How many have seen the underwater legendaries used in combat?

Anyone?

Yeah. That’s what I thought.

I think four of us in my guild have Kraitkin. We’re our own special Kraitkin Club.

Immobulus is the one I’ve seen the least, I think. I’ve seen a good number of Infinite Lights, largely from people who grinded out the items to pvp forge the skin before they discontinued the pvp locker.

You’d still have to stop and forge them, which will take about a much time as vendoring them all does. Plus, you’re out 80g. Not a solution.

Hearts and Minds ; End Boss Fight *spoilers*

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Just taking this suggestion at face value: If everyone can rejoin the fight, instead of being put in the waiting cell, does that make it possible to simply throw bodies at him until he dies? Is that what people want?

If not, is there a middle ground between that and how it currently works? Maybe checkpoints during the boss fight?

Checkpoints would be nice, but at the same time, I don’t think that’s TOO necessary. Honestly, I’d be fine with staying dead and not being ported to the “penalty box”. Just move our bodies to the center of the area (or anywhere that won’t interfere with any interactions needed for the fight). That way we’d at least have the chance to be rezzed a tiny bit, here and there, if we’re in there with a party, and we’d actually be able to help again if we managed to get fully revived. And then maybe add a mechanic similar to the Molten Boss where everyone who is dead or downed at a phase change (or at least once, at 50%) gets revived.

Typo in NPC conversation

RoseofGilead.8907

That’s not necessarily a typo. The actual phrase is, indeed, “another think coming” and not “another thing coming”. It was misheard and misspoke so often that “thing” became the accepted version in many places.

daily activity is in Lion’s Arch, there’s an NPC that you talk to to join in on the minigame. It works.

The day the OP wrote this, the activity NPC (a couple of them, actually) didn’t work. That’s why they said that.

Sephiroth armor???

Have you tried going to your bank, clicking on Wardrobe, and then just trying on/previewing all of the skins for light armor? That’d probably be the best way for you to find the exact look you’re going for.

RoseofGilead.8907

Yeah, the RPers in GW2 use custom emotes to roleplay, with occasional things done in /say chat. As penelope said, “bigger fish to fry”; there’s no need for them to change chat to allow for this, and putting someone to work on doing it would take work away from a more important thing.

Yeah, you submitted a bug report rather than a support ticket. Do as Trogdor suggested above. Unfortunately, since it’s been this long since the deletion, they might not return the item. But there’s no harm in trying.

It’s a bug. A full relog of the game will usually fix it. If that doesn’t fix it, then using the portal stone or logging into GW1 and back out can fix it, too.

What’s strange is I remember the Lion’s Arch NPC appearing as she normally should before I went into Fractals (around 2 minutes after reset). I moused over the icon on the mini map to see which activity was the daily activity, saw it was Southsun Survival, and then opted to do Fractals first/instead. By the time I was out of Fractals (about 15 minutes later), the icon was gone, and the NPC was broken.

Some things should not be dailies

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

I think Scavenger’s Chasm is a bad choice for a daily because it’s one that requires more than just jumping to the chest. So many people who had never done (or even heard of) this JP kept shouting that the JP completion was bugged because they didn’t realize they had to do an extra step (or 12 steps) to fully complete it.

That depends on what you think the goal of the daily should be. If the goal is to lead players through all the content that the game has to offer then it is no better or worse than any other JP. If the goal give people some stuff they can quickly do for whatever then maybe not such a great choice . It will probably cycle through every JP in the game.

True enough. And yeah, it’s going to cycle through all of the JPs probably.

As for the other dailies, today’s just ended up being an unlucky pull. Some of the activity NPCs suddenly decided to stop working (an obvious bug), and Master of Monuments didn’t convert to Master of Ruins (either a bug or an oversight on the part of Anet when they popped the Alpine borderlands back in). Having the dailies bug this much on one day has never happened as long as I’ve been doing dailies (or at least that I can remember). So, just hang in there; we’ll have better pulls for the next daily.

Edit: And you don’t have to run the bomb to get credit for Griffonrook (for daily or for the JP achievement). All you have to do is run up to the correct chest (not the first chest you come to).

Magic Carpet and Broomstick suggestion

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Please devs, don’t do this. A gemstore item that grants permanent swiftness would really play havoc in WvW. It would really suck if it became a required purchase to keep up with the rest of the group you’re running with in order to keep up.

I don’t understand why people keep asking devs to deliberately place poser creep in the game.

I’m pretty sure you can’t use them in wvw anyway.

Magic Carpet and Broomstick suggestion

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

I’d suggest only using the broom or carpet to glide only if you are using it, but not make a glider skin.

But they will probably make a 700 gem skin…

They would probably just do what they did with the black wings where previous owners get a free glider and new buyers can get the pack. It wouldn’t even be that pricey given how much cheaper the toys are to the backpacks.

The fact that the toys are so much cheaper than the glider skins or the combo packs makes me very doubtful that they’d let us get the glider version of the toys for free just by owning them. If they ever did this (and I’m doubtful they would, really), they’d make us buy the new one, I’d think. Or they’d make us pay a certain amount of gold to an NPC to upgrade it.

Magic Carpet and Broomstick suggestion

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

I’m not really against the idea, but I’m also having a hard time caring enough to say I’m for it. If I want to be silly while moving around aimlessly (or even not-so-aimlessly), I’ll use the carpet or broom because it looks silly. If I want to actually get somewhere quickly, I’m going to either be using a waypoint or running in my normal appearance so that I can avoid the visual distraction of a carpet/broom while I’m trying to avoid mobs and whatnot. Even if the movement toys did have a speed boost, it wouldn’t make me use them more often because of the visual distraction element.

Edit: If you want to use the toys with a speed boost, then get the Pact Commander mastery up, and use the toys in cities. You’ll have a speed boost.

During AB meta earlier, people started talking about how strange the Exalted suddenly look. After looking for myself, sure enough, all Exalted models I saw (including the tonic form) have some kind of glitch going on around the hands/arms. It persists while moving, and things get REALLY weird when you’re in one of the Exalted armors and trying to use the attacks, apparently. I took a couple of screenshots of the tonic form to show what I’m talking about.

Yes and yes. Just don’t transmute another skin onto the precursor weapon.

Precursor mystic forge vs the collections.

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

The absolute quickest way would be to buy it from the TP (if you have enough gold) or buy gems, convert to gold, and then buy it from the TP. As for whether the forge or collection is “faster”, there’s no real way to answer it because the forge relies on RNG. You could get lucky and get it on your first forge attempt, or you could spend 500+g trying before getting it, or you could never get it. The collection doesn’t really take too much time, but it does take a lot of ascended mats (costly) and doing stuff in various parts of pve.

If you ordered the HoT+gem bundle, then that’s just how it is; it does warn us when we purchase it that it can take up to 72 hours, at least. The 72 hour wait is simply there to make sure your card and info aren’t being used illegally.

When the stated goal of op is to “educate” the masses I think there is an agenda there.

Fair enough. I admit I haven’t read any of OP’s posts safe for the original post (and I only skimmed that one because Penguin posts to create heated discussions), and so if he said that, yup, he has an agenda. My point was that there is no overarching “gay agenda” or any similar agenda, which keeps being brought up.

Did you do a full relog (close to desktop and restart) and try logging onto a different character? Because this seriously always fixes the issue for people who have HOM points. If you did all of that, then, yup, make a support ticket.

That’s how it’s supposed to be, yeah. But there’s been a bug where your Human character will hear/say it if ANY other player uses it. That’s probably what he’s talking about.

Ad Infinitum Not Legendary Credit?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

FYI, this belongs under bug reports, not gen discussion that being said, they probably thought as you did that as long as it was made and worn, it’d count, and skipped over doing a “cavity search” of the code. Unfortunately, in practice, the achievement likely counts when an UNbound legendary item BECOMES bound. Items that are BoA probably get ignored as a result, as those would also include the gifts n stuff I believe.

It’s probably more that the achievement was never converted from accepting only weapons to accepting weapons, back items, and (in the future) armor. It either needs to be re-named or re-done to allow back items/armor.
