This isn't working for me or one of my fellow officers anymore. Anyone else notice that too? We can still ping everything else. I'll report it after this run if others are having the same problem.

Also in 2 UW runs I couldn't find a chest. Not anywhere near smites, in the chamber, or near the mayor/colds past him.

Out of roughly 100 dual runs I've done I've never failed to find a chest. At least with exceptions to the times I screwed up and died early on. Also I've never failed to find a chest in any trap group or full party group I've done. I realize they don't always spawn in the same place, which is why we went further than just the smites. The only place I didn't check was near the trapper worms so that is a possiblity but normally at least 2-3 chests spawn per map. Or so I've normally found.

Anyways I reported the pinging problem. I guess if the chests are really an issue it will be brought up later. It is possible that it was just a wierd 2 runs, seeing as the first I got a ruby, and the 2nd we had 3 ecto drop from our first 2 smite groups.

i did 100 uw runs in my first week of a 55 monk... and i seriously doubt 2 runs is a big enough test to say there are no chests spawning

@cata

eh well most 55/SS groups stop right after they kill the smites. My guild mates and I don't, which may have alot to do with it.

@MadKing

well considering its the first 2 runs out the 100 or so I've done without chests spawning. Not to mention it happened right after an update.... just saying

You people do realize there is always a fixed number of chests per map? There is always 5 chests in the Deep, I've always found 3 chests in Grenths footprint, can't remember if its 2 or 3 in Whitman's. I'm not sure the exact number in UW because I never go near the trapper worms and I know the chests show up there sometimes.

The # of chests is fixed its just where they are and whether they are gold or purple that is random.

exactly there is a fixed number of chests and spawn near similar locations... maby they were in the part you didnt go...?

and like i said doing 2 runs in uw isnt really a valid test to say chests arnt spawning

Went to the Uw straight after the update and came across two chests, the usual one ontop of the hill in the corner in the iced wastes where the second dying nightmare hangs out and a lucky one at the icewastes reaper. (didnt go to the vale though)

There is not always chests in the Icewastes or Forgotten Vale. I have done many runs over the last year and a bit where there have been none in those two areas.

This is meant to be a dicussion about pinging HP and Energy, why the hack are we now talking about UW dual runs and chests

Get back on topic.

I can't say I've encountered a problem where I couldn't ping my energy, but I haven't been online for about 7 hours.

*looks around to see if RTSFirebat is looking and then whispers* but chests don't always spawn in the duo run area of UW, nothing strange there.

*edit*
Just read on GuildWiki that since the new update, you can't ping health or energy:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Game_updates

As a side note, I just realized that they padded the | character so you can't make solid boxes out of them. A.k.a. zOMG A-net Nerfed our t-shirts /|||\ <~~*tear*

It's probably unintentional. Things of this nature have happened with previous patches. Although I hate it when this happens, ANet usually fixes it soon.

Aye, no pinging here iether. Bad thing when you need juice from your battery or need your group to chill a bit while you regen you energy. Hope ANet fixes this ASAP.

leaders like it when you ping at full energy too...so they know you are ready, and its lots easier than typing 'ready' or something like that.....

I think it's just a bug.
They did some interface improvements in preparation for the event and may have broke this by an accident
And wammos can still spam their "I'm weilding sundering something of fortitude and a green shield"

Or when warriors ping their energy in the middle of a fight, as if they expect me to run over to their fight and BR them..

Sorry, monks, eles, and other casters in that order. Warriors and Rangers will just have to manage on their own.

Hope they fix it soon.....

I would just like them to make it so you can't spam them like crazy. hitting it once or twice is fine, but you dont' need to fill the screen with your low health/energy.

especially if that warrior is using Mending on himself. Sometimes I wish you could strip your own teamates enchantments

This is a bug, and we apologize for the confusion. We have a new build baking just now, and as soon as it is cooled and frosted, we'll serve a slice to everyone.

I know it's off topic, but there are a coulple of other bugs. One is the morale boost: it gets reapplied (not increasing though) almost each time i kill a normal monster.

Also, entering Arborstone from tanglewood copse sometimes sends you back in arborstone without even entering tanglewood.

Last thing: most animations/sounds don't work on the first try, only on the second.

All the above are things I experienced. Pls everyone (except Galie

) don't regard this post too much as it will get this thread off topic and the mods will close it.
