Guild Wars 2

Glad to have tried to help. Sorry I couldn’t find a quick and easy reason for it disappearing. I hope support can help and I look forward to your keeping us updated here.

I’m sorry to say that I’m out of ideas and it is most likely something only Support can help you with now. Have you filed a support ticket yet, and if so, have you gotten a response from support about the issue?

If you have not filed a support ticket yet, then you may want to so that ArenaNet Support can help you on a more involved level. They will need to work with you to find out what is going on. You can do that by going to this link and clicking on “Ask A Question” at the top middle of the page and filling out the relevant fields to file the support ticket. You may also want to include a link to your thread with the ticket.

No problem on English, you do well.
Is it possible that you may have placed a bulk Buy Order on the 18 slot bags instead of making an immediate purchase? Can you check your “Items I’m Buying” tab to see if you have the money tied up in buy orders?

Functionality

• Catcher Back Item Skins [ 1 , 2 ] [ Dev Response ]
  Publicly tradeable skins cannot be added to PvP Back Item Gallery, only account bound Fortune Scraps purchased skins can be deposited

It has been this way since the back items were introduced. It has not been fixed yet, though it was acknowledged and submitted to be fixed on August 26th. May need to be patient on the fix going in with a future patch.

Also listed here with some other reported bugs and their status: “Tracker – Living World/Game Update Bugs”

Wow. That is quite the impressive list of checking done on your part to try to resolve the issue.

I haven’t been able to find anything else related to this issue yet, though some who have had this problem have mentioned being able to mail and sell items on the TP normally if they go into their “Home” instance. I’m still trying to get my head around how the systems might be designed to allow for this type of issue to arise. I hope your support ticket proves fruitful in resolving it, though I will definitely keep looking for any possible fix for you.

Vashoom.8512:

I can’t sell any items on the trading post for over 2 days, maybe my problems relate to the cause that made these issues.
I get “error attempting to sell” message every time I try to sell anything, I’m unable to sell anything

There may be a couple of reasons for your receiving this error non-stop. Though, seeing as you clearly have had a game account since at least last September, it doesn’t seem to be related to the restrictions to TP and in-game mail usage that is placed on new game accounts.

However, the TP and in-game mail system seem to be tied together in many ways. So, even though this may not sound logical at all and would seem to have absolutely no relation to your trading post not working, please give it a try.

• Can you try to send me (or anyone else) an in-game mail and see if you get an error message stating, “Processing previous mail.”

I’ve seen these two issues (unable to sell on TP, and unable to send a mail) being tied together. Others have reported that cleaning mail out of their mailbox has helped resolve the issue, though some needed to empty it completely and then do a full game restart.

Also, have you tried to run the -repair command on your GW2 installation?
Have you tried deleting your GW2 game cache or deleting your local.dat file?
I don’t expect it to be related to these, but I’ve learned to disregard logic with many areas of this game lately, so one of them may actually help if the mail deletion doesn’t.

If you would like, I’ll help you in more detail on these steps if the mail deletion doesn’t help.

OP, are you sure you did not actually purchase those 560 gems instead of simply seeing how many you could buy with the amount of coin you had?

It is likely that you did actually purchase the gems and then went to purchase bags and found you had only a few silver left, which is due to having actually bought those gems you were checking to see the amount that you could afford.

Hicci.8761:

I get that also. It’s really weird as I have all options turned to max. My friend sees me like that ALL the time. I think this deserves a fix.

Your friends see you as a generic model because their settings are turned low. They need to increase their settings for Character Model Detail.
What your settings are at does not determine what others see on their screens, only on yours.

Kyven.7514:

Still not fixed for me. :/

Which issue are you experiencing that isn’t fixed for you?
Ah, I see. Have you tried to do a full game restart since the time it was fixed for others having the issue?

No problem. I wasn’t sure how long the issues were going to go on for so I wanted to make sure everyone stayed informed

Take care.

You may want to check that your mailbox is not full. New messages cannot be delivered if the box is full. Try to delete some player-sent mails from your mailbox to allow the new message to be delivered.

valkilmer.3845:

Trading post issues related to logging into the game with new characters? Something needs to be restarted. Any info on where all these issues are coming from?

“We are aware that many of our players are getting connection errors and error 42 in particular. This is due to the high traffic on our servers at the moment.

The same issue is causing some players to be unable to create a new characters. We are working on this issue and hope to have resolved this soon.”

It appears they are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it.

Resolved – Trading Post Buy/Cancel Issues
This situation has come about before, do not be alarmed. However, there are some things you must be made aware of:

• Clicking the ‘Buy’ button gives a message that it could not purchase desired goods or that your request did not match any current listings
• Canceling a Buy Order does not place the allotted coin into the Pick Up tab
• Canceling a Sell Listing for an item does not return the item to the Pick Up tab

When the situation is resolved your Pick Up tab will update to include:

• Each item you attempted to purchase. Yes, every single ‘’Buy’ click you made actually did purchase the item. If you clicked a lot, then expect a lot of undesired goods in your Pick Up tab. You can then look to re-list them to recoup some of the coin spent erroneously on them.
• The coin from all canceled buy orders will be added into your Pick Up tab. You did not lose any of this coin.
• All items you had listed for sale that you then canceled will be appropriately delivered to your Pick Up tab.

I highly recommend ceasing any interaction with the Trading Post until this is sorted out by ArenaNet.

Resolved – Temporary Account Upgrade Message

GW2 Twitter
“We’re aware of the “upgrade to a full account” problem and are checking into it now.”

Resolved – New Character Creation Error Message
Attempting to finalize the creation of a new character results in an error message.
(“42:0:0:0:101” is the most common one given)

“We are aware that many of our players are getting connection errors and error 42 in particular. This is due to the high traffic on our servers at the moment.

The same issue is causing some players to be unable to create a new characters. We are working on this issue and hope to have resolved this soon.”

I will update with responses to any other concerns regarding the current issues with the Trading Post or the character creation issue.

I highly recommend not even using the TP. It is likely that each of your ‘buy’ clicks actually is buying the items despite the message you receive. When the TP gets sorted out you may expect to see a ton of things in your pick up tab for each attempted ‘buy’ click. This has been the case in the past with this issue.

With all of the issues going on with the game today, I’m not even going to attempt logging in for fear of something being broken on my account/characters.

Nalora.7964:

I have figured out the common denominator on the characters with dates which are wrong.

Each one was changed using a hairstyle kit. Now according to wiki these kits were not available til November, so no clue why each of these characters has Sept. 15 as creation date.

Knowing why they changed is half the battle. At least I know why and what caused it.

I’ve seen this mentioned within some bug report threads over the past 5-6 months. They were stating that the only thing they could attribute their character creation date change to was the use of a Total Makeover or Hairstyle Kit. I’ll see about digging through 6 months of bug threads to find those comments :\

I’m very glad to hear it!

As this seems to have become a thing recently for some new characters, hopefully the part of the tutorial story where Eir opens the gates can be looked at by devs to see if there is a hitch.

Happy hunting!

Have you attempted to log out to the character select screen and return to the training area to see if it will progress?

Another player reported recently that the Norn tutorial area was bugged for them.

Did you happen to use a Scroll of Experience to make yourself level 20 inside of the tutorial zone by chance?

Or are you also a necromancer and the killing blow on the Wurm was done by a minion?

The other person solved their problem and advanced the tutorial story by guesting to another server and not using minions.

Would you mind including a screenshot of your collection?

I’ve read some people having issues of some minis not counting for some reason. I believe they had to go through Support to resolve the issue.

As you specifically mentioned collecting minis from Collection #1 I’m sure you already know, but if you do not, ‘Special’ miniatures do not count toward the achievement.

This thread is still stickied, but I haven’t had the issue for several days now of nameplates still showing despite being hidden. Is this fixed for everyone else as well?

I would like to add that the only way I have even been able to play the game, after having this serious issue for over a year, is the AutoHotKey workaround mentioned in that thread.

Main thread for this issue:
Mouse losing focus -right click to turn not working [Merged]
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Mouse-losing-focus-right-click-to-turn-not-working-Merged

All of these are related to the same issue. Most affected users encounter it with their Razer Naga and Logitech mice, though it has also been an issue for Hewlett Packard, Microsoft and generic brand mice.

Issue: Mouse Button Loses Focus and Does Not Reacquire It

• Most of the time that this issue is present (it is inconsistent), the mouse actually loses focus and never reacquires it, which prevents character and camera orientation with the right mouse button and leaves the game in a completely unplayable state. Some days it is very bad and prevents you from even being able to play, other times it is only a couple times a minutes, but leads to frustration and not playing the game the rest of that day.

Issue: Nearby Friendly Target Being Selected Unintentionally Due To Mouse Button Losing Focus and Reacquiring It Quickly

• The option to ‘Disable Right-click Targeting’ has helped with the linked issue of randomly selecting a nearby friendly target while moving your camera with the right mouse button. This happens because the mouse tracking has an issue to where the game reads you as releasing the mouse button (despite your having never released it) and then re-‘clicks’ the button down quickly. Due to this issue, if your cursor was over/near another friendly, then they become your new target as if you had intentionally clicked on them to select them.

Issue: Total Target Loss Due To Mouse Button Losing Focus and Reacquiring It Quickly Over Empty Area of the Screen

• However, disabling right-click targeting and interaction has simply made the issue of a new target stop happening, the issue of losing your target due to the glitch in mouse focus persists. Now we just have target loss due to the quick un-click and re-click of the right mouse button over an empty area of the screen which deselects the current target; instead of both target loss and random friendly selection.

Superior Rune of Vampirism

(1): +25 Power
(2): 5% chance to cause your next attack to steal health when hit. (Cooldown: 15s)
(3): +50 Power
(4): Your next attack after using your healing skill steals health.
(5): +90 Power
(6): You become mist when you fall below 10% health. (Cooldown: 60s)

Issues: Set Bonus #6

• Bonus #6 doesn’t always trigger when reaching 10% hp or less.
• It has also been reported as triggering when reaching 10% downed-state health instead of at 10% hp in the active state.
• Old Bonus #6 issue, aahisatonapin.8057 recently reported it as no longer functioning incorrectly in this manner:
  When Bonus #6 does trigger, the Mist Form you are placed in does not have any graphical appearance to show you as being in Mist Form, yet it does force all skill loss for 3 seconds as it should, but it does not apply invulnerability for that time as it should.

Major Rune of Vampirism & Superior Rune of Vampirism
Issues: Set Bonus #4

• Using Self Heal (skill #6) and then attacking a single target enemy does not steal health.
• Using Self Heal (skill #6) and then attacking target enemies with an AOE damaging skill does not steal health from even one target from within the AOE.

One cause of Bonus #4 not working is the documented issue of:
“When an armor piece is damaged and then repaired, you must un-equip all armor pieces and re-equip them again otherwise the 4th bonus will not work. You will no longer see the Leech indicator.”
Players have reported that the damaging of armor following death is enough to cause this issue, not the act of repairing the damaged armor from death. Switching to towns clothes and back functions the same as un-equipping all armor and re-equipping them and is much quicker.

Jason King noted these issues as being investigated over 10 months ago but they were never addressed.

• Looking to test out if the issue of Bonus #6 triggering late and happening after being put into the downed-state still happens. It would cause you to be downed, in mist form and locked out of skills, but still be vulnerable. (aka: sitting duck)
• Looking to test out if the issue of Bonus #6 triggering when reaching 50% and/or 10% of life force while in Death Shroud still happens.
• Looking to test out if the issue of inconsistent Mist Form duration when Bonus #6 triggers still happens. (less than 1 second – 5 second durations reported)

Pics, Vids, player testing, possibly some more issues:

• https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Superior-Rune-of-Vampirism-Bugged
• https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Rune-of-Vampirism-1

Will look to update this after more confirmations that some of the other bugs with these runes still exist. Though giving the coding of these runes a thorough looking at would be the most ideal solution.

Does anyone even use this rune set anymore? Are any other bugs with these runes still around?

Please refer to the Sticky Threads titled “Black Screen Issue” for your graphics card manufacturer. If the issue persists after following the instructions in the appropriate thread, let us know

:)
That’s awesome! I had to clean my own cache out for the first time in over a year after that patch a few days ago. Hopefully we won’t run into any more problems for a while.

Treborlavok.3504:

Stin your the best! Thanks!

Ill try this when I get home. I had to leave for work. But thanks again and ill update the thread tomorrow morning.

Not a problem! I hope it works out for you when you get back and that all is right with the (game) world once again.

At what stage of the training areas are the stories not progressing past?

Have you attempted to log out to the character screen and return to the training area to see if it will progress?

StinVec.3621:

Sorry, by “window menus” I mean up at the top of the window where it says “File Edit View Tools Help”.
If that does not display in your window for you along the top, then click the drop-down arrow next to the word “Organize” and then click on “Layout” and select “Menu bar” to enable showing of the menus.

edit
Sorry, I made the assumption you were running Win7 or similar OS instead of XP and that the menu bar was displayed…I suppose it may be hidden by default in vista/7/8, I’m not too certain anymore.

Another way is to go to your Control Panel from your Start Menu. If Control Panel items are sorted by “Category” then select “Appearance and Personalization” on the right side, then in the second bottom area under “Folder Options” click on “Show hidden files and folders”. This will open the same options dialogue box I attached an image of earlier. Otherwise, if Control Panel is sorted by Icons, simply click on “Folder Options” from the list to bring up the options dialogue box I attached an image of earlier.

(again, I’m still assuming Windows 7)

Kyllaa.1385:

Thanks for following up with that Stin!

That’s really bizarre that all work except English! But I suspect the cache would fix your issue then.

:D
I can only think that switching to an alternate language from English exports the new language files from the GW2 archive file into the temporary folder. Since the English language files are already exported to the temporary folder, switching back to English from another language simply uses the same temporary English files that are messed up instead of re-exporting the English files once more and overwriting the old English files.

If that makes sense and is also how the language files work.

Sorry, by “window menus” I mean up at the top of the window where it says “File Edit View Tools Help”.
If that does not display in your window for you along the top, then click the drop-down arrow next to the word “Organize” and then click on “Layout” and select “Menu bar” to enable showing of the menus.

Most TP issues are related to some temporary GW2 files where removing them will allow them to be recreated and the TP to function properly again.

First Option:

1. Close your game completely.
2. Browse your My Computer to: C:\Users\YourComputerUserName
3. Then in the window menus, click on “Tools” then “Folder Options…”
4. In the window that pops up, click the “View” tab
5. Select to “Show hidden files, folders and drives” and click ‘OK’ (attached image)
6. You should now see a folder in your file listing called “AppData”, open this folder
7. Inside that folder open the “Local” folder
8. Inside that folder open the “Temp” folder
9. You should now see a folder called “gw2cache-{1501A8C1-6AA1-1601-C2A8-0115A16A0116}” or something similar. Delete this gw2cache folder.
10. Load up your game normally and see if the issue is fixed.

Another thing to try:
If the above solution did not fix the problem then there is another file that must be deleted. This one will cause you to lose your saved game settings so try the above solution first so you do not have to needlessly reconfigure your settings.

1. Ensure your game is completely closed.
2. Browse your My Computer to: C:\Users\YourComputerUserName\Documents\Guild Wars 2
3. Inside this Guild Wars 2 folder you should see a file called “local.dat”, rename this file to “backup-local.dat”
4. Load up your game normally. You may have a small (40-50mb) download to replace the renamed file. See if the issue is fixed once in-game.
5. If it is fixed then you will notice your settings are all reverted to default. You should reconfigure your game settings once again to your preference. You can then delete the “backup-local.dat” file.

If neither of these options fixed the issue, then you may want to submit a customer support ticket so that ArenaNet Support can help you on a more involved level that may include checking of some other elements that may be causing the issue: PC hardware settings, firewall settings, software settings, or UAC settings. They will need to work with you to find out what is going on. You can do that by going to this link and clicking on “Ask A Question” at the top middle of the page and filling out the relevant fields to file the support ticket.

Wouldn’t it be logical, as well as give the game more polish and actually be insightful and helpful to players who have not entered a name, to simply present them with a proper error message that states they must enter a username to join that player’s party or to invite them to theirs…instead of an obscure error code and inaccurate login server access error message?

VoxShatterfall.5470:

I’d say probably not, since walking in a direction is the resulting action.
Besides, since when was diagonal movement a macro haha.

If you could rebind the keys there to do the jump evade… now thats a bit more devious.

Now that is an interesting thought. On the product page it states that some buttons and features won’t work unless the SteelSeries software is installed. Perhaps the diagonal keys will not function at all without the software, they’d just be dead keys. Even with the software, perhaps setting them to move diagonally is only an option for the keys, and that they can be bound to perform different functions, like jump and dodge.

Hmm, I use right shift and right ctrl to dodge and jump (respectively), so I don’t know if having those diagonal keys bound to non-diagonal moving actions (if they are determined to be not permitted) would be enough to want to purchase it.
:\

edit
Apparently the diagonal keys do work without the software installed.
“The diagonal keys will work outside of the SteelSeries Engine”

Squidlips.3817:

This doesn’t look like it violates the policy to me. Most keyboards use 2 keys to activate one action (moving diagonally). This keyboard would be 1 key to activate one action.

The act of moving diagonally is not one action, it requires the combined effects of pressing two individual keys that perform their individual actions; moving sideways and moving forward. This key seems to perform both the forward movement and the sideways movement at the same time with the use of a single key press instead of two individual keys. So it is definitely One Key that performs Two Actions. My question isn’t whether it performs two actions with its single key press, it would, but rather one of whether or not this behavior by this Guild Wars 2 branded keyboard is not actually permitted to be used with Guild Wars 2, or if those keys would need to be disabled or unused during GW2 play?

Diagonal Keys and GW2
http://steelseries.com/products/games/guild-wars-2/guild-wars-2-gaming-keyboard

I have some concerns about features offered with this Guild Wars 2 keyboard.
One concern is ArenaNet’s policy that states “One Key = One Action”.

I play using the arrow keys as I’ve never really been able to get used to the WASD keys due to them being offset from eachother as well as kind of being crowded by other keys. The SteelSeries Guild Wars 2 Gaming Keyboard includes two new keys by the arrow keys: Diagonals! Now, this feature really makes me want to pick up this keyboard due to my using the arrow keys for maneuvering.

However, the main problem preventing me from grabbing one is that the added diagonal arrow keys to this keyboard most likely function to where pressing it would cause your character to move as if you were pressing forward and also pressing the strafe key.

This presents a problem: Wouldn’t the diagonal keys perform “One Key = Two Actions”. So this keyboard has the Guild Wars 2 name, but offers at least one fantastic feature that is not permitted to be used while playing Guild Wars 2? Is this correct?

Others are free to discuss the macro key options that all gaming keyboards have and Anet policies and whatnot with those features if you want. But my main question is if those diagonal keys, the main reason I’d be interested in getting this keyboard, are actually not permitted to be used with Guild Wars 2?

Thank you.

Andre.7068:

How did you fix it? I have the same problem and still have

What was the issue? The OP edited out what the issue was, so hopefully we can help you with the issue you’re having if you can state what issue it is.

AndrewPwner.7820:

My patch was around 53MB and took around 4 mintues at 200kb/s.
Also, The full game is around 16.4gb so if you re-downloading the full game it wouldn’t be at 30% at 700mb.
Check to make sure you didn’t acccidentally move stuff around and it’s re-downloading lost files?

Unfortunately, the percentage completed displayed for the update is not based on file size, it is based on number of files. So if you have 100 files to download and you’ve downloaded 99 of them, the update will be sitting at 99% until that last file downloads, even it the last one is 500mb in size and the other 99 were 1kb in size. :\

Did you happen to change your game language during your game session prior to the new patch? I have seen others have to download what we could only guess was a language pack that added an extra few gigs to the installation size. I don’t know if that may be the case or not, it’s just the only thing that came to mind regarding mystery gigs in a patch size while others had the usual patch size.

Centhanir.3849:

your asura is so cute!

Thanks!
Xevoxia (“Lil’ Miss”) had over an hour of tweaking to get her juuuust right. I thought, “Any cuter and she’d be Skritt!” She already has the thirst for shinies. With coin being account-wide now, she knew she’d get those shiny clothes before she even hit level 5. And she did. I should’ve known her cuteness would be trouble. Now to keep her from seeing the new miniatu… uh-oh…

I’ve listed these in the “Functionality” section of my Tracker – Living World/Game Update Bugs thread and linked it to your thread. Hopefully they can be looked at soon since we now have a really great dev taking care of the bug reporting community.

Functionality

Josh Davis.6015:

Hey StinVec,

I never noticed that! I’ll look into this tomorrow when everyone gets back into the office.

Thanks!

They don’t display in the login screen either…. hint hint.

I know what you did there.

I had already mentioned that in the original post as well as included that in the screenshot. I don’t quite see what they did there, but I’m glad someone else really hopes they’ll be made visible at the character select screen as well.

I realize that there may be some issues and/or limitations with displaying the back items on characters in the Character Select Screen, just as weapons are not displayed there. However, back items are armor pieces as well, and should at least display on the character in the Hero panel. Back item armor is also not displayed on the character in the preview window by default, they are only visible there if you are actually previewing a back item…mainly why I find this all quite odd. Really looking forward to finding out more on all of this.

Regarding Achievement Points.
If you hover over your Total Achievement Points in the top left of your achievement panel it will show you a breakdown of what you’ve earned them from. Really helps if you don’t want to count your dailies/monthlies so you can see how much you’ve earned out in the world just as you’ve mentioned in your post.

Main thread for this issue:
Mouse losing focus -right click to turn not working [Merged]
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Mouse-losing-focus-right-click-to-turn-not-working-Merged

All of these are related to the same issue. Most affected users encounter it with their Razer Naga and Logitech mice, though it has also been an issue for Hewlett Packard, Microsoft and generic brand mice.

Issue: Mouse Button Loses Focus and Does Not Reacquire It

• Most of the time that this issue is present (it is inconsistent), the mouse actually loses focus and never reacquires it, which prevents character and camera orientation with the right mouse button and leaves the game in a completely unplayable state. Some days it is very bad and prevents you from even being able to play, other times it is only a couple times a minutes, but leads to frustration and not playing the game the rest of that day.

Issue: Nearby Friendly Target Being Selected Unintentionally Due To Mouse Button Losing Focus and Reacquiring It Quickly

• The option to ‘Disable Right-click Targeting’ has helped with the linked issue of randomly selecting a nearby friendly target while moving your camera with the right mouse button. This happens because the mouse tracking has an issue to where the game reads you as releasing the mouse button (despite your having never released it) and then re-‘clicks’ the button down quickly. Due to this issue, if your cursor was over/near another friendly, then they become your new target as if you had intentionally clicked on them to select them.

Issue: Total Target Loss Due To Mouse Button Losing Focus and Reacquiring It Quickly Over Empty Area of the Screen

• However, disabling right-click targeting and interaction has simply made the issue of a new target stop happening, the issue of losing your target due to the glitch in mouse focus persists. Now we just have target loss due to the quick un-click and re-click of the right mouse button over an empty area of the screen which deselects the current target; instead of both target loss and random friendly selection.

That would be really awesome, thank you! Many people take vanity screens of their characters at the Character Select Screen or from the Hero Panel, so back items not being visible on those models is very disappointing. Have a good night!

Race: All
Class: All
Gender: All …err…both
Item: All Back Items with a graphical appearance
Issue: Any ‘Back Item’ with a graphical appearance does not get displayed on the rotatable 3D model of our character in the ‘Hero Panel’. However, previewing a back item that has a graphical appearance does display it on the 3D rotatable model of our character in the ‘Preview Window’.
Additionally, ‘Back Items’ with a graphical appearance are also not displayed on our 3D rotatable models of our characters at the ‘Character Select Screen’.

I can instead add this to the “Issues with character art, weapons, or armor?” sticky thread if it would be better to report this type of issue there. It wasn’t clipping or texture related and is more of a UI issue, so I opted for bringing attention to it in its own thread.

You may consider adding your detailed description of this bug with that pic and a link to this thread into the new sticky post at the top of the Game Bugs forum: “Issues with character art, weapons, or armor?”

I believe it may garner quicker results in being directed to those responsible for fixing clipping issues like this.

Can you try to use the Dye Remover tool on all of the dye slots on those items and save the changes with all dye removed. Then go back in and try to dye them again to your liking and see if it will save the changes then.

Which server/world are you on where these are stuck?

That is one awesome gif! You are my hero in regards to including visual evidence of a bug in your report!

I’ve just listed this in the “Functionality” section of my Tracker – Living World/Game Update Bugs thread and linked it to your thread.
