Thank you for all your responses. I did not realise they sent you a serial, That is how I used to buy GW1 expansions Factions, Nightfall, EotN for friends / family.. I thought they now only allowed you to directly buy it for your account and sent no serials and only able to gift purchases using the Gem Store gift button. I had bought the expansion for myself in game.

As the title says, I bought SotO for myself and want to buy a copy for my cousin, I can't find a way to do it and when I search online I only find reseller stores, is there an official list of resellers if I cant buy it through the official store?

I have followed that. Defeated both 5 times now as done it again about 45 mins ago with M-PEC activated. Obtained from either the Champion Mordrem Stonehead Alpha or Champion Mordrem Stonehead Beta in the southwatch event chain starting with Escort Sage Gorra to the Pact rally point through Escort and defend Sage Gorra as she activates the Griffonfall pylon.

Hi all, Just wondering if someone could help. I only need this item now to craft pre and ultimately craft HOPE. However I cannot get it even though I have tried multiple times. The tasks states Activate the M-PEC before defeating a Champion Stonehead near the Griffonfall Pylon in Auric Basin to gather its salivary stone. I have Killed the Alpha and Beta with M-PEC enabled and active 4 times now and no item received. I notice the type with Champion Stonehead (although there is not one in Auric Basin). I feel like this is bugged for me now, How did other people get this? Many thanks

Hi, I know this has been brought up a few times in the past and ANet do not usually comment, but it is becoming frustrating to farm Crystalline Ore due to DS Meta event participation. I have been looking to create some Gen2 Legendary's which do not support Desert - i.e. HOPE. I have managed to do a single meta in the past week, most nights I am online only one or two other people show up. I know this is more to do with the time I play but I do not think it would be detrimental to the game.

Thanks, Yeah I will report, I had enough participation and had selected the right guild etc, was really looking forward to completing stuff with guild, we did not know this was happening at first and one of my friends even moved from Gandara server to Gunnars Hold just to play WvW together. Then it put me in the wrong team, its so frustrating.

So I presenting my guild on the guild screen, and I have select my guild from the WvW menu under World Restructuring - BETA Another day has passed and I am still in the incorrect team.

I have been assigned a team for an old guild that I created with friends years ago and not my active or selected guild. I selected my main guild on WvW days ago but it still put me in the wrong team and even after skirmish or daily server reset it wont change.

Thank You, That was exactly it. Its such a small thing but its not obvious.

Hi, I am currently on Visions of the Past (Forging Steel) on an alt character and also completing the return to achievements. My next story title at top right says "use the Scrying Pool to relive Aurene's vision of the past.", When I try to progress Forging Steel it puts me into the Strike Mission (Public), When I complete that I have the same message at the top. It won't progress and I have completed the Strike Mission twice now. Thanks for any help

okay, anti-nerf. surely you get the point? It seems to have changed since release, it is now much easier than it was.

Hi, I was wondering if the Storms of Winter event in Bjora Marches has changed or whether my map was bugged? I am sure on release you had to defeat the Ice Construct before you were able to loot Asgeirs? Additionally, has the amount of Eternal Ice Shards from each node increased? I am getting 6 or 7 on every node now. I am sure this was less. Being in the map today to complete the returned to missions felt so nerfed compared to release it was kinda sad. Thanks

Is this happening for everyone? http://wiki.guildwars2.com

I am only in a guild with 5 friends 3 of which do not play any more. I am sure there are many other players out there in the same situation. I say I am pretty good i open world as I can solo nearly everything without help, I also run arcDPS and when doing any events / meta bosses I am generally in the top 5 for DPS ~20k - 30k damage sustaining. I do not mind wiping in open world as I can respawn, but wiping in an instance where I then get hassled by idiots is not fun.

I have tried and run a mostly raid build in open world purely because I want to get good and get into doing stuff like strikes. although its not what I consider fun and its not something I am very good at. I would like to be good but really do not have that much time to accomplish it. I completely understand that a lot will not even want this. I am actually resigned to getting the turtle now, which I should not be considering it was a major selling point of the expansion.

People should be able to play how they want. A huge part of the fan base is people who come from GW1 which is completely soloable. Even GW2 was soloable when it came out apart from Dungeons which you could complete with a group of 4 friends. The problem remains though, I am trying to get into a strike mission on the EU servers. Everyone wants Li's as proof I have raid experience, which I do not. I managed to get into a strike yesterday by saying I was DPS Banner, I am pretty good at it in open world and rarely wipe. But after we got Minister Li down to about 18% I completely wiped and then started to get bitched at and nasty messages by the other team as I failed for the group basically. I play Guild Wars for some escapism from idiots when I am at work, I do not get much time to play as it is, I do not need more stress when playing a game, it's not fun for me at all. Yet, I still want the turtle mount as its a nostalgia thing back to GW: Factions.

I commanded a group earlier and we cleared it, I had the group split into 10 subgroups. I gave the same instructions I have been for the past few days. One thing I noticed though. We had a huge chunk of time we were able to DPS where she was not flying about and when she did her wave move, it fired behind us so we were able to continue with the DPS. I asked for some people group 7 to glide for her tail and that seemed to take it down really quickly while 15 others groups 8, 9, 10 attacked her tail normally, the other groups stayed on her front foot ready to take down CC. it worked well but it was also due to luck. the majority of my experiences have not been as fortunate with the RNG. It's a huge issue which needs to be fixed. The mechanics are fairly trivial to people who read the chat, the dps is easy but the RNG is what is stopping this from being completed by the masses. It's only after completing it I realize how much this really is based on luck and not skill. One thing I know for sure, I'm not going back to do it again unless there is some reason I NEED to. It will soon be the case with any patient commander who manages to complete it unfortunately.

I suspect the same and you are right re: the commanders. I was just in a DE meta with an excellent commander, they gave everyone clear instructions and wanted people to learn and was not elitist. We failed at 2% and they then said that they were not coming back until it was fixed which was a shame as they were actually teaching players the map and mechanics.

It would be good if ANet released a statement, They put this threat here and 22 pages later we have not a word. I would also like to see what data they are collecting. It needs to be weighted based on how many players have completed and how many attempts it took those players to complete. rather than just a "20% success rate", as I am, along with a lot of others I suspect still not completed this and I have spent +26 hours on this alone.

No, because I was not comparing them to Cantha in GW1 as per the title. The maps are not really that big. It takes about 2 hours to map completion on Echovald Wilds. Which looks like its supposed to encompass, Ferndale, Melandru's Hope and Drazach Thicket, They would take longer to explore than 2 hours. a VQ on one of these maps is roughly an hour. I am not saying the GW1 maps are bigger but they have more intricacies and you can sometimes feel like you are getting lost. It is most likely that I am just feeling sentimental and nostalgic about Cantha.

Hi, The guild that I was part of for the past 5 years has disbanded due to many people leaving the game so I am looking for a new guild. My hours of play are unpredictable and while I can be online for most content like guild missions or fractals, I cant guarantee mandatory times due to work and family commitment. I am mostly look for a guild to hang out with, do some fractals and raids (if willing to teach). I use discord, I do not mind being on voice chat. really just looking for a group of people I can enjoy the game with. I have been playing GW1 since day one and GW2 since beta. I am very into the lore and I am pretty good at most OW meta's., I have commanded most. my discord is: dlystyr#5325

I am also VERY nostalgic about Cantha in GW1, I still do vanquishes a few days a week. I think that's why I am a little critical about the expansion. I do think 4 maps is on the low end for an expansion even though we will likely be getting more in LW. I would like to see more areas open in the Echovald forest, Especially around the Mourning Veil Falls area and as previously said Gyala Hatchery and The Undercity. It is interesting to see others thoughts. I found the story very good and I do love the maps they have released so far. I just hope its not too long before its released!

Yeah they were but they will still areas to complete and explore, which was always part of the appeal with GW. The beautiful map design regardless of copy / paste textures. Additionally, do you not think the Echovald forest is a lot of copy and paste from HoT?

When Guild Wars: Factions was released in 2006, I was amazed at the amount of content that was included. The map is huge and there is so much to it. So, have they done Cantha justice in only release 4 maps? IMO its 3 maps, New Kaineng is a city along a similar vein to Divinity's Reach.

That's what it is at this point, the RNG lottery. I am pretty good, I do a lot of dps and use a beserker condo build with full vipers ascended gear and legendary weapons. But I can't depend on casuals, nor do I expect them to be as good when I have put so much time in over the years. This meta is so demoralizing, I have logged in 3 times today, but just went to DE and decided to log out. Just can't be bothered at this point.
