Guild Wars 2

Did you check your account OP to see if the Gems arrived,

There was a nasty glitch with the payment system where it told you that an error had occurred and it still charged you and delivered the Gems, this went on for months, I posted about it myself on here, but it went unnoticed,

Some people tried again and again and ended up being charged 2x or 3×.

Above was the one I reported over a year ago, it never got any attention for the most part, when someone complained about 3 months later saying they had been charged several times Gaile did reply to them, but seemed not to grasp the problem,

Of course you could be facing a completely separate bug, but I linked it just incase its the same bug coming up again.

Its pretty clear the mystic forge would go supernova and destroy all of Tyria.

So as im sure some have realised there are quite a few AP’s being achieved during the beta, but as beta characters don’t keep anything what happens to these,

Also are there AP’s being unlocked points that then cannot be unlocked when HoT comes out, or do they get reset????

I don’t want to take away from HoT by achieving a bunch of the AP’s that come along with it.

You can get Superior, the drop rate is just really really low.

You should ask this over on the Chinese client

Guild Wars 2 launched in China May 15 2014, which means Chinese players lots a great deal of daily Achievement Points. The cap for dailies is 15k and around August the first NA/EU players should reach it. The Chinese players miss nearly 2/3 of the available daily points so I doubt anyone on the Chinese servers has more points than those in EU/NA. Unless of course the Chinese version has many more achievements than the EU/NA version but I doubt it.

The CAP should be raised with HoT to 20k, if you start restricting peoples rewards etc, they stop logging in, this has been proven time and time again, they need to put a dynamic cap on it,

I personally don’t think it should be limited at all, all they did was bow down to the people crying they could never catch up, even though they only log in once a week.

They have no excuse not to also fix achievements for WvW players, the ones that ask for millions of events etc, this should have been fixed 2 1/2 years ago, it needs to be fixed for HoT, because all I really see in that top dev post are excuses why WvW players should buy HoT now, and then you may not deliver on what you have said, (thinking of the Boarder Land test feedback thread here) I hope you take note of the bad and not just the good.

There was way more money dropped into the sPvP in GW1, and way bigger tournaments, but as others have said, the PvP scene in GW1 was far superior to GW2, more game modes, better party make ups, you actually had to kind of relay on what your party members where doing, battles had more depth, now it just seems to be run in teleport/go invis, backstab, gank, honestly I find it boring.

In saying that, I feel that they are still trying hard to reach the E-Sports so they need to have big rewards for teams who compete until they reach that goal, because if they don’t, they would not have any outside viewing of sPvP.

They should have stuck to the same format as GW1 for skills/ skillbars, weapons and team setups, the 5 man mode party and same skill set for 3 years is what has held them back.

I don’t think Anet will tell us what is needed for the new Armor/Legendary’s as it would cause a massive market shift, and it would allow some people / guilds to dominate the market prices.

If you are indeed on a Windows 32bit OS, you should try turn down some of your ingame GFX settings, so its not so pressing on the system,

Keeping in mind for all those who are shouting its a 32bit OS issue, this error does occur on 64bit also, just a lot less often.

Also, are you gaming on a laptop of PC, as laptops tend to have shared memory for GFX cards which can add to this problem.

AFAIK – you just cannot log in, I don’t think they email you to tell you that they have banned an account,

If you think you’ve been banned unfairly or cannot log in, you should contact support directly.

Just gonna drop this in here

Given that this was originally posted year ago, and was recently necro’d and nothing has been done, I wouldn’t hold out any hope of it ever changing.

Farming Flats.5370:

All I hear is ‘’ I deserve to get all free because i’m a whiner and a lazy person’’

I made 11 legendary and i have done word 100% 8 times ( wvw map included )

Roll up your sleeves and go to work.

So im a whiner and a lazy person, ive crafted quite a few more legendary’s than you, and more map completions than you, so I think its safe to say, ive already rolled my sleeves up and did the work.

However I DID NOT say that they had to remove the reward from map completion just that they add a different way to get them, most people who have played from the very start do not want to still be mapping the game to beable to make a legendary weapon in a few years time.

So, as anyone who has ever crafted a Legendary knows you need a gift of exploration, and anyone who has been playing the game for along time will more than likely have these, and several of them,

In this case I am one of them people who has done map completion several times over, but each time it gets more and more boring to do, I can understand why they did it in the beginning but going forward espically after HoT is released, maybe they need to look at a different method of getting these, maybe 1 map completion will allow you to go to an NPC and get a new Gift ( restrict it to 1 a month if needed )

With future updates to the game and possible expansions ( Crystal Desert etc ) we may see more and more Legendary’s and I don’t really want to have to delete a 3+ year old char just to go map the same boring world to get 2 of these Gifts, or be forced to buy a new char slot just to go map.

If this was covered in a BLOG post about Hot, I apologise for wasting time here.

RSLongK.8961:

sorry now i got your question.
The point is that WAS a crit % before, and they changed it to ferocity to nerf power builds.

How’d that work out for them, everything is not P/P/F

Even if they nerfed it now, and made something else the highest DPS, everything would just change over to it,

This is why I think they are trying to force gear checks on the new fractals, to force players away from P/P/F

Its clearly something a dev put there when testing/making the map, like an Easter Egg.

I guess it depends on what you asked them, I recently contacted support and they replied with 2 auto reply emails, and a real GM reply explaining what the 2 auto replies where about, I cannot fault the support team.

Well, that’s because big servers used to go in there and farm each other for the 250k kill title, and used to get loot aswell, then a few people cried about it, so in true style, Anet came in and turned off all the drops in that area, and now no one goes there.

They probably would have been better just removing the zone completely, to save future posts about it being dead.

This would be great, I think it would be handier for EU players playing on NA, I don’t find server time such an issue when playing on EU

Lian Olsam.9541:

I m not just talking about gw2 but gw3 etc etc

Oh I wouldn’t worry about that, by the time ( if they do ) make a GW3, DX17 will be out.

So are they just going to announce that WvW is going to merge over to the Mega Server setup, as from watching streams etc this map is way to big for even T1 WvW servers, even on a reset night I usually only see a Queue of around 50-100 on a T1 match up.

Given the size of it, its clear the map is designed for the K-Train eotm group. Kinda sad really as it does seem to have some nice features.

The server I play on, wants open fields battles, not more siege humping behind walls.

If they need to look for ideas for Fractals, they should make all the missions from GW1 into fractals, some of them could be tricky enough.

Its funny, when I suggested this nearly 18+months ago I got shot down so kitten the forums, as people where all shouting about we need more people in the maps not less, this will take people away from open world content bla bla bla bla bla.

I think they should give the option to do this as a 5 man content, in HM, they could do it via a portal in LA, where you tell an NPC what zone you want to do etc,

But, certain events would not spawn, no world bosses, and no massive meta events, as this will lead to farming of said events which is not a good idea, as people will just roll x zone go do event, leave, re-roll.

This was posted several pages ago and seems to be overlooked,

https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/198757/Guild_Wars_2.png

This bug is still ingame.

It couldn’t be, as a guild mate who has played Ranger since the pre launch does not get this problem, it seems to be that anyone.

When the patch went live on Tuesday, anyone who was online or logged in after the patch gets this bug.

Anyone who did not log in until after the hot fix, does not seem to be affected, I have a friend who does not get this glitch at all, and today was the first time in a week they have logged in.

oh wow that’s pretty insane, seems like something that could be abused if it was to also happen in sPvP.

This isn’t the game causing this, this is a windows 10 issue, ive read several reports of people complaining about sound cards and sound issues when they updated to windows 10,

I would check drivers for your sound card etc first.

So are we getting a patch to remove the icon to say we need to learn skills again, it tells me everytime I use a WP that I need to relearn my skills, I know its a GFX glitch from the client side, but still kind of distracting.

Yes you can, just copy the entire GW2 folder from your current drive and drag it onto the SSD when you install it,

Make sure your SSD is in a Sata3 port ( 6gb/s )

Then just update or remake the shortcut.

Does it not seem like they are giving with 1 hand and taking away with another here, it seems like they are dumbing fractals down for the causal players here, but making out its really for people who want a challenge,

By making “scales” they can just destroy builds that people would run, this backs onto the question about how will Agony Resist work now when you force people to change builds/armor stats.

To me it feels like they are locking you into this new legendary grind, oh you want a new legendary well then you MUST invest in the new Pre-Cursor crafting, then you MUST do all the high end fractals etc etc, and you MUST jump threw any other hoops we can think of,

They should have left it 2 ways, 1 which is pre cursor crafting for those who want to take their time and work towards it.

And open world drops for Pre’s which can be traded, forcing people to play a certain way its crazy, it only allows some people to control a market for mats that can be traded, unless of course we will be seeing the likes of T6 mats being made account bound too, seeing as they are going to be dropping as zone rewards,

Its all these restrictions which has stopped me from getting HoT, seems like its 1 step forward ( with what the community want, IE pre cursor crafting ) and 2 steps back by putting it behind a mega pay wall/ grind fest ) this is disappointing.

How is Agony Resist going to work now then, if they make it that you need to change armor stats etc to combat different levels, you will need to roll several armor sets with a lot of AR on each, giving that AR is soul bound to armor/trinkets etc,

This will lead to the introduction of legendary armor.

Hi,

So I see Anet have overhauled the login etc, where I click on My Account at the top, under Security, it has the account name there, are we now able to change this ourselves to a new email address, or do we still have to have support do this,

I didn’t want to play around with it incase I broke something lol.

Thanks

So from todays blog post

Just like all future precursor and legendary items, this precursor will be account bound and can’t be traded—it must be earned.

So does this mean that say I get a random new pre cursor drop from an enemy I cannot sell it, if this is the case it seems stupid, I can understand if I made if via the pre-cursor crafting that it would be account bound, but a drop in the game should never be account bound, as some people may get a weapon drop for a legendary they have no interest in at all.

Also on the back of that, where it says it must be earned, I kinda read that like pre’s will not be dropping and that all new legendarys must be done via the pre cursor hunt…

Sorry if this was covered in a previous blog post.

From looking it up, it does point to hardware failure, CPU/RAM/etc, it does say that if the CPU is overclocked this problem can arise also, but if you are not savvy with troubleshooting hardware you probably will be best to take it to someone who can, esp if it comes to testing hardware.

Note that this can also be caused by software, have you installed anything recently.

Did you update your GFX driver recently, this can be driver related, or very possible a heat issue with your GFX card, you could also try and run the -repair command but im not sure it would help in this case.

I wish they would give us the option too, im near sure we had this option in GW1 to disable the skill description unless we had our edit skill bar open, ( in the case of GW2 this would be the Hero tab )

When you send a ticket to support, you do not have to enter the serial code, that is optional,

Is this a new error, if so, what changed on your system since the last time you played,
Do you run anti-virus etc, there are a few people on these forums that have had the same problems.

What are the specs of your PC,

Have you tried running it as an admin
Do you have anti-virus software ( adware software has been popping up a lot )
Firewall etc.

It is easy to do, but its an exotic so it would have popped up asking you are you sure you want to salvage it, support may not help you with this, they will probably tell you they cannot restore items.

Vayne.8563:

I’ve seen WoW fans carve up WoW as effectively as forum dwellers her carve up Guild Wars 2. Your assertion about WoW forums being better may or may not be true, but then, how the moderation works might be very different there too.

I know quite a few WoW players who have simply stopped playing the game because they can’t stand it. Literally cant’ stand the changes that are made. And this happens every time a new iteration of that game comes out.

The skill trees have been simplified. LFR has taken the challenge out of raids and people who liked raiding before hate it. There have been long periods of imbalance and people complaining about the OP of one or another profession.

Saying that there WoW fan base isn’t chocked full of complaints is simply wrong. In fact, I know very very few WoW players that don’t complain about the game constantly.

And yet WoW still has move active PAYING players per month than GW2 total sales in 3 years, so they cant be all bad,

The problem here I think which has been mentioned is that there does not seem to be a direct link in what the playerbase ( the actual players playing the game want ) and what the devs want the game to be like, and until them 2 sides come together and seriously discuss in the direction they want the game to be going, there will always be this problem, every game suffers from it at some point, the ones who get the balance right survive, the ones that don’t, die a slow death,

For PvE, I don’t think they know where they are going, the nerf long running builds, remove popular traits etc, then fall silent when the wall of hate comes there way, its always been there reaction, just sit in silence, the only time ive seen them come back and actually answer and try to fix something was from the PR nightmare fallout from the HoT, and had that only been kept on these forums, we wouldn’t have gotten that outcome, things like removed loot, nerfed events etc will continue.

Everyone knows that sPvP is where Anet want to be, they want that esports soooo badly, they will bend over backwards to make this game mode work, they will nerf or buff as needed to try and keep this game format alive, its been proven time and time again,

WvW, I think if they could get away with removing this format completely from the game it would be done, im sure everyone has seen the video where the dev said that all WvW players are really PvE players, that says it all, within the next 18 months WvW will be phased out completely from this game, they have no real interest in it, for all those seriously expecting the new map to be all that, get ready for a world of PvE dropped into it.

For me im more frustrated that a game and company ive supported for over 10 years seems hell bent on destroying it, they make changes that do not need to be done, and others that should have been done years ago, then they sit silent, its like we are playing 2 completely different games, I have friends who have left this game and will never return, I have some who now play FF14 and are trying to get me to play it, and honestly with the updates and support that game is getting, its making it hard to resist.

The whole argument about we are all hard working on HoT doesn’t really work, if you don’t have someone on here actively talking to us, you wont have a community left to play your HoT.

Cant say ive seen this exact problem before, but other people have had problems with billing/credit cards etc, sounds like your bank/card issuer might have thought this was a false buy, and blocked payment, or indeed it could just be the address thing,

Normally when it comes to billing issues etc, support are normally pretty fast that fixing the issues.

A lot of guilds do fractals and dungeons, you can join any party below level 10 as you will need agony resistance to go higher, aslong as it matchs your current level or higher you progress.

Hope that answers it. (Quick google search)

Doubt you’ll get the name back since ANet seems to be aware of this word, Heck this is the first time I’ve read that word :O

Yea but here in the real world we don’t all use a random made up urbandictionary

Ive seen char names way way way worse that what the OP had, and they are still running about after being reported.

Actually hes probably right not to touch the mail, given the current replies from Anet it seriously looks like the support person in question isn’t really looking into his account properly and is just seeing the gold, if he returned it, they would probably accuse him of sending the gold aswell as receiving it,

I still think you need to check the logins on your account and change the password to your email etc, as is honestly looks like your account is being used as a 3rd party / middle man, espically given that its happening on a daily basis now.

EDIT: Just looked at the screen shot you posted, you have a mail saying, ACCOUNT WILLL BE SHUT DOWN, please tell us you did not go to any link that mail had, its not from Anet.

Ansau.7326:

Before any nowadays ssd starts to fail from writing capacity, you’ll have changed all your hardware several times and GW2 may not exist.

Agreed, you will have moved onto several other games and a newer computer before you burn out an SSD.

Vavume.8065:

Crapgame.6519:

What makes you think they will? Companies rarely admit they made on error in their ways. I don’t expect this company to be any different. It is in. We either go along and play, or sit it out.

Because Arenanet have a history of making mistakes and then admitting it and fixing it, most recently the whole pre purchase extra character slot they gave out after realizing their mistake, or if you look further back there was also the flame kissed armor issue where people blew up the forums demanding refunds and they also admitted that mistake and corrected it, there has been other times too I just cant remember off hand, but 3 or 4 times over last 3 years they have admitted fault and made corrections, so yeah that’s why…

Technically they didn’t admit to that problem, they had no choice in the matter, because gaming review websites/magazines etc caught wind of the rage hate from the likes of reddit etc, and once word got about it was rapidly becoming a PR nightmare disaster for them, so they had to save face and change it,

Anyway back to the topic on hand, its this continuous silence from Anet that does the damage not the actual event in game itself, the Golem event was badly thought out, there was instant reaction from players of WvW before it went live and it was ignored, they did it anyway, there are glitches from duping the golems, keeping the damage boon outside golems, the icebow golem trick ( LOL )

Sadly im sure when they are sitting there looking at it, they are probably saying but yea look how full WvW is, it must be popular, well that’s because the K-train has moved from EOTM to WvW, and all the WvW guilds ( non PPT ones ) are all taking a week off,

If they could get away with completely nuking WvW as a game format they would, they just don’t care, like others have said if this was in sPvP it would have been hot fixed in an hour.

I must be playing on a different FSP to you then, or our timezones are different,

I left T1 NA to join FSP and the coverage has been great, granted this current match up its been quieter, as well Golem wars is boring against PPT based servers, as you are always going to be going up against 60+ Golems, nearly all of the commanders that I would see online are taking a break this week, as well you wont get the fights in WvW this week.

If its pure roaming you do, you may want to drop down to a lower server.

I personally think we should get AC week, where AC’s have 20,000 range and 500% more damage and each arrow puts 25 stacks of each condition on you. Because this is what you get when a Dev who does not work on or seem to play WvW gets to make the events for WvW.

That’s impressive, I wish I could play an ele better as they seem to be in high demand right now for fractals.

From what I hear the new boarderland seems to be way to big to actually make it across in time to defend anything, it seems to be more designed for PvD so this Golem Event may just be the basework for something bigger,

1 thing is for sure, this event seems to be REALLY popular with the PvD servers, who like to run away from fights, as now they can get in and cap a tower/keep in less than 3 mins,

Some servers may find there rating going up this week and next week be up against servers that will slaughter them without there golems to take objections near instantly.

This really does show how much anet is out of touch with the WvW community, its also why no DEV will come here and give us feedback, but no doubt we will see the usual comment soon " We are reading your feedback, and we will relay it to the team" Id rather they just came out with it and said screw you all we do what we want, you are not important to us.

Its stupid things like this that Anet do, that make me glad I did not buy HoT.
