If they get new smilies with a new forum, shouldn’t they be cat/kitten smilies? =P
No, it won’t mess up the whole thing. Just rename gw2setup.exe to gw2.exe and place it wherever you want to intall the game.
Good luck.
Well, it was officially stated that it would be asked about adding more options for reporting; that was some time ago, and so far, nothing has come of it. /shrug
In the meantime, we just use ‘botting’ as a sort of catch-all. As long as the CS Team investigates, it matters little.
Well, how about that! Might be why they haven’t created the new Path of Fire sub-forum.
Interesting. One can never tell when something that was ‘off the table’ will become not only on the table, but implemented. Makes it difficult to know exactly where things stand.
Whenever the Reward screen states “Select your reward!”, you must make a choice before ‘Accept’ will appear.
Good luck.

Above are some of the official statements about reporting (there are more, but I’m burnt out on searching). The latter are more recent. Somewhere, there is one (or more) specifically addressing the ‘additional report categories-can use “botting” for all’ post. Sorry, I did not find it.
Good luck.

Dang forums…ate my post.
^As for the time…oh, good! I was hoping for Friday morning (PDT), but was afraid it might be available only during the same time period as the Screenshot Contest.
Phew!
Although I saw a rumor stating otherwise (not sure where it came from), the official statement is that there are no plans to update the, or change to another, forum. This one provides, according to the statement, some features not found elsewhere, as it was created specifically for Guild Wars 2.
I’m sure, though, a Path of Fire sub-forum is in the works.
Good luck.
The soundtrack may appear on ArenaNet’s soundcloud page, or parts of it. One could check there after release.
Or, like Heart of Thorns, maybe they will release a vinyl album.
Good luck.
Change gw2setup.exe to gw2.exe and place it wherever you would like to install the game, outside Program Files. It’s sometimes finicky, and doesn’t like Program Files.
If you continue to have issue, you can contact the Tech CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Submit a Ticket’ for assistance. (Responses may be slower than usual due to increased volume.)
Good luck.
Botting is, and has been, used for a plethora of reporting categories. It doesn’t really matter what category is chosen, the report will be investigated.
To further refine the reporting category, contact the CS Team via Support Ticket.
Good luck.
Can I get a response for my ticket please

If you received the near-immediate automated reply, then it’s been acknowledged.
If not, you can read the thread ‘Not Getting Our Emails?’ found in the FAQ Sticky above.
Do note: The CS Team is allowing 1 week to respond due to high volume at this time.
Good luck.
There’s actually a fifth way to get some Ascended Gear: through stories and ‘quests’.
But they stated once that they learned the lesson. (the lesson of HoT, when the players were completely ignored in favor of some obscure commercial schemes).
And yet, this is not a statement that ArenaNet made, but a statement taken from an NCSoft quaterly report meeting.
Patches always run at those speeds or slower. Sometimes, stopping it and re-starting it can change an especially slow download, but not always.
"Problem" with Path of Fire expansion
in Account & Technical Support
Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234
If you are asking if the expansion was given to you at no cost, I would say that is unlikely.
If you use the money, that you know you spent on a purchase, and then the purchase clears, you will be looking at overdraft charges, and possible termination of your account as a fraudulent payment transaction.
In other words, I’d certainly suggest waiting, or, at least, contacting the Billing CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below, not to mention your bank/payment provider.
Good luck.
They said when the game launched that they would never do mounts, and the game itself was built to not need mounts. This changed over time but it remains true, the new maps will have mounts be required which is fine but core tyria does not and never did need mounts.
This is not a true statement. Before launch, the Devs stated that Mounts would not be included at launch. They did not state, never, nor really spoke to it, again.
(Unfortunately, the interview site page’s link no longer works. http://guildwars2.cz/otazky-odpovedi-pro-guildwars2-cz/2/)
You can see the traits/skills on some of the streams from those that have already played the demo(s), so, if not, there’s that.
The Wiki has them listed, as well. (Link above.)
Good luck.
(edited by Inculpatus cedo.9234)
Here’s the information that has been provided:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/a-summer-of-events/
Good luck.
And, sometimes, players give those reasons because the Devs have actually stated that that is why these features aren’t forthcoming. As in the case of splitting up Outfits into separate pieces. Or, allowing Weapons/Backpacks to be dyed. Sometimes, players/posters just don’t have the Dev quotes readily at hand.
On the other hand, sometimes players say rumors or speculation enough times, that it seems to become ‘fact’, as in the case of ArenaNet supposedly stating they would never offer Mounts. Which was untrue; they stated Mounts would not be offered at (GW2) launch, and didn’t discuss the option, again. And now, here we are.
Thus, one must examine each rumor/‘fact’/suggestion/opposition separately, as a blanket statement won’t cover them all.
Good luck.
Doubtful, as those time restrictions, as well as level restrictions, were in place long before there was the option to Play4Free. These restrictions are in place to deter RMTs, and other nefarious goings-on.
Here’s what I found in the Wiki:
Paid accounts (newly created or upgraded from Play4Free accounts) cannot send or receive any mail attachments until 7 days (of real-world) time have passed.

It takes the CS Team some time to make sure to allow access to the proper owner. Due to volume, responses are slower than usual.
If the issue is not resolved today/tomorrow, your friend can make a Play4Free account to experience the content in the Beta Weekend.
Good luck.
You gain Mastery Ranks increase by spending Mastery Points, not by acquiring XP. You do have to acquire XP to fill the Mastery/XP bar to be able to spend the points, but the Rank only increases by spending Mastery Points, and the Rank increases by the number of Mastery Points spent (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, etc.).
Good luck.
You can use a program like Pingplotter to find where the issue lies, then contact the entity most responsible.
You can try a VPN to take a different path to the servers.

According to the recent Dev interviews, I think most of the players’ concerns will be alleviated. The Devs seemed to really try to address the feedback since HoT.
Of course, no matter what, not everyone will be pleased.
The CS Team is allowing up to a week to respond due to increased volume. After a week, you can update your ticket, if so desired.
Good luck.
Can I just ask, why would just a single one of the convenience locations out of all of the available ones (costing the same 1000 gems) have the extremely useful “return to where you came from” feature, and none of the others?
Here’s the Dev statement addressing the topic:
Can we get the same QoL on the other passes?
Benjamin Arnold
Content Programmer
At this point, no. It is actually not possible to do this in lounges that are in open world maps because of how we export character position on map transition.
I don’t think it will point to a Scout you’ve already spoken to, so that may be the issue with that one.
That particular Hero Point has been ‘bugged’ for some time; as you can see it doesn’t even show up on the map.
You could try this link: http://cloudfront.guildwars2.com/client/Gw2Setup.exe
Good luck.
True. I guess I was thinking more of my eventual purchase, and projected that.
I’m sure everyone will, eventually, end up with the same background in Character Select.
And now the Wiki has been updated.
Here’s the latest note:
Ah, you’re absolutely right. Now that I can see the actual item in the store, I can replace the guesswork description with the actual one (and it doesn’t come with a Level-80 Boost, as you pointed out). Thank you for pointing this out!
New system req's, question re: netbook

It shouldn’t make a difference whether PoF is live or not. Thinking about it, though, the Beta Weekend is only in the Crystal Oasis map. Still, the client is the same; it’s already been updated to handle that map. If you can access Core Tyria now on your notebook, it should not change, I would think.
The creator of the page does note that he/she is just guessing, so…
I doubt the upgrade comes with one, else there would be two in the original purchase of Digital Deluxe and 2 or 3 in Ultimate.
It’s a bug that some portion of the forum users encounter. You can access the Support website page via the ‘Support’ link found on any other guildwars2.com page, such as ‘Releases’, ‘Wiki’, ‘Media’, ‘Guildwars2.com’, etc. All links found above.
Good luck.
None with my AMD card. At least, none that I’ve noticed.

It will probably still be able to access Core Tyria, but not the newer maps.
I have a potato computer, and I have no issues in Core Tyria, but a few certain areas in the newest maps can cause some issues for me.
I’m hoping my computer will do ok during the Beta Weekend. You can try yours out then, as well.
Good luck (to both of us…lol).
I don’t know. One suggests possibilities. Those things are all account-wide.
Contact the CS Team for assistance. Use GW2 Efficiency.
Good luck.
Okay, I have yet to purchase Path of Fire and I have the Heart of Thorns Character Select screen.
When asking others if they had the updated ‘Log-in screen’ before purchase of PoF, they may have been thinking of the launcher, as most would.
It will probably change with purchase.
Good luck.

You can pre-purchase anywhere official sans in-game, and then forward your friend the Serial Key that is sent to your email.
You can not log into his/her account and purchase through the Gem Store.

It’s not guaranteed that any CS personnel read the forums at any particular time. You should be able to ask to have your ticket escalated for further review within the ticket.
The Sticky, ‘Tickets for Review’ was removed some time ago.

Due to increased volume, it looks like the window may extend to even 7 days.
You might consider contacting the Billing CS Team, if they have not arrived after 7 days. Do be aware, due to said increased volume, responses are delayed at this time.
Good luck.
I don’t know. It looks like GW2Efficiency isn’t completely accurate with their counts, as it gives duplicate Personal Story Achievement Points (it shows giving you credit for 10 Personal Story Mastery Points, instead of the maximum eight) that we know don’t count. Maybe it’s counting something else inaccurately, as well.
You could try counting the Mastery Points in the in-game Achievements panels, and see what that adds up to.
Good luck.
