Unable to complete Mistward Armor

I posted similar thread on Revenant forum but have a feeling it won’t get much attention and i’m really hoping to get some answers here with better coverage. Mod plz don’t penalize me for double posting this as i’m really confused and frustrated by the lack of information about this. Wiki hasn’t helped me at all either.

Ok, I need the Mistward Legging Insignia and Mistward Plate insignia and the exalted vendor in Tarir doesn’t have it, nor the Nuhoch one for the plate. Not sure if i approached the right one here though. I visited the one near the Order of Wispers waypoint in Tangled Depths and as i said, he doesn’t have it. These are the last items i need for both chest and leggings and i can’t complete it.

I have max exalted mastery line so at least he should have the legging one for me, right? But all i see for sale on his page 2 is 3 back item components and nothing else. Looking at the wiki and the list of items he sells, there’s a host of things he sells on page 2 and yet none are available to me. What is going on here? did i waste all them mastery points on exalted for nothing? Where are the rare materials they’re supposed to teach me to find? and why aren’t all the vendor items available to me?

If anyone could shed some light on this i’d be most grateful, but i’m disappointed the game itself isn’t explaining it to me. Anet ur taking this idea “we don’t hold your hand” too far. There are some things we as players need to know and would appreciate it if this information is available in the game via tooltips or whatever.

Guild Bank Eating Contributions

When I move items to put in guild bank, they disappear.

I’ve been having this issue for some time now only with me, its the other way around. when i take items form guild bank they don’t appear in my inventory. As the above poster said, i discovered by accident if i move another item from GB to inv, the invisible item appears.

This is the most awful cumbersome interface ever! I play other, older than gw2 games where i’m in guilds and use the GB all the time. they all work perfectly like any other bank. u just right click items in ur bag and they go to first available slot in the GB and auto stack etc. in gw2, just adding an item to a stack in the GB we’re having to perform 4 functions instead of one and with this invisible bug its 6 functions, seriously? is this the best u can do? even 3 + years after release u cannot come up with a better system? I had really hoped HoT would give us that better system but i guess not.

This happens to me a lot as well especially lately, but as others have pointed out, it’s been going on for a long time, long b4 HoT came out. I also get really bad mouse lags or full lock ups as if the game doesn’t even recognize i have a mouse and sometimes, my mouse cursor completely disappears.

Cant leave guild

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

I dont know if this is a bug or not. I’m trying to leave a guild, but the “leave guild” button is grayed out and not avaliable. I’m in other guilds and that button seems to be fine for them. I’ve tried repping the different guilds and nothing changes.
So I dont know, is this a bug, or is there an option set by guild leaders that a person cant leave a guild?

I had the same problem a while ago and some 1 pointed out that what u have to do, is not rep any guilds then select the one u want to leave. It’s a stupid system tbh and wish there was some info as to how it works instead of a grey button that tells u nothing. But i guess we’re expected to stumble blindly through all these uninformative systems and hope and prey we don’t make a grave mistake.

Items removed from GB invisible in inv

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

Not sure if this has been reported, or if anyone else is even experiencing this problem, but sometime after HoT launched I started seeing this weird bug, where i take items out of GB for stacking purposes or w/ever and it disappears both from the GB and from my bags. This doesn’t happen all the time, but ur almost guaranteed for it to happen if ur taking several items out of GB.

I can close my bags, the GB and reopen them, but the item is still invisible. The only way i discovered (by accident) the item re-appears, is by taking something else from the GB and placing it into my inventory. It’s bad enough u have to keep taking items out of GB just to stack them up, but this bug makes everything 10x more frustrating. Please fix this asap as i’m sure like me, most people these days are having to use their GB more than ever.

Thank you

Dive Master Frustration!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

I have 37 out of the 38 Diving locations completed. The one I am totally unable to obtain is the Kryta Diving Point #8. This one is at the end of a spectacularly difficult jumping puzzle.

I managed to find this information on Dulfy’s guide but even though I managed to get to where the goggles were located twice, each time I jumped, I failed the dive. You cannot see anything below you because of the fact that there appears to be a solid rock face between you and the area you need to traverse.

So even if you manage to get past that, you are faced with all kinds of pipes and pillars that you cannot avoid unless you know exactly where to jump. It is impossible to move your character around these obstacles because once you jump, you are committed to the downward path.

Dulfy’s video shows the location but unless you are extremely lucky, you will most likely hit something on the way down, killing your toon in the process and failing the dive.

“Gendarran Fields #3
This diving goggle was newly added on July 1, 2013 as part of the Not So Secret Jumping Puzzle. Players will need to get to the very top of the jumping puzzle and jump down to the water below.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNO5Ekd94fU

The sad part of all this is the fact that I need the mastery point that I can obtain with this achievement. According to the wiki you only get one (1) point for all your troubles. It would have been nice if Anet had parceled all this up into chunks providing more options instead of this pitiful …single point for all of them.

I know exactly how u feel. It is actually rather horrible if u have a high ping like me. I simply cannot make that dive. it took me hours to get up there to begin with and when i finally did i had to jump blindly into abyss. Half way down, suddenly a pipe appeared in front of me and splat, dead. All that effort, hours and hours of it and countless deaths, for nothing.

That was over a year ago and just to torment me, when they changed the achievement to show 3 closest to being finished, that 37/38 dive master sits on top every time i open that panel. I’ve come to hate that panel. I think it’s rather cruel to force ppl do that horrible goggle dive to complete such a multiple jump achievement.

They need to add more options, or simply allow (me) to remove it from nearly completed achievement, b/c i’m never, ever going up there again, even though i need that mastery point badly. No human being should be put through such a horrible frustrations in a game supposedly built for fun. For me, there’s is 0 fun in that dive and as far as i’m concerned, unless they add more doable jumps, that 37/38 dive master can sit there till gw2 shuts down. I will….almost have….learned to ignore its existence.

What's up with massive ping rate atm?

Guild Admin Ranks Permissions not working

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

Update. Yes moving the rank icon up the list has worked, thanks to your help and not the non-existent guild information system.

Why isn’t there any info in the guild panel about this when creating ranks? I didn’t even know you could move those icons? After having an awful experience way back when i accidentally removed myself from my own guild without any warnings “are u sure” (now we have it thank god) i’m too scared to fiddle with anything in this guild system as it’s extremely unforgiving. In any case, I would have thought permission lvl would govern someone’s authority within the guild, not some arbitrary icon position. But whatever.

(sugg) Option for 3 guild bank permissions

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

Agreed. I’ve always wondered why this wasn’t in place at launch.

It definitely should have, but what makes it worse is that 3+ years on it still isn’t. There are still too many QoL’s missing from guild management, such as (besides the above) mass mail out to members and generally lack of tooltips and guidance when setting up guilds. I had really hoped HoT and addition of guild halls would have changed that but sadly it hasn’t.

I mean on the ranks panel, you can drag ranks up and down to give them priority over one another. Is your co-leader rank physically placed above other ranks you wish to administrate? I’m on my phone so I can’t upload a screenshot right now unfortunately

Yea tnx i just figured it out i can drag them around tnx a lot i still have to log into my alt to test it out but it kinda makes sense now. Hopefully it will all work ok. i’ll update this post tomorrow and let u know.

Tiger Ashante.1792

Have you placed your co-leader rank at the top, right below leader but above everyone else? Users can only administer ranks located below them

Well i only play one account at a time, so when i log on my alt, i’m logged out of my main account and then my alt’s rank is always at the top where leader usually is. I therefore think i should be able to do all the things a leader can, since in the absence of my main account being online, they are the leader.

P.S. I think i may have misunderstood what u meant. Do u mean the rank symbols? if so no, they’re where the game placed it when i first created the rank, its actually quite a bit down the list, how do i move it up then?

(sugg) Option for 3 guild bank permissions

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

Guild bank has 3 categories that you have to upgrade individually, yet only 2 permissions: stash and trove. But there’s also deep cave, the very last upgrade and most expensive one and yet there’s no permission for it.

I would really like to have 3 separate permissions for each guild bank category, so i can allow my officers have access to the trove, while still preserving the deep cave just for leader to access and the stash that is accessed by anyone. It’s very frustrating not having all the option available, making the guild bank permissions management very difficult and tricky.

Hi Anet,
I would like a clarification on an issue that’s been bothering me for some time. I bought a 2nd account about a year ago when gw2 was still available for purchase. I created a rank of co-leader in my primary guild and gave this 2nd acct all the permissions of a leader. Yet I’m unable to do anything with this 2nd account when it comes to administering ranks. Ie: i can invite members to the guild, but i cannot promote/demote/kick etc. Is this a bug?

This 2nd acct does have its own guild but i mainly use it for storage and always rep my main guild. It just seems strange i can have members that belong to other guilds and with less permissions do more than my alt account that has all the permissions. I would really appreciate an answer as to why this is so. Thanks in advance.

Always Show My Name

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

So, way back when I first beta’d this game there was one thing that troubled me slightly. I kept losing my character in the sea of others doing events and things. It was distressing, but I moved past it and got better, but in the back of my vain little head I always wished to see my own name above my head with my titles. It’s a staple of most MMOs and the like and I always wanted it here. I used to have my party members T-target me in dungeons and stuff for fun just to see it. Then a few months ago ANet added a way for you to see your name with the Alt Key and I rejoiced a little inside. Tonight I was helping a friend in spvp set up their keybinds and I noticed that there is a toggle for “Always Show My Name” cheekily placed in the options. I didn’t see this in the patch notes anywhere or in any news, and I just lept for joy.

This may be No big deal for some, but for me its the little things like that that I REALLY appreciate. Just that the option is there means a lot. So thanks for this! It’s epic and I love it! I also love that it’s a thing I can turn off on a whim as well.

TL;DR: ANet secretly added in an option for me to always see my characters name/title without a key press; I am happy as Kittens about it and thought others should know! =D

Yes indeed they sneakily added it in, thinking no one would notice but i did…only by accident mind you. I’ve been asking for this feature since release and yes, we finally have it!

I’ve also been asking for personal portraits ever since game launched, but so far no luck. I always thought it strange not having a portrait in an MMO where u have to group a lot and its always made me feel like my character is non-existent. I dislike the fact when in a party, i can see everyone else portrait except my own, how strange is that? Anyway, you never know, they may surprise us all one day and sneak it in just like they did show your name option.
Please Anet add this feature too, please.

Nathan the Bartender requires HOT - not fair

Tiger Ashante.1792

Why can’t all guildies access the guild buffs? I don’t see what’s special about a karma or xp boost that should require HOT…

Absolutely agreed. I’m especially annoyed that even members who actually bought the game, cannot access these buffs unless they also own HoT. Quite ridiculous and unfair to say the least. Prior to HoT all guild members had access to guild buffs and still should. It’s a poor way of trying to push sales for HoT and more likely to put people off from buying than encouraging them.

Tyrians Can't Jump!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

To be fair, Tyrians only learned to jump sometime within the last 250 years.

I always thought it odd for a game that promotes jumping so heavily, there are many, many places where a tiny bump is insurmountable. I’ve ofc come across this millions of times in the course of the last 3 or so years and always shook my head in frustration and confusion as to why this is so. But just b4 i posted this thread, i had one of those “oh for goodness sake” moments as my char tried to jump this foot or so high rock. It was ridiculous and until i used a speed buff it was impossible to do. It really saddened me tbh as this was not some invisible wall, there was an ore atop this rock and u can obviously get on it, but the jumps off the ground given to our characters are so low that it was impossible to do it in a normal way.

I wish we had an agility attribute we could lvl up to naturally and permanently gain higher jumping abilities and be able to climb up mountains and such. But i dare say that won’t happen any time soon if ever, if we can’t even jump atop a little boulder without having to use a speed buff.

But who knows, with the mastery system in place anything is possible, hint, hint, nudge, nudge Anet.

Oh sure, they pretend they can, by happily skipping and hopping and making mini little jumps on flatish surfaces, but as soon as they’re faced with a foot high obstacle, they go all spazzy, moaning and groaning in futile attempt to over come it. Unless ofc u give them some artificial speed boost, then they think they’re mighty fit and can do anything.

And god forbid, if an enemy even as much as look at them, they not only lose their already lame ability to jump, but to run as well. So much for progress and evolution eh.

Today we didn’t die and had no issues, but i’m not really sure. It seems pot luck if u have a good run or a buggy one.

Flashing exp bar makes me hate u all

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

I’ve been meaning to make my own thread about these issues but may as well post them here since it’s relevant to what i have to say.

There are lot of annoying UI elements added with NPE but especially with HoT. What i hate is that often, i can’t find my mouse pointer and i sometimes click on the exp bar by accident. Before HoT, it wouldn’t have mattered, it didn’t do anything except perhaps shown u the amount of exp to the next lvl etc. But now, if u touch that bar anywhere with ur mouse, it suddenly pops up this huge mastery window in my face that covers most of my screen. This usually tends to happen while in combat so i then have to frantically fumble with it to close it. The mastery window is way too big and the exp bar should be locked as it always was. Perhaps instead of the exp bar triggering the mastery window to open, you could instead create a little icon in the upper left screen like the traits icon to open it? Frankly i’m surprised this wasn’t implemented this way in the first place, sine we already have the traits icon residing there.

I don’t so much mind the dangly chest we get as rewards, but the sheer number of them and the non-stop jingle they make until u accept them is terribly irritating. Oftentimes when they pop up, we are fighting and don’t have time to accept them right away, but they keep annoying u with that jingle, taking ur attention away from combat. Perhaps if they jingled only every few minutes it would be more acceptable?

In HoT, they’ve gone to another lvl with head-shaking stuff. You get the dangly chests with all of the idiosyncrasies as above, but when u try to accept a chest in HoT, this new mini window that tracks meta event progress pops up, blocking u from accepting it. This window literally overlaps those chests almost entirely and it keeps opening each time u attempt to accept a chest. So unless u click precisely the outer right edge of a chest, this window will not let u accept it. This pop up window is way too big and needs to be reduced so it doesn’t encroach on the chests at all.

Also, if u try to place or hover ur mouse close to the upper edge of the mini map to say read/id, or link something, this meta tracking window pops up again instead, preventing you from doing so, or at least, making it very difficult to do so. So it’s not only too big, but it’s too attached to the mini map and there needs to be a separation. Maybe a little interactive icon similar to those in the upper left corner of the screen that u can click and check on meta progress would be less obtrusive and interfering with other UI elements as it currently does.

A note on NPE. One thing i have really disliked they added in the NPE was the dings for the heart quests. There are lot of hearts that overlap and if u make one step to the right, u get a ding for one heart, step to the left and u get a 2nd ding and if u stand in between those two points the dings go spastic. All these system are well intended i think, but poorly implemented. We’re not children. It’s good enough to get one ding to id the heart, no need to keep ringing a bell in our ears. I think it would be more helpful and more in line with other activities in gw2 such as events, to create a heart-shaped parameter of some distinct colour that identifies the heart quest limits, rather than these dings going off making u feel more annoyed than informed.

I could go on, such as the ridiculous number of variety of these pop up chest that u constantly have to accept. Just in HoT, there must be a dozen or more different chests that keep popping up. Why? I keep asking myself. It really is all pointless in the end. TBH i’ve never been so nonchalant to receive loot in any other game as i am in gw2. if getting these chest stirred any emotion in me, it would be annoyance, rather than anything else. Frankly, i would rather get fraction of these chests but when i do get one it actually holds something worthwhile, like 10 linen scraps or w/ever instead of 10 porous bones and rest ruining my hands salvaging.

I’m doing the story line: “In Their Footsteps”. I’m at glide over to Scout Acan. But I’ve glided all directions and can’t find him. Is this story broken at this point?

There’s a vista opposite to where he is across the gorge. there’s a rock above the vista, a good launching point if u have the endurance mastery. If not, near the vista, there’s a branch that extends quite a bit out if u carefully go as far as u can on that branch, you can reach him fairly easily especially if u hold W for a bit to boost ur speed a little.

Tiger Ashante.1792

Perhaps someone from Anet would be so kind as to explain to us poor consumers how mega-server is supposed to work to our advantage with the way they’ve structured participation and with lengthy map meta chains. Absent such explanation, I am forced to conclude that the only advantage is that we can get lucky and taxi (itself kind of a pain) to a viable shard. This also leaves the impression that the underlying structures to support player engagement with the content are inadequate to the task.

I would really like to see them implement gw1’s district system. It worked so well and i think it would work in gw2 as well and be much better than this taxi system which i think is bugging out the megaserver in itself. Just look at the LFG at any given time and there’s so much taxiing going on to different maps/events and the megaserver is getting confused. Especially since HoT where now multiple maps are trying to be filled all the time and there’s to much movement going on between these maps with the taxi system.

With the gw1 district system, people can choose which district to got to from a drop down menu and each district has a number allocated (explaining this for benefit of people who hadn’t played gw1) for eg: NA dist 10. The megaserver can have a set number of districts available at any given time, say 30 for eg and then create more if those get filled. This would eliminate the need of having to join groups via LFG, then having to leave that group so more can be taxied in and also having to re-advertise. Instead, you just put in LFG, doing DS meta in dist 10 and people move in until its full. The overflow crowd can then advertise district 11 till it gets full etc. A game message could be broadcast in the map that tell people in it that it’s now full so they can remove the advert from LFG and also people trying to join that map can also receive a message as they do now that district map is full and i think this would make everyone happy.

I honestly don’t understand why this system wasn’t carried across from gw1 to begin with. That game had some very nifty features and everyone liked the district system. I think it would work very well with the megaserver technology in this game as well, but instead, we have this this setup in gw2 that’s an absolute mess and very few people like it.

An entire full map just got kicked prior to the Mouth of Modremoth fight in DS. We were about to complete that circular area event when all of a sudden, we were all kicked into an empty map with 20+ min to go b4 map closure. This really is unacceptable. After all that work to get to where we were only to be thrown out of the map is mind numbing bad.

Anet please fix your Megaserver! This is an embarrassment and a huge discredit to your company.

As you can see, I am in my Arena, I just finished the ability to put walls up, and talked to the Coordinator, he puts me in the Arena, as you can see in the picture, the walls are in the Arena Inventory, but it will not allow me to place them in the arena itself.
What am I doing wrong? Please don’t tell me I had to first build the walls through Scribe to be able to put them in here or… I’m punch something (sobs)

Did u click on the decoration/wall inside that panel? if u do that, it changes ur skill #1, which u then click to place decorations, and in that image, the skill #1 looks empty. If u did click on it and nothing happened, then like others said, u may not have permission to decorate.

I have my own but i joined this other guild some time ago and i want to leave it but i can’t. The tab for leaving a guild is always greyed out, even when i switch to represent it.

Anyone else having this problem? Is it a bug? If it is, its kinda strange one since ppl seem to have no problem leaving my guild.

Reward system is tiring me...

I like gw2.

However I’m getting fedup with the constant physical rewards that I have to accept and keep filling up my bag. The constant rewarding and accepting loot or whatever has become burdensome, and I keep having to sell the items once my bags are completely full.

Is there a way to ‘not accept’ some rewards or loot…. I don’t like being forced to have to engage in the trade or buy and sell system.

Yes, the loot system in this game has become horrible, worst i’ve ever seen. it’s mind numbing boring not to mention, it’s killing my fingers, never mind the mouse. 1 hour in SW and spend as much sorting out all the junk, while having to listen to annoying repetitive NPCs spiel one idiotic sentence over and over every 2 seconds. Seriously, what happened to gw2? I sometimes feel it’s been infiltrated by ppl who want to destroy this game and any fun it used to offer.

I can’t stand the bag, in bag in a bag, crap. It’s extremely disingenuous to give u an exotic bag that contains all blues and greens. It may fool u the first time, maybe even 2nd time, but soon u realise ur being cheated. Even worse ur character commenting on getting something special when in fact it’s all junk inside. Like the broken ornaments, oh man, who’s idea was this to put them into a rare boxes? kittened really kittened.

Srry, i’m getting fed up with gw2 and i think my recent posting is reflecting that. I love(d) this game, but lately, particularly since HoT launched, i’m seriously considering other games to call home.

Yes Brunno, Attis, those are the options we currently have, but they’re terrible ones. Materials should be reasonably easy to obtain in the game without resorting to binding a character to a particular level just to open containers.

What is this thing you speak of? Is this some mythical crafting material?

Jokes aside, i agree. forcing you to not only use damask, but leather as well to craft ascended, is beyond reasonable. I haven’t seen a rugged leather pce in many moons. the crafting requirements in this game are atrocious, so unbalanced and purely designed to bleed you dry of everything. Instead of being a fun activity its a hideously punishing one in this game and a thing to be avoided.

Some materials are truly out of balance like rugged leather. As an account with all max 80’s i rarely get to see the lower lvl leathers and rugged one seems non-existent. Even when i was lvling some of my characters and completing each of the zone, i rarely saw this leather drop.

One can only hope something will be done to remedy this. It only took them 3 + years to fix the soft wood, lets hope they’re bit quicker on the ball when it comes to this leather and linen, omg linen as well.

Karka Queen - most frustrating boss ever

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tiger Ashante.1792

Tiger Ashante.1792

I don’t mind bosses that are difficult or hard to kill or even ones that are not on specific timers.. In fact, I like a challenging boss fight. Karka queen is frustrating for the opposite reason: she is too easy and dies too quickly. I never know where or when she will spawn, and by the time I get there, she is usually dead.

I decided to get there ten minutes early today and, after waiting for 8 minutes or so, she spawned near the one waypoint I didn’t have on the character I was on. So I went to the closest one I did have, and by the time I got there (literally 30 seconds later), she was dead.

This is probably the 5th or 6th time in a row I’ve gone to fight KQ and missed the event altogether. Anyone else extremely frustrated by this? I can’t think of another boss event where the boss dies this quickly.

Ways Anet could improve it to give more players a chance to participate:

-Give people a warning 2 minutes before she spawns, saying where KQ will be spawning.
-Increase her health, to keep up with the power creep currently in game.
-Add another phase to the fight.

Regardless of what others have said here, i agree that KQ dies way too fast for one of the the supposed toughest world bosses. I think partly the problem with this boss is that the respawn timer on it is way too long and so there’s always huge amount of people at this event. I’ve had the same issues with this boss despite having all the wp’s. I usually wait in the middle area and even if she spawns near one of the wp’s the lag is so bad and loading takes ages, not to mention running to her with gazillion other ppl is a slide show and i’ve missed her by the time i get to her. Or just as bad, i get dc’d just as i get there. She needs a huge buff imo.

Enviroment sound bug

I’m doing the PS ‘Ossuary of Unquiet Dead’ and i’m in the tent where u first start the mission and meet up with Trahearne. There’s loud and rapid water slapping (like ripples or waves) sounds there, even though we’re nowhere near the water.

Yea there are lot of voice bugs among our characters, many of them have been there for a long time. Nothing’s been done to fix them as yet it seems. it looks really bad when u watch new players on twich and their characters saying all the wrong lines. they probably don’t know that is wrong but i/we do and it don’t do any favors for the game that’s for sure.

Give us Solo Mode in Dungeons

Tiger Ashante.1792

Thanks for all ur suggestions, but i’ve not stepped a foot in pvp. I’m sorry but i hate it. I feel pvp does not belong in fantasy game nor do i feel we should be killing each other in a supposed co-op environment of an MMO. But that’s just me. I know many people like slaughtering one another and that’s fine, but i resent Anet trying to funnel us all into that mode in recent times. but that’s for another topic.

I’m sorry to say, don’t consider myself good enough player to solo dungeons in their current state, nor am i familiar with many of the dungeons paths or mechanic (yea not done much dungeons at all) and would like to explore them in my own time at my own pace. I always wanted to do them though but the way dungeons were run in the past and the kicking problems, put me of them ever since the game released. Just wish i had the freedom we have in gw1 of running our own heroes. I soloed all the dungeons in gw1 in both normal and hard mode with my heroes many times for achievements and wish i could do the same here.

I tend to lag in dungeons too for some reason. like 2 days ago, i did grawl fractals and for almost the entire fight, my character couldn’t move at all or use the skills while i was being smashed. I don’t know if it was the game’s fault or mine, my ping rate was pretty much on the average i have of 270-280 and my fps wasn’t bad either, so dunno what was going on there. And i felt pretty bad for the group i was in, like i wasn’t contributing at all. For these reasons alone it would be nice to have a solo option.

See Mob But Game Doesn't Think It's There

Yea i was about to post about this, i started noticing this a few days ago, i think since the changes that were made to classes, mainly rev and mesmer one, or one of the subsequent patches.

It seems to happen across the board. i first experienced this in timberline falls a few days ago, where i targeted this wolf that was invul and then he suddenly vanished and I have seen similar occurrences in various maps since.

Just now, in Orr it happened again. I targeted one mob that suddenly disappeared and something else popped in my face to attack me that wasn’t even there b4.

Update: Just completed the above mission and a couple of more, all had this bug as well, in fact it was worse in the instances than in open world.

Why Can't we see our own....?

Tiger Ashante.1792

It’s nice that u you have at least added ability for us to press Alt and see our names, even though it feels 2nd rate, incomplete, but it’s better than nothing I guess.

However, what really bugs me, is why we can’t see our own achievements icons, such as world completion, class icons etc. It’s kinda lame i can see everyone’s but my own. One of the main reason i wanted this feature, was so i didn’t have to ask ppl, “hey is that star showing against my name?” after i do world completion etc. So please, add these in thank you.

And are we ever going to get our own portraits? Seriously, what’s up with that? It’s ok to clutter my screen with useless pvp info and ‘raid are out’ etc, but we can’t have our own portrait?

Please, anet, listen to this idea!

Will

Not

Happen!

Dungeons are dead, mate. You can post as many forum posts as you want, they won’t turn back on dungeons ever again as long there aren’t gamebreaking bugs that need to disappear and are simultaneously linked between open world and dungeon content.

I really hope you’re wrong. They gonna have to do something. I looked again at lfg last night and not 1 not a single group for any of the dungeons. This is really depressing as i need tokens from several dungeons and haven’t finished my dungeon exploration as yet. Perhaps as some suggested in the past, gw1 style mercenary system should be implemented for dungeons, or the solo mode as i suggested.

Yep, there are number of annoying changes that have happened, but some are old too.

. it has not been saving ur bag size for a long while now, every time i log in its resized it back to whatever the default supposed to be

. now ur entire options (for me it only changes all the general options) every time u log out, is really irritating. Especially for me, since i have 2 accounts and have to spend ages every time i log in resetting my options.

. I also many sounds have changed as well since the last patch, like effect and music, where if u turn one way the sound completely disappears.

. Also began hearing other player’s weapon combat sounds that are so loud and terribly annoying especially their auto attacks. I’ve never heard these sounds b4 this last patch. Like there was one elementalist auto attacking a creature in water attunment and it was constantly making this horrible sloshing sound and so loud i had to move away.

Influence conversion

Tiger Ashante.1792

I have a bit of influence left over, almost 6k, but i don’t seem to be able convert it. I spoke to every NPC in LA’s guild hall but none offered me the option. Except one of the NPC’s i approached with a big green type icon, it says this content is temporarily disabled. Is he the one that supposed to do the conversion? And if so, why is he disabled? Also, is 6k influence worth anything to convert? i don’t know what the exchange rate is but i would have thought i’d get some favor for it.
Thanks for any info/help u can offer.

I agree that screen clutter has become too much in gw2. Kind of ironic really when u consider their ideology since inception of gw2 is to have minimal UI elements, so much so, they’ve denied us any type of customization of it.

I was in DS yesterday trying to complete the map, and with the meta event on and all the pvp, raid ads, my entire right side of the screen was covered in crap all the way where it was starting to overlap my mini map. Seriously Anet? What is this garbage? Like others have said, this is the only game that don’t allow u any options to customize ur UI and yet you insist on cluttering it for us and obscuring our vision.
