Guild Wars 2

@Nirvana, no update yet, and the only way for a good answer is contacting them through support, but when it comes to fixes and updates support tends to be hush hush about that incase they promise something that doesnt come true, or decide not to fix it.

@Ryu, that could be an idea, but i’d still prefer no minutes over 10 minutes. But thanks for agreeing that it definitly needs a fix. I remember i was excited too, i activated the tonic and noticed it said double click to deactivate and i wanted to test it, then i noticed the 25 minute timer and was like the heck?

^
I wouldnt mind wvw either, im sure tho people will complain and cry and say the tonic was the reason they got killed, so im guessing thats why they arent in pvp.

Nothing yet, really hope it gets fixed and these ideas, and other peoples ideas get thought into fixing it.

@Aspirine, yep and even on the website that gives the info about the event says afterwards you can use the infinite tonic anytime, 5 minutes and 25 minute cooldown isnt any time.

@Colly, i wouldnt mind that, i guess the only problem would be ability to hide armor, and i guess players would complain saying the other player had a advantage over him (aka the person lost and is QQing)

@Cotheer, he didnt say what he said the complexity of the issue and the time makes it unaware, but that really just means he probly cant say too much info because if it ended up a lie he could get introuble.

@Asastia, he said they are aware of the tonic issue and are adressing it, and told me to watch for future updates. Your choice if you think this is a troll or not i just want my favorite tonic fixed because of it being combat, and i know how charrs and norn are when it comes to jumping puzzles and cramped areas.

@Nirvana, i do worry that too, dont want them fixing it and its like 5 minute transform and 20 minute cooldown or something bleh like that.

@Kiri, agreed the 30 minutes are just pointless nobody likes waiting this shouldnt be a waiting game.

It doesnt work in pvp anyway.

I really like this tonic, finally one that you can use in combat. However the 5 minutes of fun with 25 minutes of waiting ruins it. I have been told arenanet is aware of the problem and are planning on fixing it. If i could give my suggestion on how to fix it.

I do not believe the tonic should have a cooldown, on the clockwork chaos page it says “Once you complete the Clockwork Chaos meta achievement, you’ll receive a tonic that allows you to transform into a Watchknight at any time.” A cooldown makes that sentence invalid because with a cooldown you can’t do it any time.

I do not believe it should last 5 minutes with or without a cooldown. Constantly clicking every 5 minutes can become a nuissance, alot of people just threw their tonic in their bank, i’m sure you guys spent some nice hard work getting that tonic made so something like that should not be wasted. “Double click to transform into a watchknight, double click again to end the transformation” That’s how the potion should be, to activate it drink it, to deactivate it drink it. If we must have a transformation logo, it should be 1 hour not 5 minutes.

This tonic has much purpose, unique fun of being a robot, Charrs and Norn can do jumping puzzles much easier (minus the 25 minute wait which is a good reason why no cooldowns should happen), and it’s a unique tonic, but with cooldowns and 5 minutes its just something people find a waste of time, and space.

Thanks.

Mmhmm, alot of people put it in their bank. Still nothing yet but hopefully fixes soon, and hopefully no cooldown or very very small cooldown and longer transformation.

Eh doesn’t matter about the wiki or not.

Long as arenanet the tonic fixed, and preferably soon i like being a different unique form and still have combat for once. And hopefully they make it permanent, no timer, no cooldown, just a fun cosmetic you can use whenever. Charrs and Norn will especially appreciate it.

Support told me they are aware of it and are fixing it, watch for future updates and forums they added

She said after that because you wont be happy soon, basically enjoy your victory because you wont have another one

^
Just because the wiki added that info doesnt mean a fix won’t happen, ive seen a few errors before on the wiki that were changed after a build update.

We will just need to be patient, and pray that it’ll last forever and no cooldowns at all.

They have a decent chance of dropping from the bags, i got mine no matter how meh they look.

^
But that defeats the fun of the item. Its a constant 5 minutes of fun, 30 minutes of inventory waste space, thus players leaving it in their bank and arenanet wasted time on the tonic.

It should be permanent, for the sake of fun.

Maybe, but that would just make people use it every 5 minutes, would just be better to do how the tonic states double click to use, double click to end.

I’ll put on this forum if i get a response from him, i asked him if the fix will make it permanent, even though he may not be able to say i tried.

^
He told me he wanted a screenshot of the tonic, the 30 minute countdown, and the message saying you cant use it right now. What he did not tell me is what the fix is going to be but that is probly because employees cant do that because if something different was made from what he would/could have told me he could get introuble.

Maybe, but he did not mention that or not, im guessing he can’t say incase anet changes their mind on anything he’d promise, hope so though.

This is how i think the fix should be.

I do not believe the tonic should have a cooldown, on the clockwork chaos page it says “Once you complete the Clockwork Chaos meta achievement, you’ll receive a tonic that allows you to transform into a Watchknight at any time.” A cooldown makes that sentence invalid because with a cooldown you can’t do it any time

Lord Faren is Batman. He is wealthy and fell down a dark hole. Fits the profile to the letter.

Judging by his speedo, he is a man who likes tight clothing, definitly batman material.

They are aware and fixing it, then we can be fembots forever woo.

Contacted support about the issue and he told me they are aware of the problem and are going to fix it, and to watch for future updates.

Hopefully not too long of await but it’ll be fixed eventually, and hopefully get rid of timer permanently. It says on the update that we can use it anytime, with any cooldown you cant use it anytime.

Yay for fembots

Hmm the culling could be a possibility, still odd how around the time when i got it it was right after a build update, and others recieved one too around the same time.

But since people are focusing on the name part instead of the other one too im gonna end this.

This is getting odd, a few people ingame reported getting a 72 hour ban.

Myself included got one yesterday kicked on the final wave, and another forum poster here says he got one too (at the exact time i did)

I’m wondering if there is a glitch going on. I already contacted support but still nothing.

I had to change my characters name and my character is now considered innapropriate if you try picking the name i had, which is bizaare.

I did mine on 2 different alts, however the one where u get the portal items i think needs to be character only, all 4 of mine were soulbound.

I think i was their, was in gendarrin fields?

I saw her hp on the event info top right was empty, then her hp was at like 50% and when she almost died i got dced

My idea: We all wake up in the super adventure box from a horrible nightmare of enduring no point stories.

Lord faren should have ripped off his clothes to the speedo he wore in southsun when he tried saving jennah.

I do like the idea.

However if you go in overflow, and there is no event then you didnt make it on time, every overflow can do the invasion but after 10 minutes or so it gets locked away from other overflows that dont have the events going on.

If they werent in rng boxes and werent tradeable theyd be cool.

After an event is done and fully done. (scarlets minions)

Stops champ farmers wasting time.

Stops kitten commanders who have no idea what they are doing for making people stay with them wasting time.

Makes people move to a different event.

Thoughts?

I loved psychopaths, always my favorite characters. However her i do not like she’s just too obvious.

Hehe i will capture you queen!

Woops i failed, okay umm i make your toys evil hahaha!

Only way i think people could like her is because she’s voiced by tara strong, while she is an amazing voice actor she also voices a purple horse on the most overatted show ever.

I always love the psychopath characters, but i hate her, because she appears and people fight her without waiting til the very end when she’s actually killable.

I was kicked off for “72 hours for an offensive name” while i was doing the new event.

I never got a warning, nor do i find my name offensive, but i was pretty shocked, i went on forums in the account issue section and some dude said he just recieved a 72 hour name ban. I find it odd that he recieved one in the same few minutes i did.

Just making this thread as a warning, becareful this update might be causing you to get a ban without warning possibly a glitch, or players troll reporting you.

^
Nope, i was doing the new update events, and it said your account is banned for 72 hours. And seeing as the same thing happened to him at the same time sounds like a glitch.

Wait try logging on now, it let me back on

Omg so it wasnt just me? Good i hope it is an unfortunate glitch. I recieved the same thing too saying im banned for 72 hours for my name.

You had fun on light up the darkness? People hardly have fun on the regular achievment if you really did have fun on the light up darkness you’d have to be the kind of person that loves pure torture.

Wierd, all i got was nonstop waypoint trips from non revivers, told i have no skill and should play dark souls yet i beat dark souls 4 times, map chat spam flooded with ragers, complainers, and people bragging about winning, all in all, jubilee was fun, wallet was great, gauntlet was great til liadri then just boring.

So they take out immoblize because of that, yet they keep the fact that warriors can zergroll anything.

Chopps.5047:

BrunoBRS.5178:

liadri is as much RNG based as megaman bosses.

Dude if this game was half as hard as classic mega man, can you imagine the forum complaints?

If this game was as hard as dark souls, people would die alot, but have fun and learn from their mistakes.

Maybe how the living story will end, we all wake up in super adventure box, and all of it was just a horrible nightmare dream :O

I consider the gauntlet a challenge good job anet!

I do not consider liadri a challenge.

Take away the bubble walls, fix the camera, remove the glitches, change the location/interface, and how minor lag ruins everything and remove the time limit (for certain professions its a problem) and facerolling liadri would be a snap.

Entropy is proof necros and hammers would be perfect together.

And the same for occult flame

What i really want to know is if they will still let you get the mini, i dont care about minis but i feel bad for the collectors out there.

Auesis.7301:

You can’t reason with people. Every player from every level of skill must be able to complete all content with no fuss and no hassle, otherwise it’s GG Anet.

Oh, how I wish I could afford to buy everyone here a copy of Dark Souls so they could man up.

I beat dark souls 4 times, and each time you beat it on new game+ it gets harder, only difference from dark souls and this game it didnt force you to fight a broken boss inside a bubble, with 1 shots and lag your argument is invalid.

Chomper and Struger took me forever, he would spam meat constantly right near the dog, and the profession i had couldnt do anything to stop it, hopped on a different profession killed it super fast. Profession favoring mmhmm.

Liadri i just can’t kill.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Queen’s Gauntlet will return, possibly as part of the activity rotation or even other events. In any case, you’ll be able to complete those achievements at a later date.

Do we still get a chance at a mini? I don’t really care about minis but alot of people are mini collectors. I’d feel bad if they cant get it.

Sell it, its dropping dropping dropping dropping, started at like 300g i think, now look where its at, wouldnt be suprised if it ends up 10g.

September 3rd i think was the day.

I want to level up an engy, even though engys are a horrible profession (yes engys you are bad) when they give engys hammers in the future (they are giving new weps to professions) i hope engys will be better.

I gave up on liadri, the objective is easy i played a game where it had the same objectives as liadri avoid falling 1 shotters, and destroy 4 eletricity containers powering it except their wasnt an orb, the location was a dungeon not a bubble, and the other enemies didnt 1 shot you but they did attk you. Liadri is just broken, with a horrible location, horrible death waypointing, and 1 shot isnt a challenging mechanic imo same with the other game, only difference is you could have a team of 5 infact you NEEDED a team of 5, solo was insanely hard. And yes it favors professions people may say any profession can do it, that is true, but not every person with a horrible profession can do it.
