We have a counter of sorts for stealth, but where are the counters for illusions? Short of laying down AOE, once that has gone your totally open to an illusion spammer.
Just did the Clock Tower for daily (first time today) the interactive chest was there on the floor, but all I got was 20 Epymreal Fragments fro it. The Mad King consumable chest was not awarded ‘sniff’.
Lunatic Inquisition Regular counts only for win. Not for just participation =\
If that is the case, (and strongly looks that way) then it is very badly worded. Quote:- ‘Lunatic Inquisition Regular’, and to re-enforce that point the wording on the pop up box is ‘Participate in 8 rounds’. At no point is the requirement to win mentioned.
Same, Piken Square, was sent to SPvP. Tried for Keg Brawl to try and side step this problem—-but it has been disabled>>!
PS, found that the Mad King activities seem to be working for daily achievement.

Sure why not, make it harder. Whilst your at it make everything super hard so only 10% of the playing population, (which if memory serves was the figure stated by the devs last year estimated to complete the clock tower), and then, when theres no-one left to play, and buy the game, because average Jo’s have been squeezed out of enjoying it, we can wonder where it all went wrong. Just remember the Spartans, they were elitist in every way, and got wiped out by a bunch of merchant part timers! So much for elitism.
(and btw—iv done every JP, and nothing comes close with the exception of Southsun!)

PS, whist your at it, why not move Tequatl to Queensdale!>>

Ok, you have your say—youv knocked me on three different topics, if you want to troll go elsewhere! This is a suggestions page, not the knock OP because you havn’t got a decent idea page!
Ok, so you have done your daily/ monthly/ activity (whoooeee) and you pull up your inventory to get to your drips/drops or Karma. You press it AND—-its used, but unless your fast, or skew the inventory screen to the extreme side, you wont have any idea how much you just got because—the inventory screen is blocking the view. Would it be possible to have the graphic of the Karma gain brought to the front as an overlay, so when you click on the Karma, you see what you had, right in front of you. Same goes for WxP containers.
Ok, Ill be the first to admit this is a small thing, but why cant we have the new items we have found, that scroll down the side of the screen clickable. By that I mean when we click on it, it removes it from sight. Like I said , its not a biggy, but seems a little bit futile waiting for the globby goop and horse shoe drops to scroll away to see what was inside that shiney chest that dropped ^-^.
Would be nice to have the ability to remove, unwanted side quests littering the side of the screen. On some, occasions the entire right side of the screen is full of quests I don’t want nor will be doing and blocks the sight of quests I do want to do. Point in question, if you want to be notified of an important event like the Shatterer, the message is shunted so you have to keep pressing the quest button to see its status, and if your half way down the map, youwil have no idea is going on , unless someone shouts it out.
Does not take a rocket scientist to realize that PvP is in a mess at the moment. What I mean by that is, overbearing classes are dominating PvP. I am not going to point the finger at what classes, as we know which ones those are, IE which ones do practically EVERY one run as flavor of the month? Also before anyone jumps on me, I run EVERY class, so have no axe to grind.
As it stands, if you are trebbing a tower, you ONLY get WxP for the wall take down, but nothing for the taking of the tower itself, unless you happen to kill a guard in the process. Surly it would be the easiest thing in the world to ensure Trebbers/ catas/rams* are guaranteed WxP for a successful take down of a tower.
*(I mention catas/ rams, in case they get killed losing the chance of the tower)
Just a heads up on Windows 7—new update rolled out today. For some unfathomable reason it stopped me accessing Guild Wars 2, or the Internet. However it will allow you to ping websites and the network icon wont show any problems. Just Shut down your PC as normal, and let it do its funky business, and your good to go again ^-^. Never experienced this before, so may be my own personal pet bug (awww aint that cute>>), or more global.
So, there you are, Christmas Day, full of anticipation for the extra special gift you have been dropping hints on for the past six months. All the family is there, opening pressies, with rapping paper festooning the floor in abundance. Then you open dotty Aunt Agatha’s present. Its the rite shape, weight , dimensions, everything. Has she remembered to get you that extra special ‘thing’ you wanted. You rip the paper off in wild abandon, sure in the knowledge, ‘this is it’ —AND--its the wrong one. You cant ask for the receipt, as it would break her heart, so your stuck with it.
And that folks is what I feel about ascended drops as it currently stands. Even in the unlikely chance I get one, it probably wont be the one I want. Plus I cant sell it, merch it, or even salvage it for ectos etc. Ironically, from a financial perspective, I would have been better off with a rare drop over level 68 for the ectos. Sure I could invest a huge amount in crafting to get an ascended—and probably will, but that is not the point. Am I the only one who can see the elephant in the room at the moment? Rares—sellable/ salvageable—Exotics sellable/ salvageable—- ascended not sellable/ salvageable—Legendary sellable (not going to say salvageable—who would lol) So why not bring ascended into line with the rest?

Just did a Scarlet event and noticed my XP and Karma had dropped significantly (11 Karma per event). This not unusual so did not mind. Went to a different map to ‘clean’ myself so I could do some other, different events as there would be no point doing anything on the map with Scarlet had just been. Finished an event on a Blazeridge Stepps (not the one Scarlet was on)—-and noticed it was 11 Karma again. OK patience wearing a little thin at this, swapped to another different map AGAIN. Finished an event guess what—-11 Karma!
I really hope this is an almighty bug, or we will have to wait hours , just to get the Karma back on track>>.
Yes, yet another survey, but after doing the Scarlet event for the (put exaggerated number in here) time with out actually killing her and not successfully finishing the event, I was wondering—-how many have actually finished the event successfully by killing her since last update.
So just put in, if you have/ have not, and if it was an overflow, or native/ guest server.
I’ll start the ball rolling—not once since it was updated, and that’s doing Scarlet at least once a day, Server Piken Square, mostly overflows.
(and please, no finger pointing as to whom you think is to blame for any failures ^-^)
Valor Singus, they should employ you. Your critique has condensed what are the current problems with Teqqy at the moment to my mind. Having said that, just left a medium and high level server to check on its status as it was due——and the beaches were empty. Not a single person there. R.I.P. Teqqy event.>>
Used this for the first time earlier for an AC run, and worked well, however, using it for hectic places like TA is an uphill struggle. How others use it is beyond me, as I have just spent the last hour trying to get a party. The fields showing brand new parties are completely absent and are only showing when they are one party member from full 90% of the time, and the other 10% they show that you can join, but clicking on the join button has no effect, I suspect that they have filled in the mean time, and its not updating.
Noticed on several occasions I will be using chat and I will DC. The messages come through OK, whilst my skills freeze up, and then to login screen, whether this is a repeated coincidence I have no idea.

Yesterday, the Daily on ‘Here be dragons’, was any Dragon event, but in the ‘small print’ on the daily box was recommended to do Tequatl. Today it is specific to Tequatl only. Mistake or deliberate move to get us to do Tequatl?
(edited by Shadey Dancer.2907)
Yup, that’s rite. After waiting an hour for Tequatl, I ported to a closer way point—-and was moved to the overflow. No crash, no re-log, just—-moved. Never happened before, but boy, what an irritation>>
Unless it was done in such a way that it was not intrusive: ie in your face pop up, then an unequivocal no.
If it was done, as the OP say’s on a survey button, or on an unobtrusive panel some place, then sure. But pity the poor sucker who has to go through that raw data afterwards ^-^.

Going totally OT, but please don’t start a topic that could be explored in great detail with “Wat” when you mean What is, or What’s. (I came to this thread because I figured it would be a cool discussion, but “Wat” almost turned me away).

I happen to know the OP, and English is not his native language, and is to be far to civil to come back and reproach an uncivilized remark, that has zero to do with the current issue of this post!

As it stands, the outnumbered buff may as well be called, the ‘You have zero chance of winning, so please leave the server now’, buff.
It gives 20% magic find—33% experience—10% world experience—and no armor damage on death.
All very well and good, but you have to have a chance of actually winning something to make use of the buff in the first place, and as the buff only comes into effect roughly when the enemy is outnumbering you three to one, the buff is practically redundant, as you will be dead pretty quick in any pitched battle (roamers aside).
Personally, I would much rather have an Outnumbered buff that would actually even the score in fight, or would actually be useful—what you guys and gals say?
Basically, they have changed the game mechanics of the keg brawl. Sooo here is the question.
Do you like the way the new game mechanics work or not, and please state why.
Personally, I liked the way it was before, it feels clunky now.
Basically, just put in your server name and if you did or did not do the daily successfully, and state why you think you succeeded or not.
Personally, I hate achievements that are out of my control, and more down to blind luck than anything else.
Anyway—Piken Square—two overflows (fail to kill scarlet) one native server failed.
(By the way, before any hot heads come steaming on here, this is NOT a criticism of farming, but by filling this out, you give the devs an indication whether it is a good thing, or not to have achievements based this way ^-^)
(Edit—4th time success— overflow—reason (supposition on my part)—only one commander on map.
(edited by Shadey Dancer.2907)
+1 re-booting did not fix this for me (EU Piken).
Done this so many times, its driving me insane. Completed it successfully, that is, denied the dog its meat on three separate occasions, and was NOT awarded the achievement. Added to the fact that apparently NOTHING has been done to stop the mind numbing throwing of meat at the dogs feet—repeatedly! Point in question, just came off, and Strugar, threw the meat EVERY time at the dogs feet. And please, for all that is holy, label them correctly. There is no label on Strugar, saying he will pull you back every time, even though it becomes obvious. eeeesh>>.
Going now to have Chomper therapy. It will be long and hard, but the doctors tell me I will recover in several years.
Achievement is most definitely bugged. The first time I was sure chomper didn’t get any meat, the second time I was POSITIVE he didn’t get any.
Yet the achievement did not pop either time.
Ditto,— Killed Chomper, denied ALL meat on three occasions—zero credit—result—an amazing amount of irrational, hostile feelings at being denied the achievement.
Was not a mistake on my part putting it here, as this is the closest anyone can put discussions on Daily Activity’s, but thank you for pointing out the elephant in the room.
Guanglai Kangyi, your rite! ^-^
Yes, the cliff at the end is to what I am referring to. And yes I do know they have been using it since the beginning, but as there has been no official response since sanctum sprint began, I want to know where I would stand doing it. Its no good after the fact having an account suspended for breach of the EULA for using an exploit, and just because others use it on a regular basis is no defense, hence, the question.
I am not criticizing its use, if it is a legitimate path great, but it would be nice to know where we stand, rather than be left in a limbo where no-one knows where we are.
I am seeing an increasing use of the ‘short cut’ at the end., of Sanctum Sprint, and cant help wondering is it legit or an exploit.
In my case, earlier, I was first past the finish line, first to the chest, but because someone used the ‘short cut’ they were placed first, even though, they arrived at the chest several seconds after me.
So if a dev happens to read this, I would love a definitive response. If it is legit, I will be using it from now on!
Yep, stuck inside a way-point, in mid air and screaming as if in mid fall. Only been happening since Clockwork patch.
Saw this yesterday, but did not realize what I was looking at. Port to a way-point, in this case it was clockwork event, and find yourself suspended in the air, unable to move, and screaming as if falling. The only way to ‘fix’ it is by re-porting to the same way-point, as jumping/evading will have zero affect.
This should really be put into the ranger discussion group rather than game bugs ^^.
Although I agree with you, there is a parallel with elementalist, where the 50% reduction in falling damage is traited at master, and every other class it is traited at adept.
Yesterday I was doing quite a lot of the events to complete the accomplishment and was not paying attention to the DR on XP and Karma. Log on today, did some quests arround the place and WvW, no problem. Went on to my character that was doing the clockwork events yesterday, and immediately noticed the radical drop in karma, ie 7 karma per gold event.
Here is a tip, if you want to clean somewhat your DR, go do events on another map, obviously after the clockwork has ended. It did not clean it completely for me after doing four events in Blazerridge Steps for daily, but it did go up, ie from 7 karma to 270 karma.
Even so, having DR last eighteen hours overnight is a bit of overkill in my opinion, when it is a requirement of the clockwork accomplishments to do them in the first place.
Iv been close, but no prize for me. Starting to lose the will to even do it, tho ill keep going on,—- re-equped, —-re everything, but when he keeps throwing at the mutts feet, it really feels like im being trolled. Oh well, back to the grind, sigh.
Unfortunatly you wont be able to tell if the chest is open or not, just by looking from outside. If viewed from outside, the chest on top will always look closed, until entering. You can even hear the chest opening on ascending the stair case.
As to which ones you have done, as has been suggested, keep a list, write/type down ALL the areas of Kryta (except Orr and Southsun) and tick them off as you do them, or just type/write down the ones you visit. Some of the ballon chests are bugged, but unless you are exceptionally unfortunate, there is enough leeway to complete this with quite a few bugged chests. (I had 3 bugged, and hardly touched Ascalon on completion.)
I am sure that my fellow rangers will look forward to the next update as Strugar and Chomper have demonstrated the new Ranger ability Scorpion wire.
Ok ok, a misleading title, but why has Strugar, a R A N G E R, got Scorpian wire in the first place O-O???? Or perhaps, it is a sign that in future, Thief’s will have pets>>.
If you have exactly the same set up on land as in water, the spirits do not survive the transition from land into water, and are killed, putting the spirit counter to its full countdown as if they had been killed in combat and/or killed from a different skill set up on bar from entering water (tested on stone and sun spirits in mists).
Put into context. I was just on pvp, we were winning and the game locked up. I sent a ping to www.bbc.com, and it came back clean. Next thing I was kicked from pvp with a warning to check my internet connection when clearly it was ok. To ban people for dc’s not of their doing would be a bit much!
This was reported months ago and still has not been addressed. Guardians Aegis is not only making it irritating for other players who have to go against them, but it is also for the guardian themselves when using the fishing pole. On using the fishing pole, aegis will block the crab, and take it out of play, denying it for everyone.
So not entirely sure if this is a bug or working as intended. Last gasp will cancel your self heal in favor of itself, resetting the heal as if you had been interrupted.
Its majorly bugged at the moment. Its supposed to grant stability, and ignore control effects, but currently only works 50% of the time. I have not seen any updates impacting this skill, but it was not like this several days ago. It is just not stopping fear, knockdowns or stun at the moment, like I said at least for at least 50 % of the time ( well put down before effects).
Its not my favorite map either. Just refuse to play it. Simples.
I was wondering why they are soul bound and not account bound. For instance, the Super Adventure Box baubles and continue coins were account bound, which was great, because then you did not have to spend excessive time building them up on one character, you could use any characters you had, and if you wanted to play a different character, just swap the baubles/ coins out. With the tickets being soul bound, it just feels very labour intensive to get tickets, especially as you have to start over if you want to try a different character on your account.
Is the short cut to the finish line an exploit or a legitimate tactic? Its the one just before the finish line, giving a faster finish time than would be normal taking the obvious route.
I really woudn’t worry about it too much. Like yourself I was concerned at the start. I had two tower balloon chests bug on me, the Queensdale chest being one. However, on finishing all the towers required for completion, I still had almost all of Ascalon untouched, so there is a huge amount of leeway on this one^^.
Well thats the way it feels we are being treated in fractals at the moment. You work all the way through the fractals, be a hero to your team mates, and at the jade maw at the very moment of victory you dc. When you come back, everyone has had the chest, BUT you must forfeit any chest you have worked for, as you come back dead at the beginning of the map, with no way of getting your reward. I can only conclude that the powers that be just do not care about people dcing, as there has been zero apparent attempt to rectify this ongoing debacle—- that is our problem—tough! Id like to be proved wrong—I would LIKE someone—-ANYONE in authority to come on and say something along the lines that they are working on a solution, at least that way we woudn’t feel as if we are banging our heads against a brick wall!
Not sure if this makes a difference (for devs) the easterly ballon tower in queensdale was bugged for me, (already opened even though it was the first time on visiting it) but someone was just ahead of me opening the chest, and I could hear him opening it, even though I was solo and not in a party.
