Guild Wars 2

Shadow Dragon.9874:

I would assume that the gem store page itself has nothing to do with the actual loot tables of the black lion chests so by that logic the moment your client has updated to a new build you had the “new” black lion chests which included the permanent hair stylist contract in its loot table.

However do note that if the item has similar drop rate compared to the other contract items which also drop from the black lion chests, then the drop rates are incredibly low (like 1% chance or something like that, don’t know the numbers but I’m trying to say that the chances are very low).

I checked the trading post for this item and few buy orders have either been deleted (by the players) or they have been filled which would most likely mean that the item has already dropped to few people.

I noticed the same myself, so going to cross my fingers and keep trying. I just didn’t want to have thrown a ton of keys at nothing. Thanks for your response

Brother Grimm.5176:

New Gem store items often lags the updates by up to half a day.

You will not get those keys back no matter what the situation (but feel free to submit a ticket and ask).

Even if I don’t get a refund, I don’t want to buy more keys and use them unless I know that its actually a chance in the chest.

I saw the patch news about the Perm hair kit, something I’ve been after for a while. So after I patched I ran to try my luck at opening chests. Towards me finishing with my keys I was informed that the gem store has not been updated with any of the new items, and it makes me wonder does that mean the Chests have not been updated either with the chance at the Perm hair kit? cause if this is so that’s really screwy that you say its there when it isn’t. Does anyone know about this? Cause I want to know so if they wern’t updated I can ask for a refund on those keys cause I wouldn’t have spent them unless I was guaranteed a chance at the perm hair kit

All your questions are answered here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/dyes-in-the-new-account-wardrobe/

Yes I have read that, multiple times, and there seems to be people getting two ideas from these specific lines

“When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.” The specific AFTER is the hook, does that mean you will only unlock colours by double clicking the dye after the patch, or will dyes you learned be retroactive cause

“If you already have the same dyes unlocked on multiple characters, when you log in on additional characters, you will receive one unidentified dye for each duplicate dye already unlocked on your account.” Only states that if you already have that dye unlocked on more than one char you will get an unidentified dye from it, it doesnt say this dye that you already knew is now unlocked across all your characters.

I know this might seem a little silly but I want to make sure about this. If I have already learned a dye, say Celestial on my Main character, when the patch on April 15th hits, will I now have Celestial colour across all my characters, or will I need to relearn this colour to unlock it across my account? I ask because there seems to be people on both sides and no information from Anet on this. Any firm proof, or an answer from Anet would be appreciated.

I’d like to ask if this is going to happen, I missed the chance to buy it cause of outside forces that kept me away for the 24 hours the sale was going on, and I really would like to get one. Are you planning on putting it back in the store at some point or anything? Cause the release page https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/december-10-2013/ shows on it that you will be selling it for the entire event yet it, and the two week one are not on the TP nor have they been since the 24 hour perm sale.

What’s with the solo instancing? I thought you stopped with this, I want to play an MMO to play with my friends, not to be locked outside. Now my friends that rely on me to help them can’t get it done.

Edit: Sorry for Clarity the first story when you enter Kessex Hills, I go there with my friend then suddenly we get thrown into seperate instances and and its just like not fun cause we cant even go at the same pace, and as a squishy she can dish it, but i’m usually there to keep stuff off her as a Guardian. It just kind of ruins it when we can’t play together

Is there an average wait time on these issues from this new support company? Its been over 2 hours and with the Anet support I was getting a response within 30 minutes on average. Its quite annoying cause I usually have this issue with gem purchases and have to get you guys to take a lock off and waiting just makes it a pain.

post your setup here; so the community can improve it. also post the professions you run with as well as their specs; so we’ll see if we can make suggestions.

My setup currently is a GS/Staff, PVT gear with Melandru runes and a spec of 0/0/30/30/10 and 5/6/11 2/9/11 2.

My friends setup is an elementalist D/D I think they usually run Berserkers gear, just kind of realised i never asked them lol. If theres a better suggestion for what their Ele should run I’m all ears for that too

What runes are you using? And trinkets? Do you use infusions?

As I said Melandru runes, and trinkets are also Ascended Berserker with full agony resistance infusion. Changing these isnt a problem as I have tons of extra guild tokens and laurels.

I usually roam abit on my own and with a friend in WvW alot, and I’ve constnatly found this probably that when we run into a group of 2 equal people we just seem to get destroyed, I cant do enough damage to kill someone, while I also cant do enough healing to keep us alive.

I’ve gone through quite a few builds, weapon sets, and armor sets trying to find something that works but I just am not able to do so. Was hoping for some advice from other guardians, I just cant seem to find the right mix that works.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yep, I think I’m done. I thought Anet actually back up their word on this, I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on the cash store and defended other things they have done, but I’m not paying for this. I’m not saying I’m quitting GW2, but they have to earn my trust back till I start being a paying customer again.

I’m in the same boakittens

mainly the fact they said it in multiple places of it being one way, and then patch hits and they just go Our bad, we misled you sorry. Like honestly how am I suppose to trust anything like these kind of promises in the future?

I have ex-mf “Soulbound” equipment in my bank that can’t be removed by anyone of my characters. These items were not soulbound before the patch. I tried right clicking the item to give them stats, and it worked, and now it says soulbound. To whom? No clue. I guess my bank now owns them…

I didn’t even think about this, I checked and i have soul bound equipment that doesn’t belong to any char in my bank, and I cant do anything with it! And I have friends that have this same issue. This tells me this was either totally unintentional and it was suppose to be account bound, or they screwed up so beyond belief they didn’t think a single step ahead of getting rid of MF. This is ridiculous, now not only do I have equipment I cant use, BUT ITS STUCK IN MY BANK FOREVER.

This is in my opinion, not just a bungling but in some ways deeply disrespectful. The information you gave ahead of time made it sound like we would be able to transfer these magic find items to other characters, and now your basically saying Well we meant MF gear that wasnt already soulbound….. well if it wasnt already soulbound why even bring up the issue in the first place? This is beyond ridiculous and now i have both armors, ascended rings, amulets and accessories that are worthless.

I don’t need two sets of armor, the only reason I had them before was for MF. This really needs to be rectified, and if its true about he upgrades being the problem, THEN REMOVE THE UPGRADES. I would rather have an account bound ascended item or armor that i could transfer, then worrying about the kitten upgrade. This is making me feel that you did not plan this out as far ahead as you lead us to believe, and also leaves a foul taste in my mouth of efforts like this you may attempt in the future. I hope that you will take into consideration the amount of people you have affected with this change and rectify it so that we may put our items where they are needed, and not just sitting useless.

Edit: And not to be rude Josh, but your post comes across as a big middle finger without any actual accepting of responsibility or plan to help those that were affected by this change and LIED to about the changes. It doesn’t clear things up, it basically says, yah we lied, too bad, cry about it.

I’m not sure why you started doing solo content for the storylines of both Southsun and Dragon Bash but its really the wrong direction, a lot of the fun I had in my personal story was doing it with my friends. Now I’m being separated from them by some artificial barrier. This is an MMO, its meant to be multiplayer. It just seems wrong and not fun, cause I know a few of my friends even have problems with being overwhelmed by mobs in these stories cause of their class type.

Please make the story stuff joinable again like the original personal stories were, and let us play together.

Keep getting this bug Bad bone constraint transform on bone(bone:blade¹⁵) when going between zones once in awhile, and everytime I try to zone into wvw, if I remove my weapons and back piece, it lets me go about just fine, the weapons are Fractal Greatsword, Gnarled walking staff, and Beta Fractal Capacitor. I have let the game client send this info in about 8 times, but thought I’d try to give you some more information.

Agreed, bought 70 and got 1 pet, and a ton of crafting materials, when all i wanted was the weapon ticket, piece of garbage chest, not falling for it again in the future.

When the Halloween update came out, the skins that came from the chests were sellable on the TP, same with those from the original South Shore patch, the Christmas ones you allowed us to pick and purchase what ones we want, but with the last two, the Molten Facility and now South shore update we have these tickets that are account bound and RNG from special chests.

I’m not trying to say that these should be a gurantee out of the chests, just that like the miniatures they should be able to be sold on the TP. This would allow those that dont want them to sell them, and the ones that do the buy them. The chests already have skins that can go up on the TP. I think you would find that more people would buy teh chests if they knew they could sell the items from inside on the TP, and that others that wish to buy these skins would trade in gems for gold in order to do so.

I’m hoping this is the place to put this, but noticed today a character in Gendarran fields water porting around all over the place, basically instantly popping from one mob to another to another almost instantly and over ridiculous distances. Tried to find a way to report this person, but the report function doesnt have anything for this except botting, is that what it should be reported under? And if not where? Also is this a known issue that will be fixed soon, or is this a brand new problem that should be reported whenever its noticed?

Whine more Swizzle? Many other games do PTR’s for months of their patched content and then it finally gets released its still causes problems. Give them awhile to fix the problems before you go off that they dont test this stuff. Theres a major difference between testing anything, and when it actually goes live, many unforseen problems occur.

Anet, please just put back the lag until a more longterm solution can be figured out, the current overflow just denies both guesters and server players from being able to do the dragons. I would suggest doing this, then making it so that you cant get dragon chests from another server, this should eliminate the problem entirely.

For those having issues with this fractal, found a way to get it done, bring the hammer from below, and then pull the boss into the alcove. Defeat him there, then go pull mobs to you, charge up hammer, and rush and hit the seal, then go back to boss. Rinse repeat till last part, during this you need to use BOTH hammers the one he drops and the one you brought, charge both up then one after another hit the seal, will compete the fractal.

Can confirm, and if you reset it by all dying he just starts spawning infinite mobs.
