Guild Wars 2

Well they only have to treat them the same way as always, only allowing you to combine them with other pieces of town clothing. As if they were a 4th kind of armor. I don’t think it is so complicated (it is probably the way they treated them till now, I guess). So I doubt that’s the main problem

(Also there’s a lot of clipping with normal armor so what’s the matter with a bit more?)

If they work like the halo, and we can still have those pieces of clothing, I’d be happy enough. But my fear is they will be converted into the usual endless tonics: Quaggan, Halloween, Beast… which I don’t use nor plan to do.

That why I would prefer either to keep my clothes (please please please puppy eyes activated) or receive my gems (which I purchased with real money BTW) back and buy what I really want and I will use.

Also I don’t understand why outfits have to be “all or nothing”. Why can’t we separate them into different armor pieces, even if we are forced to use always that kind of pieces together, like Town Clothes forced us to do?

And what will happen with the old original town clothes? Are they going to disappear too?

Same here. I purchased a lot of the old town cloths in a hurry last Christmas because I loved them and didn’t want to miss them. I would have purchased more if they were still available and I had had enough gems. I DON’T use them for costume brawl, I use them for roleplaying or just for wandering around the cities because I LOVE the look.

So first of all why do I have to lose them?

And second, if I am going to lose them, and I’m going to receive something in exchange, why should it be an stupid endless tonic which a) I’m not going to use because as I said I don’t use my town clothes for costume brawl b) Will probably be account bound so I won’t be able to sell it and c) Maybe I will receive it twice so I will receive something useless in exchange for items for which I paid REAL money?

At least, give us our gems back! It is not the solution I want (the one I want is to keep my clothes), but it’s the less bad one.

And on a side note, they say the other costumes will be considered a “single outfit”? Again you consider them just props for costume brawl? I likes to combine my Winter outfit pieces with my riding pants! And I would have liked to combine the pirate outfit pieces even more (like wearing the pants or the shirt apart). If you make them a single item, they will become useless again ;_;

I like most of the wardrobe changes… but this change really makes me sad.

Only Taimi <3. She would be hardly noticeable on the shoulder of a Mini Golem anyway.

Come on. I’ve been wanting for a cute mini Asura to adopt as a progeny and Taimi would be perfect! But don’t make her an RNG item I will never get! Put her directly for sale (or as an achievement reward, I don’t care). You will have my gems!!!!

My clumsy little human thief in her Wintersday Attire, posing like a supermodel (I got like 15 pics with her with closed eyes before getting this one – like in real life XD). Since she’s a bit of a Tomboy, she prefers to wear it with trousers, but I think she looks classy all the same, don’t you think?

Actually there are at least two more JPs you need to complete for Map Completion: one is the Tribulation Rift one at Dredgehaunt’s Cliffs, which you need to complete to get a Vista, and the other is Vizier’s Tower in Malchor’s Leap, you need it both for a Vista and a Skill point. Not only they’re not easy, they both have veterans which spawn at the end of the puzzle and you can get killed before getting both Vistas which is rather frustrating. And the Vista at Dostoiev’s Sky Peak may not be considered a JP itself, but it is as hard as some of them out there (seriously I think it deserves its own achievement!)

I don’t adore jumping puzzles either, though I’ve learnt to tolerate them, and I have ended finding the ones in cities challenging. I mean, as long as there are no mobs trying to kill me while I jump again and again and again and start again because I tend to fall a lot (look at my signature, I really mean it), I can eventually end up doing it (though some are really frustrating, if you fall near to the end and have to start again, like that kitten Troll’s End).

So, as long as they’re not mandatory to complete the map, I’m in for more jumping puzzles, specially if they’re harmless. They may even make the monthly achievement easier. But if they’re mandatory, then… sigh, please no more!!!!

yes to both!!!

I’m not a programmer but how difficult should it be to make some preferences in auto-targetting? Like a) First choice: The foe who is attacking you. b) Second choice (if there are several foes): The one with lower health (since it is better to finish a low health one and then fight the others than fighting a full health one while another at his 5% is still hitting at you, and this is specially usefull when you’ve been downed) and c) The one closest to you, specially if you’re facing it.

About the second point I also agree. I can add another example: the “Steal food from the Grawls” at Wayfarer Foothills. Not only you have ALWAYS the same dialog, it makes a Violent reply popup window appear and in the rush I always click on it so my poor Norn is winning Violent personality points from that event day after day without wanting to XD.

I’m in for changes both in female medium and light wear (I can’t talk about heavy since I have no characters of those classes yet). I would love some medium gear which are not trench coats, and there’s no need to make them hypersexualized either (some are ok, but I’m still trying to overcome the T3 human female medium armor and the way it shows half an… apple). There are awesome low level medium armor sets like the Duelist or the Padded ones, and I would like more like that one.

Light armor on the other side goes all the way to the opposite extreme and I’d love to see some sets which don’t seem out of Rio’s Carnival. It’s not only that they show an unbelievable amount of skin (they make me shiver at the Shiverpeaks… maybe a mage gave them their name), but also they must be really uncomfortable with those huge half-skirts and those Venetian masks. Again some variety (specially trousers – I want to see my Ele’s legs when she’s jumping puzzles!) would be welcome.

But my main complain in light armor is how some pieces seem just cut… I mean. In medium armor a coat is a coat. It is a torso piece, but if it is a long coat it covers the legs and sometimes you don’t even see the trousers under it. With light armor it is as if someone took a scissor and cut the bodice in half. There are some sets in which half of the bodice is part of the torso and half part of the legs and that makes them almost impossible to combine with other sets (and makes dyeing them an unfair task if you want them to look properly). Can that, at least, be fixed?

I know that, Threat. Before posting here I’ve been checking many of the posts about this issue, and I always get the same replies “It is not mandatory” “It is part of the world so why complain” and all that. Fortunatelly some people like you gave some useful advice.

But my point is… being in WvW just exploring makes me an easy target (and people has no qualm about it, today I was trying to decide the path for a vista when three enemies attacked me by surprise, started by an immobilize spell and before I could even react they had already downed me… How can people find that funny? It was like bullies at school!), and I’m really not interested in fighting other players. Actually that’s what I like from GW2: unlike other MMRPGs, and like the original phylosophy of the old pen & paper RPGs, it encourages people to collaborate. I understand making a world appart for people who still like to kill each other but why force us to explore it, when exploration is a mostly pacific task?

Transmutation crystals can be got in game too. I have 9 and all of them came from Black Lion Chests. But I DO support this too! I keep receiving stones from map completion (while my husband receives all the keys, it’s not fair!) and I really don’t know what to do with them!

I came to this thread looking for a suggestion similar to Nikola Rebic’s one, though I like also the OP’s idea. My idea was an “explorer mode” in which the character didn’t count as a fighting player, thus he would still be killable, but he wouldn’t count as a victory for the other players, neither he would be a reinforcement for his team. They could be marked with a star or something like some NPCs in game. Of course mean players could still kill them for the pleasure, adding to the difficulty, but since they would mean no reward, that would discourage quite a bunch of people, making exploring more fair (It is not the same to fight against an AI than another player, and it’s not the same to explore dodging PvE foes than trying to avoid a player to kill you). And again PvE dangers and challenges would be there too.

I know people says “That’s the way to make you explore all the world” but in this case, why Dungeons don’t count for the Map Completion Achievement?.

Players like some of us who don’t like other players trying to kill us aren’t a burden or sissies. We just want to explore because it is beautiful and fun. And that way, we all woud win.

Another misinformed couple just South of Lion’s Arch (right at the Archen Foreland Waypoint gate, in Bloodtide Coast). Don’t these guys even frequent the taverns? I’m sure somebody should have told them!!!

Guess Scarlett managed to isolate them from all attempts to communicate them the event is over. Unless it is an excuse to wander away from their duty. My couple in Harathi Hinterlands were a male and a female so… maybe they were up into something else.

We should track here all the places we find them waiting. I will update if I find them somewhere else.

Sorry, I should have said it in my first post. My server is Tarnished Coast, and since you found them in yours too, maybe it is general.

And yes, they’re probably around in other places, actually I have the feeling I saw them somewhere else, but didn’t talk to them (and take a screenshot) until I found them in the Harathi Hinterlands.

Thanks for tracking it!

Not sure if this has been addressed before (but I searched and didn’t find it) and not exactly a bug either, more like a leftover… but…

I was exploring Harathi Hinterlands yesterday with my Ele when I found these Seraph Honor Guard guys (see attachment) at Seraph’s Landing gates. I was a bit surprised to see them around and I talked to them. They said they were waiting for someone more important than me (What? More important than the Hero of Ferel… I mean, Shaemoor??) to escort them to a Balloon to attend the Queen’s Jubilee. The poor couple was really misinformed. I would have told them the event had finished two weeks ago, but… who was I to tell them? Nobody important after all… So I’m reporting it here so a charitable soul can send message to them that the important emissary they were waiting for will never arrive…. and that there are no longer balloons waiting for them.

Anyone from Anet would do this please?

PS: I’m sorry the text in the Screencap is in Spanish, that’s the language in which I play the game, but I think this is not related to the Spanish version at all?

I thought it mean to discover “ALL” the areas? At least that’s what the achievement description says: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Explorer.

Most zones (like Maguuma or Shiverpeaks) have the opposite problem, people is always asking where are the missing places because they often miss one or two of them. That why I thought this was some kind of design mistake (and since there’s not a forum for it, I thought this was the right place for it). But if the other zones have also more areas than needed to get the achievement, just forget what I said.

I know this is the opposite of what usually happens, but I was finishing some maps with my main, and while doing the Fireheart Rise map with her, the “Ascalon Explorer achievement” popped up because I had already explored 176 areas, but it was clear that the map wasn’t complete since I had not unblocked yet “Rebel’s Seclusion” (before you say I could have unblocked it with another character, she was the only toon who had even stepped on that area, no one of the others did it before, so it was impossible). So this probably means at least one area has been added to Ascalon making it have 177 areas, but the achievement still pops up when you reach 176.

Not exactly a bug, but I think I should leave it here for the devs to look at it. And sorry if it has been reported before.

Well the same day I wrote my previous angry reply I received my dyes on the game mail. Only the dyes, not the other items lost, but well, the dyes are the ones I really wanted to recover. Not sure what to think. Maybe they’re actually replacing everybody’s items, or maybe you still need to be loud and complain about it and not let the thread die. Just don’t give up.

Happens to my human female thief too, when she enters stealth with her radiant gloves they look like cubes to me. Ugly.

No news here. Didn’t get my dyes nor anything in exchange. Not even another reply asking me what I lost in my ticket (it would be the fourth time they ask but at least that showed some interest).

Maybe I should write a long angry complain like yours? I’ve been encouraging all my friends to purchase the game and play it but if each new update means new bugs and lost items aren’t replaced, I’m not sure I don’t want them to waste their money in it.
I know my items weren’t expensive gem items or rare legendary in game weapons, but it was hard to find those dyes and moreover, I’m really bothered that they were lost in the small frame of time I took to log into another character to make room for them. I had not even used the mail as storage system, I had just received them minutes ago.

Anyway, this is getting me very upset. And I’m not willing to let this thread buried and forgotten because of that.

No news? Has anyone else got their items back?

I so support this!!! I’ve only been playing since February, and with the latest events I have many account-bound cosmetic items I really want to keep, like the Watchknight potion, Marjorie’s diary or the Sephyr Sanctum’s model, but they keep a lot of space in my inventory and I can’t even create a guild vault to store them. Not to add the gauntlet tickets or the SAB coins I don’t plan to use but I don’t want to toss away either. And what about the town clothes? I really want to purchase all of them at the Gem Store, but when comfronted to the choice to spend my gems on useless things which will take inventory space or inventory space itself, the second one wins. If we had something like a “Wardrobe” for those things, I wouldn’t have to choose and probably purchase both.

I think that:
- Even rewards like Marjorie’s diary or the Flame of Kryta torch could have their own mini slots like minis do.
- Tokens like the Gauntlet Tickets or SAB coins could go to the Wallet
- Town clothes and toys could have a special bank slot called “The Wardrobe” or something like that, limited for not combat gear and maybe also ampliable with gem purchases?

Just my two cents.

I’m still concerned about not getting laurels at all, and I mean not having completed the monthly before the patch, just after. Which seems to be happening. Nobody can confirm?

Another update and another bunch of bugs to keep them busy and distracted from this issue. :/

I still have not received a reply about my dyes, and after a month, I’m losing my hope…

I have a question, because if the answer is “No”, this could be a much more serious bug:

We already know people who did their monthly before the patch received their laurels, and when they did it again, they received no laurels.

But what about the ones who didn’t do their monthly before the patch and do it AFTER for the first time? Do they get laurels at all??

Because I’m reading other threads about it and I’m getting afraid. If only the ones who achieved it in these few days are getting their reward… well that IS a bug they should fix.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Monthly-reward-after-reset
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Laurels-missing-from-monthly

(On the other side I don’t even know if mods monitor this anymore, after they gave us an answer…)

Fixed for me too, while playing and not doing anything special, but it lasted during all the Scarlet invasion in Lornar’s Pass and it was quite a problem to gather all the farming without a way to send it to the TP. Not the best moment to have this kind of bug!

Copy-paste of what I wrote in the thread about this issue in the Account Issues sub-forum:

Same problem here, both my husband and me. EU players in US server (Tarnished Coast). I’ve been playing since February and my husband since July. My copy was purchased in Amazon.es and my husband’s in a shop online.

Should we send a ticket? I have one ticket active for another issue too.

/me hands squirrelzilla a cold beer and a plate with peanuts

Lucky ones!

I just received a reply asking me (for the very third time) which dyes had I lost. I hope that means they’re going to replace them but so far no messages for me. I hope it is just a matter of time.

Anyway congratulations! At least some of you are getting it solved and that’s definitely good news!

It would be nice to be able to throw all four to the mystic forge and get something barely useful (or sellable). But now that I think about it… I have the three crystals in one toon and the beacon in another one… and they’re soulbound so I wouldn’t be able to do that would I? (Am I the only one who hates soulbound pieces of crap?)

I /knew/ it wasn’t my imagination!! XD. For a moment I thought I was paranoid and I’m sorry I could’t find this thread yesterday when I posted my misadventures here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/speech/Scarlet-hates-me/first#post2722874

And what can I say? Flattered as I may be to have been “The chosen one” for once, given the odds to it (Come on… how many players crowd each map in each invasion)… I wish I would have been rewarded with an exotic piece of armor or something more valuable than that XD… (I’m not the lucky type when loot is involved, honestly). But at least it was fun… I somehow felt… special ….

I suppose I’m not the only one to have encountered this, but today in the last invasion I participated I had the feeling Scarlet had taken it at a personal level. I mean in the other invasions she appeared at the end of some events when there were still some players around, and we unsuccesfully hit her until the very last time she appeared, but it seemed a random pattern.

But this last time, she teleported lots of times exactly where my character was… even when I was alone running from event to event or just if I stayed a bit trying to organize my inventory to fit all the loot. And when there was more people still fighting, she always appeared right behind me, attacked me and made me fly to the other side of the event, and then disappeared.

Scarlett, honey, I know you hate how glamourous and lovely my female thief is, but you have nothing to do against it :P

(Now, does she really target characters during invasions? I’m curious, because believe me, this time she seemed to have targeted mine).

Any news? It’s been 4 days without updates in this thread, and honestly, after people received extra karma just because they complained, and the ones whose mini watchknight had disappeared got them back, I have the feeling we’re being the neglected ones. Specially since this problem is older than theirs, and I wonder if tracking erased messages and gem store purchases is really that harder than tracking who has spent karma or who has lost their watchknight.

That sounds like the karma replacement they’ve sent to the players who used their karma after they disabled the boost? Because I think the rest of us have received nothing.

Same here. To make things funnier, I received a very similar message (asking when did I receive the items, which items they were and when did I lose them) as a first reply to my ticket so I wonder why they ask again. At least in my case it is quite easy because the dyes were sent and received in the short time I spent logging in my other alts (I logged on them to make space in the inventory for those dyes) and the person who sent them plays in a computer just by my side so he could help me remember the exact name of the items lost, but even so, I’m afraid this won’t be very useful.

I hope to be wrong and that they will really find something and retrieve our items!

Except that this isn’t a new game, it is one we may have invested hours, days and months playing and enjoying, and suddenly we can’t do it the same way because of an update. And you know, some of us can’t afford a new computer each time a patch is released.

Well they still appear when I arrive to crowded places like Dwayna’s square… but slowly they get their real appearance. And it is scary… all those cloned guys in not-pink-it’s-light-red!!!!

Try changing the WvW settings in the options menu to higher res ones. I had a similar problem and it solved it. This post gave me the clue.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Character-limit-quality-PvE-is-now-WvW/first#post2663667

OK forget it. This post gave me the answer and it is fixed now:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Character-limit-quality-PvE-is-now-WvW/first#post2663667

Of course, the only combination I didn’t try was making the WvW resolution higher because… well I didn’t think it had anything to do with PvE. But it was.

And mtpelion, you made me laugh!!! XDDDDD

Auruan, I love you!!! I had the same problem but I have never played WvW so I had no idea that could be the reason! I have now changed the WvW settings and people now look normal!!! (Needed to put them in “Higher” resolution… it doesn’t make sense but well…) Thanks!!!!

I guess the easier way should be to replace our items (after checking, if they can, that we have actually received and lost them) and try to solve the bug so it doesn’t happen again. I know not much about programming or bug solving, but I suppose retrieving all the erased messages we have reported may be a much more difficult task.

I’ve been refreshing to see if anyone reports this too… but it seems I am the only one to get this bug or whatever?

After installing the latest patch (today 20th August) I was surprised to realize my husband’s PC, who was in the same party than my PC before the patch, and which is a female mesmer, looked like a faceless male stranger… in pink

http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/232/3/8/captura_de_pantalla_2013_08_20_a_la_s__18_52_3_by_soniacarreras-d6iz4sw.png

Then we switched to our sister elementalists (again female human)… and that male stranger was here again!

(But at least he kept his cute quaggan backpack).

Then we went to Divinity’s Reach and… Oh the horror!

All people had been cloned!! All player character’s were cloned into stranger male characters with a default armor (which changed depending on their class, but nothing else) which looked all the same!!!

http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/232/3/2/captura_de_pantalla_2013_08_20_a_la_s__19_39_2_by_soniacarreras-d6iz535.png

I wonder if this is due to the new Anti-culling feature or what. Anyway it is disturbing and uncomfortable and I don’t know what to solve it.

I’ve tried so far to:

- Reboot the game
- Reboot the computer
- Change resolution settings to all combinations (mainly smaller ones, less memory-consuming)

But no changes :/

I’ve also realized I get the name of the foes and ambient creatures in the distance, which is also bothering when there are too many, and I also tried to set all the “Show NPC/Enemies/PC names” options off, without them dissapearing (this can be seen also in the second screencap)

(and I can’t seem to make the images appear as images either, so I have to leave them as links. Oh well…)

Yeah, even if fixing the bug would be a good deal, I think I would be content myself too if my items were somehow replaced, if it is impossible to rescue them from the limbo they were sent.

Good idea. I’m adding my ticket number too.

130806-002953

Thanks Gaile for following up, at least that gives us some hope.
But seriously, if it is not the same thing, it sounds very similar to me. As far as I understand (at least that’s what happened to me) our experience was:
- We had X mail messages containing goods in our mail. Already received and aknowledged, but for whatever reason (full inventories, lazyness, or just being silly enough to think there was no proble to log in our alts before so we could organize things like inventories or the new wallet feature) none of us had retrieved the goods from them.
- The “Enjoy your New Wallet” message arrived. We received ONE PER CHARACTER, instead of a general message, and that message arrived each time we logged into each one of our alts. That could mean up to 8 messages… In my case it was 4.
- The overflowing “Enjoy your New Wallet” messages erased the NEWEST already existing messages so they could make their way to our mailboxes, no matter whether those messages had items attached to them or not, and no matter if these items were just stacks of carrots or items purchased in the gem store.
Please let me know if anyone thinks their issue is different to what I have tried to explain (English is not my mother tongue so I probably couldn’t make it more clear).

I received a new reply to my ticket saying it was a problem that appeared after a recent game update (oh really?? Thanks for the information!) and that they’re looking into it. At least it is not a “no-no”. Hope they solve it. I supposse it has affected too many people to neglect it this time.

Already reported too, and watching the thread opened about it in the Bugs forum, which has not received a reply from the mods yet.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Missing-player-sent-mail-after-patch/first#post2584169

I have little hopes that they will retrieve our lost items after what I have read and my previous experiences with the Support team, but if there any chance it is worth to try.

OK maybe not the exact bug, but a similar problem indeed. I have the feeling the mechanics involved in his bug are related, but I suppose we should let the devs judge it. I just wish they would give us a reply here. Seems the mods in this forum aren’t as active as in the Account Issues one, where this has been reported too.
