The one thing I want to know is if the training manuals will change from allowing access to teaching a bunch of traits of that tier.

As I read it, there are no more tier-unlock manuals, those are just unlocked automatically at certain levels. The training manuals each teach a specific trait, and newly introduced traits will have more expensive manuals (just like the newer heal skills are very expensive in SP)

Edit: Or were you asking if they will still have some use if you bought one in that past? I… wouldn’t count on that. They aren’t that expensive, so I doubt they will be given any new use.

Trait tiers will now unlock based on the level of your character. Manuals will be removed from the vendors and replaced with the purchasable trait guides as an alternative to unlocking traits via specific content.

So we won’t geting because 8% of mac and linux users cant get it? Great…..

It’s my duty as a programmer to be respectful of these things. Does it mean it will never happen? No. It does mean that someone else will have to approve not having a cross platform feature. I’ve already started the ball rolling to get this cross-platform functionality done correctly, but I have no timeline on that.

This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! ! !
I’ve wanted something like this for a long time and now that it’s finally coming, you managed to make it This kitten Good!

Such a refreshment! There are a ton of things like these that should be looked over, and it really feels like we (literally) have to wait ~2 years to see them change.
Might actually be my favorite patch of all time!

Thank you! This is the side of ANet that should never be turned away from us!

I’m glad you are excited, and we are too. This is just the first taste of stuff coming in the build. There will be many more blogs. =)

This is a UI bug. You only get 5 rank points per top-stat, but each UI alert is showing your total rank point gain from top-stats. This would have started happening after we made rewards time-based. We’ll work on getting this fixed. Thanks for the report!

Rising Dusk.2408:

Evan, I think if possible you should also make the Guild Wars 2 icon on the start menu flash when the tournament queue pops and we get the sound notification. That would be clutch.

We do have this functionality, but its currently hacked in as a windows-only feature. I’d like it to be cross-platform if possible before I add it.

ALL. OF. THEM.

:D

They also mentioned something like: “existing characters will have all opd traits unlocked, but the new ones will be locked. Characters created after the patch will have all traits locked”.

… Does this mean I cant create a new character to fool around wih in pvp… But have to get 8 character slots, and unlock all traits on each profession and NEVER be allowed to delete and recreate one with different race/looks, because ill lose all traits?

That better not be the case…. I have alot of lvl2 haracters that are just there for pvp, and i occasionally recreate them :/.

It probably means you have to buy it.

I just hope existing traits are unlocked by default for pvp… It would e rather unfair if a completely new player jumped in pvp to try it out… But had 0 traits :P

All current traits will be usable on a new character in PvP. New traits that are added to the game will need to be unlocked though, similar to how new skills work.

Roy, will we be able to buy said traits directly in the Heart of the Mists?

Yup!

From what I’m reading, the update fixed the crashing issue for nearly everyone, and we’re so happy that was the case!

If you still are having crashing issues, I’d call those “user specific” cases and we’d like you to submit a ticket for those situations so our Technical Support Team can try to troubleshoot what is going on.

Thanks for your patience in waiting for the fix. Now, get out there are smite some skritt!

Every ticket submitted to Guild Wars Customer Support will receive multiple responses. There are three kinds:

• An auto-response that confirms receipt of your inquiry. These usually go out within a minute or two of your initial inquiry.
• An agent response. These arrive after the receipt auto-response, usually within hours of your initial inquiry.
• An automatic update that lets you know the ticket is in the hands of an agent and still is being worked on. These are not sent for every ticket, but for those that are taking longer to resolve, such as an account ownership dispute, a hacked account situation, etc.

It’s important for you to know that Customer Support responds to every ticket and they will continue to do so until an issue is resolved or an outcome is determined.

If you are not getting our e-mails for purchases or support issues (a situation most common with Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, and Comcast e-mail systems) please try the following steps:

1. Check your e-mail account directly through the e-mail provider’s web page, and not through a mail reader (such as Outlook) or a mobile device (such as a smart phone or tablet).
2. Check your Spam, Junk, and Deleted Messages folders to make sure the message wasn’t received and moved to any of those folders.
3. Check each of Gmail’s tabs such as Social, Promotions, or Updates, and not simply the main Inbox tab.
4. Do not flag our e-mails a “Not spam” because in some cases, this presents more problems than it solves.
5. Set up a filter or add us to your e-mail “Safe Sender” list to prevent our messages from being diverted or blocked. When you do that, please include the following domains:
   • @arena.net
   • @guildwars2.com
6. Add these e-mail addresses to your contacts list:
   • support@guildwars2.com
   • noreply@guildwars2.com

If you made a purchase from us: You will be sent an e-mail if you purchase directely from us such as the game, gems, or Gem Store items. If you do not get that mail, please try the steps above. if you still do not see our e-mailed receipt, please submit a ticket. (Click “Support” above and then “Submit a request” in the upper right-hand corner.)

Note: Generally, creating duplicate tickets will slow response times. However, if you’re not getting any of our responses and you have followed the steps above, you might try creating a new ticket using an e-mail provider other than those listed above. (In other words, sending from a different Hotmail account won’t solve the issue, but using a whole different e-mail provided may help!) If you do create a new ticket, please include your previous ticket number within it (if available) or any other information you previously provided so we can cross-reference them.

As has been mentioned in this thread, the policy is one click or keypress per action. Anything beyond that is a violation of our rules.

As I said earlier, anything that is more than one action per keypress or click is in violation of our rules. That said, there’s not much more value to keeping this thread open, so it is now closed.

You can purchase any of the trait guides. Prices depend on tier and whether it’s new or not. So for every trait there will be an option to go out into the world and unlock it via specific content or just purchase it if you choose to go that route.

This episode of Ready Up, we’ll be talking about a lot of the things you have all been waiting for! First up, We’ll have Hugh Norfolk and Jonathan Sharp on the show to preview a new map that has no capture points. Next, Josh Davis has prepared a presentation to show off all the new traits, while the designers Karl McLain and Roy Cronacher talk about them.

When & Where:
March 21st, 12pm PDT
Official Guild Wars 2 Twitch Channel

We’ll see you there!

Hey everyone,

We’ll be getting into more detail about upcoming new traits in tomorrow’s Ready Up. Hopefully the show will help you to understand a little more regarding this topic.

Saying no rewards anymore is hyperbole. That suggests we are not adding a system to replace the old one, which is not true.

And yes, per Colin’s blog post, we’ve now released that the Feature build will be on April 15!

Yep. The only puzzle piece left for this is making it so the sound will play through the ‘Mute game while minimized’ option. Then it will be caaaaaaaaaake.

Could there be another option that allows you to check a box that says “Play notification sounds even while minimized”? I’m not sure the difficulties around such a change, but then such a thing could be added to all queues (overflow/wvw/spvp/etc) and still leave growth for whatever else comes up during the games growth that could be classified as a notification.

Yes, you are describing the functionality that we need

Yep. The only puzzle piece left for this is making it so the sound will play through the ‘Mute game while minimized’ option. Then it will be caaaaaaaaaake.

Evan and I were literally just talking about this (leaving players on the scoreboard). We would both like to see this, and it has other benefits beyond just what we present on the scoreboard.

I’m not sure when we would be able to do it, assuming there are no technical reasons why we can’t, but this definitely seems like a worthwhile QoL change.

Hey,

I sent a ticket on Friday 14th requesting a character rollback, as my account had previously been ‘hacked’.

I’m completely unaware of whether or not the ticket actually went through, or what’s actually happening with it; I didn’t receive any kind of email confirmation regarding the ticket, and there doesn’t seem to be anywhere on the site to manage tickets you’ve sent.

I’ve seen posts where people have been told to update their tickets, and of course posts in this thread with people giving their ticket number. Am I missing something?

You should receive a response to your submission, an email stating ‘We received your ticket, and will respond shortly.’, with a ticket number included. Check your spam and junk folders, and if you find nothing, you might find this thread helpful: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Not-Getting-Our-Mails-Yahoo-Gmail-Hotmail-more/first#post2924424 Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. Haven’t found anything in my Junk or deleted folder, so I’m gonna try sending another ticket. I know they don’t really like us sending multiple tickets but not much else I can do!

Thanks again.

Consider sending it from a different e-mail provider and provide the date of your first ticket, please.

Awesome post Olli. Especially the points on new game modes. Definitely some cool ideas in there.

As has been mentioned in this thread, the policy is one click or keypress per action. Anything beyond that is a violation of our rules.

The feedback you provide definitely touches on a lot of the major topics that are coming up in the community. The balance suggestions are very reasonable.

New game modes is definitely something we’re all really looking forward to as well.

Thanks for posting and in such a constructive manner, Olli!

Thank you for the reports, I’m unaware of any changes purposefully made to the cavern, but we’ll review the Weyandt’s Revenge entrance… for the time being, I personally have had the most success surviving this fall by jumping to my little rockbro here then aiming for the screen left waterfall:

Thanks for the reports, I have seen the same thing and passed the news on to those responsible.

Players can now talk to Laranthir of the Wild in the Grand Piazza in Lion’s Arch to view a replay of the cinematic.

Bug Fixes:

• Added an option to Laranthir’s conversation to replay the Battle for Lion’s Arch: Aftermath cinematic.
• Fixed an issue in which the loading screen was covering the cinematic when players loaded into Lion’s Arch.
• Fixed an issue in which the cinematic was not playing for all players.
• Fixed a bug that caused random crashes on the Mac client.

Hey everyone,

I apologize for the delay in my posting today. We will be publishing a hotfix at 4:00PST that should resolve the constant crashing with the Mac client.

As always, if you all continue to experience this issue after the hotfix is live please update this thread.

You can report bot locations (not names) in this thread or you can report bots in-game or directly to Customer Support.

As others have already stated, rezzing other players will not get your bank account hacked.

Thank you for the reports, we are looking into both of these terrain issues.

Thank you for the report, we are looking into fixing this terrain issue as well as the one near the Claw Island Portage Waypoint.

Thank you for the reports, we are looking into fixing the cutscene for future players to view when they log in for the first time. For players who have already logged in, we are working on adding a replay option to one of the NPCs in Lion’s Arch. Please expect these changes sometime tomorrow, 3/19. I will update closer to fix release with exactly which NPC will have the cutscene replay.
