Guild Wars 2

[&AgGdqgAA] → read description → “yes”

For karma you will need 210,000 karma since you can only get 5/6 pieces.
You will need another 331 badges for light/medium armor and 295 badges for heavy armor.
Not sure how much randomness there is but gettting to 1000 Achievement points seems to be enough to get you 300 badges from the reward chests.

AC path 1 is easy, the other 2 can be easy or hard depending on the team
SE path 1 and 3 are fairly easy.
HotW path 1 is fairly easy and short, the other two paths have a bunch of HP sponges and underwater end boss.

Esplen.3940:

Tested, Mainhand Sword with Sigil of Strength, offhand with Sigil of Energy (endurance on weapon swap). Got might 3 times within 4 mobs + 1 critter. My crit chance is 40%. I did not use any skill that gives me might.

I killed a bit more and have around 59%-64% crit chance. I can maintain around 3 stacks.

Second test. Replace the weapon with a Sigil of Strength with one that has Sigil of Earth. I stopped getting any might stacks. This is just to verify that I didn’t miss anything that could have been giving might stacks.

Did you open the reward chest from every map?

Healix.5819:

If you want to be very strict, everyone has already violated the rules for just running the game. Any anti-virus or firewall will violate multiple rules, including memory reading and intercepting network traffic.

They can’t tell the difference between a macro and a virtual keyboard, so they can’t just ban it. Blanket banning would hit anyone with special buttons, like those found on most mice. The only thing they could really do is look for someone opening thousands of bags per second. If you make a macro to open a bag every ~200-400ms, they’ll never know.

A different dev’s response https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/Another-live-WvW-Map-Checking-legality/2388512

This is entirely different. The guy was asking if it was ok to read the keyboard, not send key presses to the game. Was a pretty silly question, since if doing so was illegal, you wouldn’t be able to use the keyboard outside the game.

Reading key press for the activation of a particular skill slot for the purpose of providing knowing the exact areas where you can activate the second part. Anyone using that certainly has an advantage over someone who isn’t while using the same skill.

munkiman.3068:

Also, there are plenty of games where auto-loot means if somethings drops for you i goes straight into your inventory.

Based on the datamined info before the feature appeared in the game that style of auto looting was actually hinted at as well. There was a text string indicating that there would be a setting for that. Might still be the case since it sounded like AoE looting was implemented as a last minuted thing.

DEKeyzToChaos.7381:

Search bar is currently bugged. No ETA on fix.

This is probably due to the fact that their whiskey bar is fully functional.

So we’re waiting for the Ballmer Peak?

Two elementalist, two guardians.

They are actually sending mixed messages your link above(https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Are-AoE-Loot-Macros-allowed/first#post2400839)
A different dev’s response https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/Another-live-WvW-Map-Checking-legality/2388512

Haven’t tested these(although I have the full set on my Engineer) but there was and still seems to be a general issue with any +specific condition duration runes.

ProtoGunner.4953:

Just level to 400, done in about 1.5h.

and around 14g it seems
http://gw2crafts.net/weaponcraft.html

An easy to work around is to use a search engine with a site restriction.

So for example if you wanted to search the entire forum for elementalist and condition damage it would be

site:https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2 elementalist “condition damage”

If you just wanted to search the elementalist subform it would be

site:https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist elementalist “condition damage”

If you wanted to search the French/German/Spanish part instead then you would also just change the URL to match

Jake.1842:

I’ve done 100% world completion on 2 characters completely solo. Just avoid the tougher group events and it’s pretty simple.

Nice, how was the champ guarding the skill point south of shelter in CS?

I am about as annoyed with that one as you are but a single skill point in the doesn’t suddenly make it ‘not solo friendly’. Even if we are just counting skill points that is less half a percent of the game.

SirDrygan.1823:

Understandable…. but at least give him a headstone or something. I would think as the partner to the hero of the Ebon Vanguard, a headstone beside his wife would be fitting for him even with all his flaws or mistakes…..

Well that is one way to look at it.

Another is that if he went missing while Gwen was alive she would have held hope for his survival until her own death. He has done it once before, he could do it again. Why not put one after Gwen’s death? Just a continuation of what Gwen wanted. Putting one up right after her death could be a bit like disrespecting her wishes(perhaps something like “no grave unless there is definitive proof of Keiran’s death”).

Hmm could already do the same in Southsun Cove. Do these Risen fish also drop Heavy Moldy Bags? If they do it would make them better than Southsun.

Pressing 0 again(or whatever your keybind is) works for me using Tornado. Weapon swap is greyed out.

LeGi.3921:

Hey,

now im playing with Lyssarunes in PvP and i experienced, that they dont work properly all the time.

for example when i want to get the boons to stomp someone and i start stomping instantly after casting my elite i get the buff for my basilisk venom but the boons and conditionremove wont come.

it feels like there is a ~0.1 sec window the effect takes to pop in.

would be great if that could be removed or fixed~

thanks

Are you using the Quick Venoms trait as well?
There is actually an unlisted kitten CD on (6) of the Lyssa runes.

The actual reductions are applied and they do stack. It is a visual bug. The wiki had a note about that too or at least it used to. Maybe someone removed it. It’s been around long before the move to Grandmaster.

Illusionists Celerity actually seemed to be bugged in that it is applying a 20% reduction instead of a 20% faster recharge.

They are the Vigil Leggings [&AgHSFAAA]

Doggie.3184:

Need da Nerveshatter :<

Looks like Icebreaker in a different color.

Chopps.5047:

A) Charge crystals daily and mine nodes
B) Level armorsmithing
C) Takes a full month for all the crystals you need to make all the inscriptions so continue leveling armorsmithing
D) Craft away
E) Or if you don’t want to, don’t do it

Don’t forget to get the recipe unlocks.

Well next Wintersday is only a couple of months away …

Kain Francois.4328:

can we still celestial armor on tp? If so, this is just a way to profit off crafting.

Account Bound
Soulbound on Use

Joseph Skyrim.2470:

Slightly more entertaining than the commander icon, but less useful. :P

I think you mean MORE useful

Apparently getting to 10k AP gets you a nice pile of gold http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Achievement#Achievement_rewards
Exchange the gems as well and you have 100g. So what is the new complaint?

Ema.4953:

The badges on the coming soon section:
[img]https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/ea02dCP_NextHero_EN.jpg[/img]
Is that the black lion trading logo on Keil’s badge? Or is that the logo for Lion’s Arch in general?

Did you forget she is part of the Lionguard?
They got lions all over their gear.

Awe.1096:

I want an armor that takes one year to obtain. Becouse why not? It builds the exclusive status of items. Make that doable in few days and suddenly every single Joe in the hood sports one. It then stops to be shiny and becomes cheap.

Except in this case they look just like all the other crafted exotic armor so there is nothing to show off …

Also the 1 per day can turn into 1 per 2 days after the event. I guess some people are just not going to care so they will just sell their Quartz Crystal(probably for a high price, then again maybe not considering the price of Mystic Coins).

The chest doesn’t show up until you change map or relog.

Happysack.7132:

Heaven forbid they favor jumping puzzles for a month, some of us do enjoy jumping puzzles and find this new release to be great. I being among the people who enjoy it.

Plenty of other content is released all the time, a couple new jumping puzzles and an Spvp map that has some cool new mechanics was a great idea and warmly welcomed by everyone I’ve talked to about it thus far.

If you don’t like the events don’t participate in them, plenty of other stuff to do in the game.

(Granted its a bit buggy thus far but I’m sure they’ll clean it up)

The problem is the failure to account for lag. Normal JPs aren’t affected as much since movement is handled client side. On the other hand these new aspect skills are skills which means they get checked on the server side so lag is going to matter a whole lot. It’s not like it is even hard or expensive to test things with simulated lag. $70 would cover everything including taxes and shipping.

I think you are also being way too optimistic if you think any of this is going to get fixed before the event ends. Things like pressing 1, see the puff of air but no actual movement. When you actually try movement THEN it pops you into the air. That sort of thing throws off any sort of timing you hope to have.

For the person saying that people who do not like PvP having to do that bit … that one is a JP too so that is equal hate for everyone.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

also, everyone will get all the skins, eventually.

we are getting content every 2 weeks and will get about 200+ new achievements points each month if we complete all the achievements.

Each month adds 390 achievement points through dailies, and 110 achievement points through monthlies. That means every month +500 points come in before counting new content.

Hmm this update adds 250, part 2 might add another 250. 1k – 1.5k / month maybe?

That is not new … they are above you.
Below each one is some stair/ramp you can walk up.

That sounds like he hasn’t reset yet but you could have gotten the kite when you got in there. It’s in the second room which remains open.

It’s been a while but I don’t remember having to go in the door to trigger the achievement.

Hot Sauce.2867:

1) Bugs are things that don’t work as intended
2) Downed state is working as intended
3) Be better about surviving? What class are you having difficulty with? What build? What gear? It might make perfect sense that you die super fast in downed state

As a ranger I can tank some bosses while in downed state because of my bear…

If you are going to say that it is horrible at least give us some context so that you can get advice for something that is functioning just fine. What you are arguing seems to be just a rant.

Ah ha!

Bug: There is no /rant section on the forums.

Well there was the new POI in Gendarran Fields added for the Not So Secret jumping puzzle.

captaincrash.6528:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Achievement#Achievement_rewards As is you can’t get all the skins according to the wiki, unless they add more chests afterwards.

It would be very silly if they didn’t. There are already people at 11k.

This should go in the bugs section and for the other part you would need to open a support ticket.

There IS a slot for them in collections tab. It’s with the other gemstones instead of in the rare materials section.

I am pretty sure you can’t interact with any of them. You just need to get near to trigger the achievement.

You’ll be able to get at least 7 different skins(should be all unless ANet is being silly).

I think I know what happened for both of you. When you right clicked to preview it didn’t actually change the selection so you ended up getting the default or whatever you may have left clicked on at some point when browsing/scrolling. Which skin did both of you end up unlocking?

Karizee.8076:

I think you can only loot the random baskets throughout the world, the achievement baskets in the puzzles are not lootable.

At least that’s how it works for me.

Yeah, that must be right, otherwise it is rather strange that i got 3 baskets in a row and none of them were lootable. I just wish that was actually explained a bit better.

Btw, where do random baskets drop? from the enemy? I’m wondering as i haven’t found any yet.

They don’t drop. They just sit there out in the world like hologram projectors. Similarly marked with a basket icon. Interacting spawns two loot bags however you can only get them once per day even though the baskets respawn. Not sure if that is once per day per character or per account.

Did you do the one in the Not So Secret JP in Gendarran Fields? That is the 38th.

Uh pick another one in 2 days?

You should still be able to do this up until the 23rd. The updates are supposed to be every 2 weeks. The stuff on the 16th is more like part 2 of the same update. This would be similar to how you could do the Dragon Bash stuff up until the patch on the 9th.

JustTrogdor.7892:

Absolutionis.9427:

You cannot “pick” a weapon skin once per day. You pick a skin now and can obtain unlimited quantities that chosen skin at a rate of once per day.

I’m out of the loop here. How does that work? Do you go some place to get more of the same one you picked?

Press H. Click on achievement tab. Select the skin. Click Withdraw as many times as you want depending on how many copies of the skin you want.

There is no restriction on how many you get per day. It is like the HoM stuff just more convenient since you can withdraw from anywhere.

Wolfheart.1938:

I think Zenith just wanted an excuse to open a thread about zenith weapons :P

Should have been complaining about everyone taking his/her stuff then!

It is still at 7 EST but it’s also at 8 EDT.

Ronah.2869:

They really need to look up games like Price of Persia, Assassin Creed, Ratchet and Clank, Tomb Rider and learn from them. Only in the ’80s you were seeing your character jumping like a dummy in its feet, all the rest use some grabbing to avoid near the edge jumping fails

Those actually seem to be intentionally designed that way. The best example being the last 3 jump pads in Not So Secret. They are all positioned at the limits of the vertical and horizontal range.

Raine.1394:

I think the guy behind the JP’s, forget his name at the moment, has done some amazing stuff with JP’s (and the SAB) in the game. He wakitten with a change in camera implementation at launch that made some JP’s less than ideal for some jumpers. I, myself, do not like platformers that much. But, I think we’re seeing it spotlighted because a lot of people do enjoy them.

Hopefully, they will find their place in this game, there to be enjoyed by those who enjoy them, but not center-stage as the genre is really not about platforming. I do respect the quality of the work done with the JP’s and think they are a great addition to the game.

“changed camera implementation” is not a valid excuse for content added yesterday, the game was launched months ago. Either make it work or stop adding things which are known to be at least partially broken.

Changed camera implementation is also not an excuse for excessive long travel distance to restart.

The controls are also extremely bad. Attempting to use Sun Break correctly doesn’t actually work. If I try activate it as I cross a waterfall I will just overshoot. I have to mash the button just to get it to activate in time. Maybe it’s lag but since this is an online game maybe they should have taken that into consideration.

akamon.2769:

go to Heart of the Mists, the battle grounds for s/tPvP, and then you should be able to click deposit all. since they are PvP items, you can’t deposit them if you’re anywhere BUT in the Mists. WvW doesn’t count.

You don’t need to be in Heart of the Mists to do that. I just did it from Mount Maelstrom.

The only give Quartz Crystals most of the time. Sometimes they have kite fortune. Seems to be character or account bound, once per day.

You can enter any home instance with any race. Finding the location to trigger the popup can be slightly tricky for that one. It might be easier to way some distance away and then try walking straight towards the door(so you are path is perpendicular to the door).
