Guild Wars 2

Yeah but before, if something happened and you picked the wrong path, exiting and re-entering wouldn’t reset the instance and now that bug is fixed. What happens when the path bugs out and you can’t complete the dungeon. Before we had to completely disband the party, someone else had to open the dungeon and re-invite everyone to ensure we got a new instance of the dungeon and not be stuck with the bugged instance. While this might be a minor inconvenience for people soloing, this is a huge help for people in groups. Edit: And if the entire party disconnects at the same time, I’m pretty sure there might something more important to worry about than then dungeon path getting reset.

All I want at this point is the defeated camera to be fixed. I don’t want it to move after I move it to stop it from spinning.

I bet we won’t even get decorations in LA because of the destruction.

The whole post reads like Living story Hype!!! oh yeah and the same holidays as last year because we couldn’t bother.. but EXCITING Story conclusion!

Halloween is my most favorite holiday and I’m looking forward to what little we get in game, but dangit if I’m not disappointed in their “hype”.

Yeah I want to know what happens in the living story too, but Halloween & Wintersday should be important too and it feels like they’re getting the short end of the stick.

“I was the favorite!”

What mini says this? I’ve been trying to figure it out. >.<

Yes, I really want this item back! Was hoping to see it last Easter….maybe next Easter? Crosses fingers

They are lost. You can’t unlock them that way.

Edit: I found the post about this. Here is your official word on minis & the forge.

Rebound.3409:

It’s not about how much u get it’s about the quality of what u get. In GW2 u can literally fill your inventory over 100 times and at the end have nothing worth. I prefer having 10 items in my inventory after a day of play…but out of those 10, 3 to be actually good items.

Yes, you fill your inventory many times over and at the end you have crafting materials which many of us use. They are worth something and I would much prefer this way than to wind up with a whole 10 items for the whole day and three “good” items out of that.

I think we also need some kind of algorithm that scan all chat channels and If it detect ERP it should auto perma ban players who do it

o.O
First. This is off topic.
Second. If they’re in private channels there is no problem. If you see it in a public chat channel report for “offensive” whatever if it bothers you.

GOSU.9574:

Loot in this game is the saddest part of this game. Crappiest loot in any MMO I have ever played.

One thing that history will reveal, years later this game will be known as the WORST loot MMO ever.

You never played GW1….that game had abysmal loot! At least here you get something about every other mob. I had about 30 slots in my bag and I’d be lucky to fill it up clearing an entire map.

I honestly have never seen the difference between the “old” and “new” running animations, but I admittedly don’t like playing human characters despite having two of them. The idle animations would be nice to have back.

I want to be a bunny for halloween! I lack Bunny ears!

Also: a 10-15 slot account wide inventory bag to be used across all characters. I would pay 1000 gems for that if it existed.

You already get the tokens?

Was that a question?

No.
That was more like a statement. I don’t see a point in adding those chests as you can already buy weapons and armor with the tokens.
So basically a /no from my side..

That’s like saying you can get rings with fractal relics so why are they in the daily chest?

While i have most of the dungeon weapons & armor skins unlocked, having an additional chance at getting an exotic item would be nice. I would be all for having dungeon specific armor/weapons dropping from the end chest in the dungeon (if one exists).

Is there any update on pinning down the camera (and a fix)? I do hope it is in a patch tomorrow. I’ve taken to just going to my map screen to avoid the camera altogether, and that sucks because I’d rather watch others fight on the occasions that I go down.

Please someone come in and say you’re at least still working on it or something. >.<

Personally I’d go. OOh Free things! and move on. I do occasionally send my friends random notes like “EPIC LOOT” and inside is a black lion chest or a minor sigil or something.

I never get creepy messages in game…must be exciting getting mail! haha

I have 10 characters at 100% map completion and 3 more in progress….The rewards aren’t the best sometimes …..come on leeks for cursed shore >.< But they are better than they were (do you remember getting low level greens for finishing Cursed Shore?).

The XP boost for finishing the map is fine as is I think, you get a whole bunch as you’re working on the zone already. And personally, I like the lower tier items for the lower zones because when you’re lvl 80 it’s harder to get those mid-tier crafting materials. I need so much wool…someone send me wool!. >.>

I’ve had this happen several times and it is quite annoying. I’m guessing that Tzark gets knocked back into a column getting him stuck there. Absolutely nothing works to fix this bug. I’ve bug reported it in game each time it has happened, so they have the game log info about it somewhere, it’s just a matter of tracking down how to stop it from happening.

Maybe make Tzark immune to knockback or something.

>Ebonmane’s Greatbow: 2 +5 Agony resistance (total 10)
You have to have it as your active weapon to apply AR.

Yup, that.

Exactly that. The screenshot shows you using sword/warhorn, not the longbow.

Same thing applies if you have AR on your helm and you go underwater. You’re now using the aquabreather and will not have the AR that is applied to your terrestrial helm.

Yes, they’re gone for good. You had to claim them during the following week or lose them forever.

How Do I Get Rewards?

To be eligible for rewards for any given matchup, you need only earn that match’s weekly World Contributor achievement. Then, all you have to do is talk with the Battle Historian NPC during the next week’s matchup to earn your rewards. It is important to note: You must claim your rewards in the week following the matchup in which they were earned. Rewards that are not claimed during the following week will be forfeited.

Purecura.1795:

I understand where you are coming from. I value your opinion! However thats where I must say, I love knowing that my team mates are alive because Im helping them stay alive. In a way its like real life, everyone contributes to something differently than others. some are good at supporting, while others are good at tackling a problem head on. Which is why I love supporting my team mates and keeping them alive. it makes me feel good. Just like it makes you feel good to smack things around, pressing through mobs with your own strength.

P.S: Nothing wrong with FLUFFY stuffs XD

Oh yeah absolutely….I prefer to be independent and do everything on my own, both in-game and IRL.

Fluffy things can indeed be fun but I’m really a hit ’em hard kinda girl. Glad you found a way to enjoy the game as it is

As for Heavy “clothy” armor also check out Braham’s armor from the gemstore. Worn with different shoulders, and a different helm it could totally work for you!

Finally, some girly weapons. Hopefully I can pick one or two up before the price raises.

how exactly are those weapons girly?

The design is very elegant and feminine to me, unlike the flame themes that are rough. I do have my female charr with a flame theme though, but it’s very rare to find sleek weapons like these with a girly flare (besides the lovestruck ones).

The flame theme weapons seem to be the type of thinks that a high school kid would love, while the tempest is slick, elegant (which it not really feminine). The flame tries too hard to be cool.

I like the flame theme too=3 Like my husband loves skulls and flames, so I guess that’s why I see it more of a male theme (or charr theme). The tempest I see as more of a feminine theme because of its gentle look. But oh well, everyone has their own opinions and their own way of viewing art.

Heh, at the risk of perpetuating stereotypes, I’m afraid I and my girlfriend fit this exact pattern as well. I favour dark, grimmer weapons and armor, while my girlfriend wants that Tempest staff to replace her existing one on her Ele.

Complete opposite here…I want Kraitkin to be my staff and love dark, grimmer type things and my husband made dreamer to kill things with the power of friendship. :P

The Tempest skins though are nice and I got the torch because torches are cool.

We will have to agree to disagree. The thing I hate most about traditional trinity type games is having to rely on a “healer” to do things. Heal your dang self is my motto. :P

Guardian is mostly my main and her philosophy is kill it with fire. I’ll provide boons and such to folks, but I will never spec her out to be pure support…feels like such a waste of a guardian to me. I know I don’t do as much damage as a warrior but I love the guardian utilities and abilities. Perhaps you should play an elementalist.

Disclaimer: I love the hack and slash classes. I want to do as much damage as I possibly can and faceroll stuff and take care of myself. Floofy support stuff is not in any way my playstyle.

I would very much like to know what’s up with Hero of the People: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hero_of_the_People

I have champ bags that once said “collectible” but opening one of them did nothing to collections. I now have a bunch stored in my bank in hopes that we get word that it is fixed OR removed. One way or the other, it would be really nice to find out.

Is it a bug that it can’t be unlocked?
Was it planned to be a collection, but later removed and won’t be coming back?

Same questions for
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fine_Wining
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Brewmaster

and if Brewmaster is coming back….what happened to the Golden Ale?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stein_of_Golden_Ale

The collections are great, but it would be really nice to get some sort of red-name response to say either Not sure, but I’ll look into it -or- Yes it has been removed, open your champ bags and don’t worry about trying to unlock the beer/wine collections anymore.

Just because they’re discussing it in a CDI doesn’t mean you’ll ever get it.

Don’t get your hopes up. I’m interested to see their take on it, but if it’s super elitist BS, then I don’t want it. If it’s just a step above dungeons, that could be fun.

I don’t want 1-shot mechanics or other crap that makes things artificially “hard”. Making a boss go invulnerable or untargetable is stupid and should be avoided.

I click skills 6-0 so it’s quite frustrating when trying to click a skill while in combat and hitting it just wrong and instead you get the popup to change skills instead. It has gotten me killed several times. I’d love this fixed soon.

Any possible idea when this might be fixed? It is really annoying in dungeons.

I love the new harvesting tools.

It makes no sense at all why this change happened. I mean really what harm was doing watchknight dungeon runs? Why?

Sorry, not sorry. I still love this map :P

Whether I’m the puller or pulee…it’s still hilarious to see all the fun ways to die.

Is it true that it completely removes Charr tails?

I’d really like to know if this is going to get fixed or not…..I’m running out of bank space. I noticed that once upon a time some of the boxes did say “collectible” and now they do not. Has this just been removed?

Lucente.5071:

Id love a gw2 bandana skin in the gem store for a similar price to the sailors beanie. I loved the gw1 bandana, shame you cant get one any more unless you have the bad female norn hair with it.

There’s your Bandana, and it’s dyable.

I still want bunny ears, pretty please <3

We were two people short for a guild run and I posted a LFG that said something to the effect of “Must say ’I’m Hodor’ on join or kick.” Then we proceeded to Hodor the heck out of the Hodor of Waves. A fun time was had by all….upon finishing one of the pugs said “You guys are crazy.”

One we posted asked for people to say “I love Toast”…. it’s always fun to see if people read the LFG or just blindly join.

I did see an AC path 1 LFG asking to ping ascended gear on join. o.O

I was really hoping to see “Automatic camera rotation while defeated will no longer restart after the camera is moved.” in the patch notes today….hopefully next patch.

It was fixed on March 26th, 2013, maybe there’s something with that patch that can help point towards fixing this. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-March-26-2013

Thanks Branden for letting us know that it’s being looked at. fingers crossed for a fix soon

I would so love to be able to group the people on my friends list, have the custom name show there and be able to see last online there.

I thought it was only for collections which are for achievements which are all account bound. That would be the reason.

The key is an exotic accessory. That would be useful to any character that didn’t have ascended accessories yet.

I don’t have the key yet, but wouldn’t it be buyable (after unlocking) on the Collectibles vendor in LA? Unlocked ascended dungeon accessories are.

Cool, so there is a way to get more of the dungeon accessories. Was wondering what would happen if you delete the one you get (or want more for other toons). Haven’t finished a dungeon collectibles yet so I haven’t been able to test it out.

How much/what do you have to give to get another one?

They’re the same price as the ones thru the Laurel Vendor (40 Laurels + 5g)…wish the guild commendation option was there too though.

You can also get extra copies of the recipes you unlock thru the grawl, Hylek, krait, etc collections. Those are 4 laurels and 10 silver (I think, not entirely sure though).

The golden Ale from the monastery in queensdale is missing now too. It’s a shame because that was the cheapest way to get Thirst Slayer (thankfully I’m done).

zaced.7948:

no, absolutely no. even the watchwork pick should get it’s bonus taken from it.

If you take away the bonus I’d be very upset, and so would many others. And even more than that the price of sprockets would climb as the only other resource for sprockets is the home node. Keep the price of sprockets reasonable by keeping the bonus on that pick as is.

I like the OP’s idea, but would refine it to only include bonuses that are either impossible to get (Azurite Orbs) or very restricted currently (Toxic Spores).

Right now, there is no way to obtain new Azurite Orbs. We can get Azurite crystals from the molten fractal but you cannot upgrade them. Either we get a way to refine those crystals into orbs, the ori nodes get added back to that map, or a rare chance to obtain an azurite orb (INSTEAD of one of the other orbs) be added to the molten pick.

Toxic Spores can only be gotten from Kessex and the toxic spore events and even then it is only one spore per node group. Either they up the chance to get a pristine spore to 1-4 per group in Kessex and events or there be a chance to get them from the Dreamcleaver Axe.

The other suggestions the OP gave, I wouldn’t think are needed as the other items suggested are fairly common drop either during their respective festivals or can be easily gotten elsewhere.

If for some reason the two items did get upgraded they would need to put them back in the gem store for several weeks to allow people to get them. I have all three sets (minus the two new molten items) and would love some reason to use one of the other items. Either way I don’t see them changing any of the harvesting items from how they currently work.

I now have all 13 of my characters fully mapped in WvW thanks to the easy week we’re having. I almost feel sorry for Mags and FA……but then I don’t because I got killed plenty while trying to map (and killed plenty myself).

That’s the problem with this thread. People belonging to active WvW servers are here giving advice on how easy it has to be for everybody. When they are not realizing that there are servers out there with low population that are not active in WvW plus there are players out there belonging to these servers, who do not have that much time to play due to real life responsibilities to begin with.

I never said it is or should be easy for everyone. I know that those on lower pop servers are going to have a hard time. But it is still possible to finish map completion even if it’s a couple camps or towers a week. EB will always be the hardest for people to finish regardless of tier (unless you get thrown into a match with servers who can’t compete with your coverage).

Mapping WvW should NOT be easy. 96% of the world is easy, there is only a small portion that must be worked for and done strategically.

This week for TC is only because of the weirdness of the Swiss rotation and I never expected to be able to finish all of my characters’ WvW mapping.

khani.4786:

There really is no reason in my mind that a player that focuses on a single game mode should be to get a legendary as it (in theory) proves you’ve at least some some of all of the game modes except sPvP.

At the risk of upsetting you too which I apologize, but owning a legendary in no way means you’ve played PvP at all, you can obtain your so called legendary right after you’ve hit 80 (even at level 1, if you don’t mind it taking up an inventory slot for 79 levels.) all it requires is real world cash, or enough gold farmed up by whichever means, no need to WvW at all in fact you never have to click the button, guess what? you can do that as a solo, and you’d never have to talk to a single person to do it either.

Again I apologize for any unintended belittling of your efforts for your own legendary(s) acquisitions, I’m sure your path that gives you a feeling of accomplishment for yourself has made you happy, but to deny others their happiness is just selfish.

I completely agree with you, anyone with a credit card and the will to spend that much money can have a legendary day 1 when they log into the game….but someone out there made that legendary and at least part of that legendary is an account bound set of gifts that the original creator had to put in at least some effort into creating. It’s not how I got mine because I worked for mine. The fact they can be sold on the trading post, I feel, cheapens the end result. (but I still love mine).

Back on the original topic, map completion takes time and even if you’re on a server that’s lower down and facing opposition, there is always a time when your server can get a group together to go take things that people need. Get a group together, buy some rams and go take it. “prime time” is probably not the best time to do it, but eventually you’ll be able to get everything.

I now have all 13 of my characters fully mapped in WvW thanks to the easy week we’re having. I almost feel sorry for Mags and FA……but then I don’t because I got killed plenty while trying to map (and killed plenty myself).

Vanive.3804:

Stop complaining …..3 types of phase 2 champs drop loot, ..and if no one kept champs busy they would kill those doing the rest of the event…I’ve seen it before and people at the event complain about the champs on them.

Phase 1 champs do not drop loot, but they need to be kept in check….there is is 1-2 champs at the pre event (last crystal) that sometimes spawns champs.

Generalize much? I kill the champs and I run up and dump damage on the claw, most of us do. As for the afk people in the back who wait for phase 2, that’s their prerogative…let them play how they wanna play. Not hurting you is it? Maybe you think it’s unfair. Life is not fair sometimes, get over it and play the game.

Pointless complaint thread is pointless.

This right here. When I do Jormag I sometimes participate in phase 1, depending on how distracted I get with harvesting nodes and moas…and phase 2 I kill champs to get loot and keep them away from golems and when he’s stunned I whallop on the dragon. We all win. What the OP is talking about I’ve never seen. Phase 2 usually has him stunned twice then dead.

No, not in the gemstore. If anything it should be a reward track in PvP.

All I would really like in any new track is a way to get the old sets that are no longer obtainable. The track would unlock once you reached the rank you could start getting them when they were available. It would be nice if pieces could be unlocked along the way with the end reward being something special and unique only to PvP. I don’t know what though, maybe give a 20 slot bag and a good number (20-30) obsidian shards, dragonite and/or T6 materials.

Rank 1 – Track unlocks to get Guild Archmage/Watchman/Defender Armor
Rank 10- Track unlocks to get Apostle Armor
Rank 20 – Track unlocks to get Stalwart Armor
Rank 30 – Track unlocks to get Heavy Plate Armor
Rank 40 – Track unlocks to get Tribal Armor (It was at Wolf Rank, but this set is sought after by many and should remain harder to get than the rest.)
Rank 50 – Maybe unlock the Glorious Armor here instead of being available for anyone as it currently is
Rank 60 –
Rank 70 –
Rank 80 -

PvP is not my preferred place in the game, but I believe there should be unique rewards for PvP. Rewards unlocking at certain ranks I think might help those that have reached high ranks to be able to show off what they’ve done.

I would love to get the tribal armor for myself and if I had to push myself up to a higher rank I would do it and I would work to get better at PvP to obtain it. Right now, there’s nothing besides the finishers to work for in getting to a higher rank. The rank up chests are lame too because there’s nothing special in them anymore.

Automatic camera rotation while defeated will no longer restart after the camera is moved.

Ever since the 9/9/14 patch this has been broken, can we please get a fix for this? It is quite annoying while doing dungeons/fractals. Any of the other game modes I can just respawn, but it really makes me sick to my stomach to not be able to keep the camera still when dead during a dungeon run.

Thank you.

I do dungeons every day and this camera change is infuriating.

“Automatic camera rotation while defeated will no longer restart after the camera is moved.”

Please put this back. Pretty please.

Seriously…please, can you fix this already.

Vayne.8563:

The reason I think having a legendary should including the major game modes is because I see it as a reward for mastering all aspects of the game. Leaving out the buying and selling aspect (which I never agreed with), I think that the idea of crafting it, and showing that you’ve got the gift of battle and the gift of magic…it’s all the aspects of being a hero.

There are rewards for playing different aspects of the game already. A legendary should transcend those.

This is worded better than I could have done myself. I completely agree.

Seera.5916:

Olba.5376:

I wish they would make Legendaries untradeable again after a lengthy warning period so that people don’t get stuck with Legendaries they don’t want.

After that, they should change the current process so that it requires actual effort. Make the WvW gift requirement much, much more brutal. Bump up the required WvW level and tie it to the WvW seasons somehow. After that, add an element that requires lengthy amounts of time in sPvP.

Basically, make a Legendary what it should be: A sign of someone who has done all that the game has to offer.

It should only require participation in the modes you can the legendary to. You can’t with sPvP. So the requirements shouldn’t have it. PvP should get some really nice looking skins to work for as their legendary weapons.

You can use your legendary (skin) in PvP now. And you can also get dungeon tokens via the dungeon reward tracks as well. So some of the requirements can be obtained through sPVP. I don’t see why the few sPvP points of interest aren’t included in map completion. I personally don’t like sPvP but would be quite okay with some token of PvP being required for a legendary since you can use your legendary there now too.

I agree with others that have said that a legendary should be a prestige item showing that you have done something of every single part of the game. I also believe that the legendary should be account bound on acquire and not sellable on the trading post. I have no idea how they would be able to change that without a huge backlash from people who make them only to sell them.

There really is no reason in my mind that a player that focuses on a single game mode should be to get a legendary as it (in theory) proves you’ve at least some some of all of the game modes except sPvP.

I have more gifts of exploration than I know what to do with and I’m about to get 2 more to add to my pile.

There is nothing wrong with requiring people to explore WvW…you need to get to a certain rank to get your gift of battle (It really should have been lvl 30 imo). So get in there, take your time, get what you can and come back every day during the week til your color of the maps is complete. When your color changes, do it again.

Don’t expect to get an entire map in one go unless your server owns everything.
