Guild Wars 2

I finished Chuka & Champawat last night, I’m by no means a WvW player by any stretch of the imagination (only rank 124 after five years playing). But it only took me two days to complete the track. Rather pale in comparison to some of the stuff I had to do in PvE to get it.

If you submit a ticket, you can reply to the automated response to attach a screenshot as well. Right-click report is usually enough though, they will see the chat logs.

I’d rather be hit on for playing a female toon than psychoanalysed.

Fallesafe.5932:

Guys who play female characters are just feminine men in RL (which is fine I guess).

Every single one? How do you know this? Does this mean that all humans that play Charr are feline humans?

I have roughly 50% of each gender. I even RP on an opposite gender toon. The trick is to remember it’s a character, not you!

Selling my loot to vendor for two months before discovering the Trading Post back in 2012.

I googled Fion and all the results were a popular Wine Bar Company in the US. I guess you should send them complaints as well since they have street signs.

Also this game is in English so it’s not using French words. People complained before cus of a name that meant something else in Spanish, but it’s not in Spanish so it doesn’t matter. Complaint amounted to nothing.

Actually the game isn’t ‘English’ it’s an international game. People with inappropriate names in languages such as Polish and Hungarian, not to mention the four supported languages (French and Spanish being two of them), have been forced to change in the past.

Those cases are due to people directly using foreign words to bypass the filter. That doesn’t apply when the name in question is a legitimate name that happens to have the same spelling as an inappropriate word in another language.

My point was the game isn’t ‘English’ not sure why you had to explain that to me.

Edit: For some reason I thought your character was Asura not human as I only looked at the thumbnail and didn’t click on it to enlarge. Sorry about that.

CETheLucid.3964:

Coming up with names isn’t that hard. There’s about a dozen GW2 name generators out there. No imagination required. No excuse.

Quit trying to name your characters after drugs and dirty jokes and you won’t have to worry about it.

They were just asking a question. At least they had the decency to ask first rather than just go with it rather then cry afterwards on the forums when getting a forced name change/ban.

The new role-play chat will only hinder role-play, as it will divide the base between those who will use it, and those who are too used to using /say chat. There’s nothing wrong with using /say chat for role-play, as most decent role-players already know to keep ERP out of the public domain.

I do agree that the emote range needs to be shortened though.

Richt-Click > Botting should work too for 3rd party software.

“Sought after names” like Gandalf & Jon Snow? How about picking something a little more original?

I disagree that names should be wiped. ArenaNet are kind in that they understand that sometimes someone might not be able to log into the game for a while, or want a break from GW2 etc so they don’t do it. Probably never will.

Also, you can never be 100% certain these characters haven’t logged in. They could be coming online as invisible, which won’t show up on your system of checking (I’m assuming you’re adding them to your guild to see when last logged).

Map completion is fine as it is. It’s certainly a lot better than it was in GW1 when you had to ‘un-fuzz’ every singe pixel.

It will affect your ability to play Guild Wars since HoT is tied with the original GW2 as well. You can try deleting everything then re-install with a new F2P account, but I think it’ll still have HoT, or at least some HoT elements with it.

Having same issue. Just randomly stops recognising the keyboard altogether. Only way to fix it is to close the entire client and re-open.

Please make sure the 64 bit client is stable by then, on behalf of all Mac players who purchased PoF before this announcement was made.

I reckon it was Scarlet Briar instead.

You can use an apple one for free if you don’t like the price.

Mentor tag doesn’t work in WvW.

I know.

You can use an apple one for free if you don’t like the price.

You can hover over the symbols in the top left corner when you open the map, they will highlight any undiscovered Points of Interest, Waypoints etc when you hover over each of the symbol. If there are any of these in undiscovered areas (areas not uncovered in the map that is) it will direct you to the scout that you can talk to to direct you close to these areas.

Alternatively, there’s also the Content Guide, which will act like a compass as you travel through each map, showing you not just Points of Interest and Waypoints and stuff, but also undiscovered areas.

You can access the content guide in options. It’s set to ‘off’ by default.

You’re rich when you can’t think of anything you need a certain currency for anymore. That could be 300 gold or 3,000 gold. Or 0 gold and 12 Black Lion Claim Tickets.

I think last week someone also asked why didn’t they give us the price of the expac as well. I think this is evidence we’re relying too much on leaks and data mining these days for our news.

1,500 hours? I’ve got nearly 18,500 hours under my belt and still haven’t had one drop, yet I’m not complaining. RNG isn’t about being entitled to something due to time served.

SmirkDog.3160:

And doesn’t Artificer use essences of luck?

Yeah but as far as I’m aware, it just makes smaller lumps of luck into larger lumps of luck of the same value.

I managed alright. Finished it all with no problems. Probably doesn’t affect everyone. So my advice is to at least try it rather than avoid it.

Wallets at the ready!

nope, i bought gw2 i was happy with pve / wvw / spvp
i bought HoT i disliked PvE so much with so much focus on gliding and no more amazing events like cursed shore all farming came from freaking glide events i felt like whole map is build up in 2D super mario bro’s cus by walking u get nowhere everything is blocked off by walls and u gotta glide/use mushrooms or w/e to get around.
sPvP i started to dislike that pre hot already
WvW i still like it even tho these stupid HoT new builds kinda made WvW bit boring if u ask me.

so unless they can fix atleast freaking PvE maps to be OPEN and not closed by 100 walls and forcing u to use stupid jump mushrooms and glide then i would buy it but not for crap maps they have been doing lately (and no i didnt unlock all maps i just unlocked frostbite or w/e name is and that new map from today?) that is it i guess ah and that kittenty map that has endless floating little island everywhere worst kitten ever seen in my life

Erm…. ok?

Wallets at the ready!

Pre-Order February?

Arnox.5128:

nottsgman.8206:

could you imagine the abuse this could bring?

imagine someone has a character named Jack, and someone else decides they don’t like the person behind Jack, so they make a character of the same name and then proceeds to be an absolute kitten to everyone, while pretending to be the original Jack. a lot of people then turn on the original Jack for being like that.

First of all, you need to waste an entire character slot just to make that character. THEN you gotta go through the entire tutorial over again. And then you have to finally go to… Somewhere and then be the jerk. Oh, and you’re going to have to have:

1. The same level as the person.
2. The same title.
3. The same minis.
4. The same guild.

Now here’s the thing. You can still kinda do that even now because again, you make a toon name with accented characters. And the two very slightly different names will most likely blur into one in people’s minds.

This has actually happened to me with the current model, except luckily people knew it wasn’t me because of an accented í or something.

Now imagine the same scenario but everyone can mimic other characters exactly.

No thanks.

What if the ‘o’ stands for ‘on’ instead?

Hi,

Today I was taking on a champ in Iron Marches, and noticed that after I was downed but rallied (after killing a normal branded creature) my initiative went down from 15 to 12, even though my traits (namely ‘Preparedness’ in Trickery) were unchanged.

It fixed itself when I used a WP (and imagine it would if you log out and back in again) but that isn’t exactly ideal when you’re mid-combat. I couldn’t tell if any other traits were affected, possibly so. Any chance to look into this?

I think the majority of the issue can be resolved easily if not every part of the mountains was grey-brown. Make some of it green, light-brown, beige or white (depending on zone) so it at least doesn’t appear too square.

Radiobiology.6185:

Okay, so i know i will be flamed for creating this thread seeing as you get flamed for anything that can even be slightly percieved as negative about the game. But rest assured pro-arena net lobby, i do love this game and will keep loving it for years to come, so with that out of the way, lets get to it.

You didn’t really need to write this bit tbh.

Hero challenges that don’t require groups.

That’s about it from me.

Words are words, they have to choose one. Why is [Might] not called [Strength]? Why is [Fury] not called [Anger]? And so on..

Also, there’s a thief skill already called [Haste].

You’ve made thousands of people happy. Thank you ArenaNet! <3

First thing I’ll say is the TP and Gem Store works a lot faster, and the graphics even on the same settings I had before seem better.

To clear the cache for Mac, go to your desktop, making sure it’s got ‘Finder’ next to the apple symbol.

Hold [Alt] and select ‘Go’ dropdown menu. When you hold [Alt] whilst doing this, a ‘hidden’ menu should appear called Library. Click that, then find the folder ‘Caches’.

In that folder should be another folder called com.transgaming.guildwars2. If you drag that folder to the trash can, it should fix the TP problem.

Glouryian.3765:

I sure do, but “working on” and “here it is” are very far away from each other. So far we have seen nothing of it.

They’ve been keeping us up to date with the progress on reddit AMA posts. The reason they won’t say much is because they don’t want to over-promise and under-deliver.

Glouryian.3765:

Hello good Madams and Sirs,

I am utterly upset that still after almost five years there still is no suitable solution for Mac users to play with. I recently bought myself an iMac 5k with a m395x and the gaming experience is even worse than with my 2012 Macbook Retina.

Even though the graphics dont hold any challenge to the new system at all the client keeps crashing and by all means crashing a lot. It crashes when I open the map, it crashes when more than five characters appear on screen, sometimes if I move even, it crashes with high settings, with low settings, on low and high resolution and there is nothing I can do about it.

It is making me angry that this still is happening, in a game about five years old, since than advertised to be suitable for Mac users and no, it is not! Mac users like me belong to your most loyal fanbase, against all odds I still kept playing the game, investing my money, my time and have been patient with you and your continuing promises of improvement – if you even answered at all -, which never happened. You even closed the Mac subforum and still there is the big BETA sign on top of the client and is making me sick!

This is false advertising, broken promises and most of all a betrayal to all those who believed and still kept investing into the game. We even continuously listened to those who blamed US, because we were the ones after all not buying a different system just to play one game which was promised to us as being playable on a Mac system. I am tired of explaining my guild members and online friends again and again why my game crashed, why I cant play with higher character details even though my system is more than up to it, why I still cant open the Blacklion Shop sometimes.

And I am tired of lousy excuses and vague answers and I am not alone. I am not asking anymore for advice or if there will ever be any hope for us or if you even care at all. Because you answered, you answered by doing nothing for five years, you even managed to create a 64bit client in the meantime and for us nothing changed.

Its up to you now – deliver or lose. Simple as that.

I don’t know if you know, but they’re working on a Native Mac Client.

Punish the players breaking the rules, not the ones following them.

As it appears to be Mac Client specific, I’ve edited the topic title.

Equinox.9815:

yes it is realy anoying too happened since new patch

You wouldn’t happen to be on the Mac Client too, would you?

Here’s another example, from my usual AFK spot, the Aesthetician [Makeover Preview] NPC’s health bar goes ‘greener’ the closer you get to her.

Hi,

I’ve noticed a weird bug with NPC health bars since today’s patch (06/06/2017). NPC health bars can sometimes appear empty or partially full even with full health. It appears to be when there is some part of the environment in front of them. I haven’t yet seen if it affects players’ health bars yet though.

Here’s a screenshot of one example.

How would these conditions build character be able to smash a Centaur Weapon Rack then, when doing renown hearts?

Personally I don’t think node farming should be that easy. There should always be one or two mobs at least to contend with. Otherwise we might as well just say ‘stick all the nodes in Tyria in Lion’s Arch or Divinity’s Reach’.

grawls just want to have fun.

Isn’t that a song by Cindy Lauper? lol

It’s also the name of a guild in the EU servers somewhere!

OP could always go into options and unbind the dodge & jump key, and stand still whenever pressing a skill number.

I predict the cap will likely be raised when the next expansion comes out. It’s not a foregone conclusion, but I’d bet a few gems on it at least.

I’m not sure why some people think that ArenaNet actually has problems with money. They are a business at the end of the day, not a charity. If they need money, they’ll find ways to get it.

And also, more money does not necessarily equate to better content.

Western brits weren’t offended by the Sylvari

What about the Eastern Brits though? Those in Yorkshire, Northumberland, East Anglia ect? :P

Aren’t the Sylvari based on the picts and celts? afaik picts only lived in ireland, and celts were all through brittain, but mostly the western side.. I could be wrong, though. But if the eastern brits weren’t offended by it either, then it only enhances my original point

Nah, you’re probably correct on that one. I’m from the West (North West more precisely) and I found it nice that they gave Sylvari the Brit accent. It’s just we don’t really class ourselves as “Western” or “Eastern” Brits. We define ourselves more North or South if anything.
