Guild Wars 2

Did someone say more bank tabs??

For the last 10 years my wife and I have been playing the Guild Wars franchise, and we have done everything together, and we are both very excited about being part of this beta, as we were the last ones, all the way back to the GW1 E3 beta.

But now, for the first time, due to the RNG of the Portal stone drop, only one of us can go into the new map, we have to leave the other behind, or not go at all.

Anet, next time you do something like this with the Portal Beta drop, remember that some of us plays this game with our partners.

As well as allowing the Portal stone to drop in the current areas, why not add a Karma vendor that sells a Portal to the Heart of Maguma for a LOT of karma, like 3 Million. This would remove massive amounts of karma from the game, and also reward “loyal” players, as most people who have that much karma have been playing for Guild Wars 2 for a long time.

And 127 for me please…

Can’t w.ait..

I need 114 gems for the outfit I want to buy and now for some reason the min. I am allowed to buy is 400.

Please change it back to the system that allowed me to buy 114 gems. If you want this new shiny skrit interface, not a problem , but please add the one that allowed me to buy 114 gems.

Thanks.

Just did the Triple headed Wurm (which will be the last time for a while now, as the timers have made it very difficult for me to do it) and I got no daily reward for the event. Not sure what else there is to say… Feels really annoying to get rewarded for doing events.

I think they still have some work to do, either with the patch or the patch notes, because they don’t seem to match.

I was in a party with 3 other people and they all killed the red knight (and got loot as soon as it died), and I was with the green knight team, and we didn’t managed to kill it within the time limit, so the event failed. I got no loot at all, even though I was part of the event and at least one of the bosses was killed, as per the patch notes:

Patch Notes: Fixed a bug that prevented players from receiving loot from the Assault Knights. A reward chest will now be awarded after all three Assault Knight events have finished, and will be given to the corresponding participants even if only one Assault Knight was defeated.

Same here. Mine has been like this for a couple of weeks now.

On 9/10 and I have tried to make the keys for my last part.
I tried in LA and Frostgorge sound. Both made keys but failed to register the achievement.

Another addition to the Scarlet Bug.

Server: Aurora Glade
Map: Timberline Falls
Through the map chat we discovered it was Blazeridge Steps.

How about adding a small patch to remove the “bugged” dailies from the list until they are fixed.

I would actually prefer one of the 2 week cycles that went through the game and fixed a lot of the minor bugs that still exist. To me that would be a very worthwhile patch.

Nice change. Thanks ANet

The game is fine in the mornings and most of the day time, but when it gets to the evening and the overflow/WvW Queues start, we get 2-3 skill lags followed by d/c an evening.

I have contacted support about this issue.

I didn’t get one either. Very strange.

Same problem on Aurora Glade. With both teams wanting our keep for the Sky Pirates JP Achievement, and 2 Dolyaks MIA (not spawning), I’m amazed we made it this far.

I now have 8 Dragon Bash achievements, with no Dragon ball ones, but the bar appears to still show that I need 10. I think there is a bug.

Aurora Glade (EU) is uncontested.

I have no had the guts to test this, I bought the rune set the other day, and now I am concerned about using them, as I have read reports that the 6th Bonus doesn’t work. Any updates?

Aurora Glade Server
Since the patch, some strange lag issues. Earlier today, skills not always activating when they say they are going too. This is similar lag to the meta events at times that happened last month.
Today’s other issue was that I seem to be unable to join parties,my party members say I am in the party, but it doesn’t show up for me.
Very strange lag issues.

That is my point, I would like to see the same change happen for the Monthly achievement, the same as they are doing for the daily. It would encourage me, for one, to explore WvWvW more instead of just going there to kill people.

One of the main reasons I don’t manage to do my monthly achievement is that I am not really that great in the WvWvW. I have heard there are ways that you can kill people at certain “camping spots”, but that isn’t my play style.

At the moment, even though I have a fast PC, at times the effects/players int he fight don’t render in time.

If you trying to encourage people into WvWvW, how about changing the achievement to being events instead of kills, or maybe expand the new 6 choice daily into the monthly and allow us to select which 4 we want to do.

My wife and I both received our chest early this morning.
Aurora Glade EU server.
Thanks ArenaNet. I hope everyone else that deserves one gets their chest too.

It would have been so much easier to have given a “loot mail” to all of your loyal players who had an active account before the Lost Shores event started. All this would have been sorted by now, and everyone would have loved ANet again. There would be none of I didn’t get a chest lark and everyone would be happy. Just my 2 cents.

I would just to thank the people who are coming into this thread and saying, we already got a loot chest and we still got mail. This proves that there are issues with the script, so there is hope for the people who have received messages saying “they are not eligible”. It’s great to see the community coming in like this. Thanks.

Attended / No Loot (D/C) / No Mail (EU Aurora Glade)

Me and my wife both attended the event as best as we could based upon the lag issues and d/c problems, I have a screen shot that I sent to a Guildie who was on Skype at the time because he said I was alive, but my screen shot clearly shows me as dead. I have removed all the mails from my EXCEPT for the 4 that I got from the Lost Shores event, I might need some proof that I was online etc, and these mails show that I was around.

We have submitted support tickets, but reading the post from Gaile at the start of this thread indicated that Tickets were not needed. I am on an EU server, and have not received a mail.

On Aurora Glade (EU Server) and not received a loot chest mail yet. Any EU people got their chest yet?

My wife has played everyday since the game’s release, she has been great at saving up money, buying character slots, extra banks slots using in game money, and has been saving up for her first Legendary weapon. After we got D/C due to the lag during the main event, and not being able to get back in (we had login issues to the forum and the game) she resigned herself to not being able to participate in the event, and then she found out that people, some had trial accounts, had just gotten legendary precursors. It was heart breaking to see her reaction. I had to drag her back into the game yesterday, just to try and “get her to get back on the horse”.

I never expected Anet with GW2 to create that many losers and winners with such a massive difference between the 2. Not rewarding people who had done all the weekend events leading upto this finale and handing out massive rewards to trial accounts, think how many gold farmers there could have been with all those trial accounts

I was and currently am, very disappointed with how Anet handled this whole event, and I would not blame my wife at all for not wanting to play.

To add my thoughts, I was also very surprised that the weapons dropped were Legendary weapons, when all the talk for the last few weeks before this was about the new Ascended gear.

I’m not sure if it is an exploit or not, but I would like some clarification from Anet.

If it was not an exploit, why were posts helping people redo the event deleted?

I would very much like to know about this whole reusing overflows to get more “stuff” and if they class this as an exploit, because at times, you can find some ore and then travel to another server and get the ore again. Waiting on Anet for a statement with regards to overflow servers.

/Signed. I agree with the subject of this thread.

I would have to agree, All the blogs from ANet before the game was released, always said that they would give tokens that could be exchanged for armor/weapons, I know that was from dungeons, but this was a big mistake giving some people weapons worth that much money.

Signed. My Wife and I both got D/C during the event, and we unable to get back into a server that we could get back into the event. Other parties members finished and got the loot. A re-run is a very good idea.

Attempt 2 at posting.

1. Wife and I got d/c and got no reward despite being part of all the events all weekend leading up to this event.

2. Very glad I did not not invite any friends to play GW2 over this weekend, as I would have been very embarrassed, as this was not a good reflection on how good ANet can be.

Signed. They do so much so well, it is a shame that we are seeing more and more large scale events, which do not work, instead of more awesome dungeons etc..

This is awful. I have spent a fortune on armour repairs: I can’t leave the event, I am in a party and my friend say I am alive, but my screen shows me as dead. Then I got kicked out, and when I log back in, I am dead on a different overflow, so there is no one to rez me.

I love the net content you guys are trying to create for this wonderful game, but really, before you create more events like this, please spend some more time and fix these problems, I am itching to give you my real life money for gems, but until these problems are fixed I won’t be doing that. It saddens me.

I have now done 2 events on Phase 2 and received no reward for either event.

I did the main Phase 2 event and got no reward, and then I followed the story thread and tried to be part of capturing the areas on the beach in the new Lost Shores content, and still no reward for this event.

Not really much else to say, I got loot and XP from both, so I know I killed things.

Was in an overflow server that started the event about 5 mins ago, as soon as the event started I got booted out of the game. I managed to connect back in, and joined my party. I got 4 drops, but got no reward for being part of the event, so no karma, XP, nothing. I know I killed, cause I had drops. Another broken event.

Another one of my party, one of our younger guild members got NO reward at all, despite participating in the event, this is really not reflecting well on ANet. It’s not easy to explain to a younger member of the guild that the basically you were just unlucky.

I think Anet should hurry up and release some information on the the Ascended weapons, the little “teaser”, saying that they are better than Exotics/Legendaries really seems like a kick in the teeth to all those people who own and paid good money for the Best of the Best.

Confirmed as still bugged on the 11/11/2012, any news from ANet when this will be looked into and fixed as it stops map completion. Would be nice for some reply to this issue.

Same on Aurora Glade server. Managed to get in, once, but not as a full party.

Server: Aurora Glade
Map: Kessex Hill
Skill: Ol’ Stinky

Nothing happens, you can’t start the skill quest.

My main is an Ele and I have found that the overall difficulty of some of the story missions is too hard. Making something hard doesn’t make it fun. Most of the AI dies too easily, and on your own it takes so very long to rez someone when you are on your own.

I get the feeling that on some of the harder missions, we are experiencing a CoD system, where you have allies that go with you through the story, but in CoD the allies don’t drop dead with a couple of hits. If this is the idea behind the story missions, then maybe the AI allies should be able to withstand more hits, or that we should be able to rez AI allies in Story mode missions, much quicker than in the world.

I have found that some of my characters experienced missions much easier than others, so it might be characters that need some work also.

Hi, I was trying to do The Personal Story with a friend and we had reach the mission "A Grisly Shipment, but after we entered it together, I wasn’t shown ANY cut scenes at all.

When this happens, this usually means that I am not going to “complete” the mission, and that we have to do it a 2nd time.

And with all the deaths that occur during some of the harder missions, helping people is costing a fortune, and it shouldn’t be like this, you should be rewarded for helping people, not punished.

Is there a reason why you can’t work together on some missions and both get the reward for completion?

Well, during normal events and everything at the Diessa Plateau, i was presented with a dialog as I was trying to do other things that gave me 4 choices.

3 of these choices where to wager 50 SILVER on where a cow would land. That is an insane amount of money to take away from a lvl15-25 character, all that hard earned cash GONE.

Why do the dialogs have to be so large in right in the centre of the screen when you are fighting for your life, trying to pick up loot and all of a sudden you have lost 50 Silver.

I luckily managed to click away from the message, but my party member was trying to activate the Catapult and has now lost 50 Silver.

I really don’t know what else to say, but I feel like we were robbed.

The camera problems need some work, getting some of the Vista’s can be a right pan when the camera refuses to behave. Thanks for the brilliant post.

I bought a character slot using Gems and also got an extra character slot. I sent a support ticket straight away.

I have just read the Reddit post that says we get to keep it, that is awesome news Anet and a great gesture. I’m still a little nervous about using it, so I’ll wait for some official word in the forum. Thanks again.
