Guild Wars 2

I think Charged Lodestones are fine, but I agree that the other lodestones should be just as hard to get and expensive.

And legendaries should be rare, I don’t want any Scavenger hunt either for the precursors. Soon everyone will be walking around with one, that’s no fun.

That would explain it, since I’m always swapping between staff and greatsword. Happens almost every time at the CoF end boss.

Yeah often happens to me when I open the mini chest in the Fire Shaman fractal. The chest takes like 3 seconds to open and the cinematic always interrupts it. But the loot doesn’t disappear, it’s in your inventory. You just don’t know what you got.

Hello,

To put it shortly, sometimes the weapon swap button doesn’t work (in combat). At first I thought it was just me, but then I had a couple of other people in a dungeon tell me to wait because they couldn’t swap weapons, I realized it wasn’t just me.

Short description, even though the weapon swap is not on cooldown the button still stays grey. The timer on it runs out, yet it still remains grey. When this happens, I have to go to hero panel and manually click the button there to make it work again.

I have only seen this happen to Guardians (which my character also is), and I don’t know if other classes have this.

Seems to happen regardless of the place I am in.

Hope this gets fixed soon. Thanks.

If it’s a bug, how come it hasn’t been fixed yet? It can’t be too hard to fix, just copy that part of code from some other legendary.

Luckily I hadn’t started flushing down rares in the toilet, when Dusk dropped for me in Cursed Shore.

I’m pretty sure Anet didn’t realize how much harder Charged lodestones are to get than the other lodes when they created the recipe for Mjölnir.

I’m ok with them being more rare, it makes my Sunrise seem so much better when I know how much trouble I’ve had to got through for it. But 350 for Mjölnir, kitten that’s just brutal. If you sold the 350 charged lodes you could almost buy Twilight or Sunrise. That just blows my mind. xD

I agree, this has been discussed a lot, but it also bothers me so much.

1) Why does the weapon information say “Legendary” if it doesn’t count as one for the achievement? The color is purple, not orange or pink.

2) Why don’t Twilight and Sunrise only require half the materials to craft if Eternity is the Legendary?

3) Eternity should have a different, more epic skin, as it requires double the materials to craft than other Legendary weapons.

I think it’s worth it. I also need 100 for Sunrise (The only thing I’m missing are the lodestones) and I’ve been farming them for a few hours each day this week. I’ve been farming at the gates of Arah, which seems to be the best place, and at Malchor’s Leap. And man, they are pretty rare. I’ve been getting about 1 lode per hour spent. Once I got 2 within 40 minutes, once I didn’t get any for 2 hours. It’s pure luck. I run with roughly 100% magic find. Have to admit, it’s not really worth the time and effort.

I think I’ll just start farming gold and buying cores. Even though dust is one of the most expensive tier 6 mats, it still saves a lot in the end. And dust price doesn’t shift so much.

I farmed Sparks at the gates of Arah with about 110% Magic Find and got 1 Charged Lodestone in less than an hour. If you really spent ~10 hours and didn’t get one, you were just really, really unlucky.

Although I understand, I need to get these for Sunrise. Gonna be one hell of a farm, since I really can’t afford to spend 300g buying them from TP. Whenever I see one for less than 3g I immediately buy it.

Also, the Orrian Jewelry boxes have such a low percentage to drop Lodestones you could almost call it a waste.

Hello, there’s a Waypoint with a really high-bug level in Malchor’s Leap. I’ve ported to Union Waypoint twice this week, and both times I’ve gotten stuck inside the ground. Then I’ve had to re-port to the waypoint to get out, so I’ve had to pay double for the journey. Any refunds?

-Union Waypoint
-Malchor’s Leap

I struggled there for ~2 minutes and then gave up and ported again. Twice now.

-Human
-Female
-Guardian

So I got the “Shard of the Deep” as a drop from Tequatl the Sunless, and it seems to be a little bugged. It appears to be upside-down when un-wielded on the waist. And when you wield it, it flips around. It appears the same way no matter what armor I have equipped:

I don’t care who I play with. Most of the time the runs are pretty smooth, sometimes they aren’t.

Like this, we were doing a couple of AC runs with the guild but we were missing one player, so we took a random. He was precisely lvl 35 Thief, who had just done story. Don’t remember his name, so let’s call him “Steve”.

So we got to the burrow part, where you have to defend Hodgins and destroy the burrows. I am a Guardian, so there I was aggroing the lizards and then I saw Steve run there and help me and I was like “STEVE, WATCH OUT!” Next he was bouncing around and died lol, it was so funny, I laughed so hard. He also had some trouble running past the lizards near the end, but he made it. Died during the first minute in the final boss, was revived when we won and had no shirt on.

Then I told him “Steve, we made it to the end!” and he was so happy.

I just leave the first “c” out, so it’s like:

ori – halcum

Whitey, I did the-

You can try creating a new shortcut of GW2.exe to your desktop.
Right click on the shortcut file and add this line – /clientport 80 – at the end of the Target Field. DO NOT PLACE IT INSIDE THE QUOTES, see example below:
“D:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” /clientport 80

-thing and now I can play it, even though it still disconnects me every 10-30 minutes on a regular basis.

- No original GW account
- Finland (Gmt+2)
- I am able to play at morning, but after 16-17 when people come back from work/school (???) I am no longer able to play, and this keeps going ’till late night.

Having the same error, haven’t been able to play at all this evening. Even missed a guild event we only have max once a week, really saddens me. I don’t know what to do about it or when I’m gonna be able to play again.

Same, I crashed 2 times because of it last week. Third time I quickly logged out and re-logged in, so I still got the dragon chest.

But the sound, man. It’s the nastiest sound mankind has ever created. The mind numbing screech just hurts my soul, it’s like stabbing my heart with a rusty fork.

I think this is the right topic for this.

Yesterday I disconnected suddenly when I was in-game and when I tried to log back in, I got to the character screen, but when I picked my character and it started loading the map, I got stuck seeing the map art. I then manually closed the program, but after that it either stays forever in the map art loading screen, or it says something about server not responding. I was able to log in this morning, but now I’m stuck in the loading screens again.

We have a guild event in one hour and I can’t get into the game.

Okay, let me go into the details on what you did wrong:

You made an Elementalist.

Don’t you guys wish you had made a Mesmer? Now that’s a real cloth profession, they fool their enemies with clones of themselves and hit hard. Super cool, right? I wish I had made a Mesmer!

Yes, I don’t have the will-power to start another character.

Oh the irony, actually the first character I created was a Guardian, but I deleted it on lvl 1 because it looked so small and squishy. And then I created an Elementalist for some reason instead. HAHAHHAHAA!!!!!

I’ll just wait patiently for them to fix the bugs and balance issues.

waits

Most of the time while I’m playing all I hear is a warning siren in my left ear. That’s why I have the audio turned off and my own music playing.

I know they’re supposed to be challenging, but when there is another route that you never fail to do, who wants to give it a try and maybe waste 2 hours to win the other route? We could’ve done Magg route at least 6 times during that.

@Nethelli

Did you kill any crystals or just ignored them?

Seriously, is this some kind of cruel joke? You make the dungeons in a way, that you only get a huge amount of tokens at the end of every route and then you make the bosses impossible.

Do you even realize why people repeat Magg route time after time? It doesn’t take MAD SKILLZ (l2p), certain class combinations, certain traits or other silly things. You can do it with anyone, the events inside aren’t class specific, anyone can carry bombs and use a fire extinguisher. That’s how it’s supposed to be. The events are strategic outside the classes.

Ok the boss, first time we went full WTF-PWN and got demolished. Then we tried again, we sneaked around the boss and killed all the crystals before starting. We got his health to about 30% just by nuking him. After that the health stopped moving. The crystals activated or something and we couldn’t out-dps the regen.

We read all the guides we could find and we tried having 2 guys kill the crystals, while others attack the boss. We tried having everyone just attack the boss and not pay attention to the crystals. We tried poisoning him and putting other condition damage on him. His health refused to move.

We got his health to 30% for that one time, did he get bugged or something or why couldn’t we achieve this anymore?

After 2 hours of trying, everyone left. I guess we’ll just keep going Magg route like before.

The only thing I pray every night is that Ride the Lightning gets fixed. Please Anet, I’m not asking much, I don’t even need anything else! It’s the most essential spell and yet it’s also the spell that gets me killed when it stuns me for 2-4 seconds. It’s also supposed to be homing, the tooltip doesn’t say “predict the movement of your foe and stun yourself on that location if the foe actually changes direction”.

I found a bot today and gave him the fireworks, which he took happily. But then he just stopped doing anything. He didn’t shoot fireworks and the mobs couldn’t hurt him at all.

At least it stopped him from farming.

I have my attunements in F1-F4.

Weapon skills in 1-5

Then I have the Heal, Utitilies and Elite all in my mouse.

Yeah, if a Thief can take 3/4 of Warrior’s health in mere seconds, imagine what it does to an Elementalist. Just imagine. Even if you manage to dodge the initial bursts, that doesn’t mean you’ve won, far from that.

A Warrior managed to defeat a Thief, what an achievement!

Every time I try to kill a downed Thief, I get a bad reminder of how much Ele actually sucks.

It’s nigh impossible to kill Thieves in WvW, first they teleport away, then they cloak. It takes ten times longer to finish them, than to get them into downed state. How is this not broken? Did anet seriously not compare the downed states of the classes?

I have an idea to replace the downed ability 2:

Seppuku
-Since Elementalist is already so overpowered in downed state, Elementalists often rush to kill themselves so they can enter the OP downed state. Once they’re down, they could use the new second spell “Seppuku” to plant the flag on themselves instead of letting the enemy do it. This would spare enemies some valuable seconds, especially pro Thieves.

I’m afraid to complete my world after so many people have said this.

Hello,

I was playing in Eternal Battlegrounds yesterday, when suddenly all Guild Wars 2 sounds got muted and instead I started to hear some sort of “warning siren” in my left headphone.

Now it happened again today. I was in Eternal Battlegrounds again.

If I try to exit Guild Wars 2 during this warning sound, it freezes when I click “Exit to Desktop” and the sound changes to really rapid beeping. Then I have to ctrl + alt + del and close the program manually.

Any ideas what might be causing this? So far it hasn’t happened anywhere else than Eternal Battlegrounds.

And you can’t see the top of a Staff, it gets cut-off due to the height of the preview window… And the top usually has a highlight like a gem or fireball on it…

I have very mixed feelings about Orr.

The first thing you notice when you go there, is that there are no heart quests. When you realize this, it begins: the great run for POIs and SPs. You don’t pay attention to anything else.

On your way to Cursed Shore, you notice these blue tower icons on the map, but you don’t pay much attention to them. Until you’ve gotten every POI and SP. Then you realize you get chests from them “OMG!”

The enemies have been made specifically against this mindset: to prevent you from just running from place to another. Every, I mean EVERY enemy has some sort of immobilize, pull, stun, knockdown etc. ability. And that’s what makes people feel so frustrated about Orr.

When I had 3 Risen Putrifiers boomeranging me between them for like 15 seconds, I laughed so hard. It was so ridiculous.

When traveling Orr, I just switch my spells to as defensive as possible. Armor of Earth, Arcane Shield and Mist Form all get frequent use. They prevent these ridiculous boomeranging sessions.

And I think the Risen could’ve used some better voice acting. “Dead, good” sweet mother of mercy, who came up with these? The abominations are the only things that sound a little scary, instead of ridiculous.

The “Flame Lgion” dungeon set seems to have a problem with all the one handed weapons. They all go through the side-panels.

And “Molten Scepter of Smothering” doesn’t animate in-game, even though it has an animation in the hero screen. Don’t know if it’s the same thing with all CoF exotic weapons.

I wish you’d be able to change the color of the weapons. Why are all Arah weapons BRIGHT TEAL, I like to dye my armor set black & red…

I think you can’t traverse any cliff-level differences with the current spell. You’re absolutely right, I wouldn’t change that at all. I just want to make the spell faster to use in combat.

Hello, I just wanted to give a suggestion to the spell Lightning Flash to make it a little easier to use.

As of now, you have to either hit the cast button, select an area where you want to teleport and click, or if you are using quick-cast, you move your cursor where you want to teleport and hit the cast button.

But the problem is the range, it’s pretty short and you probably want to get the most out of it and teleport as far as possible. I have the spell on quick-cast and I always slowly drag my mouse from afar, closer to me, so the spell activates when the cursor gets in about maximum range.

But if you’re facing downhill, you can’t even click there. So how about changing the spell a little: make it teleport as far as it can in the given direction IF the mouse cursor is out of range.

This doesn’t change the spell itself in anyway, it still has the same range, but it makes the spell a little easier to use.

Vapor Form has a 20 second cooldown, I’m not sure if it takes that long before you can cast it once you are downed, but it’s not far from that. You can’t cast it immediately.

So Elementalist can’t do anything to interrupt your stomp if you do it within 20 seconds of him being downed. Now that you know it, you can do something like /dance next to him for 10 seconds and then proceed to plant the flag.

Engineer will be more enjoyable and better in competitive play.

Yup, sometimes it feels like other classes are unkillable when downed. Like Thieves, I actually have to just keep on attacking them instead of planting the flag, because they interrupt me so many times and then teleport away. It takes a longer time to kill them in downed state than when they’re up.

My Elementalist on the other hand, he’s a kitten. He doesn’t even try to fight back once he’s down. Even my Ele knows he should just give up and roll a Thief.

Just wanted to say there’s nothing there. The icon show’s on the map, but you can’t see it when you go there.

Someone told me the enemies you’re supposed to fight appear once and when they’re killed they don’t come back until next reset.

Dunno if it works on other servers, but not in Aurora Glade.

So we are forced to spec earth & water, we aren’t allowed to choose?

Number two, number two, number two and he’s down. Like a boss!

You should’ve used magical dragon spell to foresee his attacks and act accordingly, you’re such a bad player.

First it was World of Roguecraft…

…and now it’s Thief Wars 2!!!!!!

I see some butthurt Thieves in this thread. :P

I hope they’re gonna fix “Ride the Lightning” soon, using that spell is a ridiculous gamble, where most of the time it’s like using a stun on yourself. I can’t trust the spell, I can’t use it effectively. It ruins all my combos that I need for my elementalist to even stand a chance against anything other than another elementalist.

Here’s my Flame Legion set:
