Guild Wars 2

By chance did you note if you TP was appearing like reported in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Weird-BLT-bug-Test-Inventory ? Maybe both issues have something to do.

It happened to me too. One day I teleported to a Wp in the middle of the city (I think it was the plaza, near where the asura gates was used to be) but then it took me back to a loading screen and I landed at south at Bloodcoast WP. After that I could used any WPs inside there freely.

Pyroathiest.4168:

We already knew this. Look a page back at all the lovely communication Tyler Chapman gave us in his last couple days at Anet.

Yes, I know that. I have been following this thread and I even saw about Tyler saying it was his last day there. I just wanted to share that quote for those that hadn’t seen that article yet.

Too bad that Temporal Curtain seems not be going to get an improvement, no stacking swiftness sux :S

@Lishtenbird: where did that pict came from?

For those who hasn’t seen this yet:

In the April 2014 Feature Pack, we’re focusing on giving the mesmer a few more options for applied conditions and support/survivability. Clones and phantasms will receive some updates and bug fixes, including the repair of the Illusionary Warden. Along with a few other bug fixes, the mesmer will benefit greatly from the changes to sigils, especially now that they can equip two sigils to their greatsword or staff. We’re also quite excited about a few new mesmer traits that are becoming available, such as Maim the Disillusioned, which has a great name.

I can’t find where but I remember someone reporting this some time ago… (yay for broken search :S)

If you suspect it was due a bug or something, try to contact them through support and they will get it sorted.

As mentioned in this thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Weird-BLT-bug-Test-Inventory it looks be a “test inventory” listing, as the gold and gem amount looks so “default”.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/odd-TP-bug-free-gold-kind-of/

No, not part of the rules and I remember people reporting this some time ago. Thanks to the broken search I can’t find the thread about this.

Tman.6349:

As for the ‘E’ between the different abilities, it has always been there and you likely never noticed it.

No, at least not for me. It always showed up as a “·” for me. I remember someone reporting this here on forums some time ago. I think it started with Wintersday release or the one before it.

Maybe it has to do with the language or the system. What OS are you using?

hehe, you are welcome. I can’t recall what the default value is for that option, but it drove me nuts a lot of times before I could figure out why it was happening lol. Maybe I changed it without know what it really is meant for and then when I saw its effect I had no idea it had anything to do lol. I believe the default is Off, so you must have changed it at some point for some reason and didn’t know what would be its effects, like I did. Anyway, there you are, mystery solved hehe.

Lol (not laughing at you but at the situation, I felt silly when I discovered it..) From what I see you are in a WvW map, right? Check your options and see the option about Team Color. If it’s set to Everyone you will see yourself and everyone else tinted with the team colors. That’s the reason for that, not a bug actually. Your team is blue, that’s why your armor is blueish. Look everyone else around you and you will see them tinted the same way.

I went through the same thing and it took me a while to figure out why that, my char kept appearing with a greenish tone and whatever change I did it never worked.

Try to set it to None or Enemy Only if you don’t want to see yourself with odd colors.

FrostSpectre.4198:

Hmm. I wonder if this extents to downed state too.

Yes, it does, sadly enough…

Yes, I had this issue some days ago and a friend had it the day before yesterday, we both on Seafarer’s Rest. For me it solved by letting it kill me and then I was back after revived. I helped my friend by using a Portal beneath them. It seems the fact about jumping seems be true. I’m used to enter that portal by jumping it (the design of it somewhat tells you that you must jump as it seems have a degree lol).

Also remember that it will give you a bone [weapon?] (or something like..) if your inventory is full instead the heirlooms. And I can’t recall it properly but I think it’s not per account, but per char. If I’m not wrong I was able to get heirlooms from the same ruble but using different chars.

What still bugs me is almost all time it keeps aiming random moas around instead the closer mobs that’s about “to jump on my throat”… :S

Actually, targeting has been acting “weird” for a long time now, see this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Targeting-Still-Broken-Please-Fix-It (that needs a bump btw..)

Tazera.4739:

Also, when using way points to new locations, my sylvari character disappears for a while and the only thing I can see are his weapons. I suppose it’s because the places are overflowed

Yes, I have seen it happening a lot at the LA (before the destruction) and it would stay that away for around 1 min or so. I believe it would happen due lag because of a overcrowded map.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Regardless, this is the option that allows NPCs that were standing to lay down, for many people.

Hmm really, it does? From what I recall that option is meant to define how many characters should be rendered with high quality based on their distance (aka draw distance), but it’s weird that even characters only at a few steps from my char are having the “standing” issue. :S

Lol, that’s a curious glitch.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Bottom of Advanced Settings…WvW Character Options

Oh I see. I’m used to change settings while on PvE and it shows a different options at that place while in there. I have never changed settings while in WvW so why I had never seen that options.

If you can, try to take a screenshoot of the issue and also tell what your video settings are. Glitches can occur due several reasons.

another related one: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Spamblock-while-commanding-in-EotM

Yes, I see how it can make things hard for commanders. As it was said before, the system works pretty well indeed (see the very low spam rate in game). However, the threshold for it seems be too low.

Some days ago I was trying to test some chat link codes from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chat_link_format/0x03_codes just to confirm if the info on wiki was right. I pasted 2 (one per once) of those codes successfully but when testing the 3rd I got the “suppressed” warning. How could only 3 different messages be considered spamming? From what I understand, spamming is repetitive and annoying message (stressing on “repetitive”) and I would take as repetitive if it happens 5, 10 or more times and if the exact same message or similar.

Indeed the devs deserve some compliments for this system as it’s working more than expected. But it’s clear it needs some tweaking.

Virtuality.8351:

0. During the whole process, the character is out of combat.

1. When none of my utility slots (#7/#8/#9) is equipped with Portal, I trigger one of those utility skill, for example, #7.

2. Now #7 is cooling down. The CD clock’s ticking.

3. Then I swap one of my the other two utility slots, both of which are not in CD, to Portal.

4. The portal abnormally goes into CD, with the same timer as the CD of the #7 utility skills.

Hmm, I tested it with several skills of different types (instant skills, mantras, signets, ground target based…) and none of them caused Portal to go into abnormal cooldown. :S I did exactly as you mentioned: triggering a skill of a slot and then swapping other slot to Portal. Portal never got into cooldown.

Maybe it can happen underwater, I haven’t tested there yet.

If you believe that certain feature is a bug or can be exploited you can report it on Bug forums, depending on how severe is the exploit (since other people could discover it through your post and also take advantage). To report players using exploits you can do that using the ingame tool (right click player’s name > Report) or try to contact support directly. Another way to report exploits without showing it publicly is using the Bug report ingame (game menu > Bug Report), it may take a screenshoot of your screen so you might use it when the exploit is happening in front you.

Wow, your issue with LFG is really bizarre.

thepinkthingy.5921:

- Trading Post: I think a few people having similar issues. I can’t sell. When I want to sell item A (right click + sell on trading post), the TP window loads but it hangs for a second or two, then it goes into the window for “sell on trading post”. List of my items pops up. I click on the item that I want to sell, screen loads for item A, can’t click on anything. So I turn off the TP window and try again. Doesn’t work.

A thing I have noted about TP is similar to what you said: if I right-click an item on inventory and choose to sell it, then the TP window opens, take a time to load, Sell on TP tab pops up and then if I select any other item different from the one that I right-clicked in inv, all suddenly it auto-selects the item that I right-clicked instead of staying on the one I selected in TP window (I believe this is expected, since the TP was expected to open ready for selling “that” item). However, the Sell button becomes unclickable. It requires me to select another item and then that one back in order to be able to sell it.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

For NPCs that are standing, instead of laying down, try adjusting your WvW Character options. For most, that has solved the problem. Might work for your other issues, as well.

Sorry but I can’t recall which option are you talking about. the only option I can think of regarding loading characters is the one related to culling, then related to loading player’s characters, not NPCs. Could you tell which option are you referring to?

And then, one more to collection… :P

Lishtenbird.2814:

• #4 Temporal Curtain. This is a bug. The tooltip says: “Create a wall of energy that grants Swiftness to allies who cross it while crippling foes who touch it.” If I have swiftness and I cross the wall of energy, I am not granted swiftness. Thus, bug.

Yes, if it was an intended behavior the tooltip should say so. And even if it was intended, why does it have to be different from any other skill that grants swiftness? The swiftness boon’s tooltip itself says it can be stacked.

About IWarden issue.. one more to collection :P

First of all…

Wubdor.5190:

I tried searching on the forum, and, to my surprise, I found nothing about this issue.

.. search on forum is broken, so I’m not surprised you haven’t found any other thread about this issue :P

Wubdor.5190:

It looks even sillier on the NPCs that are supposed to be sitting or lying down, and just stand there, cracking their neck, looking around, rubbing their hands.

Yes, it was first noted at Wayfarer Foothills and other Norn areas, NPCs supposed to be lying (like the Passed Out Warriors at Wayfarer) just stand still on place. I also have noted it with the new Living Story at the refugee camps at Gendarran, NPCs that are wounded and then supposed to be lying down are standing still, stretching out, rubbing hands, etc.

There is a thread about that Passed Out Warriors issue but, as I said above, I can’t find it now :P

Yeah, I have experienced that, mainly with ambient crabs. Shooting with different skills wouldn’t work except the 3rd skill from greatsword and Chaos Storm (5th) from staff.

P.S.: Btw, it seems your 2nd pic doesn’t have anything to do with the issue, I only see you defeated :P

Yes, there are other threads about this issue:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Mesmer-Phantasmal-Warden-Bugged/

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/20-Mesmer-s-Bugged-Skills-and-Counting/

Try to see if cleaning cache can help, since it sounds like some corrupted file. Follow the steps on this post to do so: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Trading-Post-remains-blank/3679089

Not sure if it’s related to the issue of this thread but I thought about mention it:

Mark-Katzbach-9084:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue in which assault knights would reset health when targeting players at the edge of their engagement radius.

Mark-Katzbach-9084:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue in which the Attunement Pools were not appearing correctly after an assault knight was killed.

Yes, it’s sad to read the latest patch notes and only see fixes for Tequatl and Great Wurm… Not surprised actually as they have mentioned once that they wouldn’t release big fixes until the current Living Story is finished.

UnknownFreak.2805:

To repair client, copy the exe, and right click, select preferences, and add -repair in the end of the target
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -repair

Even though it was solved I wanted to point up a mistake here. You don’t have to copy the “exe” but the shortcut for it (usually “lnk”). And then in the shortcut properties you add “-repair” to the path in the Target field. Or you can try that via command prompt or through Run command, as others have mentioned here.

Weird, I can’t recall having to type things when confirming deletion of items. Could you take a screenshoot of it showing the delete button dimmed? Then we could have a better view of the issue.

Curiously… early today I was walking around Kessex Hills and approached a place where offshot occurs although event wasn’t up. I was seeking for kraits for completing and achievement and then, after killing another mob, an Elite approached. I was alone there and there wasn’t much mobs around me. Then I spawned a Phantasmal Warden and evaded back. The Elite turned to the warden and both began to fight., the Elite didn’t noted me for the whole time that Warden was in cooldown. Secs later I spawned another Warden and so after I used Temporal Curtain to pull the elite, then they would move and trigger their attack again. It ended that I had 3 wardens spawned and they all kept fighting with the Elite while I watched from distance. So soon the cooldown was over I would spawn another and use TC to give “a little bump”. At the end, we killed the Elite when I give a last hit. lol

I know it may be broken for some situations and I even have experienced fails with it myself. But I just thought it would be funny to tell this, hehe.

Faux.1937:

Fast question.

Why is it that open pve content I dont skill lag in zergs (even at low frame rates) but then in PvP solo tournaments I Always have 1sec skill lag no matter what?

Usually, the main cause for lag is due the number of simultaneous connections happening (number of players at the same place). The game must send/receive updates for all players involved in a scene and if one of them have some delay it can cause some lag to all others involved. That’s why you tend to experience more lag in crowded areas than empty areas, even if the place’s geometry is the simplest one. More players in an area, more connections server must deal with and more processing is involved.

In your case, maybe this only one in solo PvP is causing more delay to the server than a lot of zergs in a PvE area would do.

Try the suggestion here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Trading-Post-remains-blank/3679089 usually it works for me when TP is blank.

I have just tried it on Seafarer’s Rest and it seemed to work fine (event even failed though). A note though: at a point it said Skritt alive: 1 but minimap showed 3 orange shield, what meant that there was 3 skritt alive but event seemed to fail because they all died)

Khisanth.2948:

They did mention in the patch notes. They just weren’t very specific.

For players who attain the highest tier, there’s a chance for ascended materials and rewards from previous Living World releases.

Dragon Coffers fall under “rewards from previous Living World releases”.

Oh true. I read that when the release came out but I just forgot it when I saw this thread, lol

Try to do as described here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Trading-Post-remains-blank/3679089 usually it works for me.

Oh yes, I remember that issue. I think I even took a screenshot too some time ago but I forgot to report it (or I did it in game). Also, the art showed there isn’t for The Battle of Claw Island, it’s the art for Lion’s Arch (Under Attack) loading screen, lol

Try to do as described here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Trading-Post-remains-blank/3679089 usually it works for me.

Yes, it doesn’t make much sense indeed and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or not. Wiki is based on what players have found and probably others didn’t see it as a bug and then they documented it as one of its drops.

Actually, the wiki says it may drop from that bag: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ultimate_Citizen%27s_Rescue_Bag

Yes, I saw it happening several times but I couldn’t realize when so I could repeated and reproduce it. But I have seen it happening, it was 10 slots per row and 7 rows height after closing and then 3 per row with 3 or 4 rows height and in the middle of my screen when reopened. I believe it would happen if inventory is clipped off screen partially when you close it.
