Guild Wars 2

i agree with the poster that made this topic . this is something that is not need in the game at all. and women should not have to put up with this trash nor should other people as well have to put up with this trash . and yes kid,s play this game too they do not need to see this stuff as well. hope Anet makes it self clear on these thing,s so every one gets the idea . and thos that want to be uneducated well just block them and if it breaks the tos report them fully .

we have these thing,s in place already .no need for any thing more. myself i find it far more easy to just fully blocking the person or persons who are well not that well educated shall we say . as well as the use of the chat filtering system works great . i just hope there is no cap as too the number of people you can block for these thing,s .

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback thus far, and please keep it coming. Your experiences are very valuable in calibrating the experiments we’re doing and helping us narrow in on the optimal settings for the latency compensation system.

A quick clarification on ping times and latency compensation
I should have explained this clearer initially, so I apologize for the confusion. Ping time is not affected by the latency compensator and there is no correlation between ping time and the experiments we’re doing.

Traditionally, ping is a measure of how long it takes a message to get from your computer to the servers. In GW2, we actually combine this data with a second statistic, which is a guess at how long it will take the server to actually process and respond to your message. So ping measures two things for us: network health and server responsiveness.

A longer ping time in GW2 terms means either your network/Internet connection is slow or losing message, or the server is busy and can’t respond quickly (or both at once). However, the system that monitors ping is completely outside the system that handles latency compensation, so any adjustments we make to the compensator will have no measurable impact on ping times.

There is one way that ping and latency compensation interact, however. If ping time is steady, the LC experiment should make the connection feel a bit smoother. However, if ping time is unsteady or very high, there will be no noticeable improvement, because the message response time will be higher regardless.

Suppose you start with a ping of 100. Our adjustments to the latency compensator should make that ping “feel” more responsive. If your ping goes up to 200, however, the difference made will sort of be swallowed up by the doubling in ping time. If it spikes to 500, as an example, the half-second delay will be impossible to totally hide from view, and the connection will feel worse.

You can think of it like a teaspoon of sugar. If you add the sugar (latency experiments) to a small glass of water (good pings) you get sweet water. If you add the sugar to a swimming pool (bad pings) you won’t even notice the sugar. Also, drinking a swimming pool is bad for you, don’t try it ;-)

It is in some ways unfortunate that so many players are having ping time spikes during this experiment, because it makes it hard to tell if the fine-tuning is working. However, based on our data, it looks like there is an improvement, it’s just subtle, and again it gets swallowed up by the ping problems.

We’re examining our server responsiveness constantly, and there are separate efforts underway to improve that.

The latency experiments are carefully designed to control for ping time spikes and other complications. Suffice it to say it is tricky to sort out the real effects of these experiments, but they are working and making a positive difference. In the spirit of doing good science, I unfortunately can’t reveal all of our testing methods, without risk of introducing bias into the data we collect. So I thank you all for your responses, whether you’ve been benefiting from the experiments or otherwise.

Please keep it coming!

this is the only game iam having any problem with . with other stuff i do there is no problems at all be it streaming or playing xbox . or web surfing that stuff is all fine and good. but when i play this game this weekend so far it still takes me a good 3 to 5 minutes to get on or go from town to town . and that is connected or even using wifi . just will be glad when you get this fixed soon. we all hope

this is a very good topic as it has helped me a lot to get upgrades for my toon,s .as well and almost max out crafting. and get a few small goodies as well too.

Umrae.5124:

The issue is that are are way too little options for males, 3 or 4 in total across all 3 weights. While females have a selection of bras, crop tops and stripes barely covering anything.
Medium class even barely has any skin-tight armor pieces (also very few. Yes I know SOME exist you guys really dont have list the names, I am fully aware of all the armor sets and my wardrobe is almost filled up with every possible armor sets)
Light has clunky clothes so does heavy. Hiding the shirt would open so many options, and I don’t see a reason why it could not be a thing.

and @ham, where did you get the information about the time it takes to code things like this? As I see a post just like that in almost every suggestion thread “Takes too much time to code, not worth it!”

In general I think a feature like that would be beneficial and I dont see how would it harm anyone at all

what ever

the time it takes to code this . it is not worth the doing at all besides the dev teams got more import stuff to fix . but if you want it . just go to south sun cove

for me it does not matter if iam on my wifi or if iam connected to my modem . it takes about 3 to 5 minit,s to load the game up. and then while iam playing and going from town to town via the gates . it takes about 3 miniuts to load up again before i can go do what iam doing. my ping rates trend to run around 90 on 6omb cable . be nice if this was fixed for every one

i went and looked up this information for you all . and it is from Anet so that means its official

Here’s a recent quote by Colin:

After the announcement of HoT, many players were concerned that the old game content would be left in the dust. Unfortunately, that is partially true. But Johanson wanted to reassure players that even though there is a lot of focus on the new HoTness, events like Halloween will still continue and patches will still come to the old game. Johanson believes that there will be plenty to do in the old game for free players.

1.heroes with more open content
2. no people at all
3.towns the only place you see people at all

these renowned quests can be done by one person very fast and easy . no need of other people as they only get in the way. and make the whole thing useless and not worth doing at all

it would be nice if those two kids that constantly remind you that Marjory and Kasmeer are doing something. and the random npc.s that block that bank space was removed from the game or turned off so they did not speak or move . as there has been more then once i had t move around or go to the crafting areas to use the personal bank .

as op on this topic ask the question about henchmen and heroes. it would be a most welcomed add to the game. and i for one would not have the need of people at all. for any thing. and it would only improve this game even more. and make it possible to do pretty much any thing in the game. even tho i know it will not happen . but i will say it would be a great improvement to this game with out question .

PlagueParade.7942:

So, one thing I noticed and completely forgot about when I was doing the underwater fractal was that my helmet would be replaced with the aqua breather this being the case I took a lot more dmg due to not having the AR needed. My question then is:

When will we get an Aqua Breather that has an infusion slot? Even if it is not ascended you could give them an infusion slot like you did the crafted backpieces on their final tier.

this would be a nice little item to have . be it done by crafting it or getting it as a drop of some sort . 1+

a event where you must spend gold to get rewards. is not worth doing at all. not only that but with no drops of loot from kills is not worth doing even more so when there is no extra special items being dropped from the said event . all together not worth the doing of this event at all . nor worth wasting time on a useless event .

Sovereign weapons available during the Queen’s Jubilee cost gold as well as a Favor of the Pavillion. Just saying. There’s a precedent.

that might be but i will be not spending gold in event items at all. nor will i take poor drops . when i get that from farming reg content . all together i revert back to my post . and the so called precedent you speak of is a very pour one at that .

Frankly, I’m fine with throwing in gold for rewards. But this is an event largely marketed at new players, that costs gold, grants no XP, and consists almost entirely of the cosmetic stuff that new players are least interested in.

…what.

well you might be ok with tossing gold at event items . iam not and the offering of rewards is lacking . and that is true but yet iam sure this put a bad taste in the new players mouths too as well . and i bet the new players are just like us not happy with this event. but at lest one can still farm mats and so forth . and save up there gold for some thing good like oh i dont know maybe a new over priced dye or over priced skin from the trading post would be a much better choice then spending gold on a event with no good rewards. or any good drops from said event . that is just my take on doing this event . and so forth

iam with the first poster in this and i got the same reasons too . but i will say what little bit i did play of it . was good and i can not wait for it to come out next month and be able to play it fully and see all the new stuff for the first time. in the mean time iam going to work on getting gem,s and other stuff for then it comes out

The tax is based off of where you live, it’s mandatory sales tax.

I live in texas, so it’s $8.75 for a $100 purchase.
I used to live in mississippi and there was no sales tax.

where i live there used to be no sale tax online in michigan . up till just this year the state passed a into law we got to pay tax for stuff online. mi state tax being 6% the game cost me $3.00 tax for the pack i got. i do not like it but i will say for that price iam ok with it . at lest i did not have to wait till the pack came out in the store . and still got no disc,s for it . lol

ham.8209:

after reading some more on this topic. i got to say and will admit that if it is done and Anet brings Dueling it would be best if they put it in the guild halls or in pvp or wvw . as that would be the best way only to make it work to put it in the open pve world game will and would not be a good thing. and i think Anet gets it .

Arena net already say that duel can happen in guild hall. Guild hall player can duel 1v1 or PvP with different number of player. It seem arena net know that many people do not want duel in open world so they made a compromise. There will now be 3 places to PvP. WvW, regular PvP, and soon guild hall. Only one place that is only for PvE and it is fair for PvE to stay like that.

sigh i just said that in my post if you read it. and far as it goes doing it that way iam fine with it . and think it will be a great add to thos who are in guilds and wish to do this. sigh

I have a prepaid card with 50 dollars on it and I think I would like to go ahead and buy heart of thorns since I got it unexpectedly. It has exactly 50 dollars on it is the problem, will I have enough for Heart of thorns, living in the US in Michigan or will there be a tax with the actual total coming out to 50+?

iam from the same state as you . and i can tell you depending on the pack you buy. you will need to add $4.00 to fully cover. the state of michigan online sales tax of 6%. so you buy the $49.99 pack it will cost you $54.00 from the web site . and for a $3.00 tax on a downloaded video game . that is bad but not too bad giving how this state is . hope this helps you and good luck

Then he would be better off buying the expansion from Amazon, since they do not add tax for Michigan customers.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468512

but if he did do that there is still yet another problem he will be facing with mine and his state . and that is this if you live in michigan and buy something from online and do not pay the states sales tax on what you buy . then at tax time the state will be asking for there money. or take it out of your state tax refunds if you have one that is. so needless to say. just best off to pay the $3.00 tax now and be done with it.

Torolan.5816:

As duelling is the little sister of open world PvP and open world PvP is the little brother of forced PvP everywhere I would rather not have Anet open that box.

Btw, why not use a PvP server for duells, or WvW? Just don´t duell where raids run, so you already can duell.

One of the few things that would really drive me away from GW2 would be a:
XX Roxxxor XX challenges you to a duel Accept/Decline
window.
Rinse, repeat, rinse repeat. Please no.

i agree with you fully on this . as this is not what this game needs is some kitten wow junk.or other wise like i said before Anet did that they better be ready to loose a lot of people over it .

Arnox.5128:

About 2 years ago, Colin said in a PAX interview that, a ways down the line, they would like to implement this. But that was 2 years ago. And the only thing we have right now is pretty much what we had back then. So has there been any word on this now? AFAIK, there hasn’t been.

BTW, I know a lot of people have some concerns about dueling. But at the end of the day, I think the fears are simply unfounded.

1. People have said that dueling would lead to constant harassment for duels and trolling.

Now let’s just get something straight here. If people want to troll, they’re gonna troll, and they don’t need dueling to do so. Furthermore, there are MANY easy ways around this issue. For one, ANet could have it to where you can only duel with your friends and guildmates. Or maybe even just make it to where you can set up a whitelist for everyone who can duel you. And/or have an option to block all duels and add a small icon in someone’s target readout that shows they’re not open to dueling.

2. People have also said the game’s not balanced for 1v1.

Honestly? I don’t personally care if it is or isn’t. Awesome PvP builds come and go every single day. I expect dueling strategies and builds to be no different. What was once the new hotness build today is most probably gonna be the old and busted build tomorrow. Also, it’s kind of hard to believe this considering sPvP is not THAT different from 1v1 at all.

3. And finally, people have said it goes against the spirit of GW2 which is co-op.

The spirit of GW2 though is the players. And if this game was really focused purely on co-op then why the heck do we even have WvW and sPvP? This argument really doesn’t make any sense. Heck, even if we applied this argument purely to PvE, it still doesn’t make any sense as it’s not going to stop others in the slightest from co-oping for bosses and events and what have you. And if anything else, it may even add some more life to areas that are devoid of players or at least mostly devoid. And perhaps even encourage more player interactivity besides just staring at each other for a second before moving on to whatever else they were doing.

-

So then, why do I want it so much? Because…

4. It gives more intractability with other players in PvE. If you see someone even halfway interesting looking in PvE, the most you can do is talk with them. Maybe form a group or something. But that’s about it. If you’re not doing co-op with them, the person might as well not even be there. And that’s lame. We should be able to do more with each other. I mean, at the end of the day, this IS an MMO. And one which focuses heavily on PvP too.

5. It gives more point to the endgame loot you can earn. The more endgame loot you have should equal greater build options and variety and strategy you can implement just like in normal PvP.

6. It allows one to quickly test oneself against another. It also allows for practice and is also a great way to pass the time with friends.

So please, please, please ANet. let’s put this in. Sometime. I know you’re busy with HoT at the moment but when you’re done, please at least consider putting this in next.

Anet made a lot of promises that they have not come to make happen yet. needless to say there are some of us players who hope Anet never put,s this kitten dueling junk in the game . and Anet could loose a lot of people over this junk . this is not WOW this is GW2 . it is useless and takes away from the game. it is bad as a guild sending a out a invite to some one who does not want to be bothered with guilds even . much less other people . #justsaying

While you wait for ArenaNet to fix it, you can always minimize your loading screen, as your task bar will signal you when the game has loaded. Nothing to irritate you that way. =)

Ok, anet!

This needs to be changed ASAP. I think a lot of people here will agree with me.

Miniatures from Black Lion Chest should not be account bound!

We pay real money to buy gems and with those black lion keys, so by getting miniatures that are account bound is totally unfair to the players.

From Miniature Hawk, Raven, Snow owl, Super Monkey, Super Bee Dog, Super Banana, Yeti and Spider ……….

I am personally very disappointed in getting those minis in my Black lion chest and not even being able to sell them.

I have 32 account bound miniatures in my bank that I got from Black Lion Chest, and I deleted few.

For what? What is the reason that you had to put them to be account bound!

What is the purpose of having and getting multiple minis when you can show only one at a time.

Having it account bound is something that turns people down in buying the keys.

Please consider changing it.

Thank you

Masha Mk

i have to disagree with you . and i hope the mini,s are left where they are and not made to be able to be traded at all .

It makes sense to have some BL exclusive minis as an enticement to buy keys. The problem with not making them at least usable in the forge is that too many one time rewards erodes the incentive to get more keys.

Selling on the TP would kill exclusivity, but what’s the harm in making them usable in the forge?

you can toss all the mini,s you like in the forge . if that is what you like to do with them but they should not be made able to trade them with other player,s just saying. besides honestly chest,s and key,s and mini,s too are noting more then a waste of time and also slows down the servers with all these kitten mini,s out. #justsaying

Its annoying as hell on the loading screens for me at least, its maybe simply
the effect that it appears not directly with the screen but pops in a small time
later.

And its each time .. not just now and then .. now on ever single loading screen.

agreed this is a major pain every time you map this comes up. it is not like we do not know there is a new pack coming out or that this is a beta weekend. there are thos who have not bought the game pack for there own reason,s and some of us are still waiting for more information on the new pack . and then there are thos who will not buy the pack at all. point is this is a big problem and hope Anet fixes it soon or they could loose new customers over it.

I doubt they will have any major Halloween event going on this year. ArenaNet might think it’s too much of a distraction from the expansion. If there is an event, I’m willing to bet it will be limited in scope or just a rehash of prior years’ content.

i have to agree with you on this fully. i do not see a Halloween this year.i got to admit tho even if its the rehashed stuff at lest it,s something and better then noting at all.

Paulytnz.7619:

Ummm, sorry but I just have to say that if you think levelling in this game is a grind that I think you are doing it wrong….

If you are trying to level up how you do in most other games by killing mobs for their exp, that is just doing it wrong. You need to explore the maps, complete them or just stick to doing events all over. You can of course level up quicker by crafting etc but that’s not even really needed. Completing just 1 map a day gets you to 80 in a matter of 2 weeks. Well at least it has for me every time I have sent a new alt through world complete…

one map a day you must be joking i find it more easy to do 3 maps a day if iam trying to do them . just saying . and the point is not about leveling at all or any thing like that . what it is about is having a party full of heroes . that have max armor and skills set,s that help you go where ever you like in pve or dungeons with out the need or help of real people at all . umm not sorry just saying the truth about this topic

Steza.1508:

Well I guess the bright side to it all is you could buy the standard edition for $49.99 ($66.25) and then grind 2,400 gems to upgrade after it’s release. Other then that wait it out, they forecast it’s only going to drop more so we’ll see how.

this is a good move and at lest it will not cost so much . and iam looking at this sounds like a good deal to me. and maybe the best real money saver too

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

Behellagh.1468:

It’s not that there are only five in the world, just five for sale. People who have the skin sitting in the bank understands that nobody, well seller, wins if a price war erupts on an item that haven’t seen any way to get more of in nearly 3 years. And whoever holds onto the last one wins.

And for the Ghastly Shield, I count 8 sales in the last month not counting those that went to a high bidder and 3 for the Greatsaw.

Same thing is true with ticket skins and exclusive dyes although they take a hit more frequently with items returning to the Gem Shop or ticket exchanger.

Why is it none of you can view these for what they are? High end collectibles… limited time items of limited availability in a supply and demand market… what’s confusing?

I don’t have a problem with it. I was simply countering that they are only X left in the game. And if you are sitting on one, why get into a price war?

and you all are missing the point fully here. and oh there is no X or aZ or A even evolved into this . that is not what this and the original topic was about till a mod got merge happy out of the blue . it is about this and that is there was no birthday week . and from what i know there might not be a Halloween as well this year . now you all can fight about A and X and Z all you like np at all . if that is what makes you happy fine so be it. but getting back on topic here ask you self’s this one and only one question why why is it there is no birthday party,s in la this year. and why is it there has not been very many Holiday in game event,s . like there was in GW1 . my book says this if it,s pay they want to do these events all weekend long . then why do they not just say so ???? or is it they just do not want to see the players have fun like we used to do for thos of us who played GW1 . just saying now i spoken my peace about this topic . and hope it does not get locked like all the other topics have been. and there is good ideas and talk that come out of topic now with that said iam off to find me some fun !!!

I would like to buy a line break

i would like to give you a free line break if the mod,s would let me and not merge topics like this together so blindly .

The OP was wondering if we were going to get Halloween since HoT is being released before hand and Colin said in an interview we would. His next question is if skins from 2012 would get released again. This will be the 4th Halloween and other than a raffle last year, 2012 skins haven’t returned as a BLTC item.

Now this is where the conversation wandered. The notion that nobody is buying those skins off the TP at the current price. But players are. Sure rereleasing them will drop the price a bit and more players can get one but they were skins tied to a one time event in the past and those skins can be used as a symbol that a player “was around then”. Even if they did buy one for 40g off the TP (which was about $40€ of gems then which is 600 gold today) back then.

But right now those skins are priced at what the market will bear.

ok far as op and that stuff . this is where the topics to not belong together but the smart mod,s merged it . needles to say your right on your point,s with the skin,s and so forth .

i WTB a non merging mod for 10 Billion Gold please . LOL

Merged? No wonder the topic went haywire, from Halloween? to an argument about skins and prices. Lol.

yeah really glad some one else can see this problem happen as of late too. be nice if it got fixed .but know that will not happen . sigh

Ithilwen.1529:

Like it or not, the grind is a major part of playing GW1 and GW2 albeit with a change of format. I’ve taken to alternating one game with the other while my [Signet of Patience] is on CD.

How about making Heroes and Henchies unlockable in GW2? I’d even pay for a gem store hero.

There’s plenty of precedent for this, as any player of Star Trek Online ( STO ) knows. It would make leveling without traits less painful and make the grind a bit smoother.

not only that but make them come with there own armor max and so forth . but let us give them good weapon,s and and dye them too as well . just like we can in GW1 . not only they but give them good working skill set,s that really do work . and let us take them into the great PVE on known and dungeon,s too as well . sigh how i miss koss and dunko and tallkora in this game sigh

Heylel.2109:

Good ’ol Charrs, and good ’ol 55HP Monks, how I miss them.

To be fairly honests, I feel they had more personality before than now in GW2, to make them a playable race (And allied with humans on top of that.) kinda turned them bland.

very well said and i agree with you fully on this . and i been working on my hom stuff so at lest there is still some fun to be had there. and you can not for get about RT/Necro,s too

It’s not that there are only five in the world, just five for sale. People who have the skin sitting in the bank understands that nobody, well seller, wins if a price war erupts on an item that haven’t seen any way to get more of in nearly 3 years. And whoever holds onto the last one wins.

And for the Ghastly Shield, I count 8 sales in the last month not counting those that went to a high bidder and 3 for the Greatsaw.

Same thing is true with ticket skins and exclusive dyes although they take a hit more frequently with items returning to the Gem Shop or ticket exchanger.

Why is it none of you can view these for what they are? High end collectibles… limited time items of limited availability in a supply and demand market… what’s confusing?

I don’t have a problem with it. I was simply countering that they are only X left in the game. And if you are sitting on one, why get into a price war?

and you all are missing the point fully here. and oh there is no X or aZ or A even evolved into this . that is not what this and the original topic was about till a mod got merge happy out of the blue . it is about this and that is there was no birthday week . and from what i know there might not be a Halloween as well this year . now you all can fight about A and X and Z all you like np at all . if that is what makes you happy fine so be it. but getting back on topic here ask you self’s this one and only one question why why is it there is no birthday party,s in la this year. and why is it there has not been very many Holiday in game event,s . like there was in GW1 . my book says this if it,s pay they want to do these events all weekend long . then why do they not just say so ???? or is it they just do not want to see the players have fun like we used to do for thos of us who played GW1 . just saying now i spoken my peace about this topic . and hope it does not get locked like all the other topics have been. and there is good ideas and talk that come out of topic now with that said iam off to find me some fun !!!

I would like to buy a line break

i would like to give you a free line break if the mod,s would let me and not merge topics like this together so blindly .

The OP was wondering if we were going to get Halloween since HoT is being released before hand and Colin said in an interview we would. His next question is if skins from 2012 would get released again. This will be the 4th Halloween and other than a raffle last year, 2012 skins haven’t returned as a BLTC item.

Now this is where the conversation wandered. The notion that nobody is buying those skins off the TP at the current price. But players are. Sure rereleasing them will drop the price a bit and more players can get one but they were skins tied to a one time event in the past and those skins can be used as a symbol that a player “was around then”. Even if they did buy one for 40g off the TP (which was about $40€ of gems then which is 600 gold today) back then.

But right now those skins are priced at what the market will bear.

ok far as op and that stuff . this is where the topics to not belong together but the smart mod,s merged it . needles to say your right on your point,s with the skin,s and so forth .

i WTB a non merging mod for 10 Billion Gold please . LOL

put it like this play what feels best to you and you like . and do not worry about builds and all that . just pick a class that you like build it your self . and enjoy your self and if half way into it . another class gets your eye well then go enjoy it instead . the main thing is pick what you like and how you like and do not care about the rest . but have a whole lot of fun . and enjoy the game for what it is . and the rest will just come to you .

Halloween or riot.

I love Halloween in Guild Wars. I even play it in GW1. It’s the one time of the year the wife knows she has zero chance of getting me away from the PC. Halloween and Guild Wars is tradition in my house. I book time of work and everything. Been doing it for the last 10 years. Don’t let me down ANet. Brake the cycle and I might never get it back!

very well said and agreed with fully . and if for some reason they do not want to do as players ask of them . at lest for now we still got good old GW1 to enjoy . and i for one hope it never shuts down . !!!

Thanks the the responses. Tho this does raid the question, If someone buys a core game at a retail store for the full price, (My local walmart still has a couple copies on the shelves for full price) will that copy get auto upgraded to HoT as it would have been purchased after the point in time when the full purchase was for HoT alone and that simply included the core.

nope in order to get the core game free you must by hot . and then you are given the core game GW2 free . and not the other way around. . i could not find the link with this info for you but it is in the hot forums i think that tells about this . but to answer your question in short you got to by hot to get the core game free .

Having a boss fail after wasting up to 2 hours waiting and 10 minutes fighting is just no good.

Do people really wait 2 hours for a particular boss? Do you mean, standing there at the boss location, waiting..? I’m not being sarcastic, just curious if that’s the case.

some do some dont and some have a toon parked there. but most only wait about 30 before the event happens .

Bensozia.8071:

I believe there is a 72 hour delay on the gems. It was put in place to thwart fraud.

yup there sure is and you can only wait for it to go by . but once it does all happy campers yet once again

Menadena.7482:

People are getting complacent and letting the “Teq always succeeds, we do not need to organize” crowd speak for them. Tonight almost nobody could be cajoled to do a defense team so our team chose to defend turrets and only try fighting the champs if we were sure we would not get killed (which we almost did even trying to keep our distance with Krait pulling us in). This meant some of the champ fighting was taking place right behind the turrets.

I suppose our team could have tried to map hop. Let the people there see what bone walls look like. Maybe then they would have realized the only reason why they thought things were ‘easy’ is because we were 2 people doing the work of 5 (and at 2 we were the team with the most people).

Anet, can you PLEASE make Teq hard again?

it would be nice if Anet made Teq kittence again . and not only that fix his kitten flopping around when he lands too . good thing there is no big splash from it when he does land maybe

Here’s a recent quote by Colin:

After the announcement of HoT, many players were concerned that the old game content would be left in the dust. Unfortunately, that is partially true. But Johanson wanted to reassure players that even though there is a lot of focus on the new HoTness, events like Halloween will still continue and patches will still come to the old game. Johanson believes that there will be plenty to do in the old game for free players.

agreed on that fully thus so in the mean time with not being able to get the game from amazon its self in the USA. needless to say iam stuck with getting it from here on the gem store . and in the mean time wait for it to go on sale some time and get a second account . or just buy more toon slot,s from the gem store.

You can’t purchase the expansion in the gem store, only the Deluxe upgrade to the standard edition of the expansion.

Or did you mean the GW2 website store?

i meant the web store .

who says its not legal? the codes not being hacked to mass distribute, its not even copyright infringement. they havnt claimed to be Anet, nor the host of companies that work with or for Anet. XD just another person selling off things they find useful to others. if you ask me, Anet is too stuffy. fact is the property the person bought is theirs, they can do whatever they see fit with it, be it sell it off, or keep it.

it is a shame that in the USA Anet one is using game stop which is not that great by any means . if they went with another one like amazon it would give a more better and easy way to get this game. since from what i get there will be no disc,s at all coming with this game at all . so we in the USA are stuck with our choice of game stop or the gem store. not sure how that works out for thos wanting a second account. maybe after the game comes out Anet will let amazon sell it too

Both AmazonUS and AmazonUK sell Heart of Thorns for pre-purchase, only that the former is a digital serial code and the latter is a box with the code on a pamphlet.

i see but the Amazon Us with the digital serial code i tend to think Anet says that is not legal for some stupid reason . but it would be nice to have another choice with getting this game then getting it from game stop down load,s which with game stop downloads for me is very pain full .
