Guild Wars 2

Any way of baypassing these trolls? “F” opens the vendor no matter where I stand and clicking doesn’t work.
I really wish they made it easier to target stuff in general.

Wouldn’t giving us an option to turn off effects in our options menu, or only see our effects solve this issue? Like even if they kept legendary effects, it would still be much better.

I put 4 random rares in the mystic forge, I received “Dire Ceremonial Stave of Accuracy”. I put in 4 more random rares and it yielded exactly the same item. In a row. What were the chances? Did it happen to anyone else?

For the note, I’m not complaining. It’s nice to get 2 exotics in a row.

Hand on boob = NSFW

B…but it’s still a hand on boob, only the boob is slightly more covered.

Please bring back this version of orrian heavy armour set for females. I don’t know why it was changed, but this looks better imo. The change sort of ruined this armour for me. I don’t really understand why in the world of fanservice armours, this one is too much. We have side-boobs, under-boobs, whatever-boobs, but this one is gone. Why? Please consider it.

Okay, thank you.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Light_of_Dwayna
It mentions 3 disciplines: Leatherworker, Tailor and Armoursmith.

Will it unlock only one of 3 skins depending on which discipline I will craft it on? For example, if I make it as Armoursmith, will it only unlock heavy armour option for Light of Dwayna?

Thank you kindly for your kittenery, I appreciate it. I was simply asking if that’s the case. It’s good to know it’s not. I think you guys took the whole asura roleplaying a bit too seriously.

If multiple people noticed rares not yielding nearly as many materials, I’m pretty sure it’s something more than “bad RNG”.

In other words – sell all your rares on TP. Thanks guys.

Lately I’ve been very unlucky with salvage kits.
Using Black Lion Salvage Kits on rares, I received 3 Globs of Ectoplasm out of 6 rares.
Using Master’s Salvage Kits yesterday, I received 2 Globs of Ectoplasm out of 8 rares.
Today I had a similar result, not yielding any Globs of Ectoplasm from 5 or 6 rares using the Master’s Salvage Kits.
Have the kits been nerfed?

Gankiskhan.4671:

I logged into my other account which I did not purchase HoT on and I have no issues at all. I have not seen this mentioned in the thread yet.

Because it’s irrelevant. I don’t own HoT, yet I crash a few times a day, usually while participating in Vine Wrath.

I keep crashing at vinewrath nearly every try.

I’ve been crashing in Silverwastes for the past 3 days. It stops me from completing Vinewrath. Usually happens right before the choppers land. Please fix this.

Guys…please fix this already.

Thanks. Except in my case, both of these files caused a crash.

If you’re getting crashes, delete everything in your GW2 folder other than the DAT file and launcher.

Launch the game which will generate the missing files and bin folder giving you a clean fresh working installation.

Download ReShade/SweetFX here.

Extract the download and run ReShade Setup, select the GW2.exe / GW2-64.exe (if it says game unrecognised select Directx3D 9 option.

SweetFX is now installed. To make changes edit the “SweetFX_settings” file inside the SweetFX folder. Rememebr if using a profile from SweetFX 1.5 or below you’ll probably need to manually change your options in this file as the presets have updated in version 2 (takes about 2 mins)

As I said, it works. The fix is in my first post. What you said about those files being in bin folder is also in my post. I have no idea if you even read my words at all. xD

Brullyra.1592:

d3d9.dll , dxgi.dll and injector.ini MUST be in either bin or bin64 folders to work.

Thanks. Except in my case, both of these files caused a crash.

I’m mostly making this thread for me, in case I forget how to do it. (Happened once already)
It’s possible that there are people like me who had hard time figuring out how to get it to work. This is a foolproof way of doing it, so it’s possible that some of these steps are unnecessary.

1. Download Sweet FX.
2. Extract it into your Guild Wars 2 folder.
3. Extract again “just in case” into your bin folder. (Guild Wars 2/Bin)
4. Download the preset you like, preferably something shiny to make sure it works.
5. Open the preset you just downloaded (.txt file) and copy its contents.
6. Go to your Guild Wars 2 directory again and open “SweetFX_preset.txt” file you extracted earlier.
7. Paste the contents of downloaded preset into that file and save.
8. Repeat with “SweetFX_preset.txt” file you extracted into the bin folder and save.
9. Open the game to see if it doesn’t crash.
10. If it does crash, remove one of the two files located in your bin folder and check if it works. It’s either “d3d9.fx” or “dxgi.fx”.
11. Everything should work. If it doesn’t, I probably can’t help you.

I don’t see my friend on the Gemstore Gift list when I try purchasing a gift. She already has HoT so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t display her ID. And yes I checked several times.

I see a lot of joke proffessions, some of them are surprisingly good too. I just wish that their authors took the contest a little bit more seriously, even if it’s just for fun. That way, they could come up with really amazing ideas for more immersive stuff.

Danikat.8537:

Free accounts can whisper other people. They are limited to whispering people in the same map as them (or mutual friends) and starting 1 new conversation every 30 seconds, but they can do it.

And if you whisper them first then the once per 30 seconds limit doesn’t apply – they can whisper back to you and start a conversation with someone else immediately.

Oh, I didn’t realise that. Thanks.

Please give us an option to enable being whispered to by people who are new to the game, but have free accounts. It would work like a filter. I often try helping new players, but since free account owners can’t use neither map chat nor whisper other people, they can’t really ask for help.
Thanks.

Archon.6480:

Nature’s Vengeance changes everything. This is an elite that really flips the tide of battle! One third of one stack of might per second is just, wow. Pop this sucker and your opponents will have to turn and run or stay and smash your face into the ground.

Not sure if you mean it or if you’re really sarcastic. XD

Either way, I hate the way they’re limiting players. Traits like moving spirits are the kind of traits that would make the game more interesting. Meanwhile they’re being removed. =(

Why did they remove Ranger’s trait which allowed spirits to follow him?
Just why? Was it that overpowered? I actually really liked it. It doesn’t make much sense to limit players like that. Some of these decisions I just don’t understand.

I get you. After they changed it I couldn’t unlock another achievement chest for ages, just because I didn’t want to do PvP. I kind of feel bad for people who have very limited time and struggle to get what they want. Let’s be honest, PvE dailies are really unpleasant to do. (Does anyone actually enjoy these “complete 4 events in this specific area” quests?) It kind of messes with new players trying to complete these as well, limiting their options to PvP and WvW which they might dislike.
I’m not sure why was the system changed in the first place.

I wanted to write a really long semi-negative comment, but I feel like you wouldn’t care. Please bring SAO back. It’s been ages. Thanks.

I felt like SAO had a pretty satisfying first season, the second season not as much so. It’s a pretty good analogy to SAB.

SAO was pretty meh to me in both seasons. SAB was fun to me in both seasons.

I wanted to write a really long semi-negative comment, but I feel like you wouldn’t care. Please bring SAB back. It’s been ages. Thanks.

The only similar thing between these things is the helmet. I have in mind something more subtle. Draconic armour is just another spiky armour. (But yes, it has a pretty nice cape)

Please add armour from Diessa Plateau loading screen into the game. I’m not sure what’s the story behind it, but I really love the looks. There aren’t nearly enough “caped” armour skins, especially for heavy classes. If there was an option to wear it as an outfit, it would be perfect.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Skill points were split in two. They became hero points and spirit shards.

Spirit shards: from the old scrolls of knowledge. They are now in your wallet as a currency and used to buy items from Miyani for the mystic forge

Hero points: from leveling to 80 and doing the old skill challenges, now hero challenges. Used to buy skills and traits.

.

Thank you. All is clear.

What happened to them? It seems like they just dissappeared from my bank.

As an engiee using a rifle, I can stand at point-blank range to my target, facing him and it will still treat it as a failed shot. It punishes me with a cooldown(3-4s) too.

Overcharged Shot is really useful on Silverwastes whenever I see a teragriff preparing to charge at me. However, this skill failed me many times now and I hope it gets fixed.

I’m a bit lost here. What are those? Why are they annoying?

Thanks guys.

As for the armour parts, I already have nearly all 3 sets without repeating the story, but thank you.

Even though I already finished the Living World Season 2 on one of my characters and unlocked both Dry Top and Silverwastes, I’m still not sure about how it works. Will I lose anything by simply choosing another character to go to the Silverwastes? Is there anything that’s locked that will unlock only if I finish the story again?

I’d really hate to do the entire thing all over again. (It’s not that entertaining)

GrandHaven.1052:

There is no info, it will be announced at a later stage.

There is no reason why they would exchange the portal for anything.
Just keep both in case.

Thank you.

Hi. So I found two Portals to Maguuma stones and I’m not sure of few things:
- Why would they still drop for people who already found them? Will they switch one of these for anything(Like even a mystic coin) or will those just dissappear?
- When ARE the beta tests? This month? Next month?

I feel like I missed something. I signed up for the newsletter a while ago but didn’t receive any information about it yet.

I made this thread to make sure I won’t actually miss this chance to try out the new classes etc.

TheBlackLeech.9360:

The sword is very ugly imo…. and considering its price tag…. its a bit insulting.

I really don’t understand why people say they actually like the skin.

I understand that it is expensive…. and therefore desirable… but if it wasn’t so pricy…. would people even want it??

…and i completely agree with the op.

The cost of this weapon is not reflected by its ugly and lackluster skin, and it either needs to be reworked or have additional eye candy to make it worth its price.

Depends I guess. Some people like the skin, some don’t. The same way you might like cheap-looking fiery armour set from Citadel of Flame, some other people might not like it.
And if the price went down, I would buy one. I just can’t afford it at the moment.

Loading.4503:

If OP is complaining about hyenas, he’s going to rage quit if he ever steps foot into cursed shore

Fun fact. I actually spent months without teleporting in Cursed Shore, gathering mats for my legendary. It was fun and challenging.
Getting hit by hyenas isn’t neither fun nor challenging. There’s a slight difference. Just saying.

You guys are just silly. You make absolutely no sense. You talk about rewards, which hyenas don’t give. Then about challenge, which hyenas don’t give. And about dodging experience, which hyenas don’t give. It’s like you put random text all over this thread.

Woah! You guys still didn’t give up on saying silly things? This thread is already 3 pages long. You really must love those hyenas. Either that, or you have way too much free time.
Also, some of you seem to not understand a difference between difficult and annoying. Oh well.

Silvia.9130:

Wait, there is actually anyone who doesn’t enjoy being crippled? :O

I know right? :O

Gyler.8150:

I can already see the next expansion tittle, GW2: HC, Hyena’s Cackle.
Main feature, at any one point, at any time, a hyena can jump out from the bush and cripple you. You have 2 seconds to dodge!

Also, would love to see a Rocky montage type video of training to dodge the hyena’s attack. Make it happen! Eye of the tiger!

Will make it happen, thanks.

Okay guys, you won. I see your point of view. If something annoys other players, but doesn’t really affect me, it should stay the way it is. That’s fine.

And I agree, I did exaggerate with that one. I don’t feel like I exaggerated with how pointless cripple on hyenas is though. You didn’t really convince me of the necessity of this mob having it. It doesn’t make much sense. Your arguments are “learn how to dodge”, which doesn’t make much sense neither.
But that’s fine too. I guess I will really have to change maps.

I like the way you guys exaggerate everything.

Two dodges. Hundred hyenas.

The forum that hyperbolizes together stays together.

It’s actually true. There are at least hundred hyenas on the map. Do you disagree?

And you only have two dodges for the entire time you’re in the map?

Of course not, but you can’t expect me to dodge successfully each time. And naturally I will get annoyed if I wont’ manage to pull it off.

It’s the attitude of “make everything easier because I don’t like it” that’s irritating. It’s already easy as hell to avoid pretty much all open world mobs. Making them as dangerous as ambients for the rare occasion that you aggro one is an unnecessary and overkill nerf.

I don’t want it easier neither. It’s not hard. Nothing about it is hard. It’s annoying. I want different, not easier.

So it’s a great way to train your gaming skills and anet made a great design choice. They’re not deadly so you won’t loose your progress and in the same time you are learning how to dodge. It’s a win/win for me. Too bad you’re disappointed. Maybe run at shiverpeaks, I don’t remember meeting any hyenas there.

It’s a level 80 map. Everyone at this point knows how to dodge. Of course you can master timing these particular mobs but what’s the point if they’re just for ‘training’, right?
I like this map. I hate these mobs. See my problem?

Yes. And as I stated before, go play on the map where you won’t meet hyenas. Problem solved.

Yoroiookami.3485:

My experience tells me you are extremely wrong at this assumption. And in your case as you admitted you don’t always dodge them succesfully so additional training can only make you better.

Monsters attack in patterns. I don’t need to know how to dodge hyenas. They don’t deal any damage. They are just there to annoy you. Dodging hyenas won’t teach you how to dodge other mobs. The timing is completely different, so I have no idea what are you talking about and I have a feeling you don’t know what you’re talking about too.
