There are ways to seriously just jump into most structures. And no, they are not outside of anets ability to fix them, most exist because of simple shapes that could be changed in no time, the others can be fixed by just extending the gates up to close off the gap at the top, matter of fact a few towers have invisible gate extensions that prevent jumping in, OR the little lamp posts that are next to most gates? Remove them or make it so that they have no mesh/collision and are just a 3D model like many plants or bushes you can just pass through, yes, 80% of these issues are THAT simple to fix. These have been reported by myself and many others (with videos that show how its done), so they 100% have known about these for many, MANY years. An anet employee got in trouble some time back because someone recorded them with the anet guild tag up using one of these issues to get into NWT and the community got mad about it, otherwise anet didn't care. And the overall response from the devs has been that they don't care or its not a priority to fix. They could give me the tools and I could teach myself how to edit the structures and fix all these issues faster than anet, because these have existed since BETA! Lots of them were exposed even more when warclaw was released because anyone could then jump inside structures and not just DD's, so guess what? Those "simply not fixable by anet" issues were patched in a few days, imagine that...People seem to think that some program or hack is used for this, but it's not, you can just JUMP IN.

There is also no "hacking" option either, and while I agree these should be added, there is NO reason for there not to be options and a text box for details or adding a YT link etc....But with that said, anet has stated things like this, including hacking should be reported under "botting".

The support email is the best suggestion here for account recovery. However some suggestions going forward....Don't use Google or other 2FA programs that don't allow you to export your Tokens. I would suggest something like https://authy.com It's available on Android and iOS, allows backup of tokens and exports them encrypted, can be setup and used on multiple devices as well. That way even if you lose your phone, you just import the backup file into Authy on your new device and all your tokens will be restored allowing you to log into your accounts.

I have thrown 3 many times, supply cost is 10 for the Target painter and only 5 supply for the target painter TRAP, however using the normal throwable target painter and 25 supply I threw two and on the second got a supply return of 6 which gave me 11 supply for a 3rd painter. I have also had returns of 1 and 4 etc etc that resulted in me having enough supply for another painter or trap. I also don't know of any available cheat that allows supply manipulation. My assumption if they WERE actually cheating they were probably using a teleport hack and instantly porting to a supply hut, grabbing supply and instantly porting back, many of these programs can even save port locations and be set to a hot key, though "port to mouse location" is far more common, in any case, it would only take a second or two to port there and back.

Think about the implications of doing this. Yes, in your situation it doesn't mean much, but for combat as a whole, being able to mount while in combat would trivialize it. Oh, I am about to die, let me mount for another HP bar, massive dodges and kiting ability etc etc. Add in that mounts have a number of attacks and CC on top of the disengaging and kiting ability, so now my toon can dish out even more DPS and CC on very short CD etc etc. This would change the way the whole game is played and I think you are trivializing it because you feel inconvenienced and are not thinking about the after effects of this single change.

I would suggest getting a different backpack and upping the size to 14" as my suggestion would be the EVO14-S from Origin, while it's a 14" frame, it's only 2.4lbs or 1.1kg . As weight and not dimensions are whats going to get to you if you have to carry it around all day. https://www.originpc.com/gaming/laptops/evo14-s/

Funny thing is JI can port without LoS in some areas, but blink and showdowstep can port clear up cliffs etc that JI can't port to even with clear LoS, lots of places where one port will work and another wont, when there is no reason for it to not work... Or places where it will work if you stand in the right 2x2 pixel area. I tested this some time back with two people I know who play mes and thief, they would port and not move and I would be using JI or sword #2 to try the same port, some areas work fine, others wont work at all. The inconsistency without explaining or having clear defined reasons for this makes me think many if not most of these areas are just bugs. Some are just open/clear ground areas...Or the cliff to the south of SWC, or areas where a wall or gate goes down etc etc. There are also other things that can be done with instant cast setting and I forget the name, but the setting for locking ground target skills to current target, doesn't work everywhere, but you can do all sorts of things that should not be allowed wih LoS skills, so, so many bugs everywhere.

Class utility/trait traps yes, but not "traps and tricks" which is a type of personal deployable "siege" if you will. They cost gold, badges AND cost supply to build. These should absolutely not despawn when swapping templates as they have no link or relation to a build or class utility skills. They should also persist for a set time if you leave the map, at least 15-30mins so you can respond to call outs, scout and DCing is a thing. You should also be able to place at least 2 of each type so long as they are not within a very short range of another of your own traps of the same type. This is 100% a bug, it was not this way before and was never mentioned in any of the notes, traps were not used often and it's something else anet forgot about, changed something else and broke it and now they just don't care.

What is your current setup? Such as CPU, motherboard, PSU, case etc etc? Quadro 600 is an workstation card not meant for gaming but GPU offloading by specific programs such as CAD/DCC/CUDA and basic desktop GUIs. As such, is this a workstation/prebuilt? If so chances are the PSU might not be able to power a higher end GPU, which would mean buying a new PSU as well. Being that the 600 is not meant for gaming, just a new CPU with an iGPU would be WAY better, matter of fact the 730 iGPU in Intel CPUs is over 70% faster than the 600 you have.

What I got out of this was: " They want to fix everything with alliances and are not working on anything else and in the meantime we have to deal with some servers being linked with other servers while some servers don't get a link. What they need to do is remove linking, as some servers can never match other servers size/coverage. You need to show you are doing something and stop the blobs. Devs need to remove server pairing at least until alliances"

Indeed. 100% this^^ Can we please, PLEASE get a full balance pass, and bug fix for all of WvW before we start talking about slapping more "new shiny" stuff on top of things that have been broken for years?

You are correct, condis do indeed get removed when you go down (been this way forever), the player that goes down also gets Invulnerable frames, in effect what these two things do is stop what should be a fair kill. The free condi clear if removed from the game would make DS far less of an issue, I also don't see why you should get a free clear anyway, and the Invulnerable frames have the same effect on power builds, as it absorbs the remainder of the burst. If this is to remain, then condi/aoe/fields etc from the player that you downed should stop ticking and be cleared on you as well. Remove these two things, the free clear and the Invulnerable frames, balance out the DS skills, as stated already, some DS abilities are absolutely broken, while others are more or less useless. I think these 3 things would solve the issues for the most part while leaving DS and it's core functions more or less the same.

I think his point was why not use video editing software? You have the raw video saved and you are uploading to YT for hosting, why not just cut/splice the video on the computer and upload it in full glory? There are TONS of free open source video editors out there that can be used for this.

I wouldn't blame it, I saw a blade of grass obstruct it from entering.

Scepter autoattacks: *has entered the chat*

Yes, it has been like this for some time. It's most noticeable in WvW for me when some skill lag is going on, if you push GS #2 it often wont cast, and so you press it again and it will cast, but because of the lag and delay the second push causes the skill to cancel for some reason. I have also had times where I know skill lag has been taking place so I will push #2 and will be 100% sure not to press it twice or another skill and will still get canceled mid cast. It also happens on empty maps as well with no skill lag, just far less often, still 100% annoying however.

I have seen this happen many times when at spawn, guards will aggro while I am standing there indicating for a split second an enemy being ported to the wrong area for some reason, more than once I was even able to see a rangers pet spawn and remain for a second before being ported away.

Population of the game would die, as new players would have no idea what is happening, get frustrated and leave. Established players would sink their liquid gold into mats for protection (think stocks and assets IRL) and would cause the trading market outside of the TP to explode but would disproportionately impact (negatively) the average player in a barter/trade market while bolstering the super rich who already hold most of their value in items/mats as those items would see increase in value as they replaced Gold as the main currency. Pretty sure you are trolling, but then again, I have seen some really bad ideas seriously pushed on here before.

I don't think so either, however the main bot developer has stated that they no longer plan on supporting GW2 and will be shutting down the bot service they provide for GW2 so they can focus on other games. I think it's still going to be supported for another 2-3 weeks from posts made by the Dev. Now, other people might fill that gap once they shut it down, but I hope not and we see the end of botting. The down side however for many will be longer queue times and being matched with much higher ranked players. With that said, EoD coming and a population influx from it, I would hope anet would capitalize on this timing and make PvP attractive to players again. If not, they are not going to hold onto the new players coming in from EoD and in short order be back to where it is now.

From what I read if you didn't pick by the 2nd you were just going to be matched with a randomized "alliance" until the end of the beta. The beta ends on the 10th according to their post on it here: "You must make your guild selection by 11:59pm Pacific (UTC-8) on December 2 or you may be matchmade as an individual for the beta event (i.e. not with your guild)." Seeing as this is bulk matchings probably done by some auto sorting protocol, there is nothing you can probably do and will just have to wait till the end of the beta in a few days.

Cheating/hacking is not bullying, conflating the two does no one any good and causes people to roll their eyes and not care about the actual wrong doing of cheating. Cheating/hacking can be used when someone is bullying another, but that does not make cheating bullying. This comes from someone who has been banned here for posting video of a well known hacker using cheats to "bully" me in that they followed me around for days using teleport hacks to kill me. Anet never took action other than to ban me for posting video of them cheating here on the forums. However, even with this horrible customer service, that does not make cheating bullying, they are not the same thing even though cheating can be used when bullying.

Ehh, not to sure nothing can be done, I am assuming like most other bugs, no real effort has been put in to fix them due to lack of public outrage. I don't know why it happens, it might have to do with the player lagging etc, but i don't think so. Happens the most when the pet is dead before the ranger gets killed, what I would really like to know is if the ranger has their pet right away when they WP or if it takes a second to spawn for them as well, or maybe the person takes a long time to fully load in and the pet is reviving when they are in the load screen but for some reason remains where it died because the ranger has not "actually" spawned yet, kinda how you see someone in a party window who is dead has a full HP bar as soon as they WP, but might take a second to actually show back at spawn. I am thinking this has something to do with it and the pet is reviving with no where to go while the ranger is in the loading screen and is reviving where it last was and then ports away as soon as the ranger is out of the loading screen. This is all assumptions, however if it was unfixable they should just state so and what mitigations that can be done to minimize it.

Happens all the time to me, even when the ranger is alive the dead pet often triggers things, and when the ranger is dead and the pet is dead as well, I have had the ranger WP and the dead pet insta revive and not WP with the ranger and start attacking me when I was still dealing with another player, very fun to get a random CC from a pet belonging to a ranger all the way back at their spawn. Or dead pets still reviving the ranger, very fun as well because it's dead, so you can't kill it or CC it, been like this for years.

Using a VPN is fine, however if you use a VPN that changes IPs often, the automated security system will often see this as a possible hacked account due to logins from many IPs/locations in a short window and auto lock the account. Best thing to do is use a single VPN server/location to keep the same IP and go into your account settings and list it as a "Authorized Network" so the system doesn't auto lock your account.

DS HP should not be double your normal HP, cut it in half, remove the invulnerability frames like you said as well. That would probably be enough to tame a big portion of DS without increasing revive speeds.
