Setting it up at this moment. Got any tips?

Does anyone have experience with TS3 plugin – TeamSpeak 3 Overlay (ts3overlay API 20)? And is it okay to use? It came with a warning that some games may ban their players for using it, so I wonder if anyone has any experience with it.

I know about Overwolf, but I wonder whether this plugin is allowed as a replacement of Overwolf that has been problematic for me for months now.

One of our recent events: http://www.zapped.eu/valentine-competition-results/
The winners received 1400 gems each!

In a need of gems? We happen to be giving out 2×1400 right now! http://www.zapped.eu/

Twisted Inventors of Tyria [ZAP] is a friendly and social guild focused on PvE and PvP.

The Zapsters are mostly Europeans and Americans, but our numbers are strong or growing in all timezones! A part of our playerbase active during non-peak got recently retired from the game due to real life, this resulted in a smaller family-like and welcoming community playing during non-peak hours. And with your help we will grow.

That sounds really cool and I’d love to come, but I am not available this Sunday. Are you planning to run this the next Sunday as well?

Hi there!
Can I ask if I could be still added to the list? I’d love to get some art from you, it’s beautiful. ^^
I see it’s all humans or humanoid characters, do you commission Asuran characters as well? And do you think it’s worth it? Wouldn’t they be too small?

The Havoc’s Heir and Captain’s Airship pass were added when LA was destroyed so it didn’t link there. But LA is back now so please let us fly there.

Our guild members were separated during Guild Missions because of Megaserver, we were separated into two instances of one map several times today during Guild Missions.

We had about 40 people doing the missions and finding out who got into different map than the rest was tricky at first because they didn’t get any Overflow notification. They were just put into different map.

It happened in these maps:

• Fields of Ruin
• Diessa Plateau
• Snowden drifts (I know it’s not included here, but people got thrown into different map without any overflow message)
• Dredgehaunt Cliffs

Could people from the same guild (if representing) be put into same map over any other priority please?

Please make Guild Missions limited once per month and not per week. Scale up the rewards accordingly, also the influence and time needed to build them.

Atm missions are a boring routine, every week the same. It’s getting insanely boring and repetitive after about 9 months of doing them every single week.

The problem is people are being toxic in a starter area for the most common race.
New players get impression this is what GW2 is about.

I’m recalling on this thread on reddit and comments under it.
It’s alarming what environment this train creates. And the majority of new player is introduced to it. It’s horrible. And also discourages new players from staying in the game.

Please, double or triple the respawn times of the farmed champions/events in Queensdale to purge the environment in this map.

Read the post on reddit please.

LittleLepton.8915:

However, I’d like to point out that I really really like your idea in that it provides an incentive to do all fractals

Exactly my thoughts when I was making it.

Iris Ng.9845:

I mostly avoid fractals now, because they are time consuming, especially in a bad pug group.

The second main reason of this idea. You can just go in for any fractal and then go do something else. One fractal a day if you want it that way. If you see your friends online, you can go do Dredge at scale 49 or 50 and get 5 or 6 dredge tokens AND gold and regular rewards you get from CoF or AC as they dredge are harder than many dungeons atm.

I got this idea a few days ago and I thought I would share. It’s just a thought I had and I’m aware of some disadvantages that would have to be addressed.

I’m sorry if it’s in wrong section, I couldn’t find any better after Suggestion subforum was removed.

Let me explain how it would work:

• Remove Pristine Relics. Add fractal tokens – a specific token to each fractal rewarded after completing it. (Similar to DoA from GW1)
• Add Mistlock Token that is traded for 1 set of fractal tokens. (1 Mistlock = 15 different fractal tokens)
• Fractals no longer come in a set of 4. After you choose difficulty scale and enter FotM, you choose a fractal you want to complete instead of the ready to go window. After completing the fractal you’re taken back to Mistlock. The party either disbands or continues to next fractal depending on the people.
• You receive 1 fractal token at scale 1-9, 2 tokens at scale 10-19, 3 tokens at scale 20-29, 4 tokens at 30-39, 5 tokens at 40-49, and so on…
• There would be chance to receive a fractal skin, ascended ring or ascended box after completing each fractal, but lower than now.
• Gold and all rewards that are now rewarded after 4th fractal would be decreased and rewarded after every fractal. The harder the fractal is the better reward.
• Vendors in Mistlock Observatory will trade Mistlock tokens for (the prices are just an example):
  • Ascended Rings = 1 token
  • Ascended Rings (Infused) = 2 tokens
  • Ascended Boxes (Random) Receive a random Ascended Armor or Weapon Box = 5 tokens (random stats, you still choose which weapon/armor piece you want)
  • Fractal skin boxes (Random) – Receive a random Fractal Weapon skin after opening. = 6 tokens
  • Ascended Weapon Boxes – Choose the stats and item = 15 tokens
  • Ascended Armor Boxes – Choose the stats and item = 15 tokens
  • Fractal skin boxes – Choose a Fractal Weapon skin = 15 tokens

Advantages I can think of:

• No more RNG. A clear goal with very visible progression.
• Decreased time required for a fractal run.
• Bonus achievements are easier to get.

Disadvantages I can think of:

• Harder to get party for the particular fractal you need tokens from.
• Rings would require more effort to get, because they are way too easy to get now. (Could be a problem for people starting with fractals)

Any thoughts about this? Too complicated? Would anyone else appreciate this chance?

Excelsior!
I’d like to participate!

John Corpening.9847:

Hey Guys,

A week ago we were ready to cut ranks. Last week, due to our discussion on the CDI thread, we decided to keep them.

Right now we are trying to determine in what form we are going to keep ranks and how they should be balanced so attaining the rank of dragon is something that you have a reasonable chance of achieving and not a quest that you pass on to your children and your children’s children.

Because we agree with most of you that ranks are too difficult to attain and because it was a very easy change for us we also decided to give players a bonus to players in Solo and Team Arenas.

I’m sorry you didn’t get a response sooner but we didn’t want to jump the gun and say yes or no to this thread. What you are asking isn’t something that we can just turn on so it would have to come in a build later if we decide to do it. At the moment we don’t have a plan to retroactively award points for wins but many of you have brought up some interesting reasons for it so it is something we will take into consideration when we are discussing how to adjust ranks.

Thanks again for your feedback.

John

Definitely yes, please reward people the rank points retroactively, but not all at once.
The WvW bonus chests system is actually very smart and it would fit here as well.
For each arena win, reward the player with (almost) double points. (Current reward + Current Reward – Already rewarded old reward)

Excelsior everyone!
I have a simple question about this special offer.
If I redeem a 2,000 gem card this week and then another 2,000 gem card on 24th, does it still count and will I get a mini Mr. Sparkles in January?

I think I understood yes from the poster, but I want to be sure to not lose it because I didn’t wait 2 weeks to redeem a code…

Thanks in advance!

Heya everyone,
I use the online achievement leaderboards to track player activity in my guild. The leaderboards have always been laggy, I had t visit to page several times of day, because they didn’t work mostly, but since the Fractured release they have been broken for me entirely. They either don’t load at all or get stuck while trying to display guild list.

I’m European on American server. When I try to display the same for European guilds everything works fine.

Could someone help me?
Thanks in advance

In July this year we were looking ahead with Colin Johanson at what would come in 2013.
This year is concluding soon and there will only be 2 more Living World updates before 2014.

As I went through the list above, almost everything has been implemented as promised. (Good job Anet!)
There is 1 month left and I’m wondering – shall we really get new Legendary skins and types or will this 1 item on the to-do list remain unchecked?

Jumping, Swimming and Dodging, were one of the great differences between GW1 and GW2. Removing any them would hurt the game badly.
Why do you hate the ability to jump Erebus? Are you annoyed with Jumping Puzzles?

Also

Jumping only causes people to find new ways to skip things that are not meant to be skipped and thus needs to be disabled.

^This is not true. People exploit leap skills, teleports, portals and consumables. Not jumping. And Anet is doing good job closing these exploits.

Excelsior!

I was wondering if it was even possible to add new skills, just 1 or 2, for each of these personalities. I don’t ever really have the feeling like this charm-dignity-ferocity thing does something, that it matters. One simple skill based on your personality sounds just great to me!

Also, what do you think about cross-racial skills only available for some races. For example both Sylvari and Asura would share some skills gained from the place they were born and grew up in – Maguuma Jungle.

Hahaha! Kinda funny that the entire f/u path in TA is going to be removed tomorrow. =P
It will make Vevina fight not accessible any more. =P

I agree and it’s not just conditions, but also critical damage. All your precision, crit chance and crit damage are nothing.

Naloj and Eivene, thank you for your answers. This is kind of what I wanted to hear.

Eivene.9127:

First of all, one of the last updates changed the way the red circles look and made them more distinct to try and alleviate this issue. They have a very jittery, aggressive edge now. Has he tried it since and is he still having difficulties?

Yes, he still has big problems. Also, some traps still use the old edge.

Eivene.9127:

While I don’t have any experience changing colour values, he might be able to use SweetFX to tweak colours to suit him. I’ve been using it myself since launch to add some additional sharpening, mostly.

Thank you very much, I’ll send him the link.

Excelsior!
A friend of mine is colour-blind, he can’t see red. The red circles are bane of his existence.
Molten Facility, Ascalonian Catacombs, Guild Rush – all of these without ability to see red circles turn into terrible pain.
I asked him why he didn’t use any 3rd side party software that changes system colour scheme and he said that he was afraid of ban.

So I’m asking you – Is it legal to use 3rd side party software tools for handicapped people?
(for example stuff on this page http://www.color-blindness.com/2008/12/23/15-tools-color-blindness/ )

Thank you in advance

Hello,
Me and many more EU players on Dragonbrand server have the same problem.
We all get kicked the game all at the same time. This has been lasting for a week maybe more, but lately it scaled to be 4-5 crashes every day.

Please, fix this soon!
