Guild Wars 2

Eks.1238:

Hi,

Few minutes comleted 100% world exploration.
Didnt get Gift of exploration at all.

Mt last point was at WvWvW – so i got only 10 badges of honor.

Please fix this issue..

You get the gift after taking all rewards from all maps… if you missed any of the rewards, you won’t have the gift.
Teleport through all of them once more, remembering specially about Chantry of Secrets, as maddoctor.2738 suggested

Go to the Chantry of Secrets in Bloodtide Coast, sometimes it solves this issue

Because many players visit it in instanced mode during personal story, so don’t take the reward from it. And its one POI is something missed often.

It looks funnier, if you lockup during skill usage, this way you look like perma-leap ;-)

Claiming names period finished some time ago. (If it would be claimed you wouldn’t be able to choose it in the starting form).

I suppose it’s ratter a matter of ANet Naming Policy.
I think that for someone it can be a bit “dirty” name ;-)

I would prefer displaying titles from my title area, but it would be easy to add there also the order title for people preferring the Lightbringer or WhisperUser kinds

Uzzwick.8457:

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most important thing of all.
Asuras should be able to ride on a Norn’s shoulders if they’re in the same party. I’m not kidding, this is the best thing ever.

+1
I would add Charrs to ;-)

Look at: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/new-rewards-and-the-achievements-system/
Especially the part:

Down the road, we’ll also be adding a reward structure to total achievement points, and we’ll be looking at revamping portions of existing UI to help players understand all the different kinds of content they can play and the types of rewards available. Once we have that framework in place, we’ll be able to really expand on the content accessible through the achievements system and provide you with even more new and exciting ways to play the game.

Latorn.4209 answering your title question is pretty simple:
Yeah, it’s kitten hard.

Reading some of the answers here made me ROTFL so hard, that i still can’t sit still
Especially:

CoRtex.2157:

it’s actually super easy to program. it doesn’t take a day, maybe a few hours max. Anet is just lazy. Also there is no reason to up-scale people in a duel. It’s fun to win as lvl 20 vs lvl 21. You can’t even spec someones armor, how lazy can you be as a company, lol.

Still dunno if he is a troll or joking, or needs some serious medical help.

Costume Brawling ??

Latorn.4209:

This is just a technical question, because many people argue that costume brawling could easily be retooled into dueling.

And this idea seems to make sense to an extent, I mean, costume brawling itself with its new abilities and “damage” system seems like it would have been even more complex to program than basic dueling. The idea stems from the fact that basic dueling would just utilize the abilities we already have and denote each participant as attackable so that their HP would actually drop.

Anyone have any insight or ideas into how the process of creating dueling/retooling costume brawling would actually work?

Mate, please, do you even remember how costume brawling worked? Three different effects: gain CB stack, loose CB stack, regenerate CB stack, nothing more. And you want to say it’s almost dueling … PLEASE be serious.

Want to know what’s so difficult in adding open world DUELING, here are some points:

1. This game has some faction implemented: players, npcs, diffrent kinds of enemies. How do you want to change mechanic between factions during the Duel? Have you though about it? What with other players using support auras, whats with NPC using support skills, what with Enemies using AoE, CC, conditions or any other kind of skills?
   example: Guardian versus Ele, whats with their AoE support skills, yeah cleansing wave FTW…
   It’s not CostumeBrawl and its add/deduce point thing, it’s a real problem to develop/code.
2. What’s with negative effects that it can have on other players? Its’ an additional lag that wouldn’t happen without dueling active. Those players would go sPvP, or stand dormant waiting. What with players that don’t want to see duel spammers. Maybe you have only good experiences from other duel accepting games, but I remember lots of high levels killing/grieving low levels in their zones.
   What can you do, make duelers invisible? It’s changing some of the core mechanics.

It’s not an easy Task to add open world dueling.
Those are changes that need lots of thinking and implementing.

Saying that majority of players wants dueling in game is also a kitten joke. Majority of players doesn’t even use this forum.

Of course dueling could be fun, and in GW1 i spend lots of time with friends in a guild hall dueling, playing, sparing, training, but it wasn’t something that affected PvE, or other players.

I would like to have some kind of dueling option in GW2, but please something well designed.

*Private arenas – could be an answer. They have lots of positives.
*Open world dueling – as for me I see more negatives than positives, and lots of coding it would demand is an additional kitten big negative.

DeadlyDohnut.7052:

i agree in games like wow and other mmos theres ….

And why should other games be any argument about changing GW2? Especially “word on walking”. I hate this kind of arguments….

But on topic.
Specific slot for a mini-pet would be nice, especially with the town clothes.

I’ll bump this thread, cause "quote"s work strange ;-)
And i would like to see them corrected, because previewing each post, checking quotes and reformatting is something to get rid off.

+1 for the idea.
Running through all forums to check the contents and icons is tiresome.

Yep the dates would be great.
And not only the last post date, but first post date would be great too…

Looking through the forums is a bit harsh now.

Dunno about the slayer…. but recently I noticed that mine pumpkin carver shows 0/xx done, while I did it on Halloween and as a proof I still have mine " Master carver" title

edit:

Doosie.2364:

…

that’s what I was talking about ;-)
didn’t refresh the thread fast enough ;-)

I misunderstood you.

Woodix.2034 in title:

cant drop Dusk

Woodix.2034:

i drop it on Ac but i cant take it…i dont know…but i lost it 2 times…i spend 200 gold in forge and nothing…i think i’ve a problem…a big problem!!!
…

From your first post it seemed for me, that you dropped Dusk twice, and couldn’t pick it up…

IF you have two problems, try to make some space between them…

If you lost it 2 times do you have any kind of screenshot? Any proof?

Some ppl spend over 500 gold in the forge and also haven’t got a thing out… RNG!!!

Just curious how do you know that it shows the old password ? ;-)

If i remember correctly it shows a fixed number of stars ( * ) in the place of your remembered password ;-) (can’t check it now cause i’m not at home)

As it doesn’t change your stats, you can put it on/off ;-) so it’s rather cosmetic…
If you buy/put on the headgear you probably want it visible… ;D

Did the cattlepult 2 days ago on Blacktide…

i haven’t got any problems with +1’ing more than one post in a thread.

Tuggernutz.2897:

I use to work at a restaurant so I know how it works. My issue was very minor and personally I would have loved to discuss it in private but there customer support does not allow that (I made a ticket and still have not had a reply).

Your issue wasn’t very minor in my opinion.
IF you worked in a restaurant, than tell me what would you do if in elegant restaurant your client would undress and sit naked… would you take your time and talk him out of it… NO, cause it would gross out other clients…
Your: “Client is never wrong” gets trashed when there are more clients against him….

And offensive names are things that aren’t liked by many…

On the subject of false positives with bot-banning:
It would be better if there wouldn’t been any, but i prefer 1 false positive (that gets sorted out), than 10 unbanned botters.

Parisalchuk.9230:

Anyone wana make a movie on how to get there without RTL? Spent an hour yesterday trying to get there, couldnt do it on my warrior. Very frustrating.

Yeah someone can:

For those having trouble locating the room.

Just watch the whole thing

MindlessRuff.1948:

Well the weapon you want to switch to will never change places if you put it in your first slot, …

Apparently you never used advanced bags – safeboxes/equipment boxes.

MindlessRuff.1948:

… and think of how much trouble Arena net would have implementing an out of combat weapon swap, they have much bigger issues to worry about at the moment.

They have a working mechanic for a weapon swap, and they have a working mechanic for controlling “in/out of combat” – for example normal slot weapon/equip swap.

So instead of disabling weapon swap for elems, they need to add one condition for activation of swap.

Tom Stone.3190:

The location where you camp is basically anywhere @ swamp – the event indicator should chjange from “Swamp lies dormant” to whatever pre event just had started. …

I’m not sure you’re 100% correct.
Group events form the meta-event chain are full map visible, but i think that preevents have smaller scope, and if you are outside of the scope you get the “No event in range” info (“Swamp lies dormant” in Behemoth chain).
But that may be only my notion about workings of event assistant with metaevents.

This comment is marvelous.

And on topic:
I saw the Behemoth on Blacktide quite recently.
Someone said he camped the swamp for hours, and nothing. I’m curious did you have someone at the pre-event locations to camp for them also?
Wiki says here about three portal locations to accomplish before swamp portals event starts.
