We have a guildie with epilepsy who can’t play certain elements of the game because of the effects. Our guildie had a really bad time of it with one of the fractals – a snow blind one. CoF is another that is a real problem and can’t be played. The flamethrower on the engineer is a ‘repeat offender’ as well. For me – well some of the effects can trigger migraines if I’m playing the game for too long (zerging in EoTM for example).
I love the slider suggestion….if devs could give us the ability to tone down the effects and soften the patterns (white on black for example), that would be most excellent!
I am said guildie, therefore I echo this request. The Snowblind fractal and I are so not friends right now.

I thought I’d lost mine, but I had my char who had the hat (before I evidently deleted it) speak to the town clothes merchant, and I received the hat again through that. When I spoke to the merchant, I was actually hoping I’d get my old GW2 cap back (because yes, I stupidly deleted that). I didn’t get that, of course!

It only takes a few minutes (maybe 5?) to do ‘Master of Ruins’, and I very rarely run into any players from an opposing team. It’s about as PvE in WvW as you can get, barring ‘Big Spender’.
Good luck.
I often go into WvW when it’s fractals on the daily. On my ranger, more often than not. Sometimes I’ll even go for camps, particularly if I see someone else hanging around for the same, but Master of Ruins is nice and quick if you’ve not much time.

I am in love with it. Shield is nice (lovely phantasms), and the elite skill is schmexy.

Thank you guys for the mystical dragon, by the way. I have wanted that thing ever since I saw it was a thing.
Absolutely – saw one in-game today, and thought “Must have.” That doesn’t happen often with me, either! Am now proud owner of a mini mystical dragon, and enjoyed seeing a small queue of them wriggling about at the Behemoth event earlier. Really great mini and totally worth getting some account security going.

Hi! My mother actually has a similar situation and has been locked out of the game for nearly 2 weeks now for attempting to purchase HoT on her own credit card, is there any chance it could get looked at?

I’m a Sylvari main (and in total I have 6 Sylvari characters) . I’ve gone on record saying I don’t want my guys and gals to be evil, and they and I refuse to be so.
I hope there is something of a choice - or it’s just for a short period (like an event as mentioned further up). Something like the Lunatic Court at Halloween would be absolutely fine - but not the story. No way! My mesmer will have a tremendous sulk if so. I don’t want to deal with him sulking. He’s terrible, and has embarrassed me in public before. So please, no forced evil outside of some fun events!

Yay! We got my wife’s account back as well. It seems the tickets for Review thread works after all. Thanks Ceridwen for hoping for me when I had sort of given up myself.
You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear it worked out in the end.
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Steve R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
I’ve completed the PS a fair few times now, and it’s true, sometimes an instance gets bugged. For me, usually restarting the instance fixes it (if you can’t waypoint out, log out to character screen and back in again).
EDIT: Ah, Vayne! You just beat me to it.
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Steve R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
I hope it gets sorted out for you, Avraham. There’s also the stickied threads for tickets older than 72 hours if your most recent ticket takes a bit of time. If you registered all the way (even a new account by accident?), maybe it’ll take a little extra tweaking to put right. My experience with Anet’s Support is that they work quite quickly, so hopefully you’ll get some more information soon.
Good luck! And let us know back here how it goes.

Good news is good! Welcome back to Tyria!
Cheers! I think it’s important to update with the good stuff as well as the not-so-good! It may give someone else a little hope, too.
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Steve R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
I have an update!: I’ve had another email from support, advising that the payment processor deemed the transaction suspicious, hence the account suspension. Support have reviewed my account, and deemed the purchase absolutely fine, so my account is freed up again (huzzah!). I’ll have to ask my husband to check if the refund money is back in his bank account again, as we have to purchase a new copy of the game for a new serial code (my old one and HoT one will no longer work). Hopefully the purchase will stick this time.
Zohane, I hope you get your situation reassessed. Perhaps a chat with your card provider, and their take on it may be of use? I don’t know how much it would help, but perhaps they can assist with advice or confirmation your card use is acceptable. If so, maybe you can then try opening a new ticket. Good luck with it!
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Steve R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
Blurr out your email address in the picture, or remove the image altogether, as hackers can get hold of your account easier if they know what log on email address to use.
Good point! I’ve removed it.
Thanks to everyone else for input!
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Steve R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
I know the forum can’t help per se - I’m asking if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, how long it took to be resolved, i.e. I’m asking for the player side of the coin. I already have a ticket open and know the Support team is looking at it.
I will say, I’ve had confirmation from Support that this will take further investigation.

An MMO lives and dies by how well it attracts the average gamer, not the small group of elitists. When content becomes unplayable to the average player, this is a problem with the structure of the game itself, not the player.
Incorrect. Sure the average player is very important. However, it’s the hardcore, dedicated players who drive the long-term life of the game. If there were no hardcore players, average players would go through the game, get to the end (level 80) and wonder what is there to do? Theres no hardcore players doing dungeons? No one is discussing the best builds or how to make the best gear? They conclude the end game is stale or dead, and quit. GW2 leaks players badly because it’s very easy for new players to get to 80 without ever joining a guild, without really knowing about fractals, legendaries, or anything. The most common reason people quit is because they got to 80 and didn’t know what to do. Casual players have less investment in GW2. They play to their whims, and they leave. If we relied on them exclusively, the game would be dead. You should be grateful when a game has a good dedicated hardcore community, even if they are the minority. Those people actually have a passion for the game, and you are treating that like some kind of disease.
If a full, well-organized map can’t reliably win, this leads to the downward spiral that we see with Triple Trouble where people don’t even bother any more.
Full, well organized maps CAN bear wurm very easily. It’s not that hard. You just have to know the mechanics, which takes all of 10 minutes on google to learn.
I WANT to play TT but I can’t because 90% of the time, there’s no one there. And that other 10% fails. There is absolutely nothing that I, as an individual, can do to remedy this. Anet has to fix this. Teq will quickly become this if faith isn’t restored quickly.
90% of the time no one is there because it doesn’t spawn all the time. It spawns at a specific time each day, which makes it better for guilds to organize an event. My guild kills it 3 times a week with 50% pugs. Yes, half of the map is random people that we invite into our group to help us kill it. We explain the fight to them in person. We provide food buffs and everything. Your attitude toward this specific encounter is ridiculous. It’s designed for a large organized group, not an individual. There’s plenty of solo-able content in the game. Anet doesn’t need to change this ONE ENCOUNTER to suite your whims.
I don’t really have a horse in this race, but did want to ask if you were EU located, and if so, what time is it you and your guild eat the wurm? Every time I’ve tried in the last few weeks (and that’s pre-patch and HP mania), it was horrible fails. I can’t claim to be the best, but I’d love to give it another go with some people who organise it and know what to do.
Should say, I technically qualify as a veteran player! Just one that never got around to actively pursuing the wurm.
In the meantime, I may try Teq this evening just to see how horrible it is. Or isn’t. XD
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Steve R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
Probably a little late to the party, but thought I’d chime in anyway: I’ve had my main character do all Personal Story, and did the LS stuff when it was available (and twice over at that), so all content is unlocked. After the recent change to the Arah story dungeon, I’ve been taking in my alts, and after each completion thus far, I’ve been directed immediately afterward to Arcana Obscura.
I like that particular part of the story, yes, but I don’t necessarily want to have to be instructed by the nag text on my alts for more stuff. I default to having it turned off, and I’d love for that off to actually mean all off. Also, slight derail: I was after a sly hair kit from the Distorted Reflection achievement. I started it off whilst holding the torch, but it then seemed I switched to my own weapons (even though I’m fairly sure I didn’t tell it to!), and when I’d killed the doppleganger, I had the divine fire torch again. The achievement didn’t take, and I’d not mind a clue as to why (and it’s not really an issue to run the instance again - as I said, I actually like this one a fair bit!).

Please see this very accurate video recreation of my reaction to this news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV_O3BA5e28
So, GummiBear, you say you can enter? How about we team up. I make the emblem, you sneak it past the gate guards and we split the winnings. One of our citizens is the Crown Princess of Denmark now which basically makes us family. Ohana means family. And family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten.
All in all, though, it is good to hear some of the reasons why this might be case. Even if the end act of not being able to participate is ultimately disappointing.
I’m in Norway too, although I’m British. As far as I can make out, we can’t enter from here.
I’d like to hear if it’s not the case, but we’re definitely not mentioned in the rules (the EU countries are all individually listed as able to take part).

I see. So I should turn off map chat and not get event notifications because some people want to act like children? No, I think that’s probably not right.
And no, carebears don’t rule this forum…carebears rule this game. Proud to be a carebear. If it means that I’m a nice guy, who would rather play cooperatively with people than beat the hell out of them, sure I’ll wear it. Happy to.
The PvE in this game was designed to be cooperative. As for changing things not affecting us, well, it does affect us. Because all those other games have options to turn off PvP and whatnot and they all still suck because design decisions are made around that open world PvP that affect everyone.
And since I don’t need my PvE being affected by open world PvP (there’s already too many PvE changes that have been dictated by PvP), then I’m happy to not have it at all.
Saying something won’t affect other people doesn’t mean it won’t.
My favorite reply in this thread so far. I so agree to this and a proud carebear too.
I concur! Also happily signing up for Care Bear status. How caring, being a kind and generally a good individual wanting to help out others is a bad thing is beyond me.
And this is exactly why the forum needs avatar picture, so we can all put carebear avatars on our posts. Sign me up for carebear status.
I call dibs on Grumpy Bear
Okay! I shall be Cheer Bear!
