(Giveaway) Operation Repair Faith

Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:55 AM PDT

Good evening fellow GW2 players,

I´m guessing many people got disappointed by the promised 21 Legendary give away. And because of that trust in the GW2 community got slightly damaged. And to be honest we cant have that, so to fix that damage the best I can I want to do a small give away myself.

Since I am not mega rich or have a endless credit card in real life I cannot top or equal the former give away of 21 legendaries. So my give away will include this 1 Legendary of choice to 1 winner (I will craft this 1 myself so Eternity is of the table). And I will give away 25 Equinox weapons of choice away to 25 other people.

Entering is very easy just enter your account name with those .4 numbers and that's it. Il close the entry of the giveaway in 24 hours. After I picked the winner i will add screenshots in this post Winners get picked by a random generator.

If you got any questions hit me up here and I'll answer in anyway I can.

Cheers and good luck,

Kung Fu Tea -- Removed Free reward?

Posted: 03 Sep 2018 05:15 PM PDT

After an hour of trying, I finally got the app to load the rewards page: it now says "Win a free Drink ($5) & Guild wars 2: Deluxe Edition" and nothing else.

I connected both Facebook and twitter, but " FREE Guild Wars 2 Rewards! " is nowhere to be found.

I'd bet you a dollar that they temporarily removed the reward until they figure out how to get these "hackers" (exploiting players) under control.

Herald Facet of Nature - Timing and other Legends

Posted: 03 Sep 2018 11:31 AM PDT

Hey there!

We've been working with u/BackIsBachus on finding out what's going on with the new Facet of Nature. We've looked into how FoN - Glint works and here is more on the entire skill.

More on FoN - Glint

First of all, we found out some more stuff on how FoN - Glint works. We've done some more testing in order to find out whether the boon duration the buff gives was additive or multiplicative with the source's boon duration. In order to test, we had a Mesmer with about 50% boon duration and a Herald who had FoN - Glint active. The objective was to share Might through the use of Signet of Inspiration (SoI). As the base duration is 20 sec, with 50% boon duration, the duration of the SoI might share is 30 sec. We ended up with 34 sec shared which pointed to an additive buff (as a multiplicative would have given 36 sec).

This is probably linked to the reason that makes this buff limited by the 100% boon duration cap that we noted in our previous research.

Then, we wanted to test the timing between Facets when they're applied. To understand completely what we did here's a quick sum up of how facets work :

  • When you activate a Facet, you instantly share its buff.
  • Every 3 sec, ALL of your Facets share their buff. The timing for this is every 3 seconds since the first Facet was activated.

So now, what I was interested in was to understand in which order facets are applied when they're supposed to simultaneously share their buff. To give some context, if I had to classify myself as a player, I would say I'm a WvW player and there you usually have buffs that overflow (not even counting Draconic Echo). So if someone new gets your buffs, I wanted to know if they'd get the 20% bonus or not upon receiving the buff.

In order to test, I used a target that would receive the buffs, activate my facets (FoN and FoStrength) from out of range and then move into range, noting the duration of the applied buff.

I could not get any consistent results. In some cases, the FoN buff would be applied before and I would see 16sec might stacks, in some cases, the FoN buff would be applied after and I would see 13sec might stacks.

I've tried many scenarii :

  • Activating FoN before FoS
  • Activating FoS before FoN
  • Being in combat
  • Being out of combat
  • Being in different instances (Aerodrome's training zone, Aerodrome, WvW, Open world maps)
  • Being naked or with armor/weapons

No matter what, I could not figure out what caused the results to change. Maybe it's random, maybe it depends on internet speed, maybe it's God's doing. Your guess is as good as mine.

True Nature - Ventari and Shiro

I'm not going to spend too much time on those as they turned out to be pretty classic skills. The FoN numbers have been worked out by u/MajesticNoodle here. I just wanted to know whether these skills would remove buffs/condis according to a priority list or the last one applied. Turns out for both, they remove the last 2 buffs or condis applied. So nothing special really.

FoN - Mallyx

Here again, I was interested in finding out if the condi pull was ordered or if it pulled only the last condi applied. In order to work that out, I used the preview golem in the Training Area (I then made sure the results were the same on player characters). The condis are pulled in the following order :

  1. Frost
  2. Blind
  3. Slow
  4. Torment
  5. Burn
  6. Fear
  7. Immobile
  8. Confusion
  9. Weakness
  10. Cripple
  11. Poison
  12. Bleed and Vulnerability

N.B. 1 : I couldn't test with taunt as it is not available on the golem.

N.B. 2 : Bleed and Vulnerability have the same priority ranking, so if they're the only two condis that you can pull, you'll get the last one that was applied.

Edit 1 : It seems that the tooltip says that only damaging condis should be transfered to you, this isn't true.

Edit 2 : When transfering condis from allies to you, you count as one of the targets, but you won't pull a condi from yourself onto yourself. That means that if you have a condi and 5 (or more) other allies have condis, you'll transfer a condi from 4 of them to you, not from 5. (I was able to test this thanks to 6 friends from [DK], a French WvW guild, so many thanks to them ^^)

TN - Mallyx

Here as well, I wanted to know whether the condi transfered were following a priority list or if the two last condi applied were transfered. I ended up finding that the skill actually works in two separate parts :

  1. It copies 2 condis onto nearby enemies following a priority list
  2. It removes the 2 last condis that were applied to you

What that means is that you might apply condis that you are not removing from yourself. Also, even if there are no ennemies nearby, you'll still remove 2 condis from you.

For the 1st part, I pulled all the condis I could from the Training Area Golem (using FoN - Mallyx). I then used TN onto the ennemy golem. Then restarted without one of the two condis I had applied. I looped always removing the condi higher in the priority list. I ended up with this priority list (once again, I couldn't test with taunt) :

  1. Fear and Weakness (If you have these two condis, you'll always copy those, I couldn't order these two)
  2. Frost
  3. Blind
  4. Cripple
  5. Slow
  6. Torment
  7. Immobile
  8. Vulnerability
  9. Burn
  10. Confusion
  11. Poison
  12. Bleed

It happens that this seems to be the same priority list Plague Signet uses to transfer conditions. I might be wrong, since I did not run extensive research on Plague Signet, but trying a few times seemed to confirm this theory.

Conclusion - TL;DR

There's still a lot I'm not sure about and I'd love to run some more research, but alas, the week-end has come to an end. What we do know, though, is that FoN - Glint works in some mysterious ways to give 20% additive (to the source's boon duration) boon duration, FoN - Mallyx pulls condis according to a priority list (the same as Plague signet it seems), and TN - Mallyx has two components : 1 - it copies condis according to a priority list (again it seems to be the same as Plague Signet) and 2 - it removes the two most recently applied condis.

If you have any idea on why FoN - Glint seems to synchronize randomly, or anything to answers the remaining questions, I'd love to hear about it ;)Still, I personnally feel like this was rolled out before they could actually finish it. The uninformative tooltips, the skills that feel like other skills weirdly stitched up together,... It all feels like they rushed in this rework for some reason, which I think is a shame.

But anyway, thank you for reading, I hope this was useful to you in some way, or at least interesting :)

My pup and I

Posted: 03 Sep 2018 07:15 AM PDT

Hello beloved GW2 community and Anet!

Allow me to share this snippet of my GW2 career. This is part of my gaming life in Tyria that has taken hold of my heart and will not let go, so I thought I'd share it with you good people.

Many years ago, my then girlfriend now wife, gifted me with a beagle. I lived alone for a long time and in a conservative country, my gf couldn't live with me. Bless her heart, the pup gave life to my lonely living space. He saved me from boredom and loneliness so I named him Hero. I raised him from puphood to adulthood but he grew too energetic and noisy for my condo unit. So, with a heavy heart, I sent him to my parent's place in the province where he can run all he wants. This is where things took a turn for the worse. One day, after Hero's regular run outside my parents' place, he didn't come home. My parents searched for him for days and after a few weeks they found him dead by some bushes with two huge holes in his neck from a venomous snakebite. I was devastated. I was planning on bringing him back with me when I could purchase a bigger place after my wife and I tied the knot. That is no longer possible suffice to say.

Weeks later, and to my delight, Anet released the beagle mini, I bought that thing so fast I entered my CC details wrong 3 times. I couldn't care less about the other minis bundled with it. I promptly named it Hero, so at least, even just in Tyria, I could pretend to go out adventuring with him. https://imgur.com/UgZU1LV

GW2 Hero and I have been through a lot ingame now. Brought down Mordy, Balthazar, Joko, countless minions and of course, a helluva lot of players in WvW (Aiming for that max kill achievement!). That said, thank you Anet for this wonderful game. Thank you beloved guildmates and GW2 community for giving me a chance, even if its just pretend, to go out adventuring with my little Hero. He and I will be roaming Borderlands and Eternal Battlegrounds for years to come! https://imgur.com/kTF4EXr

Not bitching on it but personally I think that Twitch drops was a better option instead of Kung Fu Tea.

Posted: 02 Sep 2018 11:23 PM PDT

Honestly I think we could have received mystic coins, gold or some awesome weapon / armor skins as reward if Anet had chosen Twitch instead of KFT.

Honestly I would have preferred to connect my Guild Wars 2 account with Twitch, see someone's livestream for 30 minutes and know that I would receive something good for that, instead of all the drama that the app caused.

I do not complain (don't think bad), I received my code, but in reality I feel bad for all the people who are still trying to receive their codes since hours.

Guide for Kung Fu Tea Promotion

Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:33 AM PDT

Guide for Kung Fu Tea Promotion

CURRENTLY (9PM CENTRAL TIME September 3) THE PROMOTION IS NOT WORKING

I've attempted to get the codes again, as many of you guys were able to get through several of the steps before getting stopped due to "Claim Guild Wars 2 Digital Content" not appearing in the rewards section. So, to see this for myself I went through the steps and was halted by the same wall. I tried several times across several different devices using different accounts, to see if it was just limited to one specific area, but it was the same across all devices and accounts.

- I was able to snag an ipad mini from a friend, but the app didn't even launch, it just kept crashing lol

Image of the digital rewards not showing up

Kung Fu Tea has also implemented a system to stop people from exploiting this promotion get loads of codes

- You can only register 2 Kung Fu Tea accounts per device

- I've tried re-installing the app, clear cache and memory, but it looks like if you want to exploit this you're going to have to call up support and ask them to add more Kung Fu Tea accounts to your device lol

Image Showing how you can only register 2 accounts per device

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wouldn't necessarily call this a guide, as it doesn't work every time, but this is how I got the codes from the promotion.

I COULD NOT GET THE "Dragon Emblem Clothing Outfit" on an IOS Tablet as I was unable to scroll down to screenshot the code (like the message was stuck and I couldn't scroll down)

- LOWER YOUR FONT SIZE IF YOU CAN NOT SEE BOTH CODES AND ARE UNABLE TO SCROLL DOWN

- This should allow you to see both codes (from what I have read)

What devices I had success with:

- You can get the codes from both platforms (IOS or android)

- I was unable to get the codes to show up for an android phone, but was able to get the promotion to work on an android tablet

- I wasn't able to try it on an apple phone, but it did work on an apple tablet

Steps:

1. Download the app and create a Kung Fu Tea account (I'm sure most of you have done this already lol)

2. Link a social media account (I wasn't able to get Instagram to link at all, so use FACEBOOK)

- Go to "Social Rewards" -> "Profile" -> "Connect Social Media Accounts"

- You will have to attempt to connect your account multiple time, just keep trying until it works

- You can tell your social media (Facebook) is linked when it displays your Facebook "name" Ex: Billy Bob

- Your Facebook name will be located in: "Social rewards" -> "Profile" , above "Connect Social Media Accounts"

- When connecting your Facebook account DO NOT CLOSE THE APP

- If you close your app on android while connecting it, Facebook will display that it's linked, but IT'S NOT. You can tell because it doesn't display your name above "Connect Social Media Accounts"

3. Once connected navigate yourself to the "Rewards" section in "Social Rewards". When you get there start to spam reload (swiping up with your finger or other meaty objects) until the rewards page is displaying rewards to claim or participate in

4. Now that the rewards are finally displayed tap "Claim Guild Wars 2 Digital Content" (Sorry I don't know what the name of this is exactly as I don't want to repeat this process again as it was a lengthy one"

- You will have to REPEAT STEP 4 MULTIPLE TIMES (or at least that's what I did) until the "Claim Guild Wars 2 Digital Content" tab is gone

5. Once the tab for claiming the content is gone, there should be a little notification number on your profile tab in the social rewards section

- Once in the profile section the "Messages" section should have a number next to it indicating how many codes you have gotten

6. Click on "Messages" and wait for them to load in

- The messages might not load in right away, the codes showed up right away on apple, but for the android tablet the messages didn't show up until the next day

- With that being said if they don't show up, check again later or the next day

THE MESSAGES WILL DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR "MESSAGES" TAB ONCE YOU OPEN THEM, SO SCREENSHOT THEM AT FIRST CHANCE

- I was unable to load the messages in 10 minutes after I opened them and screenshoted the codes inside; Once the 10 minutes or so were up the codes were gone

So I had a 66% success rate, but I received much more than just two codes:

17 Codes on the android tablet

4 Codes on the apple tablet

- This was all from one attempt on each device (Android phone, android tablet, apple tablet), it took about 1-2 hours to complete. It would have still taken me the same amount of time if I only did it on one device, but I didn't want to have a 0% success rate

I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY OF THE CODES I HAVE GOTTEN WORK because I saw that people were getting banned for using them (mostly new accounts is what people are saying, but I never tend to be the first one to jump into the water as it could prove to be a problem, let other people test it out before you)

Yeah, it's broken...

Edit: Promotion not working at the moment

Solo Skorvald CM - this time faster [07:50] - Power Chrono

Some months ago /u/striderFUN discovered that with proper positioning you can prevent Skorvald from using his teleport-attack. By doing this and interrupting his 3rd Surge of the Mists in phase 2 I managed to save more than 2 minutes compared to my first solo kill (my goal was sub 8min).

Switching from Leadership to Scholar runes had a big impact as well.

Anyone know where one can get a custom GW2 character statue made?

Posted: 03 Sep 2018 12:35 PM PDT

Hi guys. My brother and I have been playing GW and GW2 since the original released, and it is my brother's favorite game. He calls it his second home, and I thought for Christmas it would be cool to get him a little statue of his mesmer, his main character. Anyone know of anyone who can make them, or who I can get ahold of to maybe get one made? Thanks!

Pretty please fix nameplates blocking ground targeting!

Here's a video showing what i'm talking about. Nameplates are completely opaque to ground targeting, and if you attempt to initiate a ground target while mousing over a creatures nameplate, the skill will be cast at your position instead of theirs.

I've also posted about it here on the official forums.
