Guild Wars 2

Desolation currently!

Celestea.4105:

Your friend got lucky, I have met people who put 71’s random exotics and level 80 rares in and got precursors on their first try. It’s purely luck unless arenanet say’s otherwise.

I know that he was lucky, but still the chances should be higher the rarer the item is right?

My guildbuddy just bought 4 Ebonblades, threw them into the Forge and got Dawn out of it. I don´t have the money and play Thief, but i guess that 4 named rares have a much higher chance to get a legendary precursor than the random exotics?

Did anyone else try throwing in 4 named exotics?

Malediktus.9250:

Dont expect too much, chance seems to be about 0,2% with rares.

0,2% for a precursor or a exotic?

Someone from SIEBEN is currently under our keep on Kodash borderlands killing all our siege and attacking the keeplord, obviously a hacker.

I just hope this wont happen on the T3 human chst armor, i would be very annoyed to spend so much money for the looks and get this bug.

Halo.8976:

Why so extremal?

Reward for escorting a donkey must be the same as the reward for killing one. It will balance current situation, where we have 10 people who want to kill donkeys and only 1 who escorting them.

Then it would be basically as before nd people abused it, i wonder if anet still comes up with something or just leave it as it is.

I got the feeling that it gets worse and worse, current matchup Desolation vs Kodash vs Seafarer in Kodash Borderlands, either we run through them killing them all without real fights or they do the same to us while we sit on a door only realising that we just got roflstomped from a invisible army.
Hackers, invisible armies, free server transfers kill the fun in WvW.

Cocobloco.4617 seems to be the hacker, seems to be a heavy armor wielder, so he probably wasn´t stealthed or anything or portaled inside.

go to http://en.support.guildwars2.com/ and report that guy please.

So we managed to get the orb from Kodash, placed it in Dreaming Bay and started the reinforcement until suddenly the Orb was placed on the opposite side in Seafarer´s Keep without taking Dreaming Bay.

Great job, Seafarer´s, way to go.

Anet, how you going to fix that? Doesn´t seem to be the first time this happened.

Yes ecatly, what happened to the event chains and random event factors. i´d really like to see that instead of staying on the same spot every 15min and hit the 1 button.

How much do you pay for a 250+ man guild?

While super lame (happened against the french from Arbrostone too), i don´t think that Anet can do something about it, what should they do, ban a customer who bought the game?

What´s the formula for the rating please? For example, Arborstone leads with 305k points, is there a chance that they move up in top tier and Riverside moves down?

I´m using this Signet since BWE1 and after 450h on my thief, i can clearly say that it doesn´t work properly.

Tooltip:
Signet Active: refill endurance and cure a condition for each nearby ally

Infact it does not cure a condition for each nearby ally. i do a lot of WvW where i´m surrounded by allies, but it does not remove all the conditions i got. It only removes one condition or (i think) in some random cases 2.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Try harder,

warrior: pop invuln, rush into zerg, pop fury might etc, whirwind attack, see people die

Eridani.8317:

Don’t really buy that Deso is losing because of nightcapping in this case. Apart from making the score difference even higher so maybe stopping people queuing. They’ve beaten us fair and square, our organisation has just been terrible. It’s easy to blame it on Canadians, about 1am the other day people start saying “Ok here starts nightcapping” but in the attacking group I saw a lot of MoS players, which I think is a French guild, so they’re just well organised.

Big influence for me in this matchup, 2 servers against one in many situations, same nation /group naturally attacks a foreign group if they have to. I´ve often seen Arbor or Augury turn against us instead of fighting each other.

But yea, night capping or a more active wvw community was maybe the main reason why we lost.

A picture says more than 1000 words, see screenshot.
EDIT: Its not the leggings that cause the problem, it´s the chestpiece.

Bodytype:
The one with the second biggest breast (sorry don´t know how else to describe it)

Coat:
Duelist type of Coats, for example Berserker Duelist Coat

Happens with every 1h weapon i equip, in that case Whisper Secret Sword and Pirate Flintlock.

Not an A bug, but hopefully some of the 3D model artist can fix it.

Thx!

So a elementalist called Martynka on desolation decided to go offline after telling us “too laggy bye” and screwed up the whole party doing Araha explo path Mursaat. The subsitution we got couldnt enter the same instance.

Thx for nothing, after the change that you only get the tokens after last boss, such things really screw you up. Please rethink that decision Anet.

we have no problems doing it, but we are all lvl80 full exotics. I remember trying it at 60, it was impossible, the burrow bug is indeed quite old, hope they fix that soon. AC explo is one of the fastest and easiest dungeons from all, it´s a walk in the park compared to Arah.

You can hit the burrow when you move from side to side, using your a and d key.

Just did it after 5+ hours of trying with some russians from Element of Storm on Desolation. She bugged out at 45% didnt disappear so we could kill her.

Anet QA, you cannot tell me, that you tested this…

Fissure of Woe must be worst server ever, i made like 10 lvls from farming then alone at game launch because they kept running and running into cannon fire at their keep.

Escorting 2 dolyaks per round = 1 Blueprint, would that be a incentive enough to protect them?

Using the word solo and ganking is completely idiotic, do you notice that?

Played til 2AM yesterday on Desolation, at around 1AM, the Arborstone numbers increased so drastically, that either those french are mostly unemployed or they live in a different timezone. Either way, it´s a lame matchup, everyone wants close matches like last week against Gunnar and Augury, this time it´s just lols like against the VS canadians.

Would be nice to get an answer from Mike or Jon or whoever is responsible for this.

I´ll make it short:

- Dolyak escort event has been removed, you said you´ll redesign it, what´s the status on it?
- Moving Lord to lower floor was a temporary fix for the arrowcart shooting through upper floor exploit, how you going to fix that?

Thanks!

Join http://tri-gw2.com, The Iron Triangle, we are currently recruiting and are the most active WvW guild. We are mostly on Augury Borderlands atm, we need more soldiers to expand to other borderlands though.

night PVEing is lame, gamedesign sucks in that part.

Well, if you allow approx 10% of your WvW crowd to ruin the game for the rest, then i assure you that WvW will fail in the long run. It´s not the individual who can only play at night. It´s the intentional guild night cappers (mostly french cowards), who ruin battles for everyone instead of having close battles.

GG everyone, this was one of the more interest matches, even though the french cheated some orbs some days ago. Desolation really got their stuff together in this match, it gets more and more coordinated on my server.

I like it not a fan of those kid “fiery, big fancy glowy shoulder” armor.

Unplayable at eu peak times 7pm cet+. Lag spikes from 1sec to over 60sec, sometimes resulting in error code and disconnects.

Server: desolation
Location: Germany
Provider: 1&1

MattChernicky.2945:

Hey all,

Sorry for the delay in posting in this thread. I assure you we are still looking into this issue.

Can those of you who are still getting error 7 let me know what country you are playing from please.

Germany.

- Server: Desolation
- 50Mbit network, everythings ok with it most of the time
Since several days i get huge lagspikes while playing, in basically every zone (Plains of Ashford, WvW, Lions Arch). Those lagspikes can take from 2 sec – over 60sec. Sometimes i still see people around running normally, while my skills won´t fire off.
My ping seems to vary between 70 – 160ms.
While opening the Resourcemonitor on Windows i also figured out that my client connects to servers in Austin Texas?
If you want to check your network satus:
- CTRL ALT DEL
- Performance
- Resourcemonitor
- Network
- Check gw2.exe
→ check data in TCP connection
Why do i connect to a server in Austin while playing from EU and playing on Desolation?
I only get those lagspikes on peaktimes, if i play in the morning or late night, it doesn´t happen.
EDIT:
Another lagspike, this time i got disconnected with the errorcode 7:11:3:189:101

Jim Travakh.7495:

While I can agree with that sentiment in some ways, is it intended for the first run of any given explorable path on a day to yield anything other than 60 tokens? Because that was a bug many of my groups encountered with inconsistent rewards on completion.

What we’re seeing in a lot of these cases, is that players actually have beaten the path the day before, so they aren’t getting the first run bonus of the day, since it hasn’t rolled over yet to the next day (the rollover happens at 5pm pacific time).
For instance:

-It’s 10pm at night, you beat CoF Magg chain. You go to bed.
-Patch happens at Midnight.
-Wake up at 8am. Log in, get new patch.
-Run Magg’s chain, see diminished returns.

In that case, the new ‘day’ hasn’t rolled over yet because it’s not 5pm. So you get hit by the diminished returns.

Not saying this is the answer to ALL cases, but it has proven to be the answer of many of the cases. After 5pm today, when everything is rolled over, we’re hoping to see things settle out with the DR system.

My Opinion: the day should roll over at the same time we push patches. I’m going to talk to someone about this…

Ok if that´s the case why people get wierd tokens, then give us a timer somewhere!

Robert Hrouda.1327:

The system is not intended to punish players who manage to beat a chain very quickly through their skill. But if that group then decided to start speed clearing that path, it’s supposed to diminish their returns.
It’s use is as more of an insurance policy against future exploits or bugs.

It is currently not our plan to outline how the DR system works, because doing as such provides those intending on exploiting the system with bits of information they could use to circumvent it.

Then your system is borked, people are superkitten about dungeons and you dont realise it.

YOu said in the patchnotes, that we can run every path each day and get 60 tokens, but obviously we cant because there is a mysterious diminishing return…

Why did your QA didnt find that bug out?

great idea, i like it!

Robert Hrouda.1327:

Diminished Returns system.

do you care to elaborate?

in the patchnotes it say i can run the whole dungeon and get 180 tokens, 60 per path, what has this to do with diminshing returns? Seriously, tell us exactly how dungeons work now, it´s frustrating!

Since the last days (probalby since 2 days) i get massive lag spikes in crowded areas like WvW or yesterday in plains of ashford, it´s unplayable. lag spikes appear in short distances, character moves, no reaction on input, then suddenly fires off the skills i pressed 2 seconds ago.

Desolation, from Hamburg Germany.

lol wut? it wasn´t a grind before?

Be happy that you could ener, we cant even enter because of the different instance bug…which returned.

Which dungeon

- Arah explorable mode

If you are joining through the pop-up dialogue or by walking up to the entry point
- both ways do not work

How many people in the party tried creating the instance
- atleast 2

Any other details you can provide
- Happened after todays patch.

The new change is faster than the 8 tokens you get from 15min runs…

- hacking orbs and fly away with it with a hack
- using the commander exploit to gain number advantage
- killing keep lords even though they are not inside the keep
- capping the map at night with their “canadian” or french unemployed forces

that´s what vizunah stands for…

Xetelian.9278:

Jon could we also get the costs of items down a couple 100 tokens please?

You asked so nicely, but how about we just give out more tokens instead?

sounds good, this and the speed farm fix should actually help doing full dungeon runs instead of that stupid farming.

Err……….wut?
