Today I try and play, even for the daily and get nothing, I play the correct notes and they are not recognised, I get booted. Something is seriously wrong, I normally need do nothing for the daily to get that yet it won’t work after attempting all the songs. At this rate I am never going to get the shoulders as I still need to play 300 correct notes.
That’s a latency issue, which seem to be very very very very common around now, yet for some reason the devs are keeping veeerrrry quiet about it.

LOL people commenting you should stop using the internet if you don’t want spoilers… how sensible. Maybe people just need to stop living if they don’t want spoilers too?
If I’ve seen a movie that I liked, I’ll want to talk about it. It’s not my fault that someone else is the one who doesn’t want spoilers. Have some common sense. Of course people are going to talk about it, and that’s not their problem. If the person with the issue has options to stop seeing potential spoilers, then utilise them and quit whining. There are more than enough options in-game for that already.

One thing that I guess they won’t admit is that their megaservers are tuned to permit WAY too much ppl. What is causing this massive lag is that the ip route they are using is either too busy or broken. If they set down the max number of players on a megaserver, this would work, but it would create the feeling that the game is empty.
I feel that this is the root of all the issues I’ve been having with latency. Any other MMO I’ve been just fine with my normal 300 ping. But then again those companies tend to be more open and communicative with their community too.

Also try to do a tracert on cmd.exe prompt. Get the Frostgorge (or any laggy) map ip by typing /ip in-game, then open the cmd.exe and type this:
tracert x.×.×.x (the ip you got)
This will show if your route is clean to Arenanet servers or not. Mine is always showing that a route server is missing between Miami and Arenanet (i’m in Brazil, btw), which is causing massive lags sometimes too.
All good and dandy, but what do I do with the information now I have it?

The “autodetect” option is changing my settings to mirror the “Best Appearance” option. While this may flatter my computer’s capabilities, it does not adequately reflect them. Previously the x32 client would ramp the settings up to max, which hurt the performance a bit. Since switching to the x64 client it’s been a lot better, up til recently (I couldn’t say exactly when).
Instead of adjusting the settings to the middle of the board like it used to, it just puts them all on max, which again hurts the performance more than it should, considering I’ve used “autodetect”.
Hoping this is something the devs are looking into, as this is not normal from what I’ve seen for the x64 client.

To OP, if you want a never ending Wintersday Karma farm, hop in the bells. I get 1.6K for each song.
Yep. I’ve been getting up to 2160 per song, as long as I have the booster that – funnily enough – the orphan daily gives me. Unfortunately the karmic infusion doesn’t work there though.

I have this bug. I’ve repeated the achievement “The Bells of Wintersday” 13 times, so I’ve maxxed out the AP that comes from it, yet it’s not ticked off on my list.
EDIT
It’s not just this repeatable achievement that’s not being counted. I also have the very same bug for “Toypocalypse Survivor”. I have finished it once, yet it’s not being counted towards the main achievement.
EDITEDIT
The exact same thing that happens for those two achievements also happen for the “Winter Wonderland Mastery” as well.

This is what you’ve been missing from that CIndeR has been trying to say. I never said that you said it was content. I’m merely pointing out the what you’re completely missing.
I completely agree that if actual game content were gated behind a platform, like part of a map or something then you would be absolutely right, I’d be right there with you. But there is nothing but a single skin designed to be acquired only by the most elite of us gated behind that platform…one skin…and people are losing their minds over that. Its ridiculous…
To get Winter’s Presence you are required to finish the winter jumping puzzle 3 times. I believe that would be a platforming requirement.
And how is Winter’s Presence part of the game world? Is it necessary to continue a Story? A Map? Access a Point of Interest, HP, or Vista? A Dungeon? A Fractal?
It’s a skin!
Not having Winter’s Presence does not in any way bar you from experiencing the game, so just like the other platforms which are a sideshow, just skip it.
Also, it helps if you quote the person you’re replying to, otherwise your comment can get lost.

One of the most enjoyable things in GW2 in my opinion is the customization to characters appearance.
That is still not content. This is not content locked behind other content. This is a skin locked behind content. Customising your characters appearance is not content. It’s enjoyable to do, yes. It is pretty much all the end-game we have, yes, but it is not content.

Lots of people are having issues with it. I start to load into the JP, get changed back to a DR loading screen, then have that until I alt+f4 the game.
Also, this should really be in the bugs subforum.

Stars Wars will be spoiled that’s simply the way things work, if it’s not here it will be somewhere else. Sorry it matters to you but I really doubt there is a TOS infraction for that.
This. I really hate it when people are so uptight about spoilers (which I go out of my way to find so I can enjoy other parts of the movie and not be worried about stuff like I’ll be less shocked and sad if a character I like died…if only I had some personal story spoilers when I started this game )
that’s your prerogative, but at the same time you should respect everyone who wishes to enjoy the film without ‘spoilers’, which… spoil the experience. hence the name. i truly believe anyone who intentionally spoils star wars for people is heartless and probably a very lonely individual.
Or you could just realise that the internet is full of kittens and – oh here’s a good idea – stay away from the internet if you don’t want spoilers. There are many options to block people or even turn off chat entirely.
You have more than enough options to deal with not wanting spoilers. Utilise them.

Like the title says, I went and killed Jorlag for the second time during wintersday, except this time when I got the loot, xp and chest, my achievement counter didn’t update.
The worst part is that I was stuck with 2.5k ping for the entire fight. And no, it wasn’t just me. Other people were complaining about insane ping spikes as well. I don’t believe that this is coincidence, as the same thing happened when the Mordrem invasion was going on, as well as it happening with “<area> event dailies” (although to a lesser extent).
I’ve been able to play with a 300 ping average on most any MMO, as I’m in rural Australia, so I put up and shut up. This is different. Since the game went F2P and with HoT coming out, my latency has shot up to 500+ ping average. This makes the game nigh on unplayable, and it’s really aggravating me that there’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve invested so much time and money into this game, and it’s seemingly all for nothing.

I get this too. The worst part is that whenever I try to enter it and the loading screen switches back to DR, I get stuck in an ENDLESS loading screen.
This wintersday is not a happy fun time at all.

So, what the OP wanted has been sorted out. The burning question is why? What possible rule infraction can be committed by spawning an NPC. (and it’s not that I want to do it – really)
Nope, I’ve yet to see where the OP said what s/he wanted. Could have been a few things.
45 characters, 20 level 80s, 11 impersonal story completions and counting.
Would have appreciated more information from the OP in the first post. After reading I’m still not entirely sure what it’s about. As far as I can see it could be about;
-Personal summoned NPCs from permanent contracts that can be interacted with but don’t open a window for players that didn’t summon them
-Items being spawned on top of NPCs that make players interact with the item/other “troll” NPC instead of the intended NPC.
Please OP, be specific. You can never give too much information, but here you haven’t given us any.

Just one spammer caught in the short time I’ve been playing the expac. He literally wouldn’t stop til I blocked him. That’s the max chat tab size, and there are plenty more pms before and after that.
Had three different ACCOUNTS pm-spam me the other day too.
Still need these privacy settings.

A Gm most likely will not reply because it’s for a game that this forum is not about. You will be able to get help over at the other forum I posted, even though there are no gms there. You can get help from other players, believe it or not, and that forum is full of people who still play.

I understand being frustrated because of an event that won’t spawn or bugs out for precursor collections (the Minstrel is driving me mad because players can’t do Tootsie since the break bar has been introduced), but nowhere in those pictures do I see anyone explaining why they want the person “griefing” to stop.
They may not intentionally be griefing. They may not know English. They may not even have chat on (I know I don’t most of the time).
All I know is that Anet have made changes to ensure people didn’t express this kind of behaviour to fail events, yet they introduced collections that NEED people to fail events to complete? Like seriously, get your kitten together. That’s the big thing that puzzles – and enfuriates – me. Talk about hypocritical actions.
45 characters, 20 level 80s, 11 impersonal story completions and counting.
Best advice at this point is don’t bother until Anet get around to fixing it.
Would love to see this happen very very soon. I’m disappointed and rather angry that I’ve bought a product with content I can’t complete due to things that are completely out of my control.

Is it just me, or was this fight buffed? I was able to kill her no problem the first time through, then I had issues with bugs at the last part after summoning all my allies. This time through on the same character, same build, same gear, I’m having so much trouble. Her stacks are always under 2, but I’ve died twice trying to get this done.
45 characters, 20 level 80s, 11 impersonal story completions and counting.
There has been a couple of other posts since this one was made (notably after free accounts came along…) asking for the same or similar. So surely Anet must be aware these extra options are still needed and being called for.
Sooooo, with that said, I still support this!
Yeah this was part of the reason I decided to necro it. The other being that I’m still wanting to see where the devs are with this.
I still 100% maintain that there is no reason to not have privacy settings.

Would still love to see this system overhauled, as with the new “feature” of being able to see party and guild members anywhere on the map, it is even EASIER for people to tell when you’re just appearing offline.

Does anyone have any clue as to where one obtains the ingredient item “Indigo Mushrom” from? I need 5 for the Quiche of Darkness for the Minstrel precursor collection. The tooltip says it’s “A rare mushroom found in mushroom patches”, but gather as I might, no Indigo Mushrooms are to be found.
Does this item actually exist, or is it yet another thing I have to wait for a fix for to progress my legendary precursor collection?
45 characters, 20 level 80s, 11 impersonal story completions and counting.
I’m working on a few Legendary collections at the moment. Currently I cannot complete my first tier Minstrel collection because of a bugged event.
Recipe: Drottot’s Poached Egg is the item I need, yet when I complete his events – which is the only thing stopping him from selling his items – his dialogue doesn’t update to sell items to you.
I’ve heard of a few other events that are collection-releated being bugged as well (the infamous “Protect krewe leader Dobbs as the krewe clears the excavation site” is a good example for one).
My grief with this is why implement something brand new that we can’t complete by not having these events/merchants fixed? I just want to make my legendaries!

ahh thanks, just posted about this in another thread. That’d explain why my druid didn’t get anything. Will just have to get some Hero Points on my other ranger to start unlocking theirs.
Hopefully this will be fixed by the time I get around to doing that though lol.
45 characters, 20 level 80s, 11 impersonal story completions and counting.
I got this on my ranger when starting Druid as well. Everything else I’ve started training (reaper, tempest, chrono, scrapper and daredevil) all gave me the achievements.
It might also be worth noting that the druid was the only one I started training in the PvP lobby.

Hitting a max of 12 KB/s, and been sitting on the screen saying “Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…” for about 10 minutes. I’m able to stream videos, chat on ts and play another game online with no issues.
Would like someone to please feed server hamsters. Having a billion people trying to download the same files at the same time would need more support than the poor hamsters are getting.
EDIT:
This worked for me;
Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 folder. By default, this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2.
Right-click on “GW2.exe” and select “Create Shortcut.”
Right-click the shortcut and select “Properties.”
In the “Target” line, put whatever is currently there inside quotation marks, then add a space and -assetsrv 174.35.71.9:80 at the end.
This upped me from ~12 KB/s to about 80 KB/s. Not much better, but still better than getting connection errors all the time.
I certainly hope there’s no plans for this. Getting the waypoints are easy enough as it is. There’s no need to spoon-feed players who are already level 80 with even MORE ways to get things easier than they’ve already worked for.
It is not hard to get waypoints – at all. It’s even quite profitable if you go around and gather everything you see while grabbing them. Not talking map completion, just gathering what you see as you travel.
