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.
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?
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?
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 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.
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.
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.
You want to try the last two LS instalments when you only have the use of one hand. It’s an absolute nightmare.
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.
It’s always empty whenever I log-in. Can’t get the majority of the achievements because of this.
I’m not. I can’t get any of the Labyrinth achievements as whenever I log-on it’s empty.
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.

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.
…but according to ANet it’s worked as intended.
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?
And just how amazing it truly, truly is.
Really shovelling on the sarcasm. Love it.
I don’t want my male characters running around in their pants. I’d much prefer armoured legs.
Still not showing. Still getting that same message.
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.
You can see your own minipet. You won’t see other peoples. I seen my mini pet every time this message popped up.
Er no, I’m afraid you can’t. I’ve tried this across all my characters and not once did my mini-pet display.
The bugged TAB button for ‘Target Next Enemy’ really irks me. Hit it and it doesn’t just target an enemy, but locks onto a friendly yellow instead.
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.
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.
Does anyone know how to get the Laurel Hint? I’ve got well over 400 Laurels, have spent a bucket load of Laurels on items at a variety of different laurel Vendors and still the Hint doesn’t show as done.
Any ideas?
What game client are you using? (Windows / Mac) – Windows 7 64-bit.
What are your current graphics settings? – Everything maxxed out.
Are you playing in full screen or windowed mode? – Fullscreen.
Is your inventory full or maxed out? – Not full or maxed out.
Do you play with bags displayed or hidden? – Hidden.
No matter what I do the rock pile will not yield the crown fragment. All I keep getting is “This is an ordinary rock-pile” Leave?
This is the first one in Diessa.

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?
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.
It’s not armour, even naked with no armour her night-time glow doesn’t work after the patch. As for graphics settings, nothing has changed. They’re all still at maximum.
My Sylvari’s night-time glow doesn’t appear since this latest update. I took ages getting her colours just right.
It was a gift, now you’re charging us to use said gift? Surely this has to be a bug.
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.
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?
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.
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?
Same happening here too, ANet should refund us the key pieces we’ve used.
Any further information on when this will be fixed? It’s absolutely ruining the immersive atmosphere of the game. Come on, get it fixed.
Still happening, they should really suspend Waypoint Fees until they get this fixed.
I’ve been asking about this since the TP was first released. I can’t read the text half the time in the TP due to this bug. Come on ANet, get your fingers out and fix it please.
Getting the same here. Bloody typical too, just wanted to get an hour’s play in before work.

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.

Now I now it’s an obvious phishing attempt,and am pretty clued up on these things but I’m more concerned about just how they got my email address. An address that I only use for Guild Wars.
Having the same problem here too. Desolation (EU).
I can log-in to my account, but on the splash screen the news feed won’t load. I can access the character select page but when I click play I get the “The game can’t connect to the the log-in servers” message with an error 42 code followed by a white screen and then back to the log-in screen.
Still can’t log-in! C’mon ANet, any idea as to how much longer this is going to go on for?
Just could log in, now same as the others: displays email rather than name as account name in character screen…
hope whatever this is, it going to be fixed soon ’cause I understand anyone who is frustated now.
Hope you can log in soon
Really? If that’s the case, then ANet have just breached the Data Protection Act. I wouldn’t be too happy about that if it was me.
Can’t log in here, Server: Desolation, EU.
