Honestly I like this forum alot better

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

I think, if possible, they should make the avatars smaller on the new forum and try to reduce the space each thread title takes up. When I view general discussion in the new forum a significant portion of the page is taken up by sticky threads. It is bad enough on this forum but made worse in the new one. That is mostly due to the spacing for each thread. I really hope as they improve the new forum they work on the spacing issues.

But on the new forum the search function seems to work well. That is a major plus.

New Expansion question

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

HoT is not included with PoF but is offered at a discount through a bundle when you buy PoF from the GW2 store.

https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010688287-Guild-Wars-2-Path-of-Fire-FAQ

Q: Is Heart of Thorns included for free when I buy Path of Fire?

A: No. As we said when we announced Heart of Thorns, we always want to give you the option to purchase both expansions for a single price. With the purchase of any edition of Path of Fire, you can add in Heart of Thorns during checkout and purchase both expansions together for less than the combined prices of the expansions. If you already own Heart of Thorns or only want to play Path of Fire, you can purchase Path of Fire separately.

Gifting PoF to another

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

To gift buy it from the GW2 web store or other Anet authorized retailers (if they offer pre-purchase) and once you get the game key you can it to give to the winner. Just don’t register it and don’t buy it through the in game store as the in game store automatically adds it to your account if you don’t have it already. Of course if you already have PoF on your account the in game store won’t be an option anyway.

A note on pre-purchase, if you buy it from outside Anet via an approved retailer make sure it is pre-purchase and not pre-order. Most sites I see right now are offering pre-order which would mean you don’t get the key until release day as opposed to pre-purchase that grants the key at the time of purchase. Really at this point you are best off buying directly from Anet to make certain you are getting the pre-purchase as the prices are the same as other authorized retailers. So there is no real advantage to buying it outside Anet unless for some reason you have to.

A last mention, if you have a favorite GW2 streamer/content provider check their information as they may have a referral code you can use. Once purchased via the referral code a small portion of the purchase price goes to the content provider so it helps support them.

Ways to world transfer

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

Wiki information on transferring worlds:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World#Transferring

Do note, if you have any characters still lingering around from the PoF demo/stress tests that Anet has not deleted yet the transfer for free by deleting all characters option won’t work until Anet clears them.

I just checked GW2 Efficiency and it still shows my demo characters listed so that may be an issue.

To gift buy it from the GW2 web store or other Anet authorized retailers (if they offer pre-purchase) and once you get the game key provide it to your friend. Just don’t register it and don’t buy it through the in game store as the in game store automatically adds it to your account if you don’t have it already.

Suggestion/bug: Mystic Forge & Invisible bags

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

I agree it would be nice to not have items in invisible bags show at the MF. I’ve accidentally forged exotic weapons I’ve had in my invisible bags that I normally keep for swapping builds. My own fault for not paying attention but it would still be a nice change.

Playing a toon of the opposite gender?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

I play characters of both genders. It doesn’t bother me at all to play a female character. Then again I comfortable with who I am as an adult male so I don’t feel “strange” or threatened at all when I play female characters. I don’t recall ever being “hit on” in game when I play a female character. Even if it happened it was probably something I forgot because it wouldn’t have bothered me. I simply ignore such things.

You can convert soul bound unlimited tools to account bound by visiting the black lion weapon specialist. You just need to make sure it is unequipped and in your character’s inventory to do so. That is a change they made some time ago when they switched all of them to account bound on acquire.

Preordering/buying through Gamestop

Some authorized retailers do offer the pre-purchase with the bonuses. You just have to make sure that is what you are buying and not a pre-order if for some reason you prefer to buy outside Anet itself. For example DLgamer offers it and states that the pre-purchase bonus is included.

Path of Fire Stress Test August 31, 2017

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

I can’t wait to see something like this in front of the most visited trading posts and bank NPCs. Image was taken from the start of the raptor race, so a little over dramatic but I think most will get the point. Yes I know interacting with the NPC dismounts but I still think there will be people that stack there, because “Look at my shiny mount while I AFK”.

My suggestion would be to auto dismount within a certain range of TP, banks and other commonly used services.

Harassment and stalking.

I have reported him many times and I have summited tickets but they told me they will not help me and all I can do is report him in game. I can no longer play this game because of him and I am out of options on what to do. I do not reply to anything he says, I just block him and try to ignore him in hopes he goes away.

If the response from support states they can not help you can ask for your ticket to be escalated to someone above them. Support for the most part is very good but sometimes you have to ask for your concerns to be reviewed by top level support.

If you can, take screen captures (chat logs etc) and any gather any other other information to provide support to validate your claims.

In the mean time block them, use the report function for anything they do that is against the rules and do not respond at all to what they person is doing in game.

tl;dr Block, report, gather evidence, ask for your ticket to be escalated.

1:

Q: Do I need to own Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™ in order to play Path of Fire?

Owning Heart of Thorns isn’t required to access Path of Fire content. However, some content is exclusive to Heart of Thorns.

  • You must purchase Heart of Thorns to unlock and use the gliding mastery, as well as all other masteries introduced in and exclusive to that expansion. You will be able to complete all of the content in Path of Fire without the use of any Heart of Thorns-exclusive masteries.
  • You must purchase Heart of Thorns to unlock and use the 9 elite specializations introduced with that expansion.
  • Path of Fire includes access to the revenant profession, but not the Herald elite specialization. If you only own Path of Fire, you will be able to create a revenant character and unlock the Renegade elite specialization.
  • You must purchase Heart of Thorns to claim the new guild hall released in Path of Fire, and access the Scribe crafting discipline to fully upgrade your guild hall.

2:

With the purchase of any edition of Path of Fire, you can add in Heart of Thorns during checkout and purchase both expansions together for less than the combined prices of the expansions.

Since you already bought PoF there is no way to buy HoT on the same account for the bundle price through the GW2 store. That is a point of sale bundle offer. However you can find HoT available at many Anet authorized retailers for about the same price as offered in the PoF bundle. For example checking DLGamer from the list of authorized retailers offers HoT for $19.99, the same price that was offered in the PoF/Hot bundle.

Anyway, if your old beta characters are still available during the stress test it might be a good idea to delete them when you are done participating so you can free the name up for use on your normal characters right away.

how do I unlock the living word season 3

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

^ Just to clarify since you keep referencing playing the episodes, players did not actually have to play any part of the living story episodes to have them unlocked for free. All they had to do was log in on a character during the release window for each episode. I have a couple of episodes I never played at all but are unlocked because I logged in during the window.

how do I unlock the living word season 3

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

The living world episodes were free for anyone that logged in at least once during each episode. If you didn’t have an account during those episodes or didn’t log in you will have to buy them from the gem store.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World#Unlocking_Living_World_episodes

Episodes can be unlocked for free simply by logging in to any character during the episode’s original release window. This lasts until the next episode is released; for Season 3 (current season), episodes are on a cadence to be released two to three months apart. After the release window, players can unlock the episode for 200 Gems. The journal will indicate this with a “lock” icon and a “Buy Now” button.

Should Rev Profession be included w/ POF?

Though, having already 9 Professions with no character slot and be given a level boost is pretty useless.

With Deluxe you receive everything advertised on the sales page at the time of purchase. The only thing dependent on release, as you noted, is the Lily of the Elon pass because that area won’t be available until release. You still receive it at the time of purchase you just can’t use it until release. The Sunspear pre-purchase bonus is a weapon skin and not a weapon itself, you get to choose which one you want.

Also you mentioned gems, the Deluxe version does not come with gems. The Ultimate version includes 4,000 gems and it takes up to 72 hours to receive those.
