Guild Wars 2

Tab targeting is an option in Guild Wars 2, not a fact of life. Even if you don’t target something and you fire at it, you’ll hit it with most weapons. There are exceptions like mesmer clones where you have to have a target, but they are just that…exceptions.

You can kill stuff easily without targeting at all. I do it all the time.

this is not true, most of the time if you don’t target something and fire you hit the ground.

Actually, you can aim most ranged weapons like rifle or ele staff fire by holding your right mouse button. Anywhere you point the camera is where you will shoot. You can hit enemies like that without aiming.

Okay I see that in the option menu to change targets. It will be difficult for me but at least there is an option. Thank you.

Hey, I think I asked this last year but I just wanted to see if there was something I missed.

Is there a way to disable friendly targeting? I find it hard to click on enemies in wvw when there are so many friendlies in the way like teammates, dolyaks, guards, and so on.

The same goes for dungeons or any type of battle I guess. I find that half the time during the heat of a fight that I am constantly targeting an ally when trying to target an enemy.

Ha that is pretty cool.

Welcome! Been playing for 2 years and still enjoy the game.

Add me to your friends list if you are looking for a pal to game with.

If it wasn’t for the fact that your signature says you’re on Gate of Madness I’d ask if that was a player called Rasman. (Although for all I know he has two accounts.)

He likes to use a tonic, trigger that bug, then spin slowly around confusing anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

This was an NPC though. One that you can spawn to fight. It was also frozen except for the… uh… growing part.

The number generated on your last screenshot…

Coincidence, or omen?

The end has come….

What… am I seeing……

It just kept stretching longer…. and longer…. and longer….

Look at each one from top to bottom

I don’t get the logic of some players who wants everyone to go through the annoying grind just because they did. I guess if that is what makes you feel cool, then hurray for you.

Exotic gear should not be time-gated.

I like how all of the questions from the op mostly negative lol.

Rank 280
1 Ascended chest
1 Ascended ring
Oh and I have gotten a ton of exotics and rares
Dunno if that is bad or good lol

Edit: The chest was an ascended weapon

The forums have become a toxic environment for the devs. Whether they respond or not they will get negative responses either way lol.

Too much negativity in these forums from the players imo.

lol imagine all of the treads saying that their death was not their fault and they want their gear/gold back.

omg i would love to see that

But I think my biggest goof was when I started my own personal guild, gathered influence for a guild bank by doing Claw Island on several characters, waited the many days it takes to build it. When it was finally ready, I went happily to deposit the tons of fractal trings I had. And it turned out you cannot put account bound things there… So there I was, with a lovely personal guild bank and nothing to put inside..

Yeah I have done that one… Talk about a disappointment.

I accidentally listed a ton of t6 materials for 1 silver when I was trying to set the price. Someone bought them instantly…

lol all of these are beating mine.

Okay, this was not my doing but I was part of it.

We did a golem rush in wvw a looong time ago. The commander ran off the cliff and died. EVERYONE including the golems followed him and all but a few died. x.x

Real one

I tried to link my bag of chips to my friend so he could see what I was eating.

Took me a sec to realize what I was doing…

So I saved up some gold to buy a set of dire armor. I did not have enough so I sold whatever I could to get enough (my current armor could not be salvaged). After finally being able to buy the armor, I totally forgot about weapons and trinkets but I already had less than 1 gold. I ended up selling the dire armor and putting back on my old armor(I now had less gold due to selling fees and things).

An hour later after creating a new character, I purchased a cool helmet with my remaining gold for him and was going through my bank for cool things for him to wear when I realized something-

There was an entire set of Dire armor and weapons sitting in my bank -______-

I know I made plenty of ridiculous decisions in this story but I thought it would be fun to start a thread for those who had one of those kitten moments.

But hey, at least I have some cool goggles now!

I have spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on this game in December alone .
Luckily this is the only game I actually spend money on LOL

Charr rules…. Just admit it.

I am not even sure what the origin of the issue is with mine. I am speaking with support atm but this will be the 3rd time but hopefully I get lucky this time.

Hello

Everyday this game, along with every other game, will crash or freeze on me at random moments every single time I play. The games run very well and nothing is overheating(I use coretemp to watch) but for some reason games will randomly freeze or crash and I have to use task manager to shut them down.
This was my first time doing a custom pc so I had this guy at this computer store build it for me. I don’t know what could be the problem but this happens everyday.

Also, I hear my computer get quieter every few seconds and the cpu usage drops to about 0-3% and that is also when the games freeze temporarily or permanently.

I have tried so many tests and things and I just do not know what to do. This has been going on for a few months now.

Waypoints>Mounts
/thread X7 (since i think knives should actually have been 6th)

Anyway, mounts are not something that have been present in the GW lore. To add them now would be… odd. It would add that ‘one more thing’ to the people already kittening that the writers are screwing up and/or ignoring the existing lore of the game.

Outside that, they would provide no useful functionality. With the current design of the game, mounts simply are not needed as a means of transportation. All classes have traits or skills that offer speed boosts, though not necessarily passively.

Cosmetically speaking, they’re simply going to be a pain. Oh, I know the broom and the drill are technically mounts, but they are also extremely simple. If mounts were implemented, they might start out simple, but eventually people are going to want that rainbow trail footprint pony or that sparkly golem or some fiery hellhound. Something with particle effects, something “legendary.” We can’t see through the particle effects we already have, let’s not add more… Not to mention the associated lag.

After that it escalates to “we want more functionality” “we want to battle” etc etc. We’ve already seen people calling for these types of things in other mount proposals. Speed boosts, flying, mounted combat, etc etc.

If they give an inch, players are going to demand a mile.

+1

Kill everything

I decided to choose quantity over quality. Luckily I do not care for the glow effect. I ended up buying 6 rare hero’s weapons. That way I can have their skins for when I level up my guardian and dress her up

Best decision I ever made

Oh and so far I have gotten the sword, greatsword, staff, shield, and hammer. I am not sure what the 6th weapon will be yet.

That is good to know. I ended up spending all mine on 6 weapons for their skins. 6 new skins is pretty great! Can’t wait to be able to get the rest.

Hey I just wanted to know if I can just hold onto my claim tickets without worrying about them expiring or anything.

I want to hold onto them until I level one of my new characters and then I can decide which weapons I would like to get.

I don’t really care about the server since I do WvWvW on my own so this is really for PvE (open world/dungeons and so on).

I have been playing for over a year and I have yet to find just a simple, friendly, and casual guild. Just one where we can chill, talk, and help each other out when in need. I really want to find a guild that feels like a group of friends.

I am not looking for a guild with hundreds of members as I never really enjoyed those.
I really don’t want to join a competitive guild.

I just want to join an active and friendly guild who do not look down on those with little skill or “bad” gear.

I gave it another shot and I was happy with how it turned out. The krait runes ans doom sigil were something I already had and they work well.

I don’t seem to be having much luck with this. Everyone is clearing my conditions almost as fast as I am dropping them. I am going to do some experimenting and find out which build I can enjoy.

This is what happens when slow, long range projectiles are auto cast without ground target. I’m all for eliminating the need to constantly press “1” but notto take away the ground target. the inability to anticipate out opponents position would kill grenades due to it’s slow cast, great range and arching trajectory.

The point is to give players the option to choose. You can still keep it the way you want but other like me can have the auto attack.

That is why we should have the option. Everyone is happy.

If there was no ground targeting then I would finally be able to actually use grenades

I wish they acted just as they do underwater. And I also agree with having a trait that would make them ground targeted if you wanted.

I love rangers. I am the ranged ranger that everyone hates though but hey, that is what I enjoy and that is how a ranger is described in this game :P

Anyways, I know of some really great rangers who I often see in wvw. They are very talented and are a force to be feared by any class. In pve, you are a god, at least in my experience.

I don’t know. I mean imo, it is already pretty balanced by the fact that you already have such a wide variety of skills to switch between while in combat.

With all the different attunements you have, you can easily switch between healing, dps, defense, and speed.

Maybe you got caught alone with a staff equipped. You can switch to earth, immobilize, then put up a wall to give you time to escape, then go lighting and use swiftness while dropping a static field, then go water if you took any damage and drop an ice field to slow your attacker down (you still have your slot skills to use also). If you get away then you can switch to daggers or whatevs and bring the pain.

I personally think that it is a fair tradeoff. You can’t switch weapons out of combat as fast because of how you can switch attunements while in combat.

And it is not like you just can’t switch at all, it is that you cannot do it as fast as a single click. I think it is fair as it is because of what elementalists and engineers are capable of while in combat.

I hope that made sense.

no

Oh I didn’t know that shouts would be better. I forgot to look into my traits and things.
I just spent everything I had on gear(28 silver left lol) So now it is time to figure out the rest.

I just had the signets on because they are easier to manage since they have nice passives. I also just poured all my trait points into the top for condition duration and damage and I used the last little bit on toughness.

I totally forgot about spvp. I will try out some condition builds there as soon as I find someone to practice with. I am really looking forward to trying a condition build again. Especially since I received my first ascended condi bow!

I know I won’t win every battle(especially with my lack of skill lol) but it is good to hear that it is still viable in wvw.

I feel like it is a 50/50 on whether it would be wise to switch to a condition build. Now I am not too sure lol.

I think I will go look up all kinds of warrior builds and see which would be fun and effective.

Wow thanks for all of this valuable info. I am going to read up on these more and learn as much as I can. Really looking forward to doing this.

I just need to find a way to afford all this lol

totally blew all my gold to get it lol

Stacking seems like such a boring way to complete dungeons. It is effective but it is just so dang boring. I play the game to have fun and imo, stacking is not fun.

I don’t understand this argument. I need more info pls.

Because honestly… whether stacking itself is fun or not to you really isn’t the issue… is range kiting a boss fun? I find stacking more fun than that.

Must be personal opinions I guess.

Well yeah all of this is just opinion. I personally think both kiting and stacking are pretty boring. At least you are moving while kiting :P

Anyways, I think the issues is more about the lack of variety when it comes to fighting in dungeons. I don’t really see new ways of taking on dungeons.

For example
Player 1: Hey, I can use my pets to keep that one group of enemies busy.
Player 2: Looks like alot of them. Let me spawn my minions to help your pets.
Player 3: Those ranged targets will kill you guys though. I will use my guardian skills to deflect their projectiles for you.
Player 4: Okay, while you guys do that, me and Player 5 will keep the boss busy until you guys take out all the mobs. If things get too crazy, I can stealth us all and we can regroup.
Player 5: Yeah and when stealthed, I will use my water skills to heal us all quicker.

Not saying this would work but I just wanted to give an example of what I don’t see in dungeons. It happens but just not often. Combat is usually restricted to simple, yet effective ways of fighting (stacking/kiting). I just think there is a lack of variety.

I hope this made sense lol

Stacking seems like such a boring way to complete dungeons. It is effective but it is just so dang boring. I play the game to have fun and imo, stacking is not fun.

Just wondering if I can do well in WvW with a condition build. I would like to take a stab at it again.

Also, I like to stay in my BL and defend there so there are usually medium to 1v1 size fights. Not much zerging.

Looks like someone messed up a character maybe so it didn’t turn up the right way.

Wow, now I am inspired to go out, explore, and find areas that I would like to take pictures from.

Account-wide gold is the best thing to ever happen. I cannot see any sort of issue with this.

Blix.8021:

lol @ fanboys

Anet says one thing, does another and they have people defend them on forums for it. Luckily most people are smarter and don’t appreciate the deception.

Yeah I am going to have to agree on this one lol.

You don’t get banned from features in the game. If you get banned, you get banned from the entire game, not parts. That is as much as I know about it.
