Thanks for the replies. I did notice on the BLTC it says get both @ £25.99 but doesn’t make it clear enough. Well for me it didn’t.

My main account already has HoT and now my son enjoys playing so he’s using my 2nd account.

Not fixed for me. Whenever I open my inventory it shows the individual bags even tho I keep ticking hide bags. Also the auto loot keeps being unticked as does targeting.

I’d love to have my weapons dyeable.

I want to raid, but I can´t find a group

Don´t have full ascended gear and I´m a scrapper/hammer engi.

No group wants to have you if you are not the right class and don´t have fully ascended gear.

This game is no different than WoW now.

Then level up crafting, make ascended gear, buy trinkets with laurels and adjust your traits once in a while like everyone else…

I have gripes about raids, but finally ascended has content designed around it and we are seeing roles being developed.

Not everyone has thousands of gold to make ascended gear. I’ve just started to make mine for my Revenant but only have 300G on my account. Not sure if that’s enough. I have Necklace and rings but, rest of gear is exotic berserkers.

Atm i’m waiting for all the time gated mats. Hope to have that within the next 26 days. Not sure what stat to make either.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

As Kitten...

On a more serious note, here is the reason they gave: Source

ArenaNet Poster
Kittens are cute. Even the most hardened internet denizen has a soft spot for kittens. :-p

The filter words in the German, French, and Spanish official forums are different.

In German, the word is “Liebsche” (a term of endearment roughly equivalent to ‘honey’)
In French, it is “papillon” (butterfly)
In Spanish, it is “minino” (the more harmless form of the word ‘kitten’ in Spanish)
The goal for these filter words is to diffuse the abrasiveness and take the bite out of posts containing profanity.

Harmless form of kitten :p

I can’t wait for HoT to become live. My new profession will be the ‘Dev’ enant and my 1 skill is the Nerf Bat auto attack which will render all skills in PvE useless.

Arenanet have ALWAYS excessively nerfed certain skills since GW1 prophecies… Why expect anything different. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Arenanet is obsessed with catering to a small but vocal group of “hardcore” players who think that every single XP point should be a 3 hour grueling battle in which you risk permanently losing everything you’ve earned so far in game.

After 1 hour of memtest86 I have 0 errors. After 30 minutes of prime95 64bit my temps on the CPU 49-62C, Voltages +12 = 12.144v, +5 = 5.040v with no fluctuations/spikes

This only seems to happen in GW2 after a random amount of time from 5 to 20 minutes but it happens every time. No error messages no blue screens. In event viewer I only see: kernel-power event id 41.

I can play Farcry 3, Fifa 13, NFS:MW etc for hours with no probs.

What world are you playing on and is it an EU or US world? http://www.speedtest.net/ You could try running this test several times to see if maybe it is a problem not with your internet but on the way to Arenanet’s servers.

I’m playing on the EU ‘Gunnars Hold’ my ping is 35ms, 12.33Mbps down and 1.2Mbps up.

Thanks for the link

I can rule out the config with AV, Firewall because the problem has only started to happen yesterday and I’ve been playing since 3 day head (& beta’s) start without major problems. There isn’t anything wrong with my home network. I don’t think it’s my ISP else I would also lose connection with my teamspeak.

So that leaves routing outside of ISP control and Game Server.

@ Vain: What does specifying my platform have to do with it? My internet is stable. Teamspeak does not disconnect only the game every few minutes which would try the patience of a saint. I needed to chill after a hard days work but I guess I should have gone back to bed.

As the title says. It’s NOT my internet because teamspeak doesn’t disconnect so why do I keep losing my connection to the game literally every few minutes. I can play a max of 10 minutes before a DC and a minimum of a few seconds. I can’t be the only one and I’m sick of logging back in to repair my armour.

Bad players get Good players Nerfed in MMORPGs

in Thief

Posted by: MikeE.8267

MikeE.8267

I’ve said it once, and I’ll continue to say it:

Bad players get Good players Nerfed in MMORPGs

I figure once they nerf out class into the ground, I’ll be onto another game hopefully. Least I enjoyed the long awaited GW2 (and massively delayed) to come to this

Bad players only stay bad, good players started bad and only got better.

A good player will never be nerfed, they’ll take on every challenge thrown at them.

The best baseball player in the world will still strike out if you give him a limp feather instead of a bat.

Ok, thats nice, but no one will hand a baseball player a limp feather.
No one has been handed something that drastic yet in this game. It still works and “good” players will still do good.

BUT!

To retort to your day dream metaphor, that best baseball player still wont complain with a limp feather.
He’ll probably find more feathers to make wings and fly in to the sun.

So what you’re saying is… once thieves are nerfed into the ground we’re going to grow wings and fly into the sun?

No but a Thief will be able to perma tickle you from stealth and you’ll die from laughing. Their armour will also be changed to a jesters outfit

Today I bought some un-ID dyes and managed to get midnight Fuschia (sp)

When I dye my thief hood which has been transmuted many times (I’m level 60 now) it just reverts back to brown instead of midnight fuscia. If I remove the hood to my inventory bags then my game crashes to desktop and a crash dialog box. I can dye my hood to any other colour fine but the one that I want.
