Guild Wars 2

If a server is full it is full and you will have to wait for an opening. There is nothing anyone from Anet can do about that. You can still play with your friends on other servers aside from WvW.

@Hybrid.7059
I need to log in onto my email to authorize log-in attempt.
Wow it’s so hard… to understand?

Your IP must change a lot for that to happen. Having to authorize login from different IPs is there for the security of your account.

You friend will have to continue discussion with support if they want help with the issue. There is nothing you can do for your friend by posting here for them.

This forum is full of them.

Oxidia.8103:

I strongly resent people who ping precursor drops on world boss eventa. I’m jelous besause in 2 years of playing the most expensive item that dropped to me is a hammer worth 20 gold.

Most people that ping precursor drops at world bosses are just pasting the code in chat. Either that or almost every time I do a world boss someone gets a precursor.

You can’t equip 2 of the same legendary on one toon. Just like you can’t have the same Ascended trinket, weapon on the same character.

You can indeed dual wield legendary weapons, daggers, pistols, swords, axes as long as the profession allows it. For example a thief can dual wield legendary daggers as long as they have two of them.

Well with Ascended Trinkets, you cannot use two of the same one.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/suggestions/Ascended-Trinkets-for-newbies

My friend did not get the stats from his 2nd Legendary of the same one, maybe it was a bug.

We are not talking about ascended trinkets we are talking about dual legendaries. Ascended trinkets do indeed carry the unique label.

The old ones can be made account bound as well. Put them in your inventory and talk to the Black Lion Weapons Specialist.

Umm.. You don’t compete for resources, kills, or loot. That is a great thing about this game.

Plus they just did the mega server thing to merge servers to make places more populated. No need for more servers.

I never understood the obsession with player housing. What the hell are you supposed to do in it? Just afk?

Since you’re only interested in features that do stuff, I’m guessing it you’ve never used a dye or transmutation charge to change your character’s appearance.

Dye changes and transmutations go with the character every where they go. A player house is some static place. Not the same thing.

It is exactly the same. You’re poopooing one system that offers no tangible benefit while defending another that does likewise. And for the record, the bonuses provided by my furniture in Final Fantasy XI had more of an actual impact on the game than your cosmetic dyes and skins do. So there’s that. Yeah…

We are not talking about FFXI.

On to another issue. I don’t think Anet wants people standing around in houses and what not. They go out of their way to funnel people out into the world. For example:

John Smith.4610:

Champ trains were a mix of things. I said before in my blog post that we wanted to redistribute content participation a bit and that was definitely true. Do they add input into the economy/money supply? Sure, definitely, how could they not, but that is by no means the entirety of the reason for the change.

Second question:
With stuff like this I try to intervene on a more macro scale and provide input, but we have experts in design that are much more suited to creating guiding events and objects of that sort.

If the people against mounts, including myself, stopped replying to this thread it would die off.

Fluffball.8307:

Exactly…

I’m not a big fan of player housing simply because I don’t care to see resources dedicated to it at this time when there is so much more that needs to be done. While some may like player housing I don’t see the point. So you get your little house, decorate it, basically play a dumbed down version of The Sims, then what?

> Whisper to someone on friends list

“Hey buddy, come check out my house.”

“I’m a bit busy working on my legendary, maybe later”

“No really come check it out.”

“Sigh, okay”

> Friend walks in and looks around

“Cool story bro. I have to go now.”

> Player with the house stands around looking at his beds and pictures or whatever, then what?

If it were a separate team working on it or there were not such a need for other things like new dungeons, new permanent zones, new PvP maps and so forth, then go for it. Until then I wouldn’t like to see it a priority because IMO housing has very limited use and even less long term value.

bulladin.7340:

So for anyone reading this Support team will not return “GIFTED ITEMS”. I had my friend make a ticket since the above post said that they will not return the sickle as I did not buy it. Now I did say I got my sickle back in the post. But it wasn’t due to support team. My client apparently had corrupted files. So after a update. My char engi some how magically had a sickle in his equipment slot. Also when my friend made a ticket about the lost sickle. Support team just shove her aside and said they can’t not discuss details about it with her. Even though she is the one who pay for the item.

I hope the support team changes how it functions in the future.

So wait a minute. The sickle that disappeared was not Anet’s fault but your corrupted file? And you are upset they could not replace or would not replace due to a problem on your end? Also you are unhappy that support would not discuss your account issues with someone else? Odd… Personally, I’m glad to hear support won’t discuss my issues with someone else, account security and all.

I hate looking at silly plushy backpacks. Are they needed? Hardly. Do they fit in with “lore”? Please.

And yet, upon hearing they were to be added to the game, I didn’t storm the forums to spew forth drama and hyperobole at those who were in favor of them.

Just sayin’.

Yet you could have voiced your opinion of plushy backpacks on the forums if you wanted to. Just like the people that would rather not see mounts can do so here.

Just sayin’

Yes, you’re right, I could have. However, I found that it wasn’t such a big deal that I had to go and try to ruin other people’s fun when it really didn’t affect me all that much. I simply avert my eyes and apply tolerance.

Problem solved.

Ahh but you see, I feel, and it is my opinion that seeing a bunch of players all over my screen on mounts would affect me. To me it would be a big deal because the addition of mounts would be very visually unappealing to me. I don’t care to see them so I am voicing my opinion in this thread to say so. It has nothing to do with trying to “ruin other people’s fun” but everything to do with my personal preference.

I agree, I don’t care for plushy backpacks either, but they are already in game and not much I can do about it. However, that doesn’t mean they should add more things I don’t like just because one annoyance already exists.

sazaw.1347:

Because some ppl just don’t like to see them.
Personally it’ll be torture for me to see a lot of mounts jumping up and down blocking my view and annoying my eyes.

This is why myself and I imagine many others don’t want mounts. For me, I have yet to see and MMO where I didn’t think that mounts looked, well, silly. In a game highly based on visuals with a beautiful world I would rather not see a bunch of players trotting around on mounts all over my screen. The pro-mount group always ignores this side of the argument or just counters with, “No they are cool.” To many, including myself they are not cool. They are visually unappealing.

That said, if there were an option to toggle off viewing mounts and mounts were only cosmetic, I’d probably be okay with that since I would not have to see them.

I’m still under 5k achievements and have no problems getting a group for a dungeon. I just advert my group, “All welcome,” and within minutes it is filled. Then we have fun running the dungeon.

One big mistake ANet made was allowing the nominees to post here asking for votes. That goes for all of them that posted here for votes.

This forum should not have been used for requesting or lobbying for votes..

You will need to contact support. Top of the page, then “Submit a Request” located top right of the screen.

No one can help you here with your lost gold. I suggest you follow the support link, top of the page and then “submit a request” top right of that page.

So the votes must be in. Who won the popularity contest?

This is why Gold needs to be removed.

You post this same thing in all the duel threads. Just because something is in place that gives an opportunity for people to pester others doesn’t mean they should add another way to do so.

JustTrogdor.7892:

The tools were originally soul bound on equip. Anet made a compromise by making them account bound thus taking a loss in tools sold. Those who had multiple of the same tool got gem refunds. I think the current system is fair. If you want the connivence of having tools on alts without going to the bank then buy multiple tools. There has to be a line drawn some place. Anet is not a not for profit organization.

They’d probably sell a lot more infinite tools if all your characters could use them, because the number of people who’d buy one set of them is probably a lot higher than the number of whales who’d obsessively buy one set for every character.

People said the same thing, “They would sell more if they were account bound instead of soul bound,” back when they were soul bound. A lot of people bought them when they were soul bound for multiple characters, myself included. There was a flood of refund requests for duplicates when they went account bound. Anet was cool enough to honor that. My point is the way it is now with them being account bound was a compromise. I wouldn’t expect it to change beyond this. The current system IMO is more than fair.

See what you did OP? You made a thread about not posting about mounts into yet another mount thread.

From my experience they don’t update us here on their official forum. However they do on 3rd party sites like Twitter, and a tweet on their page from an hour ago says they are working on it.

Parazac.1297:

He didn’t accuse any specific player, guild or server of cheating. He didn’t name anyone, any guild or server. He brought to issue that some people (without naming them) were griefing guild puzzles.

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

Well, I do miss TC. The quality of /map chat has really gone down for me.

Yeah I moved to TC due to the quality of chat and the low level of trolls and people acting like children. Even when people showed up in TC and caused problems they were quickly ostracized. Now with mega server I get /map chat full of trolls and guild spam. Thanks mega server!

Braxton.3926:

I made a typo.

I didn’t mean EQ2’s Mac OSX version. I meant GW2’s. Sorry.

EQ2 does NOT have a Mac Client.

I had meant that WoW has a native OSX cversion while GW2’s Mac OSX version is using a Cider wrapper.

I will probably have to dial down my graphics, for sure.

If it just runs too crappy I’ll simply just stop playing.

It works well on my iMac but it has an NVIDIA card. On my 2012 MBP with Intel HD Graphics 4000 it works fair, I just have to dial down some settings. Disclaimer, I have not tried a lot of large scale group stuff like WvW zergs on my MBP.

Braxton.3926:

Hopefully will like it, save me my subscription fee for WoW, but at the same time… WoW has a native OSX version while EQ2’s Mac OSX version is using a Cider wrapper…

Intel graphics on my MacBook may be a problem, not sure yet :-/

Able to run max quality on WoW.

The GW2 Mac Beta client is a wrapper as well. With your Intel graphics on your MB you might have to dial down the graphics settings a bit.

This a great idea. It would also help single server guilds recruit.

No thanks. Guild spam in /map is bad enough as it is, even worse since mega servers.

How would the idea make things worse, exactly?

I didn’t say it would make things worse. I said no thanks to another channel for guild spam. I said mega servers made guild spam worse. Ryan was suggesting it would be a good way to guild recruit, in other words guild spam the channel. Sure I could keep the channel off and probably would since I don’t WvW. I’m just tired of, “Join us, PvX guild, the best ever ever, you will love us, have chat and stuff and just want you for guild influence,. Join now!” every 10 seconds in /map. Mega servers have increased this guild spam 10 fold. A /team channel should not be a place to guild spam. To that I say , “No thank you”.
