Very likely not.

They can provide a rollback, but they only do when your account was compromised by a third party. Compromised means that someone gained unauthorised access against your will. Now off course you didn’t want you GF to do this but you either invited her in your home or you allready live together and you agreed on living together and sharing a home. So she was rightfully in the room with the computer and didnt force access.

Furthermore you did had the auto-login activated. This means you trusted the people who has access to your computer and your GF did force her way into your account.

This is an issue between you and your gf and Anet will not likely interfere with that.

You do have my symphaty though.

I know the url in your screenshot says guildwars2.com but the url in the red image says gw2.com, which seemingly isn’t owned by ArenaNet. How did you get to the point where you try authorize an IP address? Did you click a link in an email? Or did you go to the site guildwars2.com by typing that address in your web browser?

Gassy, please click ‘My account’ on the top of this page. You will see the same GW2.com link on the same place. So the site seems valid.

1: Writing in caps is not the right way to adress anyone and it hurts my eyes. I understand your upset but this is not helping.

2: I think this went to the PvP locker. You can access this and equip them in the heart of the mists. Be warned that cause you chose them to be a pvp item you can only wear it in sPvP and not in e.g. towns, WvWvW and world maps. The PvP-locker is an actual locker in the hart of the mists

3: If you ment to ge tthe items as a PvE item you may try and file a support ticket at support.guildwars2.com (aska question). I am not saying they will refund the gems, but they might! do that.

Added is a screenshot of me looking in my locker in the hearts of the mist with the slot where the profane chest goes showing and with the minimap showing for guidance where to look in the heart of the mists.

Asuran Graphical Issue: Fractal Staff

The pact staff is not the best reference to be honest. It is a lot longer then most other staffs. From your pics of the fractal staff it is in line with most other staffs on asura’s

There is a suggestion thread somewhere to change the general position of staffs on asura’s. Maybe you want to find that one and give it some support. This doesnt belong in the bug section though.

Orr Temples, Ludicrous or Intentional?

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

The daily’s and monthly’s where added later and definitly not a part of the design of these events.

Bottom line is that I did all temple events several times and with success on the first attempt. Balthazar and Grenth are indeed easier to fail, but still very doable if you know what your doing.

I didn’t mean the design for the events themselves I mean the intent of anet behind adding karma jugs. There is after all no other use for karma apart from legendaries.

I do truly not think that the karma jugs where added to match this but more to make daily achievements more interesting.

How to get new skins?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

Basicly each skin has only one or two ways of getting it. The method differs per skin you want. Some methods used:

- Gem only: these skins are actually bought as skins wich you apply over an existing piece of equipment and can be bought in the TP (be carefull there are also townclothes wich are more limited in usage).

- Crafted: These skins are crafted by players and are often the most available on the trade post.

- Storyline rewards

- Karma traders (renown hearts and later on temple karma merchants)

- weapon and armor smiths

- Cultural armorsmiths (for gold and unique to your race) and Cultural weaponsmith (for karma, can be any race)

- Order armor and weapons (armor is unique to your order wich you picked at level 29 but can be changed with transmuations gems and stones, ask if you want details bout that process, its a bit long to explain)

- Dungeon armor and weapons, available for dungeon tokens, each dungeon has its specifick kind and they drop as a reward for doing explorablemode of that dungeon.

- Hall of monuments armor and weapons (again skins only, these are a reward for playing GW1 for a prolonged time).

- Map completion rewards
- Mystic forge (afaik weapons, backpacks and trinkets only). They require specifick recipes to follow wich can range from a few hours work to several months of work..

Best thing to do is to find out the base name of the weapon of armor you want. the base name is often without the prefix and suffix.

So for example if an item on e.g. the TP is called ‘Carrion Winged boots’or Winged boots of the Soldier.
The base name is winged boots and the armor name is winged armor.

Besides previewing on the TP and asking players to ping their armor/weapons you can also go to external sites.
http://www.gw2armor.com/
http://dulfy.net/
http://www.gw2db.com/
http://www.guildhead.com/

These are the ones I use most often. when you know the name of the weapon or armor skin you desire you can check the wiki how to get it (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page or type /wiki in game)

In case of my example, the winged armor set is a crafted armor set for light armor.

Avoiding Green Attacks with Lupi Fight?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

Im thinking you’re refering to the attack where a bunch of little things shoot out and you see a lot of red circles appear?

No thats phase 2, he is refering to phase 3. This is what the wiki is saying bout this:

‘A small poison AoE field that he places in front of him — Lupicus will create a ’bubble’ that traps its targets, knocks them down repeatedly and heavily damages them. It is very difficult to escape from without stability or blink abilities. This can be avoided entirely if the party remains at maximum range.’

I disagree bout keeping the max range as a viable option due to the other attacks and how he moves a lot in this phase. I have seen that stability combined with dodging help you escape the bubble. If you got caught in it and dont have that possibillity
then do not move! Trying to escape the bubble while it is up only makes it worse. Heal and remove contions til lthe bubble is gone and then run like hell, stay a bit to the back till your healing is back up.

How are you supposed to get the precursors?

in Suggestions

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

You asume that farming materials are the only way of making money. Being someone who is in the proces of making a legendary and who doesnt want to spent real life money on it I realise a few things.

First of all it takes dedication to do it
Second it will take time.

I know that farming for mats is a good way to get money,but I prefer doing dungeons. We have a good stable dungeon team in my guild wich can handle anything. We make a good amount of money that way every day plus I get dungeon tokens wich I sue to get exotic weapons to put in the mystic toilet. For me it can go two ways
- I’m lucky and the toilet gives me the precursor
- I’m not lucky and have to buy it.

Either way I see it as possible and doable if you are dedicated to your goal

Orr Temples, Ludicrous or Intentional?

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

The event’s are not really too hard, unless you have a decent amount of people to do it who actually knows what they are doing. The rewards for flipping a temple are also high so it is intended to be challenging.

Thats incorrect IMHO, the game is set up so you should have enough karma when you reach 80 to buy a temple set as your first exotic if you want.

And there’s a difference between challenging and close to impossible

As stated later and in my post. the exceptions are Grenth and Balthazar. They take a little bit more smart thinking.

I dont know what the amount of karma has to do with this and I do believe you are incorrect. If you level a character to 80 and do one month of daily’s and monthly you have enough karma for a templeset (if you open the jugs with the boosters on).

The daily’s and monthly’s where added later and definitly not a part of the design of these events.

Bottom line is that I did all temple events several times and with success on the first attempt. Balthazar and Grenth are indeed easier to fail, but still very doable if you know what your doing.

This is not a bug but a problem on your computer. You might want to post in the technical support section.

My advise would be to do in order of getting more difficult
a: Reboot your computer if you dont do this often.
b: run GW2 with the command line argument -repair (see here for howto: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments )

If you play it in the sequence I said:

Character through first part of prophecy’s: 5 hours max! (so 1 day)
Character through factions the first time: 5 days (including two days of factions farming, I highly recommend reading the wiki for mission guidance and choosing luxon. It’s a lot easier to solo.
Nightfall: 7 days
Prophecy’s: 9 days
Eye of the North: 5 days
GW Beyond content (like e.g. war in Kryta): 10 days (winds of change is rather challenging, as well as parts of war in kryta.

So all in all it should be doable in a little over 1 month.

Hi Nuvo,

As mentioned you friend will need to file a support ticket to get this resolved.

If you handle big amounts of gold your account is automaticly marked as suspicious. A GM reviews this and if not clear what the origin of the gold is or what the reason for sending is, they suspend the account.

The best way to solve this is to ‘act’ a bit. Even when you are in the same room or on VoIP communication, make sure you let the system know in the email what you are doing. Also make sure it is a person on the friendslist and preferably the same guild.

Hi ExpsGaming,

First of all Im not support. So I’m reacting from an outsite point of view. The provided screenshot proves not much in my opinion. First off all, the recent purchases don’t show any dates. So it could very well be that you bought the other pick before the mystic forge stones.

Besides that you are not showing the second email that came with the second pick. So I don’t see any proof. (not saying your a liar either btw).

I do hope an arenanet official can clear this up for you.

Comparing the support model of a subscription free game where you have ton’s of content plus additional content released on a regular basis, with a game that charges you 10 bucks every months is simply wrong. Yes Arenanet will be the first to admit that Blizzards has a better support model. But they also have the time and people to do so.

What you are asking for is only possible with a monthly fee. And honestly and with all respect to you, I dont want to pay a monthly fee cause of someone elses stupidity

When Minimum Requirements Are Not...

The minimum requirements are not a garantee that the game will run smoothly. The problem is indeed the 32 bits windows version in combination with the VGA driver. You prolly have an nvidia gforce GT card.

As far as I know the problem doesnt exist with an geforce GTX card or another brand of chipset. The GT line is the budget line of chipsets compared with the GTX-line

I’m very sorry for your loss. You could file a support ticket at http://support.guildwars2.com/ (ask a question) to make this request.

However, following this forum for a long time the answer will likely be negative. It is not Arenanet’s policy to refund things bought with ingame currency, specially when it is your own mistake and not theirs. They are even claiming that they dont have the mod tools to do so. Wether this is true claim or not remains point of discussion, bottom line will be that they won’t do this.

Larry is up at [Vale Waypoint]

:D Unfortunately I have seen a few people try to troll by saying for example “Troll Up” when it really isn’t in an attempt to get people to waste their time and a few coins to get there. Maybe they are trying to say they are the troll that is up

I also noted that people are claiming this while the troll is actually up, He can be kited as far as I know to the other site of the map, and often the whole event has been kited out of his cave, onto the filed, all the way to the farm. So make sure you look around when he isnt in his cave.

Ow and don’t kite the troll out of the cave. He is slow enough to make corners and the cave is big enough to kite in there while you wait for the zerg of players to help you

Daily achievement and free trial ac. error

When you started playing the game you agreed with the user agreement. Part of it is saying that an outage of service like last yesterday doesn’t mean Arenanet has any repsonsibility to compensate you.

Besides that it will be very hard to track what any individual was trying to do at the moment and compensate that.

And to be honest I have read bout much worser losses during the fall out (last boss in Arah path 4 at 25% health).

So don’t expect a compensation, and if they do it will be the same one for everyone online or not. It’s virtual impossible to compensate on an individual level.

I login to account settings and didn’t find any suspicios connections to it.

Unrespectfull is to ban account without any reason and then not able to fix their own mistake for a whole day.
For example for years of using Blizzard products I never saw such problems without a reason. ArenaNet is not a newcommer, so I thought they can do it in the same way.
Also I’m working in IT industry and if we saw something like this, it is the “alarm” for everyone that something is going wrong and must be changed.

Please re-read my first post and my last. I understand your upset. But lets not speculate on what might be the reason and give support a fair change to explain it to you. Also understand that after a fall out like last night, they prolly have ten thousands of tickets, and they had to read them all to see if they could auto-reply or needed to pay attention to it. So basicly the time since then is lost time.

Also understand you need them at this moment, So please be udnerstanding and consinderative. You have a better change then just jumping to conclusions.

Last thing is, that as many people, I’m hooked to this game as well. But gaming-addiction is a serious condition. The lack of patience you are showing got me worried if you have enough control over it. A day or two without GW2 isnt the end of the world. If it feels liek that for you I have to advise you to get professional help.

The event’s are not really too hard, unless you have a decent amount of people to do it who actually knows what they are doing. The rewards for flipping a temple are also high so it is intended to be challenging. However Grenth and Balthazar are in my opinion the hardest temples to do. So to make them all even they could use some balancing.

The guesting option is facilitated cause it is a valid option to use and it was being requested a lot. Therefor the mods made merged threads wich are now used for this purpose.

The most important reason is that some items there cantbe find elsewhere in the game and if your world is a high ranking WvWvW server people dont care for it to do it.

Last of all, the fact that so many guest on different servers means the events can actually be done and are done on active PvE servers on a regular base.

Guild Wars 1

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

a: I don’t recomend to follow the original order of the game. The leveling arch in the first game is rather steep compared with the other campaigns, and even though they are placed behind eachother in time, they are stand alone campaigns and story’s.

B: As Kisanth said having access to the right skills is important.
This is what I would do (without spoiling) to get the maximum understanding of the lore without making it too complicated for yourself.

1: Make a character in prophecy’s. Press m and you see a small section of the world map. After a very interesting cinematic, when you press m you see the full world map (wich is very simular to that of gw2).

2: Start a new character in factions and start playing the game. When you come to an outpost called the marketplace run your character to kaineng center. just outside you find your first hero. In the town you can get henchman and your first hero to get a quest to get to EoTN and get 3 more heroes. Leave this story alone for now and return to factions.

3: Play through factions the regular way. After a mission you can change your secondary profession giving you the abillity to get proper skills for your heroes and capture elite skills for you and them.

4: After finishing factions you can go to Nightfall (with the same character). Here you will unlock more heroes and you should have more then enough resources to give them proper builds (set of skills and attributes).

5: Now go to prophecy’s. On arrival I advise to go back to the starting town (the one you left your first character) It takes bout 60 minutes to run/fight your way there. You can also hire a professional runner who can take you there in less then 30 minutes. Use the wiki to play through the first missions in the original sequence. After Lion’s arch the story-quest will take it overand you can follow that again.

6: After prophecy’s it is time to finish Eye of the north so fo that.

7: Now there are some smaller parts wich you can play in the following sequence: War in Kryta, Hearts of the North and Winds of change.

8: Last of all you could play through the elite area’s. Sorrow’s Furnace might interest you, and is actually easy.

as being said, gw2 is actually a very good low level friendly game. This has to do with the fact that low leveling area’s are still challenging for high level characters and the good stuff doesnt only happen at max level.

Having said that, they recently openend new content and like you might suspect msot people are checking it out. This area (southsun cove) might prove challenging, but you will be buffed up to level 80. My advise is to go to lion’s arch, and ask in mapchat for a guild that wants to help you. you prolly get several reply’s explain to each of them what you are missing and looking for and your judgement prolly find the perfect guild for you

Yes, but southsun at the time had 4 different overflows (or more), with everyone spread out between them. Making all three groups apear in the same overflow, with people required to leave party, form new party, explaining why it is important etc took us 6 important minutes.

For the guildrush and the guildchallenge it isnt a big deal cause the timer can be started after you did this extra organising, but for the guildbounty I think it should be prevented from happening.

Issues with Arah story mode as final quest

in Personal Story

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

Thisd isn’t an issue that NEEDS fixing and I’m very happy with Anet making temporary content. This has been discussed over and over and over. Bottom line is that this is an MMO. In other words it is ment to be played together. So you might want to join a guild. use some social skills to get them to know you and you to know them and then ask for their help.

We are all just people like you and don’t bite, so show us your happy face and make some friends

It is an issue that needs fixing. If you didn’t have such a knee jerk reaction you’d have realized that the op was complaining because he can’t find a group to get his/her final quest done. That’s far more prevalent than you might think. I for one have 3 level 80’s in the same boat for the same reason.

Would you please refrain from your tone bout my reaction, that is offensive and would be very happy if you decide to change it. My remark is cause I truly believe that people should be forced more to do things together instead of less. I think rebalancing all storymode dungeons and making it a required part of the personal story would make the game much more interesting.

In GW1 Arenanet really got me angry with the introduction of the hero-system. It truly took out the MMO-concept. The fact that you can play this MMO for 80% solo doesnt mean it should be 100%. The balance is allready of in my opinion. It Is called GUILD wars for a reason. If you have trouble finding a group for it join a guild or start making friends. Personally I never had problems finding a PUG for it.

You can disagree with me bout this, but that doesnt mean I’m a jerk nor that I will tolerate you calling me that. It tells a lot bout you and your social skills that you did.

Is Evonhawke's organ going to be fixed?

I’d just payed a visit to the organ and it’s still broken. When you hit a note, it plays for almost 2 seconds, and you cannot change the note being played until the previous one finishes its sound.

Should I put this in the bug subforum?

No, it is clearly an intended change. The way it worked in the beta isnt reflecting the game as it was at release. So whatever their reasons are, it isnt a bug but intended this way.

Laurel Amulet problem

mercury ranique.2170

It’s not a bug.
The amulet has a defensive infusion slot so only defensive infusions can go in it. the magic find infusion is a Utility infusion, so you need an amulet with a Utility infusion slot. You needed the ‘Distinguished Circle of Logic’: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Distinguished_Circle_of_Logic

It has the same stats but the other slot.

Hopefully other mmo’s don’t make the same mistake.
Well the adventure of having fun and playing guildwars 2 ended pretty fast.

World of Warcraft: 25 USD to move a single character from one realm to another.
Lord of the Rings Online: 25 USD to move a single character from one world to another.

Just to name two.

I’m not sure wich MMO’s you have been playing, but 25 USD (max) to move all your characters is pretty cheap compared to those other MMO’s. Besides that you even get the possibility to do it for free if the price is too steep for you, however that comes with a penalty.

Guild Bounty and overflow

in Suggestions

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

I have a suggestion to make a small change to the bountytarget selection system.
If on start of a bounty or a bounty training the map where a possible target is is in overflow. Then make them temporary unavailable as a possible target. This in order to have the teams on the guild to be all on the same map.

We where unlucky to draw Ander Wildman as a Guild Bounty training target yesterday and it was impossible to coordinate everyone to the same overflowmap of southsun cove and find the target in even 15 minutes (and we are capable of doing the regular tier 1 bounty most of the time, if we fail that we switch to training cause we can use the influence more as a guild at the moment.

It’s the main reason why I don’t link to the ‘argos’ page at all. They have some very usefull and legimate functions both for gw2 and for gw1. The GW2ArmorGallery is a very perfect and legimate tool wich is better then the alternatives. But the software that alters things ingame they offer are all on the edge and actually not ok.

Commander icons on mini-map in PvE?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

Commandertags are usefull for guildmissions and other guild (or group) activity’s. There is a lot of hate against them and that has mainly to do that it is used by some commanders as the ‘I Am Rich app’ : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Rich

Altough I would very like to be able to block out the last category, I wouldnt want to go without the disadvantages. Maybe a block function per commander??

Damage of summoned weapons by profession

in Players Helping Players

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Conjure
It’s complicated: ‘Like all environmental weapons, conjured weapons have their own weapon strength and do not provide attribute bonuses. Unlike most environmental weapons, conjured weapons scale closely with weapons available to a player at a given level. At level 80, conjured weapons have a weapon strength of 969. This lies between the weapon strength of one handed weapons and two handed weapons. In addition, players will still benefit from attribute bonuses of their weapon set. This is on top of the conjure effect provided by the weapon itself. As conjure weapons also have conjure effects that provide addition attribute bonuses, this can make conjure weapons a powerful alternative to a normal weapon set.’

So basicly the asnwer to you question, is almost and there are many grey area’s. The conjure comes with a conjure boost on and a strength between 1h and 2h weapons. besides that, some attributes from the original underlaying weapons are also used as well as some stats from the armor. But e.g. the guardian trait Two-Handed Mastery doesnt work for the conjured weapon skills, even if it is e.g. the fiery greatsword.

In a more practical sense, it doesnt really matter a lot who picks it up, but it does matter a lilttle bit.

New Home Server - Deleting Characters

a ‘full’ server does changes often. it is the amount of online people who makes it full. best is to try at low times like in the middle of the night.

Also put everything you have that isnt soulbound in the bank (including all money) and spent all your karma on things your new characters can use.

Could you please elaborate more on this bug. I know I’m not camping near that pipe-organ, but in the past few months I’ve been playing it several times. I remember from the early months that it wasnt working, but no problem lately tbh.

Best way to deal with this is to file a support ticket:

If the money is taken off your paypall account support will either refund the money or cough up the gems. If the money isnt taken they can help you fix this.

“They will come to your house and eat your refrigerator!”

Thank god, my bacon is safe in my refrigerator.

To the OP,
Support and Arenanet doesnt interfere in what you could call gaming skills. If you accidently goofed things up they wont be able to replace your loss. If however you are sharing accounts then you are in violation of the user agreement.

To Gaile,
Kadiköy is a district of Istanbul: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kad%C4%B1k%C3%B6y

First off all you can ask support to have an account reroll. I’m not sure if they can do it in your case but you might wanna ask.

Second I would advise to delete the level 80 and start over. The way to learn the game is by playing it yourself. So dont take advantage of it.

Serious fall damage bug

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

I also have this bug sometimes. It doesnt trigger only when swapping or using a skill, but also out of the blue.

I suspect that it has to do with the measures taken to avoid the teleportation exploit, but that lag is the main cause of the problem.

If the server looses track of you, specially when the client is reporting positions that are too far away from eachother the server forces the client to teleport back to the last known confirmed location. This is a great way to stop the teleportationexploit, but it seems also to be triggered by lag wich makes the biggest problem when falling.

This could be fixed by making the detection of the unauthorized changes of location less depended of distance on the z-axis (height). e.g. every z-axe distances is allowed unless it is further then the amount that would lead to defeat.
