Guild Wars 2

The title says it all – please make the fractals level progress accound based, instead of character based.

What’s the point of the current system anyway? Can someone perhaps explain?
I find it ironic.. everything that drops is account bound, the relics are account bound, pristine relics are account bound. That’s why there’s a lot of alts with fractals gear and they never stepped inside. I don’t object this, quite the opposite, but since we can already take all the spoils from fractals and use them on another char, why not let that other character keep the max reward level?

I got 5 level 80 chars with full gear, and I’m certainly not an exception. Sometimes I just don’t feel like playing a warrior, so I go to mesmer.. but no wait, I Can’t, else no reward for me fighting through level 40 fractals. This kinda isn’t in the spirit of anet gaming philosophy.. I think

- your current group isn’t doing well? Switch classes without losing the reward level
- this basicly motivated players to get ascended gear and AR for alts aswell
- since a lot already DO have it, this will actually make it worth the investment
- some low geared exploiting won’t happen because of the agony. The AR alone will make sure that properly geared ppl go to proper reward level

I just don’t see the downside of this idea .. why not implement it ?

Me too.
Some official statement would be nice

OK just for the record.. I’m on windowed FS now and I was just on the character select screen, pressed LOG OUT button on the bottom left, and the client crashed.

I don’t alt+tab THAT much and I do play in windowed fullscreen.. at least I THOUGHT I was until I just checked it, dunno how that got reset. TY for reminding me, I changed it now, hopefully this will help me out

Merry xmas!

Lately, maybe since Wintersday started or one of the recent patches, I started getting client crashes at least twice per day.. and it happens only on ALT TAB. Just now it happened when I pressed “exit to desktop”.
Before that .. I randomly had an issue .. it would happen ONLY when I exit the game: client wouldn’t end but instead it would appear minimzed with the exception of the window title " GW2.exe" on top of my screen… I couldn’t use my mouse in windows because it would appear as ingame (recognizable gw2 cursor) so I would even be unable to END TAKS via task manager, so I had to reboot the machine, every time. So that was the issue last 2 months, and it suddenly grew into this crashing I described above.

Please remove the overflow message every time you enter a overflow server/map.

Why?
It serves no purpose, the information is RIGHT THERE on the radar.
It causes problems when players start tying the the message pops out.

Problems:
- unable to move existing “windows” like chat window. I had to be on the bottom, or on the top of th eleft edge. Dragging on top makes party window go down. Interesting chain reaction which could be removed.
- unable to resize freely, except minimap (kudos)
- unable to HIDE certain items, like personal story progress, or even event/task messages. Maybe a player doesn’t care about those if he’s playing a 6th alt character

Requested features:
- enable different key binds for “USE”, “LOOT”, “ACTIVATE” and so on. It doesn’t ALL have to be one key (ie. accidental turret pickup while trying to loot on the fly)
- enable free resize
- enable hide individual windows
- unchain windows like party and chat
- could use more advanced chat features
- add multiple monitor support. I know this is a BIG one, but it would be amazing! Here’s a topic on the matter, real good ideas

I’m afraid that not just warrior elite’s straight out SUCK.. but ALL elites in the game are not even nearly worth being called ELITE skills. There ARE exceptions to the rule ofc, but there’s a reason we call those exceptions.
It may be that we’re just expecting much more because they were indeed ELITE in GW1 so it’s our own habbit messing with our heads. Or perhaps ANET simply designed them poorly.

Either way.. I think all elites are a joke.. total useless skills.. even the transformation ones are a joke – damage done is barely if not at all bigger than normal form skills, duration is a joke compared to CD.. I simply have no reason whatsoever to use that skill ever… well ok it’s AMSUING to see myself as a wolf, or juggernaut, or a lich.. sometimes

I’m just glad that my “main” is a warrior, and that I have signet of rage there which is actually usefull.. useful for combat and utility.. and deserves being called elite when U compare it to other utility skills.

We are still growing, slowly but surely. 21 members atm, dungeon runs, small WvW groups are forming and so on..if u wanna join, U know what to do.

Tsunami Slash – spear skill #5

In about 20% of attacks, the character starts spinning and moves forward towards target, but doesn’t STOP at the target and continue to spin, instead the caracter just continues spinning forward untill the skill channeling is complete. More often than not, directly in the middle of another 5 mobs resulting in a quick death.
Interesting thing is, I never had this problem in BW events.

Problem occurs on all ranges including VERY CLOSE range, dead on target.

I have a very simple question – does GW2 officialy support Windows 8?

I understand it hasn’t been released yet but I plan to install their RTM version these days + official release is in a week.
However I don’t want to cause myself additional GW2 issues by using something like this, so I’d love some confirmation, official if at all possible, that GW2 in fact works on Win8 just as good as 7.

I have to agree, waypoint travel cost should be lowered. If you cut if by 50% it’s still a noticable amount to 90% of playerbase, yet it’s not so much it would prevent them from playing with their friends.

Simply said, normal gameplay, which ANET is promoting, just doesn’t cover the travel cost.

I think it’s amazing .. this type of behvaiour. Lemme describe it
“Player, let’s call him John, find’s the easiest and fastest possible way to “skip” playing the content to get to his “personal goal”, let’s say it’s full exotics gear, as soon as possible. So John starts doing the routine, literally exploiting game mechanics, totally oblivious of the fact that he is in fact exploiting, and has no idea what that word even means. He arguments his case with stuff like “if it’s in the game, ANET put it there, then it’s not an exploit”, once again, totally ignorant.
So naturally, one day Devs “fix” the problem and prevent the minority of losers like that from ruining the economy slowly and gaming experience for everyone else and here comes John crying like a little baby, straight to the forums, yelling “all fun is ruined”. Again, totally ignorant of the pure definition of the word fun, so weakminded that he doesn’t even know what his own taste interprets as fun, because the thing he’s actually been doing the whole time.. is curing his inferiority complex by “being top geared, faster than most”."

Sad to say, I’ve seen this over years in literally all MMO games I played, and I played many.
So to everyone else who bought GW2 to have fun and enojy themselves.. just ignore this kind of “players”. And remember, your kind of people doesn’t have a need to go scream on the forum, they are enjoying the game. This is why forums always appear “filled with angry players”.

lol, mega fail dude.. but hey, you just painted a picture as to why it was nerfed. because of ppl like you
It was a well deserved nerf.. I’d personally put a CD on a dungeon but hey, the result is same.

Well for starters, we have no set rules for that simply because the game is new, ppl are still leveling, there’s maybe 10 of us level 80 and we are just starting to do dungeon runs. So it will be done however we all together want it to be done. For start, I think it’s wise to mix classes if possible, cause I doubt 3 warriors and 2 thieves would have a causal run. Once everyone knows their way around a dungeon, we can make farm runs with specific build aimed for faster clearing, but this all comes naturally.

I think once the guild has enough members, you will be more than able to choose if you want to start a fast farm run or a slower “let’s kill them all” kind of run.
ATM we’re only 16 and we can go further into details once we double that.

If you’re still interested to join, add me to your friends list and whisper when I’m online (about 7h from now)..or I can just contact you when I’m there.

Home World: Gandara
Guild Name: Diesel Power [DP]
Guild Website: http://sol.abyssportal.com
In-Game Contact: Seventh Seal, Oratia
Focus: PvX
Quick Notes: Semi-hardcore, PvX, Age 22+, friendly and social

Diesel Power [DP]

Who are we?
Diesel Power is a guild based in EU, founded by a couple friends who go way back to heavy MMO gaming in other popular titles.
Since the game just got release, our focus lies everywhere. Exploring is the answer! As soon as we fill up, we plan to organize both PvE and PvP activities. WvWvW is very tempting, as are dungeons. For more dedicated members, sPvP isn’t a stranger either.

What do we want?
The current core consists of a few experienced players, we consider ourselves HC or semi-HC sort but are now gazing out of the college life and we’ve no more time for 18h/day gaming. So we are looking for people with similar game style and preferences.
With that in mind, we have the following requirements:

• age 18+
• english is mandatory and only language allowed in gchat
• mature, competent, reliable person

What do we offer?
First of all, the idea is to create a friendly atmosphere where guild members answer each others questions and help out when it’s needed. We share our knowledge and abilities, we promote group play and helping each other where and when possible. Currently counting 16 members and growing. We have full leveled Tailoring, Jewelcrafting, Weaponsmith, Artificer professions within the guild, and others on the way. Free crafting for guild members is guaranteed.
We got guild stash, emblem, guild armorer, weaponsmith and are now sockpiling 1 time buffs for PvP, WvW and PvE. We have a website (forum, gallery, event calendar…) – http://sol.abyssportal.com , and a ventrilo server. At this point only forum membership is needed, we will focus on ventrilo activity once we grow and start doing more events in larger groups. Speaking of which, guild based sPvP for fun, tournaments for members who like to PvP on a more serious level, and dungeon groups ofc.
So if you’ve had enough of being just a number, join us, we try to be friends.

So you want to join?
Just sign up on our forum at http://sol.abyssportal.com
Applications are reviewed and your answer is delivered within hours and if you are anxious to join, just whisper me ingame directly “Seventh Seal”.

I think the surroundings have a huge impact on this. It just doesn’t look the same if you’re in a cave or on a sunny hilltop.
I used Ebon a lot, and in certain situations it looks BLUE, as if the watter surrounding me is causing a huge reflect.

MAP – Malchor’s Leap
Location – South of Garden of Ilya, between the Valley of Lyss and Karst Plains

There simply IS NO NPC that starts the skill challenge. Up on that wall kind of thingy.

It’s been like that for days now, he only appears soon after an update is launched, becasuse it seems to me that all “events” restart when that happens so it works on him aswell. My friend finished it yesterday morning (EU) after the update, but within an hour till I got there he was gone. And still gone, I checked many times since.
