Guild Wars 2

I loved the Raptor mount and I think it’s great that we can tint it to make it slightly personalised.

But the unidentified loot? No. I understand you are trying to avoid the inventory disaster from the HoT era but…

No one likes to pay to look at their loot.

If you want to know where something is, or where to get something, it’s always worth searching the wiki…

how about a Tab instead, Daytime / Night Time / Location and a bunch of self made selections list of looks below them, you could even do it by season or festival too.

A bunch of tabs with different looks would be awesome. This is one of the few features I miss from SWTOR.

The outfit designer in SWTOR worked because you could buy multiple tabs (up to 16 tabs using either in-game credits or cartel coins) and then you could easily flick between any look you had created in a tab at any time for no cost.

Popping to Hoth? Cold-weather gear. Stranded on Tatooine? Bikini time! Easy as pie.

I’ve just logged a bug for this. I’ve run circles round this guy for half an hour now with my “allies” all standing around like lemons and the Modrem Predator seemingly randomly resetting his health when I’ve gotten anywhere near killing him.
So frustrating and blocking me from completing the story.

So it’s two years after the first post but if you use the dimensional anchor too many times attacking the golems it goes away and you are left with exiting the instance and restarting.

Still bugged, three years later…

/sigh

Are your criticisms mostly being leveled at the personal story and cinematic conversations, or also with the ambient scenes and events?

Coming from SWTOR, the voices in the story and quest cut scenes in GW2 were disappointing. It feels less like top grade voice artists and more like random people just reading off a script.

Some scenes/actors are better than others, but most don’t reach anything like the authenticity of even the lowliest of SWTOR’s side-quests. On the other hand, I guess the difference in budget has to show somewhere right?

I love the rest of this game, this was just the first thing that stuck out at me when I first played GW2.

I also wanted space to put comments at the end of the survey.

Unlike the OP, I really enjoyed the one-time event. I like that you create a reason for new content to appear in the world rather than just patch it in and leave.

I did want to comment on the more technical problems with the event however. It seems that weeks/months of fixing problems with dynamic events and heart tasks not resetting properly hasn’t taught the dev team anything. The event was spoiled by quest lines blocked by bugged NPCs that really you should be able to code properly by now.

Also, I wanted to question the wisdom of having a free trial weekend at the same time as a very limited time world event. The extra influx of players this caused probably contributed to the terrible lag conditions experienced on the Friday and to a lesser extent on the Saturday. As many people have shared, the big Friday event opener in Lions Arch was totally unplayable as you fought both the server lag and the culling effects which resulted in being killed by monsters you couldn’t see while trying to trigger powers that never fired.

Trying to cram all this in to a single 3 day event meant that I guess your support and dev teams didn’t get much sleep and a large percentage of the player base were unable to attend. I hope in future events you space things out a little more and allow all parties a little more breathing room.

This happened to me the other day. I managed to run back the the catapult, get back in it and then leave it again and the camera was back to normal.

Good to hear it’s being fixed though.

A new stat for gating content, no thanks. It’s already a failed idea.

Yes to new content.
Yes to new cosmetic gear.
No to new gear tier.
No to gated content through required infusions.

According to the wiki, shift+print screen should take a screenshot without the UI. This doesn’t work for me and I can’t see if this has been unbound somehow because the function is not in the options dialog.

I can keybind screenshot and stereoscopic screenshot, but not screenshot without UI.

Please can you add this into the keybind dialog.

Thanks.

The amazing Dulfy has a visual reference for the crafted armours on her site:

I get that error quite often when logging into the forums. A second attempt usually works though.

(I’m also using Chrome if that matters, but it looks like a server-side error to me)

I could see the implementation of an additional slot or two, but not for utility skills. Rather, I could see them use it for things like Consumables or Boosters. That way, if a consumable somehow runs out during combat, it could be reapplied easily without having someone dig through their inventory to find that stack of consumables in a sea full of vendor-trash.

I was thinking this the other day having looked into cooking on one of my alts. It would be awesome to have a quickslot bar for consumables. It’s a pain having to rummage around in your bags just to click on some food or a booster.

If you read Mike O’Brien’s blog post on security he says they are working on integrating Google Authenticator into the login in the next couple of weeks.

We know customers also want a native implementation of two-factor authentication, and we want it too. This is an area where we should act faster as a company, and we’re going to. We had our own homegrown implementation of smartphone two-factor authenticator in testing, but we’re going to pull it back and instead integrate Guild Wars 2 with Google Authenticator, which already has robust authenticator implementations on most major smartphone platforms. We expect to roll this out in the next two weeks.

I would think, that with a chargeback, the account would just be suspended until it is paid or whatever. That’s what most other games have done. It’d really suck if there was some misunderstanding, and then a persons entire account was deleted just because of, that, and they would have to start all over, wasting hundreds or thousands of hours…

I don’t know if Anet’s stance is any different but NCSoft’s policy on chargebacks, certainly on City of Heroes, was to permaban the account. Personally I’d wait for a CSM guy to respond to the ticket and get it resolve slightly more amicably.
