Guild Wars 2

Bubblebath.2849:

I am having the same problem. invis to offline/ tried having myself kicked and reinvited/ tried relogging etc still cannot see guild chat but my guild can see me chat what is going on!

are you by any chance using another chat tab different than the Main (left most one)?

if you are, try putting guild chat into the Main tab and use it

I hope they will improve/fix Howler in the HoT expansion (with the old pre skins changes and new legendaries)

yeah. this has been happening recently.

For example: in southsun, the camp with the champ karka, i was standing on the bridge and relog to try to find another map, and it automatically put me back into the middle of Lion’s Arch. They have “improved” their collision detection algorithm. It’s pretty buggy now.

Another example: at the same camp, this time I was in the camp, not on the bridge, relog and it put me at the WP south east of map.

find a tree in Lion’s Arch.

set collision sensitivity at default.
Move the camera so that it hits the tree and zooms in on you. Now move the slider and see how the camera goes through the tree

Had a great time : )

That ele on the left is uhm… flying? :o
(reattach the image for reference)

I save 4 stacks in bank. then I destroy any i get after. no regret because they’re just that easy to get.

for crafting, it is a rather expensive activity to do. It’s like an end game activity. I dont suggest you craft whenever you have mats. You should craft whenever you are ready to craft to max level.
I use this website as guide for crafting. It shows you the cost to max the craftings.

I made this argument before that Xmutation charges were a “second paywall” but…. DLC lovers and people who love to throw money away disagreed and bashed on me.

I’m all for supporting a company. I’m also all for consumer rights as well. It’s not like we’re asking for a game breaking change here

I hate DLC and I dont throw money away (havent paid for gem for a year)
the xmutation charge system doesnt even bother me because of how easy you can get them in game. I think of the charges as something I earn in game, not a “second paywall”

Pat Cavit.9234:

One decimal place is ok, two starts getting into the limitations of IEEE floats and the calls to the API get turned into nonsense.

Thus a request for 80.82 gold worth of gems returns “2” instead of something sensical. The trade happens entirely on the server and will deduct/deposit the correct amounts, it just won’t match up with the now-goofy UI state.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Gem-Exchange-What-is-wrong-with-this

it’s just a display bug. The amount u will get is still correct despite wrong display, as also mentioned in the reddit post.

didnt they already fix this? :/

I just open them to unlock the skin/color of any skin that I dont have.

Then I just delete the armor piece.

ahh kitten it
i didnt notice the necro-ing

AegisRunestone.8672:

/dig? LOL! No way, man.

that’s what that_shaman found lol

Emotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2z9aiz/datamining_upcoming_features_from_the_hot_closed/

the data-mining shows that there will be a /dig emote coming soon lol

Arikyali.5804:

You can make your own emotes. Type /emote insert whatever you want here.

you can also use “/me whatever-you-want-here”, which has the same effect but shorter

example: /me kicks you
if I do that, it will show as: Larxene Rakushinu kicks you

mathias.8072:

Add -autologin option to your shortcut.

^that

right click on gw2 shortcut and add -autologin
it should look like this
“D:\Games\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -autologin

Plaxhaggvik.6304:

Jesus now then when i finally get in thanks to NTDK.4897. I can’t talk to any of my guildies beacuse I’m apparently not in a guild >.<. When will Anet do something right for once?

lol that is another ongoing bug

you have to set your status (in friend list panel) to invisible, then set it back to online to fix the guild bug.
You need to do that every time it happens. But better just do it everytime you log out or switch character.

There’s a rare chance you may crash when setting to invisible (another new bug). But so far I havent gotten it.

florida.7540:

I have the same problem since yesterday. Do not see any buttons nor can I press any “invisible” ones. So I am stuck at that stage.

check to see if your internet is having a download. The launcher may still downloading, so there is not a Play button yet.
Or temporary remove sweetfx or gemfx so you can see the update progress. Then set it to autoplay and put them back.

do you use sweetFX or gemFX?

the initializing may just be an UI bug. It just covers the launcher. The launcher may still working in the background. check your internet to see if there is currently a download.
Hover your mouse over where the log in and start buttons are, see if you mouse cursor change, and try to click it

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/SweetFX-and-Initializing-SOLVED/first#post4886821

try this to skip the launcher UI

If you skip the launcher with command line switches you can get the game to launch even with sweetfx d3d9.dll in the bin folder and retain sweetfx functionality

-autologin -nopatchui -email YOUREMAILHERE -password YOURPASSWORDHERE

A guy in other post, posted this

BrandonBandicoot.3968:

It turns out the if you click on the initializing screen where the login button SHOULD be, you’ll log in.

I have autostart enabled but I bet if you click the areas where login and launch game are you should be able to get the game to launch.

It’s like the buttons are there but they didn’t load in.

SweetFX is still working. You can put the 3 files back into bin folder.

Only the UI got bugged. If you hover your mouse to where the Log In and Play buttons are, you can see the cursor change, you can click them to get in game like normal.

And if you set it as auto-play, you will get into game just fine.

thief pistol offhand wins hand down

why do you want to deposit gold into personal bank? it makes no sense now that we have wallet.

I did this puzzle a few times and I never saw them not being there, or heard about it.
hmmm

there are some rare case items that have same name but are actually different (different internal identifier) and cannot be stacked.

Your Fish Steaks are most likely one of those rare cases.

that seems like normal behavior to me.

You cant say map is full or not based on how active it is. There are afkers, people checking lfg to find a map, people that do story, jumping puzzles, collect badges, etc. etc.

Andred.1087:

I’m gonna go ahead and call total BS that you’ve done them every single day since release. I would be shocked to find a single human being that has done this.

In any case, the devs have clearly stated on numerous occasions that there is no such thing as lucky or unlucky accounts. That is purely rumor perpetuated by disgruntled players who refuse to believe that the universe isn’t totally fair, or something like that.

you clearly dont know of TTS and similar guilds. They do triple wurm daily.
Their kill rate is about 70%
I used to do that daily with them. Then I got lazy.

ProtoGunner.4953:

I have a question, the wiki article is a bit unclear about this. To join a squad do I need the commander compendium? And if yes, why in Tyria’s Gods’ name did they do that?

No, to join a squad you just need to right click the commander’s name on the map. You can also right click the commander’s portrait when targeted or in party and get the same option to “Join Squad.”

Commander’s Compendium only unlocks the ability to create a squad, and all commander functionality is based around hitting that button.

Oh, that’s good news, thank you for clarification. I just asked, I tried in game to join squads and somehow it never happened something. Is that be cause the commander didn’t do anything and hasn’t talked through the /squad chat? I’ll try that next time. Don’t usually commanders make use of that?

Squad gives you access to /squad chat, which is yellow, and it will disable other commander pins. You will only see 1 pin when you are in a squad. So remember to leave squad if you suddenly cant see other pins.

And the thing with squad chat is that nobody uses it. It’s better to use /map or /team. You can try talking in /squad next time you are in one. But not many people join squad.
For serious commanders in real wvw maps, they will use Teamspeak.

I’m a guild leader in a medium size guild.
our policy is 90% rep. we use 90%, not 100% because we understand people may want to rep their bank, TTS, wvw, or just simply forget to rep on new character. It gives people some leeway.

We do not hard enforce the 90% rule. But we do keep track of our member. If someone does not rep us at all, we down rank to lowest. After a while, we will send a notification. Most of the time we just let them leave on their own. But we do kick.

From a leader/officer perspective, if more than half the guild dont rep, it will make the guild seem dead; guild chat is quiet. That is totally not a good thing.

But keep nagging about it is bad, I agree.

edgarallanpwn.8739:

I THINK i finally figured it out. I was using the dragon plugin, and OMG it looks so godkitten nice now. Holy. Wow.

yep. I cant go back to normal game graphics now XD

Whisperer.1584:

Sorry to change the subject a little bit, but i see that gw2 has sweetfx, which one do people use and suggest as decent to use? still waiting for my game to install and i was checking .nAKAZZ’ one and it looks nice.

you can check here for presets
http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/game/1/
You can preview the change with a slider in the pictures. May be get the one with most downloaded.

edgarallanpwn.8739:

Vermillion.4061:

SweetFX is 100% safe, been using it for almost 2 years with no problems at all.

GemFX I’ve never used so I have no opinion over it.

I can’t tell if its working. Which version are you using? I tried to load one of the preset files(the most popular one with highest downloads) and it just kept giving me an error. I tried the iris one and it seemed to load, but i cant tell a difference

Did you put d3d9.dll, dxgi.dll and injector.ini inside bin folder?
it should be like this
Guild Wars 2/bin/(those 3 files)
Guild Wars 2/SweetFx/ <—-the folder you got from the SweetFX archive file
Guild Wars 2/SweetFX_preset.txt
Guild Wars 2/SweetFX_settings.txt

and the SweetFX_preset.txt should look like this
//#include “SweetFX\Presets\Default_1.5_settings.txt”
#include “SweetFX\Presets\Guild_Wars_2_Sweet_Subtle_and_Sharp.txt”

put // before the preset you dont use

Sandpit.3467:

So my question is, why is there a fee, and such a crazy high one too?

WvW aside, for everyone else it’s just about playing with friends, and isn’t that kind of the whole point of the game?

and what prevents you from playing together right now, in game, and with no transfer fee?

also, I dont think guilds belong to a specific server anymore with megaservers. How does the game even determine that?

my thief

welcome!
there are some great tips here in this thread
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/OMG-If-you-only-knew-this-tips-for-new-players

there’re also some other helpful threads in that sub-forums

It could be the opposite. Price going down could be a result of too many “activity”

for example, many people are farming Silverwastes and getting too many rares. Hence more Ectos.

you’re kidding right?

the thing that makes the zerker meta meta is the dodge.

laword.5601:

I am unable to select a guild to join. I press G but the list to choose a guild to join is blank.
I’m currently on level 25 so I’m not sure what I am doing wrong here.

I dont think it is because of the bug.

By what you say, it seems to me that you are trying to find a list of guild and pick one to join, right? If so, then you cant. There is no list of guild to see.

G menu is only for the guilds that have sent you an invitation. It is empty because you havent been invited or joined any guild.

You can watch the map chat for any guild recruiting, or ask on map chat yourself. Lion’s Arch or any city is a good place for that.

not sure if I can post yet

edit: ah it works now. Couldnt post all day. Tried deleting cookies and going incognito. But didnt work.

a friend got 5 coat boxes in a row. He has 6 boxes now.

I got nothing.

something is seriously wrong here

a friend got 5 boxes in a row. he has a total of 6 boxes now.

I got nothing.

something seriously is not right

a good thief can escort 4 people through this rush safely. It’s possible, I did that a few times.

it’s probably because of Scale 44’s instability
“Take damage when you deal critical damage.”

at that scale range, if you want daily, you could do 42. or if you want progress, you can find a lv49 LFG post, or post a LFG asking for someone to open 49.
you would most likely find a group faster.

^19.4 GB

the percentage is the number of files (which varies by size), not the total size

Guardian of Angels.9867:

Can we PLEASE get the option to accept / decline credit on Guild Challenge aswell?!

That option already exists for Guild Challenge and all other missions. I’ve seen it in Challenge many times before.
Although, it may or may not appear for some players. I’ve heard my guildies said they didnt see it. But as a guild leader, I’ve never not seen it when it is supposed to appear.

But I agree that it’s really hard to enforce it. There’s always someone that mistakenly click Accept.

So I dont take that option into consideration when doing guild missions anymore. If I judge that some of my guildies wont make it, I will tell on guild chat to not participate and wait for timer to end. Good thing my guildies know how to listen

And yeah, this option should only appear for leader, officers

he’s talking about the pop up chests that appear on the right side, above the mini map

Max display is 3 chests. Doing teq gives u 4 chests.

never really tried to see how many it can have. You can test it while doing Silverwastes.
I just dont feel right if I dont open them right away

yeah. I also notice this bug. If you join a game halfway, you lose health even when you got the notes right.

You can either wait for a new game, or keep joining until u get a new game (more than 9m left, before 1st song)

yeah I also notice this. If you join halfway, you lose health even when u got the notes right

It’s better to find a game at start, 1st song.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Azhure.1857:

Solution: Add an option when Right clicking on a name in the chat window where we can also /join party. This makes things smoother on all accounts. Quick and easy.

Can you not already do this? maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying but that sounds like what we can do now.

yes. Right click “Join” does exist but doesnt work properly
due to how the servers work or something. it doesnt show up like 70% of the time. Even if the other person is in a party, it still shows “Invite”

is this only for 2 tonics “Endless Toymaker and Endless Gift Dolyak”?
or is there any hidden thing? (like the endless doll tonic, etc. for the new collection)

Guess no more Toypocalypse anymore for me.
The achivement for that is an infinite one. I dont do them anyway.

Shame, I was looking forward to it.
Stupid decision
shrug

Electro.4173:

The wind walls, though… ugh. They come with absolutely no warning cues whatsoever as far as boss animations and seem to be able to spawn anywhere. Had a fair few runs ruined by them spawning right behind me and giving me no time to respond, and when that wasn’t happening I was thrown off by the fact that they spawn at different times (sometimes during the “burn phase” on the boss, sometimes during the elemental phases, its anything goes).

When the wind wall spawns, there is a ping on the mini map.

Sometimes it doesnt let you be out of stealth mode so you cant kill anything which makes you stuck.

The only way workaround I can think of to avoid it is to bring at least 1 more person with you. From what I’ve seen, the other persons wont have this bug or there is less chance.

this is a bug with it.
