Guild Wars 2

I have seen 1 and 2 numerous times, especially 1, that has been there for as long as I remember

happens every time there is a big patch, don’t worry about it, leave it, go get a cuppa and a book, it’ll download eventually

have you tried re-mapping your keys to something else? just something to try.

OT: this thread makes me wonder what is so bad about stickittenys that the forum algorithms insist on censoring it :/

that would be 40 mins left (under that now)

@Bri
I didn’t take the trap damage, because I don’t use them (gf does though and traited for them). I chose signet regen, long range, and signet effects (so they don’t just effect my pet).
I chose the wolves because I traited so that canines do cripple on f2, also they cripple and knockdown naturally, which allows me to get more hits in while still keeping a distance. the alpine one has chill also and the normal one has fear. its really all about keeping enemies at a distance, not that I can’t take a hit to the face. that and they seem pretty tough, despite having not so high vit stats. I know this probably isn’t so very realistic in dungeons, but it works for me in the open environment against just about anything, at least I’ve had no trouble with it. second reason I chose them was because the actual wolf took a bit of hassle to get (having to go into WvW for it), so I was determined to use that one after that.

would like to see spirits working well though, those would offer an alright support option, but as they are they aren’t really worth it.

Hi Thomas, welcome to the world of Guild Wars 2 and good to see you adding your name to the list of awesome that is this group

if you don’t break the rules you should be fine, don’t fear playing the game, theres no need for it. just play and have fun.

from what I understand you can’t do cross-server groupings in instances between NA and EU servers. you can if both are on NA servers, or both on EU ones, but other than that, it still seems like a no go.

Bri, its like you read my mind, I was going to ask the same thing, seeing as I’m verging on needing it.

I play a ranger, put my points into beast mastery and precision (I think), mostly so that I could make use of the pet more (its there and should be used in my opinion), so my pet usually does the tanking for me. I built like that because it works in PvE and I’m not that interested in PvP at the moment so don’t have to worry about pets not being so great at attacking (use it more as a shield and battlefield reviver). anyway, because I’m near 80 and also near the end of my personal story, I too would like advice as to what traits/skills/kit would be best to bring into a dungeon.

I have plenty of money to re-spec/re-gear, so no worries there.

currently putting off doing dungeon runs in favor of leveling my engi (which I’m enjoying more atm), so I’m in no rush (hoping turrets get a boost to be honest in the upcoming patch), and might need ideas on that one too when I get there (hit the half-way point)

edit: not precision afterall. shows how much I look at that doesn’t it :/
30/8/10/0/20 atm
I use longbow and axe/warhorn
pets I use are the 2 different wolves
mostly use signets (because I specced for it), and hounds of balthazar for skills. just so you guys know.

anything that dies when you hit it, although not things like rabbits

press “H” to bring up the hero panel, and from there there is a tab down the side called achievements. that lists your dailies, as well as monthly and any other progress on achievements.

HandFulls.3297:

Hummmm…
Never will be able to get this one. It always says “This content has been temporarily disabled”.
Been like this for over a month.
;-{~

content disabled message has nothing to do with using the catapult to get to the vista, that is for the gambling game that isn’t there. if you wait a while after you see the content disabled message (when the assistant leaves) you can interact with the catapult and get up there

did you complete the dailies on an alt? just asking because if you switch after you’ve done it the chest will only appear on the alt

for me it is the print screen key. don’t know if its different for others.

perhaps it is verifying the file that you transferred? have you tried letting it finish downloading the file to see what happens?

the content unavailable message isn’t to do with the use of the catapult, that is related to a gambling game that isn’t there.

the event that happens there is the key, as the catapult is only active for a short time after that. you have to wait until the event is done, and the assistant has gone to find more cows, then the catapult can be used (until he comes back).

if the event is bugged (not happening), then the catapult really is bugged. in that case, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for a server reset (15th Nov), that usually fixes all events.

if its anything like the last “one time only” finale event, it’ll repeat throughout the day, or at least be there all day. the halloween one time only event was just a cut scene, so maybe it’ll be like that. at least I hope so.

does anyone know if this new level 80 map will be there permanently? I’m not level 80 yet, and want to know if I can still experience it fully when I do get there or if I have to miss out.

I think the best JPs I’ve seen (fun wise anyway) have been Spekk’s Lab, Morgan’s Spiral (and Dark Reverie which essentially carries on from it), Weyandt’s Revenge, Goemm’s Lab and Wall Breach Blitz. oh yeah and the one in the Thaumanova Reactor, where the puzzle is charging the key, which eventually leads to a boss fight on the roof.

I think JPs are awesome, and go out of my way to do them. sometimes even if I’ve done them before and I’m in the area

nah, difference in spelling (which some people forget admittedly).

I think I should be allowed to wp into a group of nasties if I want to, instead of going somewhere else and running to it to kill said nasties. thats normally what causes the “contested” thing to come up.

I think it comes from WoW, but I can’t be sure. never used it myself, and I’m a brit

missing in Isle of Janthir too

you’re playing a human right? if thats the case, have you fully explored Divinity’s Reach (got all the vistas etc)? that gives quite a bit of xp. or you could try crafting and gethering to get your level up.

I think Gunnar’s Hold has a fairly high population, and the people I’ve met from there are a good bunch. I’m not sure how “full” it is though, and I don’t pay much attention to WvW stats so couldn’t tell you that.

Also if you want to get back to Desolation, you could always wait until off-peak time (very early morning), sometimes this helps the server to go back into “high” so you can transfer.

I don’t think it costs to switch servers yet, but you can only do it once every 7 days. seeing as it is still free, you really have nothing to lose in switching to test it.

simpler solution would be to change the port skype uses. I run it on a custom port and have never had issues with GW2 logging in. if I leave it on it’s default settings though I do.

did you happen to take a screenie of said sword?

send me an invite please? I might not rep all the time, and I’m probably on a different server to everyone else, but still, I think its a great idea!

if you want to know what armor and dye someone is using, whats wrong with asking the person? I’m sure people wouldn’t mind saying what it is. they don’t even have to link the piece. no stats shown or anything, just what it is. simple

told you it was a silly question, was just making sure is all

have you tried stations in a different location, so away from Lion’s Arch? does the same happen there, or is it only in Lion’s Arch that you have the bug?

ok silly question, but did you actually talk to the master tailor to choose tailoring as your craft?

see, the crafting stations won’t work as crafting station if that isn’t your crafting profession. so it made me wonder if you had or not. just a thing to check

also interacting with it again after the cutscene, and releasing fixes the camera. I had this happen in my game and thats what I did

aha! another Isle of Janthir roamer, there doesn’t seem to be many. welcome Saint

you can represent/join a guild on a different server, yes.

this might help, it lists them, and shows a screenshot of the start:

lol Noppy I think everyone’s done that before. maybe you get to a certain level and suddenly get in to the mindset of “oh its on a building its going to be difficult to get”. did it myself in Metrica Province the other day. the vista was about half way up the building, so I went all the way to the top and jumped down to it, only to realise I could have actually got there from the middle level itself and ran up the ramp to it :/

at times you do have to wait for the harpy event to go through there for the catapult to reset.

just mentioning this because if the event bugs out (or the skill point on the hill for that matter) the catapult does get stuck unfortunately

can it be cross servers for personal story though? does that count as a real instance? its not something I’ve tried, but I’m hoping it works the same way

thanks Xander, I’ll let you know when I’m good to go, I’m on Isle of Janthir so it is a NA server. getting on it might be difficult though, it always seems to be full, but once I get to that point I’m good to wait if you want to try hop over.

I thought parties could be cross server for instances, as long as they were the same region (EU or NA), but I guess I could be wrong there.

I haven’t got there yet, but I am close. I’m doing Vigil story, not sure if that makes a difference because it doesn’t seem to anymore in the dialogues shrugs

I’m guessing it will probably be easier than doing the actual dungeon (whichever it is), but do know I can’t do it alone, or with one friend (although something tells me I would attempt it if that was the only choice I had lol)

so yeah, just looking for some good people to come along

lol I don’t know bri. I’m a complete noob when it comes to dungeons. don’t know anything about paths, why I’m looking for help really. need some hand holding type guidance. like I said, never touched the dungeons and I will admit they seem intimidating

have you accidentally turned auto fire off? I’ve done this a time or two. the skill icon will show arrows around the outer edge if it is on. was just a thought.

ctrl+right click to turn it on if you find its off.

at some point in the near future, would anyone be willing to help me with the end of the personal story? I hear it goes through a dungeon, and the one thing I haven’t touched in game is dungeons (yet).

I’m not sure how it would work across servers, but just wondered if any of you guys would lend a hand when the time comes.

have you tried putting them in the collections (deposit items). I sometimes have problems with things in my inventory not turning up on the crafting stations and find that depositing them sometimes fixes it. also try getting enough to make 1 more ingot, that also helps it to realise you have some.

guess I had a bug before with them not showing then lol

that juvenile was still white though, and should have been green

all the white and yellow text on creatures (but not trees etc) has started showing in my game (no matter the distance). this never happened before. before today I only saw enemy names because I have that option ticked, it didn’t used to show yellow and white ones (I think these come under npc names, which I have disabled) unless I was pressing ctrl, or I was virtually up their noses.

I also noticed a juvenile animal (pink moa) who wasn’t green like they usually are, but white. I wasn’t playing a ranger so couldn’t check to see if it was charmable.

I have tried turning the show names options on and off and the only thing that gets rid of all the yellow and white names is turning off show enemy names. this makes no sense for the white text animals like rabbits.

this has only started happening today.

lol maybe we should start checking their hands for crystals

must be first generation though, I don’t see any numbers after npc names :/

kingslayer you just made my day! that made me laugh so hard

ArcTheFallen.7682:

Each puzzle resets on a 24 hour basis from when your character LAST did the puzzle

are you sure? I did a jumping puzzle 2 hours before the reset and while helping someone else was able to collect the chests again after the reset, not 24 hours. maybe it was a bug that time though, I don’t re-do the puzzles often so can’t really say

I can’t say I’ve ever had a lag problem on overflow servers, ended up in overflow alot in the halloween event especially in LA and the clock tower/labyrinth, and it’ll probably happen again with this event.

Kessex Hills (south of Queensdale) has bears to tame (15-25 area), so I’d go in at least at lvl 14-15. they are in the top left and bottom right corners of the map
