Guild Wars 2

There are merchants in the heart of the mists who can provide you with pvp gear.

Once your rank in a craft is 40 higher than the rank required to craft something, crafting it no longer gives you experience. Try crafting something with a higher crafting rank requirement.

Edit: Rereading… are you stuck at crafting rank 24? Or is your character stuck at character level 24? If it’s the former, that does sound like a bug.

There was a rollback earlier after some server issues. I’m betting you lost it from that. You should still have the money you bought the weapon with. If you don’t, then it’s a bug.

They had some server issues, and some progress was lost. They know, but “Due to the nature of the outage, we will be unable to restore any progression or items. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience .” ^MK”

You get a free waypoint on death only if you don’t have enough money to waypoint, to prevent you from getting stuck.

You can only have buffs from one of the stat stacking sigils at a time. Otherwise you could have one weapon for each stat and switch between them to get up to 25 stacks of each and run around with huge buffs.

that’s interesting. i only play thief and have yet to see this…i’ll see if i can replicate this for you.

EDIT: Sorry, but no matter how much I tried…I could not replicate this issue.

Strange. What race/gender are you? I’ve tried it with different healing skills, elites, and weapons equipped on the off chance those affect it, but it happens every time. My character’s a female charr.

Exact method I’m using to test:
1) Shadow Refuge in slot 7, Blinding Powder in slot 8, Infiltrator’s signet/Signet of agility /Signet of Shadows in slot 9. In Lion’s Arch (though it definitely happens other places, just mentioning this in case location does affect it).
2) Use shadow refuge and blinding powder
3) Switch to another signet.

Goes on cooldown every time. Doesn’t seem to happen with assassin’s signet, just infiltrator’s, agility, and shadows (all of which, probably not coincidentally, have 30 second cooldowns.) I tried resetting my traits and it still happens with no trait points spent.

Improvisation doesn’t recharge one of each type of skill. It recharges all of one type of skill, and the type of skill is random, and it can select skill types even if you don’t have any equipped. It’s not a bug unless it’s never ever recharging anything.

With the thief signets (noticed most with signet of agility, but I’ve seen it with infiltrator’s too), sometimes when you have one of your utility skills on recharge and swap a signet into another slot, the signet gets put on recharge for the same amount of time as the other skill.

See picture: 39 seconds of recharge left on a 30-second recharge skill.

Not sure exactly what the conditions are for it happening, but I can reproduce it pretty reliably by putting shadow refuge and blinding powder in slots 7 and 8, using them, then switching signets in and out of slot 9.

Shintai.5618:

I dont get why damage gets recalculated. Seems to be quite silly and wasteful. The condition damage should be applied only once and then run its cause. I have a feeling the server recalculates the damage at each tick.

It allows people to strip might from you to reduce the damage they’re taking from conditions, for one. Also prevents you from just getting a billion stacks of might, throwing conditions at someone, then letting the might wear off, but still getting the bonus condition damage for the full duration without having to do anything for it.

Their anti-speedclear fix is bugged and nerfing your rewards even when it shouldn’t. They’re aware of it and working on a fix.

I have been able to buy 250 of items (specifically: iron ore, platinum ore, ghost peppers) without any problems. The problem is possibly that you put in an order at the highest buy price, but there are a bunch of people in line before you at that price, and they get their orders first, or that the buy price goes up after you order. Have you tried increasing the highest buy price by 1 copper?

Did some math. At 80, an ele with full exotic berserker gear, using a staff, has the following advantages over one with equivalent Masterwork gear (using Exquisite Ruby Orbs in the exotic gear, the 65 green ruby gems in the masterwork):

165 more defense
185.5 more average weapon strength
275 more power
20% more crit damage

Add in 250 power for bloodlust, and 200 power and 10% crit damage from a truffle steak dinner, and that puts him at ~910 more attack and 30% more crit damage. A single guardian with a staff could add 12 stacks of might for another 420 power. 25 stacks of might would add 875. A banner of discipline could give him another 10% crit damage, and 25 stacks of vuln would add 25% damage.

Of course it’s unlikely that all of this happened. But it’s really pretty easy for a lot of it to have happened. The gear, bloodlust, and food are all mostly passive, and all it would take for the rest would be a few coordinated players. It’s not nearly as unlikely as you seem to think.

Example: One ele as described above, one guardian, one rifle warrior. Guardian uses Empower, warrior uses for great justice and banner of disciplines into a fire field created by the ele, then uses on my mark and brutal shot. Ele now has 18 stacks of might and +10% critical damage, target has 15 stacks of vulnerability. It’s entirely possible this could even happen accidentally.

It’s a lot of damage, sure. But I really don’t think it’s a bug.

You don’t have anywhere near maxed out gear if you’re still in greens… The numbers may not seem that big but they make a big difference.

Also, I seem to do way more damage in WvW than in PvE. So that might be contributing.

He could also have 450 more power from food + stacks of bloodlust. So there’s that.

Edit: Toss in a bunch of might stacks, up to 25% more damage from vuln on you, and it’s probably possible.

After you leave stealth, you’ll have an effect on you called “Revealed” that prevents you from going back into stealth for a few seconds. This is to prevent you from using Cloak and Dagger to stay stealthed forever.

I believe that when one of your sigils is on cooldown, all of them stop working. If you have more than one on weaponswap sigil, onlt the mainhand will trigger, then it goes on cooldown and prevents the offhand from triggering.

At the very least, being able to access the PvE bank from the heart of the mists would make this much less painful.

That event that “should take 30 minutes” isn’t supposed to take 30 minutes. Read the dialogue. It’s humor.

The reason no one ever does anything but Magg is that Magg is just really fast and easy, while Ferrah is bugged and Rhiannon seems essentially impossible without at least four copies of shadow refuge and is possibly also bugged. Dungeon difficulties are just really out of whack, and many explorable mode paths can’t even be completed as they are.

Were the two of you in a group before entering the match? Because if you were, your stealth does nothing against him. You’re party members, he can see you when you stealth. You can also see each other’s dots on the map if you were grouped before going in. This is also a bug, certainly, but the issue is different from what you’ve described.

Similarly, if an enemy is targeting you with a channeled attack such as the ranger’s longbow rapid fire, the attack will continue to track you and hit you if you stealth partway through it.

EDIT: And in response to “It is incredibly frustrating using the Stealth skill while downed and have somebody continue to auto-attack me like nothing happened”:

Everyone knows how the thief downed skills work by now. The stealth doesn’t move you. It’s simple enough when a thief stealths while downed to just start hitting your 1 key and keep hitting them, even if you can’t see them. The real advantage to the skill is that people can’t start stomping you while you’re stealthed, and if a stomp goes off while you’re stealthed it does nothing.

Even with other stealth skills, most people have figured out they can still hurt you and will attack where they think you are. It’s up to you to move unpredictably once they can’t see you.

You’re probably looking at the wrong tab. There are two armor tabs, the first is a set of rares, and these look identical for every dungeon. The second tab has the exotics.
