As the title states when I have the chat menu collapsed I don’t seem to receive any chat messages from /say /map & /guild (I haven’t tested others or whisper) This doesn’t appear to be the case all the time.
Usually it will show me old chat (could be up to an hour old). This old chat doesn’t move, so it isn;t trying to catch up, it just picks a random section of old chat and presents it.
If I open the chat menu so the tabs are showing then the chat is 100% up to date. It just doesn’t update if chat is collapsed.
One example of a GW1 mission that could be brought over to build a bridge between GW1 / 2 lore would be when Prince Rurik dies at the Frost Gate and his sword is lost. As we all now know Rytlock owns Sohothin and it hasn’t really be explained how he got a hold of it.
I assume that one day ANet will give hints and maybe a final detail as to how that occurred, but using the Fractals system they could give us an answer in a nicely presented way.
We should be able to see a cinematic giving a bit of history before the mission (so new players understand what has been happening), we can then jump into the mission with Rurik (as in the old game with updated textures, graphics, enemy attacks etc) and after the mission when Rurik is killed we could have another stylised cinematic which shows progression of the future and how the sword was rediscovered.
Maybe after that cinematic there could be another mission where you play the final chapter of Rytlock actually getting the sword.
It could be done in the standard Fractal 3 dungeons system.
1st dungeon: play the GW1 mission
2nd dungeon: something inbetween (maybe finding information about where the sword is.
3rd dungeon: play as rytlock to get the sword
This could be done on multiple different missions / lore related aspects.
As MesmeForever said introducing some answers as to what happened to Elona & Cantha would also be interesting.
This may already have been asked in the forums previously, but I have huge issues “searching” and no results appearing in this forum.
I would be interested in seeing some of the key / more interesting GW1 missions from Prophecies and EoTN recreated and able to be played through the Fractals (or another system).
The Fractals is all about revisiting small slices of past events, so if you took some of the important GW1 missions from the above mentioned campaigns, ones which still have some bearing on the shape of Tyria today, this could help players new to the world of Tyria see what has happened in the past, and also give a fresh, updated nostalgia for the old players.
If ANet paired these play through’s with cinematics which gave a little bit of history of what happened before the missions then it could be a way for them to get some old lore pumping through the veins of GW2 and help join new and old together.
I would like to add: I just tried using the search function while looking to see if a bug had previously been posted. Apparently there are no results for “party” in the forums, which of course is rubbish because I can find plenty via google.
If you don’t want people to repeat the same bugs in different topics over and over why not fix your search feature once and for all so people can determine whether or not they are repeating what 10 others have already said.
And in regards to:
Search is limitied to last 1 hour of posts. Anything older than that is not returned, which is not very useful.
Is this genuinely true? If so it is the worst idea I’ve ever heard.
Basically as it is written above. The one catch is that I don’t have firewall active on my PC, so what is stopping me from forming parties? I am still able to join someone else’s invite.
I thought it may be some sort of automatic error for server issues, as I have seen a similar message before when launching the game, but after I have an error if I ask someone to add me they can straight away, we are in the same world so server issues surely cant be at play?
Am I missing something?
