I’ve found with yahoo that not only do I not receive an authentication email from outside locations I also get a ‘unable to authenticate’ error. I have submitted a ticket and hopefully the team can finally locate the source of the issue…my only question is does anyone know if the mobile authenticator is getting the same trouble?

Where is the “unable to authenticate” error taking place? On Yahoo? Or are you saying that you are not getting the auth e-mail and then, because you cannot authenticate to get into the game?

Hello to all who read this and I appreciate anyone that may shed some light on my issue.

I have submitted a support ticket for my issue and did get a response that did not help my specific issue or answer my question. I do appreciate that the response was quick, but unfortunately not helpful, which brings me to here. Any help is most appreciated..

My problem is I unequipped the bone pick and the jack-in-the-box tool on my warrior named “Ultimate Damage” and deleted that character and remade him to switch races.

I didn’t realize that those tools were soul-bound and now they sit in my personal bank to which i can not remove them unless i delete them. moments later I learned of the change in those tools going to account bound.

My question is seeing as i can not pull those tools out of my bank without destroying them is my only choice to re-buy those tools???

If you have continuing questions about your ticket, please update the ticket and discuss with an agent. This is not something that can be answered by a forum member.

Hi Gaile. 75690 and 9271 are ticket numbers for a player that is having issues with a password reset. His original ticket was sent in on Oct. 26.

This person has submitted a bunch of ticket; with all due respect, he needs to stop doing that. The original ticket is the only “live” ticket, and he was asked for account ownership verification information in 9271. He needs to respond to that request for information. (He also needs to stop submitting new tickets; they are unnecessary and impede our ability to help this player and everyone else.)

Please ask him to review the response in 9271 and answer the verification questions. If he is not getting our e-mails, then he needs to reach out to us via a different e-mail provider and refer to ALL his ticket numbers so we can close or merge the earlier ones and help him now.

Hi Ninuz,

Various reports indicate performance is much better when using a Windows partition, but of course I can’t TELL you that you must do this. This is simply due to the fact that the Mac client is still in Beta (please don’t hurt me!) and not yet fully optimized. So this really boils down to what’s more important for you at the moment: performance, or playing on the Mac client.

After logging in, I can't see my characters.

Hi King Dimitris,

This is the first I’ve heard of this particular issue. Have you tried repairing the client (sorry I know it sounds simple, but always good to start with the basics)? If you haven’t done this before, please refer to the steps below:

1 Click on the “Finder” icon located in your dock or the desktop of your computer to make “Finder” the active program in the Finder menu bar.

2 Click on “Go” in the Finder menu bar. A dropdown will appear.

3 Click on "Utilities.”

4 Once in the “Utilities” folder click on the Terminal.app.

5 Copy and paste the following line into the terminal:

applications/guild\ wars\ 2.app/contents/MacOS/cider —use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 -- C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe -repair

6. Click ”Enter.”

This should initiate the repair process on the client. Please allow the process to complete and once it is done, close out of terminal, log into your account, and see if the issue persists.

Every time you finish a complete set of Fractals (3 Standard Fractals + 1 Boss) you will receive the daily reward, restricted by account, which is consistent with other dungeon rewards. Each 10 levels of Fractals has it’s own daily reward. So if you played level 1, 11, 21, and 31, you would receive four daily rewards.

  • Your total agony resist will not change. If you had 55, you will still have 55.

  • No changes are being made to Agony Resist on any other item.

Looked into this and found a crucial bit of audio logic missing from the stow weapon functionality which would cause all weapon stow sounds to not play.

Thanks so much for reporting this, and for providing a lot of detail. Your weapon stow sounds not playing could have been the result of any number of issues, many of which could be very specific to your character’s race, gender, and your weapon of choice, but apparently in this case the sounds won’t play no matter what.

A fix will be coming soon!

Unfortunately the change doesn’t apply to items that have already been acquired. Ultimately that’s what I wanted but there was a pretty severe technical limitation on this, so we thought it would be better to make the newly items work this way rather than postpone the conversion any longer.

Also, at higher Fractal levels the weapon skins become more common, and also start dropping in a container that lets you pick the one you want.

Here’s how it works:

  • Agony resist infusions are always +1 or above agony resist.
  • Agony resist infusions only slot into the Agony Resist slot, which is currently only found Infused Asccended Rings and Back Items.
  • Every time you finish a fractal, you’ll get at least a +1 out of the chest.
  • An artificer can combine any two identical agony resist infusions with a Thermocatyltic Reagent o make one of a higher resistance.
  • Existing Infused Ascended Rings and Back Items lose their natural +5 Agony Resist, and receive a +5 Agony Resist Infusion by default.
  • New Infused Ascended Rings and Back Items will have an empty slot.

Cinematics Lead

Next

There are some pretty exciting cinematics coming in the future…I hope you guys will receive them as well as the Fractals piece.

I just hope that if/when you add more cinematics to the game you will take care and make them

(a) not pop up in the middle of a fight / action sequence causing you to die instantly when the cinematic ends (*cough*volcanic fractal*cough*)
(b) be skippable so we don’t have to wait 5 minutes for Mrs. Lionguard to explain to Caithe how much help they need dealing with lolscarlet over and over and over again.

(a) I cant answer this as it is a design issue with our scripting system. The cinematics team only handles a few of the flyby-camera-style cinematics. I can take a look at this-
(b) all our cinematics have the ability to be skip-able. Sometimes someone forgets to flag a cinematic as skippable :0

When a scene is scripted out there may be triggers that NEED to happen in order for a set of events to play out the way they were meant to be. If we allow players to skip this type of cinematic, then it can unravel scene, spawns, and such. I’d love to have a fix for this…but players may have to bare with it for the time being. I feel your pain.

I’d love to see focus on talking about what the players of that region are concerned about. After having been told by a community manager that the first community discussions was about Living Story because other regions found that more important than EN GW2’s issues, it felt a bit disingenuous.

If EN gw2’s primary focus is rewards and drop rates and DR, don’t tell them that FR’s concern with living story is more important, even if it is more convenient.

Pushing hard work and difficult issues to the back just means it never gets done.
