There is Tyria, the land where LA is and there is Tyria, the world. They could always bring back dwarves and claim this note meant all the dwarves in Tyria, the land and not Tyria, the world.
Unlikely, maybe. But it gives them an way to do it IF they decided they wanted dwarves back.
Considering how low the drop rate was for anything except candy, you could have bought that many rich coffers with it as a chance and still not gotten even one. After all, how many tickets did you get from the rich coffers? Many people bought a number of coffers trying for that and didn’t get any. So now you have one recipe. They are likely account bound and if so, you only need one anyway.
While I agree that it would be nice to know if my skills have helped someone, on the screen info would just add to the clutter. Maybe it could come up in the combat log, or game messages in chat instead.
One problem is with people who bought cultural armor, do the story line and then get a race change. The race change would not only have to reset in some manner not only all of your personal story but the cultural armor as well. The storyline branches, how would it reset all that? Would the player need to select each branch of his new personal story? What if he did Order of Whispers and bought armor and weapons there and then choose Priory for his new storyline, does he get new armor and weapons? It may be too much of a programming problem to do all that.
GW has always had armors that were either pricey or insanely expensive. In Guild Wars 1, the insanely expensive armor was the Obsidian. These armors are the ones you wear to flaunt. They aren’t meant to be easily attainable. Since there isn’t really a gear grind, but a cosmetic grind, some armor must be outrageously priced.
Make sure your computer is secure. Check for key loggers also. Best to change your password and email. You can get a one time account restoration so make sure your computer is clean first because if you don’t and it happens again, you will not get your stuff back.
They were getting locked because there already was a merged thread on the front page and people kept making more instead of using the thread the moderators wanted them to use.
Just to make sure. You are using your email as the log in, not your account name? Some people tried to log in using the account name and get a rejection.
It’s my understanding that if you infuse one of them you can wear both. That they can both be worn as long as they aren’t identical.
And yes, the part about being unique isn’t clear is you haven’t played a game which has that meaning before. Unique can mean, it’s the only item with that set of stats. Not that you can’t wear two of them.
At some point they “may” have to add a perfect salvage kit that removes the skin from the stats. If they keep adding skins on a frequent basis like this it collides with not only exotic gear but especially with ascended gear.
Now the perfect salvage kit in Guild Wars 1 didn’t remove skins but there wasn’t transmutation either. It certainly didn’t have hard to get ascended gear that would be a burden to replace. If they took something like this with the function added to separate the skin from the base object, then this might work. You wouldn’t get the option to get both previous skins back, just the current skin and a generic base item with the stats. Maybe they could use the look of starting armor and weapons for the base. The generic backpacks would have no visible appearance.
You could then put the skin onto another item or store it in your bank.
People stopped posting in them and they fell off the front pages. If you search your posting history you can find them. No conspiracy theories about how they were all removed needed. Seek and you shall find.
Idk. Would the game have to remember the original items it came from? And what if you transmuted an item more than once? Would you get a chance to select from a list of all the skins you used? Would you also then get access to the previous item’s stats?
They should just remove the tassels on most of them (at least one handed weapons). Terrible clipping when sheathed with them swinging all willy nilly into my character.
Don’t you dare cut my tassels off! That’s my favorite part of the weapons.
My tailor is sneaking up behind you with a pair of scissors. “Just let me get rid of this string dangling down”.
Sorry that you lost the leggings but there is no way to get it back besides repurchase.
Support will help you if it’s the game’s fault but if its yours, you are required to take full responsibility for your mistake. If they didn’t do this, support would be flooded with requests from people who sold something, salvaged something, transmuted something or deleted a character with something on it and they want support to restore the item. They are already busy. This increase of work would bog them down tremendously.
To replace is not a simple fix. For example, what if people salvaged something, sold the components on the trading post then wanted the item back. Does support go into the other people’s inventory and take the bought items back? Do they just make the item up and give it to the seller? They don’t like to just make up items because they have to keep the economy of the game in mind. In your case, lets say you bought armor from someone to transmute it. Do they reverse the sale? Take the money away from the other person and give it to you and give them back the armor? Do they give you two new set of leggings? Do they give you back your transmutation stone? It’s not that these things are impossible. It’s that tracking down the steps and reversing them costs them time and money. Time and money that support would have to take away from fixing other things.
Sorry your favorite play style isn’t in the game OP but this is how the game was designed from the ground up. All combat is centered around not having the Trinity. To put it in now, they would have to rethink the entire game. So what you are asking isn’t a minor change or fix but a complete changeover from their vision of a trinityless game to a more conventional game. When people bought this game, they bought it expecting no trinity. To change it now would be would be to betray all the people who purchased it with that in mind. Your wish for a monk can’t overrule the wishes of millions for no monk/trinity.
Largos would be awesome to play can you imagine playing a thief largos?
Norn are the replacement for dwarves so that’s in the game already, drunken hyperbutch strong angry smelly men running around yelling at everything, yep they’re tall dwarves alright.
It’s fairly obvious Norns aren’t tall dwarves. The female Norns don’t have beards. ^^
It would actually be a nice addition – try looking at it from the point of view of a dead guy. You’re about to waypoint, when you see someone running towards you. You patiently wait as they dispatch the mobs that kill you, and then when you think they’re going to revive you, they just run off, adding insult to injury.
If they are going to do stuff like that then what will stop them from notifying the dead person that they are coming, actually coming over and killing the mobs then running off.
It does open a new avenue for a type of griefing where some will notify that they will rez then deliberately not show up. Amusing themselves by thinking of the other person lying there waiting for them.
If I could get a moderators opinion on how feasible this idea is it would be much appreciated. Otherwise I feel like i’m going to be wasting a lot of time explaining the same thing over and over.
Just a comment here. The moderator’s job is to police the forum and make sure people obey the forum rules. They have no idea on whether or not something like this is feasible. Devs, who do, rarely post in threads and they don’t give either positive or negative feedback on threads of this type. They read them or the moderators pass on these suggestions but they don’t respond on the forum to them.
I doubt there will be more free world transfers. Iirc, that was back when there were no guesting and people were finding the servers they liked. This constant switching around caused problems with WvW rankings so free transfers were discontinued after guesting was implemented. Even if they do have free transfers at some time, it might not be for months to years.
Pretty much you have 3 options. Guest to play with your guild and earn money in game to buy gems, buy gems with real money or delete all your characters and transfer for free to their server, assuming it isn’t full.
Nice idea but people are impatient. I’ve had people port away when I am battling the mobs that took them down. They don’t want to wait the minute or two that it would take to kill the veteran and his friends. Maybe the notification will encourage them to stay but I have to wonder.
For the dwarves, maybe. It’s a entire world. It’s not impossible that some dwarves moved far away and lost contact with the dwarves in the Guild Wars 1/Guild Wars 2 known area. If they are far enough away they might not have known of Primordus and the other dwarves might not know of them. If they were completely separated, maybe the ritual don’t affect them since they didn’t consent to it. Some if these dwarves could then come back into the known areas. This map shows how small the known area is in comparison to the unknown.
Maybe when you zone into an area, you have the option to leave the underflow server and go to your home server. This way people who actually want an empty server, to stay in their language group or get away from someone they don’t like can do so. Everyone else can be in the underflow server. It’s not a great compromise maybe, but it should handle most objections.
People don’t get a suspension so much for profanity as they do for abusive language. If you got a suspension then it was because you cussed someone, not something. There is a big difference.
It’s against forum rules to “name and shame”. Making judgement about what happened is up to support after you report. Not to put out here for random forum readers to see. Support will be able to see your chat log on their computer. It’s unnecessary to show it on the forum.
I recommend you remove the attachment or block out the names if you leave it.
They should just merge servers in PvE tbh. In the beta and just after release we had a lot more fun with heavily populated areas, and being put into an overflow because the map was full was never a problem. It felt great to be around other players, and now the game feels dead even though there are probably hundreds of others in the same area, just on different servers.
Unfortunately your suggestion would result in an annoying pop-up appearing when your zone reaches an artificial arbitrarily low population. I prefer this guy’s solution: http://youtu.be/XMEq4PAFmnI?t=17m48s – the relevant section of the video is about 4 mins long. If you don’t wanna watch it, here’s the tl;dw: merge all the servers in PvE, and only create overflows when the map actually fills up. A simple algorithm automatically throws you into the appropriate overflow, and you can choose to manually switch to another if you want. This also allows for more advanced options like different versions of the same area, depending on how far your personal story has advanced.
That description sounds like the district system in Guild Wars 1. The game made shards of towns depending on population numbers, anywhere from one district to over one hundred depending on how busy the town was. When you zoned into town it would put you in a district and you could ask to move to a lower number, more populated district and it would do so if there was a slot open or you could move to a higher number, less populated district. This allowed you to find the level of crowding that you liked or to move away from annoying people. This is the type of system that I wish GW would bring back.
You forgot about something – districts were still segregated for “america/europe”/“country/international”/[district number]
players from America had whole another districts than european – and in european there was many national districs, and some international (as I remember player had acces to their own national districts and all internationals…)
I think those “national/international” was something like serwers in gw2 – but still players could switch this districts – but again there was no WvW…..
I didn’t forget about it, but I had figured my explanation of the district system was sufficient for what we were talking about here. Especially since a person on a NA server can’t guest to a European server, and vice versa. I made the assumption that underflow servers wouldn’t be segregated as the districts were but made of 2 groups, NA and European.
Edit: your post does bring up an interesting point. The language consideration. People from different languages have already staked out different servers and may not appreciate being placed in one big multi language server. How would this be addressed?
It used to be full of people farming but then they “improved” it. Longer time between events, events now spawn champions, mobs appear that can one -shot you, other mobs spawn hordes of veteran mobs that are both hard to kill and also do not drop anything. Change by change they made it less attractive to go there.
Is there any way to transmute these dragon helms so that it will be account bound? I bought two cheap level 10 white helms and was ready to use the dragon skin, double clicked it, and it says in red letters that transmuting this will become soulbound! I thought transmuting them to generic white armors will make them account bound…
Any suggestions?
It’s a skin so you aren’t actually transmuting it, you are applying it. If you want it account bound then used a transmutation after that to break the soulbinding.

I remember being in a level 15 zone at level 30 and some areas were too hard to solo because they spawned faster than I could kill them. I went back at level 80 and demolished them, even though my downscaled level was only one or two levels above the mobs level. Low level champions were something me and my friends used to go around, now they are something that we can try to kill. Some people even solo them. They take time and effort of course but they are possible. From this I can tell my character is much stronger than it was, or maybe I’ve just learned how to play. I guess if someone wants to feel uber powerful the level 2 area for a level 80 with full exotics is a good place to visit. One shot the mobs there till you get your fill of it then you can head to a higher zone for a little more challenge.
Please ANet, consider this as a something to look into. The game is so much more fun when there are other people around. They start talking in chat. Informal groups form, split up, reform. This game needs a certain population amount per zone to really shine. Without it, it’s frustrating and lonely. I think it discourages people from going to the mid level zones when they feel isolated there. Those zones end up being the ones people do as they are leveling and then never return to.
Is been 11 days since anyone has done it on my server. I did it once back then. Having a bunch of Karkas suddenly appear around me in town and one-shotting me after the town had already been cleared out was sufficiently annoying that I got the achievement and that was it for me.
It’s either people are too busy doing the dragon bash or the rewards vs effort on that event are not right. I would guess the rewards vs effort.
It seems they wanted this event to be done by big groups that want a challenge. But those people aren’t stepping up to do it. They may need to make it something that a party of people can do. And maybe, scale it so one person can clear out a town, even if that person can’t do the queen.
The way it covers a large part of your screen is too annoying for me. If only it ran in the background, where you checked the event(s) you are interested in and you get a notification with a pop up when the event started, then I would run it on my computer. Until then I prefer to run the app separately on my iPad and just keep keep an eye on it.
It’s a problem. I don’t do fractals either and only a few people log on in my guild anymore so can’t really do the guild bounty stuff with them. If we ever do it we will prolly need to admit temporary guildies who only join to do that then leave. What you might do is ask in LA chat if there are guilds that are accepting temporary members to do bounties and join for that.
As for the laurels, I bought amulets for my characters but from now on I’m saving mine. Hopefully in the future they will make ascended items craftable or have more ways to get them. If not, by then I will have a supply of laurels to get what I can. And hopefully have some commendations.
Any events that give you exp that are not hearts are the DEs. Doing all the cities is a good way to get several levels easily as well as learning where things are.
You not have to stay in that one area. There are 5 starting areas. Switch around and do events in all 5 to level within a certain range.
But anyway, events give a lot of exp and you can do them repeatedly. Talk to named NPCs and try to see if you can trigger them. Look for orange circles on your map or NPCs with orange emblems over their heads or orange crossed swords.
Are you asking if we currently can or if ANet can add this at some time?
If currently can, then no. We can not.
If they can add it later, maybe. Depends if they add player housing at some time.
IIRC Anet said they were more interested in making the home instance change over what choices you made in the personal story.
Strangely enough, no-body cares what effect it will have on their home instance…since people are way, way more invested in making a home instance or home zone that they have freedom of creation in.
They did say before the game was released that player housing was a possible feature that might do.
I haven’t been back to my home instance since I did area completion in the cities. At this point it’s a failed concept imo. At least with the Hall of Monuments in gw1 you were able to update that with tapestries, armor, minipets, weapons, and statues. The personal instance in gw2 is impersonal.
I guess perhaps I was looking into it wrong. The at PAX this is what Massively reported from ANet. But tbh, I wouldn’t be surprised if they realized “Aaahhh! kitten!! Look at all these other games with housing and look at all those people getting really happy about it…time to change our priorities!”
A few paragraphs down: “That led to an obvious question about whether or not home instances would start to become more like housing, at which point we were informed that the team sees home instances serving a different purpose than housing. Apparently the home instance is meant more as a reminder of your personal story rather than as a place for characters to return to as a home base.”
Since wiki is not maintained by ANet, it’s information is undoubtably outdated and the article is more current. But it seems fairly clear to me that there will be player housing, unless there isn’t, and it won’t be in the home instance, unless it is. ^^
At the right is an overlay that can go on your UI and you can see the timers while you are playing. It’s big though so that may be too annoying. I use my iPad and just gance at it occasionally.
I briefly tried a different mmo some months back. It was sooo boring. You needed to gain reputation for your faction or whatever it was and you had to run from the NPC, named Henry, to a spot in the city then back to him then to another spot then back to him then to another spot then back to him then…… I literally fell asleep while playing that game. My eyes closed and I started to fall over and jerked awake. Uninstalled shortly after that.
And don’t get me started about the loot rolls. I had only played GW at that time and that was new and unpleasant. Combat was a big yawn also.
Maybe I’m being exceptionally naive but I can’t think of anything wrong with Radomir Zlatan Lol. I googled Radomir and Zlatan and found them to be common names and Radomir Zlatan didn’t pull up anyone famous that would trigger a ban. Lol is perfectly inoffensive. Soooo Idk. I am curious what Gaile Gray will say now. Maybe it’s just a mistake. That as happened before. A guy with character name Grey was told to chosen his name and it turned out to be a mistake.
Be sure to post your ticket number. That’s important.
