Guild Wars 2

There is a few links here that used to work earlier. https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2yr2zv/chinese_client_will_update_as_usual_tomorrow/?sort=confidence

I guess the Chinese get it tomorrow. Maybe we will too. https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2yr2zv/chinese_client_will_update_as_usual_tomorrow/?sort=confidence

Hey there,

We know that some of you are anticipating a new build for Guild Wars 2 on March 10th. We wanted to give you a heads up that the game update is coming, but it will not be going out on March 10th. At the present time, contents of the build is undergoing additional QA Testing. If we get more information about an anticipated timeframe for the build’s release we’ll try to provide that info in advance. But of course as always, we will update in the forums with detailed update notes when the build goes live.

Thanks for your patience.

Heya,

Is there any sort of time frame for when? Like, this week, next week, next month?

Thx Gaile =D

As an IT professional, I always get a kick out of this question.
The answer is always “It’ll be ready when it is ready”.
It’s not baking where you put it in the over for exactly 30 minutes and it comes out golden :P

I am an IT professional as well and asking for a precise exact time is not really what I was asking about, which is why I used larger units of measurement. Notice the usage of the words ‘time-frame’, ‘week’, and ‘month’, not day, hour, minute or second.

The question still stands.

I understand the desire to know…
But does it REALLY matter? I mean besides wanting to know the date so a select few can plan ahead and take off from work? * looks at SyncOnari *
We know its coming soon — isn’t that enough? (This is not just directed at you but everyone that is asking or downright demanding more information on this.)

It actually doesn’t matter that much. It was just an innocent question due to idle curiosity. What obviously does matter, is that you that I think that I think doesn’t matter, so let it be that…

I am as well as many others in my map instances.

So it looks like when I use my salvage kit, items that are salvageable in my inventory turn a new color indicating that they are salvageable. That works but after I salvage the first item the rest turn back to their normal color even though I am still in salvage mode.

1.) If I scroll to the bottom of the list of things in my inventory to sell, after I list something, the pane on the right scrolls up halfway through the list and then I have to re-scroll down again manually. It would be nice if it didn’t scroll at all by itself after I list something.

2.) If I am have selected an item that I want sell and choose to salvage it instead the window still stays open and lets me click sell anyways which then give me an error message. I would be nice if it new I listed it and that it isn’t in my inventory anymore so to close the items listing window.

3.) When listing something the up and down arrows by the numbers to change the price are so small that they are difficult to even click on to change the price.

Seems like now whenever I use a skill there is a little lag until the skill activates. Also, whenever I use Whirlwind attack it hesitates and then once it does go off sometimes I don’t even see myself perform the attack I just end up where I would be if it did the attack without the animation or it stops a stutters halfway through the attack. So the basic attack skills that are crucial don’t work right.

So this 20th we are getting a microwaved leftover moldy potato with a dash of salt to spruce it up to try to make it more palatable (Festival of the Four Winds)… =/

So far it’s a nightmare for guilds to be put in the same instance.

Being with Guild mates should be the biggest priority in a game called Guild Wars 2 for grouping players in the same instance.

Please implement a way for players to move between instances easier! Like the way you could switch between Districts in Guild Wars 1 would be perfect.

Please ?!?!?!

GlowSticks.9734:

Yeah there’s a ton of ugly legendary weapons. What were they thinking with half of them.

No kidding! A unicorn shortbow that shoots rainbows unicorn horse heads. How lame…. Where the hell did they get that one from.

I don’t like it either. Anet please rethink this one and come to a better more compromising solution.

A solution that does not punish achievement. (pun intended)

Is this cap for PvP only or does it include PvE AP’s?

What AP changes? Can you describe what the changes are and where I can read up on them?

I find that frequently when trying to close a UI window in game (TP, inventory, hero-panel, etc.) I click the ‘X’ box in the upper right but it is so small that it doesn’t always close the window. I have to concentrate on making sure the mouse does not move outside the x-box before letting up on the mouse button.

My Suggestion
There is a lot of extra room around the button in the top of the UI window. Please consider enlarging the button to make it easier to click.

Qaelyn.7612:

make it easier for parties to be in the same overflow where there’s actually enough people to win

Josh Foreman.8250:

I know there are people working on various solutions to this problem.

^ I am glad to hear this. Of all the things that I hear people having issues with and I think is the biggest problem, is the Overflow issues and being able to coordinate and be present in the same overflow with the other community members that do want to collaborate constructively to achieve victory. The districts from GW1 and/or being able to choose from different overflows does come to mind as a solution or maybe part of a solution.

For the most part, I really would like to thank the developer Josh Foreman for being present in this discussion. To me, it shows that they really do care about the opinions and ideas of their customers/players.

Elrey.5472:

isn’t just lag?

Nope, totally different.

CMstorm.8679:

server crash/lag most likely, and you’re not the only who missed the chest. You can always get the next one…

I’ve seen this too and it’s not server-lag. I’ve had it happen when I’m running around by myself without any other people with me. They don’t start working again until I die and way-point or relog. It’s a pretty common problem these days.

Recently I have noticed that weapon skills stop working randomly. This has happened on 2 different PC’s I have played the game on. I found that restarting the game, going to the character selection screen and back in, or dying fixes it. When they aren’t working and I click a skill it begins it’s animation but then stops when I stop pressing it and then my character never does the skill. I have heard from other players that this is a common problem.

Nuka Cola.8520:

Its a pathetic joke but that’s the norm when it comes to anet and their bs reward system in anything pve/pvp involved. This current team does not compute what a rewarding dungeon run is or the kind of loot should be in new teq’s chest. For now i have only killed teq twice and from killing him twice i got three rares (two of which are guaranteed dailies) and one from chest rofl. Teq reward+bday present are the biggest jokes of 2013 in gw2, will be hard to forget.

Ya getting the same account bound mini on every character you have at the one year mark is re*arded not to mention redundant. Seems like they forgot about a lot of the good stuff from GW1. Ex. – where you would get a random mini depending upon which of your birthdays it was.

I gave up too, but not by choice, the overflow makes the choice for you.

Maybe a solution would be to make it an instance that becomes available whenever Taco would spawn and then maybe use the LFG tool to group up for it before hand so only people that care about doing will be there.

I’m sure another problem is that there are people in other parts of Sparkfly questing and leveling that aren’t even interested with Taco.

Agreed. They need to fix the overflow lameness.

GW1 – Being able to choose districts. BRILLIANT!!!!

GW2 – Forget about the good parts of GW1 (ex. LFG until recently)

From what I’ve seen so far, the possibility of the event succeeding all depends on the competency of the people manning the turrets. So even if I am trying my hardest to do everything right, if those on the turrets either don’t know what they are doing or even refuse to (like so many trolls do), the whole event fails.

I sincerely hope not but if that is correct then the Tequatl event is soon to be a ghost town.

The thing that I hate the worst is when I am trying to run through enemies with my pet stowed and I get hit my pet pops out and starts fighting thus putting me into combat mode and slowing my movement down. Then it proceeds to fight until I’m far enough away for it realize that it should disengage combat and follow me. The damage is done though and I’m already moving slower and I have to then micro manage the darn thing. I also wish that my weapon stayed stowed until I actually use an offensive skill instead of automatically getting pulled out when attacked.

To me the pet acts like an anchor at the most inconvenient of times.

I vote for a way to permanently stow the pet until I want it to come out and/or for it to be smart enough to know when I am actually fighting and then follow my lead without hesitation.

8/7 Update: This is after the new build at around 4:45PM PST.

Bug still exists.

I have heard from other rangers that use bows that they are experiencing the same thing.
Just fought the Karka Queen and it’s like I’m not even shooting anything with a longbow or shortbow.

I feel like I am shooting blanks but still doing damage to something.

Has anyone else noticed since the update yesterday that the little white arrow streaking from the bow to its target animation is different/less. When running around fighting alone in PvE it is fine, but in bigger battles it is almost completely gone and the animation starts farther away from the bow. It’s frustrating because other players ranged attacks are still perfectly visible. (Ex. the pink lighting bolt from Mesmers swords) It looks like I’m not even shooting anything. I even have the new “Effect LOD” checkbox unchecked. Feels like I’m shooting blanks.

I can barely see the white streak animation from bows anymore after the 8/6 update. I even have the new setting “Effect LOD” unchecked. It seems like the white streak from the arrow animation starts to appear farther and father away from the bow depending upon the scale of the battle (# of Players/NPC’s). Example, when fighting by myself in PvE it looks normal, but when fighting world bosses the animation/effect is pretty much gone. Other character classes attack effects can still be seen perfectly though.

I added screen-shots for reference.

Add a questing section of the GUI more like that of GW1 so I don’t have to use Dulfy and other websites just to figure out how to do anything in the game. Also maybe add the green quest marker to the map so at least I know where to go to learn more how to do things. Maybe also make it easier to open the achievements panel like adding an icon in the upper left where all the other stuff is.

Guild Wars 1 had this dialed in which made game play so fluid and enjoyable.

Huzzah! All the money I spent on items for my ranger I want back too.

I tested the range of the shortbow versus the longbow an now it looks pathetically comical. My character could throw something that far! Oh wait, he can, an AXE!!! The idea of a bow, short or long, is to propel a projectile father using the potential energy of the flexed stick to increase its range, especially beyond the range the arm can throw. Decreasing the range by 300 is too much. Either the geniuses at Anet should have decrease it less or increased the longbow’s default range without having to trait for it.

Range breakdown should be: Longbow > Shortbow > Axe

I liked playing my Ranger sooo much I spent real money on gems to buy him the unlimited use mining pick and harvesting sickle. After this horrible nerfing of the ranger class I don’t want to play him anymore. Either Anet should make them account bound so I can use them to with another character who’s class hasn’t been ruined (yet) or give me a COMPLETE REFUND for the gems I bought to buy them. I’ll gladly hand over the pick and sickle.

Guesting is being abused and I cant even get into dynamic events in my home world server because “Guests” are over-populating the server and I get pushed into the overflow.

To add insult to injury I don’t know I wasted my silvers until I get there and find myself in overflow.

Please fix Anet.

P.S. – Could you bring back a good grouping system like GW1 so we don’t have to use a third-party website for this. (Genius idea eh)

I would like to suggest that getting in a group be easier. The “Looking for a Group” tab in the Contacts pane obviously doesn’t work. As is stands now, other than that, the only way to get in a group is to read the “Map” or “All” chat and until you see someone else advertise for a group that you would like to join, or advertise for yourself. But this usually ends up in getting the – “Your message was suppresses due to excessive messaging” thing before you can actually get into a group.

My Suggestion: Make grouping up more like Guild Wars 1 where you could post your willingness to create or join a party or see others that need more members for their party in another window pane.

Reason 1: Grouping up is the only way to do some things in PVE (Fractals/Dungeons) and seeing as there are no Heroes or Henchmen (which forces you to use party’s) much of the time it is impossible to find a party and is very frustrating.

Reason 2: As proof of this players are having to use third-party websites for Groups/partys. (ex. )

My friends account shows a number on the Contacts Icon in the upper left of the screen when a friend of his is online. Mine game does not. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change to get this functionality? Please help!

The invisible bag thing – that’s a good idea. I still think that maybe they could fix the functionality of the button to not include mini’s though. It’s much better to have an actual fix then a work-around imo.

I just got my account reinstated. WooHoo!!!!

Thanks Lloyd and Gaile! Maybe one of these days we can all have some fun chasing you around Lions Arch again! (Just hope it’s not another “Farewell” event.) =)

Good luck to all of you real players out there! See you in-game and Good Hunting!

It doesn’t seem like they are restoring accounts based on the order of when the tickets were submitted, because I have noticed that others that have posted after me for the same reason as me have been restored. But I do think they are trying to get to all of the tickets with a three day turn-around which hopefully bodes well for me because I will hit the 72 hr mark at about 2-3:00pm PST today at which time I will post in the other 72hr thread. Good luck to you all real players hope to see you in game soon!

I don’t know what order the tickets are being done in but yesterday someone got their account back after 12hours of being banned. I had to wait 3 days and so far I have seen the average amount of time is 2-4 days, for the “botting” issue anyway.

It also depends how you represent your ticket. For example my ticket had way to much panic in it because that was my first impression.

I wasn’t calm, just complete stressful information. I updated my info in a more calmer matter and it worked..

I updated my ticket later on also to include more information and anything I thought they could use to get it resolved. Hopefully it helps and I get a response soon.

Long gone are the days where I could go home after a long days work, crack a beer, and unwind with some good ole’ Guild Wars 2. Now, ‘when’ I do get my account back (thinking positively of course), I will always be in fear of being banned for no reason, for something as small as not seeing a PM to ensure that I am not a Bot. Really sucks… I even spent real money on Gems. I would think that would show my humanity… =[

I had the rubberbanding issue as well right before black screen —> had to hit “X” to close the game and then logged back in to find I was banned.

Banned about 2pm PST 11/10/12 Sanctum of Rall shortly after doing Harathi Group Event in N-E Hinterlands 45:6:3:2114 (botting)

This is how it happened to me:

My girlfriend and I had been playing all morning while trying to keep warm on a cold and rainy day. We were in the North East of Harathi Hinterlands and had done the Group Event a couple of times, that seems to reoccur rather frequently, we figured it was a good way to level up a bit so I could use a new Req-51 bow that she had gotten as a drop and had mailed to me. We were just running south afterwards and I decided to really quick fall down into the area where there is a splendid chest really quick. After getting it I ran up and out started to get some rubber-banding and then a black screen and I had to hit the “X” to close the game then when I came back it said my account has been permanently banned due to botting, etc…

The only things I can think that could be flagged as a false positive for botting is maybe that 2 game clients were running from the same residence/IP address and we were staying together because we were in a party and done the event a few times. My GF didn’t get banned, but she had done the event one less time than me.

I hope I get my account back. This concerns me though, because I would think they would have noticed that I am active in the chat, have purchased Gems with REAL money, reported botters, participated in the Halloween event, etc, etc… There are many ways for them to see that I am not and have never been a botter. They could even look to see that I have a GW1 account(with 5 yrs worth of gameplay and almost maxed-out HoM rewards) linked to my GW2. The thing that really sucks is now I am going to be worried about doing anything I do in the game being seen as botting.

Farming is part of games like this and they even encourage it with all of the stats that are tracked in the “H” menu to earn Arenanet points(daily kills, event participation). Now I feel that if I collect too many of one item or am in one area for to long I will be risking another ban – thus make this game waaaay less laid-back and fun.

Hopefully after they figure out that I am not a cheater/botter they will put my account on a list of accounts that should not be suspect of botting so I don’t have to worry about it ever again.
