Guild Wars 2

I wouldn’t mind seeing something along the lines of changing the active combat/avoid combat button. Sure, have that as a toggle when the pet is beside you, but if it isn’t, I’d like to see it changed so that the pet leaps/charges/web pulls/whatever straight back to your side – a really fast movement. That way, I might be able to keep my pets alive in boss fights when I see them standing in an AoE circle that’s too huge for them to run out of normally, instead of hearing ‘They got my pet!’ so often = \ Either that, or give us a button to make our pets dodge that isn’t the same one we use, and give them their own endurance regen that’s affected by our skills and traits. So nothing circus-bear style, but maybe they could block or duck on command?

Ha, yeah, I’ve noticed this too! I play a ranger, and gotta say, kitten my arctodus has suddenly stacked on the weight. Or changed his shoes or something, he’s sooooo loud these days. Doesn’t happen all the time, or with all the pets (my leopard is reassuringly silent), but wow it’s annoying when it does.

For all the rangers out there who may have stuck 10 points in BM and unlocked the trait ‘Compassion Training’, a quick question. The tooltip says ‘Pets heal for more’ – is that they are healed for more by your skills, or they heal you for more when you’re dead on the floor and screaming for help?

Thanks in advance = ]

I had that problem – I ended up turning my audio off in the game options, closing the game completely, then relogging and putting the audio back on. It seemed to fix it for me, but I don’t know what caused it = \

Artereis.1260:

I honestly don’t see the harm in making vendor-purchased, soulbind on acquire items have a sellback value the same as their purchase value. As long as the item hasn’t been transmuted onto something else, you should be able to just return it at face value.

I like this idea, but maybe put a time limit on it – something like you must return the item within 10 minutes to get the value back. That and you can’t have equipped or done anything to it. But yeah, hopefully they’ll put something like this in soon, it’d be good not to be so wary of misclicks = ]

Celebrate good times come on! Thanks Gaile!

I’m another who’d like to add my voice to the requests for a physical authenticator instead of a mobile one = ] it’s great for all those people who have and like smartphones, but I’m not one of them, so if there was a keyfob style authenticator or something, I’d be straight there. But thanks heaps for giving us a mobile one to get started with! = ]

I’m not fond of race or sex changes – just me, I guess, but I wouldn’t want to see those implemented. Maybe because I can see them being exploited, unless there was a massive cooldown on the changes. But everything else, sign me up! New hair style, colour, a bit of touch up work (but nothing extreme of course) here and there…
What’d be really awesome is if they found a way to implement name changes and NPCs recognised that you’d changed your name, but that’d take a hell of a lot of work, so just stick with the ability to name change = ]

I think Sea of Sorrows is one of the unofficial oceanic servers, but pretty sure it’s full = \

I really like this idea too = ] The pink ribbon would be awesome.

Another option would be to have it in the gem shop, and A Net donates a percentage of their income from purchases of the item to fund breast cancer research.

Rock out the Pink!

Think the best one I’ve seen was an asura named Sultan Pepper. = ]

Yay for a barbershop, that’d be awesome = ] Hopefully it’ll get added when some of the other stuff people are complaining about is sorted out.

I got a giggle out of a couple of the characters in my sylvari story quest, when I ran to Orr to save one of them. Brawling my way out, I hear from behind me:
‘I don’t think they watered this place well.’
‘Yes Carys. They did.’

I love the music in this game, just wish I could get it playing all the time in the background instead of fading in and out = \ I’ve got the frequency slider on the shortest time between plays, but I still seem to get a fair bit of no-music time. Oh well = ] Adine said it right, epic music for an epic game.

I hope this isn’t supposed to happen, but I’ll try and explain what went on.

I created a Sylvari character with the Green Knight storyline, and I got up to the stage of going to Occam’s house to find him. After completing this, I viewed the cutscene, which worked perfectly, and had a moment of ‘omg, I can’t play with this character anymore’, so I deleted her (she was only lvl 7) and started again, sticking with the same storyline choices.

This time, I again got to the stage of searching Occam’s house and completed the phase, but this time I noticed that I had low health and as I killed the last enemy, I had a bleed ticking my already low health down. Halfway through the second line of the cutscene, the characters became mute – their animations still worked, and the text lines were still there, but the sound was completely gone. I assume that’s when the bleed killed me, as when the cutscene finished my poor little warrior was lying dead on the floor.

Is this supposed to happen, and has it happened to anyone else, or am I the only one who’s been killed during a cutscene? = ] Would it be possible to allow sound to continue as normal in a cutscene irrespective of whether the character is dead or not? I don’t mind the dead – bad timing happens – but the lack of sound threw it a bit for me.

Thanks in advance.

At least we’ve had some replies, thanks Gaile, but I guess it’s back to waiting for me….

Still waiting… and getting more annoyed = \
Is there any hope of us getting even a rough estimate on when these ‘reserved’ names will become available for players? Or, if you can’t figure that out, perhaps when a name changing system would be implemented? Because I’ll make my character up with a not-what-I-wanted-name if there’s a hope I’ll get the one I’m after later on…

“At this time we are currently working on other features, and we would encourage you to create your character and start playing with it, as it will still be a little while until we release the Guild Wars 1 reserved names to use on Guild Wars 2. We also encourage you to link your Guild Wars 1 account to Guild Wars 2 if you have yet to do so. This feature will surely be available. I hope this information is useful to you. If you have any further questions or concerns, let us know.”

So create my character and start playing with it, even though my name isn’t available? Does that mean that when the names become available you’ll allow character name changes? or will we be stuck with what we created as a stop-gap?

= \ I hadn’t thought of that! So does that mean any character you create after that date won’t be able to get the hat? Maybe they’ll extend it because of the reserved names and account issues that people are having?

I hope they do = (

There have been a few forum posts on this topic, and I’m in the same boat waiting for my name to become ‘unreserved’. From what I can gather, A Net is trying to fix all the issues people are having with logging in and being hacked, in case some of those people have names reserved from Guild Wars 1. I assume that the names will be released when the major issues are sorted out, but I hope it’s soon = ]

I’ve been wondering this as well, been trying to make a character with the name I want for ages and I keep getting told it’s reserved = \
