Guild Wars 2

Mmm. Thanks then. The wiki needs a little update in this case.

Sandrell.2309:

I completed “you back in the box” and it popped up 2 Candy Corn Cobs as reward, but they were not in my inventory. Under Festivals Blood and Madness it shows I completed it and that I have received the award. So what now??

They are a deposit-able material, so maybe you sent them to your bank accidentally, check it out.

As far as I know, the first completion of the “You, Back in the Box” achievement, you are supposed to be rewarded with the mentioned item.

Unfortunately, after I finished the instance just a few minutes ago, the pop-up reward tab that shows up after the completed event was empty, with just the logo and the “accept” button.

Did something change with the rewards or we just we have a case of bugs, bugs everywhere?

Edit: and as Sandrell mentions I did recieved 2 cobs.

How come human females can’t have the new pretty dapper tuxedo?

Um. Bump. The Halloween outfit’s great, but yeah.

Gaile Gray.6029:

You’re right, tenklo and AP. These outfits were extremely popular in Guild Wars, and they were much requested as additions for Guild Wars 2. I understand what you’ve said, Lady Grimm, but I think as a matter of fulfilling the request -- and for a sort of "cultural integrity" -- it’s good that it was recreated as it was.

(And yes, I happen to be amongst those who love this set. )

People preferred this one over Lunatic Court finery? Ravenheart? Agent of Balthazar?

*sobs*

(I like having at least one GW1 costume in GW2, but it still leaves a certain feeling of insufficiency)

Spyritdragon.6048:

I think it’s sheer complexity of them. Armours are designed to be split-able between certain areas, but outfits are meant to be whole, or in other words:

Designing outfits with interchangeable parts would be no different than a new suit of armour – which I think outfits are meant to be not. And I think outfits are easier to make, since you don’t have to plan how to make them work with other skins.

Sorry for my awful wording.

All genders, races and classes.

Since it’s impossible to obtain the rest of the Guild Defender’s parts now (correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m only a PvE player), I suggest to adjust the textures so that they would fit to Banded set.

I only have the chest-piece unlocked via guild armourer (which is now the only way to get it), but as far as I remember, Guild Defender dyed differently than the Banded – some colours seem warmer, some more washed out.

Also, the legs had slightly different design to Banded (different, square tabard shape, and slightly more awkward bulkier shape in general, also for the shoulders) – but I think adjusting the textures alone would be great for those who have different parts of both sets unlocked.

Olvendred.3027:

+1 to OP. Definitely something that would be good.

Also +1 to the person wanting fewer skimpy female sets.

Perhaps if all the new armour sets (you know. the ‘new armour sets’) were skimpy for males, but covered-up for females, it would offset the current imbalance.

+1 from me too.

I’m not against sexualized designs unless they’re sexualized for both genders. Problem is, skimpy female armour is simply to be ogled on and skimpy male armour just makes males more heroic. In my opinion, “sexy male armour” just doesn’t exist.

On the example of my “favourite” Phalanx armour (which I wear on both fem asura and fem human guardians) – I just think that male variant is far more superior and cool and I’d like to see it for female human/sylvari/norn too.

I also miss my Dapper Tuxedo. Also posting this again before this topic will be closed and removed like all the others.

I’m still for the return of all of the dangle earrings. Yeah, GW1 skins would look great in the new engine.

1k fem ele luxon is my absolute fav.

I once met this caster person in LA and almost cried seeing how her wear resembled the all the rage kurzick armor mix for the ritualist. Never whisped her though

Flux Capacitor and jnfinley.: yep. I reported both issues, um, in January year ago or so, sad to see they still persist. Aborist set was my favourite to my warrior. Was.

Another issue with the Acolyte’s armour I noticed on my toon – left glove’s finger weights are incorrect (picture). Can’t confirm the right glove.

Body type, gender and profession: all same as in this post.

Vigil light coat worn on this particular body variant is deformed. Profession: ranger. No other piece of equipment seems to cause the distortion, it’s entirely the coat’s bug. (picture).

It seems that the first time you log in the icons look fairly well*. But if you switch between characters, something is happening to hair textures one the icons so that they appear brighter than normal.

*not to mention the months-lasting bug that still deforms characters’ faces.

You guys convinced me.

Yeah, SMAA injector seems to be the issue after today’s Nvidia update. The game launches for me though. The error (“the procedure entry point Direct3DBreate9Ex could not be located in the dynamic link library d3d9.dll”) keeps popping up for me, but the game launches and works without problems.

The issue is that I don’t want to stop using SMAA, and I’m sure people don’t want to stop using SweetFX either – the game looks horrible without it, the standard FXAA is horribly blurry.

Ornate Tailor’s Backpack [&AgHI9QAA]

Race/class/gender: any

The chain attached to the backpack has the weights all wrong.

Spydor.7358:

Copy the following files to the bin subdirectory:

d3d9.dll , dxgi.dll and injector.ini

restart game.

Thanks a bunch!

I just use the SMAA injector, and nope, stopped working for me after the patch.

The game looks horribly blurred with the built in AA, such a shame…

Those are three mixed gemstore sets – Strider top and Magitech leggins and boots, shoulders and gloves are from Aetherblade. Breather as a mask obtainable at TP, don’t remember the name.

It’s in the ears, buddy. The ears.

I barely settled up with a new look for my ele and they put this outfit in the game… I’m torn.

For Cantha.

I dunno… Preview window often lies, I already was disappointed with the Phoenix skins which were nice and glossy in the preview, but totally dull in actual world, but I think I want to get the Chaos Staff just for nostalgia’s sake. But why is it set so high on the (human, in my case) character’s back, do we really have to carry our staves like antennas?

points at majority of giantic, less then subtle scepters and foci skins

Yeah, Chakram was my favorite.

Strictly personal opinion: the “pony” tail is stiff. If you mind that, you may want something that’s at least a little bit animated. The other hairdo though, depends on transparency a lot, thus it will look horrible sometimes. In other words, your char will look more like on the small previews on the right than like on the big one.

I still wish they would convert norn hairstyles for human and human for norn.

A norn can look more elonian than human at the moment…

Couldn’t help myself.

I will bump OPs like this every time. Would kill for option to have at least few armors looking like male versions, including Heritage light, Banded, Seer, Phalanx and more… Unfortunately, I think that’s not doable, the only hope is for the future sets being less gender differentiated, less boob cups, less boob windows, less randomly exposed body parts (Priory, OoW heavy).

The latest costume is just…. ugh, I thought Phalanx was bad. My fem asura can run cowered up from head to toe, with awesome animated parts (ribbons), but fem human ends up with a metal thong and her vital parts exposed. Yay.

Reganov.3569:

Some woman are into that.
But I do think they should have at least done a base texture for hair.

It was there in the game earlier. It disappeared after the first Halloween event. I posted a pic in a similar thread.

Keth.3495:

Made an in-game bug report about this a couple of days ago, but thought I should also post here. I am also experiencing clipping with the ancestral outfit.

Human mesmer

I confirm this happens on this particular body type. Kinda afraid to ask for it to be fixed, because most fixes end up in making skirts look like baloons.

Funny thing, before the first GW2 Halloween event, my toon still had hair drawn on the scalp texture while wearing the top hat. After the event, somebody swapped those textures with completely bald. Same with my asura.

Reported as bug, just wasted time. I wonder if it was the same with armors that day, anyways, see the screenshots.

Well, I just don’t wear my top hat any more.

About the new Phoenix weapons – on the previews they look all okay and shiny, but in the world the specular effect is incredibly dull except for the gem parts.

Eleri Tezhme.3048:

randomly decided to start working again after I came out of a PS bit…I’d already done 2 PS missions without anything changing. o.O

(Had to log off for a bit, came back in and it was off again. What’s a girl gotta do to keep her flaming blue dagger??)

Hey. As fas as I know, these skins are “glowing” only at night.

^ There I was sad nobody uses my fav face preset and you used it twice

I don’t mind people making their characters look like they want them to look. Female human faces are… homogeneous as they are, there’s one preset used three times with different textures, two or more used twice, can’t blame people for lack originality, when the character creator has little to offer.

Same goes for hairstyles. Apparently there’s not enough variety since the new makeover kit shows up and everyone suddenly sport the same hairdo.

If one wants originality, gotta start stacking up those gems today, maybe we get another three hairdos/faces in another year.

Race: human
Class: ele
Gender: female
Body type: second to the last in the first line of the character creator.
Armor: Seer’s

Short description: major case of boobcup detachment.

Long description: During this particular animation, the mesh close to the shoulder and collarbone wraps too strongly, while the chest area stays in place, but only at the right side, so this hole can be seen. The mesh appears to be correctly welded/weighted at the left side.

I admit, I had to think of what you did here for a bit.

But yeah, characters yelling about gaining adrenaline while they are losing adrenaline is just weird.

My first and only T3. Worked for it for about 450 days >_>

#ElonaPride4Life

Awesome! And lemme guess: I can’t reproduce this look on my female character.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

please give me back my original names

fellblade
ithas long bow
icebreaker
…
etc
heritage armor

i want my original names back!

Among the weird tonic decision, this. Preserve the name of the skin we’re using for the looks of the item, not the item that is was transmuted onto.

Hermes.7014:

I don’t see what’s wrong in asking for a non skimpy version of the armor.
I’d have bought that Phalanx armor on my female characters if it wasn’t so kitten different from the male counterpart. They just seem like two completely different armor sets. The male is clad in heavy armor while the female has open spots everywhere.

Essentially this. Bought it for my femasura thou.

I’m in favour of no more Phoenix/Phalanx armours or more choice. Or, if they already make a good looking functional heavy set, like banded or Order of Whispers set, stop ruining it with stupid boobplates/boobwindows.

As someone who bit a little of 3d modeling, everything begins with one base rig, usually male, and it’s easier and less annoying to shape female form from it that make a completely new female set.

daimasei.4091:

Oh the memories.

Game is surprisingly active actually, everyone should try it out again. Find a large guild & ally and it’s like the old days.

Just more and more laggy. At least for me and I have no idea what can be the reason.

No, golems are normal. I think that anything that has a head bone is affected (by scaling that bone up).

DarcShriek.5829:

It’s quite simple really, Gwen is actually a cyborg sent from the future to destroy char.

I find it quite funny you mention that since tomorrow there’s another “anniversary” of the day we “saved” Gwen’s mother, Sarah, from a golem sent to the past by charr.

I’m calling upon you, Bane.

EotM has awesome lights, I can’t affect gamma settings though, so this screen is heavily modified.

As someone with ulnar nerve damage, things OP suggests would be nice.

Yeah, the Taimi’s hairdo seems okay, but the rest of the three are stiff.

The town clothes thing. I want it to be true, should’ve been true since day one.

If I remember right, this track appeared first in Guild Wars Bonus Mission Pack, Togo’s story, and it was a shout out to Kill Bill or something. I still have it somewhere, extracted back in the days GW2Dat was working for me.

The whole mission was stylised in an interesting way… And now I have to replay it.

ozmaniandevil.6805:

Rose Celeste Frost with a new hairstyle. I love the 3 new styles ANet added. All but one of my toons got new hair

I love this one too.

Xzaander.4123:

Realism aside, I don’t want stuff like Phalanx (and many, many other sets) happen again. I saw this particular set on a male char first, them I previewed it on my human guardian – what a disappointment that was. Or heavy OoW, which looks completely awesome on dudes, gets ridiculous boob windows on females.

The melody is titled “The Tengu Wall” and it was on the soundtrack since forever. It was just not used during the gameplay earlier. I’ve been hearing some rumours about improving the musical background, and tbh, battle themes play more often, and end appropriately quicker now.

New hairstyle clips with elementalist’s token “eyes”, all of them. Please consider changing the volume of the front part close to the forehead.
