Guild Wars 2

PaxTheGreatOne.9472:

Well darwinism says we are most likely very closely related to apes and monkeys and the humans here have been acting a bit like the monkeys in this test […]

Biology. And the main theory in biology is the theory of evolution of the species ( read up what a theory is and what a hypothesis is, kitten in advance) There is no Darwinism. Unless you are a brainless biblebelter… ;-)

By the way: we ARE apes. and monkeys.
Jut one special species.

I personally think HoT is way overpriced. i just will wait for the price to drop because i do not want to get scammed. I am not whining, i am not complaining.
I think it unfairly priced and though won’t buy at this price.
Like the Black Lion Merchant.

Arena Net can make prices, that we cannot change.
We can say yes and buy or say and buy not, and arena net cannot change this.

I am ok playing the basic game.
I have not invested into game development of the addon.
i need not sell it for profit.

Have a nice day
And the experiment shows that even in species less bright regarding their cortical properties know the basics of fairness.

Edit: typos

The joke ist not offensive.
But it is kittenING ANNOYING.

Maybe Arena net should eat a clown the next time they try to be funny.
It is an annoying sound. it maybe was funny the first 3 milliseconds before it was beginning to kitten me off.

I want to play my game normally, at least without this kittenty sound and bad imaging.
The very first moment i thought it was a bug (yes, the mesmer bug is still in i think – the gliding one…).

Please ARENA NET, if you do something stupid kitteny again, maybe let us decide to turn it off…

and why i am still not convinced A-net is reading tickets.

Dear Community,
Dear Arena-Net Team!

My apologies in advance for not being very lenient about what i am going to tell:

Tickets which concern very many players should be handled within a week at most, according to customer support standard rules in almost any company.

I am from Vabbi, the smallest World in this game, and we have been fighting for the last two years to not get drowned.
We still are small, we may not be playing best, but we have been fighting and we have gained some ground.
If we lose, we lose.
But we want to be defeated fairly, at least without being cheated big style.

And this is, what has been happening the last few weeks.
Our community has been writing tickets – with no result.

So this is, what’s happening:

One player from underworld (i explicitely do not call him/her by name) is using hacks/cheats:
speed hack, auto revive hack, teleport hack, siege weapon hack, damage hack

Like this very morning:
5 People in Shandaran Bastion (Vabbi Hills),
outer gate down, inner being attacked by 2 golems, casnnons getting destroyed.
1 defender, Underworld Colonel, a thief.
He is using one cannon, we attack the cannon and he cannot take the heat – ok.
He jumps down, gets killed, yes: finished. 1 second or 2 later he is respawns right there.
the cannons start shooting, both of them, no one is manning those cannons. he is downing us, we up ourselves.
we kill him 2 more times, guard spawns while most of us four are downed.
he revives on the spot again.

before this we got him, when we took Vabbi garrison, he ported in, trying to revive the lord.
and after this, he tried two more times at garri to kill the lord.
he got killed and revived on the spot again.

It is annoying, yes – but this is not my point:
During the night he took, most likely alone, almost all towers and keeps, including stonemist all over all borders.

This is not fair, and i cannot imagine all those fair and proper Underworld players wanting to be teamed to such unfair behaviour.

This is killing the fun.
And A-net:
(1) has not managed to work on tickest several weeks old.
(2) does not register teleport hacks (could be automated)
(3) is not realizing how much this is detryoing the fun factor of WvW

Thanks for reading my rant… i am not kittened, i am sad.

Best Wishes for happy holidays

PS: Any bets on how long this post will reamin before being taken down?
PPS: We are thinking of upping footage to youtube etc. …

tyvm.
still an annoying untested standard feature automated testing should have covered easily

Pyx.1906:

>Wonder if it has to do with people who have multiple guilds.

Nope, I’m a one person guild with no other members. Belong to no other guilds. Sole owner of this one. I cannot access any guild bank or cave materials.

no it is not.
and this again looks not like professional automated testing and QA.
it is a standard test case.
use whatever suite you like, but pretty please automate those things…

Hi guys,
sorry if this may not be the right area for this topic- in this case: my apologies.

I am guild leader and i cannot access the guild bank:
tried different chars
all chars had leader status
leader role has rights according to guild settings
red exclamation mark next or stash, cave and the third guild storage area
items are shown grey and cannot be moved around or taken out
it does not work at the guild master in wvw or LA
it does not work at the guild banker also

Some players i talked to can access their guild bank.
does have anybody have the same problem?

my thanks in advance
and please spare flames (look up to the beginning)

regards

oh sooo funny. really. it’s just annoying and you cannot trn it off. i really hate this ugly thing.
it would have been ok, if it was for a few minutes.
but like this i think my joy today has been destroyed. i really hate it.

Thank you Thalador.

I would even go so far and say, that overpowered servers have no fun too – it is far too easy….

I just wanted to shout my complete and utter admiration for your brilliance in matching servers.

Not only did you manage to pair up the lowest ranking servers with any others, but – my best congratulations – numbers like servers haveing zergs of 100+ to servers like Vabbi (mine) with zergs at best of 30+ (if at all, most times we have 10-20).

It is now like our esteemed skilled zergies are splitting up their zergs, because 50 are enough already.

Using superior siege as defence and oil and so on did not even slow those masses.

I really would like to see the actual population numbers of the servers.
As long as there is no cap on entering WvW based on server population, WvW is just pathetic.

Yes, we are fighting back.
Yes we are killing those others guerilla style.
Yes we switch borders to get keeps and towers and so on.
Yes, we try to use any advantage we can muster.

And no, this is not whining.

It is just no fun (most of the time), if you just get steamrollered and there is nothing you can do to change this fact.

And yes, one could switch server – if i wanted to.
But this would not solve the problem(s).

I would ask Arena net for some inforamtion and, i would really appreciate it, some attempts to solve it or even a solution.

Best wishes…

PS: you can keep any typos

FoW just has a zerg of 70+ players or can divide up in 2-3 zergs each 20-30 players.
Vabbi can at best manage to get 40 in a zerg.
Most times we are 10 to 20, maybe 25.

But we got ahead of WR at least

I do not guess, it is paranoia.
I have seen this in eve online where prices for many materials rocketed past massive bot cleansings.

And so far i have reported 5 more bots since my last posting.

Disclaimer, directed at the moderator(s) reading this:

Yes, I have already read the sticky post above.
Yes I AM reporting bots.
And Yes I have seen the latest reply in the sticky thread is old 7 months (!)

I have posted a few weeks ago, but my thread was closed within 5 replies.
__________________________________________________________________
BUT:

1) Since the last 2 Weeks i have seen more and more and even more ressource node botters, using teleporting hacks.
2) Today i have reported 10+ bots (and 9 within 10 minutes in Cursed Shore).
3) You really can (imho) see bot activity on a server, mine is Vabbi, by monitoring the prices on mithril and elderwood, also lotus roots.
My observation would indicate that arena net removed many bots 4 or 5 weeks ago (i hope to remember correctly, but something around this timeframe) and prices wennt up rapidly. I saw a rapid rise in bot activity and voila (!): primes plummeted at fast speed.

I really want to play Guild Wars 2.
It is fun, it is nice, it is made for various styles of gameplay.

But this fun is – at least for me, but i dare to bet not for me only – massively ruined by not identifying and banning those people.

Furthermore the are teleporting, also when engaged in combat.
I have had some strange encounters in WvW, when people suddenly disappeared during combat – and no it was not stealth.

I would also emphatically plead all honest co-players to not tolerate and report those cheaters.
I know they teleport in and out fairly quickly.
If i cannot rightclick and report them in time, i try to remember the name, do a party invite and use the pending character thumbnail to report them.

I do not know how many i have reported already in this server, the smallest of them all, though i would guess the number has to have 3 digits very easily.

Another word on where thos cheaters are:
Surely in Malchor’s Leap and Cursed Shore – but i have seen them in as low zones as Wayfarer Fotthills, Lornar’s Pass, Dredgehaunt Cliffs or Gendarran Fields.

It is annyoing, it is bad for the fun in game, it is bad for the server economy.
And, dear Arena net: IT IS BAD FOR YOUR OWN BUSINESS as these are most likely account hackers and gold sellers…

Best of thanks in advance for not closing immediately.
Hopefully there will come some good hints for you in this thread.

thanks alot.
hope, you are right

Hi there,

i searched, but found no actual topic.
I asked ingame (Lions arch, WvW) but got no reply.

I cannot access to the guild bank.
I cannot see any member accept myself in the members list.
Researched items (like politics, architecture, etc.) is not showing.
rank settings (etc.) are gone.

Is there someone else encountering the same problems?

my best thanks in advance
regards
Lugaedh

Dear Team,

it may appear to myself as simple as it might be:
but whya aren’t you just comparing postition data on those annoying teloprting characters, teleporting from ressource node to ressource node?

there are only 2 options in my perspective:

a) a hack, allowing the character to literally port from node to node.
b) logging in and and out using some hack to change log in positions.

both, imho, can be easily detected automatically by comparing postion data and login/logout frequency.

you need not be a genius to define an easy algorithm to select suspicious data.

Pleaxse doe MORE about those guys. I just reported 3 characters within 1 minute at the same node.

ty Lugaedh

PS: i saw one appearing within a not accesable hole in the rock, the tree’s top only looking out. Yes, you can chop it, but you cannot access it (Malchor’s Leap, Peninsula of the Drake Brood Mother)

No, the problem is no solved, just postponed.
And, as your wisdomness may not know or regard, is the fact that transfer lacks guild influence points and guild achievements.
thanks for the only partially constructive reply nevertheless

Hi there,

as i sometimes roam WvW with my rogue partner, it is fun, sure.
Because almost any encounter is a potential target.

So what is no fun:
trying to get 100% world completion.
Since many weeks there is a complete inbalance regarding wvw.
The balancing of the worlds does not – in any way – work for vabbi.

At good times, Vabbi is able to claim it’s home map.
sometimes a few towers in the other maps (markets never have been a problem).
But then the ultimate zergs strike back.
not skill, not tactics, but sheer mass roll over any resistance.
using arrowcharts, trebuchets, ballistas (etc.) is no use. it is just plain and simple overwhelming numbers.

and i cannot believe that this is fun for the dominating world to really be fun (except for a few lesser gifted players) to have no really existing opposition.
this is an an empty victory…

i would hope something to be changed.
best regards

@ citrus
Legion (Christian demonology)

bollocks.
Legion = roman military unit. Christians just hijacked the term in uses like “i am legion” – which just means many.

call me sarcastic: but any wagers how long it takes them to notice something is not right?
and how long will it take until someone say anything about it to us?
