I just switched back to my mesmer to level her and the amount of damage that spatial surge seems to be putting out is very very low compared to what I remember it doing, or even compared to the other classes I’ve played around with since leveling her last(about 3 months ago).

It feels like I’m fighting a veteran with every mob I attack if I use the greatsword and that’s even with current lvl weapons near max range.

Did something get changed, or am I imagining things?

I ended up with 23/24 too and had to go back through them all, and eventually found that the one in Sparkfly at Oceans gullet didn’t count the first time I visited it. I know that I got it the first time around. After getting it again, the counter finally gave me the 24/24.

How do you do the heart now though? The stuff you had to kill/gather was at the exit to the village, but now you can’t even get close to the exit to the village and the events that used to spawn krait to kill seem to be disabled.

akamon.2769:

o snap. didn’t know. i just avoided all red circles.

i was wondering if these bosses had more mechanics to them than your usual HP sponge.

It’s not the red circles, it’s the pink candy on the floor he puts down just before using the candy corn throw. That gives you the candy coating. The red circles will hurt you.

I bought the game a couple days after Halloween last year, so I was looking forward to getting the recipes. Now I’d have to farm the labyrinth for the entire month nonstop to get ONE of the recipes.

Oh and hooray! we get 2 candy corns with each $2 BL chest key we buy.

I really wonder what’s up with the decisions lately. They tried a bunch of different methods for acquiring the skins for the weapons for each event and rather than the kite fortunes which were fairly well received, they went with the methods that were highly disliked IE. the RNG chests. Now the grind for a single recipe is roughly the equivalent of having to walk from New York to Miami. I’d rather fly, but I’d at least be willing to drive it.

Yeah, wish we could find out something. Been in Sparkfly for 2.5 hours now waiting.

The Hellfire Vambraces on a female Sylvari do not have the correct texture on the fingers when worn as light armor. They do look correct as heavy armor. I’ve attached a screenshot of them. The left is Light, the right is Heavy. If it makes a difference I’m using the farthest most right body type for both of them.

Since the thread has already been necro’d. I’m not sure if it’s related, but I noticed that doing this on my thief, my shortbow was occasionally targeting a seperatist training dummy under the ground after the guys fell out of the tree. Alternatively you have to go out and come back in to release a 2nd hound after the first returns.

Was playing about 2 hours ago, but logged off and now I’m trying to get back in and when I launch the game, I get “Connection errors detected. Retrying”.

Cool, Thanks a bunch!

Just from the title or the event, it’s not going to be accessible for just a couple days like the fireworks were?

I’m on vacation for a week and won’t be back till Saturday which is why I ask.

I seem to recall an old thread about missing icons but I didn’t want to necro an old thread so I thought I’d make a new one.

Just happened to make a Mystic Salvage kit the other day and noticed that it’s icon is the same as the crude salvage kit’s. It needs it’s own icon.

Buying/Farming the chest isn’t worth it, unless there was 1-2 scraps PER chest. Especially since they want you to spend 50 scraps in a couple weeks instead of 10. I opened 10 chests today with the keys I accumulated. I increased the booster count in my bank from around 150 to 170. That’s just about it. No scraps at all. If I was buying chests based on what I’m seeing across the forums, you’d have to basically pay around $200 for one skin when they go up to 50 scraps. I thought the scraps were supposed to be a “Well you didn’t get a rare drop from the chest so here’s a consolation prize to help you get a rare item with a couple more chests.”

I haven’t heard of anyone getting them from the trials, at least nobody I know of has gotten them there.

I really don’t get why Anet is so insistent on the whole RNG thing. Put skin tokens in the store for $5-6. I would have bought 4-5 of the fused tokens, 1-2 of the sclerite, none of the jade, and 4-5 of the Aetherised ones plus another bank slot to store them in on top of the gems I bought. Instead my frustration level is going up because I’ve gotten none of the skins except one jade token that I really didn’t have any interest in. And based on the drop info I’m seeing people report, I won’t get any of the current skins.

I like leveling alts so I don’t have the cash to buy them in the TP at 40-50G per skin especially since I want to dress up each of my 10 characters with the various outfits, dyes and skins that I’ve picked out for them. If the next living world release has the same skin system tied to RNG with the a very limited accessibility of the skins, I’ll probably move on to another game. I like this game, but It’s feeling more and more like a FTP mmo.

So I went exploring on the ground and I can’t find anything of interest south of the docks in the cliffs. Has anyone found anything interesting down there? I mean there’s a few mobs to kill but not much else. No easter eggs or anything that I could find, just sand and one small wrecked ship.

But the only thing I’ve said in the last half hour is thanks… Like 3 times…

The previews tell us alot about this new content, but leave out the most important question of all.

Is the rapier skin going to be available for us to buy? How about the other datamined skins?

I really want this sword skin, because it actually matches the sword animations we have much better than any of the existing longsword, machette, or roman style swords we have in the game. The sword animations look like they should be a rapier or sabre, and this sword would match those so well… I need one of it for each of the classes that can wield a sword.

The rapier is the first sword model for the game that I’ve seen that to me, matches the animations we have for humans/sylvari. Thus I need 3-4 of them, one for each character I have that can wield a sword.

Yeah, the RNG gods didn’t smile on me for the fused weapon skins which is what I REALLY wanted, nor did they even glance my direction for the sclerite weapon skins, and so far, they are just pretending I don’t even exist for the Jade weapon tickets…

Just let me buy a ticket for $5 in the gemstore and I’ll buy a couple of them…

Been away for a couple weeks, came back and I’m having this problem too. I’m using a keybind to doge, and it cancels the autoattack about half the time when I dodge. It’s annoying enough that I switched to an alt that doesn’t dodge, becasue it’s a pain not having that stick.

Ugh. 75 chests, 0 skins.

But I’ve never had much luck with RNG. In 13 years of playing MMOs, I think I’ve gotten the item I’ve wanted maybe 2-3 times within the first 40 tries.

The glow isn’t included in the changes you can make with the hair kit. only the full makeover kit lets you change the glow.

It’s like hot dogs and hot dog buns.

We may never know the answer.

Race: Sylvari
Gender : female
Body: Top row, last body.

Medium Noble Armor set, there’s a gap between the hands and sleeves. Not too visible from some angles, really visible from others.

Are the coins still dropping? Ran 4 jumping puzzles and no coins.

Nike.2631:

I’m waiting for the explosive screams of rage when its revealed that completing all achievments related to frost & flame after all 4 parts are released will award a once-per-account molten weapon ticket.

This is the very reason I’m not buying any keys and saving what I do get until the end of the event, just in case this happens.

Doggie.3184:

Cuz of their Whale leap with Death Blossom.

Now I must find a video of this…

Race: Norn
Gender : Female
Armor : Swindler medium armor set

The shoulders look right on sylvari and humans, they actually angle down on the shoulders, but on norn they kind of hover…

Race: Sylvari
Gender: Female
Body : First Row, last body.
Armor: Acolyte set

On the left shoulder when you are looking at the armor from the back is a weird patch. It dyes with the armor so it’s not something clipping, but it doesn’t match the rest of the strap. It’s just a solid area of color
