Guild Wars 2

GreyWolf.8670:

Give people glider skins as rewards rather than making them buy all but the basic one.

Glider skins for the most part are ez cash for them imo. But i desperately want to be able to build/craft unique glider skins too. Maybe a compromise somehow? Legendary gliders? have their own updraft boost, a buff that would last for a few seconds and have a cooldown? or Legendary glider frame(you can craft) – that would allow you to do this and once unlocked would be applied to all your gliders?

I also like the idea of invisible gliders or being able to uncheck the glider so it doesn’t show when your gliding I like the superman look sometimes when its laggy and the glider doesn’t res right away Oooh how about a cape glider!

how bout glider skin tonics? equipping the tonic would be equipping the skin basically. Earn the tonic by defeating creatures in the world. Then transform into these creatures when gliding like drinking a tonic. Crow, Eagle, Owl, Flying Squirel, character sized Mini Shatterer or any dragon would be awesome!!!! Ohhhh i want a dragon tonic glider skin now! It would be like Orr except you would be that dragon in the sky and (much lower)

I like the idea of earnable glider skins. Make the game a bit more sandboxy and be able to build your own glider/unique skin. (similar to ArchAge for example)(And being able to color these with more pattern options would be a plus.) Each skin could have a ingame collection(minor grindy/gated + collecting the mats) and or unlocking all skin collections by gemstore puchase (1000-1500 gems?) That way gem store cash for you plus we’d have to grind it means we’d come back day after day to play more!

psizone.8437:

I think he made a lot of good points and I hope Mike watches the whole thing if he gets the chance.

I think it’s pretty worrying that they’d prefer to cancel something that people were promised (Legendaries) instead of pulling some of the 70 people working on the next expansion (which doesn’t have a set release date) in order to make sure everything was shipped properly.

It makes it seem like the next expansion is more important to them than making sure their core game is working, we have enough content and everything is balanced.

Why are they working on a new xpac so soon ( i get that it takes a long while) but i would think (the first 6 months to maybe 1 year)working on the content updates and finishing those first would be a priority. and then reflecting back on what worked and what didn’t and designing better things would be the way to go.

Well, i gotta include my name i guess. I love free things! All donations to the “help me go to Tyria college fund and craft my legendary” are welcome. If you are gunna quit playing make sure to send me all your a stuff first. Muchas Gracias!

minbariguy.7504:

In retrospect, knowing now the issues they were having finishing content for this expansion, it suddenly makes a lot more sense why they were in such a hurry to get people to buy it before they had to admit how little was in it.

I did think that they rather exaggerated some aspects of their content before release. For instance, I didn’t find the maps to be quite what it sounded like it was going to be. Four maps, all three levels. In reality, the only map that felt truly three levels to me was VB. And even then, the canopy level was minimal because it was mostly air and empty space. Most of the maps, at best, feel like two levels to me or maybe more like one and a half levels.

Anyway, HoT always felt like a very small expansion or a large content update to me. I figure the next expansion will be similar in size or smaller since they won’t have all the “systems” to add that they added with HoT since they’re already implemented.

VB – 3 layers, but you’ll spend 70% of the time on just the 2 lower ones

Basin – Only Topmost layer is at the entrance from VB, then some small spots(maybe?) around the rest of the map. The lowest layer is under the city, which isn’t that big compared to the rest of the map.

Tangled Depths – Yes, up to 4 layers. Pretty much fits what they talked about.

Dragon’s stand – one layer, with some underground caves based on events. Other than that, a dead zone unless you are doing the meta.

agree mostly with what you said, but basically
we got 3 maps VB, AB and TD with
DS being one big dynamic meta event. It’s not really a stand alone map like the others. (you can farm it for a few pods if you miss out on the meta but you’re right its pretty much a deadzone.)

My gaming style is much different from others it seems. I love pve Exploration!!! and was a big reason i bought gw2 when it came out. Maps, maps and more maps! I was hoping for the same number of maps in the original release or maybe a few less, but you can imagine the disappointment when i realized we’d only be getting 4 new maps in HoT and 1 of them was just a dynamic event. :‘( The different levels can be fun at times but not all maps utilize that proposed style as well. TD while being a nightmare initially, after a couple months seems to be the best of the 3. After PVE Exploration Legendaries are the next best thing! Ofcourse this is a process, play the game, collect and store mats, pray to the RNG gods (which hate you, so gl with that) that you get a precursor drop. Crating these weapons is a constant ongoing process that i enjoy. I’ve been waiting to see what new weapons would be released before i start to work further then the first stage, but now i guess that legendary masteries for crafting is just all pointless.

Fractals has become another big part of my gaming style, what’s this about Legendary Fractal backpacks not happening?

Queen of FA.7398:

I’ve played this game for 3 years everyday. This expansion there is a few issues that still need fixed. In the new wvw maps they are way too huge and it is a pain to get from point a to point b with the terrain and twists and turns and it makes everyone want to stay on the eternal borderlands because the new maps are way too big and the terrain a bit of a pain. Just make the maps a bit less huge and make the terrain less of a pain.

I love the new WVW desert BL maps. Yea it seems like they were originally designed for gliding, then something went wrong and they decided not to allow it which makes no sense, as you can design anything, or invisi walls around keeps or other methods to keep gliding over keep walls easily out of the game, but w/e.

I think they are great fun ROAMING maps mostly cause no one uses them. but which if zergs did uses them make them even bigger! It does seem to funnel people a bit more and I understand the thinking there’d be huge zergs so it should be more fun / more combat. But i guess if wvw’ers are big whiners then that won’t happen much.

Queen of FA.7398:

You can’t make gold ever really from wvw, the drops blow, When you nerfed dungeons without coin from that people don’t play it.

Yea i don’t anymore, less i want specific tokens. I get why they nerfed dungeon to make people play pve content. But i presumed they’d be redoing them in the future.

Oh jeeez please don’t do any of that.

I currently have 161 MP and have like 1- maybe i’ll get 2-3 more if i can make it past Hearts and Minds personal story that i’m currently stuck on. But I still haven’t done the raid MPs yet and doesn’t look like i’ll be able to as only the super difficult adventure MPs are left which i can’t even get silver at…. and its very, very unlikely that I’ll get anymore. Trust me, i’ve been through the list.

I just hope more mastery points are added with the next content update in April.

I believe they also dumped in that you have to max out each branch in the Heart of Maguuma masteries in order to craft the new legendaires as “The gift of Insights” can only be made if you have done so.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gift_of_Insights

Gift of the Itzel -Adrenal Mushrooms is required to purchase this item.
Gift of the Nuhoch -Requires Nuhoch Alchemy
Gift of the Exalted -Exalted Gathering is required to purchase this item.
Gift of Gliding -Ley Line Gliding is required to purchase this item.

So have fun collecting those masteries, as some adventures are super easy and others are very frustrating. Depending on your skill level (and internet speed/lag amount) you might not be able to get enough points to craft new legendaries. So you might just have to grind for gold and buy one instead, unless they are account bound? idk

Hoan.5389:

2H axes, ball n chain, crossbow, chakrams all would be great, but I can’t see any new weapons being implented soon.

2H axes/ crossbow would be cool, but it think that might be next Xpac maybe when they introduce a new race? OR could be added when they introduce a new story line and npcs in that story have them.

but yeah best thing/ way to implement these probably would be unique weapon skin designs in the gem store or one of a set of unique skins that come out montlhy/bi monthly? Crossbow could be for shortbow or pistols. Ball and chain could be and new weapon skin for a sword. yada yada yada…

just an idea

Gilburt.9146:

While the other maps have problems, I think Dragon’s Stand is the worst of all the Heart of Thorns maps. Here’s why:

1. You can only get on a new map for about a 20 minute window every two hours. Since Dragon’s Stand takes at least an hour to complete, you’re out of luck if you get on at the wrong time and don’t have much time to play, or don’t want to wait over an hour.

2. It has the least replayability of all the maps. All 3 lanes are fairly similar, which means regardless of where you go there is not a lot of diversity compared to other maps. On top of that many of the events repeat throughout the lane.

3. Most of the content in the lanes is just face-roll damage spam in a zerg. Meh. Some events are fun, and the bosses have some interesting skills, but most of it falls flat for me.

4. If another lane fails at their blighting tower, you have to spend 10-20 minutes running in a circle hoping the pain will end.

5. The Mouth of Mordremoth fight is, and I can’t stress this enough, BORING. SO BORING. MY GOD IS IT BORING. Most of the fight is spent standing around, attacking inanimate objects that don’t affect the bosses health, attacking champions whose deaths don’t affect the bosses health, getting insta-killed by the occasional Wyvern, watching Mordremoth smear your allies corpses all over the islands while being impossible to damage, and watching Mordremoth float while being impossible to damage. The only phase in which it actually feels like you’re doing something is the mortar shell phase…

6. As if the Mordremoth fight was not boring enough already, the Mouth often bugs out when it reaches 0% health forcing you to wait an additional 2 minutes before the unskippable cinematic starts…

7. Once you kill the most boring boss in the game, you only get 15 minutes to explore the map before it is closed, even if you finish 30-45 minutes before the maps are scheduled to reset. If you’re fast and only interested in getting all the Noxious Pods, then this is barely enough time, but if you want to explore the map and/or are slow then it is not.

8. The areas where Noxious Pods spawn are kind of annoying (though this is not the worst thing about this map). :/

9. Leystone armor, one of the unique skins offered from this map, is almost exclusively available through low-RNG drops from the Noxious Pods. Yay, grind.

Discuss.

1. You can farm the map for noxious pods and then join another empty map and farm that one while you wait.
2. DS is more of a Big dynamic event, then a map by itself.
3.There are achieves that reward masteries that you can get in each lane that are different.
4. true and if one lane fails you’ve just wasted 2 hours. Completely relying on strangers to get access to those extra ores.
5. and the mortar shell phase fails everytime even when you are locked on target and in range of the dragons head nothing happens.
6. musta been fixed. Never seen this.
7. Yea its a sprint there after the kill not a marathon. Why there are even champs and legendary mobs there makes no sense other then to slow you down more and not let you gather the ore you need. (Ahhh Anet i see what you are doing there…)
8. see #7
9. Looks ugly imo on all skins.

There are 4 areas that spawn tons of Noxious Pod nodes after the Meta dragon boss fight that you have to SPRINT through before time runs out. They also have Champion and vet mobs in your way so watch out! Too bad i didn’t know about this the first 10 times i did the events

Ancient Runes area is ONE

Place where you can get a juvenile tiger as a ranger pet and there are Wyverns and Beetles in the area is TWO

The underground area with the jumping mushrooms is THREE.

Spider area where u need ley-line gliding or a Mesmer port to get up is FOUR.

So if you’re fast enough from a single map event you could gather 30-60 ores if you’re lucky +collecting along the way usually nets you the first 5-8. Even if a Meta map is full join the group and wait till the end when people start to leave to join that meta map. You might be able to get in after and still hit those rooms without having to run the 2 hour instance, mean while just farm the empty maps for nodes n pods or afk until the last 30 mins when you try and get into the meta map (no xp, but easy ores)

If you have Ley-line gliding i’d start at the blue circle/spider area first (no big deal if you don’t you can just skip this one) and then go to the red circle/Ancient Ruins area next. Jump into the hole right there and follow the red arrows on your map, they’ll be an updraft at the end to get you up. (there’s also another way but i don’t know if its any faster) and hopefully others will already be there aggroing mobs so you can jump in and open pods with minimal things attacking you. Then go back to the same red circle wp and run south to the tiger area. You can see my white dotted line for the path. Then wp to the green circle/ jumping mushrooms area, just turn left from the wp and glide down past the updrafts and do a 180 just past the cliff. (make sure you don’t touch the vines below or you will insta die) and go into that little room/opening. There are Mushroom mobs waiting to attack you so either stealth or dodge outta the way! and your done!
Last two times i ran this path i netted 48 ores and 63 ores!

edit: the 63 ores might be partially due to running all over the map during the meta event just opening pods

Been trying this instance multiple times solo and with groups recently neither seem to be any easier. The updrafts seem to be glitchy and are the main reason attempts fail constantly. Half if not more of the teams i’ve been in can’t get up into the air fast enough. Which usually by half way thru only 1 or 2 people are left to fight the rest of the battle.Is this really how it was planned to work? I find that jumping into the updrafts like normal doesn’t work. You have to walk under the updraft, then it lifts you up, but it doesn’t always allow you to open your glider, so you insta die. and Some can’t see the updrafts.

Would be nice if you could rejoin the fight instead of stuck up in a penalty box. OR wait until everyone is dead and then rejoin the fight where the last person left off without having to start completely over. Another idea: Make it past the first air phase- that saves your progress. If everyone dies you restart from that point and so on. And lastly you could just rejoin where the bosses health was when last person died like it is in MOST other story instances! Why is this any different?

I think i’ll just wait till the next release in April and see if you Anet have fixed these glitchy things or Made this part run a little smoother. Wasting an hour thru cut scenes you can’t skip, and a long instance, only to constantly fail on the pale tree because your group can’t get into the air is not a FUN thing to experience.

Next expansion or next Xpac? because Next Xpac will be in 3+ years. I can’t believe that would be a realistic wait. So many old legendaires in Gw2 vanilla why so few in HoT?

With fractals anyways noobs are expected in lvls 1-20. After that you should have an idea of what to do, (they are the same just stacks in difficulty) and if not just do them a bunch until you are use to them. There’s daily stuff now that gives you the opportunity to practice and get rewarded for it. I personally dislike the term “noob” nowadays because everyone uses it to insult everyone all the time even though they aren’t “new to the game” aka “noob/newbie”.
It’s no longer a skill reference as it is an insult. Those using this term in game aren’t worth playing with as they have huge egos and are baddies themselves most of the time. There aren’t that many elite players that i’ve seen in the game but there are alot of A###%^%$#^. Pugging isn’t that bad anymore though, because a lot of people know what to do. The best pugs i’ve found are the silent ones, where everyone knows what they are doing or don’t mind minor mistakes- its a pug not a pro guild run! If you have a loud mouth in your group, i’d bail even before it begins because most likely if the group runs into trouble, THEY will be the trouble!

I’m a hardcore casual player. What does this mean? I play a lot (4+hours per day) I’m not a beginner but I’m no Pro either, just your average Gw2 junkie. (i play for fun, not being the best of the best.) GW2 was great, everyone was friendly and helpful unlike the game i came from “WoW”. I often solo play but like the mild interactions with others in the game, over a FPS game like Skyrim. I don’t need nor want alot of social interaction like HoT forces you to do.

I grew sick of HoT mostly because the expasion seemed like a much harder different game in all ways then before. Less fun and more surfing the internet for guides on how to do stuff. Which imo if you have to google fights then your lacking the fun aspect of games. I shouldn’t have to study outside the game in order to play it.

More challenging content on an indivual basis is understandable for those that want it. I however was just fine the way it was. Where is my new content for that now? Where are all my new maps to explore and ranodm elements not listed anywhere but fun things you stumble across while exploring the edges of the game? nowhere apparently, go play another game it seems to be what you are saying. And i did!

All the fights were easy enough to solo up until the Boss fight where my problems began.

I agree with Lauren on this boss fight bit. I got the boss down to 25% first try(then of course failed half dozen more times) then knocked outta air even though i was dodging it and nobody came to rez me (npc like they had before) insta death and woke up in this penalty box thing and then had to restart the fight. And this is just for STORY! you should be able to rejoin the fight where you left off. I could understand this difficulty for Achievements, but for story? really? come on.

I assume the difficulty has something to do with the mix of being able to do achievements with story but this is just crazy compared to all the other story boss fights so far in HoT. Was going along fine solo’ing everything(like how i play the game) and now will have to TRY to find others to help me finish this as i can’t do it myself. >:(

edit : the difficulty on this STORY fight doesn’t even make sense if “Flights of Fancy- 5 pts- Prerequisite: Completing the Hearts and Minds story instance once to unlock it.” is true.

More and more harder content is just the way of games these days. HoT was a wkaer up call for casuals who enojyed GW2 the way it was and didn’t want a huge shift in content skill. I love the new WvW maps I don’t understand why people dislike them. They are fun to play with small roaming groups – which is just about all thats on them now, and that makes it more fun then Huge zergs anyways. But there is alot of difficult and challenging content: adventures, and random personal story bits that are way too difficult imo. I’ve been playing since launch and this is insane. I must admit i took a break around xmas- thru January because i disliked it so much. Definetly feels more WoW like with raids and obvious grind sessions, before it was more fun now its more study websites to learn routes and guides on how to do stuff in game and that really defeats the point. If the core base is hardcore players- which i don’t think it is that’s a small vocal group then i’d understand. But this game is for RP’ers and casuals lets be honest. Most things will get easier if you play it more, (what anet wants) but some things will still just kick you in the A##.

Windows® Minimum System Requirements

Windows® XP Service Pack 3 or better
Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3 OR AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI X1800, Intel HD 3000, or better (256 MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)
35 GB available HDD space
Broadband Internet connection
Keyboard and mouse

I don’t even see the recommended suggestions on this page http://help.guildwars2.com/entries/25390756-Minimum-System-Requirements

but still while the minimum might be broadband internet connection the suggested version should list at “what speed” of a connection you should have to be able to complete adventures like “Sanctum Scramble” without skills malfunctioning.

When looking to buy a game and seeing you meet the requirements then playing and realizing …“Yeah, not really.” its a huge let down and disappointment to know you can’t craft “New Legendaries” without some of these adventures completed. I can’t even get bronze on Sanctum Scramble. It’s that bad. And most of the silvers are super difficult. Gold is impossible on most all. Only 1 gold finish to date. These adventures are not fun and are not totally optional since you need to do some if not all of them to get enough mastery points to unlock the full mastery line to purchase an item you need to make Legendaires!!!

Like i need the adrenal mushrooms (something i thought worthless before) to unlock the Itzel thingy for legendaires.(i now assume all lines have to be unlocked, so resetting masteries(though not available anyways) might be kind of pointless.) but because i suck at the adventures. i can barely even get silver let alone gold. So the “options” i have left for mastery points in is a HUGE PAIN and not something fun like in the first release of GW2 for crafting legendaries (not that never ever getting a precursor from a drop or chest or the hundreds of rares or exotics dumped into the toliet was fun)but everyone felt the same pain. Now it seems like i’m the only one getting screwed!

I mean crafting new Legendary precursors i thought was suppose to be easier then the old way. Apparently Anet wanted to make it more difficult?

3rd times a charm i guess. don’t know why it worked this time and not others :/

that’s twice now that I’ve fought the Champion Svanir Shaman Chief and not received the ICY RIME? this event bugged? or am i doing something wrong? I’ve looted the chest got the rare chest rewards but no ICY RIME I’ll have to wait another 2 hours and try again- feels like i’ve been camped here all day

yea 2 mins after it turned night someone killed her i and i wasn’t able to get it and had to wait another 2 hours and make sure i was there just as it turned from dusk to night Which kinda sucks to have to hit that 2 min window from when night turns and the lady in white appears(just in case she has a death sentence ) As for the rest of the 38min night time you can’t get it.

According to WIKI: “Fog’s Damp is a trophy required for the Meteorlogicus I: The Experimental Scepter legendary weapon collection. In order to do this part of the collection achievement you need to walk into the graveyard to the east of Shaemoor when it’s night time. Note that the graveyards area extends beyond the entrance gate. If you are in the graveyard when night falls, you will not be able to collect the fog.”

I was in Southsun cove when it turned nighttime got the /sleep achieve there i needed and came to Queensdale map. I walked into the grave yard but nothing happened. I could see the moon and the stars, you can hear owl’s hooting but no fog anywhere around. This is blocking my progress to making my legendary. please help.

Just got VB map complete loot on my alt that didn’t have 100% world map complete. But still nothing for my toons that already had 100% world map complete and these VB rewards are needed for legendary crafting!!! so fix please and mail me my loot! (same goes for other new HoT maps as well)

yeah wish there was some strong box way of collecting masteries like in the jungle. or by having them on the map somewhere. All the achieves i didn’t want or couldn’t do are the ones i have left and i need 5 points and only see a path to 3 of them

I’m a solo Pve’r/ explorer and that’s what i liked about gw2 original, endless possibilities. I’ll pvp/wvw when i get bored of things or guild is active when i’m on. But this xpac is almost undoable if you are solo player. Lots of HPs and content is structured around and much easier with 2-3 or many more people. Seems to have gone in the direction for hardcore players. gl

Mor The Thief.9135:

Anet responded to topic on reddit about this issue saying that they know about this issue and are working on fixing it

The topic:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3qtuk7/any_word_on_glitched_map_completion_rewards/?

So is reedit their official forums now? I don’t know how to use that site hehe

Beliskner.5039:

If you completed it once with one char and got nothing, why would you attempt it again until its sorted hehe.

But yes i hope they fix this, anyone with 100% map completion gets nothing from new maps or southsun, silverwastes or drytop.

Well the first time might of just been a glitch as that sometimes happens and other toons are fine, but since still no word from anet one way or the other i am testing whether or not a non 100% World map completion toon on an account with other 100% WMC toons are able to get a reward. Then i would have a better idea of the problem at hand.

100% Verdant Map Complete, No Reward???
Like many others have said, I have now experienced the same thing, but i don’ t know if this is a confirmed bug or like Silverwastes where if your toon already has 100% world map complete you get nothing (kinda bug). That seems a little unfair if other non world map completes get something. So you can just mail me my verdant brink map rewards, that would be fine.

HoT: Coztic Itzel Belongings Hero Point

Hero Points Not Showing as Completed on World Map

I noticed on my alt today after thinking (Didn’t i just do that HP) that one Hero Point is not showing as completed on map, after i’ve completed it and when i stand infront of the HP it shows completed(picture 1). It’s not giving map credit either. Still shows 9/11 and its one of the only 2 that ping on the map when you rollover the map key icon. The HP that’s causing the problem is Coztic Itzel Belongings Hero Point which is really close to the Treacherous Path Waypoint.

????

It’s not a layer thing or Canopy vs Basement thing unless HPS are overlapped exactly in the same spot.
I do wonder if this is somehow related to the 100% map complete not giving rewards, but idk.

edit: I’ve completed the map 100%(As you can see in picture 1 that hp is done), but no map reward. In (picture 2) World Map doesn’t show that HP as completed. This Hero point bug still exists.

yeah after he teleports that 2nd time just run straight off that ledge. and glide across. You’ll notice the option To Dragon Surge will be available. Press that button and you’ll move faster. Hit it again if it doesn’t make it all the way across the first time. If you don’t you’ll be moving too slow and fall to your death.

The trick is to Jump off the center ledge straight at Ruka and hit Dragon’s surge(repeatedly if you have to). You’ll move faster and make the distance.

For me this was frustrating to figure out. The part of the story where you “follow Ruka to get away from corrupted faolain” and have to use the 3 keys: dragon’s pounce, dragon’s wing, dragon’s surge with glide which doesn’t always work. #1 ruka teleports across that expanse there is no way to “follow” her directly(or so i thought). #2 if you go left along the edge and use dragon’s wing or dragon’s pounce and try to glide, glide does not always work and you fall to your death. #3. If you follow the edge along to the left there is a point where there is no where to go and you have to glide a far distance across, but you can’t and fall to your death. #4 if you jump and glide straight on center lip, and press Dragon’s surge you move faster but then hit an invisible wall and fall to your death. My gear was all red, my toon was naked and i had to google video guides, that weren’t that helpful. After failing 30+ times I finally realized that if you keep pressing Dragons surge you’ll eventually make it across. though i did notice invisible walls holding me back and i had to press the button repeatedly several times. It seems this wasn’t that clear as what you were suppose to do or because when i first tried to glide across and failed, i tried different paths and didn’t notice the dragon’s surge was available in mid air .

Can’t talk to Magg after the Scorpion thingies mounds and can’t proceed to next fight (big scorpion thing)(yeah i forget the name for them) was this the same glitch as before? Neways needs fixed.

Yes with all the effort that goes into making them i understand Anet is being lazy/cheap and not making them armor skins, It’s more profitable for them to make outfits instead. I probably shouldn’t of said ‘why?’ since i know why:D I just want Armor skins like it used to be—regardless, I pref customization, which i thought was the point of this game. The vanity aspect.

There are a lot of people like myself who wont spend IRL money because they are ONLY outfits. I use to spend money on the gem store a lot, then outfits came out and i stopped. Do you guys still get little thankyou gifts from Anet for from buying things monthly from the gemstore?

A. don’t run pugs during peak times because you will encounter lots of problems more often then not.

B. you are a classist

C. Most people in pugs who complain about pugs are bad at pugs themselves.

Seriously, i hardly ever encounter fail pugs, Speed runs (imo are normal runs) are fine without Zerks as long as most peeps are exp’d and you can guesstimate that based of AP, though obviously its not 100% fail proof. =D It’s amazing that there is so much hate for pugs, yet usually the people complaining about it are the ones that can’t play well with others, and give pugs a bad name.

PLEASE STOP making only one click wardrobe outfits. I want to customize my toon with different pieces from these sets, not an entire costume set. I prefer individuality and not 1000 toons looking the exact same. Why aren’t they all by piece by piece Armor skins? Once you unlock it, it could also automatically go into your wardrobe as costume, so people have both options. I’ve seen several sets recently that i would buy on the gem store,(Ceremonial Plated, Crystal Nomad, Imperial, Jungle Explorer, Shadow Assassin, Noble Count Outfits) but because they are entire costume outfits i don’t even bother with it. It seems more recently Outfits have replaced Armor skins. Why?

Shaogin.2679:

Not sure why you’re having issues. The Wiki lists multiple locations for most pets, and I literally just recently went down that very list taming pets, including most of those on your list there, with no problems.

I had a hard time finding the Hyena. Some of those locations seem outdated. (but apparently often times there is only 1 or 2 in a location) I Iooked in the locations wiki gave me and they were not there the first time. I don’t know if this was a glitch/server related/ time of day, but for some reason when i went back on another server to fields of ruin, i spotted several green juveniles by the heart, as soon as i tamed 1 they all turned red again except for 2. I don’t know if this is some sort of bug or if they only a spawn every so often.
Remember don’t expect a lot of juveniles at one location. I swam around for a bit in Sanctom Harbor, LA before i found the blue jelly fish, the red one was much easier to find.

not fixed yet, still an army in DR, no idea how peeps are doing this.

9 days back and still broke today, lets see how far back this bug goes on the forums!

edit: okay so do what Sikketh said, i switched from credit card to paypal and back to credit card entered info proceeded and it eventually worked. Seems like bad coding to me. Someone should check the coding text to make sure all the characters are in there proper place.

can’t buy a 2800 pack, still broke, seems like this in’t gunna get fixed anytime soon since its been a week already. I never even get to the error message, it never goes past the billing info page. Anet doesn’t want my money- fine then I’ll keep it :P

edit: i noticed some things from reading several forum posts on this topic, which seem to go back several tabs (weeks n weeks)

1. if you switch the gem amount you can sometimes get the credit card info to appear, but for me its the wrong amount of gems 2800 never works, 1600 and 4000 give the credit card info screen.
2. if i switch to paypal i can proceed with my 2800 gem purchase, but i don’t have paypal and want to use a credit card

double edit okay so i did what Sikketh said, i switched from credit card to paypal and back to credit card entered info proceeded and it eventually worked! but this seems like bad coding to me. Someone should check the coding text for the gemstore to make sure all the characters are in there proper place, because something is off and its been that way for about 2 weeks maybe more.

Gemstore still broken can’t purchase gems ingame

It seems there server is slow, or broken? I just tried and it took a while for the credit card – paypal- selections to appear then the amount appeared several seconds later, i proceeded to the next page and entered my billing info, but that’s as far as i got. Clicking on the “next” button did nothing. It has always popped up quick in the past?

3. but because of this i don’t trust the site, seems shady/broken/ bad coding problems. I don’t want to be billed an NOT get my gems!

please please look at this soon!

Tried 4 hours ago and tried again now, Anet doesn’t want my money. It still won’t let me buy gems. It’s like there server is super slow, i fill everything out and hit the ‘next’ button and it won’t progress to the next page.

There are thousands of pages of forum entries, yet when i enter a few words seeking info or titles of others topics i always yield nothing. I know there have been others with the issue concerning “Lightning pull”. But when i search for that i get “0 entries” and i know that’s not possible. Is there a way to tag our topics? or Search by Topic title? I’ve goten posts sometimes that just use the word “sprint” in the body of the post and are talking about something completely different then “Sanctum Sprint”. Being able to just look for a few words and selecting : Title, Body(of message) or tags be a good way i would think to set up the search bar. But the way it is now and for the last couple years is awful. Currently there is no reason for it since it seems useless.

edit: and typing the whole url “site:forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/players search options” doesn’t seem to help either, I still get “No Results”

The Dashed Advantage achieve is bugged.
I bring Aerin down to below 50% HP he pops his sun shield, i collect air and sun crystal jump up to ledge and dash thru door and immediately get ported right back out.
I notice there is a portal beneath me no matter how i angle through the door (i don’t click on the portal and I’ve restarted the instance and tried several times but same result). During the first attempt i saw the golem starting to run to the other side, but i was ported back out before i could do anything. I’ve looked at “how to” videos online and they never have a portal beneath them when they enter the little room.
So I’m wondering if post “Point of No Return” there is some sort of glitch preventing me from doing this achievement? Any ideas on what’s wrong here? Thanks

According to the intro cut scene after you sign your name when making your character (that cut scene) it states quote… “On the eve of my awakening, i feel the earth singing in my bones”(at about 1:43). I previously thought this not to be true, but apparently it IS! Sylvari do have bones! PROOF!

guesting to another server if mega server lets you might help. I was able to get past that gate and killed the ice worm slower this time and got credit. So i think the Tarnished Coast server is messed up, Try another and you might progress through it. Like me

Can’t progress to the Giant ice worm. I already killed it once and got no credit. Stuck in a never ending “Join the festive moot brawl” event. Creatures come out over n over but it never stops. The gate to the ice worm is closed and there’s a growing number of players just waiting here now and can’t progress. Logging entirely out of game doesn’t help, Still stuck in the tutorial when i log back in. there is no way out.

Is this the entire game? Get yer 3xp at a time and level to 80 this way?
Please reset server and fix this glitch.

I wasted 10 xp scrolls on this if i have to reroll.

edit: of my personal story last thing to do is “be victorious in the great hunt”. I already defeated the Giant ice worm what is there left to do?

apparently the “hunt and collect a trophy” part is looping endlessly

I love how people on the forum can’t read. Get about 4-6 comments below and people stop commenting on the original poster and start slinging insults at one and other.
Every comment section everywhere on the web, this happens. Look at the original poster and answer their question. Or go off topic like most do and cry. I’m hear looking for info on Necro’s and this is what i find …
