Perhaps you meant to post this in game bugs, not forum/website bugs?

Not seen this particular behavior. Which trolls in what area are you seeing this on?

Sign me up for the “I hate geo-ip” club. Google does this all the time, but they do have an means available for you to turn it off.

AFAIK the only way you’re going to get it to stop doing that is to proxy to an english-speaking country.

Whisperer Rifle Skin Changed

In another post, we found out why.

You are only supposed to get that skin via your Personal Story, in a specific story path/branch.

So, they reverted the weapons that were obtained otherwise.

If you like the skin, you need to join the Order of Whispers in your Personal Story and purchase it.

There’s nothing to compensate for. You were never supposed to have that skin anyways, unless you went that path in your story and paid specifically for it.

Pet stow away doesn't work

draeath.8536

Your pet comes out any time you take damage or enter combat. You can put him back shortly after leaving combat (or if you just took fall damage, immediately).

It would be nice if there is an option, but I most definitely don’t want it disabled. Would also be nice if it didn’t function for fall damage, but only damage from mobs or players.

I specifically was curious if you could use the skins you buy in pve in pvp. Kinda ruins the point of pve if I cant use my gear in pvp.

SPvP is it’s own little world. If you want more interaction with PvE, go do WvW.

Which tier of gathering tools to carry?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: draeath.8536

draeath.8536

In reality you can use the Trading Post to make way more than vendor price, but when the TP is down it looks to me like you have to carry around 18 different tools to make profit.

Or just a bit of patience, and sell it when the TP is back up.

If you can’t find Lion’s Arch for some reason, queue up for WvWvW. When you get there, you’ll see a Gate that can take you back to Lion’s Arch.

Go to the south docks area of Lion’s Aarch and you should see a bunch of gates going to each race’s capital. Starting area is usually just outside.

Combo spells..

Important to note that your attack simply needs to originate in, terminate in, or pass through the combo field.

You can also combo your own fields.

Here are what all the field types and finisher types do.

Shortbow VS Longbow (Rangers)

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: draeath.8536

draeath.8536

WvWvW: The shorter range on the shortbow makes it a lot harder for me to hit targets without walking into AoE. It’s also just about impossible to hit people on the walls with the shortbow.

As well, if one of them comes after me, I can Point-Blank them back into the meatgrinder.

No Move To Target = PVP and WvW SUCKS for Melee

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: draeath.8536

draeath.8536

If you want to go melee, one thing to consider that doesn’t seem to apply in any other MMO (except Terra) – if there is someone or a mob in the way, the hit will strike them instead of you.

Helpful Tips for New WvWvWplayers

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: draeath.8536

So, as long as you’re on a server where everyone knows instinctively what they’re supposed to do, there’s no problem.

But if you’re on a server where they don’t, you shouldn’t expect any sort of coordination, or attempt any (by the way, ‘coordination’ != ‘zerg’; I have no idea why some of you are interpreting it that way).

In short, if you’re on a server that’s not full of PvP guilds, just don’t bother with WvWvW is what several of you are saying.

That’s not very helpful.

It will only be messy at first. Once the matching system is got everyone figured out, you’ll be playing with other clueless worlds, while all the PvP-heavy worlds will be busy fighting each other.

I would report it as an exploit.

Or if you can get a bunch of people involved, lead the mobs over and see if you can’t get them to attack the idler. He comes back and finds he’s been dead for 2 hours, he might not do it again.

Even if the mob is targeting someone else, if you are in the way you are going to take the hit.

bad/dangerous file permissions

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: draeath.8536

draeath.8536

I’ve noticed that the launcher strips file permissions from gw2.exe, Gw2.dat, and Gw2.tmp.

This is dangerous, as it allows any user (including unauthenticated users!!) to modify the files.

If I manually correct this, the launcher reverts the changes I made on the next launch.

1) I’ve had the same Arenanet account since Guild Wars 1 and I’ve never changed the password. Unless these hackers went back in time and figured out what i used almost a decade ago I don’t see how that’s possible.

And yet you wonder why someone might be able to guess or brute force the password?

- Check if your skills can start or finish combos. There’s plenty of info on the wiki under Combos. Makes things even more fun if you’re with a ton of people like the group events, trying to land the combos!

Lets you boost your participation even if you’re not directly dealing damage!

Any balanced worlds?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: draeath.8536

draeath.8536

They will balance out eventually.

Once people stop flopping around and decide what they want to do:

The active WvW servers will get matched to each other. The moderates will get each other, and the non-participants will get matched together.

As well, when are you looking? On my own server, map control swings wildly about based on the time of day. Usually when I get on we are getting mauled, but hours prior to that we have dominance.

It’s not intended to be static. Front lines change.
