Yeah, I can confirm this, too. Any karma I spend on any karma merchant is not counting towards the daily.

Maybe she approached the Arcane Council and said that if she won, she would fund research into how the reactor blew up in exchange for them making waypoints cheaper for a time?

Fort Aspenwood does it after reset pretty much everyday. Not many people do it after that, though until reset rolls back around.

Jennah has more than Fifty-years old? o.O lol …. She has no appeareance for this xD

(Jubilee, as some are saying, is a comemoration for a fifty-year in a position).

A Golden Jubilee is 50 years.

The Queen of England celebrated her Diamond Jubilee last year, which is 60 years.

A jubilee is just another word for a celebration of an anniversary.

The Charr on the right, is ROX… probably drawn by a different artist
http://i.imgur.com/TxnF8wo.jpg

I don’t understand how it’s not incredibly obvious to people that this is Rox. Has it been that long since Flame and Frost?

The unusual shaped horns, the gold rings at the base of the horns, the red braids, the skull on her left shoulder. I understand she looks like a centaur there, but she is also clearly Rox.

It’s not incredibly obvious to people because its facial features are nothing like a charr’s. Its facial features coupled with the horns on its head relate it to a centaur more than a charr.

You could be right – maybe that is Rox, but if it is, then the artist drawing her seems to have completely forgotten what charr look like.

southsun survival points -.-

JayMack.8295

Southsun Survival is gonna be on a permanent rotation with the other minigames.

You can still get the Karka Queen achievement from Secret of Southsun despite that being over, and the Moa Racing one from Dragon Bash, and you’ll still be able to get the Southsun Survival one once these 2 weeks are done, too.

Also telling people to ‘stop hating’ and then having ‘stupid little Americans’ above it probably isn’t the best way to garner support.

"Home" instance wrong

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

The Quartz should appear in every home instance regardless of whether you have an Asura, Charr, Norn, etc.

As soon as you activate it, it will appear in every home instance. Even if you only have a human character, you can still go to Rata Sum and go there to mine it.

At a guess, Kiel told some influential Asura that if she won, she would fund research into the Thaumanova Reactor in exchange for them reducing waypoint costs for a time.

What has me more interested, though, is that a Charr is interested in the fall of a Human God.

The New Cutscenes

in Dragon Bash

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

Yes, please MORE of these cutscenes, ANet. I think they’re my favourite way you guys tell storytelling. They’re much better than the two person face to face dialogue, and while I like usual cutscenes, this style is the best you’ve come up with as far as I care.

I was disappointed the release didn’t have more of them besides Story Dungeon and a couple of Personal Story ones!

Keep ’em up, please!

Your favourite thing about Dragon Bash?

in Dragon Bash

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

The detail in general that went into decorating Lion’s Arch. Each time I go there, I keep finding new little details that I love. The paintings on the ground, the steam covers, the new little things they’ve placed around LA like the statues.

The other thing I’m liking is having more to do for my third 100% explore character as they explore the map. It can be a bit tedious doing it for the third time, but getting coffers from drops and having things like that to hunt help up the variety a bit, and the possibility of getting a ticket just by mapping is nice.

Coffer drop rate change from Holos?

in Dragon Bash

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

I don’t have that experience.

Me and a Guildmate ran around Iron Marches for an hour doing the holograms all over the map. I occasionally got nothing from the enemies that spawned, and I occasionally got 1, or 2. I also occasionally got 4 coffers from them for the entire hour I was there.

It seems, at least in my experience, that it’s exactly the same as before.

Dragon Ball Report Function [merged]

The same thing they did in GW1.

If someone is afk, they get a debuff placed upon them that doesn’t allow them to participate in any form of PvP for a period of time.

If they get this debuff whilst in a PvP game, they get kicked from it.

Methinks it may relate to Living Story content in the future. Though it does suck for those that need world completion for their legendary.

Is Crab Toss staying or not?

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

They did, but it’s just become buried in threads, and the thread title doesn’t directly ask the question.

The answer is: No. It’s not staying.

The game draws inspiration from the crab guild challenge but plays a bit differently. There’s achievements, titles, and prizes for participants and winners.

Crab Toss will only be around for the duration of living story events at Southsun Cove. But don’t be too sad, as far as activities go, you might have a very exciting year ahead of you.

Character Select Crash.

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

This is a minor bug, but I can reproduce it 100%.

If you double click a character from character select screen, and then immediately double click another character, the game will begin to load the first character and their location and then load the second character, which causes the game to crash.

Please give more control over Guild Missions.

Hey ANet,

As a large guild, we have problems where members are starting Rushes, Challenges, Puzzles, etc. earlier than the guild would like them to. This can cause them to fail (especially with challenges), and can cause members to get frustrated as they don’t get to the start in time. We’ve done kicks in the past and made it clear to members not to activate it, but we still get the occasional troll messing it all up.

What we’d like to happen is that only members with Mission Control in their permissions are able to start Rushes, Challenges and Puzzles.

With bounties, it’s understandable as when you’ve got 3 minutes left for example, you want anyone to be able to activate it if there’s a small group there. However, even with the above suggestion, it’d be as easy as giving members ‘Mission Control’ temporarily so they can start it.

Ideally, we’d love to be able to set controls for each guild mission, but for now, just making sure that Rushes, Challenges and Puzzles can’t be started without ‘Mission Control’ would be great!

Thanks.

Map Completion bug (no title)

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

Odd.

Either way, grab the missing waypoint and see if that fixes it.

They recently added one in Snowden Drifts to the west of the map. Otherwise, you’re missing the extra ones added in Plains of Ashford (South West at Guild Puzzle), Brisban Wildlands (North West at Guild Puzzle), Straits of Devastation (North West) or Cursed Shore (South West corner).

Loot Bags very, very hard to see...

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

They didn’t give a heads up because they’ve always been there. They appear when an enemy’s body disappears and you haven’t looted it yet. The reason you’re seeing them more often in Southsun Cove is because the settlers that don’t die (but instead go neutral when their health drops) drop loot.

As for them being more visible: sure.

I’m not sure, Konig.

We haven’t seen a Queen yet.

EDIT: Sorry, I misread. I hadn’t thought about them being corrupted Karka. I agree, though.

They did this somewhat with F&F so I was surprised they didn’t here.

Hello!

With the recent addition of the flower backpiece, I’m facing a dilemma. I love Rox’s quiver and the flower on my Sylvari ranger but I can’t display both at the same time.

I know, first world Tyrian problems.

Is there anyway we can get a purely cosmetic slot (that gives no stats) in addition to the backpiece one? I understand this’ll bring clipping issues for some items, but I feel that’s up to the player.

More customisation options are always good!

There’s a reason I just don’t so this and I (luckily) am an example of it. Last month, I spent no money on keys, got a map completion key on my alt and got the weapon ticket.

This wasn’t to brag, but it’s the exact reason I don’t gamble with my actual money. There are people that’ll spend nothing and get one, but then there are those that’ll have the unfortunate luck to spend hundreds and get nothing. If you want to try your chances, give yourself a limit and then just stop trying. It’s not worth it.

I agree that spending money on guaranteed skins is the way forward, but that’s not what they’ve chosen so far. It can be annoying to have a skin you want now and never get it, but in a month’s time, you probably won’t care about that skin anymore and you’ll have saved yourself money.

To your last comment: no.

You need to be holding the crab whilst everyone else is knocked down (by rolling Karka). It’s not very well written.

I’m not sure, Sarie.

They could be using the Southsun punch pick up. It heals you and restores your endurance. If you pick it up before you have the crab, it stays on your bar.

Crabtacular Achievement

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: JayMack.8295

JayMack.8295

Yeah the achievement is pretty poorly written.

I’ve got it but I’m not gonna pretend it was skill. I just so happened to use skill 3 when there were 3 Karka in the map rolling toward the group after me and they all got hit and I evaded it.

Edit: it’s free for all. The idea of the second crab skill is this:

You throw it to someone who is after you (only safe when one is) they get knocked down, as they get up, you use skill 1 and steal it back and run. It’s a kinda risk vs reward thing. If you’ve got good timing, you can knock them down, steal it back and run.
