Seeker Pants Dye colours wrong on Norn

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

The Medium Armour skin – Seeker pants has a bunch of straps around it that can be changed in colour, however the colour corresponds to the wrong dye section when worn on a Norn.

As long as a player isn’t using a key press to control more than 1 character, I’m fine. Hell If I could use my toes, or use 1 hand for each character I’d do it.

If his characters are moving and using the exact same skills, it’s highly likely it’s automated. I report and move on.

All personal story items can be acquired otherwise as well. Karma I believe,

Nope, there are quite a fair bit of pvp and story rewards that don’t exist in normal PvE areas. The studded shoulders are one of it. Most likely an old model that escaped scrapping in PvP and story.

Sourcing for parts and building it yourself would probably be much cheaper than using that site.

I do not reside in the US so I don’t believe I can help too much on your build, I highly recommend visiting a forum that’s dedicated to this and they can help you much better (also remember to provide them details like your location etc.)

Complaints about Suspensions for Unacceptable Names/Chat [merged]

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: AwwGee.5628

AwwGee.5628

I agree, having reviewed the TOS, that my name could be construed as inappropriate and that action should have been taken. That being said, I do not think a 3-day suspension is appropriate.

Possibly offensive? Don’t use it at all or it’s a risk.

That does not mean my punishment is fair. Nor does it mean the current system is just.

Subjective perception. Justice and fairness differs in every culture. The culture of the punishments in this game is simply not in line with what you perceive you should be punished for. Not unjust.

You’re not going to get anywhere by appealing to emotions of fairness and justice.

it was a harmless, fictitious name that was never meant to harm anyone. I believe that is an important distinction to make, as there are names out there intended to hurt and insult others. This was not the case with my name. But, as will be seen, Anet does not currently make those distinctions.

Harmless? Not harmless enough if it warranted a change. And how exactly would anet make those distinctions? Based on their feelings? Based on what the player tells them? For all they know you could have intended to harm, and thought you could get away if it wasn’t too severe or strong. Whose word do they believe?

Blanket restriction eliminates loopholes that offenders can jump through.

There is no mechanic within the game, currently, that allows for a player to change their name or request a name change. I am sure that Anet has the power to change my name, but I, the player, do not. I cannot fix this violation of “in-game behavior” without severe consequences to my character’s progress.

Contact support.
Could have been avoided by simply PMing a staff member on the lines of ‘Hi, I believe my name has the potential to be offensive and would like to change it. I’m not sure how to do so, could you point me in the right direction?’

Just because you were not provided with an automated solution does not mean it is not available.

People do not pay money to enter my house. They do not spend countless hours building my house. If they did, they would be afforded a certain amount of respect. This current policy is disrespectful to customers who otherwise have a sterling record and have cause no other disruptions in a game.

People pay money to enter hotels. They can still be kicked out when in violation of expectations. They reserve the right to refuse service.

Respect is earned, not given. You have an inappropriate name – what’s there to respect about that?

Not simply more rewards, but unique rewards that have no equivalent anywhere else.

The difference doesn’t matter. You can beat this game in “greens” with little to NO problem. That ALONE, makes it optional.

It does. This is not subjective and based on opinion, it is objective and fact. with 1 more power I will deal 1 more damage than the guy next to me if he were doing everything the same. Simple as that.

By your reasoning everything is optional. You can enter dungeons at level 2 no problem, go ahead. You don’t even need to wear armor for anything. Troll away

Serious customer service problems

your password system is jacked up.

1. Your wife doesn’t know her own password
2. You don’t have a serial key

So it’s not really that the system is jacked up but you don’t take password security as seriously as you should. Which is exactly what ArenaNet knows is happening and wants to remedy. (might want to actually save your proof of purchase/registration codes as well)

I suggest that your wife try and find her old password if you aren’t patient enough to wait through support. If she has used the password before on a browser (and probably saved it, seeing that’s what she does) she can possibly find out what it is.

Here’s some helpful links:

Either way anet does not seem to want to fix the issue. Would not take them long too look where the stuff went from this account and deal with it. If I get more results with Visa then so be it.

Well you still have your account. The rest is about personal responsibility since it seems you haven’t taken the proper measures to prevent that from happening.

Whether you ask anet or visa for a refund, your account will be terminated and is non-restorable. So long I guess.

Which you are NOT required to get. The minimal increase does very little to make you stronger, and what little increase it DOES make, accounts for NOTHING if you can’t hit the person that’s killing you.

And If I can hit the person? Vertical progression is not optional.

There’s a small difference between ascended and exotic.
A small difference between exotic and rare.
A small difference between rare and masterwork.
A small difference between level 80 gear and 79.
A small difference between level 78 gear and 79.
And this goes on.

No one says this is an astronomical impact, but it’s a fact that a difference exists and is there.
Stop using this ‘argument’ to try and debunk a fact. You are not required to get gear, no one is.

Can anyone help?

I didn’t start the game until Dec. 14th, today I logged in and found my character had green gear and no gold, my other accounts where gone. I do not have a keylogger, I do not buy gold from offsites. I did call Visa and they said this does fall under theft and fraud. They took the information I had. Maybe Visa will get more involved than Anet seems too want too.

Are you 100% sure you have not used your email and password (or something similar) that you are using now for GW2 for any other sites?

If you are going to get visa to go between you and anet they will probably refund you if you ask for a chargeback. There are consequences to this, do look things up.

Immobilize and Stun Breaks

Immobilize is a condition.

They are not mutually exclusive.

Dungeons and groups, where to start?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: AwwGee.5628

AwwGee.5628

yes you can start at 30 for ascalonian catatombs story mode. I suggest leveling past that though, it’s pretty brutal.

Basically there’s no real level restriction, just recommended minimum levels. You could do fractals on level 2, but it’s a pretty unspoken rule for you to be 80. If you’re doing it with guildies or friends they might be okay with you being lower in level though.

Are Necromancers that bad?

in Players Helping Players

They’re not so bad you have to reroll.

The problem with necros are their lack of damage per se really, so people who speedrun would rather not have them around.

Other than that as long as you enjoy your class, you’re fine.

Legendary Weapon Pair? Help w/ Decision Pls?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: AwwGee.5628

AwwGee.5628

I would say moot and flameseeker.

The problem with dual legendaries (mainhand/offhand) is that the effects clash with each other. From what has been observed so far, for those with footstep effects only the mainhand leg will have the footsteps, so what will probably happen with moot/bolt is that whichever is on your mainhand you will have the footstep effects of that weapon.

Haven’t seen how the other effects of bolt and moot interract with each other, personally I would not want to take the risk (anet isn’t exactly fast with fixing these things on legendary too)

In fact more problems may occur if they say decide to update flameseeker with footsteps or other effects too.

It’s really the animations that sorta unbalance me. I hate it when I break into a run and then my charr gets on all fours and screw up my depth perception.

Not to mention some armors look absolutely hideous on asura and charr.

I’ll stick to my humanoids. In fact I prefer sylvari over Norn just because they look more proportionate and less musclebound.
