If you prefer the top row of keys to always behave as standard function keys without holding the Fn key:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu > choose Keyboard > Click the Keyboard tab if it is not already selected > Enable “Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.”
Note: This reverses the action of those keys so if you do so and want to say adjust volume, brightness etc., you will have to hold down the Fn key to do so.
Actually the new macbook pro does not have the top row of keys you mentioned. They are replaced by a “tool bar” which are not keys.
How do i play ele?
I recent back to game and found the Star of Gratitude had been released. However, it seems this only got rewarded in Wintersday? This sounds really disappoint for me. Do I have to wait for next year Wintersday with my full bank Empyreal? Or is there anyway else we can gain the Star of Gratitude ?

I used mine, from last year.
Did you have yours in your minipet wardrobe or in your regular inventory?
Wardrobe, i just equiped it before entering instance. Looks like i was lucky..
I think it locked somehow
I have mine in my wardrobe, but haven’t tried it yet. I’ll be trying it tomorrow and will be royally kittied off if it makes me buy a new one that does no good. Then it is no longer a reward, but a road block!
agree
Last year, I did my best got an mini candy corn elemental, and put it into the wardrobe.
This year, for the living story, why can’t I use it?!! Why it force me to buy another one??! I don’t want double mini candy corn elemental!!!!
Please fix!
ya hope they notice this already
ok, idk if you guys notice or not, there is still a can not move bug after you leap, this is breaking my game experience, i got is some times in spvp, which cuas me lose fights
oh i really demands mini collection
This is senseless, because minis already have their own collection achievements …
before it gave any collection achievements at all.
i am not talking about the mini pack collection but the other minis. Our mini collectors keep buying minis from gem store and trying to get hard-to-get minis such as karka, lluma etc, I think it would be rewarded.
i demands this also, having 130 stacks of those
oh i really demands mini collection
When halloween events starts? or we dont will have any new?
October 21st through November 3rd/4th. New LS episode drops on Nov. 4th.
I’d say they would keep it from Oct 21st to Nov 21st, the new LS drops Nov 4th doesnt means Halloween gonna ends that day.
So I was in Lion Arch, and heard people talking about every time they want to log out, they just join an spvp, and log out when it pop.
No wonder there are so many 4v5 games in the NA server. This really need to be rework.
Hot Join should have more basic reward than Structured pvp
US solo que is so mess right now. This can keep newbs out of solo que.
Structured PvP can have some epic reward that need a long term play to redeem, and hot join should gave more basic reward in short term than Structured PvP.
you know what will lead they remove sky hammer? Everyone when you see it’s sky hammer, just type “GG” and rage quit.
This price leap makes no sense to me. It’s just like the dye news back in March. If minis unlock account wide I would have expected a flood of duplicates boosting supply. And like dyes I expect a price crash right after the patch hits.
This is dissimilar to the dye situation, though.
Dyes used to be learned per character and were therefore removed from the supply when used. If someone wanted Abyss Dye on multiple characters, they had to buy multiple Abyss Dyes. When dyes became account-wide, everyone who had duplicate dyes on multiple characters got unid dyes in refund, which resulted in a veritable flood of available supply. My account alone resulted in several hundred fresh dyes for the TP.
Minis aren’t bound except those which are bound anyways, and even then they’re account bound. If someone wants to run around with a bikini Kasmeer on 5 characters, they only really need the one, depositing it in the bank and pulling it out on which character they’re playing. Since they’re not bound or removed from supply for having duplicates, there won’t be “new” minis being created to flood the market. There will only be as much supply as there ever was.
I’d wager far more people had duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate, or even higher dyes pre-account-wide dyes than have duplicate, triplicate, etc. minis. Presumably the people buying them up now will, if not flip them immediately, hold on to them until the supply dwindles because people are removing them for achievements or convenience.
@general topic: I hope they do one of two things with the achievements: Either retroactively unlock them if you had the previous unlocked (doubtful, unless you didn’t re-gain AP for unlocking them) or treat them like the clothing wardrobe in that you only need X amount of minis in total, rather than “Complete sets”. So basically, like how the current wardrobe achievements are “Unlock 1000 skins” rather than “unlock 100 Light armor skins/medium armor skins/heavy armor skins/swords/greatswords”. So that way people who got gem store minis can count those towards the achievements instead of needing to specifically get each set complete (especially for those of us who got the current achievements and then sold or otherwise got rid of minis they didn’t want or need any more).
well I dont think so, because dye can actually be reproduce, but minis can not. the only way you can get is buy from TP. As long as they doesn’t get over gem price, not gonna down a lot. Also some of them such as mini karka even out of print. That means the price would never go down, just like another example of Ghastly Skin.
I have to bring this up because the spite kick happens a lot in long run dungeons such as FOTM 50, ARAH p4 etc. Currently you can be a dungeon holder to avoid it. But after the patch in Sep, how are you going to handle this?

Can you explain the Attacking Paralyzed System?
it didn’t describe what it is, but it says its a new system.
http://news.duowan.com/1409/273490420519.html
Description up there from Chinese GW2 website about the new change.
1st information is the WVWVW number cap, we were wondering a long time and Anet never tells us, now can clearly see it is 300.
2nd information is a new system in WVWVW called Attacking Paralyzed System is going to be introduce. Seems like going to be change the WVWVW fighting along with the commander system change.
3rd information we already know that China gonna have their 1st WVWVW Tournament.
I feel for that commander. I turn around during a push sometimes to exactly this.
I laughed at this sooo much
(edited by Giotto.2607)
I highly support that they should give all color free to the people already have commander tag now! Because when I bought the tag, gold to gem was 1gold = 120gem!
Yes, government always right, problem always should be solved personally.
See? This just demonstrates your complete and utter failure to understand simple statements.
I just don’t want to argue with you a clear thing.
I am out of this forum. Cuz no one cares about this right here.
“This game is free, what do I expect? LoL.”
I got mad 100 times in this game than I was playing other games.
Maybe that’s the reason all my friends just stopped playing it, and all the old players left.
gg,
I just popped in to say hi. I think this thread is hilarious.
Keep up the good work guys.
Thank you although, i am serious. I am starting screenshot and report for the issue now. So happy that they actually got banned.
This is like saying "Don’t blame the government. Solve everything by yourself. "
You’re asking the “government” to fix a problem that should be solved personally. Fix yourself before you ask others to fix your own problem.
Yes, government always right, problem always should be solved personally.
I see alot of people posting about these ‘grief kickers’ or people kicking. But in 2 years of GW2 I have had it happen to me twice. And I pug about 95% of the time. Therefore I am forced to conclude that those people regularly being kicked are doing something to deserve it.
And theres often something quite simple. I was running fractals with a friend the other day, and a pug was being a bit of a kitten. We wiped in one bit, and he started blaming the way I played guardian. My mate opted to kick him for the comments he made, which would honestly have not helped out. I elected not to back up his kick request, told him to drop it, and said to the bloke in team chat something along the lines of ‘next time you want to tell me how to play guardian, either get your own, or gtfo’. He laughed it off, but didn’t try and tell me anything again.
On the flip side, there are people who make kitteny annoying comments, and I just decide I cant be bothered dealing with them and kick them. And I am not afraid of any anet sanctions for doing this because I believe that this is the purpose of the kick system.
Anyway, my point is I think the vast majority of people complaining about getting grief kicked probably deserve it due to behaviour and attitudes prior to the run. And based on your responses on this thread, with an entitled attitude and griefing is only a problem when it hits you, I’m gonna go with your part of this majority.
Well, I never get spite kick in other dungeons, but FOTM. And, I was keep telling, not have of the time for all the group. It’s half of the time for the group “there are more than 1 people from the same guild”.
When I make pug groups, I have 3 rules.
1. If you’re new, tell me when I ask
2. Pull your weight
3. Don’t be a kittenbagI won’t necessarily vote for a kick for breaking rule 1 unless you’re dragging the whole party down, but breaking the other 2 and boom you’re out.
I really like mixing it up with different classes. I’ve done runs with all sorts of party make ups, it makes things interesting.
BUT, once I see kittenbaggery appear, that player is gone. I don’t care if we’re at a boss or just about to finish, you disrespect people in the party I will votekick you. If a number of people are being punks and I’m host I will bomb the instance.
well I don’t know what you do for this, but when there are more than 1 people from the same guild in the group, this just happens 100x than the normal.
There is no system is perfect, if you trying to find the cons, it’s always there. I am just suggesting some better solutions, not perfect perfect solutions.
Except that the first one would be worse than our current system if you allowed people to penalize others for kicking, since the potential for abuse would be massive. It’s not a better solution at all.
Not being able to invite someone after having to kick a person out of an instance is similarly a worse solution than the current situation. It affects the average player way more often than it would affect any circumstances of someone being kicked “out of spite”.
If you want better solutions, don’t demand that ANet make these vast sweeping changes. Instead, look to what is within your power to change. Run with friends. Run with guildies. The solutions have been staring you in the face, you just don’t want to accept them.
This is like saying "Don’t blame the government. Solve everything by yourself. "

I have 6k hours played also, hour does not mean anything.
Maybe you didn’t get a kick because you are rare to running with pugs.
And also, I emphasized for many times I didn’t have any problem running with all pugs group, but the group has more than one people from the same guild.ps. 2 hours maybe not a issue for you, but for me, it’s like the time I can spend on gw2 that day.
Huh? 2 hours/day, game released approx. two years ago… would be something around 1.400 hours played. So it doesn’t seem as if 2 hours is your usual amount of spent time in gw2… anyway, glad I found this topic and glad someone linked the Guild JP griefing thread.
omg, I am very sad for someone’s brain in this forum. If you eat only one apple per day nowadays for losing weight, dose that mean you always eat an apple after you born?
I’m also sad for you digging deeper in contradictions and still not being able to realize or at least acknowledge it. Though I won’t give in to your flame-bait, just a quick summary of your contradictions:
- Griefing a guild puzzle for no reason but trolling is ok, kicking you (may be for a solid reason, may be for no reason, who knows?) is bad. Contradiciton.
- Kicking you wastes 2 hours of your play time which is all you had that day. Either it’s just not your average daily playtime thus making it a nasty coincedence for you but still giving you the chance for a second try, or your lied about your overall playtime. Contradiction.So have a good day Sir, I already made my conclusion out of this topic and performed what seems to me to be the appropriate ingame action.
Nash out.
sorry, I am not going to arguing with fools again. Cuz what you guys do is trying to make the cleavers fool and beat them at the fool level.
1. FIX THE GROUP AND LFG SYSTEM.
That includes: 1) do not delete the party chat after got kick; 2) add “decline” button when kick people dialog showing up;While it would certainly be a benefit to have the party chat persist after changing zones, it wouldn’t affect people’s ability to kick someone out of their group. And usually, if you’re getting kicked by a group of people who know each other, they’ll have already coordinated the kick so that they can time it quickly.
3) build report system that allow people to fast report spite kick, people gets reported from “3 of the people has no connection”, can not join dungeon in 24 hours(or other penalty).
A system like this can easily be abused. A person with 2 RL friends who aren’t in their contact list could ask them to report a group who delivered a kick. If that kick was a justifiable kick (Maybe the person who was kicked was intentionally griefing the group) the members who delivered the kick would be punished for protecting their interests from a griefer with your system.
2. CHANGE THE DUNGEON SYSTEM.
When the group kick a people who is not disconnected in the dungeon, the group won’t be able to add another person into group unless they reset the whole dungeon.Okay, so let’s suggest a scenario: A group has fought through Arah P4 up to lupi when all of a sudden the Guardian says, “omg brb kid vomiting”, and now she’s afk running in a corner. The team is down a person and they can’t replace her. They’re at the mercy of this Guardian who suddenly went afk and they don’t know how long she’ll be afk for.
Your system fails to protect the interests of this group and others similar to it.
Since the dungeon token, gold reward is daily. We can change it back to that split the daily reward in the middle boxes of the dungeon, and split the daily reward after each single fractal is done for FOTM.
This does offer some small measure of compensation, however again, it doesn’t reduce the chance of you being kicked (justly or unjustly).
In the end, all I’m hearing from you is, “Make it easier for me to report people who kick me.”
However, that doesn’t help, because ANet still needs to be able to discern if a kick was justified or not. Putting in mechanics that penalize someone for delivering a kick can easily be gamed and will most likely just end up creating different ways to grief others.
The only statement I think might be interesting would be splitting the daily rewards so you might have a “halfway through” daily reward.
There is no system is perfect, if you trying to find the cons, it’s always there. I am just suggesting some better solutions, not perfect perfect solutions.
Giotto, how exactly would you suggest ANet go about resolving this “spite kick” issue?
Two ways:
1. FIX THE GROUP AND LFG SYSTEM.
That includes: 1) do not delete the party chat after got kick; 2) add “decline” button when kick people dialog showing up; 3) build report system that allow people to fast report spite kick, people gets reported from “3 of the people has no connection”, can not join dungeon in 24 hours(or other penalty).
2. CHANGE THE DUNGEON SYSTEM.
When the group kick a people who is not disconnected in the dungeon, the group won’t be able to add another person into group unless they reset the whole dungeon.
or:
Since the dungeon token, gold reward is daily. We can change it back to that split the daily reward in the middle boxes of the dungeon, and split the daily reward after each single fractal is done for FOTM.

I just wanna say, everything comes out from demand.
And as this issue has been there so long, it clearly pointed that,
If people set an AP or armor check require, doesn’t mean that they are doing it because they are stupid. It means, it actually works pretty well for avoiding bad group.
don’t worry, you won’t get kick before you see the last boss, this is how the current system works.
try to join a 9k+ap group.
I don’t know how many time I had asked for this. But this needs to be punished!
Half of the time I run FOTM, I got spite kick in the last boss, while there are more than one people from the same guild! Spent more than 2 hours and what I got is a kick!
I even can not report them for doing this because your party chat get disappear after you got kicked!
Make penalty for this or change your LFG system! After 2 years game release and the LFG system is still in beta?2 hour to get last fotm boss and you suprise to be kicked? O.O
Do you really think that 2 hour is a normal time to get last fotm boss even with pugs? facepalm
Anyway, i’m 7k hours played and never been kicked.
Some suggestion:
1) improve your build\gameplay cause 2 hour isnt a fotm run it’s a nightmare. If you think that taking 2 hours for a fotm it’s normal then it means every run you are in last 2 hour. That means you are the problem.2) change your behaviour. If people kick always you rather than someone else it means you are the problem. After 7k hour played without a single kick i dont see any spite kick issue. If you are constantly kicked you deserve that.
3) dont complain on forum, anet cant force people to carry other people. Change yourself and you will stop to get kicked
I have 5k hours played also, hours does not mean anything.
Maybe you didn’t get a kick because you are rare to run it with pugs.
And also, I emphasized for many times I didn’t have any problem running with all pugs group, but the group has more than one people from the same guild.

id say i got 2 from 3 chests. thought it’s high rate.
I’ve been harking on the story for GW2 since it’s debute on PC Magazine back when they were announcing EoTN because it did sound like the whole Dragons was shoehorned in. Now we are dealing with a lot of questionable changes in Living Stories that kind of spit in the face of old lore which I’m not particularly a fan of. However, the biggest issue I’ve had with GW2’s story is how much it differed, in style, from the original. As cartoony as GW1 was, I liked the cutscenes so watching GW2 was like looking at a downgrade. That and of course it felt like our choices didn’t matter, especially after the Risen are introduced and you’ve picked a Pact force to join.
well, the thing is I know there is a dragon from the beginning, whatever happens in the way to kill the dragon, it just gonna die. You can see the end even when you start playing. That’s what i mean, I want a story I don’t know whats gonna happen next.
I also require for the official response of this question.
Have you considered trying joining a guild? I haven’t joined a PuG since headstart, and I dungeoneer fairly regularly.
PuGging isn’t worth the frustation for me.
no ads.
well i do think there are many group don’t has ap req, and you can always open one by yourself. Why bother join a group you are not fit?
I don’t know what do you guys think about this.
I do feel GW1 story is a lot better, “Betrayal, lies, justice, legends, choice, responsibility” let me feel like a hero, let me surprised.
When I found the White Mantle is a lier, I feel betrayal and lies!
When we beat Abaddon, Shiro, I did feel like a hero, I believe that the justice will eventually conquer the evil!
When I sounded the Stormcallers horn, when I beat my shadow and draw gods attention, I did feel legends matters!
When I chose to support Luxon and fight with Kurzick who wants to steal out turtle eggs, I did feel choice matters!
When Ascalon princess dead in the Frost Gate, kneel down in front of the Stone Summit; when all of the Deldrimor become stone for saving the world from the destroyer, I do feel responsibility is important!
But GW2… Why Dragon Matters?
Idk, but I do feel people are more materialism, i never got a kick in gw1 in 5000 hours play, but gw2… maybe it’s just people are changing not the game.
Could be the average player isn’t as courteous, or could be that the loudest and most obnoxious ones stand out more since everyone else is pretty much quieter about it.
And I do feel gw1 story is a lot better, “Betrayal, lies, justice, legends, choice, conflict, responsibility” let me feel like a hero, let me surprised.
But gw2… Why Dragon Matters?
When I was playing GW1, people made money doing Droknar Runs from Beacon’s Perch and usually didn’t do that for free. Similarly, there were some dungeons in Eye of the North which were being speed run for a fee and UW groups which were similar . . .
And I see more people doing free stuff for GW2 like donating siege to commanders or offering gold for upgrades to WvW objectives during a tense week. There was a guild which invited me into it solely because they were doing bounties and would sign up random people for a time so they could experience it.
It’s the same as GW1 as far as the players’ good manners are concerned.
. . . so long as you do NOT bring up whether you supported Ellen or Evon.
Idk, but I do feel people are more materialism, i never got a kick in gw1 in 5000 hours play, but gw2… maybe it’s just people are changing not the game.
I don’t know if it’s only me have this feeling, but gw2 let me feel something is not right, not fun, at least less fun than gw1.
People seems like are more materialism in gw2.
When I was playing gw1, people would like to help each other, it was all like “Lion Arch run, tips if you like”, “free hero daily helper”, “COF, tips if you like.”
But now, gw2, it’s all like “Arah path1 last boss, 7g”, “p1 zerkers only”, “We’d rather kick you at FOTM last boss because we have another guildie wanna come.”
Yes, in gw2, we have living story, dynamic events, etc that we don’t have in gw1, but I just don’t feel happy when I am playing. Ok, maybe a short time happy, but can’t stay long.
I mean, I don’t think this is the right feeling of a good game, how about you?
(edited by Giotto.2607)
ya. I actually want them all in same screen and using a nice animation to control.
Seriously, if you’re being kicked this often, you might want to rethink how you interact with other players.
Yeah, i had been rethink this, def not my problem. Only thing found may works is that if i saw there are people from the same guild, i just leave at the beginning to avoid this.
This group system needs to be change Immediately!!!
badbadbad!!!! need to w8 for the fix~~
