Guild Wars 2

Yes but we are not in the US. We’re in Argentina which is in the “third” region, called simply “Other”. There are no “Other” versions of the game, just US and EU and SUPPOSEDLY for us it makes no diference what we purchase. And that’s what i need confirmation of.

I’ve sent the Ticket but they are yet to respond.

Oblivion.5293:

Reading back and forth from the support page, your friend should be in the clear with the EU serial code. Since he is in Argentina, he’ll be accessing the NA datacenter. Here’s the support topic that I’m reading off of:

http://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9184/kw/region

Though if this method is available for him, he can buy a digital copy from buy.guildwars2.com as it will give him the correct version.

Yes but ANet has disabled digital sales for now, and Green Man Gaming (which is where I bought it) is out of copies. That’s how we ended up finding the EU store.

Edit-they changed the guide, apparently being an Argie you will default to the US datacentre, but will still be free to roam Europe worlds.

We don’t have a problem with US datacentre (and we’re also playing on US servers). What’s confusing is that we’re not buying the US version, it’s the EU version. I just wanted to make sure if that means he’ll get into the EU datacenter because of Key, or to the US datacenter because of IP. It should be US, right? Even if he buys the EU key, it SHOULD make no difference… right?

Basically, according to the gide, it says
“Other: Players in countries not listed above will connect to the North American datacenter.”
So it would seem to be by IP, and therefore should not matter what key you buy, just where you are. In which case we should be in the clear and be able to buy any one of them. It’s a bit ambigous, that’s why I wanted to make sure before we buy a brick :p

It’d be nice to get an official response into this issue.

Pictish.3410:

the game may not be region locked but any store purchases are, You have to purchase at your home regions prices/currency.

Yeah but that’s a problem for the stores to handle. What I mean is, I’ve heard US and EU residents can’t log in from one another.

So it would like this:
You are on the NA region, you can’t log in with a EU key.
You are on EU region, you can’t log in with NA key.
You are on the “other” region, you can log in with any version.

And once you log in, you can get on any server, be it NA or EU. At least that’s what I’ve heard but I’d really like some sort of oficial confirmation to make sure we don’t spend our money and then get a key we can’t use.

Does anyone know if this is explained anywhere officially?

I’m an Elementalist and I try to initiate with a stun or area knockback. Also any blocking skill helps.

(yes I know I’m a mage, crazy that I’m generally the tank/Initiator but I’m loving that you can do that)

Yes, many complain about the auto-attack consuming charges (I think that’s why they removed it in the first place) but that aplies only to some weapons like the frost bow (where 1 is mostly useless) or the flame axe. Hammer is definetly one you want with auto attack, and many people think fiery greatsword as well.

Also, if the engineers are having this issue then it’s worse. They don’t have any timers or charges or anything, they use ‘em as regular, unlimited weapons. Which they can’t swap reliably to because of this.

Hi, I’ve got a friend who wants to get in on the game, and I want to know what happens with the region lock thing. We are in Argentina which appears to be in the “Other” category. I heard we can buy either European or NA version and there won’t be any difference or problems since we’re not in either. Is this true?

I’ve purchased the NA version and everything is ok but the store is out of copies. We found a another one with EU versions so that’s why we need to know.

Hi,

I’ve been trying to play using conjured weapaons in muy build, but every time I set their auto-attack, the next time I call for one, it’s gone. On some weapons like the frost bow this is not a problem, since I’m not using slot skill 1 too much, but on others like the lightning hammer, it makes it impossible to use reliably. Mashing the 1 button for the combo gets tiresome fast.

Also, I did hear that engineers are having the same issue with their toolkit weapons, but I haven’t played the class so I wouldn’t know.

I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if it’s designed to be that way. If it is, then please, we need the weapons to remember our auto-atack settings, even after we drop and resummon them.
