Assface.6013:

Do you mean the Transmutation Crystal from BLTC?

Yes, the “Transmutation Crystal” that you find in the “Services” tab of the Gemstore.

Meneldil.3607:

what could be the best and less expensive way to get it ?

You buy it off the Trading post.

You’ll need Fine transmutation stones to put the fractal weapon on your greatsword.
They’re not actual skins that give you the ability to apply them on other items, they are weapons with no stats.

Now I don’t know what it is about the Dungeon tokens, Badges of Honor and Fractal relics but when I right click them they have a grey “deposit collectible” option, is this something being worked on?

Also if this is indeed going to be implemented at some point, will there be a cap? From my experience the 250 cap is way too low for items like these. Some go up to 10-15 times that amount.

Doing puzzles with some people is much more fun than doing dungeons over and over or hitting boring gates if you ask me. Some puzzles are amazing in design and experience as well. I don’t really care if the Super Adventure Box is a joke, it would be awesome of course but at the moment I have a good excuse to do all puzzles that are already in game.

I possibly have a good amount of people that are wanting to transfer to a medium pop server. We are debating on 2 specific servers (not going to mention) but can we get a brief presentation of your guys’ server (wvw community, ts, any other relevant info) please?

LOL you know there’s only 2 Medium population servers on the NA side currently so why the secrecy? (Henge of Denravi is currently listed as a High population server).

Eredon Terrace
Ferguson’s Crossing
Gate of Madness
Henge of Denravi
Northern Shiverpeaks
Sorrow’s Furnace

Wasn’t there an official post listing these 6 as “medium populated”?

I am in T7, the reason we don’t have behavior like mega zergs rolling borderlands and taking turns is because we lack coordination and large guilds that focus on WvW. Currently it’s one big spaghetti of people in EB and sure people run in a very large group because suddenly a lot more people show up just for the progression aspect but I can’t say it became more fun to be in WvW.

I feel it kind of ruined World vs World. I had more fun back when we had orbs on borderlands because that one item gave benefit to all, now it’s every man for himself.

Fishbait.6723:

Been trying for roughly an hour, can`t get into any WvWs map.
Anyone else been able to?

They shut down WvW a while ago because of the upcoming update.

Bit off-topic but you might want to wait till next week if your friend is going to transfer to a medium populated server.

ColinJohanson.2394:

For the next week, all the medium population servers will be free to transfer to. Might be worth giving one of them a look!

Can’t we trade some of our PvE people for WvW-players? Gates of Madness is a nice server but very little amount of WvW guilds.

You’ll need to be at a large distance for your nameplate not to display, other than that yes, everyone can see that it’s you.

Just waiting for some official guy to say “everyone will start at rank X or Y”.

Good day Ladies & Gentlemen,

Instead of posting a rage topic about why I think X and Y about Fractals I decided to start a discussion topic about Fractals as a whole. Also excuse me for calling some fractals by mobs rather than the names they are given, it’s a habit. (underground facility fractal = “Dredge” for example)

Some things I would like to discuss are;
1 “rolling” paths before starting.
2 Fractal “skins” or weapons without stats.
3 Reward/Difficulty (higher levels more worth it?)
4 Levels 40 and higher.
5 The variety in fractals.
6 The balance per path.
7 Agony.
8 Npc vendor “rewards”

1. Rolling paths, in my experience my parties always do it and there’s nothing really to prevent players from doing it, they just want the easiest first. Example would be the Swamp fractal. In my opinion the solution would be; if a party does Fractal swamp as the first, fractal Dredge/Harpies should be inserted as 2nd or 3rd. Not as a punishment perspective but a balancing one to make each run some what equal.

2. In my opinion they are weapons without stats because I am not going to buy gems for them to get fine transmutation stones. I don’t go wild over skins so unless Arenanet makes these real skins, they rot away in my bank until deletion.
(https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Fractal-Skins)

3. Rewards for higher difficulty, I can be short about it, I don’t feel the rewards increase when doing a higher level. Chests can be found at any dragon/boss that is simply auto-attacked to death by a zerg, fractal skins (see above), ascended rings.. I only need 2 rings.
(https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/FotM-high-level-loot-How-much-better-is-it)

4. Level 40+, I can’t say much about these since I am only reward level 39 and people don’t enjoy pugging higher levels but from what I heard these are barely doable unless you run with rangers that rise from the death(?) or people with revive orbs stacks.
(https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Fractals-past-lvl-40)

5. Fractal variety, now I don’t really have a problem with it but I wouldn’t mind seeing some new ones… maybe a Skritt themed one. As long as you stay away from the karka’s.. cause I find these creatures disgusting to look at.

6. The balance, not every fractal has the same difficulty/length which can be seen in the first point, people pick swamp because it’s easy and incredibly short when done right. Dredge on the other hand is a lot longer.

7. Oh the Agony… I did Fractals on my necro till about level 16 without any agony resistance (AR) because Death Shroud can absorb the damage, I still think the whole “you must have x amount AR” is a joke for some fractals; Jellyfish & Ascalon since these bosses barely hit you with agony. The mossman usually sticks on one target. Cliffside isn’t too bad, Dredge suit is probably the best mechanic since it’s an all-hit regardless of position and you can avoid it if you pay attention to the boss. The ice one has a spot that never gets hit by the red circles. The one with Harpies is kind of acceptable as the attack follows the player but is easily reflected by guardians.

Personally I don’t think agony raises the difficulty, it’s mainly the rest of the mobs that start hitting a lot harder. Only the almost-unavoidable Maw would be a problem.

8. Normal tokens;
20 slot boxes ~ nice to get.
Backpiece, I guess it’s an alternative, already crafted one before hitting 1850 tokens.
Obsidian shard, waste since karma is so easy to get.
Skill points, probably the only reason to do FotM at some point.
Relic tokens; rings, there in case you didn’t loot them already from a daily reward or for gearing up alts but that’s about it for the usage of relic tokens.

I think you’re better off in the bug section with this one. Also send in a ticket here; https://en.support.guildwars2.com/ and put the ticket number in the forum post so it’s easier to trace for the people that will work on your problem.

Passeridae.9841:

Someone on reddit discovered that you can Forge:
- Eldritch Scroll
- Mystic Coins
- Sigils of Nullification

Can you link that?

edit; there were about 470 sigils listed for sell, dropped to ~150 now. Price started get some wings as well.

WoW, GoM. If that was one person funding all the golems i applaud you for your dedication to your server.
I was with a team of 10-15 in GoM BL when i got a call that there are 15+ golems in SM
By the time we got there you were in lord room. i basically exploded after a few AC hits on the golems.
Shame We killed them all then they left sm (well not all but the vast majority, i think maybe a few omegas escaped)
I counted 3 Omegas and 15ish alphas? but id love to hear the real number!
Thank you for the fun morning GoM (no sarcasm),

I’ve put this in suggestions a while ago but the interest didn’t seem to be there.

Tachenon.5270:

What if it was called ambient hunter (as in, hunting for food) as opposed to ambient killer (as in, killing for fun and profit)?

Fraps, by miles I think.

Well, first off; they can get badges for killing you and second would be; they prevent you from getting free siege blue prints.

I usually just run past any invaders cause it would only slow me down doing the puzzles but there’s times people like to camp/kill others, cause that’s what the zone is about eventually. If you want to be sure that you finish the puzzle, bring others with you.

The thing you should be happy about is that they removed the ability to place siege in puzzles. Besides that PvE puzzles usually have a veteran or champion mob in them so instead of having those and adding invaders isn’t all that different.

edit; if you’re new to the Eternal Battleground puzzle I recommend going to one of the hidden fountains that grands you 4 minutes stealth.

I received a reply to my ticket stating they couldn’t “fix” the already effected items so they offered me to give me a new howler if I destroyed my current one first. After destroying it, posting the time when I destroyed it (even made a video just in case) in my ticket and some hours waiting I received a new one.

Thank you CS, developers & Jason/LR-team for helping out.

Any developer around that can say “if they were able to retroactively resolve the issue for items that were already affected”?

Currently all the waypoints on our match are contested.

When loading into Eternal Battlegrounds we spawn on a wall, top left of the map.
The Stats do not show either.

All npc’s/invaders seem to be friendly as well, currently standing at the spawn with Dragonbrand invaders.

As stated in the patch notes, the Howler got fixed.

The problem is, that it is only for newly made ones (I guess) and the already existing ones didn’t get fixed at all. I send in a support ticket about it and the reply was;

“I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’ve been having with your Howler. It appears the issue you reported was not exclusive to your character and was an issue regarding the item itself. After an extensive investigation, the developers determined they might have found a fix to prevent the item from binding and were able to implement it with a small update. However, I’d be unable to say if they were able to retroactively resolve the issue for items that were already affected. If you continue to have issues with this item, if you already haven’t done so, feel free to add another post to your forum thread to let them know. "

So my question would be;
Is there going to be a solution for me? (or anyone that already made it before the patch)

Obviously I could come up with ideas like “give me a different howler” or “give me the 4 end ingredients to create a new one” but that’s not for me to decide.

(original post; https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/World-s-First-Sigil-less-Legendary/)

Reference # 130218-000733

Yes, the sigil is back in place (on the mouse over thing) but no, it didn’t fix the problem.

It still only gives me the 3 options; equip, preview, destroy.
And not the; mail to.., sell on or buy more from trading post.

It would be a very creative way of telling players what is going on, I also just hit the mail icon just to make the red circle go away again cause I can’t bother reading a lap of text that doesn’t interest me. Newspapers on the other hand could have nice illustrations and such.

Please? =D

I feel jumping puzzles are a bit underrated, there are a lot of them and there’s not really a dedicated place to discuss them. Especially with the guild puzzles coming up I think it would be nice to have a sub forum or at the very least a sticky topic.

Doing puzzles is something I enjoy a lot and I even try to do them as fast as possible (speed running) just for the fun of it, while others hassle with “making that single jump”.

always been like that from what I know…

Sam.6594:

I have the same situation occurs, please help …
[Incident: 130222-000180]

You have it with the same item or a different one?

I highly recommend doing it, sure you don’t get a rare for every 4 greens but in the end it’s worthwhile trying.. you’re not gonna sell 40 greens to buy an ecto anyway.

That’s awesome xD

Playing on the US servers (Gates of Madness) but I live and play from the EU.

reply to this thread with your ticket number so that we can ensure that your case is sent to the right parties.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

That must be [Incident: 130218-000733]

I wonder if this gets fixed or not though … assuming developers read all these threads or they just pick out what’s on their priority list?

A reply isn’t a must but it would be nice to know how long it might take to fix.

Unknown.2796:

So apparently when you craft a Legendary they have a default Sigil in them aaaaand…….. my Howler has none?

Unfortunately, looks like a legit bug…not my far more interesting theory.

Good luck with getting it fixed. I know it took a lot of time and effort.

Yeah, I hope a developer acknowledges this bug and can get it fixed cause it feel like I lost all my gold and 1000+ hours of playtime

What is this “far more interesting theory”? I could do with a good story cause I have nothing better to do now… :P

So apparently when you craft a Legendary they have a default Sigil in them aaaaand…….. my Howler has none?

I am pretty sure now that the sigil is the cause for my Howler to bug out, when I hold my mouse on it, it shows an empty upgrading slot and when I link it, it does show the sigil of accuracy.

My guildmate suggested to npc it and buy it back from NPC if that would fix it but it doesn’t even show up there in the sell list.

Pedra.4381:

Unknown.2796:

So, I crafted my Legendary few days ago, I didn’t have the gold for listing fee yet but now I have and it doesn’t let me put this item on the Trading Post. It also doesn’t let me “mail item to..” or “buy more from the trading post” when right clicking it. It is not been soulbound to any character, I kept it in my bank once I crafted it.

I did not equip it, description is still “Soulbound on use”
I do not have it in an invisible bag when I try anything.
I tried re-logging and all that jazz.
I tried putting it on TP with different Characters.
I only get “equip, preview & destroy”

In short; it is acting like it is an account bound item even though it shouldn’t be.
Can I get some help please?

This could be a legit bug, or user error, or something far more interesting.

Which Legendary is it?

Suscribed.

The Howler.

Qnopsik El Qox.1269:

Dunno if it makes a difference, but was your precursor soul-bind?

No, in fact I got the precursor as last and immediately made the Legendary when I got it.

Draeyon.4392:

If it is still in your bank when you try to sell it, that is the problem.
It has to be in your inventory to sell it.
This might be a stupid answer but its all I can think of.

Unknown.2796:

I do not have it in an invisible bag when I try anything.

Basically saying, yes I had it in my inventory.

firebreathz.7692:

did you put a sigil in there?.. cus that will make it soulbound..

Nope, been in my bank since creation.
I didn’t modify it in any way, shape or form. It’s also still “soulbound on equip” and I can move it to other characters through my bank.

edit; So apparently my Legendary bugged out and lost his sigil.
and because every Legendary has a sigil by default the game doesn’t recognize mine anymore?

Port to Fort Triniy (in Straits of Devastation), go to the asura portals and just try all 3 of them.

Just wondering, inside Stone Mist on the most north supply thing there’s this Trebuchet. Since it’s constantly firing, even when walls are down at anz; Anyone able to confirm if there’s someone using a bot/autokeyer to keep this thing firing 24/7? Just wanted to know that.

I can not imagine that you’d keep firing at something that’s not there and have fun doing so.

I… I thought I killed him?

anyway…
https://soundcloud.com/necropsy-2/necropsy-zhaitan-1 is the right link

To be honest I liked it up to 0:16 seconds cause it felt like you were actually gonna make a track with sounds of him, I know it’s just a build up but what ever came after that didn’t connect at all, I listened to other tracks you made but I don’t think the style fits it..

Personally I was hoping it would go towards “16bit – Dinosaurs” after hearing the intro but yeah.. I don’t always get what I want xD

Time to join the queue with my small necromancer :P

Had no clue where to make the screens so I figured anywhere with a somewhat natural background and some lighting would do, hope you can make something cool if you have the time for it ^^

when dye price dropped to 3s I bought like 100, opened them all and got some profit (2 or 3 valueable dyes) but at these prices I like to keep them closed. Originally started collecting them for bifrost but that staff isn’t doing that great on AH :P so probably not make that one

F1 – Superior God of Doom; just kill everything instantly within 2500-3000 range 360° around you.

Trait Traitline; Death Magic, trait; II – Greater marks,

This used to function fine for staff; (you see the correct size of the mark before casting it) this got changed in some update and only applies to Chillblains now, the #3 skill on staff. The actual marks are working as intended, they are larger but the preview/ground target just doesn’t show that.

Since this seems the place to be regarding gems and stuff;

I was wondering; with gold > gems being more “rewarding” than gems > gold
(example 1 gold = 100 gems, 100 gems = 80 silver)

So it is a lot less attractive for people to trade in their gems for gold again (when rates don’t vary that much) wouldn’t that mean gem prices will mostly rise?

Not sure if this has already been posted since it has been in the game for a while but a lot of times when I right click people in guild/friend-list etc, the only thing that comes up is “report”. No invite to party, mail and what not..

So as I tried to remove people from my block-list for example, it’s simply impossible?

any solutions?

Someone enlighten me why this is still 100 gold and not 10.000 badges of honor for example. (or anything earned through WvW)
