    Portal Distance Scam

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 01:58 AM PDT

    Portal Distance Scam

    These days, many of us are going through Skip up the Volcano jumping puzzle, also known as 'Chalice of Tears'. I recently found out about this happening:

    https://preview.redd.it/7m9rw8ufhca71.png?width=519&format=png&auto=webp&s=fbabf23d8c1500d32a49380b6ed797c38ad452c9

    For those of you who don't understand what's going on in the picture, here is an excerpt from wiki:

    ''Checkpoints will be reset when you leave the area of the jumping puzzle, leave the zone (including logging out or switching map instances) or teleport far enough to trigger a loading screen (over 5000 units).''

    That means that you can go through a portal, get 'out of bounds' and reset your progress.

    Apparently, there are some people who offer porting through the Chalice, only to get you out of checkpoint bounds, make you lose progress, make it seem like it's your fault and ask you to pay extra.

    Please take care to not fall for this scam. If a portal resets your progress, it's not a bug, just a poorly placed portal. That could be an honest mistake, but in that case, you should not pay / tip more.

    If you're looking for reliable porting, ask around in your guild, or contact some lovely mesmers who are known for proper portals.

    Just as a note, players from the picture have already been reported to Anet.

    Mandatory, English is not my first language.

    Hope this helps someone, stay safe. ;)

    TL;DR: if a portal makes you lose checkpoints in the Chalice, it's not your fault, don't pay / tip more.

    Achievement Panel Needs An Overhaul...

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 06:58 AM PDT

    It's getting so cluttered with everything being thrown in the achievement section. There really should be a quest panel for things like the side stories and things like the griffin and skyscale.

    It would also be nice if the meta achievements had a tree like structure containing all of their sub achievements.

    I really hope EoD brings better bot and hacker detection/protection...

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 02:38 AM PDT

    Seeing hackers teleport from gathering node to gathering node — half underground so they don't aggro anything — is a daily occurrence on maps like Siren's Landing and Dragon's Stand. It's nothing special. I got used to seeing it, still cursing every single one of those bastards when I see them, but accepting it probably won't change.

    Now today, I went to Hoelbrak to do my Dragon Bash daily, and for the first time I saw them teleporting from regular Pinata to regular Pinata and even in the Pinata adventure.

    The hackers just really stopped giving a shit. They know Anet does nothing about them so they just start hacking in the most populated maps now to maximise their profits.

    Meanwhile there are 3 bots in my friendslist that are in rated PvP matches 24/7, which I report every single time I open the lfg, and whenever I'm standing around, waiting for a meta. One of them even has a name that is literally mocking Anet for doing nothing about bots. They go completely unpunished for several months now, probably even longer but I rarely play PvP so I wouldn't know.

    I really, really hope all those devs who are busy working on Alliances, DX11, and EoD use some of their resources for better bot and hacker protection. I wouldn't mind waiting even longer for the orb toggle if it would mean I don't have to see those scummy hacking assholes ever again.

    If only we could get those bots to say something racist or homophobic. Anet is really quick to swing the banhammer on that...

    Made a couple of Flying Transitions/Mini Challenges because I love flying

    The Coalescence, Aurora, and Vision dilemma.

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 06:22 AM PDT

    So like many people here I have been sitting on Vision and Aurora (all quests and mats ready to go) and sadly I won't be pulling the trigger right now beacuse of the lack of check box functionality coming to these 3 items in particular. I'm pretty sad that there is no option for legendary trinkets and I'm curious how many of you that own one of these 3 would trade them at a vendor for a totally different legenday item that had no visual effect attached. I would craft them and trade them without a second thought.

    I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to offer a merchant that literally exchanges, say, Aurora for another legendary trinket with a different name that has no effects. You bypass the slumbering problem with this and gives people like me a reason to actaully craft their legendary trinkets. Maybe the merchant would offer one for the other infinitely so you could switch back and forth if you wanted, although I would gladly do this even if it was a one way deal.

    Thoughts?

    I miss MattVisual

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 01:49 PM PDT

    Someone sparked a topic about woodenpotatoes and I thought I'd give a call out to MattVisual. I miss his wholesome vibes. Sad life gets in the way of things. Saw his last video on YT and stream on twitch was 10 months ago (he does do a podcast still).

    Guild Wars 2 devs wanted to keep Twisted Marionette’s encounter “true to itself”

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 12:42 PM PDT

    Hot take: I liked the dialogue system of Core Tyria

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 09:41 AM PDT

    Characters were very expressive and it made you focus on what they are saying.

    I like how it is now but I also liked how it used to be. A mixture of both would be nice. Like the dialogues at the end of a story instance could have this format

    Also the backgrounds are gorgeous

    Appropriate Character name?

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 08:16 AM PDT

    Hallo Guild wars 2 community! I recently got into guild wars 2 and I already have a human male level 58, and im loving the game so far.

    However im slowly regretting my decision to start as a human since i like the theme of the charr alot more. If i was to make a charr Character would including "pussycat" in the Character name get me banned? Personally i dont think its offensive, but I would love you Guys imput on this

    Sincerely a New player

    Dyes to match imbued holographic weapons

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 07:00 AM PDT

    I am trying to dye my armor to match the new imbued holographic sword. I was wondering which dyes match the color scheme for the weapons. Right now I am using "Rose Ice" and "Humiliation" but it doesn't seem to match perfectly. Was wondering if anyone can help me as this is driving me nuts

    Elite Speculation: Arcanist

    I imagine we're all getting excited with the upcoming EOD announcements. I decided to channel mine into some elite spec speculation! Might spend time on other classes if people like this one.

    Clientside effect disabling, feasible?

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 03:59 AM PDT

    So, since Anet has confirmed that they won't be adding an option to turn off the visual effects of aurora/vision/coalescence, how feasible would it be to make a minor edit to the clientside asset files to disable them? For other games, this usually entails just going in, and swapping out a file, or part of a file with transparency and calling it a day. Example, More Complicated Example

    A clientside fix would, of course, disable the effects for ALL rendered characters, not just the player, but that's a small price to pay to not have to deal with the ugly effects for another several years. It might also be impossible due to how gw2 assets are stored.
