Guild Wars 2

You can bind it to any key you want just like you bind other keys. Open your in game options tab and go to key bindings it will show what key it is. I forget what the default is because I bound mine to the “home” key a long time ago. I use a full sized keyboard on my iMac.

I’m sorry… I have been following this forum the last few weeks and I do wonder if the GW2 email list got compromised. The number of hacked posts here has been the most I have seen since I started playing over a year ago. I wonder how these hackers targeting GW2 accounts happened to find GW2 player’s emails out of the several hundred million emails out there. I mean if you are going to hack GW2 accounts you need to have a email list. I don’t think GW2 hackers just targeted every email on the internet in hope of getting a positive.

I hope I’m wrong but something seems off in this forum recently with all the hack problems reported.

This April 11th sticky and suddenly we have several “I got hacked” posts here (many of which were closed) in the last month.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Account-Security-What-you-need-to-know/

I’m sure I’ll get hell for this but something seems off. I think I stated what others were thinking as well and afraid to talk about.

JCROY.5730:

Loved the C64..cassette tape anyone? XD

Had a cassette drive but on my VIC-20. I would come home from school, start loading the game via the drive, go watch TV for about an hour and if I was lucky it loaded. About 6 times out of 10 it didn’t. People complain about 30 second loading screens in GW2 LOL.

I was that kid that went to Radio Shack in the mall, back when they were a thing and going to the mall was a thing, and programed my name in BASIC to scroll on the display computer they had. I played Zork, all text and imagination.

Without disclosing my age I think that dates me enough.

Sorry given the title of the thread I couldn’t resist this Seinfeld reference.

Awesome thanks, I’d work harder for that helm then I would for a legendary.

The helm isn’t that mind blowing. Here it is on my Charr. It looks more goofy on Humans, Norn and Asura

I don’t know if anyone knows for sure but I would be willing to guess that they will be achievable again. If the Four Winds is like it was they should be.

Leave it to this forum to turn a thread about pictures from a GW2 festival in China into a debate on cannibalism. GG, LOL.

This sentence hurts my brain. I can usually extrapolate the meaning from poorly constructed sentences, but this? Can you please clarify?

I think he was trying to say that nobody goes to other zones, which is not true. (i hope i got it right lol….harder to figure that out than reading ancient forgotten lang.)

No it is an Internet term. I think he is taking a jab at the OP’s English.

Personally, i have felt like i’ve been able to refine my argument after hearing the same tired lines about harassment repeated constantly.

Yeah that is why you got a few day forum vacation LOL.

pls increase the chance to get a precursor xD

+1 on that screen cap LOL

The same old stuff over and over with almost the same people saying the same thing over an over. Some of us will never agree but is it worth it to say so over and over again? Do you think Anet is really keyed in on this thread to see who get’s the last word? I doubt it. Sometimes it is best to just let go….

Well I’m only interested to see the results because a lot of community members spent gold to compete. I thought there would have been an announcement here as to the winner by now from the person that hosted the contest. As well, I thought the winner would have posted as well once they received the sword.

GuzziHero.2467:

Skye posted the winner on April 9th… would have thought Homitu would have posted by now if he had received it.

That’s odd since Skye closed the contest on the 14th of April.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Skye-s-Trading-Post-Challenge-IRL-Fellblade/page/2#post3896443

I would have thought he announced the winner here.

GuzziHero.2467:

UPDATE: The Contest is now over! Congratulations to Homitu.7216!

http://heroicreplicas.com/ (just read in in the news section)

Congratulations to you, buddy!

I’m guessing you are also Skye Marin.3250? So how did Homitu like his sword?

Skye Marin.3250:

So who won?

chronic.9403:

Danica has been doing a good job imo. Things have been running better since she came in. I’ll be kitten ed if Anet isn’t listening to us. You asked for more communication (I did, too). Guess what? We got it

You confuse me. LOL

No, the lack of communication is nothing new and has been going on well before the China release. We get a few days worth of posts from Anet promising to communicate better, then they vanish until another gem store bug pops up. Then wash and repeat. I’ve been here over a year and have seen the same empty promises of better communication and support come and go over and over. It has nothing to do with China.

Probably during the next LS update whenever that may be.

pdavis.8031:

And as I’ve seen it stated before: If there is one for vote, any against vote will negate it. Thats basically whats going on.

See that is the thing. It isn’t like all these numerous dueling threads were started by Anet asking for votes to decide. However, people seem to treat them as such and to some degree these threads sort of turn into a forum version of dueling. LOL

You can’t even control yourself from trolling in a thread about dueling. Way to speak for your cause. Good job.

Edit: Scrambles posted a fake PM screen shot from Colin that used derogatory words.. His post was deleted by mods. Just mentioning this so my post makes sense.

Oh wow, that’s a level of sad I never thought anyone would go.

Well I don’t know if he deleted it or the mods did. The fact that my quote didn’t get nuked like they usually do with deleted posts from mods I don’t know. I’m sure a few others here saw it before it got deleted.

Devata.6589:

Btw, sometimes talking with players can help. For example if they start to see things different they might spend money different what can change the game. For example if they buy less gems because they see how that effects parts of the game in a way they do not like it. Just as an example I feel string about.

It isn’t like this is the first multi-page thread about mounts so I doubt at this point things will be seen differently. There are so many threads on this it isn’t even funny with the same old arguments. It is the same old stuff rehashed over and over with almost the same posters trying to get the last word. You know what they say, “you can __ in one hand and and wish in the the other and see what is filled first.”

Lucifirius.3196:

I have never encountered the Queensdale Train, but when I started this game, I learned how to play before I started zerging. Anet, it would be beneficial to newer players if this train was disrupted, perhaps any train in the starting zones.

LOL this cracks me up. “I know nothing of the champ train. When I was new it didn’t affect me. But ban it !!!”

HAHA

Again, another thread where everyone can argue and it will mean nothing. If Anet has a vision for mounts I am sure they will act on it or not based on their ideas. It isn’t like mounts are something Anet has never heard of. You all can argue with each other all you want. Feel free to waste your time and efforts going back and forth. In the end every post in this thread is a waste of time including my own. Have fun bickering for no reason aside from getting the last word.

Erick Alastor.3917:

This is not an issue between those in the guild, it’s an issue with 1 ATTESTED hacked account. The only other account in the guild since day -3.
°___°

Unfortunately, Anet can’t be held responsible for the lack of security of your guild members. I know that sounds harsh but that is the way it is.

Erick Alastor.3917:

I’m writing a ticket for anet, to ask for the restitution of items stolen from my bank by the compromised account of my friend.

He received this mail:
Regarding your items and characters, we often are able to restore compromised accounts. You should know, however, that an account restoration will result in the loss of any progress you’ve made since regaining access to your account. If we restore your account, it will be returned to its state on XXXXXX. Achievements, accomplishments, and items acquired since regaining access to your account will be lost, but you will regain the items and gold that were taken in the compromise.
In addition, characters that were deleted during the compromise incident also will be restored.
Please note that we are unable to recover any losses you may have suffered in your guild or on the trading post.

In our guild it’s always been just the two of us, I’m also no longer using the guild bank since the incident. It should be incredibly easy to check what is missing, because all the items where withdrawn at once and probably sold on the TP.

There is any chance to recover those items? If not I’m speechless.
Please, if anyone resolved this problem, tell me how.
I’ve tried to contact them, but probably I was not clear enought because the told me:

I appreciate your enthusiasm to help your friend, but we are able to assist or discuss an account only with the original account owner.

The stolen items with his compromised account were mine… o_O

It looks like you got your answer (in your bold text) so I’m not sure why you are asking for another. It has been a policy for as long as I know that issues with guilds / guild banks are between those in the guild and can’t be recovered by Anet.

I’m sorry this happened to you but unfortunately it is what it is now.

Algreg.3629:

OP´s proposal will still not stop the ridiculous amount of trolling or whatever that is done with those tags. A different proposal: when a player wants to tag up, have a quick poll pop up for every player on the map (well, of the relevant faction only in WvW naturally), similar to the party kick mechanic, “player x wants to tag as commander, agree? yes/no”. Simple majority vote wins.

Yes, because having a poll pop up on your screen every other minute every time someone wants to use their tag wouldn’t be obnoxious either.

Kamikazi.5380:

Everytime this topic is brought up I always see the same reasons anti-duelists use against putting in dueling. Harassment.

See my recent posts in this thread. I don’t even mention “duel meh brah” harassment. You probably glossed over it. Similar points have been made by others but some tend to focus on the 1v1 harassment issue and ignore the other points brought up because the “duel me brah” argument is the easiest to defend.

And with that, I’m out of this thread. I’ve said what I felt was worth saying. I think I have been fair to all sides of the argument. Going on and on with this topic is a waste of time for all involved. It is just the same old stuff that has been said over and over in all the other threads. If anyone thinks for a moment this thread or even the same threads that are sure to follow will make a difference you are misguided.

It isn’t like PvE dueling is not on Anet’s radar. After all there are links showing they have it in mind as a possibility. I’m sure they have read all these threads about it with the same arguments over and over. If in fact they plan to integrate it I’m sure they have their vision by now. Everything we keep arguing about is just a waste of time.

No matter how it turns out I hope it works in the best interest of all GW2 players. We all like to see each other having fun. I don’t think any of us are members of the fun police.

My Attack Will Kill.7816:

JustTrogdor.7892:

Most players in PvE and WvW that have been around awhile know which tags to follow and which to ignore. It only took me a few days my first time in WvW to learn what tags were bad and which were not. Sure new players might run astray but that is what /map is for to guide them to the proper tag. If you are mad at bad tags, be proactive and guide people to the proper tags via chat.

thats what we always try to do but

this is megaservers and eotm not everybody speaks english + not everybody reads chat some even have map chat on mute so

Well unfortunately the players that don’t follow direction or have /map on probably fall into to the group of “bad players”. I hate using that term but they seem to fall into that category it probably doesn’t matter anyway no matter how tags are assigned. I’m NA server so I can’t speak for the language barrier.

Scrambles.2604:

It takes a lot of fun out of dueling or watching duels if you have to be quiet about it. I dunno…it seems a little too authoritative. “Keep quiet while you’re doing dueling…you don’t want to upset the fun police!”

I thought your idea for open world duels was to have fun, duel friends, test PvE builds, practice for PvP as you stated a few times and so forth. I don’t see why discussing the results in /map should be part of that. After all it is a 1v1 thing and not a group activity. Whispering your opponent post duel to discuss the results should suffice since most everyone else most likely would not care. Like I said in my post, the chat cool down was just a thing I tossed out there and not very plausible. However it would reduce post duel trash talk in open channels.

Scrambles.2604:

Otherwise, i’ve always been cool with keeping duels away from busy work places….crafting/TP/Bank. I mean, it is a little silly. It’s not like players don’t already spam their abilities in those places all the time, but i guess some people can’t be bothered to see other players having fun or doing things in the world.

Again just because a way to annoy others already exists doesn’t mean that more tools to do so should be implemented. This is why I feel designated dueling areas in maps would be fair and limit this type of disturbance. If anything perhaps a certain distance from vendors, TP, banks, and so forth would be required before a duel can occur. Perhaps a 5,000 unit distance as a barrier.

Scrambles.2604:

As far as fighting near mobs— the nature of duels themselves de-incentivizes this. You wouldn’t want to duel near mobs because you will get low health from the duel and the mob will kill you.

That was my point. Players will choose to duel in safe areas, the very areas most populated by everyone else that isn’t dueling. So it seems that designated dueling areas with no fear of taking agro from mobs would make sense.

Scrambles.2604:

Level scaling is cool, too. I mean, if a lvl 80 player wants to fight low lvls, they could…you know…just decline the duel.

Again, my other point if someone L20 gets a challenge from a L80 in say Queensdale, because of downscaling indicators they have no idea what level they are up against. Thus my proposal that a duel request would show the true level of each player. That would give each player the option to decline once seeing what level they were up against.

Once again I am not totally against PvE dueling and I probably would go up against some of my friends as long as there were some limits that would bring minimal impact to the bulk of the PvE community.

For me it isn’t about not wanting to see players having fun as you like to state. I encourage everyone to have fun all they want in GW2. However, when someone else’s idea of fun might impact my idea of fun be it visually or disturbances in chat channels, or what not then I think it is fair to voice my opinion just as it is fair to voice your own on what you consider fun.

I host regular new player map runs (usually 10-15 players) and only use my tag for it. I’ve done this over 20 times and continue to do so when I have time. I bought my tag just for that purpose. It is a valuable tool and I would say my tag serves a purpose. So, no you can’t take my tag away just because you don’t know which tag to follow on a map or you can’t ignore a small icon.

I’ll go one more time at this and voice my concerns with open world PvE dueling and even post possible solutions. I’m basing my post on the assumption that if PvE dueling did exist there would be auto-decline option.

1. The affect that dueling will have in /map, /say. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t understand the point of healthy competition and can’t control themselves win or lose. My concern is rage over duels will spill into /map and /say with a lot of garbage talk. Sure I can turn those channels off but why should I have to? Here are just 2 few fairly recent examples (out of many I have read on the forum) of how a duel gone bad can spill into trash talk:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Bad-reactions-after-duels/
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Hostility-in-PvP/

Possible solution: 5 minute cool down before you can post in /map, /say after a duel. (not a likely solution but I thought I would throw it in). Even then I can see where there a lot of trash talk could still spill into /map

2. The affect dueling will have on the PvE environment. If people want to duel fine, but I don’t want to watch it or have to deal with it all over my screen. I don’t want to be at a bank, TP, crafting station or vendor with people dueling all over my screen. People that support open world dueling state it allows to duel in “awesome” locations. Will people really start duels in areas where they might accidentally tag a neutral mob with a multi-target or AOE skill? Will they duel among hostiles? Doubtful. Duels will occur in the safe areas which are also the most populated by PvE players.

Possible solution: No dueling in main cities. Have designated dueling areas in certain maps. This will allow people that want to duel, and practice or whatever reason those that want dueling to due so. They will have the full benefit of dueling in PvE gear while not disturbing other players. Oddly those that are most supportive of PvE dueling reject this compromise every time it is brought up even though it fits most of the criteria for why they want PvE dueling anyway.

3. Scaling. For those that want to duel if they are in areas below L80 how do they know who they are dueling level wise? Like WvW obviously someone L20 dueling someone L80 in say, Queensdale will be at a huge disadvantage and not know they accepted a duel with a L80. I can see where this will lead to a lot of high level players hanging out in low level zones trying to duel new players for bragging rights. This might leave a bad taste in the mouth of new players that are trying to learn the game and testing the dueling system at the same time.

Possible solution: When a duel is requested it shows the true level of both players.

I’m not totally against dueling in PvE as long as there are some limits. I think I have been fair in considering ways that it could be introduced without disturbing the overall PvE population. I think with some compromise it could be integrated and fit the needs of those that want to duel for fun, to practice, and do so in the spirit of healthy competition. To be fair I’m not labeling the entire pro-PvE duel crowd as a bunch of griefers that want to cause trouble. However, I think it is fair to say that introducing open world dueling will indeed open up avenues for more people to try to cause problems for others. Sure, there are already trouble makers in PvE but that doesn’t mean it is a good idea to introduce more tools for people to cause more problems.

I feel that if PvE dueling is important to those that want to duel in PvE with no intentions of causing problems a few limits on where and when PvE dueling can be done is a fair compromise.

monkeyboy.1732:

i need help my password want work it works on the website but not the game….

Sounds like you will need to contact support. Link located at the top of this page.

Same old boring duel thread with the same people saying the same things they have said in the countless other threads on the topic. I don’t think this thread is going to be the one, unlike the many others, that makes a difference.

My guess is the next living story update, whenever that happens. With the China stuff going on I’m not sure when we will see the next LS.

Seera.5916:

I think it was an overreaction to achievement point hunters who felt compelled to do ALL of the options each and every day who came on the forums and complained about how the huge number of options made dailies feel like a chore.

That and or Anet is trying to funnel people into game modes they don’t like. It isn’t the everyday PvE player’s fault PvP isn’t very popular yet they keep trying to force us into it. From reading the PvP forums since 4/15 the PvP players are not too happy about the influx of PvE players that are just there for dailies.

With the old system I easily got my 5 PvE for the daily and if I felt like it I could get another 2-3 in PvE for a few more achievement points. Now my hands are tied.

Ok Ill try it, but unfortunately. I did not do anything to my router. All I did was do the recommended fix for the trade post by going to Application Support and deleting a certain folder. Now I can’t even get the launcher to show up after reinstalling too.

I strongly suggest you file a support ticket.

https://help.guildwars2.com/anonymous_requests/new

Make sure you indicate that you are a Mac customer and give full details. I also suggest that in your ticket you mention that you have been looking for support in the “Mac Tech Support Forum” with no luck.

Unfortunately it is important to work through support tickets in an effort to gain Anet’s attention to this forum.

Personally, I’ve exhausted all my efforts to get Anet support here. Just when we think someone cares they disappear (untill we can’t buy gems). I’m tired of trying to get a reasonable response from Anet in regards to the Mac client. It isn’t worth my time anymore and the lack of response certainly won’t earn my money.

Gibson.4036:

And no, the mount conversation will never be done until there are mounts it the game or ArenaNet shuts down the servers.

Yes, because I’m sure with all the development going on Anet has never once considered mounts. :P Maybe after the 800th thread and dead horse conversation they will make a ruling based on the same worn out tires that keep spinning in every thread about mounts. Maybe Anet will be convinced one way or another after mount thread 834 since I’m sure they have never even heard of mounts. LOL

lilz shorty.1879:

True and I have tried everything that they mentioned but I haven’t seen anyone with the issue where the client wont even load or pop up. I mean I dont even get a grey screen. Nothing. Just an idle icon on my dock.

What are your system specs? Have you tried running the game under a different user account on your Mac? I have heard that works for some. Have you tried launching it from finder in you app folder instead of from the dock?

Unfortunately the only thing that seems to get attention around here from Anet involves the TP because when the TP is down it limits access to the gem store. If you can’t access the gem store you can’t give Anet your money. Go figure.

There are a number of sticky threads that have some trouble shooting steps you might try but they are fairly dated. Good luck.
