Guild Wars 2

Ok tnx for the helpful suggestions guys as well some insight into how DR may work, coz i have no idea about that stuff, so i’ll try them and see. But i must say this DR business is not nice at all, especially when u consider i don’t really farm and i can still get hit by it so easily.

Bob F It.5701:

If you don’t get the chest after the daily reset, it’s because diminishing returns is hitting the character. Leave the character afk on the other side of the room, and the DR should cool off.

But shouldn’t DR cool off if u leave the map? like for a whole day? I was told to got to WvW and log out my char there, which i’ve tried several times, then try it again the next day but still nothing. My 2nd character has been in Black Citadel for the past 2 days, so i just went to try it again and still nothing. There’s something wrong here surely?

Bomber.3872:

… oO two weeks and you are already wondering? I clear rhendak on 5 char each day since 4 month and no item… same with ogre and commissar… two weeks is like nothing

Perhaps i’ve not made myself clear, but I said i’ve been trying for weeks (more like 2 months now), but for the past 2 weeks not getting the big chest, please read my post again, thank you.

And i’m really sorry you’re having such a hard time getting it too. I thought collecting supposed to be fun, not an exercise in frustration.

A while ago, i went into the Font of Rhand to get my Mowderey II item there and killed Rhendak along the way, which unlocked the treasure collection by getting his chalice. Since then, i’ve been trying on and off to get the Rhendak Signet, the exotic version to no avail.

For the past few weeks, i’ve made a concerted effort to get this item, once again to no avail. I’ve been trying on most days in that time, at first with one character, now with 2. At the beginning, i would get the big chest and a daily dangly chest, but in the past 2 weeks I’ve gotten those maybe twice. Even though i leave the map, some times for 2 days not attempting it, i still don’t get the big chest or the dangly one.

So i tried with a 2nd character and same thing happened. first few goes she gets the big and dangly chests, then nothing. I just tried again just now after not doing it for well over 24 hours and both my characters leaving the map and still neither of those chests spawned for either of them.

How exactly am i supposed to get this item if even the chests don’t appear that supposed to give me a small chance at this? I’m getting rather frustrated and on the verge of giving up.

This is not so much a complaint as is trying to understand what is going on with this item, how’s is this supposed to work and what am i doing wrong?

I see other ppl having the same issue, big chest not showing up and this item seems almost as rare as the precursor. In all the time i’ve been trying, i’ve seen maybe 2-3 ppl get it. Seriously? is this how all the collections work? I’m now dreading precursor crafting.

But if anyone else is experiencing this problem, please post here and maybe devs will change how we get this item, coz this is not fun at all.

Also, don’t forget “shoo”! Remember that Moa quest in Istan, can’t remember the name of the place now, where u had to use shoo emote to herd them in.

And omg yes to “clap” and “hello” too, the most basic emotes in any game, I was really surprised they didn’t add those to gw2.

Lazze.9870:

Does your Aqua Breather have the rune?

Ugh darn, no it doesn’t, i forgot aqua breather replaces the helmet under water so geez, we have to have 7 runes!. Well tnx for pointing that out, i’ll see if that fixes it.

I use ranger runes on my ranger and the bonus #6 that gives +7% dmg while having an active companion is deactivated underwater, while it’s lit up on land.

Is this a bug or intended? And has anyone else found this to be the case?

Oh dear, i’m speechless.

That is odd indeed coz mine do stack.

Ok, so it happened again, and these the details.

could some 1 clarify this. if i choose say Taimi’s dye pack, will i then be able to choose which dye i want form that pack? or will i simply get a random one?

As others have stated, you get to CHOOSE which Electric Dye you want.

So go forth, and shine in your new colors!

Haha ty so much SP, i will try my best and tnx for the answer

could some 1 clarify this. if i choose say Taimi’s dye pack, will i then be able to choose which dye i want form that pack? or will i simply get a random one?

B/day gifts sound great! thank you Anet and happy B/day to u too.

How many dye choices are there? Not logged in yet today but was wondering if they’re gonna start duplicating if u have many alts. I have 9 chars atm with soon be 10-11 so it would be nice to get a different one for each eventually.

For me, head start was a bit of a blurred flurry. I remember that night sitting at my PC and trying to log in on the dot when Anet said they would kick it early and true to their word they did and i was surprised when i got in right away.

After that, it was a mad rush to create my characters and reserve their names, even though we were assured our GW1 names would be safe, i just wanted to make sure. And ofc, registering my Guild name.

But one thing I’ll never forget, is that it was the most exciting moment I felt about any game, when i logged in and heard that epic GW2 log in music. It was music to my ears sort of speak and i don’t think i slept for like 3 days. Yea good old times and hey, I’m still here, so those amazing guys at Anet must have done something right to hold my attention for so long. I know i gripe sometimes, but i can honestly say, no other game has captivated me as GW2 has and GW1 for that matter.

Fox.3469:

I don’t think i’m making an unreasonable request, of course it doesn’t have to be like this and this could be ignored, but i still fail to see any downsides. And if something only has possitive effects, why not do it?

There may not be an issue to you, but to me, and several in this thread, it is a hard choice. Not one i won’t make eventually, but a kittene nonetheless.
How it’s looking now, the revenant is probally gonna be my new main, and i’d wanna start it right away, but i want to play with my guild even more. So given the time i can invest, i’ll have to leave the revenant till i cleared the entire expansion with an alt.

And again, there really is no downside. If all pre-order players get the revenant a bit early, even if it’s 3 days like at GW2 launch we got the game 3 days early as pre-orders, that would mean allot to me, and wouldn’t negatively impact anyone’s experience in the process. So again, what is the harm? It’s not like the class won’t be ready 3 days before release.

I’m not a tech person, but if Revenant is integral part of the expansion, how can they separate it from rest of the expansion and release it early? is that even possible? they would have to kinda pick it out from rest of the content and upload it early on its own right? That may not be as simple as u think or like i said, even possible.

Aww that really sucks, but i will not move the servers. I’ve been on Jade Quarry since BWE1 i couldn’t bring myself to move, not even for a friend i’m afraid. Well if he stops playing as a result of this change, i guess it’s Anet’s loss, as he was planning on getting the expansion too.

For the past couple of weeks, my game crashes at least once a day in LA. Sometimes i just load in and it crashes, other times i do a few things like sell my stuff and poof it crashes.

Prior to the crash, there’s no warning of any kind, like me lagging or anything, it just blinks to the desktop, in fact to the error message and crash report thing that you can send to Anet, which i’ve done almost every time it’s crashed, but i guess that hasn’t helped since it’s still happening.

Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes?

I finally convinced a friend that played Lotro with me to get GW2, but he’s unable to get on my Server. He was very interested in WvW and this means we cannot play together as my server (Jade Quarry) always has Full status. He’s been trying for a few weeks now to no avail.

With the new system of showing server status, does this mean that JQ is locked for anyone wanting to transfer to it? Or is it still possible to do so? I feel bad coz he had a lvl 18 char and i got him to delete it so he could transfer for free, but I’m now wondering if he’ll ever be able to transfer?

And would it make any difference if he paid for the transfer? I’d just like to know what the situation is, so i can tell him not to bother trying and getting more and more frustrated, or simply leaving the game.

If anyone is able to enlighten me, i’d appreciate it. And btw, this new system for showing server status, using WvW is terrible, if it means what i think it means.

rich.3901:

Just logged into my 2nd acc to find the unmoveable “join SMS” or “remind me later”
I’m already using WinAuth for my main account and had no plans to upgrade to the authenticator on my 2nd account. (yes, call me stupid but that’s the way it is)
Now, to stop seeing this stinking “click remind me later” every stinking time I log onto my 2nd account I’m going to have to sign up for the authenticator on that account as well.

Now take note here, I DO NOT OWN A MOBILE PHONE (nor do I wish to) and also, I DO NOT WANT to give my house land line to anyone. Apparently anet won’t sell my number but we all know how that always ends don’t we (ANYONE CAN get hacked) so I’m not taking the chance.
(and don’t give the “using FaceBork or Spewgle” because I don’t use Spewgle Marketplace (obviously not having a mobile phone) and Facebork has never had my (old) mobile or landline number)

So, my only option is to use WinAuth for my 2nd acc as well.

The problem I am wondering about is this:

Will this corrupt the link between my main account and WinAuth
or:
will using WinAuth for a 2nd code cause no problems between the two alternate account codes I’ll have? you know the one if you use WinAuth, that massive WSDFER78FRG6JDDKFKG code (and no, that isn’t my code, obviously)

Anyone able to answer this?

Thanks for reading and for any advice if you can

Rich.

I’m in the same situation as you and i just fixed my alt acct using WinAuth with no problem. In WinAuth where it says add, just add gw2 again but give it a different name (for eg: one is Guild Wars 2, the 2nd is GW2) and write down your code & save it, noting for which acct it is, just as TJ suggested above and you should be right.

When u use this booster, each time u get the speed boost due to gathering, it flips your weapon skill bar. There are rare occasions when if u get attacked while gathering and u interrupt your gathering to fight, the weapon skills are unavailable.

The TP is just far enough from everything to make it a bit tiresome running back and forth. This could be alleviated by having a wp right next to it, despite lengthy loadings in LA.

Well i’m not suggesting they remove all all, just clean up that debris around the lake and maybe reduce it somewhat in the lake as well.

The events and spores nodes can stay as a reminder of that event, but i just think all that debris makes the map look ugly and doesn’t need to remain there forever.

I could used to hit F while my char was mining a rich node and when finishing the first 3 hits, would continue to mine. This made the process somewhat seamless. Now, after the 3 hits, i have to wait for my char to completely stop mining, then go into idle animation and only then hitting F or clicking the node works. This makes the process rather tedious and longer and b/c i was used to the previous system, i end up clicking lot more than i should.

I think it’s been long enough for us to look at that ToN debris. Please restore this lovely map to its former beauty. The lake shores are a mess, the loading screen is well…terrible. If you have to leave some remnants of the ToN there, then leave the bit in the lake itself, but clear the rest of it. I get depressed every time i go into this map, and actually avoid it.

As a side note, I have a friend who’s stopped playing gw2 over the changes made to Kessex Hills. It was his fav map and he was so upset over it he hasn’t logged in 4 months and probably won’t return.

just tried out guardian and the new bow spec and every time i used a skills alert prompt would come up on the middle of my screen obscuring my vision and ability to fight. the alert says this ability is fully trained and ready to be used.

This alert prompt is so obnoxious it’s impossible to fight and kitten this skill set properly, but form what little i could see, it suffers similar problems as the reaper. very slow, too little defense/offense abilities and way too many traps, but I’ll try it again if this prompt gets fixed in time. But in all honesty, i can’t see myself using this, especially in the maguma jungle.

Think we can close the thread, the OP has gone from “sniper OP” to “I have bad internet” nothing to see here.

Mobs aren’t OP, refreshingly you need to pay a little attention.

are u a moderator now? who are u dictating if a thread should be closed or not? OMG the people are getting toxic. I have to right to my opinion. If i think a mob is too OP then i have the right to say so and give anet my feedback. after all, i paid $100 for the privilege. if you don’t like my feedback, well that’s just too bad, no one asked you to comment here. Just b/c i didn’t mention my it latency in the fist place does not give u the right to be calling for thread closure.

But you changed your mind, when people offered solutions to the mob you responded with “I have bad internet” and so THAT is the problem not the mob design. We just need to be clear where the problem lies, your bad internet not the mob. Otherwise we give bad feedback.

well i don’t think it’s a bad feedback if i’m saying i have bad IT latency. I don’t believe Anet should be designing mobs just to cater to super dooper interent connections in US. Some of us have to play from the other side of the world. I’m not saying my IT is the sole reason, or any given thing. there were multitude of reasons, my first time playing chrono, my bad latency, my fist time playing melee mesmer etc. but as i’ve stated in above posts, no mob, especially trash mob, should be able to down u in one hit. that’s just cheap gameplay imo and no matter how much u people try to put me down, isn’t going to change my mind about that.

Vigorous Raven.1826:

I’m not an elitist, I am actually a casual player. But you are simply not playing your class properly. Simple as. Because of this reason your “feedback,” isn’t as helpful to anet as you seem to think it is

but yours is, personally attacking me throughout this thread?

yea w/ever not created this thread to argue ur elitist attitudes, did it to give anet some feedback thats all end of story,

Just wondering coz i have 2 accounts and neither has been asked to authenticate yet.

Fernling.1729:

I don’t understand threads like this. Not to be rude or anything, but this is a L2P issue. You have many tools under your belt to combat these mobs. The best being dodge, which everyone has the ability to use. All those mesmer reflects should be pretty great too.
Why even have dodging if the game doesn’t warrant using it?

I really wish Anet would find a way to make a nm/hm work.

Well u ARE being rude by using L2P to demerit what i’m saying. U don’t know anything about me, but are quick to judge, not just you but many above you. I’ve been playing since game release i know how to play, granted not familiar with these mobs yet or the tools i was using, but never the less, thrash mobs should not hit that hard regardless. And i know how to dodge tyvm. I’m sick of hearing those words from you people, as if you’re the only ones who know about the dodge mechanic doh! My problem is, i can’t react faster than the mobs coz i have huge IT latency issues, i bet u never considered that huh? If Anet wants to keep catering only to top internet connections, gw2 is gonna get empty pretty soon.

Bolbo Baggins.8594:

I think you where out at night? I was at the back of the map at night, with only one other player. Then it can get ugly, Managed too stay alive until i encountered a Mordrem Troll Champ, was a little bit to much to solo, with all the minions around him :-)

It don’t matter, day or night, there’s too many mobs. night time ofc is much worse. Personally i feel, that if this is what HoT is all about, fighting endless mordrem, sounds like a huge mob grind to me and that makes it no different than SW or Orr for that matter. I see this becoming tiresome and old very quickly, at least for me. Put it this way, i spent half an hour there and i was already bored with it. All i was forced to do during that time, is endlessly fight off large groups of mobs that spread their hideous aoe’s all over the joint, or tossed you around like a ball, even knocking u off bridges etc, when all i wanted to do, was a bit of exploring. I don’t mind having to fight mobs in an event but this place is crawling with them everywhere you go, making my experience there very tedious. bleh, i’m starting to regret pre-purchasing this expansion.

Sykper.6583:

Setting the tone, if you are running berserker, the zone will be much more damaging than you are used to. Running Glass cannon carries some risk now.

Snipers are fine.

No they’re not. snipers are fine is ur opinion, mine differs. Trash mobs should never be that op where u have to use all ur recourses to beat them, especially with the huge numbers of these trash mobs everywhere, even during the day, night time is ridiculous.

The missing V/Overs are in HoT as well, real shame that. Even the scout was silent. Laranthir’s first dialogue in the story, silent, very disappointing. My necro on the other hand wouldn’t shut up while fighting and using those shouts….

binidj.5734:

Questions of how challenging mobs are or are not aside (you want to discuss that, there are other threads waiting for your opinion) I can’t help but feel that there are simply too many of them! Mordrem tendrils are a particular pain in this regard, it seemed at some points that you couldn’t walk 5 feet without one of the things throwing little red circles at you! Somebody (probably several somebodies) at ArenaNet have worked kitten hard to create the jungle and I’d really like the chance to look at it! Fewer mobs with a lower respawn timer would be good … give us a chance to breathe and enjoy the environment! Make fights epic not annoying. I had enough of this sort of mob density in early (and arguably current) Orr thanks awfully … if I want to wade through endless mobs, I’ll head there.

Agreed, everywhere i went there was mobs everywhere, it was impossible to stand back and enjoy the scenery. with the having to watch every step due to difficult terrain and then being mobbed by mobs every second, how are we to appreciate this new zone?

tbh, i’m sick to death of fighting all the time. It would be nice to have some places where we had some more interesting non-combat stuff.

binidj.5734:

They are ridiculously OP for melee characters … almost certainly trivial for ranged.

I don’t know if that’s what it was, probably since i was trying out the shield and sword combo. I don’t usually play melee on my mesmer so not well practiced in that combat mode, regardless though, when they hit her, just one hit and she was barely alive. And no, i wasn’t using berserker gear only on my trinkets and weapons.

Apolo.5942:

This is meant to group all the Reaper feedback.

My initial PvP impressions.

1- Damage just isnt there.
2- Chill might as well not be there. The combination of slow attack speed and its very short duration unless you go all in, makes it really weak. Even going you still can not keep it up.
3- You get kited to death. Little to no mobility combined with high gap closer CDs and a lack of base +25% move speed makes it very easy to stay away from the reaper.
4- Build up mechanics are a non starter in the world of blow you up meta. The same happens with Hammer and guardian, the hammer is simultaneously their hardest hitting and most defensive weapon and you never see it because the build up required for it to work makes it a non starter. GS on the Reaper is the same, but hits softer, is less defensive and does not sinergize well with Shroud. You end up better served by forgoing everything the reaper brings other than shroud.
5- Grasping darkness needs a MASSIVE and i do mean MASSIVE cooldown reduction, Guardians have 2, 10s CDs gap closers and a teleport. Warriors have 2 gap closers on a single weapon AND bull charge. Necros have neither +25% move speed and no gap closer under 30s CDs. GD needs to be base 10s, its easier to dodge and harder to aim than any of the mentioned above.

Agree with most u said. Just tried reaper with g/s, it was like playing a necro in slowmo. Most skills looked gimmicky to me, fancy but no substance. Dmg too low, attack/movement too slow. I even used traveler runes to get some speed, they didn’t seem to do anything at all. if reaper doesn’t get major buffs, i don’t think i’ll be playing it.

These snipers one shot my mesmer every time i come across them, they need a bit of toning down imo. It’s especially bad when there’s more than one of them, it’s insta death, not fun.

Ugh i’m a bit nervous doing this mission again. I did it a few weeks ago and had the same bug where the mission stalled at the giants. So i left and attempted it again on a different day and it worked perfectly.

But now, i’m at VoD again with another char and not sure if i should wait till they fix it or give it a go. I’m a bit concerned waiting, as they might be too busy to fix this any time soon, especially with beta coming up as well.

Missing V/Overs are happening across the board. Just done numerous missions in Orr and every one of them had V/Overs missing at some point. It often happens when the cut scene dialogues first begins, but can happen any time. At first it appeared only the NPC’s V/Overs were missing, but then some happened with my character silent as well.

Did the Sentient Races mission on another character, choosing Haylek and V/Overs were missing in that mission too. This one was particularly bad. The sun champion segment i did hardly any V/Overs at all, including from my character.

Sorry, didn’t think screenshots would be of any use and didn’t take any, but I think the entire PS and Living story needs to be reviewed. Which reminds me, LS is also missing V/Overs as i’ve done quite a few lately, at least the final chapters. Don’t know about the earlier ones, but it seems other people above have found those have problems as well.

Zalladi.4652:

Looks to me like a snowflake passing across your screen as you took the picture?

No. that was long way away. Just like in the image, it was high in the sky above the moon. In fact, in my live gallery, i can zoom right in and it actually looked like the sun covered by mist or thin cloud, but it didn’t make sense for sun to be there at night.

Two moons? Looks like a sun but what’s it doing there at that time of the night lol? Btw, this was taken in Dredgehaunt Cliffs last night.

Dionosio.5168:

I apologize for making here this topic, since it probably isn’t the right place, but i really don’t know where i should ask (anyway it’s still related to gw2… kinda).

My question is: i’ve decided i want to do the achievements in gw1 that would allow me to get the items and AP of GW2. I already had an account, but since it’s still a @ncsoft, from what i understood i can’t do the linking anymore. So, if i buy another copy of gw1, with a new account etc., does it still work now, in 2015? Will i be able to link it to my gw2 account? Does anyone know?

Sorry if i made grammar mistakes, but english isn’t my first language.

I had ncsoft acct for gw1 too and was unable to link the accounts after the game launched, so i contacted support and explained my problem. They asked me for all the serial key codes for gw1 games and for gw2. Once i provided them, they fixed the problem and linked my accounts, no problem.

So i don’t think you need to buy gw1 again. Instead, i suggest u contact support as i did and explain ur situation. I’m sure they’ll fix it for you, provided you still have all the necessary key codes for both games, or at least proof of purchase.

Good luck and hope you get it sorted out.

I’m talking about stuff u have to gather and interact with for the heart quests that still remain on the maps after you’ve completed the heart. Stuff like Fallen Solider badges in Harathi Hinterlands, or Dropped Supplies in Mt Maelstorm etc.

There is lot of his kind of residual stuff laying around the maps and it’s kinda annoying to be able to still gather them even after u completed the quest but can’t do nothing with them. They also interfere a lot with being able to gather resource nodes. When u hold CTR key to highlight nodes etc. it’s hard to pick them out among the sea of of yellow names scattered everywhere. Not to mention, it’s aesthetically unappealing and mar those gorgeous areas.

There’s some inconsistency with these objects as there are other many maps where u have to do similar tasks but those object do go away after u complete the quests. So obviously, some have been missed and should be addressed as they’ve been there since the game launched. The devil’s in the detail and u guys are one the best in paying attention to detail so i’m surprised this has be left in the game for so long.

Thanks for reading this far and even more thanks for a fix.

I agree, it was really nice to hear something different and so good to boot. I sat on the log in screen for a while just so i could listen to it.

But the new reward UI has gone all muddy. The section of the interface where the rewards appear is covered in a brown, dusty layer.

I noticed the change after update to LA and i think somehow the sepia colour used in the old LA when doing PS has transferred onto the reward interface.

For eg, I got a ruby orb the other day as one of the rewards and yea, it looked tarnished like it’s covered in dust or mud, yet it looked bright and red in my inventory. If this was intentional i don’t really like it, it don’t look nice. Even the daily reward chests look all weird and dirty and are actually hard to see in some light, especially when its dark.

OMG just saw Peachy get a precursor on her beta character via MF. She was streaming it live and yep, she can’t keep it haha. Shouldn’t be laughing really, it’s kinda sad and ironic. I don’t think i’ll try it coz i’d hated it if finally got one and couldn’t keep it lol.

LOL, they should definitely let us keep precursors if we find them. Knowing my luck, i’ll probably get my first one after almost 7k hours and won’t be able to keep it (:

Yes really good idea

Let’s play the delete and create revenant game whole weekend and throw dozen of prec out of MF for 0! cost and break economy

But the OP was saying guild chat should be open for him/her to use, and if it were open for him/her to use it would be open for the rest of his/her guild as well and thus guild chat would not in fact be empty.

He’s right, sharing what we see could make for a lot of good word of mouth for the class (with the opposite also true to be fair)

Revenants can’t represent guilds, because then they’d be able to place items in guild banks, which would circumvent their current “No Trading Post/Mail” restrictions to keep them from moving items from their soon-to-be-deleted inventories into the wide game world beyond.

It’s something they might work on in the future, but right now that’s why you can’t represent a guild.

lol thats an absolutely terrible excuse. no rewards, no progression, no guild. Its like every reason for playing the game is removed.

Yea, i kinda felt lost as to what to do with the new Rev i created. Wondered through few maps for a bit, played around with the new skills/traits, but felt it pointless running around the same world we have traipsed through for the past 3 years, unable to keep anything if we kill mobs, or gather mats, see if any guildies are on etc, no progress of any kind gave me a feeling of futility lol.
