Guild Wars 2

Rayden.3695:

HoT will probably be never available via gems. This is because unlike LS2 content or Heroic/Deluxe edition of the basegame there is no other way to access the expansion content. Basically selling HoT in the gemstore would give Anet minimal income because players can convert gold to gems.

By that logic they should charge new players $100+ for the base game+HoT like they did to older players.

Due to how ANet screwed over early adopters like myself by giving the expansion essentially for free to new players, I refuse on principle to pay actual money for it. Has ANet said anything about when/if HoT will be available to buy with gems?

This sounds like a PEBCAK error. Are you sure you don’t have some mouse or keyboard software? Or have the skill set to autofire?

Title says it all. I don’t want to do Season 2 on my other characters but I am stuck with the prompt in the top right.

Choppy.4183:

Pretty sure he was making funny.

Got it in one. It’s still technically possible to have all 13 (Need to be in an enemy mesmers time warp with resistance to be able to do it), so it should remove 13.

Signet of Stamina active says it removes all conditions, but actually only removes 12. With the introduction of Slow, there are 13 conditions in the game.

I have not completed Season 2 on anyone except my Guardian.

Pressing the “Quit this Episode” button simply does nothing, meaning I have the Living Story compass permanently active. This is particularly annoying as the Scarlet Recap forced me into starting season 2.

They just bug everything.

I too still have this

It seems that everyone calls it Warbanner. Why is that?

With the ability to change ascended gear stats, what is the cheapest stats to actually make?

I’ll keep this short and sweet: We need the ability to set a different set of traits underwater as we do for skills. Furthermore, each skill that is unusable underwater should have a replacement rather than just being blanked out.

I know that underwater combat makes a tiny fraction of the game, and 0% in PVP because it’s too “difficult” to balance, but it would go a long way in making the game feel more polished.

Mossman can be pulled into the water again for a no-risk kill.

So, if we already own the game we have to pay for another copy? Don’t spin it as a “Free Copy” because it isn’t.

Seriously, 99% of the time I get a “net::ERR_TIMED_OUT” error. This has been happening for over a year now. The gem store seems to work just fine though. -rolleyes-

I have not progressed in it so I am not worried about losing any, but when I click “Quit this episode”, does nothing.

Is there any official explanation why this isn’t going to happen/taking so long to do?

Yup, that’s the exact error I get

So, my ISP (UPC, in Ireland) has enabled what they are calling “Dual Stack Lite”. This gives you an IPv6 address and shares a single IPv4 between X number of end users. Its a form of carrier grade NAT.

However, this causes the trading post to return a “net::ERR_TIMED_OUT” error in 99.9% of attempts to open it. This also affects the currency exchange and the gem store (winky winky). This means I can no longer throw my rent money into keys and llamas.

I know that this is on the ISP’s fault and that ANet have no control over it, but I thought I would mention it anyway just in case it’s something they could fix.

I agree, it should be adjustable.

See title really.

Simple really. I don’t see why this would be an issue. Even if you F2, F4, F2, there are still cooldowns for all the skills and I fail to see how Bleed>Swap>Bleed is any different from Bleed>Swap>Poison (for example.)

Please make it so that the ranger either fires 2 arrows per cycle (so the animation shoots 5 times) or half the arrows and double the damage.

The animation is beyond silly.

I’ve always used Longbow and Greatsword. Barrage is a fantastic AOE and rapid fire is mad OP now.

Simply cycle through all your skills as fast as you can and use the Autoattack only on cooldown.

Make it apply to levels 1-79 and it’s fine.

No-one else cares?

You can always opt for buying the traits. But wait, you want them for free, of course.

Skill points is not as easy as gold.

Yeah but you need 800 SP to unlock all the XIII traits on all classes, ANOTHER 800 SP to unlock XI and XII, and then ANOTHER 800 to unlock the master traits, AND THEN ANOTHER BLOODY 480 to unlock the minor traits, on top of 344 Gold

As it stands, only defending the Temple of Lyssa grants the trait unlock. Defending Arah or the other temples does not.

How are we supposed to unlock the XIII trait (and I suppose the XII for newbies) when it’s all but impossible to ever do the events? Defending a temple should be encouraged, but as it is now it’s far better to let it fail because you get better loot, more events and the chance for a trait unlock.

Add to that the fact that the megaserver system means the defend events never EVER fail…

I get there is the option to spend gold on the traits, but when it costs 120 gold plus 800 skill points to do so for all classes, it’s not really a viable option to do them all this way.

I can tell you right now, one of my friends never knew about skill #4 to rally until he was a good 2 weeks into the game.

I recently came back from a 6 month break and am so far enjoying this megaserver thing.

However, the site I used to use to monitor when Temple events are starting no longer works. Is there a site that does this anymore or is it not possible? I know boss events are on timers now.

Please don’t pick up kegs. At least half the people ignore you and pick up kegs.
Please range Warden 3. One platform always wipes because they melee.
So on and so forth.

Why do players in this game have such a problem listening to orders? In games such as Eve Online, if a Commander tells you to do something people actually listen.

It seems NCPlay has yet to resolve the “dispute” despite several other companies having done so (which is BS since they don’t have the right to even make a claim because it’s protected under fair use.)

One boring game mode. Warriors that take 6 opponents to kill. Mesmers that can 1 shot any non-warrior class and thanks to the new signet are also now unkillable. Thieves that can never be caught. Fair builds are simply not viable, you have to cheese out to do anything.

Can someone explain to me why people enjoy this? I do 3 matches a day for my daily and it’s insufferable. Not to mention I’m stuck on 7/8 professions killed because 90% of the players are warrior or mesmer.

I literally just saw a warrior kill 5 of the opposing team and walk off at full health. How is this in any way considered fun?

Has Anet ever given an explanation as to why this basic guild function has not been implemented?

G600 all the way. The first bank of 6 thumb buttons + the GShift functionality gives you great control in combat with the 2nd bank for ancillary functions.

Thank you!

Message Body length must at least be 15.

So, recently there was a thread about someone getting to level 80 in the Human Starting zone, but I can’t seem to find it. Does anyone have the link?

Please PLEASE For the love of the Six nerf Healing Signet. It is not balanced that a warrior can tank and kill 3 other players without even needing to pop a healing skill.

If you don’t like what someone is saying, block them. This isn’t North Korea where ANet controls what people say. Personally, there shouldn’t even be a report button for “Verbal Abuse” because there is both a block button and a swear filter.

The world is not dynamic any more since is started out at release. The LS does not know event chains, only success or failure. That’s partly why it is so boring: It is 100% predictable.

Effort is necessary for event chains, but with the tight schedule on the LS, being creative on events just seems to be impossible. Makes me a sad panda. :/

You mean players aren’t 100% satisfied with the oodles of flawless, interactive content being released every two weeks???

Flawless? The releases that need 3-4 emergency patches every time to fix crap they didn’t bother testing?

Basically, on the latest Angry Joe Video, at the 3 minute mark (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAi81_uvztM#t=180), we see that “PlayNC” has thrown a copyright claim at Angry Joe for showing a picture of him and his Guildmates dancing in the background.

I would like to know if this is just an automated Youtube thing (and what steps they are taking to correct it) or if NCSoft is deliberately trying to take down Angry Joe’s videos despite the praise he has given the game.

Phy.2913:

Pretty sure the portal across from the LA portal in Rata Sum is part of the asura personal story.

It’s used in some of the asura personal story.

Give us a toggle option please to display these facts as % on the bar. I don’t really care what my pets max hp is in a certain area, I just want to know how much percentage health it has left of the max.

Don’t have anything that has its progress affected by other players in the open world.

Seriously, when you have achievements that are tied into people not completing the events, and having people who do the events simply to frustrate others, it seems like ANet is run by amateurs.

It said fractal fortnight, not fractal month. If you really wanted the AP you would have spammed level 1s to get it.

I did only level 30s and 40s and got it, so zero sympathy.

Anen.1742:

Don’t get a patch => people complain the game is bugged.
Get a patch to fix said bugs => people complain for having a patch.

What else?

It shouldn’t need a patch to fix bugs less than 24 hours after a release. They should test the bloody thing first.

Anyone else surprised? /s

Zaxares.5419:

kitten . So much for my backup plan to cheese the achievement by relogging and joining the Fractal with a fresh character after the Core was destroyed. XD

Well, nothing to do but keep your experiences in mind next time I get the Molten fractal. I’ll update this thread if I learn anything.

You can jump off the cliff into the lava before the test begins and let the other 4 kill the core and you’ll get the achievement.

TimeBomb.3427:

It’s against the rules and bannable to macro like that. As Gaile has said before, one button press = one button press. Macro Button A performing the role of the A key is fine. But Macro Button A performing the role of A + B is against the rules, and bannable.

Did you even read the OP? He’s asking if it’s ok to set a macro to loop a button press.

@OP: If you set it up on a random timer every couple of seconds it’ll be indistinguishable from you just hitting the key every few seconds. You could even set it to toggle every time you pressed the key or something.
