Guild Wars 2: Post-Release Discussion

Does +healing add to the regen on healing signet or does it only apply to the actual cure?

At level80 in the mists, the +300 healing from traits upped the regen from 200 per tick to 210.

[Arximiro]

yikes that doesn't seem very good, thanks

[Rhyis.]

Mathematically, it should increase a 200 regen to 260 (30%).

Hello,
In the coming hours, we will be restoring account access to those who were suspended for exploiting the bugged vendor prices for the Norn Cultural weapons. Not everyone will have access restored right away. In some cases we are awaiting more information from the player, and some appeals are still coming in. We will address each appeal as quickly as we can.
We’d like to remind everyone that we do not seek to punish, and any time a drastic measure like this is taken, it is taken to maintain the health and integrity of the game. As we reinstate these accounts, we expect everyone who appealed to honor their commitment to destroy all illegitimate gains, whether those are crafting items, currencies, or the weapons themselves. To remove currencies, making a purchase of appropriate value and destroying that purchase will suffice.
We would also like to acknowledge that we are not free from blame. In a game this big, problems inevitably occur that are difficult to locate , and moving forward we will continue to address these issues in a timely, communicative and efficient manner. What constitutes an exploit, and what has resulted in these suspensions, is using a flaw in the game to gain an unfair advantage over other players that is clearly not in line with the design of the game. Please remember, opportunity does not equal permission.
We also understand that sometimes the consequences of such an exploit may not be clear or apparent. In these cases, try to think about how the actions of one player can affect the millions of other players, or the in-game economy as a whole. In your appeals, many of you stated that you only purchased large quantities of weapons to use for personal gain and not for profit. Such an act devalues the time and effort put forth by every other player who opts not to take advantage of an exploit. We will be publishing a FAQ on exploits soon.
On the subject of your appeals, most of you expressed understanding for the decisions that we made. For that, we are deeply appreciative. Going forward, we will strive to maintain only the highest of standards for the game and the community, and we ask that you do the same.
As one player noted in his appeal, we have the opportunity to work together to forge a legendary MMO experience and that is not something we take for granted. If you encounter any other bugs or anything suspicious in game, please feel free to report it by typing "/bug" in-game, or by sending an e-mail to [1] [email protected].
All of that said, on behalf of ArenaNet and NCsoft, we’d like to extend a sincere welcome back to Tyria. Let's all have some fun.
Regards, The Guild Wars Support Team

Still in queue for wvW (magumma)

[Rhyis.]

Labor day weekend man. I expect this every weekend until they raise the zone cap tbh.

Seems my GF had her account hacked. They added authentication bullshit so you can't log in to the game without confirming your email, but they can just go and change the email associated with the account with absolutely no confirmation required. Just a heads up, don't use stupid passwords that are easy to bruteforce or the same password you've used for other stuff (games especially). As was stated before, you're best to use a unique email for the game (newly created and not posted anywhere else), but if you're not willing to do that at least make a thorough password.

[Insanecyclone]

That sucks. Think I may actually do that today.

[LidenbokValour]

Nvm, I was mayad and rambled some shit lol.

Straits of Devastation is great fun! >_>

[Ohemgee]

Good thing I have my own email through google apps. I can create aliases and shit for every game

[Flarega]

I like the exploration rewards a lot, but I wish the items I got for exploring were always usable by my class. Right now it just seems like you're guaranteed 2 greens, and some other stuff.

[Arximiro]

I see a lot of WTB and WTS shouts in town. I'm wondering how would they carry that transaction out with no way to trade player to player in this game? Does one guy mail the money and just hope the other guy mails the good after?

[Arelian]

I really, really wish dungeon rewards were more... rewarding. Getting the same generic helm from every story mode is boring, and I see they didn't "fix" the drop rates for tokens in explorable mode like they said they were going to in a few interviews after BWE2.

[Zzsark]

They shouldn't have changed how dungeon rewards were handled and only having the unique skin on the lvl 80 gear was another wtf for me. Not sure why they changed these from the BWEs.

[supercoco]

what did the do ?

[Kuishen]

Holy shit @ the WvW Borderlands puzzle. It's relatively easy and first time I got 2 trebuchet blueprints from it. You can repeat that shit daily? Dear god never spending money on blueprints again.

[Kuya]

Is the puzzle only located in the main borderland and not the home territories?

[Kiarax]

Holy shit @ the WvW Borderlands puzzle. It's relatively easy and first time I got 2 trebuchet blueprints from it. You can repeat that shit daily? Dear god never spending money on blueprints again.

I got 2 siege golems In the middle of the Eternal Battlegrounds puzzle right now, hopefully I can luck out here too.

Edit: Yoooo

With how active ANet has been with the banhammer, I wouldn't try to rip someone off via in-game mail.

[Eanae]

I've done a fair share of trading and haven't been ripped off yet surprisingly enough.
