Guild Wars 2

I know it’s frustrating, but it’s a bug at the end of the game for players on one of 3 different paths, so it really doesn’t affect enough players to be worth risking a hotfix. (And updating just one content file isn’t trivial, so essentially we’d be pushing a bunch of other stuff that hasn’t had time to be tested.)

(Doesn’t really bother me either, I already beat it and don’t have a 2nd character anywhere close to that point yet) I just think there needs to be some sort of speedier update process :/

I understand your doing your best, there’s just a lot of things that need fixing right now xD

That is fine and all, but why exactly is a fix that would be (seemingly) simple. Take 6 days to implement? Especially when you are already testing it… Is there no sort of hotfix currently implemented? If not, I would think that would be the most important thing. Getting rid of scheduled updating and updating when a fix is ready. I know there are a few disadvantages to this, but in the most part its better than waiting 6 days for people who cannot progress through the game…

Well, with transmutation stones, anything that is unique CAN be strong and useable. Heck, I’ve transmuted my Trinity Axe that I got around lvl 50 a bunch of times all the way to exotic just because I like the look and the name. Of course I think it should at least be a rare L80 so it’s only one step below an exotic (and probably an upgrade, even if just short term). I’d also like if it came with a fine transmutation stone to make it really easy to convert the skin to an exotic. The important thing is just that it looks cool. Even if it’s just an existing cultural or faction option.

Though the more I think about this, I think they should just pull out all the stops and make me a cool elite skill. Something like:

‘We Owe You One’: Elite skill. A bunch of Pact leaders or even just pact soldiers come to your aid in your time of need. 5 min cooldown

or maybe

‘Power of Zhaitan’: Elite skill. You hold a fragment of Zhaitan’s tooth which you can harness to raise the dead to fight for you. Summons risen. 5 min cooldown

or some other thing. Elite skills associated with major story arc achievements could be really cool and would even make for some interesting future possibilities with other expansions or achievements. I want to collect new elite skills!

Agreed. This could also lead to huge possibilities of skills-for-accomplishments to somewhat compensate the (in my opinion) lack of skills.. Theres like 50 total :/

It would be difficult to balance this correctly though would be the only problem. Because it of course cant be too strong. Or it could be a PvE only skill etc.

Or just an option on death “Respawn at last waypoint” which FOR FREE, resurrects you at the most recent waypoint you triggered.

This would include the waypoints when you just enter an area that are automatically identified, etc. You would not have an option of which one to go to, but it would be free to go to the last one you were at.

Pretty sure there is an option for this in the settings…

(99%, double checking now. Will report back.)

According to the 3d model it does not appear to have particle effects.

(However, with it being that expensive I would kind of expect it to.)

Pretty nice gallery you have there

I’m not actually sure this is the best idea. I mean, it is an ok idea and I wouldn’t be sad if it happened but I think they could do better in a few ways.

First, as you only need 1 weapon in some cases, getting an exotic is actually getting quite a lot and does undermine the efforts of crafters. A better solution is to grant a special rare with an exotic sigil. Perhaps something with a cultural skin that I’d otherwise have to spend a bunch of gold on and which I could later use to transmute an exotic.

I’m much more in favor of some ‘special’ item than an exotic weapon. If they created a special set of weapons or armor skins that would be great, but even if it was just some way to exchange for one or more vigil/whispers/priory skins I’d be happy. And of course make them useable (L80 rare maybe with a fine transmutation stone to go with it)

I agree with this also. Honestly, I think the biggest problem comes from “perfect” weapons being impossible to find. They are currently (estimating) 80g… Thats insane.

There is no way to give someone something they WANT, while still making it practical in an economy like this. Really the only fix I see plausible is something that may break the economy…

I agree with something unique, but it cant JUST be unique. It also has to be strong and usable… If you can get it somewhere else, you can be assured the bots will be there hounding at it to get them. That’s why that idea wont work (in my opinion).

I never had this problem. I have had similar problems with NPC’s if you talk to them after they have said a line and are supposed to complete an action.

Maybe try it one more time, and at the end do not be close to her. If you talk to an NPC it resets their current action. I believe this is a bug that will be fixed soon, but no word as of yet :/

I tried to reply to this in the other thread, but I think it’s locked. Anyway

Just want to say Thank you to arenanet for not giving away free exotics just for completing the story quest. Other mmo’s throw free (highest quality) gear at you left and right, and it makes the game boring. Thank you for not giving out free exotics, and allowing people who leveled crafting professions to 400 benefit from their hard work. I can’t believe there is so much crying about getting blues/greens for finishing the story quest. Gear is not that important in this game…. maybe people will realize eventually.

keep up the good work. I love you guys.

Your an idiot if you honestly believe this is a suitable reward to spending hours upon hours working for a personal story.

If you want to level crafting, that’s great! But, I spent more hours, and time myself, (not just buying gold from some online seller to buy crafting items), to beat the campaign. To only be rewarded with crap so bad I don’t even remember it because I merched it all before I left the final area….

And yes, I am blatantly stating that for you to have gotten lvl 400 crafting that quickly, and not be disgruntled by this, that you cheated for it.

I 100% support this.

This solves most of the end-game problems, and honestly, would be simpler than most other fixes.
Also extremely easy to retroactively fix. (Just mail a friggen talon to everybody that has already finished it?) “Commander, after the celebration was finished, a Talon of Zhaitan was discovered when cleaning the dead. We would like to offer it to you giving you the singular honor of wielding it as a weapon of your choice.”

This is a rather simple solution, to a complex, horribly made, terribly fixed, problem.
