Guild Wars 2

After testing we found currently the only way to get the cold protect again after completing the story is to start it over again and work your way to the second mission. Which means unfortunately you have to do the Aurene mission each time you want to go back to the cold area. Ugh If you find another way let me know.

I am at a loss on this. So what you are telling me is all the devs I have heard leaving are not being replaced? You are instead lowering the game to how many people you have? I have played the game since the beta of GW1 so I am not someone new and have watched the game as of late drop the ball too many times. Is it already time to put it on auto pilot like gw1 and you just do not want to tell us that?
Here is my thoughts on the current state of the game and where the efforts should be divided into. You should have a group on living story but not the whole team, there should be a group on updating the missing content like living story 1, SAB and any bugs related to the changes in the main content. you should have a team on new items and skins and make them available thru BL AND thru achievements and adventures. Lately more items are coming into the BL and now we are being told sorry we do not have the manpower to make the legendary sets but here is another full set to buy in our store with real money.
Take it or leave it I feel the core needs to be kept in tact and updated just as much as adding new content. But please look back over the years and go back to the way it was before hurrying up to pass out something sub par just to say here is something new.

I tried searching but came up with no results. I know they disabled the items at the hom until the can take the items away from those who wrongfully got the items and achievements they did not earn but when will it go back up for those of us who earned them properly? I know when the wardrobe came out I should have went there and got one of every skin then sat there deleting them all but I didn’t and now I want an item from there and it is disabled.
So my question is this is there and estimated restore time or do I need to create a support ticket and maybe someone can verify my account and unlock the skins for me or what can I do?

as far as I’m aware, there won’t be a boxed version at all.

At the FAQ’s
Can I pre-purchase through my favorite retailer?
Yes. Starting on June 23, 2015, you’ll be able to pre-purchase boxed and digital editions of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns from our official retail partners. You may also be able to pre-order through retailers, but there is no official pre-order program and pre-purchasing is the only way to receive the benefits of our pre-purchase program, including access to all of the Beta Weekend Events.

1) Being it now comes with the core, Will the core be on a separate key to give to a friend? To me that would make business sense to add another player that may look to upgrade if they like the game. Or will it be a waste for the vets?
2) what comes in the boxed version or is it just a CD in a cardboard box and when you put in the CD it says downloading everything you need you can toss the CD in the land fill now all I needed was a piece of paper from the box?

Um Randomness means well, Random not the same ones over and over. If you see nothing but the same 2 it means a possible but, maybe something happened when patching and they accidentally changed while tweaking something else. It has happened before on items why not on maps? I remember when Charged Quarts were dropping every node farm due to an oops of this same type instance.
I did not put this post here for someone to say “It’s random” since 4 times in a row means broken. I know it can happen but that would be the same odds of a legendary dropping. Slim to none. So if the replies are all going to be it’s random then I will chalk it up as a worthless post and the reason I rarely post on the forums.

…It’s random.

I know it is supposed to be random but I feel something dot bugged on it’s randomness and it is picking those 2 only. For 4 times in a row the same 2 to me that feels like a bug. I am up to 37 not because I rarely run them, only because I have not dumped money into AR until recently. I had never gotten the same ones more than twice. 2 of the runs were back to back and both were different Levels.

Thank you for the reply but hopefully someone will respond with more than “It’s random” Which in the past it has always been random. but now after 4 runs in a row it is not.

Did something happen in a patch that removed random 3rd and 4th map to always be the same 2? Or remove the random percent to these to to make it seem that way? In the last few days I have run 4 fractal sets and all 4 times I got Shaman as the third and Mai Trin as the fourth. All 4 times in a row makes me think bug or very low chance something different. Anyone else notice this?

So if I am reading this right now not only will the skill fail due to very poor targeting now I will lose adrenaline when the mechanics fail?!?! Can you just remove all damage from Warriors while you are at it? I will be facing a target click a skill and it will jump backwards, swing and miss since there is no “in range” mechanic. In pvp warriors will become the unused class since everyone will be able to dodge every attack. Oh look a warrior is about to use a skill move 1 centimeter to the left and no damage will be done.

Sorry this sounds like a rant but I have missed more times than not due to the poor targeting mechanics and now I will be losing all the adrenaline when the mechanics fail just takes it over the top. I would like to know how do you target something that auto un-targets itself every 2-3 seconds? I will be almost touching someone and it misses just for no reason.

Please repair the targeting system and something to let you know you will hit what you are facing or remove all the ranged toons ability to follow their target (i.e. rapid fire will follow a moving target, mesmers confusing images does the same I can go on but I think you get the point). I could see if you get “Blocked” losing adrenaline but if the skill fails to the due to the broken mechanics than it should not be lost.
End rant

Ok just went and remade all the armor (with the help of a guild mate) I went to add the rune to the armor (on my El this time) and the prompt reads " Upgrading an item will make it account bound to you" See even the prompt says account bound not soulbound like the item becomes. So it is a bug even though a gm told me it was working as intended.

I know it is working as intended, but in my opinion it is bugged none the less even if they intended it to work bugged.
Here is my deal I crafted light armor on my ranger for my el. I gathered most of the mats and due to my el hitting 49 I bought the rest just to have it ready when I hit 50. I also crafted all my weapons and jewels. I gathered all my sigils and runes. Due how many spaces it takes to hold all these items (6 armors, 5 jewels, 4 weapons, and 10 sigils and runes) I gathered them in my storage and added the runes and sigils to the armor and weapons. Even though the rune/sigil was non bound, the armor was non bound it still soulbound them all to my ranger. Yes it bound light armor to a medium armor toon. Why do they soulbind weapons and armor if you are able to trade them individually? Is it the market? No that would actually lower the price since some runes are worth more than the armor + rune.

On a separate and relevant note when are they going to change the 10 slot trick or treat bags to account bound or add a recipe to upgrade it to 20? I do not want to dump a nostalgic item but at the same time my ranger has all 10 slot bags now so they will not lost 10 spots for it. My baby toons with 8 slot bags could use it for now or the upgradability would be ideal
Thanks

Eagle eye increases the range from 1200 to 1500. If you are in that range any auto attack skill fails to continue. If you drop back to under 1200 it starts working again. Very annoying to need to spamming the 1 key to keep firing my bow while the other skills are on cool down when at max range.

I as well as many others are curious on the policy of macro’s in the game. Since they are partnering with Steel Series on a Guild Wars 2 keyboard designed for macro’s are they going to change the no macro rule or are they making the keyboard worthless to get? It would be pretty sad to partner with someone then ban people for purchasing their product and using it as intended.

When I am on my ranger and stand over the 1200 range (eagle eye trait) the skill 1 will not continue to auto attack. Can this be adjusted to a 1500 range?

Northern Shiver peaks as well. Did the update fix one problem and kill the events?

And in the source of the Email you will see the fake email as well as the real one. In the code it will tell you who sent it and where it came from. Which means if you send an email and use a hacked account it can be tracked to you. Granted the most elite of elite hacker can make it hard but never impossible. It may take some steps from their security department but it can be done. The spam ones usually come from things like B1izzard.com or things like that so it can be tracked but if someone is using an exact email they are not registered to use it is fraud and trackable. Btw yes most of the Emails are coming from Korea and can be tracked to the exact location it was sent from.
So no I do not fell like an idiot asking if they are following thru with the the fraud investigation of someone illegally using a registered gw2 email. I was hoping maybe they would respond with what is being done to protect our accounts since getting the emails blocked is step one, account theft is step 2.

I know they are all phishing emails but what is A-net doing to counter them? I can not report them as spam I can not block the Email or any of the normal combats vs the phishing emails since it is coming from A-net themselves.

You tell us to be careful and protect our accounts, what is a-net doing to protect their own Email? This has been going on for weeks and if it was my email hacked I would have fixed it immediately yet noreply@guildwars2.com is still compromised today.

I would like to continue to get the real emails from you all but I know this is an attemt to get everyone to block that email then when our accounts do get hack attempts we will not see them since the emails to warn us will be blocked with the phishing emails.

Please advise

So is this another 1 week trial time? it was 7pm for me then with daylight it went to 8pm. Then they moved it up 2 hours when most people were at work still. The noticed the impact so now they are moving later 2 hours from original and will find out Hay people work on weekends and they will be in bed right after reset. Why could they not leave well enough alone and separate the 2 servers leaving us at the not too late, not to early times?

On the open minded side I understand people are in work later than us on the east coast so maybe meet in the middle instead of 9pm/10pm(daylight savings time) move it to 8pm/9pm. That way west coast it is a little early but not bad, west coast a little late but not bad, ideal time for gmt. All in balance.
Just my 2cents.

I know it may not be a true bug but indirectly it is. During events like Halloween and wintersday we get items like packs and backslot items. The are account bound but soulbound when used. These items are not max and there is no way of upgrading them to that. Can they either be switched to account bound or add a forge recipe to make them useful for higher levels? I would not mind if I can pass the items down to my lowbies. I do not want to just dump historical items either. (i.e 10 slot bag, Mad king book, etc)
Thanks

I am not a huge WvWvW person but I think it is pretty fun when I do. But I have a couple issues that I would like to throw out an idea or 2 at.

The dead spy’s.
Can they force a respawn spot after a few seconds? Kind of like SAB so then they can not have a toon lying dead in a hot spot waiting for it to get clear then call in a small zerg knowing it will be an easy cap.

Full transfer spy’s.
I feel these players are cheap and pathetic. Last time I looked this is a game and the excitement comes when 2 groups do not know what the others are doing and the challenge comes in winning the battle. I am not sure how but there has to be a way to control the spy’s like that. Basically they are causing a map manipulation by telling their team what the other is planning.

Play the game for fun it is not real war it is a place to relax and have fun with friends.

Such a sad week in WvWvW
My question is this: Why can they not move the poi’s and vistas off the cap points.
Basically I am sitting at 99% world completion waiting on “easy” guilds to finish my completion title.
I even tried sitting outside the place with no weapon when the home team went to take it back from team 3 and they still killed me

I am in a holiday crunch at my job so I have to pull long days. Why would the Devs set up an event that has a 1 time trigger? Some of us have to work (you know the ones who earn the money to buy Gems). So basically when I join the game today I am told since I worked 13 hrs I missed the one time event. So was I supposed to forfit my OT for the event? Why could they not do the event like dungeons? 1 drop for the first time and a different drop for the repeaters? It is already coded into the game and all. These are the deciding factors when I am in the store if I get a gem card or a new movie/CD. Take care of the money makers and they will invent money into the game.
