So does anyone have any workaround on this issue? It’s really annoying..
It seems that sometimes system just “miss” key up action and keep thinking key is pressed.
Also it looks like global a Mac OS problem connected to the way system processing keyboard signals, cause same issue I can see in other games.
The most interesting question of this thread is:
Who is Dan.5416
I’m just a casual player that rooting for his server
Guys, don’t blame each other, please. This topic is not about who is wrong or who is more ‘white’. I really believe that all servers should be respected for their pains and progress.
WvW is a good war simulator and who said there shouldn’t be any alliances? We just should remember that it’s still the game and we are all playing for the same aim – fun!
I really hope SFR and Piken will consolidate their forces to make Vizunah come third on the last round.
This will be great profit for both servers:
SFR will get 31 points to share 1st place with Vizunah
Piken will get 25 points to share 3rd place with JS
I think such distribution will be fair, as there was no chance for SFR to meet Vizunah without Piken, also there was very strong pressure on Piken through the whole season.
And we should remember that SFR and Piken is not national servers as Vizunah is, that makes them somehow weaker.
a single, short notification alike sound at completely random intervals. It sound similar to facebook notification, or the clip-clop sound you make with your tongue.
It’s Skype. Disable sound notification of contacts coming online in it.
iTunes (on Windows) also uses default proxy settings and it asks for proxy username and password. Connection in iTunes works only after I enter proxy credentials.
GW2 client doesn’t ask any credentials and in IE settings there is no username and password fields for proxy, so I believe this is the problem.
I want to propose my own build/tactic that I used during fight with Tequatl. It is simple and will give you constant high damage by evading most of the dragon attacks.
Main point is that you must stand out of waves and fear range. So we need Longbow with 1500 range (taken in traits). In this distance the only thing you need to worry is poison areas, but they can be easily evaded as you are standing not in the crowd and you will have only a few of them during fight.
Another thing is that in this safe place you can have spirits stand near you most of the time.
Also I found not much profit from pets attacks, as they die to fast. So I just use Jungle Stalker to give me Might in combination with Bountiful Hunter trait.
So here is my build based on Longbow and Spirits: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQFATjEVR2VVmVg2Bili90HOD+zIPjShKA
Some explanations:
Steady Focus – most of the time you don’t need to evade anything, so you will have +10% damage with this trait
Eagle Eye – for 1500 longbow range
Primal Reflexes – there is no other useful traits in Adept for this branch, but this one at least will sometime affect Steady Focus
Quick Draw – used for faster cooldown of Rapid Fire (longbow skill 2)
Vigorous Spirits – higher chance for profit from spirits
Strength of Spirit – increases Power characteristic, as it is most usefull one for this encounter
Hunter’s Tactics – constant +10% damage as we always stands from the side of dragon
Bountiful Hunter – most usefull trait for last 5 points we have. By using pet with Might boun and using Healing Spring all the time, we will have +5% damage most of the time.
Quickening Zephyr – to increase damage from Long Range Shot, which is you main skill
Frost Spirit – 70% change to get +10% damage with a hit
Sun Spirit – 70% change to make dragon burn with a hit (the only condition that doesn’t get overriden all the time)
Spirit of Nature – there is no very usefull elite skills for ranger himself, but with this one you can help other player when lot of them was downed by some attack
During fight you must use mostly skill 1. Skill 2 with all other utilities (except elite) must be used as often as possible. Keep an eye on a poison areas that can appear under you and bouns that you should try to have all the time.
You should remember that World Bosses immune to critical hits and also conditions get overridden constantly. So use PTV (Power Toughness Vitality) gear for this purpose.
Mostly that’s all. Hope this will be helpfull for someone)

2 hands up for this idea!
Just wanna add some my ideas on this.
At this moment lot’s of people doesn’t collect skins because it’s just a number of useless stuff in bank, as you can’t change them depending on your mood, on character that you play at this moment and it’s very complicated system to re-dress yourself.
Also there is a lot of different ways for Anet to earn money on this system. First of all, sell more transmutation stones, if system will use them. Also it can have some gold fee, and it will be additional way to reduce in-game inflation. Another thing is selling additional space for favorite skins, if it will be like additional limited bank space with special mechanic for transmutaion. And of cause people will buy more skin sets from gem store, cause they will be able to collect them.
So it looks like good thing for both sides and I hope Anet will make it one of the top priority innovations for game)
Thanks, man. Forum search works very strange, it didn’t show me that topic when I search with “skin” and “wardrobe” keywords..
Will transit my ideas to that one, so everything will be in one place)
I can tell you why this won’t happen. Money.
Being able to apply multiple skins to one weapon reduces the need for some players to purchase gems from the store. People will be less likely inclined to purchase the transmutations crystals, or gems to convert into gold to rebuy the weapon on tp to place the new skin on. And with all this free bank room there goes people purchasing the bank extension slot or inventory slot. This will reduce the amount of money guild wars makes. So I don’t think this will be happening any time soon unless they can figure out a way to make money off it. Like a infinite skin chooser crystal
I don’t think Anet using such kind of logic. If so, they shouldn’t add such thing as wallet, cause it’s also greatly increase? free space in bank.
Also, as I wrote previously, with appropriate system Anet can get even more money from skins. For example using skins from wardrobe can also require transmutation stones or some gold, wardrobe can be expandable by gems and more people start buying skin sets from gem store, cause they can save all of the new and old stuff.
Another suggestion on wadrobe. For this purposes can be used some limited acount shared space for favorite skins, like only 5 places for helms, 5 for shoulders and so on. It will decrease storage data for characters and also additional space can be selled by gems, so Anet will also have a benefit from this system)
If you want to nerf new characters tickets – remove mail! Simple! But now I have nearly 100 useless tickets on my alts, and still need to buy them for my main, where your logic, Anet? First think, than do is not your way to fix problems?
+1 for some kind of wardrobe for skins
I want to be able to collect some rare skins and to apply them on any of my armor. Cause at this moment it’s just a number of useless stuff in bank for me..
I even agree to pay for transmutation stones for using this skin more than once. Just let me keep it all in one place and use it as many times as I want.
It’s been like that since launch and this goes for just about every achievement in wvw. There’s only one person with the max number of wvw kills right now.
Even if so, 1 year to get the max kills achievement and 14 years to get the yaks achievement is not the same)
I discovered that for the final Tier 5 of the Yakslapper achievement (WvW) needs to be killed 1 000 000 caravans.
After making some simple counting, I am sure this is some bug.
Here is my countings:
In my experience, you can kill near 2 caravans every 5 minutes. So it makes near 25 caravans in an hour. So you need 40 000 hours to complete this achievent.
Is it a lot or not?
Let’s imagine that you spend all you free time in GW2 and all you do in it is killing caravans on WvW. So you have 8 hours in a day to kill yaks. It will take 5000 days to have this achievement.
To get this achievement, you need to spend 14 years of your active life on killing caravans.
Even if it’s 100 000 kills, it takes your 1,5 year doing nothing on you free time than just killing yaks. Everyday.
I never said I enjoy killing DUMB PvE players. I said I’ll enjoy killing PvE players until the day I can get the rewards through PvP besides normally if you show no sign of fighting back I’ll leave you be.
PvE’rs can just keep quiet n endure the fact that I’ll enjoy killing every single one of you as you struggle in Obsidian Sanctum.
“Every single” includes dumb, that’s what I see.
Anyway, I saw such a noble PVP guys (always a group of them, never saw single player that attacs someone). They just kill you 10 times while you try run and hide from them and than just leave you, cause more funny targets appear near.
But as you go further you met new group of noble PVP guys, and it goes round and round.
So let’s be honest – it’s excuses.
Soo… Here I am looking through this thread about PvE kittens (deliberate) being scared of the PvP zone… N than complain that one of their wonderful achievements for the event is in there. So please tell me when will I be able to get the meta reward stuff without doing the mind boggling dumb PvE content? I wanted the Sclerite backpack for PvP I ended up being forced into killing brain dead things in PvE.
I wanted the Dragon Helmet for sPvP n I was once again forced into PvE. Wanted the Holographic Wings for sPvP had to do PvE.
So here’s my counter arguement why are PvP players forced into PvE when personally I hate it with a passion, there’s no joy or fun in fighting n killing things without a brain. Where’s the challenge in that? Tactics you say? Well shame it’s the same tactics over n over n over again afterwards mobs never change they’re not humans.
So tell me when can I expect to have a way to complete the meta achievements through PvP if all I want is the skin of it? Until the day I do you PvE’rs can just keep quiet n endure the fact that I’ll enjoy killing every single one of you as you struggle in Obsidian Sanctum. ^^
New life Goal: Kill PvE’rs in Obsidian Sanctum enough so they Rage Quit.
I don’t get it. First you say about challenges of killing smart opponent and say that there is no fun in killing dumb mobs. But than you say that you enjoy killing dumb players, that never played PVP, don’t know any tactics and mostly even more easy to kill than mobs.
So I see two options:
1) You’re lying about boring PVE content, you just can’t do it, that’s why you prefer to kill defenseless players.
2) You just looking for excuses for enjoying of ruining game for same defenseless players.
I’m just trying to imagine what they were talking about before releasing new event:
“Ha-ha, did you saw all those weaning people that was killed dozen times on WvW when they were trying to get chest? That was sooo funny! Let’s do it again!”
World vs. Kite
Find the large kite hidden in Obsidian Sanctum (World vs World). Unlike last time, the kite is not at the very end of the puzzle but rather about 90% of the way in (it is on top of the large dome with caged animals below). You will need to complete majority of the Obsidian Sanctum jumping puzzle nonetheless.
So here we go again.. same annoying achievement with the new event? Really?

You have recieved 1 Infraction Point.
Can someone explain, this infraction point was because of naming guild and server that was farming other people or because of following statement?
More fun for this evening from Anet:
When I was finally at the end of the puzzle, cause most of the farmers go to sleep, they kick me to Lion Arc because of the new build. Half an hour ago there was a message that build will be in hour or two. So I think developers from Anet just make laugh at us. I even can imagine that they were the one that farms me through this puzzle, cause this kick is a good sequel for such “fun”.
At this moment GW2 have very annoying way for transmutation. You cannot collect some rare skins (like from events), but only carry one and destroy another.
Simple example, on each new event developers adding new skin for a back item. Just imagine that one day I want to carry one skin, and next day another one – same way as I can use dye. But instead of just changing skin I should destroy previous one, and there is no way to save it.
When I was playing WoW and they introduce transmutation, there was some complains that you should keep all items in bank. GW2 doesn’t give even such a choice.. That leads me to just wearing one skin forever and that is annoying..
So I just hope (and suggest) that ArenaNet will add some kind of wardrobe for rare skins that you can use with the same transmutation stones (for gems) and everyone will win. I will be happy by changing skins more frequently, ArenaNet will be happy by earning my money that I spend on gems for this.
2 questions. One, what credit card did you use to buy the game? I don’t mean was it Visa or MasterCard. I mean whose name was it under. If it wasn’t in your name then the owner of the card may have reversed charges. Two, where did you get the game from? From the Guild Wars 2 online site or did you buy it from some dealer? There have been cases where people bought the game from somewhere other than the ANet site and the people they bought it from, reversed the charge they originally had to ANet. In effect getting double the money from one sale. This also will cause an account to be terminated.
It’s my name on the card and I bought game from Guild Wars 2 online site.
Account was not terminated and charges was reversed because of their auto-ban system. They wrote to me that there is no cause for this account to be blocked, but charges was already voided because of mistaken temporary block.
This is what they wrote to me:
“This game account was temporarily blocked by our billing system due to possible unauthorized credit card activity. I have reviewed this Guild Wars 2 game account and have determined that there is no cause for this account to be blocked for this reason. As a result of this temporary block, the recent transaction was voided and was not billed to the credit card on file.”
1) They didn’t send any email to me that my account was blocked because of possible unauthorized credit card activity.
2) They first void (not froze) transactions and only then trying to analyze if it was system mistake or real threat.
3) They didn’t propose any compensation for me, like 3-days trial, untill “business days” will come up. And leave me a choice to do not play the game this weekend or buy a new one without any assurance that my money will be definetly back at my card.
After all this “adventures” I’m not sure if I want to pay my money again for “this” or recommend “this” to my friends..
I have to say, I cannot take much more of this support system… No phone number, no live chat reps, this is ridiculous.
That’s what I’m also trying to say. Such imperfect auto-ban system is ridiculous, when there is no appropriate support for customers.
They answered me a minute ago that my account was without reason blocked because of possible unauthorized credit card activity. But because of this stupid auto-ban, they also voided last transactions and disable my serial key! Now I don’t have my 60$ (just hope that they’ll return correctly my money “in next few business days”) and still can’t play next 3 days!
So maybe I must buy another game? Such a perfect way to earn money!
Also they don’t have any quick form for answer to them, just support@guildwars2.com mail, which probably spammed. Is this a customer care they propose?
Oh, thanks a lot for such professional conclusion ! But I’m playing GW2 few hours a week.
The reason I’m worried is that I make a gift for a girlfriend and it’s broken now without a reason. Another reason to worry is that now is Friday evening and as I understand from Support letter, they don’t work on weekend.
So it seems that ArenaNet just destroyed my gift for 4 days including weekend, when I’m actually wanted to play with my girlfriend.
This is what making me angry – attitude to the customer.
Yeah, the reason account issue is that they believe your account is compromised. This can be they suspect you of sharing your account with others, or because they believe your account has been compromised by hackers.
Also keep in midn that yesterday gw2 has been out of service for several hours. So you ticket is prolly in between the big pile of tickets cause of that. Now you got a response your ticket is out of that pile and should be handled quicker.
What is the reason to suspend account completely if it was compromised? Just send a request to change password and block it until I will do this steps. It is common behaviour for thousands of companies!
But no, block it, send no e-mail, make me write a ticket and wait for few days to fix. Very reasonable behaviour!
I login to account settings and didn’t find any suspicios connections to it.
Unrespectfull is to ban account without any reason and then not able to fix their own mistake for a whole day.
For example for years of using Blizzard products I never saw such problems without a reason. ArenaNet is not a newcommer, so I thought they can do it in the same way.
Also I’m working in IT industry and if we saw something like this, it is the “alarm” for everyone that something is going wrong and must be changed.
a: Read the login error message. Besides the fact that you are suspended it also gives the reason. e.g. Name violation, bad language, botting, gold selling, etc.
There is no actual reason in the error message. It says just:
“Your Guild Wars 2 account has been suspended for an account issue.”
So it’s absolutely unclear what was the issue and why I can’t play in the game for that I pay not a small amount of money..
Also it’s unclear why support is so slow with such an urgent issue? I send a request yesterday night and for now get such a “promising” answer:
“We are in the process of investigating this issue for you and you should receive an update as soon as we have more information to provide. We may need more time if you contacted us on a weekend or holiday, but someone will respond to this support ticket as soon as possible.”
This is not the behavoiur I expect from respectfull company..
You are not the only one. After this troubles with login server, account of my girlfriend also had been suspended. I bought it to her just 2 days ago.. so annoying behaviour..
