Guild Wars 2

What’s stuck in my mind is, this is Heart of Thorns. The vision from the egg showed a Heart made of vines. We killed Mordremoth’s Mind and his Mouth but what about his heart? Was the heart automatically destroyed when we killed the mind? Does the heart even matter with the mind gone…wait, with the mind gone Mordremoth was still in Trahearne so....×.×. Does killing Trahearne means Mordremoth is truly gone, how many seeds can Mordremoth truly plant? He could have just made another copy of Faolin.

One thing that that has been bothering me is, we never saw what happen with Scarlet’s body. Is it still in the breachmaker or was it destroyed? I’m guessing, it was destroyed.

MaximillianVonSchatten.6278:

There is something wrong. I partied up with someone to guide them from VB to DS last night and every time we made it to a new map we were placed in separate instances, and I had to re-join him in the instance. And none of these maps were anything close to full.

You would think the priority for putting people on the same instance would be based on party?

The party placement algorithm looks at several factors: One important one is seeing if the person is on another server. If they are, they are normally placed onto their “server” map even with Megaserver active.

Caitzor.1984:

Hello All, I just start to do the “Heart of Thorns” expansion. I did the first two missions “Prologue” Rally to Maguuma" and “Torn from the Sky” When I was done with them, I ported out of the story and went to Silverwastes. Now, I am trying to do “Establishing a Foothold” but I cannot get to the Tangled Labyrinth because I do no have it unlocked on my map. Any advice on how to get over there or is it a bug? Thanks. I attached a photo to show where it wants me to go in the story and where I don’t have “tangled labyrinth” unlocked.

You can try restarting the story by quitting the episode.

Well that’s what I’ve been referring to as my people ‘the silent majority’ that liked the old ways and the old world and frankly hate the new way.

Central Tyria is always there if you want to stay with the “old ways”.

Are you going to offer refunds to all those people you ask to stay in the core? No? I thought so.

Why would I? I don’t work for Anet, so you’re right to think so.

Celine.6857:

Hi, my guild and I did a similar PvP GM but the goal was to score 500 points. As said above you must form a guild team via the guild panel, queue as that team and get the mission started before queuing.

I agree about the time constraint, however, the good thing about GMs now is that they don’t cost anything to re-try. So, if you fail because of time or w/e just try again.

One other thing I’ll say is, we had verification of our success before the match was even over and I personally found that useful. Considering you can get the right amount of points needed to succeed whether you win or lose (we won btw lol) that is very useful IMO.

Good luck on future missions!

I was surprised they included verification for the Guild Mission before the match was even over. That was very helpful of Anet. Having a time limit does make it a challenge but it seems to favor one sided matches. 500 point requirement, is even more one-sided. Thank you for your response.

autopsie.6159:

Are the people running 32 bit client just screwed?

Is Anet planning actually fix the 32 bit client or do they intend to drop any and all support for it? (as it seems they dont support it now from the response i got from the support team)

Anet said the 64 bit client was already planned before the crashes. They plan to continue to work on the 32 bit issues but it will take longer to resolve with no ETA. This was posted on the 64-bit client thread.

1) So my first question is the personal score of 300 a summation of the guild team.
Yes, it is a summary of the guild team.
2) Do we have to make a guild team and not just rep?
Yes, you have to make a guild team through the Guild UI window (G key).

Hi,
These 2 achievements would not work for me so I played through the instance, finished it and spoke to the NPC outside to get the reward for this piece of the story. I then went into story and chose “Replay” the same story instance and was able to do the last 2 achievements. Just restarting won’t help, you need to complete it and replay it on a character that has already completed it it would seem.

Definitely a bug

I’ll try that tomorrow, I completed the story with character A. Then did the story again with character B, the sheet of paper for peer review didn’t appear but the mission said I was eligible for the achievement. I’ll try again on character B, later today. Thank you.

Tested it today, I got both achievements just fine. I made sure to talk to each piece of paper in order, I’m not sure if that is what is causing it bug out for people or not. Lastly, remember you can’t see the sheet of paper unless your particular character has beaten that story already.

Just wanted to state my thoughts on this, anyone is welcome to respond.

The current guild mission for PvP Conquest requires players to contribute a total score of 300. We initially assumed this meant over one match, if the description could be change to several matches that would be great (I know now it was implied).

[Main Issue, Short Version]
If a guild team only has 3 players, this can limit the diversity of roles or play styles that are deemed acceptable.

[long version]
If a team has a bunker or tank, more than likely their score will be low. Some members of the guild party may turn against the bunker or tank and ask them to reroll. This seems against Anet’s idea of PvP should accept viable roles. This guild mission requirement seems to emphasize less bunker or tanks for guild mission credit. If a guild is small and can only have 3 players to do the guild mission then the fact that a bunker is on their team seems to put them at disadvantage. Another restriction is the time limit of 30 mins, sometimes Queues take several minutes to get in.

For instance we finished two matches without about 8-10 mins left on the timer. Those were landslide games, a match where both teams are equal will prolong the length of the mission. If the queue is being exceptional slow, a guild may not be able to get into a second match to make up for the low score of the tank.

This is my opinion on PvP Conquest Individual Scoring in a Guild Mission. Seems more like personal glory than working together with your guild to win a map. I assume it was worked this way so winning is not a requirement. This new system is having people look and judge their teammates by personal score. It’s similar to the PvE version of Achievement Points, where players decide to make assumptions based off of a number.

Same, I am trying to look for the entrance to the mine, wanting to upgrade it. Do we have to force the map close to reload the mine?

Edit: the mine opened when we force the map to close. I think the mine close itself when we upgrade war room.

Interesting update, thank you.

Raids have player health bars, you have to focus on them when playing a druid to keep them alive. It was very very similiar to GW1, with one exception. You could not see people conditions in the raid Squad UI.

Glhf focusing on menu health bars, because all skills heal skills are either targeted AoE or pbAoE with about the range of a stretched out staff.

Was talking about raids not zergs, the druids did a great job healing us in raids.

Music played during the Tarir fight, couldn’t find it anywhere so I recorded it ingame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0Kp9XK-f7A

If it violates any copyright or anything like that let me know.

Thank you.

Xenon.4537:

I just wanted to express my feels for the amazing music I’ve heard so far. My favorite is the theme “Tarir, The Forgotten City” composed by Lena Chappelle. When the music swells around 1:23 it fills me with joy every time. <3

I recently learned Lena also composed the “Labyrinthine Cliffs” and “Sanctum Sprint” songs, which are two of my super favorites since the new composers took over for Jeremy Soule. Lena you are amazing! <3 <3 <3

Whenever, I heard Tarir song, I immediately thought of Sanctum Sprint. Tarir and Sanctum Sprint are among my favorite songs in GW2.

I tried druid a few days after the expansion and let me tell you, pretty fun.
I’ve never tried a healing class in any MMO before so iunno
AND this game has some issues sometimes..
BUT HEY
Them heals be fun
Structured doe

Druid is not a typical MMO healing class. No spec in GW2 is and it will never be without rebuilding game’s combat and profession philosophy. What most people mean by healer is a class that is focused on watching other people health bars and playing whack a mole with them. GW1 had such healing (actually monk from GW1 was my favorite healing class from any MMO I ever played and I played many). GW2 does not. That being said, if you stack some druids in a zerg, they can make a difference. But as a druid you wont be constantly saving people’s lives.

Raids have player health bars, you have to focus on them when playing a druid to keep them alive. It was very very similiar to GW1, with one exception. You could not see people conditions in the raid Squad UI.

Mine appeared with more crates and crystals in them now o.O.

I relogged and we still can’t see ours. I also got this error message twice, you can only see it when you turn on game messages:

Kal Spiro.9745:

They’re tough, which is why in every fight I always target the snipers first. But they’re a good tough. They’re not insurmountable, they’re just difficult. Honestly I find the itzel archers to be a much bigger pain than mordrem snipers. The snipers can’t teleport, so when they go stealth it’s usually not a big deal to just attack where they were.

I agree, eliminate the sniper first and the itzel archers poison clouds are really effective x.x

skyhawk.5149:

Yes, to receive credit u have to create a guild team and add in members. All members should also be in a party to be in the same match.

Thank you, wasn’t sure if we had to make an official team using the guild panel UI or not.

Ohoni.6057:

1. Circle around him. Also, you know when he shoots, by seeing him charging up. You could go back to distance to completely avoid damage or just dodge out of it. Always keep moving around if you are unsure.

No. I could do those things, but do not want to. I just want them to stop being jerks.

lol

For a PvP Guild Mission, it requires 3 people of the same guild to get credit. But the directions state, “Guild team members must win”. Does that mean , we have to create a guild team using the “Create Team” button on the Guild Panel to get credit? Or can we just form a party of 3 and receive credit?

Thank you ArenaNet

Dara Potocska.8196:

Concerning the boost:

If you purchase the boost, you will have the time it takes to make a tick of aetherium reduced by 5% (this applies to all available influence to aetherium boost changes).

For example:
1 aetherium may be mined per 60 seconds before the boost.
1 aetherium may be mined per 57 seconds after the boost.

Thanks Dara, ,it would be nice to have a visual confirmation that the boost is being applied. Like have the aetherium processing bar change to a differ color, just so players can know it took affect. Or little white arrows showing its being accelerated on the orange bar. Right now i’m testing out the 1 min speed boost but its hard for me to tell whether the speed boost is actually taking effect or not.

Since, I’m unsure we’re hesitant to use any influence on this merchant. I started an upgrade at 30 seconds renaming, according to your message we should get one additional aetherium at the next 33 second mark right? So far, we only get an aetherium when the countdown timer reaches 0. Thank you for your time.

Is anyone else experience this issue?

Anet, “Fixed an issue that prevented Aetherium Boosts purchased from the influence trader from applying their full effect.”

I still haven’t seen any real effect after applying 1,000k influence. We’ll probably won’t use this feature unless there is a noticeable change. Especially, since we can’t earn influence anymore.

I and others answer this question in the later posts in this thread.

Red Mistress Denna.9804:

The waypoints appear to bug out if you ever have multiple copies of your Guild Hall open. The problem appears to then persist even if the extra map closes.

Also, last night I purchased the Mining Rate upgrade for my mine. This has increased our mining rate from 1 per minute to 1 per 50 seconds. This works out to:
20 hours 50 minutes per 1500
13 hours 53 minutes per 1000
6 hours 56 minutes per 500

Thanks for the information!

Red Mistress Denna.9804:

Should also note; the mining boost 1,000 Aetherium for 10 minute increase is also bugged.

Yes, I did not see any boost to aetherium when we used it.
Waypoints also are working for us once we got to Guild Level 10.

I like the 2nd suggestion, an upgrade to make waypoints free or reduced costs in the Guild Hall.

Update: Waypoints seems to work for free once you get to guild level 10.

Narrrz.7532:

I’m getting good gold drops from enemies (mostly…)

i haven’t honestly looked to see if the events reward money – even at 80, it was always only a few coppers usually.

Yeah, I guess the rares make up for it. I just remember seeing silver rewards from fighting in Cursed Shore. Thanks

In the new HoT Areas is anyone earning money to cover waypoint fees? Seems like my and others income are slowly going down overtime.

Two Items:
1) The mastery completion bar does stretches over to the icon that the player is working on. I thought my master progress was at 90% for 1-2 hours, when really it was at 100%
2) When a mastery is ready to train it would be nice to keep the pop up there longer or require a player to click on to dismiss it. If they was in the game, I would have known my mastery was ready to train.

Thank you.

Mapping, story mission, mastery points, farming events, exploring, adventures, reading/looking for lore and more. Not to mention farming for guild hall materials, that are worth a ton on the Trading Post. There are a lot of things to do on the new map besides hero points.

Yeah when Axemaster does 100,000+ unless your in shroud, that +50 toughness is totally going to block that

That’s sarcasm btw, if you didn’t catch it, maybe I have to explain to you

If I remember right.. maybe cc boss to stop it might help you.

Actually ran into this boss today. When you get that smoke on you, you are downed when timer on it runs out. He also stealths so he is hard to even follow around to even try to CC. His description mentioned something about his stealth but he did it so much I couldn’t even follow it. Didn’t get much sleep though so I may just be braindead atm.. Only thing I can think of is we need some mastery . There seems to be lots of mushrooms where he is so it may be something to do with the mushrooms.

Anyone actually beat him and care to share?

When stayed on him as much as possible, when his blue bar appeared we spammed CC. Damaged him and then repeated.

Or you can take 0 damage, that’s truth if you didn’t catch it. If you’re still unclear, I can explain it to you

Or maybe people are doing other things than hero points on the map.

We’ve noticed that guild members that have not played in over 2 years are showing on the map 24/7 and are not moving. At first it was only 2 people showing on the 23rd, now 5 people are appearing on everyone’s maps.

So many items that have to stay in the inventory :/

The boss was only alive for six seconds, Foulbear was not buffed like the other world bosses during the updates earlier this year. It is hard to receive credit on this boss.

It depends on the group. I’ve seen him last over a minute and keel over within 10 seconds. I’m sure it’s difficult to balance: too much and we have The Butcher (a fight that lasts forever, without being that interesting or fun).

The Maw is ok and scales properly, Foulbear should be able to as well. Except foulbear never received the buffs that The Maw did in 2014-2015.
