Guild Wars 2

JonPeters.5630:

Ok we found a good repro case. It has to do with how death shroud and downed used to interact. I will get someone on it today and try and get a fix to you all asap.

Yes, thank you!

Great video! Any more evidence we can get is helpful, assuming that a Dev is even lurking in this part of the forums.

Ruruuiye.8912:

There has got to be some internal reason they’re pointedly ignoring this.

“Felt” is not proof of the bug lacking existence. If members can take the time to mathematically find the evidence of the necro’s downed health, then surely a dev can spare a couple of minutes. We don’t even know if Jon Peters was in a level 80 zone, WvW, or even if PvP (because it works in PvP). Sigh…

Panhauramix.2784:

Latest news: Seems Jon Peters tested it and felt there was no bug…… Even after proof on our side that there is indeed a problem with our downed health.

We really need to bring this to light and have answers to our questions. If there’s no bug, can Anet please show us the number? I’m really sorry but I do die a lot faster, and cannot withstand a simple 2v2 or even 1v1 on my necro if I go down, and 2v2 are a joke to survive on all my other professions. It does need fixing.

Please keep it up there!

Is there a link to somewhere where Jon Peters tested this? Every single player in the game that has tested it has said there are problems, and I’m wondering how he isn’t seeing it.

I’m not really too worried about when the first expansion pack will be released… Fortunately, I have still have a lot to do and I am glad that they are doing well that making one isn’t of urgency. Guild Wars 1 had some really amazing EPs though, so I’m sure they’ll do an excellent job when they finishing fixing the major core problems. It will hopefully be worth the wait!

Perhaps I am also “misuing” the term casual, but I wouldn’t call myself a casual player… I typically can only play a couple of hours on the weekend, and I have no level 80 characters yet despite getting the game at release, but I definitely do have in-game goals and I get pretty into the game content (rp, buying gems, etc.). I don’t play very often, due to time constraints as a college student, but I wouldn’t call myself a casual player. As others have said, I don’t think time equates whether a player is casual or not.

And time for a Friday bump! (unless this has been fixed since I’ve been gone)

Bumping, still hoping for some kind of Dev response (even a… “We are aware of the issue” would suffice!)

Kyllaa.1385:

Thanks for posting that Andrea, didn’t have time to search for it before. But there you go.

And sometimes a moderator is all we’re good enough to get… at least they’re active on these forums, unlike the Mac client forums lol.

Ah, back when I used a Mac computer… Fan sites were always more helpful haha.

I hope we get more than just a moderator response. If we reach 100 posts without a dev, I’ll be pretty surprised.

Hey all!

I have no idea if I can ask this here. I checked out the GW1 support forum, and it was pretty empty… (I’ve never used the GW1 forums).

Regardless, I bought GW2 in August, and I tried linking my two accounts up. At the time, my laptop had just broken so I didn’t have access to GW1 (which was at home while I was at college). I didn’t have HoM anyway, so I just continued the game.

Well, I downloaded GW1 onto my new computer and I finally decided I wanted to play it again. I log in, and unfortunately it says my password is incorrect. It’s been over a year since I’ve played… I tried every possible password I could think of, and it just isn’t working. It told me to go to the the GW1 forum support for help, and etc. etc. I’m coming here.

TL;DR: I’d like to link my GW2 and GW1 account, but I can’t remember the password for the first game. Any help/tips? It’s technically GW1, so I wasn’t sure I should file a ticket. Thanks guys!

Edit: It’s possible I may even have the wrong e-mail address. Oh boy lol.

They replied to this on the WvW forums as mention in this thread previously.

A moderator replied. I think a dev response would be more appropriate.

I couldnt find that post funnily enough. Would like some acknowledgement that they are aware of the bug on this thread tbh.

Bumping, because it should be addressed.

Turkashi.4502:

PETA is not amused with your suggestion. Anet can’t handle that much naked women with a billboard in front of their office.

I’m not sure PETA would appreciate the frog juicer either… lol.

There have been some posts in the suggestions forums suggesting that rather than making it a material grind, ANet should have made it a storyline/quest mission instead to achieve legendaries, for example. I would definitely prefer this.

ANet has replied to threads with less posts….

Bumping, bug hasn’t been fixed in today’s patch.

I would certainly appreciate a dev response. We were able to get a moderator response in the WvW forum, but that isn’t quite the same as a dev saying, “Hey we know this bug exists!”

IndigoSundown.5419:

There’s a bigger issue than the want/don’t want continuum. ANet is implementing duels in the mists, that cost money. What’s their incentive to make it free so that no one would pay to duel?

Unless ANet makes it free in the mists (not likely to happen), then it pretty much means free open world dueling isn’t going to happen (unless they set up some kind of fee upon accepting a duel).

I would support open world dueling if there were pre-designated areas not near waypoints. Otherwise, people will create their own and probably interrupt everyone else’s game play.

Was the new condition supposed to come out with this patch? (at work, so no idea lol)

Edit: Yeah, I didn’t think it was supposed to come out today.

For me, it entirely depends on what the content is. If Fractals were intended to be temporary, then I would insist that they were permanent. However, the upcoming dungeon is intended to be temporary. It makes sense. I love the game being a constantly changing, literally living breathing world… And having some temporary content is nice for that. I kind of wished that SAB was permanent. I think Halloween and Wintersday were excellent examples of temporary content. I won’t be able to participate in this dungeon, and most likely the achievements, but I’m okay with that.

I do wish we were able to get an additional permanent dungeon in Southsun Cove, but oh well. I’d say, it depends… But my vote would go towards temporary in general.

I agree. I’ve seen complaints before that ANet should post announcements on official websites (the forum and their main website), not secondary websites. I don’t use twitter/reddit/GW2Guru. I should be able to get my news on the forums and the main website.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/New-dungeon-not-open/first#post1928826

Already another thread on it.

I sincerely hope they fixed the down HP aspect, but didn’t mention them in the notes. A fix to the minion AI would have been nice, but really I just want the downed HP fixed. :P Otherwise, I’m pretty much not surprised with the results. It is, as Roe said, pretty much what they said in SOTG. If it’s true that next month’s major patch is going to be for bug fixes, than we better make sure that these two big fixes get on that list.

Does anybody know how long the achievements/titles will be available for? (Unless the date is the same as for the dungeon).

Too bad, I have finals up until next Friday, so I probably won’t be able to try the dungeon. Hope it’s fun for everyone else though!

I agree with Donari. I think in-game surveys would be a good way of reaching the majority of the player base, as long as the pop ups weren’t intrusive. Maybe it would be sent as an in-game mail?

You need to check the game during prime time – not a lot of people in NA play at 6:30 in the morning!

That said, Tarnished Coast (TC) always has players. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s gotten even more busy the last several weeks.

Melchior.2135:

Play on Tarnished Coast. The cities are RPer paradise, and are packed constantly. Except Ebonhawke, which doesn’t see as much RP due to the risk of Events spawning in the middle of your RP scene.

Agreed. I love it on TC for this reason. Going into DR and you’re pretty much bombarded with people talking… Even Hoelbrak is pretty busy with RPers!

That said, I really hope they introduce city minigames.

I don’t know about other people, but I feel more “in” the world (such as Skyrim) while running or walking through, rather than riding my horse. As a collectible, I can see the appeal… But I’d rather they work on mini-pet collectibles first.

ShadyNZL.9018:

Yeah same thing happened to me – A nice surprise though when you figure it out! Now I wish there was a spot for those dubloons (the MF ones – platinum and the like) I think they are called… oh and dungeon tokens while you’re at it =)

Happened to me as well. I mentioned it in passing in the map chat, and a ton of people offered suggestions on how to recover it. Imagine my embarrassment when I noticed they were indeed deposited into the collectibles. :P

I’m glad you didn’t actually lose them!

I was pretty baffled when I first found out that I couldn’t use my flesh golem under water. That does need to be fixed (and only have 1 elite skill that can be used underwater? What happened there?)

Wayfarer Foothills is definitely my favorite. They did an amazing job on all of the Norn zones.

Second favorite would probably be Queensdale.

This isn’t ever going to happen.

Two Steps from Hell provides for some pretty epic moments, and it really pumps me up for the higher-level zones/more difficult content.

Meglobob.8620:

I have got good news for everyone, the devs said in the state of the game video (which I just watched)…

Does anyone have a link to this video?

I’ve experienced this problem a number of times in PvE, especially with my flesh golem. I’ve stopped playing with minions altogether because they’re pretty unreliable.

Hey all!

I really don’t know much about the game economy, and this is probably a pretty obvious question but…

Does ANet benefit at all from allowing us to purchase gems through in-game gold? I think this is a really amazing feature, but I am curious!

I think personal storage would indeed have to be limited, so as not to act as a free additional “bank tab” (as much as I would like it, it’s not going to happen. Additional bank tabs cost money, and adding a free one just ruins the chances of one being purchased). What kind of personal keepsakes are you talking about specifically? (curious)

I would love, love for them to have a wardrobe though. If/when player housing comes, they need to have a wardrobe for our additional armors and costumes!

Retsuko.2035:

Doomguard.5094:

Player housing is already being worked on, guild halls as well.

Can you link a reliable source to proof your statement?

Garuna.1593:

Doomguard.5094:

Player housing is already being worked on, guild halls as well, we already have relationships with renowned hearts npcs, and cross class combos are also present in the game…

I never read nothing of arenet talk about houses, and relationships in GW2 are so superficial, the only relationship is to make a heart and buy items from them

Player housing has been mentioned since before release.

As have been Guild Halls:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/What-happened-to-Guild-Halls/first#post1228182

Now whether or not they are working on them, I’m not sure.

I don’t really see any problem with this, and as someone who actually looks at the news in the game client, I would use this.

I would definitely love to have more skill options. I find that the utility skills are actually pretty decent in variety, especially when compared to the weapon skills (which are pretty bland). A happy medium between GW1 and GW2 would be perfect.

As for the zones, and having only really played GW1 and Skyrim, I wonder how that persistent world would feel… On the other hand, not only would that require game mechanics but it would also mess up the lore a little bit (Asuran portals, etc.).

RuneCrimson.7380:

I achieve nothing I get my butt kicked by level 10 creatures and I am a level 23 with all skills I can get and upto date weapons and armour its nearly impossible and if its the same thing as a level 80 then why even level? I fight my butt off as if I am still a level 1 the gear does nothing the weapons do nothing and the skills are just as nerfed at level 10 as they are at leve l23 in a level 10 area. Nothing I do is helping nothing I try helps I am forced to get someone to help me and that just takes from my exp and loot cause I have to split it all when most of the time people just stand off to the side getting in one hit and watching me die.

This game was designed so that everyone gets the same experience and loot when killing enemies. Loot and experience is not shared between players.

So glad someone finally responded and hopefully the devs are now aware.

It may be that I just don’t understand the mechanics behind daily resets, but I don’t see why they can’t reset based on your own time zone. That would make more sense to me. (I’m also on the east coast 3/12 months of the year, so I understand your pain)

Perhaps not good enough for a Necromancer, but I would love a cooler lich form. :P

Otherwise, I think this is a great idea! Sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

Please don’t add open-world dueling to WvW… as Seera said, this would just block out the players who want to actually play WvW.

Bumping, because it is indeed important. Some kind of response would be better than none.

Nay of the Ether.8913:

One side note though: leeching does work,and bloodthirst seems to work too, about the only trait that does. Because if no one is hitting me, I can rally off #1 skill alone, and while I shudder to think this….it may be why they deemed our downed hp lower.

I noticed this as well. Skill #1 pretty much always gets me to rally if I’m fighting in a group and the enemy is focusing on someone else. However, if I am soloing PvE (which is what I do), and an enemy is hitting me, I pretty much never rally.

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

First thing to do: Balance Classes
Second thing: Bring more utilities und build-variation.
Third thing: Add new Classes.

A new class likely won’t happen until the first game expansion, and hopefully by the time they even start talking about an expansion… Those first two things will be fixed (plus some major bugs).

I would love a Paragon-related class to be added. I was just thinking the other day that we do need one more heavy armor class, and I think this is a great suggestion.
