My mesmer is currently bugged. I’ve noticed this change since the megaserver rollout.

When I try to cast certain skills (generally illusion/phantasm), my character goes through the animation, then experiences a phantom interrupt right before the skill is cast. I have to press my phantasm/illusion skills twice most of the time. This is really frustrating vs difficult opponents.

When I am downed, my stealth and teleport skill has the same problem. And when it does work, the stealth part is broken now.

Has been happening to me since long ago, but since the advent of Megaservers, almost all instances are fully crowded thus lag is getting longer. For a long time now I’ve been holding buttons to activate skills instead of pushing.

Thanks for the heads up. It is clearly lag. I’m not even sure if it’s a bug. Glad to see I’m not the only one. I caught somebody thinking that Liadri was causing this. I realized instantly it was the same problem I had

Bump. I’m still waiting. My support ticket was denied. I tried to say I was unsatisfied with the service by clicking a link provided. The link was broken. Must be like taking candy from a baby for Anet

You need considerably more than 30GB’s…
GW2 is 20GB, and as far as I am away Windows 7 and 8 both take up around 16GB of space.
So 36GB might just get you by, but you’re pushing it. 40-50 would be safer.

(Also, being a really nasty nitpicker here: irregardless is the most stupid word of all time ; it literally just means regardless . You may as well just say “regardless”. They only put irregardless in the dictionary because people don’t seem to understand how redundant of a word it is. Irregardless is actually incorrect english by modern standards.)

Not to be nitpick, but I corrected some grammar for you. Using a comma instead of a semicolon and run-on sentences are incorrect english by modern standards. Separate ideas need proper separation.

Also, yeah 50 gigs is safer. So what? That’s tiny. A 500 gig hard drive is 50 bucks nowadays. On most macs they are user replaceable.

How do you uninstall OSX client?

That is a good habit. When you download a program, you authorize it to make changes by typing in your administrator password. Some crapware out there will use these permissions to infiltrate every browser and make changes. Like installing an extension that changes your default search engine to yahoo (bitorrent does this), and your default search engine wont go away until all traces of the app do (including deleting the extension it installed).

However most apps like guild wars uninstall cleanly. I don’t recommend the use of 3rd party software to do it. Once you delete the major game files, the stuff left over in your libraries is maybe several megabytes of data. So insignificantly small that it is probably more convenient to leave it if you ever decide to reinstall guild wars

Apple computers are premium products. Their software is proprietary. Ever seen OSX run on a PC (it can be done…)? This is so they can keep their premium price on their product. And so more people have pc’s than macs because pc’s are cheaper. Fewer mac gamers means a smaller budget for Anet to work on the mac client. And sure, you can bash windows for being greedy, but Apple is just as bad because they jack the price up on your computer at least $1000.

There are two simple fixes. One is to buy a pc. They are cheap, you can run gw2 on a 400 dollar machine from Walmart….

The other is to dual boot Windows on your mac. With a student discount, its 80 bucks. It’s really really easy, and unless your computer was made in 2000, it shouldn’t be a problem. You only need to partition like 30 gigs of hard drive space, and you only need to use it to play guild wars.

No one can disagree that the mac support is lacking. But you can play the game most of the time. Compared to the downtimes experienced while i played D3 (this was irregardless of platform), the downtimes you get are literally nothing. I’m just grateful I can play this game on my mac. I just think it’s pointless to quit this game because you don’t like how it works on one platform when you are unwilling to try it on another.

Edit: Adesia, look at this link https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/members/CC-Danicia-1394/showposts

Danica has been doing a good job imo. Things have been running better since she came in. I’ll be kitten ed if Anet isn’t listening to us. You asked for more communication (I did, too). Guess what? We got it

1. Honesty. There is a list of known issues. In no part of that list is the trading post mentioned. Yet EVERY SINGLE (EXCLUDING NONE) mac user has this issue. So, why isn’t it listed? How can you attempt to fix problems if you fail to recognize them.

2. FIX THE TRADING POST ALREADY.

3. fix the trading post

4. the trading post is still broken. do something about it

5. TRADING POST

1. More fluid updates. Every time there is a major update, some major bug goes unchecked. It would be nice if you guys did the proper testing on the mac client before releasing the update. I understand that it has to be pushed out at the same time as the pc update. I dread even minor game changes because of the unforeseen consequences to us Macsters.

2. Performance issues. I feel like if I ran windows on my mac, the graphics would be able to go a lot higher. I don’t have a cheap system.

3. Client crashing. The game crashes a lot. Especially during world boss events and WvWvW where there are a lot of people in my vicinity, or when I am staring at really detailed scenery. Seems like a graphics issue

4. There is another graphics bug. Sometimes after a loading screen, the images and windows on the screen don’t display properly. I can’t see my toon’s skills, nor can I see the window to swap between fullscreen and window mode (this fixes this bug, but it’s hard to see sometimes)

5. Hire more people to help us out

Great job, Anet! Although the problem was totally solved quickly, haters gon’ hate. All they had to do was wait. I ran like 5 dungeons today. I got kicked a couple of times but nobody even cared. I just went back inside, wasted about 10 seconds. I didn’t lose any loot.

Exotic precursors

What is going to happen to “Exotic” level legendary precursors once the new line of ascended gear comes out?

Are they all going to be upgraded to ascended?

Are you going to scrap the old precursors and bring in a line of new Ascended precursors?

Are precursors going to stay at exotic rarity and still be used to craft legendaries?

I would like to thank the GW2 support team. I got an email response back. Wow, you guys are great. I was banned for a matter of minutes before someone took care of the problem. Given that I am the offender in this case, it’s pretty awesome that you guys took the time to help me deal with this. You could have just said too bad, you broke a rule, but you didn’t. Thanks for being willing to work with me

so yeah. i am currently banned for 3 days. i contacted support but i havent heard from them.

my character name could definitely be considered offensive. if i had understood what was going on, i would have changed it to something not offensive. i just wanted to play, i had no idea that my character name broke any rules. i have almost 250 hours logged on the character over 4 months. in that long amount of time, i was never hinted that my name was too offensive. i didn’t mean to break the rules; once i figured out that i shouldn’t have kept the same character name, i tried to correct it by contacting support right away.

anyways, if someone could please unban me, i will gladly change my character name to something totally unoffensive. tl;dr: i was unsure why i was told to change my character name. if i had known that i would have gladly renamed my character. i just want to play, i don’t want to offend anyone

edit: somehow im magically unbanned and i have a chance to rename my characters. thanks for bein understanding man up there behind the monitor

so i was told to change my toon name. i don’t really think it was all that offensive, but i dont think i have a choice in the matter here. i think its awesome that you offer a free name change as a warning, but i didnt realize at the time what was going on. so i re-entered my exact same name. my mistake, hope theres a way to take it back before i get banned for 3 days

it would be kinda nice if you could make it a little bit more clear as to why i had to change my name. if i had got a note saying, your previous name was too offensive, so you must rename it, i probably would have known what to do. but i would like a little more time to think of a new name for my toon.
