 * How odd. I would notify support but their answer is always the same, wait a week then download some piece of software to my pc that they never explain the uses of. I refuse to download software that is unknown to my computer. Rogueonion 22:05, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

No love for Lyssa?
So this Wintersday costumes are for followers of Balthazar and Melandru (I think they are great, not complaining about that)... leaving Lyssa as the only (original) god without a costume for her followers... and by the time of next wintersday GW2 is supposed to be on our computers... why no love for the goddes of lovers? Lokheit 22:28, 16 December 2010 (UTC) They look great to me. I'm not sure what you mean by "more spetacular" but I wouldn't be wanting animated flames with every costume I get, and I wouldn't expect to look like a sylvari with Melandru's. They match the avatar forms rather nicely while still giving them a unique look imo. Although the Melandru headpieces do look a little... weird. Better than getting this as a costume. -- Konig / talk 11:20, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You're forgetting the first commandment. ;) Sardaukar  [[Image:User_Sardaukar_sig.png]] 22:47, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey now, Lyssa gets half of Elona to worship her! Poor Melandru hasn't gotten a thing in five and a half years, and it's about time they showed her some love!!  :D 128.113.201.222 22:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing Lyssa and the other goddess will get a costume next year. I have been asking for costumes for all the gods ever since we got Grenth and Dwayna's costumes... And I have to say, I'm terribly disappointed with the new costumes. Balthazar and Melandru deserved something more spetacular. Erasculio  22:31, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I quite agree. Specifically, the Melandru costume doesn't really seem to fit with her Planty-ness. ThrainUser_Thrain_Sig.png contribs 22:35, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well it could be more druid like but try to dye it green. But it's better than a big tree.Damysticreaper 22:38, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I actually rather like the Melandru costume. Well, for females, anyway. It has a nice 'Sylvari'-vibe to it. The mask is kinda meh though, I'll agree. It's the reverse story for the Balthazar costume! - Zaxares 07:00, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * "Balthazar and Melandru deserved something more spetacular."
 * I mean exactly what spectacular means. Not a big glowing purple ball (I don't like animations in those costumes), but rather something more impressive and imposing. Balthazar's body piece is ok, although it's far less intricate than the actual Avatar of Balthazar. I wished the head piece were better looking, closer to the avatar instead of being a mix of the aspect of the lich and a deer. The Melandru's costume is somewhat nonsensical, though - those things look more like feathers than leaves, and looking like a giant parrot has little to do with Melandru. They could have used more or less the same look and claim it's actually Lyssa's costume, or something like that. I wished the costume looked more like the Melandru concept art, or at least had a stronger tier to the goddess it's trying to represent. Erasculio  15:48, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm satisfied with both sets in terms of quality, and I quite like the Balthazar set in particular. The only parts I probably would've changed which I don't think fit very well with the rest of the set are the clasped leather parts. Otherwise I think it reflects the glory of the god of war rather well. --Adul 11:03, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

The Wedding quest
Does anyone know what to do, the quest is empty and the map just highlights the hall of monuments -- 'Mai Yi ' talk  23:11, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keiran can't be added to the Hall of Monuments as is--he likely has an alternate armor set. I don't want to waste my armor pieces, so does anybody have screenshots of him in whichever ones are available for him? 128.113.201.222 00:01, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Called it. &mdash; User_Poki_sig.png Poki#3  (talk ) 01:20, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * How can he be a paragon after all this time as a ranger? Somebody please explain... --Musha [[Image:User_Musha_Sigc.png|19px]] 02:12, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Did you play the solo missions where you took control of him, Musha? In the last two, he gains Paragon skills "Find Their Weakness!" and "There's Nothing to Fear!" (if I remember correctly), albeit with unique numbers.  Basically Hearts of the North implies that Keiran became a Paragon by personally becoming a "leader" through all his trials. 128.113.201.222 02:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * They should add an elementalist hero sometime. I know you can only use 3 heroes at once (for the time being, hurr). But there's only three, and there's four elements. See the problem here? –Jette 03:11, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * And the 4th ele is supposed to be you. You + Hero1 + Hero2 + Hero3 = 4 elements. 173.32.190.24 03:50, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I was hoping for a 4th Elementalist Hero myself, but at least a 3rd Paragon Hero still has a distinct role they can fulfil (Command, Motivation, Spear Mastery). I can't say that I'm pleased at Thackeray being the new Hero though. Never really liked the guy. :P - Zaxares 07:15, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't believe my prediction was right XDD Yay for paragon Keiran <3 89.156.30.197 11:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Cause a 4th Ele would be wasted? Honestly, do you ever use all 3 ele heros with the hench healers?--Neithan Diniem User Neithan Diniem Sig.png]] 23:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The point is so that you don't need to switch their equipment to have access to all four elements. –Jette 23:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Bug?



 * Bug? - Lucian Shadowborn  [[Image:User_Lucian Shadowborn.png|19px]] 03:34, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * ...no. one is a hero, one is a npc. its like bringing gwen to hom, dunk/koss to command post, etc.– User Balistic B d-dark.png<font color="#7777cc">alistic 03:55, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see how this is a bug. The game only assigns a default name to a hero if they share the name of an NPC in the same area. Since they don't share a name, no default name is given. 98.200.89.19 03:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If you bring Gwen to HoM, she shows as Vanguard Mesmer. Dunkoro and koss also are Sunspear Warrior and Sunspear Monk. It's supposed to be the same person. - Lucian Shadowborn  [[Image:User_Lucian Shadowborn.png|19px]] 04:13, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * yea but the above all share the same name and like ip said the npc and the hero names are not the same--madhatter 11:26, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It's something of an anomaly, to be honest. Not really a bug, 'cause of how the game is structured (they're different NPCs). Having one person in two points of space at the exact same time is something of a paradox. Zetta 12:02, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I noticed that as well, agree that it's an anomaly and not a bug. 128.113.201.222 14:26, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Same anomaly: [[File:SD-2-keiran.png]] only in snowball dominance. Idmz 19:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, at least name him Vanguard Paragon whenever other Thakeray is present. Who cares if they're not the same exact name, they're meant to be the same person. - Lucian Shadowborn  [[Image:User_Lucian Shadowborn.png|19px]] 23:26, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

 * If you have Morgahn named GENERAL Morgahn, you could have Keiran hero named Lieutenant Thackeray as there is a precedent. This way you have the coincidence in names and force him to change into Vanguard Paragon. Lokheit 14:08, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

<BR> What about when they have the exact same name. Vezz 20:44, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Why is the whole name thing such a big deal? Really, if anything it is the fact that they look exactly the same that bothers me, like having 2xVekk in your party, sure they give one a different name, but you still know he is the same guy 82.169.222.223 21:55, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

rift warden quests are too hard
rift warden quests are to hard. even reading all the tips here and elsewhere eg loading rock and yellow snow before pulling a mob and using snowfort then the heal, I still die trying to get to the boss because the mobs stay together and I cant get one or spawn to fast when Im low on health, and once I get to the boss both  heal and I cant out dps them and I stand and die or run away to heal but then the boss heals too. should not have to spend hours and hours to do a special event quests. Im level 20 and mobs are level 15. if I could keeps my own skills and build that would be cool I could win then but everthing changes when I enter mission area. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 174.55.168.168 (talk).

Okay well firstly I don't see why they don't have a normal danm forum instead o f having to do feedback through a wiki. What a PITA!

But that aside, the Wintersday quests from the Rift Warden are WAY TOO HARD! I'm level 20 with decentish gear and I have a hard time even getting to the boss in each quest! Even with all tips and tricks I've read, took me 23 trys ( I counted!) to finish "In Grenth's Defense" and although I lost count, I was something like 6 hours ("You've been playing for 6 hours. Please take a break.") trying to finish "You're a mean one, Mr. Grenth"!!! This is absolutely ridiculous! It doesn't have to be piss easy but it should NOT be this hard either! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 174.55.168.168 (talk).

1. look on a way how to do it (strategy, guides.) 2. There is a forum, guild wars guru, theirs a few others also. 3. Sign your comments with four ~'s. --Blast 18:34, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
