Try the other two game modes, then?

Also, everyone had to ‘slog through’ the content to learn it. I’m not sure there’s any sure-fire way to bypass experience and ‘getting gud’. /shrug

Good luck.

You need only log into your account to permanently unlock an Episode while that Episode is live. You don’t need to complete any of the Episodes to unlock previous, or successive Episodes.

Petrified stump limit?

in Living World

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Well, considering the wiki is the “official” one of GW2, I think that Anet itself has some input to it, so I doubt it’s entirely player-maintained.

You know, I very well may go back to Ember Bay and count the Petrified Stumps I can gather from before they stop producing for me, and post that to the wiki, so don’t make assumptions.

The important point to me is that the question has been answered: yes, there is a limit, so I was not experiencing a bug. The exact amount of the limit is presently unknown to us, but that’s not a critical issue for me at this point.

Thanks to those who contributed.

Here is some information from the Wiki about contributions: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/ArenaNet

Good luck.

If you are unsatisfied with your Gem Store purchase, you could try getting a refund of Gems. Though, if it’s a Wardrobe unlock, it may not be possible.

Many items have that ‘floating’ effect, especially on Charr.

Good luck.

Black Lion Chest duplicate bug

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Not correct, or the CS Team would not find it qualified to send out replacement duplicate Black Lion Chest keys.

I’m not sure why you’d argue about it; the CS Team will send BLC Keys for duplicate Noran’s Pass bundles. That’s a fact.

Not for me. (German) support just told me, that, because Norans Pass was a seasonal item, they will not reimburse me any keys at all because the seasonal item is now the Zaishen War Paint Kit.

I don’t know what this should have to do with my ticket (#6410348 btw if any other supporter want to take a look at it). Can’t understand why they argue with someone and make him disappointed, whos paying money at them every month (yes, I do like to open black lion chests)

You might consider opening an English Support Team ticket. The CS Team definitely reimbursed me for duplicate Noran’s Pass bundles.

Glint’s Gaze is offered 3 times, though not all together in one place; one for each armor weight.

I found the Cultural Armor sets surprising to see in the Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock, as well as the AP Armors (I only saw Hellfire, but I’m guessing that is because I have some of the Radiant ones). There seem to be quite a few ‘Achievement-awarded’ new unlocks.

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Yes, it won’t be changed. That is the whole point of the new gathering tools: to give people, old and new players alike, a reason to buy them by making them different from other gathering tools.

I, for once, won’t spend money on them, I get enough unbound magic as it is. Also, at this point, we don’t know yet whether there will be unbound magic in the maps of the upcoming expansion as well. For if there won’t be, it would truly be a waste of money.

Also, keep in mind that this “extra feature” these tools sport only works on the current Season 2 maps, while the watchwork sprocket one works on every metal node.

I’m pretty sure one receives Unbound Magic from any node, not just those in (I believe you meant) Season 3 maps.

Maybe it’s the language barrier, but it seems OP doesn’t understand how the game works in all instances (not map instances).

Or, just fundamentally disagrees with how the game works, its rules, etc., in which case another game may be more suitable.

Good luck.

Unbalanced gem prices by billing country

No, I’m someone that works in the Electronic Dept. of a major retailer that sells Gem Cards.

We have loads of documentation about items, what gets charged tax, what doesn’t, etc., etc.

If you feel compelled to contact the Franchise Tax Board, feel free.

Good luck.

Unbalanced gem prices by billing country

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Actually, in my state, Gem Cards are considered Gift Cards, and are charged no tax, whether purchased online or offline (retail stores). Gift Cards are not charged tax, otherwise they would be collecting tax twice: once at the Gift Card purchase, and again when using the Gift Card to purchase items/services/etc.

Thus, no loophole. =)

Returning player - What to do?

in Players Helping Players

My advice would be to level another character naturally from 1 to 80. That way you will get all the tutorial tips, and familiarize yourself, somewhat, with the game again.

Welcome return, and good luck.

[Suggestion] A Long BLT Co. Revitalization

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

I think the price on BLTC weapons is probably way too low.

I don’t think the Recent Purchases is arbitrary or unnecessary. It’s a quick way to purchase oft-purchased items. Also, though not complete, an easy way to see what one has purchased previously.

Good luck.

How do you get to the tombs btw? I got mine via Teleport to Friend so I have no idea how to reach it lol

I just Glide and turn around to go under the level of the map over it. Seems pretty short and easy that way.

Good luck.

And, not much of a turret farm, at that.

A heat map showing all players in the most populated instance would be needed to determine the map was ‘dead’ because of a turret farm.

Petrified stump limit?

in Living World

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

It would “save time,” but it would also make the game less interesting. Part of the fun (for some people) is trying to figure out how the game works. On the whole, I prefer ANet to err on the side of making too little information available rather than too much.

It’s also a tool to confound gold farmers and bots, although (in my opinion) one of the less effective ones.

That said, ANet described how the caps work for Bloodstone Fen, so I’d prefer them to be consistent for the other LS3 maps, too.

It would be easy to explain on the wiki the daily account limit for Petrified Wood as has been done for Jade Shards. That would have saved me some frustration not knowing if I was experiencing a bug or if it was working as intended.

The Wiki is created and maintained solely by the playerbase. Thus, it is only as informative as those willing to contribute to it have information.

If you have found information that would help others, you are encouraged to edit the Wiki, or, at the very least, leave article feedback (tab at top of each page).

Good luck.

Not So Secret JP Diving Achievement

To be fair, that particular JP was added long after the map was released. It was part of the Living Story, which isn’t really aimed at ‘early/newer’ players.

I’m not sure if they’ve fixed the bug(s) with it yet; it may be listed in the Known Issue Tracker.

Plea to remove timer on combat tonics

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Are you sure you can enter combat in Halloween transformation tonics? They don’t seem to work for me.

Actually, there seem to be only 5 Tonics that allow combat, and a few potions that either color the character or add an effect.

Regardless, the timers are not consistent.

Remember, as well, that all the new maps (where many players congregate) can only be accessed with a HoT purchase.

Regardless, as noted above, I’ve never seen the expansion maps empty (on NA). One may be more likely to find them ‘full’ and unable to enter.

Good luck.

I’m pretty sure they didn’t shift to the less communication policy because of Heart of Thorns. Pretty sure there were plenty of complaints on the forum about that policy long before HoT launched, and received criticism.

Thus, not really a great example.

Newbie here with some questions.

in Players Helping Players

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Thanks you all so much! This really help alot even as I am looking at the download bar. Quick clarification. So, there will be a part of the story I won’t be able to do? The Season 1 in particular? Should I have even bought the season 2?

For Story only, the order is:

Personal Story (comes with Core game), Living World Season One (no longer available, as they were ‘live events’, but there’s a short recap in Lion’s Arch, or a YouTube compilation offered by a player), Living World Season Two (purchasable with cash or in-game Gold), Heart of Thorns Story (must own HoT), Living World Season Three (current season, previous Episodes available for purchase thru the Story Journal for 200 Gems each, necessarily to access the latest maps, Episodes 5 and upcoming Episode 6 free for those who log in while active), upcoming Expansion (must be purchased), and upcoming Living World Season Four (should be free for those who log in while active).

Pro-tip: Save your L80 Boost until you have leveled one or more characters naturally. Leveling naturally gives access to tutorial tips and level-up rewards.

Welcome to Tyria, and good luck.
