I should also mention that the text messages came from different senders. The original sender started with an 8. The sender now that I am home starts with a 7.
I disabled my 2-tier authentication earlier today at work. Then proceeded to setup the SMS authentication. Everything went very smooth, I received the code on my phone in seconds and was able to confirm the setup. Next I tried logging into the game at work which when logging in it prompted for the code. I was able to enter the code and tell it to remember my location. My problem is now that I am home I try to log into GW2 or the Forums (currently remoted into my work pc to type this out) I am prompted with entering the code. I receive the text message within seconds again but when I check the box to remember network and enter the code I get the error message. No idea if anyone has tried to log in from multiple locations using the new SMS code, but I have tried multiple times. Trying the forums or the game, neither work. But it seems everything still works from my workplace. Might have something to do with how I told it to “remember my location” while at work?
Any help would be great. Also ticket: 1674599 because I could not log on to the forums from home to post this message.
Error Message:
“Authentication Code Expired
The code you entered was not recogized by our system. Please log in again to try again.”
Edit: Please do not merge this with the bugs thread. Since this is not an in game issue but rather an issue with the new SMS authentication.
Edit 2:
After trying many times, I can finally log in. I have to be sure to not check the “remember my location”. The login will only work if I do not select that option. I tried logging out then checking the box and received the same error. So it definitely looks to be when selection the “remember my location” option. Hope this helps the developers to get this straightened away.
Gambling sucks, you could have just received 5 tickets and we would have never heard a thing about it. Some win, some lose. The best value would be to convert that money to gold then just buy the weapon you want.
It is nice to see that HoM is apparently now fixed.
It is however not nice to see, that you broke a whole bunch of other stuff doing so, and that is something i am not happy about.
Several dozens of achievements i have unlocked are now not unlocked anymore.
This Ranges from Collections to even the new Jumping Puzzle Achievement i did weeks ago when Lions Arch was first reworked.
Also, all the Living Story 2 Chapters i had previously unlocked have been taken away from me, and now you are suggesting i buy them for 200 Gems each.
For some odd reason, i also have to click through all of the training stuff AGAIN, and i am not even sure if you gave me the Hero Points back required to do that.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or has anything else to add to the list?
To be fair, this patch wasn’t centered around the HoM fix. It just happened to be included.
Fair enough. Though i have no idea how one manages to let a clusterkitten like this slip onto Live Servers. Being a Developer myself and all…
But an issue like this just makes me want to turn off the game instead of playing this mess, not even knowing if they will just rollback my progress later to clean up their mess.
You do not know anything about how their setup is. Do not be an kitten just because you are a developer. I am as well and I understand things happen on live servers that never once show up in any test environment. Almost makes me wonder what you develop to not encounter this. Also your blatant disrespect for them really makes me wonder what you develop because any good developer knows when stuff goes wrong it sucks. And it makes it even worse well people come running and screaming you broke it you broke it.
I have spent close to $1500 on gems over the last 3 years, should I get a separate title than someone who bought the Ultimate edition (which I purchased as well)?
Really though it is just a percent off gems. I do not think a separate title needs to be added at all. No need to flaunt around saying you bought 50% off gems.
300?! I must be bugged because I’m at 80 and I don’t have enough points for everything I want for my new build. I’m stuck with my old, ruined build, I don’t feel like grinding points like this. I think I have to restart my Necro at lvl 1.
Why in the world would you start over, if you are level 80 it has been confirmed you will have enough points to unlock every single thing.
Just want to point out that this new system is much easier to understand than the previous system. I did not read any patch notes and within a few clicks realized that the other trait lines I wanted were not unlocked. Was able to figure out that you needed to navigate to the training tab, then click on each ability you want to unlock. Or just click on the last ability to unlock them all for that line. After that I had everything unlocked and was able to start figuring out what build I wanted to try.
Really like the new system, along with the images for each trait line.
This question might have been answered before, but I cannot find it, so I apologize in advance if it has.
I am wondering if we are allowed to have nine slots for our account. I already have eight, which I believe to be the maximum, so if I use another character slot expansion (either from the gem store or from pre-ordering the deluxe or ultimate package), will it let me have nine or will it say I’ve reached the maximum character slots for my account?
If you could answer with a quote/link to someone from Anet saying “yes” or “no,” that would be preferred. I know there’s speculation that it will increase, but I want to hear/read it from the people that make the game.
Thank you for your time!
I think 64 slots are the maximum. I have 10 so you are fine to get another.
Yup you are spoiled, let the new players have a free copy of the game. I have enjoyed the last 3 years of playing, and already purchased the Ultimate version.
There’s a very big difference between being spoiled and having common sense.
Good then get some, having new players not have to pay twice for a game is a good thing. There is no reason why people should kitten that new players get the base game for free. If you do it is because you are thinking of yourself rather what is best for the game.
Take your own advice, and get some common sense.
Are you THAT kitten stupid or are you just trolling? It’s cool for new players indeed but why the KITTEN should I buy the SAME THING TWICE and having it only 1 TIME?
If that’s spoiled for you then good for you, throw your money away.
That’s just common sense. You pay for something, you GET it, that’s all. It’s not about what is best for the game. I don’t care that’s not my work that is Anet’s. They don’t pay me to promote their game, they don’t pay me at all so guess what? I’m just a basic consumer that want to get what I pay for. Me playing the game before the expansion hasn’t anything to do with this issue.
Dumb b***
You are not buying something twice, you are buying an expansion. It comes with the base game, if you did not already have the base game. You just imagined the expansion being less than 50$. Sorry it is not, this is what happens when people want expansions. We could have had free updates albeit at a slower pace but they would have been free. Pay the money or wait like the other poster said, because around the holidays it will be at a reduced cost.

What makes this all so funny, is Bungie is doing the same thing with Destiny expansion coming out in September. Offering the base game as part of the expansion package. And do you know what those forums are all up in crazy as well. They are offering the base game for free to new people. If they did not offer it for free, the new people would have to pay 50$ for the expansion and another 10-20$ for the base game. If you even try to utter the words “BUT BUT BUT i had to pay twice”. Then you are a spoiled adult/child and need to grow up. Having new people join the game is always a good thing, just because they paid less than you does not make them any worse a person. GET OVER YOURSELF.
We don’t care that they don’t get it for free (or at least I don’t) I care that I have to pay $10 more because I do not get my “free” copy of the game, are you seriously trying to defend them making their vets get absolutely nothing out of this despite the fact that if it were not for us, there would be no expac, or game, or new players because there would have been no one spending money on it for the last 3 years…

60$ is the normal price for expansions, i do not understand why everyone is kittening about them including the base game? This is what happens when you want expansions, just think we could have had all these updates for free. GG internet cryers.
I’ve seen it all now. my goodness the casual players in this game go beyond casual.
I am casual, and yet I have 3 sets of ascended for each armor tier. Being casual does not mean being a whining kitten. We need to set this thread right in that it is not the “casual” gamers that are complaining but the whining kittenes.
You can already play with all your friends on different servers. If you are looking to join WvW with them, you will need to all migrate to the same server, luckily if you pick a less populated server the price should not be bad.
Just think how great it would have been to receive all this content at the same pace as the 2-4 week updates. But nope the expansion crowed complained for 2 years, so now we follow the typical MMO. So 6-9 month wait between content that takes 1-2 weeks to complete, then wait another 6-9 months.
Yay expansions, wish Arena Net would have followed their original goals of no expansions.
Just wanted to toss in my input that I think the name choices for both have been great and well fitted. Just wish the vocal minority would not be so harsh with their feedback. But that tends to be the majority of feedback on any gaming forums. Everyone seems to be a game developer now a days.
If you see the fire elemental more than a few times it is most likely because you are not high enough level to trigger the other world boss dailies. It seems that fire elemental is the default for someone not level 80 running the dailies.
You do realize to use a new engine they would have to re-write the entire game? So many people think things happen with a push of a button. Wish I lived in that world. Designing a map to have more vertical features allows the developers to get more “stuff” on a map without worry about making it a giant square with one layer. The dry/top silverwaste design has been greatly received by many players. It really is too bad that you do not enjoy it, but this seems to be the direction we are heading. This really is for the better, enough with trying to get GW2 to by like ‘X’ game, let it be its own thing.
Congratulations! As one of our most loyal players, we value your feedback. We want to invite you to join us on March 24 to stress test Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™* and find out what you think.

So instead of giving beta access to those who would spend the time doing actual testing, it turned out to be a better idea to just let the beta keys be a pay-to-win subject? That encourages everyone to buy gems to access the beta or just write nice things on the forums to attract attention…
Beta testers should be chosen from a gameplay point of view, nothing else. It would also be great if the sign-up worked as intended instead of never registering for every other player.
And where did you get the notion that it’s pay to win? Did someone, anyone at all pay for a key? Were any chosen on the basis of buying gems? No, earlier in the thread someone was complaining because they did buy lots of gems and weren’t chosen. There is one person chosen who has an account that has a forum ban, from another thread, so it’s not based on saying nice things on the forum either,
Complaints like these are not based on any sort of truth and have the stink of sour grapes around them.
Can confirm, have spent lots of money still no key. Most likely was completely random, could have just used a better choice of words for the email going out. On the bright side with demo’s happening this is looking like a before September release of the expansion.
Have spent over $1000.00 in gems as of the first of the year. Little sad to see I am still not considered one of the most loyal fans. Guess I’ll wait like the rest of the people.
No idea if loyal means people who actual spend money or just people who play 8 hours a day. I would think people who spend money would be the better choice.
I love how many people want to be the unique snowflake, and go against buying the expansion. If you do not want the expansion then do not buy it. Why come on to the forms and try to find out what you will not have access too. Just assume everything you have access to now you will still have access to. Anything new added you will not have access to. If there is a daily that is made up of all expansion items, guess what do not come on here complaining you do not have access to it. Stop trying to limit the people that actually want to spend money and support the game.
Again, you didn’t read the whole thread. One of the new things being added could limit the base game itself. That’s one of the questions being asked, it’s not about “oh, can we get this and that? I bought the base game”, it’s “oh, that new thing, will that one be free since it might replace what I’ve been playing in the base game this whole time”
It’s not just about “being a unique snowflake” I think that’s very rude to assume, people may be buying the expansion late due to personal issues or monetary problems, calling them out on it can’t be nice for them.
I really do not think you understand. Why limit the game for people that support it by purchasing the expansion. You are asking for the game to revolve around the people who do not support it. The game is going to change, if people are looking for a game that will not change purchase any single player game. Why should I who will buy the expansion be limited because there are people that do not purchase it. I really think for the first month every daily should be based on the new maps, that goes for WvW, PvP, and PvE. We are purchasing the game, we are supporting the game. Just be happy that you can still play parts of the game without owning the expansion.
Not trying to be rude, but this comes up in so many games when an expansion is announced. The people that do not purchase the expansion expect the game to revolve around them going forward with claims of “you are taking away what I bought”. No you bought into an ever changing game, if you do not like it, I am sure they could ask for a refund.

I have been reporting every LTS or WTB post on there. I use the LFG abuse, i figure it is an abuse to the system. I would say just start banning for it, maybe nothing crazy give a warning then 24 hour ban. I do not think there should be a message in the LFG window that states they could be banned for using the system for trading. That would just cause clutter, no need for that.
Also, just an fyi, no way in hell is it going to have only positive effects. Have you ever fought triple trouble? That one more or less demands a full map to be successful.
It may demand a full map (but probably thats a matter of scaling if it does or not).
In any case I would rate tripple trouble (and the marionette and the boss in the lion arch reconquest) as better game design, because it requires the people not all in one place, but distributed over several places.
Again, it is your computer. That is like saying, Anet produced this game, and my computer dies while playing it. Well since they produced the client that was running when my computer kitten the bed, means they need to fix their game.
Have you not done any of the large bosses? Setup for Wurm requires everyone in the same spot while they divide everything up. This causes crashes, actually there have been people that when the map is full but want to get their friends in spam their attacks. Because some people do not turn down their graphics and crash because of the animations, which opens up space for others to come in.
If people would have supported the free model, and not come on the forums yelling for an expansion. We might have continued down that path, but Anet needs to bring back fans and attract new ones. For some reason when expansions are talked about people get all excited.
I would have been just excited if not more, if Anet would have stuck to their no expansion, and just release the content as LS episodes.
You should turn your graphics down when you are going to attempt large events. The crash is happening on your end, being your computer can not handle the load of animations. I run on max settings and do not crash at any event, this is on my computer that I just built a few months ago. On my old one, I had to turn down graphics when attempting events or else it would crash.
We could easily hear all the info 2 weeks before PAX. Basically a new article every day, so i figure we will not hear anything until middle-end of February.
The only information that we received was in a few weeks they will begin the deep dive. PAX East will have a playable demo, so we should hear all about the new features before then.
All of the new features have been announced. So this should most likely go under the Suggestion topic. In which case yes the is very much needed at some point in the future.
It is not like one has the luxery of choosing. Factions and Nightfal were much bigger than EotN thus they cost much more resources to produce.
The fair question to ask is thus: Do you want more frequent but smaller expansions (like EoTN) or do you want less frequent but bigger stand alone games (like Factions and Nightfall)?
I completely agree with your comment. My curiosity is regarding the complaining – they seem to expect a stand alone game like Factions. Scream for expansion, cry because it is expansion.
I have learned to never understand the people posting on forums. They are by far the vast minority of people actually playing the game.
The precursor crafting/scavenger hunt was never a promise. It was on the table, they were working on it, then at some point it went off the table. But it was never promised.
Oh, yes it was promised, and that’s exactly why they don’t promise anything anymore. They even said we’d see it in 2013.
Hopefully they fulfill that promise with HoT.
Did you even read the article, i know it might have taken 5 minutes of your time.
“And So Much More to Come…
From the upcoming release of our brand spanking new Looking for Group (LFG) tool, to investigating ways to limit culling in PvE, to the two-week content schedule our Living World teams have in store, the second half of 2013 has countless more exciting new things in store for our players than I can possibly cover here.As always, the content above is subject to change as we test and iterate on these systems.”
But because of people not reading and jumping to conclusions like you just did with saying they promised these things. This is why they do not let us know anymore.
So if it’s alright for some one to completely re write your Ui why can’t I have deadly boss mods?
He didnt mod the game, and no, it isnt ok for you to have a mod. Second, it’s also stupendously easy to do what he did by taking screenshots and basically slicing apart the interface to create what he was after.
I do not know if I would call it stupendously easy. The amount of work that he put into it is not something that can be called ‘easy’. This is something not done in paint by your average computer user.
They block them as soon as they are reported. What more can they do? It is not their fault that accounts got compromised.
No they don’t and that is the problem. Three times in the last week when I was in DR doing some banking and selling stuff I was being spammed by the same gold seller once a minute. I would report him each time, but nothing stopped. This went on for 1/2 hour with a total of 30 reports every day it happened. If the same spammer can show up and harass me for three days in a row then from my perspective they are doing nothing to stop it.
So going off internet speak, 3 times means within the same 1/2 hour. Report then block. You never hear from them again. Just because you report an action is not immediate. Try to step up and take action rather than putting blame where it does not belong.
I think I have to restart my Necro at lvl 1.
