Guild Wars 2

I think my character is the number one cause of diabetes in the young future of Tyria. All I want is the Superior Rune recipe lol. I have given them so much candy.

I dunno, I think the demand will be pretty low after the event. I mean the chance of people wanting to finish weapons and such will exist, but aside from the skins all the recipes are pretty much equal or worthless outside of the holiday. The armor runes are pretty good, but they don’t require much corn.

That said, candy corn is so easy to get right now that I would think that anyone that wants corn for later will stock up now. And if people happen to want corn later, the stingy ones would probably wait till next year.

It was cute at first. But its SUPER loud, everytime I go to the TP I hear that obnoxiously loud cub. Now I have a hate for charr cubs because of that thing.

I wish they’d fix the weird sound issues with stuff just being ridiculously loud all of a sudden. :/

They should probably just find some way to disable this in pvp. Its impossible for anyone to hide if a person knows to look for it.

I never thought about people being able to decipher real from clones on Mesmer. That sucks a lot.

Wow, thats strange. For me he was a Norn and standing over in the middle halfway up the ramp.

I have to say I agree with the lack of the NPC from GW1 for costumes. If they were going to get rid of that idea (which I understand why they may not want it for cosmetic reasoning maybe). They should of applied something else in its place. Ie. Have a list of bought items from the BLTC that you can generate on each new character. I mean its not hurting anything, and they are bound to account so its not like having multiples of cosmetic items are bad. Either that, or give us a bank tab for cosmetic items, or a bank tab for BLTC items (a good 60% of my storage is crap from chests that I will probably never use but might as well keep).

I do fear that they have resorted to having to nickle and dime you for every tiny thing (bank space much? even in GW1 with expansions you got plenty of storage for free, without trading gold for gems you are giving such a minimal amount and so many things to store its outrageous). In GW1 you didn’t have all these cluster of cash shop items taking up every little bit of space with boosters and tonics and things.

Ending rant…I think its something they can work on though.

I posted about this issue a lot earlier (3rd page) experiencing it on other armors (Winged, Conjurers and Exalted). But I was devastated to see it on tier 3 Sylvari Cultural set aswell (Dryad). Figured I was better off making another post then adding to the other one since it was so far back.

After swimming, boot textures seem to be messed up. The textures turn into a white/red block and is like that till you relog/change maps. It doesn’t show up in the Hero panel, I also do not think it shows up to other people. It’s usually in the “trim” areas around the edges, like on the Winged it is where the vine detail is. On the Exalted it is in the fur trim area.

My huntin’ and bags achievements updated to needing 150 (think they were both previously done at 100). So I had to finish off the remaining. But they work now. The carver doesn’t increase the Emissary though.

While you can get in and get the items (which look awesome btw). There is no leave instance button or any way to leave without using a waypoint.

There are events that spawn numerous foes, you can get 10+ tags off them if you are lucky. But it seems to be entirely random when you get it.

Biggest event I’ve encountered was a candy corn one. There was a lot of people around so maybe that affected it. But it spawned at least 20 mini eles and then one veteran. The ones that spawn plastic spiders and Skeletons aren’t near as numerous.

Doors do spawn in the same places, but I think its random on the timer.

I would hope that it would be going on all day on the 28th. That goes for all the events that start/end an act that require your presence. It seems really absurd to require you to be present at one specific time, and if then its a hit or miss.

Mine says zero and I have 3 completed (Carving, Huntin’, and Bags). So yeah, looks like its bugged.

I finished mine today. Its not too bad, but I would say it can be time consuming. Overflow servers help the issue if you have time constraints I guess. _

But all the human maps have pumpkins in most are of civilization. LA has one at at least every PoI. Once you scope out a good 30, its easy to make rounds on one or two characters. Not sure when they reset, seems to be pretty random.

Do doors even spawn in higher level maps? I have looked pretty hard in the Orr maps and Frostgorge and I haven’t even seen the hint of one. I usually see them pretty far away even if they despawn by the time I get there. Maybe they just stand out more in the lower level zones.

In low level zones I at least can find them. I stopped doing them on high level character though because I know it sucks for them to be obliterated quickly. I just hope that in the further acts there are other ways of getting the achievement progress for killing the monsters (in mad realm maybe?).

Ugh, can’t edit post.

The only achievement I am seriously concerned about is the Haunted Doors ones. Outside of the human low-level zones I have yet to run into one. I did a full sweep of cursed shore and didn’t see one. I know they can despawn pretty quickly but I dunno. :/

As far as Carving Pumpkins. I have had most luck finding them in the human zones nears civilization (Queensdale, Kessex, and Gendarran are the only ones I’ve scouted so far). I have 75 pumpkins carved so far. And the ones in LA seem to randomly reset sometimes, not sure if they have a random timer or what.

Thanks to Reddit, theres a map for Queensdale and pictures of the locations in LA:

I’m interested to see where the other achievements come from. The Scavanger hunt was a lot of fun, and I did it without a guide, wasn’t too hard. :P Can’t wait to see the rest of it. Not to mention the back slot item looks really cool (not that it fits my character).

Thanks for this post though, I’ll keep checking back as the other acts unlock.

I’m 24, and I have to say this game fills my MMO void good enough for me. I really enjoy it.

I liked other MMOs too, but I’d rather have something simple like this nowadays (am I getting old? :P). No more rep grinding, dailies, blah blah. My favorite MMOs have always been ones where you set your own goals, and GW2 allows me to do that.

I agree the cost is pretty high, but I dunno about changing it. It honestly is just a huge goal you set for your character. There isn’t much else to do with your characters at 80 other then to set goals for “fancy” gear.

A little over a month at making 2g a day, which is usually pretty easy in high level zones, you can get a majority of the tier 3 set.

I worked hard for my set, farmed for quite a while. It was pretty daunting at first, but small goals have always helped me. So thats why I set to making 2g a day for it. Was totally worth it for me.

I do find the pulling to be one of the most annoying things in the game. And I do agree that the aggro raidus of Acolytes seem immensely large. Risen in general seem pretty overtuned honestly. I get they are supposed to be the hardest enemies in the game, but for normal mobs they are harder then Zhaitan at this point. lol

Combine that with underwater Acolytes and its a disaster. I cry a little inside when a Ori vein spawns in some seriously infested water areas.

Overall, I have gotten used to majority of the crap thrown at you in Orr, but I will have to say its probably the most annoying zone I have ever experienced in a game.

Been waiting up for this. But seems I should just go to bed.

But I am kind of concerned that it may be late today (22nd) if we even see it today. On page about event, for the Black Lion boxes:

“The Black Lion Chest is getting a spooky upgrade for Halloween. Between October 23 and November 5 each Black Lion Chest you open has a chance to give you one of six exclusive Halloween-themed weapon skins!”

So there will definitely be a patch tonight/tomorrow (23rd) for at least some of this. Though I highly doubt Anet would splatter the wrong date all over the event page, and then have this date there.

Its possible the chest was invisible. I seem to be having that issue a lot since this last patch (Grenth, Arah, and Jormag event have all done it for me). If I didn’t know a chest was supposed to spawn I would of totally missed them.

If it is invisible should still get the “search” prompt in the area it spawns though.

Guess I’ll just echo this for me aswell.

I have 100% map completion, but obviously missing 1 zone in Maguuma and 2 in Shiverpeaks, that I cannot find for the life of me. I’ve written down every area on every zone in the areas and compared with my in-game, and still can’t seem to find them. Started doing jumping puzzles, but have all the ones for Maguuma area done and nothing there.

I did get the exploration pieces for 100% map completion as well. So I assume I have gotten all the rewards that are given. I did hear about getting exotics, but that might of been changed or something.

But same as everyone else in other regards:
Character Selection: 98%
Been There, Done That achievement: 97%
Map Medal: 97%

I have everything in “auto target/attack” turned off and it still occurs. It’s pretty annoying. Though it seems to do it considerably less since I got discharge/higher level. Not sure what is up with that.

And thank you to the people who have put a lot of effort into figuring out this bug. It has driven me bonkers since the beginning.

I don’t have any screenshots of all the items sadly.

Issues I’ve been encountering:

After swimming, boot textures seem to be messed up. I have noticed this on Winged boots and Exalted Boots. I have also seen a similar issue happen with Conjureror pants in the knee area (it could also occur for the boots as I had them equipped as well). Also, Winged gloves have it happen as well.

The textures turn into a white/red block and is like that till you relog. It doesn’t show up in the Hero panel, I also do not think it shows up to other people. It’s usually in the “trim” areas around the edges, like on the Winged it is where the vine detail is. On the Exalted it is in the fur trim area.

If you hang around for a while, eventually it seems to trigger. Took like 20 minutes to trigger for me. Which sucks. :/

Character: Kaliyanei
Story: Picking the Quaggan/Skritt for Priory (Level 40). I picked Quaggan, but showed Skritt at the end.

Everything else story wise seems to still hold water, except the Orb thing they talk about in Fort Trinity (which is bugged for me), not sure what is up with that.

Yep same here on Ferguson’s Crossing.

Along with almost every other DE is broken to some degree and incompleteable. :/
