  1. Noticed that just now and came here to check if that has already been reported. This was basically the first thing I noticed after starting the game, as I can never have enough storage and the bundle was the first thing I checked out.
  2. I have never seen any such offer and I just checked and no such offer exists. Also keep in mind that Kinguin is not a store, but a storefront like Ebay or Aliexpress. There is only one single seller of GW2 gold on Kinguin by the name of x (I won't write it here) and they only sell gold, no game keys. Vice versa, the other sellers who sell game keys do not offer any gold, so I have no idea where you took your info from. The only likely explanation I can think of is that you saw a "you might also be interested in" offer and mistook that for a "bundle". And while I absolutely agree that everyone should stay away from RMT and not buy gold, assuming that keys sold on kinguin are from stolen accounts is far fetched. If you "steal" an account you have account login data and not a game key to redeem. PS: About the original question: This code will not work on steam. And there is no benefit from buying the steam version either to you or to ArenaNet. The one profiting is steam by getting a 30% cut for doing basically nothing. You not only screw yourself over by not being able to use any key you might win in a giveaway on twitch or something like that, you also deprive ArenaNet of 30% of your spent money. In my opinion if you like the game enough to buy it, you should like it enough to buy it in a way that lets the developer get the full amount.
  3. There are countless topics on this for a decade but many people still do not know the actual ruling. And no, going afk anywhere is not against the rules as long as you are actually afk and did NOT automate your character to perform any action, including setting up any skill as autocast like many of those afk farmers do, for example necro greatsword skill 4. AFK doing nothing = always ok. However if your character takes any action while you are AFK, that is where it can enter the forbidden area depending on the other circumstances. Quoting a post by Chris Cleary, Game Security Lead in 2016:
  4. Never saw this before. The account already has all episodes of living world season 4 unlocked, but the store offers to sell the season pack at a 89% discount with all episodes except for episode 1 removed from the pack. Normally the season pack should not be visible at all for an account that already has every episode of that season unlocked. Image of the offer
  5. For about roughly a year or so (the only thing I remember is that it started happening directly after a patch) my launcher behaves the following way: I start the launcher, enter my username/password if they are not already there, then press "Log in" button. In about 95% of cases I then get the red error box saying the game lost connection to the server, in 5% cases the game starts normally. Now, in those 95% of cases that I get the error box (Error Code: 7:1000:7006:468) the SECOND attempt to login is 100% successful. So for about a year or more now, whenever I log into the game, I have to enter my data twice because the first login almost always fails and the second always works. Even when both boxes to remember the data are ticked, I can NOT simply press the button again because although the checkbox for remembering the password is ticked, it will not remember it because the login didn't work. Does anyone have any experience with this weird error or know details about Error Code: 7:1000:7006:468? I googled it and there was only one result claiming it is about wrong time/date setting, which is not the case as a) it is set correctly b) if that was the error then the second attempt would not work either.
  6. Same here, the addition to the gemstore that was mentioned in the patch notes does not seem to have gone through.
  7. It is entirely possible to get silver with a rented beetle without any mastery and even completely without drifting - which is exactly what I did in the first year when I simply did not understand yet how to drift AND did not have the beetle unlocked. Probably took like 1-2 hours practice to figure out where to use the boost and what wall to slam into instead of drifting. And I actually did make a video back then just to prove someone wrong who claimed it would not be possible without drift 🙂 It's here. And to answer the original question from the headline: Oh yes, I had fun with the beetle from hour zero, no matter where. I did not get gold with my rented "noobeetle" but I didn't have to. It was easy enough the second year when I had my real one and knew how drifting works.
  8. The discount was announced for two days and lasted only one. I am also affected by this, as I specifically bought a gemcard for a friend because of the discount so that she would have enough gems to buy living stories season 2-4. When she came home today and logged in, the discount was gone after only one day. I think this is definitely something the people should have the right to complain about and I hope they notice that they made a mistake and the discount lasted only half the time it was supposed to, so that they relaunch it tomorrow along with the other discount that had a problem (the template expansion that didn't go live). Edit: Update was just posted, the discount will be repeated because it ended early
  9. She isn't on steam, she started the game because of me and I made sure she has a proper account and not a steam account 🙂
  10. Yes about the same here. I bought a gemcard for a friend who just started the game and has HoT and PoF. because of the discount I wanted to gift her the Living World seasons 2-4 this way and told her she would only need my 2000 gems plus an additional 240 gems...when she came online 2 hours ago she told me all the seasons are only there for full price 😕
  11. What about the living world seasons, they were supposed to be discounted sunday and monday but they are not. I hear they WERE discounted at some time (?) but it seems only on sunday? Or they ended too soon?
  12. I kind agree with the general idea - of making competitive jumping activities available outside of festivals. People who like to PvP can do that every day, same for those playing WvW, raids, fractals, strike missions, open world PvE. But those who like competitive jumping/racing can't. When you love beetle races you technically can do time trials daily - on your own. The competitive races on a timer give no reward at all, why? And competitive jumping is only available in festivals, again, why? There might be the concern that when something is offered all year, it may lose its appeal. But other content is not limited to just some weeks per year and there are people doing it every day. I would welcome giving rewards for racing and adding some competitive jumping activity that is available during non-festival time.
  13. With great solutions come great prices, that's the saying that was told to Spiderman, right? ^^ Also there are not a great amount of wireless chargeable mice and none of them compare with the sidebuttons of mine 😑 Looks like most ads I saw for those charging pads target phone/earbud charging, not mouse charging.
  14. I highly recommend the Zelotes C-12 that I listed as being attached to many of the machines in my earlier post. It is the only one of its kind that I know of. It does not plaster the whole left side of the mouse with buttons like the others do, but arrange 6 buttons in an oval around where you hold the mouse with your thumb (at least I hold it that way). This way you can hold the mouse firmly without constantly accidentally press on of the 10 or 12 buttons on the side, but still have 6 convenienty located programmable buttons for your thumb to reach. When you only have 6 buttons arranged in an oval, it is also much easier to press the correct one than on a wall of 12 ones. I bound them to the 6 different mounts I most often use. Previously I had all the mounts bound, but now I miss one, kitten you Skyscale, lol. PS: Also it is wired. I hate wireless mice and depleted batteries ^^
  15. Noticed the same thing, and agree it is inconvenient. I get WvW dailies shown even on an alt account where the highest character that I am currently leveling is 23 (and cannot enter WvW yet) 🙂
