Guild Wars 2

Same issue happens on the new Radiant Mantle.

Thanks Carlos… Just noticed that thread as well. Will add to it.

The Radiant Vambraces and the Juggernaut causes my hands to disappear. Same issue with Juggernaut and the Radiant Mantle. It causes a huge chunk out of the shoulders to disappear. It seems that all of the white parts disappear when the Juggernaut effect is active.

Here is the link to the other forum post I have going:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Radiant-gloves-Juggernaut-no-hands-O/first#post2453003

I believe I heard that hellfire has the same issue but not certain on that as I cannot test it because I picked Radiant. Don’t quote me on that as I believe I read it somewhere and cannot remember where and I have no direct link to the source…

Adding screenshot

Help! I equipped the new Radiant gloves and when I use juggernaut… my hands disappear!!!!! How can I effectively use my hammer when I have no hands? Help me Anet, you’re my only hope….

Fyi this is still broken. My guild was working on a guild trek location (Ideation Leap) that required us to go here… We failed the trek as a result. Happened just now.

I’d like to see them combine the meditation traits like they did for the warrior adrenaline traits. Glacial Heart definitely needs a rework as mentioned. I’d also like a damage modifier for hammer somewhere.

I’d also like a good 30pt trait skill for zeal… Something that makes it worth going down that line. Also, I’d like something better for Virtues also in the 30pt area…

Free of Fate is a casual guild that has been on Sanctum of Rall since launch. We are a guild with only one restriction and that is you must be over the age of 18. This is more for maturity level than anything else. We are a PvX guild but we tend to focus on PvE with the occasional runs in WvWvW.

Some guilds turn the game into a second job. Free of Fate does the opposite. Nothing we do is considered mandatory. We don’t make you do anything. We don’t kick (and don’t intend to) for inactivity. You don’t stop being friends with someone just because you haven’t talked to them in awhile, right?

We never intend to be a large guild and would like to create a friendly, cozy atmosphere. We have around 8-15 casually active members with peak times usually on nights and weekends. We are based in US CT with members in ET as well.
We are currently recruiting to refill our ranks.

We mostly use TeamSpeak 3 as a means to communicate.

We are friendly and helpful to new players.

We run guild missions at 10pm CT/11 pm ET on Saturdays and have no problems with people joining just for missions.

Perks:
Teamspeak 3
Guild Bank
Guild Armor/Weapons
Guild Missions!! We have all but Puzzles now!
Monthly Karma Boosts
No representation requirements!

To sign up, go to FreeOfFate.enjin.com or hit me up in game. IGN is Kyne.

We’ve gotten 2 new members so far! I’d like some more! Come and look us up!

State of the union:
I am currently trying to rebuild my active player base as I have not heard from some in awhile. We currently have around 8-10 casually active players and the rest are inactive. Our highest concurrency is on the weekends.

We are very easy going and do not mind if you are a member of multiple guilds and we require nothing. We have an 18+ age rule but that is really only for maturity level.

I do not want my guild to become a large guild. I would prefer it to be a tightly knit community. The people in the guild are mature, friendly, fun and helpful.

If you are interested in joining, feel free to send me a mail or whisper in game. You can also apply on our website. I don’t check these forums here that often so if you send a PM here it may go unnoticed for awhile (I’ll try to get better at this XD ).

Reposting as it has been awhile. We seem to be the most active on the weekends and we currently run a WvW event on Sundays at 5pm CT (6pm ET)

I’ll repost the thing I wrote on reddit ^^:

Brilliant! Just a question though – instead of using a merchant, why not just use the same exact tabs as in PvP Locker? Once you unlock and place a skin there, you can pick it up as many times as you want (that would eliminate the need to go to Hall of Monumnents as well, which would be convenient – no need to keep the stone and would make instant bankers a tiny tiny bit more useful)

There is no form of currency tied to those and I think the available skins might be different (and there might be more) in PvE. Although if you read my above conversation with the OP we pretty much agree that a new interface would need to be implemented. It could end up looking very similar to the PvP locker.

I’m not sure exactly how they have the HoM configured but I would think that there would have to be some flags or a variable associated with the account for each level of HoM you achieved on your character. The HoM vendor then sells those particular items.

The easiest way to do your idea then would be to create a list of all weapon skins and have the vendor sell them. But if you did it that way it would be hard to distinguish what that person already has and its not clean. Then you would have to have a variable of whether or not that skin (and all others) has been obtained. The HoM vendor is not the same thing and this would require some implementation either way.

You are right, my method is not 100% free and easy to implement. It would still take some time. I don’t know what their code looks like, but it shouldn’t be hard to simply have a flag for each set to know whether that character has unlocked it yet.

It’s still more simple than designing a brand new interface and/or a new method of interaction to swap skins on an item I would think.

Either way, I’d be happy with pretty much any implementation that lets me save and store skins for repeated use.

An interface is easy though… its the stuff behind the scenes that’s more likely to have complications. Anet will take its time with whatever method they think is best anyways regardless of simplicity. They really just need to know that the desire/need is there. Either way though, it will probably be awhile before we see anything along these lines.

Great idea though.

Good idea but… How about a slight variation? Like a Skin bank?

You could go to the banker and choose to either deposit the weapon/armor turning it in to a skin-only or trade it with one already in the bank. You could make it use one of the in place currencies such as karma or even make the currency transmutation stones. This gets rid of the need for the skin extractor and simplifies it a bit.

XiaMae.9874:

I find the idea of posting the odds problematic. If they said it was 1/10, people would buy 10 keys and be upset when they still don’t win. It’s like flipping a coin; 50% chance of getting heads or tails, but it’s still possible to get one or the other twice in a row.

People are going to complain either way but I think it would deter some people.

XiaMae.9874:

I have mixed feelings on this issue, honestly. I think many of us are very familiar with holiday-themed “chance boxes”, and either spend money on them with no high expectation of receiving rare items, or do not spend money on them, knowing that the chances are very slim.

But for those who are not familiar with these kinds of things, I can see why they would feel “robbed” in a sense, knowing they essentially spent money on regular BLC rewards or uncommon Halloween crafting items, i.e., spent money on something they normally wouldn’t.

For those who knew the odds, didn’t get anything, and are using the “I gave you a lot of money” argument, yes, I would call that entitlement. For those who honestly didn’t know and feel deceived, I would not call that entitlement. It’s entirely possible that ANet just assumed everyone was familiar with the odds of chance boxes from playing other MMOs.

The one’s that don’t know aren’t completely innocent either. They could have used discretion and waited until other people figured out the drop rates. Or they could have bought only a handful of keys to test it. I find it hard to believe that someone would go out and buy 200 keys and not know the odds are low. I guess its possible that they could have bought the keys in sets of 5 but I think I would have caught on well before 200.

But again, I think Anet should have been more precise on their wording. “Chance” is a bit vague.

CalvinHobbes.3541:

People can throw around whatever words they wish. If they choose to see others as entitled then more power to them. But if A-Net couldn’t foresee whats taking place as a result of turning holiday events into a horn tooting event then they need better planning. I’m positive that even Stevie Wonder could have seen this mess happening when ultra rare items become a part of a holiday event. Ultra rare items don’t need to be a part of a holiday event. And I laugh at those that only like an item if it’s rare. You know the ones…“I don’t want something that everyone has.” Those ones. My father saw the Halloween bow and loved it purely because of the aesthetic of it. He could care less about rarity or any of that vanity nonsense. He was all excited to get one, until I informed him that what he was looking at was merely a preview of a much more expensive permanent version. Needless to say, finding that out soured his view of the holiday event. He’s not ranting and raving about not getting a bow, he’s just not participating in the holiday.

What I think Anet would really like to know though is what would it take to get him playing again? What kind of rewards would we like to see? Would it be acceptable to him if there are more and less intricate skins with some being harder to obtain?

The problem is Anet needs to balance the needs of the “hardcore gamer” (i hate that term) vs the “casual gamer” (this one too). They need to allow the hardcore gamers to have a chance at the carrot while not leaving the casual gamers with a feeling of being left out. Its a lot easier to say than to fix though. Anet has their hands full.

Yes the problem of the negative portrayal of the word “entitled” is the difference between denotation and connotation. Being “entitled” isnt necessarily a bad thing but the word itself is more often used in negative situations and because of this it gets construed in an unfavorable light. Just like the word “consequence”. A consequence isn’t always bad.

Now this is going into the definition of complain

Complaining is different from providing constructive criticism

I said I didn’t want to argue about definitions and now it seems like thats what Im doing… QQ

TwoSwords.4687:

Honestly not at first glance, but it seems to contradict itself, you state that the percentages should probably be made available, yet with that key piece of information missing you still feel that to provide negative feedback makes you a player who believes they are entitled.

I think you are jumping to conclusions about what I said… I was arguing about the definition of the word entitled. I never said that providing negative feed back makes you entitled. I only said that the feedback should be constructive.

Kyle.3856:

To pay money for a chance at something and complain because you didn’t get it IS entitlement.

Do you realize how ambiguous the word “chance” is?

99% is a chance, .01% is a chance also.

Did you read the rest of my post? :P

To pay money for a chance at something and complain because you didn’t get it IS entitlement.

Anyway, (I don’t really want to argue about the definition of a word) I disagree with some of the sentiments of the OP but I do agree that the chests could have been handled better and overall communication could have been better. If they communicated the odds of the chests and what they received ahead of time better, the people who bought them wouldn’t be complaining so much. I personally don’t really care about the halloween skins as they don’t really fit my aesthetic but I bought 5 keys to try my hand. I got 2 black lion salvage kits, some repair canisters and some boosters. All of which are good.

But I digress, what I really thought was best about the OP’s post was the subject on making suggestions as to what the players would like in the black lion chests. I’ve seen far too many posts about people crying and people shaking their heads at them. Constructive criticism is what they need and they need it in an intelligent format. I think we should turn this thread in that direction.

What I would have liked to see in the BLCs would have been town clothes. If they could make simpler skins for town clothes with higher drop rates and more intricate ones with lower drop rates, I would love to see them in there. Intricate weapon skins seem to be popular so I would leave them as a rare drop. I really don’t have any decent skins for those. I need backpack skins too I’m a heavy armored guardian… I don’t want a book or a leather backpack!!

I would also like to reiterate that the drop rates for the BLC chests should probably be made available somewhere. It’s not as big a deal with the mystic forge but with BLC chests people could be/are spending real money.

Another suggestion, why not make the Mad king chests directly purchasable on the BLTC? No different than purchasing the keys and people could guarantee that they are getting halloween related goodies.

Its the first GW2 holiday so… It’s a surprise! :P

Only Anet knows and they are probably not going to give you more information. I did see in one of the halloween posts about the Mad Memories book backpack not being the only reward for completing an act though. It was in one of the threads about transmuting the book. You should definitely complete the scavenger hunt that starts by the fountain in LA though… end reward is the aforementioned book-pack. Act 2 should start sometime tomorrow.

Hello,

I am posting on behalf of a friend that had his account hacked. He said it has been over a week now and he is still unable to login. He was able to take back his account using an NCsoft trick that I found on reddit but he cannot login as it says his account was terminated due to hacking. He replied to the incident ticket telling them this but he hasn’t heard back.

His incident ticket is 120906-000873?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Not sure if this is the same thing but I had this problem… temporarily. I found out though that you can only hold so many letters at a time. Try deleting some letters you have already received. I keep my inbox cleared now

Hello, I am Kyle the guild leader of Free of Fate.

Free of Fate was originally a small guild from Guild Wars 1 (only 3 original members!!). However, with the nature of Guild Wars 2 in mind, we decided to expand and advertise over the beta weekends. We are now currently a guild of about 30 members.

In MMOs, guilds can offer quite a few advantages. They give you people to play with and make it easier to accomplish things. However, some guilds have a tendency to make the game into another job. I already have one of those!! I don’t need another! Gaming is supposed to be for fun!

This is how we differ… Nothing is mandatory.

In some guilds, you can get kicked out if you are not “of appropriate level” or you didn’t participate enough. I’m not going to do that with our guild. I realize that people have full time jobs and (dare I say it) lives outside of the game and a guild should NEVER take priority over your life.

Basically, I want you to play with us because you enjoy playing with us!

Here are some other great reasons to join up with us.
1) Do you have a small group of friends that you want to play with but don’t want to worry about establishing a guild or joining one with heavy restrictions?
2) Are you a solo player and would like the benefits of a guild without the hassle?
3) Everyone can invite new members but I ask that you use discretion with invites.

Guild Benefits:
We have a website and forums.
We have a 500 man TeamSpeak 3 set up for all your voice chatting needs.
We currently have our Guild Emblem, Guild Stash (bank), Guild Treasure Trove, (bank 2), Guild Armorer, Guild Weaponsmith.
