Could someone clarify this for me ?
To she’d some light, once a change requires text, the minimum turnaround is 4 weeks on translation alone.
I don’t understand how a change like for scope would require text. Is not text only for tooltips ?
About the 4 weeks for translation, translation of what ? Of the tooltip again ? How could a single translation require 4 weeks ?
I want to clarify that this is not a criticism/taunt/ putting into question the work done, I just want to understand.I’ve just recently gone through a localization experience with one of our apps (I work for a small development shop), and a four week turnaround for even a single translation is pretty quick, actually. You have to get the text to a translator for each of the different languages (a quick look at the top of the page here shows four languages for these forums alone). Remember that ANet has stated that they hope to support Asian languages, so it would be fair to state that changes now will include translations for those keys so they don’t have to have it done later.
Once the translators have the final text, they do their thing, then the ANet dev team has to integrate those keys into the build. Finally, assuming they are following Best Practices™, the build is delivered back to the translation team for review/verification IN CONTEXT. We found this to be a crucial step in our app – the text alone doesn’t always provide enough detail for an accurate, idomatic translation. The review may result in translation changes, which need to be integrated and reviewed. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot for your answer, yes it helps a lot
1) Auto attack for grenades (PvE)
2) More diversity in reliable builds : don’t just nerf grenade kits, buff other builds ! Making rifle or P/P or P/S available without HgH would be nice for instance (PvE wise)
3) Auto attack for grenades

Hey, thanks a lot for this constructive answer, instead of the previous which did not answer.
It’s quite sad if it’s not planned
I would say, though it’s not absolutely necessary, it would be a major improvement :
- Prettier customizable bars that you can move ? yes please !
- Ability to move and modify the size of buffs/debuffs on you and your target ? yes please !
- Ability to save gear and equip/unequip with 1 click (like Outfitter on WoW) ? yes please !
- Ability to have a better organization of my inventory (Ark Inventory like) ? yes please !
And so many examples to be added ! yes please !
See how much addons could improve the player’s experience of the game.
The point is just not to be as stupid as they were in WoW : not giving any information of the combat log.
Addons like Recount or BigWigs/DBM should not exist and have no place in GW2.
Addons only for comfort/visual are much welcomed.
Those improvements I said, they might come into the game some day but are very, very, very low priority. When you see that high priority (like I Berserker from mesmers) aren’t fixed after 3 months, that makes you understand you can’t hope to see those changes before years.
Allowing some people to do macros that essentially do most functions with 1 click causes a “grey area” in games. It is like a test for players to see how automated they can make their macros even to the point of basically botting before getting banned. Anet takes a good approach to most exploits/glitches etc. They are very black and white about most topics, that way there is no room for grey areas in their game. Which in the end results in less customer service problems because A user has 9 skills macros to 1 key, player B had 25, and player C had 10. But player A’s 9 skills made it so he could mine an entire area with 1 click (just an example). So now they have to sort out who has actually crossed the line yada-yada. Instead it is as simple as stated, and most people understand what you can and cannot do. Just like John Smith had to make the forum sticky about grey markets, or talking about grey markets. Some people like to test the boundaries of the rules just for the sake of doing it. There isn’t much leniency for those types of players here in GW2, I think the community is better for it.
PS I recommend a mouse with side buttons, spamming with your thumb (for me) is much easier than pointer finger :P Although I was a gunner, so that could be why ^^
Wow, thank you so much sir for this very detailed explanation ! Now I understand, though I disagree with this idea, but we just have to bend.
I’d have never thought about it possibly banned because of botting since the gameplay would still be here O_o.
I was thinking about some possible exploit, though I fail to see how this could be exploited lol.
If so, it means that you also can’t have a macro spam F for loot while zerging your opponents in WvW : we can’t have auto loot, but we can’t fix it, we just have to be kittened.
I can’t bind the #1 to side mouse keys since I already use them for utilities (mainly teleport skills). In the same way, I wanted to bind #1 to mousewheel, but it appears we can’t do that either.
Poor ergonomy, but we’re not allowed to fix it by other ways, so sad
The only macro I have is a button on my fireglider mouse next to the left and middle buttons which simply when held down, simulates mashing the left button as fast as possible. I use it when selling trash to the vendor, haha.
Well, if my macro is not allowed, I’m pretty sure this is the same for this and could also get you banned if mine is bannable.
Would love to see an official answer here, especially with an great explanation (maybe it’s not about botting at all, we can just assume)
Alright, thanks for those last answers, I guess you guys are right. Don’t understand why it’s allowed elsewhere and what’s the harm in doing that but meh, rules are rules and dont wanna get banned for such a stupid thing.
Guess I’ll buy one of those little bird things to spam the key in my stead to save my poor little fingers then
