Guild Wars 2

Some people are kittens OP, it’s a sad fact of life. (READ: I’m not trying to say the guy did nothing wrong.)

But if you really want to PvP now and then you should know the block feature is pretty useful for trash like this; especially if you have anxiety issues or anything like that just block the worthless scum and keep playing.

In case you don’t know, to block someone (meaning you will no longer see their messages and they cannot contact you in-game) right click the name in chat and select ‘Block’.

Log fall damage. Don’t we all want to clearly, reliably know (without timing that screenshot juuuuusssst right) how much damage we took when falling from the top to the bottom of Rata Sum? xD

Malkavian.4516:

While I do understand where you are coming from with this, I don’t think it’s gonna work. My reason for it is this: showing the numbers, while it will help in making the game more well-known will also just add more fuel to flame wars amongst MMO fanboys which is the last thing I want to see.

Then avoid the more toxic general discussion forums (I would count it as a blessing that I can’t put some names to that epithet :P ) that tend to discuss MMOs and such…Granted, I suppose it’s unlikely that you’ll never see something cringe-inducing along those lines but I think I do a good job of avoiding typical stupid trollbait bullkitten along the lines of “HURRR Gaem X is dead/sucks/blah blah blah” most days.

Anet should announce active player numbers

How do you define what constitutes an active player?

Indeed, that is something for the relevant experts at ANet to decide. :>

What is it then? Something developed in-house?

Well that sucks…has it always been like that? Kinda surprised, having 350ish (individual) fractals done now and this is my 1st time seeing this. Guess any full wipes before have been before the death laser lol…

So I’m just out of a Lv9 fractal run now. We got Solid Ocean as boss fractal, so that was a nice roll. However, what was not so nice was that towards the end we were wiping and the last of us went down to the Maw’s big death laser because we didn’t get crystals in time. We all respawned. We jumped down back towards the end of the fractal once more, only to be greeted tauntingly with “Kill the Jade Maw” flashing on our screens once more as we got closer…and sure enough it seemed like the Maw had respawned at FULL health! Everything was as it was in the beginning; Irukandji floating about, only 2 tentacles present. Thankfully we survived pretty well the second time AND we finished the run for real and got the chest. Please fix this weird bug. :p

Yes, I was just going to post a thread on this if one wasn’t already here…to reiterate and for clarity: Both first birthday and second birthday exp. scroll are account bound but will not stack together. Skill point scroll is indeed soulbound.

Also, I have 7/8 professions on my account now and this scroll puts me at 3 scrolls total… I am not the kind of person to want to create and level more than one char of each profession sooo 2 of these scrolls are useless to me. Any chance of letting us trade them for something half-decent Anet? :/ Unless a new profession pops up suddenly (which I doubt will happen in feature pack, not that I mind) they’re just gonna collect dust in my bank.

How about copyrighted music streamed through a legal and paid service?

IE: SPotify, Wimp, Itunes

No copyrighted music that doesn’t belong to ArenaNet. Doesn’t matter how you acquired/streamed it.

Ahh…the demons of copyright, always ruining things.

Might be worth mentioning here…I got a different error code from a similar situation, albeit trying to start Foefire Cleansing LW story instance. Error code was 7:0:0:793:101

Decided to do a tracert to this aforementioned problem IP address…similar results as what’s been previously posted I think.

I submitted a support ticket about this already but anyway…last night I had a lot of trouble trying to log in to areas where guildies where running gmissions, which leads me to believe , at the least in my case, the amount of ppl in the zone is a factor. As another person mentioned I also had a few similar frozen load screen issues when playing GW1…
Just a few minutes ago I had this problem again when trying to get to Southsun.
My girlfriend has been having these issues too, maybe less than me. She is same ISP, same country as me.

If someone can tell me what I should run a traceroute to then I can provide the output.

- Update IE

Whaaaaat….why do you rely on garbage for the TP? :|

Would it really have been so hard to make a custom “barebones” browser for it or simply use just use HttpRequests and such in code to retrieve data and then do what you will with it, all the while still using a separate process as the current TP does.

Really though, I’m just curious as why you’re using IE for it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP5luP2G_kitten

eep in mind you can no longer see that and it was taken out of the game. Also, Devs commenting on Zhaitan implied that Arah EXP was supposed to have Zhaitan’s presence in some form or another and they identify that corpse as “A dragon” not “The Zhaitan”. So there were a lot of plans but quite a bit was stripped which isn’t uncommon, that’s how DLCs come about actually. What we can infer is that they wanted to do more but made a conscious decision to step on the breaks.

Well, I didn’t intend for my post to be taken super seriously…but really? o.o
That “dragon” looks pretty Zhaitanish to me; Zhaitan was pretty unique in that it had those snakelike tendrils and kitten…and you can make some of those out in that video.

I bought this skin from the vendor and it didn’t unlock for my account. Nor does it have an option to store in wardrobe.
Since it’s bound on acquire, it should auto-unlock, right?

Dual.8953:

I just want to point this out. You can get Zephyrite Skills in the storymode JP. What you’ve gotta do is go back to the Wind Crystal Kasmeer dropped, if you touch it multiple times you can stack up to 1:30 of the Aspect buff. I find simply jumping up and down on the crystal is the fastest way to do this. After you cap out the buff, make your way to the JP, it should only take 3 jumps. When you get there you’ll have 7 available jumps and just over a minute to do them all. (Not as tight of a time crunch as it sounds)

Praise the kittening gods.

Even with this apparently being possible I’m still making the post I came here to make: (Let’s assume you couldn’t stack the crystal buff)
Remove the stupid kittening artificial difficulty. Learning where/how to jump in this mess is one thing but messing up just ever so slightly at the bottom and getting stuck in this kitten able bamboo-spaghetti is beyond a joke. You’re just frustrating players and coming across as a sadistic designer, if we are to assume it was supposed to be exactly like this (I’d like to keep a shred of hope that it wasn’t).

Also, if you people in Anet are reading this right now, if you actually banked on players using the crystal for it in the instance, though somehow I doubt that, could you not make it clearer that we should use that? Like, maybe have one crystal at the bottom of the puzzle in the instance at the very least?

Gaile Gray.6029:

We try to use 11:59 PM instead of Midnight because there is a lot of confusion about whether “Midnight” is the last minute of the old day, or the first minute of the new day. As you can see, the date was late night (11:59 PM or 23:59) Pacific time on 29 June.

Well, every (standard) digital clock these days, e.g on your desktop PC/laptop, etc, treats midnight as the first minute of the new day. I would think that’s more reliable than any arguments people may have had throughout the ages. :p

So I was doing a bit of soloQ last night and as per usual not having much of interest to do before the match kicked off I was just checking (out of curiosity) account names of the players in the match.
But, I noticed for one of the guys on my team I couldn’t see their acc name (screenshot attached), even when I opened the player report window. o.o

Is this some strange bug? If a dev wants to contact me about it or somethin, I can gladly provide the character name of the player in question,

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I am not sure that ‘unknown’ only means they haven’t logged in since the last patch, as I have people in my guild that show they are in the Tower of Nightmares. Obviously, they haven’t logged in in quite some time.

I don’t know if they ever fixed it, but people who have/were logged into Guild Wars (One) also showed up as unknown on the Guild list.

Really? I thought that stuff on the wiki talk page was just a joke.

Karizee.8076:

Unknown on your guild roster would indicate they have not logged in since the last patch (the last one was on April 1st), not appearing on the AP leaderboard may or may not indicate anything (there was some recent bugginess with the AP leaderboard and guilds).

Yeah, I know the leaderboards have been far from perfect (as regards working as expected), from sometimes struggling to load larger guild pages to not showing correct time zone on my desktop but managing on my laptop… I haven’t checked thoroughly back and forth between the game and leaderboard for all the members but it does seem suspicious that just 2 (at the least) people are not appearing on the page.

So, I have heard that if guild window says a player is at location “unknown” they haven’t played in a long time. But I’m wondering about something more. I just kicked a few inactives a while ago and I noticed something odd; there is at least 1 remaining person in my guild that is at unknown location but also does not appear on my guild page of the AP leaderboard. So what I would like to know is, is my assumption that the fact that they do not show on AP leaderboard means they have not logged in since before leaderboard came online correct?

The Ice Mage.4879:

Ok, so I live in Ireland, and I want to get a decent gaming laptop which will be able to run GW2 pretty well on more or less max graphics settings, even in “hectic” in game situations. Although, I suppose I’d be hard pressed getting it going pretty well on max even in the hectic situations…so if that’s not quite plausible given my budget I understand. Yes, I know there are issues in the game code that cause things such as having a super powerful gfx card not mattering so much due to how the game code is.

Anyway, I’ve been looking on a custom pc build site and I have a page saved of something I thought looked nice:

http://www.custompc.ie/msi-ms-1492-14-with-nvidia-2gb-gtx760m-133931-p.asp

I had selected these extra/custom options:
RAM – 8GB
Hard Disk 1 – 120GB SSD
Hard Disk 2 – 500GB HDD

How does that look for running GW2? If you find something better on the site feel free to suggest to me by linking here, but I would say my absolute limit on the cost would be ~€1250.

I’ve spent 1200€ on a laptop 3 years ago and it can max GW2 at a cool 20~25 fps so you can get it unless prices in Ireland are ridiculous (sorry didn’t check your link).

You’ll need an i7, and a cooling board, I have an aluminium one with 3 fans I can’t remember the brand but you definitely will wanna get something like it, cost about ~60€.
Lastly for God sake don’t play on battery, don’t even have it on if you can have it plugged regardless of what you year, 3 years later I can still get 4 hours off my battery because it’s almost never on the laptop and that’s the best way to prevent decay.

I take it by cooling board you are talking about those stand/cradle things that you rest your laptop on to cool it?
And yea, the initial laptop I was looking at on custompc.ie has an i7 processor, and Nvdia GTX760M graphics card. I think I might go with that after all and try to get my hands on a decent cooler.

Each to their own I guess, but I pretty much never delete chars, unless I’ve been doing a key run.

The Ice Mage.4879:

Ok, so I live in Ireland,[…]

I appreciate all suggestions of course but keep this in mind.

Unless I have grossly misunderstood, this “ibuypower” seems to refuse to ship anywhere outside the USA besides Canada…and while I’m not ruling it out as an option altogether I am a bit miffed that xoticpc seem to want to be awkward for international orders and only accept wire transfers (never done such a thing afaik….but I guess if I have to it won’t be anything too complicated).

Spudfuzz.6185:

Also highly recommend not getting an alienware laptop. I have one I bought 2 years ago and it’s a piece of crap. What’s hilariously sad is they even advertised GW2 on it but it barely plays. My boyfriend tried to optimize it multiple times, it was advertised to do some things it never does thanks to bugs and has massive problems with overheating despite the fan sounding like a beast. I have to have some form of external cooling like sitting it on a covered ice pack or a fan going just so it can maintain running GW2 at extremely low FPS rates.

Any event will get me kicked out almost immediately because it cannot handle the game period. My boyfriend built his desktop PC custom 5 years ago and it runs the game smoother than a baby’s bottom, even in big events. I agree with Chaotic, Alienware is a brand, not a gaming pc.

What Alienware laptop exactly? Could you give a least some of the specs?

Update: I had indeed heard of Alienware before so I googled just now and I found laptops listed on dell.ie. I’m actually quite liking the Alienware 14 laptop. If I’m reading it right it seems including delivery I’d be looking at about €1280 for it. That should be doable…it’s just my situation is my parents pretty much said they’d give me €1000 towards a laptop or w/e for my birthday but I also already got a smartphone since my old phone died so that has left me with about €750 I believe. I can likely manage to get the rest of the money together out of my own bank account, but when posting ofc I had to draw a line somewhere and say “well I don’t really wanna go over this” because I don’t want to spend a massive amount of money in addition to what I have from my parents.

Yea, the fan is certainly important….wish they had that info on the bloody page I linked :/ Oh well, I shall need to look into this more tomorrow and such.

Mystic.5934:

HD has zero impact on performance.

Yes, I know. I just feel like I’d like some extra space.

Yea…I realise laptops aren’t really gonna be as good as high end desktop PCs, and yea I could settle for medium settings I guess. Ideally in the not too distant future I would like to get a gaming PC but now is not the time for that. But how does what I linked look? Should it handle GW2 on “medium” fairly well?

As for the RAM, I just like having decent “multitasking potential” I guess you could say. I nearly always have a browser open when playing and often enough end up having many tabs open. Sometimes other programs too like an IDE for looking at code, although of course if I was highly focused on doing that I might be more likely to log out of GW2 altogether, but yea.

Nate Anabe.6091:

got this in firefox ver 28.0

Eww that’s awful…seems fixed for me now (guess it was an issue kind of on Anet’s side huh?) But seriously, it was only pretty much stuff above and below it that was broken for me; the actual leaderboard looked fine.

Possibly all leaderboards stuff in fact. I like to run the dev release channel versions of Chrome heh, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an issue there that’s causing this but just wondering if anyone else has been getting this. Basically no matter how many times I reload the mentioned pages, they appear in that kind of broken, no CSS loaded way. Not sure if that’s the correct way to put it; while I have decent programming exp. I still don’t have a lot of web development exp. but I do know more or less what HTML and CSS are.
To clarify, I mean parts of the page that should load as text coloured a certain way in a certain part of the page (e.g. how it shows the links “Game”, “Media”, etc on top which are showing fine on the forum for me) are just being thrown on the page as bland little blue hyperlinks.

My Chrome version is 35.0.1912.2 dev-m and I tested in FireFox 27.0.1 and there seemed to be no problems.
Also, just for the sake of trying, I cleared my cache in Chrome but that changed nothing.

Why is this still a question?

Because lack of clear official information. If someone in Anet reads my post here… please guys consider this: when you are in a Living World update cycle, whenever there is something such as tokens like the heirlooms introduced that are likely not permanent, give us clear (spoiler-free!) info on when we should use them by and such. Not necessarily the day the update goes live, but at the very latest a few days before the next LW build.

I know as people mentioned the rule of thumb based on LW season 1 is that most start of month releases run through the end of the month in tandem with the month’s second release but really, if you could just improve on this aspect of dev-to-community communication it would be great.

Honestly, the easiest way to do this is already implemented ingame. Just add a downtimer to the Living World Achievement tab.

That could indeed help for some things, but of course other stuff like the heirlooms isn’t exactly tied to the achievements, and as you saw with this release, now you can no longer do Escape from LA achievements but heirlooms are still available. Honestly, I didn’t think they were very likely to disappear, but still not knowing for sure kinda sucks.

Well, to be technically correct it would be upgrading to noninfused item first and then that to infused if you want.
As for your situation I’m not 100% sure but I think you should be able to. I don’t think selecting the stats counts as transmutation.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

I don’t understand why you would save these… This happens pretty much every patch… yet every patch people are surprised. You should always use up the limited time items/rewards before the end of the patch cycle.

I can’t speak for everyone, obviously, but for the record I kinda was planning on using them up before current LW update went live. However, a combination of things including tiredness, sickness and being a little busy with RL stuff at different times stopped me from getting to do it. When I came to make this thread, it was because well, I knew the update was coming the next day…and I had heard hearsay here and there about the lair sticking around and wanted confirmation.

I feel a little bad almost tbh about you people saying you deleted the cyphers once you discovered chests couldn’t be opened…but really you should keep in mind in future that if some issue like this arises again (let’s hope not! :p) do not delete things like these without solid confirmation that they have become truly useless/worthless forever.

Astral Projections.7320:

Why is this making you say goodbye to your guild? Surely they aren’t angry with you because you were hacked. Or is it some other reason.

I figure they mean something to the effect of “Well, if I can’t get some degree of my former account status (pre-hack) back then I won’t be continuing to play”.

Thank you…I kept hearing about confirmation that it would be but never saw any proof. And last night I was in no mood or state to do google search after google search to try and find it seeing as I was up all hours trying to get Marionette dodger done but hey, I got it at last!!

When Escape from LA goes live, will Scarlet’s Secret Lair still be accessible (at the least on a char that has already been there)…?
Please let it be so.

Claw Island should get reworked and become part of a new explorable map, the Sea of Sorrows-Map..

TheUltimateBackStabber.4863:

A year ago ArenaNet released the patch with the Karka attack on Lion’s Arch.
When the Karka’s attacked LA the game was unplayable, lagfest, crashes, skill lag…

Please, don’t let that happen again.

Q. Anyone thinks that the history repeats itself?

Well for one thing as people have said since the karka invasion of LA there have been various improvements in the game on the technical side of things.
For one, the removal of culling in favor of the current system which lets you still see at least nameplates of players/enemies but at the same time doing all that stuff like only loading placeholder models for some players and such when there are too many around.

Also more recently, one of the LW updates included changes that I believe made detail of visual effects (for attacks) scale down better in zergish situations.

I’m sure there are probably quite a few things (big and small) that could use some improvement to provide a smoother experience but perhaps with any luck if nothing else, by the time their feature-only update after the end of Scarlet LS comes around we might see more technical improvements. Time wil tell I suppose.

Apologies if this is not the best place to post this but here goes anyhoo.

I was wondering, is there a way currently to retrieve player Achievement Point scores from the leaderboard? I was just thinking it’d be cool to be able to retrieve player’s scores. I had been playing around trying to make a little Java GUI that would take in data of some kind about, for example, my score and generate a graph but I had problems trying to get stuff for drawing functions working and I’ve been a bit busy with other things so haven’t dedicated more time to resolving the issue yet…
But either way getting back on topic, having a way to retrieve achievement point totals would be nice IMO.

Mystic.5934:

hehehehehehehe makes me want these easy titles even more. also makes me want both of them just to take a screen shot and have it look like a duplicate.

Good luck capping SM 25,000 times then. :P

Xista.7391:

Why would Anet ever do this. Weren’t they going to reduce the magnitude of the WvW achievements anyways?

They should be unique titles. If I see an Ultimate Liberator in-game one day, I’d like to know he spends a crap ton of time in EB. Not grinding out objectives in EotM.

Agreed, two achievements giving the same title is silly.
Could you guys (in Anet) give some input, feedback, etc on this when you are able to please?

Something I would like to know:

• Was this intentional or a mistake? If somehow intentional can the titles please be made unique again?

What chest? WvW rank up chests?

l sorry just trying to lighten the mood </P>

What? Admittedly I’m a bit tired atm, but really I don’t see the joke assuming it was one. o.o Who was this directed at, or was it kinda just an undirected comment so to speak?

Random posts make the world go round, thats the best part of the forums.

I don’t think it was a random jibe. The semicolon is required at the end of C/C++ source code statements. Forgetting to include one is a common error and I suspect he’s just comically pointing it out … although of course leaving out a semicolon usually means you don’t get past the compiler.

Lol, oh that makes sense. I was actually discussing this w/ an old in-game friend now haha…I’m in third year of a games dev course and on cooperative placement now. I did think it might be programming stuff when I was talking with my friend. Indeed a lot of languages use semicolon to terminate statements Java & PHP to name but two unmentioned.

Back On Topic~
Glad to see EotM didn’t take long to come online after the update. Unfortunately I can’t really play much more right now but at least I had a look through a good bit of the story content.

<p>REMEMBER YOU NEED TO USE THE Semicolon ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

l sorry just trying to lighten the mood </P>

What? Admittedly I’m a bit tired atm, but really I don’t see the joke assuming it was one. o.o Who was this directed at, or was it kinda just an undirected comment so to speak?

Hey all. I know you’ve all seen the new build, but the team hasn’t opened up the map just yet. I will update here when it’s been opened up. Just a little more patience, please

Nope, open it now. Pl0x!! :P

Leave the forums… just leave… please to save everyone the trouble of having to read this.

I would like to be optimistic and say they were being a mite sarcastic. The :P kinda gives it away.

Obviously this isn’t a huge concern given what it involves but just said I’d throw it out there anyway for you guys at ANET.

I see one of the EotM achievements is called Some Say It’s Your Specialty. It gives the title “Ultimate Liberator” on completing final tier. But in theory (or even in reality looking into the future) this is a problem because King of the Castle the old WvW achievement for capping SM allegedly gives the same title on full completion. Mind you, that’s 25k captures of SM hence why I said in theory. xD

I don’t imagine very much constructive discussion could be to add to this thread unless I missed some terribly subtle yet relevant detail so can I just say as an open statement: Keep your trolling, whining, general negativity/toxicity to yourself people. :p Have a good day, and if you’re playing GW2 enjoy EotM and/or whatever you want to do!

Is invulnerability considered as a dodge or not ? With mesmer, i used distortion to"evade"
At the end, success but not rewarded by achievment dodge. (I took 0 damage)

Not sure on invuln….but you don’t even need to get and “evaded” message from like actually dodging it. Theoretically one could just stay out of the marionette AOE all the time and still get it on success but of course…things generally aren’t so smooth in practice for some of the fights at least.

Seriously though I think it’s kittening awful that the achievements depend on ALL platforms winning. .

Example scenario: Say I fight Warden Regulator III. 3 platforms including mine finish while the 2 remaining fail. I dodge all the marionette attacks. I deserve the achievement quagdarnit! :P

Let me ask you this ANET…while the event is somewhat rewarding through the Cyphers, I’m sure some people (myself excluded) won’t care to do the fight much after they get all achievements. So, that said, did you consider the potential difficulty spike in getting these achievements as time goes on compounded by factors of struggling to get to your own server map possibly and due to loss of interest by some people causing overflows to be less than stellar more often than not?

I know it’s kind of common sense that achievements (requiring something beyond your own actions) will typically be acquired more easily when they first come out because all the avid players that care about them will want to get a kick start on them, but I still think it’s just very very bad forcing the need for ALL FIVE platforms to succeed or else kitten all matters.
