They should've implemented the ability to link a preview of your outfit. That would have made it easier for those actually engaging in Fashion Wars who currently write everything out, vs inspecting being the opposite. If they're going to implement inspecting, they should track it and display statues of the most inspected characters each season. The whole point of this is advertising, right? Maybe they'll finally implement the suggestion of having custom outfits, then have a store item to copy someone's look without needing the skins/dyes.

Volunteering doesn't care how many people are in the map, it means the map can be merged with the other. If you cause a map to overflow and get everyone to join the overflow, it's going to volunteer back into the first.

/age shows the character and account age. A character created in early 2016 would be around 3000 days old. Use the API if you want to get the actual timestamp: Account: api.guildwars2.com/v2/account?access_token=api key Character: api.guildwars2.com/v2/characters/character name?access_token=api key

The original daily API is dead. You have to use categories now, which has tomorrow's dailies hidden under a newer version: https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/achievements/categories/88?v=latest If you want to minimize API usage, note fractals are on a fixed rotation, so you can simply calculate the daily for any given day, but doing it this way will break whenever they add new fractals. You can assume if new fractals were added by checking for changes to the fractal group.

Yes, an account without S2 can complete the achievement for playing S2 by joining someone else.

I tested this with the daily a few weeks ago. If you leave the chest unclaimed, it will automatically claim the current chest when you load a character after it resets. If you were already on a character when it resets, the previous chest is simply lost without affecting the current one. When I tested this back when it originally came out, it properly claimed the previous rewards at reset if you were on a character, or after loading a character, without affecting the current rewards.

Everyone has the same weeklies now. Each objective that requires an expansion has an alternative way to complete it. You can't do bounties for example so you have to do 5 group events instead.

The leaderboards are cached, so if you just added them, they're not going to appear. They also won't appear if their account hasn't gained any achievement points within the last few years. If they changed their display name, they're probably broken.

No

Yes. You don't even need to use the skills now, simply having it equipped will give credit. You can just stand there and give people boons for example.

It's an option, but they didn't enable it. If you want formatting, you can simply paste already formatted text, or just edit it directly (F12).

This is what they use to check if there's a patch (the first number is the build): http://assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com/latest64/101 The current build is 159951. I'm assuming you're seeing something different, so either you or your ISP is caching websites, or the server failed to update. First, simply reset your DNS. Press WindowsKey+R, open: ipconfig /flushdns Try launching. If it still fails, you can try changing DNS providers: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using If it still fails, you'll need to manually select a different server. Search the start menu for cmd, right click it and run as administrator. The title of the command prompt window should begin with Administrator, showing it's being run as an admin (required). Copy the following line and right click the command window to paste it, then press enter: echo.99.86.37.92 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com>%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Now you should be able to patch. Eventually the IP will change and the launcher will fail to connect, so run this command to undo the previous: echo.>%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

You're probably using an old version of arc. Delete:

For those unaware, objectives that are completed but left unclaimed are automatically claimed when it resets, except for the daily login and special objectives. I tested this back when it came out and leaving the daily unclaimed wasn't a problem, except you lost the 10 AP from the achievement. Now it's bugged. If you leave the daily unclaimed and are online (on a character) at reset, you simply lose the rewards. If you leave the daily unclaimed and aren't online at reset, the rewards are automatically claimed when you load a character, but it claims the chest for the current day (you don't get the achievement) and is confirmed by the API.

They are "unlocked", but they require the expansion to use. They didn't make it clear, but they did hint that they wanted the expansion to be required when they said they gave previous legendaries access to everything regardless of expansion ownership.

They're using a CDN for the files, which is going to be different for everyone. Chances are your local server has a problem. Try flushing your DNS (ipconfig /flushdns) or switching DNS providers (google). Worst case, the CDN has a corrupted cache, which basically causes the entire region to be affected so this won't help. (I personally don't have this problem) You'll probably also need to clear the cache, knowing they have a history of caching bad files, so close the game and delete all gw2cache folders under %temp%. To quickly do this, press WindowsKey+R and open: cmd /c for /d %i in (%temp%\gw2cache-*) do (rd /S /Q "%i")

You can just launch Gw2.exe and it'll update; note it'll change to Gw2-64.exe. If you only have Gw2.dat, download Gw2Setup-64.exe, rename it to Gw2-64.exe, place it in the same folder as Gw2.dat and run it.

Nothing, just like when people complained when they made the tools account bound. It's your choice to make the legendary, so there's no need for compensation. If they actually did legendary tools, expect them to require salvaging infinite tools for a component that could be traded, and multiple would be needed per legendary.

It would be better if it told you up front. Playing through the map, then doing the story, then being told to play through the map is terrible. If they're going to keep doing this, I would rather see a multi-tier map-wide heart that fills up when you complete events. Instead of the story requiring you to do events, require the heart. Make it account-wide so the filler doesn't have to be done on every character.

GW2 normally uses 6112

It's probably a side effect of how the game only periodically saves, combined with packet loss. Anyone can easily experience this by forcing a disconnect within a few minutes of changing maps. You could try changing the port to 80 or 443 (-clientport 80), which may change how the traffic is handled.

Before 2015, each daily gave AP and festival dailies originally gave AP, with Lunar New Year 2017 being the last.

The slots that come with the expansions are reserved and can't be bought separately. You either had 27 slots, already had SotO, or this a critical bug.

Was Gw2-64.exe actually gone? If you have GW2 under Program Files, Windows Update likes to mess with that folder (files will be moved to a Windows.old folder in the root directory) and will automatically delete invalid shortcuts. Other than that, anti-virus probably deleted it. For future reference, you can simply rename Gw2Setup-64.exe to Gw2-64.exe to replace it.

If you have 0 from monthly achievements, check what the API shows just in case (api.guildwars2.com/v2/account?access_token=your api key). The vault did change the daily completion achievement, so it's possible it's broken now. Only accounts from before HoT are capable of having this problem, so it's going to be rare.
