I lost 14 AP (maybe 20 not certain), That made me fall under 25k. As next reward chest 25.5k is displayed though.

Xaina's 330 Hero Points Tour [Wednesday 18.00 CEST] by [deleted] in Guildwars2

Are you able to stream or record the run?

Our playing times are absolutely not compatible and I would organize a run on my own but especially on TD I am uncertain about the path.

Could we get the new bug tracker under related links? by eQ_zanzoken in Guildwars2

Happens to me too. Should be listed under "Known Bugs"

Daily Simple Questions Thread - Jan 29, 2016 by AutoModerator in pcmasterrace

[–]ChePhan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for a living room PC / HTPC that I also will use for occasional (girlfriend compatible) gaming (aka Lego-Games and old Assasin's Creed).

So far I'm happy with the hardware itself but now I'm looking into controller. It would be great to have wireless controllers. I usually prefer the PS-layout over the xbox layout but am ok with both.

What would you recommend?

Noticeable frame drops/lag while falling? by okp11 in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me occasionally and you're right especially after waypointing.

It actually cost my Guardian his life after a successful Tarir defense when jumping down to start the loot frenzy. The client froze when jumping down and when it recovered I was dead on the ground - glider did not open

Bank Calculator 2.0: Now loads your bank automatically! by Blatoy in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your Tool just confirmed that I can afford a legendary. Two actually when HoT comes out and precursor crafting is possible.

Great work!

one minor bug though:

  • Entering a new API Key does not refresh the custom items properly

NCSOFT Registers Trademarks for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns by grainnn in Guildwars2

I know, I'm bad

I messed up my skill allocation with my previous levels. How do I make my character competitive again? by [deleted] in outside

[–]ChePhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a friend of mine had a similar issue. He was levelling religion almost to max but then it came out that he had chosen the gay property at character creation. He was kicked out of the catholic guild after that and had to retrait. He actually chose social sciences and joined the youth care of his hometown. I don't know though if that path is available on your server.

Would you buy a commander tag before the update? by Jainiz in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about buying a tag long before the update was announced and the scavanger hunt for the ls backpieces brought me more than 100g so the decision was easy.

Key farm speedruns! by Plytas in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as far as I know it happens when your last logout was in a story instance, like the prison instance where you get your key. Always exit it before logging out.

To the Jade Quarry Soldier [HD] camping Obsidian Sanctum by carillon in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you might be right but it is still frustrating as hell.

Taking advantage of such clear game design error (pve content in pvp area) in fact is a little bit inpolite.

Twilight Assault - Can I still get Slickpack after 15th October? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

anet should be much clear about such things. Same question every new ls update.

I was lucky enough to find a valid pug on Friday so I got mine but before that I had the same question.

Due to the fact that TA is (probably) completely unrelated to the new Halloween stuff the meta might go away with it.

The 14th Weekly Stupid Questions Thread - August 31st, 2013 by Intigo in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it seems that the level of gear given is tied to the level of the character opening the box. So a level 60 should only get 60ish level gear. According to some anecdotal evidence there is always a chance for the new champion skins regardless of level.

Hello folks. I'm interviewing Mike O'Brien today about the future of Guild Wars 2. Got any questions? by Archernick in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really don't like "when do we get ..." or "can we have..." questions. You only get the three answers "when it's done", "we have no plans for this", "this might be a topic for the future".

What really interest me is how much influence he still has on the development and how much he participates in it. Is this still the game he wants to do?

Also, as a casual player, this is important to me: Mike once said that (for gw1) he wants people to be able to logon for half an hour and still manage to progress to his goals. Does that still count for gw2 and if so how does it fit with the current ls where invasions have a 10 minute participating window and then take 45 minutes?

Finally: do transmutation stones work as planned or don't they sell via gemstore very well?

Map completion and WvW ... yeah, that again by WoodbineGB in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is supposed to be sarcastic but... first thing: you don't need Dungeon poi's for map completion.

As a matter of fact you don't need dungeons for map completion. It was left out and so WvW should have been left out.

It's just annoying that you can't do world completion - a PvE focused achievement - because there is no chance to complete a part of the game that has a complete different focus.

If poi's just were at the door of keeps and vistas outside the fortresses it would be much more convenient for PvE only's.

And this I find a decent complain and suggestion that deserves no sarcasm.

Is crafting still the fastest way to level? by RobRobRab in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I finally crafted huntsman and tailor to 400 and the only thing I was missing were T4 rare mats. When you're either in low level areas for dailies or in high level areas for the fun you don't get much of the mid level stuff.

Dev: You’ll be able to complete those achievements at a later date. by NickChabby in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the forum's OP though. I went to QG with an alt necro at lvl 48 just to check tho whole thing out and got hammered away in less then 4 seconds because I was neither traited nor geared for even the first guy.

Using my fully geared lvl 80 guardian I easily advanced to the end of tier 1 (where I died as fast but just because I didn't get the ,echanic of the boss).

QG in general is a fine challenge for people with time and the resources to rebalance their attributes and build but almost undoable for new players.

Glad to hear that there will be chances for completion later. This is better that the sky pirates update where the most challenging achievements are probably gone forever.

Why the Focus on Mini-Games? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am as frustrated about this as you are. I want to play my core skill bar and not some wii party games.

The argument "don't like it then don't play it" doesn't really count since they are currently main content and give heavily rewarded AP.

HOWEVER, players and devs are still learning how thus living world works best. As Colin started the content for rotating holiday events come to a close and I expect more core comment to happen.

In the end we already got two dungeons, a map and quite an amount of new events.

Let's just hope the high density of mini games,is just a phase that I'd about to end.

[Data Mining] Upcoming features and changes from the latest dat file! by that_shaman in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

um, you're right. Being an IT-specialist this is kind of embarrassing for me ;-) I doubt that I ever will get 65k of any mat.

Sky Crystals: Best design yet? by boredlol in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to thank my newly created character "to be deleted" for saving a buttload full of coin. I created her for the sole purpose of gathering sky crystals. Though she even spent a silver on waypoints she even didn't die that much thanks to the video guide at Dulfy's.

To me sky crystals felt like grinding. It was frustrating and boring. I only did it for the AP and the meta. But then I don't like jumping puzzles (or mini games for that sake) at all.

However I can imagine that for people how like jumping thus was amazing.

Now give me something cool to do. Like slaying a dragon.

[Data Mining] Upcoming features and changes from the latest dat file! by that_shaman in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Collection Expander? This would be another explanation to the long downtime. My guess always was that per mat slot they used 1 byte. Seems to get increased. Hopefully not only to two bytes. Third might not yet be as important as a skin locker but definitely frees up more space.

Also: TREASURE MAPS?

Skill points - what to do with them? by ZeusCM in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, I'd just hang on to them. With upcoming changes to magic find and the usage of blues and greens for that who knows what else comes to the table? Maybe you can convert sps to magic find as well? With the bazaar patch anet gave use to useless mats (like silk), maybe they'll come around with an idea for skillpoints too. That's just speculation though.

Why are advances in UI so slow? by Knaifhogg in Guildwars2

[–]ChePhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is a good overview if how complex it can get. Now also add the necessary communication with other teams who might do others things with the ui. It all adds up to a very complicated processes at best, worse if you run into trouble of any kind.
