Guild Wars 2

I want ArenaNet to remove at least 75% of the waypoints in each zone
There are too many waypoints in zones in the first place. Having the excessive number of waypoints we currently have only encourages porting around to the different champs instead of actually moving through the world and experiencing it on the way to an event.

Why should a person run 2-5min to the next champ when they can just waypoint right to it for a fee that is recouped just by killing the champ (or looting a single kill) when they get there? Waypoint availability encourages champ farming zerg trains for the purpose of gold/hour optimization.

Remove at least 75% of the waypoints in each map and the zerging and champ farming will go away as the optimal sequence of champs due to spawn times becomes irrelevant. It would deter players who are only in the zone to farm champs for gold/loot and who do nothing but create a hostile environment for other players who are simply enjoying the game as it is intended to be.

ArenaNet, you created this gorgeous world. However, not only are you encouraging players to ‘skip’ through it and ignore the beauty of the world, but you are also rewarding them for doing so.

To unlock each manual you must first unlock the previous tier manual.
Have you unlocked Adept and then unlocked Master already before trying to unlock Grandmaster?

Zombie Barbie.2874:

Thank you for your help! I actually asked my guild that same question and someone said this same answer all fixed now!

No problem Glad you’re all good now.

Mine still glows and illuminates the surrounding area when I set my shaders to low.
I’ve tried to change settings around to reproduce the issue of it failing to illuminate the surrounding area, but I haven’t found any setting combination that can reproduce it.

Can you include a screenshot of your graphics options please? It may be related to another setting in combination with shaders being set to low.

Also, what brand graphics card are you using? I am using AMD. If you are using AMD as well, then it may also be related to a setting in the Catalyst Control Center. I’ll mess with my settings in there to see if I can get the issue to occur for me. If you are using NVIDIA…not sure I can help much with that.

Auto-Attack

• Hold your CTRL key and click your right-mouse button on your #1 skill. If auto-attack is off, then this will turn it back on for that skill. If it was already on then it will no longer be on auto-attack. Repeat to re-enable auto-attack on that skill. Only one skill can have auto-attack enabled on it at a time.

The small lock above your #4 skill, combined with the auto-attack ‘refresh’ arrows being grayed out, means that auto-attack does not work with that skill since that skill requires ground targeting to deploy.

Aerin Dark Water.6283:

is it really that loud?

try setting you enviornmental/terrain sound effects down. That helped for me. (also, because for some reason waterfalls or water effects is super loud sometimes, so another reason I have my enviornmental/terrain sound down about 2/3-1/2).

It is extremely loud and piercing. The loud noise still occurs even if the Master Volume slider is all the way down to zero. We’ve also tested with each individual slider controls turned off and the sound still happens. It isn’t attributable to any area of game sound as it completely ignores any volume slider. We’ve also tested with every level of Sound Quality, Music Interval and Mixing Buffer Size to see if it could be attributed to one of those and it still would occur.

I’m still doing other tests to see if I can pinpoint what it might be related to, though I still think it may be related to the awesomium_process.exe that is created in a temporary folder and is used by GW2 for the TP to function. I’m working on some tests relating to that process now to see if I can go at least a few hours without the bang happening.

Agreed, two sigils with the same effect is pointless and must be a tool-tip bug. Either that or they didn’t realize they created two of the same thing but with different names.

Any idea if the two sigils have been tested to see if both are increasing condition duration or if sigil of bursting is actually doing something else and it is only a ‘wrong tool-tip’ issue?

Have No Faith In Me.1840:

Finished the Balloon Tower Tourist as the 16th achievement needed for this meta achievement. Was given the chest with the balloon toy, and did not receive the Queen’s Jubilee Completionist achievement, the 50 points or the mini watchknight. It shows it completed, but does not show it on the “recently completed” section of the Summary page.

May also happen with torch run achievement chest.

There are only 13 Jubilee achievements listed for the event, and the Jubilee Completionist requires 16. To get the other 3 to then finish the achievement, you must do 3 Jubilee related daily tasks.

1. Are you attempting to sell items via the “Sell On Trading Post” tab (coin stack icon) on the trading post?
2. Or are you right-clicking an item in your bag and left-clicking “Sell at Trading Post”?

Do both of these methods display an empty page to you in the trading post instead of the “Sell” screen where items in your bags to sell are shown on the left?

If you have had reason to or would like to test, are you still able to purchase items from the trading post or is the “Buy” button for items grayed out as well?

I’ve now included this thread in my Tracker – Living Story/Game Update Bugs thread. I’m very sorry to see this situation and what is apparently not being done to correct it.

Try holding your CTRL key and right-mouse clicking on your #1 skill. If auto-attack was off, then this will turn it back on for that skill. If it was already on then it will no longer be on auto-attack. Repeat to re-enable auto-attack on that skill.

Was this what was causing the problem?

andy.8031:

I did all the queen Jennah’s Jubilee achievements but did not get Queen’s jubilee completionist says have (15/16) but did all the achievements. Also I did not receive my Mini Watchknight. What do I do?

Re-read my post 2 above yours. It explains why you have 15/16 and how to get your 16th.

Yep, has been happening for quite some time, though the last few days it has been happening very frequently.

Atra Culpa.5012:

I’m on 82/83. I know which one I’m missing, because the Full Mailbox isn’t checked. Thing is, I’m at 10/10 in my mailbox, can’t receive any more mail, but the hint isn’t popping.

Make sure they are player mails and not game-sent mails. Game mails do not count toward the completion, but they do count in keeping new mail from being delivered. Try to delete any game mails and then ask some players to send you mails to fill your box. This should solve it.

Malimber.8973:

I am having an issue with the hint achievement where it will not mark off that I have done the second hint for PvP (finishing off an opponent with the ‘F’ button). I have done this many times yet it still won’t check it off. I have checked the battle log on the side as I do it and it credits me with the finish so I don’t understand why it won’t show the hint as completed. Is this a bug or do I have to do this a certain number of times before it shows that it was completed?

Try to perform a finishing move in the training grounds. That might trigger it.
I think that is how I ticked mine off as I have never taken part in PvP.

Bragdras.9572:

You don’t see the difference in color between the face and the skin? Or how she has a young body, and an old face?

I see now what you mean by a skin color change at the neck, but what do you mean she has a “young body”?

What servers/worlds are all of you on that are experiencing it with many chests in many towers?

So far servers/worlds I have heard that are having this widespread issue of chests appearing opened upon visiting for the first time are:

• (EU) Whiteside Ridge

Regarding the issue of two towers in Queensdale reading as being the same tower. Opening the chest at one causes the other to be opened as well but only counts as 1 tower for achievement. Same issue in Wayfarer Foothills. This separate issue seems to be game-wide, and not world specific.

“Unknown hits you for 121,635 using Shadowfall.”

More titles would be nice.
I completed the Emergency Response Hero achievement; the one where you complete 5,000 Dynamic Events (those things that are the “bread and butter” of GW2). It would have been very nice to have earned a title to wear with pride as it would display my adventuring nature.

Also, where is the 10,000 Dynamic Events Completed achievement? Or 9,001 Dynamic Events Completed achievement (aka: Over 9000)? So many possibilities, and there is almost no utilization of this reward system or creativity in the existing titles. I hope that will change in the future.

I see zerg trains in Queensdale running from champ to champ for hours and hours straight. I expect that the majority of the players in the zerg are only there for the chance at looting the new skins.

Now, in this group of players only in the zerg for the skins, there are those who want the skins for personal use, and those who want them just to sell on the TP for gold.

As to the players of the zerg who are actually hoping to loot the skins for personal use, your time would be better spent in the Crown Pavilion zerg. After taking part in the CP zerg off and on for about a total of 4 hours over 3 days, I had ‘earned’ enough gold (85g) to buy two Rapiers off of the TP if I wanted to. And this also shows that those of the champ zerg who want the skins to sell them, you’re likely to make more gold in the CP zerg than what you might make from selling a skin if you happen to get one to drop for you.

Not to also mention the foul environment created in the Queensdale starting zone
due to the players that are farming champs getting very offensive in chat when people interrupt their champ kill order (thanks, report function).

Give the champ farmers a week and they’ll move on. In about a week, I foresee most of the new skins being worth under 5 gold on the TP, as many are already down to a gold or two and change.

Think I might spend the afternoon tomorrow in the CP zerg just to hit the 200g mark for the achievement.

ZaxanRazor.6235:

But that doesn’t explain why I can’t open any in Maguuma areas?

I wonder if a new bug was introduced with the hotfix they did yesterday that broke chests in more zones. :\

I don’t think I can test this myself as I had already done the towers in those zones before the hotfix yesterday. Can anyone else who has not visited the towers in Maguuma see if they are bugged open for them as well?

edit
I haven’t visited Bloodtide Coast or Sparkfly Fen yet, I’ll head to them today on Eredon Terrace to see if they are bugged for me. Zaxan, have you visited towers in those two Maguuma zones on Whiteside Ridge?

Due to the chests at the top of both towers in Queensdale being bugged, to where getting one will cause the other to also be gotten but without credit, as well as the same issue in Wayfarer Foothills, you will need two chests from towers in one additional zone.

So a total of 16 zones will be needed:

• 30 chests from 32 towers (due to the two bugged ones)
• 2 towers per zone
• 16 zones

There are only 13 Achievements listed for the Queen’s Jubilee and 16 are required to get completion. You probably did 5 Jubilee related daily achievements over the last few days that counted toward completing it, 2 of those would have taken the place of those two listed achievements.

So you kind of opted, without realizing, to complete the Jubilee Completion achievement by way of completing 5 dailies and 11 Jubilee achievements, instead of 3 dailies and 13 Jubilee achievements.

Does that sound like what has happened in your case?

Fibonacci.9170:

secondly, put a warning saying mailbox full pending mail.

Did my comment help resolve your problem? You’ve received your gem store goods?

Also, adding a “Mail waiting to be delivered” message to the mailbox has been suggested several times in the “Suggestions” area of this forum. Perhaps you could make a polite request there as well.

Firstly, the mailbox has a maximum limit of 10 mails. New mail, including gem store purchases, cannot be delivered when the mailbox is full.

Please delete some of your existing mail to open up space, thus allowing the gem store mail that contains your purchase to be delivered.

I don’t really see anything wrong with her in your pic.
Actually, now I’m disappointed that her face isn’t available to us in character creation!

Cody Crichton.7516:

In that case, since you haven’t got one, allow me to assure you that it’s indeed fixed.

I also recommend that you pick one up – if you’re at all musically inclined – ‘cause there’s a lot of fun songs to play. Cruise on by the audio discussion forums where there are gobs of songs that players have compiled with instructions on how to play them, and even some links to video demonstrations.

Thank you very much for the assurance. As I stated before, due to my not seeing it included in the recent patch notes, I was unsure of if the changes ended up being included with this update.

I frequently witness people playing their flutes quite spectacularly around the world. Whether it be a distant and pleasant “Fear Not This Night” or Star Wars’ “Imperial March”, people never cease to amaze me with their dedication and passion with which they learn, play and share some fantastic songs made with the instruments you have made available to them. I may just pick up and give the flute a try

Thank you again, Cody.

Behellagh.1468:

Also depends on Rob’s schooling. US English novels the ratio is like 30:1 while English in nonUS novels is like 8:1 between among and amongst. So having a commonwealth education or a teacher/professor that did would likely affect his choice of words.

But no, amongst isn’t a problem.

Now irregardless …

Or “reoccurring”.
Which, sadly, the forum does not identify that word as being spelled improperly.

I also agree with the usage outlined by Im Mudbone’s post.

There is already a massive [MERGED] thread on PAGE 1 of Game Bugs that you can’t have missed seeing and it even includes a response from a dev on the issue…

[Merged] Karma Spender

I did search the forum for such a thread before creating this one, but the search function returned no results. Sorry for making another thread about the same thing, it was not my intention.

Sadly, Forum “Search” has been broken for several months, so I can understand your not receiving any results from your searches.

Over-reporting of the same issue in dozens of threads to where page 1 of bugs are all basically reports of the same bug…well I suppose it just irked me momentarily that it was the 4th thread down on Page 1 and, despite mods attempting to consolidate the reports by merging them and it even having a red Dev Response Icon, it didn’t seem to help with preventing more from being made. I didn’t mean it as an attack on you, personally, it was a moment of irritation. Sorry if it came across as aggressive or rude.

Cody Crichton.7516:

I earnestly invite you to log in to the game and find out for yourself!

:D Thank you very kindly for your recommendation, Cody, though it was primarily a request from other players to verify that the functionality has been returned in this update as it was previously stated it would be as there was no mention in the recent Patch Notes of it being ‘fixed’. As I do not personally have a flute in the game, I was asking for verification from other players so as to then update my Tracker Thread where I am following bugs that are newly introduced as well as recently fixed. I wanted to move the Flute issue from still existing into the “fixed” portion to more accurately inform the thread readers of the status of the issue. Basically, it was follow up.

You are certain that they are not in your Bank’s Collectibles Tab listed at the very end of the crafting components area?

Has the flute been fixed with this game update to how the dev stated it would be?
Functionality returned?

It has been reported for several weeks now, but ArenaNet has not responded to the issue and it doesn’t look like there is a fix planned for it any time soon.

It is also noted in my Tracker thread here: Tracker – Living Story/Game Update Bugs

You must have the items in your bags, not in your bank, for them to be used in purchasing the items that require the watchwork sprockets. Bank is for storage, you have to have them on your person to use them.

I thought Hobo-Tron was pretty awesome

…but regarding continuity, any reason why Rox and Braham have no idea who I am anymore? It hasn’t been that long since I saw them last to have to reintroduce myself all over again.

Braham and Rox recognize me(see attachments) just fine.

Thanks for replying with your pics showing they recognize you. My results are most likely due to my being on a more recently created character at the time I talked to them, and they apparently don’t recognize all of our characters as being the same player. I find this odd, seeing that the achievements associated with Flame and Frost and Rox and Braham were all account-wide achievements, so not sure why they would recognize one character on my account and not another.
I’ll check back with them with a character I actually did F&F content with to see if their responses are different. I’m hopeful I’ll also hit up Hobo-Tron again, maybe dance with him.

It has nothing to do with which character you use. As I posted above, its a difference between the story instance and the uninstanced Pavilion area.

They recognize you when you’re in the story instance. They don’t recognize you when you’re in the non-instance. I have no idea why there’s a disconnect between the two.

Ah I see. You’re dead on with it. I didn’t realize Turtle’s pics were from within the instance, I didn’t look at it as closely as I should have.
I would think that interacting with them in the general non-instanced area, that they would query our achievements to see if we’ve taken part in content that involved them, so they would offer appropriate conversation content and options. Seems like that would be something that would have been in place already. Oh well, I guess.

Now, if Hobo-Tron would have this recognition it would be pretty awesome. He needs his own Living World quest content Maybe have us gathering things for him like replacement parts, oil or lubricant, maybe some stuff to ‘pimp’ him out a little I’d play that.

Of the several threads already pointing this issue out, I will state here that this eastern Queensdale tower is also bugged on Eredon Terrace server.

I had done West Tower, then East was bugged for me.
I believe that had I done East Tower first, then the West Tower would have been bugged.

I believe that both towers are being read by the game as being the same tower in regards to the chest.

I believe that, due to the changes they put in place for adjusting the intensity of effects, graphics were set to default or low values on most of the settings. I don’t think it was intentional, though they may have done this so players that were uninformed of this new effects option would then have to go to their graphics settings to correct them and then see this new Effects LOD setting. Might have just been their way of getting everyone to go to the graphics settings to inform them of this new setting.

I noticed something was wrong at first because, with my using the ‘small TP’ interface, I noticed that half of the fonts were invisible. Changing my graphics back to my normal settings allowed the fonts to display properly once again.

To clarify, you are depositing the sprockets from your bags to your collectibles, and when you go to your bank and view the collectibles tab, the sprockets you deposited do not show in the slot for the sprockets listed there in the crafting materials section?

Jugs only stack to 250.
Dragging your single jug onto a stack of 250 will cause the single jug to take the place of the stack, and the stack will be in the place where the single jug was in your inventory.

Is it possible that you simply swapped the item’s places? Double check your bags to see if the stack of 250 jugs is sitting in there.

At the new Crown Pavilion, the left arm of this large watchwork statue is actually entirely inside of the wall… It is made much more noticeable due to the fact that the nearby vista that presents you with the new area actually shows this statue in all of its improperly positioned glory when viewing the vista.

This entire thing is so very disappointing…

The other day when you bought the minipack, did you actually receive it in your mailbox?

One thing to check is to make sure you do not have too many messages in your mailbox, which has a maximum of 10 as the limit. New messages, even those containing Gem Store purchases, will not be delivered to you until you delete a few of the messages in your mailbox so it can then be delivered.

Does deleting some old messages from your mailbox allow your minis to be delivered?
