Guild Wars 2

Keep it in your bank because you could always change your mind.

Yes, that was the problem, i wanted to know the details so i could link my accounts together, but it seems that you need to contact support for them to do that now anyway.

Technically none of the information i tagged was false.

It is about my gw2 account as i put it under the “Gw1 & 2 account linking” tag.

I just gave up and sent in another ticket this time tagging everything under GW2, seems it’d get more response this time.

So, by your logic then, waiting 53 days to get my account back for a game i still paid for and gave up money while not breaking any of the terms of service agreements or going against any of the rules, is justified?

Thanks for giving me links to things i’ve already read.

Still doesn’t disprove the fact that everything on the GW1 page redirects to both the GW2 forums and the GW2 Support page.

It should be a lower priority, sure, but 53 days priority? No.

I don’t agree with your comment at all, especially not when the Guild wars 1 support page redirects to the GW2 one.

Meaning this forum is now intended for use with both games.

It’s a ticket in response to me not knowing my details and not merging my accounts together.

I’ve received no response other than the initial “We’ve received your ticket” email upon submitting the ticket, and I’ve provided every single bit of detail they’d normally ask for.

Name on card, name on account, last 4 digits of card used to purchase game, cd key, everything.

And i disagree on the game being in maintenance mode seeing as it still gets updates.

I’m a customer, i bought both games, I’m entitled to a response in a short amount of time just as the next person. Tickets should be handled on a first come first server basis (As everyone was lead to believe) but this simply is not the case.

Q: I haven’t heard back from the Support Team in 24 hours (or longer)! Did the Support Team receive my ticket? Should I submit another one?

A: Tickets are addressed in the order in which they are received

^ except they aren’t.

Datamined doesn’t mean complete.

Bathos.6341:

Since shields are almost useless, i have to ask why would you use a shield for both hands? what kind of autoattack could you do with a shield? Throwing it Captain America style? That’d just look stupid in gw2.

“That’d just look stupid”

Yeah, not like we’re shooting unicorns and rainbows at people. /sarcasm

Sorry, but regardless of whether or not the game is Guild wars 1, or Guild wars 2, tickets should be handled in the order they come in, not based on the game.

Putting in a ticket and expecting a week for a reply, only to be made to wait 2 months and counting is absolutely kittening abysmal.

I have now been waiting 53 days.

Top notch support response time.

Terrahero.9358:

You are taking away possible combinations, all to make what I assume is your own gear preference the optimal one.

So you jumped the gun and made an assumption.

I run with full zerker gear, even my roaming set is, you guessed it, full zerker. every single piece of equipment i own is full zerker, the only thing different in each set is the sigil.

Toughness and healing power are both effectively useless, i tried to provide an idea to make them useful, sue me for wanting to make something currently null in the game viable and useful.

Terrahero.9358:

So some professions need to invest a lot into toughness, and others not at all. How is THAT fair?

Agony? My guardian doesn’t need more agony than an Elementalist would need. Why couldn’t these stats work similar to this?

I’ll pick this one out too.

“So I cannot get traits I like, I need to spend my traitpoints acquiring more toughness, and just picking whatever I can from that traitline?”

Sometimes i sacrifice traits and utility slots that i enjoy using because there’s something else that’s more viable in the instance or the encounter coming up, how is this any different to slotting out a piece of gear exactly?

Terrahero.9358:

JoshuaRAWR.4653:

What if toughness and healing power provided a direct percentage bonus and new content/encounters were introduced that made it next to impossible to defeat said encounter without some form of these stats?

For example on armor, you’d no longer see things like “105 toughness” but rather, “2% damage reduction from all sources except conditions”?

So essentially players using Berserkers, Assassins, Rampagers, Sinister, Valkyrie or Carrion cannot do that content?
All just to make two stats a bit more optimal, 6 gear sets need to become unviable.

Well done.

Traits, Food, Accessories, Weapons, why do you have to wear a full set of berserker armor? You can mix and match.

Well done.

Marina Demeretmonde.1064:

Is it really necessary to be rude when someone is expressing an opinion? Saying someone is “babbling” is an overt put-down. You add nothing to the discussion with this kind of behaviour.

Your post didn’t add anything to the discussion either though, nor did this post I’m writing now.

I don’t think the problem is you being in Australia, i think the problem is just Desolation over-all, myself and many other guildies have been encountering random bouts of lag the past few days.

Sorry but this is kittening ridiculous.

I’ve been waiting 50 days now, how much longer am i going to be waiting?

Thought so, I think i’ll throw a ticket in anyway just for good measure.

Back when southsun event was introduced there was an event that involved a large boss at the end, now at the time, this was done poorly, many people were disconnected and unable to claim the final reward.

i’ve just learned that many people contacted support and were given the rewards they would’ve originally earned.

Now, this happened well over a year ago, but if i were to contact support, would i still be eligible for the reward i was conned out of due to the poor stability of the game at the time?

This is the event i am talking about:

47 days now, this is atrociously bad.

Tickets should be handled in the order they’re received, regardless of what game they’re for.

There is no fear involved in running dungeons at all.

From the sounds of it, you joined multiple dungeon groups that explicitly stated what they were after, and you joined them when not filling the requirements the group was after.

Many times i start a dungeon group with the tag “anyone welcome”, and these groups fill up instantly with people from all areas of the game, people with 10k+ AP running condi builds to people with 1k+ ap still gearing up and wearing rares, i never have any problems with these types of dungeons because I know what to expect in the dungeon run.

I’ve had hundreds of people join my dungeon groups and say “First time here, hope it’s not a problem” too, and i never have any problems with them, 9 times out of 10 these players perform better than those whom you’d expect to be experienced.

BUT. There are times when I just want a quick clean run, and I’ll ask for things like “Experienced players only, 4k+ ap” is it wrong of me? No, i don’t think so, 4k+ ap to me shows you have experience with the game and are familiar with the mechanics, so to me, that leads me to believe I’ll get a smooth run, this isn’t always the case, but it’s a method.
Now, if you join this group with less than 4k AP, you can bet I’m going to kick you, because you didn’t read.

I’ve been waiting 46 days, have fun.

Are there any builds capable of rivaling the DPS of the typical dungeon/meta build that utilizes a torch in its rotation?

I’m curious as I’m looking to use the torch a bit just for a little bit of difference in gameplay, but I’m unsure on how i should be building, every build i can come up ends with me wanting to slot a greatsword & focus in, as I’m just too used to them.

Any ideas?

You just need to realise that x build will not be 100% effective against x build.

That’s just how it is, there will always be builds that counter another, guardians shine in group play more so than any other class in my opinion.

Definitely capable in 1v1 situations, but you can be outplayed by quite a few classes if the person behind the wheel knows what they’re doing, for example a medi guardians burst is insanely predictable, probably the easiest to predict burst in the game.

I’m always using mine, if you’re not, you’re not utilizing your guardian to it’s full potential or you’re running insanely easy content that can be beat by just mashing 1.

I run virtue of Justice with the might & blind on use, alongside the refresh on kill, I spam this one, because it’s going to be up very soon.

Virtue of resolve I try to keep off cooldown as much as possible for my own personal little bit of regen, but it has been handy in keeping myself and group members up in a pinch, even untraited it’s still useful.

Virtue of courage, it’s an Aegis on demand, what’s not to like? I use it to either get the aegis buff for the 20% damage bonus when i’ve already relinquished my other Aegis generating sources, or to grant my party a “1 time kitten up” buff.

I plan on maining a revenant in HoT, and i already know I’m going to miss my virtues.

Someone was probably bored one day and just wanted to throw it up on the site, i often mess about with calculators when I’m bored.

Why? This isn’t WoW, there are no world first 80 revenant achievements, there’s no need for the class to not be able to use Tomes for a while.

This is the risk you run with attempting to sell dungeon paths.

… Still waiting.

When you posted my ticket (among many others) a few days ago, i was expecting a reply within a few days, however I’m still waiting.

It has now been 44 days.

They don’t even need to add anything to SAB, just give us what’s already there.

Has no one else noticed that at 3:04 in the Commando trailer the SAB Theme plays?

I want a golf club for my guardian so when i use Banish, i can scream FORE!

The problem though is that there can be 2vs1 situations that are possible for the 1 to overcome, but if you throw in a 5 second stun into the mix that allows 1 of the 2 to just wail on the target for free, that’s just too much in my opinion.

Join ArenaNet at PAX East 2015 (booth #5116) and EGX Rezzed (East Mall 3) for the first-ever playable demo of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™. Meet developers, talk with other fans, and be among the first to experience the first expansion for Guild Wars 2.

Yup, got that email on the 5/3, cheers for the Information Chista, answered my question perfectly, at least i know I am signed up to the newsletter, shame they’re not pushing out confirmation emails just so people are aware that it worked.

Honestly I’d say it’s fine, it’s just a matter of the people you group with.

It would be nice for dungeons to require a more varied group set-up in gameplay (example being, conditions are strong in one path, weak in another, berserker is heavily punished in one path, strong in another) but i can’t see it happening.

See, the thing is though, a 5 second stun is just dumb regardless of how it’s put into the game, Moa is already stupid and you can fight back somewhat while under the effects of that.

Ice of Dragons.1637:

They used to be a lot more than 8 professions in gw2 before the release.

No there wasn’t.

Yes there was: http://tap-repeatedly.com/2011/06/exclusive-interview-arenanets-jon-peters-and-jonathan-sharp/

I didn’t really read that as classes, but more “potential classes we wanted for the archetypes” but i stand corrected.

You basically want a knockdown or a stun, but renamed with a different animation?

Ice of Dragons.1637:

They used to be a lot more than 8 professions in gw2 before the release.

No there wasn’t.

A problem with using new players though is also the fact that they may not be experienced enough with the game, thus content that is not actually challenging will be seen as such because they’re not aware how certain mechanics within the game actually work.

I guess either way it’s a lose/lose situation, there’s always going to be someone that provides negative feedback where it’s not necessary.

It’s unconfirmed, but I’m fairly positive we’ll be able to use swords and stave’s as a Revenant, given that Rytlock uses them in the trailer, but this could just be an “NPC perk” like Marjories ability to use greatswords currently.

Anyone who’s account has been playing since the 3 day headstart deserves immediate access to the beta tbh.

New accounts shouldn’t be allowed access to HoT at all because these players do not understand the game well enough to give feedback as to what does and doesn’t work (Sorry new guys, it’s true).

So, player X that started on 3-day head start but took a break for two years and just got back should be guaranteed access, while player Y that started 3 months ago but have been playing daily since should not be allowed in at all?

playing SINCE 3 day headstart, not “joined at headstart then quit”

Albeit it’s a demo.

New accounts shouldn’t be allowed access to HoT at all because these players do not understand the game well enough to give feedback as to what does and doesn’t work (Sorry new guys, it’s true).

I can see it being £29.99 and £39.99 for the deluxe edition, if they pop out a collectors edition, maybe £49.99 or £59.99.

Sword, Hammer, Axe offhand, Mace mainhand, Staff.

That’s 5 weapons to choose from, how many more do you want?

Go nuts.

It seems that this signup for the HoT newsletter is STILL bugged.

I’ve repeatedly been signing up to this thing ever since it was first available, and I still am not receiving any emails regarding HoT, not even a confirmation email.

I sign up, i get told “bla bla thanks for signing up” but nothing, i receive no emails at all.

What gives?
