IME is the software used to change your text input. e.g., typing in East Asian language characters using an English keyboard.
There are a bunch of stupid hotkey snafus that can cause you to change your input if you have IME enabled. alt+shift is the first one that comes to mind.
GW1, Factions/Nightfall both gave you two extra character slots (with each granting 2 new classes); I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that you can just hop in with the new class.
I guess it will start with 1 pr profession, and then they can expand from there.
I was thinking this. Colin kept talking about the new vision for character progression in GW2, and I was thinking exactly that. They’re going to leave specialization open for new options in the future.
seems liek anet havent put much content to keep the players playing, any good thing that anet offered for us
The two most successful subscription-based MMOs that come to mind (EQ, WoW) put out less content than ArenaNet does, without requiring monthly dividends. I fear for your long-term memory; you can’t forget very nearly a release every two weeks for the past year and a half, can you?
Offered for you… EQ’s last two expansions required $40 up-front in order to release a quarter of their expansion every three months. You could reasonably expect the same shelf-life of each of their releases as you can from GW2’s, and you’re not paying (($15*12+$40)/4) $51 for every content update. Please have some vision.
You can just go right back in to Glint’s Lair mission without redoing the entire storyline. Sure, it sucks, but alternatively, you could run through all of S2 to get back to Echoes again alternatively. You’re looking at tops, half an hour (if you’re really bad, especially since you don’t have to redo the other achievements along the way) to get back to where you were.
It’s been me all along. I’m Mr. E. That mysterious stranger in episode 6, before the teragriff? I’ve been watching you all for a very long time, just rarely seen.
I’ve been guiding your steps for a very long time now.
It would cost very much money and take a massive amount of time to translate the whole game.
And even if only for the chat, that would require hiring GMs and support staff that could read Hebrew which would also be a rather large cost.
Since the Hebrew-speaking part of the community is probably very small there is really nothing that can validate spending said money and time for it.
If OP’s just referring to chat, GW2 already has compatibility with Windows language bar functions. You could type in Asian languages since Head Start, but this was disabled on release (for NA server, at least). OP seems to have at least an internet’s worth of English communication ability, and managed to not post the thread entirely in caps lock, so I think we can assume he isn’t asking for a Hebrew-speaking production team just for his own vanity. I don’t really see any cost issues involved, considering the code is already there. The only detriment I can readily foresee is a difficulty in language-filtering every profanity in every conceivable language, but if I really wanted to cuss at someone and let them see it, I don’t need another language to begin with.
It wasn’t that hard to read, especially for someone who started the post explaining that they are a non-native English speaker.
I think a little critical thinking could pave the way for people giving a little bit of leeway for those who want to communicate outside of their comfort zone; like this dude, it took me no more time to decipher the meaning than it would of any 14 year old posting on youtube (although I have a 100% success rate on reading OP’s message, so there’s that to his favor).
I’m thrilled for living story. It’s like an expansion, for free, and if you consider that EverQuest has been pushing it’s expansions in one-quarter increments and expecting money up-front, a significantly better bang for your buck. I wouldn’t mind seeing things you’ve mentioned (new classes/races/weapons could really breathe some more life into the game, weapons in particular could be more exciting than anything else), certainly. Profession skill keybinding wouldn’t take much effort to implement, either. But leave LS alone, this is practically the only game giving out free content regularly without forcing you to pause every 4 minutes for “a word from our sponsors”.
or better yet, player defeats by it are pinged. So you don’t even see where the Tergriff is, you just see its bloody trail.
I am genuinely concerned that this has not been implemented as-is; I’d take great pleasure in seeing how hard the minimap is pinged during the labyrinth. At least a death count right underneath the essences-found variable, yeah?
Anyone else missing the challenge mote altogether? It’s not appearing in the place shown in the achievement videos for me, and the relevant achievement disappears when I move past to start the cutscene.
/e: nevermind, it’s one of those events that checks for the flag that makes sure you post about it before it appears, so you look dumb
Don’t get me wrong I like GW2 but the RNG in this game is the worst I’ve ever seen.
How many video games have you played? Have you spent years farming for your epic in EQ1? Having gotten 40 people together for the sole purpose of one drop for one individual, wasting hours of everyone’s night, because your item wouldn’t drop in the raid? The drop rates in this game are breezy. I’m not vouching for any sort of time-extended content due to low drop rates alone, but this statement right here is too gimme-it-now to let slide. I understand you’re frustrated, but if this is the worst you’ve seen, you might’ve been playing video games for 84 minutes maximum.
Love the Ambrite Weapon skins but we were disappointed today to learn that the warhorn doesn’t have a unique sound. I was expecting the sound of a flight of locusts. Or crickets chirping. Instead just the standard, “ah-oooooo.” It can’t be that hard to add a special sound Anet, come on get with it!
It should sound like the summoning of a velociraptor, and nothing else.
I wish to express my gratitude for the assistance on my ticket. Timely, efficient, got precisely what I needed. If you guys ever contract CSR out to Comcast, they’ll have a world-wide monopoly in days. In case anyone at ArenaNet takes the forum’s more vocal members too seriously, I’d just like to reinforce precisely why it is Guild Wars is working on 10 years running as a non-subscription MMO; my experience with the staff has been nothing short of exemplary.
No, OP. Tasteless would be rushing to the forums to announce how tasteless you think it is that two completely unrelated topics which happen to share the same name happen to exist, just for the purpose of inciting people. And how tasteless is it of YOU to share a name with Boris the Animal, considering his vile attempt in 1969 to stop the Arc Net Shield from protecting Earth, which would cost the planet countless lives? Seems tasteless in the extreme…
I was hoping for a geeky comedy but it all felt like geek “humor” written by non-geeks writing what they thought was geek humor.
This is exactly how I felt about the show. I can’t relate to it at all, even being the target demographic (or more exactly, the target, since it very clearly is written by those non-geeks who would find these geek moments funny).
Every time I run into someone with a BAZINGA or a ROCK PAPER SCISSORS LIZARD SPOCK shirt, I automatically know that 1.) they have no taste, b.) we have nothing in common, and theta.) I can’t indulge in any “geek” or “nerd” “culture” with them in presence, without being thrashed at with stupid jokes and inane questions like “how is it possible you don’t find the show funny?”, as if ‘funny’ were an objective concept and it defies universal laws to disagree.
There’s a dev post stating that the collection triggers for each coin upon initially touching it. This has been my experience; I interrupted all 30 of my coins (I hate waiting around if I don’t have to) and I’ve got my achievement. Are you 100% certain you’re not missing one coin somewhere?
You could optionally read the whole thing (which would take less time than creating another thread on this matter) and discover the answer on your own.
There’s your problem, Ravenfeathers, thinking time is linear. In actuality, it’s a big ball. In essence, your own clock is responsible for your misguided belief in that the patch is late; if it didn’t tell time linearly, you wouldn’t have this problem.
I spent a good twenty minutes trying to think of the most revolutionary inventions to name my engineer after. After a lightbulb went off in my head (Lightbulb was taken), I thought to myself, “there’s no way…”
It wasn’t just you, dude. I’ve been sitting here contemplating going to sleep or not so I can wake up and the patch would hit, or to stay up and be the first to play new season the second it hits.
I’m using “noob” as an abbreviation to save both you and I the trouble of articulating precisely how bad you are, and how you’re wasting everyone’s time. If you’d rather censor it, I’ll be forced to resort to non-abbreviation.
I can be terse. I can do it quite easily, while still using polite language and completely evading any filter, without actively evading it in the first place. Bad manners are something no censor can ever filter. You’re mistaken in believing that you’ll control thought the way you can control language.
In celebration of their upcoming Superbowl championship, having just moved across country out of my beloved hometown and into foreign territory, I decided to support my favored team in the loudest ways possible. I can’t quite decide which dye is more appropriate, and I need your help.
I’m welcome to any other suggestions as well; it is quite unfortunate ArenaNet — BEING VERY CLEARLY BASED IN BELLEVUE — did not foresee the need and thus completely neglected to include “Action Green” in their dye set. I had to make do. ;;
The Aetherblades are multi-racial and use magic. They also carry a weapon heretofore unseen in Tyria: a long and narrow blade that they call a rapier. It has proven quite effective as a weapon, according to those who survived the Aetherblade raids.
