Guild Wars 2

The one the players are standing in.

Just going to past what I said in the last thread where someone was concerned with colorblindness for choir bells:

Colors don’t matter at all. As others said, just use normal keyboard bindings for your top row number keys. Place your left fingers on 1, 2, 3, 4 (skip five, and leave out your thumbs) and right fingers on 6, 7, 8, 9. Aim your camera so it’s facing down onto the circle. Far left panel is one, second to the left is 2, and so on. Watch the lights, and just press the corresponding button as the light is about to hit you.

-_- drat, was hoping it was a way around the impossible to get recipes for the endless tonics. Thanks!

If you combine 10 each t2-5 snowflakes, you will receive either 5 gifts or an endless tonic.

It’ll only give you gifts.

i got 2 tonics this way, toymaker and gift dolyak

That’s very odd, considering they’re only obtainable by making them with the recipe.

The fourth ingredient is mystic coins, and it makes snowflakes.

Colors don’t matter at all, and even if you have “fat fingers”, you should be able to get at least a few correct notes per song. As other said, just use normal keyboard bindings for your top row number keys. Place your left fingers on 1, 2, 3, 4 (skip five, and leave out your thumbs) and right fingers on 6, 7, 8, 9.

What notts said. When you double click or right click on them to use them, they just get added to your Finishers.

Do the wintersday stuff. You get a star that consumes empyreal fragments (up to 250 a day) just like Mawdrey II consumes bloodstone dust.

Tman.6349:

Do you have a brother/sister/wife/son that you can bribe and have them do it for you while you take a nap? That seemed to work for a few others.

Yup. My husband bribed me to do it for him.

Yeah, I’d have to agree that having the Daily Events be in starter zones doesn’t give the best experience to new players just starting out. I’d like to see it in 15+ zones only, leaving the newbie zones out of it.

I’d rather have to ring 1000 notes than have to do 30 rounds or 50 waves of Toypocalypse. I honestly just cannot stand Toypocalypse. I get so bored. However, I wanted to finish the meta, and I did it anyway.

Different people like different things. It’s unfortunate that you seem to be unable to handle this activity, but you’re going to have to just deal with it like everyone else has if you want the reward. I don’t really see the problem with having achievements from each of the activities count towards the meta. However, I can agree that having the dailies count as a replacement again would be nice (even if it was a case of three different days of Wintersday dailies equaling one meta achievement).

Psientist.6437:

To be fair to the OP, there are players like myself that just realized yesterday that they were using the ‘5’ key…..

I wouldn’t want me around either.

Yesterday I did one round with my hands one key too far to the right. I was very confused when I was suddenly kicked out of the ring, and then I looked down and saw where my hands were. It was shameful.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/New-Tonic-Snowflake-Mystic-Forge-Recipe/first#post4636979

I don’t see how the tiny break between songs is unfair. I almost always get a perfect score in there, so I’m definitely experienced, too. I think the little pause is good. It lets you talk in chat if you want to, accept the round reward/get the event credit off the screen, and reposition your fingers if needed. I appreciate the pause.

Yes, you can forge them, and they’ll act as any other rare accessory does in the forge. Or you can just salvage them.

That’s not the JP you go to for the ornament. It’s a different Orr JP.

Use normal keyboard keybindings for bell choir, and play it like a piano (left pinky finger on 1, ring on 2, third on 3, index finger on 4, nothing on 5, right index on 6, and so on). Angle your camera so it’s looking down at your part of the wheel, and press the corresponding button as each colored light is about to hit you.

And it’s not anet’s fault if someone can’t manage to get the content done. Many others are able to. I can sympathize with you (I didn’t get that JP at all the first year, but I finally got it last year after many tries), but yeah. That’s how it is.

And why can’t you do them?

Yeah, the golem can be a pain. But I didn’t have much trouble on my necro. Focus 5 is a boon strip, plus you have well of corruption and corrupt boon to strip boons. You can use flesh golem as a meat shield while you try to burst as much damage as you can. Use deathshroud often to stay alive.

I’ve not done it on a thief, but using Thieves Guild would probably help a bit if you start with that.

I agree that an official acknowledgement of these recipes no longer being craftable so that the Wiki can be updated about this. It’s pretty annoying.

Zator Nagirroc.5761:

Thanks for your answer, RoseofGilead, but I can currently make a Malign Bronze Rifle, which is a level 10 weapon, so that solution doesn’t appear to work for me, unless I am being really dense about something.

Now, this is a character that I used an experience scroll to get her to level 20. Just as a data point.

The one you were trying to make (with the vial of weak blood) is a level 5 weapon, which cannot be crafted, along with any other underwater weapons that are level 5 or less. Players cannot craft underwater weapons under level 5 anymore. Essentially, they don’t exist when it comes to crafting.

However, you can start crafting the 10+ ones in the discovery tab starting around crafting level 25. The Harpoon Gun section of the Production tab won’t show up until a higher level.

Since the NPE changes went in, you are not able to craft underwater weapons that are below level 8 (the level at which players are “introduced” to underwater combat). Once your Huntsman is able to make things above that level (level 10 weapons), you’ll be able to make the underwater weapons (the level 10 and up ones).

rhapsody.3615:

I mostly get annoyed that some pieces look so great together, but have different textures making it difficult to dye. Then I switch maps, and the colors look off again. Main culprit: TA armor!

Ditto. It can be pretty tough to dye a piece that has both metal and cloth (or another sort of combination) since the same color will look different on each weight type.

narwhalsbend.7059:

As much as I hate all the gem store and immersion-breaking tacky things, I did have the cat ears on my mesmer…

I have them on my dervish. She looks fabulous.

The forums are far from dead. And if it’s a bug, post it in the Bugs section.

I want norn ears on a necklace.

Well, I don’t personally feel the need to gamble over and over for a mini, so I won’t be doing any of that. Good luck to those who do, though!

Yeah, you’re in vapor form, which removes all of your downed skills until you leave it.

Yeah, it’s against the rules to call out people by name. And I’m pretty sure you could get at least a 72 hour ban for harassing someone whose name you found on the forums (or for encouraging others to do so).

You’d only be able to use it on a human while it had that skin. If you changed the skin to a non-cultural one, you could transfer it to your other characters.

I don’t think that aura shows up when previewing a legendary. As for your question, OP, I’m not really sure, I’m afraid.

No other way, really. Farm the sparks while the Dwayna temple is uncontested, do the even for taking the Dwayna temple on as many characters as possible in a day, run each CoE path every day, run Fractals every day, farm champs and hope you get lucky, or farm high level pirates/aetherblades for heavy bags of booty (or skritt in wvw/Dry Top for heavy bags of skritt shinies or players in wvw for heavy loot bags). You can also try doing all the LS chapters on alts for bags of loot.

At least you’re not farming silver doubloons!

Seera.5916:

You can. I don’t think there are any soul bound items made in crafting disciplines.

Your Thief can make the items and put them in the bank. Your guardian can then withdraw them and use them.

You misunderstand. The OP wants to be able to take his thief’s crafting disciplines and transfer them to his guardian, so that the guardian now has max level crafting in the disciplines the thief did. Or at least I THINK that’s why OP means.

I’ve never really noticed a recurring balancing problem in EotM. Sometimes you’ll get a match where it’s clear one side is dominating because they have more people, but I don’t see that too often.

The thing I hated the most from GW1: Grinding out Faction/rep points. So, if GW2 were to add something like that, with grinding akin to what was in GW1, I’m not sure how I’d feel about it.

It’s not a bug.

Yeah, it says on the item it expands the stored materials, not your bank tabs. The bank expansion is a different item. But still, you could try contacting support for a refund.

Rikimo.2650:

I feel like it don’t make sense at all and zealot is the exoctic version while the keepers is the ascended version

The Ascended armor and weapons just have a title to them. The insignias and stats are still based on the same ones you can craft for exotics (zealot’s, celestial, berserker’s, etc.). They just have a name/title attached to them. For example: Zojja’s = berserker; Wupwup = celestial; Keeper’s = zealot). So, even though it’s called Keeper’s, it still zealot’s and made with a zealot’s insignia.

There’s no such thing as a Keeper stat. The Keeper armor has Zealot’s stats (power, precision, healing power). And Zealot’s gear is only craftable, which is probably why you can’t find any trinkets/accessories with those stats, since there is no Ascended jewelry crafting right now.

Neko Dudley.2495:

It should be in your bag. It looks like a dowel with an icon on it. If not, try again and see what happens.

That’s the icon for an inscription. Insignias look like a badge.

OP: do a search in your bags for “insignia”. If it doesn’t turn up, then maybe you didn’t actually craft it.

The easiest way for me was this:

Camp behind that pillar on the right side (facing the Mouth). Once the fight starts, start hitting the mobs circling him, taking them out one by one. Usually once you snipe one a couple of times, it’ll come to you, so you can burn them down quickly. Also, make sure you shoot down/run to any of the couriers because they’ll heal the Mouth. Once all the circling weapons are down, jump in the middle, and burn him down as much as you can. Once you notice he’s about to respawn his adds, jump back behind the pillar, and repeat. It’s not the fastest way, but it was the safest for me.

If you don’t want to use the pillar, just time your dodges carefully when you see him doing his attacks (the only attack you really need to dodge is the shockwaveish one).

Edit: And, for future reference, the other story possibility is much easier than this one. So, if you ever take another character through PS, choose the other option for taking out the Mouth of Zhaitan (taking out its “food source”).

The only other thing I can think of is the Noble Count outfit, but you can’t see the shoes for that one. But yeah, pretty near impossible to tell without a screenshot. :\

The Masquerade set is the only one I can think of with anything resembling a spider/spider web design.

The people were likely wearing a mix of different things. The boots sound like the winged boots (crafted set) or maybe the Apprentice set.

fracture.9754:

Yeah kitten this, just got another threat with ban.

I’m out of here, forums are useless for help with their own game. Sorry, seems like I must be too spoiled by companies such as Blizzard.

Are you sure you didn’t just get a mail saying your thread was moved to another forum? I find it odd that they’d infract you for them moving a thread.

That thread was started 22 days ago. So, that may or may not be the same issue(s) you’re having.

Wolfheart.1879:

Who is indisputably the most important person in all of MMOLand?: He who shelters us from the harshness of having issues addressed, and to whom we owe everything we have, including this wonderful communication?

1)Anet
2)Anet
3)Anet
4) Anet

On a serious note, I can understand why such a stipulation is in place, but I alo believe that it’s presence and particularly the seeming lack of information on the precise restrictions and duration, is a bit disrespectful to new players who buy the game for genuine playing and enjoyment, and also for those wanting alternative accounts, for similar purposes. Anet seem to indicate that until proven otherwise, everyone with a new account is a goldseller/scammer. In that, Anet, however much this system may prevent goldselling (surely they’ll just let the account mature themselves for however long then spam?), also shows a distrust and disrespect for new players. Not exactly a message Anet would want to give out.

How many new (as in brand new, not “just bought a second account after playing for a year”) players are going to buy two accounts and automatically have 200g to transfer between the two accounts? My guess is very few. Thus, this probably isn’t a common problem for new players.

Posts like this are better suited for the Bugs or Account/Tech Support sections. So, if you’re posting these places other than there, that could be why you’re getting deleted.

As for your issue, I’ve had no trouble logging in today.

niea.7504:

Tell me about it… I’ve been farming chests in Dry Top for days and haven’t seen a single carapace boot box. So tired of Anet’s RNG…

It might help if you open the correct chests in the correct zone.

ozmaniandevil.6805:

I did not look at every recipe the vendor has. When I went to craft the staff, I moused over the inscription and it just says “account bound on acquire”. I assumed then it was a drop. I didn’t check the wiki. BTW the wiki says you can get them from chests in Dry Top as well, so I was half right :p

Jeez people, no reason to get rude about stuff. Take a breath maybe.

The wiki says the WEAPON recipes (for just the Nomad weapons, not the amber ones) can be found in chests, not the inscription recipe.

Yeah, as was already said, this isn’t new, and it’s there to prevent hacked accounts from being drained to a new account. Once your character is so many hours/days old, it’ll be removed.
