[World Restructuring Update 3]

For a one week beta before it returns to normal worlds.

Yeah, not good. We need an alliance system that lets us invite a Guild to the Alliance. Then everyone in that guild that belongs to the alliance can select who to represent easier. Literally all I read from ANET's post was that you need to create a brand new guild(falsely called and alliance) to play in WvW. Or be randomly tossed around to where ever ANET wants you.

 

I want to be able to say that the alliance I belong to has these guilds in it, not just player number.

[World Restructuring Update 3]

So it appears that we aren't getting alliances in the sense of several guilds wanting to play together. We are actually going to have to invite everyone we want with us to one guild. So if someone has full guild slots they are stuck. Also, in order to meet the player cap, ANET is forcing a guild to make a decision to KICK players who aren't as active in the game but who may have been in the guild for years.  This is not a good solution or Alliance in anyway. An alliance is the joining of forces by multiple guilds. 

 

Solution(s):

1. Give everyone a Sixth Guild Slot - a WvW specific slot. We create the alliance and invite people to that slot. But this creates the old problem of having to invite up to 500 players(leaving out possible guildies due to limit cap).

2. Have Guilds themselves invited to the Alliance(a new slot needed), not worrying about the player numbers. All a player would have to do is designate that they want to use their guild, a member an actual ALLIANCE(of guilds), and then we wouldn't have to worry about creating new guild halls or brand new guilds to invite 500 players to.

 

Overall, I see this as one big mess. It is not an alliance unless it joins groups(guilds) together.

[Cannot Pre-Purchase EOD]

Should I try instead to buy it through the gem store? Because for some reason when I click here to preorder the page seems broken. 

I did the in game version to purchase the pre-order. It worked right away. I received the bonuses a little later. Be patient.

[Cannot Pre-Purchase EOD]

Finally got it to work when the in game version came up.

[Cannot Pre-Purchase EOD]

I can't pre-order EOD. I've called my credit card people already and nothing is being declined. Every time I've tried to pre-order the EOD Ultimate Edition I've gotten Payment Authorization Failed.  

 

[Issue on Pre purchase EoD]

I keep getting Payment Authorization Failed

[Marionette need be moved to be a raid or be nerfed.]

Yeah, I've seen a few as well. I saw one where our lane failed because all they did was stand at the top and do nothing, causing fewer numbers to deal with the incoming mobs. Sad to see players do this. They ruin it for other players. Wish there was a kick function, but that could be abused in some way.

[Marionette need be moved to be a raid or be nerfed.]

As someone who was involved with the very first Marionette kill when the Marionette first came out in LS1 I can say that it is worthy content that is an example of good game play design. When it first came out years ago no one was able to beat it for a long time. It was open world content during the closed Server Era(i.e. no Mega-Server). Our server got together and beat it. After that it became fairly easy now that everyone understood the mechanics, AND DID THEM. The Marionette is balanced just fine as is. Players can't simply just kill a few enemies and then afk if they want to get credit for this. I've seen many afk'ers in other boss fights and I welcome the fact that it is very difficult to get an afk credit. A welcome reissue of  classic LS. From what I've seen after its reintroduction people have finally figured out at least the basic mechanics to be successful. Listen to the commanders and have your dps/dodge/cc game face on.

[Legendary Armory compensation for duplicate items]

I got them too. You also had the choice of Legendary Sigils and Runes. But I'm sure there are people who truly have the PvP versions as well. I didn't have all the versions offered other than the PVE raid and WvW versions. So I picked some Legendary Sigils and some PVP armor versions. I think ANET did a good job on this. But I'm sure there are a few beyond me who had EVERY version of the armors.

[About those with more legendary items than can be held]

I just received 13 trunks in the mail. Thank you ANET for thinking of all of us who really grinded it out in game. Your reward is very much appreciated.

No.

[Legendary Andies, hold on to your asc gear until the eod reveal.]

Still. Always better to use plain English rather than a stupid meme term or urban dictionary term.

[Remove Infusions Before Legendary Armor?]

I'm sure they'll just be dumped into your inventory. The devs wouldn't risk losing thousands of gold worth of infusions from each player, that'd be reckless.

Yeah, imagine a player who wasn't able to log in until after the armory is implemented only to find they lost 10,000+ gold in infusions.(Chak infusion, etc)

[Legendary Armoury questions]

So what happens to the Infusions that are already on a set of Legendary items?  Will they be pulled off and put into your inventory when the system takes effect?  Since you are turning the legendary into "tokens" what happens to the infusions. 

 

And I have multiple suits of armor that are the same that  I made in WvW. What happens to those extra sets? 

[Bug - Return to Research in Rata Novus]

I posted on this already. I tried it twice a toon that had it done already and it didn't count. I was able to do all  the other ones and they counted even when done out of order. So I took a toon that hadn't done it through and it counted. Had to do Eir's Memorial again of course to get the Research in Rata Novus step to pop.

[Bug - Return to Research in Rata Novus]

I did the Return to Eir's Memorial and went to Rata Sum for the next step. Did the whole Research in Rata Nous arc, took the airship offered, arrived in Bloodstone and got no credit for finishing Research in Rata Novus.

[Living World Season 3 Return (June 29 - August 10)]

I just did the next step after the memorial and it didn't count. 20 minutes of dialog and now I have to redo it. Took the airship that was offered in the story to Bloodstone and no credit.

[Anyone remember the time they accidentally relinked 3 server together?]

Yes. We were up against the 3 servers they put together. Believe me, those 3 servers didn't like it either. Queues for days.

[The May 11 "balance" patch is a huge condi buff in disguise]

The condi spamming is certainly boosted in WvW now. Dragon Banners became deadly again, btw. You might have gone a little overboard on the condi boost and lowered boon ability here ANET. Cleansers have their work out out for them now. The condi bomb is real. 

[WvW tracking opponents via Friend/Follow/Block List]

The Friend/Follow/Block List should only show World vs World when someone on that list is opposing you during a matchup. I/They should not be able to look and see exactly what borderland anyone is on if we are enemies during a week. I've watched multiple live feeds of commanders looking at their "Friend" list to see what borderland an enemy commander is on. Please fix this, ANET. 

[did anet change the NA's population algorithmic?]

And when I look at our ACTUAL numbers that our server(excluding link) puts up every day I can't see how my server is considered full. We watch other servers have map queues running around on multiple BLS and EBG while we can barely queue a single bl and might have a queue on EBG. 

The algorithm needs some serious adjustment. The way it's calculating server size is completely messed up. The way things are going, assuming a bunch of EU players are making accounts on NA servers, no new players will be able to buy the game and pick a server in a few weeks. Time to expand the size of FULL, ANET. Please.

[Svanir not counting in DRMs]

The daily Kodan to kill 20 svanir is working in DRMs. Did Doric DRM and none of the svanir counted.

@Ashantara.8731 said:Just follow these rules and you won't have any issues in the future:

1. Never install anything in Program Files or Program Files (x64), unless it's system-related. Create your own Games folder on the drive's root directory (even better if on another, separate partition than the Windows one).
2. Always add GW2 as well as any add-on installation folders outside of the GW2 directory to your antivirus's list of exceptions.

Strange part is it had been working just fine for years and then suddenly said it was full event though it wasn't. After a bunch of efforts to fix it it decided to work again all on its own.

[Screenshot folder full - can't fix - [Merged]]

Somehow the problem resolved itself. No idea why it stopped working and now works again.

[Screenshot folder full - can't fix - [Merged]]

I'm still getting this screen shot is full message. Working with ANET but nothing has worked. I have GW2 set as an exception through my anti-virus and I have no screenshots in the folder at all.
