Guild Wars 2

My issue was resolved, and it was my (stupid) error. But happily, I can access my account. Support was very patient with me.

Hope you get your account back, Mouse.

Matt, thanks so much for directing my issue to support. I am working with someone now to resolve it.

Tanek, I know it’s separate, but I’m still unable to login to support despite having the correct username and email. So, two different login issues. Lucky me!

Has anyone else had issues with either a new PC or Windows 8? I never had any trouble on my old Windows 7 PC.

Yes, it’s Incident number 130421-000139

I did not have Caps Lock on.

Tech support seems unable to help me with this: I have changed my password five times now, but I still can’t login. Maybe someone else has advice?

I set up my new PC and downloaded the client. When I try to login, I get the gray screen with the message: “Invalid Username or Password – Recover Account” Build 17834 code 11:1001:2:1366

I am able to login to my account on the web and I verified my IP address. However, I am not able to login to Support to update my ticket (it keeps saying my password is incorrect). When I respond to the support emails, they just keep saying to reset my password, which I have done.

I checked to see if Windows 8 was the issue. I enabled GW2 through the Windows Firewall and Run as Administrator.

I’m at my wit’s end here. I had been looking forward to playing GW2 with my shiny new graphics card, but I may have to go back to my old computer.

This happened to me yesterday, so I re-started the instance. I think it got stuck the first time because I didn’t wait for the enemies to reach the quaggans, but went ahead myself to meet them. I waited the second time, and it was fine.

I was so excited about this new content until I read how much influence was needed to unlock it. We have a 10-member guild of close friends. Two of those members, however, usually represent a different guild. We have jobs, so have only a few hours per day to play, and not everyone wants to run dungeons over and over and over just to farm gold. Most of us have played since beta, but we have not unlocked all the guild upgrades yet.

I have no problem at all with new content for large guilds – that’s wonderful! There should be content for them. I would personally love to have content for 6-10 member groups, as someone is inevitably left out of guild dungeon runs.

I like that in PvE and WvW, you can play with massive numbers of other people if zergs are your thing. But people who enjoy the coordination and effectiveness of small groups will have to look elsewhere for fun.

And they don’t want the jewelcrafter complain their profession is useless so they have to save a few combination.

It’s already becoming useless.

This^^

I was so dismayed to check out the Laurel Vendor and discover that my only useful craft besides cooking had become obsolete. On the plus side: the price of ectoplasm may fall.

I love the idea of guild events, but I hope they can be scaled for small guilds, too. We often have six or seven players that want to do a dungeon together. It’s frustrating, because someone always feels left out.

I received Tixx’s gift in the mail, and it was PvP stuff, which I will never use. But since it was a freebie, it doesn’t matter. The 15-slot box was lovely, ty.

There are lots of players who loathe PvP and WvW, myself included, and wish Anet would change requirements for monthly and world completion achievements. No one is asking it to be made easier – we just hate PvP situations and would prefer a very difficult PvE map or finishing all the dungeons to the WvW requirement. How many of us have struggled with the WvW map only to be picked off by a swarm of enemy players camping out to kill the lone map completionist? The frustration I feel about this is making me want to abandon the game. Yes, it’s just an achievement, but it’s so disheartening to think you’ve completed the map of Tyria and then discover you’re being forced to go into WvW.

People say you can switch servers to get those points. So we’re being encouraged to cheat, and we’re being encouraged to leave our friends behind if we want 100%.

Could we at least have a truce day once a month for map completion? 99% is taking on a whole new meaning in GW2.

I agree wholeheartedly with the OP. I would have map completion (pretty much soloed) except for WvW. I’m not interested in legendary weapons and know that I won’t get them because I don’t do PvP or WvW. But I do enjoy PvE and dungeons, play GW2 almost every day, and regularly buy gems. In other words, I think Anet would like to keep my business.

It just seems incredibly unfair that I finished the whole PvE map and will be stuck at almost complete because my server isn’t so great at WvW (and I don’t blame them for not liking it). People who did the WvW map when the game first came out and servers weren’t balanced, or jumped around on servers before the 7 day cooldown requirement are the lucky ones.

I also don’t care if I’m called a wimp or not “hardcore” enough. I spend my limited time doing things I enjoy. I would be glad to jump some more hurdles to get map completion if it didn’t involve WvW or PvP.
