This is my guardian when she goes clubbing (second screenie) clubbing big bad monsters that is!
May I know what armors are you wearing?
Which one? I assume it’s the first one (most people ask me about that), it’s using arah legs and boots, pit fighter arms and chest, the shoulders and helmet I rarely put on so they’re not significant.
The other set is more of something to see how much skin I can reveal and I really liked the stockings. I think it’s a mix between gladiator chest with t2 human boots.. the leggings I can’t remember, it’s from a lower level blue item
The dodge dailies aren’t hard to complete at all.. if people get kittened off because you helped kill it a bit… that’s a bit unreasonable. I can easily do dodge dailies without even trying. Rez dailies are also easy.. theres plenty of people dying in the world, rumor says 20 people die every second but 25 are revived in that same second. (i’m kidding but you get my point, it’s not possible to grief players extensively by casually doing your own thing. Also, they should just ask nicely. e.g. one time when we had the combo kill daily still, I was trying to work out which combos work or not with my friend, and this guy came along and I explained to him nicely what I was doing and he understood and moved along. It’s not too hard, rather using anger and harsh tone makes that person feel much less obliged to cease.
I like the way people play warriors Squishy as kitten. Also, a lot of the skills of warrior only kinda shine in pve because they require you to stand still. Rather not practical in pvp if you’re not a tree.
I think you can’t put character names up in forum so might have to remove that. I sometimes get stuck in certain parts with endless loadings. I find that if I keep logging in on it, it’ll eventually kick me back out into the previous map.
It’s also possible to hide inside a wall if you’re inside as it respawns. There was one time I saw a mesmer inside our wall, I kept attacking him and he would attack me from inside the wall.
I have a thread on this called Dragon chest bugged, probably should just merge to one, keep it alive. But yeah, it’s still happening, basically if you see that you’re getting less event completion exp than usual, you won’t get a chest along with it too. Happens most often with shatterer and teq, less with jormag but still occurs. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s because dragon jormag has crystals before hand which give event completion which somehow “unbugs” whatever anet put in.
Oh interesting, I thought they said they specifically changed it so only each type drops between each of the fractal levels. This is saying otherwise hmm.
As for the authentication, I thought it says you can only have either one? either an email one or mobile, I wasn’t able to get both working? Either way I liked email more, always have different passwords for your email and game and it is highly recommended to use a fresh password. not a reharshed one from another game/forum/ account of watever.
The moment you see random verified china ips and being kicked out of your game is a huge indication of your account being compromised. I hope you changed your password in time and nothing happened.
Going by the mob of players in the screenshots, it’s possible you didn’t do enough damage to “contribute” towards killing the creature (hence no XP, no achivement credit.) Did you receive loot off the corpse?
I didn’t scroll up the combat log, but if I did you will see it was all hitting that one veteran mob, I’m pretty sure I dealt at least half the HP of that veteran mob, there was no loot or exp from them but I find it’s not uncommon for me to not get exp or loot from some of these event mobs, regardless if they were champions or vets (some of them do give exp while some don’t?)
I’ll try do a more accurate test later on with the same type of mob :o
Just tried it again and Jeffrey Vaughn seems to be right, I tagged it again properly this time and I got the credit for it. Though I also accidentally tagged a few other vet ice elementals as well so can’t be certain hmm..
A typical grant proposal at consist of roughly 10 pages. 1st page is an overview of the issue and problem related the field of research and it’s significance in layman’s term. page 2-5 is the part where you refer to your method and approach scientifically. Page 6-10 will be your CCW and references, for a one year project, I’d say a 20k gold grant would suffice as a starting point.
I like market manipulation because it doesn’t affect me and it’s interesting to see how much people are willing to pay for this overpriced piece of junk lol
Yes, those are today’s achievements. I’m not sure why the event veteran wouldn’t count… It had the veteran frame around its portrait, right?
Hi, there I got some proof to show you event veterans don’t count. In fact, I think all event veterans that don’t give exp don’t count? I don’t know why they don’t give EXP though…
Here are two good before and after pictures, I tagged that veteran wolf heaps and no exp and no count towards my daily. (it was 1/5 before, forgot to take a before screenie, I killed a jelly fish veteran in the water earlier, you might have to just trust me on that one!, I have 25 underwater kills so… ye)
I also experienced a lot of lag (i thought) then I realise it’s just because my 2nd utility wouldn’t work no matter how much I pressed it, the other 1 and 3 utility still worked fine and my weapon skills. After a lot of spamming it would suddenly work again. Then I got an Anet crash error, I didn’t send report because I had to hurry back on to retag all over again before jormag died.
I also had an invisible splendid chest the last days, so please check if it is just invisible.
The complaints are only regarding dragon chests, why should there be a difference to other final enemies on the maps? Anyone knows if this happens p.e. with the fire elemental in Metrica?
Maybe is culling the problem and not DR. Does culling affect the perception of a player nearby (from the view of a dragon)? I note this, because both Dragons affect the map to zoom out, but other enemies do also.
Some open informations about DR would be nice. Now I feel dumb, when I work on exploration and guide myself into DR.
I’m not the great loothunter, soloed some group events just to know if I could do it alone (even solo the loot isn’t worth it). Did one group event postpatch with a random stranger. He got nothing (died at 1% enemy health) and I got a blue item (Champion Risen Devourer). I explored to map before up to 60-65%.
In my cases they definitely were not there as there was nothing to interact with. It is very obvious to where a chest spawns during such an event as the other players mob it’s location.
In terms of other chests.. I have had no issues with the fire elemental or frozen maw chests.
Ofc I am only one account so that may be taken as a grain of salt.
Yea, the dragon chest is simply not there at all. There’s a difference between invisible chest and non existent chest, i.e spamming f gets us nothing.
Well generally, the attack one takes a lot longer. I haven’t encountered any chest bugs in orr anyways. The only bug I did get from grenth was invisible chest that was still openable.
Hmm outside of dragon chest I haven’t encountered this. Was this a defense against melandru or attack? because defending doesn’t give you chest but attacking does.
that makes me strongly suspect anet might have had their databased accessed. this is both annoying and worrisome.
In that case they would have made everyone change their passwords and not just people since september. Also, I think it’s by law they have to tell customers if their database has been breached?
What I don’t understand is, they know something is very broken here, and it seems like they’re going to take a long time to figure it out since they haven’t acknowledged a fix on this yet. So why not spare us however many potentially amount of days we going to be grieved and temporary remove this new downscaling or DR kitten? I imagine anet does have some kind of rollback mechanism for certain updates if it goes horribly wrong?
The funny thing is, I think it’s going to be at least another week if not more for a fix to be applied and no one is going to be compensated for the hundreds of items they’ve put effort in :/
I’ve been trying to get more notice of this topic because it is very real and it is getting worst. With each day, it is getting worst and worst for me (almost no chest after at least 10 total kills per day) and more and more people complaining about it. A lot of people can still get their chest but a lot of people can’t!
Just to add from something I read from another post, I feel this is very much like the lost karka issue since it is "ongoing" and it is becoming "very common".
They just need to add more skills and trait and it’ll be great. BUT, before all of that, they need to make sure everything right now, is working properly and as intended, if they don’t do that, then they’re just overshadowing a problem with a even larger problem.
Let me put it in a simple way that maybe everyone can understand. A bad player will always be a bad player, MF or not. A skilled player will always be a skilled player whether they are wearing MF or not. Most power base builds work well with MF armor/noble rune. Also, our secret “hot blooded” elite, allows us to do more damage in more risky environments yet come out unscathed. It’s all about morale.
Just want to update on the sound bug. It’s happening a lot more frequent since this update and whats worst is it seems within 5-10 minutes, I would get an anet error which would kick me out of the game. Obviously, in some situations I can restart the client because i’m in the middle of a battle/dungeon or DE event but this error just doesn’t give me a choice anymore.
Alright, to test if it was DR, I went to bed and woke up (8 hours) and saw that a dragon was up and killed teq, and guess what, nothing. I’m sorry i’m a bit mad about this but how could I still have DR if i didn’t play for 8 hours?
this may not be a bug with DR but something else maybe
it’s a dr bug because you only not get chest when you hit a specific dr tied to the dragon where your exp is less than what you should get.
No, I got the right amount of exp and karma and all that stuff. Just like my screenshot i posted on my other post. And considering I did not even go on for about 8 hours, I’m out of DR if i was even in it(which i probably wasn’t in at all). I think its a bug of the chest just not appearing, and a dr bug as well, meaning I think there is more then 1 problem related to not getting any chest after doing the event. and I say ‘may’ because how am i supposed to know what the problem actually is
No, look at your screenshot again, you got 12k exp from dragon chest. That is reduced exp already. You should be getting 17,780 exp from jormag in a normal situation. The DR bug varies, you can get as low as 723 exp and really random numbers like 4836 or more. Anyways, this is either a bug with the DR or a bug with their new downscaling system.
Then how come it seem after patch, only a minority group of people are hitting some random DR bug for dragon chest (no chest appears even though we get event completion but the exp is reduced so it’s obviously related to dr) while most players are still getting chest. It seems the people who aren’t getting chest are consistently not getting them too while people who were fine don’t get it. Feels like an account based issue to me hmm.
And no, we didn’t hit DR before we did dragon, it was literally the first thing we did for most of us, log on wait/kill a dragon, dr hit, chest doesn’t appear.
Though I don’t agree with saying high lvl dungeons are impossible now, I do agree anet seems to constantly rush things and implement changes which break a whole lot of other things. What happen to fine tuning and priority to existing bugs? Not create a whole bunch of even worst bugs to overshadow them but I guess that works too.
The % to get a precursor is roughly 50 exotic attempts. That means somewhere in the range of 180 exotics thrown in.
Whoops my bad I mean
So you threw roughly 30 ish GS + another few attempts which means you were about 10 or so more ajnd you might have got one

it’s a dr bug because you only not get chest when you hit a specific dr tied to the dragon where your exp is less than what you should get.
I for one don’t really mind DR, I mean it may be true that if they really wanted to be against botting then they should give higher rewards but a tighter DR, that way people can get good loot and move on. no harm caused, normal players get good loot and move on while botters get hit with DR.
The real problem is right now, we have clear evidence that DR is causing issues with the dragon chest to the extent it is not even spawning since the 28th Jan patch. This is clearly not working as intended and is grieving players every minute this bug exist. God knows all the hundreds of chest lost by players everyday. I for one have lost at least 10 chest. That’s like 60 or so potential items/precursors :o They should take immediate emergency action if something as broken as this happens. As I said before, else this is similar to lost karka, players putting effort in large DE but was stripped of their reward because of a bug that wasn’t their fault :/
always makes me laugh how people are apparently too manly and/or serious to be able to bear the presence of this bow.
Yup, the same thing happened at release with ppl complaining about mesmer and purple butterflies effects… it just didn’t suit their manly man aesthetics.
I also have a sneaking suspicion ppl complaining about it being “childish”..are probably 15-25 and desperate to prove how adult they are.
Not everyone in this world is secure about their sexuality I guess. I for one appreciate that Anet are not mindless drones in the background and can do some fun references once in awhile. e.g. angry chickens from zelda
Sounds like a reversal of before now. Before you guys were perma stealth now there is a way to hit u you stealth :o Btw, do you still take damage in aoes while stealth?
Thing is, this should not be the way DR operates, I am literally hitting DR by NOT doing anything. Seriously, the first thing I do once I get home from work is check dragon timer, login, make some food, kill a dragon and yup, no chest. Somehow not playing the game for a good 10 hours makes me hit DR?
I’m very saddened that this has not been fixed in the past 2 patches. If dr is the issue here, remove it temporarily! We don’t deserve to be punished for something that isn’t our fault. This is lost karka all over again, putting effort in a big DE which gave us no reward because of bugs.
Squishy as kitten. Also, a lot of the skills of warrior only kinda shine in pve because they require you to stand still. Rather not practical in pvp if you’re not a tree.
