Still bugged today in all listed events!!
Same issue here—-only fix was to logout and log back in to restore mobility. Complete the heart by killing foes—don’t even try the potion approach
Just got my 2nd Birthday “gift” for my 2nd character. In both cases, I was “awarded” with an “experience scroll” that automatically (when used) raises my character to L-20!!!
Now, after 2 YEARS of play———————I would expect my character to be well BEYOND L-20 in experience!! So, why bother? I would normally expect that “birthday gifts” would be specific to the character (class, level, race, gender)——-and not some odd collection of unusable “junk” (although if one has enough characters—even junk may be useful). Can this area be reviewed for utility and made less of a joke?? After all, it’s given to the character———————not the account.
Same here for past 2 days————seems to “lose connection to server” about every 15 mins (or so). I’m able to reconnect immediately (no lag) but this is TRULY annoying!!
I’m running an ele and couldn’t figure how what the important things were in the final boss encounter—————attack the boss?? and let the minions alone? or kill the minions then concentrate on the boss?? Every time I tried AoE’ing the boss, it just “miraculously” immediately moved to another site, BEFORE my AoE action commenced—————-so I dropped my spells on air!!
The seed needs an “upgraded” clay pot————-which requires clay plus a bunch of other ingredients that you REALLY have to want to fight for!!
If only Snuffy was as capable as Taimi!! Her reliance on this golem leaves me scratching my head————it has about as much capability as a bag of mud!! Have you tried it in “Defense” mode?? WHAT a gzzork!!
What I found, actually “doing” this episode (as an Ely) was that it seemed EXTREMELY “dis-balanced”. In the Iron Marches, for example, I kept going to the “green stars” to progress the episode, only to discover——————————I’D ALREADY DONE THIS!!! Problem was, I’d just arrived for the first time!!! At other points (Rytlocks’s Final Battle for example) the entire episode was just boring and contrived—————-kill the mender, AoE Balthazar, kill the next mender, rinse, repeat—————-until the hammer wielder got as tired as I did!! Other sections seem impossible (solo) ie: trap #12 in the collection section. Go ahead, activate the Veteran Mordrem———it’s faster than you, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, and it’s looks are killer!!! One pat and you’re reviving yourself!!! And, to top it all off—————-Snuffy is about as useful as a bag of mud and spends more time commiserating with the Mordrem than he does “defending”!! (either himself OR you!!!)
So call this a “work in process”———————————unfortunately, this process is going to require a LOT of work!!!
Anyway, I “tried” to exit the story to restart from the beginning—————-and guess what? THAT piece of the puzzle doesn’t work either!!! (The “quit” button keeps asking “what?”
Well, the Champion (moron) showed up 2x while I waited for the show to begin—the first time was a ROYAL kitten————-no one could figure out what it was doing or when————2nd time around we just AoE’d to death——no problem! Then I guess it suddenly sickened and died————gave up and went home——————begged for allies??———wondered where the help went (ya just can’t get good ones these days)——————cuz it been back no more, no more! As far as the story is concerned, blank pages do not a story make!
Thanks— boy I REALLY needed to know my babble was TRULY worthless!!!!
seriously———-I have REALLY got to find that ramp!!! But you all are appreciated!
Wrong, I’m an ele, with AoE skills —-—-and can’t get close enough to attack without finding a “bomb” at my feet and me back down on the ground. Can’t avoid, can’t evade, can’t get close enough to fight——————-can’t even use entwining vines- cuz he just moves away.
I’ve tried this now 3x——-in aall of them, I’ve gotten to the end point,( fairly easily), with aerin on top of the mesa——-and all of us at the bottom-“fighting?” the unkillable vines———and me watching the NPC’s with their thumbs stuck firmly where they shouldn’t be-and wondering just HOW one even gets to START to damage this Sylvari madman. Sure, you can grab the aspects (when they appear) but just reaching his level means that you’re dead-or just shoved off to become lunch. 1-on-1 with this Sylvari is a NON-STARTER————-but the NPC’s won’t/don’t/can’t seem to follow you up the to the “main” fight.
Can Anyone explain why our characters, exploring Queensdale, should find themselves actively assisting traitors to Queen Jennah? If you don’t believe this, take a look at the dialog offered by Fisherman Will for his Renown Heart!! My characters (all of them) have no interest in “aiding and abetting” those despicable assailants of the Seraph—————-regardless of the “reward”!!! (And believe me, the “junk” that Will offers is an insult to all would be traitors!!
I’m sure this has been brought up a bunch of time. I don’t think I’ve posted yet in this thread, but I started another thread on the topic and posted in a different thread, so, obviously, many people are having an issue.
We can not salvage our WvW or Karma gear. This is a big issue because transmutation stones are gone and we have no way of getting the expensive runes and sigils out of our gear to consolidate or make a new set with all the rune / sigil changes. On top of that, it makes buying a new set of WvW or karma gear obsolete as if we socket any of that gear, we will have no way of retrieving said runes / sigils.
Many people, like myself, have obtained most of their gear through karma and WvW. Fore example, most players had a stacking sigil weapon which we would swap out once we obtained 25 stacks. Now, we can’t do that, so if we want to utilize stacking sigils, we need to combine them into the extra slot now available. But, we can’t salvage one weapon to get out a rune, so our only course is to buy 2 new runes AND new weapons in fear of this never getting fixed. That’s ridiculous. Another example: my ele. Since boon duration has been nerfed, my water/monk/traveler is useless. So, I made some new runes, cost me about 50G. I sure as hell am not going to put those into the same armor for fear I won’t get them back. I’m not going to replace the traveller, they’re expensive. So, I also have to spend about 12 G making a new set of armor. That’s about as far as I want to go with new stuff.
I have 10 characters with multiple sets of armor and weapons. I’m not the only one in this situation, especially when it comes to the weapons.
I assume this is just a huge over-site. Please fix this ASAP.
The “Upgrade extractor” is still available in the Gem Store (TP). Better than the stones because it leaves the item and upgrade intact (but separate). Or is that just an oversight on ANET’s part?
Ok, to be clear:
1) I now have to lug around (or waste storage space) any/all pieces of equipment that I “might” want to use- (and pay for the storage space)
OR
2) I can use the wardrobe to change the “skin” of my existing gear (without updating the stats for that gear)-(and pay for the change)
OR
3) I can destroy my existing gear and “hope” that my Superior Rune/Sigil is salvaged so I can add it to the "new item-(and pay for the Salvage Kit——-and hope I have the right one)
OR
4) I can have this (or another) character recreate the Superior Rune/Sigil for me——(after, of course, buying the needed ingredients from the TP)
Sounds just like a Lite Beer commercial (More cost, Less taste!)
consider me just another “nattering nabob of negativity” if you will!
I did the same, AND completed the dailies as well———but I have NO credit showing on the monthly side for any prior completion. I’ve got to repeat the dailies and complete (3) others. And the dailies also show (0) completions, and NO carryover for anything done prior to the 4/15 update.
Prior to 4/15, Daily Achievements were running the “same old, same old” cycle, while the Monthly was “supposed” to be reduced to (2) instead of (4)————correct? But the login screen was still showing Monthly Achievements needing (4) for completion.
After the mega-update on 4/15, I have NO idea what the Daily Achievement schedule, quantity, or type is supposed to be—————-and the monthly seems to now have reverted to needing (4) to complete————but NONE of the achievements completed prior to the 15th seems to have carried forward.
Can someone (anyone) provide us with some clarity on this?? (If there be such a thing, that is!!)
No place I’ve looked (in the Wiki or on the Forums) seems to have any data on these changes (if there really are any).
No.
Terrible idea. Repair canisters and revive orbs are gem store only, not everyone can afford to buy gems.
Your suggestions don’t add value, only tedium. Few players want the game’s difficulty increased, especially with the paltry rewards we get as is. Armour and weapons lose value as soon as they’re equipped (binding), your suggestion would only be viable if gear could be sold on the TP even after use.
Also, the very best items in game are already crafted in a sense (the Mystic Forge is a crafting tool, and in many cases a lot simpler than the 8 disciplines).
What I would like to see are better looking crafted weapons (Why are all races making Quaggan themed weapons by default?), and a few more options for craftable armour.
Ok, but where’s the risk/reward balance currently in GW2? Whatever we do, gamewise, has little detrimental effect on the character. Yes, it’s a game—ie: NOT REAL——-but it still should require some generic thought process — beyond "look-——target———-kill——-loot"—————to really retain player interest. Just look at the insipid “gatherer” daily—————gee—————-go to ANY home base———-use pick————-get 18 of needed 20———————don’t even break a sweat. Good reward———-no risk!!—————————BOOOORING!! —-————-right?
Wow, you haven’t thought this through at all, have you?
Let me paraphrase your suggestion: You spend hundreds, sometimes even thousands of hours in the game to get this one sweet legendary you always wanted. Then, on your merry way to your next personal story instance, some pirate schmuck knocks you on your kitten . Nobody’s around to revive you, and you didn’t spend a bunch of money on gems to buy revive orbs. So you port, and poof, your precious legendary is gone. Months of work down the drain. Enjoy farming for a replacement.
Does that sound like something you’d want? Because some RNG says so?
I don’t think anyone would want that. And even if this kind of masochism is your thing, please refer to the usual rule of thumb in this case: Just because YOU like getting spanked doesn’t mean I do.(Boy, I really do hope you’re just trolling…)
No, not trolling—————-and any chance of losing a weapon would be on the order of .001%. But, if you’re not willing to invest in your (character) own safety, there should? be a cost for your carelessness—————-shouldn’t there?? After all, the critter/foe DID you, didn’kitten And, you WERE carrying the “shiny”, weren’t you?? And, you didn’t think to bring a backup with you, did you??
New ability added:
Marshal Trahearne: “Racial skill. You are permanently British. Any time one of your allies finishes an event, you get credit for completing it instead. Whenever a boon is applied to you, you steal all boons, food effects, and utility effects from all party members.”
Taken from the wiki
And, in return, they get Freedom of the seize
With the introduction of the April 15 update and the new model for armor repairs coming, what about some additional changes such as:
a) While damaged armor can be repaired, broken armor must be replaced
b) Good armor (w/upscale stats) can only be crafted—drops/chests can only provide upscale runes/sigils on so-so armor/weapons.
c) When a character is defeated and returns to a waypoint as a result, there is a chance (very small) of losing one or more active weapons.
d) Weapon drops/chest finds should not be better (by level) than crafted weapons (rare, exotic, unique armor/weapons should only be available via crafting. High-grade Sigils/Runes can be looted/found.
These suggestions may make the crafting skills more valuable to a player, and make the use of repair canisters and revival orbs even more useful,
At present, in PvE at least, I can find much better armor in the field than I can craft for my L-x character. I may look like a bum, but I’m warm, dry and better protected (and armed) than my well-tailored contemporaries.
Reading this reminded me about that guy who posted about the renown heart ‘Help the people of Ebonhawke’ in Fields of Ruin. They summed it up as something like, “I was having fun doing map completion, then I get to this one heart and it says I’m supposed to go into protestors houses, drag them out into the street, and kill them.”
The wiki for this heart even says “Knock on suspicious doors and kill Separatists when they spawn”
But, be careful NOT to get caught by the Lionguard while doing it—————they’re DEATH on voyeurs!!!
Trahearne————with the plaque—————————ROOT-ing for you!!!
BTW—————I still think (occasionally) that this ending was even lamer than Braham and whats-her-name———-oh, yeah, Tami—————put together. I begin to suspect—————-that this was all a nefarious plot by the undead.————-After all, even tho they WERE just “hanging around”——all of OUR ships were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much nicer than the undead could muster———-they just let jealousy get in the way of intelligent actions—————just think what they could have accomplished with our REAL ships———-instead of the rust junks they had!!!
I’ll have you know—we Sylvari are a HIGHLY civilized race. If you intend to attack OUR grove, we insist you use ONLY the correct salad fork while doing so!! And please remember, Red wine is SOOOOOO gauche with greens.
ps: the Tengu have already tried a-salt-ing us——————and now they are to be known as the Ninegu! (Pass the pepper please).
I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop——————after all, read the backside of the Spinal Blade Pack Blueprints——————and wonder “what’s goin’ on”?
“Caithe——————someday you’ll see——————-Tyria needs me.” -Scarlet
“Yes, doctor, we’ve cured another disease————————-now to find the cure FOR the cure!”
They ARE a living world achievement———-right?? So, just where are they?? Trying to play an itinerant wander in the “Wilds of Kryta” just waiting for the natives to ask me to lunch—————where, no doubt, I’ll be the centerpiece of the buffet——————is NOT my idea of “fun”. And, being “forced” to do nothing but “blunder into” one of these portals is also VERY unappealing!!!
So, how is one to actually gain this achievement??
The only purpose of the dailies is for you to login daily and do stuff. The waypoint costs of you going to the home instance to harvest these nodes are good enough for ArenaNet as it is a small gold sink.
What waypoint cost?? I just leave a character in a home area, next to the instance, enter it, take the goodies, leave and add them to my bank. No brain, no pain, no expense!. And, since I’m in a home area, NO waypoint cost at all!!
Why is the cost for Tier 3 Cultural Armor so high?? By the time a character reaches the level where this armor is “useable” and “useful”, that character (or it’s other minions) is already at a level where armor with better stats, higher rarity, and better defense is available at less than a TENTH of the cost of this kitten!!! The Tier 1 and 2 items are at least reasonable for the cost involved and are (usually) better than anything else obtainable————FOR THE LEVEL they are designed for. Yes, getting the achievement is nice, but NOT at ~750 gold——————NO achievement is worth THAT expense!!!
Can we start to see some “reality” in costing?
Here’s my issue: All of my characters are L400 crafters and all are maxed out for gaining crafting points by working with raw mats, the qtys and cost to create gems, jewels, sigils, runes at this level far exceeds the value of the created item, and there just aren’t enough items to discover to provide the needed boost to L450+.
Up to L400 a crafter can gain xp by working with raw mats and creating the needed sigils, gems, jewels, etc needed to discover and created arms/armor. But beyond L400, this model disappears and now becomes “yer on yer own, bud————goooood luck!”
Maybe this area needs a quick “looksee” and update?
Since one of the daily achievements is “daily gatherer”, why are we cheapening this achievement? Shouldn’t this require some exploration to gather the “goodies”? The concept is fine for amassing the raw materials needed, but how about removing these nodes (in the home instance) from counting toward the daily achievement? Shouldn’t we have to work (at least a little bit) for each achievement? I can trip over 5 items in the wild——-20 takes a little time to search out.
Same here since last night
I’ve been having multiple, random crashes since last night.—-Can get back in quick, but lag and crash soon follows. I know they had a “server crash” issue a couple of days ago, and did an “update” to fix??———but apparently——————-IT’S BAAAACK!
It seems that for jp’s, SIZE is the issue!! (The bigger you are, the harder you fall (and the quicker)!!
Try as I might, I cannot find ANY indication of the “recipe” needed to create ANY “etched” weapon in the Mystic Forge. I’m looking to start creating some “corrupt” weapons———each of which requires an “etched” version to start. Waiting for drops is cumbersome, tedious and boring———-but there seems to be NOTHING posted related to “Mystic Forging” these items!! Any help PLEASE!!!
I note that to date, IF a character elects to MAX a single attribute, that character is unable to effectively utilize more than 1 other of their available attributes. Has any consideration been given to increasing (for L80 characters ONLY) the number of available attribute points (say to 100)?? I agree that making the increase an “easy” effort is counterproductive, but a combination of skill points, “leveling”, and Gold, might make the “option” to increase an expensive (but viable) one.
What sound effects??? They no longer (randomly, btw) exist———ESPECIALLY underwater!!——-where EVERYTHING, including the MUZAK, becomes MIME-blowingly quiet!!
Same here, muzak is fine!! All other audio is either sporadic or non-existant.
How about leaving it as a “duty-free” International Trade Zone?? (Canthan pirates would probably be estatic over that!!)
Since the GW2 coding already includes a way of identifying which dungeon/metaevent/map section(s) have been completed (and which are still “incomplete”), it would seem that it is entirely possible to “tunnel down” in the achievements panel to discover just what is “missing” from specific achievements. Since the data exists, it can be put to use (or should be able to be used)
Ok, so I’m trying to get the “explorer” title, which requires all of the vistas, PoI’s, and Skill challenges in WvW (Eternal Battlegrounds). Question is—————————how?? since everytime I try, I find myself as member of “Red Team” and cannot access the requisite points. ANY suggestions are desired.
I’ve done 9 separate events and got credit for 8——————because (1) FAILED————even though you get a “reward” for all events entered, you don’t get credit for any that failed (for the achievement)
‘The Quiet Skies’ , maybe? You know, like a ‘calm before the storm’ type of thing.
Where you find and nap under 30 out of 60 Shady Trees located all across Tyria and receive a deluxe picnic hamper that spawns a blanket, picnic feast tray and ants.
No naps—————just a chance to pic nik out of the crowd of gnats, wasps, and various other unsavory in the basket!!
“Queen Scarlet”
Nah————it HAS to be Queen Sydney———the “fav” of ALL aethernuts!!
Uh———————so, what happened to the area?? We’ve already “been there, done that, got the t-shirt”——————-so why the disappearing act??? It does make a nice “vacation” spot for guildies and others to congregate without having to do anything!!
So what, it still don’t count for area completion, does it?? Of course, it might be nice to have to “find” the overland route to it, now wouldn’t it?
Talk about “Fitz and the Tantrums”!!! Quitch yer Buitch ing———-If you were involved enough to participate in the voting— you’ve got your reward.. If you weren’t— you got some gold———————————-woooopeeee!!!
I can hear it now…….
