Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen in a preview of the feature pack that one of the collections are for get every champ bag collection. How do I Unlock this collection? Can’t find it

So, the main excuse for not bring back sab was that it don’t fits on the LS narrative, but says this to me anet : We all made a supah important summit with all leaders, got attacked by a furious dragon and pale tree is almost dying.

OK, lets just go collect some treasures around for 3 months while we decide what to do next. Does this fits in your narrative Anet?

The disable automatic fucntion on proxy functions has finally worked for me, but a quick note for those that didn’t worked :

Make sure to un-check BOTH boxes. The one that says automatic check, AND the box that says “Use script to automatic check”.

After this, Disable your anti-virus, and the game should laucnh just as normal. Thanks for the help btw.

MysticHLE.7160:

I have the exact opposite problem. My characters are much larger and feet/legs are getting cut off…

Second that. Got this problem on my ranger human too.

I’ve been able to play now with the solution posted a page ago ( Create a shortcut, and put the -email <mailinfo> -password <PassInfo> -nopatchui

I’ve been running with spotflux on, and if I turn it off, it just shows me a black screen (Like for some ppl).

But still, Trading Post is not openable, and I hate run spotflux. Also waiting for a fix here.

Not sure if those were always there, but the necro staff skills now adds a really cool scythe animation to the stave

PS: No, that staff is not final rest. Its the HoM reward staff.

My client just freeze and nothing happens. The whole interface seen to be changed in size, fonts and it just freeze and don’t start patching. ANyone else? Any know way to fix it?

Achievment farm. Its usual to see, since anet has put a huge ammount of points to complete each achiev, then players agree with each another to instead of play the game, just throw keg between thenselves to be getting the various things towards the achievments.

I remember when we had the glory system, and we could boost that glory with boosters. Well, pvp reward track is just about the same thing as glory, so can we have a booster to those, and add this boost to the annyverssary booster?

I miss use my anyversary boosters on my pvp characters

Hi all. This topic is likely to be a general feedback about the september feature pack, and things I want to suggest (Or remember) that should be nice to have in a feature pack.

On a quick note about september feat pack, I found it very very weak, most of thigs are implementations of features that china already had months ago, and could be implemented easily on the course of the last months. The other general things in this FP I see more like reworks on systems that most part of the game population already found good enough, so I don’t think it needed a rework at all.

The only thing that got my attention in this feature pack is the Collection achievments.

That said, I’ll list here some suggestions of features that I was expecting and I think that ould really improve the game experience for everyone:

> PVP

• A hotjoin Option for 1×1 battles. (Aka duel) : I love to pvp in gw2, but it destroy my game experience that the only pvp system I have avaiable to play all the time is a team combat pvp. Isn’t pvp for me when you fight 3×1, or when ppl force balance on a team to get on the winning team.

• New pvp Game modes : Carry the flag, Protect the lord, Slay then all (Last team with 1 player survivor win), any new pvp game modes would be great.

> WxW

• New sort of objectives in BL : As a war, would be great see improvments as barricades, and vigil towers around keeps, that can be upgraded/captured in order to increase points per tick, and better thatn all : Siege monsters : Like the giant devourers, or siege wurms.

• New commands to commanders : I’ve only recently discovered that commanders can map mark to theirs squad with icons like “Defense”, or “Attack”. This is very hidden and poorly designed. Improve this function By actually making it be more visible on mini map/map with an circle area (Like the capture areas) where the commander need ppl. Would be even better if the commander could ask a number of ppl, and then this Area circle get green when it reachs the ammout of ppl needed.

> Collecting and Trading

• Person-to-person Trading : Its terrible when you have to just believe that the person will pay you by the mail system, this is not a secure system and is also very bad in gaming experience. A just window trading would be incridible good.

• Legendarys for a legend : The so talked scavenger hunt for precursor are exactly what Mawdrey has proved to us . That sort of system is nice, make tokens that you only get when u visit place, or kill a boss. Best of all, a diary just like the books we had in gw1, that fill pages for every sstep made towards the legendary. Mini dungeons, Mini Puzzles, Bosses and even rare mats i order to fill each page of the book.

• Collectable tokens : For stuff like teq skin, or fractals skins. I by myself ave run over 150 teq battles without getting a single teq hoard. I’ve got 10 different fractal skins less the shield that I wanted (Running over 500+ fractals by now). So, a token system like the scraps that you made in BoT4w in last year, each exo chest of teq gives you a single token, and with 25 tokens you can exchange for a teq skin. This sort of thing.

> New Stuff and content

• New armor and weapons : Yeah, new legendarys (Not everyone like raibow style, but staff is still a great option for a lot of ppl), new craftable/in game collectable armors, and finally new legendary gear.

• New Dungeon/More fractal levels : At least 1 new path for every dungeon (They have a lot of potential to be explored yet), or a new brand dungeon. And by last, more fractal levels beyond 50. 50 is already too easy, and some ppl like challenging content.

Those are thing that I personally miss in this game, and would love to see in a feature pack. About the september feature pack, I said All I had to say, I know that it have some stuff for other sort of ppl different than me, but if u gave then this FP what they wanted, please, take a time to these other features next time too. thank you, cya.

I’ll explain to you in 2 simple words:

Gold Sink

Sarcasm is in everywhere in this topic haha. +1.

Sometimes I hear a loud, frightening roar while in wxw zerg fights. Like a dragon roar xD.

Very funny, and i never know why does that happen.

What I mean here is : If this nourishment already have a different icon, shouldn’t it be usable along (together) with other foods? Just like guild banket food? (Same nourshment icon). That is how I think it worked tbh. Seens a little powerful, but its a 2-years gift anyway.

Still, is very strange. I was in a teq fight and decided to get the buffs, But I couldn’t, because I was over the effect of a food that still had 25min left.

I yet think it seens more like a bug, since the nourshment don’t states that it will be lost/ungetable

Is it working as intended? Quotes from wiki:

" This effect is overridden by any other food consumable and players will not receive the effect if they are already under the effects of a food. The Sugar Rush lasts 30 seconds and prevents the player from picking up other birthday cakes on the ground."

Seens pointless for me, so I was thinking if this is really working as intended or if it is a bug. Can any dev awnser for me? Thank you.

The better part was the yaks Cosplay at 1:00., Yes, make my funeral, I died.

So far, this feature pack has been significantly smaller thatn previous one. But this is really like try to fill a ruffles pack with air (More thatn usual). another WxW season is not a new game feature.

This is becoming each day more strange, can we actually wait for something worth, or a lot of air is incoming?

I’ve been opening 4gifts per day all days, and so far didn’t got any better luck than the ones I’ve posted on 1st topic. I’ll update here if happens to me get anything better.

I think that the vision crystal was awesome in some ways. Sadly, I don’t have a use for it right now.

I second any post that wishes SAB back. Anet is out of sense when they says “It doesn’t fit in LS”.

A tip anet : LS don’t fit this game for most of players, and we still have it around forced on us

Thats the point overall I think. As some more ppl said in last posts, we had a great manifesto and such a lovely halfway blogpost with a lot of good stuff that never happened.

But instead of that content, we got a lot, and a lot of unexpected things, that no one asked for, while important game aspects were left behind. I know that new things are important to game, and I love some of then. But does it really takes so much effort at the point to negate all the other aspects?

As some ppl say around, and I really believe thats the case : The actual team working on the content that we actually see in game, is only a small team of the whole Anet staff. My best hope is that really does exist something bigger behind the stages, but without any word is kinda hard to understand whats going on.

Also did I. Got a new pet seedling by contacting the support, Thank you for the quick awnser and careful support, support team

I agree with you nexxe. The Lost shores release was exactly the sort of thing that I would expect from a game such gw2. I mean, the lost shores was still on the same level and concept og gw2 overall. But seens like everything else beyone that release got hardly changed.

The overall sense, is that anet put too much effort inplanning, and get with really low time to actually do something. One example is those “Feature packs”. Do you guys remember when we have a “Pack of features” every month with each release? Lost shores brought more features thatn this entire year have to bring. The 1st halloween release also has bring a lot of content (a good ammount of jumping puzzles, amd mini dungeons).

Well, that was the start, after this we got the biggest fail I’ve ever sen in gw2 : Flame And Frost. 4 Months of almost nothing but 1 end-chapter dungeon.

Also, why do they need to remove things that works well in the game? Such SAB, or the general meta events in orr of old-times, the TA path that got replaced (In order to get a new one, we need to lose another?), the water pvp combat (I know not everyone loved that, but still a large group of pvp’rs like me loved the UW combat).

Creating this topic so we can see what mawdrey II gifts can actually drop.

Usually, I get 1 green, a random ammount of a random craft mat, and a randon ammount of white junk.

Other than that, i got:

1x Lesser vision crystal (Ascended).
1x Rare armor.

Nice how someone came here whinning about a game skin, and call the other players as childs haha.

Keep it up, good show so far.

I would say :

Tybalt > Taimi > Faolain.(I know she is from the baddies, but I love her).

The rest, are only rest. In other hand, the ones that I dislike more

Logan > Traeharne > Phlunt

I disagree. Weapons are way too less sized >_> . Try to play an asura, the most majestic staff looks like a magical wand of HP series.

Nice video.

I dislike the Hard saturation you put into it tough.

In other hand, I think that could be nice if you’ve put some scenes of the last fight of s2, as a end-scene to the video.

So there is no way I will get the seed back to craft the second/third backpiece? I need to build the first one again? And no money left…

No, all you have to do is wait for the next fix.

All we need so, is a new awnser of anets part, because last response we got was
“We will not refund you, and you will not be able to craft 2nt tier if you had continued with pet seedling.”. Also, they said something about another way to acquire the skin on other way, what we can’t even imagine when will happen, or how much it’ll cost.

All we need is a new awnser of anet part saying that they are really working on a fix. A right fix, then we can all be patient and wait. But the last final word was that no fix was coming.

Therodin.2970:

To everyone saying that we should be happy because were saving gold on not having to make the second backpiece, That would be true except i and im sure many others already bought/crafted/farmed everything else i need for the second step of the exotic one. The way it was worded makes it sound like ill be able to buy the skin with laurels or something later, instead of crafting it which would mean all the ingredients i bought (which some were pretty expensive) are now completely useless unless i want to spend even more money to craft the first one again. This is why we are angry.

Exactly this.

Dont get me wrong, I love the whole concept of LS stuff, and I even like the formula you are using for feature packs.

BUT, this game is missing a lot of content ever since the very first days. I know that LS brought some cool things, such factals and… er.. southsun and dry top maybe?

But this is a really low number of content for a game that is reaching 2 years of existance. For example, a player that completeded his story today, will have basically the same endgame that we had at game launch.

I’ve been playing gw1 i.e., and wow, after completing all the campaigns, the game feels like so much content that I’ll probably spend another 2-3 year to do it all. I feel like Gw2 need a content pack too. And by content I mean:

- New dungeons
- New Races (Don’t even need to be playable, Just add something else to world)
- New PVP formats (Duel maybe?)
- New legendarys
- A new set of skills (not a single trait and 1 heal skill)
- New profession
- New elite content (Such is the UW in gw1)
- New maps (I know LS brough 2 atm, But I really was thinking in something like a pack)
- New forms of Zerg pvp battles (Like WxW)

And other forms of content. Will we ever see something like this?

SylarBG.6051:

Is it so hard to revert Pet Seedling to Pet Seed and Mists Infused Clay Pot? That wouldn’t ruin economics(we can’t sell anything). It would be fair to the players. Not everyone can afford to get all the materials again because of a bug.. Please, think about that.

That wont work for a lot of players already, like me that fully completed the ascended backpiece. I’m stuck with all mats to 2nd exo but the cultivated seed.

Please Anet, is it really so hard to just put a NPC that check if you have the 1st backpiece, it gaves you another cultivated seed?

Coming here saying “We will not refund you” is really a terrible offense for us players. Was a bug, not fault of us players. SO, because of a bug, I’ll not be able to craft the 2nd tier backpiece? “Unlock skin” in future you say, and what about have the exotic backpiece itself? It was exactly what I was going to do, give the exo backpiece to an alt.

All the gold I’ve spent on the other mats? what about ppl that don’t want to craft the ascended version and only wanted to upgrade his backpiece? Now need to farm and get all mats all over again because a bug of yours?

Really, come here saying “We will not refund you because of our bug” is a incridible high offense for your playerbase.

To make both backpieces you need map exploration, Jumping puzzles, mini dungeons, fractals and craft. Oh wait, so everyone that dislike Jumping puzzle is excluded from this too right? and also anyone that dislike map esploration btw.

Seriouly, it is very very easy go there and run quick fractals lv1. 5 day and you’ll have all ur pristines. I don’t see any reason to be whinning here.

Backpack.8517:

Wait…. your complaining about PvP gear being skill based? Go to pve if you just wanna farm…

The problem here is : Not everyone is able to participate, or enter into those tournaments .

I for example, I am not a bad pvplayet at all, rank tiger and going forward, I play just fine and most of matchs I rarely die. BUT, I can’t travel to participate into tournaments live like that, and into tournaments like the tournaments of legensds I need a full team and a free time to participate. Sadly, I don’t have any of the 2.

Whatever, I dislike the idea of rewards locked behind especific group of selected players. The best model for anything “Prestige” for me, is still elite dungeons/boss just like liadri, or Lupi, or even liadri and lupi together. Something that is hard, and based only and only on player skill. Not on especific factors that exclude other players.

MauricioCezar.2673:

As a friend has told me on another topic, now we are able to at least finish the ascended backpiece if we had make the pet seedling.

Before you stucked at mount maelstrom part, but now you can keep forward

Already got mine, only coming here to advise you guys to keep your journey too.

That is not true.
I have the seedling, created with the pet seed that was buged, and can’t activate anything there.

Still waiting for a fix. Hope I dont have to get another clay pot.

You probably did’nt go to the right place. Get this guide if you need it:
http://dulfy.net/2014/08/13/gw2-mawdrey-ascended-backpiece-and-pet-crafting-guide/

After get the plant seedling, all you need to do is enter in the secret garden, and interact with one of the elemental sources to get the nest item step. And then, a lot more forward to do. But it is obtainable.

As I said, I already got mine, and I was in the exact same boat as you guys. But yes,a fix is also welcome, since I couldn’t grab the 2nd tier backpiece.

Well, not sure if u guys already know, but the recent LS patch brought a new item that eats bloodstone dust (50x) and gives you a gift containing (1xequipment, 1xcraft mat, 1-3 white trash for sell).

So, I’m happy that I didn’t destroyed my ascended mats and have 7 mules filled with it.
Maybe more things like this hapen in future, so, as long as you have bank tabs/mule character to hold, is always nice

As a friend has told me on another topic, now we are able to at least finish the ascended backpiece if we had make the pet seedling.

Arvid.3829:

It is not mentioned in the patch notes, but the parts that required you had the previous backpiece to proceed no longer do (e.g. getting the Pile of Elemental Essence in Deirde’s Steps). So your progress with the pet seedling should no longer be blocked .

Ty a lot. Got able to complete my ascended backpiece

Malchior.5042:

Then it must be one of the two you listed.

These “new bosses” in Dry Top must be very rare. I haven’t seen mention of them yet, even on Reddit. Not sure if they only spawn during tier 6 or if their appearance is just super rare in the zone.

One of the bosses is probably the giant beetle (That is at least challenging). Not sure about any other, could be the golem but don’t seems epic enough.

+1 lost player that have a seedling instead of a pet seed. I’ve even advised about it before fix:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/lwd/PLEASE-READ-About-Pet-seed

Its such a fast fix anet : Check if the player have the 1st back piece, and give him a new cultivate seed. Sample as that, no profit for have “More than” one cultivated seed or pet seed anyway.

“Players who mistakenly ended up with a Pet Seed after the release can speak with Azarr Softhoof in Uplands Oasis to receive a Cultivated Seed in exchange for their Pet Seed.”

Exactly what I feared :
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/lwd/PLEASE-READ-About-Pet-seed

What about the players that no longer have the pet seed anet?

It isn’t about to “Double click” the orb. U guys just need to enter in the are with the steam minotaure, and then interact with the radiation cloud that is right on his plataform.

Krag.6210:

What is the pet seed for exactly?

Aparently, its the 1st step towards the 3rd backpiece (Ascended one). Sadly, don’t seens like we can make ascended one without have previously made 2nd exotic.

Also, remember that Lol and Minecraft for example, have multiples and multiples torunaments and leagues around the world, what sums a huge ammount of hours into the teamspeak (Or Overfwolf) . What just is totally different from actual numbers of playerbase gampleay, or quality of the game.

Any list that shows LoL and Minecraft as a 1st places is totally discredited.

But talking about gw2, at least for me, is the best piece of cake in the market atm. And I tried almost every other mmos that came around lately.

So, I was looking around game forums, and discovered that the cultivated seed was bugged and swapped for pet seed. I do blieve that you are already working on a fix and all.

BUT, I just wanted to state the while I didn’t knew about the bug, I continued my research and already cultivated my pet seed, of course I’m stucked at a further point that seens like I need the Cultivated vine backpiece. But I’ve spent a lot of gold and mats into cultivating pet seend and other things forward, so I don’t have neither pet seed, nor cultivated seed anymore. Just wanted to point this, because if fix come to something like “Reverse” the pet seed to be cultivated seed again Me and others will continue stucked either way.

Suggestion of fix : Put a npc that check if u have the 1st backpiece, it gives you a new cultivated seed.

Thank you

Noticed today that the essence of luck (Fine) can be put into Mytic forge. Am I missing some recipe that use it or what?

yes, I agree that 6 barrel per ppl is a bit too much, what i tried to say tbh, is that the scale don’t seens to work just fine. I think that it should have likely 6 barrels as a minimum ammount to complete, and then, as long more ppl show around, increase maybe 1 barrel for each 2-3 ppl that show around.

(Also, I did complete the event with a pair, 1 barrel for each of us, and the event was done, even while more ppl was getting close to the barrels/mine.)
