Guild Wars 2

To socially engineer the CS agent, the hacker provided a variety of personal details about Gaile. But we don’t accept personal details as primary proof of account ownership. We require things like verifying billing info, two-factor auth, access to the account’s primary phone number, or access to its primary IP address in cases where IP address ownership is clearly established. When we can’t verify, we decline access, knowing that incorrectly declining is an unfortunate but better outcome than incorrectly granting access. These are all established and documented policies. We have a great team of customer support agents who follow these policies, and the hacker tried a bunch of times and found one agent who didn’t.

*We want to protect all accounts as much as we want to protect our own.

We take your account security seriously and will continue to do everything we can to ensure that our support team consistently applies this security policy and prioritizes protecting you from account hackers.*

As more than one person said in this very thread this is not the first and it will not be the last time it happened. You as Arenanet need to review all the policies that are in place for the CS support. You as Arenanet (as per the part that are in bold in the message quoted) need to change the way the CS works after changing the third-party company that handles your CS.

This is what serious companies do when they got these enormous security issues.

Hi all,
i’m a casual player that plays gw2 almost every day for the time that it takes to do dailies (both PvE and Fractals). I play the game since release, my main is a Tempest, i have also a mesmer, a thief and a ranger at 80.

I would very much like to find a guild that teaches raids. It is the only content that i didn’t try since HoT.

On my Tempest i have exotic armor, ascended staff, ascended rings and one other accessory is ascended.

I’m totally willing to learn! But i cannot speak on TS because when i play is when my daughter sleeps :p

I’m available for further questions

First and foremost:
i’m just a casual player and i’m not so much experienced but here are my 2 cents anyway.

I tried a condi build in PvP, it was fun and easy to play. The build was D/F, Ether Renewal, Signets of Fire, Air and Earth and last the greatsword. I was almost able to win all the various 1v1.
Apart from the fact that we have low hp and low toughness, our profession is not built to sustain condi damage easily. If you want to try and defend yourself you have to forgot mobility. For me the best way to defend is to use the staff, but that weapon with mostly AoE cannot give you the mobility required in PvP mostly.

Love everything (all the PvE and new professions) except Tempest!
Tempest is terrible in my opinion (elite is useless, overload mechanic doesn’t work, shouts overlap traits, new trait lines is bad, warhorn is worse than focus or dagger offhand even as melee). It must be improved tremendously before the release.

In comparison Chronomancer is amazing.

Can you try to be more specific? We are really using this beta event as a true beta, so in a beta testing environment, what you are kind of saying is “My elite skill and overload mechanics are not functioning at all”, and I know that’s not what you mean.

It would help the teams working on it to make it better if you could let us know “I am not enjoying the Tempest in its current state. Here are the particular things things that are making me not enjoy it, and here are things that I would like to see done to change it.”

Hey Ruby,

this is the thread with which i’m more in agreement:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Tempest-Beta-Feedback-Thread/first

Exactly what i feel…
The warhorn fire field is the revenant field (the one that puts bricks in it) revamped to be suitable for an Ele in the fire attunement, but less powerful than what we can do with Staff.
The overload are weak… I did more damage with my Staff 1 in water (that if you play an ele know it is not at all powerful eheh )

I like trying out the new Elite specializations. Especially the Tempest (yeah, it feels weak in comparison to the other specializations but i enjoyed playing with it).
My main character is an Ele so i was particularly interested in that.
Also Dragonhunter is very funny to play. I love the bow on the Guardian!
Also i like the feel that the map give us. Night and Day cycle, Rally points and so on. It feels very much alive, more alive than the other “normal” maps.

It is true the Tempest is pretty much useless… It doesn’t do too much damage but when you are in D/W or in D/D with the overload you can go near the enemy… If you go Staff it is difficult to use it, the only ones that can be useful are Water and Air.
Fire has very low damage but i have to tweak a little with my traits.
But at least i’m enjoying it for now (I’m enjoying the new mechanics)

And also if you use a skill just to do a little bit more damage while using overload the overload stops… This is not so good. We are sittings ducks if we are not able to at least do that. The overloads feels very weak.

If anyone wants here is the thread on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3g5zc1/feedback_elementalisttempest_bwe1_thread/

i’m totally without idea at this point… I would love to see my elementalist with bows that we can enchant… Or a build with sword/dagger like the thief…
Also Colin here (http://www.pcgamer.com/guild-wars-2-heart-of-thorns-interview/) said that they thought outside the box… so all bets are off now for our elementalists

Yes i’ll buy it without any doubt…
For the ones that are whining about the fact that they probably will finish the content in a week: come on seriously? Did you have a life? a job, a boyfriend or girlfriend? Or you play 25 hours per day?
No because that is the only explanation for this type of comment.
Guild wars 2 is not only for hardcore gamers, get over it.

1) So lorewise (and rolewise) we will find out what the sylvari did only with the expansion pack? Not before? Now our characters (and the characters sylvari first) don’t know what happened with the pact, correct?

2) When HoT will be out how the story would be narrated there? Like the LS or like the PS? Starting from what point?

3) On Dulfy it is said that it will be playable in 6 weeks at PAX East… So we can expect it to drop on August like the main game? Before or after? :p There will be available a pre-purchase like the one we had for the main game? :p i had to try and ask these questions XD

Michael Walker.8150:

has anyone tried tickling the vines?

yep with lava font… nothing happened.
I tried with the one in fort marriner and the one in bloodcoast ward in LA.
But i see that at the base of the vines that grab the waypoint there is a blue luminescence.
I think the vines are “drinking” the magic within.
i don’t know if anyone says something like this XD

So any of you misses the Elemental damage, such as in GW1?
For example against the destroyer if we used a water build we dealt a lot more damages than any other attunement, and fire was the weakest against them.
Destroyer came out of lava so they were “immune” to fire but they were helpless against water.
In my opinion (i always played an elementalist both in gw1 and now in gw2) it something that the game lacks…

“When it’s ready”
probably at 18/19/20 CEST that is 9/10/11 PDT

Hi,

can we expect the release of season 2 at around the same time as always?
Likely around 18/19 CEST – 9/10 PDT ?

ah ok… thanks
it’s kinda wrong… but ok

hi,
it is just me or the language filter that can allow you to see only the English words doesn’t work?
I have the filter enabled but in my chat i always see german, french, espanol, russian and so on.

it is just my problem?

Hi,
the problem that i encounter more frequently while playing is this:
the skill bar doesn’t work anymore.

I didn’t do anything strange before it happens but when i try to use whatever skill it got stuck, they don’t work and my character goes “idle”.

Is it a bug or is it me?

Gw has 2 professions that are, without a doubt, something you don’t see every day in every mmo.
Paragon and Dervish included in the first chapter with the Nightfall expansion

or you can use this one:
http://dulfy.net/2014/04/23/event-timer/

It’s pretty good.

Graewoof.5123:

Can You amend the Mega server system CHART that shows the boss schedule to show SERVER time? I do not reside on the east or west coast of the US nor do I live in the central European time zone. I am not sure how those folks compensate for Daylight savings time.

I do know how to translate server time to my own time zone.

Thanks for your consideration,
Graewoof

We in CET add 1 hour. So it is GMT+2

BIG question:

With these changes can we hope to see Orr cleansed finally?
Maybe adding a condition on the megaserver to create a map for the ones that have finished the PS, and maybe in these new maps add an NPC (maybe at Fort Trinity) to go back and play on the previous maps….

Please… Please…
Now it feels like we don’t have made any actual impact on the world with the PS.

goldenwing.8473:

PS: sorry to spam the thread.

There is one value that our guild has had for as long as we have played games on-line.

It’s a value shared by a lot of WvW players:

Play what you love. You will be more effective that way.

Just like he/she said
I’m playing the Elementalist because i love it (i have 3 character that are elementalist) and for me is good in every aspect of the game. But i don’t do a lot a sPvP or WvW

The only positive thing i see here (because i don’t have i guild and i’m a casual player) is that now i think it is possible to have Orr cleansed, with some more personal story maybe. The megaserver can create some new maps for the ones that already finished the PS with Orr finally cleansed…
Am i the only one to see this?

it will come… we don’t know when or where..

Yep, i agree Desolation have both train running around the clock (Frostgorge and Queensdale)

Now they should released some news about it, because the LS is finished and Colin said that after the LS they will talk…
I hope sooner rather than later.

Gentle Is Insane.6594:

I read elsewhere that switching to the DE version of the atlas allows for you to find the locations and then you can switch to the EN version to read what you have discovered.

Also odd.

this worked for me

Jinn Kazuma.2163:

I kind of feel like we are underestimating just how corrupted Orr is. Sure we reversed the continuing corruption. But Zhaitan (the lore version, not the actual in game version) was immensely powerful and one would assume the corruption at the heart of his domain runs deep. For all we know, it could take anywhere from a week, to a hundred years to become habitable again. As for the undead, just remember how many thousands he threw at us and how many we found in Orr. The undead will likely linger on for awhile, especially while who knows how many of his lieutenants are still out there.

Yes but i think only Zhaitan could create them not his lieutenants. So we should be able to see a decreasing on the number of undead…
Also we should be able to see some change… At least near the site where we uncleansed Orr with Trahearne.

I totally agree with the op on this. It is possible, also for the problem of LA in personal story.

Largos & Kodan absolutely _!
Also Quaggan

I don’t like the Tengu very much…

Christina, you are simply amazing!
A big hug to you

Or maybe you can just guest on another server like Desolation (EU), to do it… Ok… then you will probably go to an overflow, but at least one or 2 knights are always dead

1. Guild database search in game
Like i suggest in one topic i would like to see a tab in the guild window to let players search for a guild in game. Forum and chat are too chaotic.
2. New race
Kodan, Largos, Quaggan (everyone love them, just admit it :p ), Tengu, and so on… It is not important which one…
3. New Professions
Ritualist, Dervish, Paragon, ecc. As for the race it is not important for me which one.
4. New/Old territories
Probably we will see more of the Maguuma Jungle, but what i really would love to see are Elona and Cantha.
5. Precursor crafting or hunt
6. Player Housing/Guild Hall (both or one or the other)
7. Territories really freed after the PS
Explanation: for those who finished the PS i would like to see a different Orr, without Risen, and where the cleanse it is finally started. Maybe a different “instance” than for the players that didn’t finish the PS.

I think it is all the others are already written in other post

Actually i just made a similar suggestion:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-LS-and-Content-release-and-QA/first#post3735043
Here is what i write on that topic

after the last release of the LS unfortunately we can see that maybe the 2 weeks release schedule is to tight.
I would like to suggest to Anet a couple of things as a “programmer” myself (i’m an Oracle DBA and i know how much testing is needed to do something in the right way as the customer want).
First thing:
If you want to maintain the 2 weeks release schedule i would like to suggest to reclute some of the players in order to massively test the patch one, two or three times. So a closed beta test of only the content. You can come up with the process to choose which players to reclute (with non-disclosure agreement and so on). Or maybe as someone as said in the forum use something like DOTA2 that have a client only for testing the feautures.
Otherwise please change the schedule to something more “human” to test more intensively the new content, so less people will be angry for the bugs and more people will be happy with you and your job.

I agree with what you are saying. And i think is totally possible to do what we are suggesting.

What do you think about it?

We are still waiting the cleanse of Orr, what was expected in this LS 1? If the PS is completely useless on the world…
The LS is like a tv series… the seasons end with a cliffhanger.
So i don’t think there will be any payoff or something like that.
We just need to wait the next big patch in April or May.

the last four (i was actually able to play these 4 ones because i’m home from work in maternity leave) and the Bazaar of the four winds.

Thanks i searched other posts but i didn’t found anything
Thanks a lot!

Quick question:
anyone has noticed this dome in LA?
But more importantly what was there before the attack and why this dome?
The various spot are asura artifact of some sort.

Can you help me ?

LastShot.4762:

Ele has the easiest time on this one.

focus equip, slot mist form, attune to earth
After cinematic
Mist form->walk next to Scarlet->focus 5->stomp (no dodge needed)

I heard thief can do similar with stealth, but haven’t tried yet.

Thanks to you i did it!!!
Thanks a lot!

Nick.6972:

Where it goes from here?
Well, certainly not Cantha.

Maguuma, obviously :p
Mordremoth is there, isn’t he/she?

So if it is Mordremoth he/she was underwater?
Because there was definitely water there.

Hi,
i was searching for a guild but i can’t find a place that is not dispersive as the forum here or the chat in game.
So i thought about all the other games i played and i remembered a feature in Atlantica Online that was dispersive but it was in game an people could search there for a guild and an officer or the leader of a guild could promote it.
It was a simple window inside the game with the announcement for recruiting.

So i would like to suggest to create something similar in GW2.
A tab in the guild window where there is a table that indicate the name of the guild, the tag, n° of members, if it is PvE/PvP/WvW or what, the main language, if it is cross server, if it is recruiting, a short description and so on.
In this table a player can search for a guild based on the column of that table.
After you click on the line of one guild you can see the various information in another page and if you want submit the request to join.

For a guild leader or officer to be able to post the promotion of his/her guild the only thing requested is a small fee. Then they can erase the post or modify it. Erasing should be free, modifying should be not

I know that there was a database that used to do it, but there are a few problems about it:
1) it wasn’t in game
2) not everyone knew about it

So what do you think?

P.S. Sorry for my English. I hope it is understandable

Under this LA there is the old one, and under that there are tunnels full of destroyers (GW1 instance)

Zoid.2568:

There’s hands for each of the five races.

Nope, there isn’t a Sylvari hand.
From top clockwise:
Marjory Delaqua
Rox
Kasmeer Meade
Braham
Taimi

So no sylvari.

Hi all,
i’m looking for a casual guild on Desolation server. I mostly do PvE.
I have a little baby so i’m not always playing, sometimes i’m afk for that.
My main is a Norn Elementalist lvl 80.
The guild i’m looking for should be English or Italian for the language used.

I would suggest also to expand the playable map to Cantha and Elona, alongside the new races and new professions discover. If that was their plan anyway…

Actually as it is said by Groonz.7825 it will be great if there will be in game an NPC for that.
Or maybe we can spam that…

I’m totally in, when i go home this night i will change immediately the color of my armor.
