Guild Wars 2

I have not been successful with this one either, it sounded easy enough, but I guess not. Downing them would make more sense as many times another person would pick up the dropped present before you can finish the downed player. It also seems like you have to be the person who last hits the gift carrier.

Go to any other class sub-forum and you’ll see each of them b**ch about another class being OP and how theirs is broken.

The guild has grown a little since this last post, roughly 25 players on and off. If the guild description matches what you’re looking for, give me a shout!

For me, it’s gotta be the Masquerade armour – when I saw the preview for it on the character creation screen, I just had to play a mesmer (fits their style/theme).

Available starting at level 35 I believe.

Celestea.4105:

I’m just amazed that someone who got a free trial can get a precursor, while others who have been playing since day one and have hundreds of hours clocked in didn’t get anything as they had real life committments and couldn’t attend the event.

I can understand why they like doing one-time events, but putting precursors in them is crazy.

I can understand people being peeved at not getting a precursor. I never get anything good from chests / event either. But I hadn’t thought about the free trial folks getting Precursor items. They might not even realize what they got.

That’s a real kick in the nuts to the players who have been around since launch (and beta). LOL can’t help but rage and laugh at the same time…

New zone, dungeon, Ascended gear, items, achievements, etc.

Got Zho’s Coat, some pauldron (forgot name), 20 slot bag and some ring or back item, didn’t get a closer look, had to log off right after.

^that and the fact the server rebooted last night all of a sudden. The system message said a new build was ready and 2 hrs till reboot. Then all of a sudden it rebooted after the 2 hr. message – luckily we just killed the last boss and finished the dungeon.

Telling players you’re rebooting the servers in 2 hrs then doing it within a couple of minutes is NOT cool. -_-

Yeah, under the Special Event tab, it still shows the Mad King achievements. Guessing there won’t be any Lost Shore specific event achievements / titles?

On the bright side, what an awesome house party!

Okay, I think I figured out the issue. Some of the NPC letters (and bonus item letter from the Collector’s Edition) are counted as part of the mailbox limit, however it doesn’t register as part of the 10 – meaning that the counter doesn’t update. After cleaning out my mailbox (deleting everything) then having my friends send me some mail, I was finally able to achieve the 10/10 mailbox hint.

I just started working on my alt Mesmer and find the survivability somewhat less attracting than my Engineer main. Maybe I’m just not used to the way Mesmer plays yet, currently level 30.

I was going to start a new topic, but since this one is similar and have some good info, I might as well post here. I’m having a harder time in PvE with the Mesmer, it feels like no matter what I do, clones or phantasms, enemies still seem to be locked on to me. Even if I pop a decoy, back off while stealthed, once I’m out of steal the enemies automatically reconverge onto me as the target. Shouldn’t clones and/or phantasms act as some sort of distraction so enemy mobs aren’t always drawn to me (i.e. take some of the aggro away)?

Looking for some advice/feedback.

^Thanks.

Any chance of guild and/or character renames in the future (paid or free)?

While we can just create a new guild, it’d be annoying to start over and earn the Influence Points all over again. May be easierfor large guilds, but smaller and more personal guilds will have a hard time.

Green would be nice – my GW1 Necro had green hair, wish I could carry that green hair over to GW2. lol

Here’s a screenshot of Canthan Debs.

“Pistol’s Blowtorch, Fumigate, Poison Dart Volley will often miss destructible objects.”

Not just that, flamethrower’s auto-attack / slot1 attack misses distructible objects too (especially if it’s directly in front of you.). You’d have to change the camera angle constantly to try and find that “sweet spot”. But then a lot oftimes, subsequent attacks will miss again and you’re forced to find a different camera angle.

^Yup, I’ve had that too. Still shows up as hand armor on transmuted items too. I had submitted an in-game bug report for this though.

I’ve been experiencing choppiness from time to time with the framerate recently too, don’t know why. It would drop quite low at times that everything seems like stop-motion animation. It fixes itself when I exit the game and come back in – memory leak somewhere? Though I haven’t updated my video drivers recently, so I should try that first.

Win7 64 bit as well, nVidia GeForce GTX 580 (v296.10)

Choppiness occured at different locations, such as Queensdale, Mad King’s Clock Tower waiting area, Mad King’s Labyrinth, Black Citadel, Lions Arch, etc. so I don’t think location mattered.

OMG, I thought I was seeing things! I could’ve sworn I saw an orange candy corn node on my screen for a brief second, but when I turned to look again it was gone. LOL

Looks like the Mad King’s realm is still fused with ours somehow – kitten temporal anomalies!

I know there’s been a couple of posts on this in the past, but I haven’t found any responses to this bug.

Previously, the bug for in-game mail resulted in in filling up at 9/10. So you can never get 10/10 full mailbox and acquire the “mailbox full hint” (for the achievement).

I had my mail at 6/10 for the past week or so, deleted the most recent gold seller mail, and noticed that more mail kept coming in. But my mailbox is now stuck at 6/10. It’s even worse now whereas before I could at least get 9/10. lol

Has anyone see a dev response to this in-game mail limit bug yet?

While this doesn’t break the game, your mail just get queued until you delete some mail, it does prevent you from getting the hint achievement. Does anyone out there get a full 10/10 mailbox limit?

Dunno if anyone’s posted this, but on my Human characters (and guildmates), the Mad King’s Memoire back item that we got for the Halloween event disappears whenever we do a /emote action. Such as waving, dancing, cheering, etc. Whenever the action performs, the “book” disappears, then re-appears when the animation completes.

Same thought came up while I was organizing my iventory today. I wonder if there is any more uses for this candy powered meter.

Phalanix.7542:

Maybe Anet should separate the mini pets from collectible materials?

So they would take real bank space? No thanks.

No, I meant when you click on the Deposit All Collectibles function when in your Inventory window.

GummiBear.2756:

you sure you didn’t just “deposit” it? so it lies at the button of the tab in the bank where all your crafting mats is too?

Be sure to put your mini’s in an invisible bag in your inventory so it wont happen accidentally, when you do a “deposit all collectibles”

This. I had thought I lost my Rytlock too when I was still in the head start, only to realise later that he got deposited into my bank when I clicked on Deposit All Collectibles.

Maybe Anet should separate the mini pets from collectible materials?

The title should be, “I survived Norns and Charrs”.

My guildmate got a “roll of toilet paper” last night from the Mad King’s chest. Epic loot, thanks A-Net. XD

^If one can finish the clocktower.

After completing the tower, I actually enjoyed the challenge. It actually felt like an achievement/accomplishment. The mob of people made it interesting (albeit annoying at times). I think they could’ve transformed everyone into skeletons, or mummies, etc. so that we’d all be the same size. That would probably help stop spread the hatred for Charrs and Norns. LOL

Yeah, I posted this awhile back too, never seen any updates to this issue. Bump.

That’s an odd observation, but for some reason I felt the same when I switched from my human male main to female alt. The female character felt like she didn’t have as much power in her jump, didn’t jump as far or high as the male. With the male, I hardly ever had problems jumping onto the second cog, but with the female I always seem to fall just short of it. It’s not logical, but it does feel that way.

Probably due to the difference in character size and I’m jumping earlier than I normally would.

LOL

StormcrowX.9236:

3) Halloween events ….??? what are these?

Someone help me out here.

Halloween Events = those chain world events that reverse the door portals or playing the group events in the Mad King’s Labyrinth. Those are the ones I’ve found so far anyway.

Isabella.5796:

I’ve attempted this puzzle at least 50 times now, I think it’s really awesome and challenging, but every single time i try, I get ported out randomly at different times for no apparent reason. I get ported out even if I’m standing on a platform or in mid air and when I’m far above the green ooze stuff. I’ve watched videos on how to do it and I jump as fast and as accurately as I possibly can. I cannot get further than the first 20 seconds of the jumping puzzle without getting ported out for no apparent reason. Is this just me or are there others experiencing this same problem?

I’ve experienced the same thing the OP is describing. I’m sure it wasn’t the fog as sometimes I’m ahead of the pack and there are people jumping behind me. The only thing I can think of may be lag on my end and that I may have in fact slipped off an edge (server end) but it isn’t what I see on my screen.

Finally finished it last night, after a couple of hours. LOL so much hate in the Tower for Charrs and Norns.

Human
Engineer
no speed buffs

I knew I was subconciously saving up all my keys for a reason… lol

It’d be nice if we can change their color as well, rather than the standard brown.

clegane.5861:

Haltus Kain: that one is really nice, I’m going to look for it!

anyway, as for me, I like the looks of the simple Seraph Rifle the most… even legendaries don’t look better as far as I’m concerned, so at least that’s one less thing to worry about!

http://www.gw2db.com/items/55389-seraph-rifle

I also like the look of this rifle, sleek and elegant. Ran with it for the longest time.

Thanks Leto – that explains it.

Was roaming around and saw someone with at least 10 Krytan Drakehounds following him. Is this a bug or exploit or normal (or perhaps something on my end that didn’t communicate properly with the server)? I don’t play a ranger as a main, so curiosity got the better of me.

Eternal Sonata [SONA] is a group of casual, but dedicated, players that are currently focused on PvE, dungeons, crafting and increasing guild influence. Of course, WvW and PvP are also on the list, but we’re just currently more focused on PvE as the guild is still small (and growing). We have been around since the first beta weekend.

The guild consists of various classes and races, levels range from 1-80 – so all are welcome. Most of us are in the Eastern time zone, but we do have a couple in Central and Pacific as well.

If you’re on Crystal Desert (preferably) and looking to join a casual, mature and fun guild – particularly if you’re more into PvE content – give us a try.

Feel free to shoot me a PM or reply if you have any questions, or message/mail me in-game.

Cheers!

For the Humans, the gods blessing question doesn’t add any cosmetic effect to the character, as far as I can tell. I thought the character would receive some sort of stat bonus depending on the god selected, but I haven’t noticed any differences.

Will check the home district and see what tha priest is all about.

One thing I hate about these character creation questions is the ambiguity of some of the questions.

I know ANet already replied to this – but I just wanted to add that I’d like to see the auto-attack implemented for our kits. Really annoying when switching to kits (or losing kit function and re-enabling it) during fire fights.

So does choosing which god blessed you during charater creation actually do anything? Still can’t find out what the point of that question was. Anyone know?
