Guild Wars 2

was working fine when I went there, which was 5 minutes ago (went to check to see if it was bugged and the escort event was up).

edit to add: after champ is dead the event chain resets in 10 minutes (I hung around and waited for it to happen)

I have one (Noble’s Folly), but only use it on a single character, the one I park in the area to craft (and play with the makeover npc). I don’t even remember why I bought it, but I find it pretty useless so don’t even share it among my characters in a shared slot.

why do I find it virtually useless? because there is no return to where you were option, so it is way more convenient to go to the pvp lobby to use vendors/bank/tp if I need them for free than it is to waste a shared slot on the scroll.

I’d buy more of them, or even an extra shared slot to put the one I have in if they had a return option. as they are waypointing to Rata Sum (or any city) is on the same level of convenience, which doesn’t really make them convenient at all.

scythe always points to the right for me and I’m not using that skin, so I’m pretty sure it should be like that

you might want to contact support, and they’ll help to figure out what’s going on

the select ally hotkey doesn’t work how you think it should in any game mode. it only selects NPCs and pets etc (no idea why), never other players.

if you need to select your team members quickly, use the party UI and click on them in that. it’s the only way to select someone quickly that I’ve found.

glider came out Feb last year (iirc), so it’s just over a year old.

would like a backpack skin of the same, thought that when it came out.

as far as I’ve seen, the character’s lower body stays stationary, but their upper body seems to do a full turn. this only looks odd when running, as the stationary animation has the character do a full turn with their entire body, but the moving one only has the top half twist. this only happens in fire attunement.

have you tried running into the updrafts? that’s how they usually work. jumping into them never has, but running into them always has for me.

this is a silly question, but is your mouse over the thing you are trying to scroll?

usually it has to be, otherwise it is out of focus and zooms in or out instead. just making sure it’s not that.

if it isn’t, you could try repairing the client by following the instructions here:

hmm let’s see… quaggans definite nope, professions nope, Tybalt nope, and Aurene even more nope.

needs more Asura, Trahearne, Canach and Forgal before I’d ever be interested.

I’ve been really liking the new gliders. they have been amazing! really appreciate the obvious effort that has gone into the designs and the animations.

still wishes for a pirate based glider to go with HSM Divinity & the pirate skins

rank symbols in a guild?

open the guild panel and click Ranks. click on the rank you want to change the icon on and click the Edit Rank button, then click the symbol to change it

the armor is tier 3 human cultural.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Human_cultural_armor

aren’t they done in an instance? pretty sure you can’t use a teleport to friend in an instance.

by every single achievement guide, do you mean Dulfy (most guides use Dulfy as a base, I’m pretty sure because they all tend to be the same)?
http://dulfy.net/2014/11/04/gw2-lost-badge-silverwastes-achievement-guide/

Dulfy’s numbers are not the same as Anet’s numbers. attached is a conversion table.

try updating your graphics card drivers (I’m guessing you’ve tried that already).

are you using reshade or gemfx? are you using a dps meter, overlays or anything like that? if you are have you tried removing them?

I don’t have any other suggestions. so if none help, I’d say make a ticket with the support team

it looks like a corrupted texture, so if you haven’t I’d definitely give it a go.

if you use staff/scepter and stand on the small raised area to the right of the statue close to the right wall (right side as you’re facing it from the entrance), the orbs have to move around the raised area and up to you, you can run/dodge off the side of the raised area and down towards the entrance without getting hit by them. it dissolves/dissipates about half way. if you stay close to that wall, you won’t get knocked down by the hammer attack either.

your friend should really contact support and give them as many details as possible and what has happened. you don’t need an account to submit a ticket (click submit your ticket anonymously), all you need is an email address you have access to (for replies etc).
https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

have you been clicking leave or the x at the top or just running away? asking because my GF had this same problem, she was just running away (out of range until it disappeared) from the dialogue, but it worked properly once she started clicking the leave in the dialogue.

go to the legendary recipe guy in LA, it’s under recipes (same place as the tier 1).

you’re not aiming for the tangled labyrinth, that’s a totally different place. you need to go around Amber to the side with the vista on and there’s a door in the side of the cliff which leads to where you need to go (where my character marker is in the map screenie)

hope that helps some

I know this doesn’t help you, but it works fine in my game (I’m on TC if that helps).

Physically, sylvari are male or female, and the relevant external biology is accurate on both, but they cannot sexually reproduce as the other races do; they have no internal organs capable of creating children.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dream_and_Nightmare

so yes, they do ‘have the parts’

also

To a sylvari, love is about inspiration. Physical touch, ardor, and sensuality are beautiful things, but what the heart feels, what gives joy to the spirit – these are most important, and that has nothing at all to do with the physical form. Love is not bound by gender. It does not ignore the pairing of hearts simply because the bodies are alike. Indeed, the sylvari feel free to love (and love openly) regardless of the physical qualities of their beloved. It would surprise them to hear that someone of any race felt differently. They would say that love is too precious to be passed over simply because someone’s eyes are blue, their hair is dark, or because they are of the same sex.

eternity is only classed as 1 legendary, so when you equipped it, it counted as 1. it doesn’t matter to the game that you used 2 others to craft it, only that you are equipping 1 legendary, unfortunately.

if you click the ‘show details’ button if you next get a crash it will show you what is in the error report. you can copy and paste the top part of the error report here (the part between —> Crash <-- and —> System <--), and someone might be able to help identify what is causing it

this one? you can click it to select it then press f (or whatever your interact key is), or double click it.

according to the wiki:

Sylvari do not “choose” their names nor are they outright given by the Pale Tree or other sylvari. Instead, the sylvari simply ‘know’ their names upon awakening, though why is never explored and the sylvari do not question why this is.

Justine.6351:

If I’m not mistaken in order to research reaper you have to have all lines maxed. If you are level 80 you automatically get enough points to max all the core lines.

this^

the original gave you 5, not 8. always has, and still does.

edited to add: I know this because my kids have accounts (bought way before HoT was even a thing), they both have 5 character slots.

were you playing a warrior? did you accidentally/on purpose use vengeance?
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vengeance

this could account for the sudden death if that is the case.

the dye looks like it could be Midnight Ice to me, but I could be wrong

the trains still happen, regularly from what I’ve seen. they mostly advertise in LFG, so keep your eye on that if one isn’t going on in the map you’re in.

Despair.2374:

My only complaint is that they are way too big for shoulders, can we maybe get the default size that we see on the original outfit?

They’re too big on the asura model currently, but the ones I get from the outfit are perfect.

so much this. seriously. if they were the same size as the outfit I’d be more inclined to consider them, but as is, no way.

I don’t think asura have grown, but I’m pretty sure Taimi has, though that could just be me

Vegeta.2563:

Jon Olson.8439:

AWS is having network issues at this time.

If someone owns the GW2 Discs.. does this automatically convert them to 64 bit, or is it still 32 bit, and they would have to download the new installer?

if you own the cd it automatically converts when you start the game if I remember right

I don’t know what the problem is to be honest. it was just a suggestion seeing as you said you used the oddity and it crashed. it could have been a corrupted file, so I suggested the repair.

if you continue to crash I’d suggest making a support ticket
https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

you could try repairing the game client by following the steps here:
https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/201863008-Repairing-the-Game-Client

the repair process can appear to stop responding, but it will usually complete still if you leave it alone (on my machine it takes roughly 10 mins for the repair to complete and the launcher to appear again).

the not responding status seems to happen if you click away from the repair (like looking at the forum while it’s running), but it doesn’t stop it from doing it’s thing. just leave it until the launcher appears.

does it come up with a crash report? if it does, you can click the ‘more details’ button and copy & paste the top part of the crash report here (the part between —> Crash <— and —> System <—).

or is it a windows “GW2.exe has stopped responding” crash?

SkyAceHz.5087, your problem appears to be LavasoftTcpService64.dll. you will want to uninstall all lavasoft programs, like ad-aware or web companion.

if you have problems removing it, or it doesn’t go after uninstalling, you can try the options from Lavasoft support:
http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?/topic/34376-solution-for-lavasofttcpservice-problem-after-uninstallation/

while they’re at it, maybe someone can fix the lights in the entranceway of the Great Lodge in Hoelbrak. there’s lit candles there, but it seems they forgot how to be candles because it’s dark.

according to the wiki shared inventory slots last had a discount August 25, 2016, before that it was April 8, 2016. that doesn’t mean there will be a sale in April 2017. most things in the gem store (apart from certain outfits/armors) don’t seem to have any kind of sale pattern as far as I’ve seen.

have you looked at the wiki page for the potion recipes?
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Help_Cesseilia_defend_and_research_the_oasis#Potion_recipes

once you have a complete recipe, you talk to her, and she gives you a bucket, which you throw over the spider nest things nearby.

alternatively, wait for the event that runs through there.

Also, they usually move at standard walking pace, which is now way, way below the standard movement rate of players, because speed boosting traits.

even without speed boosting traits etc, they still move painfully slow compared to the player. their standard moving speed is somewhere between player walk and player run speeds without boosts. always has been.

they are temporarily disabled at the moment. you will probably get one when it is fixed.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Level-80-boost-item-temporarily-disabled/

works fine for me.

not sure what you mean by ‘influence gems’, could you maybe post a screenshot?

yes it is supposed to be like that.

the anthology of heroes says:
Used with exotic inscriptions and insignias to change the stats on ascended weapons and armor in the Mystic Forge.
Warning: All upgrades will be lost.

you could try contacting support. they might be able to give you the infusion back.

personally I didn’t find the map at all interesting. the white mantle mobs everywhere are as boring as constantly fighting centaurs in Harathi (which is another map I don’t go in). the hearts were largely uninteresting, with one being a copy/paste job from queensdale (along with the buggy blocking seraph). the exception to this was the stealth heart (at the Mantle Fortress), which I found amazingly fun. and special mention to the guy in the well.

the map aside (and the go explore the map and do stuff part of story), the story instances were great. even though parts of it (Taimi) were hugely predictable and the re-inserting of a character I didn’t care about (Demmi), I enjoyed it. I really liked how much Logan has grown as a character, and liked Canach and his sarcasm (as always).

the lead up to the boss fight was good, especially the riddle rooms, and the letters everywhere. the boss fight itself was engaging and fun. I like things that make you pause for a moment and think, and this was it. absolutely perfect boss battle if you ask me.

honestly can’t wait to see what happens next!

the only new legendary I haven’t liked so far is the quaggan shield (I have a thing against quaggans, only reason. if it had been a baby krait or anything but a quaggan I’d have probably liked it too). the rest I think are brilliant. on original legendaries, I like 8/20 (incinerator, quip, predator, zap, juggernaut, plus the 3 aquatic ones), the others I find ugly and ridiculous (especially the greatswords).

seeing as they aren’t doing aquatic ones this time around, then already for me it’s 6 to 5 in favour of the new based on land weapons.

I have good hopes for future ones.

what recent regen nerfs?

the only regen changes I know of happened in October and that was to to lower the stacks from 9 to 5.

was there another after that?
