Guild Wars 2

(I tried to see if this had already been reported — it seems very strange to me that it wouldn’t have, since it’s such an annoying issue — but in 10 pages of browsing the bugs forum I didn’t see anything about it, and I can’t spend the whole day on here looking for a thread that might not exist. Once again, if the forum search were fixed … that would be wonderful.)

The issue I’m having is when I want to sell something at a price that is higher than the minimum sell price, but the first digit of my chosen sell price is lower than the minimum sell price.

Take the following as an example:

I have an item that I want to sell for 50 copper. The minimum sell price is 20 copper. I double-click in the number field for copper to select the value already there, and start typing in my preferred sell price of 50 copper to overwrite it. I manage to type “5” before the error system kicks in, tells me that the minimum sell price is 20 copper, and force-overwrites what I was typing with “20”.

The only way I’ve found to get around this is by using the arrow keys next to the number fields, and because you seemingly can’t just click and hold an arrow to increment things quickly, you actually have to click over and over until you get to the value you want. Between 20 and 50 there’s only (“only”) 30 clicks, but when the difference is more like 90 we’re talking about a rather obvious usability issue, especially for people who use the TP often.

Now … am I missing something, or is this intended behaviour? And if it’s intended behaviour, why? o_O Why not at least wait for the field to fill up to its maximum capacity of 2 digits before you instigate that check for the minimum sell price? It didn’t use to work this way and the fact that it happens all the time now drives me bonkers.

Please feel free to let me know if mine is the only TP dialog behaving this way, or if there’s some other workaround or fact I’m missing that explains why (apparently) nobody else has commented on this issue … I’m happy to be proven wrong, I just want to avoid the unnecessarily RSI-inducing way I’m forced to interact with the TP at present.

The other thing you can do is pause for like half a second after jumping onto the candy cane bridge, and THEN run down. That pause will halt your momentum and negate the chance you’ll take falling damage. A pause of that short a duration will also not affect your overall run’s chances of success (or it shouldn’t — if it makes that much of a difference, you’re lagging behind somewhere else), and it’s a simple way to stop that bug from happening.

For me he never came back; I waited around for a good ten minutes, running around the entire area to make sure, but no joy. His icon never moved on the minimap, either. Cycling through nearby targets everywhere I could get to in the lab couldn’t pick him up.

Having attempted, three times, to complete the Aggressive Infiltration (go in and kill everything and trip every alarm) achievement in Seeds of Truth, I found that it can bug out. The nature of the bug changes — I experienced two issues, both of which occurred in the final chamber with Vorpp. One was a progression blocker that forced me to log out and restart the instance to try it again; the other, I was able to find a workaround for.

ISSUE #1: In Phase 2 of the fight, where you have to disable the shield generator to make Vorpp vulnerable (but before the guard golems appear), I was kiting all the aggroed Arcane Eye Agents around the edge of the central holding cell and killing them off one by one. At some point, I managed to kill the last of them. The fight then stalled; I could see Vorpp’s boss icon on the minimap, but when I went to it, there was nobody there. Without being able to attack him, or interact with anything else, I was unable to continue the fight. The mission tips simply told me to eliminate all attackers to regain stealth, but there was nobody else to kill. I did not find a workaround for this.

ISSUE #2: Again in Phase 2 of the fight, and again whilst kiting the mobs around to kill them off gradually, somehow Vorpp got stuck INSIDE the central holding cell. Instead of zapping around to the generators, he was zapping around inside the cell. This issue occurred twice — the first time, I logged out and restarted because I didn’t think I’d be able to complete it. The second time, I just walked up to the set of bars he was closest to and started attacking. Thanks to the fact that Caithe’s attacks have decent range, I was able to hit him through the bars, and that progressed the fight: he popped out of the cell when his health was low enough, and Phase 3 (shield generators + golems) began and ran normally.

Just a heads-up in case anyone else experiences the same issue and is tearing their hair out trying to work out how to complete it. If he’s invisible, not much you can do. If he’s inside the cell, you have some options, so long as he’s close enough to the bars to hit. :)

Thank you all for the answers — I’m sorry it took so long to get back to this thread, but I had a bunch of stuff blow up on me in RL and totally forgot I’d even posted this.

To clarify in case anyone else has the same issue: my friend was, as Gaile mentioned, able to purchase the NA/EU client from GW2’s website and join my (NA) world. I have no idea how she’s accessing the game via VPN if Ettanin is correct about how it works, but somehow she’s managing just fine! Possibly she doesn’t need the VPN? I’ll have to ask and post here again.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I did try to look it up myself, but either I have deficient Googling skills or the information is simply buried — I can’t seem to get a straight answer from the internet at large, which seems to be more interested in the differences between the Chinese/Western clients, rather than how available each of those clients are to various people.

The issue is that I have an English-speaking friend in China who would like to play with me. She doesn’t yet have GW2. I am on a North American server.

I know that at ONE stage it was possible for Chinese players to have and use the normal client, and play on NA/EU servers — presumably before the Chinese client came out. Now, I’m not sure whether or not that’s still the case, and she doesn’t know which game type (digital/boxed) to get in order to allow her to play with me. Neither of us have any idea whether she can, in fact, even get a non-Chinese client now.

If it helps, she’s somewhat savvy with VPNs (naturally), so if any twiddling is necessary in that regard, she might be able to pull it off.

Any help is appreciated! :)

I was able to successfully yank the RSS feed for whole subforums (e.g. Fan-generated Content) into my reader, but am having the same troubles listed above for subscribing to individual threads or attempting to monitor them via RSS.

Dude, this is … amazing stuff, I’m surprised more people haven’t commented. Really beautiful work, thank you for sharing!

Here is a wallpaper I made that mixes a bunch of official wallpapers into a Grand Theft Auto wallpaper design. Hope you guys like it.

This one’s fantastic, thanks for the great artwork, wallpaper change incoming!

Lovely work — probably my new wallpaper!
