Guild Wars 2

you know 9/10 I don’t really care that GW2 has more bugs than an Ants nest but this is taking the absolute kitten

So finally got into a god map for the end area in Dragon Stand and it is going great MOM is at 10% and out of know where the Client DCS and kicks me to Character screen

The only one time I have ever DC and you have to do it to me in the one area I spent 6 trys so essentially 10-12 hours doing

if you are going to continue this you need to get you act together

absolute kittening disgusting to do this to players

needless to say You ave ruined a very enjoyable fight.

Hi there

I have been using this skill since Day 2 and yet to see it work as intended

I’ve made sure I met all the pre-requests but still nothing happens

The Tool kitten CLEARLY shows:

Damage foes around you. Summon a shambling horror plus additional horrors near each enemy struck. Shambling horrors absorb damage for their master as long as they are attacking

1: I have 5 Horrors summoned most times

2: there is no AI (Like hunters) for me to point them at so i cannot force them to attack but they do go to the Mob i am attacking and yet I see NO Dps from them

24 There health remains 100% at all times, checking combat logs I can see zero difference with them In use or not………

Can some one look into this please?

Morning

I logged in about 18 minutes ago worked fine then Not sure if its related but i was in the game for 18 minutes then kicked out then getting: wont let me get logged in at all now

Error code: 58:11:5:535

Holy……..******* * #$#$#$ @#@!!!

Talk about taking this to a NEW NEW NEW LEVEL

well thanks for information mate,,,,,,, jeebus i was not expecting this kind of nonsense

@Lanfear, cheers for info

@DTATL

rewards tracks…… being PVP? or reward tracks in the new area?

Hi

Can some one confirm how we get the sword/armour Skin if this is

1: Simply using all traits and points in (Skills/Specialisations)
2: a Mastery to get this ?

TIA

@ Robert Gee/ Karl

Patience and understanding aside…… still nothing ? Please tell me you didn’t start 3 feedback threads and decide to give us no changes in line with all the good feedback ….

Can we please have an update.. I am 100% aware you are busy but if the other devs Gave feedback I am certain you can spare 10 minutes to give Zerk/Choro/Reaper feedback changes also

@ Robert Gee / Karl

IS there any update for our Necromancers / Reapers?

Been over 12 days Since beta and no new notes of changes regarding our feedback

Could we have an update please?

Have a good evening,

@ Robert Gee

Any update for us please? regarding feedback given in BWE3?

OMG!!!!!

The Raven staff is BEYOND amazing

Hope the glow glow and circling ravens is out ALL the time during combat

Grymlocke.1067:

you really think people are stupid enough to NOT know how this works ? No offence you must have a very low IQ to think people are beyond basic understandings….

You must be new to the forums, people don’t have basic understanding of a lot of things. I literally just had two people tell me that Moa doesn’t kill minions anymore, and someone said Soul Spiral gave LF. And to follow up on not understanding “basic” mechanics we have a quote from someone familiar…

Grymlocke.1067:

Skill 5 was ready
Skill 6 was on 15 seconds CD
Skill 7 was on 18 seconds CD
Skill 8 was on 6 seconds CD

Skill 5 Pressed and it didnt affect Any of the other skills on CD, now I cannot say if this was the same for my mate I can only give my own results

That… isn’t how it works. Each time you cast a shout, it checks how many people you hit, and reduces the CD of that shout you used by 7% per person hit. So you might want to go and correct that last statement about low IQ and not understanding basic mechanics.

IF that is indeed the case then I apologise and stand corrected,

I was going on two bits of official information

1:

P.O.I for the Reaper shows nothing to do with each shout reducing the CD of each individual shout but shouts i.e.. I took it to be it reduced them in plural not singular
went back to it today and made No reference to each one only affecting each skill,

• Time frame – 4:10 -5:20

GW2 Wiki shows:

Your shouts recharge faster for each foe they hit. Recharge Reduction per Foe: 7%

Again Plural used not singular….

But as you said, That is not the case so thank you for the correction in information.

Optimus Prime.8015:

Another Bug I have seen is the Trait that reduces Cool down of shouts

7% per target hit so 35% but when testing it it didn’t work it didn’t reduce CD of shouts at all

You weren’t paying attention, then, because it works perfectly.

For example, hit 5 targets and the cooldown timer for Your Soul is Mine starts at 13 seconds instead of 20.

Clearly he was paying attention as I have spoke to 4 others in my Guild who noticed it bugging as well, clearly all 5 of us are NOT paying attention ?

dont jump to conclusions muppet

Apparently not or you would have noticed it working all the time. What were you doing, equipping the trait, then looking at the shout tooltips?

When you have cooldowns based on particular circumstanes, the tooltip will never account for those. Why? because until those circumstances actually occur, there is no way to know for certain that they will occur. Notice that finisher skills don’t have the effects of their finisher factored into the tooltip? Pretty much the same reason.

you really think people are stupid enough to NOT know how this works ? No offence you must have a very low IQ to think people are beyond basic understandings….

First of all rather Easy to see if it is or isn’t working so unless some one is blind you can easily tell if the Trait is affecting said skills

I First tested it on PVP Golems firstly (9 of them to make sure I hit the Target Cap) and it didn’t work I logged in and out changed my traits 3 times and then decided to think possible these robots aren’t alive so in essence lets go try some other targets

As I said i then spoke to a few people in the guild who were also saying the same thing but of course 2 people said it worked for them I looked at there build to make sure and sure enough all exactly the same so i thought what the heck lets try some living things incase its some sort of living/damage/heal type of mechanic etc

I then went and spent 2 hours in SW and looked for opportunities to test it

1: When the *8 Goblins spawned at the attack of a new Event
2: Lane one of the VW Phase when you had ample targets
3: Under ground with Bee boss + gobbys
4: Hyenas + wolfs

Example

Skill 5 was ready
Skill 6 was on 15 seconds CD
Skill 7 was on 18 seconds CD
Skill 8 was on 6 seconds CD

Skill 5 Pressed and it didnt affect Any of the other skills on CD, now I cannot say if this was the same for my mate I can only give my own results

so my point which remains is ok it seems to of worked for some people and not others……. so was this bugged for me YES was it bugged for my mate YES but it bugged for you Clearly no.

next time maybe accept there is issues and the fact you do not have an issue doesn’t mean one does not exist in one shape or form

Quick Question,

From what I have been reading, other people state it worked for them but me and my mate were using it and When I/we was using the Trait Augury of Death it did NOT function at all on my shouts

???

TJgalon.5012:

Yeah, it not like lots and lots of people trying to access the same thing at the same time, oh wait, they are.

Really? you don’t say wow I didn’t realise this, Im Truely sorry (FYI Sarcasam)

Servers should not be this overloaded/poor that people get 1kbps

The last patch took 4 hours to download and 2 hours to let me back on now for a 100mb file and quick patch check no way that should have happened, and even the forums took over 20 minutes to get working again

Any chance we can get this fixed once and for all ?

1: Better servers?
2: More bandwidth?

1kbps been offline for 59 minutes and you think this is appropriate?

Heaven BLOODY help us on HOT

Hmm tbh i was really gutted we didn’t get shape shifting its the one thing I was hoping for not because it was the one amazing thing from wow but because shape shifting has been my lure to most games

Healing looks ok but it doesnt show in the interview / broadcast

1: how long u stay in A/form for
2: does using skills drain it or lengthen it

Ayrilana.1396:

I’m against suggestions 1 and 2 as this would not be a good idea. Especially suggestion 1 at the quantities you listed. I’m okay with suggestion 3 if the quantities are reduced.

Ok, They were suggestions i.e open to evaluation/change etc and it was a Developer I was looking for an answer from but thanks for your opinon.

Was wondering if the Dev in charge of this could perhaps post a reply

I was wondering if there was any plans to change daily login rewards for HOT, ?

Most of the rewards are great and make it worth while being a GW2/HOT Player, However some of them are very well imho Meh!

The 3/10/17/24 day login rewards which gives luck is pretty useless considering how EASY it is to get luck in the game via de-con.

Suggestion 1: Make these all 7/15/30/50 Globs of Ectoplasm
Suggestion 2: Chest of the Miner/Lumber/Forger/Crafter * Tier 6
Suggestion 3: 3/5/7/9 Spirit Shards

The 4/11/18/25 which gives Black lions chests which has a chance of X/Y/Z

• Account Bound*

Suggestion 1: 5x Karma / 33% speed boost / 10% damage Boost / Gathering Scrolls
Suggestion 2: 5x Fractal / 5x Dungeon 5x Mastery / 5x Raid Scrolls

Any thoughts?

Well done, 2nd patch now cant even login to server at all !

is there a reason why when the game has an issue it takes like 3 minutes to get a page on the forum to work? taken me over 6 minutes to get this small post written and uploaded.?

Common sense mate

they didnt Remove no they messed up a patch yes

sigh…….

Ive just heard the patch broke fractals tab to join fractals as well … epic

Still nothing….. cant wait for Anet to say “its nothing to do with them”

As topic says

Loading launcher

error message: Connection error(S) Detected Retrying

and does nothing

Hi Robert thanks for the updated notes

a few questions

Feedback on changes for BW3

Greatsword:

Dusk Strike/Fading Twilight: Fixed an issue where these skills would occasionally not award their listed life-force values.

Would it not be better to up the Life force gain on these skills as well as fit the bug of not granting life-force? Using Dagger/Staff

you can get Full life-force back in 4-5 seconds but with Great sword seems hmm for lack of a better word clunky

Nightfall: Increased radius of this skill by 60 for all pulses. Maximum radius is now 360. Added effects to show damage/combo field radius.

Fixed an issue which caused the combo field to persist longer than the effect of this skill.

Would it not be better to add a Pull effect to this skill and make the radius 450-600?

Shouts:

“Chilled to the Bone!”: Lowered recharge from 120 seconds to 90 seconds.

Reduced chill duration from 8 seconds to 6 seconds.

Is there any reason to reduce the chill on this skill? I mean 90 seconds vrs 6/8 seconds doesnt really mean anything

apart from helping us keep up time I would have thought you would increase skill to 10 seconds

“Rise!”: Updated minion models. Do tell? J the previous models were like Siamese hairless cats on steroids

spoj.9672:

Just be patient. Jebus…

I don’t need you telling me what you believe to be my mind set or to be patient thanks all the same Spoj.9672

I can post a comment like anyone else,

@ Robert Gee

Where are our updates!

Give us more!!!!!

You just did this to mess with peoples’ hearts.

I was told last week it would be 2/3 days and its been over 8 days later no notes :*(

Now that Robert has un-sticked the post Im hoping we will get new notes today

@ Robert Gee

Where are our updates!

Give us more!!!!!

Fao Devs

some issues during the event which are not event related

1: Loading screen currently are like 20-30 seconds (No its not my Laptop)
2: server today has been lagging badly in Event areas

@ Gaile Gray

10th

4 chests from 4 map events

• 2 I did get

11th

3 chests from events that didnt happen
3 chests i did get

you mentioned via the coming days via mail

how in heavens name are you gonna have enough staff to check 0.5 – 1 million players logs if the issue is this widespread :S

Yeah issues still remain regarding participation or something else

Its a Friday and it should be fixed before the weekend,

Ive taken screenshots of where I have many buffs/ranks but no reward not exactly sure how much ÿou"owe me for the events I have done but I hope the logs are better and more accurate than the empty promises thus far

Hi there

is there some underlying issues?

I have been told if you get 10 stacks (ranks) when doing each map you get a minimum of 10-15 blooms but every chest I have had today has been only * 5 Blooms

last maps i did I had

11 stacks for B/woods (should have been more than 5)
9 stacks Kessek woods (minimum 5)
14 stacks for D/Plateau (Should have been more than 5)

so is this going to be fixed? I really dont wish to spend 96 hours to get the max amount of blooms for the reward vender so far retroactivlty im still due 6 chests from yesterday * if we ever get them, and then the issues today

The participation algorithm needs to be looked at

out of 21 events I did it only awarded me rank 14 and I can easily say I did as much in all of those as i did the 14 vrs 21

Not sure if its

1: DPS/DT
2: Blowing things up with seed bombs
3: destroying shield generators
4: Repairing Catapults

but some times it isn’t awarding

P.S Is there anyway to quicken the pace with these things,

1: make it do 30 events in 30 minutes or less if we do 30 in say 19 minutes let it end then we can move onto the next area, and not wait 30 more minutes

Another thing if possible

Can we please see about updating the speed between maps, finishing one map then waiting over * 30 minutes for the next map to start is very boring to say the least

@ Gaile Gray.6029:

I truly hope this is the case I did all the events and got nothing

Event 1 14 stacks
Event 2 16 stacks
Event 3 15 stacks

pretty sure I would be in for silver/gold with that amount of effort

Fingers crossed.

Well done A-net

2 events all buffs show + 15 and no rewards….

How does one say fantastic beyond semi phenomenal epic failure

19 events did during the 30 minutes and nothing…..

well played! A-net you trolled us perfectly!

same got silver and no rewards….. either its bugged or you epically trolled us

no blooms after event??? whats wrong?

30 minutes 19 events participated in and nothing gained/dropped?

yeah

either 1: some one got there times wrong on Anets end or something is wrong no events no massive changes i can see

@ Robert Gee

Any update its been 4/5 days since event was over any new updates/ changes for us

I submitted alot of feedback for the last BWE2 Event

@Niklas

MY reward level is 31

I just did a level 9 no chest
I just did a level 14 no chest
I just did a level 30 today no chest
I just did a level 40 today no chest

Only seem to be getting level 50 chest once then nothing on the other ranges

do i need to get personal rewards level to 50 before i will regain the ability to get a tiered chest again or is it best to do all ranges apart from 50 and see if that works ?

MY suggestions

1: Race change
Price 1000 gems

• if you have completed your story quest you can change your race

2: Mawdrey

Dear A-Net i truely love this little guy but hes been connected to my back for many months and has not grown is there any chance you can allow us to purchase a skin for him to be 3 tentacles one that goes left one that goes right and one that dangles down the way , you would make me a very very very happy bunny

3: More weapons skins!!!!! * I’ll even design some for you FOC

4: Better Log axes / Gathering

• For the log one it would be 5% chance per Attempt to get an extra log etc?
• For the Plant one exactly the same 5% change of extra items

5: Themed outfits based on new Elite specs coming in HOT

Example Reaper Lich form outfit Warrior / Barbarian Form outfit

6: Ability to dye our wings if we so choose to

7: Active Level-able pets,

@ Gator

I am aware of how it works per tier and how the reset works

I am doing it on the same character so i know the times and tiers I have done

Today I did a Level 50 Fractal and got the chest, i then did a level 30 and i didnt get a chest, something is wrong as i have not done this level 30 fractal in 2 days so the reset server issue isnt whats causing it

So not sure if there is any bugs or if im just unlucky

Fractals should be:
1-9 1 Extra chest
10-19 1 Extra chest
20-39 1 Extra chest
40+ 1 Extra chest

Yesterday I did a level 4 and didn’t get the chest
Yesterday i did a level 13 and didn’t get the chest
Yesterday i did a level 20 and did get the best

Today I did one level 50 and got chest
Today I did one left 30 and didn’t get chest

anyone had this issue on and off?

Many thanks

Hi there

So some feedback for the Necromancers Elite Spec – The Reaper

Pre Point 1:

Scale of the Scythe seems way out of proportion so may be worth while adjusting the scale of this for the next BWE

Great-Sword Equipped

Skill 1: DS/FT/CS

Damage seems fine with some set-up’s I have tried but still feels so slow not sure if this is going to work considering the time needed to get 1 DS /2FT /3CS off But Damage seems fine,

Skill 2: Grave Digger

Skills seems good, never been to keen on the animation but overall as long as used correctly can be a big boost to any group if adds are together / positioning is correct

• only thing I could add here is reduce the Cast time if succession is used again the next skill or within 2 seconds for example :

First use: use 1.25 seconds
Second use: 1 second
Third use: 0.75 seconds

Skill 3: Death Spiral

Always like this skill but felt the name didn’t truly fit the name or the animation, one thing I would suggest would be to edit the 5th skill to make it an AOE pull in multiple directions skill or change Death Spiral to an AOE 360 radius skill

Death Spiral:
Number of Targets 5
Radias 360

Animation would be a full Cyclone effect but with Icy power that pulls enemys in slowly over 5/6 seconds and then chills and stuns at the end

Skill 4:

Good solid skill, Only feedback I have for this skill is the Radius needs to be larger, The growing affect is good but would suggest increasing its Max range to 360 (at a quicker rate) or higher

Skill 5: * please see Skill 3 notes

Shouts:

The idea behind a shout is if you think about it shouts are pretty much about 2 things

1: Instant / Spontaneous
2: AOE (Can be heard by all Allies and enemies alike)

The only thing I could suggest for these shouts is to make them Instant and when looking at the effects prolong the Dots/buffs/Debuffs/slow/stuns for 2/3 seconds longer, The Cool down reduce via targets is quite nice but apart from dungeons/ SW you rarely get more than 1/2 adds together

• I am purely speaking from a PVE perspective

Reaper Shroud Skills

Skill 1: Good Solid skill works nicely

Skill 2: Charge skill seems to be OK but could do with a knock down on adds when charging or applying some kind of dot to enemies in the path

Skill 3: Stability is good for the 6 seconds

Skill 4: goods skill however would advise increasing the duration by 1-2 seconds or increase spin rate as the skill builds

Skill 5: This skill seemed very much like a Finisher lovely animation but could do with some extra love

Apart from that the class is shaping up lovely

Well Done Devs!

Hi yargesh:

Thanks for the Link

From what I have read there that was not a Hero point reset as much as a change of the old system used versus the new system implemented :

Hero points and Spirit Shards
Hero points and spirit shards represent an updated version of the previous skill point system

Base attributes now increase at every level from 2 to 10 and every even level from 12 to 80.

Hero points are now earned every odd level from 11 to 80. A total of 398 points are earned through levelling

So Im hopeful The Devs will allow us either

1: do a reset when HOT goes live to allow us to use the points in the new Elite spec
2: Some sort of 300/500 gem Hero point reset thing in the Gem Store

Hi Yargesh

When did we get this reset?

I have only joined 40 days ago but I have never logged on and seen all my Hero points reset? Was it before the last 2 months?

• edit I asked in game and the 6 players who answered in map chat lions arch havent heard of any reset yet

Just wondering if we will get a reset of points when Heart of Thorns goes live, as its been speculated the cost for elite spec could be quite high.

My main Character (At the moment has 294 points)

My second has only 18 points

My Third has 19 points

So was wondering if a reset will be done to allow people to utilise the new Spec right away
