Guild Wars 2

And I thought that all the mini games they talked about would be in at launch already… The only one that seemed to make it into the beta and the game is Keg Brawl.

My hight thoughness thief seems to have an aggro tag on her. Mobs swarm me, I run around and they do not leave me alone until I go into stealth. The other people can then fight the mob a bit away from me but as soon as I go out of stealth, the mobs tend to turn around and make a bee line for me. XD Some fights, all I can do is to just run around in a circle with the mobs at my heels while the others are attacking them. I do not even need to attack them myself for them to follow me like crazed fans.

I have even been in the situations where my friend can attack a mob, the mob completely ignore him and rush a few hundred yards away where I am standing, sorting out my inventory all oblivious until I get pounded into the ground. It is almost hilarious… Almost.

I remember when people in the beta started to get teleported to the Rata Sum prison whenever they managed to make it down along to walls to the bottom of the cube. XD

What happened to the poor Charr? Look at that face… Why are they trying to make her look cuddly puppy “cute” like a worgen female?
The interesting though, are the new looking hairstyle and horns.

No I don’t think it looks cute as a female worgen and I don’t know why would you want to compare it with that. The female worgens model was a rush job and not the original they were going for. Female worgens are horrendous in my opinion.

That is more or less what I meant; that it looks horrendous. Female worgen are “cute” chihuahua-like compared to the more fierce male. They do not even look to be the same race. This is the same to me. We have the fierce-looking male Charr, and the female Charr… Then there’s Rox. The kitty sub-species of Charr.

And when I say Cute here, I mean cute in the bad way. Not the “looking good cute”, more “baby doll this is making me sick-cute”

One thing to do is to talk to the refugees in the camp in Lion’s Arch and then set out to find their missing items. In return, they give you a short story on what happened to them.
Apart from that, it is just killing invaders for that achievement.

But all this is just like a teaser. More things will come when it all starts for real.

Just got uncontested on Piken Square EU.

And I was wondering yesterday how long it would take before speculations around the riding clothes start to pop up.

A sword belt and a compass, apparently. Don’t know if it is still possible to find the first two objects. Maybe it is random now which one you get.

I have never come across any recipe that unlocks on the whole account when one character learns it.

You do not even have to craft a complete item, as long as it has a green name. I just crafted a lot of plated dowels and I was done.

Ursan.7846:

Uh? Where did you hear they bolstered the servers?

Are you sure it’s just not just the players all flocking to the world events?

I think it is just people flocking around the world events, now when the loot has been changed. And when they are done, they probably guest to another server with the event up instead of sitting around in LA.

True. Same on Piken Square, I have discovered. Getting overflow in areas with dragon events instead, though. :P

ArenaNet are on the same note, it seems… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1ZCMWM_qUE

Huh, I recently got a message about a new build and that my game will restart in an hour… No, 55 minutes now.

Have you tried running out into a PvE zone and see if the reward triggers?

Those blue bags you have are invisible bags, which means the items in them will not show up in vendor tabs, TP or be affected by Deposit Collectable.

Worse. So much worse. I can see some people, then I take a few steps away and they become invisible. Highly annoying.

Why not just give us a slider! My computer can handle a lot of people on the screen and on a far distance, so let me have the option to see people around me. And if someone has a computer that cannot, give them the option with a slider to reduce the distance.

It is in the chat options. Cannot remember what it is is called. Might be System message or something similar. At least one of the options that is unchecked by default. Though it will also notify you of the loot you pick up and so forth, along with who logs in.

I have said it before and I will say it again; Give us a lot of different leather curiasses and such to go with all the pants we are not able to see! And make the medium armor pants more interesting, because I have seen them without the coat and they are usually just some simple looking pants. Understandable, since they are always hidden under those coats.
I like coats and all, but some variation would be wonderful.

Doesn’t it even say in the pop-up message when you add a sigil that the item will become soul bound?

The greatsword seems favoured when it comes to Legendaries. You can create two of them, which can be put together into a third.
My thought of this has always been that it would be neat if it was the same with all Legendaries. Two swords that could be combined to a third, two scepters combined to a third, shields, foci etc.

There is a bug that has been around for quite some time now, where if you run while interacting with an object to pick up, your character sometimes just keeps running forward for a second or two before you regain control.
It is really annoying in the Cliffside fractal when you try to pick up the hammer and your characters proceeds to run off the edge of the platform.

Again it seems that people are able to post buy orders for under the vendor price. Since after the patch, thick leather squares were suddenly up for 1c a piece.

This feels quite awkward to ask, since I know how to reinstall things… But GW2 made me a bit confused.

My loading times have become quite bad and after searching around, I found that people say you should reinstall the game. But how? I looked through Programs and Features in my Control Panel, but GW2 is not there. I am guessing it is because I have had it since the first stress test, and back then you did not really run an installer for the game. You downloaded the files and then had to manually place them where you wanted them. In Programs, for example.
So, to uninstall the game and install it again, should I just delete the whole folder in My Programs and download the game+run the installer?

Can anyone list what Feb’s monthly tasks are? – I’m at work but curiosity has got the best of me

Doing dungeons
Doing events
Salvage stuff
Doing daily achievements.

I believe a lot of people in Europe should have 5 Laurels by now, or later tonight. Got mine in the middle of the night when the Daily reset, so I am just trying to keep myself from buying until I know for sure. XD Of course, I could just buy a box myself and find out, but I really do not want to waste the Laurels since they are not gained that quickly and if there is no new looking gear in the boxes, I have other things to save for.

I got excited when I first saw the gear boxes, because from the name, I hoped it would be like in GW1 where you have profession specific gear with their own unique look that no other profession could have.
Though now, I am in doubt and do not dare to spend my Laurels on a box, since I have seen talk about the boxes just containing weapons and armor class (light, medium, heavy) that your profession can use and no new skins at all.

Does anyone know what is really in the boxes?

It is the same with shields and long hair. The hair clips thorugh the shield when you move, hence why my ponytail warrior never had a shield. That clipping just irked me too much.

Aha! I noticed that my projectiles only have a 20% chance of creating a combo. Could by why it feels all random.

Getting combo sometimes and it feels all random. Shooting through field and it says combo and my character says combo too, but no credit. Then we can just kill things without seeing the combo, and get credit towards it. It is confusing.

Created 10 copper ingots, done.
Now we just have to figure out the combo. Me and my friend are throwing down fields and shooting through it without getting any credit towards it at all.

My Master Carver is set to 0, but I still have the title in my title list.

13 gig? Are you downloading the whole game? o_O To me, it seems to be around 1 gig if anything.

It is only around 10 am at Anet and a dev posted in another forum, saying it would be sometime before midnight https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Flame-Frost-launch-time/page/5#post1306024

I don’t know if it is a bug or if you are supposed to lie about that, but my character is not from the Priory. She’s from the Whispers. So either it is a mix-up, or she is just being sneaky lying agent from the Order. XD

Brutal Arts.6307:

Have you played a game where you can knock enemies off cliffs/edges for an instakill?

Fus-Ro-Dah?
Yes, though never in an MMO.

I can’t give a reply to the combat speed, but about Call speed buff not stacking with the Signet is because the maximum speed is 33%. So the horn just adds 7% to your speed and stops when you reach the maximum limit. The only thing that stacks, I think, is the duration if you get the speed boon from different sources.

If you have used Deposit Collectables and the minis were not in an invisible bag/safe box they should be in the Collectables tab in your bank.

CoF – Citadel of Flame
Fotm – Fractals of the Mists.

Exp sometimes means Experience points and sometimes it means Explorable mode for a dungeon.
For example; “200 exp” would mean “200 experience points”. While “HotW exp” would mean “Honor of the Waves explorable”.

Brisband Wildlands; The zone with over-sized textures and where your downscaled character has more problem fighting a normal mob than what it has soloing a veteran in Orr. (At least in my experience, the scaling has been so off that I have rage quit Brisband so many times before completing the zone)

It seems to still be a problem with AC explorable, that if Detha dies in the trap room, the event in Hall of Champions will not trigger. Tried rezoning, having mobs killing her and then we ressed her and so forth. Nothing.

I also want to add that players and NPCs do not load in until I am standing ontop of them, and turns invisible if I move a few steps away.

Piken Square (EU)

Been having lag and latency issues all day, mainly in the Ashford area. Every movement is “hacking” and things posted in chat takes a second or two to appear and skills do not go off until a few seconds after I pressed the key.
The network on my computer seems normal, since nothing else is going slow today and my FPS seems to be normal as well.

I have not gotten a rare from the dragon chests since… A way while back. I get blues and once in a blue moon I get a green or two. And other champion in the world rarely give me any loot. And if they do, it is mostly a white or a blue item. It just does not feel worth the time it takes to kill them.

Isn’t there already a sound? I turned my UI sound off in options just because I got tired of that little “ding” all the time someone whispered me.

I guess you can do that, but since I am a roleplayer and am in a lot of RPs, I do not want to have the emotes turned off. It would just be nice to not have them spam the chat as soon as you come close to someone sitting down or dancing, for example. The game only has to tell me when someone is posting an emote if I am close enough to hear, not notify me about it when I enter an area where someone typed /dance half an hour ago just because he/she happen to still be dancing.

Please, remove (or make it an option to turn off) the feature in chat that shows ongoing emotes when you come close enough to the player doing something.
For example;
If a group of people are sitting down and you come within the radius, the whole chat will fill up with
-Name1- sits.
-Name2- sits.
-Name3- sits.
And so on. If you move away a bit and then back, the chat is going to get spammed again. If someone is already doing an emote, for example /sit, don’t have that message pop up whenever you come close to them. Only show it when they are actually posting the emote and if people enter the area later, I assume they can already see that some players are sitting down.

Twitter; “We’re looking into the problem right now” 6 mins ago

Twitter… Of course. Forgot to have that tab open. Well, good that they are aware of it now then.
