Guild Wars 2

After seeing ppl saying they lost their watchknight mini i went to check mine and yep its gone too. It was in the bank as well.

Just to be sure none of my alts had it i logged them in to check but no, none have it so yea definitely gone.

OMG! is that what it is? Not sure if I’ll bother chasing it now.

I thought it would be the same as Candy Corn transform in gw1. You could use it in combat for 1 hour with 1 hour CD, so that if u died u loose the transform and have to wait for CD.

I used to love running around as candy corn on my hunter in gw1, it was such a nice change and fun to do.

Darn i finally got scarlet on the alt i thought couldn’t get one and yep no achievement lol. ah well i’ll go back and look for him tnx.

Eiko.1329:

visit Vorpp in the crown pavilion with your alt and ask him for another projector. :-)

Thank you very much! This seemed to work perfectly

I just tried this with an alt and every time i near the pavilion doors i get pushed back, so unable to enter and speak to him.

PS: is he available outside the instance by any chance? i didn’t look for him outside as i thought he’d be only within the instance?

Twice now i’ve been kicked out of overflows without being given a chance to confirm/reject the offer.

First time, was Bloodtide Coast. Saw on UI the event had started there. I knew i wouldn’t get in on my Server (Jade Quarry) but according to the release notes if you get there within 10 minutes of the event starting on ur server, it will also start in the overflow in that time. So i thought i’d wait and do some events there meanwhile. Sometime later, i’m offered to travel to my own server and b4 i could click on anything i was being loaded out of the map.

2nd time, I was on overflow in MT. Maelstorm. Got there just as the event started, spent the whole time doing the event with a group of ppl and with 1 min to go, i was once again offered to got back to my own server and this time it happened event faster. I got kicked out of the map just b4 getting my reward and the window offering the transfer barely showed on my screen b4 i was kicked out.

Really annoyed. All i want is to get to the end portal for the 2nd part of the Queens speech story, but if i’m being kicked out of the map just b4 the event ends how am i supposed to get this done?

On a side note, i’m also having problems interacting with things, such as gathering resources. i click on gather button for ore, nothing happens, i hit F key nothing happens it takes 6-10 clicks sometimes for it to finally work.

I was completing CS map and also doing my PS which happened to be in the camp where everyone congregated. I didn’t realise right away why so many ppl were there. Although i’ve heard ppl talk about this event i didn’t know exactly where it was but anyway, the ember event started, so i joined in.

It was crazy. I fought dozens of champs there and only finished up with 3 bags/boxes or whatever they are. The event was still going when i left, it seems kinda pointless. I’m not the one to scream for rewards but when after such an intense event and so many champs to get virtually 0 drops seems rather weird. everywhere else i fought champs i always get the bag drops including pavilion so yea something definitely wrong there.

Yes there should be easy mode for people to train sort of speak. I suggested as much myself in one of my threads. and yes SAB did have an easy mode and it was a good idea.
any new type of mechanics or something totally new, should have 2 modes easy/hard for people to get an idea how it works.

GW1 had normal/hard mode for all content and it was a great way to learn as both modes were same, only Hard Mode was well….harder.

Nettle.9025:

Shpongle.6025:

I don’t want challenges in a video game. I come to relax and pwn everything and pretend I’m godlike. I have enough challenges in RL….

Tiger Ashante.1792:

Exactly, I have back and neck injuries due to car accident that challenge me 24/7 irl. I come to gw2 to escape and have a bit of fun.

And I come to GW2 (and any other game) to find challenging and satisfying content to play. Does that make me any less of a player than you?

The great majority of this game is casual and doable by everyone who plays, and in turn is not always terribly exciting to players like me. If you want casual fun and godmode, go play the other 99% of the game. There is already oodles of content designed for your liking.

What about players like myself who look for a challenge? It’s not fair that we finally get ONE fight that takes a modicum of skill, and people start complaining like crazy to have it changed. Stop being selfish and let people who share my playstyle finally enjoy a challenging piece of content without constant cries for difficulty nerf.

An MMO will never be 100% geared towards any one person, but it’s unfair to try to shut out a certain play style unless it’s in a niche game clearly advertised as such.

crestpiemangler.7631:

Games are supposed to be about having fun…

Nothing you can accomplish in this game equates to success in real life, which is why, perhaps, people who can’t succeed at real life come here to find something they can do that others can’t, regardless of the complete absence of impact it has outside of the game.

This is a completely vitriolic thing to say. I’m relatively successful outside of this game. Doesn’t mean I can’t look for a challenge in a game as well. Don’t try to tell others what their idea of fun should be either. I actually enjoy difficulty, as do many others. Try to realize not everyone thinks like you do.

So are u saying that fractals, which btw so call HC players cried to get as well, isn’t HC and challenging enough for you? or many of the other dungeons, none of which i’ve hardly touched? Or PvP and WvW for that matter?

I’m basically unable to play 50% of the content for various reasons and Gauntlet (i thought) was for everyone to enjoy not just a handful of HC players who never seem to be satisfied anyway. When the adrenaline rush of the gauntlet is gone, you’ll be screaming for something even harder. Eventually, i see this game becoming unplayable for some 1 like me who just want to have a bit of fun in a game, not lay on my backside 90% of the time just to prove how HC i am.

[/quote] Games are supposed to be about having fun. This isn’t a professional sport where participants are awarded by 6-7 figure salaries, this is something you should enjoy doing in your spare time.[/quote]

Radu.1693:

How is a thread that was started by someone complaining about being killed by the first enemy in the gauntlet almost at 300 replies?

If you can’t avoid a one shot ability, you need to improve your ability, if you can’t improve then you don’t deserve the reward.

If you READ my post or subsequent ones, you would have seen i actually finished 3rd round b4 i lost interest.

I lost interest coz i could see all the bosses were build with that 1-shot mechanic.

I got 1-shotted by the first boss coz it was my first time, didn’t know what to expect. soon as i got loaded in, i got 1 shot b4 i could even orient myself and the boss was no where near me at the time, yet he’s supposed to be melee. I’m not the first to experience this either. So it was either latency, lag or w/ever. I am from Australia and we don’t have it so good when it comes to latency etc.

I repeat, i was actually looking forward to this content, sounded like fun and i didn’t even know what the reward was b4 i started. I wasn’t doing it for reward, wanted some fun in gw2, been bored for a long while but keep hoping something good would come out at each patch.

They should have at least added some kind of “boast” dialogue from the boss b4 the fight and timer starts, so you can orient yourself with the surrounding etc, b4 you get splattered on the floor b4 you even figure out where the boss is.

Gathslan.1870:

All the one shots can be avoided so yes it is meant and is a challenge, and it is fun too.

Loved this content than anything i have played in gw2 so far, actually got my blood flowing

U mean all the deaths u suffered? yes that would get ur blood going lol.

I’m not debating that those hits can’t be avoided. yes 2 dodges b4 ur endurance is empty, while ur being spammed with ridiculous spike dmg.

I LOVE the mobile combat mechanic in gw2, but the fact that everything seems to be about dodge and only dodge, annoys me. Dodge should be an assistance skill like any other utility or w/ever, not the die all and end all. If u don’t dodge, just this instant, ur dead mechanic is BS.

Edit: typo

tnx Wayne and cafard i can’t do that! i spent too much money on gearing her up and she has full set of perma gathering tools too! no way lol will i delete her. and btw have u deleted all ur chars that have died, like even once?

Smooth Penguin.5294:

I don’t think there was any “tricks” involved. I think you just weren’t paying attention to your surroundings.

I suggest you read my OP before making off the cuff remarks.

Well Fortus if you mainly want to show off ur weap mesmer is the best choice coz the clones wield them too when u do, so you see multiple of them as u play the game. I gave my bifrost to my mesmer and not regretted it.

Neural.1824:

Dagraan.2854:

how did he one shot you? he doesn’t do that much damage, especially since he’ll drop down and use that fire shield first.
you could just ask for a thief to help you and drop a shadow refuge, the champion will still teleport there while your stealthed but he won’t hit you.

maybe you should run a more defense oriented build if you’re trying for no deaths.

I’ve been one shotted by that prick on various different classes. Warrior, Ranger, Thief. He doesn’t always use his fire shield first, though perhaps that mechanic has changed. When I’ve died, it’s been because I got in the way when he drops down and strafes the ground with multiple burning AoE spots. That usually results in an instant down and roast, even if people are there to try and rez you, they end up downed themselves.

There wasn’t anyone there. I was literally alone in the whole map, every wp, every outpost contested that can be, not a soul around. This was the case in SoD as well, not sure about CS as i hadn’t gone there yet.

But anyway, the deed is done. I tried but i guess i knew all along, knowing how the game works, i don’t stand a chance. Sooner or later it was bound to happen.

Still i feel pretty proud i got as far as i did, and i didn’t avoid content, events PS etc to get there.

I figured, i’ll push this as far as i can. ideally, i would have liked to have gotten 100% world but 82% is pretty good in my view. I just feel disappointed it happened the way it did.

People say that champ pops up at the skill point all the time, but i’ve done 100% on 8 chars and i’ve never seen that b4. So perhaps things have been changed since i did it last which was quite a few months ago now.

Magnetron.5823:

I died over 5500 times lol

well not sure seeing that death count has made me feel better lol. i don’t think any of my toons have hit more than 500 deaths and that’s probably my main and i have been playing since head start.

It just shows you how easily you die in this game. I don’t really understand what pleasure game devs derive from player deaths. They seem to gravitate toward designing games where players can die so easily, its kinda unnerving tbh.

Meglobob.8620:

You have died. You are no longer hardcore.

Do the decent thing, delete that character and start again…

How can you continue playing when you know you should be dead?

Hahah you made me laugh, it made this easier to bear tnx lol.

Yes, that’s right, it’s the only explanation. I had survived equivalent to 200lvls with 0 deaths, was doing Malcor Leap. Had 75% done, all of the most difficult sp, vistas etc and 82% world completion.

Then i got to do the last SP, which i have always found relatively easy in the past. The SP in question is just east of Doric’s WP, just b4 u enter cursed shore, in Karst Plateau.

I was aware that a champ risen knight sometimes lurks in the area so i scouted the place and saw him hovering above several NPC’s he had killed some distance away. He wasn’t within SP aggro range, so i thought i was safe from him.

I see a Vet risen guarding the sp, kill him, go to commune and right in the middle of it, this champ risen knight appears from nowhere right above me and basically 1 shots me while i was communing. Now that is lame!

I’m so mad to be killed off like that. I didn’t die coz of my carelessness but bc the game decided I had lived too long and used a trick to kill me off. Thanks a lot Anet.

PS. here’s the funny thing. after dying i went back to do the sp and same thing happened, only this time the champ didn’t attack me at all. I guess he was happy with himself, he achieved what he set out to do….remove my 0 death count, grrrr!

Celyth.3085:

hahaha, OP, getting 1shotted on the first boss…some srs soldier gear you got there BREH!

no amount of facetanking with vitality gear will get you far enough here.

Read their stats, act accordingly…

That’s not funny, not funny at all!

My guild’s deep cave upgrade finished some 5 hours ago, but it don’t show up in the permissions listing and as such i’m unable to mange the permission of it.

Is there some kind of delay b4 it shows up? or is it a bug?

If devs or anyone can answer this it would be much appreciated.

@Balekai.6083

I too believe in balance, all 9 of my chars, none are zerk build, but rather balanced and focused in the main on what they’re supposed to do best. This is the case not just in gw2, but in gw1 and other games i play. Overall it’s always worked best for me.

I can’t afford to start re-gearing all 8 classes just to see if one one class, or a different set of gear/traits will work best for particular small aspect of the game.

This also why i avoid dungeons, that are full 1-shot mechanics. That kind of “challenge” does not challenge me, only serves to annoy me and abandon the content.

Wouldn’t it be good idea to be able to drag item u want to sell (including stacked up ones) into the search window, then hit search button to bring up same type items on sale to compare the prices? This would would save you having to type up each individual item’s name you want to sell, some of which are very long and make the selling process tedious, especially if you have a few things to sell.

Show support if you like the idea plz.

yep, i just spent 3k karma and no credit for daily, wish i new about the bug b4 hand lol.

This may be hard to explain as it is kinda unusual. I haven’t tested this on any other classes but my ranger. Ive been noticing this since the last main update.

When attacking inanimate objects, such as mines, guns, turrets, gates etc, it seems i cannot finish them off, or at least the red HP bar indicates they’re not destroyed, yet i cannot attack them any more as if they ARE destroyed.

It seems, the damage my pet is dealing to an object does not register correctly on the red HP bar of an object, ie: reducing the HP.

If you look at the attached shot, you can clearly see the mine looks still alive, yet my ranger could not attack it any more. You can also see that my pet is in the process of using spit poison and that poison it seems will destroy the mine. So the game is actually stopping my attack b4 my pet has even hit the mine, pre-empting it’s damage.

I bought the Magitech medium armor skin for my Thief. I don’t like the way the coat looks, but I very much like the boots and the leggings. So I transmuted the leggings over my nice Assassin pants only to find this terrible clipping which did not show up when I previewed the skins.

The clipping also appears on the right side of her through the leg, where it looks like a tear. I spent 800 gems on this so I would appreciate a fix for it asap as I haven’t played my Thief since this happened.

I wasn’t sure where to post this but perhaps moderator can move it to the right sub-forum if this isn’t the right one and also please bring to the attention of the relevant dev team.
Edit: typo

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Actually Ive noticed this as well, I figured it was just me though. Ele, staf: fire skill 4, and air skill 3. The first is a backward roll, the other is a push back. In either case I, or the foe (depending on which is being used), rubberbands right back about 50% of the time. Very annoying

Yes same here, with my ranger i meant to mention that it don’t happen all the time but yea about 50% of the time, which tells me it must be a bug. Otherwise if they changed it, it should happen 100% of the time.

Since the july 23 update, i’ve been noticing a strange effect when using point blank shot on my ranger. The shot forces the enemy backward but they instantly rubberband right back. I’m uncertain if this happens with other classes that use similar type of push back skills as i’ve been playing mostly my new ranger since that update but it definitely plays differently for me.

Before the update when suing PBS, the enemy is forced backward and they kinda stagger to get up then run back to you, not insta rubberband back to the original position.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if devs could clarify if this is working as intended, or whether i should report it as a bug.

Also on a side note, since Aug 6 update, my Asura seems to be moving slower during normal movement, anyone else found this?

Nick.6972:

Someone should make a thread claiming tutorial being too hard.

You comparing gauntlet to tutorial? surely u must be joking.

Anyway, I do think Anet could make 2 modes of this. it would help having an easier, untimed mode (without achievements) like a kinda training run, to learn how it all works, rather than forcing you to die over and over just to learn what you supposed to do. This would especially be beneficial if the content stays or returns at some point later.

Eulolia.2467:

Guys, I’m 75% sure this is a troll thread.

Excuse me? are you calling me a troll? well that’s first and i demand an apology, as I’m no troll thank you.

Zenon.4328:

Lets focus on the OP’s post here. He was on the first boss, not some of the later ones that people here are arguing about.

The first boss’s 1 shot skill takes so long to wind up and only hits in front of him. If you are gonna melee him and stand in his face, just dodge behind him. He can’t move while charging up the attack so if you dodge earlier to behind him, you can just hit him while he stands there.

No, the first boss did 1 shot me the first time i tried, but then i got him the 2nd time. The odd thing is when i got 1 shot i was long way away from and don’t even know what hit me. All i know, i was full health 1 minute and dead the next.

2nd boss 1 shot me too, but i was confused by him coz he kept growing larger and larger and no matter how much i dodged or ran from him he was in my face. Then the 3rd boss, i was just a football, pulled and showed back and forth until i saw tiny little things in the air, don’t even know what they were. Birds? and it may have been them that were playing football with me. but even though i was downed i managed to kill the boss just in time.
then the 4th boss 1 shotted me as soon as i entered the arena and that’s when i rage logged.

Yea i don’t like it either OP. I thought i would, was even looking forward to some arena fighting tbh, but after seeing the senseless over the top mobs and mechanics, i’ve changed my mind about it.

I mean i went to the ceremony thing with the Queen, spent a few minutes there and after a few sentences what happens? An attack! how predictable! And that was it, the rest is more or less another farming zerg. So i thought i’d check the 1v1 arena thing and guess, 1-shot kills everywhere. Even liked the idea of balloon rides, but like u said, what? u get on this think and ur back DR! wasted a wp cost to get to the map just to be returned unceremoniously back to DR.

Ah well maybe one of these days we’ll actually get some expansion to this game, that wold be nice for a change.

Tiger Ashante.1792:

So here’s another one of those smart comments. Sick of hearing this a swell. Doge, dodge, auto attack crap! Just cut it out will you! you guys are making me really annoyed with this crap. I’ve been playing since beta, i got 9x lvl 80.s, my latest one a ranger is reached equivalent to 120 lvls with 0 deaths. So yea, I don’t know what dodge si, as i’m sure most gw2 players don’t, so why don’t you tell us all about it!

Well to be fair, you thought that Necro staff abilities made you stand still.

Tiger Ashante.1792:

I’m a staff necro and every skill is a mark you have to place on the ground and basically stand still to place them

Well I probably should have clarified, i don’t mean still literaly but i do use the ring makers and to place them to specific locations ie: on the enemy rather than lay them around randomly. I can still move but it using this method does make the movement somewhat restricted.

But this is not what my post is about. My argument is that if you go on one on one, nothing should be able to 1 shot you! simple as that! When i think about it, I don’t think it would matter if had 50k hp i still would have been 1 shot unless i had endless endurance do dodge.

Granted, my wireless mouse/keyboard makes me suffer some latency and with the lags going on in the pavilion anyway, it makes it hard to time my dodges as some ppl may. but i still go back to the fact that nothing should be able to hit u that hard where they insta kill you from full health to 0. for me, it’s the worst experience ever as i see no purpose in it other than to aggravate the player.

Calae.1738:

Use dodge. You know the thing where your player rolls on the ground?

So here’s another one of those smart comments. Sick of hearing this a swell. Doge, dodge, auto attack crap! Just cut it out will you! you guys are making me really annoyed with this crap.

Celestina.2894:

Cymric.7368:

ArenaNet, please stop trolling the player base and remove all non-berserk/rampager gear from pve, since that they are obviously useless.

Funny, I completed it with the majority of my gear being knight.

I’m sure anyone could complete it with trial and error and not minding dying zillion times, but that is not for me. I simply hate dying in any game always have and i guess this content isn’t meant for me. Break for gw2 may be in order.

laokoko.7403:

That’s what make the fight interesting. If you could just face tank autoattack, what’s the point.

Would you please stop accusing people of only auto attacking! I’m sick of hearing this whenever someone is trying to express that a certain mechanic is stupid. People like you come on here and claim it’s challenging instead, as away to imply you’re the most brilliant player above all others and no challenge is too great for you. Well good for you but stop belittling other players!

I don’t just use auto attack. i use all my skill…always…on all my classes thank you, as i’m sure most other people do as well.

Wilhelm.6894:

So did you get one shot by the first boss? because if so then yes that is intentional. If you could stand in one place kitten ing on the bosses that wouldn’t be any sort of challenge, the one shot mechanics or mechanics in general are there to test your skill at moving while still being able to do the dmg and survive.

Looking up a guide beforehand helps tremendously if you’re not the very first person going in and testing the mechincs to write a guide.

I was not standing still, i wasn’t even near the bosses, but they still 1 shoot you. The point is, this should not be in any frigging game. 1 shot mechanic is lame imo. I’m a staff necro and every skill is a mark you have to place on the ground and basically stand still to place them, but i guess like some have said in other threads, im supposed to start changing build and my gear just for this fight? no thank you. i shouldn’t have to. this was supposed to be fun and i was actually looking forward this update, but ah well forget it.

Not sure if this has been reported, but when you get the overflow message, you click on it to close it and in doing so, it opens your wallet instead! I know it’s not a big deal, but during busy times when you are constantly put in overflow it does become annoying.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have every class and i find my ele u/water is the worst. She just pecks at the enemy and i avoid the underwater with her. Thief is a probably 2nd worst but in general, i find the u/water combat ok, but yea, my ele sucks. If i have to do aquatic killer for the daily it takes her twice as long to complete it.

Best u/water? My ranger with harpoon gun and my engi with elixir gun.

Yea well, this forum is full of sarcasm and smart..s comments, which tells u much about the posters themselves.

I swear there are lot of ppl planted on this forum by competitor trying their hardest to bag this game. But no matter how hard they try they won’t spoil it for me, coz i make my own judgements about these things.

And Anet can laugh all the way to the bank as they would have had to buy the game to make their snide comments lol.

I don’t know if the OP means it or not, but despite some issues with the game, as far as i’m concerned it IS the best game out there atm and I have no doubt it will only get better.

Aww, that’s terrible lol. Why would u do that? it just shows you, u should never listen to strangers xD.

I made a exact same post many months ago and stated there that Frostgorge Sound was my fav map. Not only coz of the amazing beauty both on land and u/water but also coz it has Koda!

Ofc I love all the zones but there’s something magical about Frostgorge Sound.

This is not meant as a brag, just a little update.
My ranger has now gained equivalent 20 more lvls still 0 deaths. got just over 50% map exploration. last one i completed was Frostgorge sound and even did Jormag event! Ofc, she’s fully geared in exotics now and that gave me confidence i could handle the event.

Edit: ugh correction, just checked she’s actually done 60% world completion yay! hehe

Absolutely agree, idle animations as well as many others in the game are fantastic! I love the individuality of all the races. And seriously, each race design is just awesome! For eg: I love the wonderment in in the eyes and body language of my Sylvari chars as they stand around or my Asura scratching her head or stretching her fingers. truly wonderful stuff.

Oh i forgot to add this one…its one of my fav shots.

Nothing can douse my fire! Not even a swim lol.

On a side note. I made a post here trying to feel out community if they would be interested in GW2 Image Share and not one person expressed interest, yet every day i’m seeing more and more of these type of posts with images. ah well. maybe one day lol.

Who says the Devs don’t hear little voices!

The Wallet was suggested some 6 months ago and I supported it ofc. And voila! It’s coming!

As u can see in this link it wasn’t a big thread with zillion posts and views and yet we’re getting the wallet!

So huge thanks Anet, really guys, u rock!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/The-Wallet/first#post1243435

After completing the story 8 times so far and half way through my ninth, i’ve come to expect little in a way of reward form PS, but i must admit, i was a bit surprised to receive only gathering tools on no less than 3-4 occasions so far. I’m at lvl 48-50 PS atm.

I would have thought with lots of ppl having bought permanent gathering tools…in my case, all 9 of my chars have the full sets….that Anet may have offered an alternate reward for those who do have the perma gathering tools. Or at least make the gathering tools able to sell to vendors at least or something. In my case however, it was a matter of destroying them and not getting a thing for completing these story segments.

Tiger Ashante.1792:

I was about to say, i don’t think u can get the rose for scraps, at least not that i know of. you can only get it buy playing the Southsun Survival Achievement?

Nope you can get it for 200 Scraps from a vendor in the lower level of the Bazaar Docks.

Oh tnx for the info, i obviously haven’t spoke to that specific vendor as i got my catchers/helmets from Lions Arch one and i didn’t notice him selling those. Good to know.
