Guild Wars 2

Brother Grimm.5176:

I’m guessing they are having some issues with the GW1 account linking?

If you have the HoM gem in your inventory, you might want to head over there and pick up all the skins before they fix it…..(maybe not?)

From what I’ve read the HoM portal stone is not working. The client crashes when people try to use it.

If you have any tonics that transform you but can still jump, you can try that. If you don’t have an endless tonic, the Princess doll and the Toy Soldier tonics are about 3 copper.

Nothing special is going on. The only thing you are missing is not advancing the login rewards and whatever gold you normally made each day.

You might get an answer here but the WvW forum might be a better spot to post.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv

This is an old thread but it has advice from ANet.
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/arenanet-tracker/topic/238797-character-stuck-on-loading-screen/

If that doesn’t work you will probably need to contact support.

Or you can put off starting a guild and join another. Make some friends. Become a respected commander in WvW maybe or become someone who is known to help others. Then make a guild and invite the people you know.

There was this one other suggestion I saw

Hope this one helps.

nat sure i’ve ever seen someone who likes escort missions…

Didn’t dolyak escorting used to be a thing to do? I remember reading about the hordes of people escorting dolyaks a little past launch. Then ANet nerfed the rewards.

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/59799-wvwvw-ruined-dolyak-farmers/

I only like Traehearn in this game. Can we remove all the other NPCs and replace them with millions of Trahearnes?

Lol.

The FPS drop seems to be a problem with this patch and is probably a bug. If that’s why you are asking for a refund, you might want to wait as there are a lot of complaints about it and ANet is undoubtably looking into it.

Genesis.8572:

Argon.1563:

Disappointed about Ventari. Obviously ArenaNet’s way of carrying on SylvariWars2

They could have picked any other character, and they pick some meaningless fodder NPC who only appears twice, and is known for planting a tree. The two kids who used to play behind the LA bank are more worthy of being legends, due to actually doing something with their life (encouraging racial tolerance).

Jora, Pyre, Gwen, Kalla, all would have been more meaningful than Ventari.

Did he even plant the tree? Was it not Ronan who planted the tree atop the graves of his family?

Ifk, but I was especially fond of the little chat I had with him when the White Mantle were attacking the outpost and I asked him for help and he flat refused, saying,

“Vaylor sent you to me no doubt. I am sorry, but I cannot involve myself in the political affairs of humans. I hope you understand. While we have been chatting, it seems your other friends of White have surrounded my refuge. Nevertheless, peace is the path I walk. I must remain neutral.”

And I’m like, cool story bro. I’ll just go out there and fight to save your hairy (BLEEP) while you sit safe and snug inside.

I can see his skills now
“I’m not involved in this fight. I’ll just stand here”
“You guys go ahead and do the dirty work. My job is to sit under this tree and think pure thought and keep my hands clean”
“Can you kill somewhere else? I’m trying to smell the flowers here and that blood is stinky”

This thread is such a grind.

It’s optional—-you don’t have to read it—so therefore it is not a grind. LOL

Love it. Thank you.

You are more than welcome! fistbump

I read this post and it was so amusing I read it again. But it wasn’t quite as funny the second time. My reward for reading it was less. Then I read it a third time when proof reading my response. Man. What a grind.

Didn’t ANet promise no grinding in the forum? They lied to us! >.>

cleabh.5308:

ntx.2976:

Theres an option you can check to have your camera put behind the eyes of your character. Its under the first tab of the option menu.
Check ‘adjust camera to character height’ on.

That’s closer, but unfortunately it still doesn’t put it behind your character’s eyes. I made a thread about this: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/FPV-height-slightly-off/

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Might not be a bug.

Every character has a hitbox inside it and the size is the same for all characters. An Asura’s ‘hitbox will be taller than they are and a Norn’s, smaller. OP’s character is probably looking at the top of that female Norn’s ’hitbox, which on her is probably chest high.

Unless they put some sort of marker on the eyes for the other characters to orientate to, this might not be fixable.

Uh no, it’s just centered when you don’t have Adjust to Character Height on.

Look at OP’s picture again.

In the picture the Asura is looking directly at the Norn’s chest. Are you saying that adjust to character height will cause the Asura to look into the Norn’s eyes instead? How does the Asura “know” where the Norn’s eyes are? All it can see is the top of the hitbox which is at chest level.

Adjust to character height means the camera moves from the top of their hitbox to up above their hitbox. Not that it will start looking other characters eyes.

It’s not just you, OP, that has problems. I have problems, the other posters in this thread have problems. We can extend some sympathy but you aren’t the only one here who has some sort of disability.

The game can’t cater to all disabilities. Should we remove spiders? Sharks? Balloons? Open spaces? Enclosed spaces? All those things and many, many more cause people to have panic attacks. It’s not possible to remove all the things that bother someone. If the Asura bothered you that much then your deletion of the char was one solution. The deletion from the game itself is not.

Asura: from the wiki
“These alchemagical inventors may be short in stature, but they’re intellectual giants. Among the asura, it’s not the strong who survive, but the clever. Other races believe they should rule by virtue of their power and strength, but they’re deluding themselves. In due time, all will serve the asura.”

Culture
“The asura value intelligence and intellectual superiority over all other attributes. Individual asura will dedicate an entire lifespan to building a portfolio of successful projects or becoming the foremost expert of some tiny aspect of the arcane. They constantly seek to prove their own intellectual superiority, and by extension the superiority of the asura race. This typically results in asura being arrogant to the point of rudeness towards others, especially towards non-asura races. The asura have quickly established their intellectual and magical superiority over the other races and view them as useful primarily for heavy lifting, taking risks, and asking stupid questions.”

The Asura have an intelligence fetish. They are smart, everyone else is a bookah.

OP could always get 5 guildies/friends, go into a dungeon and have 3 log out and see if the remaining 2 can kick them. Who knows, maybe his problem isn’t a problem.

Sniff, sob. I miss the old dances. ;(

My female necro NEEEEEDS the old necro dance back.

On one hand you will need to buy the living story if it’s a requirement for the armor. On the other hand, if you have a level 80, 60 gold isn’t that hard to make. It also doesn’t have to be done on a schedule as the option will always be there. You can make that gold over time and buy the LS whenever you get it.

This is a good change imo.

The major reasons for bad behavior on the internet is anonymity and lack of consequences. Most of the people acting up in the internet wouldn’t dream of acting like that in rl where people know them or there are immediate consequences. If the anonymity is stripped away from kicking for bad reasons, the person kicked can now report if it was against TOS or speak to the party before the kick finishes. People who might second a kick for no reason will now hesitate to do so.

It gives social reasons to behave well, which is how people have handled society offenders through time immemorial.

KingSeven.9018:

I have tried that but it’s not installing . It’s just appears the login part and then I can play but once I leave the game thre’s no installation done .

Give this a try and see if it works.

Is the download speed slower than usual or is it just taking a long time to download at your regular speed?

If it’s regular speed but your regular speed isn’t very fast, it is a big patch.

Not quests, however there are ingame methods to get some items.
There is the PvP reward tracks that give you the Glorious armor set as well as the Balthazar backpiece and the dungeon weapons and armors. Dry Top and PvP have the Ambrite weapons also. There are a number of backpieces that each crafting profession can make. Also through crafting are the ascended armors and weapons. The WvW tournament seasons allow you to get the Mistforged and Hero weapons. Tequatl and the 3 headed wurms have weapons or armor as a (very) rare drop. There are a number of karma weapons and armor from heart venders and cultural weapons from vendors in the cities that are ingame. The mystic forge allows you to craft unique weapon skins.

Crafter’s backpieces: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Category:Crafter%27s_backpacks

In addition, each living story arc also has had some sort of item as the reward, usually a piece of gear.

There is a 7 day waiting period between transfers (and the game considers choosing a server at start the same as a transfer). The waiting period was put in place because of people switching servers frequently and causing problems with WvW (World versus World).

The game has Megaservers though. This means that the players in PvE and PvE are pooled together for the NA and EU servers. The only place where servers make a difference is in WvW. If you aren’t going to play there or don’t care what WvW server you are on then you can stay on Yaks Bend and play with your friends and guild mates with no problems at all.

Good luck, hope it works.

You guys ever thought that maybe OP is talking about a Holy Hamburger?

When they come back to the gem store, buy either a permanent Royal Terrace pass or Captain’s airship pass. Takes you to either Divinities Reach or the Airship in Gendarren fields. Within a few steps of each other are crafting/banks, regular merchant, laurel merchant, mystic forge and its NPC, guild NPCs, a portal to all the major cities, and a trading post. It’s also nice because you can open your inventory, click on the pass, and be taken right there from anywhere in PvE without looking at the map or paying a waypoint fee.

The Divinities Reach one is better imo because you can walk out the doorway into DR or waypoint to anywhere in the city. The airship is in Gendarrens and is not as convenient.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Royal_Terrace_Pass
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Captain%27s_Airship_Pass_

While your problem is theoretically possible, it’s not going to happen so often that it’s a major consideration. How often have you had 3 people DC while in a dungeon since you’ve started playing? They would have to do it almost simultaneously for it to be a problem.

I’m guessing the glider is drab because the gem store will have cosmetic skins.

Yah, I toggled off map chat during a guild conversation and guild chat disappeared also.

Might not be a bug.

Every character has a hitbox inside it and the size is the same for all characters. An Asura’s ‘hitbox will be taller than they are and a Norn’s, smaller. OP’s character is probably looking at the top of that female Norn’s ’hitbox, which on her is probably chest high.

Unless they put some sort of marker on the eyes for the other characters to orientate to, this might not be fixable.

Say, that’s a fine whine! Then ping a piece of cheese.

I assume by chests you mean you got ascended chests? You realize you can’t select the stats and the ones in there can easily be worse than an exotic with useful stats?

As to the armor chest, I don’t know which you mean but I’ll bet the drop rate is super low if it does exist.

Edit: is he talking about PvP chests with gear?

Can the designers of the human and Norn faces possibly get out and look at some more faces? They seem stuck on the same ones. I can barely tell the women faces apart and the men are too clean cut and pretty boy.

How about some rugged faces. Faces with character. Older faces.

Now that our chars are older, their faces can reflect the passage of years and the fights they’ve been in. They are no longer the young adults who left their cities and started off on an adventure. Give us older faces. Original faces. Not faces with different eyebrows or different colored lips that look like they haven’t aged a day.

The problem with the pretty faces you’re giving us is, they all look alike. ANet is singing a one note song instead of a melody with highs and lows.

Btw, humans can have tattoos also.

Devata.6589:

Just a flesh wound.3589:

(My opinion)

Most games have replayability through gear grind doing dungeons or raids. Since ANet doesn’t have that, they have aimed their replayability towards cosmetic grind, The quest line type is “do once then it’s over with.”. You don’t repeat the quest, there is no replayability.

Perhaps I’m wrong but to me the quest line type OP is asking for fits in more with the old linear type games. In those, the game gives you quests and leveling to do, then endgame gear grind content. The people do those and with the next expansion it repeats. It’s more “on rails”.

ANet wants a game where there is as little “one time and done” content as possible. I could see them putting in quests for a few specific items, but not as a major feature of the game because, truthfully, it’s a lot of work and once it’s done it’s abandoned. The token system has advantages that they can update the merchants inventory and have people flocking in to play in that map again.

So this is my opinion as to why they aren’t going to put in quest type content.

First of all I am not talking about endgame gear grind and I did also not suggest that anywhere.

For most people events are a one thing as well so not much changes there. In fact, the fact that people see events repeating also makes it feel less of you making a change.

Traditional quest mixed with events would be a nice thing as it allows for getting a better connection with the world (you learn more about NPC’s and there place in the world) it gives more a feeling of making a difference (you helped that npc) and more on topic it’s a good way to rewards items.

Sure it’s something you can only do once but isn’t that also why is makes it less of a grind (what we try to achieve in this topic).

“The token system has advantages that they can update the merchants inventory and have people flocking in to play in that map again. "
It’s easy for sure, but that does not make it fun. Besides quest would not have to be the hardest thing to put in a game. Obviously it is indeed more work them simply adding new items behind an already existing currency (grind).

If you read what I was talking about, it wasn’t about endgame gear grind but where games put grind and why.

I was trying to explain by comparison. I’ll try again.

Games have to have grind to keep people playing. The games with endgame gear grind put it there, with the quests you talk about as filler content. Guild Wars 2 has endgame cosmetic grind to keep people playing long term. Quests for cosmetic items as a one time and done don’t fit. It would be like having WoW put its endgame gear grind behind a one and done quest line system instead of doing repeated dungeons and raids.

That’s why ANet is putting in the token system with the merchants selling cosmetic items with map tokens. Lots of replayability. It’s ANet’s version of grinding dungeons for gear. And it’s why they won’t put items in a one and done quest line.

The token system has advantages that they can update the merchants inventory and have people flocking in to play in that map again.

So this is my opinion as to why they aren’t going to put in quest type content.

I doubt that they will ever do the ‘quest for items’ collection method. That requires a quest line for every new item they want to put into the game. They seem to be going towards the ‘tokens for playing in the map’ method instead.

There was a long thread about RNG, that has fallen off the front page now that they’ve (dis)improved the forum, called RNG as a concept: Discuss. In that thread, which was started by ANet economist John Smith, the posters in there strongly recommended the token system and ANet has taken those recommendations and put that system into the Silverwastes and Dry Top maps with items sold by merchants that can only be purchased with in map tokens (geodes and badges).

If this was a new game it would be easier to set up from the start OPs suggestion for all the things that could be collected, but at this late date, I suspect it will be tokens instead,

Mine reset also. Even though the sliders were in the same place I had to go back in and move the FOV slider to the left then right again to be able to scroll back.

Yah it’s bugged. Along with not getting guild chat unless you choose invisible then visible as your online status.

I usually get around 15k karma for Teq, but it does involve getting there early enough not to arrive on an unorganized map.

Most of the faces look so similar to each other. Different lip colors or eye brightness. It’s ok I guess, but I don’t see why they take so long to make 3 variations on the same face and get them out to sale.

I’m beginning to think there was a genetic bottleneck leading to everyone having the same face with variations on the theme.

This patch has a few bugs. That’s probably another.

Nooooooo. Revert it back!!!

I buy stuff on one char for another to use. I buy dungeon gear to salvage. I don’t want to be switching in between chars to view or buy. I don’t want to make new chars, level enough to get to the personal story step to buy items then delete and remake for every freaking armor weight and weapon use.

This is an unnecessary, restrictive move.

Edit: confirmed to be a bug. (Thank goodness).

I suppose it could be tied to the new changes coming to the experience bar, but I doubt it. It’s more likely to be a bug. Report it as a bug so they’ll know.

vpchelko.4261:

Right now ANET enlarges exp bar.
But It will be much better if ANET make possible to hide exp bar at level 80.

The new Mastery system need the bar to show progress.

crazy.9083:

Ok, so you can get the harvesting tools from general merchants in any big city and around a lot of the small towns outside.

When you get the ability to carry two sets of weapons (I believe this is at lvl 10, please correct me if I’m wrong), an arrow will appear to the left of your skills bar..selecting this will swap to your second set

It’s level 15 to swap weapons now. :/

But there is a workaround for the OP. If he can get to Lions Arch and go through the Heart of the Mists portal, he can equip both sets of weapons. When he selects “leave PvP” from the PvP panel and returns to Lions Arch he will still have both weapons. Whenever he gets new weapons he can go back to PvP through the crossed swords on his UI (the PvP icon) and equip them, until he unlocks weapon swap at level 15.

Teon.5168:

This sounds like the OP hasn’t been playing the game very long.

After reading the WoW forums where they might have hours of waiting in a queue during busy times, I can see his concern. We are lucky to have a game that doesn’t have log on queues or has hours of downtime maintenance every week.
