Guild Wars 2

The problem for most of us who play, well, for FUN, is that the wurm/marionette are both bafflingly chaotic – I tried looking up what to do but there was so much reading up long complicated techniques and learning them off by heart it wasn’t remotely fun. You couldn’t just turn up and have a go, and mapchat was always full of people moaning about idiots who don’t know what they’re doing spoiling it for everybody else Well, ok, I let them keep it all for themselves and didn’t bother with it, and so did a lot of other players.

By creating content where people can’t just muck in, but have to have pre-learned, from the internet, their exact role in a long and complicated technique, Anet might as well have designed this content specially to create friction The fact is, people who take it very seriously think all those just having a go for the enjoyment of it are idiots, and people who are just having a go think those taking it very seriously and getting cross about it are idiots. So the casuals leave it and don’t get the achieves and the serious bunch end up with too few players to do it. They’ve already had this issue with Teq, so why repeat the problem with this LS? I think if you keep the content challenging but essentially fun and not too technique-oriented, people don’t end up getting so irate. Once you start having very exact techniques to do things where it only works if everyone knows exactly what they’re doing then you create a mapchat full of haters. I would have thought that should have been obvious to Anet quite honestly. I blame them for their idiocy more than the haters.

I absolutely love this map. I’m usually a PvE-er but I like a bit of WvW from time to time too. This map seemed to combine the best possible elements of each, for me. I spent several hours grinning from ear to ear and squeaking as I streaked about as a ball of light, played hide-and-seek with enemies running round on my own, used my air skills to push people off the edge at exactly the right moment (sorry, that was me), and falling, falling, falling – I think we should have a thread for best falling pics Let’s call it ‘air-swimming’ shall we It was mad and amazing and hilarious, and it’s visually beautiful. MORE MAPS LIKE THIS PLEASE

Trying to target Shadow Behemoth, pressing Tab cycles through… other players. Green after green after green… can’t target SB at all, or any of the portals etc, except by going a loooong way away – and then it drops the target again as soon as I get close enough to start fireballin’.. Even from way back it seems to prefer sparkflies.

Also can’t target Claw of Jormag, Jungle Wurm or Golem (anything bigger than Wolfmaster in fact). Tab just cycles through irrelevant stuff inc other players. Sometimes I’m going through whole events and getting no credit at all due to not having targetted a single thing. (It was particularly bad in my first and only attempt at Scarlett’s Marionette thing – disastrous, couldn’t target anything at all and just died ALL the deaths) I’ve tried just fireballing madly in the hope it would autotarget something, but either nothing/other players gets targetted – even in the middle of mobs – or I incinerate bunnies or pick fights with moas.

Never used to have this problem, it seemed to start around 6 months ago, or so..seems to be getting worse though, if that’s even possible.

When I opened the new living story email, I received a Zephyr Sanctum Support Ticket, it just appeared in my inventory Random..

Assuming it doesn’t have some strange purpose in the new LS content (haven’t played it yet), I guess this must be a weird bug…? Not that I’m complaining, it’s just…odd!

edit Had a problem with items I needed for certain recipes on the wiki not appearing in my discovery pane.

But apparently some recipes require you to acually purchase a recipe, you can’t ‘discover’ them. That’s why then I guess But I wish it said so somewhere – doesn’t say so on the wiki, I only found out by one little mention of ‘Requires Recipe Item’ on one website that isn’t even an official GW2 info site sigh

Sooo…ignore me. Nothing to see here

Well that’s disappointing to read I ordered the CD set about 6 months ago, and apart from one single reply to my initial opening of a Support ticket I have had no further responses from them and of course, no CDs.

In fact I only actually wanted a digital download but there wasn’t one so had to order the CD set; I would still be happy enough with a digital download of the soundtrack if the CD is no longer available. Unsurprisingly no-one from anywhere involved in the CD’s sale has contacted me to tell me it’s not available. Or that it IS available. Or anything at all in fact.

I recently complained in these very forums about the fact it’s still listed in the official GW2 merchandise shop, and was told by the forum mods it was nothing to do with Anet if Anet listed it for sale in their own official shop (???)…so that’s that cleared up then :/

Hmm well it’s in the GW2 shop. Click on the shop tab at the top of the page, and there it is. They really shouldn’t continue to list it for people to keep blindly clicking on if everyone is aware that it’s actually a scam. As long as it’s there, it’s their responsibility, if only in part. If they don’t want any part of it they can just remove the listing. Obviously they’re quite happy for people to keep on clicking the listing and being robbed of $39.99.

Thanks for answering and everything but… my money was taken 5 months ago and I’ve had no sensible response to my repeated requests to be sent the item I ordered – that’s not slow turnaround. In the UK that’s illegal. Maybe it’s perfectly OK in the US but somehow I doubt it.

I bought the OST via the GW2 merch shop back in June, I never received it

I’ve sent Directsong loads of emails, I’ve got a Support Number with them, which appears to be less than useless as they just don’t answer any of my mails

How can this be an ‘official’ purchase?? Why is this in the GW2 merch shop if it’s just a ripoff?? Anyone else have problems paying for this and then not receiving it or is it just me? Is it because I’m in the UK? If they don’t dispatch to the UK they should just say so, instead of just taking my money and not sending the CDs. How is this allowed?

:(

Any suggestions appreciated. It’s too late to get my money back through Paypal payment protection now.

Last time I buy any GW2 merch. I never thought buying stuff officially through the shop would be a scam.

Nope, didn’t work for me either. I used up 15 aether key pieces in the end trying to get the achievement for daily – nothing

Fixed for me too… and I got my perma-sickle

Me too! And I was just going to buy gems to get my permanent unbreakable sickle before the sale ran out! Please fix this so I don’t miss it Tarnished Coast, btw

I think I have the same issue.. I’ve done 6 invasions now but the achievement in Vorpp’s Field Assistant just doesn’t keep up with them, it was stuck at 2/5 until the last invasion I did last night when it finally went up to 3/5, don’t know how long it will take to go up again at that rate! Certainly doesn’t seem to be advancing properly.

Mine’s gone AWOL too

I had this in Diessa last night…all the Ascalonian ghosts were dressed as Separatists and very much corporeal Their weaponry was still ghostly though, bizarrely
