Guild Wars 2

Hi JS,

Q: Why are stuff account/soul bound?

Haha, i see… but then again, isn’t it time? 2 years!!!

We have a good supply of Watchwork sprockets. And all the products made with them are also in a good value balance. (balance, not price)

Isn’t it about time that the emissaries are brought back in?
Or atleast an NPC who sells all the sprockets recipes, Perplexity/Bursting/Renwal… etc.

What say?

Yes (Two Slots)

And so, ANet will close the chapter on this thread, (ignoring other items that needs ironing out) and will remain in GW2 history of “When vets retaliate” case study.

We understand the last statement which was a sublime way of saying, conditions apply.
But remember this case study for future pricing options. And weigh in all prospects and permutations and combinations before making a decision on Price.

But who am i kidding, this post will go on~~~ (i suppose)

I’d have been happy with something like this.

GW2: Core Game($xx), Digital Deluxe ($xx)
HoT: Standard($xx), Deluxe($xx), Ultimate ($xx)

Limited time offer, HoT now includes Core Game -OR- Core game now includes HoT.
Upgrade to DD edition through gemstore (still available)

Even if now, we have Ultimate @$100, i’d still buy it. so long as i see that i can still buy Core Game option. And the availability of DD is also an option. Any of the character slots (or not) can be figured out inside the HoT packs.

Thanks for helping out

Thanks for taking the time to reply,

@Ayakaru: Haha, i guess thats a possibility, but then again. Maybe they get paid by the hour?

@ChoChoBo: PvP/PvE/WvW aside, When someone says, i have critically damaged someone, its not merely 200% of what you normally do. It is something that penetrates some sort of protection you have.

Simply looking at numbers is not what i would want to see. i’m not talking about a certain ‘numerical value’. Nor did I make the post because i’m unsatisfied with certain number tally. I’m more at a loss due to the sheer boredom of mechanics.

But i understand what you’re stating. And Yes, It is something that most characters have as an ability. And possibly everyone would rage on this. But if they spend even a minute on this, anyone would love it.

For eg. Yes, Thieves should be able to do more criticals (not damage, critical chance) than a guardian. Because a thief is trained in that art. It makes sense that way. And an Ele should be able to cast BIG BANG BOOM BOOM damage, WITHOUT critical. (Might stacking ability)

The critical mechanics in gw2 makes it such that, two stats Precision + Ferocity is dedicated to the said damage. How about what I had originally stated, with Precision dealing pierced damage and Ferocity starts at pierced 100% + x% damage? (not 150% + x%)

That way suddenly all the other stats have value.

No, I do not mean, that the attributes associated with the armour is removed. I mean just the ‘Defense’ attribute. I don’t mean that fighting armoured class is tough in PvP, i’m more interested to note that Armoured classes are weak against defense pierce.

And consequently, Critical damage is useless against light armoured class, cos you do the same damage either way. But now suddenly the value of Ferocity has increased.

This way, people would find value in Toughness. cos now, toughness is an attribute that reduces damage either way. Its part of the character.

What you specified about armour stats going numb if the armour is broken is a great mechanic that can be used in gw2. Although not currently setup. But breaking armour and criticals are entirely different and not in the scope of this post.

Lastly, Condition damage in PvE is flawed. 25 stacks and it gets replaced with someone else’s condition damage. Poison and other single stack ones gets replaced instantly. There is no real scenario to use this as a viable alternative to berserker in PvE (unless you solo). On the OTHER hand. an Ele with Damage + Condition would be perfect. that sounds just right, not critical, but pure damage.

Thanks again
Rodnix

PS: Value here is NOT a numerical figure, value here is, “Worth in usefulness or importance to the possessor; utility or merit.”

Hello all,

I was just wondering why critical is something that simply boosts overall damage and does not pierce defense?

Basically our current mechanics,
critical = 150% of your normal damage.
ferocity = +x% to your critical damage.
I mean i get it. it increases damage.

But, the whole reason all the nerfs keep coming back (Might) is due to this.

Why can’t critical be something that removes defense?
Armour = defense + toughness
so a critical strike makes,
Armour = defense + Toughness

This way, the value for toughness is increased. And the damage you deal an ele and warrior would be the same if it is critical.

Just wondering why?

Cheers
Rodnix

That’s not a bad idea at all.

First cast takes 25 stacks
Second cast takes 20 stacks
Third cast takes 15 stacks. (retains 15 stacks for further casts)
Until down.

English is not my friend’s native language. And there are places where he did not understand the mail.

He’s even going to buy a new account to just be with us. Support thinks that he’s an impostor. There are lots of people waiting for him to come back.

Someone opened his account and later pretended to be him and blocked a lot of us.
He later contacted us about the hacking and we told him to change email password and other procedures. But it was difficult for him to understand the email because difficult english was used. only when it was forwarded to us and then replied, did he understand what happened.

Its been 3 days since its under investigation, and multiple tickets were raised. Which caused the delay. It would be great if others were ignored and this single ticket is taken up.

Thanks. From our guild

I have raised a ticket and I have a feedback from support,
I have yet to try out all that was told in the ticket.

I will revert back once i’ve tried it.

EDIT:
The ticket solution worked.
Thank you Support team.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Technical Support regarding this issue. The problem you are having may be due to out dated graphics drivers on your computer. Please make sure that you have the latest video card drivers from your video card manufacturer (AMD, Nvidia, Intel). The websites in the links provided below have an auto-detect feature which will detect your graphics card and operating system and will locate the most recent driver for you.

AMD autodetect: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx

If these links do not work, or you are on a laptop, you may need to contact your computer’s manufacturer as they may have put proprietary drivers on your computer that you will have to receive through them.

Also, we have noted that a change to the command line has resolved this type of issue for some players.

We’d like you to try the following:

Please go to your Guild Wars 2 shortcut and right click it, then choose “Properties.”
In the line that says “Target,” add a space at the end of the target line and then add the following: –prefreset (with the dash)
Your target line then should look something like this:
“C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” –prefreset
Click “Apply” and then “OK.”
Once you have completed the steps above, try launching the game and logging into the character with which you’ve been having issues. If this resolves the issue, go back into your shortcut and remove the–prefreset string from the target line.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,

Tim

The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. This is most commonly caused by firewall or router settings, security… 42:0:9001:4347:101

I am unable to play pvp games through the game browser.
The entire list is blanked out.

The error list pops up when i open the game browser in pvp.
Also, the chat in the game is very slow. But the game is smooth.

Does anyone have a way to get this working?

Regards
Rodnix

I guess, this is a problem for a lot of people… I’m unable to get into a party and i’m offline in the guild.
