[Suggestion] change to Tome of Knowledge

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: videll.9531

I’m sure other people will agree with me on this one.

Is it possible to change the tomes so that only the person using it sees the “level up” effects and animation (for everyone else, it will look like you’re just standing still doing nothing with no effects at all)? For me, I find it very annoying to have people level spamming right at the banker locations, forcing me to quickly map travel elsewhere.

BALANCE, BUG-FIXING, POLISH
General

  • The Map Travel feature no longer costs money when going to an uncontested waypoint. If it is contested, you can pay a small fee equal to double the cost it normally would have been prior to this update and still go to that waypoint.
  • All condition damage received is reduced by 75 percent and cannot exceed 5 stacks. This only applies in PvE areas.
  • All non-condition damage from mobs in Heart Of Thorns maps is reduced by a certain amount, depending on your armor.
    - Light armor: 75%
    - Medium armor: 50%
    - Heavy armor: 25%
  • Transmutation charges have been removed from the game. Equipment and wardrobe changes can now be made freely at any time without cost.
  • Players now have the ability to create custom chat and whisper filters, which will prevent any received message or whisper containing specific filtered words you choose from appearing. There is no limit to how many filters you can have active.

Profession Changes

General

  • The amount of health restored by any healing skill is doubled. Cooldown duration is reduced by half.
  • Stability duration has been increased to 20 seconds.

Dragonhunter

  • Cooldown duration of all trap skills has been reduced by half.
  • Damage of all trap skills are now doubled.

Celebratory Dye Pack color chart

As some of you are already aware, this item allows you to select one of 14 different dye kits, 10 of them containing a guaranteed account-bound exclusive dye as part of that given kit, each of these having 6 to choose from.

So I decided to make it much easier to know which exclusive colors are in what kit and created a color chart, showing what they look like. Simply click here to see it.

PROJECT CANCELLED

I started posting chapters of the story for just my guild back in mid July, giving them first look at it. 14 chapters later, the only feedback I got was after the posting of the prologue, saying “Great start!”. The previous story I had written before this ended up having a ‘rushed ending’, due to lack of feedback. And now, I’m having to type up another rushed ending and the planned sequel is also cancelled.

No guild panel? Sorry Anet :(

All Anet needed to do for Revenant characters is the following:

1. enable guild chat
2. disable access to guild bank
3. disable sending or receiving items/money
4. disable access to guild progression, missions, and rewards

Original LA in personal story instances

Earlier today, I found out that personal story instances involving Lion’s Arch still use the original version of the city, not the recently rebuilt one… or was this intentional for some reason?

Coming soon - "When Gods Were Mortal"

I write short story lores for my guild and I’m in the middle of writing my newest one titled When Gods Were Mortal. All of my other lores have featured time travel, alternate histories, “What if…?” situations, stuff like that. But I wanted to do something different and this time, it will be made available for reading to everyone, not just my guild.

I chose to write about the origins of the gods, a subject discussed by many GW players over the years. From their mortal childhoods, learning their given professions, friendships and rivalries, all leading up to their ascension to immortality and the task of finding a way to save the human race from extinction.

However, It doesn’t end there. That is just the first half of the overall story. It will continue in the sequel Countdown to the Exodus, picking up where WGWM left off. The creation of the Forgotten, bringing humanity to the world of Tyria, the birth of Grenth, Abaddon versus the other gods, the Exodus where they leave the world forever, and more.

NOTE: This is going to be my personal creative take on what I think their origins might be and should not be treated as actual fact. Once I finish WGWM, I’ll find a place to upload it and announce here that it’s ready for reading.

Latency/Lag for EU Players? [merged]

in Account & Technical Support

Where: NA, Nashville TN

When: Since the 3/17 update

Server: Devona’s Rest, I play in the evenings (central time zone)

What you see: Before 3/17, my fps was around 30-40 (sometimes more, depending on where I am). Now, my fps is reduced by half to 18-21 just about anywhere in the game and constantly …and I’m using the Best Performance graphics setting. The only time I don’t lag is while watching a vista cinematic. Fortunately, I haven’t dc’d because of all this yet. I’m staying away from large crowds whenever possible.

Scornheart missing from Vigil Keep

I searched the entire area of Vigil Keep and Scornheart is nowhere to be found… unless he’s on the airship, which I can’t get to. Is that where he is or simply not at the Keep at all?

No dirt covered objects at all

May I please get a guest invite from someone to another U.S. server where I -can- get them, if possible? This achievement is all that stands between me and the fused gauntlets.
