Guild Wars 2

Mitch.4781:

Just curious as to how long this game is expected to last. I got a meaningful 6 years out of GW1, and I know it still runs today, but with no content for years, it’s obviously just running on fumes.

Have Anet given a predicted timeline to the lifespan of GW2? Cos unless some revolutionary MMO comes out in the enxt 5 years, I am done with MMO’s once GW2 turns off its servers.

if you listen to some people, the game’s been dead since it started. Anet haven’t said anything about a lifespan expectancy though.

me, I’d guess it would at least be after all the dragons are gone, and then they’d probably still keep the servers going like with GW1.

yes, you lose the 3 others. you have to buy the pack twice to get them all.

what happened in your pic happened to me once. I just melted the ice with the torch and didn’t have any problem pushing it again. maybe I was just lucky

I do agree though that getting stuck under or in things is infuriating. I was playing tribulation in w2z2 and right at the last gong a break away cloud pushed me into part of the scenery as it reformed (I was waiting to jump on it because I was with someone else). had no other choice than to restart. I will never trust that break away cloud again.

personally, if it was just the male norn looks that bothered me about the character, I’d buy another make over kit (cos what’s one more after all that) or identity repair and change him to a female norn.

saying that, I have deleted characters that I just couldn’t like which were level 80 and fully geared.

you have to open the cache for it to count

you should contact support, they’ll be able to help you

yes, go to the guy you were trying to buy the book from with your Artificer (just to be sure). the recipe is listed under another tab and you can buy and learn it.

Edit: the tab is called First Collection Chests. Bifrost’s recipes are in the Chest of Mysticism

in future keep this in mind: recipes are account bound only when in consumable form, but are learned by the one who double clicks it only.

it is not a bug

you have to go to a crafting station to craft anything, it can’t be done through the hero panel.

this list might help you find the stations:

hope that helps

You do get an extra character slot when upgrading a paid version, at least I did, but maybe that was part of a pre-order deal.

that was pre-order only. now you get that only with deluxe and ultimate versions

if I do zone 2 in Infantile mode ( because im struggling in normal) do I not get access to zone 3 the next time I play because that is whats just happened – do I not progress zones unless its in normal mode?

there is no world 3. there is only world 1 and 2 at the moment.

Also is that bauble bridge jump in zone 1 almost impossible? I tried a few times before I got it, in the vids everyone just seems to sail across.

you have to literally get the jump right on the edge of the platform, which isn’t easy the first times you try it. so, not impossible, but needs a bit of practice.

world 2 zone 1 #8 is slightly on the hill just past the save point (I hope you know what I mean by that). I had problems with it, so I ran around the area some and managed to find it.

because he is a scrapper and the function gyro finished you?

you can rebuy it from Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs for 10003 karma

#2. Streamlined Starter Zones Removing Zone Events: A few of the good zones i really enjoyed had alot of their unique events removed, like the fire shaman in lake ferritas outside the black citadel.

while I agree that some things in the streamlined starter zones took away a lot of the flavour of those zones (the golem games in Metrica for example), saying that events were removed is not true. there has only been one event that I can honestly say has been removed, and that was the bunny one in Queensdale (I think that was because it used bundles, which were all removed from starter zones). I have seen the fire shaman event in Plains of Ashford a few times recently, so I know for a fact it is still in game.

you need 5 Deldrimor Steel dagger blades, not ingots. the wording is a bit weird, but that’s what she wants

if you still have the in-game mail with the free continue coins, you can click the Show Me button. it will show you exactly where it is.

if not. go to Rata Sum, Magustan Court wp (the one closest to the LA portal), and look for the big blue box thing.

what else is there aside from the clouds?

theres a list on the wiki

CrashTestAuto.9108:

Just want to say thank you to whoever designed and implemented these! They’re really versatile, really big, and really good value for ingredients. Brilliant addition!

do you have any screenies? I’d really like to see what they look like

yes, to all your questions

mostly this:

(clicking the links in the post also directs you to other info about upcoming changes in April)

Electro.4173:

The concept is pretty neat. I just can’t stand how oversized it is. If it were half the size I’d probably consider buying it, but its just silly how huge it is. IMO of course.

^so much this

maybe try repairing the client?
https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28148006-Repairing-the-Game-Client

I haven’t seen this problem and I have mostly asura characters, so just throwing it out there in hopes that it helps.

that’s really odd. maybe you should try making a support ticket, see if they can figure out what’s going on.

are any of the bags invisible bags/safe boxes/pact equipment box? items in those kinds of bags can’t be sold to vendors or on the TP

current or old bugs?

current: immobilise bug

past bug: death from stairs

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

Be sure to (also) use the in-game /bug reporting tool about this.

thanks for the reminder. did this just now

can’t find them in the mini panel either (I have all of them) not even the mini Moto one of my characters has equipped

Gaile Gray.6029:

Read today’s update notes.

~hoppy dancing~
~’Ears to you, Dev Team!~
~Somebunny loves us!~

YES!!! thank you! woo for bunny ears!

the unknown status of anyone makes no difference. you can’t kick/demote the leader, unfortunately.

as others have said, make a new guild

try following a few of the guides on this site (I always use it when levelling a craft) http://gw2crafts.net/

if it’s the first vid that comes up in search results, then the explosions are caused by the sigil of fire. the person is also level 80, which means they have access to more traits that can help the fight go quicker. they also probably have a full set of level 80 gear with runes and such. because of all these things there will be some differences in the fight you see and what you experience.

try using the number 2 skill instead of just hitting the undead, it helps a lot, especially the second part of the skill (if you press it twice), which has an evade.

yes, they are single use items

nice try OP, I almost read your post. fortunately I read Zohane’s post first

I’m not seeing this issue. tested on low, medium and high settings and it still does the animation correctly for me.

not sure what to suggest OP

f2p accounts are very restricted, so, yes, GW2 owners do get quite a few benefits over them.
take a look at what each account type has:
http://help.guildwars2.com/entries/95982157-Account-types-Free-Core-HoT

it looks like you need to find the dimensional anchor, which is on the top floor of the building

if you were the only person in it, unfortunately no.

in the chat tab next to the word Guild (the one you ticked) is an arrow. click that and make sure the boxes there are ticked. you should be able to see guild chat then

Nekres.1038:

I restarted my computer and installed the nvidia update (which are jst settings for The Dvision and rise of the tomb raider) and everything is back to normal again o_O so weird.

that is so seriously weird, but glad it’s all fixed for you

I’m not sure why you have a problem with them releasing raid content. personally I don’t play the content, but I know some do, and so I fully support them releasing that for the people that enjoy it.

stop only thinking about yourself OP, other people play this game.

still works for me, so maybe check your shortcut?

noticed this too

with the character(s) that last had the outfit, find the Black Lion Trader (Armorsmith) – they’re usually near the Black Lion NPCs. when you talk to them go through the town clothing option (What are town clothes? >> So what do you do with town clothes? >> I’d like to exchange my old town clothes. >> I’m ready. Upgrade all my town clothes.). this will give you an item in your bag that you can click to add to the wardrobe, or a tonic, depending on the outfit.

hope that helps

try a different path, it is a bug where the completed tick is against the wrong path, you just have to find the path it should be. or just wait until there is a fix for it.

in game, click the little gear on the left side of the chat panel and untick ‘show in-world bubbles’ it disables all bubbles

the search on here is broken. has been for forever. use google instead. if you need help, check out this post, it tells you how

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Searching-the-Forums/

your selling question: this was fixed. now it sells to the lowest buy order and I’m fairly sure you still pay the listing fee.

your buying question: no fees when buying for either option

looks like it’s gone

Every account has the exact same chance on RNG.

Granted and accepted. But this doesn’t explain why you guys still stick to this kitten concept. I remember this very thread where we were called to discuss about rng as a concept, still everything is tied to RNG. Even more so when it’s possible to get some of the most valuable items (precursors) for the least challenging content (killing trash mobs in open world).
An no, I do not consider precursor crafting as a relief here. A mindless grindfest that simply doubles the cost for a legendary is no compensation for those cursed by rngsus.

Dude, rng is everywhere in all MMOs. In fact, grind and MMOs almost always go together hand in hand. Why don’t you propose an alternative system of reward. How about all character have a job in game so we can accumulate credit to pay for our items. Meanwhile, why don’t you also propose an alternative system for the economy so I don’t have to be stuck in a job

Did I just hit a nerve or something?
There have been dozens or hundreds suggestions in the thread I mentioned, no need to repeat them over and over again. I would link it to you if the search engine of this forum would work properly.
RNG to a certain extend is fine and spices things up, but the way it’s implented in GW2 is just poor and lazy design. Same goes for grind, it’s ok and almost neccesary to a certain extend to keep people on board and playing, as long as it’s wrapped in interessting and somewhat challenging content.

this thread?
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/RNG-as-a-concept-Discuss/

the tooltip is wrong it seems. the skill gives a 10s swiftness buff ordinarily, with +20% that is 12s as you’ve stated.
