Guild Wars 2

Let us build bots to play the game for us? That doesn’t sound like a good idea.

I’ve no idea if the API works with the Gem Store, but if it does, you could ask over in the API sub-forum if someone could create such an app.

Good luck.

Good luck.

I remember a post where the Devs addressed this issue. You can use Google to search.

Good luck.

Or salvage gear you don’t need, and you will likely get a rune (or 53). But, you probably already know that having been here (off and on) for 18 months or so.

Welcome return to Tyria and good luck.

Which one?

The CS Team uses many different points of data to validate ownership. I’m sure there are things only your roommate would know.

Good luck.

That simple? Are you guaranteeing more income if ArenaNet, once again, talks about future plans that may or may not materialize?

I wouldn’t, but then, I don’t have the education nor experience with marketing or running a MMORPG studio.

If a potential buyer reads the forum, they will surely see that new players are given the advice to forego using the L80 Boost. Thus, if said potential buyer follows OP’s advice, they would also follow other players’ advice, and have no need to purchase L80 gear from the Trading Post.

Also, said potential buyers would also read that dropped gear is fine in the first 4 days, that there is no rush to level, that ArenaNet is vigilant about security, discouraging RMT and insuring the health of the economy, and last, but not least, the potential buyers will have seen the other various posts about the new player restrictions.

This post will fall off the front page(s) soon enough, and only those that do research may see it; but those same researching potential buyers will likely access the Knowledge Base or see other threads about this issue long before this particular thread.

Good luck.

I believe they talked about Legendary Armor in the last AMA. You could read the notes on Dulfy, possibly.

Good luck.

If a new (potential) player would check the forums, then they would likely check the Wiki, which provides this information. The forums provide a link to the Wiki, and many, many posts suggest or direct forum-users to the Wiki.

Considering the purchase page warns that part of the purchase package takes 72 hours for delivery, those concerned with limitations might be motivated to check out what all is available when.

As stated above, few post on this forum about the restriction, and when they do it’s mostly to ask if this is working as intended. No one, to my knowledge, has felt humiliated.

Do be aware: the health of the game (measures taken against RM Traders) is most imperative.

Welcome to Tyria, and good luck.

They have. It’s what has changed the way NPCs perform.

Isn’t the point of being stealthed to not able to be seen? Though, being blinded may still allow one to see, I’m not sure what that has to do with someone being stealthed.

I’m not sure the Jumping Puzzles/Vistas in the lower-level areas are any more contortionistic than those in the higher levels (some in Orr come to mind).

As above, try to forget your controller muscle-memory, and just quickly tap the space bar.

Good luck.

Do be aware, it’s not required to jump through a Rift once you’ve opened it, and/or stabilized it. That would kind of defeat the purpose of using a Stabilizer for the Daily Map Events completion. ; )

I don’t use them for travel because a Rift event must be near when I’m ready to travel, not to mention I would have to look up the coordinates because I’ve never memorized them. The only one I might use is the one to Dry Top to try to get the Diving achievement there.

Good luck.

First, suggestions belong in the sub-forum to which they are pertinent. This sub-forum deals with Technical and/or Account Issues. This suggestion would be, probably, best served in General Discussion. You can find many, many threads on this issue.

Second, the Devs have addressed the new AI of the NPCs in Story. You can use Google to find their posts (here or on Reddit).

Good luck.

^Oh, good point! I forgot about that. I’ve suggested it be noted in the Wiki.

It also shows up, for me, in the ‘Detailed Score’ tab of the WvW window. (I think this is what ‘flap #2’ was referencing above, after more investigation.)

Well, though the lead-in was longer, many missed the changes to the acquisition of GoB, as well.

Still, as pointed out by many others, we must be more diligent, I suppose. Lesson learned.

Just logged in (to check) and working fine for me (not on TC).

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘flap #2’; I can access the bonuses by just mousing over the WvW icon.

You might consider a -repair of the client (instructions found in the Knowledge Base accessed via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Search – Repair’).

Good luck.

Try the WvW sub-forum?

Welcome return, and good luck.

^I’ve always loved that post. It should be required reading for all.

You can also try deleting all mail, and picking up all items and Gold from the Trading Post, in case the mail is stuck in que.

Good luck.

If you have yet to use it, then no, anything in account-wide inventory (such as the bank, shared slots, etc.) is retained.

If you encounter an issue, you can contact the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below.

Good luck.

Mystic-forging weapons does not soul-bind them, as far as I know. Equipping them, does.

If you disagree with the requirements, or feel there is an error, you can contact the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link for assistance.

Good luck.

Unlocked is not the same as soul-bound, though. The Achievement specifically states one must soul-bind each Legendary weapon.

Since your question was answered, and now your posts are more about advertising your creation, would this not be better suited to the Community Creations sub-forum?

Good luck.

Do you mean this Achievement:

Legendary Collector 25 Arenanet Points

Soulbind 5 unique Legendary items.

Were Sunrise and Twilight soulbound?

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Explorer

Good luck.

You can also post in the Sticky above: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestions-Please-Bring-Back-these-Gem-Stores-Items

Well, there’s this: http://guildwars2.tumblr.com/post/155766783943/tyrian-travels-masterpost (A link found in the Chapter Six News Blog, for future reference.)

Thanks for the links, but I knew where to find them (see above). =)

Oh! I must get around to reading those stories! =)

Or they might pop up in this March (Madness) sale.

Keep a lookout. Good luck.

Yet, the Devs have stated more than once there are 300+ employees, not to mention various articles.

I doubt that Mike would include the Legal staff, the CS staff, the janitorial staff, the accounting staff, etc., when speaking about Devs working on the expansion or Living World updates.

Odd. I wonder if this is going somewhere, or just more (appreciated, by me, at least) ArenaNet humor.

Not all employees are Devs.

You can contact the Tech CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Submit a Ticket’ for assistance.

Good luck.

Google how to fix ntdll.dll errors. That’s your issue.

Good luck.

And then came to the forums (and elsewhere) and lamented over being unable to handle the content as a new player.

Also, your suggestion above was about the cost of Living World Seasons offered ‘before the next Season was released’. At that time, the bundled Seasons (such as Season Two) are offered in the Gem Store at 20% off. Check it out.

You can take a Screenshot, and as long as you have a Character Name associated with it, I believe, you can contact the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below and report the Guild Name thus.

Good luck.

When RNG doesn’t favor players, there are often threads asking if this or that particular item is bugged. It rarely is, just (bad) luck of the draw.

You could always try completing the Living World Season Two Episodes that award the Dusty Bags of Loot. Perhaps, you will find one in there.

You can contact the CS Team and ask for assistance, but they may just point you back here.

Good luck.

There are other advantages to running the 32-bit client, as that is what I use with no issue, even though I have the 64-bit client installed, and could (and do, very occasionally) run that. Some programs/applications just won’t work with the 64-bit client.

If you use Google, you should find several threads about how to download and install the 32-bit client, if the instructions in the Sticky, or in the Knowledge Base aren’t working.

Good luck.

I swear I wrote something here before, but anyway: reminds me of the waypoint sound, or the sound of the asura computer screens in the home instance where their personal story happens, from the description.

I’d also check if you had a miniature out, or a gyro summoned, or something like that, OP, and see if that is responsible. (Also, legendaries, if you have any. I don’t think they have sound, but since I don’t have them all…

I believe that was a different thread, in a different sub-forum. Though, it’s possible it’s by the same poster.

If that was the case ppl would sell their gems in the tp.

They do. It’s called the Currency Exchange. It’s the portion of the game where gems are sold by players to other players.

To expand what I typed above:

1. Player X gives cash to Anet to get gems. <— Anet profits right here.
2. Player X trades gems to Player Y for gold. <—Anet doesn’t care what happens; they already made profit.
3. Player Y spends gems on things. <—Anet doesn’t care what happens; they already made profit.

I don’t think Zealex really understands how currency exchange works.

This is shown quite plainly when a highly requested item is released. Take when they re-released the bunny ears for example – The value of gems skyrocketed in price because people were buying gems with gold way more than usual and supply of gems was decreasing making the value of them increase.

It’s very basic Supply and Demand.

yes i said that above that when ppl buy gems with gold the ratio of gems to gold also goes down meaning that for x gold you will need more gems compaired to a time where theres no popular release and vice versa correct? My issue with that is that anet will make more profit that way from only ppl that buy gems to turn into gold on a non release date since someone who buys gems to buy stuff directly from the gemstore pays a fixxed price and ppl who exchanged gold for gems for the bunny ears didnt play any real money they indirectly just raised the gems to gold racio right?

Maybe if you think of it this way:

ArenaNet profits from more than one kind of currency.

Player X uses rl cash (a currency) to buy Gems. Player X then sells the Gems to you (through the currency exchange) for your time (which some consider worth rl cash) acquiring Gold. ArenaNet profits from the rl cash, but also profits from a well-populated game (that’s you and others that spend their time (another valuable currency) in-game.

yes but in that system wouldn’t having the lw episodes by putchaseable throight the genstore only make more profit for anet since ppl buy with thems and gold mostly gold gem value goes up ppl exchange gems for gold. And anet makes more money which can go to a more content heavy expac as well as more balance patches changes to game modes etc

No, because changing the Living World content delivery from free (if logged in while active) to purchase-only will cause much bad press and probably lose more income than would be gained. If that’s what you are suggesting.

Besides, I was under the impression you did not believe ArenaNet made any/much profit from players exchanging Gold for Gems (to purchase said Living World releases).

no i suggested they could make lw prchaseable form the gemstore as gem only but ppl explained to me the proccess with which works with facts what you suggest here which is hypothetical sure it would cauz some bad press but thinking again long term this would just put more money into anets hands witch can be used to improve the game and deliver better and more content also they could make it so for the time before the next lw pack releases you can buy the first woth a 20% discount.

It’s already offered at a 20% discount.

I guess if some player(s) could capture 1750 Generators or 2100 Special Objectives in 2 or 3 months, they would have earned (and likely kept) the Titles. Thus, it would be included in the Wiki.

It doesn’t tell you much, but here is what the error code means:

https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Error_code

The GW2 CS Team (Support link above/below) might be able to help with access to Guild Wars.

Good luck.

^If it’s an optional $5/month subscription that only nets one $5 worth of Gems, what’s stopping players from just buying $5 of Gems each month?

I’m afraid I don’t see the incentive, or how it’s any different that what there is already in place.

Done and done. You are welcome. Hope you have a nice day, as well. =)

that anet doesn’t have any kind of testing group we’ve known for years. The game would look very different if they had like a testing realm (or something)

https://www.arena.net/ — no current job openings in the QA department, but they have one. Perhaps you would like to restart your thesis?

I stand corrected:
that anet doesn’t have any kind of testing group that shows up at work we’ve known for years. The game would look very different if they had like a testing realm (or something)

You have no idea about this. Here’s some food for thought.
