Guild Wars 2

It really can’t be helped in a faction vs faction game. Back when I was playing Aion, this happened all the time too.

Belzebu.3912:

~12 runs per hour

It’s 15 runs per 30 minute instance. Therefore 30 runs per hour. Therefore it takes me only 10 hours to get 300 runs a day.

I also sometimes get empty bugged instances and I can get up to 19 per 30 minutes (got 20 twice but it requires 100% concentration since I cannot waste a single second, therefore I usually settle with 18 in empty instances).

zeus.9634:

ah let him show of his bags, why else should he have done all this wintersday jp botting when he cant show off all the stuff and achievements he made afterwards
if its true, sad kid but hey, each to his own.

Yep I needed to show off my 28 days of lifeless farming. 300 completions a day during your year-end holidays isn’t impossible :P

Azure Prower.8701:

The main hand always takes precedence.

Swap to Pistol/Dagger. Your number 3 skill will be shooting the HOPE effect and have HOPE foot steps.

Pistol/Dagger sure is a useful build!

It was a problem in one of my guilds. We didn’t have enough people to do a Bounty with 3 targets, because 2 people were from EU. They were eager to help so I suggested that they do the 2nd target and try to kill it with 2 of them, but in the end they couldn’t.

Teq is a stingy dragon. I did Triple Trouble and got the Ascended armor chest on my first run.

When I was new I was wondering why there were so many horse sounds.

Going to have fun with my index finger.

Norns celebrate Wintersday all year round anyway.

It could work, given that the Dwarves’ homeland is really close to the Crystal Desert. Maybe they will be forced out of the depths and will help the ground-level races battle both dragons.

I just want to see Crystal Desert and Woodlands Cascade, that’s all.

I want the entire world explorable first (including Cantha) before we move onto Guild Wars 3.

It’s still year-end holidays for me. So I’ve been farming Winter Wonderland 12 hours a day, 3000 boxes a day. Used to make me 300g per day but now with falling prices, 200g.

I think I’ve farmed up a total of 6k gold already.

Plus my 30 stacks of Bags of Festive Materials, which should be worth around 1k gold.

From Singapore. Suddenly just got dced 5 minutes ago and can’t login.

Thanks everyone for your input

I decided to go Rampager since I’m a Thief and Power is an important factor in DPS too.

Lag just began about 30 minutes ago. Playing from Singapore, had 220 normal ping from 4am-2pm (server time / UTC) and now (2.30pm UTC) it became 300-800 all of a sudden.

WTFast has also withdrawn free usage of their service, which will take effect in 14 days… so I seriously hopes this issue gets fixed by then…

For me, I think doing it as a Thief is the easiest, because of how you can use your 20 second stealth and channel the Commune hero points without needing to fight the veterans around (in Orr, I did that with 20 mobs standing around, didn’t need to wait for an event to clear the area). But I would still advise you to do it on whichever character you play most, since you’ll be needing to see all the waypoints on that character.

I did the maps from left to right (leaving Orr for last). Cleared all of Kryta, then Shiverpeaks, then Ascalon, since it was easier for me to keep track of world completion. Then I completed Orr before doing my final personal story missions there.

I can’t seem to find a backpack with Sinister or Viper stats. What’s the next best?

Thank you all for your replies

Just to clear some stuffs, I already have my full ascended zerker; just wanted to get a condi set so I’d have a better time looking for raids. Never used condi build before so I was rather clueless about how it worked.

Ah, I just only realized how condi thief works. It’s by spamming Death Blossom right? Since it deals 3 ticks of 10 seconds bleed. I hardly used that skill in my zerker build since cloak/backstab was the better choice in PvE with zerker. If so, Rune of the Krait looks really good, since it increases bleeding duration by so much and even provides additional bleeding when I use my elite skill.

Runes (Armor):
Currently I’m deciding on Nightmare, Thorns and Orr. All seem pretty good as they boost Poison duration which seems to be the main source of condi damage for Thieves (if I’m not wrong).

Sigil (Weapon):
Sigil of Bursting and Sigil of Malice?

Basically, what I hope is for such a function to move an item in your inventory in between slots, so that it auto sorts as shown. Makes it so much easier to move stuffs to the top of the inventory.

Loli Ruri.8307:

I wish WTFast worked right now. Sigh. “Getting Unexpected login server error. Please try logging in again in a few minutes.”

Anyways if WTFast is working for you, then it must mean that some server just before Anet is being a kittenface, and somebody needs to pour water. :U You can see it in the traceroute you posted.

That’s the big problem right now for me. I’m getting up to 2000 ping right now and I can’t do anything about it.

And WTFast works when I can use it, which is why it has to be a routing problem.

Ever since Aussies said their ping have been fixed, my ping skyrocketed instead. I used to have a stable 220 ping. But now, everyday at all hours, I’ll get 300-800 ping. Only when I use WTFast I can fix it back to 200, but when I play without WTFast now I get the said ping. I used to be able to play without any ping reducer programs at the stable 200 ping. Did something broke during the fix for Australia pings? I don’t want to rely on WTFast because their service often goes down.

Sicarius.4639:

Due to the negative response around water combat and the removal of the PvP map with it, I don’t foresee Anet taking the risk of an expansion around the Deep Sea Dragon after the way HoT was received (mixed at best).

Based on my idea, it’ll be above water instead of underwater.

Woodlands Cascades

To fight the Centaurs, you need to run as fast as them. Therefore, you have to catch a mount in the forests and ride them! This will be a Woodlands Cascade exclusive ability (to ride mounts), similar to how Gliding is in Heart of Thorns.

At the north-west of Woodlands Cascade, maybe we could even have a map for fishing in the Janthir Bay.

Deep Sea Dragon

The wiki says that the Deep Sea Dragon is possibly located somewhere in the Unending Ocean (south-west of world). Therefore, to get to him, we need to travel to the Ring of Fire. From the port south of Rata Sum, we’ll be able to deploy boats and row all the way to the Ring of Fire! For large events, maybe we could even have a battleship helmed by a Commander, where we can use sniper rifles or cannons from it to shoot enemies from!

Crystal Desert

From the egg in Tarir, Glint’s offspring is born and gives you mystical powers of the dragons, to let you summon wings to fly in the Crystal Desert. You’ll be able to avoid the heavily corrupted purple ground by flying while battling Kralkatorrik!

Far Shiverpeaks

To ascend the extremely steep mountains in the Far Shiverpeaks, you’ll use a Grapple Gun to scale them! Something like Batman.

When I do a Cloak and Dagger then Backstab, I manage to do 10k-12k damage.
However, when I do a regular Backstab, it only deals 3k damage.

Why is this so? Backstab doesn’t mention anything about extra damage when stealthed. I also don’t have Hidden Killer trait (100% crit when stealthed) socketed.

EDIT: I think I misunderstood the skill. The “Stealth Attack” part in the description means it activates when stealthed. I always thought it activated every time I attacked from behind. Sorry for the thread.

Might be related to my issue I had last time https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Weird-Freeze-Teleport-Bug-after-Patch

When I first played the game, I stared at the world map, so excited at how big it would be. I thought I could explore the entire world, even all the way to Blood Legion Homelands.

What caught my eye most were Crystal Desert and Woodland Cascades. I explored towards Fields of Ruins, until I got disappointed when I realized Crystal Desert was not in the game. Same for Woodland Cascades when I went to Harathi Hinterlands.

I wasn’t particularly interested in Magus Falls, even though the maps in there were quite interesting.

If you spawn him at night, he will spawn, but there will be no event triggered. Killing him does not spawn a chest, does not give event reward chest nor the mastery point.

If you spawn him at daytime, when Itzel Outpost is still infested with Mordrem, he will not spawn, but the event will still be triggered. You can see the HP bar in the event box top-right, but he is nowhere to be found.

If you spawn him at daytime when Itzel Outpost has been cleared, he will spawn normally, and an event will be triggered. Killing him now will grant you the chest, event reward chest and mastery point.

Dana windfelt.8160:

Same; we killed Mayatl the Fierce but no chest spawned and there was no event bobble. Second time, event bobble showed up but no boss.

It looks like we found something common. When my party member tried to summon him, Itzel Outpost was also not yet cleared. And the same thing happened: there was an event but he didn’t spawn and is nowhere to be found.

When I summoned him at night, he spawned, but it was not marked as an event, and killing him did not give me any reward chest at all.

Maybe someone can try summoning him at day when Itzel Outpost is up and running?

EDIT: Yes it seems to have worked. I summoned him when Itzel Outpost has been cleared of Mordrem, at daytime, and he spawned and an event triggered. Killing him rewarded me with the chest and mastery point.

I read in 2013 threads and they say they do not. I checked the wiki history page from 2013 and it states it there, but that line has since been removed. Does that mean it has been “fixed” and stacks now?

Some players reported that they did not receive the reward when they obtained the world completion achievement. For some, revisiting the Chantry of Secrets resolved the issue. A few were able to work around the issue by revisiting every map on the required list. Another fix is to go through the Asura gate in Lions Arch to Black Citadel. If you encounter this issue and are not able to fix it on your own, you will have to contact ArenaNet support.

From https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Map_completion
Not sure if it helps.

Every time I try to jump from this rock to the top of the flower, the game freezes for a couple of seconds, then teleports me to around a certain area.

It doesn’t only happen to this place. I kept lagging elsewhere in Auric Basin too and one time it also teleported me somewhere near there.

I don’t remember game freezes teleporting me before the patch (though I did lag/freeze quite a lot after HoT).

Update: Restarted my game and it doesn’t happen anymore. But few others also said they have experienced similar: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3tfq23/i_think_i_found_a_weird_bug/

I’ve been trying this for the past few days and this is just totally ridiculous. After so many tries the most I could get was up to 28 (I could most definitely get 30 if I tried more). But 40 is just way too ridiculously insane; I’d get sick of the entire game before I achieve that. Anet could fix this challenge by lowering Gold to 30. While players who have already achieved Gold might complain, this can easily be gotten around by leaving no cap for the score, allowing players to go as high as they can (instead of ranking by time completion), so that those players can still be up there in the leaderboards.

A “challenge” should be difficult but at least obtainable.

Instead of an annoying inactivity timer which penalizes players heavily (for example, you could be fighting the wyvern in the Canopy and die in the middle of lots of fire, where no one can possibly res you, and you don’t get any rewards because it times out), make it like this:

-There will be no inactivity timer
-When you participate in a main event, you will get a specific “Tracked” buff. For example, “Pact Encampment Tracked Buff”.
-You can only obtain rewards from the outpost’s event when you have its buff.
-If you participate in another outpost’s event, the new outpost’s buff will replace the old outpost’s buff. For example, if you participate in Jaka Itzel events while you already have Pact Encampment buff, the Jaka Itzel Tracked Buff will replace the Pact Encampment Tracked buff, and you don’t get rewards from the Pact Encampment event anymore.
-The buff expires once you receive the event reward.

-Side events like salvaging parts from wreckages do not count for this, so players can freely contribute to them without having to spend an eternity to complete them solo just for the small reward.

This allows players to participate in events freely without being heavily stressed out.

Happened 3 times in a row. Immediately after I type in “sinister pearl” in the Trading Post, my client crashes. I tried other stuffs like just “sinister” and it worked fine.

I’ve sent in 3 crash reports already, hopefully it can be traced by my account name.

With the new +7 Versatile Simple Infusion (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Versatile_Simple_Infusion_%28Masterwork%29), and assuming dual-wield, I’ll have 14 gears to slot those in, and that will give 98 Agony Resistance already.

Could we at least have a function to reconnect to the same map if a crash was detected? I’m really sick of crashing at Vinewrath everyday. Wasted 3 Vinewraths today because of 3 crashes.

(I know you can party up, but am I supposed to join a party for every event I do?)

It seems to be fixed now.

Same, I just submitted a ticket thinking my account was bugged.

None of the LFG listings in Open World update.
http://i.imgur.com/l3S6nFG.jpg

I can’t join any parties. When I do, all buttons gray out and I don’t join a party. Restarting doesn’t help.

Silverwastes is still really good, if not better. Now Piles of Silky Sand don’t give you junk anymore, but a crafting mat which is worth 20 silvers each, at a very high chance.

Seriously, this has been going on too long without getting fixed. I’m so sick of standing at the merchant NPC in Camp Resolve when refilling used salvage kits when I’m opening bags and salvaging stuffs, because all I get is this:

If Mordremoth could attack the Mother Tree in the Grove, it can attack anywhere.
If Mordremoth could attack the Mother Tree in the Grove, it can attack anywhere.
If Mordremoth could attack the Mother Tree in the Grove, it can attack anywhere.

Mod Edit: Removed excess lines for spamming.

They don’t have a “real” achievement for it this year (I don’t know if they had last year or before). There is a Daily for it though, you got to wait for it to be randomed.

Though I would like a permanent achievement for it, since it was one of the hardest JP I ever done.

Oh… maybe that’s why I didn’t receive anything either. I have 100% map completion and have all 3 zones completed ages ago, but I received nothing at all.

Did someone drink too much Omnomberries?

rainetteverte.2891:

Client crashing in populous areas – world bosses, Mad King, LA bank, HoT events etc.

Since HoT has launched, the client (Windows 10 64-bit) has been crashing with almost certainty at the Karka Queen and Teq world bosses. It has also crashed at Mad King Says, LA bank, HoT events etc., anywhere there seems to be around 20(?) people or more close to me.

Sometimes it crashes and I’ve been able to send a report, sometimes it freezes and I have to kill the process, and sometimes the audio stops working first before freezing a minute or two later.

Happens to me like 1-2 times a day (yes… DAILY) in Silverwastes. Had happened twice during Vinewrath (and screwed me out of the reward) and countless times during chest trains.

Galvesin.2169:

Above poster talks about gradients in tp, I have the same but different colors. Happens a good bit.

That was exactly what happened to me once (few days before HoT). I closed the TP and opened it again and client crashed.

Living World Season 2: Tangled Paths: Into the Labyrinth

I’m not sure if it might happen in the story version because it didn’t, but when I tried doing it again for achievements, at the very end, right after Caithe steals the egg, it teleports me very near the southeast wall after the cutscene. Now, the problem is that there is a freaking invisible wall right there, and I get stucked at the wall, watching the timer for the 20-min achievement tick down while I can’t do a thing.

I had to redo the instance and guess what, it happened AGAIN. This time I stood in the MIDDLE of the room before the cutscene, but it teleported me back right after the cutscene to the same spot. Though luckily I managed to jump out to higher ground somehow and got to the door, where I could press F to Interact with it to teleport me back into the room.

Also additional bug: The minimap does not show the underground area anymore after HoT update. In Dulfy’s video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUOJ4JLDMWM) you can clearly see the underground area. It’s a pain to navigate without a map.

I attached a picture to illustrate my issues.
