Guild Wars 2

I like the gliding. I’m a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!

I like how my Deadeye will have flying targets.

I like how Anet changed ballista skills making the first one you purchase – the anti gliding skill.

This is not a subscription based game. We don’t pay a month to month fee in addition to purchasing expacs like we do with other games. I’m good with things as they are, Anet.

I now have two characters that are stuck in the Verdant Brink: game crashes on login.
Prologues were completed and I was simply exploring the map when the issue began. I’m afraid to take anymore characters into the map.

The more I think about it the angrier I get. People demanding an apology from Anet for this prank claiming they lost loved ones to an airline tragedy. What is wrong with you people??? Why are you gaming when you should be grieving instead? Its like hearing someone say “My grandma died yesterday, think I’ll go to the movies.” The credibility is totally lost.

I don’t agree with all the whining about the April Fool’s joke; that whole thing is ridiculous. But you have absolutely no right to tell someone how they should choose to grieve or cope with grief. When my brother died last year, I played video games as a way to help me get through hard days. I also took my kids to see a movie to cheer us all up when we went back home for his funeral.

Being in mourning does not mean you have to become a shut-in who doesn’t participate in social activities.

I’ve suffered loss myself. No, I didn’t shut myself in and give up on life for good but I gave myself a break from certain activities while the pain was still fresh. Most importantly, I didn’t shame other people for going about their lives normally and amusing themselves. That’s what upsets me here. I’m calling into question why they should care about a game event at a time like this in their lives! Their fresh full of grief and they’re lashing out a insignificant things.

Maybe this is just me, but if I had recently lost someone to a tragedy the last thing I’d care about is something happening in a game. My priorities would be: seeking therapy and spending time with friends and family. Seriously, gaming wouldn’t even enter my mind.

I’m a leaf on the wind. Watch me soar.

I got sick and tired years ago of that wheezy, pretentious assumption that ‘MMO means you should have to group to do things’. I’d seriously love for that opinion to manifest in tangible form so I could beat it into an unrecognizable paste, preferably with something tactile and weighty. A shovel perhaps, or a crowbar…

You, sir, have eloquently summed up my feelings about MMOs. /bow

I confess…

• that I view players who roll nothing but human characters as dullards.

• my belief that Asura are the master race. This is so because they’re so kitten cute.

• I spent around $20 purchasing those restyling kits for my sylvari. Can’t make up my frakin mind how they should look!

• I take supply from keeps to build my own siege.

• I run full zerker builds & gear but refuse to join “zerker only” dungeon groups. I find I’m usually more at ease in the non zerker ones.

• I love the sound of my female Charr’s laughter and will /laugh at the most awkward moments.

• I run the princess doll mini just to hear her scream inside dungeons.

No.

Just… no!

Check your screenshot and make sure you have 175 points, if you do not then you didn’t actually come in first.

As for your character name… couldn’t anyone just add moonsugar.4793 to their friends list and watch you log in to see your character name(s)?

Didn’t want them to see that particular character.

I told support that I didn’t score 175 but they said it didn’t matter. They looked at the screen shot and they said I was in first place which meant I should have gotten the reward.

On 7/21/13 I won first place in the Sanctum Sprint but didn’t receive the title “Sanctum Sprinter”. Luckily, I had taken a screen shot of the score board with my name at the top of the list and I submitted to Anet support. I filed and in-game bug report as well. I’ve gotten no news other than a confirmation from support stating that I should have gotten the title.

Anyone else experiencing difficulty with this?

I’d post the screenshot but I don’t want all eyes to see my characters name. :P

Same here. Game has become completely unplayable. Lock ups have been getting steadily worse for the past month but after this patch it’s impossible to play.

Like the OP, I’ve tried uninstalling and doing a clean install of drivers but to no avail. I have an Nvidia card and I’m hearing disparaging news about the incompatibility of the product and this game. Also ran virus scans and defragged hard drive. No help at all.
