Guild Wars 2

Just a side note: WoodenPotatoes is not from Austria, and Austria is not, of course, in the UK.

For PvP information, you might consider perusing, or posting in, the PvP sub-forum. For large-scale PvP, check out the WvW sub-forum.

Welcome to Tyria, and good luck.

Did you already craft Vengeance, and before that Exemplar? (Referring to the screenshot, and trying to purchase Save the Queen.)

Not sure why you can’t craft Exemplar’s Edge; are you sure you are on the character that has Weaponcrafting? Tried a different crafting station?

If you continue to have issue, you can contact the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below.

Good luck.

I use Adblock Plus with 8 filters, and no issue.

I see it is filtering/blocking YouTube (though that works fine on the page) and some Google stuff. I’ve never messed around with it, so I guess it’s on the default settings.

I would guess OP and others might consider white-listing the page, or disabling the blocking program, if any.

I’d advise staying in Core Tyria until you have mastered your Profession.

Heart of Thorns is, for the most part, designed for more experienced players.

Good luck.

You might check your browser settings, as I use Firefox and the Community → News page works fine for me.

What I can’t use is the ‘Support’ link on the forums.

Good luck.

Buy some shrines; they’re cheap.

You could try contacting the CS Team and discuss the issue with them.

Good luck.

Do remember…there would have to be enough players to sustain 6 separate Servers (for WvW).

Unless, of course, the players would either want to forego WvW, or with even only 3 Servers, play the same match-up forever.

Difficulty has been adjusted and streamlined for the objective to defend your ally during the final boss fight of “The Last Chance” instance.

Not sure when you last played, but there have been several hot-fixes for the Episode.

Good luck.

No, to both questions. No one can move to a Full Server. You might consider moving to a lower-population server if you want to play WvW together.

Good luck.

Hmm, that’s odd. I don’t have issue with the forums at patch time. I almost always read the patch notes while the client is updating.

You might consider speaking to your ISP, in case they are throttling your service.

Good luck.

Perhaps, discuss the issue with the CS Team.

Good luck.

Oh. Hard to tell from the post.

Good news, then, now it’s fixed. =)

Fixed per patch notes…for those having issue, hopefully. =)

If you are referring to the ‘New build available in 10 minutes.’, you don’t have to leave the instance for 2 hours after the build goes live.

ArenaNet wouldn’t know, anyway. It’s up to the Regional Sales purchasing department of Target to decide what stores will carry. This will vary by region.

You can ask the Sales Associate to call other stores rather than driving around; though, as stated above, it’s usually a regional decision. You can ask to speak to the Team Lead on Call, and ask them to stock the item, as well.

You can order them online from Best Buy. It’s pretty good, as the shipping is free, and they usually arrive the next day.

(Target employee.)

You can use Paypal, or purchase the one-time-use credit/debit cards to purchase from Authorized Retailers.

Good luck.

Yeah, reported it long ago. You might try reporting it; maybe it will be removed.

They are excellent with ‘user error’, kitten many threads in Account Support attest to.

Sorry to hear the other expedition wasn’t saved. First time anyone has ever posted about buying two expeditions at once.

Good luck.

Fixed, according to the latest patch notes.

Thank goodness the Devs fixed it.

And a bunch of other ‘buggy’ things in this Episode.

Yay…and thank you, Devs.

Well, it was added to the Hero UI, under Achievements – Collections.

It probably could have been added to the patch notes. Maybe it will show up as a ‘late note’, as other things do, sometimes.

You could try a different character.

You can try a -repair of the client, in case of corrupted file(s). Instructions found in the Knowledge Base accessed via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Search – Repair’.

You can contact the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Submit a Ticket’ for assistance.

Good luck.

Asked someone to add one to the Wiki.

Here’s hoping.

You could try contacting the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below.

If a refund is not possible, do be aware, should you ever wish to change Guild Halls to the other, the expedition will be paid for, in advance.

Good luck.

Do you have the Mistward Plate Collection unlocked? That may be a prerequisite.

This post may answer your questions: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lwd/Me-no-understand-LW-story/first#post6657651

: snipped for length

The key to understanding LS3 is probably knowing the White Mantle and Mursaat(Lazarus’ race) backstory. The end of HoT and a couple other things don’t seem as important in the current storylines, but I’ll try to knock out a couple of them.

Tie-ins from HoT

The Chak
Bugs native to the underground areas of the jungle that feed on magic/ley line energy. Their current relevance is Taimi’s use of a chak organ in her research and tracking of dragons via their magic energies. The organ is a part of their digestive system that filters different types of magic unique to each dragon.

Aurene
She is the baby dragon that hatched from the egg Caithe acquired in season 2, and ended up in the chamber under Tarir during HoT. The child of the dragon Glint, a former lieutenant of elder dragon Kralkatorrik that turned on her master to help the other races of Tyria long ago. Glint was killed prior to GW2’s storyline, and Aurene is her legacy left in the care of the Exalted for some yet to be seen purpose.

The rival elder dragons
The dragons are established rivals already in lore, which is highlighted in the current story because we are dealing with the fire and ice dragons. The polar opposites, which we were originally wanting to pit against one another. However, Taimi’s research showed that continuing to kill elder dragons and release their energy (which surviving dragons would then consume) would lead to Tyria’s destruction.

LS3 and the Mantle/Mursaat backstory

GW History: The Mursaat, The Mantle, and the Eye
The Mursaat are an ancient race that were rediscovered before the story of GW1 by Saul D’Alessio, an exiled Krytan. Saul founded the White Mantle, who worshipped the Mursaat as gods. The group rose to power when they stopped the charr from destroying Kryta.

During the events of GW1, the true agenda of the Mursaat is discovered by the Shining Blade. They are only using the Mantle and Kryta to hunt down magically adept humans and sacrifice them on a Bloodstone to harness their energy. The Eye of Janthir is the device/being used by the Mursaat/Mantle to identify humans powerful enough for this sacrifice. The energy gained from the sacrifices was used to power a magic barrier, the Door of Komalie, inside a volcano in the Ring of Fire. This barrier prevented another race, the Titans, from entering Tyria from their realm and wiping out the Mursaat. Their demise had been told in Glint’s prophecies, and the Mursaat were killing their followers to prevent it.

The Titans ended up being released anyway, which lead to most Mursaat being killed. The players and Shining Blade then lead a civil war in Kryta that overthrew the Mantle, and wiped out the remaining Mursaat leaders. All but Lazarus, who had split himself into “aspects” and hidden them around Tyria to be rejoined sometime in the future.

Balthazar and the Aspects of Lazarus
The White Mantle cult survived throughout the time between GW1 and GW2, hiding till they could restore their god Lazarus. At the start of LS3, they had all of the aspects and were attempting this, but their leader Caudecus wanted power for himself and had stolen one of the aspects and replaced it with a fake. The human god Balthazar, who had either returned or had been hiding on Tyria for centuries (I don’t think this is ever explained), saw this as a chance to gain allies and power himself.

Balthazar disguised himself as Lazarus and allowed the White Mantle (those not loyal to Caudecus) to believe he was their Mursaat god. After absorbing the energy of the bloodstone explosion the Mantle had caused in their attempts to bring back a Mursaat, he turned his attention to the dragons to get more power. This is what he was doing when we discovered his true identity, and stopped him from killing Primordus and Jormag at the end of ep5.

The Eye of Janthir
The Eye appears pretty much out of nowhere at the beginning of ep6, but it had already been revealed in the Bastion of the Penitent raid. It had been keeping Saul D’Alessio, founder of the Mantle, alive as a prisoner for the past couple hundred years. He was thought to have been killed by the Mursaat at the end of the Charr/Kryta war, after seeing them for what they really are and denouncing them. Instead of killing him to keep him silent, they imprisoned him in the Bastion of the Penitent.

After Saul finally does die, the Eye no longer has a purpose. With no other task, it seeks out its lost masters, following the aspects of Lazarus it can sense. This leads it to chasing Balthazar to Orr, after we find the Eye with Justiciar Araya and take the aspect they had.

Ep6: Where we are now

This episode does seem to leave a few things unclear, but it’s basically a vengeance story for Livia. She was a member of the Shining Blade way back during GW1’s story, and had helped defeat the Mursaat. Livia survived all this time because she had rediscovered the Scepter of Orr, a powerful artifact used in GW1 and lost at the end of its story.

After recovering the aspect of Lazarus from Justiciar Araya and the Eye, we join the Shining Blade, and are let in on Livia’s true identity and her plan to kill Lazarus, the last Mursaat. The Eye leads us to Balthazar and the final aspect, which allows the real Lazarus to be resurrected and killed for good.

The now masterless Eye of Janthir is used one last time to show us where Balthazar has went. It reveals he has gone to the Crystal Desert, which is where Kralkatorrik currently is. The Eye then vanishes, and we’re left to go off to the desert to deal with Balthazar.

This is very good. Have you, if not already, considered editing the Wiki? I’m sure your input would be much appreciated. =)

Good luck.

Actually, it was likely one. My haste in the irritation saying it was two.

Still….. a duplicate rare item should re roll on the rare item table. Not just go “Meh, you’ve already been lucky before”, and getting a key back.

It’s like playing roulette and getting your number again after winning, and the dealer saying….uh sorry, you’re already won. I’m just going to give you your bet back.

This is wrong and it’s not cool.

Wait, how did you get a key back? Support ticket or did they add something to the system to handle duplicates? As a fellow gambler have dealt with a lot of doubles and counted that as cost of gambling but hadn’t heard of this key return bit.

Do be aware: Only account-unlock duplicate items qualify for the 2 replacement BL Keys.

If you received duplicate account-unlock items, and did not receive the replacement Keys, you can contact the CS Team, providing you have the information about the items.

Good luck.

Seems ok.

Yay, thanks for fixing it.

Or almost fixing it. Better, but still slow posting this message.

Edit: Spoke too soon, jinxed it, obviously, the edit took about 2 minutes to load. Sigh. Sorry guys.

Hope I don’t jinx it, or this is just an anomaly, but..

Thanks for fixing the forums; they seem to be working again. =)

Edit: Reading is much faster, but posting is still a little slow; will find out about editing when this goes through (or not – fingers crossed).

One thing to make sure of is that your in-game Sound Options match your computer’s sound options, as well as your physical sound equipment.

Example: If you use 2.1, make sure all options are set to 2.1, or if you use 5.1, all options are set to 5.1, etc., etc.

Well, they released two with this latest patch. If they skip releasing one with the expansion, and release the next one with the first Episode of Living World Season 4, it would not be any different than releasing one with each Release.

Thus, one might expect the next one to be released in about 4 to 7 months, at most.

It’s happening in the EN forum, as well. Especially while editing. Editing can take up to 2 or 3 minutes to load.

Sometimes, it even times-out and gives a 502 error.

Would someone be so kind as to have a look at what’s wrong with the forums lately?

Thanks so much in advance.

One can always wait to purchase the next expansion until after all the second-generation Legendaries are released.

That’ll teach those Devs!

Of course, the rest of us will be enjoying the new content, rather than a content drought.

Good luck.

Nice. I don’t have 10,000 Gold, though.

Happy buying to those that do.

Indeed. I think Mike Z. will be a great Game Director.

Congratulations, and thank you! =)

You can check the Authorized Retailers list, after the expansion is offered for sale.

(I would imagine they would remain on the list.)

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/retailers

Good luck.

Look like all new maps, Masteries, Specializations, etc. to me.

I’d ask, as well…what’s recycled?

No, the Draconis Mons back item takes/took 16 days to complete.

Editing takes forever so I’m just going to make a new post.

As rare as Black Lion Chest Keys are as drops, I’d say getting two Keys to replace a duplicate would certainly qualify as an item belonging on the Rare or Super Rare loot rolls.

I’m always thrilled to get the 2 Keys.

If you only received one key, which is doubtful, you can contact the CS Team for the additional key.

If you find the mechanics associated with opening Black Lion Chests offensive, then it might be suggested you cease opening them until mechanics are more in line with your desires. They have changed to be much more user-friendly.

Good luck.

Where is the return rate of keys on duplicate items stated? Or stated at all? Even more so, why is it doubtful? I’ve searched around, and it seems one key is what people are getting.

Care to give me your source on this? I would like to see it.

Here you go:

There is an in-game message stating, ‘Duplicate, account-bound unlock detected. Item has been replaced with free keys.’, as well.

Bah. I tried it for about half an hour/forty-five minutes (she never broke the Lazarus/anomaly’s shield, and died over and over, no matter how many sparks I killed), then stood in a safe place to look it up, could not find anything, went back, and found my character in the character select screen. Sigh. Now I have to do everything over.

You can always check Dulfy each release, and peruse all the Achievements, and what they offer.

Good luck.

You got exactly, two keys, what you are supposed to get when receiving a duplicate account unlock.

Many try and try for the flavor-of-the-season item with no luck, at all. You got it twice.

Consider yourself lucky.

Ahh…maybe when you do, you can remind the Knowledge Base people to update the page. =)

You can peruse the Knowledge Base for trouble-shooting tips.

You can contact the Tech CS Team for assistance.
