[Spoiler] Poor Canach...

I have this weird feeling Anise is behind it all (or that’s not the real Anise and that sylvari “disguise” wasn’t a disguise). Why the hell for instance does she need an assasin to spy on the pact for her.

If that DOES turn out to be case then poor Canach’s going to once again find himself haplessly aligned with the wrong side.

Game Idea: Custom Underwear

Obviously if it’s an either/or situation, armour wins hands down, no arguments from me there at all.

But skinning an existing model with a different texture should be a lot less effort than modelling/skinning/sfxing a new armour set for all the different races/genders.

I’m not 100% sure where to post this, I’m sure I remember there being a Game Ideas/Suggestions board somewhere, but I can’t find it.

So underwear, all I’m saying is, I’d pay good money (read gems) to be able to change my underwear, even if it’s just the color (or print!) and I’m sure I can’t be alone in this.

It doesn’t even have to be an item, it can be similar to the hairstyle customization or whatever’s easiest.

Obviously I don’t know how it’s coded (or whether it’s baked into the character texture or what) but it -seems- like this could be a fairly simple customization versus gain.

They already mentioned in part 1 that you can just right-click their portait and click “Join in…” so they obviously havent removed that functionality.

Same issue, Durban checking in. Will try out the DNS fix when I get home and report back. It does seem like it’s affecting South Africa heavily. Almost everyone I know from here were having the same issue last night (to varying degrees).

stuck updating

Just to add, having the same problem and so is everyone I know with the game (all on EU servers). The predownloader starts but very quickly the speed drops to zero and then it doesnt move again.

It’s been doing it for the last couple updates. Usually if I restart it enough it’ll eventually keep speed and fi ish the predownload, after which it’s fine. But it’s not working tonight Almost makes me wonder if it’s being done on purpose to stagger people downloading the actual patch.

Praise for Living Story

Hey, I just wanted to post to say I’m REALLY enjoying the whole Living Story, everything about it. Obviously there’s a million things that come to mind as “wouldn’t it be cool if they did THIS”, but that’s not the point of this thread and doesn’t detract from what is.

I love the lore, I love the characters (even Scarlet), I love speculating on what might be and what might not be, I love the achievements (especially the tricky ones that really made you feel like you worked for it), the Marionette event was amazingly fun (even when it was frustrating) and whoever came up with that concept should get a bonus. And I’ve looked forward to every new release with great anticipation.

It bums me out when all I seem to see online is constant negativity meeting every new release, so I guess I just wanted to post to try counter-balance it somewhat. I don’t know if it’s a case that a lot of players don’t like it, or whether it’s just a very vocal minority. But either way, there’s a lot of us that really do like it and I guess because we have nothing to complain about, we don’t tend to post (yay for negativity bias).

Marionette Deregulator achievement broken?

I feel certain I’ve killed all five (or at least 4) of those guys during successful chains and yet it’s been stuck on 3/5 for the last two weeks now. It’s hard to say for certain because there’s no way for me to know which ones it think I’ve gotten.

Is anyone else having an issue with that achievement? Is this a known issue?

Marionette kill didn't count

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

We’ve had the exact same thing happen to us. We dc’d early on in the event, came back, did our lane. When the marionette got killed, we got nothing.

It seems like, if you dc at any point during the event, even if you sever a chain afterwards, the whole thing stops counting.

We often use ranks as prizes for certain events and sometimes just for fun. So I guess we probably use more ranks than we should.

Hey,

There’s been a few things that have come up that would be great to have when it comes to guilds.

  • Only allow members with “Message of the Day” permissions to change the bank messages. Currently anyone who can deposit can change it.
  • Allow Guild Leaders to see when last a member has represented the Guild.
  • Allow Guild Leaders to see how much influence a member has contributed to the Guild.
  • Add more ranks!
  • Make it possible to EDIT the Message of the Day. Currently in order to edit it, you have to rewrite the whole message, every time.
  • The standard request for Guild Halls (and capes, I miss capes You could wear a cape without messing up your armour).

WvW Related

  • Maybe allow for some kind of Guild Commander book. Only guild members can see the badge and the commander can see all guild members (like with a party). This will help with a LOT with WvW coordination.
  • Some more visceral prestige for a guild performing well in WvW.

AOE and Portal Range

in WvW

Posted by: alexania.6203

alexania.6203

I don’t know if I was imagining things but last night it seemed that the AoE of attackers had a much longer range than I’m used to. They were able to spam AoE on the walls so far in that it wrapped around the INSIDE of the walls. Is that possible?

And then secondly, while we were defending an unbreached Bay, they managed to get an exit portal ON TOP OF THE WALL and swarm through without breaking down a wall/gate. Surely that shouldn’t be possible?

WvW Keep supply Exploit?

Hrm, was probably 140 then. The point is though, there was no dolyak dropping it off. The dolyak was miles away.

WvW Keep supply Exploit?

in WvW

Posted by: alexania.6203

alexania.6203

Hey guys, so we’re busy trying to get into a keep (which got up to max supply really quickly). They’re using supply to build siege and there’s one dolyak incoming. We own the other supply camp.

Suddenly way before the dolyak reached the keep (it had only just left the camp), the supply jumps up by 150.

Is this some kind of hack/exploit or is there some other way of getting supply into keeps that I don’t know about?
