Hello everyone.

Haxyou, you certainly need to contact again Customer Support with the old reference number, so they can revise your situation and sort things out for you. You can also provide them with that screenshot, as well as with all details that are important for this issue. If the ticket goes unanswered for three or more days, then proceed to copy your reference number and a brief description inside the sticky for old tickets.

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

Shifty, from the forums there is not much we can do to help you. As Simplesimon states, you need to send a ticket to Customer Support so they can help you out with this incidence. In the meantime, we also recommend you to use the mobile and the email authenticators as an extra security layer for your account as well as changing your password to a unique one, never used before.

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

As already pointed out, all incidents of in-game harassment should be reported to our Customer Support team using the ticketing system. Just keep in mind that like we don’t permanently ban anyone on the forums for first time offenses, the same goes in-game. The more you report, the better the game world will be.

Thanks!

Suizen, as Michael and Loli have correctly stated, the ticket is quite recent and you need to give time to Customer Support till they deal with it and get back to you. There is not much left we can do from here in your case and we would ask you to be alittle bit more patient. Rest assured that Support will contact you and your brother will return to Tyria soon enough.

Thanks for your patience.

Rest assured that he will have his account back once they revise his situation. This said, if the new ticket goes unanswered for three or more days, proceed to write the reference number and a brief description in the sticky for old threads.

Hello Ra Sun God.

We are sorry to hear about this episode. By your description, it seems that your account was hacked. In this case, you need to write a ticket to Customer Support, if you want to have a rollback of your account to a prior point. Check this page for more information about it; we are offering one ollback per account. I would also recommend to add from now on the authenticator system for an extra layer of security and also to use a very unique password, never used before, so this episode does not repeat again.

@People asking about 1on1’s: For now it’ll function like the current tourney system, but instead of 3 rounds, it will be 1. So both teams join, go in, play a game, come back out.

We also toyed w/ the idea of the “winner stays, loser pays” mentality, so it’s something that has been tossed around. As this will be a “beta” test of the system we’re going to be open to iteration and listening to player feedback on it very closely.

Incoming AoE nerf and rezzing in WvW

in WvW

Posted by: Matt Witter.6982

Previous

Matt Witter.6982

Game Designer

Next

There are a few different knobs we can turn in regards to AoE some of the bigger ones being:
Radius of the AoE
Frequency of the AoE Damage
Damage of the AoE
Max Targets of the AoE

Currently, some players causing the AoE are able to do more damage to one person while also controlling a portion of the field, compared to a player with single target damage.
In our balance discussions we always look at what these changes could do to PvE as well as PvP. Any changes we make will undergo a lot of testing, both internal and by our trusted alpha team. It is important to understand that we are not doing a blanket nerf to all AE’s or a dramatic adjustment of the damage AoE’s can do. There may be some cases where players can build for AoE damage, but are just not viable or other cases where AoE is clearly the dominate way to build, and as such the other builds get left on the side lines. Its these classes/builds that we are concerned about.

I understand your comments, and I do see your point of view. I was rather surprised to learn we have “trottles” on purchases. The reasoning behind those controls could be related to many things, and I don’t want to misspeak in saying “They’re in place for ABC reason.” But I will share your thoughts and see what if there are changes planned, or individual flags possible, so you don’t run into this situation.

1) Fireheart Rise – west of Noxious Castrum: Fire elementals spawn within 5-10 seconds of killing them.

2) Kessex Hills – directly south of Bronson heart quest: Centaurs stationed at the gate spawn within approximately 10 seconds.

3) Malchor’s Leap – NW of King’s Passage/SW of Plaza of Lights: Orr spawn within roughly 5-15 seconds.

Just looked at these…

1) Nope, 95-120s for all the spawns around here.

2) Same, 95-120s. The guards are scattered around the camp, so maybe someone else killed them in a different location a minute earlier so when they picked a spot to respawn, they happened to choose the spot you were fighting at?

3) As mentioned in the other thread, Orr is undergoing some cleanup with now, so it’s likely they there are too many spawns appearing. (It’s not that they respawn, but multiple critters can spawn on the same location, so as soon as you kill one, there’s another critter right there..)

If I could get screenshots of the map overhead that would also help, it’s very slow for me to try and find some of these locations since I don’t know the maps by heart so I have to check each POI/heart to find the right one.
