It’s not about getting help, i already used the official ways.

It’s about giving them their feedback they want.

If you mean the feedback request you received via e-mail after a ticket is resolved, you need to click the link in said e-mail so your feedback is tied to the correct ticket.

This thread over a year old – WvW was needed then – now it’s not.

I think there should be more things to spend our Gifts of Exploration on, but a Pre-Cursor for Map Completion is too much.

Support roles get rewarded the same as DPS roles, Condition Damage Roles etc but all roles are required to do some sort of damage to at least one enemy in order to get a reward. This is for both Dynamic events & PvP.

Perhaps more context is needed in your post for me to fully understand what you mean precisely, but as a general rule, you only need one or two hits per mob or enemy player, and you get credit on their death, which equals reward whatever your role is.

That’s rude ! >:[

The truth is never pleasant, I just stated the facts…

Firstly, you stated the facts in a rude way, which there was no need for.

Secondly, they are not facts. Just your opinion, which you expressed rather rudely, which there was no need for.

I’m sorry I haven’t realized we poop rainbows.
You call it rude, I call it truth.

Making poor choices and then blaming Zammoros or the RNG god, is just…sad.
It almost sounds like they’re entiteled to a precursor drop. In the end it’s just plain and simple…luck, like the bloody lottery, but you don’t see people on the street with signs and I don’t know what, crying about how they couldn’t build a house cause they haven’t won.

On the other hand, you could save up a couple weeks and buy it off the TP, which is a fact.

If you feel offended by what I wrote…good.

I really wish you the best of luck in life. You’re going to need it.

Yeah sure. Just the same as transferring from one EU server to another EU server. The only difference is you can’t guest an NA server if your server is EU and vice versa.

Speculation says they’re aiming for the 10 year anniversary, but I’d be shocked if that happens given recent events.

Hasn’t the 10 year anniversary been and gone?

Sure enough, but some are still claiming August as the ‘date’ . . . if you can believe that. After that passes, they’ll say next year for the 11th.

In other words: no one knows.

Me thinks you got the GW1 10-Year anniversary mixed up with the GW2 3-Year anniversary.

Gaile Gray.6029:

We’re excited to let you know that ArenaNet will be at gamescom in Cologne, Germany, from August 5 through 9. We will be showing off Guild Wars: Heart of Thorns at the Twitch booth in Hall 9.

But can’t be more specific than that I’m afraid.

Gaile Gray.6029:

This weekend’s testing is not at all a “marketing event.” Marketing events are good, too, but this weekend consists of a real, honest-to-Dwayna test, with feedback invited from all who participate!

This sentence suggests some are saying marketing is not a good thing. How did they get a hold of this game in the first place? o.O

I never understand why some players spew out words like marketing like it’s some major government conspiracy for a commercial business to get word out a new product is coming on the, erm, market!

I find it interesting that many of the folks here apparently siding with the OP are condoning and encouraging the very same behavior they claim to be reporting.

There is a difference between being a kitten to an innocent player who just wanted to play an event, and being a kitten to a kitten.

If he just asked normally I would back away. I wouldn’t have a problem with someone wanting me to back off so he can do things his way, I have a problem with people insulting me for no reason, and if I can strike back at them without risking a ban I will.

I’m sorry…I guess you were talking about another incident. If the OP quoted the “offending” player correctly then I did not see any offensive or insulting behavior at all. Adding the “F” word did not change the players statement, it only added emphasis. They could just as easily have said “Get out there need to fail” and the meaning would stay the same…even if not in perfect English.

I suspect however that the OP might have found some other reason to report them or otherwise be offended. The fact that the OP even started this thread suggests to me that they know full well the situation but were choosing to be “Guiding light” in how this game should really be played.

You can’t understand the rudeness behind someone swearing at you in private message? Swearing doesn’t add emphasis to anything, it’s just plain rude and usually serves only to insult people or pick fights. You might find it acceptable to be sworn at, but that doesn’t mean every player does.

The OP had right to report/block. It’s up to ArenaNet to decide if it was intense enough to server a warning or a ban.

Sometime after August 9 anyway:

Soon™

We already have Lute, so can’t see an Acoustic Guitar coming any time soon (though it would be a nice addition anyway) – but I do like the idea of the Saxophone coming to the gem store. I bet that would look really cool, especially on Asura!

Bob Holness FTW!

Anrik.7361:

For the in-game chat box there is an option “Flash on Unread Messages.” Is it intended to work only on the “Main” chat tab not any other even though it is checked in all tabs. For example I have one labeled “Guild” (like I’m sure most people do) however when people are talking in guild chat it won’t flash or turn a different color like like the “Main” tab does.

Yeah it’s been a problem for a while. It seems to be only separate guild chat tabs affected, as I have 5 tabs:

Main / Say / Whisper / Party / Guild

And only the Guild chat tab doesn’t flag for me. Though strangely, when I have guild chat ticked in Main, it does flash.

From what I’ve noticed, the AI on the Champions are quite intelligent, using their skills at selective times, rather than just randomly like a PvE mob.

A couple of matches when I’ve popped out Nika for example, she’s cloaked us as an enemy player is downed, allowing us to finish them with ease without detection or interruption.

Oh sorry about that, and no I didn’t know nor do I really care. Like most people we come for daily/loot and that’s it. Just like dungeons cutscenes.

Yes, so it’s just the right thing to do to attack people who do care. Foor for thought.

Actually what made me “agressive” was the old wow/gw comparison (started since gw1), it’s like comparing apples and oranges, both are fruits but not the same taste. Just like they’re mmos but not the same target audience.

It was aggressive, not “aggressive”

I was looking all over for those two! Thank you for showing us where they are!

It’s a problem that’s been addressed several times. The issue is that taking a certain key point is more rewarding than keeping as certain key point.

As I’ve said in another similar post to this, I think you should get rewarded for taking a point, but get rewarded even more for keeping it.

As for the player whispering you, and anyone for that matter – there is never an excuse for verbal abuse – be it in PvE, WvW, PvP etc. Report & Block the user. That player will have their comeuppance one day.

I saw this last night – I tried to take a screenshot but it crashed the Mac client :s

Sithis.3564:

It’s cool, but..

When I was making my new Engineer today I started hearing strange noises, almost like on a construction site. The music has ingame sounds in it.

Fix pls

Those background noises have always been there for Engineer! You hear a different themed background for each profession (Chaos fields & Portal Entre noises for Mesmer for example) – Perhaps you’ve got your environment noise up louder than you usually have?

Hi,

I’ve logged on this morning with my morning coffee, and the music is playing is different to the regular music. I think it’s awesome and I hope we get to keep it. No doubt it’s Heart of Thorns music due to the Revenant Beta Weekend, but I’d love for us to keep it before then!

My hat’s off to the composer.

CorrynnStarr.7942:

yea I can see it now… full bank of exo GS’s… dump them all in the forge, don’t get a pre, delete toon start again with full bank of exo GS’s… till you get one. mhmm… not exploitable at all… best fix for this is disable looting and forging for beta.

If you do get a pre-cursor you can’t keep it. The Revenant Beta slot is a copy of what was in your bank and wallet, and is separate to the rest of your characters. If you put 15 pre-cursors in your bank on your Revenant, then switched characters to a normal one, there will be no precursors when your character gets to the bank.

So don’t worry – there’s no exploitable issue.

And to the OP – it’s not cruel – the big letters above the screen of all Beta Characters clearly say progress will not be saved – and the words are there all the time.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

I think it’s a L2P issue

… he says to Purple Miku. Dude, that takes some serious guts. (or ignorance)

Why?

He’s crazy good at this game, mainly pve. I think if there’s anyone whose opinion you would take under serious consideration it would be Miku’s. Not to say his opinion is always right, but i do agree rev looks boring and a bit bad

Fair enough, though we can’t assume everyone in the game knows one player. Unless Tarasicodissa knows that Smooth Penguin has heard of Purple Miku’s PvE expertise of course!

I think the OP is right that one or two traits could get looked at – I mostly noticed the lack of “with this weapon” traits for example. I couldn’t find a single ‘with Staff’ trait or a ‘when wielding a Hammer’ trait myself. I could just be going blind though, so please correct me if I’m wrong. I suppose there’s always the possibility they’ll end on the final Specialisation line of course, though them all to be on one line would be strange I think.

DaveyC.4398:

its not actually the first ‘Beta’ though’ is it right?

The other time where we got to play Revenant was a stress test, not specifically to beta the revenant itself, unlike now.

Well, I’ll rephrase just so we’re clear – based on the gameplay moves, and not the current numbers I want melee staff for Thief even more now.

punahou.3986:

lol no wonder why earlier today I would hit BETA char slot

make a toon (not a revenant) AND STILL BE on the regular server.

I thought the beta was going to be on a test server.

BTW are reves auto’d up to 60? with full gear?

Auto’d up to 80, with full map completion minus the Hearts & Hero Challenges.

DevilLordLaser.8619:

Can’t play until I get home from work, but the way I’ve heard it the Rev staff is incredibly weak. Absolutely pitiful damage and somewhat unimpressive healing, which is a shame for the game’s first ‘heal your friends with this!’ weapon.

Gotta say, that is intensely foreboding considering how hard people are pushing for melee weakstaff on Thief, too.

I don’t think you understand – we’re Beta testing it – the Revenant is far from the finished product. Calling the staff a ‘weakstaff’ because it’s a beta on a completely different class is a very tall order.

After trying the Revenant staff earlier, I want melee staff for thieves even more now!

emikochan.8504:

Yep an elite for each skill type would be nice.

Aye, and a healing skill too, to round out the choices. Such as a healing and an elite Thief Trap. There are a few blanks for all professions.

Yeah it’s a fake, so don’t worry about it. Report them, then block them, then carry on having fun. ArenaNet will never contact you about a ban, they’ll just ban you.

The agonising Thief Specialisation Speculation continues. Are there any Chronomancers out there please? Please fast-forward time to the Points of Interest episode showing us Thief Spec so we can all be put out of our miseries once and for all!

I’m Pro-Staff. I’d also settle for Focus or Greatsword.

KatanaPunk.1286:

I am normally pretty quiet on my opinion…

BUT

you guys forget that no spec will get the same weapon as other specs. So forget the staff thing when rangers are getting one.

As other have said, this hasn’t been said anywhere, by anyone except players assuming so. Though it would be nice if ArenaNet did shed some light as to whether or not there’ll be duplicate weapons in elite specialisations.

You get one guaranteed transmutation charge for every city you map.

If you want to farm for a bunch of Transmutation Charges for free, you can have one character slot dedicated to doing a city map, then once you’ve got your transmutation charge, you can delete that character and start again. Both Divinity’s Reach and The Grove are fairly quick cities to navigate.

As others have said, there’s also PvP, and the Daily Log-In rewards that give you transmutation charges too. Also for levelling characters, consider getting yourself an Outfit too, you can wear that until level 80 for the same look without using a single charge.

Yep, noticed this myself and it’s been a bug for a very long time! When you’re standing doing nothing in the world (for looking at map or whatever reason) and you get a Skritt throwing a bottle at you, the last thing your character would be saying to them “You’ll be feeling that one for days…”

I do hope one day it gets fixed!

Just a flesh wound.3589:

If I have stuff I want to delete, I put them all on my key runner and then delete my key runner.

This is actually very sound advice. Good call.

I wish ArenaNet would just put us out of our misery already, just so we don’t get as many posts about the same conversation!

If they can’t confirm if Thief is getting Rifle or Staff, can they at least confirm whether or not any single weapon will be tied to more than one specialisation?

I’m Pro-Staff for the record.

I’m finding it ironic that you call having to type to delete your items for safety reasons ‘obnoxious’ yet your writing in this entire thread with a rather abrupt and obnoxious attitude.

If you want to write a post about an issue, and have some level of a constructive discussion about it, it is always best to write it when you have had some time away from the issue that’s causing you so much anger, rather than being annoyed by the said issue and coming to the forums right away. You are then not clouded by what is frustrating you, and your point of view will look a little less enflamed.

They are still working on it – they want to make sure they get it absolutely 100% right before they bring it back I believe.

SoulTaker.2093:

Really? nobody else thinks this is a good idea?

I’ve re-read your post and I don’t actually see an idea you’ve suggested. It just looks like you’re saying you don’t like certain sigils & runes. Where’s the idea you’re asking us to like?

Also – it’s good to see you edited out that certain part of the message.

FrizzFreston.5290:

penelopehannibal.8947:

Thief isn’t getting rifle because the Revenant is getting it.

Not sure if joking or not.

Don’t worry, I am joking – I’m just trying to display the same sense of barrel scraping as some of the Pro-Rifle people are!

Johje Holan.4607:

In the image the rifle clearly has all of those; stock, barrel, trigger and muzzle. Its even got a strap.

The Barrel is obvious. The muzzle is partially off the image. The stock and trigger are hard to see just due to the blurring effect in the lower left of the image.

I’ve included an annotated image for those who don’t see it.

Thief isn’t getting rifle because the Revenant is getting it.

arenta.2953:

sebradle.7034:

arenta.2953:

go by that logic if u want, but then why put staff in at all.
what does theif gain from it?
a mobile melee? nope. dagger
a stationary melee with knockdowns? rip for thief

i’d sooner believe its a dart gun than a staff(at least dart gun is a stealth weapon)

can u give evidence of any ninja using a staff during actual combat (aka not training)

First off a staff is in there cause we are all here speculating that the artwork represents the thief elite spec character panel and every single character panel for elite specs has included the elite spec’s weapon.

Second, what you feel the thief gains from a weapon choice doesn’t matter. You are not the developer anet can give thieves scepters and shoot unicorns from the scepters if they wanted to so saying that scepters does not give thieves anything is a mute point. Just like saying staff gives thieves nothing is a mute point because if anet wants to give thieves staffs they are gonna give thieves staffs no matter how you feel about what thieve’s need.

Third, why do I have to give a historic basis for ninja’s using staffs. Cause first of all ninja’s as seen in movies and other media are so far removed from actual historic ninja that there is no point in comparing the two or giving a historic basis when developing a ninja for a video game. Historic ninja’s for one were mostly peasant farmer’s more likely to use a hoe or other farming tool in the manner of a staff like weapon then a rifle seeing how gunpowder would be hard to come by. Also ninja’s using staffs isn’t crazy look at Donatello from the teenage mutant ninja turtles for example. Also i don’t think you have ever even touched a real bo staff cause if you have actually felt the weight of one you wouldn’t be calling it a bludgeoning weapon like it cant quickly disable or kill someone. A strike from a bo staff on someone without armor is gonna do its job in one hit. Also one of the most iconic ninja weapons is nunchucks those are bludgeoning weapons as well but I guess you cant kill people with those either.

i was talking about ninja in the period of Oda Nobunaga.
heres a cartoon review

and seriously? unicorns and rainbows?
devs have freedom yes, but ultimately they need to appeal to players.

cause players have freedom of choice for what game they play and spend money on.
devs can’t choose what game they develop.

Did you really just ask one member of the forums for evidence of real ninjas in combat, to prove how a thief bo is ‘viable’ but then reply to them with cartoons?

Tim.6450:

Mortifer.2946:

What? I created my characters years ago so I don’t remember. But how does it work with the final boss? If somebody misses it, he or she has to wait for it? That sound silly.

yep that’s the way it goes. Waiting means another event though.

Even if you don’t do a single hit on the last boss (For example, the two earth hands in the Defense of Shaemoor) you still progress to the next stage. Once you’ve simply ‘seen’ the hands, you’re the Hero of Shaemoor, in game terms.

It drops at only at the end of the level 10, 40 and 60 chapters, I believe.

Linfang.1087:

So I guess the new PVP map will be for settling divorces?

No, that would be domestic violence

Random.4691:

It’s a blow rifle, kinda like those darts but much less range and has the possibility of the user passing out due to lack of oxygen.

After doing some data mining of my own, I can confirm this is correct.

Leap Of Faith.8263:

We can hire instrument players to play romantic songs.
Can buy lots of fireworks and distribute it to people.
And have lots of food, bonfires, banners, guild banquet, box of fun, bobble heads, etc.
Have coordinated dance maybe.
Have similar outfits of bride and groom.
And name change contract would be a nice addition and cute too

All of these can be done already with the use of RP, a few friends a little imagination.

As for an in-game Wedding/Marriage mechanic – no thanks. The last thing we need is ArenaNet getting tickets over in-game squabbles about who gets the keep the Quaggans when it all goes wrong!!
