I’m pretty sure that’s Ehmry Bay because I saw that as well XD

It was in the Crystal Desert server lol, now everyone knows.

Are you sure about him being from Crystal Desert? I recognize you standing next to me when I saw him. We were in overflow at the time. Love how you captured that moment with that face. lol

Wait! What? Really? Man, I hope so! I have had so much fun with the sPvP event, the waiting area of the JP and beaning that cheating little kitten baby quaggon Snowball Fighter at the LA fountain that that just sounds to awesome not to have.

I was just wondering that myself. I cannot seem to discern any noticeable difference between the the first top two physiques of the male norn during creation. Not sure if it’s just me or if it’s just so small as to be non-existent.

To Mr. Josh Foreman,

I just wanted to add my voice in saying that I thought your work and that of the rest of the team was incredible for this Halloween event. Your responses in this thread are just another amazing part of you and your team as well. I look forward to you building on to this event for next year, even if it’s just a little bit. Please don’t be like some previous MMORPGs and just be satisfied with the same old thing each year. I think it would be neat if a new seal got broken each year resulting in more happenings across the lands and perhaps in the 5th or last year of the game they all are broken and it concludes into a major event, but that may just be me.

That was wrong in so many ways, yet it’s hard to have any sympathy for the those that watched you do it to others and then ran up to it anyway.

As for those claiming no death, it’s pretty freaking obvious, you didn’t watch the video. I actually consider you people bigger jerks than Farzo.

p.s. Sorry about the jerk comment Farzo but can you really deny it? That said, I totally laughed at this.

No, really, combine some threads Arena.Net. To the community, use the K I T T E N search option,

That kitten filter sure is smart!

I know, right?

Solution for “fat” races, turn everyone who enters into human skeletons. Then everyone is on equal playing field.

Whatever they are, it would be really nice if people could keep it to one thread. Seriously, how many threads do we actually need on “the clock tower sucks” or “the chest suck, stop stealing my money”? Arena.Net, I go to reddit and guildwars2guru and see many threads claiming that you deleted their negative thread, yet I come here and that’s 90% percent (actual number unknown but probably pretty close) of what I see. Worse, it’s not even multiple complaints in most cases, it’s just ……“people”, who think that they have original thoughts and therefore “deserve” their own thread. Have you fired your moderators or have they given up? Hell, I’m looking for a job, hire me. I’d love to be the Zarham (not sure if that’s the correct spelling or even the Blizzard moderator that seems to anger the minority community of the forums with his witty and sarcastic comments) of Arena.Net.

Tips & FYI's for Guild Leaders

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Ian Smith.8690

Ian Smith.8690

Anyone in the leader rank (or whatever a guild has set their highest rank name to) has to change their own rank to lower it. Members cannot change the ranks of people in the same rank as them.

I was afraid of that. So if a Leader ranked player is hacked then the guild has no recourse for protecting itself? Will we be able to petition for recovery or are we out of luck? And what good will that do if Arena.Net will not change the rank of a player when petitioned? Something I’ve done.

For the future, I suggest that there be a confirmation pop-up when setting someone to the Leader rank.

How does the creator of a guild lower the rank of someone who has been put to Leader Rank? I did it by mistake but I’m currently afraid that that person has quit the game and will be handing off his account to another person, someone I don’t know and don’t trust.

salvaging kits

in Suggestions

Posted by: Ian Smith.8690

Meh, I made the 250 kit last night. Cost me 68 silver for the 250 gems and about another 24 for the kits. Which is still way cheaper than buying the 25 use kits multiple times to equal 250 uses. This may change in the future depending on the gem to gold market. I was short on karma at the time or I would have just used that to buy the kits from the Master Weapon-smith vendor/teacher in Lion’s Arch. Though, I only use the good kit for high end items or if I want to keep using the same materials for crafting. Any other non-rare+ items are vendor-ed and I use the crude kit on scraps. I seem to make a lot more money that way.
Those are the tips I have come across concerning kit usage. That said, I am mystified by why we can’t stack kits and gathering tools to 250 like most other stack-able items. Seems like it shouldn’t matter if we want to buy a lot of tools at once. We still pay the same price whether bought in one trip or multiple trips.

Charge, Savage Leap, Bull's Charge auto targeting to closest enemy?

in Warrior

Posted by: Ian Smith.8690

Ian Smith.8690

Why must our charge abilities auto-target to the closest enemy when we have nothing targeted? This is quite annoying when you are trying to use these abilities for traveling across terrain or retreating/getting away in WvW /Spvp. It’s pretty hard to utilize the charge skills to their full potential when they can work against you. It is possible to make an option to turn off auto targeting when an enemy is not selected/in range?

Yes, it’s in your game options. Before making a post, you may actually want to check for things in-game or ask people in-game about it. There is no reason for this post to exist.

Quit Gw2 because of crashes. Have you quit?

Caedmon, don’t be a jerk.
The guy deserves to play this game and hundreds are on the same boat as him, like myself. Just because we are a minority doesn’t mean we aren’t important.

Wy am i a jerk when i was being serious ? If thousands of players are playing with NO crashes,then why isnt it possible that there is something wrong with your hardware,ISP ,connection ? Dont be so quick to rule out this possibility.Who said i dont think he deserves to play ? Your totally misunderstanding my point.

Fine, something is wrong with my PC. I’m willing to accept that, but what is it? I had none of these connection issues during the betas or stress test. So why now? One of their suggestions is to open four TCP ports. Were those ports not used during the betas, because it didn’t seem to be a problem then. Said to remove our various protection software. That didn’t fix it, had that on during the betas too and there was no issue then. So what changed? I recently had my computer checked out, cost me $75 to be told that nothing was wrong just needs tad more space yet isn’t overheating even at present. So hardware wise everything is fine and unchanged. Only new software is this game. See where this is going? Only one change has happened, the game. If it’s some incompatibility, so be it, but tell me what it is. Yes, at this point I do expect that from Arena.Net, and I expect them to tell me how to fix it. I have three friends playing the game and they have no issue, so yeah, it does make sense that maybe part of the issue is with my PC, but considering my pc didn’t change during the time of the betas up through the launch, it’s fairly reasonable to assume that part of the issue is also something Arena.Net has changed.

error code 7:11:3:189:101

Ian Smith.8690

I have random disconnects. Seems to happen whether I’m in overflow or home server. Happens a lot when I use waypoints or Asuran Gates as well. Tried the /80 tip but just seem to happen faster. Not sure how to open ports and I can’t seem to get rid of McAfee due to administration rights, even though I’m the only existing profile on the dang computer. Thank you for any help.

Update: Since I lack a great deal of computer literacy, I decided to go with what I know. Some people, here and other discussions, mentioned they seem to have trouble with the latest GPU driver, so I backed up one from 306.02 to 304.79. I have been playing now for about seven hours with only a disconnect here and there, three I think, maybe 4 but no more. Was too engrossed playing to keep count, sorry. Now, I don’t know that that is what fixed things or if Arena.Net did something, or if it really is even fixed but it’s a thought for all those who have updated to the latest beta driver to consider. For reference My GPU is a GeForce GTS 450 for desktop. And no, I woudn’t think a driver has anything to do with disconnecting constantly but you know what, PCs are complicated =^..^=. Along with this I’m including another -diag. Not sure it will show anything changed or not but figure it doesn’t hurt.

Update 2: As of 11:00 p.m. CST, the disconnects are back. Over the last hour I have DCd 5 times with the last time not letting me play longer than 2 minutes. Calling it a night. Here is another -diag. Let me know if you need anything else. If there is anything I can do on my end to help fix this, please let me know.
