  1. What I've been wanting is an endless super adventure tonic. I'm surprised they haven't made one yet. Individual tonics for various SAB creatures would be nice, but I'd settle for a single tonic that gives a random transformation. I really want to run around as a super beedog or bunny. Maybe even a SAB snake or monkey. Perhaps as next year's reward for completing the (Annual) Super Adventure Box Nostalgia achievement. Various SAB transformations already exist in the game and at least some include costume brawl skills. But you can only get transformed into a random SAB creature by interacting with a super adventure box 'o fun, and the transformations only last about 30 seconds.
  2. When using the flute there will be a progress bar for the first note you play (which note doesn't matter). I found it works better if you wait until the first note you play finishes (progress bar goes away) then play the song. Don't count the first note you play as part of the song.
  3. I found out about this promotion yesterday, and it turned out I wasn't subscribed to any of the newsletters. However, after subbing to them all I haven't received any confirmation email and the switches are still green. My guess is I subscribed to 1 or more newsletters when I created my GW2 account back in 2014, got the confirmation email, but unsubbed shortly after. I did have a bit of trouble getting the account settings page to work. I got an error message like others when trying to subscribe to the newsletters. But, I noticed NoScript was blocking stuff. Everything's working perfectly fine since I had NoScript allow all on the page. The switches are all green indicating I'm subbed to everything, and I can unsub to all of them and resub without any issues. Still no emails of any kind though. I guess it will be a little while before I start receiving the newsletters.
  4. Oh yeah? And a reef drake is just a reskinned river drake. A polar bear is just a reskinned brown bear. A jungle spider is just a reskinned forest spider. And on and on and on. So what's your fucking point? The issue is its marketed as it being a unique mount when its not and then releasing a 2000 recolor skin pack a week later. Are you insinuating some sort of false advertisement? We weren't charged anything extra for the mount. It was free, as long as you own the PoF expansion. What are you expecting of us? Band together and file a class-action lawsuit against ArenanNet because they reused the same mount skeleton? It's simple: if you don't want to buy the new mount skins, then don't. Nobody is forcing you to buy them. It's stupid to come here with some dumbass excuse to try and convince others who may buy the skins not to, simply because you don't like it.
  5. Matching backpack skin to go with the Bloodstone Glider would be nice. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bloodstone_Glider Total makeover kit: Bloodstone eye color, hair color, and accessory color.
  6. Elementalist's under water elite skill Whirlpool. Camera zooms very far out. If I try to zoom in just a tick, it goes into first-person mode. There is no in-between max-zoom and first-person. This is very irritating because it makes it hard to see where my character is and how close I am to the enemies, causing me to swim around mindlessly trying to hit something. Whirlpool is literally the only elite skill for core ele that can be used under water. The elites from tempest and weaver can be used under water, but if you have no use for those skills, whirlpool is your only other option. None of the racial elites skills from any race can be used under water. So your only options for ele are whirlpool and whatever the elite spec your'e using (if any) gives you.
  7. A Phoenix backpack skin to go with the glider. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Phoenix_Glider A Phoenix Eye Mask would be nice. Basically something like the glowing crimson mask but with a fire effect. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glowing_Crimson_Mask Would go well with my elementalist's flamekissed armor.
  8. I had purchased the item to unlock this collection with my Soulbeast and stayed in the map after unlocking it to work on renowned hearts for the day. I completed 5 events on my Soulbeast and this achievement was completed. Soulbeast can't use staff. Not that I'm complaining. But a bug is a bug. It seems the requirement to be wielding a staff while doing events is not true.
  9. Hmm.......I see the pickle you're in. Judging by the wiki, there doesn't seem to be an ascended auqabreather with Plaguedoctor's stats available anywhere in the game. So there's no guarantee you'd be able to stat swap another breather to it. The aquabreathers from the unbound magic vendor in Bitterfrost Frontier did have PoF stats (Grieving and Harrier's) added among the selection you can choose from, but not Plaguedoctor's. You could still give stat swapping a try though. It seems that would be the only way to get an ascended aquabreather with Plaguedoctor's stats.
  10. It says it right there in the wiki link you posted, under Acquisition Methods for level 80 ascended breathers. I've done it on at least a couple characters myself a while back. It's the exact same method you use for stat swapping armor in the mystic forge. For you it would be: Exotic Plaguedoctor's insignia+5 ectos+anthology of heroes (purchased from mystic forge lady)+any ascended aquabreather. Easiest method: purchase an ascended aquabreather from the unbound magic vendor in Bitterfrost Frontier and select any stats, then stat swap it it in the mystic forge. It was fixed back in August 2018 https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/231272908-Known-Issue-Tracker
  11. A year later and still bugged. Oct. 25, 2018 9pm PST: I got to Mad King Says a few minutes after it started and only got enough favor for 2 key fragments. 11pm PST: I got there a bit late again, but had 6 or 7 Mad King's Favor (4 is needed for 1 key fragment), but did not get the key fragment. 1am PST: I got there several minutes early. Wound up with 15 or 16 Mad King's Favor. Still didn't get the 3rd key fragment.
  12. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Enchanted_Daggers Because it requires enemies to be around in order to get the full healing from it. You get a few little green crystals that float on your character. Each crystal flies out and hits an enemy and you get healed when it hits. If there's no enemies around, all you'll get is the tiny amount of healing from casting the skill. You're also under constant poison when going through the field in this story instance. Poison reduces the amount of healing you receive by 33%. Revenant skills already heal for barely anything, unless certain conditions are met for most stances, so this makes it worse. Your best bet would be Dwarf stance since its healing skill has the highest self heal out of all the stances and doesn't have any requirements to get the full healing effect, but the healing is still crappy. It also removes up to 5 conditions. But there's a catch with this story instance: For starters, the poison from the field is reapplied to you even if you remove it. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Soothing_Stone The healing while in dwarf stance is reduced by 33% due to the poison from the field, even though it removes the poison. That's the thing I don't like about Revenant. You don't have any good large self heals. Most have requirements such as being close to enemies, getting hit by enemies, or standing still inside a circle in order to get the full healing benefits.
  13. Only occurs if your Pact Commander mastery isn't completed.Only occurs on level 80 characters. When HoT launched I had enough Central Tyria mastery points and completed Pact Commander first. Afterwards this pop-up had gone away, even before I had fractal and legendary mastery tracks fully completed. I don't get the pop up anywhere in the HoT maps, even though I haven't obtained enough mastery points to finish them, and I never had the pop-up after PoF had launched. My uncle doesn't have Pact Commander mastery completed yet and has been complaining for a while about this pop-up. He says it happens only on level 80 characters, as soon as he eventually levels them up (he doesn't use boosters or anything and levels up characters the old fashioned way: personal story and just general killing stuff). After he got enough mastery points to unlock another tier in Pact Commander, the pop-up went away until the XP bar was full again and he didn't have enough points to unlock the next tier. So I've concluded it has to do with not having the Pact Commander mastery track fully completed, and it only happens when you play level 80 characters.
  14. The 'Live Fast' trait only grants fury and quickness when using F3 (beast skill) while merged with any kind of pet, and does not work when using F2 (beast skill) when not merged with a pet. This isn't a tooltip problem either. When not merged, neither I nor my pet will gain fury and quickness when using the pet's F2 skill. It is displayed in the tooltip for soulbeast F3 skill and does grant the boons when merged with the pet. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Live_Fast https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Beast (Info about the ranger's 'Beast' skills) The 'Beastmastery' specialization has 3 traits that effect 'Beast' skills (Go for the Eyes, Wilting Strike, and Beastly Warden) that work both when merged (F3 skill) and not merged (F2 skill). I've tested all of these traits to see them working both ways. This is why I'm assuming the 'Live Fast' trait is bugged. Edit: One reason why this is a problem is because the next trait, 'Furious Strength', increases damage when you have fury. Meaning your damage output is not increased unless you're merged with your pet and/or have other sources of fury, since 'Live Fast' isn't granting fury when not in soulbeast mode.
  15. What's the average price of an outfit, 700 gems? I'd say at most 700 gems per mount would be reasonable, as long as we can pick and choose which skins we want to buy. I bought 6 tickets. 2 of them were griffon mount skins. I don't have the griffon mount unlocked yet, so they're kinda useless at the moment. I also wound up with 2 skimmer mount skins. I hardly ever use the skimmer. Usually for going over water or sulfurous haze, due to it moving slower on land. And out of those 6 I didn't get the specific jackal mount skin I wanted. The other 2 were a decent jackal skin, and a springer skin (not the one I would have wanted either).
  16. Yep. The info for it in the gem shop is completely misleading. It doesn't say it's a sand jackal only skin, and instead implies it's a completely new mount. I like it, but, I payed 1,600 gems for 5 spooky mount skins. I'm not paying 2k for a single jackal skin. I would pay 2k for a themed pack for all mounts.
  17. Last night I went to Lion's Arch about 3 minutes after the event had started (1:03 am PST). I rushed over and did the event after grabbing gold from the exchange for selling items. I wound up with 11 Mad King's Favor (10 is needed for 3 key fragments), but I only received 2 key fragments. Theory: if you're not already in LA when the event starts, you get shorted 1 key fragment, even though you got there in time to get more than enough favor for all 3 key fragments. Basically, you have to be in LA and close enough to the event area when the Mad King shows up. (The other day I got 4 Mad King's favor while AFK at the bank closest to the event.)
  18. You should be able to get 3 key fragments per day, regardless of how many rounds you do. This exact thing happened to me once last year: I only got 2 key fragments from a single round of Mad King Says, even though I qualified for all 3. I did the event the next time it was up but never received the final key fragment, and I think I did it a third time that day. I did get 3 fragments from 1 round of Mad King Says the next day after daily reset. (I still have those same 2 key fragments that have been sitting in my bank for the whole year) I did contact customer support but they said they weren't able to replace the missing key fragment. Basically, not much we can do about it other then to wait until the next daily reset to get the key fragments.
  19. The achievement 'The Whole Story' wasn't granted in 'The Departed' story step, even though I completed the requirements. I had the buff showing I qualified for the achievement all the way until I got to the final memory thing (Balthazar on top of the hill). Immediately as the Balthazar memory despawned, my character flashed and had a sound effect as if I leveled up and the achievement buff was removed (my mastery XP bar wasn't even full, nor do I have all PoF masteries fully maxed out). I didn't get the achievement granted after fully completing the story step and getting the mission rewards. Sept. 28, 2017Around 12:00 am PST is when I completed part of the story on my character Dances With Salad. Edit: The flash animation and sound effect I got - instead of the achievement being granted - was the same animation and sound effect you get when using a tome of knowledge to gain a level on a character.
  20. I fail to see how it would allow you to "skip" content. In story instances you have to do things in a certain order. Even if you were to use a mount to go ahead, you'd still have to backtrack to where you're suppose to be. Also, as others have said, they could just put the mounts disabled buff in certain areas, and they have. For example, the entire Frost Basin area in southeastern Hoelbrak has the mounts disabled and glider disabled icons. You can't even use a raptor in that area without being dismounted, and before PoF you use to be able to use your glider there (most likely to prevent players from breaking out of the map). I also fail to see how someone else using a mount bypasses your content. If you don't want the mount, don't get it or use it. Simples. I haven't gotten far enough yet to get the Griffon mount, but from the looks of other players using it, it's basically just an overpowered glider. It doesn't seem to actually let you hover in the air for as long as you want, or even let you go as high as you want. Basically it seems to have some limitations. Edit: And if you think about it, you can't use gliders in any story content prior to Heart of Thorns because those maps weren't built with gliding in mind. I imagine it's the same for all story content prior to Path of Fire. PoF story content was built with gliding and mounts in mind, so there are invisible walls and places that dismount you or prevent you from using mounts to prevent the player from going places they're not suppose to be.
  21. If an instance is too difficult, or it bugs out and you can't continue the story, the red boundary gives you a way to leave the instance since there's no door icon to click on until the instance is complete. Unfortunately, the boundary isn't always accessible due to it being outside mountains and such. In such cases you'd have to go to your guild hall or exit to the character select screen to get out.
  22. Crafting an exotic insignia to change stats an ascended aquabreather in the mystic forge, only to realize you can't change stats on aquabreathers. Then later crafting armor with those stats and forgetting I had the insignia in my bank (meaning I crafted 1 too many insignias). How to solve my issue? Pay attention next time. LOL
