Authenticator problem (expired code??)

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: OnyX.9027

OnyX.9027

the gw2 server is 1 minute out of sync which causes the issue

had this issue a few moments ago and what has been written here is 100% correct

the servers are 1 minute out of sync, if you pu tin the correct code the moment it is given by the authenticator then it says it is incorrect, however wait 1 minute for the code to change and enter the previous code and it works

therefore there is a definite 1 minute desync on gw2 server

my post from another thread about this yesterday

Basically
write down an authenticator code it gives you wait until code expires (takes 1 minute) wait 10 secs then put that code as the authenticator code ( or just time +1 minute before pressing enter with the code) and then gw2 client will accept it

GW2 server fault nothing wrong with authenticator as I used it yesterday in other games with no issue

Non-meta broken builds

in PvP

Posted by: OnyX.9027

OnyX.9027

There are so many things wrong with the current state of PvP. Meta or on-meta. It feels mostly like a battle of cheeses. Bring one cheesy build to the table. Then bring one another to supposedly counter it and on and on. At the end of the day all we have left is a bunch of annoying and broken cheese.

it is quotes like this that make me laugh tbh

use 1 cheesy build to counter another etc… you mean like in nearly EVERY pvp game, it is called counter and if there are certain meta builds then ofc people are going to either use them or use the counter

basically people call cheese on any build that kills them usually, condi thief pops and tries to burst you, guess what you can counter or heal through it and he runs away until cd’s are off, even non-bunkers never really die to single burst of a condi thief as long as they react in reasonable time in a 1v1, however a good condi thief will wait until you are engaged and THEN burst you, this isn’t cheese this is someone using the build the right way as a +1

pvp happens in pvp {o.O] oh noes !

if you wanna do it the cheap way, buy and wear exotic carrion armor/accs/weapons, tune into the guardian burn build and watch everything melt whilst taking near zero damage lol

I use this build http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQRArf8dlsAhyhYpQwZIwPELBE112GBZgVA8Avp82H+nPA-TliAQBxQ/AM2fIBHBAo9AACjSO+dQAAwJAYmKB/k6PiR5QAgDALv8yjP+4RKgFFbB-w

I came back playing after 3 year break and used a viper necro for just about everything (was using dire until I could afford to do ascended armor)

I am probably playing a sub-optimal build with questionable trait choices etc… but I am having a blast with it so who cares (it only open world afterall)

feel free to tear this build apart and tell me how bad it is as I have no idea how to find the “best” builds so go with what I felt was right

Minion Master advice...

2 weeks ago I came back to gw2 after about a 3 year break, bought HoT and played through all living story and HoT with the following build & Equipment

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNArYWnM0Ad1gdbCO1As3gFjBL6nFAOASdgPwGIeHOEPiA-TZRAQBkpMQGOCAd4UAww9HAwDAAA

(was using carrion gear to begin with, just getting the gold together for full vipers set)

tbh it was a faceroll with minions (was quite easy to do the champion HPs too solo) and “rise” is simply delicious

I have no doubt this is not an “optimal” build but I found it very very manageable for solo play ( which is what I do 99% of the time tbh)

Ranger concerns

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: OnyX.9027

OnyX.9027

Ranger is broken, has been broken since the very start of this game and has not been addressed in any real way and yet people expect anything to change after 3 years of kittenbaggery by the “devs”?

also, why do people constantly refer to ArenaNet? this is an NcSoft game
[spoiler]ArenaNet or A-net (if you will) ceased to exist in 2008 as anything other than an NcSoft design/dev team they are used as a catch-bait to foist off the sequel (which is vastly inferior to the original game in every aspect except graphics and the ability to jump) to people.

A-net = dev team, NcSoft = company who own all IP in relation to GW following the purchase of A-net, hell even the original founders of A-net left the ship years ago

for people whom continually refer to A-net on these forums, here is a tip…. Take off the Rose Tinted specs, GW1 and expansions were great (until NcSoft screwed everything with Eye of the North) GW2 is a cash cow to fund other projects and to leech from the brilliance of the GW1 lore and reputation, to add insult to injury the genius’s at NcSoft decided to ditch bringing Blade and Soul to the west so they could peddle their newest IP “Wild Star” since that bellyflopped… lo and behold they bring Blade and Soul to the west 4 years too late ( and continually milk GW2 people in the meantime )[/spoiler]

yes I went off at a tangent,then lol, back on track…

if you are a Ranger you’re screwed, get used to it as they don’t really care whilst the cash keeps flooding in

HoT Price Feedback + Base game included [merged]

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: OnyX.9027

OnyX.9027

this is what happens when a company decides to cash in on a game and knows there are cash cows ripe to be further milked.

The original Guild Wars (no I will not call it GW1 as imo it is the only real Guild Wars and not some generic dime a dozen korean style mmo that is cashing in on a name ( I.E AL2, Cabal2, GW2 etc…)) had 3 expansions Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North

What did those expansions bring? new professions/classes, new areas a slew of new content, elite areas, extended PvP, further skills… the list rolls on for what you would deem an actual EXPANSION!

HoT is basically throwing together stuff that was suggested as far back as the original beta (I was part of the Kore Testing Krewe in beta1 and now not under NDA so who cares what beans are spilled) the ability for each class to have access to each weapon and skill set to go with it, a means of faster travel (i.e mounts/gliders etc…) craftable pre-cursors, scaveneger hunt was mentioned as far back as too and then rehashed a few times in the forums since

so what have NcSoon™ done? thrown all this together, tried to tell you it is a legitimate expansion and then expect the cash cows that have been funding them for years via the “vanity” purchases to be reeled in hook line and sinker yet again

also why does it include GW2 core? simply because then they can quote increased sales and expansion of the userbase of the original GW2 as a marketing tool to prove what a huge playerbase successful game GW2 is (weird really when the game feels mostly deserted and I doubt you will fine more than 10-15% of any guild playing regularly)

GW2 is only successful in trading on the name of what was a vastly superior game, that A-net made (I stress Arena-net as it NO LONGER exists and hasn’t been more than an in-house production team since 2008 (even though it was bought and used as a seperate entity since 2002 until eventually absorbed by NcSoft)), NcSoft buggered this until it produced this kitten child as a means to milk the cash cows and milk you they have and are continuing to do

Feel free to enjoy the game if you wish, if you like the game then good on you, but maybe take the rose-tinted specs off and have a hard look at some blunt truths and you will realise for all that ppl whine about P2W etc… there is a far more sinister element at work here, it is called preying on vanity and they do this week in and week out and moo moo MOOOO the cash cows come a herding to lap up them gemstore goodies

Nexon vs NCSoft 2015

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: OnyX.9027

OnyX.9027

I think Anet also has a loophole in their contract that allows them to buy the company out of NCsoft if they want to, and they own the rights to all the IPs related to GW2.

I think GW2 is safe and I couldn’t care less about the rest of NCsoft’s portfolio.

sorry buy LOL

ArenaNet or A-net if you will ceased to exist in 2008 as anything other than an NcSoft deisgn team

they have no loophole to buy anything as they do not exist, A-net = dev team, NcSoft = company who own all IP in relation to GW following the purchase of A-net, hell even the original founders of A-net left the ship years ago

I love how people continually refer to A-net is posts on these forums, here is a tip…. Take off the Rose Tinted specs!

as for the poster saying @ 15.8% shareholding Nexon have no power and no say in the running of NcSoft…. OMG! seriously, whilst they do not have controlling interested they have an extremely strong position in relation to share holding and the right to challenge board room level decisions

For all that Nexon are idd known as a P2W company, ask yourself a question, what did you (en-masse) get out of all the $’s you poured into the gem shop other than vanity stuff?

That isn’t P2W it is simply PAY

as for BnS and Wildstar… amy company is going to push and funnel everything into their IP rather than publish a 3rd party dev game, just a shame when BnS is one of the truly beautiful games to play ( not without it’s faults) whereas Wildstar was fairly crap in every department (this is what you get when you develop purely with a purported “western” audience in mind)

How to improve GW2?

actually make it like a GW game rather than “insert generic MMO with nice gfx and no end game here”

GW1 and expansions are far superior to GW2 in terms of pve, pvp, gvg etc… the ONLY thing GW2 has over GW1 is the gfx.

Game Updates: Traits

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: OnyX.9027

OnyX.9027

lol I don’t know why people expect anything different.

NcSoft have never and will never change, they address what they want to address (usually anything that results in more money from the cash cows buying pointless crap from the store… moo moo MMOOOOO) and ignore everything else (ignore by saying "we are looking at this and will respond Soon™ "
(unless it is an in -game farm which could affect incoming gold thus impact on not getting enough money from the gem store, then you can guarantee near immediate action and nerf)

Their current IP Wildstar is flopping and dying at a phenomenal rate, GW2 is being treated exactly as it has been for the past 2 years which is a nice way to fund other projects, they are working on a MOBA in a market that is already over-saturated and they missed to boat on releasing Blade and Soul (the 1 game that western mmo players actually wanted to play) I quote “Currently in development for the West” that message on site since December 2012 lmfao

So what is left for NcSoon™ ?

Maybe it is time to stop churning out mediocre crap and actually put effort into 1 decent title and actually manage it properly rather than letting your CM’s just trot out the usual platitudes?

OnyX.9027

I came back to gw2 after a break of around a year and I have to admit I wanted to start a new char just to go through the world again, 1 day in and I have come to the conclusion that NcSoft (call them a-net if you want, it is not arena-net any more and hasn’t been for years) still seem to be making awful decisions and trying to funnel player through content rather than letting them make their own choices.

The new levelling system is pretty awful and the complete x,y,z to unlock traits is even worse! (unless you just want to amass 360 skill points and blow them along with 45 gold to get your traits ofc which given the lack of farming or gold making opportunities, this points you towards buying gems) the plot thickens!

there are some things to still enjoy in the game I guess if you are a new player but returning to see that little has changed other than the previous funnelled content ( fractals or the same dungeons from 2+ years ago) or just zerging around in WvW, basically same game, minor changes and a shame they never done more than ram LS down everyones throats

All they had to do was look at GW1, look at what they did there as a model and do things in a similar light with regard to content, expansions/campaigns.

(FYI Living Story has the immersion and depth of a 5ml puddle) LS was advised as a bad idea over a year ago and yet you have continually cranked it out when the majority simply do not care (as each release lasts an hour, 2 if you break for coffee and toast)

Personally I would swap (in a heartbeat) WvW/tpvp etc… for GvG, HA (hell even AB for the lolz of… wait a sec that was WvW it it’s earliest form of zerg ftw)

Urgoz, The Deep, Fissure of Woe, Underworld, Tomb of Primeval and Sorrows Furnace were simply fantastic and there is nothing even remotely similar in GW2 (a.k, the Elite Missions)

hell just give me GW1 with GW2 gfx, maps & legendaries (I would also take gw1 torment weapon skin over the gw2 travesty!) build in some of that GW1 goodness mentioned above and ladies and gents we got a winner!

SAB: Moto Vendor

OnyX.9027

As much as people demand SAB I seriously do not understand why it isn’t part of the game, as an offering of “something else to do” if nothing else. I am no big SAB fan, I barely did any of it, but content is content and I just don’t get why it can’t be added as an Asura portal from LA or something.

brilliant post as it sums up the SAB issue imo

there does NOT need to be any specific reason for having it, it should just be an active part of the game at all times in Rata Sum, you know for people to have fun, not be funnelled into whatever content the devs have deemed as allowed to be fun.

Breaking the ice (exploit)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: OnyX.9027

OnyX.9027

personally I love these threads.

Farmers want to farm, but get called, toxic, exploiters, griefers etc… for wanting to do so

Non-farmers want to finish the event and get called idiots, Griefers, QQ’ers etc… for wanting to do so

BUT!

it makes no difference what is said in these threads, why?

Because A-Net will always nerf the farm (quoting:: unintended use of a mechanic, “exploiting” an event, etc…)

The only thing I would ask is do people think the “nerf” is for the “good of the community/game” or is it because it impacts on the gem store (a.k.a Cash Cow?))

I personally find it strange that they react unbelievably fast to any farm but ignore existing bugs (some of which have been in game since beta) so my felling is that it is with the latter reason in mind they proceed to nerf.

However, I leave it to each person to put their own definition in place.

I think a lot of people here hit the nail on the head. The problem being is that it is more profitable to fail than succeed. This should not be the case.

BINGO!

This guy gets the situation in 1 post

People would farm events by succeeding IF the reward was better than it is to fail the event

time/effort vs reward is always going to be the playstyle of most people in an MMO who want to get what they perceive of as the best of items/goods/loot

yes this doesn’t interest others, but farmers will always look to the min/max scenario and a-net only ever seems to hurriedly fix anything that involves farming (yet you see other bugs still present after 2 years :/ )

OnyX.9027

just came back after a year and I see nothing much changed with A-net’s stance on anything that involves FARMING

call it a bug, call it an exploit, what it REALLY is, is a challenge to A-nets sell gems for gold game core

The same thing happened to a number of farms last year ( one of the more well known ones was south of Pearl Inlet in Southsun cove where groups of people were farming mobs a,long the beach, the after a few topics whining in the forum about people “DARING” to play the game the way they wish (i.e farming for the things they want to buy) it was announced by A-net that there was in fact a “BUG” and mobs were re-spawning too quickly (didn’t seem any quicker than any other mob btw)

So I have been playing a week or so after a year break to see that the same thing is happening all over again, groups of people have found a “farm” that they can co-operate in, some people go care-bear to forums and A-net announce that it is a “unintended game mechanic” and are going to nerf it

When will a-net and the care-bears be happy??? when everyone is wandering around with nothing to do other than funneled content (i.e the boredom of fractals) or being forced to run Zerk Warrior to be able to get a PuG group to do anything?

I thought that things may have changed for the better in the time I have been away, looks like it the same thing just a year later.

Condition pve build?

Posted by: OnyX.9027

OnyX.9027

You can run whatever, but you’re being detrimental to your party. Even more than a berserker necro. It’ll be far from “decently effective”, though. The best (= less worse) build is the one lily put above.

^ is a sad but true fact ( and represents the majority of ppl running in a PuG for dungeons)

a-net are to blame in a way as any “elitist” group will ONLY ever want to take FOTM class (primarily zerk warrior or gtfo) so anything else is simply sub-par in the eyes of these groups or as the guy above states “detrimental to the group”

why are a-net to blame? because the very core of the game simply works on the basis of Direct Damage > everything, therefore as a necro you bring nothing to the table due to sub-par Direct Damage

The sad thing is that I have been away from the game for a year and in that time sure there have been trait changes, games changes etc… but one constant remains… Necro is STILL in a horrible place

This is what comes from throwing out non-stop content after content after content (and the subsequent bugs patches that ensue for the following weeks)

Surely at some point they need to think that people are no longer being distracted by shiny crap and actually sort out the basic problems in game instead? still too many exploits, skills that are broken or useless, traits that need re-thinking… the list goes on but instead they throw non-stop content at the playerbase in the hope of distraction (ofc they also restock the gem store with more and more useless crap too for the IRL money grindfest)

The other problem with this new content is that it is steamrolled in a few hours and then people say “that’s it???”

There doesn’t seem to be much thought going into the new content other than the umbrella of “living story” that (and let’s be honest) no one gives a crap about, hell people don’t even give a toss about personal story as it is pointless cut-scene waffle with little reward vs huge time invested and there is NO sense of lore behind it really, no sense of achievement at the end or that you “understand” your character any better.

imho the only thing that is really really needed to be said at present is…

Stop the content for a while and FIX THE GAME!

It isn’t your rig, regardless of all the waffle above I can guarantee it isn’t your rig.

What it is, pure and simple, is a badly optimized, poorly designed, CPU intensive engine

Read this to get an idea what this means:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Will-the-fps-be-fixed

The simple truth is that this game is made to run on every rig possible and in doing so anyone using a high end system will actually be the worse for it as the engine is designed to run CPU over GPU, so if you are running 7970 or equivalent your gfx card will barely be ticking over whilst your CPU is having heart attack trying to process on 1 of it’s multi-cores

The engine needs to be optimised to run GPU heavy rather than GPU light a welcome addition would also be 64bit client but they do not even discuss optimization nevermind extended clients

Our goal is to have fun, and enjoy the community as we complete all the content Guild Wars 2 has to offer and most especially push forward in WvW in small teams roaming capping and generally be a pain in the butt for the enemy.

Who are we?
[DxM] members have been playing MMORPGs for years, from Lineage2 to Aion, even WoW and FFXIV (oh god i said 2 games that should never be named ) During these times we have realized that the factor which encouraged us to play, and made the games infinitely more enjoyable, was the community.

So in Guild Wars 2 our No.1 priority is having fun with the community, whilst we complete all the PvE, WvW content Guild Wars 2 has to offer.

Guild Restrictions
We only accept people of 16+ but we are open to all nationalities; our only request is that you act maturely.
DxM primary language is English in guild and map chat, party or whisper is your own choice.

Website features

Guild Structure
We don’t have a guild leader per-se, we have a council so the workload is spread around.

General Council
Ony X
Klaev
Akicita
Wouter
Lord Rahl


TL;DR
If you are looking for a friendly, chilled out, no pressure guild with 20+ active players online daily, somewhere to hang out without the pressures of “MUST DO GUILD STUFF!”, want to PvE, want to dip your toes into WVW (or even spend all day in either) then feel free to submit an application at our site

The application process isn’t a 5,000 word essay, it is basically an intro, a snapshot to see if you fit us and to see if we fit you, if you are looking for a hardcore 24hr a day rampaging zerg guild… it ain’t us

We play, we have a laugh, you are free to do your own thing or join whoever is doing whatever in the guild, we would like more ppl that WvW though so we can annoy those red names even more!

WvW AoE Conditions

http://en.gw2codex.com/build/21326-wvw-aoe-condition-necro

The traits I chose are unbugged, a lot of necro traits are still bugged and don’t work as they are supposed to (like the closer to death trait, longer spectral skills etc…) every trait chosen here works solidly and a quick tip you can also drop your traits to 20/20 and put the 10 into blood magic if you are running dagger/dagger for Blood Magic 1 so immobilize (dark pact) comes around quicker

I run this with a full carrion set as hybrid of Condition Dmg + power + Vit is optimal in WvWvW (you carry enough toughness from trait line for dmg mitigation) you can (and I have) ran through 30-40 of the enemy to help defend a keep and still been alive without using Death Shroud (but it is still there to save your kitten if needed )

you also get a lot of lootbags but tbh who really cares about loot it’s only real use from a bag is to sell to pay for repairs to your gear, if you are playing WvW for market profit then you are in the wrong part of town xD grind orr instead

What they should do is get rid of repair costs in WvW altogether as they make no sense at all

Necros, for the most part, don’t do enough damage to earn a loot bag.

/snip

I would say to all necro’s read this line, read it again then re-read it and then completely disregard it!!!!

As a necro I get a regular 15-30 badges in W3 and I only play for around 2 hours max (due to work, family etc… I have limited time to enjoy the game atm )

lets start by waking people up to 1 fact…

Necro is NOT a burst class… in fact lets repeat this to make it completely clear…

Necro is NOT a burst class

We are an attrition class that can put out crazy mass AoE conditions assuming you play smart, you can actually pretty much insta-gib ppl with a well placed Corrupt Boon and then followed up with Epidemic you will see groups melt, it doesn’t happen often but when it does… at that point… you will see the joy of playing a Necro xD

We don’t have warrior’s kill shot, elementalist style escape from everything, thief’s cloak and burst and then run when something doesn’t die, guardians incredibly bunker playstyle but we are and remain a solid mid/backline class that excels at pressure when played right.

If you want silly OP 1 shot skills or crazy burst then you shouldn’t be playing a necro plain and simple.

Their are loads of different builds out there I use http://en.gw2codex.com/build/21326-wvw-aoe-condition-necro at present as it is a solid all-rounder for WvW but remember your job is to put pressure on groups you are not Rambo/Leeroooooooy or <insert fictional OP char here> (or Chuck Norris)

Accept that you are a back/midline class, accept that your job is pressure pressure PRESSURE, accept you have great survivability but you are not godlike but most of all Accept 1 fact above all others…

Necro is NOT a burst class

Once you come to terms with that you may adapt your playstyle and actually enjoy the beauty of the necro (and remember we are underpowered still, there are a good number of changes needed so what will we become when/if Anet get their act together and resolve all the issues with necro and make all our weapons viable, lower our stupidly long cast times and rebalance our traits a bit better)

Necro’s have a way to go but they are still deadly when played right and are definitely a royal pain in the butt in most WvW situations as we love zergs to play against
