Guild Wars 2

Exactly. And still have yet to update. Hours and hours later for the simplest fix.

Obviously some kind of game is being played to delay the shatterer wing covers being handed out, for whatever reason.

Not even gonna type anything else.

Is that runescape?

All of the new wave of mmos are being pushed out and instead of focusing on content that will be able to compete with them, we get temporary dragged out garbage like this that always ends up being bugged and unfulfilling. Good luck to Anet that’s for sure.
Boy do I miss GW1 right now.

Stephane Lo Presti.7258:

Hi everyone,

We’re aware of this behavior for the Dragon Bash meta-achievement and are looking into it. Thanks for your patience !

How are you still looking into it when you were notified of its existence hours and hours and hours ago? This is a simple fix that shouldve given all of us our wings, instead you chose to drag it out for whatever reason .What kind of game are you playing? I know your wings are lopsided, is your artist still trying to fix them?

yeah, the most anyone really needs is two sorts of builds, just a swap would be nice, then we could have a higher price to retrain traits, double what it is now or something. One for pvp one for pve

I do miss gw1 so very much. However the past is the past, and it is getting older with no more new content to enjoy but we can always pull ideas from it.

I frequent dungeons and wvw back and forth through the day because nothing can hold my attention for more than an hour or so at a time, and I find it a pain to have to remember exactly what traits I am using at any given time and swap back and forth. I understand the need for a small gold sink to retrain yourself, but it is just a minor pain, annoyance rather reslotting traits and putting points back in. Does anyone else think that we should possibly have a new feature that will allow us to save trait point templates so we can just load one up after we have asked for a retrain?

Also I have no idea where harpies magically get a giant ball of lightning from. It’s like a desperate way of trying to make platforming harder.

They go invulnerable because you reflect their projectiles from too far away. Solution? Don’t use reflects!

And where is this listed that this is one of their mechanics?

Anet, all your temporary content kittening sucks and serves as a lame way to create a veil that your game actually has meaningful endgame content. The only good thing you’ve put into the game since release is fractals, and even that isn’t right. Your harpies are impossible to pass, and they all go invulnerable constantly. You need to start worrying about the important things and not slapping little dragon pinatas for hours on end.

“We apologize for the first round of fireworks events being bugged. There is a new build that will go up in a moment fixing the previous issue regarding its starting time. To make up for the problem we have introduced a NEW item in the Black Lion Trading Company called the Superior Dragon Coffer! We have heard your cries in regards to the drop rate for the beautiful Jade skins so we wanted to do something special to show you that we appreciate all of our gamers! They now have double the chance to drop the weapon skin tickets inside them. Previously it was 0.0001%! Good luck and enjoy the festival!”

-Dev Tracker

Who knows, nothing is ever said outspoken so we all know what to expect. This is kittening sad. I doubt it has started, and I doubt it will start on overflows because something broke, inc patch notes to fix it, be back later in the evening or try to get in the main zone.

Actually, this isn’t bad at all. Adds something very unique to all legendaries to individualize all of us at the end of a long hard grind.

Sure we see a thousand twilights and sunrises, and it can be disheartening to see so many other people have the same thing that we’ve worked months to achieve, so why not have a little fun and name them random silly things!!

After all, legendaries are reknown for their legendary name that tells their tale, and considering each one of us has our own story, why shouldn’t we?

BaronSolace.6831:

It’s not a bug, since when have you ever seen a dragon with broken wings fly properly. it fits the item perfectly. the wings are broken and shattered to hell and back why WOULD they look even and move correctly

Not sure what to say about this LOL!
I can only guess he supports RNG boxes as well.

They are uneven on my human female mesmer too. They look alright, but you can tell one side is slightly higher.

Great, got my kitten beat down by them before I realized what you were trying to do. This is one of the worst updates. The event did not need any changing and coffer prices were already dropping like a rock, i’m not sure what you wanted other than to appease kiddies that whined about not being able to tag monsters. There’s a trick, there are so many unpopulated zones with holograms sitting EVERYWHERE, theres more than enough for everyone and because of the handful of braindead casuals farming gendarran fields with 10 other friends out for summer, you go and do this.

Both dragon ball titles don’t go toward the festival experience achievement, whether or not this is intended is left to be said officially, however, they clearly are a part of the event, so they SHOULD be included, also they are a couple of the more tedious achievements to accomplish, since it is hard to go against other players!

Why does everyone keep posting videos/pictures of gendarran? Isnt the fastest place to farm it, somewhere where its less populated? I made 15g/hr earlier today staying away from these zones….

PadmaN.7820:

My spvp character is dressed exactly the same as my pve/wvw one except it isn’t carrying a legendary…i don’t see a problem.
Maybe you should actually try spvp one day. Takes 1 day to get a nice suit.

“Hello everyone, I am here to post in hopes of self gratification. I myself, me, no one else, not the majority am dressed EXACTLY how I am in pvp. I don’t see a problem at all. After all, if i’m doing fine for myself, everyone should follow my lead and no one else matters. Hopefully in posting, I have brought attention to myself so that people believe I am very good at sPvP.”

I had been an avid spvper for awhile and I do have some nice things unlocked, some of which aren’t even avaliable on the pve side of things, and also have Eternity but seriously. Not everyone enjoys spvp but everyone CAN enjoy an event like this, so what is the problem with them looking pretty/festive/cool as they want to? I am so tired of the “You should try this, its not hard, it only takes (insert completely incorrect timeframe to finish).” talking down onto players. To top it off you have to mention a Legendary. Juvenile and annoying much? Your post has no relevance to the topic at hand other than crying for attention. Run along and consider yourself spanked. Please.

I think its a great idea. I dont think the devs thought about it really. Probably the arena gametype automatically equips us in such gear equal to what we have in sPvP so most of it was probably automatic. Maybe for future events they can take a look at changing the structure so that others can look cool

You should have an eternity, it takes seriously like 1 month to get and that’s all. Derrrr

Yes that thing is so beautiful. I think a lot of things for this event were pretty well designed. Impressed, I am. Definitely redeemed that southsun trainwreck.

… there’s no reason to be re-exploring the open world on an alt since it’s no fun and zones are all dead.

This is where your entire post breaks down. The assumptions that every zone is dead and that no one could conceivably enjoy single player / small-scale multi player are wrong.

Uhh, no, it isn’t. Because no one does unless its their first character. Also, you can still enjoy dead zones at level 80.

Via CoF p1. I know many of you are saying, well yeah you have to spend the money, but technically you don’t be cause dungeon is so broken.

All crafts cost about 60g total, running cof p1 grants about 4g/hour if you’re doing it leisurely. Meaning in 15-20 hours you can farm enough gold back, so unless you can level 1-80 in under 15-20 hours which is superhuman, there’s no reason to be re-exploring the open world on an alt since it’s no fun and zones are all dead. If you work your way up to level 10 at least, or 20, you can cut the costs of it dramatically by excluding one of the more expensive 10g+ professions out as well.

Yes it is stupid.
No it has nothing to do with “real life”
Yes they should fix it.
No it won’t happen, unfortunately this should’ve been addressed in beta and fixed but anet is lazy and there is no way they’ll ever get it done anymore.

80% of the maps in this game are a ghost town. Sad really.

From a high level open world perspective / Occasional WvW what weapon is the most valuable to a mesmers arsenal?

Getting very close to all the required materials for a legendary, minus a precursor and was wondering what I should make. I just made a mesmer and she is level 21 now but I am LOVING it already compared to warrior. Greatsword is my first love, but I don’t see it being too useful in high level pvp scenarios where I can really show off a legendary to other players. Would the best one be bolt?

If you think about it, these are even harder to come by than charged lodestones and the only reason they were so cheap at the start and why there was an influx of them was because the majority of the community was starting anew and leveling through the point that dropped these.

I don’t agree that the rarity of charged lodestones is correct, but what I am trying to say is that Doubloons are rarer than Lodestones and right now the price is too cheap imo. They should be a bit closer together, so I don’t see these going down anytime soon until theyre around 2-3g a piece. It sucks yes, I know, but everything is getting more scarce everyday. Heck, look at t6 mats and t6 Dust in particular.

They are BOTH hard to get, however at least most of us are at level 80 where we have more of a chance to see a lodestone vs a doubloon.

Jrunyon.3012:

So why are you still here? Just leave already.

Because i’m asking you a question, you white knight you.
I love gw2, I have so much fun in w3 and love my guildies to death but this is NOT something you can play for 8 straight hours a day.

Well, its about how gw2 farming/endgame sucks and is becoming more pointless by the day. I understand its optional, but when endgame is bland and main focus is obtaining a Legendary which is nearly 100% grind whether it’s grinding for mats or the gold to get it, well, I want a new game!

Hey all, as much as I hate starting over in a new game and grinding levels and new gear I feel as if i’m not achieving much in gw2 anymore anyways and I am already grinding for a legendary that i’ll never obtain a precursor for so why not just start a new game with more satisfying endgame pvp! I have been trying to farm t6 materials for awhile now and it’s getting repetitive and the most haunting thought is that even after everything is gathered I still don’t have the base sword to craft what I want to craft.

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Technic.5738:

Good things come to those who RNG

Well said. I completely agree!

A gimmick to promote the game. As in, hey we’re going to allow you to scale up and play with your friends, but this isnt truly the case, because you still get absolutely thrown down in half a second by mobs at your buddies high level.

This was one of their biggest selling points at initial release was the scaling down and up of levels and dynamic events. The odds of survival are hardly any different, I have been in cursed shore where you cannot scale, and SSC where you do scale and the rate and speed of death is equal. My gear as of my level is the best it can be but unfortunately the only number here scaled is HP, which is the wrong way to go about things and does not help the matter at hand. If you have 2 million HP but only enough defense to mitigate 1/10000th of it you will still fall in a second.

How much exp does this give? I really want to level my thief up a bit.

Unfortunately, I have played GW2 for so long even since beta and main’ed one character since release and played my warrior into the ground since he was all I ever needed to run dungeons/dragons etc. I usually am never an alt type of person and when I do I only stick to a few number maybe three at the MOST. I recently started my new character and am level 20 now and went to explore Southsun Cove….

Cool, I get scaled up so I can enjoy the event content even on my new character! Unfortunately, a bigger health pool means nothing when I still get killed in roughly 3 hits or less. In canach’s case, one single mine and I am dead meat. 9 times out of 10 I die so fast I don’t even have a chance to react to what hit me. I understand that the games mechanics differ greatly from other MMOs. I play a new thief, and while squishy, I do dodge very well, and have many mobility skills to help me evade attacks. I use all of my skills and dodges for the most important skills, but at some point you just cannot avoid being hit…. and I die.

I don’t really know why this is even in the game to be honest. It has really made no difference in my game, and has not prolonged my life or increased the quality of my gameplay whatsoever. I end up being even more frustrated than before. I get that my gear is crap because of my level, but again, there is no reason to scale hp if nothing is being fixed in terms of survivability. The “play with your friends, no matter what level” motto really seems silly at this point and I had not realized it until now when I actually WAS the low level friend. Now having an opportunity to experience it and think back to everything Anet had said in terms of all this makes this feel incredibly gimmicky. Maybe it is just me whining too hard. I really did try though, and I really do dodge well and stand back, but death has been pretty inevitable.

I feel as if something more needs to be done so lower level players can survive a bit better and actually ENJOY the content instead of being forced to play on a level even perfection can hardly achieve. The rewards are still the same, low level and scaled to your own, it’s not as if surviving and completing an event in such difficulty will reward someone with completely epic loot.

The difference between Canach from my warrior to my thief was a giant joke really. I would’ve really understood if the dungeon scaled to level and made it MORE DIFFICULT for my warrior, and eased it up a bit for my thief, but having it the way it is makes no sense. It’s alright for me since I am a veteran GW2 player and I have already completed it on a main character, so anything else is icing on the cake, but for players who have just gotten a chance to hop on the gw2 bandwagon and try to enjoy the SSC events? Oh boy, I feel very bad.

Currently it’s possible. Extremely hard, but shouldn’t require you to stand behind 40 other players and come in for a tag or two just because you want to try and enjoy some higher level content as a newbie.

Go on gw2lfg.com and look at the amount of balanced groups being built. There really is no disparity between the two types of teams. A mixed team is a bit slower due to the fact that you cannot stack might as easily but the run itself is relatively quick. The path is already short to begin with, there’s no rocket science here. And farming it a few minutes quicker is not going to grant you with thousands of gold. Even doing it the fastest possible you have to work VERY hard to afford anything and it really kills your brain. If you can stick to the farm for hours a day for a month more power to you….. I sure as hell can’t. This is coming from someone who mains a warrior.

Hi, I just bought the quiver since it was about to run out and it includes back straps to transmute them onto if you don’t currently have a back item. Since I am only level 14 I wanted to put them on that so I can use the skin for now, but am wondering if I can reuse the skin in the future when I get a fractals backpiece or something, is that possible to keep the skin forever and keep using it as long as I have the correct transmutation stone? Sorry if this question is stupid, 20g is a lot for me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. WTF

That would answer my question, thanks!

I had just gotten online to see patch notes etc, I just assumed it was up by now

After this most recent update, sept 25th I am having an issue to where my game will not launch.

Auto play is checked yet it will not go through, and the “play” button is greyed out. The game is updated.

Does anyone else have such an issue?

Maximilious.6054:

People are so lazy, trying to make a killer deal they end up screwing themselves. Why no just by the pieces one by one?

This is probably one of the most ignorant posts i’ve seen in awhile.
The box is as indicated, a SET of the berserkers draconic armor.

People in this thread have bought it for as low as 6 gold to an upwards of 17 gold. There is no reason to blame any of the purchasers for an error on Anet’s part, and by making such comment, are sympathizing with the horrible people exploiting this bug to make gold.

Are you blaming someone for assuming that buying in bulk would yield a slight discount? I find it funny how you probably would’ve fallen for this issue, but since you dodged the bullet you come into these forums spewing ignorance.

People who are looking to buy the entire set, and see that there is a box available with the entire thing inside are lazy? If this box had been working as intended I would have to say that those buyers are probably much more savvy than the random moronic idiot buying piece by piece. What do you think?

I was one of the first affected by this issue and I am absolutely shocked to see this is still an issue. This is getting absolutely ridiculous and out of hand, and the price is even higher now.

^ No one is saying that attacking with dual weapons simultaneously is a good idea whatsoever. The discussion here is that the animation should involve both weapons in an alternating fashion.

Just another old fart hanging around video game forums spewing his nonsensical intellect trying to prove to others he has the answer for everything due to his age old wisdom.

Next time you post, please think things through.

This is probably one of the mostkitten threads i’ve seen on this forum, which is unfortunate.

And some random newbs and kids who strolled by in the norn town who picked up more than a few karma weapons got the mega banhammer and had to be given a second chance…..sigh

How about removing the item completely from the TP and stopping it from happening again? I think we can all somewhat agree that compensation is going to be something to be thought over and maybe not possible, but really now, this is no ordinary bug, you should probably stop this from happening and then find a solution.

I understand why they did this, and it makes sense from a technical standpoint, but as users we all love fluid and visceral combat. We’re close to it currently, but when they only use one arm to designate which weapon theyre using, it just looks and feels funny.

I’ve no idea what kind of work would have to be done to utilize both hands for a simple attack animation but I know for now they have a lot more important things, still, I would love to see this on the bottom of a to do list maybe a year from now or at least when things straighten out.

There is no tunnel with multiple ori veins. There is an underground tunnel which spawns the event boss king along with a few mithril veins.

The ori nodes are far too spread out to make server swapping an even plausible solution to farm. Eventually server transfers will be restricted anyways.

Bump because I still find it ridiculous that this bug hasnt been fixed or taken off of the TP, im hardly worried about getting my gold back.

Like I said, if restoration isnt possible, at least bug fix the box already. This is simply pathetic.

Really thought Anet was above this but they’ve really fallen pretty low.

1st run of the day – 15 tears
Everything else – 5 tears

each chest will yield 5 no matter which run.

It’s one thing to reimburse people, its another to bug fix the item so this does not CONTINUE to happen, yet not a single word from any staff over this matter which has made me lose respect for Anet whom I used to regard very highly.

Not only have I played much less since the incident, I’ve already started talking to friends who were on the fence about getting it, not to.
