Guild Wars 2

I would feel more of a need for this is the gear wasn’t so 1 dimensional.

inspecting people to make sure their gear is up to par is one thing. However, when it comes to gearing yourself there isn’t much up for debate.. I don’t feel there is enough variation at this point for an inspect to be necessary as far as knowing what gear you should have.

I’ve heard people talk about disconnection issues when speaking of FOTM etc. I myself have never had a problem with disconnecting. However, tonight I have DC’d 4 times in the last hour. What’s the deal? Prior to this most recent update I had not dc’d even once from guild wars 2. EVER. (aside from idle time limits)

Congratulations Arena Net! Keep up the good work everyone.

Hi Marysvillain,

Regarding your question about account security, the best way is to have a strong password (also, unique if possible so it isnt shared with any other program you might have) and to use the mail and mobile authenticators.

Thanks

what if you don’t have a smartphone are you still able to get an authenticator?

Wouldn’t it be wise to add a security question or something to the password recovery page? If someone had hacked my account once already then they should have access to most of the information on that password recovery page. Email, Character name, and if you have the digital edition, the serial code is probably in your email too.

Thank you all for your feedback I appreciate it and look forward to hearing more on this matter.

And really, I’m not going to read 8 pages of arguements.. I understand why they do it, as many other MMO’s have.. The arguement that other exclusive items that are not available to players who buy the game now and receive the wizard hat seems invalid to me. It is not as if they did not have the opportunity to pre-order the game just like the rest of us did and obtain those items with no inconvenience to them.

I pre-ordered this game, and have a decent amount of time invested into my roster of characters. There are 2 problems/inconveniences that come with me obtaining the wizard hat being an Already-owner.

1. I have to buy what I already have.
2. Even if I wanted to spend 60dollars on a wizard hat, I could not have it where all my characters are.

you might even go as far to argue that because of #2 I would have to relevel an account to have the wizard hat. But I mean honestly, without some sort of “Inspect” feature which would allow you to see what other players wear.. what is the point?

ive been looking for the stats on this hat like all day… does it do anything besides look cool? If not, I could care less.

I’ve seen the talk of Disconnection issues and not being able to rejoin I was just curious if there was more to it than this.

I really never dc but I can see how this could be lame for your party if you lose 1,2,3 players doing end game content.

What is it about fractals that has driven so many players from this game?

I am posting on behalf of a friend of mine with the following:

I don’t imagine that A.N. would have any sort of rollback for this sort of thing?

Even if not, I really just want to know what should be done to best protect the account from being recovered and/or stolen again?

Why not just have both have more open and and dungeons there is room for both. The big problem with open is getting a tag (putting high enofe dmg on the mob) on a mob this is the same problem in many pure open world games such as FF11 where tagging or calming a mob was EVERYTHING in that game.

Are you saying you like dungeons better in GW2?

As far as having more of both, yes please! As long as the massive new content additions we’re hearing about are well done then I’ll feel better about this game.

By the way, I bought this game for the PvP and was pleasantly surprised (initially) about how much fun the PvE has been in GW2. I gotta say I am more pleased with the open world PvE though.

I do like dungeons to a point because its more about communication then a rush and out put massive dmg. Not to say i dislike open events it give you time to talk to new ppl but i must say ppl abused these open events as a “free” way to farm and they tend not to like talking much and play very bot like.

Found this from ff11 i remember camping this guy the time put into this lol and offten not getting claim.
Behold open world at its worst.

lol KB huh. So many kills, so little rings ; ;

You remember MPKing @ Faf? Lol. oh man good times.

I just want to say I love the open world gameplay. I love the whole mystery of whats gonna be back down this cave and this unexplored piece of map. etcetc. The first time I snagged a particular vista in Brisban Wildlands on this waterfall, I stayed up there to look around a bit. It was pretty good view, then something caught my eye below me. Some champion toad just right there! it took about 3 deaths before some reinforcements arrived but we took her down! One of the best experiences I’ve had on this game.

I haven’t done many dungeons. I do love games and events that make u battle through hoardes of trash mobs with the occassional tougher baddy until you reach a cutscene, where a tremendous baddy 30x the size of you comes thrashing through the ground and at that moment, you know you’re in for a fight. I love the strategy, the long fight, the knowing that a single action or lack there of could mean the difference between you and your adventuring acquaintances slaying the beast or being its dinner. The communication in hectic battles like this is awesome. I have played through casual trash mob fights with friends on team speak, and we are all usually joking or chatting just relaxed. But when that end game boss is up and you know it’s going to be a run for your money the gloves come off the game face goes on and everyone gets down to business. I LOVE END GAME LIKE THIS^

Ya the server population is much more spread out now in comparison to back in august. It could be the amount of active players, but on the other hand it could just be most people are playing at higher levels than me now. Certain events definitely are not going to be doable at the rate that I have encountered people in zones though.

I just started leveling Elementalist and went up against the Sinister Triad in Brisban Wildlands earlier duo with an engineer. It was a hell of a fight let me tell you… That ebon guard tanky sylvari. Ya “Tanks” is right.

The economy is no more beneficial to me or you by someone else cheating to get rich if you really think about it..

0 people botting: Mats @ 10s per.
1,000,000 people botting: Mats @ 1s per.

If you are actively playing this game, and not just power leveling your characters, then regardless what the price of mats are, you will be able to afford them the same way, either way. You buy the mats for cheaper but you will also be selling mats you don’t need for cheaper too. It all pretty much balances out. As a legit player, the market fluctuates for me, but my checkbook will stay balanced regardless (with time). The only difference I see here is the people botting are getting rich for cheating. While I’m grinding/farming away to EARN what I have.

Ever since we first started using in game mail we have always sent to char names. Are you suggesting then to send to my marysvillain tag instead of my char name?

Oops just re-read it. Ya we have always sent mail based on char name not account name

I can send my friend mail, he can receive mail from me. He cannot however send me mail. I’m not sure why this is? To my knowledge I have not blocked him or anything? We were able to send each other stuff to begin with, it seems around the time I added him to my friends list or contact list he was unable to send me stuff anymore. Any ideas?
