Guild Wars 2

It´s for the Account. Buying it once will allow all your toons to access HoT

As far as I know, the mac client is not native yet, meaning it´s a 32-bit vine wrapper, so no 64-bit at the moment for mac.

Key runs shouldn’t even be a thing in the first place

I’m curious about this part – can you eloborate?

Do I really have to elaborate on why it’s bad design that the game reward people for leveling a character to level 10, deleting it and repeating the process non stop?

The reward (BL-Key) is just once a week.

yes, you can just move all the files in a new folder and play

it´s 1 per day across all the crafting disciplines

you have to buy it?
you can´t apply 1 HoT code on 2 accounts, neither can you transfer it between accounts

As far as I know, you can´t delete a mail which contains gold/items.

How about opening an ticket and asking the support team while leaving the mail untouched?
In my eyes this would be the safest way ….

it´s not different for every map. It´s game-wide. Only some fractals/dungeons are always day or night

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Day_and_night

“In most areas of the game, day and night alternate according to the day-night cycle. Any zone or instance that does not follow the cycle will be permanently frozen in either the day state or the night state.”

as far as i know, when it´s night in VB it´s also night in the rest of Tyria …

or you could use the event timer for the new maps on dulfy and check status of Verdant Brinks?

oh, such an unique and new idea

Scandi.5693:

… and have never in any game but this seen ‘luck’ concentrated on so few accounts ….

Scandi.5693:

… There are too many instances of lucky people …

you are contradicting yourself ….

Every account has the exact same chance on RNG.

I don’t for once believe that. The fact that my Ranger is the only one able to drop Pre-cursors, while my first char an Ele which I played for the majority of the hours I spend in GW2 could only get as best Exotics even during Mystic Toilet dropping.

When I got The Hunter, you know how many rares I drop into the Mystic Toilet?
A total of 4.
Yes, 4.

As for the Spark, its the same story. 4 total.

And on both occasions, it was because I wanted to get rid of the rares that is hogging up my bags I didn’t expect it.

As for the Venom, I couldn’t remember where i got it, but I think it was during a dungeon run with my Ranger….

While my Ele which is my main char most of the time with hundreds and hundreds of World Boss kills and Dungeon runs, meta runs, best she has got is only Exotics. Even fractals runs (lets not count the bonus chest where you get Asc rings, because I got about 3 of those, while the rest are bought by laurels) and even on purpose dropping rares into the Mystic Toilet. My ele is 0 precursors after 1439 hours+. Remember, with the most World Boss Kills and Champ kills and dungeon runs, Fractal runs.

While my Ranger is 203hours+ and she is 3 pre-cursors and counting. I don’t like using my Ranger because it’s boring and with a pet, I am always just standing there pew pewing.

My Guardian and Necro are occasional Exotic drops. Like 1 or 2 after a long long time.

My Mesmers 2 of them hardly get me anything worth while.

My warriors? I don’t remember getting anything better than rares, And those are from the bonus chest, not the boss chest.

As for the rest of my characters, it’s white, blue and greens…….

do you realize that all your chars are on 1 Account?

John Smith.4610:

Every account has the exact same chance on RNG.

you can contact CS, but I´m sure the answer will be “no”, sorry

its very easy to get to your home instance for free from the terrace ….

or they could gate the new specs behind new masteries ….

maybe he just didn´t know how to start HoT story?

Stoaga.8190:

I enjoy paying 50 dollars and getting half the content removed from the game, yay thanks anet

lol

Colin Johanson sez:
From a marketing standpoint, it (and the ESL weekly cups and WTS tournaments before it) has been extremely successful so far, among the most successful projects our marketing team has ever launched to grow our title in the history of the Guild Wars franchise in return for the cost. If you don’t like it more power to you, don’t watch, but it’s absolutely helping our marketing folks make Gw2 a bigger game which I’d hope we’re all excited about. If you want to see the game fail I’m not sure what you’re doing here, but rooting against programs like pro league is basically rooting against Gw2 growing. When folks come here and rip on stuff like PvP, you’re basically hurting the games ability to grow – and personally I would say shame on you, if you truly love the game, be constructive and give awesome feedback and suggestions: but don’t knock it just cause it’s not PvE. And let’s be honest, it beats spending marketing funds on taxi confession ads or people spray painting wall cinematics if you ask me.

and in Silverwaste it can be the buff which prevents you from entering another path.

no and no

… I don´t want such a diff-adjuster, but instead of using multiple instances of maps I think you could just apply some kind of buffs on the player?

where did you buy your key from?

vote for merge …..

try it ^^

yes, they can and will …. it´s clearly against the ToS

try to open the store by selling something out of the inventory or directly going to the guy and talk to him. on my mac this works.

Werdx.2059:

As far as i know,with expansion release in mmo,you get : New content,new dungeons,new raids,new items,new awesome looking zones.

In expansion HoT we got : Mastery system,which you need in order to complete 4 new zones.4 new zones,looking like SW and Brisband Wildlands mixed together.(Nothing new about them)And new specialization.Ok,that coust us 50 euros (or even 100)

No one said raids,new items and rest of the kitten,is going to be late for month after HoT release.

People are stupid and naive,if they thing they actually paid for all arena net said HoT is going to have.We paid for new specialization,mastery system and 4 new zones.

Rest of the things,they add in future is only patch,nothing else,and ArenaNet employers can say,your money bought you,this,and thins,and this,and every single update until next expansion,but that’s not true,we bought 4 maps,and 30 events,nothing else.

Please look at wow expansions.(comparing wow because that’s only mmo i played besides GW2) They get 7-8 new zones every expansion,2-3 raids,5 dungeons,tons of new armors,and all that at same time,with expansion release.

please don´t call me stupid and naive. please go play wow.

so:

Happy Anniversary Gaile!

it´s only 28 MB ….

oh, sry, my bad. i use in bootcamp a logitech m570 or a wireless microsoft mouse without any issues. Also used a 5€ mouse a time ago, also with no issues, but this mouse was crap. maybe you can update your bootcamp drivers?

dulfy.1493:

I have i7-4790k with GTX 970 as my video card.

I did some research. There appears to be a bug with the compiler runtime, where it can generate code that just won’t run with certain CPU/OS combinations. My understanding is that all Windows versions after Windows 7 SP1 should be functional. Do you have any service pack installed for your Windows 7? If not, updating to SP1 may be worth a shot. It may be a good idea anyway since support for non-SP1 Windows 7 ended in 2013.

It would be great if we can ensure this doesn’t happen in a future patch, but since it’s on such a core thing as the compiler runtime it may be out of our hands unfortunately. Will have to look into it a bit more.

Taverius.8645:

Whenever I try to start a story instance on the x64 client, the map never gets loaded (according to -maploadinfo) and it times out.

Is this still true? I believe there were some issues earlier today (if my eavesdropping skills are up to par).

Valiant.8016:

Precisely how long will this “beta” period be for?

I would think “beta” is a taboo word with the Mac client being in “beta” status for the better part of 3 years.

I think in general we don’t tend to drop the beta tag until we’re completely satisfied with how it runs. That just hasn’t happened yet for the Mac client, for multiple reasons. I realize it won’t make much of a difference at this point, but we sincerely do intend to get it from being barely an okay experience to at the very least a good one, with the goal being a great one. As all good things though, it will take time.

Maoric.6132:

Then why is it that I can use high res character textures on the 32-bit client, but not the 64-bit client?

That’s a very good question. If you post a dxdiag output (instructions in an earlier post), I will certainly investigate.

weiilunz.8043:

i have this error when i try to open gw2-64 in my gw2 folder.

See my response to dulfy at the top of this very post.

NeHoMaR.9812:

Looks like the 64bit version can’t play with partially downloaded client, need full download.

By the way, I want the Exe name to be Gw2.exe, because I track the time I use with applications. Maybe I can rename it? or maybe the final version of this will be in different folder? or better, remove 32bits support and change to 64bits with the same name?

About my testing, I don’t see any difference, apart of the exe using more RAM.

It should work with a partial download. That said, there’s a known bug where the game sometimes (rarely) thinks all the files are required. Restarting the launcher may fix it.

As for renaming the executable, go ahead. The name has no significance what-so-ever.

Nikon.3921:

GW2 is also crashing for me when I run the 64bit version.

See my response to dulfy at the top of this post.

So now it’s between massive 32 bit crashes or 7fps?

Come on….

did you add the 64-bit client to the list of Nvidia high-performance processor’s?

what about buying a cheap mouse?

yes, the code expires.
maybe you should contact CS because the delay

i still don´t see where Central Tyria Mastery requires jumping puzzles.

i love it!

Eddie Mo.7169:

… Just make them pure aesthetics. …. Maybe give them a 50% move speed bonus….

????
lol

1 – please no
2 – please no
3 – please no
4 – please no

ever thought that people may be here cause gw2 is NOT like all the other games?

when i got this kind of error, my hdd was about to die. maybe you should check the state of your drive (bad sectors)

is this character standing in pvp?

there is no native client for OS X

The delay is because of possible fraud. you can´t spend the gems and go away before they see a card ist stolen or something

Pandaman.4758:

You can climb off your high horse though, Anet isn’t going to change their stance any time soon. Or don’t, whatever. You’ll still think what you do, and I’ll still think what I do, either way.

No, no, I think I’ll stay on my high horse. It wouldn’t be fair if you were the only one on a horse, after all.

mounts confirmed!
(sry, couldn´t resist)

Do you by any chance have stored the game in the program´s or similar?
try to move to the desktop or any new folder outside of win´s standard folders

You can contact the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Submit a Request’ (upper right corner) for assistance.

however, there can´t 2 people logged in at the same time in the same account.
also I would change my email password also

FielDHooD.1829:

I was planning on playing this game again. But there IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT I AM PLANNING OR EVEN GOING TO CONSIDER BUYING HoT FOR $50 OR WHAT EVER PRICE THEY ARE ASKING, its RIDICULOUS. Its like buying a brand new game. I rather buy The Elders Scroll Online and experience a new game for that SAME price. EITHER LOWER THE PRICE OF HoT FOR THOSE THAT ALREADY LOYALLY PLAYED THE GAME FOR YEARS or Ill Be playing some other MMO. Im sure im not the only one with the same opinion)

NO NEED TO USE CAPS. Go on, play ESO and be happy

PaxTheGreatOne.9472:

1. I hope this will not be implemented, mostly due to the abuse which this will cause. Suggestions to this point have been made over and over again and dismised by the community
2. You can ping the individual traits now whichis a good step up from before, but most people still default to build editors to do so. I agree on this one
3. I have no problems with the camera at all. but i have gotten used to all quirks.
4. Ping is Shift+click on mini map and you can mark the normal map, shift will also place location names in chat box, shift and move will allow fro drawing on the mini map. seen by opthers and most often ignored
5. turn of your sounds. problem solved.

4. I think the Ping to the server is meant here

vote for merge

sure. but every farther ticket will slow down the process. you should close your ticket and your wife should work with support
