Guild Wars 2

And yes, thanks to the lovely time-stamp merging, we know that some conversations can get a little odd. That’s not a big deal. Forum members can sort it out as they read and post. More importantly, perhaps, devs can see the preponderant ideas and make decisions about them.

Hey,

This thread was merged at the request of the designers. Having one thread, instead of a dozen, makes reviewing easier and makes your feedback more meaningful. For one thing, having a merged thread hopefully persuades people to not post a dozen times with the same comment, and it encourage people to read the thread and see “That’s what I feel” so they can quote and add, instead of being redundant.

The objective absolutely is not to silence you, or brush the subject under the rug. The objective is to facilitate your feedback getting to the devs, and helping them review, appraise, and decide on any potential changes.

I am sorry. The forums are tricky, and merging can sometimes be a mess. I’m so sorry if I made an error on that.

We need to restart that thread. Would you be able to find the first post? Maybe copy it over? Or flag it for me via PM? I can’t pull out all the posts in a thread — they get sorted into the merged thread by timestamp — but we could restart the thread if it’s not about the topic of WHaO — which really needs to be merged to let the designers see all the feedback.

Please use this thread to provide your constructive feedback on the changes to We Heal as One. I know the developers are looking at your comments and concerns, so this merged thread will help them get the bulk of what you have to say.

Please note: If you’re rude, aggressive, or non-constructive, your posts will be removed. It’s that simple: Have a dialogue, a discussion, but please keep it valuable.

Thanks.

It was mentioned in the twitch stream that the new pets are not only for the Druid elite spec, but “for all rangers” as well.

https://youtu.be/K2ZHhJQn0B8?t=1650

Irenio – “’There are new pets that will be available in Heart of Thorns.”
Rubi – “And this is for all rangers, not just the druid.”
Irenio – “That’s right. This is kind of the thing that all rangers are getting access to in the Heart of Thorns.”

This is confusing to me. How can it be “all rangers” if the new pets are only available in HoT areas for those that own HoT? It would not be for all rangers, it would be only for rangers that own HoT.

As the juvenile form of the pet needs to be charmed, a regular ranger would not be able to get them as the juvenile form would only be available in HoT-only areas.

@Gaile (hiya, Gaile!)

• Is this just incomplete information given during the twitch stream by Rubi and Irenio or incorrect words used?
• Do the new pets actually require HoT and the Druid elite specialization unlocked to get them, but once gotten they can be used by non-druid rangers?
• Or is it as it came off as being – that HoT is not required to get the new pets as it was said that all rangers will have access to them?
• And if they are available to all rangers, does this possibly mean that pact Tyria will be seeing Mordrem and the juveniles of the new pets for base rangers to charm so base rangers can charm them outside of HoT-only content areas?

Interesting questions! I’m going to ask Irenio if he has a chance to take a look at these. I’m vested in the Ranger in a major way, and I don’t want to misspeak.

The team is aware of a bug with the engineer’s Medkit #1 skill “Med Blaster” that causes it to perform more powerfully than intended. In order to take time to correct this and prevent the use of this skill in its current form, Medkit #1 has been temporarily disabled. Once this issue is addressed, the skill will again be available for engineers.

Hey all,

I see a lot of questions about what’s coming, and sadly, I can’t answer those because I’m really not sure of the answers. We’ll put out a blog post and a release page that will have a lot of info about the event. That will be coming up in a couple of weeks.

Like you I have a few store items and a few drops that I’d like to see return, so I’ll be looking for that info, too!

We have temporarily disabled character creation while we address a serious issue. We are sorry for the inconvenience and will restore the character creation functionality as soon as we are able to do so.

It’s my favorite holiday! I decorate my house to the rafters, and I love, LOVE the event in Tyria. I could tell y’all sappy stories about my first Halloween in Lion’s Arch, but suffice to say that I’m really looking forward to it.

(And thanks, Adula — it was too tasty to resist! )

kurfu.5623:

My guild does missions every Saturday right after reset – are you saying we shouldn’t bother this Saturday?

Pretty sure that’s accurate, because the reset will happen a week from tomorrow and not this coming Saturday.

In order to accommodate development and hosting of Guild Wars 2 raids, we will be changing the time that guild mission resets take place each week. Starting Monday, October 5, 2015, guild mission resets will take place at 12:30 AM Pacific time each Monday.

Note: In order to make this adjustment there will be no reset on Saturday evening, October 3. Instead, that week’s guild mission period will be extended slightly to allow for this update. Subsequently, guild mission resets will occur each Monday morning, at 12:30 AM Pacific time.

Please post here as a continued general discussion about dungeons and fractals.

Thanks!

Hey all,

This thread has reached 100 pages (and that’s on largest threads per page)! We’re going to create a new general discussion thread, so please post there. No harm, no foul, no intended confusion or inconvenience, but the load time is a little daunting from some of our visitors, so it’s time to kick off a new one.

Hey all,

If you caught our coverage of TwitchCon, which wrapped up yesterday (9/26/2015), you may already be aware of this, but just to share with the whole creative community:

I’m going to be hosting a new show on our Twitch stream along with our PR Manager Elizabeth Stewart. The show is called Community Showcase Live. We debuted the show yesterday, and it was a ton of fun to show off the creations of our amazing community. Future programs will feature as much art and other fan creations as we can stuff into each episode!

The sky’s the limit, really. The inaugural show had drawings, paintings, sculptures, digital art, figures, recreations of in-game items, cosplay, videos, and even baked goods.

If you’d like to be considered for a future episode, please add your art to this forums or to our Tumblr page. If you’re doing the latter (Tumblr) please be sure to use the hashtag: “GW2 Fan Submission.” That tag gives us permission to share the art on our show. Posting here does not require anything special — post and you’re good.

Placing your art on both sites is perfectly fine; we’ll be looking for art to include on the show in both places. The forums automatically give us permission to display your work. Just be sure that on the Tumblr you use that all-important tag so we have the optiont to share your work when it comes in that way.

Thanks for all that you do to enrich our community!

Yay! So sorry for the mixups and seriously I’m calling across the plane to the team and they will be reading. Already are. (Personal note: do us rangers proud and keep this on topic and constructive. I have faith in you guys.. )

I’m going to close this because it’s become a little overly merged. We do have a new thread into which we hope you’ll contribute your feedback.

I’m sorta praying to the six gods that this thread is visible. We’re on a plane about to take off and this IS the thread the devs will be tracking for post-reveal feedback!!

~crosses fingers that it’s working ~

Hi,

I’m sitting at the San Francisco airport right next to a Irenio. We’re just flying back to Seattle from TwitchCon. I apologize that a moderator merged this thread. That is not what we want. As soon as I get home I will try to undo the merging but it’s going to take some time.

I am very sorry this happened and apologize to you guys here on the forums and to Irenio because I know he wants to read what you have to say. We’ll get it tidied so that he can read your feedback. Thanks for understanding.

Please direct your inquiries about refunds to the Customer Support Team. As others have pointed out in this thread, no player can answer the question of what you’re entitled to. Creating threads with intentionally, aggressively incendiary subject lines (which I have modified here to something neutral) isn’t appropriate, when no one here knows your specific situation nor the refunds to which you may or may not be entitled.

Thanks for posting the schedules, guys. It really helps keep people informed on what’s coming up! Right now, it’s Legendary Journey.

Yep, they’re warming up now. Soooo excited!

I talked to Maclaine, and he said they’d be doing a similar set to yesterday, so if you missed it, or want to hear it again, I highly recommend you tune into Twitch.

And we have some a really good conversation going on with Colin, Mike, Rubi, and Anthony.

Please share your constructive feedback about this weekend’s Druid reveal.

The dev team will be reading this thread and really appreciate all your thoughts.

Ta daaaa! I love it. Did y’all see it?

Thanks for sharing all your thoughts. Keep ’em coming.

In the meantime, the team definitely knows you’d like to see this performance preserved and shared!

Irenio and Rubi are talking about the Druid on Twitch NOW!!!

---

And it sounds Sweet! I can’t WAIT to try this!

/Happy Dance

I know. As a lifelong Ranger, I’m stoked!

So fun to win one of our ticket winners already. Hope y’all have a chance to stop by!

Irenio and Rubi are talking about the Druid on Twitch NOW!!!

So excited to be debuting our Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns trailer at TwitchCon. It’s coming up in about 13 minutes. We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts?

~happy dance~

Hooray for Pat!

We’ll get this sorted for you, Shadowblade, and for others who may come across this issue.

No need to worry, I promise!

Please turn into Points of Interest for more information.

LowestTruth.2635:

I think most people would feel a great disturbance in Tyria, as if a million voices cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.

I see what you did there.

I agree with you guys, Heimskarl is doing a great job on behalf of us Rangers!

If you’re thinking about attending TwitchCon next week, we have a special code that will give you 10% off the price of a ticket.

When purchasing tickets, use this code: CUYCN5

Well, I PMd all five winners, and did not hear from one by the deadline. Makes us sad, but I’m sure everyone will understand that we must set a response deadline so that we don’t have tickets that go without an owner!

Sooooo… I’m revisiting the entries and sending a new PM right now. Please check your mail and if you’re the winner who received notification today, please respond ASAP because we need to mail out the tickets tomorrow!

I am so sorry to hear of Karril’s passing. I know he will be missed, and I think you’ve planned a lovely memorial event in his honor, something that he would greatly love.

I will be keeping Karril and all of TC in my thoughts at this very sad time.

I really like this a lot!

We’ll be watching the thread, but things seem to have settled now.

Thanks again for your patience.

Hey all,

We will be contacting the winners today, and you’ll have 24 hours to respond to confirm your win. Otherwise, we have a handy little forge into which we’ll toss all remaining entries and hope for a gold in return.

We made a Hot Fix at 12:30 PM, but I’ve seen a few reports of PvP issues after the build. I’ve reported and we’ll see what transpires.

ARZK.8017:

Unfortunately the hotfix did not help. Entered a match and after some seconds the same client crash…

Since you wrote just after the fix, and I’m not sure if everything had a chance to settle down, would you mind updating to see if this truly is still broken?

EDIT: I see three of you wrote after the build was live. I will report this. Thanks.

So guys, We just updated. (Notes here.)

Let us know if things are better, or if you’re seeing continued issues.

Thanks.

I believe there is more than one issue. I think we’re having connection issues and issues with PvP (which of course includes SPvP). I’ve seen the build notes for a fix for the PvP issue, and the other connection and/or download issues also is being researched.

Thank you for these reports, and the details are exceptionally helpful.

The team is actively working on a fix for this issue. In fact, they’re already working on build notes, so I think we can anticipate a correction of this problem very soon.
