Hey all! This thread is a great idea im kinda sad i missed it all this time. spent almost an hour reading through all sorts of requests and the responses from people kittenieved their items

My request is a silly one i guess but i’d like a mystery gift from someone. even 1 copper would be enough, i just want to feel like someone read my post and said yes i’ll do that and then i can thank them

Best Wishes all around xxx

EDIT: im on EU (~‘.’)~

EDIT/UPDATE: Three lovely lovely people sent me things and it really felt awesome. i got two minis, a skin, some food for my character to use and a total make over kit! i managed to personally thank the first two people with a special message and a gift of their own but unfortunately i lost the mail of the third! -sad face-

Hopefully they can message me and say it was them so that i can do a more personal thank you. Lots of love and hugs!

EDIT/UPDATE2: The mystery gifter came forward! As promised here is a picture of my character

Thanks for the response, I’ll give them a couple more days before I say anything. They don’t need more emails in their life than absolutely necessary

Hey, just want to ask a quick question that perhaps the community can answer for me.

I accidentally made a repeat gem purchase instead of gifting the second one, through my own fault. Support was very friendly and accepted the mistake and indicated I’d receive the gems back.

My question is simply how long does this usually take and how does i know when it happens.

I’m not in a rush, but since tge initial support ticket was sent too now it’s been 6 days. 3 for the ticket to process and be approved and them 3 days of silence. I’m merely asking incase I should follow up, but I don’t want to bother support with extra emails if this is still within the norm.

Best wishes too all x

People angry over area map completition...

Full disclosure: I play pve and recently pvp. One day I will wvw. Maybe. For now I find the content I’m playing enough for me .

I think too many of you are slinging mud without really affecting the other side much.

Personally I think both sides should chill out and realise that the game is designed to be played as desired. Not as others desire for you.

It’s simple, really.

WvW players : don’t expect pve players too not come there, it’s part of their game and it’s a part of their end goal. Consider them spectators or npcs. Treat them with some humanity, if it’s within your rotation invite them along too where you’re going and they need to be. Chat a little, maybe you’ll inspire them and they’ll be hard core wvw players one day. They’re not leaving just because you’re annoyed / angry / raging. PvE players are completionists. They run fractal 50+ for the mere fact that it exists, you’re words mean nothing.

PvE players: you’re in an environment with different rules and expectations. You’re a guest in a world that doesn’t bend to your individual desires. See what you can do when you can, if it’s not working try another part, come back later. Ask what you can do, you may have something you need near by. Also, you just need to run to these places, yea you might die, maybe adjust your skills to suit the place you’re in. Be sneaky, be a ninja. You play for yourself, consider that way point your first tequatl kill or the point of interest as your first try through arah. When it’s done you can pat yourself on the back, you just solod a massive dungeon where the ai is more brutal than any dungeon you’ve run. Smile and wave and leave with grace. Or come back and maybe learn a new part of the game you never experienced.

Despite reading this thread I still love this community, it has a lot of love

If any one from any of the three major game types want to try out something they dont usually play, feel free too add me for anything, I won’t shout at you for coming into my space, I like the company

Dungeon Mentors [Noob]

Student application
Class: guardian
Gear: Berserk
Server: EU piken square

Hi, not sure exactly what the method for applying is but here goes.

I’d love to learn the nitty gritty technical side of running speed runs and just generally improving what i do. I know all dungeons and run fractals (29 at the moment). im one away from dungeon master (arah path 4) and i refuse to buy any paths ever. who wants a bought title right?

At the moment i am using and switching utilities as they are needed per fight but its from self learning and the occasional suggestion from others. There may be cases where im just not using the optimum skills and id love to have someone show me an ideal set up for any given dungeon. as i said, i want to learn the nitty gritty optimum set ups for my guardian.

Please add me to the guild and if i get good enough id love to mentor others

lots of love xxx

Just bought the game, can't use mailed items

Posted by: ABalloon.6924

i may be wrong but surely its simpler to log on your test character and deposit the items into your storage as they share across all characters. storage can be located in any major city or starting area and are labeled as banks on the map.

perhaps im missing something about this issue but if not then that seems like the best option, rather than having support go and delete characters and shuffle things around

~cheers

I believe you’re right! I mis-read and thought the first character had been deleted with the items. Yes, the chest and items are initially account bound. If you use the skins, then they become character- (or soul-) bound. But you can open the chest and retrieve the items with any character, even your second. Just be sure that when you use the skin, you choose wisely.

Ha ha, thought so. It’s ok Gaile you do awesome work, i come across your stuff often. You’re a trooper keep it up

I like to read the Dev Tracker daily, best thread to read in my opinion (~‘.’)~

Zerker nerfed, allow us to swap asc gear

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ABalloon.6924

ABalloon.6924

Full disclosure, i run pure zerkers and only zerkers. i do it because i find risk/reward gameplay fun. people often assume that zerker gear is the only option cause it is the fastest way to clear content, increasing its time/reward ratio.

anyone that’s played any content with pugs will know that while zerkers is popular, a bad player is a bad player and they end up hurting themselves and their allies in following the trend to run glass cannon builds. this is not faster, this is slower. downing 8 times a fight is far slower than not downing at all and losing out on 50% of your damage output.

now that that’s out of the way i’d just like to point out an error quite a few posters have been making.

a lot of people are saying that a change to mobs, elites and champs needs to happen and an overhaul to the way people engage content needs to change. they also talk about this change never happening and that this makes zerkers the obvious pro choice for every encounter as active defense is enough to carry you through any battle unscathed making it the superior choice every time.

there have been a lot of dev cdi posts talking about an ai overhaul that plans to be implemented in order to address this issue. I think a lot of zerkers are scared of the change to their gear because they assume it will be nerfed to the current content meaning that they no longer get as fast a reward for the time they put in. this leads to a lot of assumptions on how horrific the change will be and a lot of fear that the time they have invested in their gear will be for naught.

Anet would have to be incredibly dumb to nerf it to the current content with a big change to how the games ai interacts with players incoming lest they go through all of this again rebalancing each class to fit the new content just a couple of months later . if anything, zerker gear will be nerfed to fit the new content and that nerf will more than likely be minor, only enough to put it on equal footing with other strats and gear.

Also you may find that they are gracious enough to allow a stat switch for all classes when the new ai releases for any ascended gear as its going to change the meta of every class. they don’t have to do it, they could say a big kitten you but they probably wont.

I’m at work and rush wrote this, there may be some errors/flaws. happy to clarify or enter discussion if anyone has any issues with what ive said. trolls will be ignored

~Peace ^.~

Fractal runs for new players to learn on

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: ABalloon.6924

ABalloon.6924

So, the new fractal release is upon us soon (or even up as im writing for all i know).

I suspect a lot of players that don’t run fractals are going to end up trying it out now with the new rewards or even just for fun.

Me and a friend (Gilda Ironheart) are here to help and teach new players fractals

We don’t profess to be professional fractal runners with a fractal reward level of 80 prior to the update. we have however, played them a lot and should have no trouble teaching new players between level 1 – 20 how to go about fractal runs.

The only requirements are that you are level 80 and that you do not shout, hate on, abuse, mock or otherwise belittle other novices within our run.we will not chase you away or shout at you or call you names or any of that, even if we should be unable to complete the fractal. it won’t bother us in the slightest, you are welcome to explore and learn in a safe, friendly, helpful environment

We obviously won’t know the new content either so perhaps you’ll help us solve some of the challenges ahead.

Hit us up on the EU server of Piken Square if you’re interested. Send a PM or a whisper (PM is safer, i may be smoking or eating or something) to either me – ABalloon.6924 (Shattered Obsidion) or Zyra.7432 (Gilda Ironheart).

Hopefully see you in a fractal soon

Not even released and already bugged?

i cant be bothered to read all the responses so maybe someone already pointed this out.

i think you’d be hard pressed to find unreleased content in any game that has 0 bugs. the title of this thread feels completely redundant. it’s like saying indie game developer launches kickstarter and already unfinished game.

every game has bugs after it’s release. the amount of testing you can do with a limited number of testers is always going to be inferior to the data you collect from a full player base after release.
