Guild Wars 2

So because another MMO had a cool feature, means GW2 shouldnt have it too?

Personally I thought it looked cool.

“An announcement that will change Tyria forever!”

They are closing GW2?

Its not an expansion.

I have it on good authority they are actually announcing the return of the Super Adventure Box. For 2 weeks.

Ah great, thank you, I completely missed that bit!!

Its still showing at full price on the site, and some friends were hoping to take advantage of the offer today. Thanks.

Also the NCSoft investor meeting notes said so.

Hi,

This may seem OTT, but I’ve had guild members stop playing because of this change. Their evenings were normally spent logging on and going through the PVE dailies, and enjoyed doing them. Now, they are so restricted that they feel this fun has gone, and they have just stopped logging in. For myself, I dont like how I now have to find one specific event and stand on waiting for 10 minutes for it, or have to go to one specific place to harvest. I prefered having lots of options and deciding where and when I went to do it, plus the XP I got for my alts was good fun and helped me level.

I feel this change has made the game worse, which is a big shame

Stay on target…

You’d think that as this is a halloween patch, and one that has been on twice before (with minor modifications) they would have had at least 12 months to test it prior to today – so the delay really is a bit odd.

Unless they are like my students and decided to wait until last night to build and test it

Xiem.4719:

I remember times when EU players could enjoy new patches in the evening… :C

I remember those days too, good times. Come home from work, 6.30pm the patch would hit, play all evening! Not like these days, lucky to get it before you go to bed

Its 9pm UK time, so shortly it wont be here till tomorrow

The rage is for real!!

The helpfulness from you however is not.

From Gaile, SAB will return: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Super-Adventure-Box-merged-1/page/14#post4456748

Gaile Gray.6029:

According to Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 2 Game Director, Super Adventure Box will be back in the future. We don’t have a timeframe for the return of the SAB, but we will be bringing back this popular content.

I know you would like more details, more info, a date, etc., but that’s not available right now. I hope the above comment reassures you, though, because at the core, the important answer is that yes, SAB will be back in the future.

(I didn’t say bunnies are gonna fly! Don’t hit me! -covers head- )

Thank for the information

I’m not frustrated, nor raging, just read a few articles on how it wouldn’t be coming back, so would rather the money was used for something I could continue (excuse the pun) to use in game, rather than it sitting unused in the bank for ever.

And my reason for presuming the poster had got a refund was the very quick and certain reply he made.

Ah, so they do refund the coins? Thank you, I shall drop them a line and ask them to use your username as an example of someone who has got a refund. Cheers.

Gaile Gray.6029:

I’m sort of writing to think, but I’d like to understand what truly reaches the point of “I’d like more info, but I’m satisfied with what you’ve been able to tell us right now.” Can you give me a few examples, where players would really like to know everything, but where there is a level of disclosure that meets the basic info request?

Personally, I like looking forward to something. I don’t mind what it is, but if I even had a general feel that something was coming, something was actively being worked on, then I would look forward to that content. But the key word for me is “actively” as in – “We are actively working on some new lands for the future, we are actively making new events for the future, we are actively building new jumping puzzles for the future”.

I don’t need to know WHEN, I don’t need to know WHAT, I just need to know that SOMETHING is being made, and that is an ongoing process. Because at the moment, it feels like NOTHING is being made, except for redoing old level 1-10 content or filming some long cutscenes for a “story” segment.

With other MMOs that produce monthly content and a 6-12 monthly expansion, I know that it is going to happen one day, and I look forward to the eventual announcements and additions to the game. But in GW2 (which I pay more for per month than I did for other MMOs), for the last 2+ years now, I have never had that feeling or “something is coming one day!” except for looking at the world map and seeing the blank areas which, frankly, really hasn’t changed since beta, except for Southsun a month after launch and half of Drytop 2 years later.

Which is pretty poor for a game that claims to be very successful…

Hi, so its been over a year now since the last SAB appearance, and I have seen interviews on some websites (sorry I do not have the links) where you seem to indicate that it will not be returning again due to low world population numbers when it is here.

As a customer who spent quite a big sum on SAB continue coins for my families accounts, thinking that this would be a regular update every 6 months or so (granted, based only on my experience of your content updates up to that point, and not based on any promises from Anet), can you let me know where I can go to get a refund for this, as it is now appears to be completely pointless.

Thank you.

Oh no!! Thats a shame, kills the immersion when RPing

The whole thing seems busted, and Anet seem completely disinterested. Hey, Anet, either give me my town clothes back or give me all my money back, im not bothered which.

I had the hats in my bag, and spoke to him and I got 3 town cloth tonic, which all just transform me into my basic town clothes. She wears no hat at that point (although her hat normally is set to on at all times). All the items she was wearing have vanished, as have all the items on my other characters

This is exactly the same for my partner, who has also lost all of her town clothes on all her characters.

Hi,

Can someone help? My partner and I have bought loads of town clothes since beta, for lots of our characters. Now, since the latest patch (April) we can not find any of them. In my bank I had the devil horns, the witches hat and the beta launch cap.. and it said on them to visit the BLT Armour guy to convert them into hat pieces. I went there and instead I got 3 unending tonics, all of which just put my standard town clothes on (with no dye options).
So we have lost all our skins (which we paid gems for) and all the hats?

I’m sure this cant be right, as we would be owed a hefty refund (its against the terms to just delete my purchases surely? Else why would I ever buy anything again?) so they must be somewhere….? I have read something about tonics, outfits and armour skins, which is fine, but I dont have any of those for any of our outfits!.

Can someone help? Thank you!

The whole of this patch seems aimed at making the game a bit worse so they can try and squeeze a bit more cash out of us. This was such an awesome game, shame on you Anet.

The whole wardrobe system is just another money grab – you can only equip items if you have bought charges for gems.

This patch effectively kills off equipment variety, and I expect a dye charge is coming in shortly. Why dont you just charge me a sub and be done with it?

Friend of ours has an account on another server and wants to join us. But we cant see anything anywhere on how to do this! Please can someone point us in the right direction? Thank you kindly

Same here, EU – Piken.

Been here since day 1

Hey Anet, thanks so much for the WvW XP Booster gift you sent to my level 80. It would have been super handy if you had sent it to my level 65, or in fact any of my other 7 toons who aren’t yet level 80.

Of course it would also have been cool if it had been Account bound, and not Soulbound on Acquire, or if the in-game mail you sent could have been accessed from any character, not just the one who first clicked it. At first I suspected it was actually WvW Rank XP, but no, seems to be just plain old normal XP.

I know its the thought that counts and all, but I suspect very little actual thought went into it

Still, cheers anyway, and hopefully next time it can be account bound!

I’m trying to sell some stuff on the broker and it says I have to upgrade to use this feature?

Whaaat? I’ve spent hundreds on this bloody game since launch, and now you want me to pay MORE just to use a basic feature?

You’re joking right?

andrew.1798:

How have you completed 10 invasions when there’s only been 3 so far? (Fireheart, Blazeridge, and now Frostgorge) ?

How did I get 3/5 Portal Investigations Completed if I have only done one zone and its only one per zone?

And yes, the other achievement that says stop the invasions is on 5/5.

I’m not saying I have completed 10 zones – I am telling you what it says in the achievements and on screen. I’m not making it up for goodness sake. Please think before you go around insulting people.

andrew.1798:

How have you completed 10 invasions when there’s only been 3 so far? (Fireheart, Blazeridge, and now Frostgorge) ?

I think he meant invasions at one map.
Mistake.

Patronising.

I have completed 12. I have the “Completed 10 Invasions” achievement. I still can not talk to him, and it says I only scanned 3/5.

Topher.1684:

Palleon.1657:

Cant be, I only went to one land and I have 3/5 and he said I was done. Others here have 4/5 and have only done one land.

I’ve done many, got the guys to say well done come back to me, but still have 0/5…

Yeah, others in the guild have that too. Makes no sense so far lol

Cant be, I only went to one land and I have 3/5 and he said I was done. Others here have 4/5 and have only done one land.

I closed 10 portals, spoke to the guy each time, used the thing he gave me, had an achievement for closing them, got a voice saying “Well done, I have 5 now, return to me at divinities reach”, got back to him, and am told I dont have enough, and now have 3 of 5 scanned in my achievements…

So… if its not closing them, not talking to him when you close them, not using the thing he gave you when you close them, and not coming back when he tells you you have done it… WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO TO SCAN THEM???

Very confused by this whole thing.

Paul Belz.7351:

any overflow that opens up 10 minutes after the invasion begins will not have the event active. This is to prevent them from carrying over into the next invasion, as they will be active for 45 minutes maximum.

Check for invasions near the start of the hour, though there is some slight variance.

We ran straight to the zone (Fireheart) where there was an overflow and we got the error message. So, thats not true.

Hi,

Can you please change the PVP skin rewards for the achievements chests to be Account Bound, not Soulbound?

The first time I got one, I was on my Heavy armour character, and it was all medium skins and soulbound. So the next one I got I opened on my Ranger, and it was all Heavy skins.

So, I have been unable to use any of them! Please make them account bound so they are actually usuable, or label the chest as “Medium PVP Chest” and make THAT account bound.

Either way, I would like to be able to use my rewards!

Thank youi

Hi, I play in WvW a fair bit, but when the client disconnects for no reason, which seems to happen a fair bit, I am put back in the real world and reset to the back of the queue. Sometimes I can queue for an hour, get into WvW, run round a corner, disconnect and have to re-queue for an hour.

I am sure this must be a bug, as every other game I know remembers your client is in an area and if you log back in before a minute or two of being disconnected you are put back into the instance.

Please can you let me know how I can fix this, so I dont spend most of my day queueing?

Thanks

UK, Eu server (Piken Square), Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…

Edit: It just let me in but seems to be randomly happening between the two of us here.

Started working after 10 minutes on the 5th email. Seriously Anet, sort this out. Its this kind of thing that makes casual players give up and go and do something else for the day.

Hi,

My GF is trying to log on via our home network and its asking for authentication due to an IP change (and yet bizarrely I’m OK), but when she clicks on the email link she just gets a website saying “Bad Request”.

Shes tried 3 times with 3 new emails, all the same problem.

How do we log on please? She spends ALOT of money on Gems, so would appreciate being able to play.

Thanks

Also in the UK, both me and the missus are lagging very badly since the new Dragon patch, with constant disconnections. It started at 6pm yesterday (GMT) and has been on and off since, most noticeably in the evening. Not getting lag anywhere else on the internet, or in other games, so have concluded its GW2 not us.

Finding it very hard to play like this.

Vayne.8563:

Put it this way. You have the same health as an ele and a thief, and they have weaker armor. Is that fair? lol

Thats interesting, cos my Ele has 24K hp, but my guardian has only 18K – both stacking vitality.

I’d say therefore, that Guards do not have the same HP as Ele’s.

I got one crate from farming. And I played ALOT!

Ive only played on it at level 80, and I have so far got stuff all. Completed all my achievements (well, 25), explored everything, done all my dailies there…. I would have thought I would have at least got one!

Please Anet, can you make falling damage not 1) Bring out pet when its hidden and 2) Not remove my town clothes?

I really enjoy jumping puzzles and like to run around in my town clothes (it makes it easier to see for a start!) yet every time I fall, my armour swaps straight out and my pet magically appears. Then I have to open H, turn off my armour, turn off my pet, and carry on. Its a pain in the rear.

Thanks ever so.

I really hope they bring in decent player housing soon. Games like EQ2 were awesome for this and kept people coming back and back, as well as creating whole sub-genres of crafting and collecting.

Blizzard promised player housing in WoW at the beginning, then completely forgot it. I really hope ArenaNet won’t do that too

On our server (medium load) we have whole guilds stuck in the WvW queues for over an hour for the last weeks evenings (approaching 2 hours now), and as great as that is the for game, its really not good for the players who are getting frustrated and grumpy.

Please Arenanet, can you not find a way of making the queues go down whilst keeping the gameplay fun? Add another map or something? And soon?

Or, if this is a queue bug as some suggest, please can you fix it? Pretty please?

Thank you.

p.s. please dont move this to the wvw section, its a big gameplay issue for clearly an awful lot of people.

Who in Anet decided you couldn’t send the flowers to someone on Valentines day?

Lol. Bet someone there is kicking themselves

Found this, which is a complete guide to the event as it stands at the moment.

Why Anet couldnt make something like this so everyone knew, I have no idea

http://dulfy.net/2013/01/29/gw2-living-story-refuge-volunteer-events-guide/

Still no in-game emails about this. Have cleared all my older mails out, and have zoned multiple times. Has it started?
