Surely it takes 30 seconds to group up? Someone links a waypoint in chat, everyone travels there, ensure you are all in the same overflow. Done!
As for the thing about joining personal stories I know I group with people as an easy way to chat to friends even when I am not actively playing with them so I do not particularly want to be dragged into their story all the time.
How often when walking with a friend do you try to walk in step? Just toggle walk hit auto run and the you can type and chat in a more natural way.
Have you clicked on the other tab? Dungeon armour vendors sell a basic set of armour in one tab and the cool dungeon sets in another.
Very confused with this suggestion. I understand some people think that the Carlton does not fit with the game or race. However, the idea of then suggesting it is replaced with an equally out of place dance that does not fit the setting or race any better just boggles my mind!
Just put it last in your list of bags.
Just for the record Guild Wars is named after a lore event, The Guild Wars which occured before the orginal game.
However, despite that I think you are right about not being able to queue for WvW as a guild and having no GvG feature are both very jarring for me. I hope both of these are added in the future along with the addition of guild halls to give guilds a bit more of a focus.
Thank you for the explanation Drevin those all sound sensible reasons.
Ah perhaps that is why I do not get a response, that and busy map chat! Will try mail thank you.
Why not just spend the extra 600 gems and keep them in the bank?
I find the no inspect thing odd. I sometimes do think “Wow what armour is that?” with inspect I could find out and give myself the goal to work towards it. Without I either whisper the guy in hope of a response or more oftem spend a lot of time on google or showing a screenshot to people in order to find out what it is and then set the goal.
I think that very much depends on the city!
For the asura they are in the centre of Rata Sum on the top level. For the sylvari they are again on the top level and you just follow the path from the entrance to the grove round to the left they are not far past the asura gate.
The other races I am afraid I have not looked for the vendors.
Ah right so yellow materials, I think they epic rather than rare? Um really not got the hang of this different colouring system. I have to agree I was confused that they didn’t go into the collectibles but I suppose as they are much less common do they affect your bank space that much?
To be honest it really is not that long in the scheme of a guild. A week is not a long time and it is for the higher levels of upgrades.
In a more bitter tone, with so few other thing on offer there doesn’t seem to be much else to do with the build queue. I was expecting more from the system.
What do you mean by rare materials? Rare collectibles for crafting already have a collectibles slot.
As for expansion cost you can expand your bank for 600gems for 30 slots.
Have you tried you races cultural armour by visiting the vendor in your races capital?
There is a class question which determine a starter armour piece. All other questions will in some way affect your personal story.
I have seen several people ask for this and was wondering if anyone could tell me the benefit of displaying your own name? Not doubting it’s use just trying to expand my understanding.
Apparently you can use them as currency at the mystic forge, or the vendor there, or something… Have to admit the whole forge thing confuses the socks of me so sorry that is a bit vague!
You can show off both currently, you just use two transmutation stones.
Darn stupid phone posting things before I want it to! Anyways… as I was saying. I do think some better way to ‘store’ these skins would be good though but still requiring the stones to place them onto your current gear.
Well most hearts have both of these as an option rather than one or the other. For instance you can feed the cows or fight the wurms to complete the same task. As such colour coding would not work that well.
Also “ma’am” sounds awful. I know I could not stand anyone calling me that.
Disagree. You don’t have to complete 100% of the map to play the game. If you need to jump but can’t do so to reach a vista, get better. You can actually improve your hand-eye coordination by doing things like this. Don’t whine; overcome.
The vast majority of the maps do not require jumping puzzles so why on earth do a couple do? It feels like a kick in the teeth.
I can’t leave an area until I have got 100%. I do not enjoy jumping puzzles, I find them incredibly difficult, but I do enjoy completion. I spent several hours doing one vista… was this fun? No. However, do be able to do what I enjoyed it was required. I couldn’t give a monkeys about my hand-eye coordination, I give a monkeys about fun.
Vistas should most definatly be focused on exploring not jumping, for the most part I think they have this balance right. There is of course a difference between having to press the space bar a few times and a jumping puzzle.
However, there are a handful that should be moved. These ones are clearly jumping puzzles, some even have the achievements to prove it. So it is not a huge issue, I think there are only 3 or 4 like this, so should perhaps not be a overly large task to resolve.
You can buy more back tabs using gems. This can either be bought with gold or real hard cash. Apart from extending the bank a mule character with bags is the only other way to do it, although the items still have to go to the bank first.
I have never liked this idea. It just seems lazy. Want to type and run just hit auto run.
You think it’s lazy to not push a couple of keys to move your character?
I think if you just follow your friend for a while to type out a message then no that is fine. However, a system like this doesn’t stop at that point, you end up with people following others in fights do they do not have to worry about their characters mobility, that is then laziness in my view.
No you still have the experience part! You still earn exp then instead of level 81 when you fill the bar you get a skill point.
Your suggestion was based on the idea you got less than before as you do not get experience. This is not correct. You are not getting less than before. As a result I think the idea is simply “I currently want more karma so if you could double it that would be great, thanks.” I just do not think it is a very thought through idea that try’s to solve an issue that doesn’t exist.
Oh! Then yes brilliant idea. Sorry wrong end of the stick. That would indeed be helpful.
One hour block could easily be abused to target innocent players. Don’t want to see the spam while they deal with the issue just block them too.
Stupid phone… carrying on. I can understand the social concern but perhaps I have little sympathy for people who did not protect their accounts in any basic way so are allowing these people to spam in our game for free.

Fun, what ever happened to doing things because you enjoyed it? Even then you get rewards, you get karma, you get experience, you get gold, you can use all these things to your benefit.
Please please please etc. add this I know I ‘should’ keybind skills but I don’t enjoy playing that way. I know I am not the only one do pretty please let me turn off the tootips.
Not really. You are suggesting removing experience, which you will need, just to double something you currently want more. That is not really thinking about the long term.
You still earn experience, it is just used to earn you more skill points rather than levels.
I would love this. I have always felt the “Yeahy!” moment of me completing a map is tinged with the “Oh… Poodles” of finding I can not use the rewards. Just a little thing but would make a big difference.
ArenaNet have suggested using spamming in past posts. Although to be honest as long as you report it for anything I am sure support can see what the issue is.
The report for spamming option is just as effective. I really do not understand the need for a seperate option.
If you get an invisible bag any collectibles you place in it are unaffected by the deposit all feature. Perfect for keeping your minis in!
It is indeed tricky, although I have a feeling this might be an issue for all races. The camera when ‘downed’ really does need some work.
I definitely agree playing a theif myself, trying to teleport to safty is near on impossible at times simply due to the camera. I spend so much time trying place the skill it becomes a hinerance not a help.
It looks like a flag… I see no baby.
I think this may be perhaps linked to a haircut. I noticed it when I was looking at creating a male asura today that one of the hair cuts gave him a solid colour face. Although I could actually effect the colour using the hair colour choices so I just thought it was a rather odd intentional effect… looking back I very much doubt it!
I think there is a massive jump between most vistas and the jumping puzzles.
I can’t do the jumping puzzles. I was the girl back in WoW that thought the hardest part of the Wailing Caverns Dungeon was that small gap you had to leap over. In this game I am not even a little bit close in this game to completing a jumping puzzle. However, the vast majority of the vistas are ones that even someone with my very limited ability can get to as it is simply running to the correct point and perhaps making a few very small jumps. A lot require no use of the jump button at all.
There are some however, that I believe should be moved. An achievement sure! Some fun thing up there cool but 100% zone completion linked to these more complicated vistas perhaps should be removed. I did spend over an hour getting one vista and while the sense of achievement getting it was grand, I think it was more luck then skill!
I think the vistas show you have explored the map as well as completed the heart quests. So do not remove just ensure they concentrate on exploring not jumping.
but a bit of dignity on some of these armor skins wouldn’t go amiss.
The issue here is dignity is a human thing. It is great that for once a different race actually has a different sense of dignity. There is no chest for them to hide so by showing skin in that area no dignity is lost. It is a different culture with different ideas and that should be applauded.
I adore the male clothing on the female models. It just looks right, perhaps that is because I play a thief and feel women shouldn’t be running around in corsets the whole time. But for me I love the look, and it is still super cute.
I think them being brave enough to say these guys are a different race, have different physiology and just do not care about staring at women’s chests is great. It actually honestly makes them feel like a real race and not just short humans with big ears.
Have you tried popping your pets in an invisible bag/box to avoid the deposit all issue?
Have you tried this sticky thread in the player vs player forum?
Edit: Darn thought I had got the hang of forum formatting!
I think be more imaginative with your names.
If you are trying to make lore appropriate names this is easy to do with surnames for your human, norn and charr characters, crewe titles for your asura, and birth times for your sylvarii.
I have yet to have an issue with any of the names I have tried.
I am not sure of implementing them as part of the name simply because that devalues them for me, as you just make a character with the title already there. “Fi the Dragon Slayer” fits in the chracter limit for instance and no work needed!
Perhaps most people do not notice them yet as not as many people have them so people just do not know to look.
I believe an invisble bag/box will solve this issue. Pop your pets in the bag and they are no longer effected by the deposit all.
