Guild Wars 2

If you shake your head and wave your finger, you already have it.

I printed out the maps and crossed them off as I did them.

I expect you have forgotten which ones you have done and which ones you haven’t.

Better “pets” or the pets gone completely.

New content being added by ArenaNet has shown that the pet is completely and utterly useless and worthless.

I can’t see that changing in the future, I can’t see the pets getting any better.

They are just rubbish.

Overflows work in such a way to ensure I’m always in overflow on my home server.

Mystic.5934:

how often you see this error is probably proportional to how fast your computer is and/or your internet. for me, I see it almost more often than items I sell.
as an anti-bot system, it’s less than worthless. the reason is that it inhibits people but bots deal with it just fine, allowing bots to greatly outpace people.
as alternatives, I’ve suggested a few in the past: can’t post more than 1 thing every 2 seconds. can’t post more than 500 things per day. ban the bots and no limits.

Nobody from ArenaNet has said it’s an anti bot measure.

Why would they put in an anti bot measure that looks like shoddy programming and/or low end servers and connections.

Doesn’t do ArenaNet any favours does it.

Just this second happened to me………………

Just after completing boss week.

tolunart.2095:

It’s not a bug. If you list too many items too fast you’ll get an error. This is not going to change. The program can/will only process so many items in a short time.

When you get the error, just wait thirty seconds and try again. If you pause a moment between items you can usually avoid it altogether.

I don’t want to wait, and anyway I tried that and it doesn’t work.

The TP is hard work as it is, selling one item at a time, it’s slow.

Brilliant post by the OP here, take note ArenaNet (Of course you won’t).

Hello anybody there, is everybody getting this problem or just an elite few…………………

Wait……………… I’m on Desolation, can’t get out of overflow………..

ShiningSquirrel.3751:

what are these “precursors” you speak of?
I have heard tales spoken of these “precursors”, but since the long ago beta times, have seen no proof of their existence other then vague rumors and whispers spoken on the wind.

That’s about it for me as well.

Reading the other posts, they actually drop ?

Never seen one, never expect to get one.

I think ArenaNet should read the OP’s post very carefully, it’s one of the best posts I’ve seen here.

Very good points there OP.

Change it so I’m not ALWAYS in overflow !

I don’t mind challenging, I don’t mind hard………………

I don’t like stupid, which this seems to be at the moment.

Lucky.9421:

Solid Gold.9310:

It’s boring waiting, and it doesn’t matter how fast I get there I’m dumped in poxy overflow.

Yeah I didn’t suggest that as a serious solution for everyone.

But if you reeaaaallly wanted to.

A LOT of people do just stay in Sparkfly…………….

Lucky.9421:

I guess you can stay on the map between spawns. :P

It’s boring waiting, and it doesn’t matter how fast I get there I’m dumped in poxy overflow.

bookman.9260:

yeah you guys don’t know what casual means. Or we have extremely opposite definitions of casual play. If you log in each day to do the daily, you are already not on my casual list. Hell more than 100 hours is not at all casual. People have weird definitions of casual.

I class myself as “casual” because I’m not a hardcore player, I’m not into the “build” culture or mechanics of the game.

I don’t take it too seriously, and just try to enjoy the game, and do the stuff I like doing.

However I don’t like being shut out of content by ArenaNet, just because I have to have an ascended this or that, or it’s just for “so called” elite players.

With the higher content being released by ArenaNet, I wouldn’t advice you to be a Ranger.

The damage is lacklustre, the pet is worse than useless, the bows are “meh”.

ArenaNets take on the Ranger (How they see it in their dreams)………

“Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to any situation.”

But most of that is simply fiction.

(And the more I read that the more I laughed).

It’s to fill your slots up, so you have to buy more space.

I have a ton of unsellable stuff as well that I will never use and will just destroy eventually.

Morrigan.2809:

I have 4 hours more that you and I have also been playing since the betas.
I have nothing in my wallet though- I am always broke.
never had any dungeon tokens either.

I do like what you did with your Ranger.
It makes a nice change from all the Bling- I imagine you stand out quite a lot at high lvl events.
I like to keep my characters fairly simple too but you took it a whole other level

Like I said I’m bit of a saver, and I can’t see the point in wasting gold on armour or weapons that don’t have higher stats.

So I just got the cheapest stuff with the highest stats (Gosh some of it was real ugly, my greatsword had a double blade, what rubbish) and transmuted down to basic stuff.

I mean you only have to look at the “My little pony skinny and boney” short bow, what were ArenaNet thinking of, how embarrassing.

It was good being able to hide the mask and shoulders, and a bonus when they added the gloves.

Good luck with that………………………

Yes I was there, we all got disconnected in the last seconds……….

No chest.

No reward.

Gizmo.9178:

If that is casual then I must be doing something wrong :P

Oh and I have the same hours as you.

Ah but you have stuff lower down on your list……….

Anyway come on boys and gurls show your stuff………

I just didn’t like the chunky feel of any of the armours, I’m comfortable with how I look.

The look of weapons and armours don’t interest me, so if your next to me flashing a big flashing weapon, and spiky brash armour, I just think “So what, it’s no better than mine”.

Really ?

Just me, Ranger.

I would guess it’s because my gear and weapons are all transmuted down to low level gear.

I don’t think it’s been there since beta, I never used to get it, I tried selling slower and I still get it.

Why should we suffer because Anet can’t deal with the bots, if it is that then they need to get their act together.

Bismuth.3165:

lol, over 1k hour in this game and you didn’t touch a dungeon, those badges probably came from ap chests, and seeing how you have over 150 laurels, you’ve been playing this game for more than 6 months, a true farmer….

Haha, been playing since beta testing, just the one character.

I wouldn’t class myself as a farmer, but I’m not a big spender.

I do repeat things I like doing, Balthazar being one example.

I did do story line dungeons.

AP badges came from WvW.

+10 to the OP.

This needs to go, it’s the most annoying mechanic, lame and really frustrating.

ZenJii.7490:

I have to do stuff to get stuff. FML

I don’t mind doing “stuff”, I don’t like doing mindless grinding for “stuff”.

And a LOT of it looks like mindless grinding for very little “stuff”.

Now I never use to get this, but I’ve been getting it for a week or two…..

When I’m selling stuff I can sell about the first 10-12 items with no problem, then I get the “Error attempting to sell” problem and I have to close the TP.

I open up TP again and sell another 1-3 items and get the error again, and I keep getting the error from then on at every 1-3 items.

Every time I have to close the TP and start over, it’s REALLY annoying if I have a lot of stuff to sell.

Anybody else getting this ?

Well I did do the story line dungeons.

But in the earlier days Rangers were “not welcome” in dungeon parties.

Vayne.8563
“If you don’t do dungeon, you miss all those individual currencies.”

Just why does any game need all those “currencies”, I guess there are different rewards for all those currencies, but it just excludes some players from getting any of those rewards because they might “not like dungeons”.

Ok this is a pic of my stuff.

I guess I’m an average, casual player, I’m not into the deep mechanics of the game, and I’m not one that has to do everything.

But there’s a lot of stuff I haven’t even seen, or collected, or have any idea where it might be collected if I wanted to farm (Grind) for it.

So fractal relics I know where they come from, didn’t get any as I’m not a big fan of ArenaNets idea of dungeons, but from fractal relics down I have never seen or collected any of it, and have no idea where it might be.

Now having played the game through for 1,374 hours, I would have thought I would have maybe collected a bit of most items………………….

I only have one character by the way.

Is this more farming…………………………….. “Yay”.

Talyn.3295:

I would be happy with just an option to right click ignore them, so that they stop showing up on my map. Lord knows we have enough “Bank” commanders as it is, honestly this kitten tag was way to easy to get

Just this, commander tag means nothing.

It’s just a bought item, nearly everybody could afford to buy a commander tag now, and I see loads of them all over the place when they are not even needed.

Here’s a suggestion………………….

What about putting the updates for each profession in the relevant professions forum.

And the general updates in the general forum.

Reading through this lot is a minefield.

As I have said before, everybody has a different idea of how it should be done, all ideas are difficult to implement with a random group of players of various professions with their own idea for a successful run.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Balthazar-Temple-Pact-morale/first#post2842388

Funny because I keep them, but haven’t had a key drop for months, lots of chests NO keys at all.
Then I bought a few gems with cash, and hey presto a key dropped within 15 minutes.

What a co-incidence…………………….

knbBlackTemplar.3059
“It’s drop insanely fast. Even if big zerg destroy risens in seconds – morale drop and event fail”

Sometimes moral goes from full to empty in 1/2 a second for no apparent reason.

Hannelore.8153
“Try not to stand near the NPCs, once they die the morale is gone forever, even if you rezz them. The mobs will mostly come for players not the NPCs so staying away from them except when you are keeping them healed is how you win it.”

Yup try not to stand near the pact when they leave Rally Waypoint, kite around the outside to draw mobs away from the pact.
Once the pact leave Rally, you can’t res them, and healing seems to have no effect.

Geekfox.4267
“Veteran Risen Subjugators are to blame. They spam Wells that lasts 30-seconds. This is the bug that’s stopping the escort to Temple of Balthazar.”

Yes try to get the Subjugators as soon as possible, they do a lot of damage, trash mobs can be dealt with afterwards.

mercury ranique.2170
“This is not a bug but as intended. The event is very hard and requires more coordination to be successful then other events. Knowing the spawns and specially the ones that insta-wipe the pact-people is important. Staying in front of the pact is important. You only need a few people ad the pact to prevent them from any lone risen that got through. There is one exception where a big mob spawns behind them and in front of them (just when you start on the climb to the temple). So be prepared for that as well.
The last thing is to not stay with foes when the pact is already moving. The last two corners are places where people often linger around killing vets that spawned, while the mob already passed on.”

This could be somewhat buggy, and they may have made it a lot harder than they intended to when Anet messed with it, there’s no hard and fast rules for success and sometimes there’s no reason for failing, except the message “Event Failed” because the moral disappeared.
Sometimes the pact will move off at different times, sometimes they retrace their steps, sometimes the mobs behind spawn later and catch the pact up, there are a lot of variables that can cause a failure.
Co-ordination is difficult with a large group of random people.

Having 2 pacts together doesn’t seem to increase the chances of success.

All the comments refer to the pact escort from Rally to the Temple, all the other escorts are easy to complete.

Change your settings to AOE loot, then your “F” key will cover a much larger area, I just run through and keep pressing “F”.

FOW/UW, ahhh I remember them, proper “content”.

Going by the comment left by a moderator, I reckon they were 90% true.

Jumping puzzles, instant death.

“What if”………….. We could choose not to have a pet thing.

It’s mainly dead, broken and twisted, hobbling along dragging a leg or two behind it, I’m sick of seeing the suffering and the misery my pet is forced to endure.

With the new content being added, tougher harder content that’s going to be ongoing, the pet is going to be dead a whole lot more.

(I’m a big softie for animals, stop the suffering Anet).

“beserker ranger and where it needs to be”……………………….

Weak and useless…………… that’s how I feel.

Burnfall.9573:

I’m noit impressed, not by a long shot.

Where’s our pet, spirits improvements?

Where’s our damage mprovements?

-Another Dissapointment from Arena.net-.

All Garbage improvements, well except for Healing Spring at the least.

To Arena.net, keep us dead where we are, since you Intentionally like us this way.

Ranger class= Total Failure; Wasted and Worthless Design.

Ranger pet mechanics= Garbage mechanics.

Yes this totally this.

Levetty.1279:

I’d be amazed if the patch doesn’t make our weapons killable too.

Don’t be daft, they are just making the bow out of 2 matchsticks and a rubber band……………

It just makes me sad to come here.

All the events, and living story, the pet is totally useless, a total waste of space, in fact probably useless in any of the stuff ArenaNet are going to be adding in the future.

(I expect somebody will come along soon and say how wonderful their pet is, and how I should micro-manage it).

They are a joke for me, because l know l’ll never have one.

We’re having the same problems, although if we get past the slope, then we normally get up the steps ok.

It’s more likely to fail just at the start, as soon as the second wave of mobs come in.

The moral seems to just vanish, it doesn’t seem to matter how many people there are, 2 pacts make no difference, it’s just not consistent.

It’s frustrating for people that are shouting do it this way or that way, I don’t think there’s an answer for it.

It’s rubbish since they messed it about.

Same here, it’s driving me crazy…….
