Restore Deleted Store Items

Personally, I believe most Gem Store items should be Account Unlocks and always should have been. And with Achievement Skins now being presented to us as account unlocks of unlimited supply for withdrawal, it seems even less sensible for Gem Store skins to not also take on this behavior.

Obviously not all gem store purchases should be infinite supply, but any armor/weapon skins, towns clothes, or specialty items like flutes should be unlocked for your account. Perhaps the gem store skin/item unlocks could be added into the Achievements Account Unlocks area just as the Achievement Skin unlocks are, or even to the Hall of Monuments Account Heritage Unlock Vendor.

Did you acquire this/these tonic(s) during the Halloween event?
Or did you purchase them from the trading post?
Or did you craft them yourself?

What are the names of the tonics you are attempting to deposit?

Deposit Collectable and Trading Post Crash

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

This crash happens anytime any item that you are currently at the sell screen for is no longer in your bag when you then hit the “Sell” button.

Initiate sale of an item
Deposit, destroy, move item to bank
Hit “Sell” button
Crash
Presented with a report to send to Anet on the error.

It was not always like this. Previously, clicking the sell button after the item was no longer in your bag would result in the sell button turning gray and nothing would happen. Now it crashes the game.

I only know this because I’m a curious person and like to test out different scenarios just to see what would happen…just as anyone on the QA Team should be doing. I sometimes wonder if anyone on their Quality Assurance/Testing team has ever done real beta testing for any game (actual beta testing to find bugs/exploits, not just to play the game early).

Minis needs to be not auto depositable.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

I don’t mind it. Sometimes I carry a couple and if I need to free up a few bag slots I can send them to my bank without having to go there. It would be nice if they didn’t have to be reactivated when changing maps but I don’t mind it too much. I’m usually not dragging around a mini when I’m out roaming around on my own anyway. I typically use them in cities.

Now what I would like is if they kept up with my characters. If I’m moving any bit of distance I turn around and they are half a map away.

Very much agree with you on this. Why bother having a mini out if it is only by your side (or anywhere within visual range) after standing still for 10-15 seconds for it to catch up to you only to be left in the dust when you start moving again.

Zoning despawning my mini doesn’t even bother me that much as even when it is spawned, it is never anywhere near me anyway. Having a mini out is almost no different from not even having a mini in the first place unless you are standing in a city or are a-f-k.

Also, I sell everything I get in my bags anyway, so I don’t even use the deposit collectibles option. I loot stuff, my bags start to get full, I take 10-20min to TP everything (listing them properly), sell off junk to a merchant and then go on my way again. Repeat.

they removed it from dailies and map completion since the changed the name from fine transmutation stones to transmutation crystal

It is still a rare drop for daily completion.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fine_Transmutation_Stone

Acquisition

  • Gem Store
  • Black Lion Chest (Unlocked)
  • Daily Achievement (Rare)

I’ve never had to purchase any Fine Stones. I’ve played since the game came out and have gone through dozens of them for transmuting 80 gear and I still have a few left in my bank.

It isn’t a one or the other kind of situation regarding their dropping. I’ve gotten support tokens and kite fortunes in the same brown chest. I’ve also gotten support tokens and crappy rare armor from a single brown chest. The support tokens do not replace another drop.

My opinion on the vote for Evon.

-snip-

Another point is the Pirates Council has no Charr on the council. Having a Charr on the council could help with Human and Charr relations (Which is ALWAYS a good thing).

-snip-

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Captain's_Council

Yes, there is a charr on the Council.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Captain_Farth_Scarclaw

3 human, 2 asura, 1 charr, 1 norn and no sylvari.
Previously it was 4-2-1-1-0 until Ashford, a human, was assassinated.

Evon would make it 3-2-2-1-0

China release trailer

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

the “Our Time is Now” trailer was the strangest video I’ve ever seen from any gaming company. I thought it was a joke until the last few seconds of the video lol

I thought it was a support to “Occupy Wallstreet” at first haha

I see your strangest claim and up you one Japanese zelda commercial

Very few videos have caused my mouth to just hang open in utter confusion at what I was seeing. This is now counted among them.

China release trailer

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

I demand, I kittening demand english dubbing for china trailer.

This is what can happen when English is translated into Chinese and then back into English:

Caithe: A line have beened distorted by the dark world. We must go out, we must be everywhere in search of. Our dichotomy opens the combat!

Zojja: Resemble the last time? Worry to lose is to lead to the evil augury.

Caithe: He big in nothing important in big elephant. I hope these dreamses really can’t become.

Logan: Giving first aid the already disheveled hair projection. Only guarantee my cuckoldry the safety.

Rytlock: Smelly boy. The geography that I stands compares you superior. You this time ran do not, Drop.

Logan: See again drag along the see again!

Rytlock: Kiss too loudly.

Caithe: Only have a little bit the immodesty we all lose.

Zojja: Do not want. The front is a lemon avenue flying straightly.

Eir: I can’t walk last with you, you a road for running about. This is really too stick. The wish power are together with you.

(For those who may not be aware of it, all these lines are from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith as translated into Chinese with English subtitles translated from the Chinese. For more, look up ‘backstroke of the west’.)

That gave me such a great laugh. Thank you for that.

Also
When this thread first showed up (when the OP accidentally made two duplicate postings of this thread) I almost posted first saying: “So that’s what Guild Wars 2 looks like. I’ve been playing the wrong game for 11 months!” It seems others have the same thoughts regarding the actual game and that video. We knew what we were getting when GW2 came out and we got what what was presented to us; it’s gorgeous and I’m pretty happy with it. But I feel sorry for the peoples of China being presented with this piece of misrepresenting/deceptive advertising. What they’re being shown is a completely different game.

Aetherblade Heavy Gloves Missing Dye Panel

For others, in that linked thread the norn images were just a few posts up from that one:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Post-a-pic-of-your-character-only-if-your-armor-is-mix-n-match/page/14#post2471236

In addition to your charr, the Heavy Aetherblade Gauntlets on my asura also do not have the ability to change the color of the glowing blue area.

Seems to be yet another “go human, or go home” situation, as armor for non-human gets the short end of the stick once again.

Hellfire Warhelm

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

I think that the preview for the hellfire helm just doesn’t display it properly. Expect your ears to be chopped off while wearing the actual helmet in-game.

I become more and more disgusted at the lack of effort put into armor items with each picture I see of charr and asura. Why even offer races with non-human features if you’re just going to ignore them when designing armor by removing them completely or just letting them clip right through?

Charr:

  • Horns – chopped off
  • Ears – chopped off
  • No holes for tails (some armor are designed around the tail, we know you can do it Anet, stop being lazy)
  • Foreclaws removed sometimes, other times they simply poke through the boot
  • Front claws simply poke through the boot (charr don’t even wear boots, give them a belt instead)
  • Identical appearance for male and female – Citing different sexually arousing areas of anatomy with their species than humans is just a lazy excuse to save having to make an alternate version. “They don’t have bulbous breasts, no need to offer them a different design for females”

Asura:

  • Ears – chopped off
  • Side toes – chopped off/crammed into the boot (some boots are designed around the toes, we know you can do it Anet, stop being lazy)
  • Identical appearance for male and female – Citing different sexually arousing areas of anatomy with their species than humans is just a lazy excuse to save having to make an alternate version. “They don’t have bulbous breasts, no need to offer them a different design for females”

I had a charr…once.
The above mentioned lack of any kind of attention given to non-human, species specific armor design led to my not having one anymore, sadly.

I have an asura…
Having my ears chopped off by any kind of helmet and them being replaced with bright red discs that I can still see is not my idea of non-human, species specific armor of a level of quality expected from a “professional” AAA game studio.

This will not end well.
I don’t know how this political storyline was even green-lighted to be implemented, let alone who decided on the ‘campaign promises’ that were the worst they could have possibly selected as well as assigned to which candidate. This single event has highlighted several of the most heated subjects amongst passionate players as the prime aspects of this release…and not in a good way.

  • It has turned a massive spotlight onto the argument against the persistent implementation of RNG boxes. One argument is that a vote for Evon is a vote for continued and increased RNG box implementation, as it is seen as an opportunity for players to voice their acceptance and approval for its continued use with the Black Lion Key discount.
  • They’ve pitted a human against a charr, and worse, a human female against a charr male. This has put the passionate role-players into a frenzy. Apart from the dynamics of politics in lore for humans and charr generally not meshing well, they’ve now given a prime opening for speciesism to introduce itself. Due to Ashford’s assassination, the Captain’s Council now consists of 3 humans, 2 asura, 1 norn, and 1 charr (no Sylvari at all?). Some players feel that this election is a good opportunity to take a step toward further balancing the representations of the species of Tyria on the Council by filling Ashford’s position with a charr instead of yet another human. A vote for Kiel is seen as a vote against charr and of increasing human domination of the Council. It is also an opening for the all too real gender discrimination issue, especially in relation to a role of power, to rear its ugly face in the game world.
  • Hot on the tail (no charr pun intended) of those elements is the overwhelming hatred for Trahearne and the aspect of NPC story characters taking all of the credit for our actions. Just as he is seen by the majority of players as doing nothing but stealing the glory that was meant for us, the players, that view has now been tacked directly onto Kiel. The painting of Kiel as being Trahearne 2.0 (or Kormir 3.0 to some), that despite her actions (or lack of actions) during these events, as well as after, her receiving all of the credit and glory just as Trahearne did during our Personal Story has placed her in a very poor light in many players’ minds. This brings to the forefront a lot of the sour feelings players have regarding the Personal Story and of feeling cheated. So, one argument is that a vote for Kiel is the approval from players of ArenaNet continuing to have characters that reap all of the credit and glory from our actions.
  • It has pitted the telling of the “New” (Thaumanova Reactor) against the telling of the “Old” (Fall of Abaddon). They’ve essentially made it a debate of GW1 Lore Vs. GW2 Lore and which is more important, especially since there seems to be many players with strong emotions tied to GW1 who believe GW2 has changed and strayed too far from GW1. So they have also made it a fight between those who enjoy GW2 for what it is and will become, and those who wish GW2 was just GW1 with better graphics. Thus making it into a vote for Evon as being a vote for “Established Lore/GW1”, and a vote for Kiel as being a vote for “New Ideas/GW2”.

Pro-RNG VS Anti-RNG
Charr VS Human
Male VS Female
Evon VS Kiel/Trahearne 2.0
Abaddon VS Reactor
GW1 VS GW2

All of this will end very, very badly for many players and for ArenaNet. Many players have such strong feelings toward some of these issues that there may be a portion of the playerbase that are so dissatisfied with the outcome of this election, regardless of who wins, that they actually quit playing due to how it might sour the game and it won’t be fun for them anymore.

Even still, there are the “Temporary Content VS Permanent Content” aspects of this event and many others I’ve not touched onto here, as well as the “Bugs Fixed VS Bugs Created” aspect of more frequent Living Story updates.

I just cannot believe that someone at ArenaNet thought any of this would be a good idea for events, let alone all of them at the same time in the same event. This reeks of being a horrible idea in all possible ways. Unless you want to risk losing your job, your customers, your friends, or a few teeth, it is just accepted that you do not involve two subjects for discussion: Religion and Politics.

Not to put down the seriousness of all the aspects I’ve mention, as they are all of a pretty serious nature for the future of the game, but anyone want some popcorn?

I’ve noticed quite an increase in kite fortunes and vote tokens with +30% food buff on. Also, since I use the +30% zhaitaffy food buff that only lasts for 20min, I keep forgetting to eat some more. So when it runs out and I’m running around killing stuff without the MF on, it is my noticing that I’m not really getting any kites/tokens that reminds me to eat some more food, which then start dropping again.

Just ask yourselves if you really want to elect a fancy cat with a lead designer in his pocket. We’ll just have double up our support for Kiel on SATURDAY.

Brought to you by the people against smelly animals in office.

At first I thought this was going to be an unbiased thread given the title and that it was created by a dev. As the OP of this thread shows, it is actually a dev-created thread to promote Evon Gnashblade…which confuses me as there is not a comparable dev-created pro-Kiel thread.

I request that you make your post in its own dev-created, pro-Kiel thread instead of as a sub-comment on a dev-created pro-Evon thread to give the fight for Kiel even footing in this forum.

Cant change Traits

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

You need to have spent at least 1 trait point, it sounds like you reset your traits back to 0 already, so it won’t give that option again until you spend at least 1 point. It doesn’t check your gold, but it does check to see if you’ve spent at least 1 trait point before displaying that dialogue option. If you can, post a screenshot of your traits screen.

Thank you, Jeffrey, for clarifying what determines if that option is offered to a player as I wasn’t too sure on the coin aspect of determination. Glad to know you can’t accidentally pay for a trait reset that you do not need because your traits are already reset.

MOUSE ATTACK BOTTON STOPPED ATTACKING

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

Are you saying that you now have to hit the Weapon Skill #1 every single attack?
Where previously it would auto-attack by pressing it once.

A skill has a yellowish, arrowed border when Auto-Attack is enabled on that skill.
Perhaps you accidentally disabled auto-attack on your #1 skill, or you accidentally switched it to a different skill since only one skill can be designated as your auto-attack at a time.

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.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Auto-attack

Was this what was causing the problem?

Sorry, in my original post I was incorrect as I was blending the requirements for two different achievements. Sorry for that. I removed it.

Is this correct?
All tiers must be done in successive order. You cannot join someone else who is already on tier 2, 3 or 4 and get credit; you must start from 1 and progress through to tier 4 for each tier to count toward the achievement?

'Kiel every day' achievement not working

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

They need to borrow from the monthlies that have done this and word it similar to “complete your daily category while representing _”. This should eliminate the initial reaction to assume it’s merely the completion of one of the various achievements that will count towards the daily’s required five (PvE) or 4 (PvP).

Changing the wording to completing your daily achievement by fulfilling daily categories while representing would be a great idea. That would definitely solve any of the confusion that their current wording is causing.

Though I don’t believe you need to be representing at the time you complete four of the categories, only that you must be representing at the time you complete your fifth which grants completion of the Daily Achievement.

'Kiel every day' achievement not working

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

The five “achievements” you complete for the Daily Achievement are actually “Tasks”.

The five “achievements” you complete for your Daily Achievement are actually “Tasks” to complete the Daily Achievement.

Complete 5 tasks to earn your Daily Achievement.
They are a means to an end; that end being the actual Daily Achievement and chest. These individual tasks just so happen to also grant achievement points, but are not, themselves, actual achievements.

Request: Desert Rose Glow like Fervid Censer

in Suggestions

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

The Fervid Censer has a warm, radiant glow of a yellowish hue, while the Desert Rose has no such glow. The Desert Rose lacking this very pleasing aspect to the back item causes it to look rather bland (in my opinion).

I request that the Desert Rose be given the same warm, radiant glow as the Fervid Censer, but of a reddish hue please.

Thank you for your consideration.

Party and fractal/dungeon bugs...

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

Worked our way round it last time it happened.

So basically

1) we disbanded the party
2) then one person entered FoTM
3) then they invited one of the original members to the party
4) the new member entered the invitees FoTM
5) repeat steps 3 to 4 until all party members are in

NOTE: make sure each member has entered before you invite the next one

We still got screwed later when a member crashed and could not get back in but meh, hope it helps ya

1) Are you in EU playing on NA servers?
1) Appreciate the guide tho can you type it again with a better English (no offense, but just read your part 4)?
Thanks.

I think he is stating that one person goes into fractals, invites another person. Once that 2nd person joins in, then the 2nd person invites the 3rd. The 3rd then should invite the 4th once they are in, and that they then invite the next. So each new person in the party takes on the responsibility to invite the next one, instead of one person inviting all of them one at a time.

1st goes to fractals, invites 2nd to party
2nd joins party, goes to fractals
2nd invites 3rd
3rd joins party, goes to fractals
3rd invites 4th
4th joins party, goes to fractals
4th invites 5th
5th joins party, goes to fractals
Play

Can't join dungeons.

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

Bug threads on this issue haven’t gotten responses, support or a fix, but a post in the Technical Support forum last night got a response in less than an hour. I requested the dev that responded there to instead look into the dozens of threads over many weeks on this ongoing issue in this Bugs forums. I don’t anticipate the Party and Unable To Enter Fractal/Dungeon bugs to be resolved any time soon, unfortunately.

TP bug; Restarting not working

Sorry that I couldn’t actually offer you a way to fix it without going the Support route. I despise “file a ticket” as being an answer to a problem and I do not wish Support interaction on anyone if it is not necessary. But I think it is the only way with this issue. :\

Fractals party bug

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

Ms. Segovia, there are many dozens of threads outlining party issues in the “Bugs” forums section that many players are experiencing and have been for quite some time. Perhaps looking into those will give more details on the matter as they seem very much related. I know I’ve long since stopped even attempting to join parties or take part in content requiring parties due to them not working properly at all.

TP bug; Restarting not working

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

I had this issue a very long time ago and was required to file a support ticket to get it resolved as it only affects some people. Some have just waited it out and after a week or so it was back to working, but I suggest filing a support ticket as it may actually help with getting your TP working again quicker.

Sylvari makeover kit bug fixed yet?

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

Finally found the thread on Page 64 after searching each and every Bugs page due to the Forum Search being busted for almost 2 months now.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Total-Make-over-Kit-Sylvari-Glow-Merged

Basically, some reported that, having used a kit and lost their glow, that ArenaNet might have done something behind-the-scenes as their glow returned, though others mentioned still being without glow after using the kit a while ago.

Also, some reported that ‘old’ kits did not offer a slider to adjust the glow, and ‘new’ kits do offer the slider to adjust glow. That if you had one of the ‘old’ kits then the slider option was not offered and would have been set to a default low/off value, thus losing your glow. That the ‘new’ kits (like your new one) do include a slider for the glow value so you shouldn’t lose your glow. Many of them were a bit peeved that they would need to purchase a new kit in order to have the glow slider option to ensure they keep their glow.

I’m not sure what the current status on the whole thing is.
I would say, open the kit and see if there is a slider for adjusting your glow brightness. if there is, then you should be just fine. If there is not a glow slider, then I don’t recommend using it or risk losing your glow and then have to hit up Support about it.

I hope this helps you.

-edit
Well, apparently even the ‘old’ kits had a glow slider, but no matter what you set it at, it would save at ‘0’ value, or something. I don’t think they know what the issue was/is.

I honestly don’t know what to say other than give it a try, but have a support ticket ready to be filed. Though, if you do lose your glow and have to file a ticket, I don’t know if they’ll be able to help as it was an achievement reward total makeover kit, and was not bought with gems…so there are no gems to refund. It’s a pretty crappy situation, and with the history of “support” and their being stingy with refunds/replacements…I don’t expect it should end well.
Or, you could be just fine and your glow won’t be lost.

I wish you luck.

I don’t think there is a forward-backward animation on the Greatsword and Dagger weapons. Only the one-handed sword has that animation.

"Leave instance button" bug

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

I noticed this as well today. The lowest item listed in your recently acquired loot now covers the Exit Instance button (and reward chests) where previously the lowest item would sit above where the Exit Instance button is located.

Also, completed achievements now cover up the Exit Instance button (and reward chests) as well.

I wish the looted items in that list would disappear when clicked just as completed achievements disappear (I believe) when they are clicked instead of having to wait up to a whole minute (or more if you looted a lot) for them to eventually ‘drop off’ from being displayed so you can finally exit the instance.

Name not changing after transmuting new stats

That is not entirely correct, Trinn. Missing a few details in your assessment.

Pixelpumpkin made a good bug report on this. She outlines the logic behind how the naming is intended to work, but that it actually is bugged and does not work as it should.

Someone actually leveled a character up into the 30’s or 40’s I believe (no scroll usage) and it never left the tutorial zone They posted about it here not long ago. It was pretty funny.

Cant change Traits

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: StinVec.3621

StinVec.3621

Which trainer in which zone were you at that did not give you the reset traits option? Might just be a bug at that trainer as your class trainer should always offer a Reset Traits option.

As to why your class trainer would not offer it as an option (if it’s not a bug), I can only think that you do not have enough coin on your character to pay for one, so the option isn’t offered to you (similar to if you can’t afford to repair then the repair npc won’t offer you the repair option).

Check to make sure you have at least a couple silver on your character and try again.
Otherwise, right outside Divinity’s Reach and slightly down the hill from the entrance there is a Trait Reset NPC that only resets traits. Can head to him instead if you would like. There are also more Class Trainers there near the TP guys in Shaemoor Village a few steps from the Trait Reset NPC and you can try your class trainer down there instead of a class trainer in a city.

Not many do know that this actually is a bug, and that there is a workaround for it :\ Spread awareness
Hopefully this bug is what was causing your rune to not proc after a downed state so you at least know how to get it to work again quickly, instead of there being a different issue of there actually being a busted rune mechanic :\
