Guild Wars 2

Once ladders are implemented, ranks will be retired. The original finishers will not be earnable again.

I am not sure about this, I think a lot of people will be angry about this. I am slowly ranking up, and one of the main reasons is the permanent titles and finishers I can get with ranks, to show other players I am good PvPing. I bet a lot of people is working hard to get the dragon finisher for the same reason, and they will lose the opportunity to get it.

Tome of Knowledge … available for purchase with both glory and gold.

Please be careful with this. What that means exactly? glory AND gold? you will need both? I mean, could this be exploitable, and someone with a lot of gold level up to 80 in a minute?

I need this too, I can’t use the ones in PvP area because of differences of traits in PvE, and equipment.

Hi. I like Warden weapon skins, I use sets of that skins, but I recently got a scepter version and it look too “horizontal” instead of “vertical” in my character. I have multiple screenshots but the one in the wiki clearly shows the problem. Look worst in human male.

I only agree with instant level 80, if you can do it with the same class (profession) you already have at 80. Example: If you have level 80 Warrior, you can instant level 80 all warriors you want in that account.

I want GW1 using the same IP blocking GW2 use, requiring email authentication of different IPs, with a launcher that remember the user/password, even the phone authenticator.

The reason of this is I am not playing GW1, and that account is “there”, linked to GW2, and everything that happens to GW1 account, could affects GW2.

One good example is Blizzard, all games (Diablo3, WoW, Starcraft2) use the same account and same security, IP block, authenticator, phone SMS.

One additional security step I would love is user ability to temporarily block an account. That way I can intentionally block my GW1 (or GW2) account while I am not playing for a long time. That way no one will ever try to “hack” you, because is impossible.

(This is not a complaint, it’s just a suggestion of something I think will help both, players and arenanet)

Better reduce the cost of this:

I don’t quite get your point. This suggestion would also help in moving the perma bank contract from one alt to another.

If the cost is reduced, or they add alternative way to get it, you could have one for every character.

Disgusting? Lol okaaaayy. Then being a computer security expert and I’m also sure knowledgable on how to convey information to people who may have only the very basic concepts of computer terminology, how about you tell us the word that covers the concept “your computer was accessed by a malicious outside person” that is pithy, clear and immediately understandable to everyone at all levels of understanding.

It’s just my personal opinion. I know saying “You was hacked” is a easy way to make people understand.

Astral Projections.7320:

Also remembering that not everyone who posts here is a native English speaker and this also will limit what they are understanding you to say.

I am not native english speaker. Even when I think my english is good enough, sometimes is hard to express myself in english, and could make some people misunderstand me.

It’s very easy to know if a link is legit or not, just hover the mouse to see real link, or right click copy link (depends of the browser or mail client), it could says: “guildwars2.com”, but really go to “guildwars2.com.?????.net”, using guildwars2.com as subdomain. Thats why the browsers like Firefox, IE, now marks in black the real address of the website you are visiting (on the address bar).

……I am not talking about terminology, it’s just a way to say this issues are not always a customer/player fault, like everybody insist.

…if someone accesses your account without your permission (no matter HOW they do it), it is generically know as “hacking”…

Exactly. It’s just disgusting to me when someone say: “You was hacked”, to every single person that post in this session of the forums.

BTW, the ticket is 34 hours old right now, and only got the first automatic response.

khani.4786:

I can’t log into my support account.
I have an account as I’ve submitted tickets in the past.
I’ve tried all the passwords I’ve ever used with Guild Wars.
The reset password https://guildwars2.zendesk.com/access/help here does not work.
I’ve asked for an email to be sent so I can reset password but I never get an email.

I want to submit a ticket about a possible refund for my two extra consortium harvesting sickles and two extra molten pickaxes, but I can’t because I can’t log into support.

Thank you.

I am having the exact problem with the GW1 version of support (just remove the “2” in the above address) Why not “fix” that and save the confusion to people?

My ticket was not answered today. The ticket is (#2570) notice is GW1 (not GW2) support ticket. I post this here because can’t log in GW1 forums.

Also, I am having a problem with zendesk.com support system, say I am already registered, but I don’t know password, if I try to reset, no email is send. The only email I got was the Request Recieved one. All related domains are in white list.

SandraSolace.7682:

It might be in accordance with your line of work. But here taking over an account with ill will is called hacked. No offense, but terminology is not the issue here.

I am not talking about terminology, it’s just a way to say this issues are not always a customer/player fault, like everybody insist.

I already summited a ticked about this, let see what happens.

About “hacking”, if someone knows your email and password (that got with a keylogger) and login in your account, that is not hacking, that’s logging. Hacking is when an exploit or vulnerability is used to enter that account, and that is out of player hands. There are many ways to compromise a game account, and is not always the player fault that have millions of virus in the computer or logged in a website that is not the official domain, like most people think.

Astral Projections.7320:

They don’t close accounts for inactivity.

googled this thread
Gaile Gray
ArenaNet Support Liaison
We will keep your account safe and ready for you to rejoin us in Tyria once you return.
(Snip)

No one on the forum will be able to tell you what happened. Only support can do so. Your options are to contact support and have them tell you or to let the account go.

Gaile Gray confirms “GW2” accounts are not “deleted” for inactivity, that’s a good thing, but my question is about GW1, and blocking.

About posting in forums, support people browse this forums and answers questions many times, and also maybe other players could share similar issues. That’s the purpose of this section of the forums, I think.

Astral Projections.7320:

It was banned. Either you did something or someone else did. Those are the options.

Inactivity, that’s what I did.

I guarantee no one has access to my email, and my GW password never leaved my computer ever (excluding the game client that obviously should be using secure connection to login server). I am paranoid, believe me.

EDIT: Suggestion for ArenaNet, please add IP blocking to GW1, and the ability to block an account if you are not using it.

Maybe if my GW1 account is blocked is more secure for my GW2 account, so I could forget this, but you know, I love my GW1 account even if I don’t play anymore, thousands of hours invested.

Astral Projections.7320:

You will have to contact support as they are the only ones who can answer your question. Top of the page then make a request at top right.

And no, they don’t block for inactivity. My guess is you were hacked. You might want to run a security check, including checking for keyloggers. They might have access to your email so you might want to change the password for that after you are sure your computer is clean.

I am expert on computer security, is part of my job (I am not trying to be arrogant, sorry if this look like that). So, nothing is wrong with my computer or email. As I said, my GW2 account is fine, plus who is “hacking” GW1 accounts today? for what purpose? come on.

(I added ticket number in a post below, not answered yet)

Hi. I have GW1 and GW2 linked, I have a LOT of time without playing GW1, I tried to login today (on GW1) to check something and is “blocked by account issue error 45” or something like that.

Is GW1 account blocked by inactivity or something? I don’t want to contact support for this because the accounts link, so I don’t want my GW2 account affected.

EDIT; Tried to login GW1 forums “https://forum.guildwars.com/login” to post the issue there and got this message: Login Error: Banned.

Last time I logged in GW1 (long ago) everything was fine, my password is insanely long and hard btw, and my GW2 account is fine.

I suggested long time ago to add the queue to the game launcher, so you don’t even need to launch the game, and the launcher will popup a message when ready.

Also suggested about the game remembering your account so you can disconnect, crash or change character, and your slot will be remembered for some minutes, so you don’t need to queue again. Also, the queuing in all maps at the same time.

Please, make the game/server remember my account/character for some minutes when I disconnect/crash so I can reenter an instance, like a map in WvW, or a main (not overflow) instance of a PvE map.

soulcakeduck.7036:

karma trains and in a group of 5

That’s almost impossible on T1, here 99,99% of time is zerg, if you run out there with a 5 people team you will be wiped miserably.

In a zerg, capturing a tower, I was in a ram (I dropped) all the way from 100% door to 0% door, no credit. This achievement need to be reworked, and patched. aka. reduce the amount of damage needed to get the credit (if that is the way it works)

JaredKincade.9761:

Week 2 = BG SOR = easy week for JQ
Week 3 = SOR JQ = easy week for BG
Week 4 = JQ BG = easy week for SOR
Week 5 = SOR BG = easy week for JQ
Week 6 = SOR JQ = easy week for BG

This part looks fair to me, excluding another JQ BG is needed (to gives SOR another easy one)

JaredKincade.9761:

Week 1 = SOR JQ BG = easy week for TC
Week 7 = SOR JQ BG = easy week for SOR

This part is contradictory, it’s a typo?, I don’t get it. Why the same exact match is easy for TC 1st and for SOR 2nd? both are easy for TC, but doesn’t matter because TC is not going to win. So week 1 and 7 are completely irrelevant to this thread.

Edit: About the title of the thread:

JQ 3 easy weeks in schedule, SOR 1 and BG 1?

Should be: 2 easy for BG, 2 easy for JQ, and 1 easy for SOR.

What’s up with the floating text above the head of player when chatting? I am imagining things or it was removed of the game?

EDIT: Oh! you reseted my chat options with update! omg.

Dand.8231:

Finally got into WvW after a 2 hour Queue, only to be slammed with SUCH horrific lag that I can barely even play.

What good is a stunbreaker if it takes 6 seconds to activate?!

I was killed having 10 seconds of invulnerability (Endure Pain + Defy Pain + Sure Footed) at 3 steps of door, so you can imagine.

I have unplayable lag, the worst ever (+1 year) My character random teleport, need to spam a skill many times to do something.

Last week I was ok even in 3 way full zerg SM fights, I was happy, because I am not from USA so my latency is bigger.

dynafire.5196:

I really think this patch may have messed something up.

I think that too.

Josh Davis.6015:

Hey Sevelniumus,

Good catch. I forwarded this to the team.

Thanks!

I posted this bug 12 hours before the creation of this thread.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Defy-Pain-Sure-Footed-bug-Warrior

BTW, is already fixed? I don’t want to test again.

I confirm this, but this is an old bug, not from this patch.

I agree with this, you can hide it, but then you will be hiding all game messages too.

Defy Pain is not triggering at all if I have Sure-Footed trait (if not it works normally)

Just add a new condition that affects bosses only, that make a condition to do more damage when more than one player is applying the same condition (only if condition is already at 25 stacks), and of course, don’t make enemies immune to all conditions (aka. don’t force people to change builds)

I think ArenaNet use more time and money in PvE first, because that’s the mode that gives more money to them, it’s very logical. They should find a way to make players spend more time, and gems, in PvP, and the developing for PvP will skyrocket, I bet.

I have a simple idea that for sure will make (at least me) play more PvP. Don’t limit the laurels, allow to get 2 laurels in a day, one in PvE and one in PvP, same for monthly.

Jade Quarry is the America server with more wins on Guild Wars 2 history, here:

http://mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/medals

Plus the only server (if I remember correctly) that never touched the 4th position in ranks, always 1st, 2nd or 3rd in all Guild Wars 2 history. That means, Jade Quarry is the only real T1 server, stayed there forever.

We are winning versus BG and SoR (at the same time) at the moment.

Bye.

EDIT: Forgot to say, JQ is not dependent of 1 or 2 guilds to stay in T1, we have a lot of small guilds, you can’t say [insert guild tag here] is coming, when you see a JQ zerg. So, if an important guild leave, we don’t drop to the last position in ranks in one week.

I can’t stop laughing (my main is a warrior)

I agree with the part of the waypoint “bug”, that’s actually an EXPLOIT, in the game for +1 year.

I imagine is not as easy as buying/renting better server hardware? or internet with more bandwidth, less latency? if that is not the solution, I wonder where the bottleneck causing this lag is?

WvW should have a different game client (.exe) seriously, same for PvP, that way patches are 100% independent and never affects the other. How you go from WvW to LA for example? easy, you do the same as always, but the game exit and reenter the other client quickly.

I use no food. Unless someone put one in the floor. Still win 9 of 10 fights, in a zerg or not.

The best is (don’t remember name) the one that gives similar effect as Melandru runes.

Instead of adding an ingame option, they just ruined the icon colors for everyone. There are more people with problems to differentiate blue and green, than green/blue and red.

Hahaha! at least you felt what it’s to be a JQ player for some minutes. That ownage, feel good, no? hahaha!

mos.millenium.org will show it on all maps if you have a second monitor.

That should be added to in game maps, not to second monitor. Anyone with a 2nd monitor is now an exploiter?

Seriously? You cannot see which server has captured the new ruins of power of the other borlderlands in map? You must physically go to the borderland to know this?

Chris Barrett.3280:

…..

The attached files are:

• A close-up screenshot of the new Borderlands map showing where the Ruins objectives are located.
• All the Ruins icons in red, blue, green, and neutral colors.

Could you please make the blue icons darker? or rollback to the old colors of icons? this is seriously annoying to me.

NeHoMaR.9812:

Ha! I think is better to just add a LOCK to the golem, so no one can’t drive it until owner UNLOCK it. Like a car. Simple and effective.

And if the owner isnt online when you need them?

Automatically unlock in some minutes?

Actually I don’t want people do GvG on WvW maps. I prefer that good guilds in T1 servers (the servers I play).

But, at the same time, I like the idea of GvG, I think is good some guilds want to fight. ArenaNet could add “custom arenas” for this and problem solved. Actually only one arena would be enough, not need for fancy graphics or anything, just an arena like sPvP ones but with an open field and no capture points, 20vs20 (configurable). // I don’t GvG, just improvising.

Blix.8021:

if you could crit gates then zergs would melt paper gates ridiculously fast

I don’t think so, most people on WvW use Soldier items, that means they only have Power and will be doing very similar damage, maybe a small additional percentage. Only the “glass cannons” players will be doing double damage, that’s OK to me, because being one is a big risk in WvW (that’s what I call balance). Also, the siege/gates HP could be balanced too.

It would only change the meta to more PvD.

That will reveals the attack to enemy (orange swords).

You’re thinking to situational. Some times you want orange swords to pull people off other objectives. Some times your only there for supply damage and orange swords are a non factor. Honestly I don’t think there should be any buff to players to doors. As for other siege like cannons and oil, I’m indifferent. I feel you on how much it sucks to be a condi necro and not be able to do anything worth while to cannons. As for the sPvP comment, they can do what ever, the changes in sPvP don’t have to effect WvW.

Allowing critical damage when I solo kill a ram, or solo kill a cannon would be a start, and will be welcome by most players. My point is not unbalance, but the opposite. Giving Precision players the same damage to siege is balance to me.

BTW, talking about balance, I have another idea, make a fixed damage to siege/gates, so everyone will hit exactly the same damage whatever the stats or weapon.
