Guild Wars 2

Ok, all my character slots are full. I heard some friends are playing on another server, so I thought I would make a new toon there and see if I could find them. When I clicked on “World Selection” from the Character Selection screen, it brought up the list of servers. When I selected the server I wanted to make a new toon on, a bar at the bottom of the server selection box named “Transfer” lit up. When I clicked on it, it offered me the opportunity to transfer all my toons to that server, apparently free of charge.

I don’t want to transfer all my toons to that server (which would mean I would have to leave my current guild), I just want to make a new toon there to see if I can get in contact with my friends there. So here’s my question: was I offered the transfer because all my character slots are full (thus not allowing me to make another character), or because GW2 doesn’t allow a person to have toons on more than one server? I know I could find this out by deleting one of my toons, but I would prefer not to do that.

Thanks in advance !!

The last thing I need for 100% completion of Lion’s Arch is the Vista at the top of that big green construct in the square. Can someone tell me how to get into that contraption in order to get up there ? I can’t find the entrance…

Thanks !!!

Dang, you’re right….thanks !!!!!

ACK…the Rainbow Jellyfish comment made me realize that when I went after getting all the pets, I forgot to look at the separate display box for underwater, which means I missed it and the Shark. The Shark I can get via normal means, but the RB Jellyfish is another of the HoM pets. Thanks for the reminder

So what is the answer…am I screwed out of getting these HoM pets just because I didn’t play GW 1 ?

My Muriellow is named “Mugly”, my Bear is “Baloo”, my Scorpion is “Its My Nature”, my Jellyfish is “Jam Up”, my Lynx is “Lap Scratcher”, my DrakeHound is “Odie”, my Raven is “Edgar Allan”, my Eagle is “Ole Baldie”. Not all the funniest in the world, but just w/e struck me when I tamed them…

In shopping for a new MW GreatSword for my Ranger, I noticed that a large percentage of them had the ability:

“Increased inflicted burning duration: 5%”

My noober question is: none of the 5 GreatSword styles does any fire damage, so why would this make sense ?

Thanks!!!

Um…so does this mean I’m just screwed and I can’t get these 3 pets? That doesn’t make any sense…why would my ‘K’ screen show them if they were GW1-only pets….

I wanted to buy a new bow for my Ranger when she hit 40. I did a search, found one I liked for 1.41s, and was about to hit the “Buy” button when I noticed “or Place a custom offer” beside it. So I clicked on this, and it said there were 750 of this item available. So I said “Aha, overstock!!”, and I decided I would make an offer of 1.01s and see what happened. I did this, and the system deducted 1.01s from my fund and then said “Thanks” or “Complete” or some such (don’t remember exactly) .

That was last night. Now, 18 hours later, I still have no bow.

So my questions are:

1. is there a time limit on this offer, i.e., will I get my money back at some point if my offer is not accepted? I can see the offer on my “Items I am buying” screen, but there is no indication of a time limit…

2. how does the seller know that an offer has been made – does he get mail? If so, this is a pretty sucky way of doing it, since that person may have quite playing, died, or just be on vacation for a week or two…

I have gotten all the pets listed on the ‘K’ screen except Black Widow Spider, Black Moa, and White Raven. Looking these 3 up in the GW2 Wiki, I am told that they can only be obtained with xx points earned in the Hall of Monuments. What the heck is the HoM and how do I earn points there to purchase these pets (and maybe other cool stuff) ?

Thanks!!!

(x,y) map coords are another pretty universal MMO standard that are missing in this game. They are quite useful for marking something to return to later, also for accurately and easily describing one’s position to others.

Please add this…thanks !!!

I’m not sure what the pattern is, but sometimes the name I give a pet “sticks”, and sometimes it doesn’t. What I mean is, I charm a new pet, give it a name, then for one reason or another I call a different pet. Then the next time I call the new pet, its name is back to “Juvenile xxxx”.

Please fix this…thanks!!!

Two other things that cause me a lot of hassle and lessen my immersibility and enjoyment of the game:

1. Please add the ability to send mail to alts on the same account. This would allow me to have an “AH mule”, like in the other MMOs I play/have played, and free my main toon from wasting time finding bank and AH access (waaaay to hard to find in this game, btw) and allow him to just enjoy the game.

2. Adding the ability to send and receive mail from anywhere, thus eliminating the search for a mail box. was a stroke of genius. No clue why you didn’t do the same thing for bank access. It makes perfect sense and would greatly enhance player enjoyment and simplicity.

Fishing should absolutely be added to the game.

Fishing is just fluff, but one thing that is sorely missing and that makes the game less immersible and more of a hassle is no CoD. This is an MMO standard, for cripe’s sake.
Add it soonest please!!!

Zoul.1087:

Makes sense if you are lazy or in somewhere where there is no vendor. You don’t want to leave where you are at because the cost to waypoint would be greater than the cost to sell on the market for a fee.

Thanks for your reply!!

This still doesn’t compute for me, since it would actually make more sense to delete items in a full pack situation, which means you would break even, instead of listing them on the AH at vendor price and actually LOSING money.

Maybe I am just underestimating the <dare I say> stupidity of the average person….

I just hit 40 on my Ranger, and would like a change of pace. I would like to try WvW, but have no idea how to get started or what to do…I’m afraid I would just wander around looking like the noob I am. Could someone point me to a nice 101 or getting started guide for WvW ? Maybe something other than an Anet doc, which I have found to be…empty and not very useful.

Thanks!!!

When I search for an item in the AH, I see many items that are listed for sale at the sell-to-vendor price, or within a few copper of that price. This strikes as downright dumb, since the AH subtracts their 15% fee from your sale before sending you the proceeds. This would mean that you would get less from selling an item on the AH than if you sold it to an NPC vendor. Am I missing something here, or are there just a lot of ignorant peeps out there ?

This skill fires even without a target. Perhaps that is intended, but it also continues after your target dies, in the case where you do have a target. This is….kind of dumb. It should stop when the target dies, IMO.

Thanks for a fun game !!!

Please make the 3 types of gathering tools account bound rather than soul bound, so (1) if I delete a toon, I can give them to his replacement, and (2) if I find I need the next highest level of tools, I can give what is left over of the lower level ones to a lower level toon. Alternatively, make them salvageable and/or give them a sell back value. Having to just destroy unused tools is very irritating and wasteful.

The thing I hate most about this game is that there is no way to trade directly with another player PLUS there is no CoD option in the mail system, together which mean that there is no way to securely sell an item to another player outside of the AH. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put at least CoD in!!!!! I am not a hater, but this making me froth at the mouth when I play this game. Not only is it horrible game design (I speak with 20 years experience designing and implementing software) but it is just downright stupid.

Also, I hate having to pay cash to warp to somewhere where I can find a station to access my bank. NO, they are not all over the place. There is no reason why Anet could not do bank access the same way the do mail access and let us open our banks anywhere from our own menu.

PLEASE change these two horrific design flaws!!!!1

Is this it for a “general forum”? Is there no suggestion box ? I’m not a hater, but wow, these are the most primitive, limited forums I have seen for a major MMO, unless I’m missing something….
