Having a disability and the new dailies

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Tachyon.5897

I feel your frustration OP. I only have the use of one hand, so it’s jumping puzzles that are the bane of my gaming experience rather than open world play.

Top 5 things Anet got wrong

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

1. The notion that removing the ‘holy trinity’ would make for a fun gaming experience and wouldn’t result in anything other than a stand there and hit ‘1’ DPS zergfest at 10fps.

2. That kittening infernal broken camera system that causes it to zoom in and out on random pieces of the environment if you get too close and the idea that such a camera system was conducive to a game with so many jumping puzzle. I mean, did they not kittening test this kitten out before release?

3. The Living Story.

4. Stacks only being 250 and having to pay to increase this. Stacks should’ve been10,000 from the very start.

5. The lack of two handed great axes.

These new dailies, and the latest LS instalments for that matter, make a mockery of the much vaunted “Guild Wars 2: Play Your Way” mantra.

I’m posting this on behalf of my girlfriend. She wan’s to know how she can do today’s three PvE dailies when one is to do events in Frostgorge Sound and she doesn’t have a character of higher enough level to survive in that map?

Flesh Golem just standing still

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

For whatever reason my Necro’s Flesh Golem doesn’t want to get involved in the fighting and during every battle it just decides to stand there watching from afar. What’s the point in having an Elite skill that doesn’t work?

Is there a fix for this, or is this another of those ‘working as intended’ things?

I want to play *my own* characters

Playing as Caithe was awesome. MORE OF THIS!
No game EVER should do cutscenes to everything. Learn to play people.

I can play the game as one of my own characters that I created perfectly fine, none of them are a Thief though. For one simple reason, you try to play as a Thief when you only have the use of one hand. It’s nigh on impossible!

Whatever happened to the ‘Play the way you want to play’ mantra?

I want to play *my own* characters

Tachyon.5897

I have seven characters, not one is a thief. Why? Well because I can’t stand the gameplay mechanics of that profession. Now I’m being forced to play as a thief and cannot get past that kittening stealth part in ‘Meeting the Asura’. I’ve being trying since day one, and still can’t get through it.

It doesn’t help that the LFG is broken too.

Guild Bank bugged

Is there any news on this getting fixed in the foreseeable future? I need to empty my main character’s personal storage into the bank before I can start on the new LS instalment.

Getting the same here. Everything in Guild Bank is greyed out and there’s a red exclamation mark at the top. This is across all Guild Banks, including my own Guild where I have full permissions.

anet's idea of a labyrinth

Also, The Labyrinth is a map where game’s broken camera system can be shown to great effect. I was nearly sick as the camera kept on constantly zooming in and out on random pieces of the scenery.

I'm out.

You want to try the last two LS instalments when you only have the use of one hand. It’s an absolute nightmare.

Final fights were overtuned and unenjoyable

in Living World

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

Hidden Arcana is very twitch. If you’re good at twitch, you’ll have no issues. If you can’t, e.g. due to a physical disability, you’re up the creek without a paddle. Personally, I do not like all the dodging, and if I do it too often, it causes me physical pain. So yeah, bit of a failure there from my point of view. This should be a story, not a way to show how hardcore you are.

Tell me about it, I only have the use of one hand so it’s frustrating as hell.

I’ve been stuck at the Malevolent Memory in Hidden Arcana for over a week now. It’s a pain in the rear just getting that far, but to constantly keep failing and having to start over a gain is a joke. It’s got to the point now where I’m seriously considering just deleting the game from my computer.

Minis hidden on empty maps

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

This was in the patch notes. If you volunteer to move to a more populated map, you get a couple of bonuses; movement speed by 15% (in PvE only), karma gain by 5%, and experience from kills by 10% for 10 minutes.

It’s strictly so they can reduce the number of maps in use at any one time, which frees up CPU & Memory resources for other stuff.

You’ll probably see this most often on maps that have World Bosses that spawn on them – You get 500+ people all decending onto one boss which opens up multiple (overflow) maps, then when the boss is over the maps empty out except for a couple of people who decide to stay (on that map).. So then you have 3, 4, or more maps with just 2 or 3 people each one them.

see the chat log

Shrug.. Sounds like a bug. Stop the presses.

It’s not a bug. Check out the Customer Support Thread at the top of the forum. ANet themselves say it’s working as intended.

Miniatures Have Been Hidden...

Well, apparently this is normal and working as intended. From the mouth of ANet in the customer support thread

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Customer-Support-9-9-Feature-Build

I can’t see my mini-pets, when I activate one all I get is “Miniatures have been hidden due to rising player population”. That’s across all characters in a myriad different locations.

This is a feature that is working as intended. If you have feedback regarding the feature, I would recommend creating or joining in a thread to discuss your thoughts about it.

Will they be offering any refunds for those who paid money/gems for minis but now can’t use them?

I still die just running down a normal hill… a bug that’s been in the game since…. TOO LONG.

Yeah well, I can slay huge ancient dragons but for some reason I can’t run up a slight incline without sliding back down. Then there’s those pesky steps, no more than 1’ high but they stop my hulking great Norn warrior in his tracks.

Suggestion: player camera improvements

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

I’ll take anything that fixes the broken camera that causes it to bounce of objects and constantly zoom in and out on jumping puzzles. It makes some of the game inaccessible for my large Norn warrior, see jumping puzzles and anything that require intricate jumping, as you can’t see anything but a closely zoomed in wall/object.

It’s the same for indoors combat too, anything where you have to fight in a confined space is an absolute nightmare.

Weapon and Armor clipping normal?

Tachyon.5897

Weapons clipping through the floor is another major pain too. Take my Norn warrior for example, he carries dual-swords and both clip through the floor when walking/running.

Why can they not be carried crossed on his back?

Not a bug per se, but more of an annoyance.

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

I don’t know if this is the correct place for this.

Is there any chance of having an tickbox implemented within the in-game settings options panel that enables us to switch off the tool-tips that pop-up whenever your cursor hovers over a skill in the skillbar? I game at 1920×1080 and with the UI set to small and some of them, especially the ones that are a chain attack, still cover up a large portion of the screen. At times it really gets in the way of gameplay.

I seriously hope a member of the GW2 team reads this and puts it forward.

Thanks.

Disabling skill bar mouse-overs.

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

Sometimes, take the thief’s dagger skill #1 for example, the skill pop-ups take up a great portion of the screen when you move your mouse over them. It would be nice to have the option of disabling them via the options menu. They really are distracting at times.

Achievments fail after after 'A Sweet Friend'

in Blood and Madness

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

So, I’ve done the ‘A Sweet Friend’ achievement and I have my little Candy Corn Elemental miniature but how the hell do I do the other achievements to get the Candy Corn Node in my home instance? Dulfy.net says I should get an email after gaining the miniature, but I didn’t. I got sweet FA. In game it says I need to see Tassi in the Reliquary in Black Citadel. Where the hell is that? I can’t see it anywhere on my map

I really want the node, so any ideas?

Target next enemy is targetting non-enemies.

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

There you are in the middle of a battle, you hit TAB to target next enemy and all it does it target the closest group of, let’s say Moas for this example, (which are yellows and not red, ergo not enemies). So surely if the description is ‘Target next ENEMY’. it should be targeting enemies and not aggroing others creatures.

15,000 Candy Corn for a 20 Slot Box

in Blood and Madness

Posted by: Tachyon.5897

Tachyon.5897

I saw on Dulfy that the 3 weapon Gift of *, needs 10 Corn Cobs and 100 of one of the other (i.e. 100 Gibbering Skulls). That means 10.000 Corns and 100.000 chattering skulls… it’s plain stupid… it’s nearly impossible to get 1k chattering skulls alone… but 100k ???

Not to mention that 100,000 equates to 400 stacks. I wonder how many people have 400 spare storage slots to store all this stuff?

It has nothing to do personally with your account. They send out thousands, or hundreds of thousands (or more), of fake emails to email addresses that are in various lists. Your email address is in one or more of those lists.

All of that is very true, but seeing as I only use the address for Guild Wars how did it get onto one of these lists in the first place? I know I didn’t give it to ‘em, so that only leaves ANet and if that’s the case then, as I’m in the UK, the Data Protection Act has been breached.
