Hope it will eventually count towards map completion. Would be a bit weird if you don’t actually have to complete the entire map to get 100%. The whole point of new content is to expand the game, so why not expand map completion aswell?
Witch(’s) Hat makes characters look bald. The hat is cool, but this really makes it look rediculous.
-Race: Human, Sex: Female, Class (since when do we call it class in GW?): Elementalist
-Encountered it with the basic town clothes, but for as far as I’ve heard it has clipping issues with all town clothes.
-Acquired during Act 4 of Shadow of the Mad King from the Magnificent Chest. Since basically everyone that logs in during the event gets this item, I’d think fixing this item should have priority over other town clothes that have clipping issues if there are any.
Note: Added the brackets in the item name because the forum filter won’t allow it without. Seems it thinks it’s a curse word.
Btw the “zoom bug” that the MK dungeon came with was really great. I hope this is something you guys are working on because it would be nice if this was implemented. Didn’t notice any bugs (or lag) with it either so it seems ready to me. If people think the zoom was too far, just don’t zoom out all the way and everybody wins.
As I posted earlier the FoV beta itself is a real improvement, still it doesn’t hold a candle to the “zoom bug”. Keep up the good work^^
I’ve found that many items in GW2 are soulbound, even though a simple account Bound would be more appropriate. I see no point in making all these items like gathering tools soulbound. In my opinion the only thing soulbound should be equipped gear. Other stuff should be either not bound or account bound.
Another thing that is getting increasingly annoying is that the item doesn’t show you the name of the character to which it is soulbound. If I place a soulbound item in my bank, I have no way of telling to whom it belongs.
These are some features that in my opinion worked better in GW1. My other characters can’t even hold onto a soulbound item belonging to another character of mine. This is a bit odd and irritating.
Last thing I would like to see is the dye unlocks becoming account wide again. I know the dyes packs are probably an extra source of income for ANet, but I think people would be more willing to buy them if all their characters have access to it. In GW1 the system worked because there were only a few dyes in the game. Here there are so many that it’s already a task to gather them all for one character, let alone all your characters. Now every time you find a dye it’s not just fun but also a little sad because you know you can only choose one character who can use this cool new color. Especially with the rarer dyes this can be a hard decision.
Works for me! First picture is the before shot, second picture is the after shot. A first person mode would also be great but this is really a good start.
Events within the Mad King’s Labarenth also count.
Which was way faster for me. So I would suggest just entering Mad King’s Labyrinth and join the zergs. Champions and Haunted Doors there will count towards the achievement.
If you don’t think it’s fun, why bother doing it? I thought it was fun and rewarding, so I spent a few hours there until I finally made it up there.
The Clock Tower is all about experience and practice. Do it often enough and you will get the hang of it. So basically you just have to L2P :P (never used that expression before but all these complainers are starting to annoy me, so final post about this topic from me)
I would suggest asking a RL friend to help you out with this one aswell if it’s not possible with the keyboard turning. Haven’t tried it myself since I always use a combination of mouse turning and also some keyboard moving. The problem is that you just can’t make everything work for everyone sadly.
At release there was also someone asking to ANet to delete all spiders and scorpions from the game because of his arachnophobia (pretty ironic with the Halloween weapon skin). Ofcourse it’s sad if that makes it impossible for someone to play certain parts of the game, but you can’t always satistfy everyone. I know this is different because this is more about the game design, but well in the end that’s just the game you bought.
Maybe it triggers a bit random/buggy. Just glad I’m at 3/4 :P Don’t think they’ll implement it in the normal game because then they’ll have to come up with entire new PvP element every year, but who knows.
Well the things I did was
- Labyrinth (ran around the whole area basically)
- Finishing the Clock Tower
- Rumble both teams (believe one win)
- Lunatic both teams
I think characters that are too low level to complete the event cycle on their own should just wait until next year.
I had alot of fun doing it on my higher level and would not want them to kitten the events just because some people have OCD about doing the thing 5 times within this week. I have 3 characters between 6 and 22 that wont complete the memoirs this year, no big deal.
Totally agree. Those areas aren’t that difficult on lower lvls because they are all very near eachother and the cities. However if you are still unable to make it there and talk to a NPC then maybe you don’t deserve the reward either. It’s not like the game is only out for 1 week, there was enough time. If you didn’t use your time to lvl then that was your own choice. If you just bought the game, well you can’t expect to be able to participate in everything then. Completing these pages is not necessary for anything else in the entire game. They released a lot of Halloween content that doesn’t even take your lvl into account (Mad King’s Realm). So just go there and enjoy the season. All of the high lvls are also there since the pages quest is very short and easy.
My problem isn’t that it’s a different level. It’s not even Anets fault. I blame myself on thinking about it further. I expected the same company that we had in gw1. That is my own fault. Now that I know what I’m dealing with though I will just adjust my own habits accordingly.
Oh come on, now you’re just being rediculous. It’s all pretty centered around the cities and the highest area you need to get to is only 55-65, it’s not like they are sending new players strait into Orr :S Grow a pair and start running. ANet didn’t do anything wrong by making people explore the world if they want to do this part of the event. You can always go into a Haunted Door where you will find plenty of Halloween content. But still the pages are easily doable on low lvl characters.
This should not be a problem since you don’t have to fight anything to get these pages. Also, it’s not ANet fault that you are low lvl, lvling is very fast in GW2. And as others mentioned before, you could just ask someone to help you get there. Since the Act 2 book is called “Mad Memoires: Complete Edition” I don’t think Act 3 or 4 will bring new pages into the world.
Nice to find a positive thread about the tower. I also really annoyed and enjoyed myself. Only thing I would like to see changed is having a chance of looting the other Mad King’s set parts from the end chest, even if it only had a small chance.
So you basically wanted to play an old MMO, but instead you bought a new one? I’m glad they add so much different content. This way we all have a choice. If you don’t like the tower, don’t enter it. Go out and have fun in your vintage MMO way, that tower certainly won’t stop you.
It’s already way too easy to get the other holiday achievements, the one that is at least difficult and requires some practice now has to be easier? Keep it as it is, it’s not impossible. And if someone really can’t do it because they are physically unable to eventhough they can play the other parts of the game just fine, well there’s always friends then if you want the achievement that desperately.
Human Elementalist – Don’t believe it did anything to my speed inside but I already had Zephyr’s Speed
Asura Necromancer – No speed buffs
Sylvari Mesmer – No speed buffs
Charr Thief – No speed buffs
Norn Warrior – No speed buffs
A few days? I just completed that event either yesterday or the day before. It worked fine for me back then except for the trebuchets that you need to use to destroy the ship. But there is a simple workaround for that, just swim to the ship and destroy it with your aquatic skills.
I just completed Drysdan’s Event (don’t know the title anymore, but it’s near the Valley of Gwaun POI. He will transform you into one of many forms for the event. During the event if you are transformed and walk away too far from the event you will be automatically transformed back as is with all events that will transform. However if you talk to him once the countdown starts because the event is over, he will still give you the option to transform and if you transform then it will be permanent. It won’t automatically transform you back to your human form once you go too far away. I was able to walk all the way to the Infinite Coil Reactor while being transformed as a Moa.
I don’t think it could really be used as an exploit since human enemies will look non-aggro but once you come near them they will aggro you. It might give you a second of attacks less. In the beginning a normally aggro mob was invulnerable to me because his aggro’d me but his name was still green.
Also you are able to attack a few NPC’s in the area that are normally allies.
Added a screen of my Moa-self in Infinite Coil Reactor.
EDIT: The form will even stay on you if you WP travel within the same map. Going to the Heart of the Mists will end the form.
I just completed ‘On Red Alert’ (Durmand Priory storyline quest) on my Elementalist and it let me choose between three rings (the same ones the wiki states) but when I choose the ‘Potent Ring of the Berserker’ all I got was an unupgraded ‘Potent Ring’… Did anyone else have the same problem with this quest’s rewards?
Inspectation would be nice, it’s pretty annoying to link all your gear in the chat. Ofcourse their should also be a hide option.
Dueling would be fun too, also if there is an option to auto-decline invitations to reduce spam invites.
I’m starting to receive a lot of spam mail about 3rd party websites, selling their goods. I would like to see an option to either only receive mail from friends/guild members so that you never receive that spam. Other option could be a spam-box. If it’s possible to switch it on and off again it won’t limit others.
I have this issue each time with Gort, but if all players leave the cave for a short period (5 minutes maybe) the open/unusable chest closes and is usable.
I also had this issue in Lornar’s Pass with the jotun hunt, but the revealed chest was closed and could not be interacted with. After 5 minutes the chest was still closed and unusable. Event: Join Armas in hunting the jotun chieftain
The chest after Hunter Armas left is still bugged btw. It will spawn but it’s still not possible to interact with it.
Sorry everybody, but we currently have no plans to offer a stay logged in option on the forums. The requirement to log in again every so often is part of our back-end security.
But could you at least make it so that if we log in on the main GW2 website and click on the button for the forum, we don’t have to log in again? It’s pretty annoying this way.
The Stonebore Vaults DE “Retrieve the catapult parts from the centaurs.” is bugged on Far Shiverpeaks. The progress bar is stuck at around 2/3 and the NPC isn’t there to collect the parts. Been so for at least a few hours.
Exactly my point. You just end up deleting loot because it’s just not doable to carry all those different tiers of gathering tools with you on your character.
In my opinion it would be better if gathering tools were account bound instead of soulbound to one character. This way they will still be untradeable, but at least we won’t have to destroy loads of looted lower tier gathering tools because they are pretty useless to your character. Then we could just use them on lower lvl characters. Other option would be to let us sell them at merchants for coin.
I would like to see this implemented. It’s just a small thing, but on everything else that costs something you can always see the amount you have yourself, except with Waypoints. I know I can just check it before opening the map in inventory, but it would just be easier if you could see it on the Waypoints aswell.
Just a minor suggestion.
It’s just a small bug, but I believe some of the Scouts are missing on the maps. I know for sure that Fisher Dina [Scout] in Alakess Ledge isn’t on the map.
