indeed. it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s one of the gifts. I would love to test things out, but I don’t have any of the gifts nor am I close to any of them at all to test it myself. It would be a nice goal for me though, to make those bows

Anyone interested in trying to find out what the recipe could be? Because I am.

I absolutely love the skin for them, and I know The Lover share the same skin as Feathers of Dwayna, but it seems making it is far more attainable than acquiring a precursor.
So, here’s what we know:

*We know it’s most likely a mythic forge recipe. There was a reddit thread about it and have evidence to support this, which essentially it’s based on chat codes (I believe it says the mythic forge items are in alphabetical order. I would link it but I’m at work and reddit is a dangerous place to go to at work)
*because of the above, we know it’ll use one Eldrich scroll each, and based on mythic forge patterns, they’ll need probably 250 oricalcum longbow/shortbow staves
*I believe the missing puzzle is the 4th ingredient, which no one seems to know what it can possible be at the moment.

Any thoughts? Any Idea? Perhaps any of the ANet guys can give us a small clue?

Looks like Gift of Weather is out. Back to square one. Any other possibilities? Aside that it some how can be a drop?

New Guild System Leaves out Small Guilds

Im going to play devils advocate here for a min.

Let’s say Arena Net removes the Art of War prereq and the first guild mission is open to all.
A small guild with less then 10 people probably could not finish it. There would then be backlash.

Lets say this sub 10 player guild did beat the first tier? Then they try to go for the next tier and they could not beat it because they do not have enough players. They would need 15 to beat it. Back lash again because they would be stuck at tier one until they recruited more and they would say its unfair. Nothing wrong with that complaint btw.

What I am getting at here is Arena Net is kitten if they do and kitten if they don’t.
Guild missions are for 10-25 players. The Art of War prereq is steep for most small/medium guilds but I also feel that this would motivate recruiting and keep the guilds active. The rewards are worth it. If you are in a 5 man guild or less this would leave you out for now. It sucks but it is what it is. There still is a lot of content to play, plus you can participate in guild missions. You will not the guild perks but at least you get descent personal rewards for it.

From what I have read you do not need to be in a 500 man mega guild, all you need is about 10-30 players and you can do most of this stuff. You cant unlock all tiers but at least you get the opportunity at the rewards once a week. Sure, the art of war is the big issue right now but you shouldn’t let that stop you from working together to get it done.

Maybe Anet will change the prereq, if so will that make this issue better for most?

I don’t think they need to take out the pre-req at all, I simply think it’s way too steep. The range is for 10-25 players, so ideally 10 players can do it; not super easily but they can—-what I’m saying is…that is far more attractive and seemingly more attainable than 30-50k minimum to get the guild missions unlocked. 30k just to unlock it, not to count getting to art of war level 5, that’s really really steep.

10 people is a very good size for a Tier 1 bounty mission.

I don’t doubt that, but can a 10 people guild who may or may not play daily have enough influence to have the upgrade to get to tier 1 and then still have plenty to unlock it? we’re talking 30+k of influence…so for my guild who is NOT WvW focused and have not really gone that route with the upgrade is getting a bit shafted.

I get that we don’t HAVE TO immediately unlock the guild missions, I understand it can be a semi-long term goal to work towards but…kinda kills it doesn’t it?

Edit: and not everyone of my guild members are 100% active. On top of that, some of oceanics so I never see them to even partner up with them for some extra influence.

severe lags/disconnects since maintainance

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Helenorz.2547

Helenorz.2547

Ever since the last server maintanance, I’ve noticed an increase of lags and disconnection whenever there’s a large group around.

I’ve never had lag issues, not even during the Karka events (other than culling but it could be worse), but with this last maintainance, I’m getting kicked left and right the first 10-20mins that I’m on in Orr doing my dailies.

It always occurs during an event where there are a lot of enemies/people around. I would hit a major lag, and the game client will promptly kick me. It would continuous do so for about 10-20 mins before it gets better/stop. I would hit major lags where for about 3secs everything would be delayed while fighting waves of mobs.

I’ve been hearing people complaining about this in map chat. Was there something that got changed during the maintainance that’s causing this?

wooden chest loot is not dropping correctly?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Helenorz.2547

so tonight, I decided I should pay attention and perhaps take screenshots of this…weird wooden chest thing.

So i had 2 that I noticed tonight. Both times gave me things that’s NOT green and above. one of the two I noticed it AFTER all the mobs have despawned since it’s not exactly noticeable.

the screenshot was taken right before I open the chest, and right after…and as you can see…a wonder white item.

Helenorz.2547

This might not help, but there are weapons and armour sets that are bought from heart karma vendors too, I got a nice one for my guardian but not sure about medium armours, still if you find a nice chest piece on a heart vendor, the rest of the armour will be on more heart vendors on the same area.

I only used those combination as an example, but it’s a big slit that you can see the size difference between wearing something overly bulky and what your character actually looks like. I know there are plenty of options out there, but trust me, they’re more or less about the same in bulky-ness.

Aw, I totally thought about that combination months ago until I realized the T2 didn’t fit well :c

But don’t blame vigil pants! They are in my opinion one of the few nice pants available.

This is how my ranger looks like. I sometimes use the Whisper’s coat/dress and the Krytan top (the skimpy look :P) and vigil boots.
But that’s pretty much all the armor options I like.

Krytan top? isn’t that the Svanir top from HotW set? or does that top share another skin with another non-dungeon set? Funny thing is i’m actually working on TA to get those same gloves LOL!

vets at megadestroy didn't go away

Hi.

this is during the megadestroyer event at Mount Maelstrom. The part that bugged a bit was where the megadestroyer submerges, and he summon veteran harpies. Normally, you just need to kill 3 and he’ll come back, however tonight, instead of that the harpies respawned, even though the quest update clearly states we’ve killed all 3. The timer didn’t stop/reset either. We made it just fine, but I really thought it might bug out and the harpies would keep on respawning.

cursor color AND right click turn

Posted by: Helenorz.2547

Helenorz.2547

please please please change the cursor color. I can’t count how many times I lose my cursor in the middle of battle because I can’t tell where it went as it blends in with everything.

Also, PLEASE change it where right clicking = targeting. There needs to be a toggle in the setting to disable right click targeting/selecting sometimes.

This has always been a minor, separate problem until just now.

I was at Fractal, I lost my cursor (again) so as I was looking for it, I was also right clicking to change the camera angle while killing the dredge champion. The following all happened pretty much within seconds: my cursor ended up on a teammate’s avatar; with my right clicking, i had pull up the little menu; I then think I see my cursor, move it away, left click to make the menu go away, to find that my cursor was actually closer to the menu than I thought, and miraculously on the “leave party” option. That not only put me back into Lion’s Arch, it also ended the party because I was the party leader.

I know this is also partially user error, but seriously…it’s all little things that lead into something else…and those are minor things that can be adjusted.

Coats are fine, really, I’m really okay with coats, I just want…to be able to…see more than just coats. seriously, something that’s not bulky, there are coats out there that are not bulky.

also, I notice Vigil medium pants (which really, is some sort of panty with these wrap around stuff and thigh high socks or something) makes my ranger appears to have thunder thighs, but when she’s in regular pants everything looked fine…which makes me wonder if it’s the mesh itself that’s making her appearing bigger than she really is.

and again, boots. i just want them to be sized down. One of the shoes I tried out makes my character looks like she’s like monsterious feet but teeny tiny ankles.

and that’s just it, most people go for the duelist set/pieces. I myself have my thief decked out in mostly duelist, but I also see a lot of people going for human T3.

Not saying there aren’t some good coats out there, but a little bit of variety and WAY less bulky would be extremely nice.

Strictly Aethestics here.

As a player with two medium armor characters, I feel that the medium armor choices are very limited. Most of the armors are a variation of trench coats, and none of them seem very form fitting. In fact, the lvl80 Karma vendor one makes you look really wide and bulky. It’s like…I also like the human cultural T2 chest, but for some reason, the moment i put it on, my character looked as though she grown in size, and her chest became abnormally huge.

I would like a change to that. If the coat trend is a “thing” to the medium armors, it would be nice if it’s slightly smaller on the females. The boots/shoes are also way too bulky, and makes you look as though you have super big feet.

Also, I would like to see more headgear variations. For instance with the light armor, there’s the acolyte jewel looking thing, and the feathered headpiece is awesome…it would be great we can have some more choices.

This is strictly an observation, and while I’m sure RNG is a big part of it, but it also doesn’t feel right.

I have 2 friends that I play with, and a lot of the times when I’m running Fractals, they’re off farming for lodestones/doing events. In other words, they’re always together.

Both guys are in MF gear when they do their runs. Guy1 is wearing exotic MF trinkets but rare MF gear and I think some MF runes/sigil, while Guy2 is in full on exotic MF gear with MF runes/sigil and trinkets. So in essence, Guy2 has more MF than Guy1.

The thing is, whenever they farm, Guy1 ALWAYS yield better farming result than Guy2. It’s crazy, for instance this past weekend, Guy1 got a lot of rares and a couple of exotics, while Guy2 barely got half of the rares Guy1 got. This always happens, it’s really rare. Guy2 tends to get more junk than Guy1 does, and it’s baffling. Shouldn’t Guy2 have a better chance at getting better loot because of MF when compared with Guy1? that’s what I don’t understand. Guy1 also seems to have a really good “luck” with stuff, for instance dyes…from when the game launched up to now, he has gotten 2 abyss/1 white/2 celestial/1 midnight fire, while Guy2 has 1 abyss.

Maybe it’s nothing, but it’s just that sheer obversation where I noticed RNG somehow for some reason…tends to be in favor of someone…it’s just…weird.

wooden chest loot is not dropping correctly?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Helenorz.2547

Helenorz.2547

They’re not bugged, it’s used for culling issues in PvE. Before you would have a ton of lootable corpses on the ground that caused framerate lag over a simple common drop.

Now when the game detects that there is too much corpses, it converts all of the bodies into chests. It does not matter if they are uncommon or greater.

then the patch note should not say that though? it’s misleading?

I’ve only noticed one or two of these, possibly because I’ve primarily played on my guardian since the update. The chests are likely spawning inside the enemies body, and getting looted by just tapping F on top of the pile of dead things. Of the ones I did notice, there have been no rare items, only blues.

Also worth pointing out the patch note’s reference to these being for loot that is “uncommon” or higher in quality doesn’t make any sense.. GW2 does not have “uncommon” as a loot rarity type, but I assume it’s referring to masterwork/green as this is how mini packs and inventory bags refer to greens.

good point….for some reason I automatically thought uncommon is pretty much green, but that’s not what the green ones are called…

It would be funny to findout the chest are working as intended and that the core of the problem turns out to be that some players ARE in fact in a state of permanent DR by no fault of their own. Then again I doubt the developers would ever admit to this should it be the case.

if only that’s the case. My first couple of drops of the said chest happened within the hour I logged on, in Orr, day of the patch launch, trying out the new dailies. So unforunately, (for me at least) it wasn’t DR.

I was told by my friend that this chest thing was first introduced in the beta. He didn’t like it whatsoever and it never made it past beta. I take it as the community didn’t care for it at all…which makes me wonder why it’s being implemented. Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me, but it need to work correctly or else it’s completely pointless.

wood chests dropped from mobs

Hi,

I made a thread in the general forum to see if anyone has the same issue as me: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/wooden-chest-loot-is-not-dropping-correctly/first#post1332591

basically, per the big January update, if the loot is uncommon and above, we will see it from the tiny wooden chest.

So far, at about 10ish chests, I’ve been 1 rare from the chest and the rest are commons and below, which should not be happening. I’ve gotten a common hood and a white pistol from the said chest, for example. I also double checked with a guildie/friend who is experiencing the same thing as me, while not receving uncommon from the chest at all.

Is the wooden chest bugged?

Yes the chests are bugged badly, i keep getting rares/exotic on corpses, and some times on chests, also i have got GRAY, blue and green items on chests, it seems pretty random.

I’ve gotten gray as well. and seriously, in the beginning I had to pay attention to the chests because it sorts of blends in with all the dead corpses (say you aoe a big mob or something, you know), and I’m get paranoid that I’m not looting the chests.

but at this moment I dont feel like the chests are anything to be excited about, if it’s so bugged that I dont get the right stuff from it. As matter of fact, I dont recall EVER getting an uncommon from it at all (nor did the aforementioned guildie/friend either.)

well, I’m pretty sure I’m not crazy….. I’ve seen the chests (that are for me, that I can loot, since I know you can see other people’s chests), and when I loot them I dont get uncommon and above, I’ve gotten common and below.

for instance, I’ve gotten a common hood from the chest and a white pistol, and I was really confused. I even confirmed it with a guildie/friend who said he has gotten common and below from the chest.

is the wooden chest drop working correctly as it should be?

per the big January update: “In PvE, if a player is awarded loot by killing a creature and the loot is of uncommon rarity or higher, a chest will appear that contains the loot that would previously have been on the corpse. If the rarity of the loot on the creature is lower than uncommon, the loot will remain on the creature’s corpse”.

As of now, I’ve seen about….10ish chests, and I have gotten one rare out of that as of last night, and the rest are pretty much common or white. As matter of fact, I don’t recall getting an uncommon from it at all. I don’t think that’s what meant to happen at all. What’s going on?

Hello to you all on this glorious Friday morning!

I was talking to a friend about random gw2 stuff the other day, and couple of things occurred to me, and I wonder if there are answers to them out there, as i’m not very familiar with GW lore and whatnot (amazingly, i dont remember much from GW1).

so basically:

-where…where do centaurs come from? I ask this because, well, in all the centaur camps, I see no centaur ladies. Other creatures, such as skritts and dredge, that can be very ambiguous, but centaurs? centaurs are half human half horse…so that would be easy to see, right?

-why does sylvaris have belly buttons? I can overlook the female sylvari with boobs part (personifying I guess? but biologically they dont need it?), but…bellybuttons?

yeah, they’re silly questions, but it’s just something interesting to think about, right?

from a personal standpoint, and not a play to win standpoint.. have a warhorn on your at all times until you get to 80. having that swiftness will speed up your playing process a lot, and you will thank whoever told you to do it. the daze is also a good ConeAoE daze that can get you out of face-to-face mob binds when you really need to get out.

as a general tip, conditionmancers (as in, full condition builds with NO power) are going to dissatisfy you when you siege in WvW (like zerging) or when you need to DPS on a boss or event mob. you will hit bleed caps, and your graytyped power damage will be less that satisfactory.

also given, condition based gear lacks vitality, and most condition gear lacks toughness except for the hard to obtain Rabid set which is dungeon only or Khilbron buyable.
you will be considerably squishy and your main lifeline will be to manipulate bleeds.

as soon as you run into someone who knows how to cleanse conditions, sometimes even convert them into boons…

you’ll be ineffective.

I love conditionmancers, and from a practiced view, they can kill quickly if you can manage to get your opponent to focus on you and not on bubbling up. this is rare though, and you will find that it can sometimes get boring or frustrating because you won’t have an alternate workaround to being a stacked condition build.

my two cents.

imho, work in some balanced power w/ your conditions and look at Zintair’s cirtmancer build.

is Carrion not a good gear choice? it’s p/v/cd?

do you have a link to the critmancer build?

Had no problem with this. Of course my group goes out of its way to do every dungeon the way the devs ment them to be done. Since we do that, we were prepared to do this event the right way, you know, the exact same way we have been doing it since launch.

Thank you for the fixes Anet.

So I guess these are all intended:

- add not spawning.
- add spawn infinitely.
- add doesn’t reset after wipe.
- Boss can start aggro and attacking you as soon as you respawn at the check point.
- Boss’s phase doesn’t reset and stuck in the AOE phase.

Get off your high horse.

Only 1 of those happens happens if you do the boss correctly. Whatever tho. So many people here want to whine rather than beat the boss right. Every time they make a boss with some interesting phases like this one and Lupicus, the people who cant,wont, or too lazy enough to beat it come here and whine.

The seal needs to have its protective seal at the start of the fight. Once thats done, the rest of the fight is not broken.

what is doing it “correctly” exactly? what are we doing that’s not “correct” that’s causing infinite spawns, seal resets, etc etc? If “doing it correctly” is the workaround ANet has come up with, which is the whole don’t kill the first set of adds thing, that’s not really “doing it correctly”, as inifinite spawns and ALL that was not intended. I’ve had it where the moment you got it, there’s not protective shield. at that point, it’s not that none of us were not doing it right or wrong, it’s simply it’s bugged/messed up/whatever.

at least you can find a group. I’m having issues finding a group to do Fractals lvl 28. Yeah, that’s using gw2lfg site, and still can’t find one.

You’ll have more luck when they expand fractals more. The major RvR balance points hit at levels 10 and 20 right now, fractals are barely “supported” by Anet beyond the 3rd tier (20-29).

Most people I know have little desire to continue fractals up into the 30s because they’re balanced around gear and rewards that don’t yet exist.

my goal was to hit 30 and farm there; i would like to own some fractal weapons myself, but at this rate? not anytime soon

I haven’t played fractals in a while now. groups are way too hard to find. I’ve gotten two rings in 20+ fractals. since they were both the same ones, and I didn’t realize you can’t quite rings with the same name, i put the agony resist on them both before equipping. Needless to say, ring wasted.

I’ve been lucky with the rings. I have had fun in fractals. Right now, it’s just that I can’t find groups to run with, and cliffside infinite mob spawn being an issue.

I also wish fractal level is account bound too though. I finally have a 2nd level 80 character and I honestly dont feel like redoing all the levels…

Account Restorations - Update

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Helenorz.2547

Helenorz.2547

does this account restoration ONLY applies to account lost due to hacking and whatnot?

a few of my guildmates recently got banned for “botting”. The issue was when the game came out, one of the guys bought a few copies for himself and a few friends so that they can start together at the same time. Apparently your purchase is linked to the cc info used to purchase the game? because that was the reason customer support gave to the guy who bought the copies as to why the accounts are banned after he submitted a ticket. CS also stated that the process was done in a automated process, they do realize it was a mess up but they cannot reverse it.

Now, while I understand why it comes of as botting, but I also thing the sheer fact that the ban is irreversable completely blows my mind. That essentially tells me if I’m wrongfully banned, there can be a possibility that I can never retrieve my account back. I was told that Anet refunded the money back, and while it’s the matter of repurchasing the game, it’s more about all the time spent and efforts they already put in with the original account, and all the achievements they had.

Will account restoration be able to reverse that if they submit another ticket and mention this process?

Hi guys!

I recently started a necromancer and she’s at lvl25 now, I’m starting to think about builds and gear for when she turns 80 (it’s a little ways ahead, but I like to be prepared). I’ve been looking at the thread here and other places to try to get a general consensus on what will be good, and I think I’m getting a bit overwhelmed as I’m not as familiar with skill/traits yet.

I came across this build, and I would like to know if this is outdated and if this is a good conditiomancer build: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fQAQNArYWjMaN7pbub8bKCJFP7aQFef0DiZskRVYdA Also, I see a lot of S/D build, but I also noticed that if you go with warhorn there’s this awesome 33% speedboost thing, is that a good thing for conditionmancer? I like speedboost as I’m spoiled with my thief’s speedboost, but I dont want to sacrifice the output damage I can do for just a bit faster run though…

For gear, should I go straight Carrion or should I mix and match with something else? with runes, would it be better to go with something that adds condition damage and either vitality/toughness, or should I go with Afflicted?

Thank you guys for any help that you can provide!

at least you can find a group. I’m having issues finding a group to do Fractals lvl 28. Yeah, that’s using gw2lfg site, and still can’t find one.

Cliffside is so broken now it’s not even funny. Right now, if anyone gets it, you either spend a long time just trying to get through it, or you don’t play it at all. That infinite mob spawn is really bad, and they follow you all the way to the beginning the of the hallway where the firecracker ramps are. I don’t plan on running Fractals until that’s taken care of. It’s just too risky to have that as the last Fractals. The issue is not whether you leave the first group of chanter mobs alive or not as a work around, but simply the crazy endless spawning mobs that won’t go away once you hit the seal

5 days ago since the last reply. Would be nice to have a daily update on what the status is on fixing these and other bugs.

Anyway here are some more bugs:
- Ascalon fractal Can’t pick up bundles
- Ascalon fractal- Climb the wall to skip the first 2 groups
- Kitty fractal – You can lure the asura between pillars negating his attacks.
- Dredge fractal – The boss with all the adds (before the last boss) his “shockwave” attack hits always, even if you have utillities like Arcane Shield/Mist Form activated.
- Dredge fractal – Bomb part, too many mobs will spawn which results into:
run to the door -> plant a bomb -> run back/die -> lose aggro -> wait till bomb respawns -> repeat.
- Collussus -> Arm part; if you stand on one side that side will not regen. So on higher lvl fractals you leave 1 add on a side and kill the other side.
- Collussus First boss fight; use 1200 range for an easy win. Boss won’t aggro

Kitty fractal – You can lure the asura between pillars negating his attacks.

wait, how is that bugs or exploits? isn’t that more like you’re using the pillars as a shield, more like a tactic?

Woah, that got crazy for a second there with the formuals (to me, I mean).

Right now, I’m running a build that’s based on a thread here and it’s worked out really nicely for me, 20/10/30/0/10 and pretty much with nothing but signets with D/D. I like it a like and I plan on sticking with it. My only thing is that since I’m close ranged, I want to survive.

my problem with mix and match is that I’m not sure exactly what I want to mix and match with. I have an exotic Soldier’s amulet I plan on using though, and two rings I got from Fractals (one’s main stat is toughness, and the other is condition damage). With that said, that gives me some room to play with other stats that’s not focused on vitality, no?

I also cannot decide if I want to put runes of Dwayna on, or if I should go with Dolyak. I think Dwayna because I need the healing power.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

so, should I just got with Carrion with some Rabid/Solider?

but is vitality and toughness interchangable though? or it’s better to have toughness? I’m wondering because light armor is obviously weakest, and I don’t if it’s better to beef that armor up, or it’s safer to beef myself up.

Hi guys,

So I just got my ele to 60, so I’m starting to thinking about builds/gears. I read some of the threads here that it’s better to go with D/D than staff, which I intend to try out, but I’m a bit confused about gear.

I see that ele has poor healing, and to boost it I need to have healing as part of my gear, but do I go completely all out on that? I read in another thread that it won’t be as effective if I do that (like if I do straight apothecary) , so should I just focus on vitality/toughness with CD? but which is more important, vitality or toughness? My thing is, I see ele in dungeons (on my thief) and they tend to be beefy enough to take hits, and I want to be like that, but still have “stuff” on my gear that can help me output awesome damage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It’s Isle of Janthir. Right before I got there, people in the map chat were talking about how it’s bugged in the ceiling (like other threads were saying), but when I got there, It’s actually on land, hence why I made a thread.

This is Sparkfly Fen. At this point, the event will show up when you go down into the cave where the sharks are, but you can fight them, as two of the minions are “swimming” above ground.
