Guild Wars 2

Hate the reduced and limited daily selection and not to wild about the unidentified dye laurel price shooting up but most of the patch is good. Kinda 5 steps forward, 2 steps back so at least we are moving ahead.

My guild moved to TC early after release and it’s been my home ever since. I can’t speak of other servers but I have been extremely happy on TC. I will offer you this one warning about TC though…..there….are….ROLEPLAYERS!!! If they creep you out as much as they do me, then you should run, RUN!!

If not, then heck ya, come on over. Can even message me in game and I can suggest a few WvW guilds that sound like they would be a perfect fit for you.

If there are tradeable items such as materials that you want to take with you, you could mail them to a friend that you trust on the server that you are going to transfer to.

Currently no. I have not seen any mention of that feature being implemented in the future but I will leave a dev to speak about that if they chose to do so. If it does happen, it would be a gem shop item.

Regardless of how much it would end up costing, I am sure they would sell as you could have the entire guild contribute to the cost.

Oh, I thought you could just buy all of the mats required. Thanks for clearing that up. I had a chest drop once, contains one piece of Ascended gear but with the “wrong” stats… what do I do with that? Can’t trade it it seems.

If you have not taken the item, the chest is account bound & transferable between your characters. Find a character that the stats will work on and move it to that toon. If it’s a weapon and you don’t care for the stats on it for any of your toons, pick a toon that needs a underwater weapon upgrade.

When I saw the title of this thread, I expected the first line of the message to be “I Found The Most Amazing Bug EVER!!”

In Tune

• This achievement is also a tricky one, I would recommend you disable your auto attack so that you are precisely controlling when you hit the holograms. Necros, Rangers, Mesmers; watch your minions, pets, clones, and phantasms, their damage counts against you if you are not attuned. Engineers, your turrets fall under that category as well. For all professions, I would recommend crafting your build based solely on damage your character does and not use any summons or sources of outside damage. Again, attention is critical, always be aware of your current attunement and the attunement of the hologram you are fighting.

This is one of the reasons rangers have been asking for the ability to run without or actually stow a pet instead of just hiding it waiting for it to pop out at the first sneeze.

As a necro, do my conditions count against me if they are still going when my attunement wears off? As well as for other classes.

Update…10, 11 & 12 all gave chests this time.

Aberrant.6749:

Tag as fast as you can and deal enough damage to get credit and you’ll get loot. There is a limited number of people that can get loot from anything in this game (as shown with the ember farming).

To the best of my knowledge, everyone was getting rewards before they patched the update so it’s not a limit issue.

Update, 9 legendary boss kills…no loot.

Yup, since the patch update, have killed 6 knights with no loot.

Ya, have been getting them…not to that extent but haven’t complained cause it kinda looks cool.

Not sure if this is a bug or the way the skill was intended but I have noticed on several occasions while in Lions Arch that while in plague form fighting aetherblades, I would get booted from plague form & the skill timer would start counting down as if it went the full duration.

I have not had a chance yet to look and see what skill exactly is removing my plague form but would like to know if this is a bug or not…if it is, I will try to gather more information on it.

I dunno which is worse, people who afk or people who whines and gets mad at other people for not playing how they want them to.

The point is that if you are Afk, you are not playing.

And not playing is not the way you want them to be playing. But it’s also not your business, because as much as you might want to think it effects you, it doesn’t.

Really? sigh. If you are afk, you are not playing. If you are not playing for a extended period of time, you should not be in a event that has a limited number of players. This makes it harder on the people that are playing therefore effecting them.

No, no it doesn’t. The AFKers are having no more effect on the viability of your bonus reward than the bag farming zergs are.

The bag farmers are generally farming events that contribute to the citizen count.

I don’t know the exact map cap but lets say it’s 100 and 20 people of that 100 go afk for the event. That is 20%. Now lets say there are 4 events going on…10 people at each. That leaves 40 people but of those 40, you can guess that 20 of them are probably rubble searching, and that is fine..specially when they clear the roads at the same time. Now you have 20 people left…most of which would probably be doing citizens….

Those 20 afk people are equal to 20 more citizen farmers or 1/2 of the event group. The citizen group could be going twice as fast with the afk’ers & so on so there is a small example of how the afk’ers are effecting everyone. I could give you a lot more examples but I am not sure if I am being trolled or you are just tying to find a way to defend leeching.

As for the examples of how to get rid of the afk’ers…I was adding in some suggestions instead of just complaining. I said easiest because the code exists already in game and may not have to be rewritten for another zone. Whether or not it is simple to do, only the devs know.

As for the afking in general, the devs obviously did not intend for the event to award afk’ers and that is all that needs to be known for why afking for the length of the event is wrong.

There are several solutions that I can think of.

-Add in a faster afk timer that will log the afk people out or boot them to the zone they zoned in from. (Needs to be 5 min or so for the people that are just doing a fast bathroom or other break)

-Add in a personal counter so that you have to participate in so many events or rescues to get citizen rewards. Example: 1 event or 1 rescue for the first bag, 2 total events &/or 2 rescues for the 2nd bag & so on.

Those two would be the easiest to implement and fair to both style of players whether you are farming bags or helping with the rescue while those that come in and go afk the entire event will get nothing.

Though my favorite is the devs watching the afkers & getting rid of them…a lot more satisfying for those that are putting in the effort to complete the event. On that note, I am sure the devs would not just be tossing bans for people that afk for 5 minutes but for much longer. Would boot them from the event the first time & if found afking again, then ban.

Easy fix, make it to where you have to participate to get the rewards….or ban the people that are repeatedly doing it.

In general I stop to rez people. That being said, there are several reasons I will not rez somebody.

-I’m getting attacked while trying to rez you.
-You are fighting instead of healing yourself while i’m trying to rez you.
-You play poorly and I am tired of rezing you.

Also, if somebody is rezing you, you have more than enough time to type “ty” during the rez, there is no excuse.

If you are dead dead…waypoint….do not wait 5 minutes and cause other people to waist their time when you could have waypointed and run back in a quarter of that time.

Haven’t logged in today yet but I agree….Thanks Anet for the free items.

In short, yes, your gear should still be fine & if you like the game, play it.

First, sorry to necro a old post but I’m just returning to the game after a month of not playing.

I have stacks of these elemental powders, not because I used them all the time but because when I did use them, they would die in a matter of seconds and I would go through a ton of them.

Would like to add my suggestion to make them viable again as I am sure the use & purchase of them is practically non existent now. Buff them up a bit so they survive a little while in the situations that you need them. Not asking to make them invincible but it would be nice if they could take more than one hit.

There are other suggestions I would make but I see that others have already made them.

Not sure if this is what you tried but found a post from about a year ago that worked for one person.

+1 I have crashed or dc’d at the end of many teq raids, nothing is more heart breaking, would love to see something like that implemented.

Would also try using previous drivers just in case it is the latest driver causing it. I am running windows 8.1 as well and have had no issues…..though that video is hilarious.

Somebody had similar issues a while back as seen here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Code-7-11-3-191-101

On a side and unconfirmed note, the last couple days the servers have been extremely laggy….supposedly because they are under ddos attacks. Anet has only said they are looking into the issue but has not confirmed or denied that is the cause.

This has only been at peak hours though, if you are having this issue 24/7 then I would say there is another problem.

Just a guess but you may have a bad download, tried downloading it again?

You may have a bad cd or drive. If all else fails, you can download the game at the link below.

+1 I am all about checking out & attending events. Although I am not big into pvp, I am addicted to achievements and would have been all over this event to get a jump on several of the pvp achievements. I do check the forums from time to time and never did see any post about this event so those who casually check the forums may have missed it as well.

Would like to take it 1 step further and have the option for all shoulder armor to be left, right or both. Could be easily done with 3 check boxes under the shoulder slot space.

To add to Esmee’s breakdown of each class, It really depends on the player and how you have your toon set up. I have seen amazing people of every class as well as really bad ones.

When I started playing I used to think that some races/classes were better than others but later on seeing some people dominate with a class/race combo I thought was trash really opened my eyes. Find a class/race combo you like then look up the specs that will put you at the top of the list for that combo.

As a rule of thumb…if your ok on gold, break stuff down for the mf, if your not, cash the stuff in & work on mf when you can afford to.

It’s been rebuilt once after the 3 factions defeated the first dragons..it will be rebuilt again.

Hi Gaile,

Could you please look into my ticket, it was submitted a little over 3 days ago. The date/time on the auto response mail is Mon, Feb 10, 2014 7:49 pm. That is EST.

Think my ticket number is: 348264

Thanks.

Paulytnz.7619:

I think it would be easier if they just let us collect from the TP from anywhere. Really if they allow us to sell on the TP from anywhere what really is the difference?

I imagine you can not collect items to keep people from buying things from it in the middle of dungeons like potions. Farmers could probably use this to their advantage as well. Who knows the real reason, Anet is funny that way.

Think the option to collect coin without having to go to a TP npc would be better…I sell a lot of item, definitely do not want a mail every time something sells.

Ya, right now it’s the exact same steps to guest as to transfer. Similar colors, similar pop up sizes and about the same amount of text in the pop ups. Simply having to press Y or N on the keyboard would make a difference and get your attention.

When 20 bucks is riding on it…yup.

I like this suggestion that somebody suggested in another post.

“A super simple solution would be to keep guest as it is now and have you type in OK or Yes on Transfer. A super simple caption you have to interact with in a special way would stop this completely.”

Same here. Why did nobody tell me about this before I did them?
