Guild Wars 2

Most people do not know of this feature that exists with quite a few implementations of the standard e-mail system. It’s called Subaddressing/tagging, which vaguely allows the user to customize their everyday email address to almost brand new without creating another account.

How does this work?
Let us use example@gmail.com and formulate a new one for Facebook, Twitter, and Guild Wars 2:

• example+facebook@gmail.com
• example+twitter@gmail.com
• example+guildwars@gmail.com
• example+whateveriwanttoputhere@gmail.com
• example-yahoovariant@yahoo.com

Most e-mail variants using qmail utilize the hyphen (-), versus the plus (+) sign, but provide the same functionality.

All of those emails will be sent to example@gmail.com, but it also provides another layer of security to an extent. Sure, all anyone has to do is obtain that string of text and they have your username. But its effective.

What e-mail services provide this feature, and what character do they use?

• G-Mail – plus sign (+)
• Yahoo! Mail – hyphen sign (-)
• iCloud – plus sign (+)

WOW, I CANNOT BELIEVE I DIDN’T NOTICE THIS BY NOW.

Quaggans a pirate! Yarr! .. Best line EVER

When even the creator of the build says that it’s overpowered, I’m inclined to believe him more than some random person with a cavalier attitude.

Maybe you should learn how to play the Thief (what you seem to like saying) before saying that everyone else sucks, because I’ve personally tried the build and it is ridiculous. The problem isn’t that people suck, it’s that you are terrible and can’t see its potential.

Here, I even quoted it so you don’t have to find where the post it:

THIS. NEEDS.A.NERF big time.

I play P/D but I used to run D/P before it went mainstream (Yishis build inspired by my build, he gave me credit in his D/P video).

Either you remove the blindness from the single bullet (as you combo)… or remove blind all together, I can’t really think of a fix but D/P is OP as hell.. luckily most players have no clue how to play it and are nothing more than annoying.

My video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZOl-e8KCkY (9.5k views)

I’ve also seen horrid builds called OP by their creators. That’s pretty meaningless.

In the video I see lots of bad players, upscaled players, and players already in fights with others etc. etc. Most are the type that turn into grazing cattle when faced with stealth. You can find videos of every single class killing players like this 1vX. The game should not be balanced around these sorts of low skill players.

I used to play my thief far more than I do now. It was my first 80. I came to see that thief is good at low skill levels. It’s very easy to pick up and use. However as the skill levels of the players increases, that advantage drops and eventually caps earlier than other classes. Thief is the cod noob tube of gw2. People complain about it, but it’s hardly ever seen at higher skill levels because there are more powerful options.

Thief is not among the best 1v1 classes (my eng and mes are better at that regardless of the thief’s chosen weaponsets), isn’t very useful for groups (thief needs a buff in this area), but thief does do a few things that it does better than other classes though. Mobility, scouting, contesting keeps, and ganking yaks.

Clap, clap, clap.
Exactly what I was thinking to say.

I knew posts like this would pop up as soon as SoloQ was released. What did you guys expect from soloq? Perfect teams with perfect compositions with perfect players that know exactly what they’re supposed to be doing?

Hey by all means, if you have an idea of how to achieve that for solo que I’m sure we would all like to hear it, including A-net. Adjust your expectations to reality and stop crying or just stop playing. Solo que is always like this, always has been and always will be. Worrying about dropping your rank also – your problem. I don’t care about my rank. All I care about is that I know, when I join a solo que that I won’t play against premades. That’s what soloque offers, that’s what it’s supposed to offer, and I’m satisfied with it.

Also an answer to “Give us Real PvP” guy above.
- get a team.

Agree with this. Solo Q rank might mean something after hundreds of matches, when the randomness of player skill begins to normalize for all the players who have played hundreds of matches. Until then, enjoy it for what it is: a chance for 5v5 without premades.

MMR is good but i’m thinking that SoloQ is like the Random Arenas of GW1. you get paired with anyone.

First: The new Wallet is really a nice feature and cleans up my inventory. Thumbs up for that.

But I think a very small change would be really nice. I’d like to see my Karma again at the bottom of the inventory, without having to hover over the gold. Simply to see at a glance how much Karma I have while buying multiple karma items or such. It was just a little more comfortable that way.
And I think other people would like to see there laurels there, too. I mean, those currencies (Karma, Gold, maybe Laurels) are the main currencies throughout the world, while tokens are somewhat stored until you get a decent amount of them buying one specific item.

Long story short: Please bring back the Karma to the bottom of my inventory. Thanks

this thread need to have a red icon. warrior is definitely the better class made by anet.

Animation wise they might be ^^
Besides that: I find myself agreeing with mr.Helseth. In a game without castbars it’s crucial that very clear visual animations are present.

I think to make those achievements… Achievable…. They need to just knock off a zero.

I’m confused over how doing the same thing for years is even considered an achievement.

You should ask Apple. They have been making the same iCrap everyday for the last 6 years.

…You’ve started to use the word “zerg” in every day language.

U know ever tower camp and keep on every map and the color they go with

When you randomly think “this would be an awesome choke point” when you are walking around at your workplace.

You get yanked off the maps to do a dungeon run with your Guild for a change, and are surprised by the decent loot.

You run Temple Takeback with the SBI community on Saturdays as a quick way of funding your WvW habit for the week. (true story, sadly)

You do the Jormag event while waiting for WvW to come back up after the giant patch and call out “combo fields on the Commander!” (again, sadly, true story)

… when you cap all of EB and others in the zerg decide to go do something called “temples”. After a 20min run from Lion’s Arch all you can think about while helping them take temples is: “WTF, you mean I have to run over to the corpse to loot it? ANET FIX THIS NOW!”

You resolve to go to sleep at 1am, and only do so at 3am because you want to help your server get SMC.

Thief blind doesn’t need nerf. It’s part if our defense. We don’t have endure pain or mist form or elixir s, etc. All we got is blinds and stealth and evades. All which can be countered, unlike a endure pain or mist form, etc.

L2p or nerf it and give thieves invulns.

you do realize those skills last for 3-4s right ? :/ and have long cool downs ? or that spammable stealth, blinds, and evades is far better than a 3s invul on a 60s cd :S

and blind is fine as it is, before the change it wasn’t notice, now it’s doing its Job and its no where best as strings as gw2, then again.. u could rupt on gw1! God… I miss my rupts

Vol.5241:

There is no reliable way to farm T6. Just go farm gold in general and buy it.

This ultimately leads to inflation — if everyone has gold and nobody is filling the role of “supply”, prices will continue to rise.

There’s been a bit of a gold infusion in the last two weeks from the achievement chests. I expect prices to rise anyway in the short term.

Even with the fast times they are more deserving of a bit more gold than 3g. Compared to other paths.
