That's only the case, when there is no mastery-bar at the front. With a full mastery-bar at the front, you will only see the level-up animation and a spirit shard at the right side of the screen where the loot is shown.

Yes, after all unlocked mastery-bars of the region are filled (doesn't matter if selected or not), the XP goes into the normal 254k XP-bar. It's just hidden as long as there are missing visible masteries (doesn't matter, if it's because of missing mastery-points or other locks like the current LS have).

As far as I can remember a dev once said, that they also check pet- and guild-names, if a player is reported for an inappropriate name. Don't know, if that's still true. You can also try to report it via a support-ticket, maybe they can tell you the right way to handle it.

I did not, and never did, suggested the training to be as realistic as possible. Just one golem that can be pushed/cc and no more, no less. If anyone else want to experience buggy floor, annoying npcs, they can attempt the actual encounter itself. > > However, i do agree with your suggestion on practicing pushing skills in OW. Will definitely give that a try. No, I see your point, but I think, that just a clean room with only a golem to push is too far away from a realistic setting, to be usefull for training.

> @"Heisen.7248" said: > Hi, so my main account is on Gandara and this account is on Piken Square, the amount of custom maps in the Game Browser are 5 respective 20+, aren't custom games supposed to be across the entire EU server? Yes they are shared between all servers. Have you set any filters on the left side or the gearwheel on the top right side?

You can also train by using your push skills at OW-events like many good bearbow-rangers do. A feedback system is already included, the more hate in chat, the better your push-skills are. (Sorry, but that was the first thing that came to my mind ;) ) But serious now, in my opinion the biggest problem with pushing are the up to 9 other players and bugs. So to make the training realistic, you would also need npcs who cast random skills (including CC) on your target and a bugged floor for the KC-training.

Sadly it's an old bug that hasn't been fixed till now, it happens mostly on crowded maps or maps with performance-problems. There is a "solution", but it's an expensive one, because it normally doesn't happen, if you use gem-shop mountskins, as they load the default one asap before they completely load.

You can already choose in the options between your Local Time, the Server Time (= UTC) and the Tyrian Time (ingame 2h day-night cycle). So if people want to use UTC, they already have this option, no need to force everyone to use it.

> @"Lectryk.2964" said: > I completed the 3 weapons collections (Scion's Claw, Eclipse, Favor of the Colossus) when they were released a while back. I still have the unbound great sword and torch in my bank inventory, but I cannot find the sword anywhere, in the bank or on any character. I must have tossed or mystic forged it and not remember. Can I go through the steps in the collection again to re-forge/acquire it? > > Thanks. No, but you should have unlocked the skin with the collection anyway. Exotic swords aren't hard to get, if you need it, because its stats are selectable, you can e.g. look at the Vision of the Past achievments (Cinder Steeltemper's Footsteps).

> @"Aphrodite.9071" said: > https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Well_(decoration).jpg > That is the one , but for as far as i know it can only be crafted the Lost Precipice Guilhall so i would like to switch From Windswept Haven Guildhall to the Lost Precipice Guildhall to craft those wells there , but when i would have enough wells then i would like to switch back after some time to the Windswept Haven Guildhall but only if i am absolutely sure that i can place my newly crafted wells there . :) > And yes we are lvl 40 with our GH and have the neccesary upgrades :) The well can't be crafted, it's sold by Sigurlina Jonsdottir. It's a RNG-item in the 3rd Tab (you will need "Guild Trader 4" to unlock it). It's RNG, so it may need some days (or more) till you get the right offer. If you switch the halls you will keep all decorations and can also use them in your new hall.

> @"Aphrodite.9071" said: > Hi , i have noticed that i can craft a well/waterpit in the GH Lost Precipice something i cannot craft in our current GH Windswept Haven , now my question is ... if we change our GH to Lost Precipice for some time and i craft the wells/waterpit and then change back to our Windswept Haven GH , can i also place the crafted wells/waterpit in Windswept haven or are some decorations GH restricted ? And if so what can be crafted in the Gilded Hollow GH that is strictly for that GH ? Thx in advance & Happy Holiday's ;) Hi, I don't know about any crafting restrictions for the different Guild Halls. Can you tell me the exact name of the decorations you are missing at Windswept Haven, so I can try it myself. If you mean the fountains, does your decoration merchant have the right level (3) to buy the basic decoration?

The instances get filled till they are closed. It would be a good change to deactivate joining old instances, but I don't know, if they will ever fix this system. Till then, better wait and don't rejoin, you should get a new map after it's finished.

It seems they just called the Minimap "Compass" in the Dynamic HUD-Setting, so that's the toggle for it and not a bug.,

> @"Gusko.2584" said: > Well, I'd call false advertising, if the item clearly states that it allows selection from all outfits and yet, there's a whole bunch of them missing by now (including the one recently removed). > What doesn't make sense to me, is why that one and why now.

> @"Sarpan.9074" said: > I am new to WvW and playing it mainly for the Warclaw for now. I'm about half-way through the reward track and have put some points into defensive abilities to help a little with surviving as a low-level player. I am thinking about resetting points and moving them to the Warclaw track when I get it. If resetting removes all points, does that affect the Warclaw since the point in its mastery goes away? If you own the warclaw and reset the points, you just can't use it or its abilities till you add the points again.

> @"Carnius Magius.8091" said: > > @"Jilora.9524" said: > > Sounds like lag or desynch more then a bug. I only can relate to this in WvW on the rare occasion I chase someone and have this happen and sometimes they are sitting on their mount like a echo but the aren't really there because they lagged off or were d/c as I was chasing them. > > I've seen that escorting dolyaks in WvW. This was nothing like that. I couldn't get one hit from the moment I opened the chest. I believe the skritt won't drop any lost loot unless it gets hit. I wasn't experiencing any lag before or after on the same map. I have never seen this bug before, but yes, if you can't hit the, they won't drop anything, because they only drop the bags, if their hp reach a given value (three small bags and one large when they are defeated).

No, it won't reset, it's 15k for daylie and the former monthly combined. You can see your numbers, if you hover over the number at the top left at your achievment-panel in the hero-menu.

Do you really need full ascended for training? At least the training-groups/-communities I know are okay, if only weapons and trinkets are asc or don't care at all, as long as the performance isn't bad. As there is no gear-check in this game, guess even most LI-/KP-groups won't see the difference as long as your performance isn't too far behind other group-members.

> @"jahaan.1405" said: > But how do you use it? I keep clicking on it in my inventory standing outside the puzzle, under the puzzle, inside the puzzle. What is the command or whatever to get it to work. It just keeps saying "There's nothing here." I'm not sure how it works, because I only used one and that was too long ago. But I think the skyscale runs towards you, and you still have to interact with it. Which puzzle do you want to complete? Normally it should work over the whole map, only if there are two on the same, you should need to be closer.

Afaik this are not their real keys, but a bug that happend some time, especially when gw1 accounts moved to gw2. You cant even enter a key like this as acc-name, because "-" is forbidden. You can find people with such names on the forum too sometimes.

> @"Onlyflameone.2136" said: > Does the ArcDPS work where I test my rotations and builds? I am in some PvP lobby teleport then from there teleport to some dummie zone where there are also different profession nps too, will it work there? No, this map (Heart of the Mists / PvP-Lobby) is flagged as PvP and so arc won't work there, sry.

Just to add one thing because you want a dps-meter for PvP, arcdps only works in PvE and WvW. One of anets rules for the creators of dps-meters was, that they can't be used in PvP, so arc is automatically disabled on the PvP-maps (including Heart of the mists etc.).
