Basically its not as dangerous as you seem to think, log in attempts are an extremely common event.

I know it can be common, but that’s a definite sign you need to CHANGE your email address…likely the prefix as it is now going to be spammed to every major provider out there.

If you had security footage of someone trying to pick the lock on your front door every night, would you be concerned?

If I did that I would have to change some email addresses every day. It just isn’t realistic. Just because someone walks up to a door with a keypad and punches random numbers doesn’t means you should be replacing your entire security system. A strong unique password is the first line of defense, a second level of authentication is also recommended. Changing your email address just because someone is attempting to log into it is not recommended, and its likely to happen on your new account as soon as you start using it.

Do you suggest I change the IP address of my server because its seeing login attempts? Its seeing log in attempts in an order of magnitude greater than the OP’s email account. No matter what I change it to its going to get hit like that. Its the reality of the internet.

Another explanation is you linked your new email account with an old or different account. For example you create example@example.com and in the recovery options you list myoldemail@example.com. If myoldemail is compromised (even if it is different from your original hacked account) they can obtain your new email address.

Another possibility is keylogging. A third is an upstream provider has a security issue.

Isnt it ironic when a thief is the one complaining about being on a team with 3 thieves.

Switch your class and you wont be on a team with 3 thieves.

Brother Grimm.5176:

With that kind of activity, why in the WORLD would you not ditch that email and get another? Especially if she uses that address for any RL finanical or Retail website associations….VERY dangerous (even with the 2 step authentication turned on).

A single attempt every day is not uncommon..

If your email address has ever been used its probably on some list to get spammed. I have a server that sees over 10,000-50,000 log in attempts a month to attempt to guess the administrator password (even though there is no “administrator” or “admin” account).

This is why using a strong password is important, and 2 step verification is recommended. Google and yahoo do not share failed login attempts, which to me is a shame.

Basically its not as dangerous as you seem to think, log in attempts are an extremely common event.

To properly secure your email account you have to not only change the password but double check any password recovery options. Change the answers to those too and make sure the recovery email and phone number belong to you.

the bat file does not modify gw2 or automate any process in gw2 it only starts it.

Its the same as a shortcut.

Best matchup ever was TC vs FA vs Kain. So good.

Moa is fine.

I also think FGS is fine, it isn’t as useful in spvp but it sees a lot of use in WvW. So I don’t see them buffing this skill.

Mortar is pretty useless.

hotjoin cap isn’t a problem, pushing more players into soloq is a good idea.

Adjusting how matchmaking handles new players by default would be a good thing. I think it should take longer to raise your glicko rating off the bat, and that you would need twice as many wins (or more) to get into the top 100 if its a fresh account. That should limit those who get up there by luck.

Also kitten skyhammer. You pretty much have to dedicate one of your characters to a ‘special’ build for that map.

You can limit the pool of players you can be matched with by canceling your Q after 1 minute of it not popping and rejoining the queue.

It might take forever to get a match that way.

It gets applied instantly its a player skill not a pet skill. It does buff the pet and reveals your target. You see the thief start to cast his heal, pop sic ’em and he loses the ability to stealth off it. See the thief drop a combofield, sic ’em and heartseek wont stealth the theif.

My guild will run 5 ranger parties on some nights and we just hunt thieves. 20 seconds of continuous reveal is death for any stealth dependent thief.

gw1 by a long shot still.

Any on swap sigil works, I spent a little time today checking, even sigil of energy giving you more endurance for an extra dodge.

Unequipping weapons in keg brawl does not prevent the sigils from firing too. I tried with no weapons and the on swaps still took effect.

In addition it doesn’t matter if the on swap is on your primary or secondary weapon, it will still trigger.

Please fix this.

Defense against guards does mitigate the damage -a little.

Next time this is done the tourney should only be 5 weeks and include all 24-27 servers. Tiers in a swiss system doesn’t work very well when the tournament last for so long.

So what happens in the lower teirs during the weeks where fights on the borderland tend to be 1v1…

Soon neither side can hurt the other until they leave?

This idea is so terrible all around.

FA dropped down this week, so silver NA is not the same this week as last. (FA got double teamed for a few days and couldn’t recover in score). But this means we finally have a SBI vs Yaks matchup. If the double team didn’t happen we wouldn’t have this showdown.

Basically its up to you, the matchups can continue to be the same until a server is willing to double team for an edge.

TeamSpeak and other voice coms are just a tool. Its effectiveness varies based on its utilization.

Logout, log back in.

“Solution” defeated.

If anet has an internal issue that a super secure password would not help you.

I am nearly 100% positive that there is no internal issue with arenanet. The vast majority of the time I hear of an account compromise the email account is also compromised. Often the email indicating a password reset will be deleted by the attacker.

The second way accounts are compromised is when people are tricked into giving their login information directly to a website not affiliated with arenanet, this can include fansites where your login credentials are the same when that website gets compromised your account is at risk. This has been mitigated with email verification but some people have it off.

And grimm, not all email services are the same. Not all of them will allow cached credentials on password change. You can test your email account by logging into it with a different browser or a browser with privacy mode enabled, then change the password. Check your different browser if you still have access.

I roam, I roam a lot.

I see this buff going one of two ways

1) Its too insignificant to matter
2) In order for it to become significant players need to purposely die over and over.

Either way, while its an idea. I don’t think its a very good one. And its not really going to help you win a 1v2. I would rather the devs work on other solutions for the problem than spend time on a solution like this.

Because you have to die to get it?

I don’t think the buff should outright encourage dying, even for a small boost.

Attempting to put % signs around text causes the forum to drop the percent signs. With no effect on formatting. So I’m slightly confused about this one. You can workaround the issue with the preformatted tag.

If sigil of hydromancy is apart of your pvp build it triggers in keg brawl when you gain/lose the keg. This bug was introduced with the feature patch.

account, account

0 seconds.

It only takes effect when you go to zero supply.

I think your statement is far too blanket. Fighting clearly doesn’t make you lose otherwise no one would fight.

Fighting someone with no ability to push them off a point or kill them quickly is a waste of time, I would agree. But fighting in general is not a waste of time.

It is on the English forums, just in a different thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Merged-topics-Achievement-bug-no-chests-dailies-stuck

Edit: beat’d

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Merged-topics-Achievement-bug-no-chests-dailies-stuck

You are affected by that bug.

My daily didn’t reset, completed one of the remaining dailies to check.

take the 60 gold you got from the skin and your obi shards and make clovers in the forge.

Except its 5 ever 5 seconds not 3 every 5 seconds. Because 2x sigil doesn’t make it any shorter.

sigil stacking of the same type no longer works for stacking sigils.

So your 2x sigil scenario wouldn’t work anyway.

Doubt its an issue as its more of a snowball effect and the snowball effect of a zergfight is already strong.

Downstate works really well in small engagements, it adds to the experience of the small scale fight.

Right now though its too strong for zerg play and I think should be nerfed. A while ago it was suggested that this would be a positive change:

1 person rallies when enemy is cleaved (dps’d to dead in down state).
5 people rally when an enemy is stomped.

This change would nerf mass zerg rallies and in zerg battles you tend to not stomp people anyway, which will limit revives to 1 dead 1 rally. It would also leave small scale engagements largely untouched.

Stomp speed/revive speed is currently fine. Knock the reviver away or dps them. People don’t come back at full health and sometimes you can drop a lot of dps on a normally tanky person who is trying to revive, then redown the person he revived. We have used this method to turn/end fights when we get an opponent down.

keep in mind that if multiple servers tie for the same place they get the same reward.

That might be the endgame for this.

*unless you are an elementalist.

Um I’m pretty sure you just need to soul/account bind the item. People may salvage it after that but I don’t think salvaging is required.

Blue/green dyes will crash and crash hard.

Very rare dyes like abyss and celestial may actually stand to increase in price slowly over time.

Way to take a tangential track instead of sticking to the topic.

I’m asking Smooth what proof he would have that the market would just collapse if people could suddenly relist for a lower price without a fee.

I think its a fair solution to the original problem.

If two people get in a 1c war and constantly relist their items cheeper and cheeper eventually the market will just buy their items anyway. And for items with high velocity like ecto you arnt going to even bother with the 1c undercutting game anyway unless you are offloading a lot of ecto at once.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Just to touch on this. If you were to implement free price changes to combat undercutters, you open Pandora’s Box. TP players would start Price Wars with each other, and the effects on the economy could be devastating. There wouldn’t be movement to price equilibrium, but rather you’d see a destabilizing of prices. It would be a contest to see which seller would be screwed the most.

Care to prove this? Outside the short term I mean. In real life it costs me nothing to list something on ebay or amazon, I can easily just change the price to whatever I want without a fee. Why hasn’t our market just exploded?

I actually agree with the relisting side of the argument. I already paid a higher fee to put my item at a higher price, it shouldn’t cost me anything to drop the price. Relisting an item right now is expensive and does contribute to holding prices a bit higher. Allowing prices to drop I feel would be a good thing to your average trading post user.

Another option is to have a smaller fee for relisting, lets say 1% of the change in price for a minimum of 1 copper up to the normal listing fee.

Dolyak finisher is a riot.
Ascalonian and quaggan finishers also got ‘upgrades’.

Yes, that’s what it means.

Roe.3679:

If you don’t have the mastery and someone around you does, then let them use it. It’s good for everyone around and the server you’re on, which you say you want to help. If you use siege with no mastery, it’s slower for everyone, even you.

You do realize the op is playing on an uplevel to level it by choice right? If he was putting server first he wouldn’t be on an uplevel when he has geared level 80’s. So its clear he is putting himself first, so this advice wont work. The best place for a person of his mindset is on a superior siege that he built himself. And for him to prioritize putting points into arrow cart mastery. 15 points into arrow cart and you gain quite a bit.

Yep your stuck. Ignore the trolls though. Ideally you can build and use superior siege.

“Smart ping” and a combination of the voice commands system would work wonders. It has the added advantage of being communicable across language boundaries, something that VOIP is not capable of doing. If you add voice chat in game, on the EU side and you had 3 different spoken languages in your match, communication breaks down, and gives the other team the advantage. Voice commands and smart pings can be translated automatically based on the user settings, and can be nearly just as effective in actual play.

Simple, help, attack, defend, wait, retreat commands can go a long way, as well as being useable in the entire game.

iiiiits keg brawl day.

I spat my coke over the NSA spying line.

Most likely it is the calm before the storm. People taking breaks before the season starts.

Horo.7395:

How about this?
This is Solo Queue NOT Team Arena
And yes, this is 4v5 from start to finish.

You should work on a “Real” MMR System instead of roster shuffling on 10 people.
Its obvious even Red team’s leaver is a Rank 70,
Its still pretty stacked on Blue.

I used to think LoL’s Matchmaking is bad, then I played gw2…….

And dude, its a 4v5…

And it looks like your R3 participated as much as anyone else on your team.

Again, rank is not indicative of the players MMR.

They would need to add a way for defenders to decap the attackers progress though. Otherwise a failed keep take early in the day that almost succeeded with affect a battle an hour or two later.

Maybe it slowly sets back their progress every 10 seconds the lord is alive? like every 10 seconds 1/10th of the progress bar is lost.
