Guild Wars 2

We believe there may be an issue. I can’t say that for certain, but we’re discussing this and looking into it in real time. You might keep your eye on the Technical Support Forum, as that seems the likely place for an update on this (although I will try to update here, too).

Hi, all: are people still experiencing this issue at this time?

Horizontal progression page summary
Lets me know if you think I’ve missed something

Character progression

New Build: This includes;

• New weapons
• New skills including expansion of weapons skills
• New traits
• New stat combinations
• Sub-classes https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Horizontal/page/2#post3406543
• New runes and sigils (ThanksTeckos.1305 missed that and I even have a post talking about then https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Horizontal/page/6#post3410128)

Cosmetics: This include;

• PvE skin locker. Similar to the sPvP locker https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Horizontal/first#post3406328
• Mini pets. Slots to place mini pets in so they don’t just go to collection and a game that involves mini pets. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Horizontal/first#post3406223
• Customising home instance – One main aspect requested is customising player housing where we can build and decorate the house (Thanks Donari.5237 missed that with home instance and player housing)
• An in game Hall of Monuments for GW2 to display achievements in game. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Horizontal/first#post3406216
• New skins. Armour / weapons / back items
• More emotes
• Alternate animations – another collection.

• Item progression. The fractal capacitor was used as an example
• Item enhancement. This could fall under item progression but the example used involved the flamekissed incident. The idea was to be able to enhance the human cultural armour so it could have the flamekissed skin.

Content

• Vanquishing. Example was another mode in dungeons were you have to vanquish all the monsters in the dungeon. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Horizontal/first#post3406082

Awesome work Bezagron.

Summary bump.

Josh Davis.6015:

Funniest thing I’ve ever heard in PvP?

Hard to say. Map chat in Anvil Rock’s Heart of the Mists at launch was like the wild west. I’m sure we could fill a few pages of quotes.

^^^

Recently I was in a TSS solo arena match and before the match started there was this warrior communicating with the team.. but in his own secret language known only to himself. From this we knew he was confident in his own abilities. Anyways once the match started he successfully captured home point and held it until the 8:30 mark. He valiantly defended the point as our team lost Tranquility. At this point in time he stated in team chat, “NME GOT OP BUFF”. After successfully communicating this to our team and before recapping the node he just lost from the buff, he immediately jetted for the ice cave. He was friendly enough at this point to also communicate to us that he would now defend the ice cave area as if he thought the buff would be respawning shortly. He had banners popped and he was now roaming the ice cave. Despite our desperate attempts from our team to get him out of the ice cave, we were unsuccessful. As the game ended he left us with “where buff?”

His noteworthy accomplishments and communication were remembered from that day. The experience was logged and recommendations on improving the learning experience for that map was forwarded along

Nike.2631:

Could you possibly set the ‘Support’ forums to neither be limited by nor trigger flood control? Its excruciatingly annoying to have flood control block you from trying to get help with a support issue. Or to have dealing with a support issue cripple your ability to interact in the more general topics areas.

Alas, our forum software does not allow for that. And the best place for Support assistance is the Support System.

Bug Fix

• Fixed a server crash.

As your active infraction points expire, you will start to regain more forum privileges. As example, if you currently have 900 second flood control, as your points start expiring, the flood control numbers will go down.

It’s the same with other forum privileges.

Zanshin.5379:

Let me know if you see a dev playing guardian.
They always seem so bored in their videos when they talk about the guardian.

Me 5 minutes ago. Shout out to the folks hanging out with me!

Closing thread as this is not about forum or website issues.

This CDI continues to get better and better. It is awesome just to be able to sit here and think about all these great ideas. On top of this the professionalism and respect shown to fellow posters is exactly what I would hope from the initiative as it matures.

A couple of days ago I did an interview with a journalist about the CDI and he asked me what my favorite things about the CDI were (on top of other things. You will be able to hear it soon I think). Seeing you all brainstorm and problem solve like you are in this thread is excellent and exactly what I had hoped for the CDI. So many good ideas, so much for us to discuss with you and at Arena, and ultimately so much value to add to GW2.

With this in mind I will be keeping this topic open until at least the 6th of Jan so that once the majority of the idea have come forward we can discuss them and start putting proposals together.

Yoh.8469:

Hey Chris, you might want to add this thread to the Master Sticky, I kind of assume that’s why it exists.

Also, I have a question, you might want to pass it on to Izzy or somebody as it is a bit technical.
We know we are going to get new skills/weapons/traits etc eventually.

-
But, is it possible for these new skills and abilities to utilize the Z-axis?

Most of the skills in the game effectively work on a flat plane, but as the Zephyr Sanctum showed it is quite possible go vertical as well. (admittedly only so far in a controlled space)
Technical map issues aside, is it possible we could see skills like these introduced into the game?

For example: Jumping into the air and raining down daggers or arrows, of launching yourself up and over your opponent.

-

And for everyone else, what do you think? Would you like to have skills that used the vertical Z-axis?

Hi,

CDI threads get added to the master sticky once they end. While they are live they remain in this section in order to ensure that folks are aware of the current CDI. I hope this makes sense.

Chris

Funniest thing I’ve ever heard in PvP?

Hard to say. Map chat in Anvil Rock’s Heart of the Mists at launch was like the wild west. I’m sure we could fill a few pages of quotes.

Smiley.5376:

We should have a thread like this for each profession sepparatly aswell

a lot has been said but i think profession-oriented feedback threads could be an excellent next step into letting arenanet know what we think

could be extremely helfull for the balance team !

We’ll be doing something very similar to that next year. Probably around the time we get the new profession balance forum.

Nice work, Blu!

Quick note to say that I am up to date and that there are some awesome ideas here.

If someone wants to do a macro summary of the main ideas that would be awesome (if they haven’t already. I haven’t seen one). If not I will do one tomorrow morning.

I will then call out some of the suggestions I personally really like. Also as per Colin’s question in the previous thread (one which has been asked again by some posters in this thread) feel free to discuss Horizontal Progression systems you have enjoyed in other games.

Chris

Also sorry for the delay, but I have been out and about with the family.

Chris

Note I will jump into the discussion once the conversation between you all gets going. Probably tomorrow. We will see (-:

Chris

Hello Fellow Collaborators,

Welcome to the last CDI topic of 2013 (For Real this time!). In this topic we will be discussing Horizontal Character Progression. The CDI rules are as follows:

Rules

1: This initiative is all about discussion.
2: We will not be disclosing information pertaining to what is currently in development.
3: Anger and emotion will have less impact than intelligent discussion.
4: Together we will share and evolve design philosophies which will impact how we develop the game moving forward.
5: Aggression and disrespect to a fellow community member or developer will not be tolerated, and in the extreme could lead to the shutting down of the initiative.
6: The teams primary focus is work toward the development of GW2 and therefore posting of discussion and commentary may not be as frequent as you like. Please do understand that the initiative is taken very seriously by us all and that we will be reading the discussions and joining in as often as it is possible to do so.

We will be focusing on Horizontal progression in this thread.

Here is a handy summary of some of the discussion so far. Thanks Bezagron:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Horizontal/page/6#post3410790

Link to various summaries collated by Lost Witch:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Summaries/first#post3442156

A link to the previous Vertical progression thread can be found here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Character-Progression-Vertical/first

Finally please note this is not a competition either between yourselves or the developers in regard to one up man ship. The point of this Initiative is to work together to make the game better.

Note: We will disclose the ideas we do or don’t like as a group but we will not discuss schedules or timing around implementation. If there is still concern surrounding how seriously we take community collaboration then please do take the time to think about how much impact the community has had on the working of this game over the year.

Chris

P.S: Here is a discussion about the recent Vertical discussion thread from Massively! for those who are new to the CDI process:

http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/12/17/flameseeker-chronicles-we-will-control-guild-wars-2s-horizonta/

Elementalist: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glyph_of_Renewal
Ranger: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Nature%27s_Renewal
Engineer: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Toss_Elixir_R

Can’t think of any others off the top of my head.

The good news is it’s a lot easier to breakdown chests without the salvage confirmation pop-up. I wish you and your wrists good luck.

Like I said on the thread you made for the previous update, this is an awesome way to present feedback – especially with the formatting.

I’ll make sure to keep this bookmarked and reference it in our first meetings next year. Thanks for keeping it constructive!

DrDivine.5378:

It’s been awhile so I don’t remember how to do this, but is there a page where you can modify the shipping address of your account (AKA the home address to the person who owns the account)?

This information would need to be changed by Support. As far as I recall, this is not something that a player or account holder can edit him- or herself. (That restriction would be a security measure.)

This is not something that anyone on the forums can help you with. While I appreciate you are frustrated, you need to address your questions to the Support Team, as they are the only people who can answer the question.

It could be that an agent needs to confer with his or her manager to get more information. It could be that things are not as stated, or that you misunderstand some of what is being said. There are things in your comments that do not quite make sense to me, overall, so best to discuss with the team. Thank you.

Recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEaXXKPuH3U

Just curious: When you crash, do you get an error message? What does it read?

I’m definitely not a Mac expert, but I think it would be useful to include any info about the error message in case that helps the devs nail down a possible fix. Thanks!

In addition to trying the suggestions from the other forum members (which seem very useful!) could you please post what error message you are receiving?

vlad.8793:

For some reason nearly all Anet players I see are Rangers.

I’ve been tooling around on my Ele & Necro today.

Yea, I would go back to playing my necro too if I had the ability to use a dev menu for getting around.

No Dev Menu on the live servers. We get around the same way as everyone else.

I am sorry that you had this experience, but fraud costs companies billions of dollars a year, and as the saying goes: if you watch the pennies, the pounds watch themselves.

When someone tries to buy from XX country and the credit card is from a place many thousands of miles away, that’s a huge red flag for fraud. Millions of CCs are stolen each week, and then are used quite commonly for online purchases, game acquisitions to advertise account-theft sites, etc. We must — for the security of the game and of every player within it — take careful steps to do out best to keep out fraudsters and those who would harm our game or our players.

It’s painful to be flagged as “potential fraud” when you’re not at all a potential fraudster, and I sympathize with you about this. However, there is no ticket number in this thread to allow me to review the situation, simply a lengthy post with information that tells me that there is more to this story than you or I know, at this point. Too, not giving confidential, security-based information is very important.

If you want to supply that ticket number (and please, no additional comments are necessary) I can take a look. Please understand I’m not involved directly in Payments or Billing and my involvement would not be that of an expert in those subjects.

csjuni.1795:

When i type in my gw account name and PW it sends me to relog into GW2 which i do and I’m directed to the change password. I’m confused am I doing something wrong ?

I am sorry that I can’t quite tell what we can do to solve this. Please click “Support” at the top of this page, and then “Submit a request” in the upper right and proceed to submit a ticket. The team should be able to help you.

Those who have been invited into the test really need to read the first e-mail, so that they know to expect and ignore the “your info has been reset” second e-mail. But if that e-mail didn’t reach you, I can understand your confusion. So please read the thread linked in the post immediately above and that may explain things.

I believe this is not phishing, but part of the invitation and enrollment system for Edge of the Mists testing, but you are wise to be cautious and delete, as anyone should for an e-mail that requests confirmation of a process that the player did not initiate.

After all, if your credit card company wrote and said “Your account is now in the hands of Thadeous the Thief, please click to confirm” you’d delete (and not click) in a New York Minute, right?

The info in this thread has been real helpful in getting people updated to get into the game, to solve camera issues, and to allow Gem Store purchases, if that is your desire.

As far as I can see, the info would not directly impact those using Bootcamp, but I think the thread is worth a view as it might address issues that you are having with Mac use for GW2.

thank you so much for manual update work around,mac beta duo geforce 9400, so happy my out of date mac runs this and even more happy that gw did not forget about mac users, love this game and this update fixed all my problems, thank you so very much

I am so glad it worked for you guys! We definitely have not forgotten our Mac users. More on that in the future, but you can be assured we are very grateful for your continued support and for your involvement in our game!

Everyone who has let us know about the results of the process outlined in this thread has confirmed that the camera issue is corrected with the patch. I hope you’ll give it a try.

Have you tried updating? I am by no means a Mac expert, but perhaps the information in this thread will be of use to you.

Kioshi is right. While we devise a permanent solution, there is a work-around, and most Mac users are reporting that it solves multiple issues: camera issues, game access/updater issues, even the ability to the use the Gem Store.

I encourage you to read this post for more information and work-around solutions.

Thanks for your patience.

this is common with the mac client. if that happens, try keeping the BLTC window open and changing the language settings in game to French and see if it loads. you can switch it back to english and hope it still loads too. if not.. just restart the client.

Oh man, I forgot that tip. Thanks for posting, J Night!

If you folks still need help, don’t hesitate to send a ticket by clicking Support at the top of this page, and then “Submit a request” on the ticket submission page.

This is great communication and thanks to all of you for passing along these notes. I’m going to sum it up (and do feel free to correct me if I have any of this wrong):

ZaidDyan — solved (not sure which issues, but I’m glad you’re good to go). Will pass along your suggestions.
Stem Knives — solved all three: update issue, camera issue, gem purchases (thank you!)
praus — solved all three: update issue, camera issue, and gem purchases (thank you, too — very nice!).
Helgan — solved two of three: update issue and camera issue. Did not solve a sporadic issue with the Gem Store. I’m flagging this but wonder if you’ve been in touch with CS. If so, do you have any ticket numbers so I can peek at the ticket(s)?
JRM — can’t install the client. Dang it! Can you please contact our Mac specialist on the Tech Support Team. We will work with you on this.
Tiki Gamer — solved all three: update issue, camera issue, gem purchases (and another thank you to you!)
Che Guevara — solved all three: update issue, camera issue, gem purchases (and one more thank you!)

Oh, as a side note, if you haven’t caught the forum post announcing it, next year we’ll be opening up a new Profession Balance sub-forum for the entire game. The Balance team and myself will be a constant presence in the new forum. It will be A LOT easier for us to engage in balance discussion when we don’t keep everything in a vacuum (profession forums).

Well, Josh did say they were going to have devs from the Skills and Balance Team on their next stream in early January.

But a dedicated S&B stream would be great, with its own Q&A session.

The Skills and Balance team will be on the show sometime next month. I mentioned this during the show a few times. While John C works almost exclusively on the PvP “infrastructure”, my job as Community Coordinator allows me to be a bit more flexible. Starting next year, I’ll be embedded with the PvP team as well as the Skills and Balance team, essentially acting as the liaison between those teams and our community. This is a role I’ve a bit of experience in.

I spend an inordinate amount of time collecting feedback from players, be it on the forums, in-game, or in a teamspeak/ventrilo. When we come back from vacation we’ll jump right into things once again and let you know what’s coming.

Daishi.6027:

I know everything is matched based on MMR, and typically there are a lot of imbalances within that. So I gotta ask does it match actual teams based on MMR? or is it just grabbing players from a pool within a certain ratio (or closest to) and then randomizes teams from the pool of players?

Team arena will match teams based off the average MMR. Solo arena will grab a poll of players based on individual MMR, and then put them into two teams based on that MMR.

Let’s keep discussion about Ready Up to one thread. Merged similar topics.

I’ll start responding to posts in a few minutes.

Are you still not getting our mails?

Our IT Specialist said the following:

So far every email address I have been sent from a customer with complaints about not receiving our emails has been one of the following issues.

1. The user marked us as spam at some point in the past. I clear these spam records when the user says they’re having issues receiving our messages.
2. The user is receiving the messages according to our mail logs. In these cases the problem is either that the mail is in their spam [gg:or Junk folder] or they need to add us to their safe sender list.

So… are you still not receiving our e-mails? Please take action on Item No. 2 above and, if you believe you may have flagged us as in Item No. 1, please PM me the e-mail address that forms your log-in name. Do not send me anything else — no password, please! — just the e-mail address. Send via PM only and PM about this issue only, please so I can keep my in-box clear.

I’ll see if our IT Team can take Step No. 1 above after you’ve done Step No. 2. With that ~cross fingers~ we may be able to nail down this issue completely.

Thanks!

I describe exactly how dishonor works here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Dishonored-Details/first#post3389177

I want to reiterate that we will continue to watch the numbers and change them as we see fit. Obviously we don’t want to punish people with poor internet, but players who consistently disconnect should expect to gain dishonor. Disconnecting is no different than leaving. If you have disconnected twice in one night, you should probably take a break until your internet is more stable before trying to play more.

Problem is that it is not always the case on our end but instead, on Anet’s end.

If that is the case, then please open support tickets so we can get the problem resolved.
