Guild Wars 2

There is no perma stealth skill on thieves.

1.When the hacking will end Anet?
2. Why dont you repair the damage done by hackers? like taking back orbs, or taking points from hackers?
3. Why do you depend on us to report hackers?

Anet policy is that players should do anet`s job which is controlling the hackers issue. Anet doesnt care about hackers and their negative influence in game. The game is easily hackable and will forever be . When you complain about it, they tell you that YOU should report them. Then they proceed to ban that account without repairing the damage done.

Well, Im afraid Anet that providing a fair enviroment for players is your responsability, not ours. So if you are planning on answering this thread with “report hackers” think it twice.

Notice how the thread will be locked without a proper answer to this serious issue.

Im sorry for Quebec and your laws but I can assure the rest of the world does not have any issue or law against this. Is just being lazy. I live in Argentina and there is not a single law against it. Dont try to justify what cannot be justified. Again, Im sorry for you if the law doesnt allow it.

This is an international game yet the prizes for the halloween contest only allows the participation of Canada/Usa/Europe. May I ask why? I mean, how much would hurt you spending 20 bucks in sending the package? Make the contests international from now on. Is not fair.

A quote from where you got the pic

“Yes, the build is not meant to be practical, just a point of interest/a little funny sometimes to make people nerdrage. "

How does it feel to be so..mhh ..not so smart?

Skritts are the only correct answer. They could work as the underdogs. A race seriously looked down by other races. It would be unexpected.

We are probably getting the generic polar bears or the birds sadly.

This game mode is fun, the hackers and exploits arent. The passive actions from Anet are even less fun. They just ban the guys when the damage is done. They dont prevent hacking, the game is not secure at all and they dont repair the damage done by hackers, they just ban the reported hackers. So, all the fun from this game mode itself is destroyed by hackers and anet.

Its a feature, you are holding it wrong!

The guys will mostly get banned and the damage done wont be repaired at all like with every hacker.

@cerberus, Its your comp actually. You might think that you have an overkiller computer but above 8gb there is no increment in gaming performance even if you like to play 2 games at the same time. Also, I assume you have an amd cpu, those are much more slower than Intel cpus of the same characteristics or even lower and this is ,sadly for us, a cpu bound game.

No, he is just asking for an explanation and coherent customer service. Dont try to backpedal.

Mc Knighter no one is complaining about fixes, why dont you read the opening post maybe? He is complaining about the silence of anet. If you see a thread of people complaining about not getting fixes on first month, go complain there. Not here where is irrelevant.

Also, the engineers are not the customer service department. So I dont see how anet writting a post here would delay people coding.

@wdspeck that attitude of we deserve this we deserve that is being a customer that demands respect. We paid for a product and a service, and we demand a minimal quality in customer service. Wich we are not getting.

Im not sure you have another hobby but Im telling you this stuff doesnt happen there. Videogames usually have a free ticket for bad customer service because “lol kids”. But I can assure a big part of the players here are not kids. And while we do understand that is impossible to fix all bugs in one month, is not hard work to writte a 5 minutes explanation about what they are doing with hackers. How are they preventing it and how will they repair the damage done by hackers.

They are not even trying to repair the damage because all the hacker servers won the matches were they hacked and no one give anything about it.

The total silence and the cryptic and unuseful responses that we are getting from CC XXXXXXX are not helping all. I can accept that there are hackers, but I wont accept the people that got my money to be silent about it. Heck as people said they are not even banning the hackers.

And all of this is just putting a bandage. The real issue is that game is easily hackable and has no security at all. Why doesnt anet post a thread telling us why the system lacks all the security that we need? I tell you why, bad service.

You will get a “report hackers through mail” response. And before an incompetent employee says that, Im going ahead and answer him that banning a hacker doesnt undo the damage. And that you should repair points and the damage done.

We as consumers deserve an answer about wtf is happening with so many hackers and why is so easy to hack the game for teleport/speed/flying/etc.

WE DEMAND ANSWERS.

It wont help you because its not a gaming gpu. You will probably have a lower framerate than now. Also, the game is mostly cpu bound. Well you know what they say about the fool and his money…

I see theiy are reporting and banning. Wich is fine. But the damage is done and I see no intention of Anet of repairing it. Right now Wvwwvw is not playable with so many hacks. They should attack the root. And they sure should communicate to us what they are doing or thinking instead of leaving us in the dark. Because its disrupting everyone´s experience and making the people not wanting to play.

Night capping is not an issue. If you want smaller games play spvp. Do you think in a war people say, “oh its night, deactivate the security system, the enemy wont attack because its sleeping time”.

Rotate people so they take turns guarding at night, try getting players with different time zones, or just dont sleep. Because if a player plays ay night he is not playing during day. Use the day to your advantage if you see you are against a night server.

I see a clear silence from them on the hacking threads. You can see they read and communicate with pretty much any other thread but mention a flying guy or a dissapearing orb and you wont get any word from them. They actually banned some people for talking about it so yes, they read them.

I certainly do not like the way they are ignoring this.

And its fine to ban hackers but after the damage is done, the damage is done. So the question anet is: I know you are banning hackers, but will you do something against hacking itself? Can you make it a bit more harder for people to hack?

I see several reports, specially about GoM server. You have pictures, videos, etc. Im pretty sure you banned that guy already. But you leave the points and the orb where the hacker left them. Why not resseting the points when you notice a hacker?

If a hacker can damage the game is irrelevant if its banned or not because the damage was done already. Sure, you ban it, but it will come another one and the next week wvwvw will be ruined. And the week after that week.

Banning people is not the root of the issue, the issue are some stuff like speed being calculated client side. And those are the obvious ones. Who knows what other more subtle hacks are happening? For example is someone boosts their speed 33% you wont notice it. You could think its just a trait or something. But that boost is enough to disrupt the game.

Reporting and banning wont take us anywhere. We need direct action on the hacking issue and repairs to the damage done. If someone steals the orb with a hack, deduct points or something.

This is a good idea. While 100g seemed a lot of gold before beta now we know its a pretty small ammount of money.

Getting that small ammount of gold is not a qualification to lead anything. You could get that gold easily if you are in a big clan (popularity), if you buy gems or if you play the tp. Trading skills, popularity or real life cash are not any qualification to be commander. Right now we have a million commanders and 95% of them has no clue about what to do than zerging. I guess because the intention of those 95% was just vanity in the first place and not helping.

I suggest:

A. Powering up the requirements: keep the 100g, add a wvwvw title about defending stuff, a minimum spvp rank and pve world map completion. That way we know at least that they know the game properly.
I would actually make getting the commander title pretty hard and demand for the creation of a legendary weapon, but thats just me. A medium difficoulty should be fine.

B. Have a public list of commanders and an option for the rest of the players to deactivate their commander rank. eg: 1000 players vote on firing X commander, that X commander cannot be commander for 1 month.

Also not very related make the commander icon dissapear in cities and pvp. Or at least give the rest of the players an option to hide it.

“But the use of the first does not belie an intent to “exploit” the second. "

Actually ive seen mesmers putting one portal over another. So they are not moving anywhere just abusing the system limitation. Stop excusing them. If the portal didnt lag 99% of the ppl would not use it as it used right now. Is not a happy coincidence. At all.

Actually @rogue, anet said its not an exploit but a legit tactic. I think that abusing a limitation of the engine/server is not a legit tactic because it wasnt intended. Anet thinks otherwise.

If this is a legit tactic the only way to fight this type of tactic is using the same tactic. Please anet do not confuse the stealth as in game machianic with invisibility caused by lag spikes. So if we can only fight using this tactic it will come the day when other classes and tactics are not relevant anymore. Just invisible zergs of fabulous mesmers.

So the new question is: Is this what you intended anet? Is this part of your game design? Mesmers abusing limitations of the system? Because it pretty looks like it according the gm posts in the other thread.

Btw I use a ssd and I still have this issue. So its your rig is not a valid answer.

Its a feature! You are holding it wrong!

I would prefer a weapon skin or gear skin. Maybe a cool back item, considering there are not many.

bytor, no one is asking any reward for getting max level. Why dont you read the posts here?
The issue here is the anticlimatic reward for beating the final boss, the maximum evil in this game.When you just saved the world and you receive some lvl 78 crap you cant feel anything but surprised at least, by such lame reward and ingratitude from the Tyrian people. I mean, cmon, you just saved the world! The least they can do is give you something cool. It doesnt have to be an exotic weapon, a simple weapon or armor skin should be enough. Something unique, not something you can loot by killing some filthy zombies or spiders in Orr. Its Zhaitann for f sake.

Well, I dont want to start an arguement but theres almost no grinding/long farmings in this game compared to other mmo, specially korean ones. If you dont like the tedious or slow parts of a mmo maybe you should think about other genres of games.

This thread really smells like

No items.
Final destination.

Stop being scrubs, the sharks have low hp and the point can be capped by just 1 member if its not defended and 2 people if its guarded by some enemy. Like any other point.

You are mostly complaining about underwater fight, not about the sharks itself. Its obvious that if a great part of the game happens underwater, you even have 2 skill sets for it, they would give at least 1 map some underwater parts.

I really hope they pull a 100% underwater map so we can see who learns to adapt and who just complains.

@Blazer Hellsing.9184

Your feedback doesnt seem critical and valuable at all like your sig says. The one who made this thread was clearly talking about pve, why are you talking about spvp or pvp? Read first, read again a second time, then answer.
