I still need a way to burn/transmute/eviscerate/sell the 13 Jennahs I have.

Just commit Jenna-cide.

Making puns on forums is not allowed and is punishable!

Also, here’s a list of things that I would love to see in birthday gifts(And no, I don’t mean all of them at once):
- Transmutation Charges,
- Laurels,
- Some kind of endless tonic only available this way,
- Experience Scrolls that level your character up to level 30 or higher,
- Tomes of Knowledge,
- More mini-pets,
- Custom/Silly birthday weapon skins,
- Unique backpack skin(Like a giant gift, a pinata or something else),
- Some gems,
- Badges of Honour

Maybe I’m just greedy. :I

You’re a terrible person, and the only thing you’re getting is coal. (So you can make steel bars to make Ascended gear. :P)

And gems. Because everyone likes getting that $20 from nana on their birthdays.

Dang coal? I guess it was only a miner offense…..

I would like a recipe to do something with the excess Jennas besides Jenna-cide though. Even if it only returned coal. XD

Ranked matches give more progress towards the reward tracks for the same amount of effort they put into it.

That’s my only guess and that’s why I join ranked matches when I do PvP….but I put in an honest effort to win and play.

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

I thought in this regard the old system worked fine. There was a 2 minute countdown before the match started, which, it seemed to me, was enough time for everyone to get into the game.

Would it be frustrating if AFK players caused you to wait 2 minutes at a time when the match is ready only to place you back into queue?

If there isnt’ anything to do in HoTM then people are going to afk there and people are going to be waiting anyways.

Also… Did you fix it so that costume brawl wins count for the “King of the Costume Brawl” while in HoTM? (I submitted an in-game bug report quite a while ago about that)

If you fixed that then people can costume brawl while waiting and work on that achievement…

If it still doesn’t count while you’re there then I’ll just have to forgo PvP because there are other things I’d rather be doing than standing around waiting for matches.

I’ve bought the extra pieces I needed for the collections with badges…if I happen to get lucky and get boxes as drops that’s just free silk and possible ectos.

Just select the light version and salvage for silk & ectos.

What’s the difference between Ranked & Unranked besides the name?

Did they remove the speech bubbles too? (I hope so) There shouldn’t be speech bubbles for any character dialogue except what we put in the chat. At least Tyria will be a little bit quieter now when people have the backpack hidden. I still hate having to turn off dialogue in large zergs when multiple people have this back item, but I know where the volume slider is.

The last two times I did this event, I didn’t get the golden/silver chest. Finished the achievements for it and won’t be doing it again until this is fixed.

I’m having the same problem… I too opened another thread elsewhere and it can be merged with this one. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Quit-Episode-Not-working-Properly/first#post4580404

DeWolfe.2174:

Or, previous items that were turned into less than desirable tonics coming back as armor skins???? Khaki Cargo pants, the Ornate shirt, and the hoodie? We haven’t forgotten about these items from the mix and match threads.

Also, the T-shirt for those of us whom bought the game after the launch.

Those should have just been made into outfits. I mean, they took the time to give the one off pieces a whole outfit so why couldn’t those be outfits too?

GM Talon.8726:

Update:

We’ve identified the issue and the fix will be implemented with an upcoming release. Once the fix has been confirmed to be working, I will update this thread again to let everyone know. We will be sending one of these Golem Bankers to each account that was affected by the bug shortly thereafter.

That’s awesome. Thanks much for the update. My husband and I both get one with new characters and it can be frustrating when you try to use it. It’s an extra bonus that we’ll get a replacement too. Thanks for the incoming fix!

I had activated a previous episode to do achievements, and I’m stuck with the grey “incomplete” star next to it eventhough I’ve clicked “quit this episode”. I’ve finished the episode on this character AND I’ve completed the story on this character. I really don’t want to have to re-do the entire episode just to get the gold chest to appear.

first screenshot shows “you’ve completed and unlocked” and the “quit this episode button”

Screenshot two: I then started the latest episode and you can see the grey star is there.

Screenshot three: And yet…I have all the achievements so the gold chest should be there like the previous ones.

Yep, they fixed this a couple patches ago. It has made me VERY happy. Thank you!

Archomeda.6472:

That Guy.5704:

One thing, though is that the SAB category is the largest header and was a limited time event. it seems like it could fit with the “festivals” category if festivals were renamed something else. but that is the name in the bank for that section as I recall.

Hmm, very true. Since most of these items should be hidden if you don’t have it, it shouldn’t get too cluttered, unless you have them all. I’ll move them and see what happens.
According to the release page, SAB (along with festivals) is now categorized as a special event. The name in the material storage for festival materials is “Festive”, but I don’t consider SAB items as festive items. So I’m not sure what name would fit best for both festivals and SAB. Though, for now I’ll leave it at festivals.

That Guy.5704:

unstyled withdraw dialog added to archomeda’s grid view. (go to dungeons -> pristine fractal to open it). default values a good idea? http://swalsh81.github.io/gw2improvedwallet/

Looks good, although the “default” values varies from item to item. It would be awesome if those values are set differently that makes the most sense for each item.
Actually, seeing such a window like this, it makes me wonder if ArenaNet could expand that to vendors…

That looks a whole lot better with SAB moved over to festivals. I want this so much to be a reality in game.

I also miss being able to kill the nearby minotaurs for this heart. That’s typically how I did it.

The rabbits still chase and knock down…..and Linea’s event isn’t at this heart anymore and her event used to count for this heart which was another way to get this heart done. But no longer.

OMG Archomeda’s design is gorgeous and is exactly what we need. I love the grid view and would rather than with the tabs at the top than the list view with the scroll bar. Either way though, I want that. So much. I don’t think the SAB stuff needs to be in there, and I can take or leave the pristine relics.

What’s great though is the “withdraw” and would make it so that if in the future some of these currencies became Mystic Forge Tokens, they could be regained to use in the recipe.

I love it so much, I hope they take your design to heart and implement something like that because it is flat out amazing.

5 races each having two genders (M/F) = 10 of each race
8 different professions

By my count that would be 80 different combos…so the limit should be 80 for anyone that wants to create one of everything. I guess since Charr and Asura are sometimes “gender neutral” in the armor/hairstyles they made it so that you’d only be able to make half as many charr/asura? That’s my only guess.

Rauderi.8706:

GamerOnline.3650:

Most MMOs are like this when it comes to their lore and content.

Yeah, I still can’t name my pet wolf Indiana in WoW. :\

And I can’t name any of my pets here “Party”…why?

But yes, they updated the name filters and if you just changed the letters to be something else but the same name, you’ll likely be reported by someone and you’ll have to change your name again. Best to find an original name.

Yeah, I cut down like 6 trees (elder/ancient) and got three of them. It’s all RNG.

Arianhod.3485:

^this, also I suggest to use it anyway (even if not trying the achiev) because the dmg output is awesome

This exactly. We burned that first room so fast it was awesome.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

Well . . . I did all the Living Story achievements, got the maze achievements, got the pieces for the lining, truffle, and ring for the glove achievements, and killed at least three champion bosses in the pit over the night . . . and not one fang.

Not even one from the Extracted Mordrem Teragriff Part reward bag: 2 tendons and a chest-something.

Gotta love RNG.

Guess that fang extractor coming in two weeks is for the extremely unlucky like myself.

Really? Wow. I thought the story rewarded Teragriff part was a guaranteed Fang…I got three Teragriff Fangs. o.o I’m so sorry you didn’t get one.

I guess I’ve been extra lucky the only fang I’m missing is from Thrasher…in fact that’s the only piece I’m missing to get my luminescent gloves. I did have to try a couple times at Amber, but I wound up getting it.

And if anyone doesn’t know, you get a guaranteed greater nightmare key if your map can get all the breach champs down. The very first map I got into after doing the story succeeded. We need to band together (and not afk) to get the map organized….no idea how to do that though. The best map I was ever on got to the breach within 15 minutes and we killed all the champs. (This was sometime last week)

But don’t we get a black lion key each time we complete it? I haven’t done it on an alt yet, but if that’s the case I"m happy with the trade off here.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Claw_Island

It is only accessible via the personal story

I could see that being abused/used so that players on opposite sides would team up to farm the dolyak slayer achievement. Though 1 million yaks killed is still excessive and would take a long time even if you farmed them in this manner.

Yep, that’s them Zaxares. They’re an awesome group of folks. I managed to get 3 fossils during one sandstorm yesterday and finished my collection! And I have 50 lockpicks left.

For me I found that going in without a group got me more fossils because every time I was partied up I got none….but a friend had the opposite happen, she partied up and found more that way. XD All superstition.

Geodes and Crests…much like dungeon tokens have no other use that to spend at a vendor. There is no reason these two items need to exist as an actual item. I think it would be easier to add them to the wallet rather than make them a material and enable spending items from there. And making them a material puts people against the max # of their collection storage. I vote wallet for these two items (and any other zone currencies you might add in the future).

Option 3 is always: don’t add new currencies so inventory/bank isn’t overwhelmed with stacks upon stacks of items and you don’t have to add anything to the wallet.

But since we’ve moved past that we have two additional currencies, they need to be added to the wallet.

(edited for clarity)

Vanive.3804:

Pretty sure the vocal minority on these forums aren’t gonna change it. Most players in the game aren’t bothered by it, it’s just the fickle ones on the forums complaining about it. Soon as you take away the sound in game, people won’t be happy.

I hated to do it, but I’ve now muted ALL game dialogue. I absolutely hate that I had to do that because I quite enjoy every other bit of dialogue in the game.

I’m not suggesting removing it completely, just move it to instrument slider or make the sounds that relate to jumping, weapon swapping, killing things, knocked down, fall damage, being downed, being revived, fear are all specific to the character wearing it.

They took a character that I enjoyed in the game and over saturated it to the point that I now loathe him.

I personally think this is a bug and as such I opened a thread there…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Defend-Nebo-Terrace

someone else felt the same way…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Nebo-Terrace-Event-bugged

Sounds like you want the China VIP system…

I do not. Not now. Not ever.

I buy gems when I can to support them because I love the game and enjoy the gem store items I get and the account upgrades (storage, character slots, etc. I do not support the OP’s idea.

Behellagh.1468:

Here’s a question. Do other players hear the copper fed salvage kit when it talks? I’ve never heard one other than mine. If not then why can’t the backpack and logging tool also be local to just the player who owns it?

Does the logging tool talk and is audible to other players too? I haven’t seen one in the “wild” yet. Even if it does talk, that’s not a huge problem. You can hear other peoples harvesting items too.

My biggest issue is the text bubbles and audio that you normally wouldn’t hear from another player.

I still think it’s a bug in scaling… https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Defend-Nebo-Terrace/first#post4556846

Monk Tank.5897:

Add something in options to disable the voice over. Just because you paid 500 gems for it, does not mean i should have to listen to it if i don’t want to. This is past annoying now.

smh
I really don’t understand this. A game with lots of annoying sounds and you target one that annoys you because people paid money for it? I’m sure you are OK with Birthday blaster though. I’m calling shenanigans…

The difference between this backpack and the regular noises a character makes is this:

1- When jumping or getting a status effect the player character either doesn’t make noises or does so at a much lower volume than the backpack.

2- The volume of the backpack is much louder than weapon skills, player character sayings and other ambient sounds.

3- The fact that the sayings from the backpack have speech bubbles makes this item not only AUDIBLY intrusive but also VISUALLY intrusive.

4- I do not need to hear when another player:

• On kill
  “Commencing—search—for—loose—change.”
  “Congratulations. You—killed—something.”
  “I—will—notify—the—next—of—kin.”
  “Kill—count—plus—one.”
  “Threat—exterminated.”

• On weapon swap
  “Always—keep—the—enemy—guessing.”
  “Where—were—you—hiding—that?”

• Knocked down
  “Error: Positional—orientation—is—horizontal. Recommend—vertical.”

• Jumping and leap
  “Boing.”
  “You—jumped”.
  “Your—grawl—impression—is—really—coming—along.”

• Dodge
  “Begin—evasive—maneuvers.”
  “Whee!”

• Falling damage
  “Gravity—test: complete.
  Gravity: confirmed.”
  “I—expected—a—larger—impact—crater.”
  “Score—update: gravity—1, you—0.”
  “Thank—you—for—breaking—my—fall.”

• Low health and low health while downed.
  “Further—damage—to—user—could—be—catastrophic.”
  “Termination—imminent.”

• Rally
  “Commence—second—wind—protocol.”

• Reviving allies
  “Gratitude—leads—to—gratuities.”
  “Ground-rubbing—complete.”
  “It—was—all—me.”
  “No—thanks—necessary. Some—coins—would—be—nice, though..”
  “Replica—Job-o-Tron—to—the—rescue”.
  “Welcome—back—to—life.”

• When fearing enemies
  “Run, coward”
  “Be—afraid”

The rest for the conditions a player takes…okay that’s fine because our characters DO say audible things for that. But I do not need to hear when a character changes weapons, jumps, kills something, revives someone, etc. Those sayings should only be audible to the character wearing the backpack.

Edited for formatting and to add this…I used to love Job-o-Tron. This backpack has made me hate him.

I need 4 more to finish the collection and hate how rare they are (for me). My husband has finished the collection and has 20+ more fossils >.<

Thankfully, the DTOP guild does T6 maps at least 1-2 times a week so I’ve gotten all the recipes purchased…now to collect more geodes to buy more keys to hopefully get those last 4 I need!

Good luck to you OP!

Azzer.8137:

I for one like the new trait system a lot, it’s like in Gw1 where you had to go out in the world and use a signet of capture, but i guess most people today are entitled little idiots who don’t like to work for anything at all.

Also this is insane i know, but i know a way to get a traid withouth doing the event/boss/veteran/whatever.

ok here it comes…..

you can BUY it straight of a trainer! OMG!!!!! so insane!!! whaaaat so you are saying that i can actually just buy them instead of crying like a little kitten ?

Yes that is correct.

Hmm. Well in GW1 you got skills to start with so you could go out and capture the other skills.

Here we get 0 traits to start with.

Trait hunting is good, but dang it give us something to start with. I want to make more alts…I’d even buy more character slots but the whole “you can’t have any traits at all to start with” is really a pain. I’ve made a few characters since they implemented this and wind up buying a starting build and haven’t managed to fully get every trait on a single one of them yet. Yes, I’ve tried. Can’t experiment with builds if you don’t have traits. Or maybe their thought was here let them try something new and by something new we mean playing without traits.

Marmatt.8590:

Thats not what im talking about :p im talking about the small gifts like the zypher kite, that would be free to those who bought gems within the past month or so. Not the free gifts on the gem store. Although they are widely appreciated.

I know, and I love my kite and Mini Mr. Sparkles and Green Quaggan Backpack, but those types of promos seem to be much rarer. Any freebie we get is much apprecited though

They did recently do a week of freebies. We got a week long banker golem, some dyes, a key (I think), booster, and a couple other items. It happened about a month ago.

Yes! Absolutely yes, that would be amazing. I’m always for better organization!

Kocoff.7582:

i finally found it.South of Kessex. too bad they just give 1 in kessex :/

There are several nodes around Kessex, each node will give you one spore and the respawn time on the nodes is about 15 minutes (don’t know exactly). If you can locate 3-4 nodes you can generally walk from one to the next, killing things along the way and by the time you’re done the first should be respawned.

Yes, absolutely yes. I started one of the other threads and we most certainly need geodes and the bandit crests added to the wallet. I have over 2k crests and am working on my third stack of geodes….my bank has no room so I’m forced to carry them on me >.<

Mistress Elemental.3750:

Were the skins all sent out at once or are they slowly being sent? Is there still hope to be had?

No hope left if you didn’t get one. They sent them all out yesterday. Grats to the winners….maybe I’ll get a good loot roll on something else (highly unlikely)…yes I’m cynical.

I’ve seen that when I play with a friend of mine who plays ele. Tazza hates elementalists almost as much as the Butcher in HoTW hates Rangers.

Gudy.3607:

It’s been that way, I think, since the September feature patch or at least thereabouts, when that event got uptuned to be pretty much unwinnable. There were lots of complaints then, but apparently nothing has changed in the intervening months. :-(

Wow, that is crazy. When I went back later I brought a friend and we had to stand outside of the circle and managed to kill most of them, but then there were the stampedes of elites and they took it because not one of us could stay in the circle. It just feels really wrong and I can’t imagine how many people it would take to kill that many mobs without scaling it up even more. o.o

I had to go back and watch the trailer myself…yep several mini Gwyns in the trailer. Thanks for rubbing it in. -_-

Oh well… I didn’t expect to win anyways.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Prevent_the_centaurs_from_capturing_Nebo_Terrace

Something is terribly wrong with the scaling on this event. I realize this is a group event but there was 4-5 of us there and there was no way we could possibly succeed the event. I did do a bug report in game just after the event failed and I went back to check to make sure that it didn’t get weirdly scaled up just before I got there.

With 4 people there 3-4 champs spawned and the second half of the event was nearly all Elites. I have done this event before and done it successfully by myself despite it being a group event and never have I seen it spawn this many vets and elites. Most of the mobs were veterans, very few were standard mobs. I can’t even imagine trying to do this event on a character that is only level 28.

Hopefully someone can take a look at the event in Nebo Terrace and see what’s going on there. I tried succeeding this event several times and we never succeeded. What is going on here?

Hopefully the sounds will get moved to the instrument slider. The only thing more annoying than this backpack are human female guardians with their shrill shouts….but I can live with that.

There’s also a chance to get the shoulder box from defeating a champ during the breach…I got two that way.

Pennry.9215:

Rashy.4165:

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Not sure what the problem here is. After we trigger the assault, and kill all the bosses, we zerg around hunting for chests for 5 minutes. We redo the event, complete, zerg, rinse and repeat. My only complaint is the lack of bank access.

The key detail here is that all other fortresses are neglected, and only Amber is defended. While this does progress the meta, it’s a lot less efficient.

Honestly, I wish ArenaNet had made it a mandatory requirement to hold all Forts at level 3 defence to trigger the breach.

Today I joined (randon on login) a chest farming map. It was horrid for actual profit per hour compared to an organized full map completing map. First, I didn’t get a single shovel the whole time – defending every time it was up. I think the higher the defense rating, the higher the shovel chance. I also received fewer gear bags and no rare gear bags from the breaches.

A completing map seems to get me way more of all the bags faster. In between defenses, I could easily hit up several chests outside any fort I opted to be at. The extra rare loot bags from killing more breach champs really add up. And the breach happens faster (or at least seems to) when the map is doing everything. Let alone more of the regular gear bags that can give rares and exotics too.

Straight shovel farming seems less efficient than other areas of the game. I think most people just aren’t realizing this and/or are preferring to mooch other’s shovels/work.

I was in a super organized map last night with the DTOP guild and from start to breach it took 15-18 minutes and we got all of the champs killed very quickly. Then during the break phase we chest farmed. This seems so much more fun and profitable than just champ bags….but I know how awesome it feels to get a stack of champ bags so quickly even if you don’t get much in the way or rares out of them. (I don’t anyways). I’ve also been in one of the chest farm maps and it is insane. People ignore the events in lieu of opening chests and that just doesn’t seem right. During the rubble events and between, sure…but while we’re defending you see people uncovering chests and searching for more. Just doesn’t feel right. As long as there are some organized maps going, I say leave it as is and let them farm their champ bags. I can’t wait to see what we get with the next patch and what will eventually happen when the breach succeeds. (I do hope there’s something more coming to this zone)

The same goes for personal story. There is no incentive to help other people with their story unless you’re on the same part. Sad really.
