Guild Wars 2

In addition to this, how about a Guild Bulletin board in Guild Halls too? Sometimes GMoTD is not enough space to write announcements especially in highly social guilds.

I think this would be a great option, limited to being enabled/disabled by Guild Ranks.

That option is in your full options panel I believe.

Edit: Last option in the chat panel using the cogwheel is a check box to show in game bubbles.

Sounds more like a case of bad luck, I’ve had my current naga for 4 years and the one before that for 3 years, no it didn’t die, I just wanted a green one. It was a year old model when I bought it and that’s still alive now, 7-8years later.
Razer products all have a warrenty, so why not return it and get a new one for free?
I know the Logitech G600 is pretty good, but I wont stray from Razer since they’re highly reliable for me.

Definitly a bug, all I can suggest is to submit a bug report, ticket the items you should have recieved by using however many potions, and just hoard the potions until further notice =\

Hmm sounds like a bug. Was you in HoTM when you did this? Or in PvE?

I think I would pick some similar ones to you :P

Mesmer – Dagger or Longbow
Ele – Sword
Necro – Shortbow
Thief – Sword offhand
Engineer – Mace
Ranger – Rifle
Guardian – Dagger
Warrior – Pistol
Revenant – Longbow

Theres a bunny ears thread a page or two back.

SAB is broke and needs serious work to fix properly, again in another extensive thread elsewhere.

They are contained in achievement chests, no need to purchase anything.

And to the person above, 2 legendaries require Box of fun to make gift of entertainment, Quip and The Moot. I’ve made both and didn’t spend a Gem on a single box of fun for either.

Necro has barely any party support but has pretty high consistent damage. It’s the party support that people don’t want necros. They can inflict aoe weakness but that’s about it I think.
I still love my necro and my thief all the same though, unless an lfg is being too picky I have to choose.

So, instead of semi(blocking access for a few days) or permabanning(complete deletion) an account, you want to torment them too? Those deserving of a semi-ban wont be able to log in at all and that is fitting punishment for being a kittenhead. (Yes, I typed kitten)

It’s far more punishing for peoples accounts to be deleted than to be exiled. Why? If they were genuine players that were just being kittens, they would lose their character names forever, that’s a big deal to some people. They have to rebuy the game, which at the moment is the expansion price, again why? Because they have to part with something IRL to play again. Something something psychology, which would benefit Anet with another account purchase.

Don’t fix what isn’t broke.

Hmm, my thought was that skills are to be operated with keys 1-0 above qwerty, not mouse clicking (which is absurd in an MMO).
Thankfully, I’ve had a Razer Naga for 5years and have all of my skills and Fskills bound to it.

This “fix” you’re asking for is not needed. Mousing over something was always intended to be used to grab more info about the target you land on. That’s why you have tooltips for everything you own on your account.

Wanting to fix something that isn’t broken is a bit of a waste of resources.

By actually playing and doing content, I get between 10-30 shards a day. Getting one on level up is now trivial to the fact they drop everywhere now, not just champion bags.

It’s a gemstore mini. Coming soon.

Vavume.8065:

Where is the option to decline this service? all I get is constant “Remind me later” or " accept" options…

This.

And:

@Drow – Your account isn’t on your phone. Your phone is just a receiver for a One Time code text message. Let’s see… what is on there? Geez, it’s not even from a phone number. Sender looks like XXX-XXX. Dang, I wanted to call MO and say hi.

The message says “Your ArenaNet code is: XXXXXXX.” and that’s it. No ties to GW2 accounts or even a game for that matter. If someone did try to access my account from another IP address it will send a new One Time code to my phone. Making the bad guys go “Curses… Foiled again!” and Not get account access.

I hope that helps. It really is very clever…

Umm, no. You just reiterated what Anet’s solution is but did not answer my question. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I NO LONGER HAVE A TELEPHONE – because it got lost, stolen, or I don’t use that phone number anymore because I’ve changed phone services, or it fell in a lake idc what. I’m not trying to be difficult but I’ve used backup systems for password checks in games before and lost my account. How does the system work if my phone number changes suddenly? Is there an account page I can declare a new phone number on? Will that page EVEN WORK if Anet decided to check me because, idk, maybe I went to play the game at the library with the geek club or at my college or at freaken Starbucks so I set of the wrong IP and I’ve forgotten I changed phone services that month and have a new number.

WHAT DO I DO IF MY PHONE NUMBER HAS CHANGED?

And it is not a “one time” message dude. It’s suppose to happen EVERY TIME your IP changes.

Ok. It says in the link that was posted to contact support. What I did to see if there was another option was:
1) log into the forum
2) go to My Account, top right below your display name.
3) at the top are options. I chose security.
4) on the left is credentials. In there is Two Step Verification: edit
5) clicking on edit gives me: Unlink your phone.

That’s as far as I went but that should remove your phone if you lose it or change the number.

And what would you need to log into your forum if your ISP like mine refreshes the IP every so often or whenever we need to reset the router? Oh yes, the Authenticator code…
On the other hand;
Personally, I already had a problem with the desktop authenticator, I upgraded to Win10 and couldn’t restore it. I contacted support and 5 minutes later (Yes!) they removed the authenticator for me to log in and set it up again. I use SMS now, it’s easier.

Why people are blowing this out of proportion is beyond me.
If you change your number it’s not instant, so you have time to update details online since you don’t need your game client to secure your account.

Drow.2081:

For that matter, what if I accidentally delete the SMS before responding?

You cancel your log in, then do it again to trigger another text.

I play on Ultra but have other character models set to medium, purely out of comfort in general gameplay, I don’t like a crowded screen.

I’m glad I don’t have any human characters, a wedding mini-skirt with train really isn’t appealing. I mean maybe today’s generation with their super loose morals would think it was awesome but this just screams “look at my panties!” It’s better on the Norns but it still looks like an Asura tent.

Meow, someone either hates women or themselves. Personally I don’t judge people for wearing whatever they do unless it’s really really bad, like Jodie Marsh style belt top, or Christina Aguilera bikini and chaps, but that’s obvious.
Following a fashion trend which is actually very tame and quite elegant now gets a reaction like yours? Were you not allowed to flaunt your ankles as a young girl? Or did all the girls/boys not take any interest in you which feeds your broad opinion about younger girls?

So you want Anet to cut sample sizes down to a certain % of the player base because age = wisdom? Still doesn’t work that way.

You can wall of text all you like, ALL feedback is good feedback, the bigger the sample size the better. Anyone in marketing can tell you this.
We are not Alpha testers, we’re the final testers, to spot mechanical bugs/flaws detrimental to gameplay, all that is needed once that is squared off is to build more content and it’s done

Although, it would not surprise me at all if they’re pulling the “Join the beta but really we’re nearly done” Betas, a la Blizzard. But maybe that’s my tinfoil hat slipping.

As a few above have stated, there could be new players that wouldn’t qualify for the “Veteran Beta whatever” that could be programmers/game analysts etc etc that would spot more things than a Veteran player that just happens to only have more hours spent on the game

The problem is what would determine a veteran and not. Time-span? Hours played? When first character was created? People who have played since headstart, yet have taken a two year break?
Also to point out, what is good is subjective. You’ll have elite players that want dps buffs to be more and more for the sake of facerolling more content, casuals to want more “natural” rewards that just happen, people who want a challenge as solo and as group bigger than 5 players.

So what is a Veteran player? I’ve seen people with 20k AP play like they only bought the game 24hrs prior. And I’ve seen people with 1k ap that enjoyed every part of the dynamics of game play, they might not play min/max best, but they understand the content.

Tl;dr- ALL feedback is good feedback, so Anet can replicate it and adjust what’s needed. Just because you’re a “veteran” does not make you any better or more priviledged in game.
Side note- I’ve been playing for nearly 3years, I guess I’m just more realistic. If you want to beta-test, then pre-purchase for the priviledge, like everyone else.

The azurite orbs/crystals should be added to the Orichalcum/mithril nodes on chance imho.

Zephyrite chest.

But again an option where a player can flag up and fight other people who flag up, wouldn’t take a complete over haul. Oh well if the game makers are lazy, can’t do much about that except not buy the expansion.

Do you even know how programming works? Something that seems like it would be easy or “just the push of a button” really isn’t. You’re talking about a function to manually override player characters to become hostiles. In the open world which has been layered with thousands of lines of code.

Guild Halls will have a PvP sandbox and from what I’ve read it sounds really good.

Yes I am a programmer, i’m sure they were thinking in the way of adding pvp servers in addition to the megaserver, that would be a nightmare. and if / else statement to turn players read would take work, but not a complete re write.

It’s not something that is going to be essential since we have WvW and sPvP.
Most people who PvE, are doing it because they like PvE, they want to PvP they have two other places to go, by choice. All I remember from games that had duelling while it was fun, you would always get the trolls that would follow people and spam that duel button like it was going out of fashion.

As much as I would like a controlled version as a map in its own right, or utilise the Arena in Black Citadel or even part of The Pavillion in DR, for people to queue as 1v1 random match up possibly with a5 min timer and a 2min re-queue timer, and the ability to just spectate to view build only. It will just not happen.

Wont happen. Would be fun for level 80 only but still wont happen. I can only imagine the ganking between a perfectly equipped thief and a low level player getting really annoyed, because he wants open world pvp but only with his level range.
Something about keeping the game modes seperate idrk.

I want it now!!

I try to do mine every day. Time constraits and all. Sometimes I just cba, it’s only 10ap.
I mix and match mine between all 3 modes, and am I one of the few that likes double Fractal dailies? I only started doing fractals regularly a week ago and I’m now scale 26, it’s encouraged my guild to progress fractals too so hardly anyone complains about this daily anymore.
I really do not miss the old dailies.

When Belcher’s bluff was first added 2years ago (not 3+, no idea where you pulled that from) you had to defeat them in a certain order, and Adnul was last, because you need one of the other skills to defeat him.
The NPC follows a pattern in skills and once you pinpoint it he’s easy. Not poorly designed, it was just out of order, Poyaqui used to be harder than him because all he would do is skill spam.
Maybe, try harder?

Electra.7530:

I chose the greatsword reward on my guardian and the sword reward on another character I’m leveling. I also want to get the mace, focus and possibly the scepter. And the trident is nice too.

As it stands now, no matter what, those level 30 weapons I receive as a reward that I’m allowed to choose do not have the skin unlocked in my wardrobe when I either right click on it or equip it.

I can only imagine it is so we won’t all be farming them. I will have to spend gold to get them. I usually use greatsword, but I like the sword and shield for my swap.

So I’ve been following this thread since it started trying to wrap my head around this.
I found your story reward and there’s no known bug surrounding these masterwork weapons and the wardrobe feature. I’m currently levelling another Engineer and I will go for Priory to spot anything.

Durmand Priory Weapon Container Level 30

Edit: These weapons are called Priory in the wardrobe since they use the same skins as the Level 80 variety but are level 30 masterwork for levelling purposes.

I think WoW is at 50gb + and there’s a new expac planned again.
I don’t actually get what the issue is since it’s not really a reason to outrage, since it’s how MMOs work, Anet have already stated that there is no ‘base game’ anymore, it IS HoT, you can no longer -just- own the base game. Out of simplicity, only one game size.

Mmos constantly change and are added to in a multitude of obvious(content)and hidden (mainly for bug fixes) reasons, therefore you should always make sure you have adequate space for it.

The game size will be the same for non-HoT and HoT purchasers, the only difference is the progressional permissions the account has to what it can access, of which data is stored on Anets side.
This is how MMOs have always worked.

Signed.
Practice mode should be practice, not a PvE friendly farm.
People should be encouraged to get better if they want to be rewarded for it so:
1st full round of practice mode to reward x rank points. Every round after degrades rank gained by 50%. Rank gain stays as it is now until Rank10 (If you’re practicing, you do so in anticipation of joining unranked, rank gain is none essential to you.)
All reward track progress is locked to 1 tier per day.

Looks like a graphical error when the mesmer shattered and it kept the effect. I’ve had it before with guardian shelter healing skill, keeping the gfx effect but stil able to use skills and stuff.

Fair point but it’s all based on an icon, nothing is confirmed so my first comment stands.

Why has it taken 3 years for it to rise to the surface though?
It’s about PvP balance that all the pets are available so those who earned their HoM pets could use them in PvP. I’d be gutted if I earned pets in gw1 and couldn’t use them in my prefered game mode.
We’re talking about pets that wouldn’t be in gw2 if it wasn’t for HoM. Not pvp/pve exclusives, this is irrelevant to the actual reason everyone can use these pets in pvp.

I smell placeholder icons, unknot your undergarments people.

PvP having equal rewards is awesome. Having exclusives to each game mode is even better. I’m betting they bring out a WvW exclusive aswell down to new objectives in HoT.
You want one of them? Do the requirement for it. I don’t see PvPer’s QQing about the Fractal only backpacks(there’s already a whole set of unique skins for it, or did you forget these PvE exclusives?) There’s also legendary items which require a Gift of Exploration, which is of course PvE only.
I remember when PvP HAD NO REWARD, no exclusives, no loot, no gold, other than the skins that were rank gated and only usable in HoTM.

Suck it up, it’s good that both PvP and PvE have their niche items to go for. I will be going for both of the new backpacks

Bawi.9541:

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Map shards only hold a certain number of spawnable objects, like banners, tps merchants etc, I think it’s 5.
If everyone and their mother spawned karma/exp banners, whoever wanted to couldn’t spawn a hero banner and Karma bonfire which is more efficient, leaving room for a tp and a merchant. And maybe a swiftness banner between the turrets.

Elaborating on the cost, why not increase the price of the kit to 500-800 gems but allow for it to have charges instead, the higher price would make more people reach for their irl wallets rather than the
gold->gemtab.
Gw2 is a for profit business afterall.

If you have completed any cities which should appear on your beta characters, go to those cities in beta and you get a transmutation charge for each city.

The Reaper shroud is amazing, the greatsword, not so much. I wish the Skill 1 was just a cleaver with a 240 radius, same skill animation to revs hammer throw animation.

Yeah im sorry but I am not going to start dishing out my phone numbers to game companies, I don’t care how secure they say they are or what they say they will use them for I just don’t trust anyone anymore when it comes to personal information and the internet, which is why I give minimal information and use only paypal, definatly no phone numbers.

If you have a Facebook, or are using Google, this is actually pointless.

Or Win10 or even just connecting to the internet is bad. /tinfoilhat

Fact is if you are really that insecure about using the sms function. Buy a cheap payasyougo sim card and a cheap phone and use that number instead.
Anet have stated they wont sell numbers on since this feature is purely to keep your account safe only.
Or use the desktop authenticator.

Good news, you can reskin aquabreathers through the wardrobe, yes there’s already a couple of skins for them. So you can still use the rime rimmed one underwater even if you want the ascended aquabreathers.
As for using them on land for helm skin, I don’t see why not, they released an aquabreather helm skin, which just looks like an aquabreather but for land use.
Might be an issue with slot categories, but shouldn’t be too much effort to just merge the helm skins and have the aquabreather as a cosmetic item underwater, to not break immersion.

Because fun>meta.

I also run non meta stuff from time to time (necro only team in high lvl fractals etc), but may I ask you why playing a meta build prevents people from having fun? As far as I know, none of the meta players (at least that I know) are forced by a gun on their head to play a meta build. And my guildies that run meta builds…I don’t know – somehow they do manage to have fun too. What kind of sorcery is that?

I run Meta aswell on my main dungeon/fractal runners. Fun>meta doesn’t mean that you don’t have fun running meta, but that having a fun time playing regardless of meta or not is more valuable. Should I rephrase to Fun>Meta-Or-Gtfo?
I’m a big believer in run what you like, aslong as you like it. it’s not effected our dungeon/fractal runs.

Might just be me but having an option to slow the camera movement down when realigning to follow character on a slider would be nice too. I like to look around a lot while exploring and having to either hold right click or keep dragging it is awful.

Leo G.4501:

So if cookie is biscuit to you guys, then what do you call biscuits? And what do you use the word cookie for?

Well, I’m from the UK, but what Americans call biscuits we would call dumplings or scones, depending on the recipe. And they use the word cookie as we would in the UK use biscuit. It’s a bit confusing.
I call it weird. jkjk

Necros would be BN biscuits. Not fantastic for dunking, mediocre taste, but you like them because they remind you of when you was a kid.

My guild master runs an amazing Cleric elementalist build for when we run dugeons with new people either to dungeons or the game. He hits like a soggy biscuit but his support is really good and standard dungeons don’t take long at all, we aren’t speed runners but we get through pretty quick with no casualties.
Because fun>meta.

Engineers would be Oreos because only one biscuit ‘requires’ you to twist lick dunk which is overcomplicated. I just want to eat my biscuit.

Thieves would be Rich Tea biscuits, only 1-2 second dunk otherwise they’re a soggy mess.
