I am unable to log into my account to even change the settings to high.
outfit iss tuck on my guardian which was the last toon I used, hence the moment I log in and it tries to preview her, game crashes, and a lot of text disappears in the options panel. Please help D;
You can change the graphics at character select. The gear icon at top left on the UI is available.
If they didn’t have the numbers at the end then either you or Mea.8967 (who has also posted on this forum) would have to have chosen a different display name.
I remember her! And the confusion when I first saw her posts, lol. Exactly why we should have unique names! I thought I was schizophrenic. :P I’ve been playing MMORPGs since forever and I can easily come up with random usernames / display names for myself in other games, so that definitely wouldn’t be an issue for me.
That thread where saw you both post was confusing. Lol. They probably should have gone for unique names and not name.xxxx however they
didn’t and it sounds like it’s impossible to change that part now.
I know from what they said that there are problems with changing the display name, but I still think they should allow it once per account per lifetime of account. Since they already do it when they think it’s necesary I can’t feel that those problems are a big as they say they are.
Honestly, I just want to get rid of the ugly numbers, I never use numbers in my usernames. Everyone should have a unique name without the numbers. They are so annoying, especially mine because it ends with a 1. At least it should be a 0! It annoys me more than it should, haha. XD I’m pretty sure if Anet offered a display name change item for $10, they would get crazy rich because many people want to change theirs. :P

Have your friend run to one of the doors on a PvE map, such as Gendarren fields. He can enter the Labyrinth from there. If he is so low level he gets one shot you can go along with him to a door. No HoT purchase required.
The weapon are dropping often enough that their a couple gold on the trading post so that might be bad luck for you. The other stuff like the infusions and minis are probably very rare.
If people want all waypoints, then fine with me. However it should have a few restrictions. It should be optional and character specific and in addition, no map completion rewards or Gifts of Exploration for that character.
If you’re posting on the forum that means you have a paid account (also?). Why not go into the labyrinth on your paid account and do the door events in there?
Not forced on me because not only did I buy a Gift of Battle long ago when I got enough badges even though I had no plans to craft a Legendary but also because I’m working my way along the WvW reward track by murdering vetwargs and standing in a circle. Sometimes I’ll even get really brave and kill a sentry and stand in that circle.
PvE in WvW dailies. The easy, no pvp but slow and sure way to do it. Monuments, vet mob kills and sentry kills with land claiming. At least one and sometimes 2 are available each day on the daily list.
There are two data centers where account information is stored. One is in the United States and one is in Europe. The players from those different data centers can’t play together. Devonas Rest is an NA (United States) server. If your friend transferred to an EU server then you won’t be able to play together until one of you transfers to that data center. If you can’t party up ask him what the name of his server is to make sure it’s the same data center.
Try adding food that gives plus 15% XP on kill such as spicy pumpkin cookies and the fireworks that give plus 10% XP to everything you do that gives XP (this is a big one. You’ll rack up extra XP for harvesting, killing, exploring, doing events, crafting, reviving, etc)
I’m feeling dumb. How is getting salvageable items which you salvage for materisls or sell different from getting blues and greens which you salvage for materials or sell?
How about… instead of droping blues and greens, the mobs and bags actually droped mostly salvagable materials. They could ether be salvaged for materials or sold for gold
to the vendors or trade-post if you are full.
stackable loot..
Ah. Ok
Hmmm. Still would need one for each cloth, ore and type of lumber.m
With the addition of ‘salvage all’ it only takes one “salvage” to salvage a whole inventory worth of items. I’d say it’s not worth reworking the codes as well as inconveniencing those who use these items while leveling or until they can get better gear at level 80.

It will come back. They all come back periodically. Looking at the stickied gem store thread above, the last time they had it was August 26th. A little over a month ago.
The HoM items were a reward to the players of gw1 who supported the game for so long and made gw2 possible. It was a reward and consolation prize to all who were playing the game and were told that gw1 would not have any more expansions or campaigns. It was put in place with the EOTN expansion, so yes you need the EOTN to access the HoM, which is on an EOTN map. Just like you need to buy HoT to access the Mastery system.
One thing that occurred to me is if you don’t have EOTN then you don’t actually have 3 points. The 3 points you get for linking 2 accounts is automatic but unless you have EOTN they’re more like placeholder points. Your account doesn’t get them for real without buying the expansion.
It’s been so long that I’m a little shaky on the details but if it’s only the 3 points you want you need one campaign and EOTN and you need to link your gw2 and gw1 accounts. Then level to the point where you get the quest to go to EOTN. (I think it’s around level 16). You can then take the quest and run to the HoM. If you speak to the NPC inside, Kimmes, I think that unlocks the 3 points for you.
Edit: if you need a tapestry for the HoM you first speak to Jora. She is right outside Boreal station when you reach EOTN. Then speak to Gwen in the HoM after looking in the Vision Pool. You can then put the tapestry on one of the walls to get it ready to accept more achievement points (by adding mini pets, heroes, statues, etc depending on if you go further with it)
A Q&A session with Isiah(sic) Cartwright revealed the way Magic Find works: “Everytime you kill a monster you roll on a number of tables, inside these tables are different rarity categories. Magic find increases the chances you will get higher categories. For example if there is a 1 in 10 category, and you have 200% magic find you will have 3/10 chances to get that category. This improves not just the rarity of the items you get but can also improve your chances at getting trophies and rare crafting materials like lodestones.”
I would say Isiah might have been mistake and you would have a 2/10 chance, not a 3/10 chance. I believe Magic Find is a multiplier and not an additional. That would explain why there’s a diminishing return to additional Magic Find. I still maxed it out long ago because, why the heck not.
1+200%=3
For those people who are not so good with percents
Read the bold part! For those who can’t read…..
So you believe something and you’re saying Isiah (a Dev) made a mistake because it doesn’t fit in with your belief?
I believe it’s more likely the Dev is correct and your belief isn’t.
To learn how to glide you need both the expansion heart of thorns and to have done the first heart of thorns story line quest, which begins in the silverwastes. Once you’ve done that first story section and your in verdant brink then masteries will unlock. You then go to your mastery panel (bottom right corner of your experience line) and select the mastery for gliding. You then do events and kill mobs in verdant brinks until the mastery line is completely filled out (the same way that leveling fills out your experience bar until you reach the next level). Once it’s filled up you take the mastery point you got for doing that story section and assign it to gliding. That will give you basic gliding.
Central Tyria has it’s own mastery lines. You need to select a mastery line to fill up for that area and get mastery points to assign to it.
The mastery lines and mastery points are rather like experience and skill points. You have to level with experience and then assign skill points to get skills and traits.
To find out what gives mastery points check your achievement panel. Achievements with red stars give Tyrian mastery points and achievements with green stars give heart of thorns mastery points.
Cheap commander tags for all so all can use them? Probably not going to happen. I suggest you save your gold up and buy a commander tag. 300 gold isnt that big a sum now days.
What you can do is put gold away each day through buy orders. Select something really high priced, such as a Legendary. Put in a buy order with as much gold as you have minus some for regular expenses, let’s say 5 gold. After every play period add whatever you’ve made over the 5 gold and either make an additional buy order or close down the first and add the gold to that amount and make a new, larger buy order.
That’s how I save up gold. Out of sight and an effort to get makes it easier to not spend your gold
This idea has been suggested and discussed a number of times already. Maybe, if it has certain restrictions
My opinion
One, it’s optional. Some people like to explore and do world completion, including waypoints.
Two, it’s activated on a character only basis. Not a complete across the account basis
Three, if that character has it it can not do map completion and get any sort of map completion rewards, including the one for the Legendaries.
The skin is for that weapon or that piece of armor you applied it to. Not to the slot its in. So if you transmute one and get another the new look doesn’t go on the new item you picked up. Most people wear outfits while leveling if they have one and don’t bother with looks until they hit level 80.
There’s world completion for Legendaries to consider. After the first time you would have a good part already done even if your char was a only few minutes old and used tomes to 80 at the bank. It could then leap from waypoint to waypoint getting things fast.
There are event merchants in vanilla Tyria where you can’t purchase items you want until after the event is finished and the event NPC becomes a merchant. That’s essentially what these repeateable hearts are. If the event merchants didn’t bother you then these shouldn’t either. The good thing about the heart merchants is you don’t have to stand around waiting for an event to start.
Getting groups would depend on the content. Dungeons are half dead from what I hear and fractals need HoT for better rewards at high levels, but you can group for them. Crafting ascended gear with the stats that came with it back then are as easy or as hard as it ever was.
I tried one. It bugged out and appeared under the map and didn’t do anything besides make comments for a while about how there weren’t any shinies there.
Good luck getting arenanet to go back again and redo it when it took so long for them to fix the bug in the first place. Enjoy your new Bloodstone helm. It’s here to stay.
How do I replay just the last bit? Sorry, it isn’t obvious to me
To get missed Living Story achievements you first go through the story section once. Then you select the particular story section you want to repeat from your Living Story hero panel to get any achievements in that section you didn’t get with the first run through.
It used to be tied to the character you logged in on. They changed that the log in rewards will appear now if you switch to another character. Those are probably old rewards that you got on other characters and didn’t claim and now they’re showing up on the character you’re logging on.
Then you obviously haven’t read anything in this thread and will continue getting kicked like that until you understand why.
So I’ll get kicked for joining, linking gear and not already having the exact build the raid leader wants already equipped? I’ll just activate my psychic powers…. As I’ve said how the hell can I tell what the raid leader needs if their only interaction is link gear, kick.
I think I’m not the one in need of a re-read
I’ve not ever raided but aren’t raids supposed to be this difficult content that groups of players do as a team? Are you saying you showed up for this difficult, team content and you didn’t bother to research it first? After the first kick you didn’t realize it’s that build for the team effort or make your own group?
You complain about people expecting you to use a build but then you go into someone else’s team (where after the first kick you knew there was a team build) and expected them to fit your build in instead of using their team build. You are going into someone else’s group and someone else’s team build and you expect them to take the time to theory craft and fit your build in to their team build and other people to adjust their build to fit yours in. Do you not see the irony of asking that?
There is a way to set a keybind to toggle between items. It’s in options, next ally. I’ve used it when someone drops an item on top of another interactable item or NPC. It’s not really useful if people drop multiples of something but it will separate out the interactions of two items.
You are correct, snobs that think their special snowflake build and way of playing is more important than doing what is necessary to make the team successful have no place in raiding.
They also have no place in team PvP, or basically any sort of team environment in any walk of life.
I’m loving the irony.
You mean like the irony of the OP saying people who use meta builds are snobs then saying the people who use meta builds aren’t actual players?
It’s possible to get past the invisible wall but the portal doesn’t work. Or it was possible. That picture from That Shaman is 4 months old and the way might be blocked now.
