The item itself actually says Able to mine all metals, so it is quite unlikely that they would be unable to mine any possible higher tier.

I see, I’d still like a dev comment on this just to ensure.

On a second thought though, I think it’s unlikely they’ll release new node tiers because then they’d have to add new armor/weapon/etc tiers into the game and they promissed ascended would be the last of them.

You won’t get a dev response confirming, the response you will get is “We have no plans do add higher tiers right now, nor are we working on it. We cannot guarantee we will never add tiers, but it is currently not being worked on or considered.”

This sums it up pretty well:

“We have no plans do add higher tiers right now, nor are we working on it. We cannot guarantee we will never add tiers, but it is currently not being worked on or considered”

OMG it’s like a conspiracy or something. /sarcasm

Very funny indeed.
Now, where are those tinfoil hats we asked for so many months ago? I just know you guys would sell a ton in the Gem store.

Can’t wait to get ahold of the endless sickle and axe. Never again to worry over which tool I had forgotten to buy.

I’ve been found out…

::HIDES::

I often find myself falling off things, and doing a faceplant. But I don’t think they were jumping puzzles. That seems like an annoying bug, also a bug I seen is where I take a little more HP loss when falling than I actually have.. Just sayen’

I entered the thread thinking it was just going to be a whole bunch more forum QQ, I leave feeling like I somehow seen qq, without having to see qq, and am so much more confused because of it.

But I see your point.

Our development team reviews play input on a regular basis. They are aware of this suggestion, but have not yet reached a decision on what changes, if any, they will make to targeting.

There is a lot going on right now with the upcoming event, but after that, the team will take a look at a lot of different game elements, and may make some changes in the future.

Sorry I don’t have more specific information, but you can be sure this is not being ignored or rejected without due consideration.

Thanks for understanding.

Any updates? This was posted months ago and I still have right-click targeting

Isn’t the end of F&F may 16th’ish? Maybe they will have time to do a fix in end of May patch or June patch.

Geotherma.2395:

I have almost 1billion kinah in Aion, but i don’t play it so it just sits there. Its not losing money tho, just taking up pixel space :P Especially since my characters are sitting on so many items that are no longer available. If I had 10-100,000 gold (probably close to the equivalent here) in gw2, I’d probably just waste it on influence or event stuff to make contests etc anyway.

I’m holding on to my gw2 items, tradeable or not. But soon I will need more bank space so hopefully they increase the cap..

You also have to think about opportunity cost. If you had 10k-100k gold sitting in your gw2 bank, in a sense you would be losing gold. While the amount of gold you have won’t be dropping, you are missing out on making gold with the gold you already have.

If you think the items you’re holding on to will increase in value, that is fine. But for just gold, you lose the potential gains by letting it sit in a bank. It’s very similar to having $1 million and putting it under your mattress, while you could invest that $1 million and get interest instead.

Side note for the bank cap. You can create your own “private” guild where only your characters are inside of it. Eventually, you can buy a guild bank and have a lot of extra storage there.

I’ve done that as well and increased it twice, but you cannot store account bound/soul bound items there. But also gold is pretty easy to get, and I’ve kind of run out of uses for it, so making more (for me) just doesn’t seem important.

Nihevil.8024:

I’m totes poor, and I have been playing since headstart.

I blame wvw, in your case :P

I’m right handed and I use the Razer Deathadder. It has 2 side buttons, but I’m not big on using extra mouse buttons (I know that makes no sense :P I have a tactx keyboard too, still no keybinds). I use right click to swivel around as seen in the videos, if I need to look just a little left/right I use A or D to adjust slightly although mouse is more accurate. It is not a rollerball mouse, its a laser wired mouse. Just to clarify what I call a rollerbal mouse is those mice that have the ball on top to scroll (I hate those..).

I don’t really use keybindings, although the left side extra button is good for keybinding keyboard key 1 (auto attack) which is why I can run in circles around mobs smoothly, at least for me.

I use tab targeting to acquire any target in groups of mobs, mostly because I farm a lot. But I also quickly tab through mobs in a dungeon or event, if i ever click a mob which is rare it is with the left click. If I am targeted onto an NPC which happens when I spam F key like a kitten trying to loot… then I press esc to deselect or left click. I do tend to hold right click down a lot while moving and running, it isn’t straining on my hand because it takes almost no pressure to do so with this mouse. I do have over-wolf, but its never on anymore because I don’t use it.

Sometimes I will use both left/right click to run through groups of mobs while tapping skills, or do this to tap a skill that is no where near ASWD keys like 8,9,0. I know I could bind them and make it easier but meh.

I do play wvw sometimes, I start with attacking rather than targeting when it is a single person. I do the same with most mobs as well, it seems to attack the nearest, but I tab between mobs to “tag” better with AOE.

I have 1 of every class, every race, not all are 80 most at least have their skills finished though. Actually 11 characters, but at least 1 of each.

I hold down right click and double tap a direction to dodge in that direction, this allows me to pan-run-and dodge fluidly rather than have key-bindings or stopping and stuttering action.

I doubt any of that really helps.. but all I have seen so far is:
(For me)
Left click selects/deselects targets
Right click auto-attacks targets you select and rotates camera
Holding both mouse buttons down allows you to run and move camera while still being able to tap skills.

My one complaint while farming is I wish loot was a different key than interact so that i stopped stopping to raise npc’s when I mean to loot near them.. Or they could add loot pets with auto-loot :P Buts that’s a different discussion altogether.

Guardian Of Tyria.6397:

Bottom line, if you think it will be a limited item and will be wanted by people, invest, even if it’s only a small portion of your cash because having your gold in the bank will not make you money.

^This

Anyone who sits on 1k in actual gold is losing money every day as everyone else is also making gold every day decreasing the purchasing power that your gold holds.

Arguably, his dungeon tokens have more value.

I have almost 1billion kinah in Aion, but i don’t play it so it just sits there. Its not losing money tho, just taking up pixel space :P Especially since my characters are sitting on so many items that are no longer available.

You also have a chance at fine ones from BL chests.

Are there any other skins in game that you can reskin over and over from the gem store? And for that price? If the answer is no, why would you assume they would change that now? “Use anytime” was relating the fact that you will have it for as long as you want it to use, even after it is gone from gem store. Because people keep asking if their items will disappear after the limited time items leave the store..

“Processor
Intel® Core™ i7-3770K – 3.5 GHz

32 GB DDR3 (4×8GB)
Harddisk
3000 GB SATA 3G+128GB SSD – 7200 o/m
Graphiccard
AMD HD 7970 – 3GB dedicated”

That seems fine, and above the recommended. I’m a little surprised the 3.5 isn’t OC’d to 3.9 or even 4.0, but that’s no biggy. As for the graphics card I’m not familiar with AMD cards only nvidia, so someone else would have to comment there. My specs are in my signature.

Would you like some salt and pepper for the foot you just stuck in your mouth?

I challenge you to actually follow and read the thread you provided. It has only three responses, one of which is a link to the “hot new releases” page on the GW2 site which covers the mining pick, the new dyes and new street clothes. NOTHING about the Rox/Braham items.

You can take the self righteous path all you want when you are right but in this case you are not.

While I’d like to believe that the items are now permanent additions to the TP I’d much rather get a firm answer from ANet so I can plan accordingly.

Couldn’t you just log in and look?
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/red-hot-new-items-in-the-gem-store-now/

“This heavy-duty mining tool, forged by the Molten Alliance, has unlimited charges and the same efficiency as the Orichalcum Mining Pick. Don’t wait—this fiery harvesting tool is only available from April 15 to May 13 in the Services category. Can you dig it?”

“Available Now in the Gem Store!
Log into Guild Wars 2 and press “O” to access the Black Lion Trading Company for these great offers and more!”

You can now purchase Braham and Rox’s weapon skins in the Gem Store! Braham’s Mace and Shield and Rox’s Short Bow and Quiver are each available in the Style category for 600 gems. Apply each skin to any weapon of the same type to change its appearance. Skins can either be applied to a PvE item or added to your PvP locker for use in the Mists.
There is now a rare chance to get the Cheetah Charr or Killer Whale Quaggan backpack covers from the Black Lion Chest. Black Lion Chest Keys can be obtained from the Gem Store in the Consumable category for 1 for 125 gems or 5 for 450.
To celebrate spring, the Gem Store will make available one miniature baby animal each week for the next 5 weeks. The first of these adorable additions is the Mini Hippo Calf, which is now available in the Minis category of the Gem Store for 400 gems each.
The Sonic Tunneling Tool can now be purchased from the Style category of the Gem Store for 250 gems each. This neat piece of tech lets your character move just under the surface instead of running. Simply equip the item in the toy slot of your town clothes and use the skill to start tunneling. The item does not change obstacles, and entering combat makes you resurface.”

Glaurung.1076:

Iam no marketing or economics expert but wouldnt it be better if you left those items on the shop permanently so people would have more options in the trading post? Also this limited time only trend has to stop. Its pretty stressful for people that collect stuff.

Actually it is smarter to have them labeled as limited, since that would mean people will rush to buy them while they are available.
People that want to get them will get them fast anyway.

Yeah but down the line think of all the people that would want to add that something extra to an alt of theirs (like the quiver) and they wont be able to.

You could purchase extras. The living story content and limited items are prestige items, when these arcs disappear so does the chance to obtain those aspects of tyrias (and GW2’s) history. That is kind of the point of living world content, people who experience it now before its gone get to enjoy the rewards of doing so.

Honest question: If you started getting 3 exotics everyday and a ring every fractal run, would you make this post and say RNG is broken?

1500+ hours of PvE and I have had exactly ONE exotic drop from a mob. Yea… That’s broken, brother.

1500 lottery tickets, never won the 65 mil. RL rng might have the same bug..

This bothered me too. How are you supposed to make a yoda character if you can’t make an 80 year old asura?

Play star wars? :P

But in star wars you can’t turn into a black almost invincible cloud of death that sucks everyone’s health around it lol.

Well if everyone wanted something like that I would just have them put my ex in the game.

Aren’t asura already kind old and ugly usually lol? I think the characters definitely need more options, not just elderly ones tho ^^

GreenNekoHaunt.8527:

Yeah but all those items cost so you can manage your bank contents.

If I don’t want to manage bank contents but check upon collected amounts. There’s no reason to pay. You don’t pay money to see how much money you have on your bank account when accessing online. At least I don’t..

GW1 Charged you for inviting people to guild ^^; (Or so I have been told)
So 35 gems isn’t too bad, but what your are referring to is convenience aspect. And we all know where convenience items end up :P

RoyHarmon.5398:

I’ll give you that one, yes. Being unable to target things consistently is a more subtle frustration than not being able to log in, but you’re missing my point.

RoyHarmon.5398:

The fact that you don’t experience the problem means you’re not qualified to judge its severity. The only contribution you could offer is the anecdotal evidence that some people, including yourself, do not seem to experience this issue. Many others (in this thread, in other threads in this forum, in threads on other forums, and presumably some who don’t use forums or haven’t seen these threads) have experienced the problem to some degree.

The fact that I provided visual evidence that it doesn’t happen to everyone is not anecdotal. The fact that i don’t experience the problem, nor do 400 guild members, and 35 friends, is not anecdotal. It may be a small sample, but still provides context. But I could say the same to you. 300 people, yourself included are not qualified to judge what Arenanet believes is a fix that needs implementation RIGHT NOW. They have far more experience and knowledge on the subject, but aside from that the forums are free to post on. And I haven’t once belittled, put down, or called any members a liar. People like evidence, statistics, and other ways of confirming a problem so that it can be seen/felt. I’ve proven I’m willing to take hours, days, weeks of my game time just to help the community, if you lack that understanding feel free to check my BLTC thread about salvage kits. To say i have no opinion, no say, no voice in this matter does not add credibility to your statements.

RoyHarmon.5398:

Many of us lose target several times a day due to this issue. Some of us may find ways to adapt; personally, I’ve just gotten used to not having a clue which potential target I’ll end up hitting, and I’ve adjusted my playing style to account for that expectation of randomness. If the various issues with the targeting system were fixed (“select nearest target” being another egregious offender), I would be much happier with the game.

Again, you like others found a way around it, so there IS a way until it is fixed. Inability to log in, classes being unbalanced, game bugs so severe people cannot progress, those things come first.

RoyHarmon.5398:

In the meantime, I just do my best to point the damage in the right direction and try to use skills that won’t reach outside of aggro range, just in case. Can I coordinate my skills with my party for maximum synergy? No way! I can’t count on hitting the right target half the time. But can I hit the button and expect it to do damage to something that already wants to hurt me? Yes, as long as there are no neutral creatures, friendly NPCs, or other players on my screen. Such is my Guild Wars 2 experience, thanks to the glitchy targeting system. I’m glad your experience is better, because I do enjoy the game (I play it with my wife, who has also commented on the quirky targeting), and though I want others to enjoy it like I do, I don’t expect everyone to tolerate the kind of haphazard targeting that I’ve come to expect.

I also play with my wife, but she doesn’t experience this issue either. I have no problem with people explaining a problem or bug in the game and asking for attention to it. It is when people try and tell devs what is important and how they should patch the game. On top of that they insult people who work for the game, toss out names like angry children, or simply bring no information to the thread whatsoever other than to say “games dying/game sucks”. There are some well thought out posts here, but they are the minority. But I think some people seem to think I’m somehow against the idea that this needs to be fixed or that “oh it doesn’t happen to me, so no one cares”. But that’s simply not the case. As I’ve stated, I take it on myself to help the community with visual evidence on just about any topic, whether I agree with it or not. And if that doesn’t somehow deserve me (along with owning and paying $ for microtransactions) some reasonable amount of space in this thread then maybe your right and I’m wasting my time responding.

Well right now you can see your collections tab from:

-Going to a bank NPC
-Going to a crafting NPC
-Using the bank Express from gem store (35 Gems or free random drop from chests or “maybe” daily possible reward too?"
-If you have the DDE you can access your bank anywhere for a limited amount of time before that item expires in a few days.
-You can buy a permanent bank contract from BLTC (or hope for the luckiest rng chest drop ever) which would allow you access forever, anywhere, any time. I think they are 120g ish, maybe/probably higher.

That is 5 ways right now, and most of them are pretty convenient. Maybe an alternative account bound limited bank express would be nice. Maybe like the DDE one you can buy and lasts 7/14/30 days. Maybe 100/300/500 Gems.

Just some thoughts ^^

The exact words I say to my car every 2 months.

Life has a cycle, for once an MMO is trying to incorporate that fact.

If the armor gets any more skimpy they will be naked… The title of this thread just makes it sound straight sexist and teen-boy ish…

Why not just start a “serious” thread about how we would like new armor styles on characters outside of gem shop. Then an actual discussion could have been had.

PS to the person who keeps posting the Aion pics.. I’m just gonna give people the actual link, cause basically thats what your asking for is armor from Aion.

Onshidesigns.1069:

Anet, there are many people with extremist points of view on how much skin should be visible in game. Some claim it undermines women to show more skin ingame. But few people have said they want the armor to look like Tera. These extremists forget that many women in the 60s and 70s fought hard to express themselves in the sexual revolution.

Instead of armor like Tera. How about armor that’s a little more skimpy but stylish.
Like these examples.
*first image: shows the type of form fitting armor this game is missing
*2nd image: Is skimpy without being like Tera
*3rd image: Or right, need more mini dresses/shirts

Why do people keep posting armor from Aion……..

Faux Play.6104:

If you watch the video I posted you can see the click not acquiring a target at 4:18. Mouse down shows as blue/black highlights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM8-VJLbbqY
I know having “click lock” enabled will cause you to not acquire stuff if you click too slow. I only recorded the GW2 settings, so I can’t say for sure if that was the problem.

If Anet’s goal is for GW2 to be an “e-sport”, I expect them to take this seriously. Personally I think the disable right click is not the correct solution. The glitch should be fixed. It should not be that difficult to define a target acquisition as a click with no mouse motion. Anything else should be a rotation.

I also posted this as a bug. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Camera-motion-and-target-selection-w-1-click/first#post1943672

Geotherma.2395:

Obsidian.1328:

Yeah…I’d add that it doesn’t always change target when releasing the right-click. It’s random as far as when it does or doesn’t. At least that’s been my experience. :/
And autoattack, while fine for PvE I suppose, is not good to use in W3.

I think what upsets peeps the most is both that it seems like such an easy fix, and that ANet doesn’t seem to want to address it. It’s a pretty large thread for a minor problem.

I attempted several times and didn’t see the sometimes factor, but that was just me. I know left click could be some part to this whole thing.

As far as the thread itself, if you delete the “X game is coming out soon, the heck with this” “game is dying”, there is a lot less pages. Also minusing the people who just see a big thread and want to contribute to help whether or not they actually know whats going on. Again, not saying the problem don’t exist, but I don’t think its a “need right now” kind of fix, just a fix that hopefully they are working on for those having troubles with it.

I actually think a bug fits this better tbh. It sounds more like it isn’t “always” working as intended. But between the people accidentally clicking left click to deselect and not knowing it, and the posts with 0 contribution to the exact problem, I think they are not sure what the actual problem is. I’ve recorded me just playing, but I haven’t seen this or perhaps I’ve just worked around it naturally (I played Aion before this, idk if that makes a difference). But maybe its a bug rather than an intended game mechanic, though I don’t really know as I’m just recording how I play and may not be triggering it like others..

There was a hotfix just today that included the following:

• Fixed a bug where the launcher would get stuck updating at 99%

Did I ever have this problem? No, not at all. Do I know anyone personally who had this problem? I don’t, in fact.
Does this mean it’s not a “need right now” kind of fix? Well, certainly not for me, but I expect those who were affected might feel otherwise. The developers apparently agreed, since they went to the trouble of fixing it in a non-monthly patch.

Not sure you can compare a bug that literally blocks you from logging in, to a button press style of some players that are still able to actually play the game ^^

Firebaall.5127:

Geotherma.2395:

Not all merchant credit cards charge per transaction, most of them charge a monthly fee. Companies like American Express charge a great deal more percentage wise than others, but they still follow the same lines. Per transaction fees are for small companies, or single types of transactions for someone like an avid amazon user etc.

And the conversion isn’t the problem, it is that people who buy gems with gold are disadvantaged, this kind of model would probably lose a ton of customers who earn their gems via time/gold spent.

Your final point isn’t fair to address the playerbase like that. Most places are in a depression economic wise, or in countrys where something like 10$ for a non essential product would be insane. You seem like you are talking down to those people who are less fortunate, much like the entire idea stated does. I’ve spent over 2,000 USD on the game in 3 months, but even I do not ever want to have an advantage over people who play and grind or farm or w.e for gems to buy those luxury items they want. I have a ton of gem items, none of which give me unfair advantage other than maybe some speed in certain areas like xp boosts etc. But i don’t look down on others who cant afford to buy those items, I have been on both ends of that spectrum and know exactly where they are coming from. It seems some people in this thread clearly don’t.

Some charge per transaction plus a percent, some don’t. Whatever the model they get charged for my purchases isn’t really the issue here.

You can’t tout “fairness” to players where any game gold can be bought. Fairness doesn’t even play into the picture. It’s about motivating game supporters with a reward for purchasing larger amounts of store currency.

My point about spending the money is perfectly proper. If you’re so hard up that $10 is make or break, you need to make a reassessment of time spent playing games to the degree that you are grinding for luxury in game items. Depressed economy or otherwise. It’s not a situation of looking down on anyone. That’s just a fact.

I think you’re trying to climb on a high horse, just to cover up your lack of substance in your argument.

I don’t believe I’m on some high horse, I just see the game economy and world economy differently than you. I also care about the people who do not have as much and want a fair deal. Their time is their currency, and that should be respected just as much as cash thats changed to currency in game. Discounts would cause a market problem, especially at higher tiers where you might even be able to convert back and forth for infinite profit. You are asking for discounts on gems so that you can support the company more, but do you really truly have any idea all that is entailed in that word “discount”? And how much that “discount” actually costs? Much like buying a new customer, your in game discounts are a big deal when it comes to real cash value. Discounts for digital items that are bought with digital currency is a different story. But you are essentially making gems worth less, and gold worth even less. But I’m not much for arguing such a silly point, the end result is entirely dependent on the company. And since I’ve already discussed this with NCsoft, don’t hold your breath for discounts.

Snow White.9680:

I’ll probably shop around for another mmo if mounts do end up getting a definite no. I know it doesn’t make a lot sense to most players but it’s one of those make or breaks for me.

You see..
When asked about mounts in beta start anet said simply: ‘not at launch’. That small comment left a glimmer of hope in me someday I could have a beautiful horse mount in my favorite MMO: GW2. So I went on to I by GW2 and happily leveled up hanging onto that hope…

As time goes on things look grim for mounts especially with a nonsensical hostility about them coming from the community.

All that is keeping you here is the “chance” that someday you will get to ride something in the game?

Well then… Good thing it is a buy to play game and not a sub I guess if many people would leave for small things like this and the various others on these forums.

Would you stay for a story instance where you could ride a horse into battle or something? This would make sure that players who don’t want to see mounts wouldn’t, and so long as the instance was optional, I think it would be win win. Maybe even make it repeatable, or have a few of them around. But world mounts.. No.. It starts with PVE, then bleeds into WVW, remember NCsoft is at the top here, and we don’t want GW2 becoming Aion… I’ll uninstall the day that happens.

I think this thread is directly relevant to some patch notes

Except for the people who buy gems with gold, who would never see these discounts, not to mention the impact on the economy for those who get extra gems and transfer to gold. Someone like me who spends large amounts on gems could easily bank off gems>gold and buy just about everything in game. And those who are unable to make these larger purchases would never see this benefit and be at a great disadvantage. That doesn’t seem fair to anyone. I don’t want an advantage over those who can only afford $10, and I don’t want an advantage over people who use their time to buy gems with gold. Despite the large amounts I spend, I’m not for this.

And you really aren’t saving/making them more money. https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees

Merchant credit card accounts get charged per transaction, and a percentage. I don’t pay via Paypal.

20% more gold is no more game breaking that buying gold in the first place. You’ve not calculated the actual money to gems conversion. You could buy 10s of thousands of dollars in real world money and still be insignificant, in terms of economy breaking. No one would even notice you. If by some obscene amount you spent, they did notice your effect on the economy………20% more wouldn’t matter. Ridiculous point, and you highly exaggerate by saying “greatly”.

As for the “unfair to those that can’t afford it” argument. Get a job or look for some supplementary income. If you have time to play a game, and worry about those that can afford to buy more in game currency. You have time to get some other income happening.

We should all resolve to buy the $10 option (multiple times), to arrive at the amount you intended to purchase.

Worst boycott ever.

Stop selling me stuff sir. Or else I shall buy some more.

Not all merchant credit cards charge per transaction, most of them charge a monthly fee. Companies like American Express charge a great deal more percentage wise than others, but they still follow the same lines. Per transaction fees are for small companies, or single types of transactions for someone like an avid amazon user etc.

And the conversion isn’t the problem, it is that people who buy gems with gold are disadvantaged, this kind of model would probably lose a ton of customers who earn their gems via time/gold spent.

Your final point isn’t fair to address the playerbase like that. Most places are in a depression economic wise, or in countrys where something like 10$ for a non essential product would be insane. You seem like you are talking down to those people who are less fortunate, much like the entire idea stated does. I’ve spent over 2,000 USD on the game in 3 months, but even I do not ever want to have an advantage over people who play and grind or farm or w.e for gems to buy those luxury items they want. I have a ton of gem items, none of which give me unfair advantage other than maybe some speed in certain areas like xp boosts etc. But i don’t look down on others who cant afford to buy those items, I have been on both ends of that spectrum and know exactly where they are coming from. It seems some people in this thread clearly don’t.

tigirius.9014:

the problems I’m seeing with it is it actually can take an entire day to complete now. Seriously, like 6-8 hours of gameplay with some combinations they need to ensure that there are an equal number of quick things to do with the long drawn out things to do or remove the long drawn out ones entirely. Like killing the invaders thing? 150? really? that’s extreme.

There’s plenty of things to do open world that we could accomplish that they just haven’t added and we asked for them before in threads when they said they wanted to make changes originally to make it our choice. Well it’s not really our choice if we have all pvp long drawn out dungeon only stuff and things like killing 150 of something we have no control the spawn times on is it.

What happened to trying on new pieces of towns clothes or doing minigames a certain number of times or finding a certain number of hidden chests in open world. These are dailies we’re talking about here not monthlies. The stuff they are giving us might as well be weeklies.

6 HOURS???? o.o wow… When I finish my daily every day in 15-20 minutes, now I feel like I’m doing something wrong…

They all say limited time in game, if they are limited time. As for how long they will remain I would guess until the dungeon is over, maybe longer, but I wouldn’t bet on that just in case. At the very longest I would say June 1, but again that doesn’t seem likely.

Obsidian.1328:

Yeah…I’d add that it doesn’t always change target when releasing the right-click. It’s random as far as when it does or doesn’t. At least that’s been my experience. :/
And autoattack, while fine for PvE I suppose, is not good to use in W3.

I think what upsets peeps the most is both that it seems like such an easy fix, and that ANet doesn’t seem to want to address it. It’s a pretty large thread for a minor problem.

I attempted several times and didn’t see the sometimes factor, but that was just me. I know left click could be some part to this whole thing.

As far as the thread itself, if you delete the “X game is coming out soon, the heck with this” “game is dying”, there is a lot less pages. Also minusing the people who just see a big thread and want to contribute to help whether or not they actually know whats going on. Again, not saying the problem don’t exist, but I don’t think its a “need right now” kind of fix, just a fix that hopefully they are working on for those having troubles with it.

Firebaall.5127:

At worst, your CC bill will look a bit messy. At best, maybe the transaction fees will get Anet to reconsider the fact that when we buy larger amounts, they make more money. At very best, they might understand that it’s a good thing to offer bonus gems for high paying orders.

More Profit, More Gems…..happy customers, happy Anet.

Well Anet would know whether or not they actually possessed the item, they have plenty of code/logs they can use to find out if someone is trying to fool them. So if you contact them I’m sure they will send you a response either way, but if you neglected to look at the confirm box and it was user error you most likely won’t get another.

Even if someone wanted to fool gamers/forums, they wouldn’t fool anet so easily.

Two things…

1) pressing AND releasing the right mouse button acquires a target if the cursor is over one, not just pressing only. While this is not a problem for players that continually hold down the right mouse button, the hordes of players that use it on and off for movement are getting screwed by it at every encounter.

2) using a key-bind for “acquire nearest target” is screwed up to. Many, many times I try to use it with my intended target literally right in front or next to me and instead it acquires a target next to it, behind it, or sometimes behind 3-4 other mobs 30 feet away. It’s unreliable at best, completely broken at worst. As such, using the left mouse button for targeting is sometimes a necessity in small fights(zerg warfare it doesn’t matter too much). As such…the right-click issue comes into play.

I’ve released the right click over NPC’s, is it different for mobs? I haven’t checked this yet, but i know it doesn’t select NPC’s upon release.

For the nearest target thing, I know that tab targeting is never truly 100% right as far as selecting nearest target. Autoattack seems to work better than tab sometimes.

I wanted to upload some videos so that maybe people can point out where the problem is if maybe I’m not seeing it. But again, I’m not saying everyone is lying or whatever, but I still do stand by the fact that this is something they will work on but is not as high priority as other things. Thats really the only thing I’m countering, not the problem itself existing, even if I do not experience it. I’ll add vids whenever youtube finally decides to finish them…

Right click for NPC’s

Faux Play.6104:

Geotherma.2395:

I posted a vid of me playing in the previous page, I had no trouble “holding target”…

Repost with your mouse pointer showing. It won’t prove anything otherwise.

I put together a video of what does it and what does not. I also tried to cover some subtle differences between the left and right mouse buttons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM8-VJLbbqY

It is more than right mouse. Left does it too. Since left will deselect a target if you click empty space it can cause you to lose a target as well. An example would be if you wanted to do a quick 90 degree look.

I think the issue can be fixed by filtering the target acquisition by any mouse motion after a mouse down.

I did post with the mouse? The second vid has mouse enabled.

Left mouse click is for selecting targets mostly, it also allows you to deselect a target. Right mouse click is generally used to move the camera. When moving the camera with the right click held down it should not select any other mobs unless you reclick the button. Left click and esc can serve the same function when a target is selected that you do not want, or you want to disengage from combat(attacking). I’m going to play around again in game and see if I end up doing what you did, but it seemed more like you just clicked the other mob.

If you right click a target it will autoattack them, if you left click it should not. If you double left click it will autoattack unless you have the option changed. If you double right click it will still autoattack with the option on/off. If you select the “Stop autoattack on target change” this would(even with the double click to attack selected) make it so that using left click to select a new target would not attack. If you have autotargeting on and you are still attacking another mob and press any attack skill again it will select the next available target, this would lead to pulling non essential mobs. If you want to select a large monster tab is the easiest, if you want to target it without attacking left click would work unless its obstructed etc. But tab does not initiate attack, so it makes more sense to use this instead. You can move the screen around with left click, which even if a mob is selected somehow in the process would not attack them. A simple esc key press or left click would deselect this mob and allow for re targeting of whatever you wanted, or nothing at all.

I consider left click a way to interact with NPC’s or to select targets if I really need to. Then I can chose to double click to attack but i prefer using the number buttons or a assigned key for skills. I rarely use the right click to autoattack, as seems its function. There may be a milisecond advantage to having right click autoattack compared to double clicking. It will also open dialogue with NPC’s automatically.

800 for $10 = 0% bonus
1600 for $20 = 5% bonus
2800 for $35 = 10% bonus
4000 for $50 = 15% bonus
8000 for $100 = 20% bonus

This is common place in online games with purchased in game currency.

Anet should be giving something back (extra) to those that support the game on a higher level. With the higher option, we are doing nothing but saving Anet the transaction fees of multiple lower denomination purchases.

Crying about hosing players that can’t (or won’t) pay for the large purchase is baloney. What difference does it make to you, if player xxxxxx has an extra set of bunny ears or a few more character slots?

…..that’s right. None.

Not really. Aion also has 0 discounts for higher purchases, also an NCsoft game.
