Guild Wars 2

if you’re going for a legendary, you must do some things you might not enjoy. for some, that is wvw, for others it is map completing zones, and for some it is achievements.

if Anet removed all the things that people may not like when it comes to making a legendary, there would be nothing to do and they’d just mail you one.

I did watch the video, I couldn’t see what you were seeing or whether the bug was on your character or your opponent, and your op wasn’t clear on what the bug actually was. all you said was that last stand negates cc (which it should), not that the trait was on cooldown when you used cc, or anything like that.

are you sure the other person wasn’t using any other traits or skills that negated cc? are you sure you weren’t experiencing any kind of lag at the time?

you are supposed to negate crowd control because the trait activates balanced stance, which gives stability at 3 second intervals for 8 seconds. the initial disabling effect is also negated when the trait is triggered.

because of those things, I’m not quite sure what your bug post is about

movement speed increases do not stack with each other, only the greatest value takes effect. this is true across the board, not just with elementalist skills/traits.

so, if you are using signet of air, and you give yourself speed. you will only get the speed buff (33%) and signet of air will be ignored for the duration of the buff. signet of air and zephyr’s speed both give 25%, so one will be ignored for the other, as only one can be applied.

this has always been the case.

signet of air’s passive, and zephyr’s speed don’t stack and never have. just like those things don’t stack with other speed buffs.

if you buy copy through the anet store, you’ll get a key through your email. you can give that to your friend. they can then use the key to upgrade their account or create a new account with it if they haven’t got one already.

the email you select when you buy from the store has no effect on where the key is used, it is only used to send you the key

Khisanth.2948:

Uh … what? A trait that reduces the recharge of staff skills is useless for healing?

I was thinking the same thing

> Banners randomly choose to spawn on cursor location, target location, or player location. I cannot find a setting where they spawn fixed, random is the best description I have for it. (especially critical during Vale Guardian, because I want the banner in the center of the field)

target location >> snap ground target to target on?
cursor location >> ground targeting instant on?
player location >> mouse over UI when banner pressed (happens even with snap option checked)?

have you accidentally equipped an outfit on them? it can happen sometimes when you unlock one.

check in the outfit tab in the hero panel, and untick the box on any outfit you might have there.

They should never bring back sneks because sneks are evil and do many bad things.

For example, a snek will grab its tail in its mouth and turn into a hoop and chase people down the road.

They also will snek up to cows and goats at night and drink milk from their udders (but apparently not sheep, horse, dogs, cats, or people for some reason).

There was an incident some years back where this snek hid in a tree and talked some woman in a garden into eating an apple. This was pretty bad because after that she put her clothes on and the whole thing upset everyone so much her and her husband were chased from the garden by people with flaming swords. And then her and her husband had sex, which caused more problems later.

I know all of this is true because I read it somewhere.

if +1s meant/did anything, I’d +1 this over and over again.

You need to be rank 500 to craft Pristine Mist Essence. The screenshot show that character as r403.

cube of stabilized dark energy also needs 500

I guess someone should tell all those WvW players who continued playing through the years, that they’re doing it wrong. they should have stopped playing because there was no reward.

maybe veterans aren’t in dungeons because they wanted something different to the 4+ year old content that they’d gotten bored of playing? maybe the gold reward was the only thing keeping them there in the first place, and now they’ve moved on to things that both interest them more and are more rewarding.

personally, I still play dungeons. I played them before gold was even a real thing as a reward for doing it, I played them through the pointless gold buff (which didn’t motivate anyone to take newer players along), I played through the nerf, and I’ll carry on doing it, because I enjoy them.

if you don’t, that’s up to you shrugs

did you craft the weapon (research)? you can’t buy the next book until you do that

dungeons don’t need their rewards increased.

before nerf dungeon liquid gold (all paths including story paths): ~43g
now dungeon liquid gold (all paths including story paths and the 8 path bonus gold): ~42g

we also get more tokens now. you used to get 60 per path, now it’s 100, plus 150 choosable tokens every 8 paths.

yep, I’ve had one from star of gratitude packages occasionally

it’s not a backpiece, it’s an effect on the armour skin.

I do agree that GW2 needs more festivals. A nice spread of festivals through the year would do a lot to keep people interested between content updates.

Yeah, I’ve never understood why we go from May to October without a festival (and that used to be February to October).

because the first annual Dragon Bash (June 2013), turned out to be the ONLY Dragon Bash ever. shame, but hey, at least the mini game was recycled into Lunar New Year.

some open world story triggers (especially the HoT ones) can only be triggered by one person at a time, and everyone else has to wait until they have stopped talking to do it themselves (no idea why, it just happens that way)

it’s annoying, but you should check, if you’re playing with others, that you are all on the same step when yours updates (I do this when I play with my gf). seriously saves you a LOT of wasted time in the long run.

wait 4 days like the notification tells you to.

“Newly unlocked accounts require validation. This feature will unlock in 4 days.”

also, you might want to make sure that you have activated 2-Step Verification on your account, as new accounts require that now. you can do that by going to https://account.arena.net/security/settings

left mouse button is for free camera, which just changes the point of view, but not the direction of the character. right mouse button moves the camera while changing the direction of the character.

it’s still there, but looks like it’s having an identity crisis. it’s now called ‘Open World Content’. the mouse over picture and description is still the same though.

yay mspaint fill white! just what I’d been waiting for! /s

nope, game is unstable atm. was happening in VB after patch, whole map got kicked at least twice before I just gave up and decided to go with my usual thing for patch day: don’t play on patch day.

have you tried right-clicking the bottle and clicking ‘add to collection’?

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Slay_the_Shatterer#Event_Schedule

According to the schedule, the Shatterer appears at 09:00, 12:00, and 15:00 UTC, which would be 11:00, 14:00, & 17:00 CEST.

the UTC times for Shatterer are 01:00, 07:00, 10:00, 13:00, 16:00, 19:00, 22:00 and repeat. which means holodoc is right in saying that CEST Shatterer would be at 09:00 etc.
the wiki always displays times according you your time, not UTC.

were the pre events done holodoc? did you report it in-game? in game reports give the devs more info about what’s happening at the time

your server has been linked with Dragonband for this matchup. Dragonband is the host server, so it will show you as being part of that.

it is the exit to Lake Doric which is part of the living story season 3. you can use it by getting to level 80 and playing the LS3 episode The Head of the Snake if you have it unlocked on your account.

you need 250 hero points to unlock herald fully. you need to unlock herald and put it in your build panel in the 3rd slot to use a shield (you can only use the shield as a herald).

to get those points you can go through normal maps and collect them from hero challenges, they are worth 1 each, or you can go into HoT zones (Verdant Brink, Tangled Depths, Auric Basin, Dragon’s Stand) and grab some there, they are worth 10 each in those zones.

daily achievement points have a 15000 limit (this includes dailies and the old monthlies). you might have hit that limit.

true, but really, unless it cost 30g to level the craft (which I doubt it would), it’s still better to put in a buy order for the pre

did you try putting the items in in a different order? the forge can be funny sometimes.

according to gw2efficiency to craft is ~530g(buy order for mats) or 577g(buying mats outright), but to buy it is ~564g(buy order) or ~640g.

crafting up weaponsmith to 500 costs ~140g.

so realistically, you’ll be better off putting a buy order in on the trading post

do you have action camera enabled?
the default keybind for toggling action camera doesn’t exist (which is why I asked), but is the only way to use a skill with LMB

Zyzz.5028:

how long does this take its been like 24 hours and i still cant play the game :C

it can take up to 72 hours for a response, sometimes longer depending on the workload of the support team.

SaltAndLight.4652:

So every damage message on screen is cumulative from when it first started channeling?

with GS auto, yes. until you use another attack, or move from the target for a moment.

channelled skills, like mesmer GS auto and engi flamethrower, show stacked damage (damage from when you start using the skill until you use another), not individual hits like the combat log.

necromancer minions have always shown their nameplates and have had guild tags too. I don’t remember a time when that wasn’t the case.

power of the mists (the bonus from WvW that gave you a chance of extra gathers) has been disabled.

gathering boosters give extra while gathering (so 2 flax seeds when you gather instead of 1, not extra hits on a node)

you know, you can follow the commander and the zerg without being in the squad, right?

You know that you get way less rewards and wxp when following a commander while not being in squad, right?

no, you don’t, but you keep believing that

Gw2 wiki is written and edited by players, not Anet and you are free to edit it to make it clearer.

“full” means that there are a certain number of people playing WvW. “full” also means that no one else can join it, even if they don’t want to play WvW.

your friend can still join another EU server and still be able to play with you in any of the PVE maps and instances, just not WvW. PVE maps work on the megaserver system, which means as long as you are on a server in the same region, you can be loaded into the same map, and can join friends in the map.

Sorca.6839:

I actually googled this topic to find the thread.

The server looks full but no one talks. I’m new so I know I must look for a guild to actually feel part of something but looking for a guild is extremely hard if no one ever replies. I talked on the map and after 30 min not a single person replied or even said anything. Maybe Lionsgate is a dead map? but I saw more people there than on the starting map. ( I actually thought there might be something wrong with my chat)

The forums I looked at every topic where someone said LF guild and seems barely anyone that started such a thread received no replies.

I ask in unranked pvp to tell me what I’m doing wrong or I say "Hi"to the team. No one replies. Everyone just scrams of to a spot to die in pvp. I actually assumed I must capture points rather than dieing. (I guess I’m not the only noob in pvp there?)

This might be perhaps of the different channels/ servers? I know BnS had that issue but then again BnS have a system where when you ask anything you get a reply with “What is you AR” and if its not 700 or something p2wísh you get ignored.

Other games with a population of 100 players people actually reply. Maybe it’s cause there are so many players everyone just assume someone else will help him? Small games must obviously do everything they can to keep new players.

Luckily I’m new so the story and 100% map completion urge I have keeps it fun when I solo.

are you speaking in map chat or say chat?
map chat is appears in red and the entire map can see what you’re saying.
say chat is green and only people in your immediate area can see it.

also, if you were talking in map chat, you might want to check your chat settings, especially if no one is replying in Lion’s Arch. it’s always pretty populated and there’s usually random conversations going on there.
to make sure all chat channels are showing click the little down arrow on the chat tab and make sure /map, /say, /whisper etc are all ticked.

Farming Flats.5370:

The other option if you really need auto targeting is to set a hot key to stow your weapon. If you are quick enough you use a shout then quickly hit your stow weapon button to cancel the auto attack.

or you could look up at the sky. it stops you from targeting anything, mostly. I do it often with rush on warrior GS

the exalted vendor in Verdant Brink only appears during Securing Verdant Brink phase of the meta (day).
the one in Auric Basin only appears once the meta is complete during the A Moments Rest phase iirc.

did you visit those areas during those times?

you know, you can follow the commander and the zerg without being in the squad, right?

for gift of metal you need to buy the recipe from Miyani and craft it with a level 400 weaponsmith:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gift_of_Metal

for gift of light you also need to buy the recipe from Miyani and craft it with a level 400 armorsmith:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gift_of_Light

if you did all 25 paths before the nerf it would net you 39.5g. if you do the same now it would net you 33.61g

also before you used to get 60 tokens per path (20 for complete, 40 bonus), now you get 100 (20 for complete, 80 bonus) + 150 in the bonus chest after 8 paths.

so really, it’s not nerfed into the ground as much anymore, it’s just more spread out. not sure why 6g would stop anyone from playing dungeons to be honest.

nottsgman.8206:

you start a new character. get free weapon & starter armor. do hearts as normal until high enough level for free set of copper tools or enough cash for them. continue as normal. easy.

In Core Tyria, which is where I’m guessing this hypothetical situation occurs, you can’t ‘do hearts’ with 100% map completion.

if you start over with a new character you can. if not in a spare slot, then delete the one you got 100% on.

that’s what I’d do.

either that or pick up random bones/planks off the ground and get participation for events.

you start a new character. get free weapon & starter armor. do hearts as normal until high enough level for free set of copper tools or enough cash for them. continue as normal. easy.

I’m not having this problem. tried several times, keeping an eye on the second checkpoint in particular, reached the end chest without problem and got loot as normal.

you might want to report this in-game too because it gives the devs more information about what is happening at the time. it could be a bug limited to the map shard you are on.
