Should ANet change the Floppy Fish?

If the fish is to be removed, then:

- gathering wood should also be removed because it promotes deforestation.
-leather gathering should be removed because is cruel to animals to kill them for their skin.
-weaponsmithing and armor smithing should be removed because we all know that they are bad for the envirronment.
-cooking could stay but only for veggie food.
-a new class should be introduce to the game: Negociator with the role of dealing with foes so we can come up with a peacefull solution to every meta of every maps.

… or maybe we should keep the fish and go on with life. It just some freaking pixels after all.

Let’s make it do the same in this video then . As an FYI Mudskippers can breathe outside of water, some hop, some flop, all gasp for air like a fish out of water, even though they’re grouped as a fish they’re considered terresital not aquatic, just saying :\

See, the thing is the other name for the Krytan Floppy Fish is the Lungtuna. While most of us think of tunas and jacks as a strictly oceanic fish, the Lungtuna is a freshwater species that developed the ability to use its swim bladder as a gas exchange organ in addition to providing buoyancy in order to survive dry seasons and dam failures. Thanks to this spectacular adaptation the Lungtuna is the most widespread freshwater fish in Tyria as it also allows them to flop from water body to water body in much the same way walking catfish and snakeheads do, albeit in a more comedic fashion. You think the migrations of wildebeest and zebra in the Serengeti is impressive? Then you have yet to witness the wonder and majesty of a school of magnificent Lungtunas flopping their way across the Crystal Desert! I’m sure the BBC has footage of it with David Attenborough narrating.

You made my day. Thank you.

I deleted my .dat file and I’m currently downloading a fresh new copy.

If that dont work, i swear im gonna catch the skritt that took my shinnie.

For future reference:
-repair does the same job as re-downloading (and is faster, unless you have better bandwidth than most of us)

I hope you also created a support ticket. If you resolve things on your own you can cancel, but in the meantime, you can get in the queue for getting direct help.

No worries, i’ll edit my post with the solution and tell support it’s fixed.

How about with a different character? And, of course, a -repair (in case of corrupted file[s]).

Just tried, still nothing.

I did jump in the pot, also tried going around the tree outside the pot and inside too. I also dont get any interaction pop up ( Press F for whatever).

Spent about 25 silver mapping in and out of LA. Tried porting in and out from different waypoints. Tried walking in LA. Nothing seems to work.

After finally getting the last map part i double-clicked on on of them and received my Enchanted map. I then used the Map to find the location of the Enchanted key but nothing happened.

I went to check on Wiki and found out the location so i went there and no key.

Wiki mentioned a bug with this and i tried several times to map in and out of LA, but still no key.

If you could take the time to look into this I would be greatfull.

Thank you.

Pet Nameplates

Now it’s 4 years later and the ability to turn OFF pet names still isn’t in the game. Seriously guys…is it that hard or do you just not give a crap about making your customers happy. It’s embarrassing how much you’ve managed to ignore such a simple request.

If you are here, then you must be reading the rest of the forum. There are many many many many many other people with simple requests like flying mount and new hair styles.

I’m sure the devs will get around to fixing this someday.

Its not your weapons or your choice of utilities or your choice of traits that will make you survive in HoT and in any other part of the game, but rather your knowledge of the game.

If they fill up the lake again, the water table will rise, the well will fill up and Blaine will drown.

=P

If the well fills up, swims to the top, maybe he could finally get out? This would be good right?

If the lake fills up again it will take days to fill, leaving our Royal friend to try to float for a long period of time.

Someone should mail him the plans for a rat bladder flotation device.

@ JAFW:

From botting you have ingame advantages, because its just a program in the background of GW2, that knows no borders.. its 24/7 active and farms for you unendlessly long, until either you got detected and banned, or until you deactivate/close the program, so that the bot stops doing its actions for you, while you needed to be never at the PC doing anything at all. Thats Botting 101.

For Auto Gathering you need to be online to use and activate it, its no program that you can simply start from outside of the game to let it control all the movements and things your character does from then on, while you are never at the PC.
Like described has Auto Gathering unlike Botting its limits, that are free to decide by Anet.
Shoudl it be able to use every 24h, or every 72 or maybe every week only once, thats totally free to decide by Anet how they see fit.
Then theres the described requirement of having to learn first the Mastery, for that you need to play the game, get the Mastery Points and the Exp first, until you are able to unlock that feature, where meanwhile you could bot farm 24/7 already if you wanted, or do that manually as you should do better if you want to keep your account ^^

You can call it afk farming, but it surely is not botting. However, prsonalyl i have absolutely nothign against limited gameplay integrated “afk farming”, if that just allows you as casual player to use the tiem you have with meaningful game content, instead of havign to run in circles for thousands of time till you have all the materials you need to get something done, if that could be also be done as quality of life feature for you by your self made gathering golem every now and then at least, so that you don’t have to do it always by yourself.

Why would we/Anet want it you ask?
Simple, because it could be used as also a Gold Sink for the peopel that are for the moment too lazy to run self and gather stuff, some kind of Maintenance Cost of the Golem Gathering Service has to be there. Our little helper can get also attacked while being on tour for us – we need to repair it
We need to organize still the Gathering Tools for the Golem. They don’t come in for free.
So these Gathering Tools become again a better money sink, which Permanent Gathering Tools keeps on lowering, so more people use them over time and need not to buy normal Tools anymore.

If someone with a gazillion accounts is willign to manage all this extra hassle for more optimized material income from the Gathering Golems, then so be it, its thats players free choice to do so. Would still be alot lesser of a chore, than to grind with all characters of 30+ accounts all maps and to have to change after you are doen with one character permanently to the next one, until you are finally done with all of your accounts >.> Don’t you think that too?
It’s quicker managed to send out 30x a Gathering Golem, than to farm manually with like 30+ times lets say 10 characters a map. That would be then quickly if all accounts have average 10 characters 300 Farming Runs for just a single map.
Who is please so crazy to do that on one day??? Show me that person please, and I draw my non existing hat in respect of him/her!!

@ Lou:

No, if it’s bonded to Gold Sinks and limited to the times of usage and had long enough waiting times for the Golem’s Return. A player running self and doing the job, will always be more efficient in gathering, than using a Gatherign Golem.
The Golem is just a Comfort Service, which you can take, but you have not to do so if you don’t want to, which gives you simple for the moment you use it the quality of life, that you get after some time materials, without having to run on maps in circles, while being able to do in that time somethign else in the game that is actual Game Content.

Adding Auto Gathering will bring to GW2 the positive side effect, that you will most likely see more people then more oftenly helping at WvW, Fractals ect. at times, where they eventually would usuallly make otherwise their Material Farming Routes at that time first and take away that way in PvE other players the spots in the maps away, which are willing to participate in the events ect. instead of grinding around in the map for materials.

You could always hire someone to play the game for you. That person could also do laundry, dishes, wash cars, do homeworks and even more !!!

Dear Anet,

I’ve been playing GW2 for about 4 months now, and i come to the forum on a daily base and i decided to make a list of thing that are currently wanted by players:

- Auto-crafting of everything with auto-buy from TP.
- Auto-sell of every minor/major runes to a merchant or the TP (according to witch one is the most profitable.
- A rework of all armor skins.
- A rework of all the skills and combo fields.
- A total make over to dungeons.
- Press F to win but challenging content.
- Intergrated GPS for HoT content.
- A 1 year plan on things to come to GW2. We want to know EVERYTHING but please no spoilers.
- The ability to buy anything on TP for 1 bronze coin and resell it for 10 gold.
- Bring back the fountain in LA. ( please add floating rubber ducks too)
- PvP where no one dies and both teams win.
-Mounts like rainbow unicorns and motorcycles.
- Rubber matresses that bounce you back to where you fell from in jumping puzzle.
-Heroes so we dont have to use the LFG panel.

I could make the list longer, but there is only so much a small team can do in one day.

Looking foward to patching my game on Thursday,

K. Stroff

Is it time to nerf difficulty of metas?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Katastroff.1045

Katastroff.1045

Population is down or spread out. Still new players coming in. Metas were completely doable and achieved a healthy life cycle, but that was 2 years ago. Metas can still be done, but not as reliably as before even during NA prime time. Seen more and more metas fail that past few months and I’m showing up (when I do) the same time as I did a year or so ago. I think they had a good run, but if they are going to be reliably doable, I think they need the SW QoL adjustment.

I happened to drop by DS last night and this morning, both times there was an organized group. We even kill the ugly MF in less then 20 mins last night.

I go to Verdant Brink on a regular basis, just to waite my stack of crowbars and i see organized groups all the time, and it often scales up to T4.

Mayby you`re just unlucky or on a low populated server.

man… i cannot even begin to tell you how much i HATE the HoT maps! the many layers that it has, these so called “biodomes” and the extreme difficulty of the mobs compared to core Tyria maps is just brutally unforgiving.. and INSANE!

i really hope they do not keep this trend for upcoming expacs.. please bring back core Tyria difficulty..

Can’t disagree more, as I suspect many others will. As the game progresses and player skill increases the challenges need to keep up. Core Tyria difficulty is a joke.

The main issue is that new and returning players are jumping right into the HoT maps without being truly familiar with their characters and in some cases not being geared correctly. Metabattle and other build sites are focused on raids, fractals, PvP and WvW not PvE mapping and events. People to adjust their builds to what works for them for the content they are doing.

+1 To that.

I started to play about 4 months ago, did all of core, HoT and LW maps and the places i like the most are in the HoT maps. The core maps taught me the mechanics of the game, HoT and LW taught me how to deal with it.

I played Path of Exiles between GW and GW2 and if what you’re looking for is facerolling K-board mashing while watching TV action, the i suggest you try PoE. GW2 is a lot more about KNOWING how to play then OWNING everything you come across.
