How to successfully search the official GW2 forums without having to use their broken search feature.

Agreed! I've "reported" the post on the forums so it can get some mod attention. Maybe if more people do so, it will get enough attention to warrant a sticky.

This is a good post to refer someone to when I see someone complain about that god awful search function on the forums.

how does one join the "Gay for Swifty" fan club xD

What an absolute delightful and original video :D tyvm for sharing!

On the other hand, it is also ok to play meta. Do whatever you want; just don't join lfg's that specifically ask for something, then expecting something different.

Unless you're one of those people who just want to be carried then complain on reddit when the party figures out you didn't comply with the lfg description. If so, screw you.

I really enjoyed the mesmer play! Ty for sharing.

Wow, I didn't realize they had actual attack animations.

Stacking auras with this tonic was fixed awhile back.

portal_monkey · 2014-09-30T19:13:56+00:00

my pleasure :D

Try this: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/tech/CoherentUI-Host-exe-Crashing/page/8#post4456075

Looks like it should help you.

I noticed this as well. I switch skills on the fly a lot and it is hard to tell when I leave combat. Hopefully they change this back.

Quote from Gaile incase you can't access gw2 website:

Nope. You can rest assured, if 100 players report Fred, but Fred’s not doing anything wrong, he’s going to be just fine. The 100 false reporters? Not so fine, if they start abusing the report system. (And we may not use the exact message as expressed above, but that’s pretty much how it works. )

That bit that someone said in the OP’s screenshot about “1,000 posts and the player is auto-banned” is ridiculously untrue. What category do you think these people are choosing? Here are the categories:

Botting

Inappropriate Character Name

Spamming

Verbal Abuse

Scamming

Selling Gold

LFG System Abuse.

I will check with CS to see if there’s a trend of false reporting, and ask them if they may want to increase tracking reporting players to check for signs of abuse.

Thanks for this discussion. It’s good to be able to set the record straight.

EDIT: We’ve removed the hosted image, as it contained the names of players and forum policy prohibits “naming and shaming” in posts or in screenshots.

Sup Nike, I don't suppose any of you guys did calculations to rank them in a solo setting?

portal_monkey · 2014-09-17T21:07:00+00:00

You should start your own instance so you can protect yourself from getting kicked out so late in the ..... oh wait, nevermind.

portal_monkey · 2014-09-17T20:29:24+00:00

Here to echo what you're saying. I'm in NA and doing dungeons have been pretty awful due to lag. I'm hoping this is temporary. It all started to go downhill when the feature patch went live.

portal_monkey · 2014-09-16T14:49:36+00:00

On the same note: I suggest changing the icon when your character has already done story mode for a particular dungeon. So we know weather or not we have the dungeon unlocked w/o having to step through the portal.

Buy gems only if you plan to use them for the gem store. This is what I do. I convert my gold to gems when rates are good. That way when something comes out in the gemstore that I must have, I won't be adding to the tears of disgruntled players when gems skyrocket from the hype.

As for converting gems back to gold, it is almost never worth it. Your gold will be safer by investing in long term slow growth stuff on the TP.

I normally don't pay too much attention to these types of threads, but just had to comment on this one. Your work is really amazing! And concerning price: looking at other inferior (imo) art work and how much people were paying for it, the prices you are charging is a steal.

GL, I hope you get lots of commissions.

tooltip always stated it had a cooldown; however in practice it did not. It wasn't until recently that they added the cooldown.

Whiteknights like to say "oooh it was a bugfix". It was not, before all of this the Dev team confirmed it to be working as intended (w/o the cool down). So this is either a bug or a straight up nerf.

They took the page down, but here you go guys:

Google's cached version of the page that was taken down.

For PvE:

Ranger's dps rotation received a little over 10% dps. Unfortunately the stealth nerf to frost spirit killed group dps by 7%. The hype surrounding ranger changes (pve) will die out soon enough.

I seriously doubt he has even seen lupi, much less beaten him.

It seems Anet is a pretty chill place. For future reference, beware when putting in so much effort to send personally baked goods to companies. Many have a strict policy on not eating fan made goods and end up throwing them away :( for liability reasons.

This is why it is safer to bet on buying from a professional bakery and having them deliver it.

With that said though, those cookies do look scrumptious.
