Guild Wars 2

You had to complete the Wintersday pvp reward track to acquire it. I do not think there is any other way to acquire it since the reward track is no longer available.

This is an account based issue, I have been experiencing this as well. My guess is that certain data is accessed/calculated when the scoreboard window is opened(Similar to when opening a large guild window) and it momentarily freezes the game.

I only have this issue with my main account, my alts do not experience this issue but a fix would be really nice.
In other words, it is not a hardware issue on the user end, it is something on the Anet servers specific to some accounts.

How do I edit the team roster? One of my players on my team can no longer play.

Please allow us to queue from outside of HoTM, this was available before not sure why it was removed.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/27-LLamas-to-get-the-Lavish-Llama-1/first#post4983040

There is the source, Anet will announce how to acquire more next week.

I am pretty sure the leaderboards will be the primary way of earning the mini llamas, I will not mind if you can acquire one mini per month by casual play (top 500).
Along with 1 additional mini by playing pvp tourney perhaps getting past the initial round – the way they did it during the previous tournament of legends.
This will keep the pvp community populated and the queues will stay reasonable.

Also, previously lost llamas, which were lost due to players adding them to the wardrobe need to be refunded to the players and all future ones should not get destroyed when we add them to the wardrobe(except the final lavish one)

Getting a Lavish llama will then still require more than a year which is still a little too long but still manageable.

10/10 can’t wait for new warrior specialization

the halo/horns should really just be added back on the laurel vendor. I am not sure why they forgot to add those.

What I would give ANYTHING for would be UW and Fow, heck I would pay an expansion price for just those two areas to be re-added back with similar mechanics/difficulty as it was in GW1.

I hope SAB returns, launch date of HOT, lions arch is rebuild, Cantha is announced as 2nd expansion. All old gem store items removed in first year are re-added to the game for a limited time. Bonus week double xp, gold, etc…UW and FoW are announced to be added as hard core pve content. ok maybe i got a bit out of hand there but one can dream right? =P

was really hoping the bunny ears would be brought back for Easter. I hope they realize that not many people bought them originally as they were only town clothes and the lack of wardrobe was an issue. Please bring them back Anet along with all the other items which were removed around the same time. People are willing to buy a lot more items after the addition of wardrobe, space is no longer an issue.

It is 30 days, after which there seems to be no real restriction. Just type /age to see how old your account is.

Hey all. We have found this bug and are working on a fix. Thanks for your help in identifying this problem.

Jon

Just sayin, necro fears have stopped interrupting a couple of patches ago

Should be a hotfix for this incoming as well.

When is the hotfix coming to open the portal for SAB?
I would like to report the bug that SAB is still not available!!!

Evan Lesh.3295:

I’m not sure how to look at past snapshots, but your current leaderboard status is accurate with 92 points.

I will try to capture more data tonight as I play more games but I am fairly positive that I played more games than just 3 which was what the leader-board reflects.

In other words, not every ranked game is being captured on the boards.
Also, the part which says, “Next update at xx:xx am/pm PST” is definitely not when the leader-board is updating.

Leaderboards finally updated and it is not registering my wins.
I won 7 games in a row since last update and it is saying that I only won 2 games….

so basically last 3 hours completely wasted?

The leaderboard has not been updating every hour as its suppose to.
who spilled coffee on the server?

Ok jokes aside, any idea why the leaderboards are taking so long to update?
Last update was more than 6 hours ago.

There is also a bug where if you start a LFG offline and some times it will automatically change your status to online.

This makes it where you cannot create dungeon groups without revealing that you are online.

I used a Combustive shot when the Archdiviner was reflecting (during final phase) which got reflected back and killed all my team mates on a level 50 fractal =D
I laughed and was soon discovered when others checked their combat log, luckily I was running with friends and did not get kicked.

Malediktus.3740:

I believe it takes 31 days or so for the restrictions to go away completly. You can raise your current limit by playing.

This is correct, simply type in /age in chat in game and it will show you how old your account is. Once the 31 days are up, the restrictions will go away.

They should add these to the wallet and it will solve the issue.

Danikat.8537:

I hate to disappoint everyone, but this isn’t new.

It was added to the game almost a year ago, shortly before the game came out in China. Apparently it was a pre-order or special edition item there, but it has never been available in the west.

It would be amazing if it was made available, but so far it seems unlikely.

It would make sense to either remove it from our wardrobe or give us a way to acquire it that does not require us to fight the most difficult boss in the game, the Legendary RNG god. Yes I am looking at you mini Gwynefyrdd!

Ardenwolfe.8590:

RoseofGilead.8907:

No, it’s not an exclusive item only for China. If it were, people would have already known about it and made a huge fuss. It’s been in the mini wardrobe forever now, for some reason; I do hope it actually gets released soon.

Because it was an exclusive item for the Chinese release. Like a collector’s edition or something. While I really, really, REALLY hope they sell/release the mini for this celebration to NA/EU players, it’s not looking good.

Source?
I only ask because there is no information on this mini and as far as we know it has not been released yet in any region.

I think they added an extra 0 by mistake, would make sense to either change it to 10 interrupts or increase the achievement points it rewards to more like 20. (Currently only 5)

Not sure if this questions has already been asked but here it is anyways.
2 part question:
1. How do you determine what is a reasonable drop rate for an item?
Example lets say the Minipet Gwynefyrdd

2. Do you think items with insane RNG (personal def. anything that requires more than 100k attempts) should be trade-able?

Its the best game ever made.
It has some of the best dungeons such as UW, Fow, Urgoz, Deep, Doa.
The Pvp in that game was also amazing although it isnt very active as it used to be (game has been out for 7-8+ yrs)
I would recommend picking up a copy and joining an active pve guild to get the most out of it.

You can also link your gw1 account to your gw2 to gain achievement points along with some extremely cool rewards, you can get the details of it here:

You wont regret purchasing it! =)

I am unable to purchase any items on the Black Lion Trading company…It keeps giving me the yellow loading circle followed by an error 42:0:9001:4409:101

Anyone else having this issue?

UW and Fow will be released in gw2 on that day.
Anet secretly has been working on it for the last 2 years and we will finally have some super challenging end game content. #hype28thApril2015!

Have people forgotten the beta event where The Shatterer basically flew over one of the starting charr areas and turned half of the players into enemies =)
How amazing was that event? They really need to implement something as epic as those encounters more often.

Enjoy =)

lordkrall.7241:

The vast majority of the items people have wanted back in the gem-store have been put back in the gem-store.

But I suppose that doesn’t count?

There are still a ton of items from the first year release that are not.
Anyone watching the appropriate thread would easily understand OP’s point of view.

I would like One Dev to post here that they legitimately got one as a drop. If none did, its time to make this mini trade-able.

I totally agree. If they do, I have one for you to buy. Only 4k gold.

I will sell everything I have to amass enough gold for it in a heartbeat!

I will make this very simple.

You cannot effectively farm the same mobs in the same map for more than 1 hour.
Let me introduce you to what is known as “Diminishing Returns”

Straight from wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Diminishing_returns

Diminishing returns (DR) refers to the mechanics used to prevent bots and exploits from disrupting the economy and gaining an unfair advantage over legitimate players. There are several types of DR in the game, each of which is character-based with the exception of dungeon DR, which applies to the entire account. Although DR could affect most activities that have potential for abuse, very few players will experience it during normal play.

In other words, what you plan on doing is completely moot, Try diversifying your game play, example: farming Southsun for 1 hr, moving to Frostgorge for another and possibly to Orr for another and keep rotating in this manner.
This will not only prevent your character from hitting DR but also will prevent your account from being reported.

Also personal advice, if you intend on making gold, you may just want to run dungeons instead and buy the mats you are looking for.

I would like One Dev to post here that they legitimately got one as a drop. If none did, its time to make this mini trade-able.

Honestly they need to remove RNG from this item, It should straight up give 3 of each everyday.

RNG should not be a factor when we are paying for an item…considering how long it will take to get our money back from it…

ZilentNight.5089:

Bring the following back and take my money!

Aviator Sunglasses
Bunny Ears
Festive Hat

Wintersday Earmuffs
Mad Memories: Complete Edition
Plush Moto Backpack Cover

Please! ^

Maxite.6102:

I liked the uber rare drop rate. Having super rare things adds an interesting dynamic to an otherwise standard event. I hope to see more like it in the future, and like with GW, Mini pets are a pretty good venue.

Bring back the Polar Bear Cub, next. (No, it doesn’t count without the ribbon.)

This isnt GW1 and even the Polar Bear from GW1 was tradeable….
Also they never sold minis on the cash shop in GW1, its a completely different game.

I am actually very surprised that no change has been made to this mini. How much feedback do you need before something will actually be done?

This is the worst decision made by Anet since launch.

Edit: This thread has more views than the Guild Raiding CDI, many players are looking forward to this change, they may not post here but they share similar views.

2 days left till end of Patch, I hope Anet makes a change.

Piro.8762:

So, to add to the disappointment and rage, I’ve spent $205 on gems to get gold to buy TnT bags. So far I’ve opened almost 100k bags and still no mini. I mean, seriously… is this just an elaborated prank to get people to develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? 100k bags…. come on!!!!

Also: Im pretty sure that they made the stupid pillowcase icon resemble the mini icon just to mess with you every time you get a pillowcase.

I feel for you, I have personally been farming the rat farm, I recommend you do the same instead of buying gems.
After 40k bags, I have pretty much lost not only all of my gold but my hope as well.
I hate to do this, but I may have to finally quit my mini pet collection here, which will result in me saving a ton of money in the future since I will no longer have to purchase gems for the Gem store minis. Thank you Anet I could only support your Gem sales for so long, unfortunately the road ends here.

2600g for this mini is acceptable in your mind?
You must be crazy, I believe I was able to buy all the other TP minis with much less gold than that.

Justifying that you can make gold by other means does not make the drop rate of this acceptable. Also I am well aware of how to make gold in this game, flipping skins is not exactly rocket science.

1.3 mil bags = 5,200 stacks = nearly 78,000 Gold (15k per stack)
Lets say you are getting half of your gold back, that is still 36,000 gold down the drain to get one mini pet.
This is a very unrealistic goal for an item that will available for 2 weeks, after which the supply of it will decrease significantly.

I have 8 legendaries and ALL minipets except this one, I dont think the sum of every thing on my account even comes close to the price you have paid for this Mini.

oshilator.4681:

So let me get this straight… an ACCOUNT BOUND mini with precursor-like drop rates is acceptable? And working as intended?

Really? You’re that out of touch with the playerbase?

Its got a lower drop rate than a precursor. I have opened nearly 30,000 bags and still no Gwynefyrdd….

But that is exactly the message Anet is sending by having such a drop rate….

Gaile Gray.6029:

I read through this thread to get caught up, and there seem to be a few questions that I can address:

• The miniature is extremely rare, it’s true. But the drop is random, which accounts for one person getting a pooch in a few hundred bags and someone else not getting it after opening several thousand.
• One of our statisticians just checked the drop rate, and there is no error in the drop rate — it truly is dropping as designed.
• Diminishing Returns do not apply to ToT Bags. I mean, phew! I read that question and my blood ran cold, but I felt sure — and the designer confirmed — that DR is not a factor with the Trick-or-Treat bags. Open 1, open 100, the drop rate is not impacted by diminishing returns.
• I’ve passed along your suggestions. I believe that changes are not planned or even possible for this year’s event. What happens in future events — whether Gwynefyrdd will return — is not yet on the radar. Again, your thoughts and suggestions have been shared and I know that the devs do listen to your input. But what actually takes place in 2015 and beyond is not yet established.

I also want to say that I’d love nothing more than to have Gwynefyrdd for myself. One comment here — “he swims!” and I was gone. I truly wish all of you great good luck with this goal!

Ummm…While I mostly agree with the summary here, I think the main point was completely lost.

The drop rate for this item is utterly ridiculous and needs to be fixed. We have seen this issue time and again and in the past Anet has made changes, example Lyssa recipe…

In the case of the Lyssa recipe, at least it was trade-able and players had a 2ndary way of acquiring it, in this situation there is no other way since the item is account bound.
Please either make the item trade-able or increase the drop rate.
This is not Gw1, its a completely different game, you cannot make comparisons to the mini polar bear from Winters day which I may add was ALSO TRADE-ABLE.

Obnoxious drop rate…just opened 4k bags and no Gwynefyrdd. basically everything I had farmed since start, guess I will have to start buying bags tomo =/

Thats really odd, I did a run last night and it did not work for us, will try again tonight.

Try pulling the boss to the pillar stacking location, it will come up to the trap and then turn around. You can no longer pull it past any of the 3 traps.

AC p2 Dungeon final boss no longer moves past the 3 traps. – Possibly done to prevent players from stacking on the pillars? Edit: (Still working)

Mai Trin relogging trick to be ressed by Ellen Kiel has been fixed.

Any other undocumented fixes?

What Mad Memories is back in the game? Are you serious?

Gaile Gray.6029:

Here’s an update for you:

It’s clear that quite a lot of you would like to have greater flexibility in using the Currency Exchange. Our intention when we designed the new interface was to streamline large volume purchases, which make up the majority of transactions.

In light of your feedback, we will update the Currency Exchange so that you can decide how you want to use it. We will keep the new streamlined system and also offer a new “Custom” button on the panel that you can use to exchange any increment of gems or gold.

We anticipate rolling this out soon. Stay tuned!

~~~~~

Sorry for the delay in posting this, but out of respect to our international community, we wanted to be able to post in several forums at once.

This is why I have stuck with Anet for nearly 10 years! since Gw1 launch!
They listen to feedback and do the right thing.

Thank you Anet!

Bump! I still need help wit this error please.

There is a simple fix to this issue:

Leave the current denominations as is but also give the players a more advance option which allows us to manually enter the exact value as below.

This way, the newer players can continue to use this new system and the veterans who are already familiar with the old can be unaffected by the change.
Also since the old system should not require any re-work this should not be any extra effort. Just add a button in the current UI and have it direct back to the old UI page and vice versa.
