Thanks I will look over these, regardless its a poor business practice and questionable in nature as to blocking / banning an acokitten with no notice nor any indication as to how long a time set. So I have already filed my complaint with the BBB thanks though.

When I attempt to log in it says Account is blocked due to unaccepable behavior, please try again after block has expired.

Problem 1 is I have recieved no email or phone calls letting me know about this and furthermore as to when it will expire, My in game actions are just fine I in my eyes, I have talked in ways that would seem disrespectful to some maybe sure. I have also been talked to in many ways that would reflect the same stature.

So I am definetly going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as I have no way to contact Anet or Guild wars 2 support directy nor was I notified of this action until just now when I attempted to log in and furthermore if my actions reflect those that would be deemed poor or unaccepable there had better be a wave of blocked accounts as just in the past two weeks I have come in to contact with people who said some horrible things to me as well as I to them.

As of the last big patch, necromancer is in a terrible spot now. Plague and Lich are now even bigger jokes than they already were, and Flesh Golem can’t even do decent damage with its Charge anymore. While we got a few neat little changes (dagger cleave and Spectral Armor’s faster recharge as examples), they couldn’t be bothered to fix some of the issues we already have.

On top of that, this is still the only profession that has no reflects/blocks, or any form of nullifying projectiles, while the Ranger got theirs buffed. Guess what happens most of the time those two get in a fight?

Add that to the subpar status we have in dungeons, and it’s a waste of time bothering with one. You might as well roll an engineer or mesmer now, they can dish out conditions even better than necromancers can at this point and are far more versatile/support for groups.

You shouldn’t be running a condition build in a dungeon in the first place it is entirely sub optimal. Maybe you just need some handholding and a hug. A pat on the back perhaps and a it’ll all be alright there little guy. LOL I would hate to run with you though if you carry that attitude the door is that way —→

Its funny that so many state we have nothing to offer in PVE, cause I stack vuln like a beast I have superior aoe burst dps, I am highly survivable compared to most other classes. I have been in pugs where almost full wipes occurred and me and maybe one other were left to down said boss and did. I stack bleeds which also helps other classes who benefit from the dmg % increase on conditions applied to enemy. I can pop in to lick and aoe cleanse an area. Not sure what necro you guys are playing and what 1 button super win = #yoloswagintantkillgodmode you are looking for. Maybe its not the class so much thats the issue as the players playing them. Ever hear the saying it’s not the car, its the driver (same same). Also there are interrupts and stability fields boon stripping. Not sure wtf else ppl want. Learn to play a bit more is all I can say.

I feel the weakness is PvE is 90% attributed to various boss buffs negating a large portion of what necro is designed to do

WTF are you talking about. I am going to get some recording software and make a vid of me pathing all of AC maybe a few other dungeons showing how a necro is just fine as long as it is not played but an idiot running a condition spec. That is all.

It used to work where you could open your H panel and and click on a specific slot and then your inventory to the left would filter out to only available items that can be equipped in that slot this does not work anymore nor does previewing of skins prior to changing your wardrobe options.

OP is just un educated and would better serve another class form with these idiotic posts. I main a necro and do amazingy with it I survive more than anyone else except maybe a well played guard. In all game types. I run any and all forms of PVE from open world to world bosses and dungeons and fractals and have never had a complaint about my being there. In WvW lol all I can say is l2p cause necro is a beast same goes for pvp. So this just don’t feed the trolls if your not trolling then take your own advice and see yourself out the door. Necro community is just fine without you insulting the class on every level stating fallacies like its no viable in the game.

Is this it for GW2 and mac client?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: mikeew.8607

mikeew.8607

Look you people apparently have no clue you say rewrite the game to come out of wrapper as if they actually ever wrote anything for mac. This is an incorrect assumption they hired out to a separate company to borrow the wrapper to work around the windows based client. There was and has not been anything special done by Anet in the sense of a mac client nor in designing the mac cider wrapper. So please be sure to understand this before giving credit where it is truly not due.

https://www.transgaming.com/cider these are the people who made this game possible for us. Not Anet all I have seen in my 2 years playing this game is Anet’s team dodging us and giving these sorted answers with this short speak. We are planning on doing something that we cannot speak of but know that maybe at some point we will do something. These are the types of answers we get. Its all a load and I’m frankly tired of and let down by it all. So to answer OP yes this probably is it for the mac beta and the reason is because Anet does not own transgaming and therefor can never really pull it out of beta until they start actually deving for this OS and stop piggybacking off a cider calling it a client. It is like me taking Day-Z throwing it in to a Wine Wrapper slapping a Beta sticker on it and saying look I coded Day-Z for Mac. Lets get real folks and call it what it is.

Furthermore the game does see updates for the Windows based client which is exactly what we play on. If we think of the wrapper this game uses as a box that box runs on Mac OS X and the client runs on Windows well Transgaming has made it possible so that the game will “Function” on Macs this is not the same thing as a company who takes our money and actually i dunno invests it into something like a Native client utilizing OpenGl as opposed to DirectX. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_OpenGL_and_Direct3D.

Self explanatory here, and I’ll make this post brief. The only reason why I’m posting my quitting is in hopes that maybe nerfnet will notice a trend of quitters and change their ways. Anywho since I started GW2 I have mained necro, and only enjoyed necro; I played the hell out of it and even made a few more just because. The constant nerfs were getting annoying, but I had hoped that we would get a good update with no nerfs, and obviously that didn’t happen so I’m finally freeing up some space and uninstalling this bundle of joy !

Was nice playing with you guys, best of luck, keep on rockin.

Don’t let the door hit ya.

Hi, my name is Gavian and I am the head of production for ArenaNet and I am also a Mac user. I am enjoying the discussion of various development methedologies, and that is something I could talk about endlessly, but I wanted to drop in and let you know what we are doing on the Mac.

Our current focus, like what we are doing right now, is reproducing Mac specific bugs and issues we see reported on the forums and working towards fixes. I will say that it is heartening to see everyone here helping each other out and it helps us out as well.

As has been pointed out, we do have a Mac specific client, it just happens to be using Cider.

We will try and post more to keep you in the loop about issues we had addressed that are Mac specific.

As a side note, for development methedology we use a number of different approaches, depends what the team make up is and what we are trying to accomplish.

Thanks!

I am sorry but no you do not have a mac client you have a mac client that is in a a wrapper this is not the same as a native client which is what we are referencing to. I can take a box of corn flakes take a dump in it and still call it corn flakes that does not make it true unfortunately.

wow what a joke of a response, basically this "We cannot test this because we do not test this because it is mac, if it were windows we would have a more direct answer but as mac doesnt matter it is up to the mac community to test it out. thanks for your monies please give us more. " just a joke tell you one thing as soon as something better comes along that genuinely support mac I am gone will never support another anet product moving forward as this has become the normal thing for us. It is a constant testing of the community itself. I am sorry but that is not my job I get paid to troubleshoot when I am on the clock I do not pay anet so that I can “test” their game.

I actually made it my main very recently running DS 6/2/0/0/6 jerker with strength runes in pve and wvw EOTM and I absolutly regret not running this class sooner. Such a beast. Will not be qutting necro probably ever unless they are just nerfed into a point where they are just 100% non viable.

Umm selno your point is so moot. The testing/beta phase has been in existence for 2 years. To add the support we do have is so lack luster its not even funny. I think most Mac players have been more than patient as we have been pushed under the rug and ignored. People are just getting sick of the fact of feeling taken advantage of investing time money and effort in to a game in which most probably feel a bit abandoned in many ways.

Not sure I follow your logic in stating they are including what should have been in the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5 was a solid upgrade and the 5s was even greater the 6 is rumored and pretty well supported to have 2 variants a 4.7 inch and kitten inch with a sapphire display a better processor continuing to contain a 64bit processor. I am sure there will be more bells and whistles that are not yet known even by leaks. Let alone iOS 8 and Yosemite and all that will come with those like the family sharing and continuity/ handoff . I am using the beta of both and love it when I get a call on my phone that if I’m on my computer it automatically transfers to the computer and I can pick up my phone from the computer. /end rant Then going on to the feature pack get to test the new scepter pu build on my mesmer and axe on my necro as well as seeing the new changes to tp and see how well it all will /will not work on mac (lol) fingers crossed they don’t break their little pet project.

Help from the Mesmer experts please!

1. Get Zerker gear
2. Get Runes of the Traveler (Superior if can afford would be preferred)
3. GS/Sword pistol for wvw
4. GS/Sword focus for pve can keep pistol if want to
5. Builds
a. PVE http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQRAsd8cnsISRaWjGmqB1aGR1QQZ30kOQiIlsTJA-TBSBABUcAECc/BKV/xMlgXp8DPNMLcgAA4AGQGg8JA-e
b. WVW http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsaRnsISjaWmGmqB3aGp0YM9PxcDJDIhS+S5A-TBSBABUcKECc/BKV/xMlgXp8DPNMLckAA4BGQGg8JA-e
Now with the PVE build you can stick with great sword and that is fine just take out signet mastery and sub it for GS training and use same heal or the default heal for mesmer.

For WVW you can sub out pistol for torch for a bit more stealth and burning but I find the pistol to be much more effective with the phant dealing worlds more dps and magic bullet is amazing.
So there you go this is a very quick ex. of what I run situationally of course. It works however in both WVW PVE and EOTM for PVP I run a shatter variation with gs sword/pistol. but that is outside of what you were requesting hope this helps.

Also much of this is up to you can swap out certain utilities as you’d like for open world pve I run mostly maxed out mantras for the 16% dmg increase 100% of the time. In dungeons I switch that out run usually 2-3 mantra with Feedback or cleansing field depending on situation. For WvW I run that setup typically blink decoy and third can switch around from mantra that cleanses condi’s to condition cleansing field to portal or any others that may work its really up to your gameplay type.

So hope this helps at least a bit..

Issue with Screen Darkening

mikeew.8607

Ok, so tested the adjusting the gamma when the screen goes dark and it did it put it back to normal. This must be a bug within the wrapper then whereas closing a window reduces gamma but not so on the bar and where in by adjusting the gamma slider reverts it back to where it should be.

It doesn’t seem to be a gamma issue it seems to be something related to the wrapper changing the display brightness which is then only fixed by alt tabbing out and back in for me I have not tried adjusting gamma however but I will attempt that tomorrow and see.

Latest stable build of mavericks its a mid 2012 MBP with 8 gigs of ram and 750 HDD I7 2.9ghz. I think I honestly may have figured out the issue. I am going to continue testing my hypothesis and see but I think its because I had vertical sync enabled. I disabled and will see if it happens again.

Quick Edit: just joined EOTM and opened up black lion trade by pressing o and hitting esc to close did it again. I may try a screen recording to show proof.

I have had this happening for probably the existence of me playing this game on a Mac. Am just wondering if anyone has same issue and has found a resolve to it. Basically whats going on is I can open up black lion trade window by pressing either o or talking to npc upon closing both by hitting esc and/or pressing o or clicking the x to close the window the screen gets extremely dark and I have to CMD Tab out and back in to fix it. It is one of the biggest annoyances I have with this game as it has been an issue for so long.

“. Because of this, things have been a bit slow to get moving, but I am going to try to stop in here more frequently from here on out.”

I.E maybe once a month like the last people that were in these Mac forums that Anet really doesn’t have a show of concern for other than to pop in to make us all have a false sense of actual concern or that they plan on really doing much for us.

I don’t see the merit in bashing Anet for using twitch it is not Anets fault that it seems to not work for you. Not sure what your issue is twitch has worked fine for me for many months. Not to mention if your complaint is in relation to the videos that Anet is doing with announcing updates they also submit those on youtube after so there is that. Again I don’t really see the validity in posting something about how twitch is broken in a guild wars 2 forum even if it relates to the use of Guild Wars 2 as a streaming service.

I would say no, Not sure why you would expect much out of specs like those. Even in a standard pc rig with those specs 256 mb of graphics is terrible. Most any games take to run well at least a gig. You’d be hard pressed to run something like Facebook games with those system specs let alone a graphics intensive mmorpg.

No it does not exist and its funny that you continue to linger around these Forums for Mac Flamingfoxx yet you don’t even know what the client consists of (please just leave). We will not see this come in to fruition until a native client comes in to play. Which will probably most likely never happen judging from the complete and udder lack of support mac users have in general by ArenaNet.
