They use a script to redirect you to the login. If the script is blocked (high security settings and tracking protection will do it), the sign in button just refreshes the page. You can ignore the problem by using a direct link: https://guildwars2.zendesk.com/access/jwt Alternatively, email support@arena.net

I usually see 130-170% at the end. I don't do anything special, but I'm usually first to complete, so I might tag a second event per phase, and I always do the tentacles instead of going up top, since nobody else used to do them.

They basically changed HoT to be accessible with PoF, so even original copies of PoF include HoT (what they're selling as PoF+HoT is actually just PoF). The benefit of actually having HoT is the shared inventory slot it came with, which can no longer be obtained.

Weight them. 1 mini dungeon = 3 dailies. Change it from complete X dailies to earn Y astral, with either a hard cap or a reduction on the amount earned beyond the cap. There would be no need for restricting which dailies you could do. They should be using the vault to encourage old content. Every day should have a daily meta/event, bounty, mini dungeon, dungeon and whatever else needs people that doesn't get regular attention.

The skyscale just makes it more obvious what they were always doing - hit the boss once for credit and AFK. Removing the damage would only makes things worse, as now everyone else is doing 0 damage as they fly in. The AFKers are tagging the middle, so they would have full participation. The simplest trick they could do for bosses is base participation on skill usage.

To make this worse, if you would have realized this a few years ago, you could have had your character restored by support.

It uses Steam's overlay. Ensure it's enabled, otherwise this happens.

Aim a fireball while walking into a zone portal to cause a loading screen if you want to sample it. Toggle the action camera to fix it.

Toggle the action camera on and off. This occurs when you lose control while aiming a skyscale fireball, causing the action camera controls to stay on. You're likely to encounter this at the end of the meta in Amnytas when the cutscene plays.

You can see how much astral you have in the wallet. The daily login isn't automatically claimed, the other dailies are, so you'd need all of them for the chest if you didn't get the login. You can only guess however if disabling the vault also disabled this.

It has auto claimed from the start. The exception is the daily login (and specials). If you claim the daily login or do all of the other ones, you'll also get the completion chest, you just won't get the achievement for 10 AP. If they only disabled access to the vault, it should still auto claim.

Rollbacks happen when the server crashes. Expect it to continue until there's a patch.

1103 is you tried to claim an objective that was already claimed. It's easy to trigger by double clicking the objectives, more so if the vault is being rendered at a low frame rate. I always claim them from the bottom up so I don't have to wait for the UI to render.

Your DNS is probably outdated. Open a command prompt (search the start menu for cmd) and enter: ipconfig /flushdns Now try accessing the site (this is launcher's news feed: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/newsfeed/launcher/) If that doesn't work, I'm assuming you can't access www.guildwars2.com. Enter the following commands into a command prompt and compare the addresses returned: nslookup www.guildwars2.com. nslookup www.guildwars2.com. 8.8.8.8 The first is your default DNS, the second is Google. For reference, the IPs are currently 44.216.97.233, 34.194.32.20 for NA and 18.157.239.58,18.192.111.143 for EU. If your default is different, switch DNS providers: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

You can't send mail to players blocking you.

To clarify, it's a combination of using -image to patch and -shareArchive that will prevent it from saving. You only need to launch once per patch without either of those options to have it save (it's stored in Local.dat). If you're running multiple accounts, this problem is even worse. When CefHost.exe is locked prior to launching, GW2 will copy it to gw2cache, then create a new gw2cache and copy it again when clicking play. The second folder isn't actually used, so it'll only contain the copied cef files. You can use this batch command to delete all gw2cache folders: for /d %%i in (%temp%\gw2cache-*) do (rd /S /Q "%%i")

Support wouldn't want to confirm any bans because it's a waste of their time. If you contact them with clear evidence, it's not like they just ban the person, they queue up an investigation. If they were going to do something, they would automate it like other modern games, where anyone who reported X would get a simple message that you were helpful. The reason to do this is to encourage reporting by showing they actually take action. This however inevitably turns into a reward system to encourage reporting and results in fully automated bans.

The gw2cache folder is where GW2 stores its web cache (notably used by the BLTC). It's normally around 70 MB and GW2 will create a new folder after every patch, leaving the old one as it was. When they implemented CEF, they allowed CefHost.exe to be shared, but later changed it to require write-access. If CefHost.exe can't be written to, the cef files are copied to the gw2cache folder. Problem is, they also check if CefHost.exe can be written to after clicking play, while it's already in use by GW2, so it will always be copied to the gw2cache folder, resulting in this extra mess. The %temp% folder isn't normally cleared automatically, so eventually everyone will realize this problem when they run out of space. If you happen to be using -shareArchive, it will prevent GW2 from remembering the location of the gw2cache folder, causing a new one to be created on every launch.

It means GW2 can't download from the patch server (assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com). Either your DNS is outdated or something is blocking it. If you've previously solved this problem by modifying the hosts file, the IP is expired, so you'll need to remove it or find a new IP (65.8.62.23).

It already does that. Dailies and weeklies, except for the daily login, are automatically claimed when they reset, including the completion chests. It won't however trigger the +10 AP daily achievement.

The layoffs were just NCSoft wanting quick gains after their mobile sales crashed. ArenaNet had hired over 100 people leading up to the layoffs, which NCSoft forced them to cut. Josh Foreman had unfortunate timing, as he had wanted a change and went from a senior to an entry position, but kept the higher pay. The head of IBS, who was left in charge after the layoffs, silently quit months later and went to Amazon. Then covid happened, NCSoft's problems were solved, and ArenaNet went back to hiring for side projects shortly after.

Just say you can't login and give them the display name and/or a character name. They need something to be able to find the account. If the account was auto banned before you could use it, you can give them the ID of the Steam account (it's the # in the URL or listed under the account details), which they use as the account name (#@steam). For everyone else: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/8561206943891-How-Do-I-Find-My-Steam-Support-ID-

This daily is to simply dodge 3 times while in combat. You don't actually need to dodge anything.

It's currently a 10 week cycle, and it's not going to reset unless they add more locations, which causes the cycle to shift backwards.
