Guild Wars 2

Alt + Shift + NumLock. It’s a Windows function (No program required) that turns your numpad into a mouse emulator. Not very useful for actually moving the mouse, but I use it to open large stacks of loot bags or essences of luck.

It’s a bit weird so you should just google it, but basically you turn it on, press a certain button to choose a mouse key, (left, middle, or right) and then Numpad 5 can be used to single click and the big [ + ] button can be used to perform a doubleclick function with one press.

If your mouse software can’t bind scroll to a mouse function you can bind it to numpad [+] and you should be able to scroll open bags like a pro.

I’ve never had a problem getting ressed. Only if I died in a really inconvenient place or time. Maybe you died in a really inconvenient place or time where other players feel they might die trying to res you. because of a boss they’re fighting.

Either that or you’re online at a weird time when people who don’t understand how the game works are playing.

Actually you’re not few Plenty of us liked it and made a thread like this. (I did too! :P ) Prepare for your thread to be merged with the super thread!

Also, datamining the Dat revealed an item for airplane mode similar to the bobble head lab!

RuneCrimson.7380:

I would so quit playing if it became permanent I could not run around like that all the time. Its straight stupid.

Lol I’m not saying make it forcibly permanent; I’m saying add a /plane emote where your character runs around with plane arms (maybe with sound? ) until you get in combat or do another emote or /plane again.

DarkWasp.7291:

Oh my….that box shall be mine! OH MY YES!

So we have bobblehead laboratory items after the bobblehead April Fool’s joke…

I’m thinking it’d be nice if we could /plane out of combat. I immensely enjoy running around with plane arms…. immensely….

Dieallknow.1387:

anyone find the achievement for dive bombing in la!

Is this a thing? Can someone please tell me how to get this achievement if it really exists? :O :O

Thank goodness you people grasping for reasons to criticize ANet for every choice they make are hanging out on the forums instead of in-game. Glad you’re nowhere near me.

There are a few choices ANet made that I would criticize. But if I was criticizing every small thing like ya’ll are I’d come to the conclusion that the game is not for me and just go do something else.

Given how many terrorist bombs go off in large crowds every year, I’d say the engineer class is the most insensitive thing to ever be put in the game.

So having airplane arms is insensitive because of a plane crash? That’s ridiculous. There were probably 100’s of people stabbed in the city the weeks leading up to the game’s release. That doesn’t mean having daggers in the game is insensitive.

Two vaguely related things an insensitive joke does not make. You’ve gotta deal with your grief the best you can, but don’t blame some random game for the horrible situations they played no part in.

You can use paper or your computer to keep a ledger of your expenses. You’ll just have to keep track of your money in your own way.

If you want to roleplay as something other than the norm than just do that. No one else but you will see what human god you chose at character creation.

I understand you can’t give an exact time for when this goes live, but will we have at least a month to resolve our personal storylines if we are stuck in the chapter 7/8 portion that will cause issues upon update?

If not a month, then at least a week or two weeks?

Legendary armor ftw!

IDEA: Instead of creating armors for each weight class, legendary armor can just change weight class depending on what character equips it, like how any class can wear various outfits. So no need to make separate armor skins/models for each weight classs!

Like the radiant armor skins are now!

That way any legendary armor they create is useful to every character. That’d put a lot less stress the dev team. They could have either one legendary armor set or maybe 2 or 3. But if all of them can be equipped by any character.

WEEEEE!

There are MANY differences. Every race runs differently and there are different standing around animations and many of the emotes are different. I’m not sure how many of the combat emotes are different, but defiintely the feel of your character as it’s moving around and out of combat are much different.

They’re going to release info about specializations on April 1st. Just a couple days to go!

I call it the sleepy matrix bug. I discovered another player doing this once and couldn’t resist trying for myself.

Watch a few videos on how the Revenant looks and try to get a feel for it’s playstyle. Then make a guardian and take it to sPvP and play it in competitive arenas to get a feel for it’s playstyle. If you like the guardian, stick with it. If you like both, well you will likely get another character slot when you buy the expansion.

I’m pretty sure the article said that journey-acquired precursors and the legendaries you make with them will be account bound. That means they won’t enter the market.

I don’t think it’s clear whether tradeable precursors will change in price. BUT there are other items on top of the precursor (tier 6 mats, for instance) that are used in crafting.

The overall cost of an account-bound legendary will be lower since you won’t have to buy the precursor, but this lowered cost will increase the amount of people who feel they can afford a legendary. That will be more demand for the same supply of the non-precursor ingredients, so the prices of those items may very well go up unless ANet provides an increased supply of these items. Such as rewards via the journey quest reward track.

They said they were looking into an alternative. Was it a long time ago? Yes. Are there more important things to work on in the game? Yes.

Despite how many people have this complaint, there are also a lot of other things people are wanting fixed. This is a low-priority issue, how I see it. Plenty of people are still going on playing the game engineer or otherwise with the backpacks the way they are.

They have teams working on all sorts of bugs and new content. You can want a thing, and that’ls okay, but try and step back and realize where your issue stands on the long list of priorities.

Does it suck that your problem isn’t a high priority? Yes. But that’s the way it is so you need to form realistic expectations about when they get this resolved.

If there are words like the F word you don’t like, the chat filter should be blocking them for you. If people are bypassing the chat filter, I think you can eithe report them or open up a support ticket to say a word is not being filtered properly.

If people are saying hateful things, you can report them. If they are harassing people in any way, whether in a racist/sexist way or just a deliberately mean way just report them for “verbal abuse”. It does get looked into.

Appearance is the big money maker for ANet so I doubt they would ever sell unlimited transmutes.

However if they did, I would DEFINITELY buy it. Just putting it out there. :P

Yeah you seem to be either accidentally using a mouse function like right click or double click or hitting the “interact” hotkey (default F) sometimes.

You can take that hat off, by the way.

That armor is purely for NPCs. The norn have a LOT of cool town armor that we can’t wear

What are you even asking for?

It sounds like you’re asking for a different version of the “Defiant” buff and/or the new defiance bar they are going to add.

There’re already two systems in place that achieve what you seem to be asking for…

Precursor rewards system not including 4 easy cheesy maps does not impede your “play the way you want” desires.

If you are spending a lot of time in starter zones, the “way you want” to play is already an unprofitable one.

Your request is like asking to get world completion points by playing sPvP. Play the way you want, but each way you play has different rewards.

I can’t believe you made a thread complaining that you can’t get precursor/legendary rewards from Queensdale. How very unimportant this thread is.

Well good to know someone who got the opportunity to participate in the beta has no appreciation for that exclusive privilege.

I use my ranger for PvE stuff a lot. Having a pet to distract all the mobs is nice. And with traits your bow skills recharge pretty fast.

UnknownRH.4592:

Thief has a lot of gap closer utility and with f1, signet to shadow step to target and shadow step itself used both to get away and get close to target. If rifle is the new weapon for thief it will be interesting to see how they rework thiefs traits, utilities and f1 skills to sync with a long range dps role for thief. If this is the amount of diversity we will get with professions I would love that. Besides I was personally inclined towards a GS fro thief as I really want to see my Belinda GS skin on my thief working like a ninja but oh well maybe in some near future.

That’s a good point you make.

The class F1-F4 skills for each class might be totally different for some or all of the specializations. Thief specialization won’t be a “thief” but something else, so it would make sense to change out steal for something else.

Hmmz….

I’m preparing to make Predator but will wait to see how things work with precursors before I start combining the components. If I can do an epic quest to get The Hunter I’d much rather do that than buy it off TP.

Even without fractals the ascended amulets/rings/accessories have the highest stats. Go for ascended amulets and then if you need money go for tier 6 crafting material bags and sell those off.

If you’re going for the trinkets, go into World vs. World and use the vendors there. They required less laurels but you have to have tokens that you get from participate in World vs. World. Still a better deal.

And for accessories your cheapest bet is to find a guild that does guild missions. You can get guild commendations from them and use those in addition to laurels to unlock accessories. other wise you have to use laurels and “Globs of Ectoplasm” which are quite expensive.

It takes literally 30 days to craft exotic celestial armor since you can only create a charged Quartz Crystal once a day per account and you need 30 for 6 pieces of armor.

All they need to do is not not time-gate charged quartz crystals or make some other alternative that doesn’t take 30 days. Just yesterday I thought I would like to make some exotic celestial armor after I’ve just crafted some for another character and I’ll need to wait 27 days for 27 more charged quartz crystals. >.<

The green is harder to read for me. And it seems the same for others. Please change it back or give people the option of colors if the green is really better for some people. It glows at my eyes and is difficult to discern.

When you make accessibility changes to the UI please ad toggles or options or something. This green text is horrible for people with eye issues like me…

Hoping for thief rifle. I haven’t gone for a legendary before but I’m trying to go for The Predator so my covops armor thief can have a proper extremely loud rifle. My warrior and engineer just wouldn’t be worthy of such a marvelous thing.

I think thief gets rifle if for no other reason than that only two classes can use rifle atm. They need more rifle action!

April fools day will be that thief specialization is Commando. And then the real joke will be that it’s not a joke and the exact same info gets released later in the year.

Guild Wars 1 is fun and worth buying if you’re getting it to enjoy the game.

If you’re getting it to get HoM points, it’s not worth the trouble. It’s a nice bonus to have some extra skins and minipets, but not worth the effort of getting HoM points unless you’re going to be enjoying the game in the process.

Okay I’m looking for a specific example of what class/build can kill an engineer in a reasonable amount of time.

I’ve been on a lot of random matchups and whenever there’s a tanky engineer it almost always seems to take a long time to kill no matter who is attacking it.

I know how to kill an engineer. I’m wondering what build can kill an engineer without it taking forever. I can kill a guardian faster than I can kill an engineer.

Are there any builds on any class that can kill a tanky engineer in a regular amount of time instead of a horribly slow time?

I don’t have trouble killing engineers, but I do have trouble with it taking forever while they sit there and contest the point. >.<

Is there any class that can take an engineer to school without it taking forever? Ele maybe?

Yes remake the thing that you haven’t fully revealed yet. Also please scrap the 6th playable race, because it’s way out of line with the game lore. And you need to drastically rethink the direction you’re going with the 2nd expansion.

If there is a patch that never gets documented, there are plenty of reasons to not be clear about what was changed.

Ya’ll are talking about ANet sneaking around your backs but what reason would the company that controls everything about the game need to sneak when it comes to altering the game?

Whether it’s a nerf or a buff an exploit fix, whatever they change they’re doing to try and keep the game working well so we’ll keep playing.

They used to delay patch notes in GW1 because if it was an exploit, telling people about the exploit before the game actually forced you to restart resulted in people racing to take advantage of the exploit as much as they could before the game kicked them out.

IEximius.9204:

Gotta love the constant undocumented changes, even though updates/patches are happening right in front of our faces.

SOMETIMES even, your patch sizes dont even correspond to your patch notes that only have one string of text for your update.

Doesn’t make any sense, why are you hiding and ghostfixing things? this is how things break.

I think it must be a conspiracy. That’s the only explanation for the devs not constantly holding our hands and whispering in our ears.

No rational person could disagree. Conspiracy all the way!

They should bring in the mini-games they were planning before launch and set them up in the HotM lobby so people can play in the arcade while they wait for queue!

I have no issue with rangers. You just need to adapt your build and playstyle to the sPvP meta. Rangers adapted their build to take advantage of the weakness of whatever build you’re running. Now adapt YOUR build to incorporate some ranger counter.

Harvest.2506:

Booms.3952:

if i knew the top players on the leaderboards would be rewarded right now I probably wouldve farmed my way to at least top 50 considering im already top 75ish so who cares

That’s actually what I did and now I don’t even get anything.

You have a chance to get two pieces of armor you probably almost have! wowza!

Any hardcore PvPers probably have all the Glorious Armor unlocked. The top 10 and top 25 player rewards are completely unmotivating. Why bother trying for top 10 when you get llama at top 500!?!

I was hoping they’d be nice enough to add a new reward track with some of the armor skins they discontinued for no reason :S

Every time I reskin my thief’s armor I remember how very locked and unavailablethe Stalwart shoulder skin is. :S It’s the perfect shoulder piece for almost all my armor combos.

Not sure why the OP posted a picture of the thing they are asking for… The picture shows you’ve already gotten what you’re requesting, no?

No one else mentioned that bubble chat text is green instead of black? Didn’t see it on the list.

It’s difficult to read medium tone green on white. Might as well not be a chat bubble it makes me want to avoid reading it so much. NPC chat bubbles still have black text.

I’d gleefully run dual shields on guardian all the time if it was a thing. The autoattack can be a light shield bash combo. Third attack blocks/reflects incoming damage while executing or something. :P

I hope it is. I think this specialization system is all they’ll need to bring more diversity to playstyle without totally turning over the balance of the now 9 classes.

Indeed, if you’ve hardly put any time into the game you might as well delete your characters and switch servers to be with your friend so you CAN play World vs. World together.

If there area few items you particularly value you can put them in your account bank and they will remain there even after deleting all your characters.

If you’ve put as little time into the game as you’ve said, you should totally just delete your characters and swap to Crystal Desert with your friends. It’s not necessary to play with them in all other aspects, but you might as well!

Any recommendations for keybinds? I’ve altered my keybinds to suit normal play, so my skills aren’t set to 1234567890 like the default.

Do you use 1234567890 for your skills or something else?

It’s armor, and it’s not the Ice Diadem. It will have at least one dye channel.
