Yeah, it’s annoying. They could’ve just implemented trading between players, like all the other mmos.

TP tax fee is the biggest, most important gold sink in the game BY FAR.
Dont ask them to completely break the economy!

Invalid argument.
If they can give free repairs now, why can’t they make a basic trading system?

I’ve spent uncomparably more on TP then for armor repairs. So its uncombarably bigger gold sink.
Also, Im not playing the TP, Im just one above-average player.

Revamp the PvE commander tags! Give us features to better organize big zergs!

Also, whats up with the language filter? Why is it enabled by default? That’s the most annoying and organization-breaking thing I’ve ever seen in a game. Thanks…
There are still dozens of people that have no idea about it. Even commanders!
Alot of commanders are complaining that guys around never listen.
Well, if they can’t see what you are writing them..

Edit: added more rants

WaterHunter.8973:

Yes, Legendaries have Ascended stats.

Ascended were added later, therefore Ascended have stats of Legendaries

But before Ascended items, Legendaries had exotic stats. They didn’t get the stats of ascended items until ascended items were out, so legendaries have the stats of ascended :p.

So they made the “auto-best-stats” true for legendaries. Cool!

Sunrise in 3 weeks, with Eternity coming who-knows-when after I get Twilight
or
craft and sell Sunrise + 2-3 more months of medicore farm to get Eternity right away?

What would you do?

I think once I get my hands down on Sunrise (I like it more then Tw), I’ll calm down with the farm and start focus on other content again, like PvP. Would you?

Legendary greatsword, cost ~3300 gold: Strenght 1,045 – 1,155
Ascended greatsword, cost ~50 gold, Strenght 1,045 – 1,155 (considering you have weaponsmithing on 500, if not, its aditional one-time 110-170 gold).

Legendary is a 2800 to 4600 gold worth skin. It has a nice feature tho, you can choose stat combination on the go.

Did google a bit more, and it seems non of those t-shirts are available anymore. Scandalous

Where they ever available?

I think some of them yes. Or its all fake?
You can find some shops, but its all “discontinued”.
Even mentions of which company made the merchandise on random forums.

Oh, so there only was Logan and the norn-girl one? >.<

Lil Puppy.5216:

Oh, and I think you’ll need to eat almost 3/4 of a million +10 lucks to max it out BTW Anet, that’s 1.5 million clicks my finger will have to do… my doctor thanks you for the paychecks he’ll be receiving from the surgery necessary to fix the carpal tunnel you’re giving me! Why again do I have to double click consumables??

Artificer, try it. Level 0

Hi,

The time has come and I feel like buying some GW2 t-shirts.
The problem is, I can’t found any? Official store is empty, tried to google, and especially the Rytlock one and the grey one are like non-existant.

Do you guys have any tips?
I prefer european/UK stores, but NA stores with decent delivery prices are alright, too.

Did they say at any point they want to make all the merchandise a “rare collectible” by cutting the supply? Why aren’t those things available anymore? -.-

A R W E N.6895:

I Will repeat my question again. where is my high level end game rewarding content

I will add that i am not talking about wow raid like stuff (never played wow fyi, only played gw1 since its begining)

I will also add that i am not talking about a gear grind.

Just to make thing clear and to make people understand that what i am looking for is something instanced to do with other player that is harder than fractal or arah. Something that you have to practice over and over again for awesome rewards. Ever heard of DOA in gw1? (Thats where your tormented skin come from fyi)

Buy DmC or Dark Souls 2 and practice them, untill LS2 comes out in 3 weeks.
LS2 should/might bring new permanent content like dung or dung paths, new zone(s), boss(es) etc.

Ravion Hawk.4736:

The commander tag should just stay in WvW.

Every time I see tags up in PvE, the map chat is filled with profanity laced insults and bickering while they try to figure out who is the “main” commander.

It just degrades into an ego contest.

Are you playing on US server?

Sounds like a great offer and im really tempted now..

calyx.9086:

Wrong. Tequatl was completely designed for casuals who know that they need to have some basic communication so that all of the mechanics of the fight are properly handled.

Nihlus.9724:

There’s a guy on Tarnished Coast named “Tribune Brimstone” that’s done a pretty good approximation.

Funny enough we also have a “Rytlock Grimstone” on TC, same look XD

I named my Charr “Rytlocks Brimstones”.
It was fine for 20 months until after Mega server, some kitten reported me, and I was forced to change my name.
Can’t people tell the difference of 2 “s”?
So unfair.

Thats just pure envy. A mean person did that.

If I would meet you, I would take a pictures with you and greet you! :/

stale.9785:

I KNOW someone is going to crawl out of the woodwork and suggest that the “correct” way to do this is to join TTS, and devote 2 hours or so of standing around, holding a spot, or getting taxied to the map. Bite me – that’s BAD design. Open world boss, in a lvl 65(?) zone, ought to be doable for people who are the appropriate level for the zone.

I’d have no issue with him being what he is now, were it possible to be sure that everyone attempting it was on the same page. As things stand? It’s literally not worth the time investment for the possible (laugh, yeah) reward.

laokoko.7403:

But just like someone else says. You have to arrive 1 hour early…

This is what needs changing, not the dynamics of the Teq fight.

Okay, again.
Tequatl is doable if everyone comes just 15mn in advance.
Its HARDER, its less comfortable mainly for commanders. Its a rush and its more risky.
But its still very much doable and im the proof.
Ive come a few times 14-20 minutes in advance. Other times maximum 30mn in advance. And I’m a commander there, half of the map arrives after behe (5-10 mn in advance) and it still can be done with 3-6 minutes left on the timer.

This is a challenging boss that needs organization, is really 15-30 minutes in advance too much? Heh..

Just add me if you’are on one of EU servers, I sometimes do the early morning one (4 am GMT+2 thats germany, france etc, 3 am for england). And if Im online 20 minutes before, I probably organize the second or third map.

Even though I know few ppl on raid thats capped 30-40 minutes in advance and I could be taxied to the easy-mode one, I want to do my own raid, which usually fails when Im not there, as others told me… (the one thats not full 5-10mn before it starts)
IMO this game needs more communicative commanders, not just silent tags.

Twinbros.5372:

I’m not even certain why he was buffed to begin with, it was a perfectly fine boss event until he got the god overbuff. Now hes pretty much pointless to try and kill, and more and more people are resolving to not even attempt the event anymore. Somehow I don’t think that’s what you guys had in mind when you have him that overbuff. He does massive damage (which is alright) but takes pretty much no damage from anything. The damage this guy takes needs to be increased by a substantial amount.

Is this a trolling post???
If not, Im sorry I accused you like that

Anyway, most servers do as much damage do tequatl, that it bugs out, starting a new phase before the previous one is over.
This means that the dragon disappears untill the next phase starts, and cant be stunned.
He deals no damage to the zerg, but takes less damage from the zerg.
The raid can still be done successfully, its just a bit more risky.
So if you have a decent zerg, you have to command STOP before the DPS phase ends…
And many, many tequatl raids are done with 6 minutes left on the timer.

Tequatl got pretty easy, and can be done with 1 decent and 1-3 support commanders, if they have a decent turret man and a turret defense.

Please, DON’T nerf it. I enjoy the tiny bit of challenge left in the game.

IMO they are just saying by this:
“Not that many play charr, even less play female charr. Not worth doing, wouldn’t affect our profit.”

Is the male and female tail clipping again?

Anyone having this on EU server? Please send me an email/PM, I would love to check it out on a charr. It will take just a few seconds! Nick Harny ingame.
Thanks in advance

Blizzard removing the RMAH from D3 was a huge surprise to me. They were willing, as a business, to remove a source of income from the game and totally revamp the rewards to drastically increase the quality of the gameplay experience. Part of it was probably to generate hype and increase sales for Reaper of Souls, but still they pretty much restored my faith in them as a company.

I’m not sure Anet can afford to do the same thing though. They aren’t nearly as big as Blizzard, and NCSoft has dominion over them, whereas Blizzard is pretty much free to do what it wants.

activision has dominion over blizzard. I think it all comes down to is does the company want a product that will last for years or do they want a product that makes money in the short term. Blizzard realized that D3 was done for if they didn’t change things and that having something they could sell for the next 10 years like D2 was in their best interest. I don’t think anet cares if gw2 dies in NA/EU as they have china and a new mmo they can work on. So I think they will nickel and dime as much as they can till it dies.

Quick correction: NCSoft has a new mmo to work on, not Anet (if you are thinking of Wowstar). Anet has no control over that, it’s developed by Carbine Studios.

I don’t personally believe Anet is this shallow. I think NCSoft kind of has their hands tied. NCSoft is Korean and Activision is US, so maybe I’m biased but I think that is the reason Blizzard was allowed to make such a drastic change to their game (in addition to Blizzard being much bigger, older, and generally more successful than Anet, not to mention Blizzard has many many more IPs and sources of income than Anet).

I’m scared NCSoft would sooner shut down GW2 than radically restructure its monetization. They already shut down like 3 other MMOs they weren’t satisfied with.

They closed AA, exteel, tabula rasa, city of heroes, Lineage and even more out of US/EU.

No shut down of GW2 anytime soon (soon – 4-5 years). I sincerely believe that this game has at least 8-10 year ahead of it, and Anet has some big plans with it in the future. Its an insanely good concept that can be polished and expanded for a very long time.

Ticket 626466
Hi,
Lares said “After researching the provided information, we will not be able to assist you with accessing this account.”.

I provided the game serial used to activate my account.
Provided my last and current home address (Ive moved and dont remember if I changed it or not).
Login email.
My full name.
My display name.
Character name.

I asked the support whats missing or whats wrong? Still no answer.

Im a bit worried I might not get my account back, since I provided everything needed and your support rejected me without specifying any details?

Im able to provide an ID scan.
Im able to provide last 3 gem card numbers used on my account.
Also several different details about my activity or what/ever.

This cant be true x.x

For others:
I secured my email, removed all authorized connection from GW2 account, then I found out I dont have the old authenticator app anymore. I cant remove it now to re-establish it again.

Can we also fix tail clipping from hard-to-obtain level 80 armor sets please?
So many charr issues. I will never play anything else tho.

Hannelore.8153:

That’s a bit of an exaggeration. It’s true that the OP doesn’t need to play lower level content to level up, but that doesn’t mean he can never play it at all.

All the maps are still accessible and because of down-levelling can be fun to play still because even at level 80 with full exotics you won’t be able to one-shot everything and at least some enemies (veterans and champs especially) can be very challenging.

That’s just not true.
As a full zerg warrior, you one shot everything up to 50. You two shot everything up to 70.
Veteran around lvl 65 takes 2 sec to kill, and a group event champ takes 10 seconds…
Now that’s what I wouldn’t call VERY challenging.

Keyboard macros are forbidden?
They’re allowed in most MMOs if player is present.

Enable AoE Loot —> Spam F during fights --> profit

Take it one step further -> bind AoE to a different key (I did to ‘R’) so you can spam it and not pick up banners, talk to NPC’s, etc…
I don’t know how you can miss drops or waste time “searching” for them with AoE looting as an option.

What if you set it on un-used key like you said, and enabled a macro that would press the button every 0.5 sec non-stop wherever u are?
It could be a key that even windows doesn’t have any shortcut for so it won’t interfere.

Anyone tried this? Does it interrupt your skill cast from time to time or interfere with anything ingame-wise?

+1 from me.
I would like to run different builds, but I dont have the energy to remember them and swap many times a day.
Its a game, not a payed job.
BUT, if the option would be in game, it would be awesome.
2-3 profiles for everybody, extra profiles in shop. Let it come!

Hey guys,

this topic is about partly solved issue. It might help you, and it might help Anet if there’s more ppl with the same problem.

I had the newest ATI drivers (13.12 – release date 12/18/2013) installed.
After a small GW2 patch around mid-March, my whole PC started to crash randomly.
Sometimes after 10 minutes, less frequently even after several hours.
Most crashes (also after short times – 15-50 minutes) were in sPvP matches. But also cities, dungeons and open world.
Suddenly I had balck screen, frozen mouse and a last half second of sound was looping. A moment later, PC restarted.

My config:
ASUS P8Z77-M, i5 3470, 8GB Kingston RAM, GIGABYTE HD 7770 1GB DDR5, SSD OCZ and a Seagate HDD. High quality APU Seasonic, tested.
Running windows 7 64 bit.

Now before I solved the issue I tried almost everything: changed the APU to new high quality one, watched and logged all temperatures and voltages for tons of time, tried benchmarking CPU then GPU then both together, formatted the drive and installed new system – updated, just FW and AV and drivers + GW2 – still crashed.

I was out of options so I tried to change drivers to older ones. I installed a year old AMD GPU drivers, and the crashes are gone.
I had the newest version of drivers for couple of months and it never crashed, but after some March small patch, it went all wrong.

Anyone having the same issues?

Malthurius.6870:

Oh Wow, that actually looks fairly good! I guess it’s just canonical for older charr to tamer?

Oh buddy, I wish I knew what you just said. Can you ask that in a different way? Im not native, thanks!

Charr need no gods!

I agree!

There are small teeth.

+ for GS: skill 3, skill 5, skill 4 – breaks cc, immobilize, cripple, more dmg then other weapons, 5 runs from zerg, 5 is also a finisher
- for GS: can’t move when doing 2, I very often have to cancel it to dodge, it doesn’t really do a lot of dmg at the begining. GS is mostly for cannons or if you play in small groups/alone etc.

+ for Hammer: great CC with specific builds, you can immobilize several opponents in front of you, knock them down, cancel their skills. It’s very good for supporting and shouting builds. Hammer also does have a good combo finisher, it stacks might with some classes.
- for Hammer: less damage, no “runaway” skill. Hammer is mostly good in combination with sword+horn or possibly sword+shield, so you can swap to sword and jump to your target, then slow him with 3 if needed.

So it rly mostly depends on your build. If you wanna play supportive tanky class, go for hammer, you can screw your targets pretty well. Use GS if you wanna be mainly a DD. But basically, having hammer, GS, sword+horn and rifle with you all the time is a must, Change it according to situation, play with it, you will figure out eventually.

I would like to know the status as well. How’s it going?

Nappychappy.7046:

Play 100,000 hours without dying in WvW.
Complete all Jumping puzzles without getting the chest.
Kill Shatterer, Teq, Jormag 500 times each.
Kill 1,000 mobs without looting
Acquire 500g with out a weapon

I can see it now in the patch notes… If we are lucky it will be in January’s patch, then add to it in Feb.

GZ, you have won the Guild Wars 2.

Im not native so I don’t get it :/

Many people feel this way. There are bunch of threads about clipping and other armor issues. I love charr and I’m greatly disappointed as well.

Well they are some kind of beautiful cats (as all cats are beautiful, right?). Look what Anet forums are using as a censored word replacement:
“kitten kitten kittening kitten #8221;

I think running on all four is kittening awesome. I love being charr, I love the way he speaks.
