Guild Wars 2

Same happend to me W2Z2 on the Chekpoint after the first squid …. fell through the ground and there are invisible walls i cant get out of !

KaitoAkuma.9103:

You need to interact with the log.

Thats what i meant by “Read the Log” but if i press f nothing happens

Also i bought the whistle in Zone 3 maybe thats why its bugging out ?!

When i read the log with the song 1 2 3 on it nothing happens / my character doesnt say anything nor the log.

If i play 1 2 3 and wait for the tone to play nothing happens
If i play 1 2 3 and unequip the whistle inbetween notes nothing happens
If i press 1 2 3 without waiting nothing happens aswell….

I heard if you play the song the moto head appears on the ground … well not working for me.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Queen’s Gauntlet will return, possibly as part of the activity rotation or even other events. In any case, you’ll be able to complete those achievements at a later date.

So the achievements we did are nothing special, we dont get any title or reward and could have saved our nerves ? Thanks thats very kind

In my opinion you should get a title for completing ALL of the gauntlet achievements, not only this one.

Something like “Queen’s Champion” or so.

And make it only availabe for this living story so we can have a rare limited title for once that makes it special. As with the other lame living story titles that you got for pressing f 150 times, you cant get them either if you didnt participate in the living story. So dont complain that it is “impossible to get for you” its an achievement !

Coldin.2840:

How is anyone going to manage to hit her with 8 orbs, and still manage to kill her before the time limit is up?

Well i almost did it …. if phase 2 starts just bring her down to ~5% Life and then focus on Orbs. I had thrown 8 orbs in total but then i got downed by an illusion that was behind me. But I need to know if i only need 8 orbs or 11 orbs and change some tactics and try something else.

Do you have to hit her with 8 additional Orbs of Light ( 11 in total ) or do the 3 Orbs that are necessary to make her vulnerable count towards that achievement ( 8 in toal ).

Would like to get an answer from someone who already did this and no speculations, please.

It seems really hard but doable almost got it with my warrior and it would be nice to know if someones got it what class/traits/gear/skills he used.

GuardianOMS.8067:

lol says the person complaining about something ANet has already responded to by saying “there’s nothing we can do, good luck!”

Dude, you suggested to me that i dont party up with the enemy server. You should google or wiki the meaning of “SPY”.

And please link me that official statement of Anet if there is one.

And THIS suggestion i made is something they CAN do.

GuardianOMS.8067:

Don’t accept invites from “Server Invader”
Ignore invites from “Server Invader”
Is it really that hard?

please think before commenting

SleepingDragon.1596:

You can’t prevent spying in this game. You can easily buy another account and put it into any server you like. You’ll know the whereabouts easily.

Yeah i know. But it is still a huge difference to have a marker on the map with exact positions or verbal information with approximate whereabouts ( as i said before if you would have read ) it wouldnt stop spying, but it would help a little bit.

Master of Timespace.2548:

Yeah, you would just use a radio.
[…]
Say, there are spies in Eve online too, but there are also methods to deal with them.

You kinda dont understand this is a GAME and not REAL LIFE. You can controll it and make it fair and fun for everyone.

And i dont care if you can deal with spies in Eve online. You don’t have any options to deal with them in Guild Wars 2. Grouping reveals the EXACT position whereas with voip they can only pass on APPROXIMATE positions.

Dawdler.8521:

These silent “competetive” fights are ridiculous. Its completely realistic to be able to speak to your opponent.

It maybe realistic in real life to speak to your opponent, but i doubt you can group up in real life and have an interface of them inside your brain and chat with them via text and press m to see where they are.

But this is a game and its not realistic.

If the fun of 50 players gets spoiled because 1 guy is a jerk and leads the enemy zerg into you to wipe you, it is not acceptable !

Master of Timespace.2548:

They could achieve the same effect using a VOIP or video streaming anyway. Hell, they could even use a third party addon such as gw2mov.

So we should let them other options to make it even easier for them ?

We have serious troll and spy problems on our Server. There is no reason to help them, by keeping this unnecessary function to invite enemy players into your party. Basically the spy and the enemy commander group up and the spy keeps running with the zerg/commander from our server so the enemies know where we are.

It is hard enough already to play with all the trolls that pulverize our supplies and build 30 trebuchets at our mainbase and the spies that sit in our ts / map and pass on information where we approximately are and where our next movement gonna be.

But there is no reason to give them a marker on the map !

Just some tips on how we did it.

Group: Necro, Engi, Ranger, Warrior, Thief

The important things are pull skills. You can camp behind the rock where the Plunderer spawn, so you dont aggro most of the spawning veterans and can snag the plunderers and kill them. Pull them to you with Spectral Grasp(Necro), Scorpion Wire(Thief), Magnet(Engi Toolkit), Binding Blade(Guardian), temporal curtain (Mesmer) or other pull skills. Knockback / Knockdown skills are also useful so you can knock them to your corner behind the rock or interrupt the plunderers from delivering the loot. Once the plunderers with the golden lootbag are at their destination you have to constantly interrupt them cause they will continue the delivery.

Full Berserker is not recommended because they do alot of damage, something between tanky and berserker and supporter skills would be appropriate for this dungeon.

cpg.7140:

How is that screwing them over (assuming the price is the same)? The earlier you buy it, the better return you get on it as an investment, so how does that in any way hurt them?

I dont know if this is a joke or if you’re serious ….

A. It would be false advertisement to say its limited (to force people to buy it and crank up the sales ) but then offer it again later to make money of another sale.

B. Its not an “investment” its accountbound you cannot sell it. If you mean by “investment” that you save the gold to buy gathering tools you can rather call it “convenient”, because to be profitable you’d need to mine about 70k times in order to finally have the cost that you initially paid for the thing.

And i dont think it would be justified to let the thing reappear after 1 month, you hardly would’ve mined enough by then to have an “advantage” over other players.

C. It would hurt the people that decided to spend their budget on the unlimited gathering tool instead of another (limited content) item that they wanted.

I really really really dont understand how the problems arent obvious to you. But you are probably just trying to find excuses because you missed out (which is your fault) and want that bloody thing.

So they basically should screw over the guys that were forced to buy it at the time because it was advertised as limited content ?

I dont think this will happen and really really hope this will not happen.

Thrashbarg.9820:

Support roles get tons of loot, no idea what this nonsense is about. … There’s some myth about high dps getting more loot. It’s not true. … DPS means “damage per second”. Are you saying support roles cause NO damage? If you are ONLY using heal/boon skills you are playing wrong, and not fully supporting your team.

Either im expressing myself really bad or you are just ignorant. Of course support roles can do damage and tag enemies, NOBODY said something different. But in the time you are buffing and healing you CANNOT tag enemy players to get loot. Theres a system called CAST TIME its literally time you spend casting. For Example explain to me while using this combo with my elementalist to heal up the zerg, how do i get to tag the enemy?

Switch attunement earth => Cast Erruption (for blast finisher) => Switch attunement water => Cast healing rain => Cast Geyser = > Cast Arcane Wave => Dodgeroll Heal

This is just ONE of many examples. After that combo im free to cast my other spells and tag enemies and wait for my support skills cooldown, but in that time other players that focused on damaging/tagging the other raid have killed some players and got more loot.

Despite that AoE spells of the ele need cast time and time to activate and have a cap that can hit only 5 players at once. While the fight goes on the enemy Zerg probably scatters much more and the same Aoe doesnt tag as many different players as if you fought from the start.

And DONT focus on ONE class “the guardian blah blah….” there are several other classes. If you feel the need to disapprove something i would like to see an example that works for everybody

Rednik.3809:

1. Support Tagging:
Wat? If you ele/guardian, you have best tagging options in game. Ele have TONS of aoe on staff, guardians can spam staff 1 all day every day.

2. Seperate WvW Traits / Equipslots
Change traits and equip is ~1 min of time and 3.5 silver. Dunno how it can be a problem.

Your kind of missing the point here, read more carefully
Of course you have good tagging options, noone denied that. But you dont tag enemies if you buff up or heal the zerg, you cant cast a meteor spell if you are busy healing/buffing up the zerg. If you run within a zerg that is just focused on damage without any buffs or strategy your zerg will be dead within seconds (Im on a higher tier server, i dont know how it works on servers that are not so focused on wvw).

“1 min of time and 3.5 silver” yeah of course thats not much if you do it ONCE …. if you have 8 different characters that you want to play with through the day it is really really annoying. Put yourself into that position and try to be understanding. Not every player has 1 character with 1 set of gear and 1 playstyle (traits and skills).

And i was kinda hoping for more feedback i cant be the only player that has these kinds of problems ?!

I only recently started playing WvW in general, but i noticed few things that bother me greatly after short time of playing.

Support Tagging:

Why do i get punished for Healing up the Zerg with Waterfields and Blastfinishers or buffing them ?
I wont get any loot but the people that go for the aoe dmg have loot raining all over them.

=> People that heal/buff should get the same tag on the enemy as the player they have healed/buffed

WvW Char change:

Why do i get punished if i want to change to a different char in order to help out the Zerg for example: switch to a char with commander title / switching to a class to execute a certain strategy ( Mesmer Portal / Ele Heal …. etc ).
What i get in return is usually a 2 hour queue.

=> You should be able to change your character while staying in WvW or at least be put up at the top of the queue.

WvW Account Rank:

Why do i get punished if i want class diversity ? I currently have 8 lvl 80 full exotic characters that i could use but its ineffective to switch and try them out in WvW.
WvW abilities need a horrible amount of rank ups in order to get them and you have to acquire them for every single character you have.
Playing the same class in WvW for the rest of my life isnt fun, but its what i have to do if i want all the extra abilites and maximize the value of my character in WvW.

=> WvW rank should be account-wide with individual World-Ability-points for each character.

Seperate WvW Traits / Equipslots:

Why do i get punished for using my Pve character in WvW although i need other abilities and traits as my Pve char that i use for dungeons ?
Everytime i want to do WvW i need to change my traits and my gear for obvious reasons. I dont mind acquiring my gear in Pve and i sure wouldnt mind acquiring some kind of token through pve or the gem store that would allow me to have a seperate set of gear and traits if i enter WvW.

=> Implement seperate WvW traits/equipslots

I didnt go through the whole forum but it would be nice if someone knew that the devs said something about those topics to let me know

otherwise discuss / criticize

Onshidesigns.1069:

The words flown away implies that the ship is a repeatable event like halloween and may appear in other locations (like wintersday airship).

Id say it rather implies thakittens gone forever and wont come back…

especially because you get a thing to look at it

GSSBlunaspike.4153:

I was expecting something like the stones. That was actually fun, but not very hard. I think the best jp anet has ever done was os.

It would actually help if people knew what you are talking about …. what the heck are the “stones” and what is “os”

In my Opinion the new Jumping puzzle is badly designed due to the fact that 80% of the failed jumps result in death.
Dont get me wrong i like the new jumping puzzle its a little bit more challanging and the punishment for falling/failing is you have to start it all over again and its a pretty long way if you fall under the ship. But death isnt necessary, its only acceptable right now because its swarming with players that resurrect you if you fall. Imagine if you are alone and wanted to do it…

A way to improve it would be to add a buff to jumping puzzles that will reduce your health to 99,9% after falling too high and maybe adding some crippling effect, you would be still alive ( and you better not land next to aetherblade thugs :P ) and wouldnt need to start from a waypoint over again.

Another solution would be after the living story is done, add some Lionguard Scouts that have taken over the Aetherblade Base that will resurrect you if you fall to your death.

Its just this one point of criticism i have, otherwise i really enjoyed this new jumping puzzle.

celicynd.9420:

After about 6 times, I finally jumped from platform, didnt hit anything, and made it to the water, but my counter didn’t go up.

Did you put on the diving goggles ?

If you got ALL the achievements … how did you do “Questions for Mai” ? especially if you have 0 achievement points there ?

Yeah remove defiant from all bosses, so we can group 5 engis together and perma knockdown bosses

A great Idea /sign

You can avoid the shadowstep, by not seperating from the group

As far as i know she only shadosteps if you are too far away from her

I would like to know if the support at least lets you change your server for free if this problem occurs to you. Did someone try ?

I mean over 20 euro to change the server and paying that price again just because they cant fix the problem is just exploitation of the consumer ….

Still a game breaker for me. Fix it, i have 3 lvl 80 chars that i cant play because of it

nearly a month over and i still cant use my 3 lvl 80 main characters that have about 100% retaliation uptime (Guardian / Mesmer / Engi )

Not even one thing mentioned by developers that they will change it / we will be able to turn it off. THANKS

This seriously needs to change. I dont see the point how it is an achievement if it depends on luck and unawareness or lack of skill of several other players. You didnt achieve anything the other players did the work for you… and in addition to thakittens very very unlikely that will happen.

Would be nice if more people were complaining or a statement that this WILL be fixed

I wanted to report that there is no option to turn it off

I cant play my Guardian/Mesmer anymore, its a game breaker for me personally.

It maybe an “improvement” for YOU, but i get eye-cancer.

FIX IT

Is there any way to turn this disgusting thing off ?
I really really really dislike the new icon and my Guardian becomes unplayable for me, and i cant find a way to turn it off.

I never understand why such “improvements” are NOT optional and always enforced on everybody. Not everybody likes what the devs like…

I hope you`re not planning on doing this with every condition there is in the game or maybe an icon for how much damage protection has blocked or maybe an icon for how much heal came from regeneration.

If “improvements” are being made to the game, please let me a choice to keep my crappy UI how it was !
