Guild Wars 2

Did you have signet of the ether equipped? It heals every 3 secs and sounds like round about the base heal for that. Never had it happen to me, but could be that skill doing strange things?

well no, I have resigned myself to the fact that my howler will probably never be fixed, but at least it still has a purpose and warhorns aren’t being slowly phased out.

As soon as I saw ‘16’ my heart sank.

After they stopped making BL skins for underwater weapons I suspected they might shun them for the new legendaries, but still held a tiny bit of hope… I guess that puts it to rest though.

It also buries any hope for future or improved underwater content

It is a complementary slot for pre-purchasing HoT. This is given to everyone who pays for the game before it is released.
from FAQ

“If you registered your core Guild Wars 2 game before January 23, 2015 and register a pre-purchase serial code for Heart of Thorns any time before the expansion is released, you’ll receive a free character slot! Once you apply a pre-purchase serial code, you’ll be eligible for the slot regardless of where you bought the core game.”

This is interesting to know, I’ve never made a male character so didn’t know about it. I also agree with Tigaseye about the cheekbones being left out.

I think that’s one of the main drawbacks of the customisation system, you cannot change the base features at all, so the variety of faces you can make is very limited, unless you go to the extreme, which looks ridiculous. It makes it even more of a problem, as people have said before, when you want non-white faces, the basic faces we get just don’t work.

It’s also worth noting that chainsaw is currently effected by a bug where he keeps his chainsaws sheathed on his back, instead of wielding them and them revving.

Yesterday I asked a guildy who has it to check if it was fixed, because i wanted to get him, but the bug is still there.

I’m not in game right now, so can’t check, but I’m 90% sure it never went away and you can still get it from the trader who swaps corn cobs for 20 slot bags in LA..

Edit: hmm, no appears I’m wrong, I must have been thinking of sonder and he only has the halloween pails and the mini prince thorn.

I really hated the /resign function in GW1 you would get team members pressuring you to resign if the game started off badly, you would get abuse if you tried to keep playing. I don’t want to see that here as well.

Not sure why people are arguing against the OP, it’s a valid complaint, it does not tell you it will automatically take the booster.

A sane person would expect some sort of selection window, the way its works is counter intuitive.

It can take a while, it is basically looking for corrupted/missing files.

Last time I did it, it took 5 minutes, but I guess it depends on how many corrupted files it finds.

repairing your client might help if you haven’t tried it.

left click your shortcut icon, in properties in the target box add the text -repair
so “DriveX:\….\GW2.exe” -repair

then run the client

remember to remove this after it has repaired, otherwise it will repair every time you run the client

I also find it harder to see the yellow dots, than the blue.

Not in the way that the hero point icons are hard to see, but they don’t catch your eye and aren’t as immediately noticeable, it takes a second or two to locate them.

I don’t really see the point…if they are in your party you don’t need them to be a different colour. I can see the point if it showed guildies anywhere on the map who AREN’T in your party.

So apparently the dreamer was updated in the last patch, some changes were made to the sound.

My jaw actually fell open when I read that, I don’t think I have seen any posts about the dreamer’s sound, yet it gets a tweak and howler gets nothing.

The frustration is real.

I had this today and yesterday.

Yesterday I kept dcing (including one mass disconnect with 4 others in the match) and then gave up on pvp when I then disconnected twice and had a serious error crash all in the same match. I repaired my client just to be safe.

Today I had a serious error crash again in pvp and it was the same assertion line as yesterday…one which I have never seen before, it didn’t even come up on google as posted on the forum before :/

—> Crash <—
Assertion: !agent || AgentCanBeSelection(agent)
File: ..\..\..\Game\AgentSelection\AsContext.cpp(3394)

anyway, things seem fine for me in pve.

Edit: my ping is fine, shows as normal in game and on teamspeak, no internet trouble.

Was doing AC yesterday evening and a guildy had one drop, he doesn’t know if it was from a foe or chest though, just noticed it in his bag.

Mihawks Falkenauge.7341:

Hello guys i have the same problem with Ogden’s Ankh & Aspect Amulet.
I have completted LS season 2 & have done all achievements
Also played “Gates of Maguuma” with an other char no result
If anyone know how to get those 2 amulets, please let me know

Did you finish it very early on, as soon as it was released? I am also one of those who apparently completed it ‘too fast’ and it bugged. I have been checking the merchant after every patch just in case a fix has been slipped in, but nothing

I have completed it on 7 chars, most recently 2 days ago, so the work around didn’t work for me either

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Much better than Forge imo.
Forge just did not sound right, ‘forgeR’ maybe, but not Forge.
It’s like calling the engineer spec ‘Stove’.

That’s exactly what I thought. Forge as an English word sounds very ‘off’ for a profession’s name, it would be ’ a Forge’ or ‘Forger’. I’m not going crazy for grammar, just as a native speaker it sounds very strange to me.

Threadly reminder that a FORGER is someone who falsifies documents and paperwork and not someone who uses a forge.

Well that’s lovely n all but I wasn’t suggesting to use that, I was just giving an example of how the word with a prefix or suffix sounds more correct to an English ear.

I have had the bug on other characters where one LS chapter in the journal stays as a grey star despite having completed it. However, I haven’t come across this before…

I completed the whole LS on my ele and had the grey star problem, however I also have the purple ‘replay’ stars visible on both my mini and world map, no combination of clicking, continue, restart, or quit will remove the purple stars. If I move the grey star in the journal to another chapter the purple markers will move to show their positions on the map, but I cannot remove them.

I can deal with a grey star in my journal, but having these markers on my maps permanently is annoying.

There is an ongoing thread here where people have been begging for it to be fixed, unfortunately there has been no answer

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Howler-fix

I’ve done victory or death 5 times before the patch to make it soloable, this was the first time since that patch and doing it solo, so I dont know if they changed it in that patch but…

I didn’t get any ground chests at all

I am absolutely sure there used to a chest behind the console zojja stands at in the last phase and I am also pretty sure I remember getting one during the find the power cores bit at the start.

ArmoredVehicle.2849:

A GW1 boss was named “Alana PekPek” for 3 years, It was then in 2008 that they changed the boss’s last name to “KepKep”. This is a small line from the GW1 wiki page: This boss was renamed in the 14th August 2008 update (its original name is considered offensive in Tagalog).

That’s nothing…. I’ll just leave this here
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/General_Kumtash

oh wow. i just had to log in to check my engie after seeing this…it looks like they’ve tried to fix a graphical bug that’s been around forever, where they get possessed-style third eyelids. i actually posted here about it 2 years ago, really bugged me.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/March-Issues-with-character-art-weapons-or-armor/page/2#post1633629

i much prefer this to the freaky kitten that went on before. unfortunately they haven’t fixed the left eye socket jumping down their face during the ‘holding the gun in the air and looking round’ animation

Edit: pics to show difference (ok, so it’s really hard to get a facial close up with the new camera)

I have been getting this a lot in the last few days. Have to go to char select to get rid of it.
Can’t reproduce it though, tried weapon swap, letting it time out, using a skill while it times out and just using all charges…just seems to be random.

looking sometimes helps

Playing against Rev in pvp is confusing, and not in a good way.

During my first match against a Rev today I thought I was lagging, kept checking my ping the whole way through, then I realised it was their displacement skill, it’s really awful.

I get that it’s meant to be disorientating, but just blinking back and forth like you are rubberbanding isn’t good, it just looks like you are bugging out….it needs some sort of transition.

Nightwin.6423:

…the new precursor for Howler will end up being like the one for the moot and that means that it’ll practically be the legendary however with out the lighting effects…

This^^
Howl will become Howler without the mist. Not sure how many people would be willing to fork out the extra 1k or whatever gold to give it a bit of fog.

For me now it feels like my efforts were a waste. My necromancer is very, very sad without her shiny moon.

Are you doing the human commoner method? You should get it right after you finish ‘The commander’. I did it the other day a couple of times and got the key each time, this was deleting and recreating the character each time.

I don’t find my colour boring (comedy pose intended)

I do see where you’re coming from, I just don’t think it fits in GW2 universe for human and norn, maybe if they ended up adding another race…

What I do think they need is a larger variety of faces reflecting other ethnicities, because the sliders certainly don’t cut it.

Yes and I’m saying there is a very very dark skin colour… it is on my main that I have been playing for nearly 3 years, unless I’ve had my monitor settings incorrect all that time.

No, I’m not making fun of you, but asking for blue skin makes one assume you want to play something more fantastical.

Veilunariel.3914:

Don’t need to be so radical. It isn’t very original when 95% players and NPC around are having the same skin color, is it?

That’s down to what colour players choose, not what is available

As Sold Out said there is already a black skin colour, I have it on my Norn mesmer.

But as you mention blue I assume you want ‘impossible’ black skin… so you want to be a Na’vi or a Drow?

Personally I wouldn’t want to see unnatural skin colours, that’s what sylvari are for. Tattoos and warpaint are good enough.

Behellagh.1468:

Mawdrey is a back pack skin…

It’s not just a skin, it’s an ascended backpiece

1.1 June 2015, 12.15pm, GMT
2. ekkue.3754
3. Seafarers Rest, Silverwastes
4. standing next to the tarnished chest in the bandit area
5. about to open the chest
6. no gif, sorry
7. no effect, just normal death animation
8. everything disappeared except the terrain (players, enemies, the chest)for a couple of seconds, everything then reappeared and I died within a split second of that. I was still in the same place and there was no damage in the combat log, unlike others here, players were able to rez me.

I have also experienced the land spear phenomenon, where your weapon skills disappear and you equip a basic spear and rebreather and you cannot use any utility skills, however I have not died during this and have fixed it by waypointing, but it often comes back again when staying in same map.
My ping has been spiking to over 4k at times. I submitted a ping test of 30 minutes in Silverwastes to support and they told me it was packet loss and its down to my ISP. I’m not sure I believe this right now.

So today is probably the worst it’s been so far. I disconnected twice during megadestroyer, both times I loaded back in the loading screen would flash caledon forest (the map i was in previously) and when i got back in mount maelstrom i would be at the very north of the map and had to run all the way.

During mark II golem my ping was consistently around 1.4k with spikes up to 3k.

I can barely do anything. running the diagnostic again shows basically the same as above

My ping is normally pretty good, hovers around 40-70. but for the last 2 weeks it has been terrible, strange thing is it seems restricted on a map by map basis.

In a good map, it’s still 40-70, bad maps are constantly over 300 with spikes up to 4k! I can play foefire and barely be able to move then load in to temple and all is completely normal. Same on pve maps.

This is only ping/lag, FPS is totally fine. It can happen any time of the day, not just peak.

I ran a diagnostic as described on the support page, but unfortunately I don’t have a clue what it means, anyone know how to read it, or having similar problems?

I had the opposite problem, it was far too sensitive. The glider was opening when it shouldn’t, like when jumping while running over flat ground.

I also got the open glider F prompt while fighting enemies, wasn’t even jumping, and it stayed there until I hit space. Though this only happened in one specific area to the very west of the map.

I also had this. Noticed it when opening a JP chest.

It’s horrible, it looks like my necro is having a bad dream and is trying to wave away the evil pixies.

what’s worse is it completely removes the offhand, doesn’t even pop in at the end of the attack, so no howler while auto attacking, though as howler is bugged too maybe I shouldn’t care…

Randulf.7614:

Gone altogether seems odd tho. Have they been removed from the 1 ticket tab and put further down for 5?

yes, putting them back up to 5 without prior warning, i wouldn’t be surprised. but removing them altogether without an announcement first is just bad.

ok, at least I can say my reading skills are intact.

I was saving my scraps for it… will go and cry into my cup of tea now

So I went to get a tormented skin from the vendor and to my horror they have been removed. Did I miss the warning that they were going? I can’t find anything on the news pages.

I seem to be having the same problem. For the past couple of weeks I have had ridiculous ping spikes. I have been having multiple disconnects in pvp, which i never had before. I thought it might’ve been my internet, but everything else works fine and checking my ping on teamspeak at the same time it never went above 52.

I am in the UK, on EU server.

In Silverwastes today was ultra fun, especially with ones like this:

Mustafa.7684:

Sweet I am in. I had some good time with you guys at Euro Gaming Expo last September. Looking forward to it. Btw will you guys all be hand on deck even on Thursday? Also please have llama card available for me.. I was left out since I Found out late you guys had some

That’s a shame, you missed the super secret llama mount

same, ran repair and its working, but could be down to whatever it was you were doing! cheers

i have exactly the same error. I have restarted the game as well as clearing the cache of my internet browser.

I am able to buy items but anything i try to sell, whether listing it or direct sell, results in the red error

i was really surprised and found it strange no one seemed to be mentioning it, thought it might’ve just been me. It really does look bad, especially the transitions.

3 bugs I can see
taking a drinking takes 20% off your health – tooltip says 10%
water only heals 10% – tooltip says 20%
frequently near the start of the game his critique is in effect even though there is no icon to show it is active

i got the same thing the other day. i’m a mesmer so at first i thought it was the old bug of a clone not dying, but it wasn’t selectable, like it was part of the scenery, had no weapon and just stood there idle. it stayed for about 5 minutes before it just vanished.

I remember reading a post by someone else who had this problem…

here, thanks to google search (because this forums search is terrible!)
