How Long will Gem Store Kites be Available?

Astral Projections.7320

Not necessarily. They could remove the gem store item and leave the vender there for people who have already bought a kite and want to put a guild emblem on it. After all, they aren’t selling Wintersday and Flame & Frost weapon tokens right now but there is a vendor for them.

It’s not just an issue for you. I have 8 toons I play regularly. Since I am in a small guild, most of them recognize all my aliases but if the guild were any bigger I’m sure it would be confusing. Maybe in guild chat at least they should use account names and not character names.

No, this is not a service they offer. They only change for 2 reasons. One is if the account name breaks TOS and the other is if it has personal information such as a your real name or your account email. Otherwise they don’t because of accountability. For example, people might scam others and then change their account name to hide from the people they scammed.

Whether or not you can change your account name depends on a couple of reasons, either it breaks TOS or it has personal information such as your real name. If the account name you chose is your real name then you will be able to change it.

As for the second, have you contacted support? If not, go to the top of this page and select support then select ‘Ask a Question’. Make a ticket and fill out all the information you can. If you don’t know it, leave it blank. Then work with them about what you need.

If ANet is making money by selling the Fine crystals and they would lose money by doing what this thread suggests, what reason would they have to add Mystic Forged crystals? Every crystal forged would be a crystal not bought and therefore money lost to them. For an idea like this to happen it would also need to benefit the company.

As I understand the achievement you need to have all the necessary minis in your bank at one time. So yes, if you deposit 40, take them out and sell them you will need to get 40 minis back (not necessarily the same ones) to start again.

What it says to get the title is, ‘54 in collection’. Which, to me, implies you need all 54 in collection at one time.

Couple of suggestions. ^^
In the future, when you ask for help of this nature say what server you are on. People can only guest to either NA servers or EU servers depending where their home server is based.

Assuming you want to do the event, try this app: http://us.gw2stuff.com/en
Select the server you are on and watch to see when the event starts. You can then go there and join whoever is doing it. Or you can guest to another server that gets it done frequently and do it there. You can guest to 2 other servers every 24 hours but they have to be in the same region as your home server.

Assuming you just want to get to the karma merchant, try this page of the previous app http://us.gw2stuff.com/en/events/us its currently set on NA servers but can be switched to EU servers. This shows completed temples and you can guest to a server that has it done. For the Temples, dark blue means its done and red means its contested.

Krytans were descendants of Elonians, nothing to do with Canthans.

All humans came from Cantha, they just spread to Elona first before getting to Kryta. The Krytan settlers came from a line okittengs in Elona that split off north not long after arriving there from Cantha.

Okittengs? Lol. What word was that before the forum filter got hold of it?

I hope they bring back old skins as gem store items. Several skins I and many others tried very hard to get. It’s discouraging to know I’ll never have a chance to get them now. And people who are now buying the game are out in the cold also. It’s not good customer relations to not sell to people who want to buy.

So, if I wanted to annoy someone who I know doesn’t PvP I could get a bunch of us to put contracts on him so he would have a series of messages flash across his screen while he is trying to play or fill up his mailbox with mail he has to sit there and delete or else he won’t get his hearts rewards or mail from friends or purchases from the gem store?

ANet says they don’t have the ability to add or remove items from accounts. In the past where people have items they should not have, they made the people delete the items instead of removing the items themselves. Which is more work for them to them. Instead of directly removing they have to have the person delete then go back later and verify that they did so.

This was not the case. My friend went to sleep and when he woke up his password was changed, after recovering his account he logged on and the Dawn was gone.

Is this the guy that scammed another player out of it? And now you are depending on him being truthful to you? I don’t think so. If he lied to another player he is more than capable of lying to you. You need to keep this in mind when dealing with him.

By the way, a “friend” who cheats other people is not a person you need to remain friends with. As they say, birds of a feather flock together.

Since you are friends with people who cheat others and have been banned for the same thing, our conversation is terminated.

Astral Projections.7320

For people who only have a main and their main can’t get a weapon’s kill achieve because the skill has essentially no killing ability, then that’s a major pain. When you only have the one, it sort of feels like a cheat to make another profession just for that weapon.

Is making alt for weapons that your main character just cant equip “feels like a cheat” too?

If someone only has a main and has no interest in playing other characters, wants to do weapon kills for that profession only and finds it close to impossible to do yet knows its extremely easy to do on another profession, then yeah, it may feel like its cheating a bit to make an alt just for that.

By the way, you deleted out the part where I said I have one of each profession so I can switch easy. My remarks are only for someone with only one character.

When you quote someone, do the whole quote. Don’t edit out relevant information.

Yep, there is already a work around in place. Transmute to a white item to break the soulbinding then transmute to the item you want it on.

A guildie moved her Mad Memories from one character to another. In this case I think she had to transmute twice to break the soulbinding but it worked and she was able to transfer it.

Try killing things with a shield if you think scepter is bad.

Try killing things with a Warhorn on a Necromancer or Warrior.

True, true. As someone with 8 maxed professions I tend to overlook the not viable weapon/profession combinations. When I want to work on warhorn kills I go to my Ranger. For people who only have a main and their main can’t get a weapon’s kill achieve because the skill has essentially no killing ability, then that’s a major pain. When you only have the one, it sort of feels like a cheat to make another profession just for that weapon. Hopefully the new skills they are talking about will address this.

If he has more than one ticket submitted then he needs to close out all but one. Submitting multiple tickets slows support down. All they do is close them out and mark them as duplicates, which wastes their time and keeps them from responding to the initial ticket. If they haven’t responded to the initial ticket in 3 days or more, there is a stickied thread at the top, ‘Tickets for Review, 3 days and older’ that he can post on.

The first response you get is automated. It’s just to let you know they got your ticket and also to weed out people who have easily fixed problems. It’s the follow up responses that are from an actual person.

I stopped reading after OP said “13k-20k damage”

It MIGHT happen. What if someone stayed in the red area instead of dodging out, ran around in the red circle and was’ hit by each of the meteors? For all we know that’s what happened to the OP. He ran around inside the red circle, didn’t dodge out and was killed. This is not only sad, but to use OPs term, ironic. Maybe a kind soul could teach this poor guy how to dodge out of red circles.

You do have to give them time to respond. I see from the ticket number that you made the ticket today. You need to give them a minimum of 24 hours. For posting in the forum, they request you wait for support to respond to your ticket and only post if your matter can’t be resolved or if it takes more than 3 days.

And yes I got a (mistaken) ban for gold selling so I know they make mistakes but they have to work through all the tickets they get on a daily basis.

Ideas on server population stimulation.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Astral Projections.7320

Astral Projections.7320

I don’t know if this has been discussed before because I rarely visit the forums but I had this idea called Underflow. We all know that when a certain map has too many players, new incoming players are sent to an overflow server. Well why can’t we have a server that combine other servers with a low population on a map to make it more lively. Almost all the time, when creating a new character, or just leveling in pve areas, I feel like I am the only one in the map. It is dead. It almost feels like a single player game when doing pve.

Its such a waste because I’m sure Anet took a lot of time to create the beautiful world of Tyria but no one to share it with. I don’t know if this is a limitation Anet has but I’ve seen it done before with DAOC and due to low populations, started clustering servers together. Maybe this is something they can explore?

I was thinking about underflow servers the other day and I thought of a possible problem with them, that being the timers on the events. The meta events such as the Maw or Shadow Behemoth as examples. If people are on one server and they port to the event before it starts and routinely get put into an unknown server with an unknown start time for these events, there are going to be a bunch of unhappy people. Also, for example, I use this app to help me get events and it requires me to know what server I am on to use it.

Ok. I see what you mean. However, since its exceptionally unlikely that ANet will change this anytime soon then your best bet is to either write down the levels on each or get to max level crafting one at a time. If and when they ever change it, it will be a moot point for you. ^^

Tarnished became the unofficial NA RP server by advertising itself as one back before launch. RP guilds posted on Guru and other sites that they were going there. Back then Guru, and probably other sites, had a list of servers and what types of groups, languages and guilds were going to each.

From what you said, someone else (your cousin) is the actual owner of this account and you both play on this account. First, it may be that person who did something, not you. Second, it’s the account holder who needs to contact support not you. Third, ANet doesn’t like people sharing accounts because of situations like this.

There seems at present two problems. As mentioned above they currently considered part of the hair. The way it’s set up, if they separated them it might be then town clothes only or a conflict with helms. The second problem is, you can only use starter colors. Which means that if those conflict with the colors you have now, not much you can do.

People have been asking for this for months now, since launch. There have been multiple threads about it. I’m sure ANet knows about it but it seems low on the list of items they are working on.

You have 5 character slots and 8 crafting professions. What many people did is put one or 2 per character. Then you don’t have to pay to switch and you can see each character’s crafting level.

Edit: if you don’t have crafting maxed out you would be better off putting it on other characters. iirc, it costs 40 silver to switch between maxed crafts each time you do it. It’s not likely ANet is going to change the way they have it set up at the time. You would be better off cutting your losses and farming out the crafts to your alts.

Anyone with a “brain” should know that Arena net support and promote Tyranny “The One Man Army” theory in support to their Favorite Class; Thief.
Why Tyranny?
By the countless deleted/infracted/closed and pending threads concerning Thief stealth causing choatic irony in wvw.
Promoting Tyranny
Nearing to 1 year- by the countless nerf-rewardings this class have gotten, is absurd.
Remember how they “nerfed Perma-stealth”?
Well it is still here, i never believed them, because again.. thief is the only nerf-rewarding class and Favorite class.
So why would they stripp their Idol thief from Supremacy status for the sake of any one; classes, community, wvw,spvp and pve?
As long Arena net remain, so be theif stealth and Favoritism.
The only way to remove stealth is to replace Arena net.. and that will Never happen.
Our only Savior and Hope is carry on to other Mmo’s team who don’t believe in Favoritism, “the one man army” theory , Tyranny and Nerf-Rewarding class and most especially, Punishing the “less advantage class” in Favor of the “Advantage” class.
