Guild Wars 2

First thing, it would be best to edit your post and take out your email.

If its been over 3 days since your last contact with support, go to the stickied: Tickets For Review (3 days and older) at the top section of this forum and post your ticket number and your statement of what happened. It will be reviewed there by Gaile Gray. Good luck.

It occurred to me to wonder about the people whispering you. I suspect that some of them was the person who made that post in the LFG site and his friends. What I suspect they did is make a trap for you and you walked right in it. They probably deliberately whispered you trying to get you to respond inappropriately so they could report you and get you banned. That is why you don’t respond to these people. At best you say a set phrase such as: That wasn’t me. It was someone posting under my name. If they say anything else, you report for harassment and then you block them.

In other words by responding to them the way you did, they won.

It’s very likely this will start up again as soon as you log in the next time. You need to decide ahead how you are going to handle this.

AyuReady.3952:

I logged in for 2 hours. I did about 6 dungeon runs. Never even talked in map chat. Didn’t talk to anyone in text chat because I was on voice chat. Then I get disconnected and a message saying account suspension for 72 hours. The night before was when this trolling thing happened.

The bans are not based on what you are doing at that time. They are based on events from one to several days in the past. A person will be reported and will be one of many reports each day. Then a staff person goes through these reports. Each is checked separately as to the truth of it. This takes time and is why bans are one to several days after the report. It’s more likely to be because of the trolling thing.

OmniPotentes.4817:

So far 0 keys = 0 disappointment. Still holding out. I refuse to give in. Vote with your wallets!

Absolutely. Everyone who buys these keys, especially multiples of them, proves to ANet that this is what people really want. No amount of complaining in the forums will change their minds. As long as they make money doing this they will continue to offer rare items in the BL chests.

Luke.4562:

1) @bluestocking: No trademarks, it’s a fictional name of mine.
2) @Tuck: Happy of not receiving a ban for doing nothing offensive
3) @Astral Projection: No need to criticize like that, i yet understood by the responses of other people (which i thanked and thanks again) that the customer support is the better way to go. I just had to understand what was the better way, that’s why i asked here.
One of your phrases catched my attention.. is it possible to review tickets basing on the reference number?

Sorry, you asked for help but didn’t really give enough information. Guess I got a little cranky. :-) What do you mean by reference number?

I would report, but there isn’t an option for it. That one and the report for guild name is difficult. After all, they can switch pets so the name is lost or leave the guild so it doesn’t show when staff checks. Maybe take a screen shot then report? Not sure what option to report you would use though.

You want to know what is the problem and say you want help but you won’t show the name. You also didn’t give a ticket number. No name means other forum readers can’t help. No ticket number means Guild Wars 2 staff can’t help. If you want help on the forum you have to give information.

As said before, contact support through a ticket. Most likely they will not discuss it with you though. They don’t discuss/argue their decisions.

There is one event that spawns non champion giants. It does scale somewhat if there are more players.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Giant_

Iirc there is at least one person who got the achievement by running this event. I think he posted in these forums. But I agree, a major grind. The risen giants in Orr should count toward the title.

LoneDeranger.5963:

This seems like the right thread to post my somewhat more serious suggestion:

Allow rangers to “switch consciousness” with their pet so that the player can directly control the pet while the ranger is being controlled by the AI.

That would be great. You can operate the trebuchet in animal form while sending the ranger form to duel the enemy with the one handed sword.

Add my thanks here to support also. I had an account problem and it was cleared in about a day. Very fast and professional.

The storyline sometimes has some logical flaws stemming from bad dialogue.

For example, the very first thing you do as a Norn is kill the wurm Issormir. This gains you the title of Slayer and you get referred to by this title. But when you think about it, this makes no sense. Why? Because Knut Whitebear brought the wurm there to be killed.

Knut Whitebear: By my own hand, I have brought the mighty wurm, Issormir. He waits above, in the plateau, for one such as you to challenge him.

Now really, he somehow managed (and it implies singlehandedly) to get that giant wurm up there in the plateau for someone else to kill. Now THAT is an accomplishment. He had to track it down, then either capture it and get it up there or enrage it enough that it followed him clear up there and get away safely. No easy task either way.

What it made me feel like is a kitten whose mother has caught and brought a mouse over to it so it can learn how to kill something. It does NOT make me feel like the mighty Slayer. To be referred to as Slayer for killing an animal someone else captured and essentially left staked out for me to kill feels condescending.

They needed someone to go thru the storyline with a red pen and a critical mind, looking for logical flaws and cleaning up the dialogue. The lines from Knut should have been removed and lines telling how that wurm was terrorizing the area added and how it needed to be killed. Then killing it would have earned me the title of Slayer.

You didn’t happen to have both in your inventory at the time you sold the one did you? If you did, you might have sold both. Did you check the trading post to see if you have another for sale?

No doubt you already thought of this, but sometimes people can miss something simple. :-)

Agree. Many people have multiple professions and play them all. Account bound Legendarys would enhance this play style. There is no real reason for the Legendary to be soulbound. Especially since you could have earned it through playing all your characters.

Maybe, in designing crafting ANet should have made exotics out of one type of lower tier item in addition to the T6 items and not just T5, but even lower. That would bring demand up for all of the lower tier items. As it stands now once you hit level 80 you don’t have much use for them.

For example an exotic that requires 5 T6 vemon sacs to also require some T1 venom sacs.

Henge of Denravi server. The audio log collector is missing from Wayfarers foothills and there is a sonic telescope lying on its side where he was. Don’t know about the other sites.

If you are already unhappy at level 58, you are going to be really unhappy at level 80. And the 5 gold isn’t that much to make for a level 80. If you are going for a Legendary, then yeah, you will be happier with a larger character.

20 garlic and 40 kale for one hour of buff? That seems a trifle…..excessive. You would think that the people who design this sort of thing would check against prices on the trading post.

Wow. 20 garlic heads and 40 kale leaves? I WAS interested in using it before I read this. That sounds more like a recipe for a feast. Two garlics and four kale leaves for an hour buff would be the limit I would be willing to use.

I guess just hold on to them. They don’t take up room in your inventory and maybe one day a new recipe will come out and they will be worth something. Or if you haven’t leveled crafting yet, use them for that,

Yay, sexist jokes. They are so clever and funny.

I’m a female myself and it IS my prerogative to keep the man waiting. ^^

Just because you’re female doesn’t make your comment any less sexist.

There, there. (Pats Snow White on the hand comfortingly) It will be all right. It was just a little joke. No need to fret yourself about it.

Yes, an option to put ground targeting skills on target would be great. It’s been a real learning experience, targeting things with the mouse while on the run and while using skills. I still forget occasionally and use those skills without the mouse on the target. Maybe it could be made as a trait, since there are traits that change skills (such as ranger traps) from targeting at where you stand to ground targeted at mouse pointer.

Henge of Denravi server. The Audio Log Collector in Wayfarer Foothills is is gone. Where he was now has a sonic telescope lying on its side. Haven’t checked the other sites.

When I vote for skimpy armor, I’m not talking Aion skimpy but Guild Wars skimpy.
Examples:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:Ritualist_Asuran_armor_f.jpg

Really, we need a better word than skimpy. To many people see that word and think nearly naked or something.

you want to suggest that for town gear or alt gemshop skins or whatever that’s fine but how is that armour to go into battle with (the first one looks like a teddie? the second one apparently already has a similar incarnation in game somewhere, it’s been linked already) imo Anet has taken a few wonderful steps away from their previous game designs (if that’s any indication I never played the first GW) and need to keep forging ahead into something new, not going backwards.

And you think the Winged Set from Guild Wars 2 is “armor to go to battle with”?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Winged_Armor_Female_Human.png

Yes, the Elite Enchanter armor was armor and not as skimpy as the Winged armor.

Behellagh.1468:

They are in the same spots as before, just not marked.

The one in the Wayfarer Foothills is across from the refugee contact on the green side/lower part of the map where the road cuts through into the snow side. It’s near, relatively speaking, to the gate to Hoelbrok .

The one in the Diessa Plateau is near, again relatively speaking, to the gate to the Black Citadel, near the Nolan Waypoint. There are others, I just don’t know where they are, those are the only two I ever used.

Hmmm. I went there to the one in Wayfarers to turn in a couple of logs 2 days ago. it was the same one I had given the 150 logs for the monthly. He wasn’t there (Henge of Denravi server). Haven’t looked since the last update though. What was strange, there was an object on the ground where he had been. It looked like a piece of dredge machinery. A drill bit looking thing with a base.

Edit: went back and looked. The thing I saw was a sonic periscope lying on its side. The drill part was the base where is goes into the ground.

I have 8 level 80s, one of each profession and at least one of each race. I gave up thoughts of a Legendary once I read the requirements. I see people complaining about using the same 5 or 10 weapon skills over and over and to me it feels I have 90 skills, minimum. Then you add all the F skills! I switch weapons and use different ones when I play so it’s actually way more than 90.

For gear, at first I got all exotics. But after that I just got greens and whatever rares I got as drops. I buy exotics to gear up, but only when my bank balance goes above a baseline amount or only if I have farmed enough mats to craft.

As for ascended gear, it’s not necessary unless you are doing high level fractals. This game was designed, I think, to be done by characters wearing rares.

Unless you are determined to have a Legendary or to get thru the content as fast as possible or you just can’t stand to go thru leveling again then I would recommend at least one alt. It can make a big difference in keeping combat fresh.

That sounds about like my luck. One exotic, ever, that I can recall dropped outside a world boss and it was a level 60 something. Very occasionally a rare will drop. I depend on the world bosses for higher level loot

ShadyNZL.9018:

Change it to Chuck Ettin Norris….

Or Nuck F Chorris.

Apparently it’s a bug. There is a thread in the Game Bugs forum and the Dev was asking for details.

He is a SHE and it’s a woman’s prerogative to keep the man (you) waiting. She has to do her nails first. :-P

A lot of people complained about the clutter from so many titles. Maybe the players turned them off voluntarily.

Yeah, while the Effin was kind of marginal at best, the Chuck Norris is against TOS. It just took a while for someone to bother to report you.

Tried it on my iPad but it didn’t work. The submit button couldn’t be used.

I tried a fix, let me know if it’s still broken. I don’t have an iPad to test it myself.

edit: you may need to do a hard refresh of the page, not sure how it’s done on iPads (like shift+ reload on Firefox)

That fixed it. Very nice.

Tried it on my iPad but it didn’t work. The submit button couldn’t be used.

A way to search those only would be nice also. For example, a way to search the Dev’s posts only.

Okay when i go to look at the website i get this image. (attached)

i tired on all web browsers and it is still like this

I just checked War Fast and it was fine on my browser. Sometimes the site bugs out or something. If you try again after a while it works. I’ve seen it do that to mine also.

They already said it’s not a bug. They know people want this but they have no plans at this time to change it.

This is what I got from another thread.

MokahTGS.7850:
This is actually not a bug, it is working as intended. It is not optimal, but to save the names of all of your pets (read: all of everyone’s pets) would require another large name database that ANet did not create. Currently the pet name feature saves the name in the slot, not the pet, so changing out the pet type resets the slot name.
Perhaps someday they will change this, but it is not a bug.

This is pretty much exactly what’s going on.
Tl;dr: we may change this some day, but it’s not going to happen in the near future, and it’s not a bug.

Not saying its a good system, just saying its not a bug and this is the reason they say why the game doesn’t have this feature.

I’ve leveled 8 professions to 80, kept them in masterworks updated every 10 levels. I transmuted each time to keep the look I wanted.

I got plenty of the transmutation stones from discovering cities and completing areas. If you don’t think you will have enough, use a character space to make an alt, go thru the cities to get the stones, delete and repeat.

I funded my gear purchases by farming on my first level 80. He can easily make the necessary gold.

I got a ban, which I think was for “gold selling/buying”. I don’t know exactly what for because I was never told and it was reversed after 27 hours, but I had traded gold with 2 other guild members to get the Golden title. Since I doubt I met any other parameters, there must be only one parameter for RMT suspensions. That saying, if you do get a ban and you appeal then I wouldn’t expect any problems getting your account reinstated.

It seems everyone who makes a name in bad taste and gets a suspension or a renaming comes on the forum and protests that it was
a) not in bad taste
b) unfair

My feedback to you is that it is in bad taste and if you got a suspension rather than just a renaming, that means you did the same sort of thing previously and didn’t learn. Whatever made you think that someone would look at that name and immediately think Giganticus Lupicus? There is only one thing that people would immediate think of, and that’s not it.

No please no more skimpy armors, make REAL armors, not a piece of metal showing skin and boobs…..

This thread is referring to the medium armour, not heavy plated armour.

It can be applied to every single type of armour. T3 human cultural, and all the “thief” theme ones for example…

I’m not against skimpy armors, but this game has 90% skimpy and 10% normal. It’s a bit too much IMO.

I beg to differ

Panda.1967:

3) I did some checking and have found these numbers for female armors

• Human Light: 10 Skimpy, 25 Full Coverage, 1 Questionable
• Human Medium: 2 Skimpy, 34 Full Coverage, 2 Questionable
• Human Heavy: 4 Skimpy, 31 Full Coverage, 3 Questionable
• Norn & Sylvari differ by 1-2 per armor class from the numbers on Human
• Male armor’s differ by 3-7 per armor class

Norn Cultural: 1 Light, 2 Medium, 2 Heavy
Sylvari Cultural: 2 Light, 1 Medium, 1 Heavy
Charr Cultural: 0 Light, 1 Medium, 0 Heavy
Asura Cultural: 0 ALL

As you can clearly see there are a total of 26 “skimpy” vs 123 non-skimpy female armors… I’m no math major here but by my calculations that is 82.5% Non-skimpy and 17.5% skimpy.

If we add in the 4 “super skimpy” (1 Light, 3 Heavy) armors that exist on Males… and the 3 “skimpy” Norn Male cultural…

That brings us to 33 “skimpy” vs 249 non-skimpy… 12% “skimpy” 88% non-skimpy.

The number’s don’t lie, and if you don’t trust my numbers here, feel free to go look at all 282 armor sets in the game and run the numbers for yourself.

My guess is what he is actually saying is, 90% (here he made up a number) of the females he sees are wearing skimpy armor. Which makes the point, if a large percent of the females you see are wearing skimpy armor which is a small percent of the choices available then that tells you what people want more of.

You can do it. Just be aware that either of you might get banned for gold selling/buying and will then have to contact support to be reinstated. It wouldn’t hurt to first have a conversation in chat saying what you are doing, screenshotting it, and sending that in if needed.

KratosAngel.7289:

I know it does work as a click : I’ve already bound it. But here, I’m talking about the scroll.

Don’t think so. There doesn’t seem to be a way to put that in as a keybind as it simply scrolls the page when you are in that section.

Yah, if you go thru customer support rather than in game reporting then you would use harassment. That would be a better option than verbal abuse. Thoough you can do both if they use bad language also. Good luck. Send in the screenshot and my guess is they will get a suspension. Then they can come crying to Account Issues about how they were unfairly banned. Lol.

You can, not as scroll I believe, but as a click. I have my dodge bound to my mouse wheel as a click.

Have you ever talked to them? Maybe they think you are actually a bot.

If this was happening to me, I would speak to them. If they admit they are just trying to get me in trouble, I would calmly and rationally (important!) ask them to stop. Get them to say they won’t and get them to say they are just trying to get me in trouble. Screenshot this. Then I would tell them I have the screenshot and tell them if they do it again, I will report them (for verbal abuse, best of choices available). I would not speak to them again, no matter what they say. Talking to them again will very likely get you in trouble for saying something unwise. If they bothered me again, I would then report them.

dronzer.8392:

You could just buy GW1 and run through that, can’t remember how long it took overall to get those 30 points but I can tell you it definitely wasn’t too long.

While the population in gw1 may have dropped, it’s not zero. Find a guild that is doing that and buddy up with someone who is also starting on it. With both of you working on it, it’s not so bad. Better than sitting wanting it and hoping it gets added to the game in a few years.

Their underwater elites make no sense. You can have the lesser necro minions but not the elite one? Where is the logic on that? Several professions don’t get an underwater elite until they get way down into the 30 point slot. So you have to buy two10 point elites first then the 30 pointer. And you better not want a different 30 pointer more or you get to accrue another 30 points. So for some professions, they need to get 50 skill points before they can get their elite underwater skill. Others, such as a Ranger, can get it with as their first 10 point elite.
