Guild Wars 2

Sweet mate :)

When I get home from our (very)small honeymoon tomorrow afternoon I will be playing on desolation. What's your character name? I will have to hunt you down for some adventures at some point :)

Got a few characters, Tombstone Shroud, Bumble Bluntnose, Vladimere Tobyn, Passeril Feylor :)

Was up with the missus at 3am and playing this morning, did some WvW, was good, quite similar to Daoc but the WvW area is quite small compared to Daocs frontiers and I was sad to see that I couldnt run from my servers wvw lands into the other servers wvw lands (had to portal into them instead). But overall quite fun, not quite as good as Daocs frontiers but hopefully it will be fleshed out and expanded upon with time.

Hi Wab, dont know if u will get to read this but as discussed from my mesaage to u last night, i have decided to quit immortals and join my mates guild providing that you will let me back in if i decide to rejoin your guild?
 
They should hotfix and remove the ill earned gains.

Instead of banning for something that is essentially entirely their fault. No external programs or actual cheats were used.

Sorry doesn't work that way.

If a shop left a till open you wouldn't steal the money and say it's their fault would you.

If a bug is present in the game, it's your duty to report it, not take advantage of it.

Are you seriously comparing gaining some extra xp in a video game to stealing and breaking the law? lol.
 
Rolled a Charr warrior last night just to try them out. The animations are really good. I'm glad they didn't just go for bipedal motions. Also, I managed to snag a name I really thought would have been taken, Ray'd Bool Bloodrage (yes I'm an LFG fan).
 
Had a login attempt from Japan last night whilst I was sleeping and someone tried to reset my password. Feel wrong to just ignore it!
Change your GW2 password and/or email address just to be safe?


Trying to log in now - hanging on login screen:

"waiting for authentication"

Anyone else getting this?
Check your emails, there should be an email from Arenanet that you need to follow to authorise the login from that connection.
 
No it's a morale issue, yet the principles of both apply.

If something feels wrong, then it really isn't wise to "exploit" it.

The exploit which got people banned was clearly a bug. Some weapons priced for 2000 karma and some for only 21 karma.

Clearly not intentional, regardless of who's fault it is. It was wrong to abuse it, I hope those who were banned, suspended learnt there lesson. ANet have given the chance to redeem yourself if you were banned, providing you agree to destroy any currency or items you had gained your account gets reinstated. If you don't see ya!
 
I had various boxes appearing ingame last night (just after the new client download) stating something about my password being incorrect. I just clicked Ok and continued bashing bears.

Do I have anything to be concerned about? I don't play the game that much at the moment.
 
Completely agree. If theres a load of weapons listed at 2100 Karma and a single weapon at 21 Karma, it is clearly a mistake and would be exploiting to take advantage of it.

I mean buy 1 for your character or something, sure I see nothing wrong with that. And I guess even a few and its arguable that it's for legit reasons. But the people that have been banned have bought 100's.

The thought process there is clearly "this is obviously priced wrong, will give me an unfair advantage, I will abuse this as much as I can for my own gain".

I know that personally I would have seen this and instantly realised this was wrong to take advantage of, and would most likely result in some action from ArenaNet. Anyone saying otherwise is either very naive, has very little (none) experience with online games / economies, or is just flat out lying.

Thats how I see the situation anyway, obviously this is just my opinion.
 
It's been fixed by now, but from what I've read, there was a karma weapon vendor that was selling weapons for like 2,100 karma, but had one weapon incorrectly priced at 21 karma. People started mass buying the ultra cheap weapon.

Yeah, saw that yesterday, was running around trying to get all the locations and came across a weapon vendor surrounded by lots of players. Checked what he was selling and saw Tier 2 weapons at 21 karma. Didn't buy any as it was obviously a bug.

Cheers bud - fixed now. Would have been helpful if they had told me that in an error message. It said that the problems I was experiencing were probably due to router or firewall problems.
 
Rolled a Ranger last night, really enjoying the play style of this profession this far.

I'm getting a little lost in the stats/build stakes though, GW2 seems so much more in depth than most other MMOs.

What are peoples opinions on the best primary stat for a ranger? Also, for Traits, im looking at going shortbow as a primary weapon with minimal weapon switching as to be frank, I suck in melee combat, what are peoples recommendations for the best primary trait?

Advice appreciated.
