Why would you want remote access to the mystic forge? If it was remote access to the TP, where you could pick up items and gold, then I'd be on it like white on rice, but I don't see the big deal for the mystic forge.

----

Did a ton of WvW yesterday, going from 12k karma to 40k. If you get in a good group that does nothing but takes supply camps, you get around 550 karma a capture (2 Dolyak supply beasts 85*2+384 for the point).

One thing I don't get though... I constantly see an enemy player running around nearby, and then they just disappear *poof*. I know certain classes like Thief/Mesmer can do that, but they are just gone entirely (ie not showing up again in the same area in a few seconds). Are people somehow binding 'teleport to their castle WP' and using it to escape death?

I have no real use for it, I just want one I've been super frugal with my gold, only using it to gear myself and such and this seemed like a fun way of playing around with what was left of my money

And some people Mystic Forge all the drops they dont want to salvage, personally I salvage everything from Orr so it's pretty much useless to me but I still think it's a fun vanity item to own. I also own 2 of them so if they discontinued I'll probably be able to sell it as a collector's item down the line

I REALLY want a permanent Ember potion ;~; Probably gonna train my warrior like crazy, get him geared in rares and then just farm like mad so I can gamble some more

Are you handling this entire affair over email or a mix of email and online-chat?

If you haven't done online-chat, I would recommend it if their hours work for yours because they typically fix the problem right then and there.

I don't even see an online chat thing.

I've been doing it through their support site (my stuff)

I found it, i think, but it says this:

Guild Wars 2 Live Chat

Chat is offered for payment and billing issues during limited hours.


My problem isn't a payment or billing issue.

This is getting fucking ridiculous now...
so they restored my account again and reset the password. I logged in to my account and changed my password to something else, long and hard to break.

I log into the game and play for a little bit, like 20-30 minutes and all of a sudden I get kicked out of the game for "inappropriate behavior" and I can;t log back in because my account is now blocked AGAIN.


wtf? I wasn't even doing anything - just playing the game normally.

I assume this is repercussions from my account being "hacked" earlier and people reporting me for gold selling spam. I bet there are multiple reports against my account for that and I bet every fucking time I get my account locked again it's because they are following up on those reports and keeps getting my account locked.

I told them to fix this once and for all or I want a refund. I asked them to allow me to change my character name. I think this will fix the problem (I hope).

This is such fucking bullshit. Never had this much problem with a fucking game before.

Weekend Personal Update:

Level 76 Elementalist.
299 Artifacer
310 Jewelmaker
67 Tailor
140 Cook

I will say I actually enjoyed the Explore AC run did with the guild saturday night. It wasn't all that bad. Sure I did die enough times, but when those stupid lizards pounce me and keep me stunned untill dead, it happens.

Now I need mass amounts of Mithril ore, oh joy.

I havent gone past a 60-70 zone yet >.> I have been trying to. Last night was running through a 60-70 zone to get to a 70-75 zone to start mining mithril and viola, I kept running into hearts and events and it was the ole "ADD" mindset.

/Running through zone to next.
"OOOO an event, pretty"
/do event
/running again
"Oh a heart in that direction, I may as well finish it."
/Finish heart
/Start running again
"Oh another event, and I can tell it will chain. Yay!"
/do event #1
/do event #2
/do event #3
/look at map to see how far I am across the map.
/realize I made a circle back to the start of the zone I entered.

 

[Anubis]

can someone toss me out another invite to the AT guild, i got one when the game launched but it never let me accept it, figure i can sit in a few and represent you dudes to do stuff when some other people i play with arent around

got my war to 65, would prob be 70 if my ISP didnt have down this weekend

are there guides out there for leveling profs? im doing alright with the spmithing ones but cooking and jewelmaker are kicking my ass, i have 3 toons at lvl20 or higher but i have like zero low level mats for cooking and JC. and cant get them up for crap, wanted to avoid using the trading posts for everything. think my cooking is stuck below 25 still

lol this sounds like me, i was like 75% into a zone when it dawned on me the EXP i was getting was crap, apperently i sidetracked myself into finishing a 20-30 zone on my way to something else

Yea. This is actually one of the reasons I really like GW2. I find myself not looking at the map every 5-10 minutes like I have previously to make sure I know where I am going. Sometimes I just run randomly following the metal veins, the trees and plants to gather along with events and hearts.

And after I feel like I have done enough and should get back on track I open the map to realize I basically made a few figure 8s, and circles and such on the map without realizing it.

I'm still stuck on a class again - I enjoy my Guardian until I go to WvWvW. I really suck in skirmishes and even in keep sieges - mostly because my ranged damage sucks balls.

This leaves me with a few choices:
Thief - Limited to 900 range with shortbow, but has some viable AE options here. Good single target damage in melee.
Ranger - Out for me, I really dislike pets - and I can't go into combat without a pet, or I'd only use it for PvE.
Necro - I like the idea, but it'd mostly be a condition build with wells and marks.
Elementalist - Staff ele in WvWvW could be fun.
Warrior - A given, but there's so many warriors already.

Wish I could help you, I am not the best crafter going on.

I can say tailoring sucks as it is the only profession (besides leatherworking) in which you cannot just gather the maps as you quest, you must get it killing things.

Jewelcrafting hasn't been bad, actually has been the easiest so far for me.

The only thing I hate on the crafting is how many rare blue mats you must use. tier 4/5 requries about 8 per recipe. Finding 8 takes about 10-15 minutes killing things, or costs close to 10-12 silver on the AH.

Cooking, I had to use a guide because it is so hard to guess what you can discover with it.

Artifacing has been average. Usually behind on the blue rare mats I need.

For WvWvW ele I run scepter / dagger.

Mostly because of the control I have and single target damage I have.

In a large group vs large group mentality I use lightning and charge in with #4 and then flip out with #5 knocking a lot of people down. Kinda like being a bowling ball. Add in fire aoe, and earth power. I find ity fun.

Guardians are an iffy class. They are good at surviving WvWvW.... damn trying to kill them. And in PvE are a good class, they are just I think more difficult to use at their full potential unlike warriors.

I am still working out a 2nd class I want to focus on.

Warrior, Guardian, Mesmer, Necro, or theif.

holy crap this is absurd. I think your assumptions are correct regarding the constant booting. It baffles me that they can't put a simple tag on your account to ignore the complaints after it has been restored to you. I assume it is all automated prior to "investigation," but it should be easy enough to lock out the complaints.

I have tailoring and artificing at 400, and got Jewelcraft up to 387 last night in one sitting. There are some guides, but the cooking ones are mostly out of date (when you could buy ingredients from karma vendors), and I found I really didn't need a JC one.

For mats, JC is actually quite easy. I had a ton, but was short on copper because I sold most of it. I ran Caledon Forest and Metrica (1-15) and just mined every single copper vein I saw (and nabbed any cooking ingredients along the way to level cooking later). As you level, make sure to gather all that you can, even wood if you don't need it, because you might need it later and you can get things like bags from the trees with rare mats in them.

After I got over the copper hump, it was smooth sailing (but I did use a crafting booster which absolutely rocks). Took around 150 ore of each type to get over the next hump (and gems of course).

Mini JC Guide:

1. Refine ore
2. Build one setting and one hoop (earring-cheapest)
3. Go into discovery and see how many gems will combine with #2
4. Craft enough settings/hoops to discover all from #3 and discover
4a. If not able to craft filligree now, make bands/settings and repeat the above process, or even chain/setttings
5. Once filligree is available, make one and see how many gems will combine in discovery, and do the same process as #4
6. Build one setting and one hoop
7. Go into discovery and see how many of the items from #5 will combine with the setting/hoop, and do the same process as #4
8. If not at the next refinement yet, use #4a (filligree+gem/setting/band or chain)

Same process for every step in levelling JC; by far the easiest crafting I've done yet.

 

[aigomorla]

the reason why i am guessing is, when your account got hacked, someone spam'd a gold buy thread on it.

And there got you ban'd.

This is why i hate gold farmers.
Most of them are using stolen accounts to spam.

Well, business starting off shady means business ending shady, which is why i will never use a gold spamer for gold.

 

[Fallen Kell]

Had some fun last night doing 2 AC runs. What was great was that the "first" run was supposedly the easiest, but we all got the crap beat out of us (I was one more down from have equipment start breaking).
