They might not be hacked unless you knew the players who owned the account previously. There are plenty of supposed ‘legitimate’ players who bot.

Either way, report botters for sure.

Authenticator Questions/Concerns [merged]

‘Remember this network’ makes me think that I am allowing more than my one single IP.
The word network makes me think of multiple IPs and so should be changed to something more obvious as the single IP.
I did not tick it the first few times because I did not want to allow a network access.

Also, it errors a lot after authenticating.

You are a twit lol. You wanted to play a Warrior since headstart but you almost maxed out a Guardian instead. That’s funny.

Soulbound stuff is lost if you intend to delete the character (which would be stupid…), salvage it if you can.

Gifts of Exploration are account bound not soul bound so you can still use them on other toons.

i don’t understand this forum anyways, but yes its for developers.

thought it was like blizzards forums, where blizz always look through the forums ^^

warriors are simple as hell, which makes them boring, i would want them to redo that class

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum lists the forum categories.
Right above this one (Players helping players) is the Suggestions category. It would make sense to put suggestion there…

The Dev’s do read them but Devs associated with gameplay are more likely to read suggestions than players helping players. In this category you are more likely to get customer support/forum moderators reading your messages and they don’t get to make game changes.

Yes your L80 friend can join you in your story quests, he only has to be on the same map as you when you enter it and he will be prompted to join you (he can refuse it if he wants).

General explanation of skins please

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Bluestone.7106

Bluestone.7106

To copy the appearance of one item to another item you use transmutation stones.

You can get transmutation stones from the gem store or from completing a map 100%.

Basic transmutation stones are for L1-79 items.
Fine transmutation stones are for any items but save them for L80 items.

To transmute an item:

  1. Double click a transmutation stone (or right click it and select use). This will open the transmutation window.
  2. Drag the item with the stats you want into one side of the transmutation window.
  3. Drag the item with the skin/appearance you want into the other side of the transmutation window.
  4. Click the desired skin/appearance in the transmutation window. This will slide your option into the center, removing the unwanted skin/appearance.
  5. Click the desired item stats in the transmutation window. This will slide your option into the center, removing the unwanted item stats.
  6. Click the desired upgrade in the transmutation window. This will slide your option into the center, removing the unwanted upgrade. (You still need this step even if neither item has upgrades slotted).

Click Done or Transmute or whatever the submit button is called.

Equip your transmuted item.

"Training" Mobs, What is it and STOP IT!!!

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Bluestone.7106

Bluestone.7106

Edit: not going to get caught up in an argument over phrasing. Suffice it to say that when you are throwing around insults in a discussion, you should expect to be attributed a position that actually opposes that of the side you are insulting.

It is common to align people on one side or the other yes, that’s why I corrected the assumption or at least challenged it.

I don’t have a solution for the problem of training, but I understand it as a problem and I understand why people do it and don’t care about the consequences for other people. I think those people are selfish as what they do impacts on others negatively and forcibly, whereas wanting to not be the victim of a train does not directly have a negative effect on other players.

"Training" Mobs, What is it and STOP IT!!!

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Bluestone.7106

Bluestone.7106

Meh, I expect the current lot of MMO gamers to care little about other players so I tend to expect training in games that it matters.

Society promotes a ‘me-first’ attitude so we shouldn’t be surprised that it leaks into the way people play games. If getting you killed will save them then you are out of luck.

Yet you are asking people to stop and fight just because you can’t be bothered to also avoid the creatures they are avoiding. Is that not equally selfish?

I never said that. Please don’t make up things and attribute them to me.

Maybe this is too simple, but is the solution not to out-run the train too, possibly following the guy that got you that gift?

Why should you have to leave the area you are intentionally in just because some loser ran a bunch of mobs at you.

Training is poor MMO etiquette, but some people are just MMO-schmucks and either oblivious to other gamers and this don’t care about any other player’s game experience or do it intentionally for the same reason.

sPvP or WvWvW with my bro, possible ?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Bluestone.7106

Bluestone.7106

You should wait a while before bumping your posts Avatar. Both your posts currently say ‘about 5 hours ago’ so you obviously didn’t wait long at all.
I say this because the Mods don’t like it and you can save yourself some trouble as the powers associated with GW2 like to stick to their Rules/Code of Conduct (which is a great thing IMO).

On-topic: Yes WvW is easy, party up before or after heading into WvW, they are just big open areas to capture/control and defend.
for sPvP it gets a bit trickier. You can both join the same rotating pvp matchup but may end up fighting against each other half the time. I have heard some people say you can party up and then enter free tournaments as a party to play sPvP together but I have not yet tested that theory.

Number of items having to do with selling time?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Bluestone.7106

Bluestone.7106

It is possible that the TP tries to sell a suppliers complete amount in a single trade, so if a buyer purchases 100 copper the TP would make the sale from a seller who listed exactly 100 copper.

The full stacks may be favoured for small sales and not show as sold until the full amount is sold.

I’m just speculating here though.

I enjoy the challenge that the story missions pose. It makes you think more carefully about how you approach a battle and so rules out the gung-ho attitude that other MMOs promote.

Currently its a bit of a sneaky work-around but you can transfer to the other servers while they own certain WvW territory and run around all their claimed camps with little or no resistance. Then transfer back to your original homeworld.

This requires the servers to not be “Full” at the time.

Or alternatively you can wait till the WvW matches reset and then jump in when everything is fresh to get the POI’s and Vistas. Each new matchup should change the main map of your homeworld.

Overflow ... Overflow ... Overflow?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Bluestone.7106

Bluestone.7106

Okay, today I went to look at the WvW stats and all that stuff when I’m told you can’t look at that while your on an overflow server.

Why is that important? Why can’t we just be on overflow servers without queuing up? Is there something I’m missing, why is it SO freaking important that I move. Yes I know … you can leave the queue but that seems like a bad idea if you are now being penalized for being on these locations (aka if you want to look at WvW info).

What else can I not see while I’m on this dreaded, harsh, bad version of my world called …. wait for it … overflow!

Seriously, I’m just wanting to understand the reasoning so I can make a better judgement of my location in the game.

You don’t like overflow? So you would rather be outside the game waiting in a queue?…

I would rather be in an overflow than outside the game waiting in a queue.

Overflow not only removes the need for queues to get into the game it also lets them have more people in game/on a world at a time since any player with a server as their homeworld can log in without delay.

Ok so you have a situation that you come across often, you get immobilised/stunned/knocked down while trying to keep mobile.
Have you considered looking into the Warrior skills and traits to be prepared for that?
You have to dodge or interrupt to avoid the knockdown but you can break stuns and cure immobilisation with the right skills and timing their use well for your escape.

Leveling from 33 +++

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Bluestone.7106

Bluestone.7106

As everyone who struggles with leveling is told you need to:

  • Don’t skip events, if one pops nearby go do it.
  • Travel to, and do events/hearts in other zones. Right from the start there are 5 different 1-15 zones, they slowly merge but there is a lot of choice for the majority of leveling.
  • Gather from resource nodes. Gathering gives exp.
  • 100% zones. You get a big chunk of EXP for 100%, have heard it said it’s 1/4 of a level (heaps of exp at higher levels).
  • Revive people, this gives you exp too.

Basically everything gives EXP so the best way to level fast is probably to not skip anything.
