Can y’all word it so that it’s a bit more clear about what the bug is? Might be easier for a developer to understand what you’re saying. If it has an unknown cause, that’s fine too.

I’m looking now for some Norn Light armor inspiration. Ever since the loss of Flamekissed, my elementalist Norn has been ignored. Inspiration, please!
Sadly I don’t have a light armored Norn but I see some running around with the cultural, not sure which tier and it’s tempting me to roll one.
The cultural one is nice, but I would definitely need to do a makeover. Right now she is using winged. I’ve been considering CoE chest or whispers chest and leggings… I’m not sure yet.

By the way, I’d like to make an aside, if someone would decide to color their loin cloth to something other than yellow or gold (or any pale color) I might change my mind about that particular armor set.

Not a fan of the ascended, but for the first time I prefer the Zodiac abomination. Human t3 heavy never strikes my fancy. (It looks like a dirty loin cloth to me)
:O
dirty loincloth
XD
Sorry, it’s just what I see. Lol
I like the color palette on the ascended, but I’m not a fan of how ascended armor looks. That’s probably one of the best dye jobs I’ve seen on it.
Zodiac abomination > Ascended > dirty loin cloth

To be fair, Conski, if any of those exotics were cavalier armor or weapons, those insignias and inscriptions are worth a fair amount. There’s a good income for you!
Please don’t change Maw, I love it, it’s a gift after dredge.

Sounds good! Finally got my human Mesmer to 80 this morning so I will be working on more human styles (though my Mesmer is going to have one sailor Jupiter outfit and one more angelic to go with the halo).

Arah P1 – if the NPC is dead at the time and you either use a portal from a mesmer to leave the area or stealth, the two vile oozes that Ancient Ooze split into will despawn.
Arah P1 – Korga frequently gets stuck in the walls during fights after he rushes.
Arah P1 – There is a hole on the wall that any player can clearly see when passing Korga (right around the corner, against the left-side on the passageway) that a player can walk into and fall into and pretty much just walk underneath the map. It’s pathetic and depressing to see all of these unused textures we’re rendering each time the instance is loaded.
Arah P1 (P3 and P4 too if you exploit into the area I guess) – Berserker Abomination is invisible and still attackable at the point where he spawns. Not a big deal but kind of stupid to just attack an invisible object to stack adrenaline.
Arah P2 – Belka (first boss) will stop teleporting if you immediately run to the entrance behind the bone wall, resulting in her resetting to her original location. Upon running back, she will launch an electric bomb that automatically hits you unless you evade, despite how far away you are from the AoE ring.
Arah P2 – Alphard – mesmers, thieves and elementalists can blink up onto a ledge and jump onto a fabric where they are able to safely range Alphard from a distance. Anyone else is able to be ported up there where they can use an ember consumable. After spawning the ember, attacking Alphard from this spot and walking back 1-2 steps results in the ember taking aggro. The ember is out of Alphard’s line of sight and every attack on it will result in “invulnerable.”
Arah P2 – Alphard – The same climbable mushroom-like object can be used to safespot Alphard with melee. If you engage the fight with Alphard by attacking with ranged and quickly run behind said object, you will be able to melee Alphard by quickly stepping back onto a small sand hill next to you once he gets close enough. He will then be trapped underneath the object and every shot of his will be obstructed, effectively enabling one to safespot him.
Arah P2 – Northeast barrier at Alphard; if you run up all the way to the corner during one of Alphard’s daggerstorm, you will be able to go OOC and disengage in combat with Alphard but her HP will not reset. Barriers will respawn and all currently alive clones will instantly disappear.
Arah P2 – If you set a mortar turret consumable up outside of the dome facing Brie, she will stare at the turret until it is killed by the mobs, enabling a player to freely attack Brie until the mortar is destroyed.
Arah P2 – If you stand outside of 1200 range at Brie after engaging in combat but without fully running to go OOC, she will stare at you without attacking. This isn’t much of a bug, but it indicates that she evidently needs an increased attack range or needs to be able to move around inside of the dome.
Arah P3 – If you stand at the door right when the path is starting before crusher+hunter (you wait until you’re about to reach the door where the mobs spawn before clicking on the path), you will be able to pass through the door at the same instant the four elite guards are spawned and effectively skip them.
Arah P3 – If Warden Ilyra dies after the cutscene succeeding the Lupicus fight (she often gets killed by the risen spiders) at the chicken cage, she will get bugged when you revive her. You have to revive her for the Passage Waypoint to appear and start the ending cutscene with the ritual + wraithlord fight. The only way to fix the bug and get her to stop standing there is to lure the spiders over and attack them right next to her. She will then start engaging in combat with them and you can proceed to the end.
Arah P4 – Simin, the high priestess of Dwayna, is still capable of bugging by LOSing behind a rock near the east wall resulting in her freezing up like a statue; unresponsive to any attacks, she will not attack anyone or go into hiding allowing players to freely DPS her out provided she gets in this state.
Arah P4 – The bloodstone shard doesn’t reset to full HP even when all players are far out of its range. As long as the player who hosted doesn’t go OOC, it will remain at low hp forever.
Arah (all paths, Lupicus fight) – if Lupicus touches one of the unopened exit doorways, he fully resets… in the middle of the fight.

30. TA forward: a terrain exploit can be used to skip a portion of mobs. This is so common that it is easier to avoid this path altogether than to convince PUGs to do a proper run.
31. TA up: Fyonna may sometimes bug and not turn red. Can be “fixed” by relocating the whole party a bit back to the spider cave, and then down to Fyonna to retrigger the dialogue.
32. CM p2: final boss can be bugged to stay in place and not move around.
33. CM: fire turrets can attack players through walls; and the other way round, players can attack turrets and mobs through walls. AFAIK this is an old and game-wide issue, but thin walls and small rooms of CM make it very noticeable.

Hey guys. I’d like to start a little community initiative which we can easily show to Danicia when she gathers feedback and such to bring back to developers. Please post your bugs and issues here, and i will update this post. I’ll start:
Dungeon runes are soulbound on acquire, even ones that drop from the forge
Twilight Arbor dungeon light mantle clips badly with long hair
LFG merge button will destroy an instance, if someone from outside the party clicks it.
SE explorable mode. Mainly effects path 3. Floor is missing which breaks patrol route of one group of dredge. Also forces the group to go a longer route to reach the first boss.
All dungeons. Spiders and other mobs which start off as green and/or drop down from the roof when approached are all visible from instance start now. Examples are TA spiders and malrona in malronas cave. The 6 archers in TA forward path. All spiders in arah.
Arah and COE broken waypoints
Volcanic fractal. Still has a broken camera on the final boss fight.
The crystal bug in CoE where a player gets crystalized by Subject Alpha, his team breaks the crystal, but the player remains paralyzed for 15 secs or more anyway.
The many exploits in Arah. Teleporting underwater. Becoming phase-shifted when not supposed to (“god mode”). Skipping Lupi. Etc.
NPC’s bugging. NPC’s aggroing enemies when they’re not supposed to. NPC’s not following the right player. NPC’s being stupid in general.
For AC path 3 the final boss can be killed. But no end reward is recieved. The daily bonus chest appears on boss kill. But the final cutscene doesnt trigger and the xp, 20 tokens and silver end reward doesnt appear. Essentially the path doesnt finish despite all objectives being complete and the daily bonus reward being received. Unconfirmed cause (possibly due to fast kill).
AC P3, after the burrow event in the room with Grast, Tzark sometimes bugs and doesn’t start his sequence. The dungeon thus can’t be completed, as the hole doesn’t open for us to get to the endboss.
Arah P4, the NPC that transforms into the risen avatar of Lyssa bugs out more than often and doesn’t start her sequence, leading to the boss not appearing. The dungeon can’t be completed under this conditon.
CM Path 1, Frost can still be exploited, in pure safety.
Arah Path 1, Ancient Ooze can still be exploited, in pure safety.
AC Path 2, occasionally the Charr NPC (who’s name I do not know) will not trigger the trap event and follow a random player. The Ascalonian Captain does not spawn.
COE paths 1/2/3, players are still able to fight Subject Alpha before a path has been selected.
SE p3 – first boss can be exploited
Arah path 2: occasionally Belka does not activate, forcing a restart of the instance.
arah p3 – Wraithlord Mage Crusher can be exploited
AC P1 has trouble with Hodgins before the ‘scepter hunt’. He occasionally requires members to WP back to center to reset him and trigger the ‘scepter hunt’.
Cof path 2 when Maggie doesn’t start his dialogue when people find the rock
When your weapon swap is on cooldown and you enter a cutscene, your weapon swap will bug and you will not be able to swap weapons until you have done so manually by opening the hero window and pressing the arrows.
Sometimes when you swap in a skill that you also have in your underwater skills, it will have the same cooldown as one of the skills already on your bar. (e.g. my Banner of Discipline is on 100 seconds cooldown, I swap in Signet of Fury and it is now also on 100 seconds cooldown.)
AC p2: Detha can bug at the first event with the spike traps (not sure how).
Arah p3: the NPC can bug and not trigger the cutscene before the ritual starts (not talking about her dying next to the chicken cage). She will be standing in the middle of the Altar with the chicken in her hand but not trigger the cutscene and she will start following nearby players when you get to her.
HoTW p1: You can safespot the boss on the stairs (not sure what he is called).
CM p1: I’m not sure if it’s a bug, but the NPC will often not come to you when you spam interact on one of the items you have to destroy as the first objective of the path. I have once been spamming interact for ~30 seconds and she still didn’t come.
SE p3: The conversation between the champion and silver dredge (before the destroyer) will often not trigger and they will become agressive right away.
Let me know of anything else. Also, if you are reading this, Danicia, could you let me/us know which numbers you have noted and taken back (or refuse to take back to devs, if that’s the case) so we can stop talking about them?
Devs: if you need more information on an exploit please post a request for a PM. We do not want to post specifics on the public forum.
Thank you all!

I’m with Purple Miku, but I personally would love the box because the skin is gorgeous.
Anyway, the reason it’s bad is because it’s the least offensive of everything (except maybe settlers) and for pve, at least, non dps serves literally no purpose.
Anyway, congratulations! A beautiful skin.
Edit: I’d also like to add that in terms of DPS an exotic Knight’s weapon (not even berserker) probably adds more valuable stats (dps wise) than the ascended cleric weapon. Food for thought!

My server has it’s share of trolls but is generally friendly and answers questions without trolling. I don’t quite know how FSP really is, but i know the server I used to be on was toxic, trolly, and unhelpful. When I transferred, it was a breath of fresh air, and it was like my guild wars 2 “life” had started over. It really gave me more drive to play.

I agree with Romo wholeheartedly. It’s the same thing with the other things a bunch of people say should be gotten rid of. Right now we have options. Getting rid of rolling, of stacking, of skipping, of this and that, is getting rid of options. Why do we want to get rid of options?
I don’t always roll swamp. I really love the uncategorized fractal, for instance. I feel like I get rewarded for doing it. But if I only have a couple hours on the game, I roll for swamp. That option actually improves fractals for me. It gives me the option to run what I feel like seeing or what i have time for.
What I’d like to see evolved for fractals is actually the party system. I’d like to see options for fractals to have more than 5, less than 5, and unique parties to take over the mists. I’d like to see new fractals with NPCs from GW1 or give the option of heroes.

I have bag full of junk. So it’s highly likely that they will stay.
So far the only Living Story item that has been destroyed is the golem summoner from the last Halloween. Using it after halloween just deletes it.
I wish they did the same to all these items with no purpose. So I can know they have no use by double clicking them. I’m not deleting them otherwise.
I agree actually.
I feel bad if I have to destroy something. like it “might” be useful for something sometime XD.
It would be nice if at the end of an event, they gave everything a vendor value, so you gain something from them ):
I don’t agree. I keep stuff purposely as keepsakes. Going from Flame&Frost trophies to tri-color and cypher keys. The usable items are not for use. ^^
/sane
But I don’t expect blade shards (or anything else much) to just disappear. I’m half expecting them to stay available in some form but this is just guessing. I wanted several thousands to slowly (over months/years since I don’t even have maxed crafts and I refuse to buy stuff from TP) create the backpieces. My only problem is that I can’t get enough of them if they aren’t available after the patch. ;_;
LOL … keep it to just look pretty in your bag? :P
I have 1500 shards as is, I hope they bring it in as a new collectable/crafting item, and allow trade/sell. I hate all this account bound stuff.
But if they don’t getting enough shards to make the back piece for character shouldn’t be hard. And why make more than one back piece? there will be others brought in that you’ll likely want anyway.
At the moment I don’t think it’s about the skin, it’s about the fact that it is very nearly the cheapest back piece available for the stats (especially the exotic)
Exactly. I don’t like the skin at all, at least not for any of my characters, but I’m making one for all of them because I can define the stats. Also, if another skin shows up later that I like more I can always transmute it.
Unfortunately I need 425 Blade Shards per character and I have 11 characters. I’m only a few characters behind though, so that’s not bad.
I’m sure blade shards will still be dropping after tomorrow, too, because of that new boss they showed us. I have 1600 blade shards saved (500 reserved for ascending my second back piece, 425 for a third exotic, and the rest for the special color for one of the ascended). I like the skin, of course, but right, that isn’t actually why I’m getting them.

I like that the male armor is a little feminine, because it means my Asura would get a cute dress, but it might be a little too feminine for male casters, one thing I can’t find is good male caster armor, my favorite is actually starter. Kind of sad!
Anyway, I do like the theme!

I think I once saw a post from Gaile Gray saying that this kind of button would most likely never be implemented. I don’t know how serious she was, but she explained that even in gw1 she had to click such and such thousands of times in order to get some title she wanted.
It’s also possible that gw2 has a contract with mouse makers

Since I don’t pvp and will likely never pvp, the boosters never got used and regardless of the fact they gave notice, they still took up that reward slot in the black lion chests that I paid real money for. I think that’s what makes me upset about it
Regardless, it would have been nice if we could forge them into other boosters or something like that, because I do, in fact, use every other booster I get (I don’t hoard, I just don’t pvp)

For the pvp boosters, it’s unfortunate to me because they took up a slot in the black lion chests, so because I got these rewards I will never use and will be essentially removed from the game, those 110 boosters I have are 110 rewards I didn’t get because they were in the chests.
For the fractal reset, I’m still upset about it, so yeah, idk.

Just a quick note to let you know i am up to date.
I am assuming that you all feel that for example a Dredge rework is higher priority than say a rework to rolling?
Chris
Dredge and rewards.
The people crying about rerolling are like the people crying about skipping trash mobs. It has absolutely 0 effect on them but they want others to play the way they want. If you don’t like rolling than just don’t do it.
100% agree. I don’t understand why it even came up in the first place.
