Missing character

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Three possibilities come to mind:

1. You were hacked quite a while ago, and the hacker deleted your character after messing with stuff.
2. You shared your account info with someone else who deleted the character.
3. You deleted the character and, in the long period of time you were away from the game, forgot.

Those options seem more likely than some GM moving your character to another account and changing the name (something that, as far as I know, has never happened in the history of the game).

Regardless, if you’re unhappy with the response from support, you can update your ticket asking that your issue be reviewed again.

Scarlet's Era & special items. Is this right?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

It really doesn’t bother me at all. I had no issues farming blade shards and other items for the spinal blade back items (I made two of them during/immediately after the events and have since collected enough mats to make a third if I want). Scarlet’s Kiss and Rainbow were already obtainable for people with tons of money to trade for gold.

This content was stuff that happened years ago, before a decent chunk of the population of the game was even around. I know I earned my rewards from the actual events, and that’s enough for me. I really could not care less how someone else got them.

Do I have a free server swap?

You can get a free server swap by deleting all of your characters. Just make sure you remove any soulbound items from your bank before doing so, as well as deposit any materials in your character(s)’ inventory.

Can't use desired name

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Guys,

The reason that this particular name is blocked is entirely different than you believe. In fact, we block names that have a space around the letter “G” because that’s the most effective way to block someone from posing as a Game Master. We learned from experience in our own and other games that some people impersonate GM’s in an attempt to scam other players. They might use GM Fred or G M Fred, or they may incorporate symbols that look like “GM” at a glance. Blocking a self-standing letter “G” allows us to better prevent that unfortunate situation.

The more we know! Thanks, Gaile.

My guess is copyright. And you aren’t too likely to get a response from Anet here; if you want direct feedback, a support ticket is the way to go.

Why did you pre-purchase Path of Fire?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Because I wanted to play it as soon as it was released. The end.

Full servers not changing at all.

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

If a server is listed as Full, then it’s very unlikely that it will not be Full anytime soon. Server populations are determined by the number of wvw players on that server. So, unless a mass exodus (such as a large wvw guild leaving Piken Square for a lower population server) happens, the Full status isn’t likely to change. And yeah, support won’t put you on a full server just because you want to be on it.

So, you’d be better off just transferring to a non-full EU server. You’d be able to play with your EU friends that way. And, after the 7 day lock out, you can resume your wait for Piken Square to open up.

PoF on Friday- a good idea?

As Trogdor said, I imagine that the release day was decided and agreed upon by many members of staff. If it weren’t a reasonable day for the staff required to work for launch, they probably would have chosen a different day.

Re-purchase really?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

I’m not sure I understand. You have Heart of Thorns (the first expansion to Guild Wars 2); you’re free to play it and all of its content as long as you like. Path of Fire is the upcoming second expansion to Guild Wars 2, and you have to buy it in order to play it once it’s launched. You’re not “re-purchasing” anything; you’re buying the new expansion.

If you’re saying you saw this message ("Please re-purchase . . . ") in-game, then that sounds unusual. What were you doing when you saw that message?

BLTC - Can't Take Funds From Delivery Box

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

When you right click on mats in the demo, you’re only given the option to Deposit or Destroy; there is no “Sell at trading post” option I’ve seen yet. I’m not sure why your non-demo characters are not able to get your stuff from the BLTC, though. You might want to submit a support ticket, just in case.

Too Much Dismounting

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

I think being forced to dismount when talking to any and all NPCs is excessive. It doesn’t really prevent visual clutter, either, because if someone really wanted to troll with their mount, all they’d have to do is mount up and not interact with the NPC. But I think that a forced dismount while gathering or picking up objects is just fine.

Missing bag slot with pre-order

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Just realized: the OP said he/she purchased the CoF ultimate edition and a bag slot “from the website at the same time”.

What “website”? You can’t purchase bag slots, or other gem store items, outside of the gem shop in game, as far as I know. The official GW2 website only has the game for sale.

You can buy certain gem store items (including additional bag slots) on the GW2 shop here on the website. When you go to the checkout page to order the game or the expansions, the list of these items you can add to your purchase appears at the bottom of the page.

Spending 4000 gems

How long did it take to get your gems? Its been 2 days since I ordered it.

It took about 54 hours for me to get mine. It can take up to 72 hours, so just be patient.

Spending 4000 gems

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

I got my gems today, and I immediately bought the unlimited unbound magic gathering tools combo. It’s something I’ve had my eye on for months (partially because I want a second set of tools to put on my second “main”, and partially because I wanted a lazy way to get bonus unbound magic), so I just immediately went for it. So, if there’s something you’ve had your eye on for a long time, I’d say go for it. If there’s not anything you KNOW you want and will use, then I’d just hold onto the gems. Wait for a while (at the very least until PoF release) and see if anything new comes around.

Warrior doesnt play like GW1

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Yes, it’s worth leveling any class up to 80. However, not a single class in GW2 is going to feel like their GW1 predecessor. GW2 is a completely different game with a completely different style of combat. So, you’ll need to approach it as a different game rather than GW1.5.

I was super happy for the beard and hair styles recently added for humans. However, I wish that the other races (at the very least Norn) had access to some of them. But, for now, I’ll just say thank you to Anet for the awesome new styles.

Your screenshot shows that your Zinn mini isn’t unlocked. Have you tried unlocking the mini so that it’s applied to your minis?

As a side note, how do you have two of those? I thought that was an achievement reward.

I’m not really excited for mounts, and it’s not a feature I’ve wanted in GW2. That being said, I don’t feel like I’m being punished by the addition of mounts. It’s just a new mechanic I’ll have to use and get used to.

The Goonies pirate ship complete with One-Eyed Willie was pretty rad the first time I found that JP.

I’m pretty sure they mean the one in Harathi Hinterlands (Fawcett’s Bounty).

Butterfly Wings

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

It’s not a bug. Those wings were released as a backpack skin only. The feather wings were also initially released as just a backpack skin; later on, they added the glider/backpack skin combo for those. So, maybe one day we’ll get the same with the smaller wings. But, for now, it’s just the backpack skin. For future reference, a backpack skin that is also a glider skin will be called a “glider combo” on the gem store, and the backpack skins without a glider skin are called a “backpack”.

World MAp Completion bug

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Odd. Was the chest you received called “southsun chest”? I ask because I don’t recall ever seeing one of those at all, let alone as a map reward.

Also, if your character is an older one, you might have already completed Caledon Forest once and gotten the reward chest then. Caledon Forest was one of a few maps that has had additional objectives (hearts, POIs, vistas, etc.) added to it since launch. So, if you’d already finished that map before those hearts were added, you wouldn’t get the reward for completing it a second time.

Offering help for EBay JP & Not So Secret JP

Sorry, thought that’s only relevant in WvW, not PvE.

In WvW you have to be on the same region (EU or NA) AND the same server or group of servers to play together. In PvE and PvP you just have to be on the same region.

Sorry to keep derailing your thread, OP. I hope anyone who needs help sees your kind offer and takes you up on it.

It might help to know which region you play in.

Why, you just add him to your friends list and see when he’s online. If he’s not, don’t whsiper.

You have to be on the same region (either EU or NA) in order to actually be able to play together.

Why the heck the designer put an attack of necro player or somebody who swings her sword.

Looking closely at that swing, I see green and leaves when that guy swings his sword.

The effect in the video just looks like the Reaper GS auto-attack (specifically the first hit of it). The first strike creates a green cloud effect, and little feathers/leaves fly off.

I think the “Go on, save Tyria” line was delivered that way on purpose and that the character saying it likely isn’t trying to be an encouraging influence.
