Guild Wars 2

Electro.4173:

He hasn’t appeared since the end of Season 1. Perhaps they’re giving him a “break” so he doesn’t become overplayed (I know I saw a few complaints about him appearing too often when he was showing up all the time in S1).

You mean he isn’t already overplayed? Talking backpacks with speech bubbles…a full set of harvesting tools on top of the minis we already have?

Those kitten talking backpacks made me hate the character because at the time they came out I was spending a lot of time in zerg type areas where SO many people had them on. I wish the speech bubbles would go away. Can you imagine if every player had speech bubbles for their ambient dialogue? It would be excessive and more people would complain about it. But that’s a different topic I think.

“Lick wounds” resurrects the pet to heal the ranger. If the ranger was also at the top of the water they were healing themselves as well. That’s how downstate works in water. It’s not a bug, working as intended.

Dead pets. A dead pet should not be able to heal the ranger.

But did he kill the pet before or after the ranger hit Lick wounds? If the OP is under the assumption that killing the pet before the ranger activated Lick wounds would prevent them from healing, they’re wrong. There is missing information to fully know if it is a bug or not. (I’m leaning towards not)

Well Hodgins Dual weilds scepters…and many NPCs do things player characters cannot. I don’t see the issue. (But I’d love a mainhand torch >.>)

“Lick wounds” resurrects the pet to heal the ranger. If the ranger was also at the top of the water they were healing themselves as well. That’s how downstate works in water. It’s not a bug, working as intended.

Throw Mini Jenna, a Mini Logan Thackery (and Mysic Coins and Crystals for good luck) into the forge and out pops…

Mini Dead Snaff.

For real though.
I want the Southsun minis to be rare drops from the Karka Queen.
and I want Minis of: Shatterer, “Stabby Cats” (aka Teragriff), Claw of Jormag, and a Quaggan on a unicycle juggling fire.

Nah, you just didn’t know! But now you do and can get bags swapped around. I would recommend keeping 1 invisible bag per character to keep weapons, and things you don’t want to accidentally sell tucked away. They’re good to have, just don’t want to have only them.

I would like to join for all 4 paths (NA), but if someone else needs it for Dungeon Master I’ll give my spot over to them. I’ll check back later to see if I’m needed for the team.

I don’t need Dungeon Master…I’m working on completing the Arah armor collection for Dungeoneer.

I’ll be bringing my guardian if you need someone along for fun and to fill a spot. It’s been a few months since I’ve been in Arah, but I remember p1-3 pretty good.

You’re using invisible bags. Anything in an invisible bag will not show up at a vendor and it will not compact either.

The other “Special” bags like Craftsman, Fractal bags, Oiled, etc will also not compact but you can see the items in them at vendors.

I would suggest getting some candy corn cobs and visiting Sonder the Seller in Lion’s Arch to get some relatively cheap 20 slot halloween pails. 3 candy corn cobs (or 3000 candy corn) per bag.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Awesome — thanks a ton for those threads! It really helps to have this information.

I’ll send off a report now.

Thanks Gaile….any word on if they’re working on a fix for Howler. I don’t care about an ETA at this point since it’s been broken for so long. Just knowing that they are going to fix it would be enough for me right now.

Did you disconnect or change characters? Or were you on the same character and connected the entire time from the time you queued up to the end of the match?

I stopped buying karma & wvw gear because 1-there is no warning saying you can’t salvage it (so if I forget where I got it and put something expensive on it I’m screwed). and 2- I like to be able to salvage gear if I decide to change.

The last time I looked there were 6 upgrades out of the hundreds available that it was cost effective to get the extractor for.

I refuse to buy the extractors with any form of currency. There needs to either be a rune/sigil only version that costs significantly less or let us salvage karma/wvw gear just for the upgrades.

The fact that unless you know you can’t salvage it bothers me. There is no warning anywhere stating that they can’t be salvaged. While most of us know already, imagine a new person coming in and getting gear from wvw or with karma then finding out after spending most of their gold on runes they wanted a different armor stat…now all their gold is stuck in unsalvageable gear with no way to get their runes back except to spend more than they’re worth on gem store extractors. It is not right and I will refuse to buy extractors until something is done. I’ve got several sets of armor I want the runes out of, but until this is fixed that armor will just sit there with the runes firmly attached.

All I have to say is extremely rare + Account bound = stupid and should never ever be done again….Not for Halloween, not for Wintersday, not for anything.

It’s nice to have a second option to get the aquabreather but seriously, you finally give us an exotic aquabreather and it’s extremely rare AND account bound?

Why can’t we craft aqua breathers (except for that one odd lvl 20 heavy one http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Water_Filter). Why didn’t you instead give us a recipe so we could craft the lvl 80 exotic aquabreather…then making it account bound would be fine & dandy.

Also…make Toypocolypse into a dungeon rather than activity so we can join with friends. Re: toypocalypse…give everyone a passive 10-15% speed boost in there. I feel so dang slow in there. (or let me use my own utility skills)

And please no more bags within bags within bags. I’m getting terrible hand cramps and wrist pain because of all the clicking (and holding down ctrl/shift to find chests in the silverwastes, but that’s slightly different).

Thank you for trying to fix the loot in the gifts. I appreciate the greater numbers of snowflakes. I also appreciate you taking out one of the sigil/rune bags even if you didn’t fix the entire issue regarding bags in bags.

Also…with the exception of the weird desync bug with bell choir, I love it…don’t change it. Though what’s up with the 20 points total you can earn. Each round except for the last is worth 3 points…but because you can’t properly multiply we wind up with an odd last 30 songs is only worth 2 points. o.O

It’s not just the living story instances…it is all story instances now. Personal story too….which sucks I think, but they did it to “normalize rewards” so that one path isn’t more rewarding than another. It makes sense, and I appreciate them telling us why (don’t remember which forum I saw it in but it was a while back)…but I still don’t like it. Oh well.

Vayne.8563:

I got them in WvW, and later did the Fractal ones as well, but I agree. I don’t think there should be two dailies that require people to group. Not everyone will do group content, and some of those people will feel disenfranchised.

Actually today I got every daily except the event one.

You don’t need to group to do the “Daily Fractal” (the full set one “Daily 1-10”, sure yeah a group would be best).

Roll underwater. Kill a few krait. Swim thru a tunnel. Kite a Jellyfish into some electricity while shooting it. That one is easy solo.

It’s not easy to solo for many people, if not most people. Having soloed it myself, I know it can be done, but such a huge percentage of the playerbase has no clue how to do stuff like that, have never done a fractal before, and probably couldn’t solo it without a whole lot more practice than they’d probably have playing time.

That’s true. I guess I’ve just been playing so long that for me, it just feel silly easy to do lots of things. I can’t solo dungeons, but I can solo a few of the fractals. Just seems like a lot of complaining and not a lot of willingness to at least try here.

Meh. I rolled a level 1 underwater fractal and soloed it to get the “Daily Fractal”. Kill a few krait, swim down a dark tunnel and kite a giant jellyfish into some electric fields. Done in a few minutes. Don’t have to do the full 3+Boss to get the daily done. Ascalon was second so I tried to solo that one too. Got the boss nearly dead and he killed me. That one can be done too as a solo.

But I didn’t need fractals to do my daily because I went to wvw, found a yak and killed it. And for fun I followed the zerg around for about an hour (wvw xp booster) and took everything in sight.

It’s only when you limit yourself to PvE only that you’re going to encounter a problem like this. These are artificial limits that people are imposing on themselves. You don’t need a team to do a single fractal for the “daily fractal” and it doesn’t take that long.

The only complaint I have is that the do events needs to have the zone randomized for every person and/or all the events in the game need to scale better so that when there is a zerg of people there everyone can get credit. While I like being able to do events for the daily with my husband, it would be better to have people spread out into different zones.

I personally love the new daily system overall, but still don’t see why they needed changing. ~Shrug~

Yeah Zax…while it would be nice to have one of the exotic aquabreathers for everyone…I’m just going to put one on the character that I spend the most time on. And then just live with Masterwork or Rare for everyone else. It’s not even a unique skin so there’s no point in getting a light/med/heavy. I was hoping for a unique skin, but alas we were once again found wanting.

Yeah, I got one from PvP…so good to know it does have a chance (albeit a very tiny one) to come out of the gifts too.

So silly to make something account bound so terribly rare.

Has anyone gotten one from a Wintersday gift? The wiki says it drops, but the drop rate research shows 0 obtained in their (small) sample.

Is this as rare (or rarer) than the mini from halloween? If so I’m yet again disappointed with Anet’s decision on this.

Account bound + stupidly rare should never be a thing.

At least you can get one from pvp (I just want several of them though and don’t like pvp that much)…

Orpheal.8263:

1 Monster Hunter Token (can be used to trade for things, which World Bosses could drop, like the Sunless Weapons, like the Jormag Collection Starter Item, like Jormags Breath/Claw, or ascended Weapon/Armor Chests (for alot of MFT, like 250 or so) and so on, so that people can buy these things with MHT and we become finally more independent from that silly unfair way too low RNG drop rates, which reward some luckers permanently with good stuff and most others after hundreds and thousands of tries not a single valuable thing at all…)

This if nothing else..I love this idea. Maybe not the ascended weapon/armor chests, but definately for the boss specific drops like Sam, Pendant of Arah, etc. Make them account bound on acquire from this source so the market doesn’t suffer, but all boss specific items (Sunless chests included) should have something like this in place.

+1000 for this idea.

There is something odd going on with sometimes getting de-synced even here in the US…so it isn’t your Aussie connection. I’ve found sometimes you get a “perfect” score but still take damage for every single note you play (no damage for standing there doing nothing). The only fix I’ve found was to leave the stage and get back on. It’s a weird bug and I have no idea what causes it. Heck one time I got on stage and not a single note would play, left stage (got ejected), got back on and voila all better. It’s weird.

They said to put in a support ticket

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Pvp-Potion-Reward-Disappears/first#post4645404

I do hope the howler bug gets fixed eventually too. It was the first one my husband made (and I want to make one too)…but he hates using it right now because of the loss of the nighttime effects (since april).

If you have the recipes and mats, of course you can.

Don’t forget: The locket, the waypoints, Omadd’s machine….probably more I’m forgetting.

How many loose ends are there going to be?

Udolpho.1209:

The starting clothing, at the very least, could be converted into an outfit like the Cook’s, where the appearance changes based on the race equipping it. There’s no reason why it couldn’t be — that clothing already was meant to be dyed. It also could be a way of educating new players about the differences between armor and outfits, if given to every new character just as it always has been.

This. I want the racial outfits back if nothing else.

RoseofGilead.8907:

Tman.6349:

Do you have a brother/sister/wife/son that you can bribe and have them do it for you while you take a nap? That seemed to work for a few others.

Yup. My husband bribed me to do it for him.

Same, I did my husband’s as well LOL

For costumes you’ll have to contact support. I was able to get my celebration hat back this way as they could see in the records that I had purchased one from the gemstore at that time, but when the wardrobe came along it was no where to be found for me.

For dyes however you’ll just have to deal with the lost dyes because there is likely no way to tell what dyes you had.

Submit a ticket and give them the info on your missing hat and hopefully they’ll give you a replacement like they did for me.

Zaoda.1653:

Southsun Faren is the best mini to ever happen to GW2, so anything Lord Faren-related I’m all for :-P

Now I just wish Anet gave us a Lord Faren’s Underwear skin for summer.

I want the mini festive Lord Faren….so very much.
http://imgur.com/kO2M9T6

I want to know how he is acquired (probably gem store, but I will have him)

Minos.5168:

Granted it was a very low chance, but it’s the only thing confirmed to drop the Permanent Hairstyle Contract

They are still in the Black Lion Chests along with the other permanent contracts. They didn’t take them out and they do still drop (albeit extremely rarely)

things like transmutation charges, limited use finisher should just be automatically applied to the account when acquired unless the account is maxed on them. They serve no other purpose than to click and add to an inventory counter.

Luck needs a “use all” option when you right click on it. Please.

insanemaniac.2456:

dont think this complaint is valid, there are far too many nice mesmers around

Yeah I spent 30-45 minutes portaling people to Spekk’s lab the first day we could get the ornaments. He’s still there if anyone wants a port to that one.

I also have a mesmer parked at the end of Skipping stones (golden human chest) if anyone ever wants a port there.

If I do JPs on my mesmer, I always offer ports to people in the map. I understand that some people just can’t do them for whatever reason and like to help out.

My matches haven’t been updated either….not for 2 days. My score is stuck at 12/17 and I’ve played ranked matches since then.

Static.2853:

The ladder has about 1hour latency. Did you wait enough ?

Yeah we’ll I’ve played several ranked games in the past two days and the ladder still shows last updated 12/17/14 7:54 PM EST. I played a couple games on the 18th and a few more last night (19th)…. still hasn’t updated.

I’m not happy with the fact that I can’t team with friends, but at least the instances end properly now.

Yep. I salvaged them all for ectos.

I was hoping I could decorate my chimney-tree. But alas I could not. (Please let me move my tree)

The snowflakes do seem to be dropping more readily from the gifts. I really appreciate that.

Still too many runes/sigils dropping (all rarities).
Don’t need anymore of the collection starters (should just be at the vendor).
The tonic recipes are there…but they come out as a bag within a bag. So there’s RNG in my RNG.

WHY must we get bags that contain one item out of another bag. Why do you keep putting RNG bags in RNG bags. I’d understand if they had more than one item but they don’t. Oh look a minor rune/sigil bag dropped out of my RNG box. Let’s click some more for more RNG. Gee thanks. Sure they look pretty, but dear god why do you keep adding more bags within bags within bags? It is not helpful or desired. Just have the wintersday gifts directly drop the item that would be contained in the container.

Please save our hands from this incessant clicking bags that contain bags that need more clicking.

In regards to the above:
+1 to sigil of Generousity

A new version of the toymaker bag would be nice (maybe one that looks like the skrittaclaws bag). The original toymaker bag would be nice too (I have both versions and it would be nice to have an exclusive item, but I honestly don’t care that much)

The other stuff that isnt’ wintersday stuff though I wouldn’t put in there. I like the rare chance at 10 T6 mats as we currently get though. Please keep that.

They also upped the snowflake drops and they feel much more rewarding now (still too many runes/sigils, but whatever). Overall though. I like the changes.

I do wonder what the recipes for the tonics are now… “Wintersday-themed transform tonics can now be used as components in new Mystic Forge recipes.”

I hate that they don’t document everything…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-Currencies-The-Wallet/page/4#post4635452

On page 1 Colin said that spending from the bank was one of his options for what to do (which I don’t think anyone thought was the best solution). I still want the geodes & crests in my wallet. Currencies should go in the wallet. They should take the amazing suggestions put forth in that thread and make that happen. That would rock.

I guess this is a small step toward fixing the problem of loading us down with too much stuff, but it still doesn’t solve the problem of limited space for an item that is nothing more than a currency.

Holy kitten you’re lucky with drops.

5 ho-ho trons so far, endless tonics, recipe books. and you’re complaining because you hit a bad streak of RNG.

I’ve gotten 1 ho-ho tron and 1 recipe book. The rest pretty much nothing. It’s a bad streak of RNG which most of us deal with as the majority of our time in game. Be thankful you had a lucky streak before you got put down with the rest of us.

…. no

You don’t understand how many gifts I’ve opened.

Because you never said how many you’ve opened :p

How many aquabreathers did you get (did you get any)?

It is 5 out of 6. You don’t have to do the jumping puzzle.

If nothing else fix it so that costume brawl wins in the pvp lobby count towards the achievement. That could be a start of something that can be done while waiting.

or set up arcade machines somewhere…I don’t know :P

[humor me, I’m new to pvp and have no idea what is being talked about here]

What is esl? (the only thing I can think of is english as a second language and I know that is way off)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lwd/Paying-for-past-content

it was a few pages back.

Know this though:
You can play through the story with someone else who has it already unlocked to get the story.

The only reason to pay to unlock the episodes is to get the achievements and rewards for completing it. The first segments of season 2 gave us Mawdrey and Mawdrey II (ascended backpiece and item that “eats” bloodstone dust). The latest segments have given us the carapace armor collections and bioluminescent armor. Each of the story challenge achievements have given us ascended rings/amulets in one of the new stat combos. For me, I would unlock the episodes, and from here on out you will just need to log in once during the two week release to unlock the future episodes for free.

“One of the biggest problems is that we simply aren’t messaging any of the details to you in-game”

Ummm.

Like your odds of victory, what score you have to get to get N points, etc..

Ok. I see now. Yeah those are my top suggestions.

I too want to know these in-game (after the match of course). I’m not a competitive person at all, but it would help me to understand more what happened and what I might could have done differently.

I really don’t want to slog through the pvp track to get an aqua breather, but it’s looking like I’m going to have to.

Oh well…the new pvp daily rewards make it easier and more rewarding so I may just do that a couple times to finally get an exotic aquabreather for my mains. The rare one is nice because it is tradeable…we finally get an exotic aquabreather and it’s crazy rare and account bound. Oh joy.

At least they fixed the broken instances. Last night I finished my meta, and I joined an instance just starting (thank you) and would have made it all the way through a second time if I hadn’t hit the exit button instead of the wiggle chest. >.< (my own fault there)

I hate where my tree is in the Sylvari instance….it looks like a chimney on the roof of my house. I’d almost rather it be all the way at the top on the very top of the spiral on the house. At least there it would look nicely placed rather than an afterthought.

It’s really nicely placed in the Asura instance at least.

I expect and appreciate outfits for holidays….but once we’re past the holiday season here (Halloween/wintersday). I would really like a couple more armor skins. Okay, just one for each weight class would be nice. It doesn’t even have to be the same look for all three weight classes (it shouldn’t be).

Something nice for heavies (people will argue skimpy- not skimpy….just make it the same for male AND female)

Something without a long coat for medium armor. Heck, something with blue jeans and a vest and some sort of button up shirt (i.e. Wrangler/Cowboy Armor)

I would like something for light that had like Yoga pants/gaucho pants and a flowy shirt…..could call it Chic Armor or (I have no idea)
