Guild Wars 2

I like the Dreamer’s sound and it’s on my list of “someday I’ll make that”

i think this is my time…

You win.

pretend the band goes behind your head and under your hair

The problem would be that it would either float above some hairstyles or be imbedded in (and therefore not visible) on others. so to avoid that there’s no over the top of the head headband.

I personally like them as they are. (as I like any helm skin that doesn’t make my hair dissapear).

Okay, so I just got finished watching the stream recording.

WvW missions: most of my guild is on another server (that’s full so I couldn’t transfer even if I wanted to). Do the WvW missions give commendations? Should I be bothered that I won’t be able to do those with my guild?

PvP Missions: Do these give members commendations? If so, how does everyone that wants to participate get their commendations?

Do the regular missions still give commendations?
If so, is the weekly cap of commendations still 6 per person?

The favor for the guild is great and all, but there’s still the personal guild member rewards that weren’t talked about.

Most of the guilds I’ve been in don’t do the guild trek anymore because they don’t give commendations for the guild members so this is something that needs to be touched on at some point.

Guess we’ll never see wide rim glasses, aviator sunglasses or bunny ears ever again.

I think we’re missing the Taunt change in here. Didn’t they say it is now undodgeable and unblockable?

i don’t think he said that correctly. I understood that it was bugged, and therefore went through dodges and blocks. this is now getting fixed, so it’s going to be a huge nerf. not because of the dodge part, but because a couple of professions can actually spam blocks. taunt wont be hitting much once the change goes live.

https://youtu.be/zOGi6lMaxZY?t=18m57s

“Beastly Warden the taunt from it was blockable and dodgeable. This was not intended behaviour. It’s getting fixed. Gotta Happen.”

Sounds to me like it being blockable and dodgeable was a bug and will become unblockable & undodgeable. Unless it was clarified somewhere else. If so, where/when…link?

Rytlock is so fluffy!!

If anyone feels like sending me silver doubloons that would be spectacular.

I’m up to 250 of the 250 I need and I’ve been forging all the nuggets I get from harvesting and have several alts parked at jumping puzzles but it’s a slow process.

I’m still a very very long way from making Juggernaut but I figured I needed to start somewhere and this seems like the biggest hurdle.

^_^
Thanks to the people who have sent me a few now (and my husband who keeps sending them to me). Slowly getting there! Hopefully I can help others as they have been helping me.

OH YEAH DONE! Thank you so much to everyone that helped me out. Now to farm everything else. Once I have it all completed I’ll update with a picture <3 Everyone is amazing.

TC folks (and everyone else that’s helped so far) are the best

Grats! I got Venom & Chaos Gun out of those bags.

magisterLudi.3165:

Trying to make a legendary. However I need a lot of ectos. So if anyone has any spare ectos that would be nice.

I’ll send you some. Good luck with your legendary!

Profession is only available on the Beta weekends and after HoT releases. You cannot make one ahead of time.

I love my Sylvari seed turrets. but like others have said racial skills are just weaker versions of other skills and shouldn’t influence which race you pick. Pick the race you like the best.

Just like Tornado has a chance to throw a cow…the dust-nado should have a chance to have chickens.

It does sound better. A bit tinny & whispy but not bad. I would have preferred something that sounded more along the lines of a French Horn or a well played Tenor Sackbut sound. I didn’t mind the “fart horn” as much but it was the weird low warbly sound that gave it that flatulant timbre.

Howler still needs the sounds fixed. It shouldn’t have the default sound at all and needs it’s own unique sound either amplified or fixed to be legendary as it should be.

Can you see your own gold star now too?

No

Lame. If I’m going to see my own name I want to see my star too.

Can you see your own gold star now too?

I wonder if one of the reasons for doing this is to help the servers. I can’t imagine that having a large number of characters created & deleted over and over is good for long term server health.

I liked key farming here and there as a way to use up tomes, but it got boring for me real fast. Oh well. An end of an era.

I think it was fine. They added in the Beta Achievements to give us Mastery points in order to help us train stuff up. Some of the Mastery points were harder to get to than others. Some in the first beta took some work figuring out how to get there as did some in the second Beta. It’s not like we get them for everything. And besides there will be additional masteries added later that you’ll need the points for. I think it worked fine.

serenity.4712:

Great fixes, although I think you missed a big one that everyone was complaining about. It’s the berserker icon being behind the F1 skill, it’s hard to see the cooldown of the skill and people offten, while they have full adrenaline, press the F1 ability instead of the berserker mode because it’s on top of it. Hopefully we’ll be able to get something like thief has, would be much easier!

Yeah that was the one big thing I was wondering too.

packwolf.2196:

Glad that they gave people the blooms that they missed, would have been nice if you got the daily boxes too though

This. I was hoping to get the 4 missing daily vine covered caches as well.

Drow.2081:

All my characters are level 80.

You have to build the bank itself after getting Architecture leveled up. (it’s there under the options to build)

here’s another constructive idea for these types of invasion events.

IDEA

• Partition the map into 4-6 equal sections with large event chains that happen in each area.
• The map needs to have people in each section working on their event chain at the same time. (no need to waypoint hop). Each event in the chain rewards 1-5 blooms based on if you get bronze, silver or gold participation). PLUS you get karma/xp/coin. All non-champ mobs have normal loot table (no champ loot to discourage fail farming).
• Once all four event chains are complete (if done within the time frame) a boss appears in the center. A portal spawn at the final segment of each event chain to port everyone to the central boss. (ala transport to TT Wurm chest)
• The map has 2 minutes to take down the boss.
  If the map succeeds there is a substantial reward (i.e. 60 blooms & 5 vine covered chests). If they fail you still get a reward but it is much much less. Perhaps just 5 vine covered chests and no blooms.

MECHANICS

• The individual mechanics of the different vine spawners was good. I like that.
• There should have been progression from one event to the next rather than tag & run.
• Why was Brisban the only map to keep track of total events completed? That tells me this was an unfinished event as someone forgot to put the finishing touches on the other two maps…what else did they forget? (Oh yeah loot & rewards… whoops.)

REWARDS

• Most of the vendor rewards were good. But seriously what idiot would buy 50 luck? Especially how scarce the blooms were. And SILVER cost on top of blooms? For luck. And none of the mobs drop anything which negates the use of luck. Just pure idiocy.
• If you’re going to give us RNG boxes give us lots of the currency to gamble on them. The few I got where just boxes of disappointment. Seriously one of my “Memories of Scarlet” boxes had in total 12 bloodstone dust and 6 blade shards. That’s it. That’s pouring salt in the wound.

Wow awesome…When was this introduced????

Recently. With the LA rebuild. When the new LA was added a scavenger hunt was included which rewards Princess.

There’s a third item, called the Star of Gratitude, that consumes Empyreal Fragments, but it’s a Wintersday thing, iirc.

I think that is one of the things that annoys me about in game communication. I simply would not have known all of this until you guys told me. I would have loved the chance to get the star.

Communication goes both ways. If you dont read patch notes, you wont learn about new stuff being introduced unless someone else tells you.

Well….I know this might be a novel idea…but maybe they could actually communicate this IN the game? Without people trawling through patch notes?

Original thinking I know. Try it sometime….

Or you know, when we get a huge new patch look through your achievements and see what’s new? There are several new achievements that were added with the New Lion’s Arch.

You know, looking at what’s new in game. it’s a thing. try it sometime.

I haven’t seen if they are not. I hope so because I’ve dced as well before and experienced it myself.

If you do the same zone again in the same day the game seems to think you’ve never been there and you’ll get the daily reward still. BUT that’s not a solution because that’s another 30min you have to spend in one of those zones.

You disconnected. And they’ve acknowledged that if you DC then you won’t get rewards for that round even if you manage to do more events. It sucks and they can’t fix it for this event.

We are aware of an issue where if you disconnect during the event you will not be able to rejoin. If you experience this, you will be able to participate in the events that follow the one from which you disconnected. For instance, if you were disconnected during the Kessex Hills incursion, you’ll be able to get into the next stage when it takes place in Diessa Plateau.

30 minutes and you have to stay the whole time. That’s bad.

Memories of scarlet box from the daily…what do I get 12 bloodstone dust & 6 blade shards. That’s it. If that’s what in those boxes why should I want more? How does that help anyone? I get more blade shards from my home instance node. Seriously?

The entire event is laughable.

I find myself getting to 10 events because doing 10 more for a mere 5 blooms more is not at all worth it. Once I get to 10 events, I do REAL events that give me coin & karma for doing them. I harvest. Kill zone mobs that give me drops. Even the grey vendor trash is more valuable.

I don’t want this to continue more than the scheduled time because I can’t take this level of disappointment. It breaks my heart knowing what this could have been and instead I do 30 minutes of events and wind up with stuff I can’t even vendor for a few copper.

I know it’s “just a game” but without rewards even stellar mechanics doesn’t make this event fun.

I know it’s “just a game” but when I found out first hand that if you disconnect even at the start of a zone event and you get stacks back you still get nothing..yeah I cried. I worked so hard to build up my stacks after dcing. then nothing. That hurts. For you to say “just go to the next zone and do that one”. That doesn’t help. That is salt in the wound.

At this point I’m not even counting on getting the lost rewards. Knowing how great the past events were, and how rewarding they were. And we don’t get xp, karma or coin from the events? How did anyone ever think that was a good thing?

I just don’t get how this event made it out the door.

Will we get our rewards for if/when we disconnect too as well as the missing rewards from before when we didn’t get anything at all? If I disconnect…should I just say screw it and go do something else because why bother?

What if we only got part of the reward? (The map reward but not daily bonus?) Will that count as missing the rewards and will I get what I should have?

As far as feedback:

• Events don’t give karma/xp/coin for completing
• Mobs don’t count as kills so I can’t even boost stacking sigil
• End reward requires you to stay around for the entire time. Should give award for each event completed rather than a culmination of participation for the entire time. Some folks can’t be there for the entire 30 min.
• Give some incentive to stay at the event to finish it. Toxic events are good for that as they give you a harvestable node at the end.
• Give incentive for the map to do well rather than individuals tagging & running to get as many personal stacks as possible. A big end boss if you get to x number of events complete.

• For Dwayna’s sake price the rewards appropriately so that if you want to get more than one high end item it is possible in the limited amount of time that the event is out. We have to eat, sleep, work and do other things. The two tonics should be hard to get both, but not impossible as they are currently. I don’t know what you were thinking making these things that expensive in comparison to what we get. I could have easily gotten both during the scarlet invasions. It took time & knowing where the lost heirlooms were, but it was POSSIBLE.

• The events themselves have nice mechanics and I like them. BUT the big problem is reward. I really wanted to like this event. I wanted to be able to do the maps multiple times over the course of the weekend. But now…no. It is unrewarding. Good gameplay is not enough. It was half-thought out. You got the mechanics of the individual events right and forgot about how to make the zone invasions worth completing. Now all I will do is do 10 events then go harvest and do actual rewarding events in the zone until the timer runs out. No sense in stressing myself out over 5 extra blooms.

As it stands, I have no motivation or desire to go to the same zone more than once per day. Why should I spend 30 minutes of my time to get 10 blooms? I’m not even trying to get 20 events because the time and MONEY it takes waypointing all over the place to selfishly tag extra events just to get 10 more events for 5 more blooms? Just not worth it. Why bother?

I’ll play…

• Shark on a Stick – Kamohoali’i Kotaki
• I’m so Goth it Hurts – Twilight
• Electric BBQ – Zap
• Wind Breaker – Howler
• Rainbow Cricket Bat
• Pony Bow – Dreamer
• Fire Alarm Trigger – ?
• Denial – ?
• I Carry My Wealth on My Back -?
• Not a Torch – Incinerator
• Party Bend – Moot
• Yesterday’s News – Flameseeker Prophecies
• Fever – ?
• Chillax, Bro – Frostfang
• Invasive Species – Kudzu
• Rainbow Stick – Bifrost
• Burninator – Trogdor….Um got that backwards. Rodgort.
• Oversized Thermometer – Juggernaut
• Mesmer – ?
• Better Than Sundial – Eternity
• That Which No One Has Ever Seen -?

• Pinkie Pie’s Party Cannon – Quip
• More fish than a tuna can – Frenzy
• Aughra’s Orrery (on a stick) – Meteorlogicus
• Not a gemstore instrument – Minstrel
• I coulda been a sniper – Predator

At this point I’ll probably just afk after hitting 10 stacks because why bother? Why should I waypoint more to tag 10 more events for 5 blooms? That’s just more loss for me.

for 30 minutes, just the mordrem events and this is all you get? No karma, no xp, no coin. Nothing else.

Unless this gets fixed right….the Mordrem can have these zones. The events themselves are good but so far after doing 3 invasions before the “fix” and one after I still have nothing to show for it.

Digging up dirt in Minecraft is more rewarding.

Still Broken!…
Joined Event in Kessex Hills, half way through event.
- was rewarded with an appropriate number of blossoms.
Then Ported to Diessa Plateau
-Entire map Dissconected at about the 15minute mark . I had 12 stacks of the Buff. I then rejoined same IP immediately, All buff stacks Gone.
-Continued event from halfway point after re-joining gaining another 7 or 8 stacks
- event ends and NO REWARD GIVEN for Diessa Plateau. same with everyone that disconnected and re earned the buff.

This. I was on that map too. I had 15 stacks of the buff, disconnected. Joined back immediately. All stacks gone. sigh got back to 8 stacks before it ended and got nothing at all.

The Southsun event was better, despite the slideshow nature of it. At least that gave me loot, karma and other event rewards.

Got nothing at all in Diessa just now. Worked on events on one side of the map only to disconnect at about 15 min left, lost all of my stacks. Tried to build them up again. Got 8 stacks by the end of the timer and what do I have? Absolutely nothing except disappointment and a broken heart.

I really wanted to like these events. I have no motivation to stay at events as mobs don’t drop loot. I don’t want to waypoint because the events don’t even compensate for waypoint costs (no loot, no event rewards).

and because I DCed for a second I got no rewards at all. Absolutely nothing. Not even a “failed” medal. I’m out waypoint costs for the few times I did waypoint and wound up with nothing at all.

Why should I bother doing this? The events themselves have neat mechanics but I don’t care because I could literally be doing anything else in the game and be better rewarded. Killing a hermit crab gives better loot. I can’t even build up bloodlust stacks because the mobs don’t even count as kills!

I may just pretend like you didn’t even release this content because all it does it upset me that I work to try and get a reward and wind up with less than nothing.

No thank you.

Gaile Gray.6029:

• Those who earned rewards and did not receive them will be given their rewards. This could take several days, so please allow time this to happen.

Thanks for your patience as we work on the resolution of this issue.

Does this mean the vendors will stay around after the event is over in case it takes longer for us to get the rewards?

Being patient, just want to know what to expect. Thanks for the update.

You haven’t tried a free account. Free accounts can barely use the trading post. Most things you cant’ buy/sell. There’s no daily login rewards, can’t talk in map chat and lots of other restrictions. You have lots more perks than a Free account, plus you were here for lots of one time events and got to see the game grow. It is not disrespectful and they do care about their loyal customers. If you can’t see that then I’m sorry.

I looked through all of my wardrobe and the only two things locked that I knew I once had were the heavy deathly pauldrons & the blue SAB backpack….but those not being unlocked are probably my fault as I likely had reskinned those items sometime before we got the wardrobe.

Lean techniques gives you a speed boost, and it works really nice. It took me a bit to realize there was a difference at first as I instinctively hold down forward (my W key) when gliding even though you’ll move forward without pressing w. Lean Techniques gives you a move faster, brakes and you can lean left/right with your strafe keys. It gives you much more control and was really nice once I unlocked that.

How to fix: Remove the water – just make it into a hallway/tunnel rather than a river to swim through.

It is cheezy though. While I’d rather do things legit I just tend to follow the group if it isn’t my group.

Since the powders only work on the combat boosters we get from black lion chests and there’s a vendor to exchange them for the enchanted boosters….perhaps can we stop getting the powders in black lion chests?

I always wished that you could go into the mini dungeon and work on the heart there. Sadly the heart range does not extend into the mini-dungeon.

I absolutely loved that map. The only problem I see is that they’d have to do some redesigning on the pvp build interface as there is no room for aquatic weapons there.

The other thing that is on sale today is the living story season 2 complete pack. It is 20% off. Don’t know if that’s always there or not.

That’s what it’s normally is. A 20% discount over the individual cost. See the note on the wiki page.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_Season_2_Complete_Pack

Good to know. I have them all on my main account and only noticed that when looking on an alt account.

The other thing that is on sale today is the living story season 2 complete pack. It is 20% off. Don’t know if that’s always there or not.

That happens with any outfit or armor that has a large collar and you have the helm hidden. I don’t think it’s possible to fix that I’m afraid. :/

I would like this and I would like it to appear in the chat box. Not an additional pop up anywhere. It should appear in the chat box when you log in and/or start repping a guild.

Give us an option for “guild messages” in the chat panel so folks can toggle it on/off or make a new tab just for that.

I like it on my necro….the locusts appearing with that sound seem appropriate now. >.>

Seriously though, why does the super warhorn have a completely unique and instantly recognizable sound without the fart noise…but Howler doesn’t.

And I’d like those night time effects back too!

I only got precursor mastery up about 1/2 way. The only way to train that one was to do the initial instance in the silverwastes and I thought about trying to level that up but had other stuff to do this past weekend.

I don’t know about the build/setup of the character part but what I would like to see:

Have two rows of characters. (maybe move them to the left & have two columns)

Let me put them in the order I want rather than “last logged in” order.

Add to character info:
> crafting profession & level
> Story step they are currently on
> If they finished personal story, a unique icon similar to the map completion star

And a new backdrop would be lovely too!

I noticed that they changed it recently from spacebar to enter.

At least now when I’m trying to spam join an instance I don’t look like a jumping bean if I press it too many times.
