Guild Wars 2

Trying again, posted this about 5 minutes ago but it never made a topic.

Many things keep me from being good at this game (I’m fine with that, I don’t need to be), but I’d like to be DECENT at it so I don’t hold my friends back when we play, and apparently one thing that is hindering this is my inability to use buttons 7, 8, 9 and 0.

I play with one hand moving my character (wasd), making my primary attacks (1-5) and sometimes healing (with difficulty I can reach 6 on the same hand).
My other hand is, of course, holding my mouse to keep my camera on target.
To use 7, 8, 9 or 0, I either have to lift my left hand and stop moving my character, or use my mouse to trigger the attack (which is slow and frequently lets my target get offscreen).

As a result, I frequently run passive boosts in these slots -which many people seem to think either make no sense, or weaken my character’s damage output/survivability.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to use these slots.

I’m using a standard wireless keyboard, and a standard wired mouse that has 2 buttons and a scroll wheel, so please, don’t say “put 7-9 on the buttons alongside your mouse” (which has been what most advice in-game has been so far)… my mouse has no such buttons

Was talking the other day to some other warriors in Teq, and the subject of me using a shield came up.

I stated that I felt it a bit unfair that shield warriors -which can be eaten alive by conditions- trades damage effectiveness for an increase in toughness (which does nothing to conditions), a 1 second stun with 25 second CD, and a 3 second block with 30 second Cool Down, when other attacks are a) so damaging, and b) so quick to cool down.

Some others suggested lengthening the time of the stun and block, or lowering the CD, but I suggested that, as shields are supposed to be used for survivability, the stun and block each have some form of secondary affect.

The general consensus was the following:
stun: initiates either a low-grade direct heal, a short regen, or knocks an opponent back/down as well as stunning for 1 second
block: removes 1 condition for each second of blocking

It’s short, it’s not too detailed, and I don’t feel like posting the entire length of conversation behind it, but afterward someone suggested posting in the warrior forums concerning it to see what others found.
So…yeah, here it is.

Hey

um, quick question: Are there any light and medium armors for male Asura that, with their horrible posture of arching their backs and shoving their stomachs out, don’t make them look 8 months pregnant?

Just something I was wondering, as it continues to be something shoving me away from playing on my Asura thief, Elementalist and Ranger.

No clue.
How would I do/undo that?

Personally, I’d like a way to mark maps when we find interesting things while exploring.

It’d be a way for us to be able to revisit cool areas alone or with friends and give explorer types (like some of my friends) information they could trade each other.

Hey.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this before.
On my elemental, whatever skill I have in hotkey 9 seems to cast at complete random.
I tried switchign the key that triggers it, switchign the skills in the slot, nothign worked and it’s annoying teh crud outta me.

Anyone else have this happen and know what to do or am I just the lucky unlucky one again?

just went online and checked again, the items and money are all there now.

Aggravating, but it seems to be working now for me

Was wondering if this was something I’m doing wrong, something that is wrong with the game and should be reported, or something that is wrong with the game and being looked into already.

I’m havign troubles with the armor/weapon market.
I placed a bunch of items for sale yesterday after the maint, and I can’t find them now.
I have no money to pick up, and no screen saying I have items for sale.

Someone said it had something to do with a mini roll-back of some sort, but when I bought an item in the market earlier, my money was taken, and no item was available for pickup. I looked at my purchase history and it was bank (though the item I was lookign for showed that one had been purchased since there were only 2 at the time and only 1 left), and thought I had simply been wrong about how much money I’d had; but when I bought another -more expensive- item, I saw for certain the money was taken, but no item was available to be picked up.

One person suggested waiting an hour (but it’s been like 12 hours since I went to bed and my for sale items are still not showing -and 2 hours since I tried to buy from the market and the items are still not there), another said log out and log back in, but that did nothing.

So is this a known issue, am I doing somethign wrong, or did the market bug after the maint yesterday? And can I get my money/items back, or am I just out of luck there?
