Guild Wars 2

Great, thanks Ageii, I’ll be looking for it once I get home and get a change to try some of the new stuff.

Yzen.1256 “I’m having some serious deja vu here dating back to the Everquest ranger boards circa 2000-2003.”

Then you might remember what happened after… Their ungodly damage from bows… snares that lasted forever and roots that were on par with the Druids. If you had no or weak ranged damage, you were as good as dead when facing a Ranger.
They were Gods of PvP .. well almost as Godly as the Bard.

I was having this issue as well.
I’m not sure if this was the solution, but I was messing around with my settings and turned vertical sync off, this is when the blurry text in the Black Lion interface happened. I turned it back on, logged out then back in and it seemed to clear it.
Now I’m no techie, but it worked for me.

target the bot then right click their portrait.
A menu should appear and choose “report”, then choose “botting”.

Well, it seems that even the NPCs are hacking

Hey, no offense was taken

You are correct though that I have been out of the MMO scene for to long to realize that things have changed… It’s the Rip Van Winkle effect. Perhaps I’m longing for something that has passed already.

I’m still enjoying GW2, but it may be because I only have some hours on the weekend to play, but I suspect it may be because it immerses me in a fun and enjoyable way.

I agree with you, as I myself sated that I compare all other MMO games to Everquest. What I meant by that statement was when people say that GW2 should be more like XYZ game or it will suck, or GW2 is just like XYZ so it will fail. That is not a fair assessment as GW2 is not XYZ, but it’s own identity. GW2 has it’s own flavour and style which sets itself apart from other MMO games and is what makes it unique.

I work directly with customers in my job. Sometimes promising on an end result of a project is the wrong thing to do. Things will change as the project is dynamic, not static and therefore the end shape may not be as envisioned by the customer. If the project does not look like what the customer wanted, but ends up doing what the customer wanted, then I consider it successful. Sometimes it’s better to give the customer no information rather than that the reality that you are at a stalemate with the other project developers and need time to come up with a solution. The customer usually ends up boiling mad and discontent with the whole project. If you say “we’re working on it”, they may get impatient, but not angry enough to drop the job.

I’ve been reading posts on the forums since the Guild Wars 2 went live and wasn’t surprised by all the negativity, as it seems to be the (un)natural course MMO forums seem to take.
Some of the topics warrant the concerned tone, such as profession balance, exploits, gold sellers and server transfers, but it’s the self-centric and aggressive manner in which it’s delivered that turns me off. Demoralizing the development staff and fellow players by threatening to quit, making biased comparisons to other games or outright name calling will garner nothing for an otherwise great community.

Guild Wars 2 is still in its infancy, and so is still learning to walk; expecting it to run and leap hurdles is asking too much. Your comments and suggestions are in a way teaching the infant how to walk, so please be kind and gentle; you’ll get better results in the end by not screaming and kicking the baby

I’ve been out of the MMO scene for a number of years, mostly because my life is getting too busy to spend much time in a community based game, but also because I have not found anything worth playing for too long. My first “addiction” was Everquest and I compare all others to it, but not in the game dynamics, graphics, pvp, character balance or other such technical things, but in the amazing community in the early days of the game. I still get pangs in my heart when I think about how everyone used to sell their goods in the EC tunnel or battling my first Sand Giant with a group of strangers or even the pvp fights which resulted in friends coming to your aid; such a great community back then. Guild Wars 2 has this potential, but with everyone bringing their negativity to the forums and then into the game saddens me, and I wonder why and how did MMOs begin to attract such antisocial behavior and self-centric game technicians who see the pixels but not the beautiful landscape.

My parents never bight us copious amount of toys growing up, it was mostly hand-me-downs from cousins and such, but man, did we love those toys, broken and otherwise. Little plastic soldiers with bent guns and no heads, hotwheels cars with no tires or even miniature train set with no tracks were loved by my brother and I. We would bring them outside to play with and our friends would come over with their shiny new toys, but we didn’t care, were happy and heel to have what we had. I think this sentiment is missing when people espouse that they spent X amount of dollars for this game and expect it to be exactly how they want it … they’ve forgotten how to be happy with what they have.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t expect the game to change or evolve to become a more polished and enjoyable experience, but man, give it some time! Step back, enjoy what you have now, but voice your opinion in a constructive manner that will advocate a positive change in the future.

Thank you ArenaNet for bringing me back into an enjoyable MMO and thank you for all your hard work in developing the game and for the future potential I look forward to experiencing.

I do expect to get flamed, but if this post gives pause to even one negative player, I’ll be happy.

BTW, I play a Ranger… We need some love

I am currently using the Cyborg MMO7 and the key binding works perfectly. I think as Panderp mentioned, it may be because of the external software used to bind the keys.

I think it would be great if once a character(s) is tagged as botting, they could become targetable, with a big red target shown on the map and could be hunted and killed for all the money and loot they are currently carrying, the catch being, they can’t target you… You could even make it an event worth experience and karma!
Just think how crazy mad the botters would get if they lost everything they were carrying; it would defeat their purpose and perhaps drive them from the game.
