Did you know that there are some people on this forum who get multiple infraction points just for saying they have flood control?

Consider yourself lucky not to be part of those people … for now.

If someone just mentions it, we usually just delete those posts. Unless someone is discussing or debating Moderation or Moderation actions. Per our Forum Code of Conduct, those questions & concerns should be submitted to forums@arena.net

I am pretty sure Izzy responded to this question a few months ago. I will check with him.

I seriously hope not, because that would mean we somehow missed an announcement that “You’re just gonna have to lump it.”

Do the right thing on this one. Please.

Those players should be your ambassadors of fractaline awesome to the rest of the player base, not the most legitimately bitter voices.

This is off topic for the time being Nike.

Thank you.

In regard to topics I would like to see (if that’s ok):

- Continued discussion about lore in fractals.
- Suggested scenarios (boss, encounter and level design) based on current mechanics and systems in fractals.
- Anything else that takes your fancy.

I am pretty well versed in all of your thoughts around rolling, rewards and leader boards now.

Chris

Putting aside your dev hat and any indications of inetntion etc etc

Out of nothing more than curiosity and get discussion back rolling…what would you personally “as a player/fan” like to see as a scenario. Given the whole the GW lore and history to pluck from?

For eg, I’d love something similar to the Ascalon fight, but with Ebonhawke and Kralk flying overhead branding half the area and you as soldiers fighting off branded so people could escape. That would be iconic!

Hi Randulf,

From a personal standpoint I would like to be part of the story surrounding Rylock’s Origin, specifically in which Rytlock whilst on a mission clashes with his Warband’s legionairre.

I think that would be awesome!

Chris

Just talked to QA and the designer who worked on this story step, we’re investigating the issue. As always, I can’t give an ETA on a fix will be pushed out, but we’ll try to get it out as soon as we can. Thanks!

Tyrian,

As I mentioned previously – in order for us to work with you one on one in regards to this issue, please submit a support ticket.

Ok as I thought my post has completely derailed the conversation. Please let’s continue discussing how to evolve fractals for the time being.

Thank you,

Chris

What are your visible (complete and incomplete) story objectives? That response is used if you haven’t picked a plan yet, once you choose whose plan to go along with, his conversation changes to one that allows you to complete that step.

Hello all,

As this topic has turned away from a discussion and more into personal digs, we are going to close it. Please be sure you’re following the Forum Code of Conduct when discussing Guild Wars 2.

Hi. I talked with our team about this, and while agents are able to pull this information, it can take a lot of time and generally is not a good use of their time. This is because what agents generally find is that the balance changed because someone paid fees that s/he forgot, or that the player forgot about a recent acquisition that accounts for the “missing money.” There is a 10% tax fee in the TP and a 5% non-refundable listing fee, as well. When the figures are gathered and calculated, the “missing money” is found to be accounted for in those fees.

If someone is hacked, they’re generally going to lose all their gold. There’s no known issue with accounting in the game, and if there were such an issue I believe we’d definitely know about it! Therefore, these individual issues usually can be resolved by the player considering his or her recent activities and calculating purchases, sales, and fees. We’d appreciate if players would do this before contacting Support, since taking the time to do this research for individual players means that other players must wait for other essential services, such as the resolution of a hacking incident, an account restoration, or the return of game access to someone who isn’t able to log in, etc.

Thanks.

I’ll be releasing information on the next episode next week. We’re still ironing out some of the details.

Romo.3709:

Also, Chris.
I’ve been trying to avoid the question for a while now, trying my hardest to contribute to this CDI as much as the time lets me, while trying to push this question to the back of my mind. It never seem to be a good time to ask it, but then again I don’t think it’ll ever be a good time to. But you once said that you will give your opinion on fractal reset after you gave it some thoughts. I was wondering if you got anything for us. Will we ever be compensated for levels we lost and those over multiple toons? Just stating if it’s not even a viable thing for discussion anymore would suffice.

I am pretty sure Izzy responded to this question a few months ago. I will check with him.

Chris

Guild Wars 2 requires TCP ports 80, 443, 6112 and port 6600 be fully unrestricted and accessible, both inbound and outbound. If you are connecting to Guild Wars 2 while on a campus, military, or business network, please check with your network’s administrator to verify that these ports are fully opened and unrestricted. If you are on a home Local Area Network (LAN), you will want to make sure that your network’s hardware is configured properly.

You should be able to find out information about your router by reviewing your owner’s manual or by visiting the manufacturer’s website. Here are website links for several network hardware manufacturers:

D-Link®: http://support.dlink.com/
Linksys®: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support
NETGEAR®: http://kb.netgear.com/app/home
Belkin®: http://www.belkin.com/support/

For further information about opening ports or port forwarding, you can visit the following website: http://www.portforward.com/ Note: This site is not affiliated with or supported by NCSOFT or ArenaNet.

The show isn’t only about sPvP, so I expect you will be disappointed occasionally when we feature other areas of the game that you are not interested in.

We try to announce a few days in advance what the plan is, so you will know ahead of time if it’s something you want to watch.

The next Ready Up will be on the 14th (Friday next week).

As the OP wished for this to be closed, we’re closing the thread.

Did you click all the way through the conversation? The vital transitions are marked with a star, and if you just close the conversation window or walk away so it closes automatically, it won’t complete the quest.

Thanks so much for keeping this constructive, guys! This has been incredibly helpful for me.

Could you guys seriously stop this daydreaming? There won’t be perfectly challenging and fun content with unique surprises each time you run it.

This thread would be about 10 pages shorter if people thought, “is this proposal remotely possible considering development resources available?” before they hit Reply.

I too find this frustrating, but at the same time, I have an engineering background and am able to make rough estimates of the implementation effort.

I assume that a lot of people here are just fans of the game, not coders/artists/etc, and don’t understand that they’re asking for things that would take a 10-person team months and months to complete. Or more.

The most egregious requests, if anybody is wondering, center around user-generated content/sandbox features. That is way way out of scope. Full randomly-generated content is also likely out of scope, not necessarily due to coding, but due to QA/testing.

Now, all that said, that doesn’t mean that the devs won’t find some bit of inspiration in these ideas and use a scaled down, heavily modified version. So have fun, everybody.

Agreed. It is completely valid for the CDI to brainstorm, discuss and dream about things that they would like to see in the game as this could easily lead to more realistic ideation around a feature etc.

Chris

Update: The team responsible for this particular initiative anticipates that the e-mails about the gem distribution should be sent Friday.

Thanks for asking about this. I don’t know the answer, but I’ll see if I can find out for you guys!

And yes, the survey could be repeated in the future, so others may be eligible at that time.

We’re still experiencing an issue with verifying completion. We ARE going to get a reply out to you, no worries. =) We have not sent gifts out this week while we work on determining who is and is not affected by the bug – and who simply needs to go back and finish map complete.

If anyone reading this completed after the March 4 live build (approx 9am PDT) and did not get gifts would you please reply here with the character name affected?

For everyone who landed the achievement and did not get gifts, remember that the achievement is account-wide and does not guarantee that a specific character has 100% (thus earning Gifts).

*Edit – submitting multiple tickets slows us down and does not get you help any sooner than one ticket will.

If you are having difficulties and finding bugs, please post them in the Game Bugs sub-forum: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs

Hey everyone,

I’ve been seeing a lot of threads pop up with varying feedback about this skill. I’d appreciate it if you guys could toss some feedback in this thread about the skill, and try to be as concise as possible.

Also, try to answer these questions:

• Do you main Thief?
• When do you feel that Pistol Whip is unbalanced? (scenarios would be great)
  • How does it feel unbalanced compared to other class mechanics?
• What would you do to change Pistol Whip to better fit the class/game?

Additionally, if you feel Pistol Whip is exactly what it needs to be, I would like you to say so in this thread.

This thread is for me personally so I can properly communicate to the designers how you guys feel about it.

Thanks!

If you are having difficulties and finding bugs, please post them in the Game Bugs sub-forum: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs

FYI, we don’t think it’s balanced. That’s why we’re still balancing it.

The OP actually makes a good point, though. For this particular feature build, we have not shared much about what’s going on, we get that. Don’t mistake that with we’re not doing much, though.

Thanks for the feedback

If this is something someone actually wanted to do, let me know because I’d like to support it.

Otherwise, cute thread

These problems are caused by a bug, but there is a very simple workaround. See this thread for more details:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/ALL-voices-GONE/

Nice post, but what about full-fledged three point play with small skirmishing builds like in the old days? It seems many have drifted away from this as a viable strategy but as ApeX has shown the last month, is not the case.

I personally would love to sign up to learn from all these Tyrian heroes!

Hello all,

We’ve done some minor edits to some posts to keep the down the sarcastic responses and thinly-veiled insults. Please remember to debate the topic and not take it personal. The thread will remain open as long as the conversation stays respectful. Thank you.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the Prime Hologram event would become stuck
• Updated the ground collision to prevent the Aetherblade Cannoneer from becoming stuck in the terrain.

We are working to solve an intermittent issue in the Scarlet Prime encounter that halts progress. We appreciate your patience and will keep you updated.

There is a main forum thread in the Game Bugs Forum about this issue:

There is a main forum thread in the Game Bugs Forum about this issue:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Invulnerable-Prime-Hologram/first

Thank you for the reports and your patience we’re currently investigating the Prime Hologram’s phase transitions.

You said you successfully linked your accounts, but you’re concerned that you did not get your rewards? If that’s the case, you are not entitled to rewards connected with an account that was banned. I’m sorry if I misunderstood, but I think that’s your concern, correct?

And on a more serious note. We do appreciate that most of this thread has stayed on-topic and constructive. It is the exact kind of feedback we look for. Keep up the good work and report the posts which violate the Forum Code of Conduct. Thanks!

Everyone around that office must be holding hands and dancing in a field of flowers with an acoustic guitar.

THIS was Game of Thrones quality?! Have they not WATCHED IT?!

I’m allergic to flowers. But indeed, we are holding hands and dancing.

MRA.4758:

Nicca.3057:

But, the reason for it not being implemented is because it has not been tested? If I am wrong in my understanding please feel free to recalibrate my logic.

Crytal Reid stated that “the code changes were too risky to get checked in and tested properly” which means that the fix has already been implemented (most likely “locally” in a programmers development environment), but it has not been integrated in the code of the live production servers (“checked in” for the new build of today) since it has not been tested thoroughly.

Changes to a software system always bear the risk of creating unforeseen problems in other (and seemingly unrelated) components of the system. Hence, if ANet didn’t have the time to test the fix properly, then they are doing the right thing in pushing the changes back to the next release build.

~MRA

Thank you for understanding and for explaining this so clearly. This is an issue that the team actively is working on, but as Crystal explained, it will be fully addressed in a future build. We thank you for your patience while the best possible resolution is developed, tested, and then implemented into the game.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed various server crashes.
• Fixed an issue in which the Attunement Pools were not appearing correctly after an assault knight was killed.
• Fixed an issue in which assault knights would reset health when targeting players at the edge of their engagement radius.
• Players leaving the Scarlet’s End instance will now always return to the ground of Lion’s Arch.
