What events are you referring to that were removed. They still have the queen wurm, badits burning the hay, veteran elemental, and harpis event in the starter area.

I Even hit an event I hadn’t seen which was protecting the windmill from bandits.

Nope he is fine to use the key. Make sure he picks the same server you are on so you can WvW if you want to.

Just make sure it is a retailer from there list.

Also hopefully your getting at a discount because if you by the HoT expansion for him that comes with the core game for free.

Level 10 story key

It probably resets with the guild missions. That just changed recently. I do key runs Mondays.

They never did the change yet and if that was the case I would of had the key Saturday since it was after Monday. It looks to be set up as a Full 7 days.

Hey all,

Just heard from the team and wanted to give you an update:

At this time, we expect there will be no changes to the guild mission reset time before launch of Heart of Thorns. We’re investigating the connection between guild mission reset times and raids reset times, and we will know more in the upcoming weeks.

For now, count on the guild reset to take place as normal on Saturday evening Pacific time. We apologize for any inconvenience that our previous message may have caused.

Back at you when we have any further info on this in the future.

Level 10 story key

simplesimon.2084

We all know you can only get the key once a week now. I completed it last Sunday so I figured it reset on Friday and ran it again this Saturday. That was not the case. At the end there was no key. So without accepting the reward I logged off the character till this morning. Just logged in with my key runner and the key was there.

So if anyone messes up the date of there last run just don’t except the reward till the key shows up. No point in wasting the time or scrolls for no key.

Just returned after 12+ months

simplesimon.2084

The biggest change you’ll have is the trait system. At lvl 80 you’ll have enough points to unlock everything in the training tab on the hero panel. After that you can pick 3 trait lines that fit your play style or check out metabattle to see what people say are the optimal builds. Extotic gear is still fine or you can start crafting ascended. Weapons are easier and give a bigger boost. Amulets can be bought with laruls. Rings from fractals and accessories from guild missions. The rings and accessories can be bought with laruls as well but at a higher price.

Good job adding boss timers for raids....

I played DDO for about 6 years. I don’t remember a single raid having a hard timer sitting on the screen. There were some that had a stoft timer if you took too long you could easily get over whelmed with adds but you could still pull it off if you got lucky.

For the key it is only for last quest in the lvl 10 story arc.

With world bosses you have to do enough damage to receive the big chest on the map. With you still leveling and aap full of 80s it may be hard to hit that threshold.

RIP Thief Class Thanks Karl.

You can make a support ticket if you want refund and see what arena net say. No player can answer you question about refund.

Well!! I was not happy with my Elite class and I logged a ticket for refund. Guess what!!

I got my money back!!!.

If you are not happy with HOT, log a ticket now!!!

How do you plan to roll a druid since you no longer have the expansion?

He must have asked for and gotten the refund between now and yesterday. That’s the only possible explanation.

Not the only explanation. It is the internet after all.

Get kicked from own dungeon

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: simplesimon.2084

simplesimon.2084

I never liked the group system in this game. I actually see more abuse with this system than with a traditional party leader system.

Proposed solution: Implement a party leader system. When you form a party, you are the leader. Anyone in your party can invite other players, but you are the only one allowed to kick players. No voting required. Leadership can be passed to other members if desired. If you are the leader and suddenly leave the party, leadership is automatically transferred to the next party member in chronological order.

If it aint broke, don’t fix it.

And then your leader in raid say when 70% of raid is done -ok guys carry me while I go to the store.

Also he won’t be running raids for very long. Word gets around and people won’t be joining his groups.

Get kicked from own dungeon

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: simplesimon.2084

simplesimon.2084

It’s a change they made to get around a number of problems with everyone losing progress if the leader dc’d. They had to remove ownership of the dungeon instance.

You could still have both tho. When the group if first created the person creating the group gets a special icon next to there portiat which shows they are the leader of the party. For that person the kick option is grayed out.

Other option could be added to such as being the only person that create lfg requests and inviting people to the group.

If that person dcs the icon is passed to the next person so the group can still function if he does not reconnect.

I had that issue when I upgraded mine and tried the same thing as you did. The only way I’ve been able to fix it is by running GW2 in administrator mode. My Screens folder is in read-only mode and it won’t change even after unselecing it.

Maybe someone else will have a more permanent solution.

Why can't I be in same instance as my friend

Good to hear you figured it out. If your friend wants to transfer for free he can by deleting all his characters. Just have him put and non-soulbound gear in the bank and make sure the server he wants isn’t full.

That doesn’t work for ftp accounts.

Thanks for the heads up. If you are sure on the info you should update the wiki. I just checked both the f2p and transfer section and neither say anything about f2p not being able to transfer.

I suppose he could just make a new f2p account on your correct server.

Yep just found it here so I updated the wiki

Play for Free Confirmed [merged]

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: simplesimon.2084

simplesimon.2084

I understand why the restriction is there: to stop gold sellers and to make free play as uncomfortable as possible so people will buy the game, but….

if new players can’t ask for help, they’re going to be turned off of the game real quick.

They can pay for the full game, and full access to the game then?

Or they can immediately get discouraged and quit.

You just downloaded the game, have no idea how to play, you have questions. The chat box is unavailable, there’s no indication that you can whisper people, you can’t make friends if you can’t talk — how do you even respond to guild recruitments?

First impression: not good.

If you didn’t spend any money on the game you have no real incentive to go any further. You just chalk it up as a waste of time and quit

…maybe even telling a few irl friends that you can’t even communicate (in an MMO!) if you don’t buy the game. The words P2W probably comes up (though not literally accurate) because if you put basic features behind a paywall those are the words that come to mind.

I’m guessing you didn’t even make a free account. If you did you would of seen that the chat box is sitting there just like it is for everyone else. It just defaults to /say.
