Guild Wars 2

You’re the only one seeing this. It’s on your end only.

Relshdan.6854:

the female Hex outfit looks amazing in all abyss due to the sick helmet. well worth the 3 cob IMO.

He already got the outfit.

Convert the fangs, skulls, and candy corn to their refined versions.
Save them until the demand for them rises.
Make gold.

Yup, he just spawns semi-randomly. I most often notice him spawning shortly after the Viscount does.

I have it on my asura right now.

Neko Dudley.2495:

It’s RNG. I’ve gotten at least 20 from just opening bags as I get them. The people who end up winning this, though, will be one of the ones who bought gems with real money (multiple times, if needed), converted to gold, and then bought as many bags as possible.

Edit: Or bought as many candies from the gem store as possible.

There’s no point in buying it for stats at that level because you get replacements quickly. But it is cheap (as far as cultural armor goes) and worth it to unlock skins for later.

Depths.4051:

People don’t like dungeon sellers because anyone can have dungeon armor and weapons if they pay a dungeon seller.

I think you greatly overestimate how many people care about how other people earned their dungeon tokens.

Go find an area with lots of ambient creatures and farm there. I realize it’s not quite as convenient as spam-farming the opening seconds of a temporary instance, but it still gets you bags.

I was going to suggest the Idea Incubation Lab in Rata Sum, but people are currently camping the little spawn location for the group of five or six ambients. So, yeah.

Make sure you’re typing out exactly what it says, including the number of boosters in the stack you’re deleting.

Yes, I think it’s working as intended. This is how it worked last year, too.

I noticed the problem yesterday, too (before the patch). I was trying to buy the six superior runes. I put in 6 for the quantity, and it just gave me one. So, I did 5 for the quantity. Gave me one again.

No, Rush ends after 30 minutes. The puzzle is the one that lasts 5 hours. Maybe challenge, too.

Did at least one member of the guild stay in the map until the timer finished? I know at least back when our guild needed merit, we had to have at least one person stay in the zone until it completed to get the merits.

Khisanth.2948:

Ayakaru.6583:

It’s with all Pre-champs.
Same problem with the three warhounds at Modniir Ulgoth.
It seems if you just hit it once when it’s at 100% you ‘tag’ it and all other damage is irrilevent.

That only applies to the first part of the post though.

The second issue is that the loot from these champs will despawn with their corpse.

I didn’t notice that issue in the OP. But regardless, yes, the loot despawns with the corpse. That’s why you should pick it up ASAP.

Robwars.9386:

it hurts my eyes to see its the only blank achiev ive got and due to a known bug! thanks!

Not that I don’t kind of agree with the general idea of this thread, but come on now. Just don’t click on it; then your eyes won’t hurt anymore.

I just tested it on my human warrior and had no problems using other attacks while the chain was going.

No, it’s not an engi-only thing. It happens to all classes in any situation where a forced transformation occurs (charr and thaumanova fractals, AC p3, and any other similar palces).

I get bags from them (usually all three, but sometimes just two) every time I do the event.

When it comes to champs that drop loot, it helps to be in a party and to try to be one of the first ones to get hits in on the champ(s). If you’re in a party, your party’s shared DPS applies, and getting early hits in (in my experience anyway) and maintaining DPS usually guarantees a champ bag.

“Damage is clearly done and there seems to be a range of bugs that determine if you get a white bag or a gold bag”

If you’re in a lowbie zone, you have a chance of getting all types of champ bag, from white to orange. That’s not a bug; that’s just RNG.

That’s been in there since launch, for some reason. As MrTrainee said, just don’t trade for those boxes. The boxes are turned in during an event in Frostgorge Sound, and the event isn’t anything important. You can just destroy them.

Grandpa SaVa.5096:

Hi m8s,

Wanted to say again thanks for all the feedback

1 question remains, why did I receive these chests upon completing basic Teq achievements – like shooting from the turret or jumping over the tidal wave?

(those chests were displayed during the battle – so definitely not related to completing the kill…)

But no matter what, finally done with this achievement, time to complete the others

There weren’t any chests for completing those achievements; you simply got a pop up notice in the lower right corner saying you got the achievement. Any chest that popped up was probably just a coincidence (either an AP chest or daily/monthly completion chest).

I don’t get what the problem is. You have a +5 in your back and a +5 in your offhand weapon (for your second set). If you don’t currently have that weapon equipped (the scepter/focus being your currently shown weapon set), you don’t get the buffs from that weapon or its upgrades.

It would only count as one legendary, but you’d get all three of the skins.

jway.8293:

For the past weeks, my experiment result on stationary PvE mob (it stands still!!) is:
1.) Rush (always) misses if you are out of combat.
2.) Rush is much more likely to hit if you are in combat.

Out of Combat:
So funny when you Rush to enemy and you run pass/through the enemy just to swing your sword to hit a fly behind! (no, you actually hit nothing)

In Combat:
Your warrior will rush to enemy and NOT pass through it even when the animation is still showing you running/rushing; after the running animation finishes, it hits as the sword swings.

Are you targeting the mob before starting Rush? The only time Rush doesn’t hit a mob for me (in PVE) is if I don’t have it targeted.

961017, please.

Edit: All resolved.

scerevisiae.1972:

the real question is why is there rifles and pistols in a medieval fantasy game at all?

where are the: spears, halberds, pikes, crossbows, morning stars, etc?

This is a medieval fantasy game?

There’s at least a couple of Christian guilds I’ve seen promoting lately. There are quite a few lifestyle and belief-based groups in the game, as well as groups for almost any kind of niche you could imagine.

I never have problems with rush hitting when I’m going against a mob on flat terrain. If, however, I’m trying to Rush to a structure (such as a graveling mound in AC), it doesn’t work. Also, pebble in the road = stuck on the pebble forever.

So, I decided to try out weaponsmithing on one of my alts to see what’s up here. Like OP said, you couldn’t use the bronze spear head at all. You could use the large haft to make hammers, but you couldn’t make a spear. There was also no Spear category in the Production panel. Once I got to crafting level 25, I could make spears, but only with the level 25 tier of inscriptions (Givers, Healing, Precise, and Resilient). So, whether unintentionally or not, spears are not craftable until crafting level 25.

I wonder if the same applies for tridents and harpoon guns.

I’m not trying to be snarky or anything here, but are you absolutely sure you checked the correct tab? You have to go to the bank NPC (or crafting station), open the bank, click on Material Storage, and then scroll down to the bottom sections. All minis should be there.

It always seemed like I do more DPS when in front of Claw using my ranged weapons than I do with the bazooka.

The bazooka is only meant to be used on the ice wall. It does basically no damage to Claw.

I was referring to the wall. There’s a spot at 900 range right in front of him that you can reach the wall and not be standing in the chill radius.

I’ll edit my previous post to prevent future confusion.

Ahhh, I get what you mean now. Yeah, luckily normal weapons do good damage to it. There was actually a time when the only way to damage the ice wall was to use the bazookas and bombs. That was annoying.

StinVec.3621:

As for the arena portion, you must approach through one of the two gates and you will get a pop-up that offers what you want to fight. Ignore the NPC at the head area within the arena, he’s worthless.

Immediately stop moving when the pop-up appears, or move just far enough into the arena so you are past where the gate drops on the entrance. Moving any further in will dismiss the pop-up and you have to go all the way back out and back in to get it again.

With the pop-up on your screen, you should choose an option of what to fight. Be sure to not move at all until the “fuse” countdown is gone, the dialogue disappears and the gates slam shut behind you. Moving at any other time can cause the enemies to not spawn as you moved out of the real tiny activation area near the entrance gate.

So basically:

• Barely enter into the arena slightly beyond one of the entrance gates so you are slightly inside the gate but no further.
• Pop-up appears – stop moving once you inch in and are inside the gate
• Select your opponents
• A second or two after the pop-up disappears the gate will slam shut behind you and you can then proceed to kill the stuff you selected to fight
• Be sure to not move at all between the appearance of the pop-up enemy selection and the actual enemies spawning or it’ll cancel the fight – inching in to be sure you are actually past the gate is ok but be careful or you will dismiss the pop-up

You misunderstand. No prompt appears at all. Not even a flicker of one.

Fire Elemental used to have much higher HP and summoned a lot more of the flames and knockbacks. For some reason they reverted it back to its very low HP. I think going somewhere between the two would be nice. And as for the pre events, yeah, having the escort part split up into two or more escorts might be interesting.

But I have to say that I rarely see people not helping with the Shatterer pre events, especially now that the collection event scaling is fixed.

And I’d much rather see Claw’s time shortened rather than maintained. It takes longer than Tequatl does, which requires much more coordination than the “autoattack” fest of Claw. Lower the HP of the ice walls, pleaseeeee.

Brother Grimm.5176:

Ok. Don’t buy LVL 80 Pearls for that purpose….makes sense.

Per your statement, I don’t think Pearls can drop (I’ve never gotten one that I’m aware of), so that should be fairly simple rule of thumb.

Yup! But they can be “dropped” from the forge sometimes. Otherwise, they’re craft/TP only.

Brother Grimm.5176:

While this is true and a good tip, HOW do you tell if it was crafted or dropped?

The only crafted (as in at the crafting station) exotic weapons that would have those stats ( Rabid, Dire, Magi’s, Soldier’s, Cavalier’s, and Shaman’s) and not be able to return an inscription are the Pearl weapons, I believe.

As for armor, the exotic crafted sets also have specific looks and names and should be generally easy to avoid.

IronDuke.6380:

I’ve searched and cannot find when the fee’s will go back to the normal rate. I thought it was when the WvW season was over. Thanks for any help.

they will never go back to normal, all the gem prices and the gold to gem exchange is just gonna go up from here on out, i mean it’s been going up since the begining of the game

I’m pretty sure OP was talking about server transfer cost changes. Last wvw season the transfer prices were changed during the season and then moved back. This time, however, they were not.

Brother Grimm.5176:

If you want to play WvW with your Family so bad, you could ALL transfer to another server that isn’t FULL. I get it ‘s not ideal, but it’s a potential solution.

Note that if you do a reverse charge against the account purchase ALL accounts purchased on the CC are likley to be PERMA banned……I’d think long and hard about doing this (not to mention it’s going to negatively effect your credit rating as you DID get the product you paid for with your card). If you seriously want to pursue a credit, do so with the Anet Support team.

I second this. It’d be much easier to move the existing account to a less populated (but still active in WvW, if that’s what you’re wanting to play together) server, and then have the new accounts join that one. Yak’s Bend, Crystal Desert, Sanctum of Rall, Darkhaven, and Gates of Madness are all “Very High” population servers. Yak’s Bend has lots of numbers in wvw, I know.

The transfer fees didn’t change this season.

You haven’t been able to forge or salvage wvw weapons in a long, long time. They did that, as well as making it impossible to salvage karma gear, quite some time ago.

When I did it recently I was indeed more powerful than I was with my normal weapons, but I was just my normal size. I couldn’t remember if I was supposed to get bigger or not, so I didn’t think anything of that. But I also had the problem where I got overwhelmed once or twice, respawned, and then had all the mobs appear at the spawn point when I respawned.

The harpy event you’re talking about gets scaled up due to the amount of people standing around next to it (at the entrance to AC). That’s why the harpies are so much higher in level.

Trollhammer.7439:

>Ebonmane’s Greatbow: 2 +5 Agony resistance (total 10)
You have to have it as your active weapon to apply AR.

Yup, that.

Buy heavy crafting bags. They cost 1 laurel and contain t6 mats (3 per bag) which sell for quite a lot on the TP.

As far as armor goes, check out the Honor of the Waves armor. Lots of cloth.

Gasp!!!! I jus looked it up! It looks perfect! Totally going to get it! Thanks for letting me know!

No problem! It’s one of my favorite heavy sets.

I don’t think I’ve ever failed that event. You have two people at each entrance to kill them as they enter, right (3 entry points)?

Maybe there’s a bug, because even with 6-8 people I don’t remember there being Champion mobs. I don’t even remember there being Veteran mobs quite honestly, just lots of trash mobs.

The event was beefed up in a recent patch. It’s now a full-on group event with a daily reward chest. It’s much, much harder than it was before the September patch.

“The Harathi centaurs and their allies have called in elite reinforcements and champions to assist them in capturing Nebo Terrace from the Seraph. "

Daaaang, sounds awesome actually. I need to check it out. If I’ve learned anything from the forums, if someone says something is impossible, it probably just means it is somewhat difficult.

Well, impossible with the amount of people usually there. If there are about 20-30 people there then yes, it would be a lot easier.

Imagine doing tequatl with 5 people ^^

I’ve been at this event with large groups (20+). The amount of people won’t always matter.

As far as armor goes, check out the Honor of the Waves armor. Lots of cloth.

I’d love to pelt my enemies to death with tiny pumpkins.
