Dont remember it…It’s being stored on your pc somewhere.You do not want someone to find it.Just remember your password and put it in manually each time to be safe.
As much as I don’t want people to find, it’s a huge pain in the hindquarters to input the password everytime coupled with email authentication. I don’t care about security at this point, I know the risk, I just want a feature to work fine on my machine. Besides, if someone managed to get my machine, they can install a keyloagger and then remember password will be THE lifesaver
Indeed, the only useful human elite skill is Hounds of Balthazar.
Hounds of Balthazar are severely underpowered. They are basically two Lesser Fire Elementals with half the duration and 4 times the cooldown.
They can’t withstand a few attacks from spiders in Ascalonian Catacombs
The “remember password” function doesn’t work from day one. I got my copy of GW2 client from my buddy, copied it off his external drive. I figured that it’s no problem as it helps keeping my account safe, but lately I feel quite annoyed (my password is quite long, and my ISP’s nature forces me to authorize login every time).
I tried to use the -repair command line for a different problem, but it certainly didn’t fix it. Quick google search reveals it seems to work for most people. Anything I can do to rectify this problem? Short of re-downloading the whole client? Because I don’t want to redownload the whole client
Rez an ally in 3-4 seconds? Are you sure you’ve passed the alcohol test? Last time I tried to rez my ally IN THE MIDST OF BATTLE, it takes a good more than 3-4 seconds. And don’t even get me started on the self-heal skill.There’s a reason it has 40 seconds cast time.
Resurrecting someone requires you to not do anything at all in the meantime. If you think you can resurrect anyone without someone harassing your rump off, clearly we play in different servers.
It depends on the ally that is downed an the person reviving. There are a large amount of traits and stats related to this, but yes you can revive someone in 3-4 seconds.
Off the top of my head, Ele’s Arcana trait improves your revive speed by a whopping 10%. If what you say is true that there are enough traits to actually offset the entire revive speed reduction, it only affects certain jobs with certain builds and certain levels.

snip…Any way you look at it……it’s the players expectations that are out of whack…..not the systems in place currently. While they could probably be adjusted slightly, they aren’t SO broken that they need a complete overhaul.
And what happens when the majority of your players expectations are out of whack? You know the ones that supplement the income of the game by buying gems?
Blame the players all you want instead of the design, i’m sure that’ll get you to the 2 year mark you set up initially for the average player base you lost a year ago.
Hopefully you don’t represent anets outlook. That’s all i got.
Actually, I’ve seen plenty of games that allows players to buy in-game stat-boosting equipments for real cash. I never play all of them again, because rich kids with cash but no brains start pumping out money so much their character becomes instant god and they essentially steamrolled the other players.
So far, gems only allow you to buy things that cannot directly affect the gameplay: appearances, portable merchants, that sort of thing. I like it, it means everybody is in the same ground. True, you can trade gems for gold, but the point is, you can’t outright buy the stuff with gems.
About the supply of precursors, well, it’s for another thread.
I’m not going to argue with you that it takes a long time to rez someone once they are downed, because I know for a fact it is surprisingly fast, even “in the midst of battle” CD’s are irrelevent when you only need to use an escape skill once to get out of the danger zone and get a rez. Thieves have two escapes, so that is irrelevant also.
Do you agree that it should be a viable tactic for eles to suicide in front of doors before mist forming inside? If so, would you care to eleborate?@Gaurdian, please go into more detail as to WHY downed states are important in WvW, rather than just stating yes.
At this point I have to admit that you might’ve played an entirely different game. I have tried to rez people in WvW so many times I know for a fact that it’s not “surprisingly” fast. In fact, it could be surprisingly slow.
What I would like to ask is, what can an ele do the moment they jump out of the gate? In order to keep the “Mist Form Escape” tactic viable, one has to stay very close to the gate. One milisecond too late and you have to donate money to Armorepair Guild, otherwise they’re outmanned and they’re screwed already. A defending staff ele can’t do much already (Line of Sight problem) not to mention their magicneeds cast time to work, and dagger ele cannot do much if they have to stay near the gate. So, what, are you saying that said ele jump down, cast Meteor Storm, die and Mist Form back, have someone rez them, rinse and repeat? How often can said ele do that to make the tactic actually viable?
Lastly, your entire argument that downed system should be removed from WvW rides on the whole “Mist Form Defender” ‘exploit’. In actual skirmish far from friendly gate, Mist Form can’t really do much when you’re already downed. How far can you run in 5 seconds? How long does it take to actually rally yourself without someone harassing you?
In paper, they look great, but in actual application, they don’t offer much.
I don’t understand the problem.
Why do they want you to pay 5G?
A) You died and if you don’t pay 5G they won’t let you continue
-Makes fair sense I think? You can only return to waypoint if everyone dies, and if you die you have to repair your equipment. UNLESS, they are asking you to pay to revive you while they’re actually in the vicinity. That’s just being d****ebag
B) You participated in a bet that if you die, you’ll pay 5G
-If this is the case, you’re at fault.
Playing in my world is like being a Russian front-liner in the early days of World War II, with the forces of a certain mustachioed man approaching very quickly in HUGE MASSES, not enough reinforcements, and defending a single tower is a dramatic climax.
No, when I said in the midst of battle, I mean when you are actively in “fight mode” and have reduced movement speed and revive speed.
Revive speed is drastically reduced when you’re in battle. Far as I’ve seen, could be reduced to only 1/4 of usual. It is true that resurrecting someone out of combat takes only 4 seconds tops, but in combat it’s almost impossible to have the time to rez someone unless you’re fighting in PvE against mindless monsters OR you have lots of people rezzing you, which is not the case in skirmishes
Mist Form lasts about 4-5 seconds, then you’re back to downed state with a cooldown of 19 seconds on the Mist Form. I say, you’re confusing some stuff. Thief’s escape skill also has cooldown. Not like they can jump across the map. Mist Form can cover more ground than that. Never seen Mesmer’s escape skill (either they win or they’re killed the moment they die out of outrage), but mesmer in general is imbalanced.

DCed when creating char, now the name's taken

If a character name is already taken it’ll say so when you sign the form at the name screen.
As an example, i have a warrior called Skarik Bearheart, now if i tried to make another character by that name, it’ll show that “A character with that name already exists, please choose another”.
It wouldn’t remove me from the game or disconnect me, it would just come up with that error.
This error, along with the disconnection, is basically showing that either your game is corrupted and will disconnect you regardless of what you name it, or it’s a server-side issue.
So your options are; Reinstall the game completely, or wait for an official response from an ArenaNet moderator.
The problem is not that the game booted me out when signing the name. At that time, I’ve signed the name and the name was indeed available. However, my internet connection was crappy and I never managed to get into the intro mission. Instead, as the loading circle keeps loading, a code 7 (or maybe 58, i forgot) error message appeared and I was forced to shut down the application and start again.
I’ve created 5 characters since, everything is fine. I just deleted one to prepare a slot for the name
EDIT:
I’ve filed a support ticket under Account Link/Unlink category, for better or worse, since there’s no fitting category for such a minor thing.

Thanks for the responses. I tried to add the name to my friend list and nothing happens. Tried a few times to be sure. Will try to create a character with that name to see if it’s automatically deleted or not.
EDIT:
I tried to create a character, and the name “Vonelis” is still unavailable. I’ll submit a report a support ticket. Thanks for the help

WvW players don’t demand that PVE map completion be made easier, even though it’s just as time consuming as WvW map completion is. So why would PVE players be allowed to EZ-mode WvW completion instead of earning it?
Also, most importantly, the maps are balanced based on rankings, thus swapping colors would ruin matchups. This change will damage WvW solely to make life easier for lazy PVE’ers, and that ain’t cool…
I don’t know, maybe because in PvE you don’t have to rely on your server’s poor WvW performance against the Horde of enemy server to nail that one Vista? (I’m looking at you, Stonemist Castle). As far as I see, there is no “balance” in the map. The Borderlands, for example, are exactly the same. In Eternal Battlegrounds, there are varieties in the landscape, but don’t really change much: there is no buff that reduces the effectiveness of the rams in the valley keep or something. At the end of the day, Green Army can always seize control of Southeast Keep while Red Army seize control of Southwest Keep and Blue Army seize control of North Keep and nothing would change other than the distance to nearest safe outpost.
I don’t live in America, at night (when I can play), my server is practically empty, while the enemy (both of them) have SWARMS (to not have the Outmanned buff is actually very uncommon). At this point, the glory of WvW is not an option. Should I be denied map completion just because I live in different timezone?
Besides, Green, Blue, Red, you can already change position based on rankings. What would changing the position more regularly do to your server’s performance?
Well I’m sorry if I don’t agree on all counts. Swap colours, I don’t care, but for the sake of world completion, kitten!
I’ve been playing since launch and I’m only 50% (ish) towards completion because I don’t PvE.
Hey lets make it even easier for PvE players, while WvWers are shown the shoulder once again.
If you participate on a regular basis, you will visit all areas of WvW. If not, suck it up like we have to.
Can you tell me how this would affect the WvW?
Just rotate the colors every reset. Not a huge deal. Even if you participate on regular basis, a single commander can’t assault the Garrison all by himself. In contrast, a “veteran” in WvW (as some here implies) would actually have no problem adapting because they’re so familiar with the land, now would they?

Hello
Back when I first got my GW2, I tried to create a character by name of “Vonelis” and the name was available, but unfortunately due to particularly crappy internet connection, I was booted out at the finishing process (after signing the form). The character in question never appeared in my account’s roster and never took one of my slots.
Then, when I tried to use it again, the game says the name’s already taken. It looks like the character was indeed created, but simply never linked to my account, thereby consuming a space that never should’ve been.
Can I ask that the character be tracked down and if nobody is actually actively using the name (I assume it never gets past even the tutorial mission), be deleted so I can use the name again? I understand that this looks like a minor issue, but I’ve been using the name for every single game I have, I like it.
If it helps, the character in question is a female human engineer.
I must note that it’s been quite some time ago, almost a month perhaps, and I’ve never tried to use the name again, so I don’t know if it’s currently available or not.
Devona’s Rest seem to be ideal currently, then again, how do you even check your server’s tier?
We always have Stormbluff Invader coming in waves, all the time. I tell you, it’s like being a Russian during the early days of WWII.
Took me about 15 mins trying to find a suitable name. 5 seconds thinking the english equivalent, 14 mins spent switching between target languages in Google Translate.
Well, two out of 4 chars anyway. I’ve had 2 names I usually use, Vonelis (engineer) and Acriphia (ranger). Dang internet took my “Vonelis” (my connection went awry when the name is registering, and it’s eternally taken by a non-existing character) so I had to go with “Voneli”
For my Elementalist and Mesmer, the name thinking happens. “Vievand” (I-forgot-which-language for “holy water”) and Krasivaya Illyuziya (russian for “beautiful illusion”, ’least uncle google said so)
I don’t take names lightly. Wouldn’t wanna be remembered in history as “Mr Doohickey von Incompetento” now would we?

It takes ridiculous amount of time to make even a single gold in this game. How do you even get to 700?
If the price go any more expensive, the economy is going to be broken. RNG is a good mechanic… for padding game length. For actual progression? Well, have anyone ever wondered why Las Vegas is still running?
Can’t you just implement a serious, hardcore, huge boss, which naturally calls for at least 10-15 characters working together and is only available during select times with limited drop (like, say, only a few can ever drop at any given time, but at least one always drops)? And make the drops account-bound?
I’m here to post that I managed to solve my code 7 problem.
I did it by running DNS benchmark (specifically, Google’s namebench) and setting my DNS accordingly.
Prior to doing this, I get code 7 basically anytime. At most 2 minutes of game time before everything is unresponsive. Tried everything from -repair to constant ping to prevent modem idle, but nothing works. Now, my code 7 error is completely gone.
I don’t have any problem with downloads or with DotA 2 before (without this DNS settings), so I thought it’s on the server’s end. Turns out it’s on my ISP.
You folks may want to try. It certainly works for me.
