Guild Wars 2

The longbow skill #3 named Deflecting Shot doesn’t always destroy projectiles. Sometimes it does, sometimes not.

The Vigil medium pants on a female Norn clip through at least half of the boots.

Gudy.3607:

As far as I know, you need to actually land the killing blow for it to count. If the mob dies from a condition tick, retaliation or a pet attack, the kill does not count towards the weapon mastery. Are you sure that’s not what happened here?

Yes I’m sure. I tested with a weapon that doesn’t give condition. One of my guildies mentioned it and I tried and same result.

I was doing map completion of The Grove and noticed after receiving my chest that in fact I had not completed exploring it. I did not visit Caithe’s home. The arrow was pointing to discover it. I then looked on the map and noticed the number of POIs is incorrect. There should be 19 however my map says 5/5. And I know I visited more than 5 of them.

Update: I visited Caithe’s house and still showed 5/5 for completion of The Grove for POIs.

Within the past couple weeks or so it’s been difficult to whisper someone. I click on their name and sometimes it won’t change to /whisper for a few minutes. If I click on multiple names, a few minutes later it cycles thru all the ones I clicked quickly. If I try typing /w it just takes me back to the previous channel. But once I start whispering with someone usually it’s fine. This has been happening a couple times per day. If you could please look into this it would be appreciated.

Underwater kills are not counting toward weapon mastery. I tested it out on a couple inquest. I started at 1,050 kills with trident. Killed 2 enemies, and still at 1,050. I’m not certain if this is happening to land skills though since all my land skills are max.

The only ones I find viable are Norn Bear for the hot room in fractals and Sylvari Turrets cause they do decent bleeds and direct damage. Hounds of Balth are fair too but yea, the cooldowns and extent of uselessness with race skills is bad.

It’s T3 cultural for Norn medium. The helm is the same as it’s always been. Just no one ever uses it. Or rather rarely.

Ok so turning off player names during big events like Maw helps with fps considerably but why? I mean, it’s only text. Why would it affect your fps so significantly?

Is it still possible to get the wvw claim tickets? I got 200 and just need 100 more for a mistforged weapon but…

Any predictions on release date? I’m hoping 3rd year anniversary but I’m kinda losing faith. Grinding SW everyday…. yea. Been 7 months now since HoT announced. Bueller?..

This has been happening awhile and I’m sure there is a thread already for it but I’m stating this anyhow. The fire charr who shoots out flames everywhere….well alot of the aoe fire rings are completely invisible. You can’t see anything hitting you yet apparently you’re standing in the fire. Please look into this as it is very frustrating to suddenly go down when basically nothing is visibly hitting you.

I’d really like to get that Brewmaster achievement completed but I guess not going to happen anytime soon?

So at the start of the match we had a few players on our team with between 10-20 points yet the team score was 0. How is this possible?

Aggrostemma.1703:

If you’d let us know what profession you play we could give you more help.

But you have to know that the thieves are pushing out the “paper” builds of sPvP exactly because of this.
You can kill them (many of us do it often) but you have to learn how to counter them. This is why I ask for your prof/build.

Mesmer

Ok….this makes no sense to me. I have 16k life. Thief does backstab for 8k then heartseeker for 8k. Bam I’m downed. 2 hit kill literally. Whereas it takes several attacks for me to down a Thief. How is 2 hits vs 6-7 by any means balanced or fair?

The bowstring from the ice bow remains in your hands after using it.

Linken.6345:

So with healing/damage mitigation and condition legends your not doing enough physical damage. Can you see why that might be when reading what legends you have available to you?

Yes, however I did not see any change in damage between the 3 Legends with weapon attacks. Yes the utilities change but changing Legends seemed to not affect your weapons in any way. Nor did my stats change as a result. I’m sure this is all being worked out but I think my concern is valid when the damage is this low.

Yes I realize that not all the legendary stances are out yet but as seeing now the Revenant needs a serious damage boost. My Guardian which wears almost full Clerics can dish out way more than the Revenant in full Berserkers. Something is not right there. Please look into this Anet.

So since your Revenant character is going to be deleted in the near future along with whatever rewards they get….. what if you got a precursor drop while on your Rev? Kiss it goodbye?

The dots indicate where the locations were originally compared to today.

I got mine 2 days ago. First drop ever after 6k hours played. It was from “Bag of Gear” in Silverwastes.

Lions Arch has suddenly stopped rending properly for me since the most recent patch 7/8/15. Only distant objects though as seen in the screenshot. My video card drivers are up to date. The card is Nvidia GTX 770. All ingame settings are set to high.

Necro minions very often just stand there and do nothing while you’re fighting. When they all actually start working they can do a lot of damage. But 80% of the time they just stand around and watch you. I know undead are supposed to be stupid or something but…. please fix? This bug has been around at least a year now.

So they made conditions more viable but removed the ability for traps to be thrown and spirits can’t follow you anymore. Not to mention traps take a second before being placed. I don’t really understand why the change to the traps and spirits. It’s like…. conditions are more affective but they removed the viability of doing it for Ranger. It seems kind of silly to have to run up to an enemy to place a trap. Anyone get where I’m going with this?

“Remove conditions from allies when you enter shroud and every few seconds while you remain in shroud. Gain life force each time a condition is removed” Now does this mean you simply transfer conditions from someone to yourself or cure one of their conditions as well as curing one for yourself as well?

The Dragon’s Tooth skill on scepter does not count as a blast finisher anymore. At least it doesn’t with Ring of Fire from dagger anymore. Please check the video to see an example.

They’ve taken a month before getting back to me but they do eventually

Is it me or do Norns in GW2 seem a lot shorter than they did in GW1?

The skill lag during world bosses now is real. Anet can you look into this? This started happening since the big update. It has happened in the past but not consistently like now. Takes several times of pushing the button for your skill to actually register and function.

The trait Perfect Inscriptions states “Gain a light aura when using a signet and 20% increased effectiveness to signets”. The light aura does not trigger however the 20% thing works properly. The aura does not trigger whether in or out of combat.

It’s not major but there’s something wrong with the text when completing events. Check screenshot please.

Hidden Dragon.7523:

I’ve noticed that buying the Expansion Heart of Thorns also includes a standard copy of GW2. Does it mean that I will have an additional account when I only use the expansion to upgrade my existing account? Can I use the standard copy of GW2 which is added to the package as a stand alone?

It upgrades your current account to HoT. You do not get an extra account out of it.

I agree that this method was a poor choice but nothing we can really do about it. Either buy or don’t are the only options. I’m not really upset over the price, more so the principal.

Raven.3957:

Soon is very hopeful, and the update is rather appreciated; thank you.

Now to hope and pray that soon means days and not weeks lol

Joke’s on you, soon actually means “about another month”.
Thank you ANet…

At least. Dev posted on May 29th “We’re close, seriously.”

The translucent pink oozes at the PR&T Esoterics in Metrica Province are not rendering properly. Only their alpha layer is showing. Check screenshot please.

both, cuz why not

I dont notice any mouse acceleration at all. If I move the mouse slow, it goes slow, if I move it fast then slow then fast, no random increase in speed. Only thing I can think of is you got some software that has it enabled or something in windows settings.

DocZed.6973:

The Ultimate Edition only adds 4000 gems.
If you have everything previous, you’d just be getting gems at at heavy discount.

No you wouldnt, you’d get an additional character slot at €5 discount. That is all. The rest is fluff that no one need or want (ie mini crap etc).

That said, I cant see anything like this mentioned about the Ultimate version on the purchase page (or cart)? Where is the source for this info?

I got it from here https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-heart-of-thorns-is-available-for-pre-purchase/

DocZed.6973:

The Ultimate Edition only adds 4000 gems.

I realize that, but the whole “The Ultimate edition will not be available as an upgrade and must be purchased as a full game package” part makes it sound like you can’t upgrade your current account and would have to start completely over with a brand new account.

According to the news section it says “The Ultimate edition of the game includes all of the above in addition to 4,000 gems. The Ultimate edition will not be available as an upgrade and must be purchased as a full game package.”

Does this mean we cannot upgrade our current account with the Ultimate Edition and have to start with a completely new one?

Will there be a physical Collectors Edition copy or only the digital Ultimate Edition be the biggest one? Personally I like all the extra goodies that come with Collectors Editions. Such as Rytlock sitting on top of my PC right now.

Ty Anet for the mini rock! It is the most durpy and best thing I’ve ever seen.

I just tested many times in the hotm how fast a staff can kill a medium armor golem using guardian with no traits, no sigils, celestial amulet, and divinity rune. All stats completely even. The average time was 31 seconds. I then tested with 12 stacks of might from the #4 skill which lasts 10 seconds. The kill time was exactly the same. 31 seconds average. Something is wrong here and needs to be looked into.

The pointer arrow that shows up when low on health in starter areas won’t go away till relogging or going to a different map. It’s very irritating as it blocks vision of what current conditions or boons you have on you. Healing does not remove the arrow. And if you press ESC the pointer just bounces up and down. You can’t open up the menu then unless you actually click the gear in the top left. See screenshot and video.

I’d like it if you could move around while using the bubble skill for shield. Also maybe extend the time it remains by a couple seconds. It would definitely make the shield more viable cause as it stands right now, focus is much more preferable.

Knox.8462:

There are two memorable norn female mesmers in-game, who were really tough to fight. Vilnia is a Raven Shaman who sacrifices children to power her magic. Orma disguises herself as a merchant to rip off players. Both of them wrecked me the first time I encountered them.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Veteran_Vilnia_Shadowsong
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Orma

How often does Orma show up? I read that she either shows up near the Priory bridge or Havoc waypoint disguised as either a quaggan, norn with a hat or a norn with dreadlocks. I spent like 30 minutes switching back and forth between the waypoints and she hasn’t appeared.

Does this sound like a really odd combination or not really? Just curious what others think.

RoseofGilead.8907:

The parrot does it, too. And the snow owl.

Ya I noticed it was the same sound with these as well. Very loud as well.

Yea I’m seeing this as well. Just noticed it tonight.

Update: I’ve also noticed when zooming in on an Asuran, they are too far below the screen too.
