Guild Wars 2

Curtis Johnson.8456:

The endless tonic will grant the appearance of the clothing it replaced. (along with some appropriate complimentary pieces so you’re not naked). They are new tonics, not existing ones.

Only one tonic can be used at one time.

There will be no town-clothes swap any more.. so you won’t be switching to naked.

So they can’t be dyed…

Losing town clothes is really disappointing… It is lost functionality. I used to play endlessly combining the festival costumes, starting town clothes and the pieces I bought.
Now dyes will happen (I never used them) but these clothes will be gone.

I hope you will offer gem refund for every piece of town clothes I bought. I got them for the combinations, not being restricted to one item or a full costume at a time.

Sonia.7910:

And on a side note, they say the other costumes will be considered a “single outfit”? Again you consider them just props for costume brawl? I likes to combine my Winter outfit pieces with my riding pants! And I would have liked to combine the pirate outfit pieces even more (like wearing the pants or the shirt apart). If you make them a single item, they will become useless again ;_;

I feel exactly the same about this. I didn’t get the costumes only for the costumes. This change is really disappointing.

The wardrobe really is whatever to me, it’s not something I’d use.

Town clothes… the pieces I got: riding clothes, khaki shorts, shirts, a vest. Loved them. And the mix and match aspect with the festival costumes.
Gone. Not “whatever,” not “fine.”

In general, what of toys/costume brawl system?

I got my remade characters some clothes. <3

How they came to be: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/lore/sylvari/Kristen-you-re-the-best/3776257

I’m not liking the high level requirement.
Or the hunting aspect. I know they can be bought but just don’t like that either.

I’m sulking.

I like the reset being free. Not sure if that will console me any the situation being what it is.

…I have so many characters. So many.

So happy. I have wanted to makeover my first sylvari characters for ages but kept using all nice options for other characters. Now however they got to grow up! A bit. They’ll get more attention from now on.

And can’t help but add more screens, loving the short hair especially and those idle animations can be amazing. <3

Another edit – in the sylvari thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/lore/sylvari/Screens-of-your-Sylvari/3786874

Edit: Oh I would’ve loved to change a male character to the new ponytail one but that one just doesn’t do Peach Sunset properly. Ah well.

Since miniatures can’t run as fast as players and randomly teleport to keep up, Scarlet miniatures should get her teleport animation. <3

I loved her from pretty much the beginning. And properly heartbroken now.

Aw shoot. There goes my dream. I wanted to make ALL backpieces and TM them to the level 20 fine ones so that I could wear them for looks with any character. But no. Well, at least I don’t have to worry about the cores anymore. Or… reaching a fun goal one day.

Three elementalists and one engineer.

Guardian seems to be next, currently at 58 of which about 20 levels were gotten in LA recently.
I don’t really like playing a guardian but he’s always been the highest level character on that account and picked up when needed for (being thrown at) something. Reason he exists at all is the sylvari cultural T3 helm. <3

Rest of the family for scale: 39 39 38 30 30 27 27 27 27 23 23 21 21 21 21 13 11 and many at level 2. 47 character slots in total over three accounts.

I’d like a shorter range.

Also the constant announcement of /dance, /cry, /sit etc… I don’t like that. :/
I’d like a way to not have the text at all if I want to sit down. Means that I don’t now, and my poor characters have to always be standing around. If they want to rest or I want to watch them dance I feel like I have to go to home instance or similar so that I don’t spam.

Taygus.4571:

MithranArkanere.8957:

I have bag full of junk. So it’s highly likely that they will stay.

So far the only Living Story item that has been destroyed is the golem summoner from the last Halloween. Using it after halloween just deletes it.

I wish they did the same to all these items with no purpose. So I can know they have no use by double clicking them. I’m not deleting them otherwise.

I agree actually.
I feel bad if I have to destroy something. like it “might” be useful for something sometime XD.
It would be nice if at the end of an event, they gave everything a vendor value, so you gain something from them ):

I don’t agree. I keep stuff purposely as keepsakes. Going from Flame&Frost trophies to tri-color and cypher keys. The usable items are not for use. ^^
/sane

But I don’t expect blade shards (or anything else much) to just disappear. I’m half expecting them to stay available in some form but this is just guessing. I wanted several thousands to slowly (over months/years since I don’t even have maxed crafts and I refuse to buy stuff from TP) create the backpieces. My only problem is that I can’t get enough of them if they aren’t available after the patch. ;_;

Kal Spiro.9745:

Traced.3495:

I’m still more impressed with the overflow that was my first 1200, they even had time to spare. But Piken did great yes.

Most of the overflows I’m in, since I rarely get into TC, make 1200. The one I was in last night was the first I’d been in for a week that didn’t. It was also right after one that did, so it doesn’t really mean anything. I really wonder when these repeatedly fail Overflows are occurring. Maybe it’s a timezone thing.

Just removed my post since it was more “Piken, yay” than the topic, and didn’t notice the reply before I did.
I haven’t managed to see 1200 on overflow again after that with few tries. So I just started to go later on purpose to collect heirlooms and admire the scenery.

Farmers could go to the city later, at :15 or :20. They could still farm. >.>

I mostly want the 1200 reward from the event even though I want those blade shards badly as well. I hope shards are still available next week because I just can’t get them with all these citizens to save…

I also got into this too late, struggling with heirlooms, even more with blade shards. And I would like to know.
I hope so badly that shards would still be available since the enemies might still be the same pretty much.

But how about heirlooms?

I like the items as they are. In inventory. There’s this feel of preparing for a journey when I choose what items I want to bring with me today.

I was also wondering if the airship will always stay on the current location. It just could go to the city in case we ever get one back. I was wondering before airship if we eventually will have a VIP location in all cities.
If it stays in Gendarran… that location might be pretty boring afterwards. :/

…If it follows updates to new locations… that should be interesting.

I had this while ago, for two days I was thinking I’ll complete the achievement with this daily, didn’t happen. Before that I wasn’t paying too much attention to it so I don’t know if the dailies added or not.

And today the same just happened with the nightmare achievement for the day. :/

I haven’t really read this thread, only skimmed few pages. I have few things that may or may not be related to anything…

1. I’d love love love player housing, but I don’t currently have any thoughts about it. But since it seems to be talked about a bit, I’ll start waiting for it. :P

2. Unlock quests bother me to no end. I’m thinking back to the structure of Final Fantasy XIV as it was at lauch and as it is now: Even game mechanics apparently need to be unlocked with some errands ran around. I can’t stand it. I’m only throwing this here since I see discussion about questlines or similar for housing and other things…
I guess this goes for things like faction ranks and such.

3. Underflow servers… (I saw this few pages back) I’d rather be on my server.
I don’t care about events. I enjoy peace and most definetely don’t need to see a lot of people around, in fact I like to stay away from hordes of people and it is not only because of my poor slideshow machine that otherwise does pretty well. I don’t like being demanded things and for some reason I have this idea that people do that.
If that kind of system gets implemented don’t force us on them.

4. Tiered utility skill have always bothered me, and I wish so much that the tiers would not exist and that I could get refund of unwanted utilities I have had to get to reach the next tier.
(I have a lot of characters of my most favorite few classes)

I don’t fight that much and never around big groups so I haven’t noticed the combat lag but I certainly have had a lot of disconnections and rubberbanding. Tried to play couple of hours ago, mainly to sort my inventory in Rata Sum, and constantly being sent back to character select, and even wasn’t able to log in at one point.

This dc-fest has been going on for last couple of days at least (I have played a lot during these). Maybe more, I can’t really remember and I might not have been playing that much.

Very frustrating. :/

I wonder what is becoming of our town clothes and/or the system that I like, and if something will some day happen to the ones I am planning to buy now if I can get over the dislike of this move some time soon-ish. Nine hours soon-ish.

(I have been grinding for gold to buy gems all day… /sigh. Still not enough. Back to grind… At least I can use the gifting discount with my two accounts. >:D … ;_;)

I noticed sylvari eye colors are completely off with one of the new faces in the makeover kit. Thistle is a yellow color, red blue and so on. At least with the female one.

The notes say they will be back now.

Looks to be so. I hope this is fixed soon.

The exploding presents…

Frustrated to tears. That’s me.

The puzzle was so enjoyable last year.

Anyway, I am slowly getting the hang of it… I just don’t like it, anymore. PvP setup makes everything uglier. :/

I’d like to know as well.

The category really is long and clutter-y… I would hope that they separate the town clothes and armor skins…

But why remove?

I don’t have much interest in ascended, and I have only recently began upgrading from masterworks/rares (buying exotic armor and weapons).

I generally like crafting but not in this game. :/

Only exeption might be jewellery once that gets updated. It is the only 400 craft I have in both of my accounts. And even then, ascended might be out of my reach material-wise. There’s lot of stuff in the game I don’t simply care to do and the materials just might be behind such things.
I am waiting for the update at any case before making any exotic jewellery. :/

I’m not sure how I feel about ascended overall.

I’m not an english speaker (or much a listener :P) but the harpies to me always scream “Blasphemy!”
Might just be my idea of how the word sounds.

Fort Trinity seems to have a problem with a nearby prison shark. O.o

Clever stealth bumping…

At any case, I take issue with automatic miniature summoning which is something I often see. Let people at least do some work for their shiny display. And do we need to have every other person dragging random thing with them without possibly themselves not paying any attention to the mini after a while? All… those… accidental… targets…
I also don’t much support the idea miniatures being else than items in inventory. Like a tab in hero panel for them.

I do wish they kept up with me when I run. Even my no run speed characters leave them behind. With my eles, I often stop to wait for them. ;_; I feel so bad and it’s the main reason I leave them unsummoned. I love to have them around if I’m standing around for a while in a lonely location and tend to always keep some with me. But running again? Go back to the bag, little minis.
Then there are some that seem to keep up. But those run away when I try to park my character next to a miniature. Though the only specimen I have is Mini Twisted Nightmare, I don’t know if other series two ones do this or if only for example twisteds. The behaviour change is bit jarring. It looks bit cool with the one I have, but… don’t like it, yeah.

I… agree with OP about minigames, and that all minis should be tradeable.
And if not Rytlock, then at least make him reclaimable. Mine is now grounded. It’s just not safe out there, something might happen.
(I have already once seen the “Are you sure you want to destroy <this item>” dialogue when I dragged him back to storage since right clicking is too dangerous with the destroy option and I accidentally dragged him outside of some border. The horror. He hasn’t gotten out since.. ;_; Yeah, I doubt Rytlock himself would approve… Other one time minis get moved to a normal bag and deposited with the all option if I want to sort my inventory or have some other character keep them.)

There has been suggestions for an “use all” right click option for stacks which would just as well do if not better.
Of course that brings the problem of accidentally using items and all that. :/

I just wish there would at least be some sort if International guesting server if at all possible.
I seem to recall reading that Guild Wars used to have restrictions on regions, and International districts existed for that reason.
I also recall reading that it would take too much data sending all over the place (<- there’s proper terms for this that I just don’t know) when guesting to other regions which is why this restriction is place, so I don’t know if the International server would be any more doable.

I like Scarlet quite a bit.

Then would be Marjory. I missed her first appearance, I actually barely knew she even existed until months later, but I just adore her now when I met her with these tower updates. Nearly everything she says is awesome especially with that voice of hers. O.o
I think she’s just my type.

Who else are there? Hm… Reading this thread: I have never met Canach. I skipped all the southsun updates, I seem to have not even read about them or checked videos. Skipped Kiel’s updates mostly as well.

I… really never cared very much about Braham and Rox. They just sort of… are there. They do have some fun lines though. I think I may have missed some updates with these as well.

I don’t think I have met that many characters. :/
I tend to skip an update very easily if it seems unreachable and just read about it later. (Currently skipping Fractured)

I don’t agree.

Let people choose if they want luck or not.

I’m still upset about the MF change and want nothing to do with it now. So I would not appreciate having luck forced on me.

My personal guilds are back, my accounts show up on the list, guild bank works fine, and even log in reputation from the characters that repped the broken guilds during the outage has appeared.

EU player on EU server (so it is not only the ones in NA), 2 of my 5 personal guilds for my own accounts have this.
Both guilds are the only ones with guild storage, but one of the working ones has an upgrade (for the storage when I have enough influence).
The storage I have showed up when I checked.

Shocked me, first time I notice this though I have heard of this. Odd that it seems to happen regularly.

edit: I checked storage again, I can’t take things but I can still see them. I can also Preview them, if I wanted to see how a stack of silver looked on my character… There was no effect, sadly. (I don’t know how it has behaved previously. :P)

And further experimenting shows that directly switching from working guild to non working one inherits the guild chat of the working one.
I had both in, say, guild 3, switched one directly to guild 4 and 5 that do not work, sent something to chat and the one in 3 saw it and the other way around. Guild switcher never changed from guild chat even if he’s Online (Not Representing), and his tag shows him being in guild 4 and monitoring the guild storage he can’t get stuff from.

If I’m not repping and then try to rep and chat I get that I’m not in a guild.

Occassionally the guild tag disappeared. I was staring at my characters in a broken guild, one having Character Name [], other Character Name [tag]. Kind of funny but terrifying at the same.

My login rep seems to also have gone somewhere when I tried to rep the non-working ones before a working one. (I had none used for the day when I started watching this stuff)
If it shows up when the guilds start working, I notice.

Party and friends list seem to work normally for me.

That image (or those images?) must make an amazing wallpaper. I need it. /waits patiently

(never done fractals and never will but the image looks pretty.)

This reminds me. I want to salvage cinnamon for bloodstone dust!

Some updates seem to last two weeks, some four weeks. So yes, it would be pretty good.

I care.

I always look forward to the new living story update. I can’t wait for the patch during patch days.
As for doing the content… I am really selective what I want to do in game. I spend time wondering if I start this achievement can I complete it? It can take me couple of days to start since I have to figure out what I have to do…
I have skipped several LS updates on purpose. So I plan things out, and work for the ones that I want to complete. I love the daily achievements that count for them.

Anyway, I find it interesting. The stories are ok, rewards from achievements keep me running. I’m not sure what I would be doing without LS updates, it’s been going on for so long that it is in my normal routine. When I’m skipping an LS update, I seem to be gathering to sell, to buy gems, to buy some shiny from the TP…

I agree!

I don’t even want to use emotes now outside of instances. (I feel like I have to go to home instance if I want to /dance)

I’d like silent emotes, just for the scenery or such. In Guild Wars the * (like in /dance *, /cheer * /guitar *) would not broadcast the emote, and in another game I saw an additional command (/dance motion) that didn’t show up the text at all.

There was a person who was constantly dancing and I took them out of my ignore only after they had apparently left the game completely. :P

And the emote range could be shorter as well.

I’m with the people who love this silver doubloon situation.
I really hate to part with anything but the gold is too good. When doubloons go down again I still have to get them so that I have a pile of them like I had before I started selling mine. :/

As a side product I have a lot of level 20 armor and weapons stored for the many, many characters who will get the level 20 scrolls. <3

The song is awesome. Now if I could only find it from the soundcloud where I understood it should be, I can then add it to my nearly nonstop playlist with the holodance beats and the occassional The Great Toymaker and Hillbilly Hoedown.

…I could just find the information of how long this LS chapter will last. I’m at 7/14 and want to rely on the dailies… I’m suspecting it is for four weeks but if I could only know for sure.

Is the creature with Scarlet new or is it just something in the game that I have never seen?

Oh hello, new desktop wallpaper. <3

Scarlet… The first cutscene didn’t immediately impress me, it worked slowly and clumsily (engine limitations?) and some of her lines in it weren’t the best of her.
She then got better. Her lines, especially what little I saw of the playhouse (I watched a video afterwards since I didn’t beat it and it was seriously funny) were lot better, and what she is doing is interesting me. The short story kept me reading over and over again. What wassssss it…?
I do like her a lot.
(I see a mystery and I love mysteries)

I…certainly don’t much care to read some seriously hurtful comments that are in this thread.

Living Story
…It is impossible for me to keep up with the thread, even with the dev tracker, even if I’m pretty interested about others’ take on the LS. So I haven’t been really reading the thread.
I am also no writer… or english speaker. (Owww) I just need to complain, err, say something. I completely expect to be hurt with upcoming changes and I suffer already. -_-

At any case, I have been somewhat liking the living story.
Things happening keeps the game interesting to me, and I always look forward to the announcement of the next one and the patch days.
It is not a problem for me that it keeps going to places and being about different people, and things like SAB and halloween being in between.There are other things going on the world outside of the dragons, and it is good to see that. I want to see different things.
I’m also glad about the difference with the personal story and living story, one not requiring the other (I have seen calls for combining them for example), and the account wideness of the LS is rather comfortable. As is the chapters being somewhat self-contained.

I have been happily doing the achievements for the LS chapters I have found interesting. And I have also liked the story stuff being fairly light for each release. It is certainly not moving too slow for me… I am not really fond of doing too much of story heavy stuff in too little time, having to run around the world for story instances.
Neither do I like “high end” fighting, not for one bit. Including boss zergs. I prefer the fluffier achievements over these.

Ones I did like and ones I did not
This halloween update was great. To get one achievement item (candy corn mini <3) mid story was made pretty well. Though it was worrying me that it was unreachable without the dailies. I love the fluffy dailies for easiness since… I can play daily, but for others it might be rough… I was worried for others, what realm is this? :P
It was also short and sweet. Haha… sweet. * cough *
It felt very contained, instances being in one location. Bloody Prince was also just awesome.

Another I really liked was the Zephyr Sanctum one, but I didn’t really find the political background interesting. I skipped the election completely.

I have skipped Twilight Assault for the chapter being built of everything I don’t want to do. As was Teq. These two would be my choices for chapters I did… well, I did not hate them. I just saw them as unreachable for me.

I skipped the return of SAB because I was supposedly so busy with other things in game, I did want to go there though. I have also skipped the summer festival, and all Southsun things, not wanting to play that much at the time.
That is, ahem, almost all of them? Whoops. Well, I was already skipping Jubilee when it changed to Clockwork, but for some… unknown… reasons I jumped in at that point. I followed the story and achievements, got my rewards, and was fairly happy.

Short Stories
I have absolutely loved the website stories. I’d actually read the LS in novel form if I had the choice. :P
A concern is that people are driving the background bits in game in form of flashbacks or as in one case I once read, some kind of telepathy. Just… keep my characters normal and having to deal with the info that is available in game world. Background stories are for the players. The game has been doing that really well as far as I have seen.

150 euros… Twice, since my accounts are (nearly) identical. I’m not sure if I wanted to know this, but I was curious. :P

Each account has 20 character slots, 6 bank tabs, several costumes, fluff things, makeover kits…
Many, many gems have been bought with gold as well.

(An oddity are the boomboxes, I basically gathered the gold for these and bought only one for each account. Hurts the perfectionist mind, but I just wasn’t able to grind more gold)

Nretep.2564:

Just active ingame clock at server time.

Ah yes, that is true. I just tend to rely on it for my local time… Of course I can try this, it would be a constant reminder and help me to, well, remember.
Hm… I hope I could see both times. At least I don’t think there’s an option for that in game.

I know where I am in relation to GMT, but I don’t even know american timezones (all I know there are several, and if you named a city or a state I could not place it on the map. :P).
It is always a pain to try to determine when things might happen. I try to use conversion websites when something is going on and often I have to hunt down the acronym as well… I forget them, it is rare events I follow happen around the world. And my cell phone and other gadgets like to have time by cities, when things are posted under completely different names.

Some day I mean to put a time zone map as my desktop wallpaper. I haven’t looked for one yet…

But yes, please think of us not math and geography gifted (yes, my teachers told me so) people on the other side of the big water. Or maybe it’s just me.. well, would someone please think of me. ;_;

Aerin Dark Water.6283:

I can’t figure out what you are saying.

But to answer, yes, the Mask of Night IS the intened reward for the FIRST time your character plays Mad King Says, however, after that you are suppose to get treat bags of up to 25 if you get every one of the “Mad King Say” correctly (there’s 18 of them).

Oh, I was just worrying I was doing something wrong, that I wasn’t supposed to collect several masks. And of course I didn’t think of the wiki, just reading the things from gw2 website. I also missed the first bug with no masks, it was patched before I played the event.
…Well, I doubt it is a terrible crime for me to use the same characters for getting the masks (I happily did since I didn’t feel like switching). >.>

I suppose this event explains why I had so many ToT bags from last year. I couldn’t remember getting them anywhere, but I remember now that I did do the event with different characters to get several hats and may have just collected the bags after that.

>:D

(Nah, challenge not accepted. Some day I’ll have the time, energy and inspiration for my third account. Some day…)

Hm. I certainly hope the mask is an intended reward, instead just one time ever thing, since I have kind of been collecting them. >.> I have 4 now, I’d grab more if I still get the change.
The page for the event doesn’t seem to have that detail.

(as opposed to the detailed description of the clocktower reward… it will forever stay unopened for me. One time rewards…)

After I deleted the gw2cache, I got similar results as pandasinpajamas did. Before it was just blank screen like the OP has.

This happened only on one of my computers. Right now I’m thinking it is always the same one. It is such an usual thing that I haven’t really given it much thought. Like I posted earlier it has just started to work after a while before…

Well, this time I tried the things posted in this thread. New local.dat did not do any difference. There is no entry for awesomium process in my firewalls on either computer. Now. There was one from a gw2cache folder which I removed just now, on the computer that doesn’t show the TP. I doubt it had anything to do with this.
I removed GW2 from the firewall list, and let it get new permissions. I will not disable the firewall though.
But still nothing.

Something I tried was to rename the existing gw2cache on the working computer and let it recreate it. Works without any issues.

I’m thinking there’s just something on the borked computer that doesn’t agree with stuff that easily. TP has worked without issues earlier though, I think last time I used it was two days ago. I can’t say for sure the problem started happening after the last update but it is very recent.
GW2.dat was repaired few weeks ago (there was no problems but just did it to be sure, for moving it to new SSD) and I just tried an older gw2.exe I found and let it update, that didn’t do anything either.
I haven’t tried copying the game files over from the other computer… yet.

Behellagh.1468:

Traced.3495:

2%.

I don’t like the magic find update.

What? You didn’t get your 20% luck startup kit email?

Oh, I did. It is still in the mail. If I have to get it from there sometime, I mean to destroy the item.
I am sulking, you see. :/

I got this too, with the update I think. I deleted the temp files and now I’m seeing some things trying to load in the tabs, still not working.
This also only happened to one of my computers. On the other one TP works fine.

Well, this has happened before as well, and TP has started to work after a while. :/ I’m not sure if it has always been the same computer.
