Craftable pets return?

in A Very Merry Wintersday

Spiral.3724

I got some magic glue from the Infiniarium today, but haven’t seen a recipe or a frame yet. At the beginning of Infiniarium it asks you what toy you want to go for, but it didn’t seem to make a difference to what dropped. Please bring the craftable minis back!

…are my two front teeth? No!
I would love love LOVE to have more permanent emotes with actions. I find myself typing in “/whatever” too many times and getting nothing. Disappointed!

I would also love more town clothes to show off, including ones that you can find in-game. (like Iron’s Tailpipe Bandana)

I’ve been good this year! Please fulfill my Wintersday wishes.

Missing Gairwen in Dreamer's Terrace

in Personal Story

Posted by: Spiral.3724

Spiral.3724

Hey guys, I’ve been reading some stuff about NPCs showing up in your home instance so I went to check mine out. However, I can’t find Gairwen. I even remember telling her in the quest to go to my home and hang out, but apparently she bailed.
Any idea where she’s supposed to stand? Or is this a bug?

How Do Get ToN Dye Kit?

Spiral.3724

I read that there is a Tower of Nightmares dye kit but I can’t find any information on where to get it. Is it a drop? A cash shop item? A reward?
Thanks.

This happened to me too. I fought for 2 hours and 41 minutes in this freaking event and got nothing because I crashed.
I put in a support ticket.

NVidia Unrecoverable Graphics Driver Error

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Spiral.3724

Spiral.3724

Hello, helpful people.
I recently installed an NVidia GeForce GT 520 and have been having some serious crashing issues. I returned the card and they sent me a replacement, so I know it’s not just a bad card.
The crashing has occurred in many different areas, in many situations, from standing still in a field to fighting Claw of Jormag with a huge group.

I know I’m going to crash when NPCs turn solid yellow, like I’ve shown here
Sometimes there is also some sound stuttering.
The crash is most often a pop-up warning about “unrecoverable graphics driver error”, but sometimes it’s just a frozen screen or black screen that I can alt-tab out to end process. Rarely I have had to press the power button on my computer to restart.

I’ll try to include as much info as possible here but let me know if I’ve missed anything.
Windows XP SP 3
Nvidia GT 520 (driver 306.81)
Intel Pentium E5700 dual-core
MSI motherboard G41M-P26 (bios version 26.9 updated 08/15/2012)
4gigs of DDR3 RAM
600W power supply

My temps are fine. I’m not overclocked. I’ve run Memtest with no problems.

In-game settings:
full screen 1680×1050
frame rate limit – 30
Animation – low
Anti-aliasing – none
Environment – low
LOD – low
Reflections – none
Texture – MEDIUM
Render – native
Shadows – low
Shaders – MEDIUM
Post-processing – none

Can anyone help me?
I know the standard answer is to run the game on all low settings, but I don’t wanna! (pouty face) Shouldn’t this card be able to handle at least a little bit of pretty?

Thanks!

Please Balance the Dye Recipes

in Suggestions

Posted by: Spiral.3724

Spiral.3724

I became a chef so I could craft dyes! I love changing the colours on my clothes.

However, I feel the recipes are a bit unbalanced. Perhaps this is “as intended”, but it would be nice if the ingredients were balanced more.

Some examples:
1. Blue, green & orange dyes don’t use any karma-bought ingredients, only gathered ingredients, while purple, red & yellow use two karma ingredients each.

2. Blueberries are required for both purple and blue dye recipes. That makes sense colour-wise, but it’s tough to get enough blueberries to make both dyes.

3. I was happy when they added more onions into dye recipes (both orange & yellow) because onions are found freaking everywhere, but somehow celery got removed and is now pretty much useless. Maybe add celery as one of the green components and remove spinach or oregano? And replace onion with lettuce in one recipe?

You Know Your Playing Too Much GW2 When....

When you find a lemon in your fridge and get excited because you needed that for a cooking recipe.

YES! I was in the grocery store the other day and was excited to find Bay Leaves. I started putting together recipes in my head.

Also, I do hum the soundtrack, and I can’t play any other games cuz double-tap evade doesn’t do anything!

I have also mistakenly signed off emails as my avatar name, thankfully only to my family and not at work!

zero before decimal please

Spiral.3724

Could you please put a 0 before the decimal point in descriptions? I know this is nit-picky but a friend of mine made a bunch of Minor Sigils of Luck because he thought it said 2% increase to magic find, when really it said .2%. That tiny little dot makes all the difference! Please change it to read 0.2%.
Thank you.

Leveling Too Easy?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Spiral.3724

Spiral.3724

I hit level 80 yesterday without trying.
I feel a little disappointed. It’s kinda like a spent a few days in kindergarten playing in the sandbox and drawing stick figures, and someone handed me my high school diploma.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had fun, and I know that leveling to 80 isn’t the point, but I just feel like … well, honestly, I feel like it should have been harder to hit level cap. I don’t want it to be this easy! I want to struggle. I want to feel like the reward is worth the effort.

If tomorrow they said, “Sorry, we’re changing our leveling system and you’re now level 40”, I wouldn’t be all that upset. I think I’ve done enough content to be about halfway to cap.

What do you guys think?

Hold Your Ground, ANet!

Spiral.3724

It’s obvious from this forum that the staff of ANet are overwhelmed with suggestions. I send virtual cupcakes to the poor souls who have to read through all this stuff!

But please, be strong!
Don’t give in to players who are begging for nerfs or less cash shop stuff or unlocking whatever so their game can be easier.
I completely understand that you need to make money to keep our servers up and running, and to develop new content and keep the game fresh.
I totally want things to be hard so that our game doesn’t fill up with arrogant, entitled level 80 noobs.

Thank you for a great game and for listening!

YES YES YES!
Numbers 1 through 9 are absolutely spot on.

I would add:
Inspecting another player should be a toggled option, allowing the player to choose whether to allow inspection.

Guild Suggestions

in Suggestions

Posted by: Spiral.3724

Spiral.3724

I have seen most of my suggestions on other posts, but I will sum up briefly here.

1. When a person is kicked from the guild, it should say “Suchandsuch has left the guild” or some other neutral statement, NOT “OfficerJoe has kicked Suchandsuch”. That is bad for guild morale.

2. It would be nice if a message popped up in chat when a guildie logged in. Right now I am using the Friend feature for all my guildmates so that I know when they log on and can say “Hi!”

3. The Message of the Day should pop up in the chat box when you rep that guild, and also when it is changed.

4. The guild leaders should be able to see more details regarding their members, including join date, last login date and perhaps influence earned. This can help leaders to determine who to kick and who to promote, and also help run in-guild contests.

5. No two guilds should be able to have the same guild tag! I saw a recruiting announcement using just the four-letter tag that was identical to ours. That can be confusing! Not sure how you will figure out who gets what tag though. First-come first-serve?

6. The guild banners don’t show the guild name in full, just the tag. Please give more details when someone clicks on a public banner so they can know who is helping them!

7. The cost of guild armor is waaaaay too high and it is one-time use. When I purchased the armor upgrade, I thought it would be something that all guildies would have fun using, but no one wants to spend the money. So….

8. Bring back guild capes! But of course, make it so they can be shown or not shown.

Can't buy butter from vendor anymore...?

And the prices have all gone up for the karma items! NOT FAIR. I’m already spending way too much karma and cash just to level my cooking. Why are they punishing us chefs even more? Does this have something to do with all those people saying you can level to 80 with just cooking? I don’t care about that! I love cooking (or loved) and enjoyed making noms for my guildies. Now I want to quit because it’s even more expensive and hard to find.
