A big hulking male norn with a beard and tattoos wearing female winged armor would probably be enough to make me stop playing this game.

Hmmm. Is a big hulking male Norn with a beard wearing this, that much different?

How about if you add high heel shoes? A nice strappy set of high heels can really make the difference to an outfit.

Don’t forget to add the Princess Wand.

And a shiny glittery purse! Sure every Charr needs a purse to keep his make-up…ehm, I mean weapons, close by!

I have no objection to the idea behind the proposal, rather than the proposal itself.
I’m consecutively against every proposal that doesn’t add anything functionally to the game. Wearing opposite gender clothes won’t make me fight better in raids, kill dragon minions more efficiently, or skritt against braham for ignoring orders of a superior commanding officer.

We were promised a purely cosmetic endgame, so it’s totally understandable to want to focus on that part of the game.

Also, one can argue that being true to one’s character can improve performance with said character.

Sorry if posting this here is wrong :P

So I recently got Guild Wars 1, I got fairly far on my own but tbh it’s dull playing solo so I’m looking to make a fresh toon with someone and experience the story.

Must :-

Speak english (so long as I can understand you, any nationality is welcome)
Willing to play frequently
Not level solo
Understand that I want to experience the story and take things slow
Friendly (That ones my favorite)
Open to using Discord

Pick any class you like but we’ll obviously be doing prophesies and Eye of the North (Once I have it) and after that I would be open to exploring Factions and Nightfall naturally but atm I only have the trilogy, not EotN.

I plan on exploring pre-searing Ascalon quite heavily so to start with I’d like one person who is willing to take that time. Afterwards I’ll invite anyone else post searing who is interested to make a party of 4 and that will be the max limit for a while. If you want to meet us in pre-searing thats fine too. Not sure what level we’ll be in post-searing but I’ll keep updating this post.

If you want to have a casual, chilled out time with a good old game look me up, I’m looking forward to meeting new people.

I not only thought the 2015 airplane event was funny, I also thought it was the most beautiful event I had ever seen during my online life.
2016 was quite shocking that they had listened to the mob and did basically nothing.

I liked last year’s April Fool’s day joke. Considering that April 1st fell on the standard patch day, I do not think that it was due to the reception of the 2015 joke that caused them to do the fake patch notes.

I don’t think that all April Fool’s jokes have to be in game things, personally.

Did they even do one last year?

I’m thinking that they may not do one since some people were unable to take a joke in 2015 with the aviator one and even disappointedly tried to use a tragic plane crash to get it removed.

Yeah, I think the “Aviator backfire” was their sadly their last. April 1st pranks can be fun, but the hard thing about in game (or IRL) jokes is that timing has a big effect….not to mention the fact that what one finds funny, others may not.

Their best bet is not something that effects the characters directly but something we’d all still see….change the scenery, put a joke item in the Gem Store, put out a note in the Dev Update about a new 10th class that is obviously so silly it has to be a joke, or tell the us that Skritt will become a playable race, but won’t be smart enough to do skills unless you get at least five other friends to play Skritt too and hang out with you all the time (since Skritt are only smart in groups ~lol~) …. stuff like that.

hopefully and maybe anet will come up with something far more better this year besides SAB . or like the airplane mistake that happened . something that will be funny and add to the game as well . otherwise if its like the airplane thing or SAB i will not be playing at all during that time then

I don’t think the ‘airplane thing’ was a mistake. They had it planned long before any real life incidents happened and it was irrational to me for some to relate it as intentional to any recent things that occurred. There are always some who will take apples and oranges and try to turn them both into melons, lol… I thoroughly enjoyed the airplane animation – it was clever and well done. I also loved the bobble head – I laughed and laughed when I first logged in. Then I took lots of pictures for both events. Even now I look back at those days and chuckle.

I realize some just either don’t ‘get it’ or only want about a minute or two of the joke so they can get on with whatever it is that is their focus. As one day of the year to just get silly I would prefer that Anet continue to gift us with one day of crazy. SAB can be there too for folk who love that and want to get away from the crazy. I really want to be able to look forward each year to what Anet has up their sleeve for us on this one day. Goodness knows we need the laughs.

Had an octovine event succeed insanely close to the timer. In fact, the timer vanished so we didn’t know if we won.

It was pretty rough as 2 sides wiped, many refused to WP and others were just complaining in chat about ml nerfs not bringing enough people.

But there were those that refused to quit and with some combo of fiery gs and every mobility skill in the book, people converged on the last vine. I was only able to get two hits on the last one.

Despite lack of orginization, nobody overburned any side. Found that somewhat miraclous.

Probaly the most satisfying post event lootfest I have had in a long time.

Well, I thought they did say it at one time but I now can’t find it. I found this post from a year back that says to make a ticket so unless it’s changed in the last year, this is their policy.

Ben K.6238:

With regards to obscene guild names, is reporting individual players the best way to address the issue?

A ticket is better. The report options have nothing to do with the guild name so they won’t know that’s what you are trying to report. Get the Display name and character name as well as the guild name and tag and report it on a ticket.

Gaile Gray

Correct. Please submit a ticket. The in-game report is expressly for character names.

How to report a guild name?

Anet have said before you can report all types of names through the report option. They’ll check the character name, guild name and ranger pet names (if applicable).

Of course you won’t hear back from them, they never tell the person who reported a player what the outcome was, but they’ll see it and if they think it’s inappropriate they’ll act on it.

I’ve always been mildly sceptical of this assertion. It requires the busy support person to remember that when someone is reported for the character name that the report isn’t actually for the character name. It also sounds like a time waster as it makes the support person check the character name (and google it for not obvious or other language meanings), check all the ranger pets (and google those), check up 5 guilds (and google those).

In addition I once reported a char for a guild name and nothing was done, until I followed it up later with a ticket reporting the guild itself.

And of course the report fails if they leave the guild or temporarily change the pet name before support checks it.

How long do you think it takes for the support person to generate a list of all the person’s characters and guilds and pets?

And just because you or I think a name is offensive doesn’t mean it reaches ANet’s threshold for taking action. (I mean, generally, I’d trust your judgement more than a first tier support person, but that alone isn’t enough to suggest anyone at ANet isn’t doing their job well for the vast majority of tickets they see.)

More than one senior ANet person has stated that they check several things when using the in-game /report function and I’m willing to believe that until there’s compelling evidence otherwise.

How long do you think it takes for the support person to generate a list of all the person’s characters and guilds and pets?

It’s not the time to generate all the names. It’s the time to check the char name, all the the pet names and all the guild names by knowing or googling or checking other languages for each and every name instead of a char name or a pet name or a guild name along with a specific description as to why that particular name is offensive.

And just because you or I think a name is offensive doesn’t mean it reaches ANet’s threshold for taking action.

Irrelevant. I was talking about time to check and remembering to check not about if support agrees with the person finding the name offensive.

More than one senior ANet person has stated that they check several things when using the in-game /report function

And in sure they usually do, but again its support remembering to check all possible things for all possible ways they could be offensive when they’re busy and the next ticket and the next ticket and the next ticket is waiting for their attention. (Especially if there’s a quota of tickets they need to do each hour). Remember, I gave an example of a guild name that wasn’t actioned on a regular report. It needed a follow up ticket with an explanation.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

First, the names have to be reported before ANet knows about them.
Second, ANet changed their rules on name some time back and now lets more names go through.

So, if you think your guild name falls under the newer, more relaxed naming system then make a ticket and ask to have your guild name changed back. Otherwise, you can make a ticket and report Guild names/tags that are against ToS.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I once had a bad kitten name with the word MILF on it, but somehow Anet forced me to change it. Now I see lots of people running with the guild named:

So, if I can’t have a nice name with the word MILF on it why do lots of people do?

So what would be the “recommended” specs?

OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit or newer
Processor: i3-2100 or better
memory: 6 GB of ram or more
Hard Drive: SSD with 50 GB or more of free space
Video Card (Gee, I don’t know anything about old cards). Gtx 750, HD 7770, or better

what your suggesting is something that will not work very long and would only need to be rewrote all over again . thus so this is my idea of new low end specs

OS: Windows 10 64-bit or newer

I-5 Intel Core i5-7600K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80677I57600K Desktop Processor

or AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor

memory 16 gigs of CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 × 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

hard drive space of 200 gigs or more . same for SSD drives and

MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G VR ready

Sorry, that’s not a “low-end” spec list, though to be fair, it’s not even a list for any spec of anyone. Hint: A 7600k with that ram doesn’t even work.

Windows 10, lovely system, but why?

You mention 7600k and FX together. Sorry, lol. Those are not anything resembling equivalent nor do they fit together in a “low” end spec. Or even high end. You could at least mention the upcoming Ryzen 5s Why 7600k? Are you telling someone with a 4690k to ditch it and get kaby lake instead? What if someone sees, yo, I only have a 2500k, let me “upgrade” to a fx-8350.

GTX 970??? So people can buy a GPU fall asleep for Gw2? Now, I only have an old 1680 × 1050 monitor but my 1060 might occasionally approach 1/2 load in the most intensive WvW big fights. Either card is overkill and will always be until they rewrite the game engine. Pro Tip: Don’t buy a new 970

Why 16 GB of ram? Nice to have but Gw2 uses like 2-3. Also, I’m not sure why it is so specific.

You’re going to burn holes in casual players’ wallets. Please do some more research.

The point of recommended specs is to inform people rather if their old computer can play Gw2 and maintain a decent experience (30+ fps at 1080p). Nobody is going to go out and buy a new i3-2100 since anyone with 1 good eye will see they can buy the newer i3s for the same cost. However, they might see that their Core 2 Duo is too old and they can go improve their experience by getting a new i3-7100 or Pentium G4560 and enjoy a new experience for cheap. But someone with an i3-4160 is going to be like “oh, I guess I’ll hang on to this until it breaks”

200 gig space when Gw2 needs 30?

Likewise, someone with a GTX 460 or something is going to go out and pick up a nice little Rx 460 for $80 and enjoy a modern card that can play new games. But someone with a 950 or 1050 can stay put and wait before upgrading.

How does your list help anyone choose anything?

If you desire silky smooth 60 fps at ridiculously high resolutions, then sure get the latest and greatest, but why would Anet here or anyone else need to inform you of that? You’d do it anyways. Yes I know new AAA titles ridiculously bloat their recommended to get you to buy new computers, but this is a 5 year old MMO where accessibility is a priority

In all seriousness, allow me to revise this.

“Power Settings”
Windows 7 64 Bit or Higher
2nd generation Intel I5 or I7 Processor or newer or Ryzen
8 GB of ram
50 GB of Free space, SSD
GTX 760 or R9 270 or better

I mean you could do such a thing, but really, is it worth the effort?

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,

So the thing about minimum specs are that they are the minimum specs. It means you can run the game, and that’s about it. Do anything super intensive (like scale the graphics up, participate in events with lots of people, zerg fight in WvW) and the minimum specs can’t handle it. That doesn’t necessarily mean they need to be updated.

One thing that ANet could do though is to also add a “recommended requirements” below/above the minimum requirements. These would probably be the specs to play on medium-high settings for the graphics, and being able to participate in world boss fights/zergs/other large scale events/fights. Not enough to have you always at 60fps, but enough to where you won’t be crashing.

Also, stop bringing up the DX crap. We have been told straight up that moving to DX11 won’t improve the performance of the game at all. If you refuse to believe that I don’t know what to tell you, but upgrading to DX11 won’t make the game run any better. It just won’t.

OP is sort of right.

Assumedly may be a word (admittedly one the forum dictionary is unaware of), but in that sentence, it comes across as awkward simply because it’s not a word in common use. Therefore I’d recommend “presumably”, given it more accurately reflects what the sentence is trying to convey, and wouldn’t cause any head scratching.

Not in common use in our universe, does not exclude it from the game universe.

Bookah isn’t even a real word for us, yet for asura it certainly is.
