Personally on an elementalist i take pure damage utilities and leave it to the guard to take hallowed ground. I personally have no problem with stability in pve, you just need some competent ppl to run dungeons with :p

So, essentially what you are asking for is a way to have options like “Receive Whispers”:

  • From All
  • From Friends and Guild Members
  • From Friends
  • None

This seems like a reasonable feature request.
If Player A is on Player B’s friends list, but Player B isn’t on Player A’s friends list, how does that interaction work out?

Would this also extend out to things like mail?

(Please note this does not mean that this will happen, won’t happen, is planned to happen, and or not planned to happen)

These all sound like they’d be great additions. But there’s also one other thing that would take it a step further to really making the chat system feel good, and that would be filtering messages based on the text within them. I’m not sure how it would work out, but essentially, there’d be a list or something you can open in-game and add lines of text to it that would remove any message from a player that contains the blacklisted text.
For example, I add “best deal on gold” to the blacklist, then any messages that have those words in that order on it would automatically be removed from my chatbox, before I even see them. This would also make it less draining playing the game from the occasional player shouting incessantly about how bad the game is, balance sucking, etc etc, I just don’t want to see those messages, they promote nothing but negativity and it puts me in a negative mood, even if I do just block the person and forget they exist, because blocking somebody doesn’t let you un-see the things they said in the first place that led you to blocking them.

And then you would get
Good deals on gold
Gold cheep
B3st deal on gold
And so on.

You just need better inventory management. If your doing pve keep your wvw gear in the bank. Keep all your buff items in the bank and ether go to a bank each hour to refresh or keep instance bank item in your inventory.

For new builds you could get a decent test of them in the pvp area. It won’t be identical but would give you a feel of it to see if you want to make the investment.

I’m literally pleading at this point. I would resurrect the other thread I’ve made about it but I can’t find a trace of it.

You want to know why I NEED this function, devs? I was pmed by a gold seller 9 times in less than 1 minute. A girl can’t go afk to do anything without being harassed it seems!

I should not have to change my chat log because some kittenhat decides to spam me with messages. The lack of privacy settings is phenomenal. If I appear offline I can’t see what is happening in guild chat. If I make a tab without whispers then I miss out on talking to people. So it’s either miss out on everything that is being said in both guild chat and messages, or get harassed by people like this. It’s absolutely ludicrous.

This picture only shows some of the messages that were spammed to me. The chat box couldn’t expand far enough to fit it all in, and yes, these are all from the same character.

This function should have been in-game at release. I’m begging that it be put into HoT.

(Before people say “block and report”, yes I know, I know. I blocked and reported AFTER it had happened -as I was afk when it happened-, but instead of being *re*active, I want to have the ability to be *pro*active.)

your post doesn’t say what you actually want implemented.

Literally any type of privacy settings for whispers. A “Do not disturb”, a “friends only” or hell even an offline mode that lets you see guild chat would be nice!

Well for DnD you can set the chat tab with whisper off.
Friends only could be added to the game
And for your offline mode with guild chat only you just need to set the chat tab to guild only.

Cannot Play WvW With My Real Life Friends.

Posted by: simplesimon.2084

simplesimon.2084

So my really good friend, his brother, his girlfriend and a few other friends from my country bought the game.

They are really into WvW and I want to play with them.

The server (world) they are on is always full.

I thought I could stay up late, or wake up super early and the server would eventually become transferable with gems.

It has been MONTHS and the server is always listed as FULL.

Not even World of Warcraft handles servers like this. It is ridiculous that I can’t even get to enjoy WvW with my friends after various attempts to transfer for MONTHS.

I like they way they handle the servers myself. Other games base it off currently loged in which can cause issues during prime time where you can’t log in to your character. That will never happen here since it is based on how many call it home.

I love the character classes in this game, switching from class to class gives a different feel for the game which is great. I rotate between 4 classes which keeps doing the same content over and over somewhat fun. If I have to pick one to advance forward then I will become very part time player at best. I can already see groups kicking players because they have not progressed far enough in their expertise system.

The Masteries system is account bound, so you won’t need to pick one character to advance upon. That said, the Masteries system isn’t likely to come into play in World vs. World at all, at least as it’s currently presented..

That’s probably a good question for someone to put to the devs. Will World vs. World events/experience earned count towards Pact Tyria Masteries?

Probably not since WvW has it’s own type of mastery system already. It was even said by a dev a while gao that the WvW xp was was basically a test(precursor) for the new mastery system.

Preventing RMT attacks & set-ups

The likelihood that someone is going to spend real world money to buy gold to harass another account is vanishingly small. The one thread I’ve seen claiming this is a thread where an ANet staffer came on to say that that account had an extensive history of gold buying, which is way more than the 2 the guy was talking about.

Synonyms for extensive: large, large-scale, sizable, substantial, considerable, ample, expansive, great, vast

Basing your request on the words of someone who was shown to be lying is to make a request to fix a problem that no one has shown to be happening. In other words, it’s a solution looking for a problem.

Just like it is highly unlikely someone will got thru the trouble of finding your actual address and then calling SWAT on you.

Referring to a previous post of yours “The point is the 300 gold was removed from his account even tho he hadn’t excepted the gold from the mail yet.”

The guy had an EXTENSIVE history of gold buying. The gold was from yet another gold seller. They undoubtably already had his account flagged from before the policy change to remove gold. Why should they wait? Would waiting have changed the end result, a guy who bought gold getting gold removed from his account? No. It wouldn’t.

tl:dr
The guy was lying. There is no problem with people paying real cash to have money sent fraudulently to other accounts. Unless this becomes an actual problem then ANet is better off fixing real problems than spending Dev time and money to fix something that isn’t happening.

No matter how extensive the history is I still don’t believe you should be punished before you commit the act.

What then need to look at is if you actually take the gold from the mail. The mail has a return to sender button. As long as you don’t except the gold you should not get punished.

If one of the security team could confirm this is the case, then my whole thread post is redundant. I’d be happy with that

Unfortunately it doesn’t look to be the case if you take what other have posted as being truefull. There was a post a while back someone had received 300 gold which was still sitting in his mail. Anet removed 300 gold from his wallet and gave a 3 day suspension. The poster says he hasn’t bought gold and that support wasn’t helping. He then received another 100 gold later.

I’ll see if I can find the post.

Presumably you missed this red post, that was on that thread, where an ANet staffer pointed out the guy had a previous history of buying gold from before the game started disciplining accounts. In other words, he was lying about not being a gold buyer.

1) You have an “extensive” history of purchasing gold from RMT
2) RMT will “harass” you with gold if you pay them
3) Yes, we are and have been sending out notifications of account action in regards to Botting / Hacking / RMT Purchases for months.
4) I would suggest not doing any more RMT transactions if you value your account

No it wasn’t missed, but his extensive history could of been referring to the two mails he receive. Whether he did or not isn’t the point. The point is the 300 gold was removed from his account even tho he hadn’t excepted the gold from the mail yet.

Server Wait List?

I don’t know for Yak’s bend but several Full server will stay Full for month or even Years as this change comes 1.5 years of overstacking a few server to late.

In such a situation a queue doesn’t make much sense most people that queued in will have stopped playing before they could join.

Refreshing probably doesn’t make any sense, if the status changes it likely changes at reset (friday 20:00-20:15).

Actually the status does constantly change. The only way for a server to not be full tho is for someone to transfer off or Anet raises the cap

Now in the past it’s always been that Anet would never contact you about your account so it was always a dead give away to phishing sites. If Anet is going to start sending emials first people are going to have to be very careful on what links they follow.

Read Chris’s post. You got hacked. The hacker uped you to HoT with a fake code. Since the code was applied you got the refund. Then they found the added code was and so they removed it. You have to work with support but Chris will take care of you.
