I haven’t even touched my desktop gamma which is the strange part…. maybe ill have a play with the settings when i wake up tomorrow and see if it effects anything
I have had an issue start today, and have changed nothing in any settings, in game or on my PC.
When i run the game in windowed mode, the screen is really dark (Ive always run the game in windowed and never had any issues) but when i run it in Full screen native resolution the brightness is fine! Taking screen shots always shows the screen as dark, as well as fraps.
I have a AMD HD6950 graphics card.
Any help would be appreciated, as well as any help why my fraps is so dark :p
Oh yay, more QQ on portals, lets nerf the Mesmer more so that no one plays one and its a boring class, L2P and counter a portal, its really not that hard if your paying attention.
You know Mesmer’s can portal in the EB puzzle right? I and a few other of my guildies do it a lot to bypass the griefers that stalk the dark and gladiator rooms, not to mention it wastes a lot less time than the guild spending hours in there when there is legitimate work to be done in WvW! Find and kill the Mesmer(s) GG!
I have found that if you link Waypoints or POIs you get this error very quickly. Simple typing has stopped all my messages being supressed. Hope this helps till its fixed
So here is what happened to me just about 3 hours ago. First, I have an email and password dedicated to GW2 and nothing else. I also have the mobile authenticator enabled. I am 100% sure there are no trojons, or keyloggers on my computer. I logged on this evening and was put into a Lions Arch overflow server. I was standing at the bank when I was asked to ping my Twilight in /say, which I did. About 1 minute later I was disconnected to the character select screen, I jumped back in the game and was disconnected almost instantly. Jumped back on, disconnected again but this time a message popped up saying something along the lines of the account being used from another location. I immediately went to the account management page and tried to access my account but of course my password had been changed. I was able to reset it to a totally never before used password and log back on. In a period of maybe 3 minutes the hacker had got all my gold, t6 mats, and a good bit of my other mats. Of course when I logged back on I imagine the hacker got kicked to the character select screen and so we battled for control back and forth for a few minutes. Here is the strange part tho, once I stopped getting kicked I went to log into account management only to discover my password was changed again! Within maybe 8 minutes of me setting it to a totally unique password the hacker had changed it! This time I was unable to reset it and created a support ticket. Support was able to help me get control of the account again but I’m not at all sure that it will stay that way considering how quickly and easily it was hacked in the first place.
Sorry to hear this, did the hacker delete your Twilight as well as everything else?
Seems i had the strange hack of someone just deleting all my characters, not just my gear, i couldnt care less about the gear (other than my legendary) but my characters…
Still waiting to hear from support on my issues, hopefully today when they wake up i will hear weather they can reinstate my characters.
I find it hard to believe that they cant replace items that have been lost, this isn’t an indy company and I’m sure as hell they have logs i just don’t think they want to admit that they have some serious security issues and want to keep it under wraps.
(although to be honest, this isn’t a subscription game, so they don’t really loose anything if people quit because they lost some pixels)
On Monday my HDD blew up, i have a fresh install of Windows AV and all sorts of protection on my PC, believe me i am very secure with it as being disabled gaming is my life and only hobby. Kinda makes me want to go find another game to play even tho Guild Wars is something i love, just the prospect of having to explore everywhere again, do all the crafting let alone getting my legendary back… its kinda disheartening

i have changed all the above, (ma game email and main email and passwords are all different) and the response to the ticket i sent was this

I was just going to respond with the information that I had acquired: “This account shows zero logins from unapproved IPs – not even attempts. If all the details are accurate, they were attacked by someone who has physical access to their approved/accepted machines.”
I live alone….
ponder Have you had an suspicious delivery persons? A pizza you didn’t order showing up with a sketchy looking person who lingered around your computer? I don’t mean to make light of a serious, but I’m really confused about this one.
I will let our Security Coordinator know about this, as I think it sheds new light on the issue. One question: Do you save your credentials on your account on your computer? Just curious.
Nope, nothing of the sort, im very secure i keep nothing on there at all and i dont even have WiFi nothing at all is saved on my account. id really like this sorted asap as ive lost so much

Today i logged into my account and had all my 8 characters deleted, 3 level 80s one with a legendary Twilight. No email to say that the account was accessed from another IP everything i have ever worked on has gone. I’m very disappointed to say the least as i have worked very hard on all these characters one of which is a commander with a substantial amount of gold on its person.
My guild mates advise me that i was logged in when i was sleeping but they didn’t think anything of it as i have a strange sleeping pattern.
I would really appreciate my account being restored asap especially the legendary (and if you can make my Mesmer an Asura i would be doubly grateful! (just joking to try to cheer up my bad mood, but this would be a nice bonus considering i have a different password for my email and game account, and restore my faith in anet :p
What sort of authentication do you have on your account? Two-factor auth or email auth? Thanks.

I have this exact same problem, im using a Steelseries merc stealth ( language Croatian) and the mod from the guru forums, yet after about 10 mins of play the F and V keys switch places. I have changed the language in region to UK, US and also Croatian and yet the game pad always changes the keys around.
Its highly annoying for me as i have ostio-arthritus in my left hand so the game pad is perfect for me. Can anyone help as to why the keybinds keep changing all the time?
