Whenever I try to enter Tixx’s Infinirarium, I get an error box:

“The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. This is most commonly caused by firewall or router settings, security applications, or connecting through a campus network. For additional support, please visit http://support.guildwars2.com. (Code=19:9:18:1614:101)”

This makes no sense. I’m logged in, I can play. I’ve tried logging out and back in, etc.

Am I the only one really disappointed with the voice acting?

draeath.8536

The Norn voice acting in story cinematic is terrible. Sounds like people trying to speak with a lower tone than they can pull off.

Hint: don’t do that. Record normally, then use a VST that can do a formant shift to deepen the voice.

Swearing in private?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: draeath.8536

draeath.8536

Pretty much.

Look, it’s really simple. If you don’t want punitive action, DO NOT BREAK THE RULES.

If you can talk like an adult, you can act like one. “It’s only a crime if you don’t get caught” is false and immature. Breaking rules in private company is still rule-breaking.

When you signed up, you accepted a contract with ArenaNet in a form: They provide you access to the game, and you follow the terms and conditions in the AUP/TOS. If you violate said “contract” by violating these terms and conditions, then don’t be surprised when ArenaNet terminates their end of the contract in turn, by booting you from the service.

There it is for you – a nice cold shower of reality.

Dynamic ip problem

because router is reconnecting time to time and my internet provider will change it.

There is your problem and who you need to talk to to fix it.

You need to do this, first. If they can’t fix this in a timely manner, go here and create a ticket asking to have IP verification turned off.

Note it won’t be a priority, which is why I say talk to your ISP first. Besides, this shouldn’t be happening. Something is wrong, and the sooner you get them to fix it the better.

You are allowed to store account numbers and track data. The caveat is you have to do so securely. It’s not terribly hard to do.

The CVV2 is needed for the initial transaction only.

WvW fights involving at least 10 people on each side. Generally doesn’t happen unless my FPS drops and stays below 15. Haven’t had it happen to me without the low FPS. Once it’s triggered, FPS no longer matters.

90 is about normal for humans playing PC games.

Right now in game it feels like 60 something.

That was true in the Quake 3 days. It’s usually between 85 and 70 these days, because of widescreen monitors.

I like the thought.

At that point, people will do 4 things:

1. Beg
2. Try to crawl away or escape
3. Give up
4. Fight with every shred of life left in them

We are supposed to be heroic characters – hence our falling to #4 above. Leave 1 through 3 for the mobs and other NPCs.

I see some problems on the traceroutes. There are hops with 100% packet loss.

That’s not a problem. It only means those hosts’ firewalls are blocking ICMP.

Ah yes that makes sense as I see the subsequent hop. OK. Must be something else then.

Thank you for serving. I’d have done so myself if an ear implant wouldn’t have prevented it. Plenty of family members and friends have, though, so let them stand in my place.

Hopefully you get a response soon.

Meanwhile, get your machine checked for trojans/rootkits etc. Once you know it is clean, I recommend you make passwords unique between sites/applications. Programs like Keepass (I use this both in a personal and professional environment) make this practical.

Do note though if your computer itself is compromised, it’s already game-over and they’ll just steal the password safe once you enter your passphrase (and/or keyfiles) to unlock it.

Thanks. The presets allow you to get close to the look you want, the sliders allow you to mold that face fairly precisely. I was pretty methodical about it, with the eye size, slant, pupil size, nose bridge and width, mouth width and fullness, chin and cheeks. I literally spent 45 minutes in character creation making her just the way I wanted her to look.

I actually could have rolled with the one preset with the double creased line that runs across the nose and all the way down the face, I could have made that look sharp too. =)

Though I think the blues clash with the leather/earthy dyes on the armor – try giving it some blue on the accents? I think “Teal Jeans” (one of the ones you start with) would fit.

I was actually going to try that, I’ve gotten a ton of dyes that I haven’t messed with yet. I’m having a hard time moving off hte brown, it gives my character a ‘rangery’ feel, I also could have gone with brown and green like Robin Hood.

You sound just like me! I do the same thing. My friends think it’s silly, but then they are always impressed with the results.

I know what you mean about the rangery look. You saw my own screenshots above, right? Though, even when I do use colors I still try to keep straps/belts etc leather toned. I usually only put flashy colors on the trim.

Oh. Well. Sorry

But yes, you were on the money.

For the record: MasterCard has (recently – last few months) mandated that CVV2 codes be provided for card-not-present transactions. Merchants can still go without doing it, at the cost of downgrades – but if they keep doing it they are starting to get some nasty calls from their Merchant Services folks. I believe Visa has jumped on this boat as well. Discover too, but I’m less sure about them.

It’s always struck me as rather odd, that in games where you are capable of crafting some of the finest armor out there, you’re completely incapable of then repairing what you have made.

Tailors, Leatherworkers or Armorsmiths should really be able to do repairs on what they can make, although it should take some mats to do it.

As well, it should require a crafting station.

Even the most talented leatherworkers or armorsmiths need tools to do such work.
