Guild Wars 2

LithePanther.5027:

Mods don’t answer here. If you want an Anet response go to a different section

It was a mod that moved it…

Still no answer getting tired of the lack of commnication.

Some players are reporting having loads of guild commedations already as much as 18…

Really wish they would explain resets and caps etc…

Mods please do not lock or merge this topic, so many have been asking this specific question.

When is Guild Mission weekly reset? Time and day/date if possible please, or is it 1 week after you last did one?

Please can we have this answered.

Thankyou.

patch notes? seems they messed up achevements some how…

Before patch I was on 4195 points, now im on 4125 points, I have lost 70 points.

So far these I have found bugged / lost.

I invite any dev to look at my account and see the difference in loot drops in fractals since the update.

Before I got anything from 2-10 rares per run, very rarely an exotic and sometimes essence or cores. I hardly ever got any blues or whites…

Now after update I always get a crap ton of whites and blues, almost no rares on most runs, no exotics, no cores, hardly anything except the occasional green, even from chests….

Something is not right…

Something has been changed. This has gone on for days now…same thing…no change from crap crap loot, I have never had this before the patch EVER.

Days, eh? This has been the game for many of us for nearly 3 months. I probably haven’t had many more than10 rare gear drop since the Nov 15th patch and only one exotic that I remember. I’ve never had a core or lodestone drop…ever, not one since I’ve been playing the game.

Yeah that’s messed up.

Vik Flagge.8324:

I’ve done 4 lvl 20 daily’s a day since the patch and have been asking since the first day when I got ZERO rares FROM THE CHESTS (I still get rares from mobs)(normally was getting 2-5 from chests average) if anyone else was experiencing similar trends. Answers have been resounding YES. It’s been all over overflow chat, map chat and guild chat. If you filter through the RNG trolls on this thread you will see that people have been coming to this forum specifically for this issue with the chest. Please stop trolling and do some research yourself. Thanks.

They definetly changed something I am and everyone I know who plays has said the exact same thing and all have noticed a change in chest and mob drops in fractals since patch aswell as ecto drops from salvaging rares.

We are not imagining it…

Also had a huge drop in ecto’s from salvaging rares, most of the time now, zero ecto’s….ever since patch.

Any update on this?

Im definetly seeing a decrease in rare and exotic drops in fractals and definetly seeing a decrease in ecto’s from salvaging..since the last patch…

It’s got to the point it is not even worth salvaging anymore or running fractals.

Vik Flagge.8324:

^^^^^ +10000

The players that remain would rather rant on these forums than actually play the game. It’s gotten that bad. It’s sad really to see such a great game dwindle down to nothing because of a horrid development team.

Even with the LFG site, fractals (which was one thing holding A LOT of people in this game) has because virtually unplayable. In their attempt to make them better and more playable they did the exact opposite. No one is willing to deal with pug groups that do not belong at high levels and the obvious loot nerf has turned the remaining people away. So sad.

+1000000 That is exactly what is happening, I guess Anet are not doing as good as they make out or making as much money as they hoped because the changes they are making are wrecking the game and only obvious answer is they need more people in the gem store and that’s why they are doing it.

Anyone know how long or what sort of stat types will be coming though?

I am one of the lucky one’s I managed to see this post before wasting 2000+ relics, 250+ ecto’s, 20+ pristine relics and more resources….I feel sorry for those that have already used them not knowing we were getting more stat types….I literally was about to make all my upgraded stuff when…

I feel this needs more awareness since alot of people could be blowing out thousands of relics and hundreds of ecto’s plus alot more and find out later they could of got the stats they wanted if they waited….

Here you go:

We do plan on adding more stat combo to existing ascended item types as well as adding more stat combos to new types.

~Izzy @-’—-

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Ascended-amulets-and-ascended-items-overall/page/4#post1342141

So we will get more ascended stats eventually….better late communicating than never I guess but sad its taken them months to finally tell us…

No idea when and what stats though….hopefully they will confirm and clarify.

Just started getting same issue here too.

Just did the event, killed her but did not get achievement.

Got the chest, got the event rewards but not the achievement.

Everyone else in my party got the achievement but it bugged for me or something..

Waited hours to get this event moving and started….not happy

So why does it say “fractal reward level"

Say im lvl 25 fractals and I do a lvl 10 daily fractal.

Am I suppose to get relic rewards at lvl 25 rates or lvl 10 rates?

I ask because on top right corner of screen it says “fractal reward level 25” but when I do level 10 fractal im not getting lvl 25 rewards, im getting lvl 10 rewards.

Is it a bug or just poor choice of words on arena nets part?

I don’t see how im getting lvl 25 rewards, coz im not, even the drops seem to be nerfed on fractals and been made harder so take longer…

Just did AC p1,2,3

Completed all of daily except gathering and crafting which takes all of 5 minutes.

TRON.1085:

Pugging is now pretty much impossible…

I don’t have the dev quote readily available, but I believe it was along the lines of…

Dungeons in Guild Wars 2 are designed for organized groups and/or guilds. Not pick-up groups.

So what there saying is dungeons have not been “ready” and the way they should be for 6 months…and now they punish players for it…

Even with an organised group the changes suck…

Pugging is now pretty much impossible…either you get players joining that should not be because of lack of agony or not even at that level…

Or you get kicked on last boss so players can get rewards for doing nothing…

You extended the time needed now for fractals by like an extra hour…

Nobody needs to even work for rewards because they just wait for a free slot at the end of a fractal or dungeon and just kick someone and jump in…

The chances of coming across a bad team with this new patch has gone up about 100%% of the time..

Doing dailys in dungeons and fractal’s has now become more painfull than stabbing yourself in the head with a blunt instrument….you end up sometimes wasting 2 hours for nothing in return..

Well done, you have managed to break the only decent group content you had and make it not even worth the time….dungeons and fractals..

This is even worse than lost shores, I have try’d really hard not to give up on Anet and GW2…but i think it’s time to admit defeat.

With this and diminshing returns aswell…they really don’t want us to play this game or have fun playing this game..

Typical Anet, instead of changing the way the skills work, they take the quick lazy option and just nerf the health of spirit weapons…making them worthless….

Guardian has been nerfed almost every patch since beta…5-6 months later and were still OP apparently, go figure…

Another 4 utility’s that are utter crap…

Not sure if it’s a bug or intended but a few of us noticed on hotw, coe, se and other dungeons that the mobs that usually give 10-20 silver are not giving any silver at all anymore…even some of the boss’s give no silver anymore…

We did this a few times and it really drops the amount of gold you make doing dungeons.

Is this a bug or Anet nerfed gold making in dungeons along with the rich ori ore node?

I really hope not…that was a huge source of income for those that don’t play the trading post wars 2….

Iv been asking this for months and still no reply…

Triforge is still worthless….

Cant have agony….can get free versions from laurels….

Waste of gold….as predicted..

alcopaul.2156:

I’m mad because people can now boot a pug in fractals and replace him with a guildie or a friend to get the final rewards, guardian spirit weapons are nerfed and you see kitten like +20% magic find.

A.NET is set to kitten off certain people I’m seeing.

Yep they have not thought this through at all…..

Maybe because we heard for years “when it’s ready”, then it was released and it wasn’t ready…

Now its “we’ll get to that eventually…honest..”….

Wait another 6 months for this game to be what it was suppose to? No thanks.

No knights ascended either….

Just pathetic.

20 days or pay 180+ gold for instant ascended amulet that can’t use agony…

I dont think they thought this through…

No knights either…..again…

DJSkittles.7196:

I mean really Arena Net, I had 5 of them done and than got booted out of game and it reset all of them, so I tried again and even though I was finishing and not getting credit, I kept grinding until i had only 2 left and than dailys reset, when that was the last thing I had to do…really this is some bs.

BTW, I have realized that it does not recognize any blast or leap finishers even if its for the last hit and kill (at least for my class, so were forced to work with 20% projectile finishers..)

Please fix this, I already got cheated out of my dungeon tokens during that roll back earlier this week, its starting to get irritating.

Same problem here is complete crap

First I got every daily done except combo’s because of combo’s we not registering, we did for over an hour over and over many different weapons and ways and nothing…

Completely bugged.

Second…server kept kicking us from maps and when we logg back in we would lose all of our achievements…..because the server rolled us back….

Will we get replacement for missing out on daily due to server and game issues?

ophidic.1279:

OK, I found this.
Interview with Guild Wars 2 Lead Designer Eric Flannum and Lore and Continuity Designer Jeff Grubb.

“Will be there any other kind of traveling across long distances apart from asura gates (e.g. ship)?”

Show Spoiler

hide spoiler

“Eric: Any of the major (non-capturable) waypoints that a player has unlocked can be travelled to regardless of the distance involved. Prices do vary depending on distance though, and asura gates are free, so a player might find it advantageous to use asura gates in some circumstances. Other than waypoints and asura gates, there will be no other methods of long distance travel such as mounts, ships, etc in Guild Wars 2 upon initial release.”

Ok so while it does not say NEVER explicitly, people are obviously getting their hopes WAY up, and also are deluding themselves into believing that a cosmetic toy is what they want based around technicality.

Sure, if you want be delusional, that’s fine, but don’t run around saying there’s mounts in GW2 because there is not. There is a toy which is part of a costume which is intended for messing around in town, and not at all used in any way which an actual mount would be used.

Actually that quote you posted just proves my point even more, thanks for that. There are mounts in GW2, the witch’s broom is a mount whether you want to admit it or not.

And as for the quote….they said specifically…….

“There will be no other methods of long distance travel such as mounts, ships, etc in Guild Wars 2 upon initial release.”

Leaving it completely open for anything in the future and currently, they specifically chose the words upon initial release because even then they were not 100% sure there will never be any mounts in gw2…

The witch’s broom is a mount, it’s possible we could see more mounts in gw2 in the future end of story…

Thanks for helping me clear that up

Guesting has restrictions and limitations for one and yes there are ways around the issue but those do not fix the issue….

I keep hearing “it will get fixed” but no source, no proof and alot of shut up and deal with it…

Warruz.8096:

I just dont know why fractals dont use the hub as the as the group up spot. You have a group you walk into fractals and then in the hub you set the lvl before starting. Rather the do it before you enter causing this debacle.

Exactly we don’t need overflow’s for other dungeon’s and all im looking for is a little communication to say “we are fixing it in the next update” " it will not be fixed in the next update but we are looking at it" or …

Not that difficult..

Rising Dusk.2408:

You don’t need an overflow once guesting goes live. If no one in your group is in an overflow, the rest of the group can guest to the server of one of the players, join the same LA instance, and play Fractals together.

Again I already covered this, it does not solve the issue, guesting is not a solution and its a terrible way of getting around this issue since it has limitations, also I have yet to even see a single source from anyone about them fixing this specific issue but people keep bringing it up….

Anet would need to fix it so overflow’s are not needed for fractals when playing with players from other servers. That would be fixing the issue that would be problem solved…Anything else is just a temp solution to a long term issue.

Any words from the dev’s on this issue? Will it be fixed with the new updates? A confirmation would be nice.

Namu.5712:

LFM fractals lvl 10 Need overflow

Problem solved.

Sorry but no it does not solve the issue.

Anet would need to fix it so overflow’s are not needed for fractals when playing with players from other servers.

That would be fixing the issue that would be problem solved…

Anything else is just a temp solution to a long term issue.

Death Reincarnated.3570:

Just looking at OP’s video.

It looks like the character image (i.e. cosmetics) has been changed only. Like you said, you don’t get any speed boosts using the broom. In theory that is still a mount lol.

The thing is, in gameplay practise, players acknowledge that mounts are objects that change the characters motion in some way. ANet may not add those kind of “mounts”, however, cosmetic based ones such as the broom or a flying carpet, still count as mounts.

Yeah its definetly a mount, people are in denial :P

They skip all the events in between and just tick the checklist running from A to B as quickly as possible…..that’s why you see 100% maps completionists in the first week of launch, they skipped almost 90% of the game content. Alot of players do not hang around the maps they just burn through the checklist.

I have not been focusing on completing it, just playing the game, fractals, dungeons, sometimes do some jumping puzzles and exploration WvW.

Im on about 70% map completion with over 1100 hours on my main character.

When I do a map this is what I do.

1. Spend 1-2 days on that map as a minimum
2. Find and complete every single dynamic event on that map and dynamic event chain
3. I follow every single npc and read / listen to all voice dialogue and text
4. Explore all the off the map stuff, hidden events and jumping puzzle
5. Double check iv done every single little thing, found every single hidden thing and then move onto the next map and do the same thing again.

Its a very slow way of doing it but im a completionist and want to experience every single part of the game.

Also I have found quite a few hidden cool things that some did not seem to know about because they do not follow the npc’s or read or listen to the dialogue like hidden merchants that only appear after a hidden event chain, hidden lore, hidden dynamic boss events that are not on the map, hidden guild wars 1 stuff.

There is so much more to this game than just getting 100% map completion as quickly as possible and just skipping all the events and content…

Not saying everyone has done this, just saying alot of players have. I do admit the way I play is extremely slow way of map completion, but that is not my entire goal. I want to see all of the game has to offer, not just run through a checklist like a drone running from A to B.

Some of the hidden dialogue and hidden events are pretty funny too with some good npc characters and banter, some of the hidden merchants give specific usefull items you can not get anywhere else in the game, and some of the events have older gw1 npc’s in them with gw1 lore.

Is really worth bothering to do every single event in an area and then stay in that area for a few days to see how the events trigger, how the events chain off and on and what happens to the npc’s after every single event.

Get alot more exploration out of the game that way instead of burning to get 100% of map.

FateZero.8536:

Go gw2lfg. If you’re on the US, filter EU lfg. Vice versa for EU players. Join their party, which will place you in overflow because you can’t join their server. Type “oops, sorry. I’m from <US>/<EU>. Joined wrong party. Good luck.”, leave party and that’s it! You’re in overflow.

P.S.: Feels like I’m teaching something not right here.

I had heard something like this was possible but was not sure how it worked, ty for that will give it a try in the future.

Does not solve the problem but will do for now.

why should the players have to guest and use up there guest choices everytime they want to play fractals with someone and there is no overflows….

Anet need to take a look at this and fix it so that we can play fractals without overflows like we can with normal dungeons.

Xenth.2408:

The problem is that you have to enter as a whole party from the same instance. If there’s no overflows you can’t rely on gw2lfg.

Changing the system so that a party can enter any level up to the highest level available to any party member will help because it will be easier to form a group from your server’s population alone.

But, in addition to that, I thought I read somewhere that they were working on a fix to disconnects as well – so that people would be able to rejoin the party in fotm. I’m wondering if the fix will be to make fotm like any other dungeon which would mean you don’t have to be in the same instance to enter it in the first place.

Of course this “fix” would cause a lot of other problems – the biggest being griefing with the current kick system. I could see two people planning from the beginning to get into a group then kick everyone else at Jade Maw so that they could either sell the party slots or just to get their buddies/guildies in for the chest/bonus chest.

I’d never do that but I know there are people that would.

Thankyou finally someone who gets it and bothers to read the OP and previous posts, the rest of you im not going to repeat again what has already been covered and shown to be not fixing the issue….kittens…

Selo.1250:

but….i thougth all servers were “brimming”

Its not a population problem….

Out of the servers primetime late night or early morning daytime there is never any overflows in lions arch usually.

I wish people would bother to read the OP and previous posts before replying….jeez…

The problem is overflow’s are needed when grouping for fractals with players from other servers, its not a population problem it happens when any server is not in it’s primetime like late night or early morning / daytime, making it impossible to play fractal content not through lacking of getting players…

You can get 5 players at that time of night or day, the problem is none of those players can play with each other due to not having an overflow, making it impossible to play together.

Kromica.2831:

Your best bet is the lfg website if you can’t find people on there when you want to run an overflow wont help either

Again does not solve the issue im talking about, and I do use that gw2lfg website….

Supersun.4603:

There’s a good chance that guesting will “fix” that.

Just set one of your guest servers to be a near max population server.

That will not solve the issue, im on a high populated server, it’s when its not that servers primetime it becomes an issue either late night or early morning / day time there is no overflow in lions arch.

That will not solve the issue.

Scootabuser.4915:

This problem will be fixed with the fractal update. It has to do with how they designed and coded fractals.

Are you sure? Do you have a source? Can we get confirmation from dev plz?

Afaik they only fixing disconnects we will still require overflow’s to group up with players on other servers for fractals, which is a pretty big flaw.

Agree 100%, giant fractal ending was perfect example of what the game should be like for immersion.

ophidic.1279:

TRON.1085:

Guess what? Its still a mount

Only to the misinformed.

Its still a mount, its a witch’s broom and I ride it, it’s a mount, if it looked like a creature we would be in agreement, just because its a stick does not mean its any less of a mount….

“Ride Broom 7 Jump on your broom and ride around. "

There is on wiki….you ride it…its a mount….

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Enchanted_Broom

Anyone know how to get around needing an overflow for fractals in lions arch?

Sometimes at late night or very early morning time even on high populated servers there is no chance of getting an overflow in lions arch for fractals.

Making it impossible to get a group together or play the content.

Anyone know a way around this? We don’t need overflows to play normal dungeons so why they make it so we need them for fractals?

Seems silly? Will this be fixed?

What is classified as a mount?

The witch’s Broom is a mount.

Nuff sed.

Guess what? Its still a mount

Thereon.3495:

(cries inside due to the ease of GW2)

Dont get me wrong, im not blaming anyone here but this is probably the main reason behind me having second thoughts on buying an expansion. I hope that in the future they release more content based around actual skill and items that show this otherwise GW2 will, for me (opinion here!), be a very watered down MMO experience.

yeah I hope so too, they made this game far too easy at launch, hope they don’t do that with expansions.
