Yes there has been an amount of threads. Personally I disagree with any other suggestion besides making all story mode dungeons part of the personal story. I disagree with it being awfull as it is. The story is great, the balance in difficulty however is totally off.

As for linking, I’m not a search engine and you dont have to look far.

This clearly not a bug but intended with the last update. They saw that conditions made him too vulnarable and easy to kill (and he is very easy in my opinion). This doesnt mean you are wrong in your opinion. Just stating that this thread belongs in the southsun cove discussion section and not in the bug section.

Maybe change your role in the party as a condition-orientated player. Pick up one of those rifles and and lure him to mines and use skill 4 to CC him

sharing an account is against the user agreement so what you are doing is technically against the rules.

Basically you shouldn’t have listened to your girlfriend when she insisted to use hers (and believe me, normally im on the woman’s side in a discussion, they just hit too hard :P ).

Having said that, the best way to solve it is to come open to Arenanet. Basicly your girlfriend is the account owner, so she has to open a supportticket explaining that she never used the account herself and that it was mend as a gift but she made a mistake. She can request to rectify this mistake by changing the emailadres to yours.

Keep in mind that account ownership issues are very difficult for support to solve cause they don’t want the wrong person to get access. In the end you (likely due to un-awareness) have broken the rules of this game and it might be problamatic for support to sort it out.

Account Suspended - Third party program

in Account & Technical Support

As title says, I am suspended for using a third party program.

First off all, you have posted in the 3 day review sticky. This is very inapropiate. If you want to make a case out of this I urge you to remove that. It doesnt add a thing but spreading your current grief in a topic not designed for these discussions.

“After completing my review of this incident, I have concluded that your account does not fit all of the criteria for the violation that led to the block. I have reversed the action taken against this account and have noted the account accordingly.”

My point is I got blocked for nothing.
I removed the post in the other topic.

There is no automated banning system.
But if you send gold with just an empty message then you almost ask to get banned.
If you (and the ones who send gold to you) take time to make a nice message and send that with the gold, the moderators will see that it was not a bot/hacker/third party program who is sending gold to a specific target account.

We use the guild bank, why would sending empty mails be wrong though?

If they review my account when I send a ticket and they see it does not fit all of the criteria for the so called violation, why on earth did they not see this before they put me on suspended?

Another thing is I still have no clue what caused them to even think I fitted the criteria. How am I supposed to prevent this from happening again if they just block people out of no where? I rather have a moderator stalking me, reading chat, item logs and what not because I know I am following all the rules and they should know this before even doing something.

Suspending/Banning people in error is wrong and they should have very solid evidence before performing such action.

I think you should re-read my post bout what Gaile less then a week ago have stated. Arenanet agrees with you. I agree with you and I think everyone agrees with you. But I dont want arenanet to stop suspending the bad guys in fear of a false suspension either.

Don’t get me wrong. I know and totally understand that you are upset and feel angry, but you are wasting your energy here. All that needs to be done is being taken care of as we speak. But even Gaile cant change things at the site of support overnight. I know she is often compared with superwoman (and with good reasons), but even she has her limitations.

So like I said. You can choose: either let your anger go an be happy you got access back or give arenanet the ultimate punishment: loosing a customer. Crying how angry and frustrated you are out here won’t do you much good. Believe me, I have been there fighting those windmills.

Trahearne Feels Like a Mary Sue.

in Personal Story

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

He’s a bit of a Mary Sue – largely because unless you play a fig-tree he just comes out of nowhere at level 50 or so and is suddenly the most important thing since individually packaged sliced cheese.

Even if you do play a fig-tree, all that gives you is a chance to meet him early on and learn that he’s “Mr. Important and mysterious.”

You don’t see him evolve as a character, or even show a flaw. He’s a scholar one moment and a marshal the next – but that’s just kind of handed to him, and not through character growth.

The flaw I find in a lot of the characters in GW2 is that they put their stories on the website / wiki or whatever, and not in the game. Though with this guy, the story isn’t even on the website…

He’s just BATMAN. And we’ve got to deal with it.

I feel that Destiny’s Edge is much more suited to lead the Pact

Who had fought a dragon before? Not Trahearne
Who wield the legendary swords of Ascalon? Not Trahearne
Who actually battled their way to experience? Not Trahearne
Who joined together despite each of them being from separate race? Not Trahearne, obviously
Who has extensive, developed stories? Not Trahearne
Who suddenly got an Excalibur just because? Definitely Trahearne.

I mean, by the Six Gods and Abaddon below, we have so many heroes to choose from: Logan, Caithe, Eir, Rytlock, Zojja?

What about the Firstborns?
What about the High Legions?
What about the College Headmasters?
What about the Seraphs? The Lionguards?
What about the Vigil?
What about the Whispers?
What about the Priory?

Noooo…. it has to be this saladistic scholar here.

Despite my own problems with Trahearne I have to correct you. Trahearne isnt a scholar. It would indicate him being a member of the priory and he isnt.

He is however someone who has studied Orr his entired life and he isn’t just a firstborn, but he is THE firstborn.

It’s perfectly ok to hate Trahearne as I do, but please do it for the correct reasons :P

Suggestions from the Roleplaying Community

in Suggestions

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

1: This would currently only go for Piken, cause tarnished coast is always full. The problem I have with a tag is that it would be a confirmation that those servers are RP-servers. On itself that isnt a problem, but other games that had such confirmations also had server specifick rules enforcing people to role play. The beauty of GW2 is the freedom to do what you want, making them officially would give people the impression they are forced to roleplay in a certain direction.

2: Hmmmmm, almost every district has one or two of those houses. I’m actually missing this more in other home towns. But then again, there can be never enough of them :P

3: They are adding them with almost every introduction of new items in the gemstore. :P

4: Not my thing, but why not

Voice Customisation in Character Creation?

in Personal Story

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

Knowing a thing or two bout voice acting, it is nearly impossible to do it on a full scale level with speed and pitching and still have it sync with the characters lips and bug free.

Having said that, we currently have 10 different voices for characters, maybe bring that number up to like 20 and give you on character selection 7 options to pick from (depending on race and gender).

First of all, all of you here are not qualify to answer any questions about anything if you’re not working for Anet.

Im truly sorry. Your speaking on a public forum and expecting not to have reactions from the public??

It’s anet’s decission to discuss these things open with everyone to see. We have all the right to react here and all the right to express our feelings bout this. You are wrong here.

Almost every country has something called freedom to speak. But I guess your so full of yourself you are not open to see I am trying to help and I was actually on your side.

But I’m seriously thinking why bother trying to help people here if this is the kind reaction you get.

Stuck on Euro servers

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

I disagree with IC in this case. Servers are not marked as very full. Some NA servers are marked as full and some as very high. At the moment all NA servers are very high or full. So you clicked the EU-tab in the window and selected a server on the EU. If you now disagree with your decission to pick a EU-server you have made a human error.

I dont think that support can do much for you then to advise what I’m going to advise.

You have 2 options:
a: get 1800 gems and transfer to a server in NA. This cost bout 20 USD.
b: delete all your characters and transfer to a server in NA for free (you can place all but soulbound items in your bank as well as all your money, they will be kept and help you getting a small headstart).

I do agree with IC’s last line: Good luck, and welcome to Tyria!

Account Suspended - Name Violation

mercury ranique.2170

If you disagree with the GM decission you can always make a support ticket.

I have gone over the names listed here and honestly don’t see anything wrong. Baal is not a purely christian reference but used in many many relgions for the chaos-power (underworldboss, demon, bad guy, etc). It isnt a religious statement at all.

Necibus is a bit tricky as well, but not more as baal. Cause it translates as slaughters or violent deaths. The plural form is indesisive either. One translates roughly as ’ move to violent deaths’ but the other translates as ‘against violent deaths’

Beside a plural form of the latin world Nex I don’t see something wrong with this.

You can always ask support to explain themself.

thanks for the reply

I didn’t get the EotN portal stone on release, and i have got the stone from the merchant but each time i talk to kimmes i am unable to claim any reward. There is no error message, just some lines of dialogue.

i’ve heard about logging into gw1 and then trying to claim the rewards. But i don’t have the game installed on this PC and would prefer it if i didn’t have to download the game again. is there any other fix i can get for this?

Please read my post. The message your getting is that your accounts hasn’t been linked properly. The solution IC is proposing is a valid one, but I do understand that you dont want to install the game. You can however check if the link is done properly on this website.

If you still have issues and dont want to try IC’s workaround you can and should contact support.

How the fug did they get my email ? I’m extremely meticulous with it and yet they know that i have access to this game ? Bull.

I’m gonna come up with a witty reply for the ahole scammer.

You can’t reply to the mail, cause they spoofed the arenanet adress, so a witty reply will end up in arenanets inbox and prolly deleted. The real scammer is gonna make sure he is unreachable. He has no interest in your reply, but in your account details. He is a bad person and there is not much to be done bout them.

The scammer doesnt know you have access to the game. In the past I had simular mails for e.g. World of Warcraft (wich I never played).

Account Suspended - Third party program

mercury ranique.2170

As title says, I am suspended for using a third party program.

Now I know the policy and I know this isn’t the actual reason why I got suspended, I am pretty sure it has to do with transferring gold to other players and I think this is a serious problem if I can’t send & receive gold from & to my friends and getting banned over it.

I can not possibly imagine this is “human error” as that is what you claimed when everyone else got banned a while ago. Since I am currently suspended I can’t play GW2 but I certainly won’t later if there is an automated banning system going on.

Besides if this counts as my “first offense” for doing nothing wrong, what point is there in playing when I face permanent suspension for doing nothing wrong 10 times?

130530-000281

First off all, you have posted in the 3 day review sticky. This is very inapropiate. If you want to make a case out of this I urge you to remove that. It doesnt add a thing but spreading your current grief in a topic not designed for these discussions.

From that thread I understand that you have been unsuspended within hours. You are asking what happens with your 2th or 3rd offense?. Not really much. With support recognising they made a mistake your account has been cleaned. So if you start using a bot now and you got caught that would count as your first offense.

Arenanet has many times stated that all suspensions are made by a human and that all false suspensions are made by human error. Yours is no exception. That might also be the reason that you believe the suspected flag (the reason that a GM investigate you) was for goldselling. And that the GM in question hitted the wrong reason-option in the suspension tool. But I dont think the reason they stated for the suspension is the issue but the fact that it happened.

Recently I had here a discussion with arenanet. Gaile stated in a post that 99% of the suspensions are not done in error.. Some people doubted that number. I can’t proof it and have to believe her (and actually do). But I also stated that 1% error marging shouldnt be the goal, but 0%. Off course human errors can be made. But as a recent victum you will agree that every error is one too many.

Soon Gaile reacted to me and others that she is going to start an internal discussion bout this to review all processes involved in suspending people and that she agrees that the goal should be 0% mistakes, even if thats and impossible goal.

Unfortunally such a discussion takes time and untill the processes have changed to prevent a false suspension as in your case, these things can happen (and even afterwards). You just had a very negative experience with the company. It’s up to you to trust them they are doing their best to take these mistakes serious and prevent them in the future. Nobody will blame you if you dont give arenanet a second change and when you turn your back to the game and to future expansions.

Hiya,

Its not a problem to post here but nothing else can be done bout it. You might want to post your ticketnumber here so that arenanet personal and officials can track it.

A suspension is never done on reports only. A GM checks the logs and suspend you on his/her verdict of the situation. So you (or rather your account) has been doing wrong things in the eyes of a GM working for arenanet.

The authentication attempt points in the direction of a hacker. So lets asume this situation.

First off all a GM will investigate this matter further. They will compare the bad behaviour with the IP-adress that was loggged in when it was done. After it is confirmed you where hacked during those activity’s they will help you to prevent the hacker from accessing your account in the future. After they assured thats ok you will get unsuspended.

If things are missing, vandalised or anything on your account you can request an account restoration.

Keep in mind. All of this takes time. Your security has been breached and support will help you. It just takes time to help you fully.

Hi and welcome to this section to the forum.

First off all I want you to make sure you understand how you can claim your rewards. First of all you need an eye of the north portal stone. if you dont have it in your inventory you can get one in lions arch. A karma merchant sells them on a second tab for 0 karma.

See the included map for guidelines where to go.

Use the stone to travel to the ruins of the eye of the north and walk to the hall. There you will find kimmes who sells you the skins (for free).

If you did all this and your getting an error message when talking to Kimmes you want to click my account on this site (top right corner) and then upgrade or link account. You should see a congratulations message.

If not you can try and link your account again.

If you walk into any error on the way or did all of this without a positive result please make a ticket to support https://en.support.guildwars2.com/ (ask a question)

Good luck!!

Issues with Map Completion

mercury ranique.2170

For WvWvW there are two things you need:
a: patience
b: luck

No matter how good or bad your server is in WvWvW, you will always have parts of the map owned by your enemy’s. The good thing however is that things rotate periodicly.

I checked daily if I could get things that day i couldnt get before. Everytime the new match was been setup and the maps rotated I joined a zerg and slowly uncovered everything.

Disagree with the no matter how bad or good your server is comment. The server I am on is bad and I do mean bad and no amount of patience or luck will ever help.
Zero areas taken/owned on 3 out of 4 maps. There has been general discussions in Lions Arch about just how bad our server is. The only chance I will ever have is if map rotation is initiated or pay to transfer. In hindsight I should have done it when transfers were free.

Im not saying it doesnt make a difference. I am saying also a lot of luck comes with it bout how the rotation turns out. So dont expect a perfect situation when you change servers.

Endorsing Slavery?

You are helping the lion guard.
On one hand the lionguard is doing what they can to get the settlers out peacefully by getting their contracts. On the other hand we don’t want this to turn into a civil war so Settlers who go to far in fighting things will be defeated. You might have noticed that the leaders of the riots are the only ones needed to be killed. The rest might die in the battle but when the leader is killed and peace is returned, all is good again.

So we are not on the side of the consortium or the side of the settlers, we want a peacefull solution and not like Canach a violent one.

When I was trying to logon , it say My account had been terminated for tempering and modifying the game . I’m not sure how did I modify . I had stop for a month or so.

In the pass weeks when I was still plying I spend my time farming cof , wvw and spvp. In average we spend about 1-5 hours farming cof depending on my net conditions .

Most of the time I have Skype and team speak on.

Can you please help to check on this account. I’m sad , angry and feeling so helpless .

Being human

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

I dont think the fact that your now human makes the difference, but due to totally different reasons the human starter area is much higher populated. Without spoiling too much bout end game and how it works, it has to do with the events on that specifick starter area.

Just a hint, I have characters from all races, but cause of this I often use the human starter area most. you can change your starter area from level 2, and even do them all!

… but there are similar events in the Norn, Asura and Sylvari starter areas.

true, like I said I dont want to spoil too much to a new player here. but the human starter area has become popular for end game due to the daily/monthly achievement, a set of events that are easy, in short range to each other, lots of veterans round also group events, etc.

You can disagree with that, and I also see it is very easy on other maps too, but bottom line is that more people decide to do the monthly events and the monthly veterans in Queensdale then in Metrica province.

I prefer jeztar falls in metrica for the aquatic killer and often stay around for the maguuma killer or daily killer. But for events and finding events Queensdale is too attractive, making it more popular. It’s made this way by the community.

Not sure about which warrior

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

what would you do with the other class?

Your title and the rest of your post made me believe both your human and your charr are warriors?? So this got me a bit confused.

If they are not both warriors I would say keep them both and play them both, but pcik the one you like most for your legendary. If they are both warriors, you prolly have to choose. To be honest, the things you have on your human are not significant. The dye would be a loss, but the max armor can be recycled for mats for your legendary. besides that you need a lot more then max gear if your going that path. So pick what you prefer and dont think too much bout the loss at this stage. Your perfectly ok to stay on your human but the loss with your charr will be insignificant when going to a legendary.

How I can use it with my new thief?

You can’t
Before equipping it, it says clearly:
Account bound
Souldbound on equip
(this was also visable before you bought it in the gemstore)

After equipping it, it says clearly:
Soulbound

You even get a very clear warning when equipping to ask you if you are sure cause it will be soulbound to you.

So basicly you made a human error. Arenanet is not responsible and they don’t have to replace it for you.

You can however file a support ticket and explain that you made a stupid mistake. Depending on your history they MIGHT be kind to you and replace it.
Keep in mind that they might not be able to do so (they dont have the power to create things on the live servers) and they can only refund you the gems (wich is again on to their mercy to do so, cause it is in the end your mistake).

You can contact support at https://en.support.guildwars2.com/ (ask a question)

Weapon Attack Range?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

The weapons dont have a range. The skills you are using through the weapons have a range. The auto-attack is basicly spamming skill 1 (on default, you can always change the auto-attack skill).

Staff skill one on a mesmer has a range of 1200. Staff skill one on a guardian has a range of 600. It’s the skill thats being channeled through the weapon that does the damage and so also the range. Not the weapon itself.

Are you farming them with MF-gear on?? MF gear increases the chance to receive higher-quality loot from dead foes. This also lower the change to get lower-quality loot so is for this farm counter productive. They drop directly from foes as a fine quality (wich is low quality loot) and from moldy bags (basic quality). So MF doesnt do anything at best but make you kill slower.

Off course when selling the stuff you farm to buy the dust it doesnt matter what you farm and a few extra yellows and oranges cause of MF never hurt right

Dye Drop Rate

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

There was a patch a couple of months ago where the dye drop rate probably double. A couple of days to a week later Anet said they restored the drop rate back to ‘normal’. This was right after they stealth nerfed ranger DPS on sbow #1 saying that it was an ‘animation’ glitch. When the community showed that it actually lowered DPS, the dev (Jon Peters) said they did that on purpose, confirming that they pretty much lied to the community.

A lot of people took this as a bad sign, left a bad taste in the mouth, whatever, and assumed that when they put the dye rates back to ‘normal’ they actually reduced it even further than what it originally was.

Maybe stop bringing non related half truths into a very good question.
If you dont like the game and distrust anet, pülease go to the general discussion or even better stop playing. This is the players helping players section.

To the OP. It seems to me personally that droprate differs from place to place. I did a good amount of dungeons and can’t remember any dye drop. The same go for when I’m farming events. It is a purely open world drop, with a bonus change from plants.

So it depends a lot of what you are doing and where.

I hope you have allready reviewed your personal security. Support will likely not give a rollback unless the breach in security has been sealed. This for the simple reason that if it isnt secure yet, you’ll have the same situation within a week.

Good ways to Farm crystalinne Dust?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

Although the wiki is stating risen to be dropping the dust I think thats only in the moldy bags. The dust I see dropping is from spectrals, elementals and wraths. But the penitent waypoint loop should be a good way of farming them. for the rest, if you got the 250 of the other stacks needed, start selling the rest and use the money to buy dust.

Goodluck :P

Upgrading Molten Jetpack to Ascended Version

I hope I can contest the wiki and get my plea granted for this. The wiki does not say something specific to the exotic capacitors. Sigh, the effort and the time would sadly go to waste if ever.

Anyhow, thanks for reading the thread. I hope someone from Anet can confirm.

Well it does state so and if your not reading it you are reading it wrong in my opinion.
Besides that, the fact that something is written on the wiki doesn’t make it so:
‘Welcome to the official Wiki, the comprehensive reference written and maintained by the players.’

This is the text on the wiki main page wich should be enough warning that it isnt perfect.

To make matters worse. Support has declared they can’t replace items on the live servers and they dont compensate user errors.

Please understand I’m not saying this to kitten you off but to help you prepare for the inevitable.

Going to support GW2. what to buy?

I agree with Essence.

The molten pick is out of the shop afaik but is replaced by the consortium sickle. Those things are a very good pick for farming. But are also soulbound, and you might want to change later. Same goes for many of the skins. So besides an extra banktab or an upgrade to digital deluxe I dont see a lot of things you can do right now. Off course you could always support now and stack the gems up till later.

Question about leaving the game on

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

Testing hardware shouldnt be done through circumventing the game mechanisms. The only way to do it is to use third party software that automate things.

It’s not that your goal is the issue, but what you could do with that third party software.

However, when going through your post history I saw your dumpfile. What I noticed is that you use a realtek audio chipset with the 6.0 driver set. I had some issues with pre-gw2 games with that driver set that made games crash. You might want to visit the manufacturer of the soundcard (or mainboard if it is onboard) to get the latest driver. The newest for the chipset is called 6.3 but offcourse the manufacturer could use a different naming system.

Second timed hacked in 2 weeks

I’ve changed all of my email passwords. I’m using passwords I’ve never used before. I do not share my account with anyone. The guy I live with is my boyfriend and he’s not even into these types of games.

The only password I have been unable to change yet is the NCSoft master account. Says my email is not valid. I don’t even get the email to reset the password after putting in the answers to the secret questions.

I appreciate the intelligent response from you all. x_x

Ok as stated, It is a security problem at your end of the line. This is not something Arenanet can help you with.
I suspect you are using different unique passwords for your email and for your GW2 account and that both are not used on other locations on the internet?

The Last possibility I can think of is that your computer is the problem. The most likely thing is that a hacker installed a keylogger. No matter how many times you change your password then, the hacker has records of everything you typed on your keyboard and so also the new password. I know this is a lot of work but could you do the following:

Backup your important documents and photo’s.
Reinstall windows (all data is lost after this point.
Install your anti virus program
Install other things like hardware drivers
Install GW2 and your email, but do not log in
Change your emailpassword
Change your GW2 password
Now login.
Install all other programs and games you want/need
restore the earlier made back up.

If you have a smart phone (apple, android or windows) you might want to start using the mobile authenticator (‘my account’ on this page and then ‘security’).

I know its a lot of work, but even if you now go to a different online game and you have a keylogger active, the hacker will know that password too.

What profession are you using and what level are you?? The final cultural mission is always a bit harder then the rest as being the end of a story arc. If I remember right this boss is pretty hard but doable if you understand him. The major problem is his explosions. However if you stay ranged its a lot easier to see them coming. For the rest: Stay mobile and stay moving.
