Guild Wars 2

2200gems for both is way overpriced. You can digitally upgrade your entire account for close to that amount. 550gems for the mini in game pet, 1500gems for the combo.

(I’m sorry if this is double posting, no idea why or how to fix it. )

I’ve seen a few threads requesting this. With or without that invisible bag, this would still be really nice to have. <3

Absolutely!

I"m afraid another company will license this out and make a ton of profit themselves! Arenanet should just go with it. That Charr plush was really disappointing imo. Not cute at all, and -waaaay- over priced.

Baby Quaggen plushi $9.99 + in game pet <3

Thanks for the support and constructive criticism.

If I’m not mistaken, didn’t GW1 have a similar system to this? I just don’t remember manually having to block many people in that game, and I know there were solicitors for gold selling.

robinsiebler.3801:

Auto-block is a potentially bad idea and this has been discussed elsewhere…

Someone’s account gets hacked. They goldsell. You autoblock them. The issue is resolved, they have control of their account. Now you have someone blocked for no reason. Eventually, your block list will be huge and what if that person suddenly has a legitimate reason to talk to you?

I block all of the people I report anyways. So whether or not their account gets resolved is not my responsibility to adjust my block list.

Also, if I don’t block these people you know what happens? Spam. I can’t stand those messages, and it absolutely irritates me to spend an ounce of time on these hacking thieves.

Again… please read my original post. An option that you do not have to click to have auto-block would cause you no problem.

EDIT: I also believe people are misunderstanding what I’m saying, so I’m going to adjust my original post with a step by step explanation.

You should really go in and use the [ s ] texttexttext [ / s ] (minus the spaces) to cover up your spoilers.

EDIT: I point this out, because I’ve had one of my own forum posts deleted for not using the forum tools; even though I noted everything with spoilers. So I guess just a friendly FYI

For accounts we report? I also said add the option. Please read the whole thing

Edit: I mean exactly what I typed lol. Autoblock the accounts that you submit reports on. Such as gold farmers you right click, report for scamming / selling gold / spamming – then once the report is submitted, that person will be automatically blocked.

Hello,

Simply stated as the topic title. Please allow us an option to check that will auto-block accounts we submit reports on, as well as add a block feature in our mail.

I’m tired of wasting even a few moments on all the gold sellers and farmers.

Thank you

EDIT: Posters seem to be getting confused as to how this system would work (and fyi this was the system WoW implemented so it’s not like some crazy new thing that’s never been tested).

• You log in, and enable the new option to auto-block accounts you report.
• Flkjsdfo whispers you: Would you like 2 buy gold? Cheap Cheap Cheap!!
• You right click Flksdfo, and click report for selling gold
• Flksdfo has been moved to your block list.

^ If you notice, the block is automatic after you report them.

Thanks for the troubleshooting Hickeroar, and I’ll be sure to try these out. I’m concerned they may not do the trick considering pretty much all of my friends are having the same issue.

Still, I’ll update this post after I do some computer cleaning.

(I could not find another existing merged thread for this topic. However, if there is one please feel free to merge my post to that thread, and close this one. Thank you.)

Hello,

The Issue:

My load times between zones have exponentially increased since the launch of GW2. This situation occurs every log in no matter the time, and circumstance. A few patches ago is when I first started to notice it (the biggest patch towards the beginning of Sept). My load times went from 15 – 30secs, to now 30secs (if I’m lucky) – 1min+!

(It’s obviously not that big of a deal to wait considering there seems to be people still unable to play. Yet, this could be a sign of other problems with this game, and should be brought to the attention of ArenaNet.)

Before posting my computer / specs please remember before you comment – load times were absolutely fine playing with this computer at launch. Also other games work totally fine (except for Skyrim… those load times are kinda crappy too).

Hello,

So I’d like to start off with I’m not a huge fan of the DPS meter. My first MMO is FFXI. I loved the way we all worked together with skill chains. No need for a DPS meter, just team work. I also enjoyed WoW before the dreaded meter. Didn’t have people posting their uber leetz scores. We all just worked together, and enjoyed our time.

However, DPS meters are incredibly important when video games offer you numerous options for profession builds. GW1 is famous for their abundant amount of job class combo / trait builds. Sadly, most of them didn’t work!

DPS meters can really help us weed out the builds here in GW2 that just aren’t viable. They can also help us relay information on weak trait builds to help balance out the game.

That’s why I would like to suggest a DPS meter for Heart of the Mists Dummies only. I believe the dummies in GW1 also had a DPS meter that would tell you how much damage you did in a period of time. There should also be a healing meter for those that would like to test out their support builds.

Again, I do not support DPS meters in parties, but we could really use some sort of DPS / Healing meter while we’re testing builds out in Heart of the Mists.

Thank you.

I’m absolutely 100% for downscaling.

This is possibly my favorite feature of this game. I can never out level my friends, my family, my guild mates; I can play with anyone, any time, any level. That feature by far out weighs this ‘over power feeling.’ Also, none of the zones become worthless. Anytime I feel I’m under level I can pop over to a zone I didn’t do while I was leveling up, and catch up on XP. All of the dungeons (when they balance the reward system) are viable for any level.

Thanks ANet for this great feature.

Hello everyone,

I have to add another post with this very same problem. At launch, my frames were really great. Even with lots of people in the area. My average frames were 30-40s. The very least were 24 frames, and they never stayed that low; my frames would jump up after a few moments. Also, my load times between zones would at most be 20seconds; the average was 15seconds.

I’ve noticed after every patch not only do my frame rates suffer, but my load times are incredibly long. I rarely see anything over 32 FPS, and the average is mid to low 20’s. My load times are 30seconds – 1min+!

I’m making this post, because the game is becoming unplayable. I log in, and I’m getting 8 – 12 fps. Load times are well over 45seconds. I’m also aware of many others having this exact same issue. Several people in map chat have stated 3-5fps.

Here are the details:

Most Recent Event:
Log-in time: 24 Sept 2012, 1:50AM PDT
Locations: Lion’s Arch, Black Citadel (I couldn’t test any other cities, because the load times were just too ridiculous. However, my FPS in Caledon forest were low to mid 20s. I’m assuming this issue is mainly in the major Cities. The population in both locations I tested were minimal.)
FPS: 8-15 frames
Load Time: 1min+

Computer Specs:
Intel Quad Core 2.66 (all drivers are up to date)
ATI 5850 1gig

Other games to compare:
I have top Frames (mid 40’s to 60) in the following games:
Skyrim

WoW
LotRO
SWtOR (and many many many more lol)

I would really like to see someone post on this issue. Thank you

Hello!

So I’d like to start off with this isn’t a huge game breaking problem for me. I’m not coming here to whine, and complain. To be honest, I rarely post, and never expect any significant attention.

If you feel prices are totally fine, that’s cool. I’m in no way attempting to argue my point or change anyone’s opinion with this thread.

Now that’s out of the way, as a casual gamer I play GW2 pretty sparingly. I really love it, and I play with my RL friends. I’m not huge on crafting since I honestly don’t have the time to farm materials. So generally whenever I see my character with over 80s it’s pretty exciting lol!

However, I’ve been noticing prices for equipment, and I’ve come to the conclusion I’ll probably never get them lol. That’s no problem either. My real beef comes to the guild armorer.

1g for equipment seems -way- too steep just to display a guild icon on equipment. Whenever I see ‘guild icon’ I think, oh neat! Fun way to endorse the guild! Great way for everyone in the guild to get on board. Really what this pricing says to me is it’s limiting to only those that can throw away 1g for an item skin. We spent influence on this feature, and for another 1g is just too unreasonable imo.

A much more reasonable price would be 25s – 50s. Even higher level lowbies can enjoy to show off their guild pride, and not just people rolling in money to toss 1g at one item skin.

Thanks!

Thanks for this post!

I’m a huge supporter of Arenanet. After having been let down by -so- many developing companies, Arenanet was the last shining light (well them and Bethesda). I still support Arenanet. They’re the only company I’ve seen so far where developers will directly communicate with their playerbase.

However, there is a serious problem with dungeons in this game. I absolutely agree with the OP of this thread. Only once did I feel accomplished in a dungeon, and that was AC explorable Howling King. The only reason I felt accomplished was because despite the bugs (…looking at you flame turret stairs and Hodgeson(sp) dying right in the middle of it) my party succeeded. Our repair bills were so expensive, and the reward didn’t even touch the cost of repairs.

After that run I only run dungeons when necessary. Why? Too hard? Absolutely not. My team does a great job, and I really love playing with my friends. The problem is the dungeons no longer feel like accomplishments, and instead feel like punishment. None of the rewards allow us to cover the cost of running the dungeon, nor do the rewards equal any value of our run.

That is a huge problem.

I want to enjoy all of this game, the hard parts and the easy parts. Yet, for now the dungeons are a complete waste of time.

I’m sorry, but the difficulty + time =/= the reward of finishing any dungeon in this game.

Hello,

A very minor suggestion.

Please take the feature to kick players from the guild out of the character portrait in the party interface.

The kick players option should be in the guild interface menu; maybe even the roster.

I’ve already accidentally kicked one of my guild’s members on accident trying to kick them out of the party after they logged off.

Thank you.

Hello,

I didn’t exactly know where to post this, but I added 2 upgrades (Politics Rank II, Guild Emblem) to the que only to have them disappear 5 hours later. They’re greyed out in the upgrade list, but the ‘Add’ button is still there.

Ari Kagura.9182:

I think the intend is to buy the Cultural Armor and use transmute stones so that it has stats that actually matter for your character’s trait build.

Very well could be, and I’ve thought of this as well. It is still disappointing (to me at least) to not see this gear used as.. well gear! Lol!

Lol, I can feel the flames about to roar, and I have to stand in the middle of this soon to be firestorm with you.

I agree the cultural armor is extremely overpriced. However, I feel it’s overpriced, because the armor I saw (tier 1 & 2) were so weak! Charging that much money for such poor gear is a waste of an item. This is so sad to see as well, because I feel the cultural armor has to be some of the best looking armor in the game.

Honestly, I’d suggest to switch over to a reasonable karma price instead of gold.

Lol I knew this was going to get posted eventually.

As a Mesmer I can absolutely assure you we are not OP. The player you fought was just very skilled. I’ve seen Guardians stand up against 3 people without a problem at all. I’ve also seen a warrior do similar. I honestly do not believe any class in this game is OP there is just so much room for skill to override class.

I promise you put any class in a skilled players hands, and they could beat a slew of people without a second thought.

Ari really explained the situation as I would have done. This is really the issue at hand. People have just stockpiled so many materials waiting for the TP to come up, and there’s just too much supply for the market to handle higher prices.

I’ve even noticed the whole 1c above the vendor price when the very tax of putting items on the auction house are 3-6c. So in fact, there are -hundreds- of people out there spending money to sell items.

I’d strongly suggest to just wait on TP’ing items that are being sold at ridiculously low prices. Eventually this stock will sell out, and people will begin to up the price.

I’ve read they’re reintroducing the guest feature. Basically the guest feature allows you to go to different servers, but not participate in that server’s PvP. However, I have not read any ETA on this feature. Sorry

Nottix.7864:

I pulled them up a couple times on accident trying to loot mobs spamming my action key.

This -always- happens to me. I never mean to pick up those darn banners, but for some reason they’re always placed right atop the pile of mobs I need to loot.

I opened up a support ticket just in case this is a possible exploit. If anyone else has any information regarding this issue please post. Totally paranoid for my account

dora.9610:

I don’t recall the exact amounts, All I do remember is that for all my lvl 11s (4) I had a hard time making sure I have 10s for the training manual.

Right, I just hit 11s at level 8. I remember being around that much (I vendor everything), but I don’t want to get banned for an exploit I don’t even know about lol.

I currently have a level 45 Mesmer. The heart quest reward money is around 1silver. I recently made a new Engineer (level 7). I’ve been noticing my rewards are around 50c. I honestly thought this was normal reward money (since I remember getting money similar to that on my Mesmer), however I’m afraid it may be too much and this could be an exploit.

Is anyone else getting around 50c for finishing heart quests in the starter area?

Thanks for reading.

EDIT: Also the amount is varying by a lot. Sometimes I get around 45c, then I’ll get 20c. I’ve seen 65c as well. I wasn’t keep track before this post, I’ll definitely start keeping track now however.
