Guild Wars 2

I did this before they even expanded the bank tabs to the current number and a ticket to CS got me a refund of gems pretty quickly.

I see some claiming motion sickness, etc…..I have to ask if you these people are actually PLAYING the game zoomed all the way in like in first person view? I can see that being an issue with the head movement, but WHY on green earth would you play like that? You loose all positional information of the world around you….you have been playing the entire game handicapped…shrug

This outrage is funnier than the actual visuals….pure awesome sauce!

lorazcyk.8927:

Press B and go to Edge of the Mists, there never seems to be a queue there. Depending where you spawn the re-traiter is right in front of you, or up the stairs, (I don’t know about the other spawn)

You can then press B again, and there’s an arrow on the bottom right of that window that you can click to go back to PvE.

Great tip. Thanks!

Cameirus.8407:

whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired for being a pillock and not understanding the point ……(yada yada yada)

I think people calling for people to loose their lively-hood over something harmless like this should have their account perma-banned…..see how that works?

Wow….just wow.

I have yet to see anyone give a valid reason this is causing any hindrance to actual gameplay (borderline mental disorders and lack of humor is NOT an actual hindrance).

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

It appears they have been removed already, I just logged in and all the heads are normal. At least on my end.

There appears to be some trigger mechanism with zoning that turns them back on. I think it’s awesome (both in visuals and monitoring the uber-over-reactions of some players….absolutely unbelievable).

Seriously? How does this actually effect your game in any way….it’s purely cosmetic.

(Not to mention it is funny as hell….Kudos to Anet!)

From what I understand, going the “tankie” route might allow you 3 or 4 hard hits before going down (where the DPS-Zerker will go down on the 2nd hit (Possibly 3). This leads to the theory (and rightfully so) that BOTH of these NEED to avoid the damage (the “Tankie” can just be a bit more sloppy and stay in the fight).

You can’t run the Tankie build and have high DPS (there are exceptions….Bosses that are immune to crits for one), so the theory is that if you want to be the most effective party member, go full Zerker, and learn to avoid damage better. Unfortunately (for the sake of Build Diversity), that theory is not wrong.

I’ve heard of FotM players that take screenies of all unknown players they do runs with so if this happens they CAN report after the fact. It’s kind of sad….

After the update goes live, you will be able to select the LOOK of that back piece and add it to ANY existing back piece that you have. As mentioned above, that will NOT effect the stats of the back piece in any way.

In addition, the Ascended items will become ACCOUNT bound, so you can take the piece and give it to your other character (but again, this has no bearing on the existing stats or changing them).

If you want an Ascended PVT back piece, you will have to obtain one.

From the notes provided by the Devs so far, any transmuted item in your possession will add the current skin and the PREVIOUS skin to your wardrobe. Note that items that have been transmuted MULTIPLE times will only provide those LAST two skins to the wardrobe. Again, this is just what we have been told up to this point.

There have always been a few of these that are not solo friendly. Since this is a MMO, I’m not sure that having a few places where you need to find some help to complete a goal is completely out of line for the designers. Yes, they cause me problems as well, but I usually don’t have a major issue getting someone nearby to assist me (but I can see where this will present a problem when server populations dwindle).

You cannot access a guild bank (any Guild bank) while guesting.

Your old guild bank is still intact, it is just connected to your old server. To access it again, you must transfer back to the old server.

Empyreal Shards are also in Jumping Puzzle Chests if you don’t care for Dungeons.

I agree that Vigil is better than LA was (in terms of proximity of everything). Selling access to crafting IS a questionable practice (but I get they have to sell gems….but I’m not paying for that when I can craft elsewhere for free).

I DO wish they would install a direct portal from Vigil to Ebonhawke as it certainly has the most user friendly crafting area in the game.

Karma can be used to get Exotic gear and Obsidian Shards (used in Ascended crafting). Both require desired Orr Temples to be OPENED (but the server guesting feature makes this much more feasible now).

The other 2 are mostly right (but look at the wiki lists of what you CAN buy for them and decide yourself….really depends on what you do in the game as to what can be most useful).

Lankybrit.4598:

Vigil’s Keep sounds a bit tricky to get to, but I’ll give it a go.

Nah….go out of the North LA exit (only one left….the NE one is blocked now) and just follow the road north. Might run into some pirates in the small village but you should be able to get around them without a fight if you are too low level.

OR (as mentioned above), you can just go thru PvP area by Entering the Mists and then exiting the portal (that SAYS it goes to Lions Arch…..it goes to Vigil Keep area now). BTW, that can get you from anywhere to main hub for free….

I don’t think this is question of CS being able to technically DO what you are asking, but that you violated a purchasing policy that is likely a strict business rule enforced by NC Soft (above ANet’s control). However it happened, you basically took merchandise from NC Soft and then refused to pay for it (AFTER you agreed to pay for it).

Having charges refused or reversed is a VERY serious breach of trust between a buyer and seller. It is a much bigger deal than you seem to understand and many companies financial arm have a ZERO tolerance policy regarding payment issues like this. I’m not saying there is no way to get this reversed (and pursing it thru CS is your only option), but I don’t recall ever hearing this type of ban being reversed (but I’m certainly not privy to those kinds of decisions beyond forum comments.

Good Luck.

I swear there was no rotten smell when I got here…..(then again, I have a bit of a stuffy nose…).

Elementalists require a LOT of sequenced and timed button rotations to obtain maximum DPS (and often to maintain survivability). They are a LOT of work to play well and efficiently (but they can certainly be fun to play and provide a very strong sense of accomplishment).
Necros cannot put out the sheer DPS of an Elementialist or Thief, but can certainly kill (tho a bit slower) and has better capability to survive than both. I really enjoy playing my Necro in all areas of the game (tho I don’t play him enough, to be honest).

Hope this helps you decide, but then again I could NEVER consider playing only one class for the length of time you describe….too much an Alt-aholic (I have one of each class and all but my Ele is 80).

While your suggestion is an “interesting” one, you should put it in the suggestions forum.

To be brutally honest, racial skills are even less of a factor to most players than you seem to make them out to be. I think part of the reason they ARE so anti-climatic is that the introduction of the (powerful) PvE skills in GW1 frankly “broke” the game in many respects. Uber-powerful skills have been tried by Anet and if you notice, they do not exist here….for a reason.

Promoting racial “diversity” at the risk of unbalancing the game (some would add, further) is not something that is really needed (at least form where I stand). I don’t disagree that the racial differences in this game are largely an illusion, but for the sake of game balance that just might be what Anet was attempting to achieve in the first place.

I think the key word in ALL those questions is need.

Unless you are going to play high level fractals with ALL your Alts, full Ascended gear is NOT something that is “NEEDED”, so the questions are more of a perception issue with the ex-players (IMO).

I think the bottom line here is that most sane players can agree that Zerk damage is the highest and needs to be reduced to bring it more in line with other build damage types.

Squabbling over the exact percentages before the changes are even available for testing is unproductive and borderline petty and nit-picky in the extreme.

My take on this is that after the change, if Zerkers can prove they are not longer near the top of the DPS output in the game, then these complaints have some merit and should be taken seriously. Otherwise, Anet is doing what needs to be done to try and promote some build diversity into the game. Period.

The assumption that the changes will be a “nerf” is absurd (and totally against what the Devs have hinted at). I’m guessing material down-grades (much needed for Asc crafting) may be added (not upgrading being removed).

…..
Unfortunately, the needs of the many are more important than the needs of the few.

It’s only unfortunate for “the few”.

Ohoni.6057:

….
I can’t solo Karka Vets…..

I think we are now getting to the root of the actual issue here….

Besides, nobody is taking away the Champ Trains, just toning down the gold rewards.

You complain about every suggestion to make gold being provided to you, but disregard every other user that complains about how boring, degenerative and simplistic Champ farming is.

In the immortal words of a great educator, “Narrow-minded, Lazy and un-skillful is no way to go thru life, son.”

Rengaru.4730:

I’ll just wait and get ready to laugh at every “unlocker” when it turns out A-Net replaced the duplicate dyes with the account bound versions…

….and lo, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth across all the Realms of Tyria….

I’m not sure how re-listing items (thus paying and repaying the listing cost) can result in profitable transactions. Unless the profit margin is HUGE on that specific item, even testing that theory would be costly.

I guess if you can afford to loose a ton of gold you could try to prove it, but I would be HIGHLY skeptical of results I didn’t generate first hand. It sounds more like an urban myth started by established TP players to remove gullible newbie traders items from the TP on a regular basis (not to mention reduce their overall profits so they change their mind about playing the TP).

AFAIK, always a targeted skill.

I don’t think it will cast without a target (gives the “NEED A VALID TARGET TO CAST THIS SPELL”, message…..I think.

Rhiannon.1726:

Skins: on the gw2 wiki you can find a list of all weapons and armors,. Just search for “list of weapon sets” and “list of armor sets”. So you can see what they look like and how to get them.

After the mid-April feature patch, you will be able to in-game preview all skins available in the game at your Account Storage screen. You can mix and match as well as apply dyes to see EXACTLY what the set will look like on YOUR character.

This is going to make the bank locations even more popular than they are now….

Tman.6349:

multi-leveled dungeon such as Ergheiz and the likes.

The fighting part of that game is terrible, but the RPG … so good and so hard, I think not many people know that game.

One of the best fighting based RPG Square ever did was Vagrant Story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagrant_Story

Amazing game-play with at surprisingly deep crafting system for a console game. Story was one of Square’s best…..

I would also keep an eye on it all day on weekends. Many Guilds that do these long runs every several weeks wait until working folks have a block of more than a few hours available (Saturday & Sunday)

He needs to open a ticket with Support and this ticket likely needs to be moved to the Account sub-forum.

I suggest he first work on securing his old email (especially if he has it linked to a financial website in any way).

That is true, (so go make sure any on-board video is NOT enabled as well….), however there is NO scenario possible that would fix the reduced PCIE channel issue by “tweaking” any video resolutions or settings….those are a waste of time until the channel issue is resolved.

Again, re-seat the video card while verifing it is in the primary PCIE slot for you motherboard (and make sure the on-board video is disabled). At that point, I would run the test again with another video board (does not have to be the one you will used, just a spare PCIE-16 board) to verify the PCIE slot on the motherboard isn’t damaged.

You may be right about when it started doing that (I think it started when they made the default culling changes about 6-8 months ago), but I again ask you what is the technical issue this is causing you? To be honest, it kind of gives me a bit of a warning that I’m about to load into the zone so I can get prepared to play (so I kind of like it now).

My point is, if EVERY PLAYER is having the exact same loading screens occur, then the most obvious answer is that this is (now) how the transition displays work and there is nothing to “fix”.

I’m wondering if this would be a different post (or if one would have happened at all) if you were able to BE one of those, “lotto winners”?

The term “sour grapes” comes to mind in all this “concern”.

From reading the other post, it’s unclear if you understood WHO won and WHO lost, so it’s very likely you NOT being able to be involved SAVED your from loosing a bunch of gold.

It’s obvious the winners would be those that were able to quickly turn Laurels into UID dyes and sell them very quickly. I’d venture to say anyone that bought during that time is screwed (and won’t get kissed).

Removing the gold rewards is less about removing money from the economy as it is getting players to do something else while logged on….

Since the OP seems to be ranting and obviously considering NOT Champ farming any longer, it appears to be working. Of course, the other side to that coin is the OP just not logging in any longer so ANet needs to add some sort of carrot to another activity at the same time (and I’m guessing they are well aware of that….whether they do it or not is another matter).

Keep in mind the promotion recipes from the Mystic Flusher as they can help get rid of excess lower Tier materials you accumulate for higher Tier items you can use.

They need to add demotion recipes to the game…..

It’s more likely they would ADD some sort of cost to 2 handed weapons since they are getting an extra Sigil slot in a few weeks.

What you are seeing is an indication of lower population access to that particular zone on your server. As mentioned above, nodes reset when a map is generated and maps only generate when a player enters a previously empty zone.

There is NO timed reset on node locations (this is set by a map being reloaded per above). The timing on node refill is I think 8 hours for lower level resources and 24 hours on the highest tier.

Meh, just wishful thinking on my part…..

Fields of Ruin is a fun area and interesting area….good luck!

The location is what your ISP would report as the source of that IP address (nothing to do with ANet itself). It usually has to do with where your ISP actually connects to the internet backbone level switch, but does not have to.

If the IP address matches, I wouldn’t worry about it, but if you must find out, your ISP is the place to ask (not here).

You do understand that stuff you put in your ACCOUNT bank WILL transfer to the new server (but NOTHING associated with any Guild items (bank inventory, upgrades, influence, etc. will transfer).

So did you disband the Guild (you did not specify that above)?

There are numerous other posts on this forum about that ISP and your location. This sounds like a localized issue (some post also mentions an underwater cable issue, but I saw no verification in the post).

Mine has AWLAYS done that since game launch.

Longer loading screen (with just loading music) > Black screen > short loading screen (with valid background audio playing).

I’m unsure how this is a problem (I think the 2nd loading screen display is just there to mask the majority of the initial scene rendering so players don’t see a bunch of models loading).

If you video card is not running at x16 PCIE, it is either broken, unseated or you have it in the wrong (or a bad) PCIE-16 slot. No amount of overclocking or tweaking will fix the video card not running with all PCIE channels…..

1) Check in-game if gems are present.
2) Check CC and see if charge is pending or completed (may need to wait to get accurate reading here).
3) Open a support ticket about the issue (but ONLY one ticket).

When you say you opened 2 tickets, did you mean about this issue that just happened or previous issue you had buying gems? You should NEVER open more than one ticket about an issue as that just creates confusion and more work for the support team.

Keep in mind that from that long ago, they may not HAVE other restoration points available, but as AP said, you need to make that request in the CS ticket, not here.

I suggest you IMMEDIATELY change the password of both your associated email account and GW2 account…..

I’m pretty sure ANet does not send out emails about account bans, you are just notified when you try to log in (have you tried to log in to the game)?

You log into the account using the email address associated with your account, not the display name (that seems to be the most common problem with people unable to log into the game).
