Guild Wars 2

Qoute: If gem cards aren’t in stock at your favorite retailer yet, be sure to ask if and when they’ll be arriving.

I reckon all the regular ncsoft resellers will sell those and a lot of others (cause GW and GW2 is an out of the box gem for ncsoft), but like anet is saying if your retailer isn’t selling them, ask them bout it, the more people asking them they will see that it is a good trade and they start reselling them….

Ok, just doing a starting zone wont level you up, almost everything in this game will give you XP (wich is a very good thing imo) but it means that traditional playing isn’t working. out of the 20 things to do when getting xp you need to do atleast 5 of them.

What I do is when I start a new character.
1: start it
2: decide on my first weapon and unlock all skills for it by killing the lowest foes
3: go into town and get all waypoints, poi’s and vista and do the same for all other towns.

By that time I’ll be lvl 12-ish and I start my race statrting area, making sure I get every weapon for my profession and unlock the skills asap.
After 100% completion of my racial area and personal story’s I am soo much ahead I can go almost everywhere cause of the headstart when doing all the towns.

Do not think in the box but outside. almost everything you do gives XP…

GLBT = (I guess when googling) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT
(and pls dont be offended when I’m wrong, on contraire, I would say, my aunt is with her gf since the end of the 60’s and I love both of them and admire them for their struggle)

The current state is that the devs called it a bug. That means you shouldn’t change it if your going for the legendary. If they know how to fix it we would prolly have the fix here already so even the devs don’t know the solution at this point (though prolly they have a general sense of how to fix it). Bottom line, do not change your precursor in any way till this is fixed or till you can make the legendary.

Ye, Search isn’t working at all, thats why I wasn’t saying to look ages ago in the list of topics..

It’s bind on equip like all armor except the cultural and order ones, and the duelist armor on the wiki looks totally different so thats why im saying its the wrong set (not going to repeat the link to the wiki cause it was in my first post. So please explain how you got yours.

Yip, (and maybe the the gw2 folder in my documents if you want to save your screenshots))

Nkuvu,

Your naming is a bit wrong and confusing in your screenshots. The first you are calling beserker dualist armor doesn’t exist in PvE under that name. according to the wiki Duelist armor in PvE looks like: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:MaleDuelistArmor.jpg

The first one I happen to use on my engineer is reffered to as named medium armor and exist under names named after famous gw1 npc’s:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armor_set#Named_armor_sets
I actually am using a combo off Shiro’s and Zho’s armor but all medium named armor sets look the same.

Streyiken.7239:

Swiftness is 33% while chilled is -50% movement speed. 100(neutral)33-50=83

So you would be at 23% less than normal movement speed.

Immobilize overrides any other movement affecting conditions/boons.

I Disagree with Streyken. one is applied after the others. either way the outcome is the same.

Cause there is no real life distance in the game, I call the basic movement speed 100 p/s (pixels per second, prolly wrong as well, but it doesn’t matter for the outcome, its just a measuring unit). You can’t just + and – percentages.

So 50% (cause chilled) of 100 is 50 p/s. 133% (cause swiftness) of 50 is 66.5 p/s
Even if swiftness would be calculated before chilled the outcome would be 66.5. p/s

So if both are active you are moving 33.5% slower

First off all I would like to ask to search the last 2-3 pages before posting a question. The same question was also asked just 3 hours before you asked it. My answer there is still the same:

All questions bout this set of armor I have seen on both this forum and elsewhere have been unanswered. Some people claim that it is called tribal armor, but none is saying where and how to get it. The closest to pinpointing a location is karmavendor’s in firehart rise. But the comment was ’ I think I might have seen it at a karma vendor in Fireheart Rise’
Another comment however was that the preview wasn’t right and that it is actually the crafted masquerade set but with the wrong preview. The set shown in the preview is not available in game at this moment, according to that opinion.
So given all the information available I think this question is unanswerable. You might want to take time to go around Fireheart Rise to check on the karma vendor remark.

I reinstalled windows yesterday to 64 bits (was running 32 bits, but the game has a crashing issue with my vga-driver and I didn’t want to wait anymore for an official solution).

I went to program files/guildwars2 (in 64 bits its in the 32bits program files folder) and copyed the file gw2.dat to my external HD.

After reinstalling windows I started setup and as soon as the update bar was counting up I quit the game, put the gw2.dat from my external hd in the guildwars program folder (replacing the much smaller one setup created) and after that booted the game. No update required. So it went very quickly and easy.

So C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\gw2.dat is the file you need to backup (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\gw2.dat if using a windows 64 bits system)

I normally don’t really care bout my characters look untill level 35. I normally start with the HoM armorskin and round level 35 I start looking for a different skin within my reach.

@Joey,

I dunno when you played GW1, but in the original game you could use them since the release of Eye of the north for e.g. consets. Later on the envoy weapons where added that required 15 skill points each.

From http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Source_of_the_Issue

’
After defeating the first group of nightmare courtiers near the river, the green mark on your map will change location, but if you just turn back and head there nothing will happen and the quest will not progress. Instead of walking, you have to swim into the river towards the marker (you will not be able to reach the marker, whilst swimming). Eventually, the marker will change to its proper location and you will be able to continue the quest.
’

This maybe??

Drevin.6534:

Did you check exactly all 6 cities, all the PvE maps and all 4 WvW maps? Somewhere there has to be less than 100% completion, otherwise you are really really bugged. I know you said you did check, but do a list of all of zones, and recheck them all. Cross out every zone checked, until you’re done, or you find the culprit.

This…….

I think there is a 99% change you have missed something. Keep in mind that Claw island has to be done (so if you didn’t do your personal story that might be the case). Ohterwise use this list and make sure you visit every area (thinking your sure you finished it isn’t enough) and press m to check if it is saying 100%, also check the list of PoI, WP, Vista’s, SC’s and hearts manually if all are completed.

Drevin.6534:

All 3 routes work both ways. I checked this yesterday evening.

It doesn’t work both ways for me, or atleast not always. I have after I did the level 70 personal story quest, always been able to go from Fort Trinity to whatever portal, but not always the other way around. I only finished it a few days ago, so not sure what the reasons are, but for example yesterday I was helping some of my guilds on their secondary toon in lornar pass and in exchange they where getting on their main to help me with my lvl 75 story. The guard at the durmand priory wouldn’t let me pass. I had the same issue in chantry of whispers. But I also had times it did work. I am planning to test this further, but I think it has to dowith when I’m in the party with people in the same area who aren’t allowed in yet.

@bri: The thing the OP wants to do is to send things between characters on the same account (he gives that away when saying that mailing is denied). The answer is, as given by others up ahead, the bank.

@ Sarisa, the moment it unlocks is not as you describe.
you get commander at level 52 (forging the pact), but the portals keep closed then, only after lvl 60 (Battle for frot Trinity) Fort trinity is open for visitors and you can use the portal

To the OP, In the north-east corner of the Gendarran fields is an asura portal. It leads to the Straits of Devestation, but you are not allowed access till a certain point in the personal story. By that time you will also have ‘walked’ to there, so it is not a way to unlock the access early.

Oranisagu.3706:

Thanks to the answers below I’ve put together the following list of assumptions based on previous ANet behaviour for GW1:

• the holiday events (& changes to landscape etc) will last for about a week
• there will be ‘weekday’ events for the whole duration
• the main event on the holiday itself reoccurs regularly in a prominent location (like LA)
• infos about the event will soon start to trickle in (usually a week or so before the start of the event-week)

thanks again for the answers

I think you are jumping to conclusions. What happened in GW1 is only speculated to happen as well in GW2.

All we know for sure is that on the 22th a contend update themed round Halloween will start. They might do the finale day, but they might do it different. They promised an everchanging game and that elements of that will be included in the Halloween update. So conlcuding something like that it will last for a week or that there will be a final week is not correct imo. best is to leave it open cause we just don’t know what really is going to happen.

the 22th the update comes out and then we will get more information. Untill then all we really know is: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/events/halloween-2012

What is striking is the evolving world chapter at the bottom, meaning that in the same update some permanent changes are implemented like the tournament option in PvP. So some parts of the 22th update will be temporary (prolly till november the 3th or so) but others will stay according to this.

All questions bout this set of armor I have seen on both this forum and elsewhere have been unanswered. Some people claim that it is called tribal armor, but none is saying where and how to get it. The closest to pinpointing a location is karmavendor’s in firehart rise. But the comment was ’ I think I might have seen it at a karma vendor in Fireheart Rise’

Magic find increases the change of getting rare loot. So when it comes to harvesting gathering nodes it means you have a higher change to get things like a hidden stack in a tree or a gemstone in a mine. The amount of wood, vegetable or metal you get is unchanged.

bri.2359:

akamon.2769:

… you’ll actually need skillpoints to purcahse stuff from Miyani (NPC) near the Mystic Forge in Lion’s Arch. so maybe that’s something you want to keep in mind as well.

Argh! I didn’t know this!!

I just finished ‘buying’ all my skills, (many I didn’t want or need …) cos I didn’t know what else to do with the points ….

don’t worry, Bri. i did the same, and only had one or two skills left “unbought”. given one is a thirty. throughout farming / going for map completion / crafting, you’ll make back all your points in no-time! that being said, i see where you’re coming from :///

This is what bugges me a lil bit bout legendary weapons. A legendary weapon should be imo the proof of the dedication you have as a player and also tells a lil bit bout the gaming skills one has. But by using skillpoints as currency for this you end up with people running around with mediocre skillbars cause they want a legendary. I am going for the legendary weapon, but I first made sure I have all skills unlocked.

The area is a known bug-area and so is the skillpoint. It has a tendecy to get stuck. Due to a maintance update (somewhere around the time you posted this) it is prolly unstuck now.

I do think you didn’t understood the upgrade system.
The rarity (rare, exotic, regular, etc.) of armor has nothing to do with the amoutn of upgrades slots. Each armor piece can only be ugrades with 1 upgrade (no matter what the rarity is). Sometimes the upgrade is already there and sometimes it is not (if it is there you can always replace it).

I think you are confused with the upgrades on the armor and the number behind it (e.g. 2/6 or 1/4 ) If you use the same rune on your different armor pieces, then the runes attached to it stack in a certain way. Take for example a superior rune of the baelfire: The description reads:

(1): +25 Power
(2): +15% Burning duration
(3): +50 Power
(4): 5% Chance to gain vigor for 10s when hit. (Cooldown: 30s)
(5): +90 Power
(6): 5% Chance to cause a fire nova when hit. (Cooldown: 30s)

So if you put this specifick rune on your chest-piece you get +25 power. If you put the same rune also on your skirt you get +15% burning duration. If you put it on all your 6 armor pieces you get all 6 effects.

Each armor piece can come with a existing rune. There are 3 kinds of each rune:
‘Minor rune of…’ can stack up to two times (so if you put 3 of them on 3 different armorpieces, the third won’t have any effect)

‘Major rune of..’ can stack up to four times (so if you put 4 of them on 4 different armorpieces, the fifth won’t have any effect).

’ Superior rune of..’ can stack up 6 times.
The kind of rune that is already attached on your armor doesn’t depend on rarity but on level. Armor for lvl 0-39 will only have a minor rune.

The major runes will start dropping and also be attached from level 40 and upwards (you can’t use a major rune if your not level 40 or higher)

The superior runes start from level 60 and upwards.

But it is very much possible to get a level 65 rare armor with a minor rune attached to it. Just get a supperior and replace it if you want to.

below level 40 you can have a rune on all 6 off your armorpieces, just make sure, you don’t get more then two of the same kind. (so 3 minor runes of Baelfire won’t work), but 2 of them and a rune of the centaur will give you 10 power (first Baelfire) + 10 power (first centaur) + 5% burning duration (second Baelfire).

Any questions?? just ask.

Nope you don’t have to kill enemy’s over and over again to be able to level. Thats a different game. In this game almost evrything counts as experience.
- playing and specially winning in sPvP
- playing and specially winning in WvW
- Crafting
- Gathering materials for crafting
- killing enemy’s
- doing dynamic events
- doing the renown hearts
- finding undiscovered waypoints
- finding undiscovered points of interest
- playing video’s when you discover a new Vista
- finishing jumping puzzles.
- doing your personal story
- doing dungeons
- reaching achievements like 100% completion of a certain map or getting your daily achievements to the max

(might have forgotten a thing or two)

So best way to level is do all of the above, kill enemy’s while filling in the heart, do all dynamic events you encounter, get all waypoints, vista’s and points of interest, if you see a gathering node use your gathering tools to gather materials (also good to do crafting that also gives experience or to sell for some money).

In other words, just play the game. As being said, being high level does give you some advantages like access to better stats on armor and weapons. But when returning to a low level area you will be downscaled making this advantage much smaller then in most MMO’s.. For example, in Queensdale (human starter area) a level 80 get all his stats (health, power, armor level, etc) reduced with 90%. The only advantage he has is that he had found a better combination of armor and weapon and upgrades and has all his skills unlocked

@Esya,
What I am basicly saying to the OP is that he should find out why people aren’t representing. You are right having too many no representing members looks uninviting to new members but if you know why you can decide your actions.

The most important thing a leader should do is communicate with members. the kick button is imo only for those who did something wrong. a non-represening member is still a members, so tread him with the respect each member deserves. You might be the guildleader, but a good guildleader is in service off his/her members, and not the other way around. Knowing what they wont and communicating with them is a good start to do that, not kicking them out.

The problem is that we cannot say what is a ‘cool’ looking shield. It is you who needs to decide on that. If your looking for a not round shield you have a lot of options.
My advise is to visit the different karma vendors for cultural weapons and other weapon vendors and use the preview option on all shields you see.

Just a few shile dI happened to find in a few minutes that are cool imo and not round:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Adamant_Guard_Shield.jpg
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Blood_Legion_Shield.jpg
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ebon_Vanguard_Shield
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Junction_Haven_Shield_skin.png

I think you can find the rest on your own, just go through the list at:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Category:Shields

First thing I would like to say is to consider the reason why you are playing. Story completion, exotic armor, legendary weapons are just rewards at the end and it is (atleast not for me) the reason for playing. The reason for is to have fun.

You have indeed many options. Like cani said, if you are not enjoying yourself anymore you should move along for a while. This game doesn’t have monthly fees so you can quit and start again whenever you want.

The second thing to keep in mind is the 10/22th update next monday. Arenanet promised us an everchanging game while adding new challenges every time. this monday we will have a first glimpse if they are keeping up on that promise.

Like bing said, make sure you really play new characters if you are considering to play through again.

I know that a lot of guilds can use active officers who can help their members (It is something I really enjoy doing).

WvW is indeed also very fun. I never fancied PvP, but WvW doesn’t give a PvP feeling at all. First off all cause your foes doesn’t have player names they are just very smart mobs. Secondly cause there are a good amount of PvE realted things like DE’s and jumping puzzles.

Last off all you might want to consider world completion. It is what I am doing mostly and it is very fun.

A not representing member don not get influence for your guild.
Should you or should you not allow them in??
First question you should ask yourself is if it is a problem. You have initially room for 50 members and for 20 silver this can be expanded to 200 members (also furthermore, but that cost gold coins and is for really big guilds). So based on the cost of a 200 members guild, each member cost you 10 copper (representing or not).

Also keep in mind people can choose to represent/character. So it might be they are currently not playing very activly on the character they had planned to represent you.

Also I would advise to talk to not representing members and find out why. Just sent them an email where you explain that your the leader of -insert name- and you noticed they are currently not representing. Tell them that it is not a must but you would like to inform for the reasons. Also explain how to represent in the future.

Last off all, who do you think would be more likely be a future active member that represents? One that is currently in the guild just not representing (yet)? or one who is kicked by you?

The Ascalonian heavy armor (dungeon token reward) has a skin that looks simular on humans and norns (on asuran and char, the chin is closed):
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:ACheavy.jpg

The closest imo you can get is the nobleman heavy armor (dungeon reward for Caudicus’s manor: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Seraph_Outfitter_Eva.jpg
(it is the exotic one. It cost 180 seals of beetletun. This translates in doing all paths of the dungeon in explorer mode once.

hmmmmm……..
To be honest there is a lot not known bout legendary weapons. afaik nobody has ever tried what you are trying so it is all guessing here.

First off all, the legendary weapon will be for lvl 80+, so with a fine transformiggor stone you might be able to get the skinn to a lower weapon (and that is also guessing), but in my opinion that is ruining some very good stats for just looks. In the end if it is possible, that is up to you however.

Secondly there is no reason to assume it would not be possible, a lvl 80 requirement is for handling the item, not for having it or creating it (a lvl 400 crafter can also make lvl80 items).

Last off all I have the impressions is that (except the clovers) everything needed for the legendary weapon is portected, so if you can get the items in the forge and press the reforge button the outcome is 100% sure.

Again. This is guesswork with argumentation. If you want to be 100% sure you should not risk it and wait for someone else to take the plunge and report it. But I am afraid that it might take some time. If you do take the plunge please let us know what the outcome is.

Ye, if you used a dye on your character, it will say in the description you already know it, and when double clicking it in your inventory it will give an error message. As frell pointed out you don’t know if another character of yours might need it…

If I understand it right you want to know if it is possible to get your account from Dragonbrand-server to Tarnished coast-server.

The answer would be yes.
On the character selection screen you have a world selection button. In there you can select the world you want to go to (if Tarnished coast is full atm, you might need to wait a few days).
After an are you sure warning you are kicked out of the game, and after max 5 minutes you are bale to login again but on Tarnished coast.

Your full account will be transfered, so that includes all characters, bagcontents, progress in game and titles, content in the bank, etc.

If you are in a guild, your guild progress will stay behind (meaning guildupgrades, gathered influence and items in the guildbank).

You can always return after 24 hours so if you didn’t like the change there is no harm done. This is intended as a payd service, but for now it is still free (and there is no indication that it is changing soon).

When transmutating any item that is soulbound, the result will also be soulbound.
If it would not be that case, it would be actually an exploit and using it could get you banned. Soulbound is done so an item is untradable, breaking that means you are doing somethign the devs didn’t intended to have an advantage (in other words you are using an exploit).

I agree with hrhomer. When it comes to valuable trades make sure you check and doublecheck.

@Nirvana
There has been a arenanet statement on this forum that it is perfectly ok to take the copper coin in the gold scammer mail. (just search this section of the forum, it was a week or two ago).

furthermore, there is a way to get email out of the way without taking the attachement. that is the return to send option. Last off all, if someone reports you for scamming, Arenanet is logging everything for those situations. So everything you chat, mail, click and do in the game. so If I sent you e.g. the lover (+100 gold precursor weapon needed for a legendary weapon) through the mail without any reason in game and you take it, you are clean, even if I report you.

A scam through mail is normally done as follows:
- Scammer is standing in e.g. LA saying ‘selling [The lover] 100 gold’ (wich is very cheap btw so that should be your first hint it is fishy)
- You whisper him that you want it, and he say sent me the money and you get the weapon
- you sent the money and the weapon is never returned.

If you report this to arenanet, they will check both your chat and mail logs and his and know very clearly that you have been scammed.

First off all the 6th bonus (the mistform) is currently bugged. so it doesn’t work at all. but if it would work…

….If you are hit till death it wont work, you need to have some life left (otherwise this would be used to bypass falling damage to get to unreachable places). But msot attacksa don’t deal 25% health in one hit, for example, 100 blades kills you in a very short time, but it is done in 8 hits shortly after eachother. so each it can trigger the mistform.

Hmm, this ios not the right place nor the medium to try and stop scammers. The thing to do is to report them. Try to do it in game, if not possible, contact support through this wesite (but directly).

Though I don’t have any experience in GW2, I have had in GW1. what happened was that I needed nick’s item (a weekly changing collectible that gives presents that week). I was in a hurry, so went to the place where you farm that weeks item and asked for someone to seel the things needed. I got a reply and being in a hurry I didn’t check the trade properly. The item I bought was worthless junk named almost the same. Cause the seller already left town I couldn’t report, but I sent in a report to support through the website with all the dteails I had (my accountname, my charactername, my location, server, timestamp, and a good description bout what happened. 4 days later I got a reply they investigated it and that the person repsonable was banned.

So bottom line, do not put (suspected) scammers on display. You can never proof us 100% here they are scammers. so report it to the people with the power to make a proper judgement cause they have access to the logs, and have the power to smash the banhammer on their head.

Hmmm, for 1000 USD it will be almost impossible to get a top laptop. You can however get a laptop that plays the game stable enough on high settings. But for getting close to a desktop look you need a laptop that is 300-400 USD above your budget. However I have recently played the game on an MSI GE60. besides that I had a lil bit concerns bout the cooling it played pretty nice.

Every race and profession combo has 4 questions. One is the same for everyone (where you can pick your personality, like dignity or ferocity). This is important cause it sets the mood for how npc’s react to you. However, your actions later in game can change this and it is a minor thing (I never paid attention to what way I am and I don’t see a big difference in the reactions).

There is also a question bout a certain part of gear. Again this is personal and adds one starting gear. the other gear slots can be filled pretty soon (with the exception of the engineer, if you didn’t pick backpack, you need to play a long time till you get another back-item)

The last two questions depend on your race and set the tone for your first parts of your personal story. (untill level 20)

For example my human engineer decided that I grew up as a noble and I always wanted to join the circus. The first part (till level 10 or so) of the personal story you spent with your noble friends, the second part (lvl 10-ish till 20) means you are tasked with infiltrating the circus. However, if you decided to be raised on the street you need to help your gang friends in the fight against another gang.

If instead of being in the circus, you decided that you greatest regret is that you never looked for your death sister, you are suddenly taksed to do that at level 10.

So this only changes thing for lvl 1-20, after that the storyline branches into the direction of picking an order and is the same for everyone of your race (though you are offered new choiches then).

I agree, In the USA it is very common to have a creditcard, but in many country’s it is not. However as an advise to implement this without too much effort I would suggest to sell gemcards through resellers around the world. That way the local reseller can sell it to us and we have payment options common in the country where you live. After pruchasing something like e.g. a 1000 gem-card you get a code that you enter in the game at a dedicated option in the cashshop and the gems will be added to your account.

I disagree that every dye should have a shinny effect like in the youtube video. It would be nice to have a range of shiny dyes (off course with the right price). But afaik this already exist (mostly the vibrant colours). maybe some specifick colours could be added though.

hmmmmm, nope!!
To explain, I dunno what you want but it seems to me that you are asking the community to help you to either win a quarrel or a bet with someone else. First off all, that isn’t a good thing to ask, solve your own problems with other people. Second off all. if your trying to prove to be better, more, manlier, machoer or wathever, you really need to do that at your own. Last off all, do not quarrel with level 80’s about the game unless you know what your talking bout… (for those who are a fan of babylon 5, I love the quote; ‘never start a fight, but always finish it’)

nope, soulbound means soulbound and not account bound.

I agree, but I can’t help you with that. Feel free to make a suggestion in the suggestion section.

I got the tier one light armor for silvari and my title track for silvari is on 3/4 (cause i got 6 pieces), so every piece you got makes that that bar goes up. The title track bar can never go backwards.

So in other words, each piece is counted for the titles when you acquire it and you don’t have to keep them.

Short description: make it possible to lock a skill from using it, e.g. by holding L (for lock) and rightclick on the skill.

Reason: on birth I was choking cause the Umbilical cord was wrapped yournd my neck three times. This oxygen shortage is the cause of having a light form of spasism, specially in tense situations like when doing something difficult in the game. This game requires me to fight on small ledge s high up in the air (and I love that), but due to my small handicap I mikitten the skill I wanted to press and hit skill 4 (im using an enigneer with a rifle, that skill is the overcharged shot) throwing me backwards and in those situations most likely over the egde. I know it is not smart to use that skill in those situations, but it is a very irritating that I cann’t prevent myself of making that mistake.

I also hear other people complain bout such skills on heights. So please let us protect ourselfs.

(I know this is simular to the suggestion of the ability of changing the order of skills, but cause it is slightly different in solution and imo the reason for asking is more pressing I made a differend topic bout it.)

There is no ‘best’ spot to farm karma.
There are however some chains that are rather popular.

First off all, all event’s in Orr, specially the temples.
Second the claw of jormag chain

I also noticed a good bunch of people repeating Kol’s chain in Hinterlands, but I was there yesterday at primetime on my server and Kol was standing all alone in his cave.

You inventory has a function to deposti materials in your bank (the lil cog on the top right corner then ’ deposit all materials’ )
All the other items have to be put into the bank at a bank npc. You can recognise them by a bag of coins above their head. You can also use any crafting station as a bank (done so you don’t have to keep running from your bank to you crafting station).

You need to have done the first part of the personal story (it is reasonable short, it depends on your race, but it is generally:
-talk to npc x
- go to y
- defeat bunch of enemy’s
- watch a cutscene
- defeat a kitten looking boss
- watch a video

After this you are in the open world. very near a portal into you home town (just turn around). In your home town you find crafting stations and a bank. If you don’t know where, just ask on mapchat (/m can someone show me where the bank is?) and people will answer something like [minister’s waypoint], you can click that and it will show you on the map where to go.

Everytime you ctrl+click on a target (either npc’s other player or foe) you will see the text and the mark. If you don’t see it you didn’t click the target but e.g. the air next to it. You need to click the target, and not his name or healthbar (unlike in GW1).

This ping won’t apear on the minimap, but the old things are still possible.
hold Shift + hold left mouse button to draw on the minimap
hold shift + click left mosue button to make an alert ping on the minimap
hold Alt + click left mouse to place a personal waypoint (actually just a personal marker wich won’t go away, this can be used to mark e.g. a ‘do not cross’ point for you partymembers or ot have a reference of a point of importance on the map (also usefull when your partymembers need to go to a point on the map you have unfogged, but they did not.
The personal waypoint can be removed by a left click on the point.

Overall I would say it is a litle bit harder, but all the functions are there and the permament map marker is even an improvement imo
