Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the reply, yeah I thought it would be something to do with account security.

Anyway not a big deal really, just a minor annoyance.

Simple question really, as the title says – any way to stay logged in or log in automatically? It’s a bit annoying having to log in every time, even if I just close the page and open a new one a minute later I have to log in again. Same if I’m browsing and find a topic I want to reply to, log in and I’m back to the main page… annoying.

If you can’t do this it is something that should be added.

What is the point in having separate region servers if US times are gonna be used for EU servers anyway ?

X event launch Oct 22 US 8pm PST
X event launch Oct 22 EU 8pm GMT

If not done like this just merge the regions because there’s no freaking point to have them !

Yeah heaven forbid it’s actually done fairly like that. Would mean EU players get it before those in the US which we definitely can’t have.

Kind of annoying there is a big tagline on the main site “Coming 22nd October” which is now obviously proved to be untrue. Little respect for your non-American customers maybe?

And is it just me or did anyone else not get emails?

Relentliss.2170:

I’d wait for the next patch, if we get another nerf the class won’t be worth playing, if it doesn’t get nerfed any further there are specs that are quite fun.

lol…

This forum really needs a facepalm emoticon.

My Charr guardian, really happy with how he looks (transmuted temple stuff to look like vigil):

Edit: Fixed image, God these forums are terrible.

The game will not fail.

No, but for the sole reason that it hasn’t been designed to need subs to keep going. If it had been a sub game it would be entering SWTOR territory about now.

I presume this means the total number of players who have joined that world, not the number playing at any particular time.

No, it’s the people playing at that time. Check back at 2/3 in the morning and it will be on medium most likely.

Uhh who gives a kitten. Maybe I’m being unfair but it’s sad enough playing these kind of games anyway, roleplaying a character in them, just seems beyond pathetic to me.

Don’t really buy that Deso is losing because of nightcapping in this case. Apart from making the score difference even higher so maybe stopping people queuing. They’ve beaten us fair and square, our organisation has just been terrible. It’s easy to blame it on Canadians, about 1am the other day people start saying “Ok here starts nightcapping” but in the attacking group I saw a lot of MoS players, which I think is a French guild, so they’re just well organised.

First 80 was a Guardian and I really like it, just pisses me off that every other character I see seems to be one.

Wonka.3487:

Put regional restrictions on servers!!

This, so much. Don’t know what the situation is with Oceanic players on NA servers but there is absolutely no reason for NA players to be allowed to play on EU servers.

This is the highest tier competition going on EU:

If that is intended, it’s what it is

Yep, Arborstone (FR) looks identical to that on the Deso match.

like imagine 2 taliban server against 1 american

Think that’s the funniest thing I’ve read on these forums so far.

Worth noting that Gunnar’s Hold were in more or less the same position after reset last week, held all borderlands and SM, and look where they ended up. We’ll get it back when the Canadians go to bed anyway.

Might not work with rankings and all but how about just letting the French fight each other, so maybe VS/Arborstone/Augury Rock then maybe next “tier” FS/River/Deso. At least that way it’s a bit fairer and the Canadians can fight themselves. I don’t know, but it’s going to get boring fast knowing you’re pretty much guaranteed a lose against the French servers.

if i send 20 gold to my alt, will i be classed as a gold seller?

You can’t mail gold to yourself, it’s done through the bank.

Xyne.9104:

Its killing off the game very fast now…

Think you’re overestimating the impact it’s having to be honest. It’s an annoyance, it’s nowhere near “killing the game”.

Good to hear. I was just thinking earlier tonight I wouldn’t mind so much about all the bots and gold spammers if there was just some indication something is being done about it, and then this thread is posted

Yeah what you have to do is go to the zone on the wiki, it has a list of areas which you will then need to look at your map and tick off. Pain in thekitten I know but at the moment the only way to do it. And by the way, 100% map (so the “Been there, done that” achievement/title, star and gifts) is by getting 100% in each zone, which is completely separate to the Explorer achievements. I have 100% map and still 170/172 Shiverpeaks, 160/165 Maguuma etc.

Funny how last week half of the threads in this forum were people complaining about rewards/nerfed ability to speedfarm etc. and now a lot of that has been fixed, or at least improved somewhat, this is the only thread about it. Just goes to show how the vast majority of forum use is to point out negatives and it’s not really representative of the playerbase.

Stevoli.8795:

I guess you don’t know your WoW history then… the Pandaren race was first mentioned as an April Fools joke waaaay back in 2002. It’s been a part of the lore for as long as the game as been around, pretty much.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Pandaren_

Yeah exactly, they were mentioned as a joke then again as an easter egg level at the end of WC3

Other than that they have never been mentioned as a serious part of the Warcraft world.

zerospin.8604:

Why do countless people play Quake, Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike, Call of Duty, Team Fortress 2, enter you fav shooter here ?

This. I must have thousands of hours over the years between CS and CS:S, with no in-game reward whatsoever. Heaven forbid you play a game for fun and not the pursuit of digital items.

ZannX.4058:

Yes, you can liken sPvP to FPS games.

However, once you make this comparison sPvP somehow feels under-developed in general. Hopefully in the future they’ll add more maps and more modes.

Yeah it’s true but it is really early and I have absolutely no doubt they will be adding to sPvP in the future.

As a Guardian I just laugh when people try to do this and proceed to kill all the mobs.

I drive a liquid-cooled Alienware…

Stopped reading there.

But seriously, decent post, if pretty basic stuff. Will be useful to those who don’t know that much about PCs.

Personally haven’t noticed much issue with heat and this game. CPU cores never rise above 30 (with a fairly decent heatsink/fan) and GPUs never above 60. Got two intake and two exhaust fans, nothing special. Running at 100fps almost constantly with max settings (AA off).

Played on a few now before selecting one. Desolation has plenty of Brits but population is a bit high and pretty much impossible to get into WvW. I’m on Gunnar’s Hold now which has plenty of Brits too (as well as others I’m sure but English is the only language seen) and the population is the perfect level.

Personally I don’t see why there needs to be rewards etc. for playing a game, especially one that doesn’t require a subscription. I mean I put thousand of hours into CS and CS:S over the years and what did I get for that? Absolutely nothing except the pleasure of playing the game.

Honestly, if you’re looking for the emotional investment of a video game addiction to give meaning to your life then you should really start looking elsewhere for fulfilment.

AH. I found out which one I was missing. It’s the Chantry of Secrets completion in Bloodtide Coast. I went in once but never went all the way inside for the POI

Thank you! Spent hours trying to find the last one and yeah, discovered the entrance but never went all the way in.

Arson.4189:

Umbra engine… Game will fail because of it.

lol ok.

For what it’s worth, SLi is having some effect. Tried it today just to see and I was getting a 30/40 fps increase with SLi turned on.

I’d say keep trying, it does work (eventually). It kept stopping for me after the bone ship appears, took me 4/5 tries. Not ideal but hey…

Had this today too, never seen it before today.

Yeah thanks guys, what I thought really, there’s still plenty of time. I guess it’s just thinking too much and I should just play and try to enjoy it.

if you want a new main that’s not as popular, i actually haven’t seen much of engineers and i guess mesmers(?)

Yeah that’s been my observation too. Problem is neither of those really appeal, at least the idea of them, haven’t actually tried them. Might try playing a few classes to level 20 or so before I really decide.

It’s 4 in the morning here so won’t be going into huge detail but…

Personal story… I don’t know, I’ve heard some people complaining but what I chose for the character I’ve got to 80 (Charr Blood Legion) was excellent, actually one of the most engaging stories I’ve played through in an RPG since Witcher 2 (certainly better than the equivalent in SWTOR, and it was like the main focus of that game). A few parts that actually got quite emotional (including the vigil missions).

Criticisms of lack of game modes in sPvP etc. I’d say give it time. For what it’s worth WoW didn’t have any form of PvP (Honour system, BGs etc.) built into the game until about 6 months after release.

And yes the higher level zones/missions do seem to have quite a lot of bugs but the way I look at it is that it was either spend a few more months fixing them or release it and fix it as we go with patches. I know for sure that I’d rather be playing now with the minor inconvenience of a few bugs than waiting another few months to play.

So yeah, give it time, it’s early days yet. If a lot of these issues are still around at the end of the year I would start to get worried but for now I’m happy with what there is.

This is probably a stupid question but kind of worried about getting left behind. Got a guardian to 80 a few days ago but it’s annoying with every other character I see seems to be a guardian. Made a thief and having a lot of fun with it but with the amount of people at 80 I can’t help but feel I’m missing out. So what do people think? Really just looking for reassurance that it’s still a good time to settle on a main character to invest a lot of time in.

Azthioth.9682:

Maybe having it back in the form that we all know it is the bad idea, but why not let every class tank, heal, and dps as they choose?

Kind of like what Rift tried and while it worked to an extent there because the game was pretty much totally PvE focused, seems like it would be impossible to balance in a highly PvP focused game like this.

Also noticed a lot of gold sellers the past day or two, just block them it’s not such a big deal. Also worth noting a lot of them will be hacked accounts so there could be a reluctance to ban for that reason.

Couldn’t disagree more. Arena was what destroyed PvP in WoW and I would hate to see them introduce it in GW2.

Exactly what I was thinking as I was playing through the first couple of zones you encounter them in. Especially the artwork on the loading screen of that one zone with a kodan holding a woman’s hand? Forget which one but looks very cool.

Yeah I’d also like to say thanks for all the hard work. People have already said why it’s such a great game and it is without doubt the best MMO I’ve played (and I’ve played most of them since DAoC). Getting close to one of the best games of any genre I’ve played. Keep up the great work!

At the moment it depends where I am.

Up to about level 40/50 out in the world it seemed pretty even, maybe a few more warriors.

50+ zones, seem to see a lot of Guardians (to the point where 1 in 4 people I was seeing in Dredgehaunt today was a Guardian) – don’t know why that is.

Engineers definitely the lowest followed by Mesmer – out in the world anyway.

Stood in the mists for 15 minutes today clicking on people to see what kind of proportions it was and in there it seemed pretty level (same in Lion’s Arch), still engineers definitely rarer than anything else though.

Yeah got to agree with most of that but in particular the human options. Just can’t make a human with the way they look at the moment. Males, there’s one face that looks like Clint Eastwood and the rest look like 16 year olds.

More old/middle aged faces, more beard styles (MEN grow beards, especially in medieval settings, not these little chinstraps, goatee etc. – I would say just give the Norn beard styles to humans but I guess they were kept separate for a reason, to distinguish the two).

I want to make a short, fat middle aged wizard not a little boy prancing around. Need an age slider and a weight slider or more faces/physiques to represent that.
