Guild Wars 2

Hello, people. I was hanging around level 70-80 zones with my character on SR server, but I didn’t find enough people to complete events in reasonable time.
I thought my problem could be that I play during night time, when most players are at dinner/asleep.

In particular I play in the time span between 19:30 GMT and 3:00 GMT

Is there any EU server I can play in to find some people to zerg with in high-level zones even at that time of the evening/night?

P.S.: I found some similiar threadsin the forum, but they were from quite a few moths ago and probably not so much up to date.

Hello! My e-mail (I use hotmail) was disabled and I would like to link a new e-mail address to my GW2 account. Could someone explain me STEP BY STEP how to do this, please? ç_ç

Thank you very much.
I’ll post there. ~

This is a sort of “technical” suggestion.
There are many people who would like to play from their campus or from other places where some internet ports are not available (for example, my residance doesn’t allow to use Torrents at certain times of the day by closing some ports. Ports GW2 uses are included.).
I know the most obvious reply to this kind of post is “If your residence closes these ports, there is a reason for it”, but – as you can see- the reason is not always to forbid people to play.

I read through the internet many topics like this, noticing I’m far from being the only one affected by this kind of issue.
Then I would be glad if ANet will add some “advanced settings” in wich we can chose the internet ports the game is using, so we can avoid unconfortable blocks.

Try to run a Mesmer. It is a potentially (very) strong class that, however, OFTEN requires at least a little of planification, even in the esiest fight. There are still easy fights, but auto-attacking leads you to nowhere and you have to at least think about dodging, phase-retreating, summoning clones… and other stuffs like those

All right. These is not exact information, but the point of your info is the point of my question.
If the power of illusions was set to a standard value, no matter the player’s stats, to run a Phantasma-based build it would have been useful to go full-HP/toughness for the character.
But if my power and my precision care, I don’t want my illusions to be only nice-looking tanks with no damage output ^^

Oh, simple and cool xD

So, my clones deal the same damage as me? (I watched a video in wich they were dealing much less than the player. Never checked on my character because I assumed the video-guide was right).

And what’s the “x” value for Phantasma?
And what does the “?” mean for toughness?

Thanks for the help >^<

All right, Yuyuko is not deceptive in combat (even if she is in attitude), but she has the spectral class and the ethereal flavour of mesmers, IMHO. uwu
Plus, she’s not fat, she is just a little big-chested. xD

Well, I’ve understood that player stats are linked with his/her illusion stats.
But are there some formulas?

Mmm… I get your point.
A solution was needed.
But still I’m asking myself if that was the best solution o.o
Doesn’t mind, I will get used to the new system.

:(

EDIT:

Halbarad.5832:

@OP you do realize that the unlimited transfers, and now the 24 hour blocks, are temporary right? At least if they go by what they’ve said before, we are going to be limited to one transfer a week from what I remember. And it’ll cost gems. Of course we’ll have Guesting then too which might solve your needs.

Ehi, wait, a sec. I don’t like the idea of gems for transfert. Transfert doesn’t add contents, why should I spend gems for this? O_o
I can get used to wait to transfer my character, but PAYING is another story.

As the title states, my question is:
Clones & Phantasma stats are based on player’s stats?
Or do they have independent stats that are based only on themselves and traits we choose?

[Sorry if a similiar post already exists. I used the search box, but I didn’t find the answer]

Oh LOL, you are right.
Oh well, as an Otaku I’m happy my favourite class resembles some nice archeotypes we’ve already seen in animes and videogames.

Adine.2184:

If someone broke into your house wouldn’t you upgrade the security with better locks and security system?

Yes: I just think this is not the best security system o.o

TottWriter.8591:

People want to be on worlds with high WvW scores because of the passive benefits that score offers to players in terms of crafting and gathering bonuses etc.

So people transfer to those worlds so that they can access them, and then hop back to be with their friends.

That’s a good point, but I think it would be possible to block the PASSIVE BENEFITS for 24h after the “jump”. It would fix the problem without troubles for people who just want to play with their friends.

TottWriter.8591:

It’s frustrating at the moment that the limit is in place, but eventually guesting will be implemented so that people can play with their friends. Hopefully soonish.

This could be a very good fix to the fix, but I think a better fix would be better than a fix to the fix. ^^"

This is one of my favourite characters in the Touhou videogames (I don’t know how many of you know this saga…)
She is a ghost (or a “Phantasm” if you prefer), and her attaks are based on Pink Butterflies.
If anyone notice something similiar to Mesmers in these features I’ve mentioned, raise up your hand!

Here it is a picture of her. She’s called Yuyuko.

I’m member of two different guilds. Each one is in a different server. I have friends in both and it often happens that at a certain time of the day in one guild there is nearly nobody logged into the game, while in the other guild there are lots of people connected. For that reason I (and I’m sure many other people do the same) often need to jump between different servers during a single day.

You said the “one transfer every 24h limit” is made to prevent some kind of exploitation of the WvWvW system. I don’t know what kind of exploitation is that, but it seems unfair to LIMIT every single (honest) player because a possible exploit exists, instead of solving the exploiting mechanism directly. If someone bites you with his teeth, you don’t just smash everybody’s teeth so that nobody can bite anymore.
You prevented biting, but you also prevented eating.
And preventing eating is unfair and unhealthy.

Arena, I love your game. I’m enjoying it a lot, but I read about lots of players complaining about you, telling that you didn’t respect the “no-grinding” promice.
I can see what’s their point, even if I don’t share their view.
Their main complains are:

1) Grinding for legendaries is too much, almost crazy.
2) Even if I grind, there will be no gameplay advantage for me, so… why am I grinding?

Reasons I don’t share their opinion:

1) Legendaries are an objective for VERY hardcore players to demonstrate they are hardcore, but without unbalancing the game. This is their meaning and the system works perfectly for me.

ANYWAY!
Their points are true, the grinding is very high for those Items, expecially for people that are not exactly hardcore gamers but… almost. People that spend a lot, but not too much time in the game. Those are people feeling like they don’t have an End Game achivement, because the main one requires too much effort.

Then, I think a possible solution would be to add some sort of “semi-legendary items”, items that are cool but not as the true legendary ones. Items that require grind but not as much as the legendary ones.

What do you think, ANet?

I’m loving the writing ’till now. Both in the Personal Story and in the open world.
Just go around and listen to a Skritt speaking.
Or go in Rata Sum and listen to the Progeny Speaking. “Your Mother IQ is so low!” is one of the funniest piecies of dialogue I ever heard in a MMO, guys. xDDDDD

I am still at the early quests (I’m a lvl 29 Mesmer) and ‘till now I didn’t have any problem with story quests. I was able to complete all of them by soloing (or with a single friend) even if sometimes I was slightly underlevelled. And I don’t consider myself a strong player. I just usually kite mobs to avoid damage and rez one or two times.

The only time I faced a hard battle was in a quest suggested for lvl 28 while I was still a lvl 21 player. Mobs killed me immediatly, of course, but they were 7 levels stronger than me, so I can’t complain! XDDDDDDD

I am almost the opposite of a hardcore gamer. I usually don’t like hard fights.
But, what the hell, they were not only easy… they where nothing. I was afk for some seconds after the Asura Golem appearing, then I came back to the screen, I hit the boss probably just twice or not much more. Zojja did almost all the work or the golem was just worthless.
I had not the time even to understand the mechanics of a boss fight. And that should be the aim of a Tutorial. PLUS I didn’t feel a Hero at all.

That’s such a pity because that Golem looks so cool ç^ç

By the way, long fights don’t mean hard fights. Those boss could be fixed for example making them much more resistant but making them also inflict a less-than-ridicoulous damage. In this way, you can feel like you destroyed something “heavy”, but without facing a real menace. That could fix the issue, I think, making the fight longer, more satisfying and would give the time to learn something.

Also Mesmer can inflict both, not only Rangers.
The problems would be “thecnical” ones (Quote DF Anton here) and “roleplaying” ones.
Keeping the mechanics different makes them “feel” different. 

The eternal struggle between hardcore gamers and everyone else continues.

But bleeding already does that… Those two condition would bocome identical O_o

I don’t know much about thieves, but I think full invisibility would ruin their fun in PvE.
I am a Mesmer and I can sneak unseen into a pretty large Inquest camp by keeping myself in stealth and hiding thanks to the environment. If I, a Mesmer, am able to do something like that, probably a thief is ALREADY able to do much better.

So improving stealth could make the challenge too much easy,I think. And it would probably ruin the fun.

I understand it wouldn’t be  so easy to fit in the lore, but playing as a Skritt would be EPIC!! If it will never be possible,please, ANet, let at least Asuras use Skritts in their Elite skills! ^o^

In this picture there is a screenshot of me in the location of the quest. The name of the quest itself is in the upper right corner of the screen.

The aim should be to defend two NPCs, but, even waiting quite a loooooong time, nothing happens: the NPCs don’t move and there is not a single mob coming.
Nothing at all.

Well then, as the title says, I was able to walk inside a wall.
Here it is WICH wall, into the Heart of the Mist.

And I was also able to Phase Retreat (I’m a Mesmer) into a Mountain.

I was not so smart to take a Screenshot of the map, but (if this can help to locate the mountain) here it is a screenshot taken just as I blinked out of that place (yes, I was able to go away only by Blinking)

I hope this information will be of some help!
