The bug fix that was implemented this morning prevents Adnul from using Critique on the same turn it ends, granting a minimum of one turn before he can use it again. The reason he belches so often is because he never fakes (or extremely infrequently) so his belch comes off cooldown often.
Also if that is your entire algorithm for his drinking, this is why there is an issue. This is fine as a possiblity but if it does happen, this specific instance should have a CD on it self among others as not to just RNG someone to death. There is going to be RNG but how to properly handle the RNG is key which again if that is all you have in the programming, thats the issue. This has and had to be done in other games because the RNG with certain elements became extremely overpowered or useless.
Example: Ability A is an evasion skill to dodge 50% of attacks. Depending on RNG, this ability could be useless or OP. Thereforth it was added in that after 3 consecutive dodges or hits, the 4th would be the latter, an auto hit or auto dodge.
This example is a real example from a different game btw.
… one day, seems it will be years from now at this rate, I can jump and not sound like a male asura!
This bug has been in the game forever among others. Please post here that you want a patch dedicated to fixing these bugs rather then pouring out living content constantly. Please take an entire month instead of adding content, fix all the current bugs in the game!
I only managed to beat him with Mango Pie… just don’t tune him down too much, quite a fight.
You Sir are a genuies. Mango pie whooped him. tyvm
yea arena fixed that…mango pie dont work no moe
What is frustrating is they seem to in general IMMEDIATELY fix a bug that assist players but its ok if the Karka event is still half broke and some achievements are buggy like a few of the AR which were never ever fixed to work but yet some were fixed to stop some exploits. This is has happened time and again not just with Guild Wars either.
I understand them fixing exploits in events I am all for it, I wish they be more on top of it with some of these bosses and events they throw at us, like hiding from the cannon at the gate in AR drove me up the wall but was never fixed. But they seem to not really care when it comes to achievement bugs, loot bugs etc.
So we’ve been investigating this issue and we feel that Adnul is being a little too mean. We will have a change in soon that should make him give players a bit more breathing room while still maintaining the difficulty to a degree.
Thank you all for the feedback and apologies for any frustration this has been causing you.
Adnul will have plenty of breathing space after I remove his * supreme reigning gut * and make it into one of my pets :s
Oh ok. I can see how that would be handy in the cliffs.
I wonder how many zephyrites became paste while putting all those sky crystals about… maybe they all had death shroud too? :P
I’m half convinced it was Kiel who put them there. Lots of people having to pay waypoint costs, make them lean more towards lower WP costs in the future vote. Conspiracy theories abound.
Where is all this nonsense about Kiel wanting to do this and that. I talk to her and she never mentioned such things!
Sera is correct! I was more pointing towards those who like to climb around even on Non-JPs and doing crazy stuff which is why I mentioned Tomb Raider XD
Quite frankly i guess its time i start getting used to letting go of trying to experience all these living story stuffs. I just cant afford to keep up with it.
Ya which is partially why I missed an achievement in the last one. I did not realize it was gonna be anywhere as hard as it was and not nearly as popular as F and F. I had stuff and some issues to deal with at the time. I figure I had time to catch up cause I did all the F and F stuff pretty fast. The other issue is we only got what TWO weeks for the AR instance with those crazy achievements!
It also overall has been getting taxing keeping up on it all. I got the game cause I thought I could casually play it, now im like no no NOOOO not more stuff that I have X time to play with! QQ
We feel like our fractals dungeon is the perfect fit for this kind of “historical” experience, similar to the way the BMP worked in Gw1. Even better, it already exists and has explanations behind why these slices of time are available to discover and experience within.
In the future, you’ll see certain types of content that was part of larger story experiences be updated to work within the fractals dungeon and return there where it makes sense to do so. Of course, the specific rewards and achievements will not return since those are intended to be completed as the story unfolds, but the content itself will be used to expand out our fractals experience and serve as a place to continue to experience great (and strange) moments in history.
I don’t know if you posted about this but why do you feel it was ok to include difficult achievements with a limited amount of time, I believe it was only 2 weeks unlike the usual month.? You nerfed the achievement for the Doylaks for Wintersday but that will be back again. You did not do anything with the difficult achievements for AR, some were even buggy and people lost out on it just because it did bug out. I love putting in the work to do those achievements but it was a lot of effort and time to try and do them.
Those should of not been temporary and what is the point of scaling us lowbies if some of the stuff is out of reach? Do you personally know how hard it was for me to get a group to kill Captain in 15 mins as a lowbie? I am dead serious that it was far harder to get a group, muchless a good group then any achievement in this game. I am also not a big social person so I don’t have people to just carry me.
Evon. Evon all the way.
Atleast he has a personality.
While there is a lot I like about GW2, the story I am sad to say isn’t one of them including the characters themselves. They really should kick this up like 50 notches in general.
Mad Kings Memoires: Complete Edition actually gives a better light radius around you then the torches and if you have to pvp int he dark room, it could be helpful since you can drop the torchs and see the ground around you still. Figure I post this information since I know a lot hate this being an achievement and this might be helpful.
It’s okay, all my events are 100%, the only thing I dislike is that the infinite achievement will ruin my 100% streak. WHYYYYYY!
Mean! Rub in the my face why don’t you >:O especially when I asked you for help because I was running out of options and you declined! You could of choosen to throw that whole early bird get thes worm logic out of the window! QQQQQQ Don’t make me hex you and shatter your chain too.
I’m… still slightly confused at what you’re upset about. o___o;
But anywho, I think people would be more ticked off if the failed achievements weren’t locked away not to look at. If they were out in the open I think it’d be rubbing it in more.
Imagine having 299/300 holographic minions killed. THAT WOULD SUCK (because it would be in your face).
This has already happened to people and posted about it. Think someone had 2 more to go and server rebooted for patch. I doubt they will forget about it simply because they tried to hide it.
I won’t forget because I spent from 3-4pm est to 4ish am est for the Captain and dropped money to gear myself towards that fight. I slept 3 hours that night and yes I choose to because I already committed on top of it we did it in 14 mins but the event bugged. Never got it under 15 again :/ I even help teach a group on how to do it and we were doing well but reclearing everytime for a failure is exhuasting for people. We practiced awhile after a failed match too just to help save time and then went for real attempts. I am proud of them even though we did not make it.

That a very difficult achievement compared to the others in this game had limited time to complete and it was group reliant which makes it even harder. Not all of us are social hogs with a bijillions friends who do our will at our beck and call.
Being the dungeon is a hole in a wall UNDER a waterfall, I cannot see why they just didn’t extend the use of the instance. Not like it was the Flaming Screaming Brimstone Fortress of Chaos dropped down in the middle of a farm field for all to see!
You give us an event with, in my opinion, difficult but good achievements, * maybe a slight nerf for one but not for me * but with limited time so many could not complete them leave us with wounds! Now you try to show us all this new stuff with achievements reminding us of our agony, rubbing salt in it! You try to hide our failures with this new UI! But I will remember… that one achievement… it will be the kitten ed Sword of Damocles that will hang above your heads!
You have broken my perfect chain of achievements with these one time events, a single link shattered, with a thousand bladed talons now descending upon you!! Screams of the dying will fill the air! A symphony of terror is about to begin!!

Welcome to MY LIVING STORY ANET, the LIVING DEAD! * cackels maniacally *
PS Find the Easter Egg
In all a seriousness I am unhappy with how these events continue to be handled not addressed on the spot but rather only a foot note for the next event. I also don’t like that our failed achievements are hidden as if it suppose to make us ignore the fact. :[
i did it 2 times yesterday. 2 rows 2 less then 15 min, 2 shots in airship
We are aware that you need to do it in 15 mins and what occurs. We are pointing out that it does not always happen. I do not know why people keep posting this stuff in this thread. When bridges dont appear among other things, theres something wrong.
The main problem is that there is zero purpose of having to clear the whole/partial instance just to retry an achievement. It is not easy compared to other stuff in the game first off. Second the reclearing just drags it on and does not show the skill you try to accquire to complete. The skill is in the actual fight, not reclearing the same stuff over and over again. So we have a instance with very limited time, that is difficult compared to others, same with the achievements and we also must waste time trying to even attempt it. Who thought this was a good idea?
I am also not happy at all with the timer on it. I am working hard as I can to finish this and I will sadly not be able to get the Unfriendly Sky one cause its too late, too hard to find pugs to do it. We had some good attempts but people get tired and work and such. Lost enough sleep in hopes I would get it but our last attempt while good was not good enough so ended emtpy handed.
You have to beat it in under 15 minutes on your first attempt and the timer starts the second you see the cut scene between Mai and Horrik. If you do not see the bonus event in the top right corner when you beat Horrik then you either wiped or took longer than 15 minutes..
Or it bugged out like, no bridge , or no cannon, or X something else didnt happen…
Frizz showed us how buggy it can get with him NOT reseting and constantly pulls people back into the boss room as they rez at the way point right into laser walls over and over… that was some major buggy stuff.
Casual player can get mini, pro player can get mini, neither has to do dungeon for mini. If you are a completionist and want every achievement then you are not a casual player and need to l2p. The difficulty of this dungeon is perfect. So what you might wipe 10 times on an encounter – that’s how you learn.
I will most likely be one of them (with the bug). Already did it once and got zero credit and being 41 it’s been a bloody nightmare to even get people to take me, then they do, we do it and we get the bug out? -_-
Thank you RagingDragon for getting me through! Though due to a lovely bug, did not get the achievement Uncleared Skies even though finished in time yay! Now I have to spend hours, which I have been already, trying to find another person willing to help me -_-
I should get achievement points just for trying to find a group! >:O
Me and my Guild have completed this dungeon at least a hundred times already, and 1/4 of the people we took through it were under leveled and in green/blue gear. And while they did occasionally spend a bit of time looking up at the ceiling, we completed every run. When you are up-leveled you do not have have access to every skill or trait that a “True” level 80 has. And you need to adjust your playstyle, because you are a bit weaker than a “True” level 80. But while you may be weaker, you just need to rely on your dodges and your skill with your class more. I have a couple members in my guild that are level 50 and are more skilled than many of the level 80 PUG’s out there.
Once you learn the Dungeon Mechanics this is actually a very fun challenging fight.
@ OP: Are you EU or NA? If you will be online in an hour and are on a NA Server, we can take you through this dungeon.
I am NA and I should be on most of the night. I do try to carry my weight by playing medic more then the others.
I put you on my flist so just gonna wait until your on since I been trying to do this most of the day.
All in all, I keep getting turned down so scaling me up isn’t helping. I still can’t get a group to even BEAT captain much less get the achievements. People bail out too soon, too many leave after 1 wipe LITERALLY 1 wipe on anything, they leave. I am tempted to suggest to Anet to put in CDs for instance of it forces to commit rather then group hop until they get their perfect people.
I would also double check your gear just to be sure, I know on my alts I can sometimes fall 5-15 levels behind in gear just because I only use random drops to gear them out while leveling. Also remember that most level 80s are in at least rare if not exotic gear, where the stats actually change a decent amount from masterwork. I know that isn’t too helpful (I forget what level the first rare gear is unlocked) but your damage will be taken down further when using masterwork gear compared to exotic.
(Question for those who know more about sidekicking: does just the weapon damage/armor improve when scaled up, or the stats on the gear too? And if the gear only has 1-2 stats on it, when people get scaled to 80 do they get a 3rd stat boost or not?)
I don’t mean my next line to come off as a “l2p” line, so please don’t take it as such. I haven’t tried this dungeon sidekicked, but I’ve seen a few people on the forums say that they have completed the dungeon with a low lvl (~40) person. I think with that with this dungeon being a lot harder than the previous content, and a lot of lvl 80 groups not being able to beat it, they don’t want to take the chance with having a “disadvantage” of having a lower level person. So it is possible to beat it with 1-2 non-80s but I think everyone needs to know what they’re doing/have good experience with the dungeon already, to make it easier.
I don’t mean to sound rude at all but I wish what you said was true. I’ve check the numbers and they do scale up but yet when put into action, its very lacking.
In terms of dmg, when I was lvl 5 doing my first scaling event which was halloween, I couldn’t even begin to hurt those mobs yet watch lvl 80s do ok dmg to them. I had blue quality daggers which worked great with on lvl mobs.
I actually have to avoid all the mobs cause of this so my damage was not scaling all that well.
Cause I am tired of the hate on lowbies. I don’t see why its so difficult to scale us to 80. I have a green weapon? I should be = to a lvl 80 green weapon, simple. I am in lvl 1 blue gear? Should be = to lvl 80 blue gear. etc etc.
I may not be able to see the end of this story just cause it so hard for me to get into a group and none have been able to kill the captain yet. What is the point of even scaling us if we A can’t do it with a lowbie group and B no one else wants a lowbie.
This game period needs new writers or they need to up the ante, forget just one npc. The story overall could be much much better and really is lacking. I do not think myself too hard to please with plots since I find a lot of simple plots exciting and most people don’t but this is beyond too simple, there just no excitement at all…
When I read the history of GW, I never played one, it sounded pretty interesting to me, but in game the storys been -_-
I don’t understand. Dark Souls is quoted as a good example of difficulty is actually pretty punishing when it comes to check points. I also believe that the JP is short enough not to warrant a checkpoint.
And that game also causes a lot of people too scream and quit or to make an OP character which isn’t hard given how the armor system works among other mechanics.
Hmm trying doing it now. I did it today for my first time and the hostile players didn’t even bother me or anyone else. There wasn’t that many either other then those trying to do it themselves.
I will say I like that is it hard but NOT ON A TIME LIMIT! Being not a level 80 on top of people hate people lower level even if you bring 1 lowbie on top of the fact this has PART OF THE STORY in it, makes me very unhappy!
Im growing weary of getting only bits and pieces of these stories because of bugs that aren’t fixed the whole way through and/or the stuff is too hard for pugs to do most of the time.
While I love the environment of this game, the story has been really lacking to begin with in the first place, then add insult to injury, you can’t even get to see the whole story.
I think people are going too far if they say all the human models have anatomy problems. Without diagrams I think you’re just being “edgy”. The boob sizes are hilarious at time and probably fundraisers at times (see Mini Casmeer, bet that could make a lot of money if it was gem-only). But sometimes they look good, even on the larger sizes. I only made one female and that’s a Norn, and there I agree it’s super unnatural but they aren’t human so it makes lore-sense.
I am not talking about anatomy issues. I am talking about I dont want * anything * changing my height, weight, body type, bust line, foot size etc etc. I can’t stand stuff! I know my hands will make men tremble in fear with the slaps I could give but that is how they made the bodies. But it does not mean my body parts or my body in general should be changing form depending what outfit I pick out.
I wouldn’t mind at all though if they reworked the human bodies at one point though.
I’m pretty sure they don’t change, it’s just that different outfits change how they look.
If you’re female you can get the exact same effect in real life. (And if you’re male ask a woman about it.)
For example I’m a B cup and right now when I’m wearing an unwired, unpadded bra and a loose black t-shirt with a high neckline (it’s a ‘unisex’ band shirt, which basically means it’s a shapeless bag with sleeves) I look very flat chested. But if I went and changed into a decent bra and a shaped V-neck top I can make myself look like a C cup.
I can absolutely guarantee it’s not that the clothes are changing the actual size of my breasts*, it’s just creating that illusion by changing the position slightly and putting more emphasis on them. There are limits to how effective it is, but done right you can make them look at least one cup size bigger or smaller.
*Disclaimer – there are padded bras which will do this, by adding a layer of material over your boobs. But they’re an exception and not what I’m talking about here.
The same happens with my characters in game. I avoid putting certain armors on my norn because she’s already got the biggest model (both body in general and breasts) and in some of them she just looks ridiculous. At the other extreme my sylvari uses the skinniest, most flat chested model and every so often I’ll put new armor on her and go ‘woah, she has boobs!’. The actual model doesn’t appear to change, it is just that it’s a different style that makes them stand out more.
Correct! However, I think part of the problem is how they breasts are being displaced. If you happen to own it take a look at the pirate outfit. Given the size of my characters breasts * the 2nd biggest * just changing into that outfit from my ugly wash glove colored bra, the breast size changes a lot and does not make sense with the outfit.
I look like I appear at at least 2 cup sizes smaller and given how the outfit looks my breasts should definitly touching if not pressing together, and the should be proped up more which they are not. The problem is A they either failed at displacing the breasts correctly by maybe pushing the it into the sides of the outfit which dont make much since to me anyways in that outfit or B they simply just crush the breasts into the outfit and did not bother to modfiy them causing the size difference.
The Cherry Blossom Top * or any of the other tops that look like it * is another one where there is a fair amount of the bottom of the breasts displaced which would not be an issue if they breasts were made to be pressed together as the breasts are be pushed up and out, but the cleavage never changes leading to all that breast being push to the side which doesn’t work.
It amazes me how much issues breasts cause in real life and even in a game lol
Please keep in mind you should only submit 1 support ticket until it is closed. Submitting more than one ticket actually slows down the support process.
Also bumping this thread is not likely to resolve your problem.
Don’t get your hopes up. Last time I in a ticket regarding an item, they didn’t have the power to restore it or anything. I was specifically told by them they have no power over the content or coding in the game. Had this happen a regular item and another quest item that was part of the one time Karka event which I could not finish the questline ever because of this.
Yes only on one outfit, keep in mind IRL there is gravity.
I always pick the body type with the biggest bust size and quite frankly there is no H cup. D/E maybe, but certainly not H. Now, if this was Norn forum…
The one outfit that most prominently showcases a cleavage and makes an impression of “big bewbs” is Wizard’s coat (T3 light). I also get the same “big bewbs” impression from Stalwart Coat (personal story reward, medium) and Linen Garment (personal story reward, light, I believe it’s Student Coat or Country Coat).
I compared them by going to character selection screen, rotate them 90 degrees, and select the different characters while focusing on the torso they all are of the same size (all 3 characters have the same body type). Yes, I have that much curiosity. No, I’m not the nerd in the basement your jock buddy always joked about
Some armors do, in fact, change the bust size. The most practical example is Apprentice coat. Simply Equip/unequip it on your Hero window, you’ll see your character’s bust size magickally decrease while equipping the piece.
I stated in a different game there was an H cup with a specific outfit, not this game. Read my previous post to the one you quoted.
The bust size needs to be seperate from the body choices.
2nd I DO NOT LIKE my boobs changing size or anything else of my body/face when I put on different outfits. Another game change your breasts, torso, even footsize depending on what outfits I wore. Drive me nuts because I take a lot of care to make my character, I don’t like things being changed.
Norn is by far the better looking. The only thing preventing me to play one is how frigging tall they are and the running animation.
The running animation can only be fixed by having them run faster then everyone else. You cannot change this fact ever, it literally would take you altering reality itself to do it some other way.
Lets be honest. It’s a solo instance that you had to activate first. You had every chance to set up Fraps before starting the cut scene. Why would you activate the cut scene first, and then tab out of the game during the cut scene to go set up Fraps? If you miss a cut scene, because you decide to fiddle with a program during that cut scene, then it is 100% your fault that you missed it.
However what you can do, is simply make a new character and do the story mission with him/her. That should allow you to see the cut scene again I assume.
Tried that and doesn’t work. Also, they allowed replays in F and F so it was safe to assume that I could simply just rewatch it which is why i did it. If this was the normal game cutscene, I would of not done it because I know those do not replay.
Also, please don’t be rude it is uneeded. I am looking for helpful advice not to be insulted.
Main problem is that the SUPPORT yes, ANET support will link you wiki when you got questions… thereforth it is their fault for supporting a wiki they don’t manage but expect the information you need to be on there and correct… A company should never ever be referencing outside sources at part of their support. They themselves should have all the information you need.
Thanks! At least I can read what happened but I am tired of having to result to this and youtube to enjoy THIS GAME! The Karka event still leaves a very bad taste in my mouth with how much I was forced to miss cause of the bugs and servers. I was so excited about doing this and the OO one time only poop happens which I expected it to be like F and F and you could just reset the whole instance to see it again… sigh…
I’ve been pretty grumpy lately about this game with that horrible southsun story arc, then dragonbash seemed to be serving us up another dish of boring. But that cutscene, the Mr.E (Mystery) notes, Logan’s connection, Lady Kasmeer… Things are looking up.
This is how the story should be told- and the importance of cutscenes, they really help set the mood. Lets hope the detective quests are entertaining.
I’ll be watching that scene again on youtube. I wish there was a way to replay it in-game. maybe in the achievement panel instead of a chest there was a film clip icon so you can watch it again if you like.
Or if you LEAVE EARLY not knowing you cant rewatch it! I am not buying stuff off the store to watch GW2 stuff on youtube! I already missed most of the event with the Karkas with all the bugs and server failures! Now I miss this cause i wanted to set up fraps and left early? No thanks!
So I can seem to find a reset button for this scene again AND the scene with Kasmeer after either… or am I wrong and theres way to reset it cause right now I don’t even wanna continue this event if they actually failed to have a reset button like they had one with F and F…
With Majurory?! Great so I wanted to set up fraps cause I forgot, left early and miss out conversation between her and Kasmeer -_- and didn’t com,pletely pay attention to the cutscene itself thinking I can just rewarch it. Someone tell me you can reset the convey and the scene! Watching it on youtube is not why I buy stuff from the store >:O
Is it just me or is any mail related to this event that is from -E, deleting itself after you log off? So far the two have gone missing after I log all the way out and log back in later… Thanks!
