Not only that, but most of those issues (and responses) no longer even apply. If you have an issue with your account, contact the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link. You should receive the automated response almost immediately, and a personal response within a few hours to a few days.

Server disconnecting is out of control

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Have you used tools to determine the cause of you disconnecting? Because it is not playerbase-wide. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been disconnected in the past 5 years.

It’s best to use something like ping-plotter and show the results to the Tech CS Team via a Support Ticket; then they may assist you.

Good luck.

Fractal players look better

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Inculpatus cedo.9234

I’m wondering how one determines the elaborately, well-dressed players partake of Fractals.

Does a survey?
Hangs out in the Fractal Lobby, so has a select-only playerbase to observe?
Considers players with the Fractal Backpack well-dressed?
What?

Just curious.

Most boring (time-gated) "quest" ever.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Well, I guess those players that do the ‘Dailies’ that include the Renown Hearts in those newer maps are at an advantage, then. Now they are rewarded with more than the Daily Chest; they are working toward another reward.

As before, if one finds it too ‘boring’, one does not need to complete the ‘quest’ in 16 days. Spend a year doing a Renown Heart 16 times. Spend 2 years. I’m sure I’ve done some of the Renown Hearts in this game more than 16 times with all my characters. Even just with one character. There’s no inherent rush, other than impatience.

I will probably finish this ‘quest’ with my guildie. He only plays on Fridays and Saturdays for a couple of hours. Thus, it will take us many months to complete. No biggie.

Good luck.

The reason(s) are all those posted when it was first announced there would be the opportunity to join multiple guilds.

One of those reasons is some feel it waters down guilds; less opportunity to be ‘loyal’, etc. There’s always a reason to feel some particular feature of the game is unsuitable for someone.

What would be your idea to keep players in a particular map for a couple of weeks without repeating content?

repeating content =/= achievements telling you to do 64 x the same starter area hearts.
HoT maps managed to keep players busy completely without heart quests. There’s no way that these types of achievements are the only possibility to keep the players in the map. Just think of Silverwastes, people played this map for a long time just because the meta-event was fun and rewarding.

If they have problems to keep people playing in the new maps they didn’t plan the current season properly. No one told them to design tons of generic maps that have almost no other purpose than farming blood rubys, petrified wood, jade shards, winterberries and druid runestones.

I am unsure; is your idea a copy of launch Heart of Thorns maps? I thought players weren’t happy with the original Heart of Thorns maps; at least, there were a lot of threads full of laments regarding those maps.

I don’t know, maybe the Devs tried to come up with something different than those maps to try to placate the playerbase. /shrug

Regardless, no matter what the Devs do, someone won’t be pleased.

Did you wait 24 hours between gatherings? Did you take a different character into the maps to gather? Did you hit the Daily cap on gathering the materials?

At least there’s guaranteed progression. Could be RNG like some certain Spoons that can take forever to drop.

What would be your idea to keep players in a particular map for a couple of weeks without repeating content?

One thought: Don’t try to attain the backpack in just 16 days. Spread it out over 2 or 3 months so it does not seem quite so repetitive.

Pro-tip: Never try key-running.

Good luck.

Why is it called 'Guild Wars 2'?

It’s called Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns now. Let’s be factual.

Is there a Guild Wars 1 Forum?

Inculpatus cedo.9234

I, too, was sure ArenaNet said that this forum was the first official ArenaNet forum. There was an official Support site for Guild Wars, but I don’t think there was an official forum.

Here’s what the Wiki has to say about player feedback:

ArenaNet uses the wiki to give users a possibility to get into contact with the developers regarding various issues:

https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/ArenaNet#Player_feedback

I think if there were any official ArenaNet forums, they would be listed there.

Sylvari gravity issues

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

It’s a bug that only happens once in a blue moon to a character. It’s not specific to Sylvari. It usually clears itself up in a short time, but you can always try a -repair of the client, if it persists.

Good luck.

In China, don't have gw2 Chinese Wiki

Welcome to the official Guild Wars 2 Wiki, the comprehensive reference written and maintained by the players. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page

I’m afraid the English, French and Spanish players would likely have a hard time creating and maintaining a Chinese Wiki. You will need to appeal to your own community.

Incredibly slow download speed

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

Speedtest doesn’t tell you anything about connecting to an ArenaNet server, just so you know.

That said, it can take awhile to download the game, and/or patches. It can depend on the file, the time, the amount of players downloading, etc. Your ISP may be throttling your download speed; you can speak to them, as well.

You can just leave it, or start it, and stop it; it will pick up where it left off if you stop the download.

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.

You would need to post on the Chinese forums, as your publisher, Kongzhong, or something handles your game’s chinese implementation, not ArenaNet. Your community would have to create a Wiki, again not something ArenaNet does.

What is truly wrong with this game

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

As for the ‘bug’ with the NPCs in the Labyrinth, that was not so much a bug, as a deliberate change with NPCs in all instances. If you knew the history of it, you’d know it wasn’t 33 months, as there wasn’t an issue before the change.

Also, one is never going to be able to create a map that can be tested for every single possible terrain issue before its release, unless you want to wait for 10, 20, 30 years for new content.

[Poll] Which looks more legendary to you?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

I did read the entire post. I think they both look unappealing, thus I don’t really have an opinion on which looks more ‘Legendary’. I’m sure some of the playerbase prefers A, some prefers B, and the rest, like me, prefer neither.

Plus, the screenshots are of poor quality, so it’s not easy to make a determination, even if one was inclined to.

Good luck.

No, they do count as Daily Map events; or, unless recently changed, they did. I would certainly never use a Rift Stabilizer to travel to a map. That would take much longer.

Making a free 2nd account to link with GW1

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Inculpatus cedo.9234

Inculpatus cedo.9234

The OP stated they had five Guild Wars (One) accounts, and was thinking of linking a new GW2 account to one of their secondary GW1 accounts.

Once linked, the GW1 account will change its log-in information to that of the GW2 account it is linked to. Players in the past had difficulty using the old GW1 email address when creating a new GW2 account, as the address would cause an error: ‘Email Address already in Use’. If that has changed, I am unaware.

Good luck.

I just get the Stabilizer on as many characters as I play relatively often, as the Stabilizer is great for Daily Map events.

Otherwise, I doubt it makes a difference. (It’s probably account-wide, as far as story goes, like the other Current Events.)

Please, return to old, classic designs!

Rather than 14th century Europe plus 250 years, it may be more like an advanced civilization integrating with a less-advanced one, and the results 250 years later. Think Native Americans and the Europeans that settled in the Americas. Quite the influence, I believe.

The Asura weren’t around in Prophesies, Factions, Nightfall, but after being chased to the surface in EotN, and then influencing the above-ground population, the result, 250 years later, is what we see now.

I like the Guild Wars universe…then and now.
