Guuuys, more over – in Gendarran Fields both in villages and pirate hideouts appeared “suspiocius barrels”. But when you open them, it says they are empty.
The barrels are just part of a guild bounty hunt. :p
They said in the livestream today that no gathering nodes will be located inside Fractals.
CoF 1
SE 1 or 3 (if you have groups who know what they’re doing)
Hotw 1
AC 3 (even path 1 can be fairly quick if you have an experienced group with an elementalist or two)
All of those typically take my groups 15-25 minutes.
“Please tell me how I can stop attacking. As escape often doesn’t work for me (and my character keeps on attacking). The only way I can stop attacking is turning my back to the foe…”
Just click on something that’s not an enemy. You’ll stop attacking. Or you can clear the condition.
The first set of mobs (the bombers after the bridge, that is) isn’t even that bad, though. I mean, yeah, I enjoyed being able to skip them. But, in the case of SE p3, those bomber mobs are easy to handle as long as you don’t have someone trying to just run through them all.
My groups have done the second skip just fine every time.
Hey everyone! We’ve found that there is indeed an issue with Mad King Says rewards and are currently looking into a fix.
If you didn’t receive the mask, try participating in Mad King Says using a character that did not receive a Mad King Says reward (Witch’s Hat) last year. This should get around the issue and let you get the Mask of the Night.
Mad King Says runs until Friday Nov 1st at 9AM PDT, so you will still have an opportunity to participate. Thanks for your patience!
I got the hat on my warrior last year. I didn’t get the mask on her when I tried this year. After hearing this tip, I tried on my necro. I still didn’t get the mask. So, yeah, this work around doesn’t seem to work for everyone.
Yeah. It’s a bit of a kick in the gut. Last week my server was against two other servers right about on our same level; the match up was close all week, and playing was actually fun. This week, we’re against two servers waaaaay bigger than ours.
For leveling, I’d also go with minions and traiting for those. And I also leveled mine with an emphasis on condition damage rather than power. While leveling, I used scepter/dagger and staff the most.
Now, once you reach 80, it’s a different story. I switch between a condition build and a zerker build on mine (and have gear for both cases) now.
There is a Block function, yes, but it only blocks that person from Whispering you and such. And the Block list is account-wide.
Ciaran: You could put in a support ticket to ask them about it. https://en.support.guildwars2.com/
OP, reports aren’t instantly reviewed, so what action could you expect to be done that quickly? The Report button isn’t an Insta-Kick or Insta-Ban button; it’s just there to let you report them to the proper people so that they can act.
Getting massive lag after most recent patch
in Account & Technical Support
Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907
After yesterday’s patch, I noticed lag/rubber-banding in Sparkfly Fen in Crystal Desert. When I tried to do the next Tequatl event, I was DC’d and experienced even worse lag/rubber-banding. I did one more Teq event after that; the lag was worse than ever, AND I DC’d four times during the event. After that, I just logged off and figured I’d try again this morning. Same story. DC’d twice, and massive lag whenever I managed to actually get back into the main server map.
My computer isn’t the best, but it does the job. I’ve not had lag this bad since beta, and I’ve never had DC problems until after getting that last patch. And I’ve seen other players in my guild (and in the general map chat) complaining about the same thing. Is there anything to be done about it?

Are you on the same character you used to complete SAB 1? Because each character had its own progress.
So, last night I was 3/4 done with my monthly, having completed Group Event Completer, Champion Slayer, and Puzzle Jumper. Now, after the patch, I’m down to 1/4 done because you took out Group Event Completer and Champion Slayer. I guess I’m glad that I got to keep the achievement points I got for finishing them, but I am a bit annoyed that I have to go back and do that work again for other categories now.
In my experience with Balthazar, having all three invasions get to Rally makes no difference in the success rate.
Ask in LA map chat or use the gw2lfg website.
You don’t have to clear any temples other than Gates of Arah, and most servers clear that pretty regularly anyway. And yes, once you have Arah open, you’ll have to get four other people to join you for the dungeon.
Before they changed the champion mob, I pretty easily beat the story mission on necro, warrior, thief, and ranger. After they changed it, I beat it alright on my engie and mesmer, BUT I encountered the resetting issue time and time again when I tried on my guardian and ele. In the end, I got a guildie to help me on my guardian. As for the ele try, I ended up having to stack might with my fire spells and then use my ice bow to get him and the locusts down before they could kill me to death.
This is a definite pain in the butt, and that fix for it needs to go in.
I finished the puzzle two weeks ago, and I did not get the shoulder piece. So, it seems its either no longer guaranteed or completely removed as a drop.
Thank you for the response for this!
Two people in my party also got the same error, as did at least a dozen other people waiting in front of the dungeon entrance. It made us completely lose our progress that we’d made for over an hour. Very frustrating. 
Edit: The two people from my party (one of them being me) were both in the main LA server, not in Overflow. And you get the error when you’re entering the dungeon, not when you’re entering LA.

In the past three nights I have lost 120+ CoE tokens, 60+ HoTW tokens, an exotic weapon, several rare weapons, and many things I gathered. I love this game, but I shouldn’t have to worry about losing my loot anytime I rezone after a dungeon or an event.
Yup. Went to switch maps and was booted.
This means to play together, we have to guest. I would love to be able to guest more than 2 times a day.
From what I understand, you can guest on up to two WORLDS at a time, not two times a day but all day during that 24 hour period.
Yeah. I have noticed what you mean about other pieces from sets not dropping, but I think that pretty much all the armor we get for story completion has identical sets that can be made through crafting. Not sure what the others would be, though.
It’s called “leather” on the wiki page for crafting (listed as “outlaw” on a second crafting page, though), and it’s called “outlaw” in-game when crafting. Exact same armor, though.

The set you linked to is the set I made with leatherworking. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_armor_sets#Crafted_armor_sets
The leather set is crafted. You can make all the pieces for that set through crafting.
Simple answer:
You play the game your way. I’ll play it mine.
That.
I’d rather have quaggan spam than the drivel that was being tossed around in CD’s mapchat last night. Misogyny, grape jokes, and racism. Oh my!
Yeah, the floating away glitch happened to a guy in my party last night. It was the funniest thing I’d seen in a while. It did suck that it happened, though.
Yeah. Like the numerous guilds that left Crystal Desert (and other servers) the weekend before free transfers ended.
I think the current system (no upgrades and influence carry over) is a pretty good one.
Yeah, that bothers me, too, haha.
I agree that it would be nice to choose our monthlies.
I didn’t see it say that for monthlies.
This would be hilarious if OP weren’t serious.
I don’t remember them promising to let us choose our monthlies. They only ever said we’d do that with our dailies, unless I missed something.
Grandmafunk: You can very much guest on other servers and to get more than one chest per char per event.
Crystal Desert is having the same problem as TC and JQ, especially right after the daily reset. A lot of people at the events are from our server, but many, many are guesting from other servers.
It’s happening on pretty much all of the medium high/high population servers. JQ, TC, CD, etc.
Something does need to be done about it, but I have no idea if anything is possible without taking away guesting completely. :\
This is starting to happen in Crystal Desert, as well. The lag is always there, but right after the daily reset, the events (especially dragon events) are nearly impossible to deal with. The Megadestroyer event crashed (kicked all the players out and then was gone when they got back on). Claw of Jormag lagged so badly that Claw didn’t even have time to do any sort of attacks, and there was up to about a 20 second delay in your own attacks actually going off.
I really love that people can guest on other servers, but it’s causing a lot of problems in these big events (and on the maps the events take place, since people on the other side of the map experience lag during these events now).
I saw the same thing at the krait event you’re talking about, lures. There seemed to be a disproportionate amount of dead people (including many people who are veteran players) at that event, considering I’d done a few events in Cursed Shore (Penitent and Shelter’s Gate, plus Plinx) before that where I saw no mass deaths like this.
I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but I didn’t see anything when I searched.
The dragon timers at GWtemple have been pretty accurate all the time since I’ve been using them. Last night, I saw people from several servers say that the pre-events for Shatterer started and then were immediately finished, and Shatt then immediately spawned. No wait time between the supposed finishing of the pre-events; just immediate dragon spawning. When I did Shatterer just now on my server (Crystal Desert), the same thing happened. No pre-events; just immediate dragon. Is this a bug? Or is this just a tweak on the dragon fight (ie. no more pre-events or different set-up for them)?
Group events will say “Group Event” on the screen. Maw, temple events, giants (like Kol and the one at Nageling in Diessa), the sepratist event at Nageling in Diessa Plateau, dragons, etc. Those are group events.
As others have said, this isn’t a new process. It’s been there as long as I’ve been playing.
