Guild Wars 2

Apologies for double posting, but should i make this thread at the bugg section again perhaps?

So we got this puzzle today with the guild.
We got to the part with the broodmother and torches. We failed that event once, and the second time the broodmother (or the big drake) was just invulnerable and not moving.
Perhaps it has something to do with the teleporting (we got teleported out of that room because we failed the event).

The event lasts quite long so our time was up for a third try and failed our mission because of this.

The only reason to play atm is the achievement. No fun, even irritating and no decent reward. I just HATE IT that so much is gw2 is about numbers instead of skill, this dragon ball is just another zerg fest.
The best mini game dates from halloween, with the graveyard and pumpkings thing. That was ‘original’ and alot of fun. This just seems added to have at least some mini-game. This is niether fun nor challenging. Be creative, we’ve seen you can. Or there might be to much events and games, no more decent inspirition.
The more i play, the worse this game gets, this is realy the worst thing in game atm.

In a pvp match, the user interface top side of the screen, that shows the score and when you click it, brings up the window with personal scores. Now this is simply in front of the icons of help and PvP so can not click those. I always use the largest interface, probly why it’s behind it. Hope this belongs here and not in pvp section.

I realy agree hot-join should be changed, it’s just not fun atm. It’s the same every time. Run into a tank 1v1, get him to low hp after a while and hup, there are his teammates 3v1 killing you. I realize i have been saved in that way but still. I like spvp but the problem is you almost never get a fair fight (1v1, 2v2, …).
Making one objective instead of 3 would keep players together and would make it more fun imo. The bigest problem is the lack of gametypes, i realy hope the new one will be good, or i’ll never do hot-join again.
Also nice would be if a full team loses a member, some NPC takes his place till a new player comes.

I have that alot lately, very likely since the last patch. I have no idea what triggers it but the way posted here could be possible, i mostly have it in big groups. But i also had it in dungeons, don’t recal if i ressurected someone. And indeed the only way out is a leap skill, idk if teleport skills work. This is indeed a very annoying bug.

It’s logic they would do it during their work hours. But just that one date is wrong and has always been wrong last patches in 3/4 of the world, so they should announce it one day later or announce 2 days.
Patch early for everyone: happy, patch late means unhappy people who miss it this day, just a matter of the dates they announce.

I play hot join mostly and an occasional tournament. So i do not know nor care about high lvl spvp.
I just think the entire abilty stealth is to strong. I think the game is decently balanced overal and if i die by someone 1v1 it’s simply because they are better. One exception to that is thieves and stealth, they just seem to have endless stealth, they come out of stealth with an incredible amount of damage, and seconds later they are gone again for 10 seconds. I kinda like PvP in this game but one single class just makes me mad and close the game. I realy believe this game would be alot better of without stealth. But that surely wont happen, so they need to take a good look at stealth imo, but probably wil never happen, also a reason why casuals leave.

At first i thought mesmer and clones were OP, but imo that is a learn the class issue while thief can just be done nothing about.
I would love 1v1 tournaments but atm i feel like one or two classes would own them all.

I don’t know if something changed lately, but i’m having alot of problems on my Necro, seems ok on ele. Even when there are mobs in range, i target nothing for some reason.

This or the events trigger just needs to be adjusted, i had 2 events in about 1hour 30minutes. + one bugged in a lvl 1-15 area. What you see are group events here and there blocking something you need and with no way to get it. I’m gessing these also block normal events to start. Also, even if it’s a group event, why do mobs 1hit down you? thats just crazy and not my idea of fun.

I don’t get some people, first complain that achievements are just a side thing to do, but when they change it to make it easier, it’s suddenly important? Also, why do some people here hate the fact that we want to play this with friends? While both systems possible would be awesome.
Anyway, this topic was about partys to join, that would fix all other problems imo. I just have alot less fun playing this with a pug, while it is an awesome dungeon/event and i could do it all day with people from the Guild.

This is the 3rd event now in 3 months, so i can’t complain. But please, just make one event and make it complete 100% before making new half-finshed events. Everything is just so extremely rushed it’s getting embarassing.
I just want to play with my Guild in things like this, it would make it a million times more fun. I understand GW needs to adjust to being a whole MMO but stil.
And people who say this toypocalipse is easy, just got lucky because 50%chance someone drops out, or half doesn’t know what to do.
And btw the event runs until next year, that seems time enough to fix this?
And just a little remark about the actual toypocalipse: make it so people have time to discuss or check out what they can do, there is no time to talk.

The big jump seems to help, i realy don’t know how this bugg can suddenly appear. Why fix things if they work and just make it broken. I just don’t get Arenanet sometimes.

New reward for completing the puzzle today. Free teleport to LA. Completed it 3 times now, serious …
And yes, the JP is way to easy, looking forward to a real challenge from a jumpin puzzle.

The signet description says 25% increased movement speed now, but the passive icon of the skills says only 10%. I think it works at 25% though, hard to tell. So i gess it’s only the text that is wrong.

Waited for this mob for so long, all time counted together, it’s rediculous. It’s obviously bugged here at Far Shiverpeaks (for weeks, if not months) as all other bosses spawn in 3 hours or less, so should this (ok a litle more is possible but not this much). Same with swimming/diving goggles.
I love new content like events, but i realy think they need to focus more on buggfixing instead of making new bugged content each month.

Fully agree, i can’t image new players being attrackted by that kind of pvp. In hot-join there are some battles that start 1v1, but close to never ends in 1v1. I dont dont have a single clue why its 16ppl on a map for 10. Ok, if someone leaves a 8v8, it’s less noticable, but 6v6 would imo be way better. I just hate getting daily that way, i don’t play tournaments every day, so i do hot-join for it, but that’s more frustration than fun.
edit: apperently they are making 5v5 servers as well, but it might take long.

I wouldn’t mind buying gems with irl money, but i just think it’s not worth it at €1.25/100gems.

I’ve checked the discussion on wiki page, they say it might have to do with the damage you do to the boss. I’ll say what happened if i won’t miss it.
edit: it’s realy hard to find people to kill that Covington captain.
edit 2: i got the achievement, did the actual killing of the queen with less persons so i could do more damage. Gess that was it. Thread may be closed if you wish.

So this is about the achievement Kill the Hydra Queen in the bosses section. I waited at the right map and place, did the event and killed the queen. My clanmate got the achievement and i didn’t, while i had a gold medal on all pre-events and could open the chest.
So i tried waiting again, only did the last 2 events this time, but still nothing. Makes me think something is bugged in my account? No one else in the map seemed to have it.
I don’t want to wait for it again just so i can bugg again. Also, Shadow Behemoth seems still bugged on Far Shiverpeaks.

Would love to know the same, people have to work tomorrow. I don’t want to miss sleep for a blue item or miss a one time item. Please, for the working people.

So there is a puzzle in game that gives a chest and an achievement: The long way around. After i did the puzzle with the 6 pads, i looked if there was anything else behind that shield. But i found out there is simply a way around the shield.

If you want to go the chest, before the gate go left and up and you can reach it without doing the puzzle. I don’t know about the achievement, but this can’t be the intention can it? I also dont think it’s a way out, because if you touch the shield, you are teleported out.

Thanks for the reply.
1. I don’t think we did, i think we got 3 or 4 chests up to that part
2. No idea, it could be, because we ran toward the last part (cleared if afterward to try to fix but no effect)
3. Can’t remember
4. Yes, quite some few people left and some also changed character
5.I don’t know of any maintenance. There surely was not a new build for us. (it was from 23.00 to 4.00 at GMT +1)

So tonight i did Arah with some random people found on mapchat. Now, we did path 3 first, took some time, but we did ok. Then we went to path 4, had alot of problems doing everything. But we got further only to find out after 4 or 5 hours that the last part is bugged. The part where there is a bloodstone chard and you have to clear the area. Tried killing the npc, clearing mobs further on etc. This is just a huge dissapointement.

We found someone who finished this path and he said this should be the end so don’t think we did anything wrong. I realy like dungeons in GW2, for me they don’t need to be easy, but to find out you did 5hours for nothing is not my idea of fun. (same with SE)

Just some of my ideas and thougths.

Act 2 was imo by far the best. The clocktower was awesome, i would love seeing even harder jumpevents like this. The PvP of Rumble i realy like, but i could use a boost in the form of a (better) reward.
The mad king says event was just not as fun as in gw1. Most of his lines you hear, are also in the PvP and dungeon. I didn’t realy hear any jokes in the event, however i heard some while i suddenly saw him running around the mystic forge etc. Put those jokes in the event please, content is made to be seen imo. Also, 90% of the commands you actually need to do, i would love more tricky fake ones.

And the thing that i realy miss is some more rewards for everyone. I mean with this costumes or skins or weapons. The rare ones are nice to collect for sure, but not everyone will get that. A few ‘easy’ to get items would make this event more rememborable imo.

Also, the overflow system just seems unable to handle large amounts of people (the dungeon), hope this will be looked at, because i think this will happen with every popular event.

Bump.
Anyone can help with this please?

So i noticed this when i changed from windowed mode instead of fullscreen. On my hero panel on the achievements, there are tabs like Explorer and Slayer and such. When i click on one i get an error and the game quits and gives a fatal error message. Not every tab gives this problem though.
I asked someone in my guild to try this and he doesn’t have any problem.
I have AMD catalist 12.8 on a HD6800, could it be the card/driver?

Thank you.

I also realy would love a party search function. And i mean cross-server. I can already play dungeons with people on other servers so why shouldn’t i be able to seek there as well? If you play on workhours in midweek, it’s just impossible to find people.
Maybe a quick temporary solution is to be able to chat on other servers their map chat.
