The old achievements should just be moved over to the historical achievements like they did with the Hint achievement.

I thought they were moved over? I could have swore I saw my partially completed ones in the Historical… maybe just my imagination though…

As of the last time I checked (yesterday), they were side by side in the Community section.

That’s where mine are…in the Community section.

The old achievements should just be moved over to the historical achievements like they did with the Hint achievement.

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

I was going to save mine up for a special occasion (i.e. return of the living world content)… this is disappointing.

Same, but I’ll use it all the same. I have some geodes that need farming and fossils to find. It’ll be very helpful in Dry Top this weekend

(fixing forum bug)

But yes, please fix the camera. <3

Branden Gee.2150:

Huh, I can see how it would be frustrating for it to restart the spinning. Perhaps there is a happy middle ground where it starts out spinning then once you move the camera it stops.

Yes please. It can start, but once I move the camera myself please let it stay put.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Here is the patch note from March 26, 2013:

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

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-March-26-2013/first#post1856151

So, I’m confused about why there would be a middle ground. Just re-enable the previous feature that was ‘broken’ in the patch.

This…please put this camera back. I miss it so much.

" -Take away reviving from everyone but Guardian and Necro"

How about no. That is just a stupid idea.

Personally, all of my GW2 characters have their own personality and I feel connected to them. The story given to them by the game is not always their true story in my mind and I enjoy GW2 as is.

Are there issues? Sure….every game has issues. And really, I don’t want henchmen/heroes back, I like that weapon skills are static.

Death penalty sort of exists in that if you die too many times you don’t get a downed state and you’re just dead, but this could be changed up so that each death gives you less starting health. That could be interesting.

Necros actually creating minions from dead enemies would be good but would have issues with multiple necros in an area in the open world. With GW1 it was instanced world zones so it could be done that way without one necro griefing another by exploiting the corpses first.

Cantha- meh. Elona- I want my dervish.

Curtis Johnson.8456:

We have identified a bug with the free banker and are working on a fix.

Woo! Thank you! I really appreciate the occasional freebie from the gem store <3

It’s really hard to design outfits when you can’t see or dye the boots in the hero panel. >.<

Lodius.5392:

How about… collect 250 of each type of tiered bone crafting material… From Bone Fragment to Ancient Bone.

Have it be called “Bone Collector”

And you get a free mini bone dog or something.

I would love this.

Other ideas:

• Use all tonic transforms from the dungeons.
• Weapon Collections for: Destroyer, Tribal, Pirate, Orrian, Each of the T3 Racial, Guild Weapons, Dredge, Mystic, Modnir, etc.
• Armor collections for having All of the Order Armors
• Festive Eater: Eat one of all of the different holiday consumables (Dragon Bash, Halloween, Wintersday foods)

Also: Why aren’t mini achievements under collections?

HardRider.2980:

Erm … Hold down Right click.. drag mouse to see around… but first n foremost … WP WHEN DEAD! -.-

1. Holding down right click doesn’t keep the camera steady. It breaks free and floats around.
2. when you’re in a dungeon you can’t waypoint until the fight is over and everyone is out of combat.

This camera stupidness needs to stop now.

I received my commendations after doing guild missions and the guild’s home server was different from mine. It works like it should and I appreciate not having to guest!

Moira Shalaar.5620:

I can confirm that guesting is now no longer necessary to get guild commendations while doing guild missions representing a guild whose home is on another server.

I can also confirm that you do not have to guest anymore. It’s awesome.

I’m more than a little annoyed at the camera. If I go down during a dungeon I want to be able to watch the fight. I reposition the camera then 2 seconds later….OH look camera is floating away again. UGH. NO camera stay put. I put you where I wanted you. It really makes me feel sick when the camera won’t stay in one place. I tried holding it in one place but even then it still breaks free from my grasp and floats off. Okay…float off once when I die, but if I move it back for goodness sake PLEASE let me reposition it and let it stay put.

My only concern with this is that if it works like the mordrem bags and we get all the loot at the end inside of a container then the magic find we all have is for naught. Since containers aren’t affected by Magic find we’ll all be getting junk loot rather than higher tier loot that we might have otherwise gotten.

The Collection is not unlocking at all.

Right clicking the Monk’s Beer Stein causes the game to crash.

Stein of Golden Ale is missing from Brother Vince
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stein_of_Golden_Ale

Bartender in Fields of Ruin does not have the merchant icon over his head anymore or merchant tag…but you can talk to him. (Has he always been like that?)

I already have ambrosia unlocked and still the collection hasn’t appeared.

You have the potential to get the low level bags when killing champs of that level. I typically get the white bags at the Caledon Jungle wurm and lower level bags elsewhere too. Making a new character would make it easier to get the other bags but you don’t have to.

I got a Frog in a Jar……Wonder if there’ll be a collection for that. At least there are air holes poked in the top so the frog can breathe >.>

While I was waiting for a match to queue we were doing some costume brawl in the PvP Lobby. All of the toys work there and people were able to costume brawl using the skills and the crown appeared over the winners’ heads. However, as I have been working towards completing that achievement I noticed that progress towards the “King of the Costume Brawl” did not move while in the PvP lobby.

To see if this issue was with the achievement itself or somehow related to being in the PvP lobby I moved to Lion’s arch and put out toys for people to play with. And once out of the PvP lobby the achievement did indeed progress as it should. So the 10 or so wins I got while in the PvP Lobby did not count towards the achievement.

Either the costume brawl skills and toys should not function in the PvP lobby or something needs to be fixed so that costume brawl wins in the PvP Lobby count towards the achievement. It is nice to be able to put out a box of fun and do costume brawl while waiting for solo and team queue matches, so I would hate to see the toys disabled there, but wins there should count towards the achievement.

None of the in-game bug report options fit this issue so I submitted a ticket and they said post here…so here is the post.

Valandil Dragonhart.2371:

I have a bit of a burning question about trading minis. Say I’ve bought a few minis which a year later I’ve sold to make some funds towards other stuff in game… the minis aren’t in my collection anymore. Is this new functionality retroactive to minis that I’ve had in the collection, ie. does the system pick up that I’ve had these minis in my collection and unlock them, or do I have to actually have these minis in my collection at the time?

You have to physically have each mini in order to unlock it. From what they’ve said so far it looks like you’ll have to right click it and add it to the wardrobe collection. If you don’t currently have the mini you can’t put it in the wardrobe.

The system will still let people use the minis as we currently do (double click to put the mini out or put it away) but you cannot use the mini equipment slot unless that mini is unlocked into your wardrobe which requires permanently account binding/destroying the mini.

My only sad with the whole minis in the wardrobe is I’ve been letting my husband use my mini reef drake because he loves her so much but I also want it for my wardrobe. He gave me my reef drake back, but I will probably wind up giving it to him to unlock because I love my husband more than keeping the reef drake for myself. I’ll just have to farm up the gold to buy another and hope the price doesn’t keep creeping up out of my reach. I put up a bid for it earlier this week and just kept getting out-bid. I hate trading post wars.

Thank you Curtis for the answer. While it makes me sad I won’t get to keep my current minis and also get Carlotta, I understand the reason behind this decision.

On Tuesday I know we’ll know for sure how they’ve set this up, but I was hoping to get an answer before then if possible so I can make mini-plans for myself and my husband.

Certain minis require you to throw 3-4 other minis into the forge to create them.

Example: Festivoo the Merry
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Foostivoo_the_Merry

The three RNG based minis had to be thrown in the forge with some stuffing to make Festivoo. If someone was unable to get two sets of the minis, but did make Festivoo, will they now get access to the three minis they destroyed in order to create Festivoo?

I could only afford one set of the Adventure Box super minis and have not yet made the Super Assassin.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Super_Assassin

On Tuesday, can I toss my super minis into the forge and make the super assassin in turn unlocking all four of those minis?

The same goes for Mini Armored Scarlet Briar, Mini Ghost Carlotta, the Holographic Colossus, Princess Mia, Risen Abomination, and Chainsaw the Skeleton

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Armored_Scarlet_Briar
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Ghost_Carlotta
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Holographic_Colossus
wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Princess_Miya
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Risen_Abomination
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chainsaw_the_Skeleton

Weapon & Armor skins that acted as a precursor or were consumed in the making of another skin were retroactively unlocked when the wardrobe first hit.

Now when we forge a weapon or armor we do not have unlocked that skin does unlock for us.

Will minis work the same way? I’d hate for people to unlock minis without understanding that they can use the forge recipes in order to unlock the originals and get the new one if this is indeed how this will work. There are a bunch of minis that I’ve wanted to make but hated losing my original minis.

Thank you if someone can officially answer this before patch day. <3

IndigoSundown.5419:

Daily and monthly achievements were not made to be massively time-consuming. Altering the monthly requirements to please the sensibilities of those who play a lot is not, imo, a good idea.

Even though I’m one of the people who had monthlies done on the second day, I completely agree with this. There are a whole lot of people (I dare say the majority of people in-game) that don’t have the time I do to play the game. And as much as I would enjoy more of a challenge for Monthlies, it would not at all be fair to those that only play a few hours a day or week.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/I-think-it-is-time-to-finally-fix-the-TP

Thank you for listening and getting this fixed!

I do hope the back items are filterable and we can search for foods by stat too. Love this update so much.

Lishtenbird.2814:

Improving the visibility of the fees incurred while using the Trading Post was also important. Previously, we’d show you the listing fee and projected profit when selling, but this left out the successful exchange fee that comes out of the seller’s profit on every transaction. Feeding all those birds that shuttle your wares to the Trading Post isn’t cheap, or so Evon claims. It was better than nothing, but we got a lot of feedback that the projected profit was confusing because we weren’t calling out all the fees. The new selling UI in the Trading Post explicitly calls out both the listing fee and the exchange fee, so there shouldn’t be any surprises when selling.

What I find disturbing is that “projected profit” got removed and replaced by two fees. I am afraid that this was done on purpose, to make people do all the math themselves. The main complaint about “projected profit” (as stated in the post) was not that we wanted to see the fees… the complaint was that it didn’t calculate all the fees.

This… I don’t want to math. Just tell me how much I’ll get for selling x item.

BUT. Overall, LOVE this change. So glad the trading post is finally getting fixed. <3

fixing the forum bug. >.<

Also, still want to know if throwing minis in the forge will unlock them.

I usually do dungeons with my guild, we occasionally have a pug when we can’t get a full group.

But when my husband/guild group don’t want to dungeon, I solo pug. I did a full clear of HoTW last night and overall it went well. I see all these complaints about pugs here in the forums, and haven’t ever really seen it myself (and hope I never do).

Still need to get over my fear of Arah Pugs and give it a go. I haven’t managed to get back to complete Arah since I did the tour with Ivan. (I did take my warrior in to play and got the first boss to half health before I gave up and went to do other things)

Pandaman.4758:

khani.4786:

CoE will be easy because I"m not afraid to pug there when guildmates don’t want to do it…but Arah, ugh. I love Arah but I still don’t know it well enough to be confident enough to pug it.

I’ve completed the light and heavy Arah armor sets and I’ve only done each path once for the dungeon master title, all I had to do was grit my teeth and dive into PvP reward tracks. Two and a half more trips through that reward track and I’ll have enough to start and finish the medium set, and more than enough weapon chests to unlock all the weapons as well.

Don’t have to play too religiously either, I just do my three matches for dailies.

I may have to do some of that. I finally got the balthazar backpiece unlocked so I’ll probably work on the dungeon tracks now. I PvP so rarely though because everything else seems more fun to me. But the three daily matches though that might make it a bit easier.

Paradox.1380:

khani.4786:

Well since I"ve already been working to unlock every single dungeon armor and weapon skin……this is right up my alley.

Oh man I thought I was the only crazy person to do this. I am about half way there.

Since they have put out the wardrobe I have become a collecting Junkie… this update has me sooo hyped.

Also, I am loving the Spoon Collecting. It reminds me of my late Grandma (RIP mama), because she had a decorative spoon from every state from what I can recall. I am personally gonna be going out to hunt them in particular. What a great little kitchy thing.

I have every armor & weapon from AC and CoF, need about 10.5 more paths of CM and TA, probably around 12 more paths of SE, 18 more for HoTW……but then I need 110 or more paths of both CoE and Arah. o.o

CoE will be easy because I"m not afraid to pug there when guildmates don’t want to do it…but Arah, ugh. I love Arah but I still don’t know it well enough to be confident enough to pug it.

Forgara.9172:

I enjoy collecting things, to an extent.

It’d be very nice if we could get some visual representation of our own collections. If you could have you partial or full spoon collection on display in your home instance (or preferably in some player housing some day). Or perhaps you box of spoons can be taken out to show people, and you put it down and friends can interact with it to look at the whole spoon collection and mouse over or click on them to see information about that spoon.

I’d love a little spoon collection plaque/box in my home instance

Well since I"ve already been working to unlock every single dungeon armor and weapon skin……this is right up my alley.

I want to know if I throw four minis into the forge, will those four minis unlock for me just like the way the armor/weapon wardrobe works now.

I haven’t seen anything that says one way or the other on how this will work.

Huh? I don’t Mystic Forge much. You are saying that if you throw unlocked armor and weapons they unlock into your wardrobe?

Makes sense, I suppose. It counts as destroying them, same as salvaging. Would be my best guess.

Yes, if you throw locked armor & weapons skins into the mystic forge, they unlock into your wardrobe. You effectively remove those four items you tossed in from the game/market and it unlocks just as if you salvaged or bound it to a character.

I’m hoping minis work the same way and I might get a few new minis unlocking them that way.

The Mini Karka, Karka Hatchlings and Reef Drake need to be rare drops from the karka Queen.

Pretty please.

Agreed! Would love to see this included.

No please not. It will destroy their exclusivity completly. Just like Mini Tequatl and Mini wurm head are almost worthless nowadays (to me items below 100g are worthless).
And Karka event is the easiest of the bunch.

I would prefer some minis stay prestige objects just like some minis in GW1

While I got my Karka hatchlings during the original event. I don’t care about exclusivity. I just want to be able to get the mini Karka without spending as much as a precursor on it (which I don’t have). I’d be all for buffing the Karka queen a bit and adding the minis. More minis should drop from mobs to get them some other way than the gem store/trading post.

The Mini Karka, Karka Hatchlings and Reef Drake need to be rare drops from the karka Queen.

Now I’ll never get that mini Karka. cry

At least I have my hatchlings.

Asura: New body patterns, New Ear styles

Sylvari, New body patterns, new skin types, new ear types

Charr: New Horn designs (with ability to color them)

Norn: New tattoo designs

Human: Don’t care. They’re not special. :p

All: New undergarment types and ability to dye them.

Thank you for looking into this Matthew. It doesn’t always happen to me, but it has happened more than once so it’ll be nice to get this fixed at some point (hopefully soon).

Vayne.8563:

And some people play FOR achievements and that’s what they farm, and that farm is interfering with how they enjoy the game. Why can’t you let THEM have fun? That’s the real question.

If the zergs complete the event when people say hey I need this for the achievement what’s the issue?

But the people who need the achievement need to communicate (nicely) to make sure that the group of people there know that someone needs the achievement.

and the zerg of people there also need to play nice and complete the event when it is needed.

If this was happening all of the time then no one would have complained and Anet wouldn’t have needed to intervene.

Iconik.8712:

People will be toxic during any event anywhere in GW2. Are we supposed to “fix” every event in the game because someone somewhere is being a meanie face? There are people doing this right. I helped run an all day farming event in FGS yesterday. No one complained. If you questioned why we were actually completing the event, we explained. If you still didn’t like it, we asked you to find another map because we weren’t interested in toxicity.

So let’s ruin another event due to toxic players? They aren’t fixing the event because of toxicity. They’re fixing the event because it’s fun and lucrative. They don’t want lucrative. They want you to struggle for it so you eventually break down and buy gems.

I completely agree with you. I’d rather they stop trying to put a band-aid on things when a few people are being jerks.

But since this particular event chain is needed for the living story steps I guess I can see why this one is getting the attention it is.

I like farming myself even if I don’t do it often. I just wish they’d put in event chains that are just as (or more) lucrative to farm and complete.

We were playing around in a dungeon with the cake gun. I put down a light field and the cake removed some conditions. Put down a fire field, it caused burning. And I think the cake gun owner said it did something like 95 damage. XD

Nothing big, but still fun!

Iconik.8712:

Chris Cleary.8017:

We are already working on a fix for this event chain. In the mean time, please report players that are being overly toxic (chat) during these events for “Verbal Abuse” as this is a violation of the User Agreement and Rules of Conduct.

You guys refuse to let us have fun don’t you? Even when we’re farming legitimately you have to swoop in like some anti-fun despot and ruin everything. Because we all know you don’t want us getting loot/gold/mats on our own at a quick clip. You want us to struggle for it so we cave in and buy gems, turn gems into gold and buy the stuff we want. This is a huge conflict of interest.

I ran this event with Zoso all day yesterday. No one complained. We were all having a good time. No one complained. Every one was positive and no one was toxic. It was a fun social event. I had more fun yesterday doing this event (and trio, quaggan, champtrain when coil wasn’t up) than I’ve had in a long time. Apparently that’s not the endgame here though is it?

You people are effing incredible, man. I just don’t get it.

It is not the farming that is the issue. It is the people being toxic when people need to complete the event.

I used to be one of those people that would come in and complete the event just to spite the farmers, but since it was clearly stated that “Both sides have the right to complete the task that they set out to do (completing or not completing).” I’ve since stopped doing that.

People have the right to farm and fail events if they want.
BUT
People also have the right to complete events if they want.

It is when one or both sides become rude, abusive and/or toxic that a problem develops. While your particular group wasn’t being toxic, there are other versions of the map out there and likely people getting frustrated with one group trolling another and lashing out.

Until people quit being jerks to the other group trying to do what they want, we’re going to get band-aids like this. It sucks that a few toxic folks ruin the fun of lots of people. It’s hard to find that balance to keep everyone happy.

I want the bunny ears!!

I LOVE My copper salvage o matic. The cost per use is roughly the same as a basic kit and very worth it for all the whites, blues & greens I get. Even if I was completely out of Mystic Forge Stones, the silver version still would not be worth it to me. I don’t get anywhere near enough rares that I burn through my mystic kits very often. I still have three more mystic kits in my bank and those will probably last me a few months or more.

If the cost per use was 50c each time, it would be worth it….1 silver per use? Nope.

Stormdancer.4972:

One additional feature I’d like to see – set the opacity of objects between the camera and my character’s head to something other than 100%. There’s nothing quite like walking through a jungle, and being unable to even glimpse what my character should be able to see, because the plant life completely obscures everything. And if I step further forward so I can see, and then fall off a cliff? Yeah, that’s annoying.

More on this…Another example.

Honor of the Waves Path 1 end boss.
I like having the camera zoomed out a bit so I can see what’s going on around me but the tapestries hanging down and the pillars and the walls all make visibility in that room a right pain in the patootie. I actively try to avoid the back of the room because I can’t see jack when I walk in front of that tapestry in the back of the room. Even the ones that hang down in the middle of the room block my view of everything. They’re nice to have there for ambiance, but terrible for my field of view while in the middle of that long fight with that huge bag of health. But if I try to stay on the other side of the room, my camera gets mushed up close to my character because of the walls and it is hard for me to see what’s going on because I"m right in on my character. I have no idea how you’d fix this without just removing everything in the room (which is also not the best way to handle it).

But that’s the biggest in-combat camera issue I’ve encountered.

Out of combat, a first person view for screenshots would be amazing. And/or a way to have the camera face my character and stay there so I can emote/attack/pose for the screenshot I’m trying to get without the camera snapping back to the rear view.

I know this all might not be possible, but it’s great to have someone looking into what might be able to be done. <3
