Guild Wars 2

Logged on to confirm this. Map completion not possible now.

thanks for the answere.
Now i know i dont have to delete any of my characters to play the revenant.

Ordering atm.

I read somewhere that people who had a gw2 game account active before 23 January, 2015, will get a free character slot when pre-purchasing HoT.

Question 1:
If i buy the basic game (45€) today from GW2 official site do i still get the character slot?

Question 2:
If i buy the deluxe game (75€) do i get 2 character slots? ( 1 because deluxe and 1 because i had a gw2 account before 23 Jan)

ty

I have multiple characters that i use for different objectives:

My main: Guardian.

On my guardian i play WvW, Dungeons, PvE, Worldbosses.
Getting the best gear for her.

Other charachters:

Warrior: If a dungeon group needs a warrior or for WvW.
Thief: If a dungeon group need a thief or for WvW roaming.
Ranger: Just for the really nice combination in armor + longbow+ pet to go afk..

If you want to go with one character only and you are used to play with different characters you will eventually start a new character or go back to your old chars. Even if its just for fun.

my advise: Do whatever the meoww you like! Why force something on yourself if that’s not your playstyle?

This is a very nice suggestion!

Right now most people go to a merchant and click “sell junk” to get rid of these items.
Why not give them a reason to be in this game instead of being just “junk”.

It will however turn into a grindfest if the armor is unique and it will only be unique for about 1 week. After that everyone could have farmed it. They could also give another option like: bandits drop lockpicks — lockpick collector lives near the mountains and his normal job is mining — He needs alot broken lockpicks and is willing to trade ore for it. 10 broken lockpicks is 4 copper ore or 2 iron ore.

What they could also do is that the lockpick collectors wife needs lockpicks to buy clothes to make linen or wool or cotton. The collector doesn’t have enough time to gather those lockpicks and is willing to trade this crafting material for the lockpicks. This way the price of wool and cotton can go down to a normal price.

Just an idea… but i love the idea of not getting “junk” but potential better items/gear.

Two-Factor (Mobile) Authentication

With e-mail authentication in place, you can further protect your account by setting up two-factor authentication on your game account. This system will challenge any game log-in attempt from a new location, and you’ll be required to approve access using a code provided through your mobile device before you can get into the game.

If your e-mail provider offers two-factor authentication, you might consider adding that system to your e-mail account, as well.

You can enable two-factor authentication for Guild Wars 2 on the official website, at My Account > Security.

Quick Tip: Add Two-Factor Authentication for an extra layer of security.

I use this and i have a program called KeePass. I dont know if i’m allowed to mention this here but its a program that helps you save passwords. You have 1 file that can only be opened by 1 MAIN password. ( Do NOT forget this password)

This program can create a Unique password of all different kind of characters and numbers randomly so hackers can’t try with full words like fish1tree. It will create something random like Bhj5xTYqer12LMeM but way longer. Hackers might try to hack the account but will not succeed because they will need a supercomputer + ALOT of time to guess the password. I use this program so i’m able to use all different kind of passwords and not have 1 password for everything.

Hope you get your account back!

I have 9 characters at 80. 1 Main and 2 alts. The rest is just to store items on i don´t use often.

Main used for dungeons/world bosses/WvW/PvP

Alts used for Dungeons if my main class is not asked for but my alt class is.
and for PvP so i dont Always play 1 class.

It is a bit of a waste but its a game.

The Birthday Vendor is an NPC located in Lion’s Arch’s Grand Piazza, to the northwest of Lion’s Court. Characters that are at least one year of age can speak with her to be awarded the Loyal title, the first tier on the birthday achievement track.

Title:
Loyal Have a character reach 365 days old. Use /age to check age

Like the other posters already mentioned:
Power = main stat
precision and ferocity = secundary stats

For more information on play styles/traits/skills/weapons read this guide by Obal: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Guide-DPS-Guardian-for-PVE/first

This covers everything you need to know. Even food types that you should use to maximize dmg output.

DesertRose.2031:

Before you spend too much time on your “DPS Guardian” realize that it will be expected from Guardians to bring defensive support in group play.

This is not entirely true. The guardian is expected to bring some sort of defence in some situations like stability or reflect. When i run dungeons with zerk groups i never bring party healing. Because everyone is Berzerker (most of the time) monsters drop like flies. you should have enough with 3 aegis. Guardians just need to know what enemy does most damage with what skill and aegis on these skills.

After ALOT dungeon runs defensive support is not required most of the time. And gear doesn’t change the duration of wall or hollowed ground..

Solved. within 48 hours!! Thanks again.

Can be closed now;)

Thank you for your response Gaile. I was thinking about charging back but i won’t do that now.

I just checked PayPal and both payments are “completed” and my bank account is also “completed” however i only miss 50€ from my bank. There is however a delayed payment of €50 a week after the purchase (wich i could cancel but won’t do now)

I’ll wait for support to answere and check the problem. I know next time i use Ideal instead of PayPal.

1 extra note: Best support team i ever encountered! ty

UPDATE:

Just checked my PayPal. Both payments where made and already refunded. I dont have an official reaction from Anet yet but if this is true its not only the best but also the fastest support team in my gaming history (this is not so big xD)

Well i do keep them right now. I don’t want to spend gems that are not mine because of the risk of being banned. Seen it 1 time before with some1 who spend the gems but his bank didnt pay correctly. he got banned with a message that account could not be restored.

I don’t want to risk this so untill Anet solved this i will not spend any of the gems

And i did check what it would get me in gold and that was just over 1000G. Not worth a ban.

Can someone from Anet reassure me that i wont be banned?

Explanation:

I tried to buy gems (4000 – €50.00)

After confirming everything with paypal i get a window with a text that someone or something is unable to complete the process. with a big red button to go to support.

Im like hmm ok something must have gone wrong ill just try it again since my money was still in my bank account.

I try again and same window pops up. At this moment im like hmm weird. maybe this is a problem with paypal…

So i try it with my normal bank with Ideal. Directly after Ideal confirmation i see a window with payment succeeded.

At this point im happy and go back to GW2 to check my gem total. This went up with 12000 (2x paypal 1x Ideal) even when paypal gave me a failed message 2 times.

Since i only want to buy 4000 gems can someone of the devs please make sure this is being corrected since my bank account only went down €50 and not € 150 so i’m a little scared i get a ban now :S

thiagoperne.7340:

Hi Anet I have 4x[250 Essence of Luck], Can I use them by clicking only 4 times instead of ONE THOUSAND CLICKS!!!?

signed!!!

Give us use all option! or use X number and let us manualy give a number.

Manual numbers also on merchant!!

I do agree with you that too much of something is a bad thing. I found myself lost and failing jumps the first day but after playing the content a bit longer it wasn’t all that bad.

The many events and the crowded map makes it fun for me. I’ve been helping alot of people that fell to their death and receiving many kind words for it. The jumping is, when you know the path, VERY easy and done in minutes. After divers platform (where alot of mesmers camp) and the JP you don’t have alot jumping left.

Also it’s day 3 after the update…. Give them time to roll-out the rest of the content they have planned for us. It’s very likely most people don’t go back to the map when more zones open up.

Ok no troll totally serious!!!

1. Rare weapons get same droprate as greens, Exotics same as rare now, Legendarys get the droprate of now precursors.
2. Every armor get a cape connected to it that can’t be hidden.
3. Remove greatswords and replace with pikes/polearms.
4. Every professions gets acces to shields and all shields get a 10 sec blocking skill with 15 sec cooldown.
5. Monsters drop gold instead of silver. (1s now —> after patch 1G)
6. dungeon party limit raised to 15 so no elitism anymore.
7. all armor stats get removed and every1 gets same stats.
8. Not only perma stealth for guards but also for warriors while channeling a 100blades that causes criple (maybe even immobile) and stealth ends after the 100b.
9. undead as playable race
10. Ranger get heatseaking arrows that are unblockable and do 50% more dmg. the pets are invulnurable as long as they are attacking.

now for real:
1. More communication from Anet. I think we all want some information about whats gonne happen in the near future.

Im not a big hoarder and i have 500+ of both and making something with it almost weekly. Dont just only gather it. Also salvage for it and sell the T5 on TP and buy T6 with the money. Within a week or 2 you’ll have 250+

Or go for other expensive skins?
infinite light?
mjolnirr?
Foefire weapons?
Vulcanus?

If you only aim at legendarys i would also say jugger for warrior.

good luck

Hey,

If you are new the system might be hard te grasp but there is a very nice tool to know which boss is up and when.

http://dulfy.net/2014/04/23/event-timer/

This page shows the current boss + the next boss.

As you can see there are codes like this [&BPwAAAA=] in the window also. Copy/Paste those in the chat window to get a direct link to the nearest waypoint.

Good luck and happy hunting!

I have limited time playing and i always do and try to find a party that does them all so i dont have to LFG after each path.
AC123
CoF12
HotW1
CoE123

After this my time is usually up. I also ended up meeting some people that also do this daily and we sometimes party again so it gets more efficient over time.

But like Jerus already posted, those are the easiest/fastest paths.

Im not saying proud of 1 hour AC. i was more reffering to 5 zerk 80’s fail at kholer and 4 not 80’s + 1 80 can do it.. In my vision those zerkers should not be proud.

And within 1 hour means <60 minutes so can also be 45 minutes…

Yesterday I joined a AC P1+3 run. LFG message was “EXP only 80 6k+ap zerk”. I have this all and hoped to have 2 very quick runs so i can do some more dungeons at one evening.

Well spider queen went down easy… Gravelings died pretty slow… Kholer… 4 complete whipes….

I left because everyone was accusing eachother and i joined another group. “need exp and 80 please”. I joined and found myself in a group with a lvl 36, 43, 66 and 71. I thought with myself, lets see how this goes and if they fail i can Always leave. Ended up being a perfect clean run with no deads and everyone knowing what to do!! I didn’t time the runs but ended up completing all 3 paths (instead of 2) within 1 hour!!!

Zerg gear is not everything!

sign me up as a student! PM me for extra information if needed.

Im looking for teaching in arah, FotM, CM and a little tweaking in SE and CoE.

full exotic zerker gear, ts3 (only listen).

In for AC full, CoF 1,2 , CoE full, HotW 1, SE P1,2 if anyone wants or needs an extra guardian. just PM me ingame when im online.

timezone: GMT+1

I’m not a pro PvP player but started to play recently and really like it. when i heard of this change the only things i wanted to know are:
1) What happens when you have glory when this kicks in? 100% remove 0% compensation?
2) glory boosters will those be compensated?
(most important in my eyes) RANK
3) will it be removed or does it stay?
4) will unlimited finishers still be attainable?
5) If not what will happen to this?

rank is most important in my eyes because of the gw1 fame. I loved to HA and get higher rank only to have an emote. got it up to 11.. now in gw2 i also want a nice emote! (wolf/tiger/shark)

or hi-jack a aetherblade airship and fly us to kamadan! the new place to talk and hang out in this sunny city!

check your PM

Yes, I also did it multiple times

Made a thief at day 1 of headstart. leveled it to 80 but choose vigil. After 1 month I thought it was not correct and it should be order of wisp. started new toon and level to 80. (2 thiefs) between that i made a war and made it priory. Same problem… should be vigil… remade and got a vigil. Then i made a guardian. heavy armor caster so my choice was priory again but after 1 month i liked guardian with vigil armor (didnt know about the transmutation trick yet. so started a new guard.

Now hitting 1000 hours mark i have 2 thiefs. (1 for PvP 1 for PvE my main)
2 wars (both for farming and dont play them alot)
1 guard (deleted the first guard and have the other as my main to fully outfit)

For me it was the choise of order that made me make new characters of the same profession. Had fun with them!

conclusion: if you like it, just do it!

Hi all,

Since suggestion forum is gone ill post this here.

What about Anet gives us the option to arrange our friendlist?

Create a sub catagory: Dungeons so we can place all people we met in dungeons and are up for some more runs in 1 tab. Easy to find!

Sub catagory fractals: Friends who love to do fractals

Sub catagory guild missions: Friends who want to do guild missions but are in another guild that’s to small.

These are just some examples, the subcatagorys should be changeable by the player. This way its easier to meet new people and order them in the friendlist. Give us like five (5) tabs that we can change the name of?

I know this is not something that’s a must have at the moment but what do you think about this?

Sorry if suggested before. ( Or already ingame… I never found it if it’s in)

Don’t implement DC = restart. Logging out = restart. People with limited playing time get left out. But i agree on the “final HM GW1 quest” difficulty!

like i said its monday afternoon so i still ahve to wake up;) i never played WoW so i dont know what you are pointing at. I know its almost same as but its just a thought. You can most likely think about 50 other ways of implementing this.

@vayne, you are right it would be to much work.

ok then there is a guide. but it should cost atleast 100g to complete the precursor.
its stats are exotic and its account bound. it takes atleast 20 hours (i would like to see something more like 40 hours). so you basically get a weapon thats the same as TP 2G weapon. but for getting a legendary this is more fun imo. You cant do it for profit and getting 10 precursors has no extra benefit because crafting legendary still cost alot!

i agree its not hard but atleast more fun and less RNG

With option of guild trim for alot of gold or influence! get bronze trim first, then get option of silver trim, then option of gold trim. after gold trim guild can change to 15 different trim colors when they want for a small fee.

AND make the precursors ACCOUNT bound! not tradeable.
And please no quest of : kill 100 of A and 175 of B.
Make it more like e.g.: You go lornars pass, find a NPC that knows about some treasure but doesnt have money to buy a proper coat to go into the cold. You kill 100 enemies with fur skins. Get those skins (50% chance to drop) and get to a crafting station to make coat. bring coat to te NPC and instance start to escort the NPC so open world cant make it to easy. In the end the treasure is a weird recipe to make 1 piece of precursor, or magical token that turns an exotic weapon into a piece (1/4) of a precursor. Or just the part of the precursor. This can be 1 of the 10 different tasks you can complete or every quest gives specific part of one precursor?

Just a tought on a monday afternoon so its not that great but more fun as craft this, craft that..

Exectly!! completely agree with you.

I miss those times alot. It was so fun to do daily GvG.
Best match i ever had was my guild ranked top 100 vs a top 5 guild. Both balanced team build. Both fighting without really killing anything. I hear leader calling a spike on the enemy mesmer over teamspeak, first thing i’m thinking as interupt ranger, find the monk!! found him in time and 1 second after spike… D-shot and got it!! WoH down for 20 second. I scream in my mic about this matchchanging happening. Our leader understood what needed to happen. Unleash hell upon the enemy. The next 30 seconds the match was decided and we rolled the enemy. Spltting was of no use and we countered that easily. Flag control was in our hands and we just kept splitting to kill npc’s and fight it out till VoD.
After the match we PMed the enemy team and guested them to our guildhall. Just chatting and talking tactics while observing the match.

1 skill could mess up a match or make the match if cast on the right time, on the right target in the right location.
To bad we don’t have halls and this kind of PvP in gw2:(
But i’ll never forget!

Well I am not really into 1v1 but why not add it in open world? If you dont like it don’t do it, it’s not like if they add it you are forced to PvP…

Make it that both people need to send eachother 1V1 request before anything pops up so people that don’t want it don’t get popups all the time and Disable downed mode in openworld 1v1.(battle ends if 1 of both reach 1HP) and make it only possible out of combat. Getting hit by a mob stops the match.

This gives everyone PvP option but doesn’t force anyone to do it..

Stop saying “no… PvP arena… WvW map…” because those are options and not real solutions for someone requesting openworld PvP. Those people know about the PvP zones..

running from pagga’s waypoint towards the waterfall gives you 2 options. jump in the water or on some ledge to enter a tunnel halway down in the mountain. this second option is what you wanna go for. there is 1 possible ori location there. the other just is at the end of the tunnel but needs 1 tricky jump.

Different characters YES, however only by placing it in the bank. (account bound)
Different accounts NO, if an item is account or soulbound it cant be mailed or sold on trading post. I don’t get it why a lvl 63 would have 2 accounts so im going with the most likely outcome. The item is soulbound because you used it or upgraded it. since its soulbound only that character can use it and noone else!

Mailing another character of you doesnt work either because you basically mail the same character. (mails are also account bound!) So place items in bank. (found in every major city with some kind of money bag as symbol.

Í’m in the same situation as you. got all gifts except T6 mats and precursor.

What I am doing is farming the T6 mats and buying them so i got those to 250. when you start farming for precursor after you can also sell T6 mats which will boost your gold/hour.

By the time you farmed all T6 mats precursor crafting will be here. (atleast i hope its here soon)

Romek.4201:

or just craft ectos and salvage and you have this mf faster and it dont need hours per day^^ and make the profit when start selling alle green^^

This is a very fast method of gaining MF but it costs pretty much. I did 4x 250 ecto, i know small sample and the outcome was like this
100E was around 11k luck
100E gave around 7.5G loss after selling dust
with ecto ~30s and dust ~16s

0-300 would cost 2000g+ this way and is not very profitable… i dont wanna know the time it takes to make 2Kg with playing the game on max MF..

so this is a very viable method

DON’T open the link!

Never ever open a link in a mail unless you are sure its safe. I use internet explorer (so i don’t know if other browsers have the same option) and when i hover the mouse over the link it will show the whole adress where you will be send IF you click it (DONT CLICK).

99 out of the 100 mails i got from “noreply(at)gw2(dot)com” would send me to asian pages. And i bet those sites have: keyloggers, trojan horses, instant downloaded spy software and any other …ware you can think of.

Click this link and you WILL lose your account eventually.. And if this happens you should be happy if the gw2 account is the only thing you will lose.. so to repeat DON’T CLICK THOSE LINKS EVER

Last update (12-11-2013) Gw2 made the change to have unlimited gathering tools account bound (1000 gems) instead of the old soulbound version (800 gems).

I really like this change and i think most people are more then happy with this change.

There is a post on the forums with someone having 23 tools or something, https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/where-do-i-sell-my-23-unlimited-gather-tools , and Gaile said he could file a support ticket to get a refund or something.

Now my suggestion: How about adding a sell tab to the weapon specialist or adding a whole new NPC to sell unlimited gathering tools too? soulbound version sell for 800 gems and account bound also sell for 800 gems. Or make it 600 gems for both versions.

This way people can always buy infinite tools and if they need gems for something else they can sell their tools for a loss.

Also this will make the job of the support team ALOT easier so they can focus on hacked accounts or something with more importance.

TL;DR : NPC to sell unlimited gathering tools to for a small loss of gems so support can focus on more important tickets.

discuss

This has been requested since before launch. The problem here is, just as in GW1, that it has ALOT of clipping issues.
They will most likely not add this to the game.

However, I also want capes!!

Well forgetting all rules and User’s agreement for a second.

Your kids would do well on a warrior (easy to play, have passive healing so they die less often) or ranger for the pet because kids tend to like pets. those pets don’t really die, their health drops to 0 and they come walking back to you. This is also pretty child friendly.

I don’t like to run to much low armor classes so i would go for war/guard/ele. Nice dmg, good AoE, alot of boons. I would never choose engi because i really dislike that profession, it just doesn’t work for me.

rhapsody.3615:

nightly.2761:

so it is possible to unsoulbound a legendary?

No. The best you can do is account bound to give it to another character.

Tnx for clearing this up for me!

they did a post some time ago that the new fractal ellen kiel promised is not forgotten and will be added.
the new skills is added with last LS content and december 10th will have another balance update.
precursor crafting will probably not be ready 2013. however it would be an awsome christmas gift!!
PvP will probably not reward precursors but legendarys directly, however getting those will need a very high rank and is not obtainable quick.

atleast this is what i understand out of the info they gave us.

so it is possible to unsoulbound a legendary?

Depends on what your goals are. My goal is to get 150% MF (without guild/food buff). This way i can up my MF on every character to 200% with buffs and food. After that i’ll sell all greens and salvage the blues. I’ll slowly get more MF and get the money of the greens to buy nice stuff.

But everyone has a different goal so it’s pretty much a personal decision.

Thanks devs for cleaning up the post, I cleaned my unnecessary posts too.
Thanks stinvec for your responce, cleared it up for me and i hope for other players too.

It’s not a really big bug and maybe you already know it.

The heart quest in queensdale — township of claypool — Train with the militia.

Sergeant Neal and Sergeant Liddy don’t move.

completing this heart with sword is easy now and completing it with shield is impossible.
