Guild Wars 2

Man every bot wave is the same stuff. To the innocent people in this topic:

Stop saying lots of people got banned for no reason or stuff like that just cause you read people say they got banned for no reason in this thread or in general. In almost every game every bot wave this happens.. and guess what? most of them are actually bot / 3rd party program users.

Thanks for the post so people won’t spam reddit/offical forums with same question in different threads!

yea but im hoping arenanet can say no thats it.. so i can stop going mad dont really care about what random people say.

It feels that i get a lot less rares for two days or so – after the unid dye patch i had this voice telling me they somehow nerfed/changed/whatever loot from mobs and/or event mobs and/or magic find effect.

I PROBABLY AM WRONG.. but i just wanted to ask and maybe an offical answer telling no so i can sleep better tonight? :p

bump.. any info on freeze at least?

it is most deffinetly not a lag issue, the game works – if i press forward i can still go forward i just see the same screen for a second then i see myself on where i should be if that freezing did not happen. And yeh i know the gpu is old i just wonder the FPS they suggest i’d get on it.

CPU: AMD phenom II x6 1075T, 3020MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3
Ram: 4×2(8)gb DDR3-1333
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 3870
Using Win7

I know the video card is probably the weakest i just wonder how much FPS i should be getting with spec?

FREEZING PROBLEM:

If i play on fullscreen sometimes my game will freeze for a second then go on – i can still move (like if im pressing move button i still move) and use my mouse (cursor moves). NEVER happens if i am on windowed mode (windowed fullscreen included)

graphic card failure was my guess but not sure.

they clearly said it’ll be an event scaling ppl up so everyone can join in.

Hey i didn’t check Balthazar event since i made my 1st legendary back then it was 99% bugged and had to do it just after a reset or else..

Is it the same case still? Yest we wanted to open it for a friend who needs shards we did every single event and the northern invasion got stuck on at Brassclaw waypoint.

Event says: Southern reached waiting for northern rein.

Just wonder if we missed something or it is still bugged after a few tries following a reset?

Yup this is an important issue too. Even if maybe you thought * if they summon adds its their problem* the NPC was funny..had to kite him to some npcs so he is dead before we start fight ^^

they are working on a restoration system that will only be used on hacking cases afaik.

that is some weird bug dude.. at least you got awesome support ^_o

What i meant is.. if you read what arenanet said it clearly means that they are having trouble proving people are botting in some cases and they will give accounts back if they appeal for the bans thus they are trying to make some upgrades so they can perma ban the botters.

And i think this encouraged some botters to do even more. I mean if i was botting for weeks without getting banned – i’d use it on a lot more accounts after reading that.

Just wondered if this could be the case or it is just pure coincedence ..the timing.

At shelter’s gate there are 10-15 level 2-3 ranger/warrior bot group as of today. These are new. They also level up as time goes. Now i reported every single one of them but my wonder is why did they appear like this all of a sudden?

Is it cause what the forum post states they can’t ban the bots unless its obvious and they are working on new ways to prove bots..so those cant be banned ones are like till next patch we will kitten this spot ?

This also is the time when shelter gate on my server ( Seafearer’s Rest) now has more bots than real people.

Now i know arenanet does stuff to fight bots so im not just whining and it is not a hate post either. I just wonder if that could be the cause of this sudden bot trains appearing?

Vim.7318:

For those that are finding it easy, try it on a minimum spec PC and come back and tell me how many times you ace it. :P

This event should be as easy/hard for someone with minimum spec as it is for someone on a high-end machine. If it isn’t then it is a bad design, plain and simple. My machine is well above the minimum spec but it is not an ideal gaming setup. Trying to rush the jumps however just increases the difficulty factor tenfold and I am sure it is considerably worse for other people.

They should have realised their chosen design would have issues on a lot of their players.

I am all for making hard content, but find a way to do it that doesn’t make it significantly harder for those on lower-end machines. It can’t be that hard to do, seriously.

I play gw2 with lowest possible settings and i only have 20 fps out of combat 13-ish in combat. I’ve done the puzzle with every single race in game. Want me to make a video so you admit it has nothing to do with pc specs?

done it on all races, big kitten norn small asura whatever.. it is only hard if you look at your char instead of your screen and view. So you want to do jumping puzzles easily? switch how you play. i mean it makes no sense to whine about something if you do it casually. And i mean it. Yes it is a jumping puzzle. it is a hard one. you dont have to do it. if its not fun skip it.

I’ll whine all the other puzzles are easy and that cause some find it fun to do easy puzzles doesnt mean i get to skip the fun so they should make them all harder by this logic right?

Seriously.. ONE jumping puzzle is hard and this much whining..

This fov is a big change! really happy with this change but you know what would make me happier?

THIS!… (my camera was bugged for a while like this..and i loved every single second of that)

On my norn i cannot go inside it for reward i’ve tried 6 times and tried to jump directly on right a nd left all give same: it counts me as i jumped on green thing.

I’ve done it on human/asura/sylvari as well without any problem and i’ve done it for my brother too so i can say i can do it fairly easy.

I will not bother jumping on my norn again please tell me when this is fixed or what i can do to by-pass tihs.

More information:

Norn is level 2 – but has been created a long time ago.
I’ve got the reward 3 times is there a daily limit on that?

Is it just me thinking / seeing this or they are really almost invisible if you look at how thick they are? Greatsword for example seems like its made out of paper to me.

i’ve had my legendary for quiet a while now working on 2nd. just noticed the fail in achivements so thought i should question it. Kegbrawl has tons of achivements but legendaries dont?

oops i’ve just seen this late.. i just posted about the achivement needs of legendaries.

I think beyond the looks and cool effects the legendaries should have an impact on your account/char. A title / cool achivement points / bunch of legendaries contribute into some epic title. (Like Sunrise Twilight? Cool here is your title Sky Owner i just made that up yes its silly but you get the point.) stuff like this would make them legendary in my opinion..not oh its so shiny it made me blind.

1 legendary craft gave me 5 achivement points so i looked into achivements.

Stuff that i believe this game is missing althou minor – many people love to hunt those achivements.

Each legendary requires their own achivement.

Having legendaries with similar lore/look/whatever could have their own achivements. (Such as Twilight/Sunrise or all 2handers all 1handers – off hands etc.)

They surely don’t belong under explorer tab.

And 5 achivement points for a legendary is like a slap. You get 5 for 500 item salvage. (2 for 200)

No titles for having them nothing on top of this makes it pretty dull. – And make them even harder to get if you wish..but they should make an impact on your account or at least your char.

What do other people think about this? And i repeat.. i know it may seem something minor..but it is hell a lot easy to add and some people love these stuff.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

so basically what you are saying is… if warrior unequips all his utility skills, takes off all his armor, and only uses 1 weapon skill… THEN he is balanced with the thief????

Yeah because clearly that’s how balance works… glad we cleared up what we are comparing here.

I agree if the warrior takes off all armor, unequips all traits and only uses 100 blades then he is reasonably balanced with the thief, now we just have to convince all the warriors in the game to do this.

I refuse to give a good reply to such a ridicilous post so here is my reply:

Breath – Read – Understand what you are reading – Dont forget breathing – Now do your reply once you are sure you understood it.

Just a suggestion so you don’t look as foolish next time.

They should totally make incoming from boosts get seperated from normal loot/karma you get. UNLESS! of course i am missing something in this system. After all they may know something we dont and is the reason they do it this way.

That is why i wanted an offical response… it really bothers me a lot.

KIDbs .. – Warriors are in a bad spot if anything they’ll be buffed but they focus on nerfs atm on topic:

I disagree that the skills are similar.

Have to stay on a spot on both skills – Correct
Pistol whip also stuns your target for a short moment – GS does not
Pistol whip has no CD as any other thief skill – GS has
As calss mechanics – thief can select and hit people way easier – and get out of there
As class mechanics – Warrior is always visible and a GS warrior cannot go anywhere all it takes is a slow (not even counting other stuff)
Once the GS warrior fails his strike he is out of combat..he cant do kitten.

GS warrior – charge – blades – One trick pony
Thief – pistol whip – Has many ways to play still.

now stop crying and pointing fingers you easy to play class you.

Yes i also do not see any point in them..especially because you hit DR before they run out which leads into making a decision: Do you want to do other stuff while DR goes off or want to log out to another char (as someone that dislikes having alts meaning i have to log out and do other stuff instead of playing.) so your booster time doesnt run out while waiting.

I am just curious if i am missing a valid point, i don’t want to believe they actually did it this way to punish people use influence/gold to get boosts.

I’d like to have an offical response on why karma DR is effected by the amount of boosts you have on yourself. After the DR relaxing i still find it impossible to use karma booster / banner and guild karma boost together. Hitting DR so fast.

Why the DR is effected by boosts? Shouldn’t the base 375 effect DR but not the boosts?

Also when you get karma nerf since they all work with percentages the boosts get worse as you hit DR. It is pretty stupid if you ask me. I wonder if i’m missing anything here.

Any offical response is much apprectiated. (Otherwise please put a warning to karma booster you sell on gem store because people could pay 1.5 gold for that and boom DR and feel really down.)

i even said..(joke) which clearly means i was joking.. relax dudes. I already said i dont blame the server.. it was…a JOKE and i was happy to see desolation suit up again to do stuff.. really and wanted to share that which is not off-topic at all.

Relax.

Attila the Hun.8569:

How hard is to understand we had like 10 players prety much all day in the map ?
but tonight we have queue so things might change

In every post i see by you in this matter.. i st art to believe you are a troll.. you cant be so unintelligent.

If everything in war is fair.

Remove – the – queues. Why do we have to fight equally in our prime-time and be underdogs at night (some server’s prime time)?

Why is there an undermanned buff? Why do they get better loot/xp whatever?

I really dont understand this logic.

Yes i know their server cant handle without queue… but you see queue also is an effort in making it equal in numbers. Why? If we have 3x your size on prime time let us zerg it all and enjoy it as you enjoy nightcapping.

Such pathetic excuses.

Uder you are really being ignorant now.

Yes mesmers CAN do that.

No this mesmer DID NOT. How do we know? Well i could type how here but since people from Desolation confirm this is legit i think its not necessary. Get your head out of your kitten mate. – Yes i’m irritated by you at this point. It seems like it is you that need more experience.

Uder.9187:

tyu.9470:

Sea homeland – A 5-6 man from same guild from Desolation took 1 tower and our garrison by a mesmer teleporting in and portaling everyone out in.

Some people too kscreenshots etc. probly will be around soon.

I have no issues with the server but the way they defend these things (whole zerg is there) is just sad. Seems they are desperate to get a few points.

show us those screenshots so that we can report the possible hacker. mesmers porting in a keep doesnt mean that they hacked though. its called tactics.

And what you just said is called ignorance. Ask people on the same server. They also admit. No i am not an idiot that cant tell the difference. Are you?

I stop now. I guess i am just thinking different than majority.

I was there and.. it is pretty hard to miss its an exploit when you see a mesmer portal into somewhere before any gate or walls are destroyed. And i do know other servers have same lamers ..and i wish they did the same and give back the gain.

Btw before ppl think wrong – desolation took the orb legit. This is not about orb or the east keep.

i’m serious. What is the explanation behind holding a gain that you took unfair? Maybe i think wrong.

I have no problem with any server – but come on do you have to defend the stuff they took? Thats the problem.

We just took garrison after 45 mins of playtime..which we could spend bettre if you didnt defend. See my point mates?

Stop defending the stuff your cheater guild took or are you siding with them? I really dont get this kind of attitude.

If we say your server as a whole is cheating – you’ll say noo its just 5-6 people. But when it comes to defend it to the end you do that no questions asked right?

I mean we had orb exploiters and we trashed him so much he went to other server to steal our orbs. Meanwhile you guys sit and defend towers/garrisons your exploiters took.

Good job guys good job. i’m from Seafarer’s Rest

And I wont even tell arenanet to fix it.. they do nothing and keep server rankings UP its epic.

Such big LIES coming from devs tbh. You don’t want people to farm this has NOTHING to do with being an anti-bot system. It is an anti-farm system. Just admit it. You can’t be such fools to put is so low for bots i refuse to believe that otherwise wow.. i don’t think you can ever handle an MMO.

Karma: 15 minutes of running around in Cursed Shore and i hit diminishing return – which basicly forces me logout for 15 minutes if i dont want to lose karma boost time.

Really? 1 hour karma boost and 15 minutes to hit the karma DR?

Loot: The more magic find we use the faster we hit the DR. Really? i mean..REALLY?! the only point of magic find atm is to have it high enough so you hit loot DR same time as karma..so you give a break for both.

Bots farm one spot.. and more importantly they do. not. farm. karma. I’ve not seen one single bot farm karma events at lvl 80. They only stay at a spot and do 1 or 2 events close to eachother which will NEVER EVER put them in DR unless you make it so low it’ll be impossible to get karma.

Oh and nice hidden fix on logging out to get out of karma DR… now we have no way to play game nonstop.

I cannot play the game in my free time. Game FORCES me to give breaks in less than 30 mins that is gameplay-breaking something worse than economy-breaking bots.

TL;DR: I prefer bots over your DR.

just add another phase to the end where we go down and fight weakened zhaitan in a cool way = problem solved

Event farms are full of people knocking and blocking the paths of mobs that try to reach the event camp at their spawn so they ruin their pathing and glitch they take no dmg and can kill them there easily. I have no problem adopting to this but..

Believe it or not this -is- an exploit using game bug to your advantage. Please ban these people and fix the pathing bugs – or – make mobs invulnerable as you did on pentient camp.

Guardians putting up a blocking line also should not be possible to even mobs.

Such as this:

Can’t complete a map because a skill challenge is bugged (Not talkable). I’m pretty sure it is already reported many times so my question is different.

Will i be able to read anywhere when you fix it or do i have to go there to check it after every patch?

I believe this is for Anet to answer but if they did before feel free to give me a link to their respond.
