More then willing to say, but I won't say it publicly, only via message, since it's potentially very broken interaction nobody has ever thought about.

I mean, if you wanna message me that's fine.  Unless you are talking about for anet in general to fix an exploit?

I'm confused about the purpose of this thread tbh.

[Why does WvW have the worst reward structure?]

@"Obtena.7952" said:Anet gives WvW the best rewards structurePVE players start playing WvW"REAL" WvW players complain they can't get in their servers because of 'loot camping' PVE players

Be careful what you wish for. How soon people forget how WvW was overrun when Warclaw came out.

And that is precisely the point. Well said.

That week got over 15k kills. Bring more of that please.

[[REQUEST] Can we get known Gaming VPNs (Exitlag, Nord, WTFast...) Whitelisted from Security Checks?]

So not only are people getting their account locked from using GeForce Now. People using VPNs such as Exitlag, NordVPN, or WTFast are also having their accounts locked.

A friend of mine that just got their account unlocked for using Exitlag, not even a few hours later tried to login to the game to be greeted with the same lock message again.

I get that some people out there are using Proxies or VPN when running hacks, but punishing everyone else for it is not the way.

Most of the Oceanic population that plays on NA servers has to run a VPN to get better ping result and better response on skill lag. By locking any account logging into a VPN is giving the impression you don't want your international players to play this game.

[Exitlag and other VPN]

@Astyrah.4015 said:

@"Vegeta.2563" said:Seeing a lot of Locked account posts spring up recently due to people just using a VPN to lower their ping from being in other countries.

One of the most popular ones is Exitlag. Most of the OCX players I know use it. A VPN is basically a necessity at this point for any OCX player to enjoy this game properly. Whatever security checks are in place need to be looked at. I'm sure support is already sick of getting these tickets and their time could be better utilized with more serious matters.

the error 3023 (account blocked due to getting caught in security sweep) is really a random thing as long as you made your account (and bought your expansions) from your country --> then logging in from another country or another IP address can trigger it.

my suggestion is to not try switching servers/nodes often and just stick to one that works and has the best ping for you in your VPN but even then you still risk getting "soft-banned" and having to contact support to unlock it -- i use a paid VPN that isnt made for gaming but more for privacy (Mullvad) used only 1 location/node and i still got hit by the block back in 2019.

ever since then i just used my actual IP just to play gw2, everything else i do goes through the VPN

The problem is routing from Australia is a hit or miss. Sometimes Ashburne1 has better connection than 2 or 3, and sometimes it doesn't. However accounts with 2FA attached to the them have to allow the use of those IPs to access. Normally locking accounts cuz an unwanted IP address got into the account would be perfectly fine, but the fact that accounts with 2FA are getting locked is a poor design in place.

[NVidia GeForce Now]

@ASP.8093 said:I used it last summer. They blocked my account for it and then unlocked it when I filed a support ticket. (Turnaround time: less than a day.)

This is annoying but I estimate the risk of any lasting impact to your account is very low.

Did you have to file with anon ticket or were you able to login to the website and do it that way?

Friend of mine just had their account locked because of use with Exitlag (at least it's 90% looking cuz of this). They had the lock on their alt account, so they tried to login to the site and got account locked for security purposes, so they filed the ticket on their main account and they locked their main account too LOL

[Lunar New Year Today]

@"Fire Attunement.9835" said:Sorry about this, everyone. :( We're working on it as fast as we can.

To be fair, I don't think it was expected today anyway unless I missed an earlier communication. Tech difficulties happen so don't worry about it

I had checked this URL ( https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/february-02-2021/ ) about 4 hours ago and the page said could not be found.. sometimes before a release they create the page, but there was nothing there up until a few mins before the notes.

Last year they at least put a message on twitter.

[Disappearing backpack bug is back (new map only)]

This is still an issue. One example would be riding on your mount in WvW, and when you dismount your backpack disappears. After that if you glide your backpack reappears. It might be related to the show / hide weapons, but not 100% sure on that.

And an option to convert an aura infusion into Legendary, but still keep its aura, however account binding it.

[[BUG?] No search option on legendary rune on non legendary gear.]

So I put a legendary rune on my ascended aquabreather, but when you go to change the rune type, you can't search for the one you want and have to manually scroll through and look for it.

[[BUG] Cannot equip Legendary Sigils]

@Shroud.2307 said:

@"Ashantara.8731" said:You can right-click each weapon and select "Customize", then pick the Sigil from either the Equipment Storage or from your inventory (the former is preferable as you might save some Sigils that way).

Weird... That worked, so problem solved. But I never had to do this before, so I'd still consider it a bug. I can double click the Sigils and apply them to two handed weapons, but not one handed.Right clicking then doing "Customize", as you've said, does work though.

Thank you.

Afaik, at least for legendary sigils it has always been like this. For exotic grade sigils you can drop on top of them though. Maybe you are thinking of that?

[[BUG] Legendary Runes Stat Swapping Crashing the Game]

Yep it sure is.. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/120416/bug-game-crashes-when-trying-to-change-legendary-runes

Thanks for doing a video on it.It doesn't crash if you change each rune 1 by 1 though.

[Net: ERR_ABORTED in TP, Gems...]

I had to help someone with this exact problem, for them it turned out their https certificate wasn't installed so when they visited https://tradingpost-dfw-live.ncplatform.net/humans.txt When you check Inspect mode and go to Security tab .. if it doesn't say "Certificate - trusted and valid"

This is the issue. They too were on Windows 7.. you will need to install the official certificate from https://certs.godaddy.com/repository/gdroot-g2.crt

[[Bug] Game crashes when trying to change Legendary Runes]

@ArcanistSeven.8720 said:Same thing i tried removing them and adding them back but now i cant add them back on

You have to do them 1 by 1, you can't use the checkbox to change all at once. This is where the crash occurs.

When I try to change my legendary runes and use checkbox to apply to all legendary runes equipped, my game crashes immediately.

Yep, and they patched it 30 mins after my comment.. so my comment was still valid being it wasn't yet released.

Make sure you aren't using the skyscale gathering tools.. bug that crashes the game.

[Ping issues in WvW (2nd try to upload images)]

@Kurowolfe.7396 said:Ah sorry for late reply. I use Exitlag, they had a ping chart among other things to track performance. Between all the VPNs I tried, including brand names like NordVPN and ExpressVPN, Exitlag's the best in performance. It's only for gaming though, but it does reduce my average ping from 500-800 to my baseline of 300

Try exitlag's different choices for server. Sometimes it can make a difference.

[Getting Network errors when trying to do anything with inventory.]

Different things that have triggered a network error for me, but not consistently.

1. Right click item > sell on trading post > click list / sell button > bam, network error.
2. Right click salvage kit > Choose Salvage type > Click Accept > bam, network error.
3. Press F12 > Click Character Select > bam, network error (even though I was going back to character select anyway??)

To put this clearly, this is not an internet problem because I can immediately go back into the same character, and it always happens when dealing with the inventory.
