Guild Wars 2

Rata Sum’s is called Applied Development Lab. Make sure you are looking on the minimap, not the big map.

Thanks for the report Fade

We are aware of the discrepancy, this is scheduled to be fixed. For the record, the tooltip is incorrect, not how much health is adjusted with the skills.

For the grove, your node will appear in the Dreamer’s Terrace.

Hey everyone, we’ve nailed down what causes this and will have a fix in a hotfix.

For now, to avoid this problem, please close the conversation with the aspect master and choose to join the game from his first conversation screen.

This choice should always send you to the sanctum sprint.

Hey there Killian, if you enter a race in progress, it will be considered a practice lap. When the game restarts you will be able to earn rewards, as you will be in there from the beginning.

My suggestion is if you enter a practice lap, use it for practice instead of leaving and attempting to get into a fresh one.

Thanks guys, we’re looking into it.

Hey there Jabberwock!

I’d like to clarify this for you and everyone else: Once you have unlocked the quartz node, it will unlock the node for all your characters, though the node can only be mined once per day per account.

Additionally, the node will appear in all home instances (again it is the same node so only once per day).

This means you can log onto any character you want, go to any home instance you want, and mine your node.

Hey folks,

While we do have the ability to turn some types of content on and off dynamically, the text for achievements are not one of those things. Unfortunately, this means if we have content that turns on before our next release, the achievement text will have to be available on patch day.

Many players require a bit of direction and context and we have found that the achievement text is a useful way for us to direct them. While there is a big downside of presenting some spoilers, we are working hard to frame the text so as to not spoil the actual events that will be happening over the next two weeks.

I will say that unlike the southsun achievements, all of the achievements in the dragon bash category will be accomplishable before our next release (hotfixes don’t count :p).

Thanks for the reports guys, we know what the problem is and will have a fix in shortly.

yeah thats a bug >< will be fixed before the end of the day hopefully sorry

I guess the only way to be sure is to go check the areas out after the release today ;p

Be thorough

Perhaps that loose end will be wrapped up during the next living story arc…

(Don’t worry we didn’t drop that plot point, i just don’t want to spoil anything ><)

You can still get secret contact until the southsun patch if you have already picked up your crypto-translator.

The victory phase has begun and will continue until the southsun cove patch. Be sure to interact with a victory bonfire in hoelbrak, the black citadel or lions arch to complete “A Rallying Flame”.

As mentioned in the guide it is mostly conversations, though if you’re curious, you should check out Cragstead and the hatchery. Also the Bonfire gives you a pretty good buff.

Hey there,

If you have the gauntlet ticket in your inventory, it will not disappear when flame and frost is removed.

The way it works is, when you use the ticket, it summons the vendor, then you use the ticket as the currency to buy the gauntlets you want. This functionality does not depend on flame and frost being active, if you wanted to wait a year and use it on the flame and frost anniversary, it would totally still work and give you your gauntlets.

Hope this helps

Apologies for this problem everyone, the mysterious devices should now appear as expected with the latest hotfix.

We ended up making a “molten” species for these enemies, so that they can share loot drops and other behind the scenes stuff.

Unfortunately, this means they are technically not part of the flame legion or dredge family, and your potions will not help you.

Hey there!

The PvP versions of the fused gauntlets actually drop from the match win chests awarded from tournament wins. You can get both PvP and PvE gauntlets.

The new food buffs last twice as long as other food buffs i believe.

I’m sorry you guys are experiencing this problem, it is most definitely a bug. We are testing a fix that should solve this issue.

Thanks guys, we’ve identified that issue and are working on getting a fix through. Hopefully one of the next few days.

No changes to the bosses since we released the content. We aren’t planning on changing anything about them balance-wise.

Braham also revives any dead players after you kill the first of the final bosses and progress to phase 2 ;p

so now I’m confused, there is actually a difference in AI?

It’s not something that braham can do in any situation, its part of his script that when we go to boss phase 2, he uses the revive everyone skill.

Braham also revives any dead players after you kill the first of the final bosses and progress to phase 2 ;p

Thanks for the reports guys, we believe you are right, that this is related to the instance owner being gone. We are working on a fix that should be included in a (near) future build.

Thanks for the feedback and support! Glad you all enjoy the encounter

to clarify, you should get the achievement when you receive the dungeon completion UI

I don’t want to make any promises but it should be fine if you do it again.

The boss chest is not affected by which boss is killed last. It’s purely your choice as the players.

Hey Donari don’t worry, the dungeon will be available until May 12th

You will need to wait for them to spawn. Only one dungeon entrance will be available at a time.

That person has not yet revealed herself. If you go to Rox’s final instance in the citadel stockades you can interrogate the prisoners after the dungeon and get some small clues.

Expect the larger plot to start playing out a bit faster now that we are at the tail end of Flame and Frost.

Thanks for the reports. I believe the audio may be getting dropped due to the number of other sounds going on. I’ll send this report to the audio guys and see if they can figure out what is going on.

The discovered is by design though.

the bar is by design, currently there are a lot of molten facilities under the shiverpeaks. If you open your map and head to the entrance currently available, it should let you in

The bar will decrease as the facilities are destroyed.

For what its worth, the collectors appear to be still there in snowden drifts, so you should be able to still turn them in if you need to while we work on this.

Thanks we’re looking into it now

They drop from the boss chest and are sellable

This is now fixed!

We’re investigating this issue and we’ll have a fix in the near future. Can you guys see if there are any collectors in the other zones? e.g. diessa or iron marches?

the boss chest can be earned as many times as you can get to it.

There’s are several rewards that are in the boss chest that were not covered in those articles. I’m sure they will all be discovered shortly after the patch is live so i’m not going to spoil any of them.

Hey guys,

I just want to mention that we have attempted to design this dungeon in a manner that, in a way, makes it very difficult to skip much of anything. We have done extensive internal testing and the general consensus is that trying to skip most of the content ends up being more trouble than it is worth, and the fastest way through is essentially to play through the content as intended.

I know that there will still be doubters, but hopefully the work we have put in towards this goal will contribute to providing the story experience you are hoping for.

It will start on the 30th.

The dungeon itself will be available for a limited amount of time, as it is tied to the ongoing story. The possibility of revisiting the content is not out of the question, however. It just becomes a matter of determining where and when it makes sense to do so.

The Molten Weapon Facility dungeon will be available as soon as the Flame and Frost: Retribution release is live.

You will not need to have done any living story content to enter the dungeon, but if you want the achievement for completing it, you will need to finish the Hero’s Aid achievement (complete Rox and Braham’s stories) first.

Hey there!

The UI will be removed when you complete all achievements in the living story tab. There are a few more achievements aside from the ones associated with Rox and Braham.

Hey there! Retribution will start on the 30th, but you will have longer than that to participate on the content. More information should be available soon through GuildWars2.com so be on the lookout

This does not mean that Rox and Braham won’t continue to be important characters once this story ends though.

Important important or Treehurn important.

Frankly I’d rather they took a long walk off a short cliff and stayed in their instances. Hopefully they wont be the ones getting credit for the next Elder Dragon we push 2 at.

Well to be honest, there are other characters we want to introduce too, so Rox and Braham will need to step into the background once Flame and Frost ends, at least for a while.

We were actually talking about this in a meeting a few days ago. We want the characters we are introducing to continue to live their lives once they leave the forefront. But what we do not want is for them to end up in an instanced map with no development for months at a time.

We do want to provide motivation for players to check up on these characters when they are in the background but I cannot provide any details (or spoil anything :p) on that yet.

Don’t pay attention to only the people who hate on Braham and Rox, I actually like both of them (Rox more personally), I do want to see what happens with them in the future, and I think GW2 specificially needs more “named” characters than just destiny’s edge.

Ps: I want to see more of the Albino Baby Devourer too. Keep him around.

:) I won’t, I will definitely be posting more now that we are wrapping up Flame and Frost and I’m not as busy with the next round of content yet.

BUT i will say that if you want those things you mentioned you will not be disappointed with the Retribution content.
