Guild Wars 2

This is annoying as hell when trying to loot monsters that die near banners. “OMG WHY U STEAL MY BANNER! Ima report you!!” when I’m just trying to get my loot.
No one else can use my minions – sometimes not even me, so why can I use, move, steal someone elses banners? I can’t take someone’s turrets or other plantables so why the banners?

Challenge shouldn’t depend on camera functionality. A great many of the jumping puzzles and many areas in general are a problem for the camera that increases the frustration level beyond tolerable.
Yes, they can all be done but they should be enjoyable as well, and currently they’re not enjoyable when you can’t see what you’re doing, the camera hangs on an object, bounces uncontrollably, or just will not work in the area.

There is, but you can’t tear them away from the chat location. You can add tabs to it that have certain channels in it like Guild, Map, Say, damage, npc’s, etc.
Just click the + next to the tab that says Main. You can even name it on the interface that comes up when you click the +

I’ve noticed that if I use much higher tools than required I get a few more occasionally from each swing.

Not sure which piece of armor it is, but I think it’s the top and it cuts my character in half – there’s a few pixels of empty distance between the top and bottom of the character. Additionally, my big toe actually sticks out of the side of the shoes – clipping issue.
First picture shows the slice in my body really well, second picture shows it a little, third picture shows the big toe clipping through the shoes on Hero panel as well as the preview panel – which by the way needs some work, some colors get wonky, the preview sometimes carries over odd artifacts from a preview item to the one you’re currently wearing when you clear a single item.

Stats:

Look up Fiery Dragon Sword.

It was stalled on Maguuma as well as the event to help charm pets for that village yesterday(maybe this morning early…)

It may be accessible from a different point on the hill, the part you climbed is obviously too steep but there might be another way to get on top of that hill somewhere else.

The Lich was/were male and not a god in GW1, the lore is already set in stone.
Would have liked to see the god forms return but oh well.

Plants have a sex, there’s male, female, and other… It’s just that most real-world plants need a third party to ‘do it’ – eg. bird, bee, etc.

Gods of the underworld (Grenth and/or Duum) is not the same as death so yes, they can have a gender and are modeled on a male type body. Though IIRC we never see Duum and I haven’t read the books. And the dead certainly do have gender, it may not be needed anymore but they have it, just look at the Risen and ghosts of Ascalon – there are female and male.

As for certain races not being ‘all that interested in the opposite sex’ or gender not being all that important – they may have evolved to the point where gender is socially acceptable, but they clearly point out which ones they want to ‘do it with’ and still tease each other about getting their behinds handed to them by the opposite sex. Just pay attention to the npc dialog and you’ll hear all kinds of stuff.

6 for permanent or 5 permanent with Lich Form as your elite and every 180 seconds you can have up to 11 or 12 if you time things right. But 6 or 7 of those will die off in seconds so, not all that useful.

So since Anet thought about putting this on consoles they defaulted to 60 FOV and completely screwed the PC demographic and those that are motion intolerant? nice.

I’m am 100% in favor of a PC game having an FOV slider as that should be an absolute feature in ALL A+ games.

Look, Anet, there is a big enough sample size that request a higher FOV that should have been standard that you should implement it already.

You know the camera is wonky as hell. My Norn has a hell of a time doing ANYTHING, let alone seeing what is in front of me. Camera bounce? check – try some trees, indoor areas, tents, jump puzzles, close quarters and back-against-the-wall stuff and you’ll see how the camera just STICKS to it.

The environment should be transparent and the camera should NOT have a physical presence in the game – what am I, just a really bad cameraman?

First Person View, gw1 had it. We used it for awesome screenshots and for when the camera was just always in the wrong position to do anything. I don’t always want to see my character doing things, sometimes I want to do them. Like jumping puzzles, your current camera bounces all over the place and sticks to the walls, if it was a simple place behind my character that didn’t change when I jumped around that would be even better.

This game is a PC game, 90 FOV is standard no matter what your monitor size is.

Zoom. Sure, I’d love for it to be a little further out. But what I really have the problem with is its center point and it’s angle. Because the center point is your skull (on Norn at least) it means that you are never seeing what your character sees, the center point needs to be above the head. The angle makes you always look at the ground and if you try to look up, you just get a cheesy upskirt shot of your character…

GW1 had awesome camera position and control as well as stability, why fix something that wasn’t broke in the first place? I believe it also had a decent FOV. Copy & Paste that code

They did adjust the position slider to allow a much larger distance left/right though, it used to be just a few inches, but now my character can be on the left or right side of my monitor. Also uses a slight inverted U shape to the position that actually puts the camera at a higher position on the outside points…

Anyway, the camera system needs an overhaul bad – I thought we told you that in the betas…

2 days I maxed out my collections tab with butter and chocolate doing the Charr maps to 100%. I don’t cook so I’m leaving 250 in my collection and selling the rest when the TP works. Seems like the drop rate for butter is 75% or better and chocolate is 50%+ lol

Rojan the Penitent is near Frostwalk Tundra in Frostgorge Sound.

So I just bought all of them because I just entered the area and knew I didn’t know them. However, upon trying to consume them it tells me that I already know them. So apparently I just wasted 1gold (5s 12c each x 19).

I’m 73 at the moment and the recipes say requires level 80 – do I need to be level 80 just to consume them? I wrongly assumed that my character could read instructions in a recipe at any level.

Now half of my character storage is consumed by consumables that I can’t consume! And I can’t use the TP as it tells me “ERROR: Invalid Authorization” so I can’t even get my money back (the merchant will buy them back for 64 copper each, what a deal!).

I think the npc should tell me I’m not good enough for these rare recipes yet instead of me finding out that, erroneously, I already know them.

Ditto, Dredgehaunt Cliffs for me on Maguuma. I don’t currently have an alt so…

I’m stuck loading Dredgehaunt Cliffs. – Maguuma -

Which world? It didn’t work on Maguuma the Tuesday morning iirc.

The vista at Dostoev’s Sky Peak can be reached by jumping from the upper level fenced area over the closed gate underneath – someone said there was a chain you pull to open the fence, I haven’t found the chain yet.

When you go to the upper level above the gate and walk to the fenced area, then move to the right just where the fence ends and jump from that point you can bypass the closed gate to get to the vista and chest area. You still have to fight to get there but it’s an unintentional solution.

Don’t know if this would be considered an exploit or oversight, but I’ve been showing people how to get to the vista like that all day long cause I didn’t know any other way to do it.

Maybe extending the fence another section down the ramp would force people to find the chain pull.

Yeah. Would be nice if ALL crafting materials were put in the collections. I know my artificer only uses them for potions which aren’t all that impressive so I just sell them.

I’ve got a couple from drops, unfortunately one of them I put on a karma item and can’t salvage it anymore, so it’ll be lost in a couple levels.
Would be great to be able to craft these.

Was wondering why I was getting so much chocolate and butter while doing the Charr areas yesterday. Just thought Charr liked butter and chocolate… Anyway, if you need chocolate or butter, the Charr have plenty LOL

While waiting for the suggestions board to open up, I figured since thousands of people are getting hacked every day that it should be clear exactly which IP address you were really visiting from on your account page.
On the security page you can see where your account was getting accessed from, but it doesn’t say where you are from so you could inadvertently give access to someone that isn’t you.

Yes, I know there are thousands of third-party services out there that can tell you your IP address, but shouldn’t that info be on the page that requires you to know it to distinguish yours from a hackers?

Doing this through the email acknowledgements is a little more difficult but can still be accomplished with an image with your IP address on it.

As a web developer, I see this misstep as pretty big.

PS. I haven’t had any attempts on my account (knock on wood) but this is something that would help the community.
