Hello,

I would pay a nice sum to be able to change our guilds name. We are currently national guild, and we have a name of the country in the guild name. We may want to become international guild someday, but we don’t want to make a new one and lose all the hard work we’ve done to upgrade the guild over the past 3 years. Could Anet consider this request to allow guild name change?

EDIT: 175 is taken. So I choose 151.

I submited 2 tickets, but in the mean time I fixed my problem not being able to enter game after character screen. I had a Net Limiter 4 program installed and it was the source of the problem. I unistalled it and GW2 now works perfectly fine. How do I ‘unsubmit’ my tickets or tell Anet support to just ignore my 2 tickets I sent?

Thank you Colin for addressing many of out concerns (esp. that VIP system). I have one more question I hope you answer. Is it true that some parts of personal story were removed from the game?

Asus X550LB-XO026D

CPU: Intel i5-4200U (1,6Ghz – 2,6Ghz TB)
GPU: nVidia Geforce GT 740M
4GB RAM

What graphic settings I can expect (by playable I consider minimum 25 fps in non-zerg content like dungeons and completing maps)

Thank you for your insight =)

I assume moderator made a mistake. Maybe we should repost there with a note to mod?

Would be nice to see a dev answer these important questions. Lots of us transmuted their legendary.

- Will I be able to change stats on my transmuted Legendary?
- Will my transmuted legendary receive stat boost?
- Will the transmuted Sunrise/Twilight be able to be used in crafting Eternity?
- Will the note ‘transmuted’ in weapon description be rewritten to ‘Legendary’?
- Some mention gem store item to ‘untransmute’ their weapon. Is it true and what is the gem price?

Thank you

Hello,

I’m here today with my last hope I get help restoring my friend’s account. He is one of the most dedicated GW1 and GW2 players you’ll ever meet siting on over 10k hours in GW1 and over 2k in GW2.

He tried contacting support several times and he was refused to appeal for its case every time.
The case: One evening he was trying to do that hard jumping puzzle in Metrica Province in the sky. After hour or two of failed jumping, he fell down and instead of teleporting to beginning he kept falling through the sky all the way to the bottom. Frustrated, he logged out and went to sleep. Next morning he tried to login and he was “pleasantly” surprised by the message that his account was permanently terminated.
He contacted Arenanet right away. After looking into the matter Arenanet replied:

Quote Arenanet:

Your Guild Wars 2 account was detected to be involved in the use of one or more disallowed third-party programs. While some programs are used for benign purposes, others are designed to cheat, exploit, or manipulate the game in an unacceptable manner.

The use of the specific program or programs associated with your account was determined to be a breach of the Guild Wars 2 User Agreement and the Rules of Conduct, both of which you accepted when creating your account. As a result of this breach, the account has been terminated.

We have complete confidence in our detection and in our decision to terminate the account. Therefore, we will not accept an appeal in relation to this account termination.

He couldn’t believe it. I know the guy personally and he would never compromise his account like that. He is an older man (late 40s), and turning up his computer successfully is a daily achievement for him. Some bad humor, but the point is he is not computer savvy, so I don’t believe he would use any illegal third party program. Furthermore, he recently bought new computer and he had only GW2 installed at the time.

He is desperate to go back into GW2 and continue playing. He is so into guild wars that he went back to playing GW1, while I promised to do everything I can to help him restore his account.
Therefor, I kindly ask you for help. Help my friend, bring him back to game. If necessary closely monitor his account.

The incident subject: log in client not work [Incident: 130629-002599]

Thank you Arenanet, and sorry to bother you. I’m just trying to help my long time guildmate.

Can I send one mail to multiple persons? I don’t think so…
Also, I often send more than 5 items…

+1, I want option to use my Twilight on other characters as well…

I’m trying to send few items to a friend, but after one mail, message pops up that my message was blocked due to excessive messaging?
Okay, you killed gold spamers, but seriously, Mail system is useless with such limitations.
Countless were encounters when I tried to send food buff to party members in dungeon but with no luck due to this severe limitation.

Arenanet, can you please ease up on mail sending limitations, and allow at least 4 mails to be sent within 5 minutes period?

It’d be nice if they had a way to convert merits into influence or something fun like that.

Yes. This please!

Indeed. There is no way one can spend all the merits a guild earns, and if you start speeding up those guild bonuses you will run out of influence in no time.
They should add merit -> influence convertion.
1 merit -> 200 influence (250 merit = 50 000 influnece) sounds good or at least half that.
It would allow guilds to afford to have more bonuses active by spending more influence on speed ups.

Wolfheart.1938:

A simple “last time logged in” timer would go such a long way…here’s my +1

I’ve crying out for this for months since launch! Is it so hard to add this one info into the guild panel?

The problem is that current dungeon design promotes High DPS only, and blocking the damage (guardian). Imo, vitality and toughness stats are too weak.
Difference between glass-cannon and toughness/vitality character is that you will survive 1-2 hits more from boss while having 0 dps.

They need to increase damage reduction per armor
Increase skill damage scaling per power, while reducing crit damage.

Loving the Dynamic event system…
Before I say anything I believe Dynamic Events are the best thing about GW2. It is completely gamechanging, and I can’t make myself play any more static classic quests in other mmos. However…

…but, hating the rewards…
I think most of us would agree that non-world-boss-chest Dynamic Events are seriously unrewarding. Doing an event that takes you 15 minutes to complete just to get 1 silver is not good enough.
Yes, you get some karma but karma you get is just as worthless as that 1 silver. You can make 150 000 karma by doing 500 events and convert them to 2-3 gold if you buy karma armor and throw it into the mystic forge, not much else to do with it.

…which results in low populated zones.
Under-rewarding system of DEs is the main reason why most of maps are low populated, even if you see someone here and there they would probably just ignore the event and go do whatever that person was going to do, because that person know there’s not much to gain doing that event (except leveling).

“The whole game is end-game”
That’s what we used to say before game released. But why would any lv 80 character go to any lower level area if he must spend 3 hours on events, just to make as much profit as 10 minutes of CoF.

“Gold might be against the profit”…
I know that people making ingame money would hurt Arenanet/NCSofts profits (less buying gems with real money), but in the long run non-rewarding PvE system is hurting the game more.

but people like loots…
People want interesting loots. They want to kill that hard boss, do the event chain, just to see what is waiting them in the end – what will they get. At the very least, they just love the sound of full pockets with gold.

…so let’s make it rewarding…
Arenanet should revamp the reward system by replacing the general reward for event/player level (all lv 80 events give you ~1.5 silver, ~350 karma atm) with scaling rewards:
- the more difficult event more silver to win
- the more time it takes to complete (timed events, the amount of mob waves, killing champion…) more silver to win
- increase the minimum amount of silver to win
- maybe add a chance to get some item with gold contribution to event (that will make sure people stay until the end of the event, not just tag it and move on)
- to make sure people wouldn’t farm the same event chains all the time, once you do same event that day – reward it just like you reward it now: miserably.
- people will come out with some nice ideas for better rewarding system, listen to them

…and bring joy to players!

I just wanted to write about such request. Features (if these are posible) I would really like to see for each guild member are:

- last time online (I requested this months ago, still nothing) – top priority!
- the amount of influence member earned for guild (to track member activity)
- member since
- percentage of time member representing the guild (to see if member is truly loyal to guild…)

These are just few that come to mind. This information would really help manage larger guilds.

This bug is really annoying. It’s been like that since launch. If you try to sell lots of things in short time, it completely bugs….

I agree x10000
This must be permanent pls pls!

I think getting rid of Cantha and Elona is a major slap in the face of all Guild Wars fans and veterans. I don’t know but after hearing this I feel like GW2 has lost some of its charm and magic for me…. I was really looking forward to Cantha and Elona in future expansions, and who knows what we will see in this year’s expansion – not Elona and Cantha apparently…
I still hope they change their decision. And soon.

It’s discouraging but don’t let it take the charm & magic and enjoyment you get in GW2, it’s the same world so there’s always a chance we will go back to these places. I was hoping the first expansion was gonna be Cantha, as well. In fact I sort of assumed it would be prior to coming across this situation because it seemed like the natural place to open up in the game…Definitely doubtful the expansion will be Cantha, but they haven’t said anything on Elona yet…But you never know what could happen.

Thank you for encouraging words. I won’t let my hopes die.
It is obvious that Arenanet isn’t happy with this too, its artists and game designers have spent a lot of time making Canthan elements in GW2. They must have felt angry and dissapointed when they were ordered to destroy their work and make ‘a hole’ in their world – the collapse, literally. I really hope they too join the conversation like Josh Foreman kindly did and offer us more ‘rays of hope’.

Guild member info – last time online, member since…

People suggested this minor additions to the game many times over, but months have passed and no indication of this even being considered to be put into the game. This month we will have addition to guilds – guild missions, why not add this two things too. Is there some hidden problem that prevents this to be implemented? If I could see this information about members it would make life for guild leaders and officers a lot easier to administrate the guild.

Thanks.

I like where this is going. Like the mercy/revenge resource thing and heavy armor type to balance the classes (3 light, medium and heavy). Looking forward to read the rest once you are done.

I think the main reason for this item is to lower the prices of lodestones a bit and to have a good way of transferring karma from one character to another.

Errant Venture.9371:

Astraea.6075:

While I don’t wholly disagree with your suggestion, I would note that making this change will mean people won’t be able to use contributions from alts to complete their dailies and monthlies. People will then complain that they are “forced” to use one character exclusively so they can complete these achievements.

It may be very hard to design a reward system for dailies and monthlies that satisfies both groups.

Again, this is understandable. Giving us only ONE mechanism to obtain amulets and restricting that mechanism so that it takes a month to complete each item is NOT understandable though. That’s why so many people had a problem with FoTM: it was the only way to get rings.

At the very least, allow us to buy Amulets with Pristine Fractal Relics. Currently they’re useless for people who’re already geared in rings, and it would give another means (which is much less limited) to acquire Amulets.

THIS THIS!

I agree with that suggestion. As it is now I takes a huge period of time (not play time) to get amulets which is ridiculous.

Cost for ascended amulets is too big. We now need to do 50 dailies (2 months) just to get one amulet with one good infusion -.-

30 Laurels per Amulet is too much. You can get only 1 per month wtf… + infusions extra month.

The only gear piece where you can put +20% mf is amulet. Only certain amulets have utility slot!

Do these new infusion give +5 AR?

Don’t misunderstand me, I was not a fan of the rez zerg method for cof p2, in fact I hated it but we did what we had to do, I do think the new waypoint system was the way to go, but they also said they would adjust the fights accordingly, and this seems to go in the exact opposite direction. and since you pointed it out pdfrod.1948, yeah, if you fill the room with aoe you can probably clear about anything given enough aoe, but then you’re doing something we were promised we wouldn’t have to do: look for specific classes and builds just to be able to do the content, and they just said aoe needs to be toned down because it’s too op. So its either one or the other, you’re saying we can have our cake and eat it too, which we can’t.

I believe what they meant by ‘adjusting the fights accordingly’ was to make the fights easier so that it would NOT be hell to get through. Just my take on it.

Well that was my assumption too, but I don’t see how adding a stealthed enemy to attack an npc you are supposed to protect in an already overly difficult part was tuning the fight more efficiently

If you are refering to CoF path 2, try it and you will see it’s very easy. You can easily spot those stealthed assassins and kill them fast, they don’t do big dmg to Magg. There’s now a lot more mobs but they are not veterans so with some AoE you kill them quickly. This is much better then before.

Nay of the Ether.8913:

So now CoF path 2 with Magg…we now have an assassin to deal with that will not leave Magg and the problem groups are still there, along with the new waypoint system in the dungeons I am failing to see how this is balancing the dungeon at all. If anything it makes people not ever want to run this path again. We just attempted it several times and…yeah. This needs to be seriously looked at and revised. Normally I’m all bout giving changes a fair chance, but this is over the top.

You obviously didn’t try it. It’s much easier then before. With some AoE you won’t have a problem.

Arenanet: “We absolutely design everything we do with minimal grind and will continue with this principal moving forward.”

Me: Fractals levels 10,12,14 -> 22 runs (days) – 0 rings

Nuff said.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

We’re aware of the problem and are working on an active fix. Very sorry about this, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

so…half the month has passed… any news?

Hello!
I’ve been doing lv 10, 12 and 14 fractals for 10 days now, and still got nothing from daily bonus chest. Am I doing something wrong?

Nicolle, I would like to report that sometimes your mailbox will be full but the mail indicator will say 8/10. Just a heads up….

+1

This is really getting on my nerves! Why we can’t reconnect into dungeon? The worst thing is that I got dc because of your servers, not my Internet. Just a random kick from the game -.- and no way to rejoin my party.

I’m tired of killing Risen all day, I wish they add a new lv 80 area without undead in the area.
It’s sad that the whole Orr has only 3 enemy types. I checked – Risen, elemental and ooze.

I must agree with everything OP suggested. I was crying out for ‘last seen online’ option in guild panel 2 months ago. I was being patient, but guild panel hasn’t been improved since BWE1, which is sad.. It’s very hard to manage 500 people without enough info and options in guild panel.
Arena net should make this a priority, after-all guilds are the main social system in the game!

I started using SweetFX to make GW2 look more vibrant and colorful. It doesn’t give any advantage gameplay wise, It just enchances the colors and sharpness the picture.
SweetFX GW2 settings

Does Arenanet allow using this?

Please while you are at it, nerf path 2 a bit. You buffed them too much.

Warning for anyone trying this, don’t waste time.
From recent patch notes:
Shukov’s mark II golem has had its electric field updated to be a bit more dangerous now.

A bit? Just a bit? One-shot-kill-wide-fast-moving AOE every few seconds. Can you dodge it? Sure. Two times, but 2 seconds later here comes another projectile, and boom dead, wipe.

Fight with 2 champions at the same time, and you must kill them in 5 seconds window or they reset? Who came up with that?

So will you fix this or not? Because, no sane person will ever play that path again.

P.S. To anyone who completed path 2 since that patch, hands down, best team ever.

Okay, thanks. Finally some meaningful answers. Thanks everyone. I’ll speak to my friend about this.

Thanks for your replies, but I find it hard to believe. My PC is weaker than his (I got: AMD Phenom II x4 955BE 3.2GHz, 4GB RAM, ATI HD6950 1GB) and I get 60+ fps on ultra (including ultra shadows in some areas, but never below 40 in low crowded places. On minimum I hit over 100 fps, he does not. It doesn’t make sense!
By your logic my PC is stronger than his? He can play Battlefield 3 on ultra with 100+ fps, my rig can only hit 50-60 on average. I know that MMO cannot really compare to other games but still, that fact is that he’s got better PC but lower performance than me in GW2. Or am I getting something wrong, is my PC actually better?

Hello everyone. I’m writing this for my friend. He has the following PC config and his FPS at ultra is max 25 or lower when moving, 40-50 on minimum, but it is expected to run 60+ on ultra for this configuration in my opinion. He has no problem in other games.

Configuration:

OS: Windows 7 64bit
Processor: AMD FX™-6100 Six-Core Processor (6 CPUs), ~4.0GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
Display Memory: 743 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1003 MB
Current Mode: 1920 × 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)

All updated to latest driver version. Can you help my friend? What is the problem?

I added DxDiag.txt into the attachment.

Thanks!

We are not international guild, we all speak same language, we do everything together, every few minutes there’s dungeon party forming up, PvP or WvW. Since the launch I’ve never been in pub party (only partially). We are not split. I like to say, we are community of its own. I want it to raise, but until Alliances are introduced or guild cap is raised, I feel limited.

And yes, we have 2 leaders and 12 officers, web portal, team speak server with 100 slots (and mumble with 500 but we dont use it), we are 7 years old guild and we do not advertise on Lion’s Arch or anything, google finds us :P…
We want to grow, but we cannot because of this issue.

My search didn’t show anything about this so…

Hello everyone!

I feel like 500 cap for a guild isn’t enough, certainly not for my guild since people keep sending requests for invitation but we cannot invite them, because we are full. We get up to 5 requests each day and I’m feel sorry to put them on hold until a place for them comes open. I wish they add more guild upgrades to get more guild slots because 500 is not enough.

So, I thought, let’s make a sister guild! Yes good idea, but how to keep touch between two guilds. I don’t want to split my community with no direct communication. GW1 had a nice little (but big) feature -> Alliances where couple of guilds could work together and they would share one chat channel which is crucial if I want to make additional guild, but without breaking people into two parts.

So, please Arenanet, introduce alliances or at least raise the guild cap above 500. Thank you! I need this very much!

What I like the most, is simplicity.

In first BWE instead of waypoints completed, vistas etc, you had a short story about the area you are loading. I wish they add that when you complete it.
