Hope they fix the database bug soon, can't create new characters or buy/sell on the TP atm. My friend just bought the game and can't play, luckily he's very understanding so he's not wanting a refund :P

It just happened today, not sure when but must have been after midday GMT, if you tried to buy it said that no items matched your order and if you tried to sell it said you had to upgrade your account from a trial. I thought it was just me but it was all anyone was talking about in Lion's Arch! Might be fixed now, just going back on.

Oh yea... If anyone has any karma consumables piled up, you better use them now with all the boosters stacked up that you can before they re-add the change that disables that tomorrow.

So it appears the ascended skins aren't that great: http://dulfy.net/2013/09/03/gw2-ascended-weapon-skins-gallery/

 

I really like the shield. Beyond that the axe, the main weapon I use on my warrior, looks like a toy. Very disappointing. Everything else looks good especially the pistols.  I guess I'll resume my quest to make Frostfang.

 

Anyhow, I figure I'll have my first ascended weapon within 5 days. Maybe as quickly as 3 depending on how well I can get dragonite.

 

Edit: I miscounted. It might take a manimum of 6 days.

 

And if anyone is wanting to collect their own orichalcum and acient logs try these 2 websites for maps:

 

www.orrmaps.com

www.gw2nodes.com

 

They are community driven.

 

And a handy website that has an even more handy overly is

 

www.gw2stuff.com

 

This will tell you the timer on the temples and all the world bosses for all EU and NA servers. This one is using the GW2 api so it's taking it's information directly from the game servers. So you should be able to consider it accurate up to a few seconds.

 

Also the overlay from that site has no actual interaction with your game client so you don't need to worry about getting banned for using it.

Yea, gw2stuff is pretty good, been using it for months. The actual accuracy between server and site i'd say is about 20-30 seconds though. As for their overlay, eh, i don't use it. But that's because i always start the game via steam and as such i just use the steam web browser

And a lot of the open world bosses are getting redone. Which should be interesting considering the recent new reasons to go after them.

 

Eh, i find that bit harder to be excited about as i know how bad the average player is(simply getting out of death circles is too hard for many). Their general badness will translate into less loot, and less money.

So i am disappointed by how they were apparently unable to deliver the lfg tool on time.

 

They did deliver it. Just not to everyone. I can understand why they are doing it the way they are. They don't want a repeat of the market from the first 2 months after the games release. I think most of us blocked that horrible experience from memory.

 

I am however disappointed that I didn't get access to it. I was hoping they would give priority access to people with older accounts. Specifically people who had head start accounts. I don't see anything wrong with them doing that.

Then they didn't deliver it. We were initially told to expect a usable lfg tool on the 17th on the release preview page. Not to expect an unfinished beta for the 'privileged few' that will be open for everyone 'when the feel like it' like they later decided to turn around and say. The fact that they couldn't finish it, and are clearly unprepared for people to use it when they are over a year late in delivering this(it should've been there at launch) is ridiculous.

So went on to play last night and it came up with the e-mail verification so went onto my e-mail but there was nothing there, gave it 10 mins or so but still didn't receive one so thought I'd go on the forums only to realise that it requires the authentication as well. Scouted around a bit and found a way to reset your password or remove the authentication so followed the link on the knowledge base, entered my details and was presented with this.

As you can see I can't click the button to disable the authentication so thought I'd try the password reset just to see if I could get that e-mail at least... nope.  So I sent an e-mail asking for help with it but still haven't heard back from them, was just wondering if anyone had any ideas?

 

Ohh also I've checked my spam and I'm using live mail.

So it seems like next week is just a new path in Twilight arbor and.... not much else. But i guess that's better than the new pointless tequatl and its 90+% fail rate.

 

I hear that. I gave up after 4 tries on him. So many issues make it not even worth the effort. And then when you finally do manage to kill him.. greens and blues.

 

I'm super excited for reskinned weapons that no one uses though. Sign me up for some of that.

Free trial going on from September 27th until October 3rd. It's the longest trial period they've done yet. This trial kind of snuck in under the radar. I remember reading about it last week but I thought it was a bit further down the road.

 

Get your friends who still haven't tried the game to sign up here!
