Guild Wars 2

Lawton Campbell.8517:

For the actual limit, the current number I’m thinking of is 600 requests/minute. I think that’s enough to pull all of the trading post listings every 30 seconds (which is how long they’re cached for). The limit is a rolling limit, so if an application makes 600 requests, then waits for 30 seconds, it should be able to make another 300 requests without going over.

Lawton Campbell.8517:

/v2/commerce/listings is updated every ~30 seconds and takes ~150 requests to pull all the data from.

Neural.1824:

How often is data from the Trading Post updated such that it can be obtained via API?

/v2/commerce/listings is every 20 minutes.
/v2/commerce/prices is every 2 minutes.
/v2/commerce/transactions is every 1 minute.

These change on occasion, refer to the Cache-Control and Expires headers.

Did listings expiration change from 30 seconds to 20 minutes? I’m a bit confused

Perhaps not related but there’s a bug where if you are not on the ground (jumping) while using the contract it will be used but will not yield any reward (or skritt). Hopefully these issues can be resolved

“We can not help you with this issue. Any further replies regarding this issue might not receive a response”.

Not only has this lowered my trust and faith in ArenaNet, but also makes me wonder if my support ticket is even being looked at anymore. On top of that it’s very clear that the GM in question did not even read the ticket properly and just threw a copy/paste answer my way.

Most of us aren’t upset that we have to go through support to get our accounts unlocked, but the fact that we have to keep sending in replies until the GM handling the ticket finally decides to read and understand what we’re trying to say and actually tries to help us.

This kind of miscommunication is sadly way too common. Receiving a response like this that says that the person working on the ticket did not read the contents of your message and worse of all – is not informing you about the actual status of your request or the issue in general. I’ve sadly observed this behaviour from support several times these past few years.

I’m relieved to hear an official response on the issue providing some valuable insight in the process and what it entails to the people affected. I hope everyone will be able to get back in on their accounts soon!

The retailer you bought from was simply not authorized and probably got the key in an illegal way.

The above is the kernel that everyone needs to know. A large number of the codes that are resold by unauthorized resellers are fraudulent. Naturally, ArenaNet cannot give you a refund — they did not receive the money. They cannot give you a free game — that’s just bad business.

The buyer must beware. Authorized partners do have sales, so watch for those. Or, if you decide to take a chance, please please have a realistic view of the situation, and do not blame ArenaNet for the shady actions of an unrelated business.

Hey Gaile, thanks for your response.

Could you shed some light on why players’ accounts have been suspended? Revoking the key (or even better – rejecting it) seems like a correct response, but it doesn’t explain the suspension of the account.

Angelic.1365:

Still hard as BALLS i just wanted to pose the question.

I’m already working on my second green skin and a yellow skin. I’m sure the 5 hours it took to get the first green skin was expected, but it will only take 45 minutes roughly per skin now that the route is known.

My opinion (based on World 1 so far), make it HARDER!!! Zone 2 was a repeat and zone 3 was a let down completely difficulty wise. And this was without any guidance :o

Thank you for this content Josh F. and Anet. I really appreciate the time spent on creating some of the most fun gameplay I’ve ever experienced.

What if you didn’t have the infinite continue coin.. would that make it more challenging?

What about?

• Pristine Fractal Relics
• Baubles
• Bauble Baubles
• Tokens for living story events (you get stacks and stacks of them)
• …

Oh wow, I love this! Great job!

I too miss the days .. :/

You can show Timestaps in chat and you can show the In-Game Clock in your user-interface (F11). If you change the clock to Server Time it still uses Local Time in chat!

I don’t see the scepter animation speed increase, is this included or not?

Piken Square is starting – and failed :’(

EU open anywhere?

Any EU server open?

You’ve got my support! I love that login screen.

I would love to see a town-clothes slot for backpacks. They’re one of the most visually appealing item type and your town clothes miss out on having them. Of course it would also need a toggle button.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

With the ability to be part of up to 5 guilds – considering you are playing with your friends on a different server, you can be in their guild and advance that guild.

*4 guilds max

And +1 for NA / EU guesting. I haven’t been able to play with my friends since launch. Do we need a petition to speed up the priority?

Considering a recent post on reddit claiming the strengths of Guardians at high level fractal play, I was really interested in finding out the optimal build for achieving this. There’s a few different options I’ve been going through over time and I can’t seem to settle on which one is best.

• Divinity’s : All stats equal, overall stats are higher than other builds
• Knight’s : All-out on Toughness to reduce incoming damage and make heals (such as heals from Altruistic Healing) much more efficient.
• Cleric’s : Maximize Healing, Secondary Toughness and no Vitality. Since fractal damage is % based this makes outhealing some of the attacks much easier
• Soldier’s : Pow/Tuf/Vit – more dps? The guy that reached level 63 uses this but I can’t figure out what’s the best complete setup (incl traits) would be..

I can vouch for Hadess that this is indeed an incorrect accusation and the players involved only traded money to each other for the achievement.

Hopefully this ticket can be reviewed and resolved soon!

Just one thing as a response:

Omg, I love the little guy! <3 FestivoOOooOo!

The Crate of Commendations is soulbound, compared to the commendations inside. They should also be Account Bound to allow easier transfer to another character.

Same here:

- group member got DC between fractals
- she loads in the same type dungeon when trying to re-enter (solo party type) but not in the same instance
- achievement and reward from previous did get awarded

Agreed with OP.

The RSS feed does not agree with the news on the front page. It doesn’t show all the articles.

For an example see attachments.

Other than getting the precursor, there’s very little RNG involved if you use the 1x Mystic Clover recipe rather than the 10x recipe.

Both recipes got the same chances.. It really doesn’t matter which one you use.

Also, like KC said, almost all the money was gained trough the TP and by being very fast we could get some items cheaper (remember when T6 spiked after Gift of Might and Magic were discovered?). The guild only helped for Dungeons, capping in WWW and that blasted temple.

As far as I know precursors drop from chests in dragon events and temple events. You should also be able to make them from rare/exotic level 75-80’s. Some people have reported success but mainly failures – specifically with crafted weapons of that level.

The sigil was Sigil of Strength. And as far as we know all materials were gathered first. Only the Bifrost mats were collected around the same day.

Blocking Issue..

BloodDoll. This mechanic was in from before launch, even during BWE3. A very similar mechanic was implemented in Guild Wars (possibly on a smaller timescale). This is to prevent several techniques gold farmers use.

Anti-farming code was also implemented in Guild Wars. Guild Wars 2 is a very broad game. Almost every single event over level 30 gives the same rewards regardless of your level (at higher levels). The game isn’t designed to farm one spot or event at a time.

The reason these anti-farm codes are currently so restrictive is because of the higher risk involving early launch bugs and the botting involved.

Nope.. Spanish here..

Solution: Turn off High Quality audio.

Not a bug.

30 Days after account creation you cannot send more gold than what your character earned. This does not include money you earned from people who sent it to you.

Example:

• Player A earns 100 gold from drops or TP, Player B earns 50 gold
• Player A sends 100 gold to player B
• Player B is still limited to sending 50 gold, so he cannot send it back.

It won’t be too long until this is gone for a lot of people, since it only applies to first 30 days.
