Guild Wars 2

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Rayzah.4235:

The issue of the OP is clear, every information is given to us in the topic. He is looking forward to NPC also having accounts, so he can add them as friends. Maybe nobody wants to play with him.

Personally I’m against this. ANet could have someone spawning NPCs and use this to claim the game has 1,000,0000,000 accounts online simultaneously, 24/7.

The NPCs have to buy HoT then. Otherwise it’s totally unfair. And also a bit racist. Just because I’m not made of pixels doesn’t mean I should have to pay full price for HoT when NPCs get to have it for free. They should also be required to craft and grind out their own legendary weapons. Looking at you master Hobbs >.>

When people put banners on my ice bow. Report.

Maybe ask an officer to change your rank and then back again to see what happens. Just a thought to try out in the mean time.

Anet isn’t banning anyone for that.

@NIGHTSHADE. I don’t need to prove I’m correct. You need to prove You are correct and I’m incorrect. You are the one making the accusation not me. So Again. Saying Mesmer is OP based on match wins and composition comparison is completly wrong.

Example. Here is another example for you and more accurate to portray the situation.

Observed data: Everytime I eat a PB sandwich it rains the next day.

Monday: I eat a PB sandwich
Tuesday: It rains, I eat another PB sandwich
Wednesday: It rains, I do not eat a Sanwhich
Thursday: it doesn’t rain but I eat a PB sandwich
Friday: It rains. I eat an Oreo Sandwhich.
Saturday: It rains. I eat an Oreo Sandwhich
Sunday: It rains.

So. I can conclude that PB Sandwhich make it rain the next day. Later I also see the hybrid Sandwhich “Oreo Sandwhich” also makes it rain the next day. See it’s got to be true. #sandwhich logic

Your problem is only your opinion is right. You are therefore too blind to see the truth. You are unable to step back and evaluate the situation or consider other possibilities because your judgment is clouded by being over emotional. And this goes all the way back to last year. So there ya go, I don’t care to win the argument. It’s fine. It’s pretty much impossible to inspire someone through a forum post to be rational when they are set on being irrational. It doesn’t hurt to try tho.

It’s to inhibit RMTs. But it’s a pain. Not a bug tho.

Sorry to say I completely fail to see how limiting broker limits real money trading. Broker is not a 1:1 trade tool. You can’t buy someone else’s expensive items as it first buys by lowest price. If you post something super cheap, there is a really high chance someone else will buy it first instead of your intended target. Also, as you can see it would still allow multiple trades before showing the error (it doesn’t pop up by quantity bought/sold but by number of individual unique items sold in succession). Makes no sense whatsoever.

Oh I agree. It is not very logical at all. But that’s how it goes unfortunately.

Okay so hopefully OP you took a minute and got to take a step back. First we all come from different walks in life. Some of us here on the forums were fortunate enough to go to college and take classes like research and statistics. That doesn’t make me any better than anyone else but it does mean I am a bit more informed on data collection

The data you are using can not be used to say Mesmer is OP. There are too many things called “confounding variables.” Your hypothesis is that Mesmer is OP because the teams with mesmers won more than the teams without. However we don’t know that those teams lost because of variables such as: one team had a some team members with a bad internet connection, one team was less skilled, one team encountered a bug….. There’s seriously tons of other factors this could be. So we would say your “results” have no “validity”. Because we can’t say that your test (comparing wins with teams who have mesmers versus teams that do not) is actually measuring what you think it is measuring.

Besides that I looked through your old thread. It is referring to PU most likely which has been nerfed a few times substantially. Current bunker chrono builds seem to be the meta right now for mesmer which is a lot different than the nerfed PU build.

Esonver.8470:

Or, make Aclarity a boon so that it can be removed, has anyone think of that?

There was no alacrity 12 months ago. This is what the OP is referring to.

Take a deep breath and relax a few minutes. It’s okay.

Are you sure it’s p1 you are missing? Did you try running the other paths and story again?

Dara Potocska.8196:

Hey friends!

We are investigating the issue. Hang tight!

Thanks for the update. It’s nice to hear about these things on the official forums as well as Reddit.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Disconnect-from-server-what-s-going-on/first#post5842129

Posted a little while ago.

Actually for once we have an official response on the forums. Just got to check the right section.

1) it’s not an outfit. It’s an armor skin set. You can apply each skin piece individually to each of your armor pieces. So you’re looking in the wrong spot if you were looking in your outfits. You should be in wardrobe.
2) this skin was never applied to your ele because it’s for medium armor only. Again it is not an outfit, outfits can be applied to any armor class. Armor skins can’t. There is a flame kissed set for light armor but it looks much different. It’s more “skimpy”
3) it’s possible that you transmuted these armor Skins out for something else and therefore erasing them before the wardrobe feature was implemented. Which would be why it disappeared. But it seems you are looking in The wrong spot. And you’re referring to the wrong armor class so not sure what is going on besides that you’re just a bit confused. Hopefully it’s more clear now.

Hitting a loading screen would fix that.

Firebird Gomer.9563:

What about lag/ping issues.

That is in no way my fault and yet I can’t raid because of it.

Raids are broken for people with lag. I want my legendary armor. I am willing to work for it. But I am not willing to get abused by Elitist Toxic Players who cant even spell saying “Get Gud”. The words are Get Good. You should look at the plank in your own eye before attempting to get the speck out of mine.

You can’t expect Anet to make a server just for you. It’s just not feasible to make oceanic servers. Yes it’s an “international game” but that is a terrible argument for saying Anet needs to make servers when their budget wouldn’t be able to do it. If someone can get internet in Antartica does that mean they should put servers there too because it’s an “international” game. So sorry you have lag and you’re so upset. But take a minute and cool off and think this through from Anet’s standpoint.

There’s a lot of people that just don’t want to put the time and dedication into making it work. That doesn’t make them causal that just makes them lazy. Lazy does not equal casual. Someone who plays 7 hours a week and puts 1-2 hours into this a night with the same group who also plays around the same time will be able to get this within a month as long as they work at it and are willing to adapt. This whole lazy attitude or “my way or no way” attitude doesn’t make a person casual; that just makes them a bad player.

Granted I personally prefer pug groups that are running all ascended. Not because of the fact they are ascended but because those people are more LIKELY dedicated and have a sense of determination to get through the content. Sure some of these people are “elitists” but thats fine and doesn’t bother me.

Sorry if I am offending anyone but really this is ridiculous. Some posters are unable to step back and see the bigger picture. Or they have this “my way or the highway” attitude not only in game but also here on the forums. There’s no winning with these people. Not on a boss and not on the forums.

I would actually ask support to see if they can retro actively give you the item. Or hopefully they will do a patch to retroactively give it to everyone like they did for things like map exploration in the new zones. It really needs flagged tho so that devs are aware of the problem. It seems like support doesn’t do that. Hopefully you can get someone’s attention through this thread.

Don’t make more tickets. They merge them then and it actually slows it down. Post here if it’s been more than 3 days and they will get back to you. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/GW2-Tickets-for-Review-3-days-older-2/page/11#post5783077

Raids are casual friendly if the “casual” is:

1) determined
2) level headed (not having kitten fits, which disqualifies a bunch of people in this thread)
3) adaptable
4) skillful/competent
5) geared

5 things for successful causal raids. I feel a self help book brewing. You’re welcome world :-D

It’s to inhibit RMTs. But it’s a pain. Not a bug tho.

smiling.9028:

Add -maploadinfo to the end of your target for the GW2 shortcut ie: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -maploadinfo and you can actually see where it’s getting hung up. 99% of the time it’s loading models or map info and your connection speed (ping) has a lot to do with it.

I also have a tinfoil hat theory that it actually speeds it up if you keep an eye on it but my wife says i’m crazy.

Actually you got to move your mouse in a circle motion over the loading circle to speed it up.

Except I never disagreed. I was just pointing out the over dramatic parts. In fact I agree the adventures are tedious. It’s not too hard to get silvers and get the mastery points but it’s still boring and a bit tedious. Any points behind gold is ridiculous and should be moved to silver for some events. Although it’s more of a balance issue than a silver/gold issue. Some timers should just be adjusted if they want to keep the mastery points behind golds. I was able to get gold after the first few tries on some adventures and others I know I won’t bother to ever attempt it as after an hour or so I’m lucky to get silver. This seems like another management issue to add to the management issue list which I won’t go into here but this is also another reason I’ve been looking at new mmo’s coming out.

You did this after beating VG right? Like it was the same instance where the boss had been killed.

You can rarely change people’s perspective through an Internet forum but it can be a fun challenge to try. And it’s nice when it actually works. But yeah…

Ok that was just one example. Also if you read your post that’s not what you were saying. Although it’s quite unclear what you were saying at that point. It sounds like you are complaining about collections for items and then say that 99% of meta events fail. Which implies you can’t get any collections done because all the meta events fail, not just TD meta which Wouldn’t really set you back on all the collections like you had been implying. Then added something about the TD meta but in parentheses which makes it seem like that is not the main focus of your point. But this:

“PS: Oh and for the love of life, get a new RNG, this is just hilarious….ppl who are with the game from the beginning get hardly anyhting and new accounts getting everything thrown after…”

Now again maybe I don’t know what you are saying. But this reads like “New players get EVERYTHING and veterans get HARDLY anything.” This is called all or nothing thinking. Also a symptom of being over dramatic. So I read those two things and you came off as over dramatic.

Seabreeze.8437:

Kravick.4906:

I am really embarrassed for ANet at this point. I really have to wonder how they’re going to live up to this disaster, and how they’re going to make it up to their customer base. If they do nothing, well… Yeah.

I feel the same way. HoT has already suffered a mediocre post-release, and now they are further upsetting the players with these unusual decisions, like visual nerfs, releasing 5 outfits for gems within a month (more than what what was even offered in the xpac with the premium price tag), making condescending remarks toward the players/customers, etc.

What is going on at Anet, seriously? And how are they going to remedy this?

I fear they aren’t. It’s like a vacuum over there in the management department from what it seems like. The disconnect is too big and they don’t care to fix it. They don’t seem to take negative feedback well. Instead of looking through the negative feedback for actual criticism they apparently just make sweeping statements toward the player base. Even if there was no actual good criticism, as a leader of a company you still don’t make posts like that, but there has been plenty of actual criticism albeit accompanied with some negative feedback.

Luac Agwayen.6419:

I dont see this post as being dramatic, it is a statement of my experience, but thank you for just proving my point reagarding that some people have to flame @Andraus.3874.

You said meta events fail 99% of the time. That’s exaggeration which means you’re being overly dramatic.

And of course you wouldn’t see your own post as being dramatic. You can’t look from the outside in when you are already inside.

I could tell this was going to be overly dramatic from the title with the 3 days Headstart tagged on there. That 3 days definitely made a difference.

Yeah It’s just that nobody uses the features with them, which is why I said its for aesthetics. I don’t think that was Anets intention tho. They just didn’t think it through and realize they needed legendary armor and weapons to save sigils and runes in some way. And that sounds like some complicated coding if they wanted to correct it after the implementation of stat selection. They probably haven’t had the time for it, but I’m hoping its at least on the table.

Personally I have 5 legendary weapons and only changed the stats like 3 times for kicks on my first one. I’ve found most people have the same experience but I haven’t done a poll or anything.

Legendary armor is going to be for aesthetics only just like the weapons. Let’s not start a debate about that. It’s not a new tier because it’s horizontal progression only.

Also there’s plenty to do “end game”. Fractals, pvp, wvw, open world meta events…..

Yes, the ability to change stats at any time to suit any encounter is purely an aesthetic feature and totally doesn’t’ affect gameplay at all…

(P.S. I apologize for my sarcasm but I’m just kinda tired of this argument being thrown around without thought)

As for the other end game content you mentioned, we’ve done it all already and we’re becoming bored of them after doing the same stuff for three years. Raids are it as far as new end-game content goes. If ANet wants people to enjoy other end game content, then they need to pay attention to that content and update it, not abandon it.

Without thought…… Right. You can change your ascended armor stats whenever you like with a simple trip to the tp and forge. Of course that is expensive. But so would be changing all your runes when you are switching between something like berserker runes for condi builds and strength runes for zerker builds. Nobody is switching the stats unless they use crappy runes or orbs they don’t mind changing out constantly.

Taking a trip to the MF every time I want to change gear stats is not a good alternative. It’s not even remotely viable. Not only would it cost a fortune, but it also takes a lot of time and you’d lose your runes or sigils every time you do it (very bad for people using expensive runes like Runes of the Scholar or Runes of Strength).

Keep in mind that switching builds can help an encounter even if you don’t change runes (for example, fighting husks champs in silverwastes is done much more easily with condition gear, because of their super high toughness. Even moderate condition damage will be more effective than fully maxed out physical damage).

That’s a very specific circumstance that it could be helpful in. Granted you still have to change your trinkets, weapons, traits and plus selecting stats on each legendary gear piece. I would never take the time to do that for something like a husk in SW (plus you would have to be occ to do that, by the time you do all that and if something doesn’t attack you while you’re trying to do all that, the mob is likely dead or nearly dead, and you would have been better off staying with your original build and Dps’ing from the start). If there is content I’m going to do that needs condi damage specifically so that it would make me want to take the time to change my gear to condi damage, I’m going to also want to have the right runes. So it’s super marginally appealing, so much so that nobody is going to bother. It’s the same really for legendary weapons.

Now if you propose that somehow legendary armor and weapons can save runes/sigils I might say you have a valid point. But as it stands now the stat selection ability is rather crappy because of poor implementation of legendary mechanics.

Here’s the problem you’re going to run into. For example if you run Gor as an ele and they expect you to clear orbs they expect you to run zerker to clear the orbs fast enough that they aren’t killing the group. A cele ele doesn’t have a defined role in the meta right now. That doesn’t mean it isn’t viable but that does mean you’re going to have to try to find groups that want to experiment with whatever you are running and a lot of people won’t be willing to do that because it takes even more time.

Literally no one is saying raids can only be completed with meta gear.

I just want an opportunity to learn the raids, that is all I asked for. I’ve already been told my gear is ‘worthless’ and that I need meta, now you say I don’t… Can you offer me an outlet to learn raids?

I am a skilled long-time player who simply needs an opportunity to start learning this particular content. I’m not asking for day 1 completion or guaranteed clears, just a chance to head in the right direction. I would appreciate help with this.

I watched YouTube videos. There are going to be different strategies depending on your role and class tho. None of the mechanics are that hard. Just watch some videos and join a pug group with the expectation you aren’t going to win. At least you’ll get to experience the mechanics and how it works.

You realize if they remove it there is likely going to be an outcry from a bunch more people to put it back on. And they have more of a right to be upset about its removal because they could have technically crafted it knowing there was a flower in it and believed it added to its aesthetic. So the outcome of your suggestion is lose lose from anet’s perspective. But better to just leave it alone. And also because there’s no way they are putting resources toward something like that.

GangNamTwo.9780:

Agree with Kravick.

Yep. After playing this game for so long and keeping an eye on the forums it doesn’t take too much to figure out there’s management problems without even looking at glass door reviews. And the points kravick makes are true, they definitely seem to be legitimate reviews.

Legendary armor is going to be for aesthetics only just like the weapons. Let’s not start a debate about that. It’s not a new tier because it’s horizontal progression only.

Also there’s plenty to do “end game”. Fractals, pvp, wvw, open world meta events…..

It’s not a flower. It is the tail tho and under tails there is the body waste removal area.

Is this really the reason behind all the raid qq’ing? Because “casuals” just want to see what it’s like besides first boss?

Why are people even bothering with raids if they can’t get ascended gear in the first place? What is the goal for someone in raids who can’t be bothered enough to save up for ascended let alone any legendary armor components (yes we don’t know these yet but in sure it will be very expensive, much more so than ascended).

If they are too hard or challenging then move onto something else. If you are serious about them then work on something else while getting the gold / working through the time gate to get the ascended. Right?

Abellus.2615:

Hi, I am in NA.

Celestial is not useless with proper builds. I’m sorry you don’t understand how to use it. There is a reason Anet made it the most resource-intensive Ascended set. I’m willing to change my trait spec, not my gear.

I am days away from having full Celestial Ascended Light armor as well; if Tempest is what you want, I can bring that too.

It’s the most time gated but not the most resource intensive. Check out the price of black diamonds. But really it isn’t meta which is what raid guilds will be looking for. I’m not saying that to start an argument; I’m just letting you know that’s how it goes. I suppose it’s worth a shot anyway but yeah.

The translation is bad. I do not know what it is.

If I have to guess, maybe you are talking about home instances. I know people would like them upgraded but Anet is doing the guild hall idea. I doubt we will receive any content that is customizable besides of guild halls.

Tried to use simple words to hopefully translate it better.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/World-completion-reward-for-regular-maps-Merged/first#post5783294

There was another thread but they merged it with a totally different topic. This thread in the link was also merged and it’s a bit hard to follow because of that. In any case this was supposed to be fixed and only seems to be happening yet for a select few people. It seems maybe if you do dry top and south sun completion BEFORE world completion then you get this bug. Idk tho. In any case people stop responding to those threads after they make a ticket so I bet support helps them and they don’t come back to the forums to complain about it. So I’d open a support ticket.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Guys, I’m working with Matt on getting his post over here. He will add some additional information, and we want to localize it so that our entire community — not solely the one that speaks English — will get this nice and meaty info.

Forum posting is a voluntary option for developers. It’s great that Matt shared the info, and extra great that he’s working with me to share this globally and to share additional bits that he comes up with, too.

I believe we’ll be able to post up the fuller version later today in English, and provide a fully-localized version in French, German, and Spanish on Monday in those forums.

Thanks Gaile. Maybe he wouldn’t mind posting something in the howler thread over in the bug forum. We noticed his comment about possibly fixing it. Any official response in that thread would go a long way just saying. Thanks for your hard work.

I didn’t read all the responses but look up their policy on changing your account ID. The same reasoning would stand for changing the guild name. Lots of suggestions have been made over the years such as keeping the new name attached to the old name in some way but anet doesn’t want to bother.

This isn’t a new idea. People coming to agree here or disagree aren’t going to change whatever the management at anet believes is the best course of action regarding this topic. Right now I’m sure all their resources are maxed out so even if it is something on the “to do” list it isn’t happening anytime soon. But regardless this is a dead horse topic. Feel free to debate it but I’m sure anet has made up their minds in this and another thread isn’t going to change it.

I can see the guild rage yet in two spots. Far left and the bear. Just saying. Not sure it matters but you had been blocking it out.

Already plenty of topics about this. It’s a highly debatable topic that nobody can agree on. Some people get really worked up about it so it would be best if you delete it and just look up some older threads about it.

Sometimes birds poop on my car after I just wash it too.
