Guild Wars 2

Yes they’re broken, somehow the DR system flagged you for no reason.
Quite a few people are being flagged by it

I got 30 – 20 and 2 tokens for my runs.

Kitten.8051:

You know whats worse? I have been consistently screwed over by diminishing returns ever since they put them in, and the 25th September patch made it worse for me. My last run I got 1 token, no xp and no gold, I didn’t think that was even possible.

However, that’s not the worst part. I reported this and when I finally get a ‘response’ the GM tells me its all BEEN FIXED in the september 25th update and that I should read the patch notes!

WOW.

They didn’t even read my problem and are refusing to acknowledge that their patch hasn’t worked for half the player base.

That’s Kitten.

So you’ve been getting 1token for each run since?

2) Dungeons reward 20 tokens for completion and now reward an additional 40 tokens for the first time they are completed each day. This means that if players can complete all 3 chains of a dungeon in a day, they’ll receive a total of 180 tokens, which is enough to purchase some of the smaller rewards.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Update-Notes-September-25th-2012/

According to this, I shoulda gotten 60 for each path, and the 20 for repeating the same path.

well that blows.

well that works, thanks

I still cant combine the Ascalonian Tokens from one character to another.

When I hit O, I see 3 unidentified Dyes.
When I look in my inventory, I cant find it.
Its not in any of my bags.

And ontop of that my Arah tokens are also missing.

Whats up?

So the first time I did Arah, 3 whole hours.
I was supposed to get 60 tokens but no I got 30…

Then Ascalonian Catacombs.
Did all 3 paths, instead of getting 60 per path, I get 30 – 20 – 2

Is there a reason why the DR system is flagging me?

Really hoping the patch update comes out tonight.

Jade Quarry too, last I checked, his HP bar is at null and hes physically gone, but the event wont end.

Paladin.5268:

Adding bump because Anet refuses to respond to this. Weeks without a fix, I honestly am beginning to think their coding has major efficiency issues, as something like this would not go this long with RIFT.

At the very least, RIFT support would spawn the NPC’s while their devs worked on a hot fix, or support would just credit those who placed a ticket about it, once it was a known issue.

Lack of support will have a big impact here, and so far the lack of any type of real support is staggering. They do not have the tools to flag our characters for this SP??

I was under the impression that there was going to be a new patch at midnight like they did for the past 2 weeks, the infamous dungeon patch.

Bump to front page coz this is important

I play fun is a stupid argument and you should feel bad.

Thank you.

BillFreist.1527:

If you guys are still hitting this issue on the Enchanted Bow skill challenge, this is because the fix didn’t make it into tonight’s build . We have the fix and will put it into our next build, which hopefully will be sooner than later.

We’re sorry about the hassle this has caused a lot of you. I can assure you that this skill challenge nightmare will be over soon.

-Bill

How soon?
Theres literally 15 people in JQ standing ontop of the balcony at any given just waiting for it.
I was expecting a patch update tonight or atleast a server restart.

Should just let us go into overflow at will peroid.

Still Broken for Jade Quarry
No server reset or Patch update

I dont want to take the chance of leaving this awesome server to a lowly populated server that might have this issue aswell and not be able to come back to JQ, and it’s been a week for me since I’ve got all the places in Malchor’s Leap done cept for ths one skill Challenge.

Any Devs care to elaborate their plans for this skill challenge bug, theres lots of people on my server waiting for it too.

my home server claw of yormag is bugged and wont die.

I mean hes dead but he didnt drop the chest and the progession is still there.

Oh yeah and the malchors leap SP at fayt falladin is still bugged

That’s the necromancer armour from Guildwars.
Looked better in Guildwars too :|

Doesnt translate too well in guildwars2

thank goodness i play a ranger and a sword pistol thief.

:|

probably a server reset + patch update, just chill

would be nice to enter spvp or wvw as a team innit?

yup that would be nice if grouping meant your contributions are shared.
right now the only perk of grouping is so you can keep track of each other’s location.

i just want that one skill point from melchor’s leap to not be bugged, some one needs to change it to a communing type of skill point or make sure the npc doesnt die -.-

SamTheGuardian.2938:

I know exactly what you mean and I also have determined why it feels this way (for me anyway).

1.) The game’s action-combat is very independent focused. You really don’t need anyone else (except to res you on occasion) so you end up playing with others but you aren’t putting team strategy to work. You don’t need them and they don’t need you. Although I never liked the holy trinity. I think strategic team work is important outside of explorable dungeons. As a level 78 who’s cleared the 60-70 zones I can tell you this does not change and in fact the feeling only gets worse to the point that you begin to realize this core element of GW1 and well pretty much any MMO is missing.

2.) All dialog, scripting, writing, etc… All the work ArenaNet put into the STORY of the game the player is going to experience is isolated to this Personal Story instances (little green stars guide you there). This is somewhat tailored for your character based on race, profession and character creation choices. This the the part of the game that gives the player a sense of progressing forward towards a greater goal and it’s designed to be played entirely solo! What’s more, you can’t repeat any of it! Most players are doing these instances alone and pulling in friends only when they have to. That is how they are designed to be played. This adds to the lonely experience because you are experiencing the best parts of the game and the scripted story alone.

The combination of these things makes GW2 feel like the loneliest MMO ever. The only players don’t need you, you don’t need them and they are rarely with you when you are experiencing the best parts of the game. How is this good design for an MMO again? I get “we’re going to innovate” but how is this good?

Its a similar design they had for their first game, only then you could even do everything with just hench people and heroes and just heroes later on and much later… alts.

But the dynamic events, do bring people together, a lot more than what ive experience from other MMOs, so that counts for something.

But as far as playing with people…. theres no real incentive but I dont think there should be (there is one actually a title for having high combo counts). This part of the game isnt up to the game to tell people to, Alright you must hold hands for the entire lenght of the game.

It should be up to the people to work together on a non global scale event, like just helping someone find that one missing poi they have or getting that hard vista showing another person a jumping puzzle, but yeah people are just too busy doing their own thing and still stick to the old fashioned MMO mentality, must solo everything.

I agree.
If people repeat doing dungeons because they get something in return, then someone whos never done a dungeon before will have an easier time to LFG.

Rather than sit and wait outside a dungeon for 2 hours screaming LFG only to be blocked by the game by spam.

You mean like how sometimes when you back up into a wall the camera starts jerking back and forth?

I hate when that happens :\

Did you use to Fort Aspenwood as an elementalist?

well its malchor’s leap… :|
Im one skill point away from completing it, do you know how annoying that is

JonPeters.5630:

First of all there are a handful of targeting bugs that we are addressing right now.

Once those are solved we will try and design a stickier targeting option for those players that want to keep their target a little bit better.

Personal tip since this happens to me a lot. I lose my target a lot because I am ground targeting and click a bunch of times to fire it off, after the skill has fired, the subsequent left clicks end up deselecting. I have started using my mouse to aim, but double tapping any ground target skills on the keyboard which has mitigated a lot of my issues.

Jon

I really hope ranger pets AI is in the list of priority fixes, There really should be no reason why my pet is standing 5 meters infront of me when we come to a stop :S

Thats bad doggy discipline in real life XD

Cik.6479:

No friggin way, imho. There should be no target lock at all. As a matter of fact this should be the game of skill it isn’t; at least one has to re-acquire their target at times.

Really?
I hope you play with auto attack off.

But back to the point.
Yeah it would be nice just like in guildwars where you dont lose your target for some odd reason, Melee doesnt have this problem but when you range, its quite an issue.

But in any case this thread should be in suggestion forum for future reference.

I expect this one skill point to not be bugged

Bloodtau.4672:

Jack of Tears.9458:

Thief stealth only lasts a couple seconds … so you want to take away their stealth completely, on top of doing damage to them? Heck, while we’re at it, let’s take away their traps and guns.

BS. There are Thieves out there who can be in stealth pretty much permanently AND attack while in stealth.

well then they’re really good thieves.
Either that or you’re effected by culling

KittyWitty.7813:

Thieves are completely OP? I personally have no trouble with any thieves. They heartseeker me? I take hardly any damage, I’m more scared of the tanky condition built ones with their bleeds. If I see one, it generally means a free kill for me or I scare them away from the point. They’re very squishy and I can usually 5-6 hit them and I have hardly any power at all. If you build a glass cannon and then get ambushed by another glass cannon can you really claim that they’re OP?

Dont under estimate the power of dagger skills 5 and skill 1 from behind

Come play on jade quarry I’ll be your friend lol

We’ll exchange skype tags and stay on voice while we play
It’ll be grand.

Hell we could even start our own guild and invite only cute girls to be members.

@Drintar as a ranger i can safely say that legendary bow is not for me lolol.

But hay if they dont want the dungeon finder, dont use it.

Even when I pug up for story mode Id tell the newbies who dont know the map yet what to expect.

And if Gw2 says its game is what it wants its game play to be like which is noticing your environment and taking advantage of it, you dont need to someone to type down for you “Go leap or whirlwind into my combo field” any smart player who plays it the way Gw2 expects you to play it would automatically see that visual cue and take advantage of it without having to type or talk.

All dugeon finding does it helps people find groups faster

Jack of Tears.9458:

Thief stealth only lasts a couple seconds … so you want to take away their stealth completely, on top of doing damage to them? Heck, while we’re at it, let’s take away their traps and guns.

And knives too!

The music is amazing.
Destiny’s Edge voice acting was splendid.

However towards orr you feel like they ran out of budget.

One woman does 3 voices and she doesnt even try to hide it.

Caithe and Eir are the same person BOOM MIND BLOW

But Captain Jayne, Merry (pirates wife) and Priestess of Grenth are the same person with that annoyingly optimistic high voice which makes me wanna do horrible things.

Still can’t sit in chairs or hold a mug of ale and drink it and taverns dont have bartenders :S

Yup go to Frostgorge, fun well designed and action filled.

Orr… is just… Melchor Leap especially is horrible

Its ridiculous, you barely make ends meet.

People dont wanna do dungeons anymore because of the difficulty, low rewards and high risk.

You could LFG and hope, also depends on your server.
Some servers like Fort Aspenwood, are just plain horrible at dungeoneering.

Some people have been suggesting Anet put a dungeon finder system where you can queue for a dungeon and go off doing other things, but there are people who are against it. Odd huh?

Oh well.

80 ranger 80 thief

6/10
The fact that I have to slow down my game play so I dont run out of content (monetary rewards to pay for ingame tax) is ridiculous.
So instead of continuing what ive been doing, clearing 2 maps at a time, Im doing 1 map a day.

Money money money.

Personally I like it this way, I get to sell more dye.

But hay if they change it, ill still get to sell dye, so either way win win

Valkyrie.2678:

If you find GW2 nothing different, I’m afraid you’re already done with whole MMO topic since GW2 is the only one different but you don’t think so.

However, I think this vision of yours is caused by frustration out of something regarding the game, just like any other negative comments on any other game’s forums.

The Secret World
except instead of binding you to your weapon skills alone, the secret world allows the freedom of a build much like guildwars.

Your first 7 skills are determined by your weapon and is not limited to just 7 skills.

Theres also no classes, no levels and no restrictions.

Indeed, I keep hearing theres no quests in guildwars2 and I’m like. really?
Heart Quests arent quests?

Further more wanting to get the reward is more grindy than anything especially when the dungeons use cheap tricks like mobs with high HP and can 1 – 2 shot you.

Yeah you shoulda seen my team of 5 thieves :|

Zero casualty

thats odd, coz as a thief I help others by helping myself
When I smoke screen to stop projectiles, hitting me, it also helps people standing behind my smoke screen

When I shoot black powder shot into someone using a whirling attack, it causes aoe blind, it helps me and helps the team.

Ranger is one more the more selfish classes I guess

Im being forced to sit outside of the game because melchor’s leap is bugged as hell.

But good for you, glad you’re enjoying it

in guildwars it used to be c space spam.

But heres the thing i dont like about Gw2 say you tabbed through the targets, and found the right target you try to call it by ctrl and clicking portrait, it doesnt work. Why doesnt work?
