Guild Wars 2

It works for me!

Random.4691:

It’s a blow rifle, kinda like those darts but much less range and has the possibility of the user passing out due to lack of oxygen.

After doing some data mining of my own, I can confirm this is correct.

venomblade.5769:

I do not remember having anything said that would warrant a 3 day ban

The time of when you allegedly used said foul language isn’t necessarily around the same time you receive the ban. It could be something you’ve said a week ago, maybe longer.

That said, if you truly believe you’re innocent, as mentioned submit an appeal, since discussing or appealing a moderator/GM decision isn’t really allowed in the forums.

mysterion.1276:

I wonder why they made a category for RP but not for sellers. /:

Because selling items on LFG (as apposed to selling dungeons, raids, SAB levels etc) is against the rules, so I think they just don’t want to encourage it!

Yes it’s still huge

Welcome to the wonderful world of Tyria!

Edit: Clans: You can make guilds, and name your guild a clan, for example ‘The Clan of Swords’ or something.

That’s what I’m saying, Chinese isn’t supported by the NA/EU client, I’m afraid. English, French, German and Spanish are your only options, sorry.

BrotherBelial.3094:

Ah, yes. I can see what’s happening here. “I keep getting beaten by people running condition builds. Yes it must be the torment and confusion killing me.”

This is a L2P issue. I play warrior mostly, I have 4 of them. So if I can beat condition builds, and I’m not that good, anyone can, with some practice.

Agreed. Torment is a L2NotMove condition. Confusion is a L2NotHit condition. Or you can use condition removal skills/traits as well.

The DOT on Confusion was added not too long ago, and was a welcome change, especially for PvE players but probably for PvP/WvW players too (as long as they were the ones doing the inflicting, of course!)

Ok, so we’ve established your guild isn’t a 100% Rep Guild. My question still stands – what’s stopping you from joining another guild specifically for Guild Missions if you can barely make time for Guild Missions with your current guild? There are plenty of large® guilds out there, and some with weekends designated as Guild Mission day.

Or – can’t you talk to your guildies to see if you can either change the day Guild Missions are done, or have more than one day? Not all my guildies can make our designated GM day (Wednesday) so to be flexible, I gave all guildies the permission to start their own guild missions whenever they want.

It still sounds like a guild issue to me, 100% rep or not.

5 AP per day is just too easy just for logging in, in my opinion.

In all fairness to ArenaNet, they never actually strictly said “10%” they said “About 10% with a full zerker build" To be honest though, if we Bezerker & Assasin players all as good players as we say we are, we should actually welcome the extra challenge!

(I’m assassin build myself and would like more time killing an enemy! )

Your best option is to report and block them, but it’s best to understand that the “report” part is going to do absolutely nothing. Anet only jumps when it affects their income.

Again, not true.

I don’t see a red tag on your name.

Erm.. never claimed to have had one. I don’t even have a commander tag in-game.

Earlier in this thread if you care to scroll up in reply to someone else saying they never do anything:

They do, people come back from bans complaining of breaches of their ‘human right to free speech’ and post in the account support section of this forum complaining that they’ve been banned for things like ‘inappropriate language’

:)

No thank you. PvP should stay in the PvP areas, as it did in the first Guild Wars.

We kind of have PvP in PvE anyway, through the use of Costume Brawl, which most of the time is fun without people being elitists and stuff.

With what I’ve been seeing in Divinity’s Reach lately, I reckon it’ll be Toy Golemancer :p

Hope This Helps

It happened to me earlier but I got them back after completely restarting my computer. Probably restarting your client will be enough though.

Arrow.4619:

Just curious – everyone is assuming this is the art for the elite specialization. There were two pictures that are not currently in use for the thief:

http://i.imgur.com/xA8qvVk.png
AND
http://i.imgur.com/rNAy4Jb.png

One would be for the new trait line and the other the accompanying new skill type. I’m not certain which is which because we’re missing important context.

I hope that ANet does not introduce a new class with a melee staff AND add staff as the specialization weapon to two other existing classes although its quite possible they will.

The second image is currently being used by Thief. It’s the Deadly Arts specialisation line.

deffy.1320:

apparently says inappropriate language really 1 am in the morning uk

ArenaNet doesn’t necessarily ban you right away. It could have been something you said a week ago. Or possibly just after you last logged off but the effect of the ban doesn’t start until your next attempted log in.

In any case, nothing we on the forums can do for you, it can only be discussed by submitting a ticket – though to be honest, your ban will probably be over before they get back to you, as they can get very busy.

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

I know.

If you’ve been to the website – change your password to your game AND email address pronto!

I tell ye, these kids today don’t know they’re born. In my day, when we had killstreak boosters we had to use them within 30 seconds, or the whole boon would disappear, even if you only double-clicked it 2 minutes ago! Now they get 60 seconds, and if they don’t use it in that time, they still get the boon!

Aye, these young whippersnappers eh? slaps thigh

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

Greatsword, hm?

ANet: adds Katana, makes sure that thief can’t use it

ANet: adds Chiroptophobia, makes sure that necromancer can’t us it. :p

RoseofGilead.8907:

penelopehannibal.8947:

Also, I take it if ranger AFK farming is allowed, that the necromancers in Dredgehaunt Cliffs using minions to farm for them whilst the players are asleep (like, 03:30 am UK time) that I have been reporting are allowed too?

That could be different. Time of day doesn’t really matter because they could be living in a different part of the world, and it could be the next day or earlier than it is where you are. But if they’re standing still for hours with the permanent minions out, then yeah, I’d call that odd behavior.

Of course a different timezone can be the case for anyone, but these particular ones are stood still for hours on end. In fact, earlier today I spotted two of the necromancers actually constantly using Staff Skill 1 repeatedly whilst stood still and were using the skill whether there were any enemies present or not!

Gift of Battle takes a couple of days to a week to acquire with this new system. That’s nothing compared to how long it takes to acquire other materials. I remember when I started on my first legendary weapon. I had to do WvW for the badges as well as the Gift of Exploration back then. At least you don’t need to map WvW anymore.

Hover your mouse at the top of the chat box, slightly to the right of your last chat tab, but not too far as to be in the resize corner, and hold and drag slowly back down to the bottom.

Hi,

I was in Divinity’s Reach earlier and was watching a few people show off their PvP ranks with the / rank emote – and then it hit me!

How about letting players show off their currently active finisher too? The emote could be something like / finish or / finisher – as this will serve two great benefits:

1. Firstly, not everyone notices who the finishers have come from all the time in PvP, and some people, like me, don’t play PvP a lot, but have still purchased a finisher from the Gem Store so it’s used occasionally, but usually it’s hardly noticed!

2. It gives other people a chance to see the finisher before buying, like, and when they see someone doing / finisher and the Quaggan finisher is shown, someone else might say “Ooh, that’s pretty, where’d you get it?” and you point them to the Gem Store – meaning it benefits ArenaNet too!

So, yeah, everyone wins! I personally have the Quaggan finisher, and enjoy using it against Toxic Nightmare Courtiers in PvE, but I’m usually alone when I use it!

Thanks for reading and positive feedback or constructive criticism is welcome.

Thank you

15,580 hours, still no precursor. Don’t gamble.

What happens if the item you personally mark as junk suddenly becomes of value on the TP due to a stat change?

Also, I have a feeling that having a long, long list on everybody’s account as what is junk to them might slow the servers down. Remember there are literally thousands of different possibilities, from minor runes to all the various levels and stat choices of blue & green weapons/armour.

But I think it might be better when you sell to a vendor if you have a tick box next to each one, and have a ‘Sell Selected Items’ instead, so there’s no overhaul to make a list of every single possible item in game.

ArenaNet is a business, not a charity. I doubt they’ve got money problems in the first place, to be honest.

Paul.4081:

Pedophilia is just a tongue in cheek joke now?

It’s ‘paedophilia’.

Pedophilia sounds like it should be the liking of feet.
People should learn Latin more. It would help their spelling.

Both spellings are actually correct. Ped is traditionally the US spelling, and Paed is the traditional ‘UK/Latin’ spelling. Like Color/Colour or Specialization/Specialisation.

You need to learn to be a bit more tolerant of the way different countries spell things, and also learn to stay on topic! :p

Chasing The Banners Of Acheron

If the rest of the game isn’t worth playing, the champ trains are a waste of time anyway.

Excellent point this. If the Champ Train is the only reason some of the people (who have threatened to leave the game) to stay, what are they aiming for? A Legendary? Ascended gear? To do what? Farm more because the rest is rubbish?

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

It’s a regular occurrence and a common subject on these forums – If you’ve Reported & Blocked them, then they will sort them out.

Since you’ve visited their website, I’d change the password to both your email address and your GW2 log in, just to be on the safe side (Make sure they are both different too!)

Weird to us humans, but to Asura, the neck is perfection.

Why was it necessary for the use of the P-word in the first line? Not funny in the slightest.

Allison The Strange.4519:

For people who have zero clue how drops in this game works…

We do have a clue about how drops work, your argument has already been established. We’re talking about a U-Turn on ArenaNet policy here. And for whatever reason the Ranger/Necromancer AFK farmers are doing it, they are doing it for some benefit. Otherwise they wouldn’t be there!

Just a flesh wound.3589:

What are you talking about? Permanent ban after buying the expansion?

no, if u have several points and you get 1 more for… other reasons than buying the expansion

You don’t get an infraction point for buying Heart of Thorns.

Buying Heart of Thorns doesn’t change how a player has behaved in the past. If you’ve been naughty and you are trying to better your ways, then this is a good thing, and I believe over a very long period of time, those infraction points will decrease.

But if you just want to teeter over the brink of punishment in your behaviour towards others, acting negatively but in a way to always be one step away from permanent punishment, then of course infraction points shouldn’t be reset just for purchasing HoT. Nor should there be a way to see your infraction points.

Here’s to another 1,000 days!!

None of my human characters have turned Branded in the Dragonbrand yet, or Undead in Orr yet, so I highly doubt any PC Sylvari will turn fighting off the Mordrem.

Dashingsteel.3410:

Just like they said we would be getting 3 raid wings…… Not at launch but at intervals

Intervals is a very loose term. Once every three years still counts as intervals.

Fellow EU players: Whilst the times are a bit awkward, remember we will be the ones having fun whilst ArenaNet will be on the other end of the line at the same time as us working – not having fun time!

If getting into the Beta Test was so important to you, you make sure you’re there by hook or by crook. Heck, I’ll be there at all three time slots!!

Energy drinks at the ready!

Staff as main weapon – Throwing-type kit-like Utility Skills sounds plausible.

This game is cramped full of content already.

I personally suggest try getting as much map completion done as you can with as many classes as you can ready for when the switchover comes from Skill Points to Hero Points.

Kite.2510:

NO SEASONED PLAYER IS GOING TO REVIVE SOMEONE FOR THAT FUNNY AMOUNT OF USELESS XP.

Obviously!
What I’m saying is that now that new players will come into the game, I believe there should still be a number comming out, even if it’s another useless currency.
Think “10 points of karma” useless.
As long as it exist, new players will be more inclined to do so.
Is a psychological thing!… A Skinner Box!

We were all new players once, and I certainly don’t remember reviving my first player as “Hey, I can get XP for this?” it was more “Hey, this player needs my help!”

stale.9785:

Travelling between the TP pickup and crafting stations in DR, because it’s the least irritating setup in-game. I’m not sure where the RP folks are, but they’re still at it. I shouldn’t have to shut off both /emote and /say to avoid it.

That said, I don’t particularly care either way, given my own mindset, but there ought to be a limit on it for the sake of those who really don’t want to see it.

EDIT: Call it what you will, but they’re the same names that turn up all the time. People getting their freak on with their charr, debating the morality of Charr eating the other races, holding court while critiquing the fashion choices of those who pass by.

They’re there basically every evening between 8pm and 12am ET.

Byou the same notion, role players shouldn’t have to stop role playing just because it’s not 5o your taste either. Neither should they be put in a separate box.

Apart from the “getting their freak on” publicly they are not actually doing anything wrong.

Shen Slayer.3058:

This game is getting boring, we need new things to do again…bring back the train. Just scale back exp. and drops for low level. Problem solve, newbs and veterans gets what they want.

There’s an entire world out there for you to explore, before HoT comes out, and you’d rather skip the beautiful world of Tyria in favour of repeating the same four champs for hours each day?

I have 1 incinerator and one nearly made (already got Gift of Incinerator so too late to backtrack) so i know how it feels with the legendaries.

Extra dyes get converted to an Unidentified dye, which now goes for about 40 – 50 silver ATM, so not a complete waste when it comes to dyes. I do feel sorry for multiple Abyss/Celestial purchasers though, but there has to be some short-term pain somewhere for a long-term benefit, and I agree with it in the long term.

As a role-player on Piken Square, we don’t usually use emoticons in chat. We just use the custom emotes ( /em) to describe how a character feels, or what they are doing.

I think this one can be filed under “Bigger fish to fry” on this one, sorry.

Mayko.1289:

Will HoT be out on Mac?
Can i please get a Dev confirmation! Thank You!

Since the Mac Beta is basically a Wine wrap, and the core game engine is already available and HoT is an expansion, I am more than 99% confident we Mac players will get to play HoT.

CodeHavoc.7926:

Are MAC users still in Beta?

Yes, it’s still in Beta, though the term ‘Beta’ is a rather loose term now since we don’t usually get any more problems than a regular PC user does.

SOLUTION:

Go to your GW2 application. Right-click and choose “Show Package Contents”
Navigate Contents -> Resources -> transgaming -> c_drive -> GW2
Rename gw2.exe to oldgw2.exe
Rename gw2.tmp to gw2.exe.
Launch GW2.

The launcher will start and will begin the download. I’m downloading now.

Edit: The fix persists through multiple launches.

Taken from https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Mac-client-broken-display

Thanks that worked. I wonder if Anet actually tests their updates on Macs before they release them. It seems doubtful.

I think they do but forgot this time. Or maybe, they were experimenting with Native Mac Clients and moving files around, but forgot to put things back! (I know, I’m forever the optimist!)

Anyway, don’t thank me, thank Blackwood the original person who figured it out!

Just a flesh wound.3589:

And before you pursue this, you better be careful … you can find yourself in lots of trouble if you report someone who isn’t doing anything wrong.

Wrong. They do punish for obvious malicious reporting but honest mistakes are not punished.

I concur. Once when I reported many AFK bots from Dredgehaunt Cliffs I had about 14 lines of ‘Thank You For Your Report’ but I only reported 4 or 5 different characters because it was hard to distinguish the different necromancers. Nothing happened to me about that.

If you suspect there is botting going on, report it and move on. If they are innocent, ArenaNet will know and won’t punish them, or you for being wrong about it. As long as you genuinely thought they were botting (again, they’ll know) then nothing will happen to you.
