Will the mac version finally get out of beta with HoT?
The Mac cider client is really unstable atm and crashes all the time in large boss fights or WvW zergs fights.
To be honest, probably not out of Beta ever. However, as I said earlier (Don’t know if it was this post or a similar one) it being called a beta is a fairly loose term, since we’re not really getting that many more problems than PC users really (in general). 
NO SEASONED PLAYER IS GOING TO REVIVE SOMEONE FOR THAT FUNNY AMOUNT OF USELESS XP.
Obviously!
What I’m saying is that now that new players will come into the game, I believe there should still be a number comming out, even if it’s another useless currency.
Think “10 points of karma” useless.
As long as it exist, new players will be more inclined to do so.
Is a psychological thing!… A Skinner Box!
We were all new players once, and I certainly don’t remember reviving my first player as “Hey, I can get XP for this?” it was more “Hey, this player needs my help!”
I think most people revive players out of kindness, not for the XP
Hover your mouse at the top of the chat box, slightly to the right of your last chat tab, but not too far as to be in the resize corner, and hold and drag slowly back down to the bottom.
Most likely Tuesday, 23 June, 2015 as the major updates are typically every other Tuesday.
For roleplaying guilds on EU (mostly Piken Square) your best port of call is:
http://www.guildwars2roleplayers.com
as there is a directory in the forums there specifically listing many different types of RP guilds there are, be it Mercenary, Seraph, Nightmare Courts guilds ect.
Good to see it being addressed
Yeah, it stacks in intensity over time. Starts off quiet, then builds up to 25 stacks of Skeleton Rattling madness. I reported it as a big yesterday.

I’m usually against Open World Farming, usually because it ends in sour grapes and petty squabbles about who ‘owns’ a champ, or an event, or some ambient creatures.
However, since lately I’ve been doing world completion on several of my characters, I’ve not noticed any form of squabbling in the said area when I’ve been doing the heart, even if I myself have killed the crows to finish the heart there. (I usually just stomp the rats though if I notice a higher population there).
If they are acting responsible and not verbally abusing people, which I’ve seen no evidence of, then they aren’t hurting anyone. Live and let live.
If it becomes Rata Sum Barmy Balmy Farm Fight 2.0, then yes, nerf it by all means.
They did mention the new Hero Point system months ago.
The new system will mean in order to get PvE skills & traits, you have to do PvE content! Imagine that?? More specifically, Skillpoint Challenges (as well as through levelling).
On the bright side, they’ve said once you’re at level 80, you’ll have been awarded enough Hero Points to have a fairly diverse set of builds, even if you haven’t done a single Skillpoint Challenge.
What about converting Dragonite Ore, Bloodstone Dust and Empyreal Fragments to currency? Now that would actually be helpful.
Unfortunately, though I agree it would save some space, they are an ingredient, not a currency. I think we’d need an actual item to craft with for crafting.
Hero points will be coming through either as a level up reward or Skillpoint Challenges. Any other skilpoints you have aquired will be converted to a currency to purchase crafting materials to use in the Mystic Forge.
In other words: If you levelled your alt through map completion and did Skillpoint Challenges through the PvE maps, you’ll probably not lose as many.
If you did a quick fix speed levelling by EotM or Champ Trains, and gained skill points to buy skills through eating Scrolls of Knowledge, those Skillpoints will be converted into crafting materials.
They will easily be able to tell which is which by looking at your current level (So if you’re level 80 you get ~400 Hero Points) plus adding how many Skillpoint Challenges in PvE you’ve completed.
They’ve also said if you’re 80 you’ll be able to get most of the skills & traits anyway, so speed levellers won’t be too badly disadvantaged. But I still recommend to anyone get as much PvE map completion done, with as many characters as you can ready for HoT.

It is not a very large request.
They’ve got two choices:
1) Give a date, which will be an ‘initial’ date, then something won’t quite be ready, and it’ll have to be put back a little. Then something else will have been unforeseen, and will have to be put back. All while this is happening, people will be complaining about it being ‘delayed’
2) They don’t give a date until it’s ready. No broken promises, at the request we loyal and humble players be patient.
I prefer the latter.
Hi,
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but since today’s patch (09 June) there’s a constant wooden clanging going on in the environment in Divinity’s Reach.
When you first step into the city, everything seems normal. But gradually it gets louder and more intense, almost like it’s a vast amount of small wooden clanging sounds stacking over time.
I’ve had to turn environment volume down whenever I’m in the city as it’s driving me insane! >.<
Thanks.
They will have a better look next update when the Core Specialisations are introduced.
Highly unlikely, but on the bright side, at least this chest has saved you using up to 6 transmutation stones as they are skins that can be attached to an existing piece of armour.
Not all reveals were preceded by a twitter teaser.
Agreed. Not all teasers were done on a Monday either!
You’re missing Rata Sum by the sounds of it
Lol yes, that has exactly the 9 WPs, 19 PoIs and 5 Vistas that he’s missing.
How do you completely miss one of the racial capital cities?
From the ground, you can’t miss it, as it’s a giant floating cube! :p
But looking at the map, it is kinda camouflaged by the surrounding brown rock. I’ve done map completion a fair few times, one of my characters forgot about Hoelbrak once, and another completely missed Dredgehaunt Cliffs!
It’s strange, but I’ve found it seems easier to forget some zones the more times you’ve done map completion, because you seem so sure you’ve already done a map you’ve missed.
I have checked every PvE map percentage three times and confirmed 100% for all of them. One character shows 98% map completion — 477/486 WPs, 633/652 PoIs, and 221/226 Vistas. Looking at the WvW map, those are the only ones I’m ‘missing’.
I know about the “new PoIs” and made sure to get them done.

The bug’s basically been there since the Content Guide was released, and I suspect Just a flesh wound is right that’s it’s a ghost from the Jubilee events
Jesus! £650 on gems O_o These people are insane xD I spent £8 or whatever it was in the first week for extra bag space and char slot – how could they spend so much. I’ve bought everything I’ve ever wanted from the gemstore too.
I must admit I’ve probably spent about this much on gems over the past 2.75 years, but I do so because I choose to, not because ArenaNet are twisting my arm. And also because I enjoy the game, and I spend a lot of time in the game.
Gems are a guilty pleasure!
It’s against the ToS for sure, but I don’t see how this affects you at all. Just scroll past and be on your way like the rest of us.
I don’t know if ArenaNet do, but I’d class it as an RMT purchase, which if allowed, affects everybody.
Re: The "WTS gw1 acc 50/50hom 2k gold pm me” guy
I saw this too earlier. I reported for LFG Misuse.
Edit: What I’ve also been doing is joining his party and leaving again, since he’s on his own, it takes his post off LFG

I disagree with the OP because the community as a whole is the best community in any online game.
However, the OP is right on the part of open world farming. When you get farming techniques that require either failing and event, or a train that thinks it owns events or champs, there’s going to be toxicity.
Open world farming is a bad idea and it brings down the reputation of an otherwise over-exeedingly good community.
But OP: One or two selfish farmers does not equal the entire gaming community of Guild Wars 2!
Most players in Guild Wars 2 are very helpful and polite players, a lot more so than most other games.
It seems Moto is officially, the most powerful NPC in Tyria! 
It’s a regular occurrence and a common subject on these forums – If you’ve Reported & Blocked them, then they will sort them out.
Since you’ve visited their website, I’d change the password to both your email address and your GW2 log in, just to be on the safe side (Make sure they are both different too!)
As soon as I get to play as a Skritt… and steal everyone’s shinies.
You can already play as a Skritt. I RP as a Skritt sometimes in my guild. All you need to do is combine the following in the Mystic Forge:
2 x [Mystery Tonic] + 1 x [Slab of Red Meat] + 1 x [Tiny Claw]
You can make the Mystery Tonics via Artificer 400 Crafting.
Then, as I mentioned in my reply about how to make a playable Kodan, get yourself a purchasable environment bundle.
To be honest, with the megaserver system, it doesn’t really matter as much in PvE as you’ll be put into merged servers anyway. The majority of the server choice is down to the competitive WvW players.
I’m in Piken Square myself, which I personally feel, if you want the friendliest environment, is the friendliest server. You do tend to still get put in the same megaserver as other Piken Square players too, mostly in the main cities since it’s also the ‘Unofficial’ Roleplay server.
Piken Square is also quite high in the WvW tables I think, though not among the highest.
What happens if the item you personally mark as junk suddenly becomes of value on the TP due to a stat change?
Also, I have a feeling that having a long, long list on everybody’s account as what is junk to them might slow the servers down. Remember there are literally thousands of different possibilities, from minor runes to all the various levels and stat choices of blue & green weapons/armour.
But I think it might be better when you sell to a vendor if you have a tick box next to each one, and have a ‘Sell Selected Items’ instead, so there’s no overhaul to make a list of every single possible item in game.
You can already play Kodan as a playable race – search of ‘Ursan Tonic’ on the trading post, and purchase environmental weapons from vendors, such as the Frost Gun from Researcher Bamm in Gendarran Fields, or Jezza’s Flamethrower from Cogl in Sparkfly Fen.

There goes my hopes and dreams for melee staff on thief. Just wanted a ninja flipping out Asura…with wings and a fez hat.
I’ll settle for mainhand axe though. nudge nudge Anet
Hope for this is not lost yet! As I mentioned earlier:
“and the revenant will be the first profession to use the staff as a melee weapon in Guild Wars 2.” <— So hopefully not the last nudge nudge Anet

It says part way through “and the revenant will be the first profession to use the staff as a melee weapon in Guild Wars 2.”
Please. Please. Please tell me there will be another profession that uses Melee staff! Preferably one that isn’t heavy armour class. Wink wink!

Personally I’m doing two things:
1) RP with my guild as usual!
2) Doing map completion with as many characters as I can ready for the switchover from Skill Points to Hero Points. I want at least one of each class with 100% map completion. Currently working on Elementalist, then I’ll only have Revenant to go.
they are overrun by farmers who run them all day long and have no chance to lose
Three points to this:
1) Being good at something doesn’t guarantee you will win!
2) Skilled players win by skill, not chance!
3) You don’t actually have to win – just take part!
edit: dual fractals? There is only one of them running today. Where are you seeing 2?
I think what the player is saying is that even though today is only a single Fractal, having a Fractal Daily and an Event Participation daily is taking up two out of the four daily slots which he or she won’t play.
This game is cramped full of content already.
I personally suggest try getting as much map completion done as you can with as many classes as you can ready for when the switchover comes from Skill Points to Hero Points.
It’s not really a problem, broken or not. You don’t actually have to win the Daily Activity, just take part!
I’m wondering why there’s so much cynicism from people about this?
It’s a shop – shops do things like get rid of non-selling items off their shelves! When was the last time you saw a hand held spell checker or an electronic type writer at your local tech store?
They are not doing something devious. I personally think it was about time so there’s not so much clutter about the place!
Unfortunately I’ve tried and there isn’t a way – and in the long run I’m glad because I can use the Fn + F7 – F12 to control music and volume during gameplay without it affecting the F7 – F12 functions in-game.
The GM team already do a fantastic job without the need for players to get involved. We all already have the tools we need to deal with botters, gold sellers, trolls and grievers! We have right-click and report and we have an amazing community base as well.
Bots take time because from what I understand, a GM has to observe before pulling the plunger.
Most gold sellers get booted within an hour of being reported. (Simply observe your block list and they go “offline” sooner than we realise and never come back!)
As for trolls & grievers, we have our very own special tool called ‘Map Chat’ – by engaging in a friendly way with one another, it is proven that trolls and grievers become a minority – and many friendships blossom as well! (Tried and tested on EU’s friendliest server, Piken Square! )
As for ‘buying’ GM power with gems – this in itself is a bad idea even if they did give some powers to ordinary players (which they hopefully will never do) – power shouldn’t be determined by how much you can afford, but what good you can do for the community you’d work for.
Nothing wrong with being frustrated with people not reading LFG if you’re after certain requirements, just so long as it isn’t followed by verbal abuse in-game, which I doubt you are doing. (I hope I’m right! )
As for the AP though: I’ve got 17,000+ AP – there are people with less than 1,000 AP that have been better at dungeons than me in the past.
The “What Path?” at the end made me chuckle a bit though! ^ ^
Yes, a re-log worked! Very strange though since everyone in our shard had to do it! Oh well!
Happy New (Belated) Dailies!
I got mine. Have you tried relogging?
Will try – I will recommend everyone in my current megaserver to try the same. Thank you!
