Guild Wars 2

Yes, it did, and yes the casting animations, as well as overhead casting symbols in GW1 were awesome, and better, than those in GW2. Something that surprises me.

It sounds like you’re trying to apply a local problem to a global population. The only time I ever see delay is when I am in WvW with a large number of players in my vicinity. Horrible delay, sometimes shutting down half of my skills. Luckily, this doesn’t happen alot (in truth my poor frame rate in WvW, another related issue, is one reason why I haven’t enjoyed WvW much.)

But that’s not what you’re asserting. You’re saying that there is an inherent delay in the game that all of us are experiencing all the time, and if we’re not seeing it it’s becuase we’re not skilled enough to detect it, and finally that Anet’s UI is the opposite of slick: it’s garbled, inneffective, unintuitive, rough around the edges. Am I reading you correctly?

Still bugged as of just now. Regroup with the team after clearing the beach does nothing. Same as last time I tried it, when I bug reported it. Seeing how old this thread is, I’m assuming Anet’s strat is to sit on it and literally do nothing?

My character is level 80 and can’t progress further in his story until this bug is fixed. There’s nothing I can do but wait for weeks or months on Anet?…wow.

People who have the time can eventually build these elite items themselves or purchase with in-game gold.

People who don’t have the time can purchase with real cash.

This is the central philosophy of the gem store and trading post built into the game and explained clearly to all of us, by Mike O’Brien, when the game launched.

I’m cool with it. If you are not, this indeed may not be your game.

I herd lfg system is on the devs plate. hold tight!

I usually don’t jump on bandwagons, but I’ll take a seat on this one.

I’ve only seen all the story mode dungeons because I just wanted to experience the content. The dungeons have not been interesting to me. There’s not a single one of them that I want to return to.

Contrast this with Sorrow’s Furnace in GW1. That was a VERY popular dungeon that people ran over and over and over. Devs need to recapture that desire with unique drops and a complex dungeon design (meaning: you can get lost + it took a long time to get my head around how SF was pieced together).

Finally, LFG tool. Getting into a hotw story group tookittenerally a week of me spamming in LA and just standing there waiting for a guild group to advertise for one more. Most people would have just said “Kitten This.”

They are all over the game, it’s been happening since beta, and I fear that there’s a systemic issue, or pair of issues that Anet just can’t get their hands around.

I’ve not heard any official comment on this (re: not just a bugged event or sp here or there, but all over) and would be great to know what is going on.

Also, should we just expect this for another couple of months…six months?

i block and report every single one i see in chat and receive mail from of course.
ive noticed a smaller number of incidents of late, which is a sign of hope.

IMPORTANT UPDATE Feb. 2013: A workaround to this bug can be found with FunkyMonkey’s post on 2nd page. Please try it!
I can confirm that it worked for me, but I followed the steps EXACTLY as he suggested.

Ships of the Line story mission is bugged at this point in the mission:
“Strike at the southern docks of Arah with the captured ships.”
subset: “Regroup with the team and assess the situation.”

-The entire beach is cleared of enemies.
-All of the team has been resurrected.
-I am with the team, inside the green circle.
-Though Elli offers a “Talk” option, nothing happens.

This is the third time I have attempted this story mission, only to hit this same issue, at this same point, each time. I thought that perhaps with the latest patch I might get lucky.

I cannot progress my story and I’m extremely frustrated that even though this is a progress-blocking bug that is well known, nothing has been done.

Please fix this.

Edit: I notice that Scholar Inkblood and his pet Amphebe are alive, but have stopped walking toward the green circle with the rest of us. Is the fact that they are not in the green circle the reason? They will not move.

I’m going to make a not-so-fair contrast here with house interiors: Skyrim vs GW2.

You walk into a house in skyrim, it’s cozy, lit with flickering fire, and richly detailed. Items, furniture, candles, little details fully paint the interior. An npc might be cooking or going to and fro. A room in GW2 is sparse, with very few fixtures or items and NPCs are standing in place, looking forward, doing nothing.

Provisos:
1. The mere fact that I can go inside buildings in GW2 (as opposed to just staring at the front doors of those cool cottages in GW1) is awesome.
2. Cave, structure, and interior complexity is amazing. That coupled with the immense size and detail of the world maps is over the top in my book.

I think a valid solution (if you’re into it) is rolling other professions. I’ve been playing alot since day 1 of headstart and my highest level character is 65. I have 7 other characters because I want to see how they play and which one I like the most. I’ve found that I like all of them!

I’ve noticed that going through zones a second time also reveals DE’s that I didn’t experience the first time and hidden areas that I missed that aren’t part of the map completion reward.

I’m also restricting crafting to one discipline per character…..eight current characters, 8 crafting disciplines available, one for each, never repeated. This keeps me from burning out on crafting on any single character.

I’m far from bored because I’m in no rush to get to 80, and I know that Anet will be adding new content.

1. I was surprised at how many gems I could buy with so little gold. Just by playing the game I’ve earned enough gold to purchase 3 extra character slots and two bank slot extensions. No extra US dollars out of my pocket for those.

2. My experiences with the gem shop have been positive. No issues, good results. My worries about the gem shop being a pay-to-win store or any other nonsense have completely vanished.

I’ve reported so many bugs/glitches that i’ve developed “report fatigue”. At some point you have to stop and ask: Am I the customer or an unpaid tester here?

I’ve never seen as much gold spam or mail in WoW as I’ve seen here, and that is very surprising. I’m hoping that it’s just an early game blip. Anet needs to aggressively pursue the advertised web site owners in court, if that’s even possible due to the international nature of their business.

Hi, anyone know where I can acquire the 8 slot invisible bag recipe for tailoring? I’m already past lvl 25 in tailoring but it’s not showing up as an option to make.

Do i buy the recipe from a karma vendor, do i have to discover it?

thx!
