Guild Wars 2

Lil Puppy.5216:

knockback is something you use when SOLO, not in groups (dungeons/pvp excluded), it is a strategic skill to keep you from DYING and give you some escape distance.

I would give ANYTHING for Anet to remove knockback, blowback, and long duration fear from the player portion of the game and give us more meta interrupts that don’t change the position of the enemies.

I do not agree at all with this (well apart from the long duration fear perhaps).
Knockback is not a skill that is only needed in solo or keeps a ranger from dying. It a skill that should not be used just random and has its strategic uses, there is a difference there.
Its all about positioning of the ranger and in the case of a group where the rest is, what direction a enemy is moving, and who is pulling aggro.
It definately has its uses, also in a group.
I do agree that its often misused and that perphaps some form of tutorial would help. That said, i also see other skills not always used correctly, but its just more obvious and annoying to other players with ‘knockback’ skills. And its not just the ranger.

Having the same issue as well, again i might add. Over the last few months i had to raise three or four tickets on this. Just now i wanted to purchase some gems and i got this issue again. To be honest i am not even going to bother raising a ticket anymore. I am just not going to buy gems anymore, easiest solution.

Same problem here.
Anet, you guys are doing some nice stuff with GW, but you do need to step up your game a bit. Because in the last 2-3 days i came across a number of bugs, including this, which really start to ‘bug’ me. For me there is this one, Flame dye’s bought that do not give flame but regular dye and as a result a not satisfying answer from your support, Trade not working and then a number of other issues. This is starting to affect my enjoyment of the game. And its already at a point now that i will no longer support the game by buying gems with actual money.

EU player and i have the same issue as well.
Noticed it when i wanted to buy some gems for some of the sales. Ah well, thats not going to happen now anymore with the sale ending soon.

Not to high jack your thread but i am having the same issues with purchases. In my case it’s with two of those mystery wintersday box’s.
The 100 gems each where taken from my total but i have not received them.
Is there some issue with the mail server as someone in my guild had send me something and i have not received that either. Neither did she get a mail i send her.

Right….. feel free to laugh, i was not aware there was a 10 email limit from persons. Deleted a couple of mails and that solved the problem for me.
