Guild Wars 2

It does not give a free res. These guys can’t rally you. Also they die in about 11 seconds, not 2 seconds. I would like them to have a bit more survivable, but the real problem is obviously them aggroing. Necro minions are supposed to aggro based on what you attack only, so if this particular minion is not following that rule that is the real problem. We are currently investigating it and will make any changes we think are necessary.

Plans for next Halloween are still a little way away, so at this time, we cannot give a definitive answer.

He probably turned to look Ibbuli there when he interacted with him. It’s something that all our NPCs do.

Thanks guys, we will take a look at this. It shouldn’t be dying so quickly and it certainly shouldn’t be drawing aggro on its own.

Hey everyone.

Please, check this other thread as the issue is being discussed by a bigger number of players. Thanks!

Hi everyone.

We will proceed to close the thread since the bug is being discussed in another bigger thread, already pointed out by the user Lookitsandrea. You can help the dev team more effectively by posting there.

Thanks.

All doors are permanently open now, how am I supposed to trigger the events for the halloween event achievement?…

Same problem here. I only ever got the one in Queensdale to open the doors, now nothing is triggering.
Any advice on this?

There are still haunted doors that spawn events instead of portals. Look around for doors that do not have markers on them. There are also some events in the Mad King Labyrinth.

It’s just a great place to watch all the silly mortals fall for his Haunted Door prank. Fall…get it?

You mean I can’t talk about Mr. abkblslaba’s account! :P

It means exactly that.
It’s important to report those bots instead with as detailed information as possible.
Please check the official post from Colin Johanson regarding that, in case you don’t know about it yet: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Lets-talk-about-that-GW2-Article-on-Gamespy/page/2#post558147

Greetings

It would be helpful to know if any/all of you had completed an achievement before the extra tiers were added.

Hello everyone,

please keep in mind that it’s forbidden to post videos, names and screenshots of possible bots because they will be removed. Feel free to discuss this topic, but please refrain from these actions.

Hello everyone.

Thank you very much for your feedback, which will be passed on to the team.

Doing a check — PayPal is clear. The issues are individual, and for everyone who has experienced a declined purchase, they need to contact PayPal to find out why.

Thanks for your patience as we investigated this!

In order to get the hat, you need to play the event and get at least one “Mad King Says” emote right.

We noticed some confusion about the timing of Mad King Thorn’s activities in Lion’s Arch, specifically the “Mad King Says” game. Mad King Thorn will be appearing in Lion’s Arch every so often to play pranks, games, and “Mad King Says.” He plays “Mad King Says” about every 30 – 60 minutes, so if you arrive and he’s just finished, come back a bit later. He’ll be hanging around in Lion’s Arch until around Noon PDT / 19:00 GMT, tomorrow November 1.

Thanks, and enjoy the rest of the Halloween event

Halloween Guide, Phase 4

The Mad King has been reined in! His power diminished, the Prince of Puns seems to have been limited to the terms of his ancient curse: he can only visit Lion’s Arch once a year, on Halloween—and only just for fun. The portal to the Mad Realm in Lion’s Arch has been capped, and we’re safe to celebrate the spirit of Halloween. Join in on the Mad King’s Halloween games, and you may by surprised by his generosity.

If you haven’t carved every pumpkin in Tyria yet, now’s your chance. Talk to a master carver, located in Lion’s Arch and the Durmand Priory’s Halloween response camps in Queensdale, Metrica Province, the Plains of Ashford, Caledon Forest, and Wayfarer Foothills, to find out whether you’re a master carver too.

Magister Tassi has been pleased that so many have hunted down the ghosts from the Mad King’s past, but if you haven’t found all twelve, then you’re missing critical pieces of King Oswald Thorn’s infamous history!

May the sweetness you mine from candy corn nodes sustain you all year long! Happy Halloween!

Thanks for the feedback all. As Jonathan stated, the developers are extremely busy working on the game, going to meetings, etc, but they do read the forums in the brief moments they’re allowed to breath.

Is anyone else experiencing the PayPal issue? We’d like to look into some individual cases so please post!

It does not work on the Mystic Forge, magic find only effects the loot generated from killing monsters. (this includes crafting materials, higher tiers of loot like rares & exotics… etc… )

Granted Zomoross is mighty and I’m sure he randomly gives more favor to those who are wearing a tin foil hat in real life and are spinning in their chair while clicking the forge button he is evil like that.

Account recovery requires us to strike a difficult balance.

We need to ask for information that you know, but only you should know; the easier those questions are to answer, the less secure the recovery process. However, the harder those questions are to answer, the less likely that our players will be able to actually reclaim their own accounts through that mechanism.

Obviously we want to protect accounts as much as possible, but we also have another real concern to manage, which is helping players get back into the game as quickly as possible. Account recovery has been carefully designed to be generally secure (in terms of the questions it asks) while still being effective for as many players as we can help.

The combination of serial code and character name has proven to be a very effective balance for meeting these requirements. Keep in mind that unless you are being very selectively targeted by an attacker, the odds of them knowing your character names and serial code are extremely small. Account recovery is secure in the face of anonymous mass attacks based on stolen password databases and so on.

At some point we have to draw the line. There is no conceivable set of hoops to make you jump through in account recovery that could not be compromised by a suitably dedicated attacker. The fact is that protecting your account is a cooperative effort – we are happy to do everything we can, but there are also steps that individuals need to take to protect themselves.

Securing your email address with a unique password is a good first step. (And I don’t mean just “password123” instead of “password” – something totally unrelated to your other passwords is a good idea.)

sigh It’s good to know these things, so thanks again.

Hi.

We are encouraging the players that see episodes of hacking/exploiting to send a report to the following email address, exploits@arena.net, where the issue will be looked into by the security team.

Thanks.

Knote.2904:

That was all we needed Jon, just so you know.

Just something to show us we’re not invisible. Lol.

Na, it’s ok. From your point of view, it makes sense: you feel like no one is responding to threads, which must mean we’re not listening or that we do not care.

But as I’ve said before, we read the forums, takes, run to meetings, etc. We’re here, and we’re listening.

I understand your position and it makes sense. I just wanna let you know that we’re here and we are working hard. We just have our heads down as we fix bugs and put new things into the game.

Hello everyone.

As this thread has derailed into a personal exchange between two users, rather off-topic during the last posts, we will proceed to close it.

Thanks to all of you for your contributions.

Great, Freyar, good idea.

Also, I just got word that PayPal had some issues, but reports that it was fixed as of 10:15 PDT, which was one hour ago. Didn’t you try more recently than one hour ago?

Freyar — you caught me adjusting my response. I had thought this was a maintenance period, but then realized this is not the day for that maintenance period.

Thank you for doing the test, though. It confirms that it’s still broken (as our internal posts also indicate).

The team is looking into this right now.

Please address you concern to our forum manager at Forums@Arena.Net.

We had some player reports of issues with making purchases using PayPal. The team examined each case and found the PayPal does not have an overall issues, but is blocking some purchases. If you find you cannot purchase the game or gems through PayPal, please get in touch with PayPal and ask for an explanation.

Just wanted to jump in and say: posts that are well-written and constructive are a HUGE help. I realize that sometimes people get upset, and I honestly don’t mind strong language if someone is voicing an opinion different from my own. As long as both sides are passionate (which may lead to some strong points of view) but still OPEN to opposition, threads are a great way to come up with solutions.

And yes, I know that the reason you guys are SO strong in your posts is because you love the game and want it to improve. So while I may disagree with someone’s point of view, I can often still think, “Hey, this person is really enjoying the game, and they want it to be even better than it is. Due to this, they’ve gone to the forums to try and reach out to others in an effort to fix an issue they hold dear to their heart.”

And, to quote a brilliant thinker, Chris Rock, “Ain’t nothing wrong with that!”

I’m currently looking into this. Pumpkin carving and the tower do not count towards the title.

Please don’t boycott the forums. Even if we don’t have time to respond to each of your threads, we still use these threads to get tons of information.

As I’ve said in other posts on the forums, we are watching, even if we can’t post in every thread. We are working to fix bugs for ALL classes, Necromancer included. I’m sorry we can’t do everything as fast as you’d like, but GW2 is a massive game!

We may not agree with every post from every poster (and, as you know, you often disagree among yourselves) but these forums are still a great tool! We’re here, we’re listening, we’re just also super busy trying to make this the best game possible.

I am really sorry that you’re having this problem, but thank you for the reports because they helped us note that PayPal is currently down. The whole team is alerted to this now, and we’ll get this addressed as soon as possible.

Have you contacted support at all? Do you have a 12-digit incident or ticket number so that I can review this situation for you?

They only work on creature kills, chests however have a better table then normal kills. We wanted to avoid the game play of killing a boss and then having to equip your whole Magic Find set before opening the chest.

Also magic find is calculated from when the creature is killed so it’s also not viable to use your normal gear set kill a boss then switch to magic find.

Maugrem.7608:

I went back again and tried entering it manually and just realized that the code changes quickly on the app. I was able to link the account successfully.

Excellent. So glad you’ve gotten this on board, and thanks for posting to let us know!

Quinntero.1042:

I did. ANet’s Customer Service “unflagged” my account so that I could purchase more gems. Here’s the deal: Each time I make a $50.00 USD purchase in the Gem Store, ANet flags my credit card. The next time I try to make a similar purchase, ANet turns it down since they flagged it after the last purchase. Because it was a failed transaction, my credit card company also flags it and then my credit card becomes unusable. So, each 50.00 purchase results in my credit card becoming flagged both at ANet and the credit issuing company. I predict that this is going to have to change on ANet’s side of the transaction, because a tremendous amount of revenue is being lost and there are undoubtedly going to be a lot more purchasing opportunities in a month for the next holiday events.

That could be what is happening, sure. But what I’ve learned in investigating these situations is that it’s often the reverse order: The bank/CC issuing agency blocks the purchase, then unblocks it, but with that block, our security elements kick in, and it’s a circle that sometimes is best addressed with a call to the CC company rather than to us.

Having said that, since you’re discussing with Support, and since they can review your individual situation, I feel sure they’ll work with you and make the purchases possible.

I am very sorry that you’re having this level of frustration, and we really do want to make it easier and more pleasant for you to purchase gems! Thanks for sticking with us, despite the hurdles, and thanks for your support of our game!

I am going to ask our Security Coordinator about this. I understand your concerns, and I think things are more secure than you understand, but I’ll see if he can share some info on this and either he or I will post to get you up to date.

In general, named NPCs in a story step will revive you IF they’re not in combat.

The event will continue to run every 30-60 minutes all day long.

(Sorry on the original timing # misquote folks got confused and have now clarified the timing for us.)

Hello Zedaso.

This is an issue that you have to report to Customer Support through the ticketing system.They are the only ones who can help you with this incidence. In any case, I take note of it and proceed to forward it to the team.

Thanks.

Hello AliceKaye.

The ability of purchasing all those Halloween items will be gone, yes, but of course players will still be able to use what they bought any time. Also, you will be able to get them from other players in the TP. The rabbit ears and aviator caps will not go away since they are not Halloween items.

Hope this answers your question.

Perfect, then we proceed to close the thread since the doubt seems to have been solved.

Hello Striftoe.

Thank you very much for your feedback, which will be passed on to the team.

Pyrefly, please, check this thread about the same issue. The team is aware of it and working on it.

Thanks.

Chaosmesmer,

sometimes it is a matter of the in-box, that it is full of messages and therefore your purchases do not arrive . On other occasions, the objects arrive with a little bit of delay. We ask you for a little bit of patience in this respect and if you finally do not receive anything in the following hours, proceed to write a ticket to Customer Support.

Thanks.

Hello Smug.

There is no such a “memory function” at the moment and therefore, you cannot replay a personal story instance. You can reformulate your message as a suggestion in the Suggestion subforum, should you feel this needs to be improved.

Hello everybody,
as the original question has been answered, the thread will be locked.
Thanks for understanding.

Hello everyone.

We will forward the info here given to the team. However, the best way to proceed with this is not here, in the forums but rather sending an in-game report or via the ticketing system.

We will proceed to close the thread now.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hello everyone.

Niroy, obiemvy is right. Please, check the following thread for more information.

We proceed to close the thread.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hello everyone.

Morrigan and Nottsgman are right, Romisfh. Using the in-game reporting tools is the best way of helping us.

Thanks for the continued reports and everyone’s patience. It’s greatly appreciated!
