I don’t think the percent is size based, but number of files based. I’m going to guess at least 600mb+ at this point.

Woot, there’s a Anet post in this topic!
Anti-woot, it doesn’t give a patch ETA.
lol

or wait, was “this evening” an ETA? and was it for EU or the server’s timezone?
confused

21h GMT+1 is event time in GW1, so it could be same in GW2

Hmm, that would be noon EST, and I think that means, 1pm EDT

I run into this as the manager of a guild bank, mailing stuff out to members, can only send 3 mails before I hit the counter-measures.

Can we open Black Lion Chests for Halloween now

It’ll likely require a patch, or at least a reboot, unless they’ve sneaked in the content in earlier patches and just have to “flip a switch” to activate it.

Well, given that most patches take place sometime around now (midnight PDT) I’m guessing it should be soon TM, but you can never tell when last minute delays may pop up.

Feedback: Mobile Two-Factor Authentication

From what I read it will not longer send you e-mails about unauthorized attempts when you have this set up. Would it be possible to allow us to have both security settings at the same time?

Show hacked passwords

Well I think some places show the IP address/area of the last place to log in, not sure if it shows attempts that failed however, but that would be a way to watch your account to see if someone was attempting to access it from another location, granted if the hacker is in your same city or is spoofing your IP address you wouldn’t be able to tell, but that’s generally more work than those people prefer to do, it’s all about quantity and easy targets.

Message supressed due to excessive messaging

perhaps increasing the number of stacks of items one cans end in a single mail would help. There is no fee for using the mail, and there is no person-to-person trading, so any large transfer could result in this.

You could also have the counter only apply to mails are are sent to people who are not members of the same guild, and do not have each other on their friends list, (or maybe just friends list, as a compromised account could be used to spam the victim’s guild)

Wait but.. How can you say you’ve been there and done that if… You haven’t been there and done that? I don’t get it.

Well if you want to get literal, you don’t have to do Everything or go Everywhere to get the title in the first place, so the name is already inaccurate. Also I have no objection to changing the name of the title to something else as mentioned elsewhere in this topic.

Some guild improvements

I’d like to see some more custom permissions, mostly in the “admin lower ranks” section (such as allowing someone to invite, but not kick/promote/demote maybe), and maybe a way to set permissions for the treasure trove and deep vault separate, as well as gold access.

And yes, last online would be at the top of my list of requests for the guild system.

I agree that removal or a change of the 100% map completion would be nice, I for one hate pvp and because of that I have to chose between not getting 100% or diving into a area with live PvP (not to mention having to wait til my server holds some of the locations). As for those who say that it wouldn’t be as if you have really “been there, done that” How many people with that title really have done everything and been everywhere in the game?

Master mining picks: should I just trash them?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Thomas Gallant.3851

Thomas Gallant.3851

It seems that master mining picks have a random level of “quality” that is to say, what they can and cannot pick up seems to be random (or at least hidden) Or would they be worth keeping in case they change it to be at a fixed level of quality in the future? (Ideally I’m hoping for a response that can confirm or deny if they will/have been changed/patched to have a static or viewable quality level, such as changing the names to "Master darksteel mining pick, and the like, so we know what it can be used on.)

increase the range of the karma and coin rewards for events

in Suggestions

Posted by: Thomas Gallant.3851

Thomas Gallant.3851

Right now it seems that events have a minimum and maximum reward that they give out.

Right now at level 80, I can do a level 5 event, and get 243 karma, 1s 20c as a reward or do a level 80 event, and get 378 karma, 1s 86c as a reward.

Because of the caps preventing karma and coin rewards for events from going to high or two low, regardless of the level of the event (it seems to be based on character level from what I can tell) there is little point in doing the higher level events, (at least for the direct rewards, unlocking vendors or dungeons are still a factor) as the karma and coin reward differs very little from low level events, and the high level events tend to be harder anyway.

My suggestions:
decrease the minimum karma and coin reward
Increase the maximum karma and coin reward
Adjust Karma and coin rewards to be more in line with the difficulty of the event
Add a bonus reward for staying with an event chain from beginning to end, or for staying several steps in a row of the same chain.

[Bug] Guardian: "Battle presence" does not refresh properly.

Posted by: Thomas Gallant.3851

Thomas Gallant.3851

I’ve noticed this bug too, maybe reduce the duration to say 2.999 seconds, or have it refresh every 3.001 seconds would help, or have it stack duration to a max of 3 seconds just a few ideas about how a fix could be applied without having to adjust things too deep in the system perhaps ( though I don’t know how the system works, I’ll venture a guess)

Also if it could be made into a true aura (something that I guess would need to be added, as atm “aura” effects seem to be short duration aoe buffs that cast continually)

Is this a Graphical error; drivers? or a Game issue?

Thomas Gallant.3851

I’m guessing that’s what it is, when I have AO on in the control panel, that happens from time to time, they’ll need to fix that, but I don’t know if it’s on the driver side only, or if it’s more on the game side, or a mix of both that needs to be fixed.
Until then, best to keep it turned off.

My best guess is that the log in server is currently under heavy load, just keep trying and you may be able to get into the game sooner or later.
