Was stuck in the same area, and read a tip. Bought a couple of Uncommon Kryptis Motivation -- which appears to be useful only in one map. Started in Amnytus, used the Uncommon Kryptis Motivation, seen a red text "You have begun tracking for tier 2 rifts." Then scanned, got character speak, used the Heart to scan for a rift (J). Threw up catmander and called out in map chat Tier 2 Rift on Green. Was able to continue the story and not on chapter 9.

Got the same response this evening too. And I have been actively buying gems every month , unless something really interesting showed up on BLTP. Been using the same card, plenty of cash in the bank, weird. Went to send an item to my alt account and noticed I did not have enough gems. Looked in email and got that dumb message. Never had it before either. Was going to get the moon chairs for both accounts. 😕

Have spent many hours searching for names of a "theme" online. Although I used the Friends Lists to check the names are not take. I have over 50 characters. A lot of common names are taken. An ex-GW1 guildy has a name I thought of, Taylor Skritt, and he took it. Sadly I've not seen him back in many years, and have sent in-game emails asking if he still plays her. I should of nabbed the name, but at the time I did not have the income to buy another slot. Do strongly suggested making 12 characters total, one for each month. Those birthday rewards are worth if if you plan to stay in the game. 😉 Oh, and make a simple spreadsheet to keep tracks of who is what, where they are at in crafting, story, race, base profession, elite profession, creation date, birthdays (for yearly goodies), etc. Across two accounts there is no way I can remember all that without a spreadsheet. I also add in names I had/have in Everquest 2 that I have yet to use here, namely because Anet has no Lizard race, and was hoping maybe Tengu would been a playable race. Most of my base names came from GW1, a few from Aion. Have a friend named Rosie.... and she has an alt with Rosie in there. What I do miss from EQ2 is that one could use a ' in the name. i.e. Karla De Veng'Nce There are times when you want a name and are a character or two over. So a ' can help shorten the name without it looking stupid. And was going to use an example, and found the name was not taken, so, yeah, there are available names out there, Virginia. 😉

Glad you got it Vera! 🙂

Use extended characters. Don't get crazy with them. Like if I wanted Carman Camelion, which is no doubt taken, try: Cãrman Cãmelion Carman Camælion But, do not go how wild there... Cārmãn Cāmãlion Another way is to use alternative spellings, or shorten them up. But, let us say you got this name, Iksar Beastlord, and you want to know if it is taken. Copy the name, Iksar Beastlord, and paste into friends list. If it says the name does not exist it's free to be taken. If an account shows up, you can remove that player and try something else.

We, a bunch of us, sat outside Mori Village for over 3 hours and Saya never once started the Avian Sharpshooter event. Checked back after another hour, players will still there waiting. Can one of you developers, please have a talk with Saya. I know she doesn't want Tateo to lose, and they need more practice... but can we players have some practice at the Mastery point there too, please?

Lately I noticed if I take a long fall, perform a jump shot, glide then drop, or some mounts like raptor or jackal (then dismount), the mech vanishes. Even other players verified it was not just on my end. And it is notoriously occurring using Jump Shot. can only see the X (F4) and pressing that does nothing. No recall, recycle, nothing. The only work around I found is quite silly. Jump. Player does a simple jump and the mech returns with the mech command window.

Am enjoying the Mechanist. I don't use grenades as have to keep pressing, and I'm always moving. Flkamethrower is great for lots of mobs grouped together. The mace is good for a few on one, but the offhand is shield or pistol.... if was a torch (hehe). Miss the Scrppper builds, those were rather intimidating and players whined about those, especially in WvW. Problem is other players see that a basic class that did not offer much now has a semi-starring role. And we can contribute to groups. Mine I use the group buff on F2, and the F8 helps to heal the mech, others, and me if I am close in with mace. So do not seeing this as OP, I see it as being wanted in groups and metas whereas other Engineer builds not so much. Not everyone has the best sigils that can really expand upon the DPS on ANY CLASS. As for AFK stuff, I do not see it - nor would I want to. See far too many players in one spot as a minion necro farming spots, probably AFK. Seems any class with a pet does that and quite frankly that is irritating to see your own class pet-botting. Mechanist has a momentary stability. Have to dodge a lot, teleport player & mech, or jump shot. See far other classes out performing the Mechs. But who's complaining about Mechs being OP? Other classes that would rather not see an Engy in groups. And I have seen groups fall when the mechanist goes down. They are not full heals or buffs, it's all skills and sigil effects. Sigials are available to those that have access to the better one from Strike from the Aerodome or crafted (account bound). Am glad to see the Engineer/Mechanist being more self-sustaining for a change. Scrapper was really good too.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Even in August. 🙂

Luckily there was an angel out there on a EU server that donated a BIG chuck of Essences. So I no longer need them. Thanks to that exceptional player that came to my (our) rescue!! Who knew a EU player could visit a US Guild Hall. Could not see them, but added them as a friend, sent a temporary guild invite, and they said they had donated. Sure enough more than what I was wanting was there!! Just was not able to see them. If only we could see one another across the realms. Guess Guild Wars 2 is not that far advanced yet.

What is the going rate of exchange to have 400 Essence of Luck [Exotic] to be donated to a Guild Hall for Further Exploration? Since surviving a bad case of co-vid last December I decided to put my nose to the grind stone and got our Vabbi guild hall to almost 49 [so close]. Further Exploration wants 777 Exotic Essences of Luck. Am 405 away. Just do not know what to advertise for a stack, or per Essence, or what. Want to offer as a fair exchange. Any ideas?

Seen lots of guilds run Guild Rushes once to only get their guild commendations, then leave the guild rush open. Trying to get others to take advantage of this is the biggest issue. The Dragon Bash event does not help much either. Frog Council [FROG] came by later in the early morning hours and we got Bear Lope done, then went on a short bounty run.

Was looking for a shoulder item for an alt, and seen a Golden Racing Scarf there on the Trading Post. When clicking it, the purchase options in the bottom of the pop-up box displays nothing bu a rotating circle. Canceled. Clicked on other "racing" items, same issue. However when searching for Scarf and click on a non-racing scarf that works normally. Don't understand why anything Racing is not purchasable if it is listed for sale.

Vabbi Guild Halls should have their own Vabbi styled music theme(s).

Been noticing this today in WvW. A group in Henge of Denravi came in the weirdest lag happened. Not sure if it is a syncing issue, or if they was doing some DOS thing. And could tell when they were coming as the game would start acting up again. In massive fights is was difficult to do anything, and tried texting alerts and they were posted like 30 seconds later. Checked the ping and was only 695 regularly 340. It felt more like 4.5 K latency. Only happened with that one group. Probably a sync issue.

Personally I would like to see in the "closet" what each mount does. If I had known that were-bear was so animated for the Warclaw I would of DEFINITELY bought it.Recently got out of the VA hospital, and trying to adjust back into the game, and picked up on WvW again a day after the were-bear vanished. That one mount if sooo animated, and noisy, I so would like to see it back again -- soon please. Got the Geode mount instead. It's cute, but that were-bear would of been awesome to have on both my accounts. :) If when clicking the new mounts for preview, if they would show their special animations that would be a bigger sales point. Most would probably think it was the same old animated mount. Since playing WvW last few days I been seeing these things rare up on their hind legs! Yeah, I would of bought them if I knew what their special animations did.

Simple. Don't use a build template. Take screen shots of your builds. Had to do that in EverQuest 2 a lot. Manually set them, like before the builds came in. I don't even use the build system. Have 5 Revs, can play them no problem. One is new. Sure, on login, the skill bar was all blanked out. So set it manually and was back in business. Not had any issues since.

Get on a good map where more people show up, blam! 7:11:3:202:101Log back in, and in a map where there's very little of anyone there... stupid. Must be an issue from the UK server thing. Played the game through an iPhone hotspot. First time no issues.Last night however, GW2 screen went black twice with no error message displayed. And another time with 7:11:3:202:101 displaying. Going cellular the IP addresses are different than wireless. Wired, unfortunately, costs way too much. $80+ a month minus the router. Not sure how much GB I use playing on the iPhone, but even that is not impervious to the 7:11:3:202:101 DC bug.

Started getting error codes 7:11:3:202:101 at 1:00 Am Mountain. Any time I would head to an event, would pause out, then would see the error codes 7:11:3:202:101 screen. In all my years since beta it's not been THIS BAD. Why now?!?

Not had issue with error codes 7:11:3:202:101util this morning. Started at 1:00 AM Mountain.

Even noticed lag on posting this. What the kitten's nest is going on??

Not had the issue until tonight, 1:00 AM Mountain. Error codes 7:11:3:202:101 every few minutes. Could not even complete the Fire Elemental event with four people. When you got downed you were destined to die as the fire plumes and embers would get ya cause there was no one else around. If you tried to res another they'd get you too. 4 players at the FE event. Now am starting to see why there's hardly anyone around on events. And as much money as I've dumped into the game the past few months, and then this. And it started when someone was wanting to join our guild and I replied our guild is dead. Then these error codes 7:11:3:202:101 attacks came.

I got on tonight, 1:00 AM Mountain, and there's like maybe 4 players at Fire Elemental. Ping 439, but the lag is absolutely horrible. The FE is hitting people and knocking them down in two hits, and they are unable to be resurrected or able to res themselves. Then you die, cannot waypoint out, and get DC. Heck, lot of times am fighting and suddenly stuff is not registering, but the FE was still damaging and interrupting cause there's like no one there. Rebooted the computer, router, twice. But to the game, error codes 7:11:3:202:101 from the Payette, Idaho region. Is the game being hacked again? Was weird, harvested in home, then guild hall. Then some character was asking me to join my guild, said was dead. he's asking why I was in it. Cause it's a home and let me do things I could not otherwise. Wasn't even a few minutes that I started getting those error codes 7:11:3:202:101 every 10 to 15 minutes. This some new IP hacking thing I wonder? Might be why no one is doing anything if their getting kicked offline from the client/server issue. As much money as I've dumped into the game the last few month I would expect better game play... /le sigh

Have noticed the change with a lot of the newer players. Not sure where they came from, or what their issues are, but they literally train mobs over lower level players that might just be staying out of the way from the mobs for a reason. Sat on a throne waiting for Megadestroyer and 5 players came by on their raptors, went up the spire I was on (Heart of Fire) with mobs, and see others on their Skyscales flapping overhead.It's stupid. Without that nonsense I rarely would die, and knew there was a risk from mobs, which does not bother me. Have played at lower level characters in places that most would not, but also done so a couple years after beta for kicks. It is fun, and dangerous, and quite the challenge. And I WP on death. Comes with the risk. :) But being killed from fellow player's deliberate trains?? That's total BS. Also noticed players train mobs to turrets during Shatterer events. Siege cannons do a heck of a lot of damage to the dragon. So when they get over-run, the siege cannons get destroyed. A decent amount of damage is lost. Engineers can be revived to make more mortars, but when a siege cannon goes down that's it - they cannot be repaired.Is bad enough the east side siege cannons get taken out and hard to keep free, as the Shatterer events seem scripted to keep players away and those siege cannons become useless. A few years ago the east side did not get as inundated with mobs, shatters, and explosions like it does now. Not much respect going on for Catmanders recently either. See fewer Catmander icons in PvE anymore. What happened to GW2?!? There are a few decent players out there, but there are way too many toxic ones lately.

This is my third Guardian. Wanted to go with a dark themed one this time around. Had a Shadowknight on EverQuest 2, and was trying to come up with a more menacing name; did not know (at the time) Deathknight was connected to a different game. Only evil-like classes here are Necromancer/Reaper or Revenant. Guardian seemed to be the only class closest to a Shadowknight, so went that route. She will end up following the Dragonhunter route. Do hope the devs will create an anti-guardian, similar to the Reaper in effects of the temporary minions, based more on keeping one's group going with offset buffs rather than "openly" giving buffs out like Guardians do. But I won't hold my breath. In any case, am having fun with it. :) Was going to use a Balthazar outfit, then saw the Awakened Zealot one and went with that instead. Minus the swords in the body, it's more in-theme.
