I am sorry, that my English is really bad, but I hope that you will understand what I write in here. If you are not, please read that article what can be found behind of that link.

I am also sorry Gaile, that I put this thread in here, but I wanted to warn everybody about using unsecure Wi-Fi connection, what might even give access to your email credentials.

We are living now age of mobile devices and Wi-Fi connections, and there is always something what we haven’t think about, when we are using these devices, they do have also vulnerabilities. I think everybody have secure their home Wi-Fi connection, but how about when you are not at home and use your mobile device outside of home network. I read really good article those vulnerabilities what unsecure Wi-Fi connections have. I will put link to it end of this thread. It has been written Eric Geier (NoWiresSecurity Founder & CEO). Article’s name is "What Wi-Fi eavesdroppers See on Unsecured Networks.

Main issues what these eavesdroppers see is this:
- Websites what you are visiting,
- Files being transferred over the network,
- Email login credentials and messages
- FTP login credentials and transferred files,
- Instant messaging conversations and
- Telnet login credentials

At the end of the article he is giving advices how to keep Wi-Fi connection in safe.

So, if you are connecting to the GW2 Forum via your mobile device, make sure that your Wi-Fi connection is safe. If you need to log in to your email via your mobile device when you are accepting authentication message, make sure that your Wi-Fi connection is secure or you are handing your email credentials to hackers same time.

Don’t use your mobile device in any internet café’s or places where you are not 100 % sure of the secure of the Wi-Fi connection. Keep your login credentials safe and remind yourself, if you are not sure that your Wi-Fi connection is secure a.k.a you don’t know the security state of the Wi-Fi connection, don’t use any login credentials.

Here is the article, I hope it will make you all more safe

1) Racial Titles
+ Prestigous title like GWAMM2
2) Add meaning to existing Personality System
(Charm = Foes less aggressive; Dignity = Foes like they are now; Ferocity = Even yellow and white foes are attacking)
3) Order Specific Events

@Margareeta.3461: Worst idea ever… It’s “grind like a korean” mode.
—-
There are two categories of hard mode askers. These who want challenge (and an extend of the dynamic level can be enough). And these who want to feel over other players by showing them their rewards (skin, title, …). The second category do not deserve any regard.

Yes it might sound like that. If some player choose to play Hard Mode, it should not be affected any another character or players around him. It should affect only that specific character. In instance world it is possible to choose Normal Mode or Hard Mode quite easily, like it was in GW1. In open world solution must be something else, because it should NOT be affected another characters.

Hard Mode could be like Ascencion. Character is dropped to level 2, all hearts and personal story is cleared, all dungeon story modes are cleard again, and they need to be done until character can access to another dungeon paths, and so on.

- Foes are giving less xp, but better looking loot.
- Characters can not use high end armors or weapons (meaning level 80) until they achieve back that level.
- Ascension is permanent until character has been reach lvl 80 again.
- Ascended character will get title Ascended.
- Ascended character need to do map completion again and when it is done, star behind of character name sould be very shiny.
- Ascended characters are glowing.

To me this doesn’t sound like a hardmode but as leveling up an alt with much more grind than before. Nothing which makes any encounter more difficult but just having the leveling phase expanded. Some might buy crafting mats and level up via crafting.

I didn’t mention crafting purposly, if you have done it in Normal Mode, it is not available in Hard Mode anymore, you have done it, and you really need to work for getting Hard Mode done.

It is personal decision, do you want to be ascended or not, do you want to get Hard Mode or not.

Yes leveling phase is expanded in huge way, you need to be done events more, all hearts are not leveling to you lvl 80 automaticly,

Loot is better looking, so you need to work for that loot. You are level 2 twice long than in Normal Mode and same thing in another levels.

Unlocking HM should be an option that has great impact on your character. It should not be something you unlock automatically and should be a choice not a simple UI unlock. And all should start after you have got your map completion Star.

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback i will make sure to do a summary and list actions on Monday.

I don’t want to derail the thread but i would also like to know how everyone would like the next topics to be chosen. Simply would you like to vote again or would you like us to pick the second topics on the respective lists?

Finally i have said this many times so for those that have seen it repeatedly please forgive me for the repetition, but once again i want to make it clear that the only ‘feedback’ i have asked the team not to spend their time on are those comments which are not productive. Specifically comments with no actionable substance. Whilst it is nice to see positive commentary we spend a lot more time discussing and negative criticism so we can learn more and improve the game.

Again for the feedback on how to improve the CDI,

Chris

My personal opinion is that you will pick next topic from the list. Players have already discuss and vote about those topics.

guild window problem

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Margareeta.3461

This issue is happening to me right now. Game shows that I am alone in a guild roster, it does not show what rank I am in the guild, it does not show guild’s influence, no upgrades, no history.

I am located in the EU, but I am playing NA (Fort Aspenwood) server.

Please Arena Net, would you please fix this problem asap.

Same problem with my guild as well. And I am located in the EU too and playing in NA (Fort Aspenwood) server.

I am even guild leader in this guild and only see myself on the roster. Guild chat is not working either, says that I am not in a guild. I can see guild bank, but I can not put in there or taking from there anything.

First of all, I am sorry that my English is not good. I am not native English speaker.

The CDI evolution process I suggest these things:

1. Summaries of discussions / direction every three pages
2. More transparency of the CDI meetings / summaries of memos
3. Information what CDI meeting decide to most likely to add in the game

Thank you ArenaNet when you give us the opportunity to take part in your decision-making in matters relating to the development of the game.

Rock the Nightmare videos

Thank you Ronah for sharing this with us.

The first part of the video really looked like a Nightmare. That psychedelic change of colours made it looking really dreamy. The idea of Charr seing Sylvari in her dreams was hilarious. Charrs used to think that Sylvaries are little weird.

Sometimes sounds do come in a dreams and there were a zerg fighting with Champion Oakheart near of that Charr’s sleeping place. Yes, that might even affect having this kind of dreams. Or that Charr’s fellow Sylvari was really in that kind of trouble and send that dream just for calling help from her.

It is fun to climb on that bird’s head and jump down to the pavilion. Just remember to put city clothes on and you dont get killed. Your character looks funny when she/he is falling down all the long way until loading screen comes.
