Have you tried going to a major city? I remember reading somewhere that you get it when you visit a city.

Have you gone outside of the Home Instance though? To the city itself?

I always thought Utopia sounded like an April Fool’s joke, and whaddaya know, the release date was supposed to be in APRIL.

Was this the canceled project that had the new Commando Mode?

no, read@ https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_Utopia

I knew that commando was a joke that’s why I threw it in there.

I feel like I’m missing something here. Has Anet said they’re not going to do more tournaments or something? I thought they had one every few months.

ESL closed the GW2 Tournaments that they were running.

Targeting In some of pve content and pvp

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sephas.8793

Sephas.8793

All of the above. If I’m just PvE roaming/exploring most of the time it’s auto target. If I’m in a small group of mobs, I like to tab when one target is almost dead, or I need to switch targets. In a zerg, it’s probably going to be some combination of all of them since one method really isn’t going to cut it.

For all the folks asking to extend SAB, think about this; MO said “closer” to the three month mark. Right? Well the 21st is when SAB ends. To me, that is closer to three months than two…

They may just hold off until the end of SAB.

Sephas.8793

There definitely isn’t an official one. I’m not aware of any unofficial tools, but then I don’t make videos.

It might be worth talking to other people who make GW2 videos, or the people who took the screenshots for the Wiki’s armour galleries (since they were somehow able to remove the background from the images) to find out how they do it.

SAB when

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sephas.8793

Sephas.8793

Have you seen the ‘concern’ threads when patches are released near reset? I don’t think that is a solution some would appreciate.

Not to mention requiring overtime for the Devs to take care of any issues that crop up. Or would you rather the issues wait a day?

I understand but the point was that if you start the event 5 hours (let’s say) before reset, that only allows 5 hours for people to complete a day’s worth of events. If you do it at reset, that gives everyone the maximum time to do the events.

I’m not saying that I want them to do it, but this was a point to make.

SAB when

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sephas.8793

Sephas.8793

Which really, really, really kittening sucks for us 2nd-shift workers on the east coast. 2 hours isn’t enough to get the SAB dailies done, which reset while I’m at work.

Exactly how could ANet arrange the schedule to fit everyone in NA, EU, OCE, and Asia? The SAB is going to open at time X, which will be x hrs before dailies; it’s inevitable that someone will be unavailable.

Accordingly, it nearly always makes sense that a company will set release schedules to be convenient to most of its employees — that makes it easier that all hands can be available in case of emergency, that there’s plenty of expertise around to address questions & issues, and that folks aren’t in a perpetual state of burn out.

Easy, start and end it at reset.

I agree that it makes sense to start the events while they’re at work though. But the answer to the first question is easy, start everything at reset.

Glider altitude indicator desperately needed

Sephas.8793

Why don’t you just re-deploy the glider while you are falling if you think that you’re falling a distance that will damage you? Even just a “tap-tap” To deploy and stow the glider while you are falling will slow your descent enough to prevent you from taking too much damage most of the time…

What about changing the UI scaling? Would that make things a bit smaller so more icons would fit on the display?

Again, it has been said, but a 16:9 aspect ratio screen would help a lot too.

Thanks for the clarification.

Sephas.8793

The only thing you will be locked out of is season 1, that is no longer available to anybody, whether they played it when it was live or not. Otherwise, each episode of the seasons is automatically unlocked on an account as long as you log in while that episode is the current one. You don’t have to play the episode to unlock it, just log in while it is current. If you miss the free unlock you can purchase them individually in the gem store.

I believe that you can’t unlock them in the gem store per se, but in the Story Journal.

Which HoT adventures should be recalibrated

The forums DO work – sometimes in the strangest ways.

I just had a player whisper me to adjust my “field of view” to the minimum – making it first person as much as possible and MAGNIFYING the targets by a substantial amount.

It is making a big difference on the adventure. Whether it is enough, time will tell….

Nice. You can get up there with normal gliding and jumping though. There’s an invisible wall down at the other end that prevents you from going down near the waterfall.

Haha, yes I’ve heard there are ways. But it’s rather cool that high ping and an updraft can get you to places you shouldn’t be able to.

Totally.

Vigilant Jewelry Recipe Book

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Sephas.8793

Sephas.8793

So today I went to wiki to find a Amulet with Vigilant stats but can not find the recipe for one. I looked at https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Orichalcum_Amulet and I wanted to make a Flax Blossom Orichalcum Amulet with
Vigilant +102 Power, +102 Toughness, +56 Concentration, +56 Expertise

but the the wiki redirects to Charged Ambrite Orichalcum Amulet https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Recipe:_Charged_Ambrite_Orichalcum_Amulet_ which according to wiki has the stats of
Sinister +120 Condition Damage, +85 Power, +85 Precision

So is there or not a Vigilant Amulet Recipe?

Did you read this thread?

Achievement point chests

Sephas.8793

congrats on hitting the 24.5k ap mark takes a lot of work . but i got to say i do find it a bit more than off and odd that you only got one copper for reaching that mark . is there by chance noting with information when you roll your mouse of the chests themselves to give you this information ?? i just hit the 2.50 mark long way to go but so far i noticed every time i looked at the chests they was able to give me the next few chest info on rewards. does that stop at some point ? and if so can you recall where that stops at ???

It tells you what you get, but it doesn’t tell you what is in the chest that you have to open manually in your inventory. Just like when you kill a champion you get some loot and a chest. They opened the chest and those items were inside. I’m sure they’re from some set RNG table, and the 1 copper is a bit of a slap in the face.

Docket for Map Portal Scrolls

don’t forget if you were lucky (or unlucky) enough to get the Noran’s safe house letter that is a second portal scroll to Lake Doric.

Personally I have no problem with having the scrolls in my inventory and using them as they are right now. If we get a lot more though, they may become unwieldy.

Should ANet change the Floppy Fish?

Sephas.8793

It just struck me that Enjoying others suffering is one of the simpliest and most basic form of humour is a bad argument for keeping a mini pet that’s imitating the actions of an animal that’s dying.

Except that it’s not, “imitating the actions of an animal that’s dying”, this is simply how you choose to view it. As stated before, the description states that it’s a magic fish and is alive… not, “dying”.

Love the game, but have some suggestions.

Should ANet change the Floppy Fish?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Sephas.8793

After all, watching dogs kill each other in dog fights is outlawed, no matter how much pleasure people get from watching them suffer.

This is a bit over the top, and not at all what Slippy was talking about. I believe that they were referring to comedy, not bloodsport. Seeing an anvil dropped on the coyote in the Loony-Toons is more along the lines that I think they were going. That is suffering, but again, a representation of such. It does not depict a real animal being killed.

Just tag the mobs they are attacking and let them do all the heavy lifting!

This, GW2 is not like other MMOs. If you hit the mob a couple times you will still get credit for it and get xp and loot.

Also – We’re about halfway through (or so) Living Story 3, which also requires Heart of Thorns. You’ll have to buy the first three episodes with gems. I don’t know if the maps (Bloodstone Fen, Ember Bay, Bitterfrost Frontier) are accessible without the episodes.

The maps are not accessible without unlocking the story steps. You have to have unlocked the episodes in order to get into the maps.

dc + skills delay + skills lag

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sephas.8793

Sephas.8793

I am playing a lot of games online.

So only gw2 have problem with my connection.

???????????

Are the other games you play located in the same data center and use the exact same route to get to the servers? If not, just because you have issues with GW2 doesn’t mean that there is a problem with GW2.

There could be a segment of the route that your traffic hits and slows down. This is what the friendly SlippyCheese was trying to get across to you. There is not an overarching issue with lag and skill lag for everyone. If there was, you would see many more topics on the forums about this issue. Please try and see if there is an issue with your ISP routing your GW2 traffic to an internet segment that is causing your lag.

Please don’t just assume that there is a problem on ANet’s end when you have not yet ruled out other issues.

Thank you.

Update on Hearts and Minds

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Sephas.8793

Pfffft… thats easy to top Since release there is a bug in the game where characters suddenly stop moving. They pretty much freeze mid-movement and you can’t move in any direction until you let go of all keys. Oldest reports on the forums on that bug are from 2012 and its pretty annoying and happens “kinda often”.

This happens everyday for me. It drives me crazy.

Well, after spending over 2 1/2 hours of hell in this event and getting nowhere, especially the last room, I have to wonder what is the purpose of events like this.
Games are supposed to be fun, and thats the last word I would describe this event.
No more of this garbage for me.

Honestly, I’ma filthy casual who plays axe/axe Berserker/Warrior, and I died a couple times in the secret chamber, but I beat it the first time around, back before the nerf…

I just don’t see why everyone is so crazy about this encounter. I can understand if there are bugs that block progression, but the hate here is a bit much.

I agree being able to classify green sigils and whatnot as “junk” for vendors would be a simple and appropriate solution.

Honestly, I have no problem selling these off quickly at a merchant. I deposit all the mats, sell the worthy items on the TP, sell the junk to the merchant, and the green sigils are all that’s left. Just start double clicking on them in the sell window, and they whiz by into the Mists. Too easy.
