OK, i’ve decided that before I go to bed tonight, I am going to uninstall GW2 and reinstall it. How exactly do download it again ?
thanks
I ran Malwarebytes and ridded my PC of hundreds of problems. However now, I get a net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED message when trying to access the TP. I can talk to people fine, I can also use the internet . Should I reload the game ?
thanks
As I am sometimes preoccupied, I don’t notice my stats on many of the PvP games I play. I think a great feature for GW2 would be to have that information available for a quick review as needed.
Thanks
Thanks for the thoughtful reply Inculpatus cedo. I have actually thought about getting one of the ArenaNet music devices and volunteer to become audio prompter to an invasion in WvW. Though, a lilting harp just doesn’t do an incoming WvW invasion justice.
I was considering that a nice compromise until Team Speak and other implementation of voice in gaming is standardized that specific user controlled audio commands might be a nice feature.
What urged me to make this topic was a sore need for audio prompts in WvW. For example “incoming” ….while it is a good idea to always be checking all of your controls (dialogue box) I frequently am blindsided by the lack of adequate preparation. A few choice commands that would obviously need appropriate restraint (mutes and other limits) to discourage spamming might be in order.
Either this or a bugle to signal such occurrences in battle :-) . Wait, there is a bugle already ?
Well, I for one have contemplated purchasing a second Guild Wars account just so I could have two of my characters online at the same time. There are so many things I could accomplish using two of my characters on simultaneously. One is troubleshooting builds. While one character is letting their 2 minute Elite skill cool down, I could be multi-tasking another. This begs another question, what about instant cooldowns in specific areas for the purpose of trouble shooting builds ?
Would anyone be interested in say having Heroes being reintroduced into GW2 or maybe Heart of Thorns and having your other characters be able to stand in as Heroes ?
It might fulfill at least two desirable objectives. One ; having players add another incentive to create alt characters and , Two; everybody likes the idea of Heroes as far as I know. Thoughts ?

May be my last tally. The Dreamer seemed to be universally loved or hated with at least 5 dislikes. Sifting through the posts it became somewhat apparent that the Quip was the most disliked with at least 9 unfavorable votes. I strive for accuracy but if you find a mistake, please let me know.

Judging from what I’ve seen, even low level players ( e.g. level 7) are normalized to level 80 and I would guess the same holds true for armor as well. I will hold that assumption until told otherwise.
thanks again!
I understand all weapons are normalized in PvP. Does the same hold true for armor ? In other words, does ascended armor hold the small edge in PvP over Exotic armor ? Im sort of new to PvP.
thanks
Yes, Kako described the problem explicitly. I also realize that in a group kill effort my finisher will not necessarily be the one used as it probably depends on factors such as who did the most damage or who actually got the kill shot etc.. I am careful to distinguish this from solo kills where my finisher defaults to the rather mundane stick in the ground (the first Finisher available) rather than my purchased Finisher which I highlight prior to using it.
thanks all for answering
Is there a way to make one particular Finisher my DEFAULT Finisher ? I paid 800 Gems for the Finisher I wanted and its not convenient to have to reset it after each kill in WvW or PvP. I am of course, blind when it comes to certain details so I may have just overlooked it.
thanks !
I am having all kinds of problems with proxy errors and not being able to communicate with the TP. Two of my three browsers have the same issue. Firefox is the only one I can fix. Are the browser and the trading post related in anyway ? I really want to fix this.
thanks
Yes, RoseofGilead is correct. Ideally I wish once I mastered a discipline, I could use it for all my characters but mostly its just an inconvenience to have to always log off to another character to make armor, exchange stuff through my bank and so on. Its sort of a consolidation move as well as a cosmetic move.
Is there any plan in the offing to be able to switch crafting abilities from one character to another ? I would pay GEMs to be able to outfit my Guardian with my Thief’s crafting abilities.
Thanks !
ok, thanks guys, you are the best !
I started out the Living Story on one character and obtained my Carapace Pauldrons. I noticed that they didn’t have the luminescent hue to them like I’ve seen with other players. I then started a new character and obtained the gloves, leggings and boots (in that order). Again, I’m not noticing any particular luminescence. What am I doing wrong ?
Great Patch and Thanks.
thank you, I think I have my answer :-)
Well I was sort of hoping a Guru (Present Company Included) would reply. A Guru or even better an ArenaNet programmer.
Yeah, you may be correct That Guy and that is why I am bringing this up here.
Thanks everyone !
The types are : Conditions Duration ; Permanent Bonus ; On Kill ; On Critical Hit ; On Weapon Swap ; On Hit
well, when using the GW2Skills.net Build Editor it segregates all of Sigils by type. Air and Fire are grouped together. That’s my understanding.
Superior Sigil of Fire has a 50% chance of a critical hit. The same can be said for the Superior Sigil of Air. The only difference is that one has an AOE (Fire) effect while the other has a lightning bolt effect. I am curious ?
Fire and Sup Sigs of Air considered the same “type”
thanks
No – profit/skill point is referring to the gold you can make from skill points as currency.
Understood. My phrasing was poor.
Ok, an important piece of information I left out was the profit I referred to was that to be made from converting T5 to T6 ( or any conversion) materials which costs SP (Philosophers Stones and Crystals) so that is where that ratio comes into play. The usual parameters apply in determining other forms of profit I would imagine.
and I forgot to mention, the conventional wisdom is that for something to be “profitable” , it is said that it probably should be at least worth 30-40 silver per skill point.
I’m trying to learn the most effective way to make money in this game and I keep coming back to a ratio called the “profit/skill point”. Is this the amount of money you generate by filling in each of the 10 horizontal bars at the bottom of a given character ?
Thanks in Advance :-)
How do I move my Guild Wars 2 mini map that usually sets in the lower right hand corner of my screen. It somehow moved to the top. I want to move it back to the bottom.
I’ve tried using the little windows “grabbers” but all I do is succeed in changing its relative size. Please help and excuse me if this isn’t the appropriate forum for asking this question.
Thanks
PS This was a GREAT GW Halloween !
I just rebooted my computer and that was the problem. I feel some obligation to show you what a goose I am.
is this a local issue, with my ISP or is it spread over a wider area ? Right now I can play the game but can not access the TP.
Thank you Beldin !
How do I do that ?
Can I just go to Anet, and download the "Download Full Free Version " ?
or is there a better way ?
Here’s one more thing. I always liked the listing that the Old TP had with a list of the Highest Valued Items, Most Traded Items, Items in Highest Demand….etc.
Is there a way to generate that sort of screen again now ?
Wanze, hopefully a moderator will move this thread there. I should have put it there to begin with. Sorry about that.
I like the new Trading Post changes but one thing I do not like are the gyrations you now have to perform to remove multiple items from being sold at the Trading Post to be put back into your own inventory. If your TP list of items to be sold is of any significant length at all, the process by which you reclaim said merchandise requires that you first CANCEL and then CONFIRM removal of the item. If its just one item, there is no problem at all but if you want to do multiple items it becomes very tedious.
This needs to be streamlined as doing both operations isn’t an easy 2 step operation like you’d hope. It requires first a cancel ,then a confirm, one item at a time rather than being able to globally cancel and confirm in one fell swoop. If that description is confusing try removing 3 items from your list and see what I mean. You lose your place once you’ve made just one transaction (one removal).
When you heal others in battle, does that time spending helping others actually discount your own stats when it comes time to allocate booty at the end of a boss fight ? I know I sincerely appreciate those who selflessly help others out in battle situations regardless. I take notice as much as possible and try to thank those that are unselfish in that way.
Maybe a tag or an emblem to honor those who are unselfish ? It probably would be better if it were invisible to the individual but visible to everyone else. I suggest this not for my own benefit, honestly, but in the bigger picture it may help the overall benevolence of individual players. I would gaze upon such a medal as way more impressive than a Legendary weapon.
Too trite ?
Happy Sunday
Well, what I’ve heard here all makes sense. What I am hearing is that it is all in my vision… all in my perspective …all in my head. Problem is, that’s the worst place for it !
ipan, thank you.
This is one reason I am so poor at dungeons with jumping puzzles. I avoid them at all costs. When I did the Fractals of the Mists yesterday, it started off with an easy jumping puzzle and I was at the last jump and I lost it. There is such a confidence component to jumping that if you are no good at it , you can freeze and miss the easiest of jumps. I also notice some fairly substantial AI in that, when I have failed miserably at a particular jumping puzzle after some point, the game recognizes my ineptitude, and makes the jumps easier by each attempt. My booty also suffers when I have failed (usually more than twice) at any given jumping puzzle.
is there a buff, a food maybe, that helps with jumping ? My Norn Warrior M (massive) is no good at it.
My Asuran jumps so easily. It feels like he has the same F (force) as my Norn Warrior but only a fraction of the M (mass) to give a greater A (acceleration). I have no idea if the gaming code uses the classic F = M*A physical force but it just feels like it.
Any tips would be most welcome !
thanks guys !
one for Agony Infusion (goes in an agony infusion slot) and one for Magical Infusion which goes in an unused utility infusion slot. I have YET to find any item where these upgrades can be used. I paid a fairly heavy price for them, especially the magic infusion (+20% to Magic Find) which goes in an unused utility infusion slot. Since I have this “investment” I am keen on finding a way to use them.
As I recall they cost a significant amount of Laurels. I was feeling flush at the time and thought they would easily fit into one of my many open upgrade slots but to date, I have yet to find where these upgrades go.
Right now my working theory is that they are for some future upgrade slots that have yet to be created but I have been wrong so many times before that I just don’t know. If anyone can please clue me in I would be most appreciative. Half my kingdom for an answer !
Thanks !

Hayashi, I think your explanation says it best. BTW, I am not one to ignore good work when I see it. This is a good game. By and large, I do endorse the crew and their excellent work making this a very enjoyable and extremely playable game with continuing improvements. One such improvement that I will mention are the new green arrows that guide you in , The Grove, for example. For this, I say Bravo ! Arena Net !
And no, Im not hurting for silver or gold. Arena Net privately knows that all too well.
Happy Sunday everyone !
It is part of the LS2 storyline. Mordremorth is attracted to the way points on ley lines. Hence, many on Ley lines are disrupted.
it was always this way in the game. If you can’t afford a silver for a WP, something is wrong.
OMG, you’re right ! Its the Eternal Alchemy at work ! Tyria is woven with diabolical Dragons and Pale Trees that scheme to disrupt linear travel ! Why didn’t I think of this ?
Or , it could be just a money grab.
You know them. You hate them. You are vaguely conscious of their necessity but you still despise them. Here is what really eats me. I check the map to see if the Temple of Balthazar is uncontested (’cause I want Obby Shards) and it typically always shows uncontested if I am in Lions Arch for example. Unless I am located in the Straits of Devastation which is rarely if ever any more, I will typically blow several silver daily, travelling to this site to buy my Obby Shards only to get redirected to the Rally Way Point.
I am short a few silver, I am in a map that I don’t want to be and just a little bit miffed that Anet seems to be actually stooping to a new low to grab money rather than fix this small programming “oversight”. Come on Arena Net you can finesse our money better than that. I know you can. I see you do it every day.
I know its a bit like gloating………but hell, I paid 800 Gems for it (Mystical Dragon Finisher) and I want to be able to show it off when I want to show it off ! Which is another way of saying my kill / be killed ratio is not as large as I like.
You can show off your default Finisher by typing “/rank” followed by return. Is there a way to show off any of the other Finishers such as the Mystical Dragon ?
