Offensive Names/Name Changes

You sir have far more problems with names.

“Now on day three of waiting for a reply. Simply just requesting a name change for one of my characters after renaming her the same thing after a forced character rename (from “Phook Yu” to “Phook Yú”). Stupid/annoyed decision that I regretted minutes after applying. Don’t want to deal with a three day suspension, so I’ve avoided playing said character while I wait for a reply, and I’d really like to start playing said character again.”

No sympathy. You are looking for trouble.

Superior sigil of perception

All of the sigil’s that provide stacks have done that for me.

Perception (Currently use), Luck, and Demon Summoning for sure.

All of them function the same as far as I am aware.

Clarification on Backslot Transmutations

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Mystic forging items clears the item.

For example: Using the mystic forge on a soulbound ascended ring to get the infused version will unsoulbind it and clear out any infusion in it.

In essence the forge destroys what you put in it and gives you a brand new widget.

So my guess would be. Don’t transmute till you have the level of upgrade you ultimately desire.

I’d like to know gear makeup as well. I’d also really like to see people with ascended gear in that sort of stat range. (3k Attack/Armor. 40% Crit and 70 Dmg with 18K health)

I’ve been struggling trying to figure out how to increase my stats. I have Vitality to drop but seem to always lose Pow/Precision/Toughness when I try.

Currently sitting at

1849 Power
1297 Precision
1719 Toughness
1773 Vitality
2949 Attack
22% crit chance
70 Crit Damage
2930 Armor
19,375 Health

Knight Helm/Legs.
Valk Shoulders/Gloves/Boots/GS
Soldier Chest
Soldier Rune set (I run condition removal shouts)
Valk Beta Prototype
Emerald/Valk Earring and Ancient karka shell with Beryl Jewels
Emerald Pendant with Beryl Jewel.
Vine of the Pale tree and (Lost Seal of Usoku but will upgrade to Bagh Nokh as I get pristines.)

I’ve done level 4 at least 3 times this week. Mostly just cause I was farming relics and looked for any group 2-8 for the daily bonus relics.

Seriously. I don’t think you are trying hard enough to get a group. Are you at all trying to START one?

I find that posting that you are lfg really isn’t NEARLY as effective as “Looking for 3 more for…”

So look for someone who is lfg for lvl 4 on gw2lfg.com then post your own lfg as “Looking for 3 more for…”

See how that works for ya.

Gear help please?

in Guardian

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

Yeah. I meant to post that I am planning to upgrade my rings to Vine of the Pale tree and Bagh Nokh when I get the pristines/lucky with daily. I also switched to the Emerald pendant that I mentioned.

Those changes will put me at

18875 health
2862 armor
21 crit chance with 78 crit damage
2949 attack

Thank you for your input. Just swapping the jewels will only unfortunately be a swing of 450 health for ~2% crit chance. (Downside of ascended gear is less Gems. Only have 3. Two earrings and an Amulet.)

I was thinking that to obtain 9% more crit chance. I need to get ~189 more precision. That will drop me squarly on 30% crit. I could drop vitality to where I am at 18k health without too much problem. The problem is where do I drop it without losing too much in the way of armor/power…

The reason I want to keep a high vitality is that I play WvWvW in addition to Fractualizing. So I’m a hybrid of pvp and pve. Also too lazy to buy/store/switch gear between the two. The health combined with toughness and all our utility/blocks/condition removal are what keep me alive from the rogues and quite a beating from the rest of the zerg.

If I didn’t do wvwvw. I’d easily give up more health.

Thank you for the input. Especially the sigil. Really need to upgrade that. It’s only masterwork for crying out loud.

I am seeking some assistance by you knowledgeable fellow guardians.

I play a Greatsword/Scepter+Focus shout guardian.

I have a decent setup, but I am looking to get more out of it. I would especially like to focus on more crit damage and precision.

Any suggestions? The only item I can’t replace is my prototype back slot. Too much time farming put into it to change. It is currently a Power Toughness Crit Damage ascended. Soon to be Beta version.

Here’s my current setup and stats:

Knights Helm
Valkyrie Shoulders
Ascalonian Breastplate (PTV)
Valkyrie Gloves
Knights Legs
Valkyrie Boots.

All of the above are with soldier runes which I will be keeping for the shout condition removal.

Valkyrie Emerald jewelry with exquisite beryl jewels and karka shell with beryl as well. Currently with Lost Seal of Usoku and Vassar’s Band rings. (If I need to upgrade these no problem.)

Valk Greatsword with force sigil (Any suggest on a new sigil, this was just in it and haven’t replaced at all.)

My ultimate goal would be to maximize Crit damage while achieving and keeping 20k health. Ideally also keeping toughness as high as I can.

I know this is a lot to ask but my head is swimming from all the numbers =( Please someone save me!

(Note: I have an emerald pendant I in my inventory that I haven’t decided to use yet if I should. Was thinking that Triforge as my goal would be decent. But not so sure now.)

Funny enough. Doing Ascalon Catacombs frequently gets you nothing but warriors and guardians that want to go.

It’s actually an amazing group as long as everyone knows how to use their skills, how to dodge, and communicate if someone hasn’t done the path yet or if they are going to skip stuff.

Then you need to contact support. That link will walk you through the process.

On a side note, it’s not about the character’s name. The name suspensions specifically mention that. So do the ones about botting and gold sale/purchase issues.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that gives no description whatsoever as to the issue.

If I recall correctly. They already stated in a past post somewhere out there that they WANTED the loot to be automatic, but could not and the bag at your feet was actually a workaround because they couldn’t get it to work the way they wanted.

I don’t really want to find the post though.

See the screenshot below. This is an example of the screen that pops up when you are suspended.

This one in particular is about an inappropriate name. (Since you keep bringing that up. I have to wonder what names are on the account besides “Allie the Wonder”.)

Is the naming policy enforced?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

Yes. There’s a ton of people that complain about the 72 hour suspension.

Anytime someone posts in the account issue section of the forum about their character name ban, there’s a few people who also chime in about how they were also suspended for a name. None of them can understand why. Even “Unsanitary Napkin” couldn’t figure it out. (That was the second one for that person. I expect more in their future too.)

But on the other side of the coin. It’s up to Anet to actually suspend and force name change on those names. Just because you report something doesn’t mean that they will suspend and name change. Especially if it’s borderline.

For example: A player with “Gender Bender” got suspended and support is trying to allow him to get his name back.

So while there are people who would be offended by such a name. Anet has decided that it is not warranted. DESPITE one GM actually suspending and forcing the change in the first place.

Yeah. They really need ascended gear to be available in places other than fractals so those who don’t like dungeons can continue the karma trains in orr if they prefer.

I wonder how long till “Heroes” will be available.

But I would say that your server is an EXTREME version of that. It most definitely is not the same on all servers. Dragonbrand for example was not that way by a longshot.

Transmutation stone use gets punished

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

Seems like a simple issue.

Item X transmuted with Item Y becomes Item Z (With Item X’s stats and Y’s looks. Which is the function of the stones.)

Of course Mystic Forge recipe requires Item X + Widgets.

Item Z is no longer part of the forge recipe because it’s no longer an Item X.

That indeed does kinda suck.

Edit: Solution is to keep the “Name” as a hidden attribute so that the recipe can utilize an item in place of X as long as at one point in time it used to be an X.
