Guild Wars 2

Don’t worry, Mad King will be back.

He won’t let Scarlet, or anyone, take his holiday.

I use a USB mouse, and this happens a lot, especially on turret duty during the Tequatl event… It always liked to retarget on nearby creepers or fingers rather than staying where I want it to stay.

Yep, I noticed this yesterday. Glad I’m not the only one!

Allisa Wonderland.8192:

There is a thread about this in game bugs. The suggestion is that it comes from not being directly involved in the mega laser phases. If you spent all your time doing turret duty…

I’m not so sure about that…

I’ve been on turret during the event the past couple of days. I usually turn around and help kill something, like a nearby champion who just so happens to be in range. Every single time, I have always received some form of credit for participating in the mega laser event (such as getting the bronze reward). I still do not receive the chests despite technically participating. Regardless, this is frustrating.

I don’t really understand why everyone is getting mad at the OP. I didn’t read that post as asking everyone to post in English. I read it as, “Can I filter it so I only see the English LFG’s” because the OP specifically does not want to join a group that s/he would not understand. Sure, you can just ignore, but it’s not such an unreasonable request. Just as maybe someone who only speaks German wouldn’t want to see a bunch of English LFG’s, or a bunch of French ones. If the OP is, however, suggesting that only English should be spoken in the LFG… Then yeah, that’s a problem. A filter should be added, but people should also be allowed to speak what they want.

Also, I don’t think people who speak English are too lazy to learn another language. I think language classes in the American education system just suck lol.

TheDeparted.8013:

It looks like you have the graphics settings on “Best Performance”. If that’s the case, avatars will always display this way. It’s the systems way of trying to improve your performance by limited load-times on character models.

I have tested this on best appearance. With the recent patch, my game crashes almost everytime I do this (although before Teqautl, I could play on max settings with pretty much no problems, even with world bosses) so this is quite frustrating. However, the couple of times it does work, the armor does not change on any of the characters.

Is it the new culling? If so, any way I can turn that off? lol

You can get it without killing him.

If your server is okay with it, just have a main focus on protecting the turrets and it’s pretty easy to get. Have a tiny zerg attacking, but most people on the turrets.

Hey guys!

Since the first patch after the Teqautl event, I’ve noticed that every character appears to be wearing the same gray armor. I associated it with some possible lag issues at Teq (although I did not always have this problem at the Teqautl Rising event). Yesterday, I finally told one of my friends who said it was probably the pre-character avatar. When I said it was still there, I realized that may be a problem.

How do I go back to normal? Changing my graphic settings doesn’t seem to change anything. I really don’t like staring at everyone with ugly gray armor. My armor, and NPCs, look fine. Thank you!

Killing tequatl with a guild on an overflow doesn’t really count as an overflow kill.

JustTrogdor.7892:

One big problem in overflow is people don’t care and they stand there AFK. Then they get killed and someone actually playing gives them a rez taking away resources from the fight. Wash and repeat until the timer goes down.

Which is exactly what needs to change. =/ What I saw today proved that it is possible, but with all of the afkers who just don’t care (more than what you would find in a regular server), is the main reason we lost. Our organization could have used more work for sure, but it went pretty well considering. If people put effort into overflows like they do in their home servers, they may actually win.

Hey guys!

No, we did not defeat Tequatl. I’ll start by saying that.

I do, however, want to give a pretty big congratulations to the overflow we had. We had no TS, and no guild influence, etc. Just a group of really random people who manage to get him very close to 50%.

I think one of the biggest problems with overflows, aside from lack of TS/vent… Is that people are not willing to try in overflow because they assume they can never win. Let’s face it… Right now, it’s near impossible for a lot of us to get to our main server. So let’s take advantage of what we have and try to actually make it work, and it probably can.

Great job guys!

Shakki.3219:

but ive seen also rare dragon chests on other screenshots so there is definately something wrong or…?

like in the screenshot of the Kodasch thread:

https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/105685/gw004.jpg

i never got a rare dragon chest oO

Just to be sure, you get those chests when you open those bigger chests. It’s basically an item that is kept in your inventory until you “open” or “consume” it.

Thanks for all of the clarifications, guys!

I had figured that they were mixed server, but what makes me more curious about it is when there is a large portion of one particular server in an overflow. Such as a lot of TC players, or in the case yesterday, one of our TC players was in an overflow with a lot of BG people. I’m just curious how it gets grouped that way, but I suppose it really is just random.

Thanks again!

Romek.4201:

and we rez with warriorbanners and have rotations for it

Why is that the only rez skill anybody ever mentions…

I always bring “Signet of Undeath” on my Necromancer – revives 3 downed allies. But yeah, banners are the only ones ever mentioned haha.

Aajolea.8132:

When selling you select price then ‘sell’, so why is there an extra redundant function of ‘ok to select? As item gone with ’sell’. So ‘ok’ seems to serves no purpose to me other than slowing the process down waiting on the system to allow me to sell a new thing.

The TP and the game both lag and crash every once in a while (or for some, quite frequently). This is a safety measure that ANet added. People would be making a lot more complaints if they accidentally sold something without this “Ok” button. It slows the process down, but it protects ANet, and players, from player mistakes.

runeblade.7514:

No.

I completely disagree, I don’t want a zoo wars 2.

If you want a “sign of wealth,” Click on it manually every time.

I don’t understand how having a mini pet slot would be “zoo wars 2”…?

It is incredibly frustrating that my mini pet stows itself every time I rezone. If this slot would solve that problem, I’d be all for it.

Hey guys!

I hope someone can answer…

I’m wondering how overflows work. Obviously, if the server is capped out you are thrown into an overflow. Is this overflow specific to that server, or is this overflow for the entire game? I ask because the times I have been in overflow, it seems most players there are trying to get to the same place – my server, however not everyone. Does anybody know? Thanks. ^^

Tentonhammr.7849:

This isn’t a Blackgate problem, it’s a problem for the entire community and it will continue to plague this event until Anet does something to address guesting and overflow servers. I can’t get into the main flow map on Kaineng. Kaineng. Idk what our exact population # is compared to BG but we all know its a helluva lot lower. There are too many people trying to do this event at once and its driving a wedge between the players who are ready, willing, and able to organize and communicate and make a serious go of it. We have dedicated Kaineng TS server, and my guild alone had 45 people partied up and ready to go last night. 5 of us made it to the main flow and the rest got sent to no less than 3 different overflows. BG and TC and some of the other larger severs undoubtedly have the coverage and organization to kill him if people don’t make the main flow, but smaller servers don’t.

We haven’t gotten Teq past 75% yet, and that’s not gonna change if these problems persist. I love the new fight and the new challenge. I want to kill him. But I want to do it on my server with my guild and my friends. I’m not gonna guest on BG just to leech and get it done.

Camping a map for hours on end is not the answer. None of us should have to do that.

I didn’t mean for it to sound like it was just a problem for Blackgate. I just have firsthand experience with Blackgate since I am part of that server. However I do believe Blackgate probably has it worse than any other server because we are highly populated and the first server to complete Tequatl…but of course I don’t know that for sure. All I know is that it’s a problem.

I’d argue that TC is probably on par with BG in terms of over-population.

Doesn’t really count when just about everything there is in the same TKS Guild. :P

Good job nonetheless!

I know you need to swim down when he applies his vortex, and maybe it’s me, but it never really lets me swim down… It just sort of makes my character stop moving. I use CTRL to try to find it but I can never find this box. Am I totally missing this? lol

A lot of people in my Guild will advertise for dungeon runs and include, “will be watching cutscenes” or something as well. Most people really won’t care, especially if you give them a warning. It’s much better than being forced to watch the cutscene. At least I can skip and check my inventory or dance or something lol.

100% support. World boss rewards if you’re on your server only….the guesting feature was designed so that people can play with friends from other servers…this is just taking advantage of it. As someone mentioned earlier, the low population wouldn’t even be much of a problem if guesting was removed (or at least restricted) because the people who would be guesting would now actually be playing on their server, unless they really wanted to play with a friend.

How am I supposed to even get world bosses then? If I try to do them during offhours on my server I’m the only one there half the time. Did the golem today with five other people. My server allegedly has a “high” population.

Maybe everyone on your server is guesting and that’s why it seems to have a low population? What happens if people can’t get world boss rewards from other servers and are forced to stay in their own server? I imagine it would get a little busier.

They shouldn’t get rid of guesting.

Instead, they should make the world boss rewards unavailable to anybody guesting. Then, they need to scale world bosses so that lower-pop servers can do it without complaining about being a lower-pop server.

How thoughtful of you. You do realize without guesting many low population servers will never be able to get this done, don’t you?

And if ANet scaled the events based on the population, your problem wouldn’t be numbers but rather lack of organization. I could be wrong, but I actually do think they scale the world bosses…

There are a lot of people who can’t get into their server on TC.

TC had well over a dozen different guilds working together to defeat Teq.

Tarnished Coast has defeated Teq!

Ewon.5903:

Has anyone gotten close since Blackgate’s success last night?

TC did last night. We got him to about 10-15% with a couple of seconds left.

So much fun with TC last night. I’m sure we can get him tonight!

The LFG looked great on twitch. I’m super excited for this to be added into the game!

+1.

I definitely support this.

I spent 100g on greatswords to throw into the mystic forge for fun (to see if I could get Dusk). Unfortunately, each greatsword was in the 60 level range and therefore completely useless. Selling them, I think I made a little over 12g of it back.

That same day, I put 100 or so transmutation stones on a character and deleted that character and all of my transmutation stones. Bad idea. :P

Hey guys!

So I run with a dagger/warhorn for my Necro. I used to have Superior Sigil of Perception applied to both weapons, but realized that it was relatively pointless as it simply stacked to 25 too quickly. I changed the warhorn to a Superior Sigil of Accuracy. Now, I was hoping I could get some more power in my build by changing the Sigil of Accuracy to a Superior Sigil of Bloodlust… So I bought one and I applied it to my warhorn. I now have both Superior Sigils active, however when I kill a foe, only the Superior Sigil of Perception is working. Can it only stack one type at a time? Thank you.

Hello!

I know this topic has been done before, but seeing as the search function does not work correctly, I was not able to find the topic…

Can ANet please allow pets to continue to be in use while changing zones? I would run around with my mini pets more frequently if I wasn’t forced to constantly re-equip them. Aside from wanting mini-bet brawls of some sort, or even being able to nickname your pets, I really, really want this to be implemented above everything else.

Thanks!

I would pay money for minion skins… They could be like dyes – you buy the skin, and they remain permanently unlocked on that character so you can revert to previously purchased/obtained skins in the future. I would run around with Halloween inspired, Wintersday inspired minions during the holiday events.

Azraeel.1238:

Power build, killed him easily. Even the meat achievement was easy. I basically focused on the pet and took all the meat before it reached them. After a while you will do amazing damage. Axe/Focus (30/10/0/0/30)

Once I got the hang of it, this was the build that I used as well with dagger/warhorn. I managed to keep a very consistent cripple/chill on the dog with Signet of Locust and caught the meat first each time. Focus on the dog, but watch the Norn carefully for when he throws meat!

You know the elevators in the Grove? That’s what I was expecting…

A short, pretty cinematic of my character in the balloon before the loading screen to DR. Now that shouldn’t have been very difficult.

Is this the change that no longer allows you to survive falls when in Death Shroud?

Yep.

Well that’s disappointing, though understandable. :P Thanks!

Is this the change that no longer allows you to survive falls when in Death Shroud?

BlueSoda.6297:

Okay, just found one, he was at Stone Pines Waypoint in Dredgehaunt cliffs. This is the only one I’ve ever seen spawn, odd…

If I remember correctly, I think this champion was was either in Dredgehuant or Lornar’s Pass. We only fought one of him.

Afya.5842:

TNoD.8143:

It is beatable by every class. Every class has a condition build/DPS build/Tanky build/Dodgy build.

They’ve stated you might need to change your build within your class

I’d like to know the dodgy build for necro.

As would I.

This has happened to me as well, on a PC.

I voted around 120 times.

Lucky.9421:

Vertuno.3465:

Eventually we’ll get both fractals, it has been stated. What annoys me is the “good guys always win” cliché :\

This is wrong. They said they will NOT do the loosing fractal.

With enough whining and pleading, however, they may (I believe was also said). I’m hopeful that Abbadon will somehow make its way.

I know quite a few people who voted assuming that we were going to get both fractals at one point, and therefore didn’t take fractals into consideration… Just because Kiel won does mean that her fractal was preferred.

Brutalistik.6473:

Denial Of Service.5732:

It may sound like a controversial thread, i did voted for Kiel but that doesnt mean i (or the huge majority of the voters) went "hurr hurr kitten kitten BOOBs1!1!1

It means WE as a majority selected what we tought would be the most fittest character to that position and thats what voting means, the majority selects a leader.

i can assure you people voted for kiel mainly because Evon looked to shady and corrupted, (sounded like every politician IRL).

i think the votes went because Lore not rewards lets get real you only voted for Evon because a fractal that gives you memory of gw1 not because Evon so stop acting kitten because Kiel won because people voted for Kiel because they LIKED her.

What makes you think she’s not going to turn out to be the same?

This.

Donner.6293:

I don’t wanna know how much gold people will unnecessarily lose because of this new “feature”.

They’ll lose gold through their stupidity, laziness or because they’re in a rush, NOT because of this great new feature.

Or because the Trading Post very frequently glitches and lags for me, and other players, in recent patches.

Quarktastic.1027:

bewhatever.2390:

Quarktastic.1027:

I don’t understand this post. Why do you need a one man guild to manage your gold? If you didn’t know that you could deposit gold in your bank, you do now. And if you have so much gold that you hit the gold cap, I don’t know what to say…other than you have way too much gold and should send me a couple thousand to get myself a legendary.

The ability to store gold in the bank goes away. What you used to have in the bank is added to what was in your inventory (and the inventory of all the characters on an account), and the total of all of those appears in the inventory of each character on the account. Make sense now?

I suppose, but all that means to me is “I’ll have to pay more attention when clicking through a merchant’s inventory.”

I don’t see any reason to be up in arms about it.

With how often the TP lags and glitches on me recently since the Aetherblade patch, this new “gold feature” worries me.

Let’s say it’s unavoidable to make your character the “true” hero…

I’d be more than happy to be Tybalt’s side-kick, because at least I like him.

From the upcoming release of our brand spanking new Looking for Group (LFG) tool

I am definitely looking forward to the second half of the year, especially the ability to change the stats of legendary gear.

Aside from really wanting an Abbadon fractal… Am I the only one who wants Evon to win because I think it would just be more interesting? Sure, RP wise my character would vote for Kiel… But that just seems too easy.
