@"Valakivi.5716" said:im a bit late, if i buy the supply drop now, do i get past week items?
yes it says right here: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/112646/game-update-notes-august-25-2020
Note: Purchases made after week one will receive the supply drops from the previous weeks. Act early for the best discount and earliest possible delivery of your supply drops.

@crepuscular.9047 said:be glad you GW2 doesnt have the inventory system BDO does, that's what you call a total money grab
though not perfect, GW2 already got the best inventory system integration of any MMO on the market, no need to change anything
if there's anything I want Anet to change, is increase material storage to 5000
yeah gw2's inventory system (with all expansions, giving you 5 bagslots) imo is almost subscription-mmo like if you put like 32 slot bags in each one it's enough space for all the content the game offers (with occasional trips to the storage bank whenever you're down to < 15 item slots left)
now a newbie might see it on a friend's (or a streamer's) screen and find that expensive initially but it may be something they'll want to work for once they buy PoF (which they usually would if they get interested/hooked in the game... and yes there are other things that can hook or turn off people from investing into gw2 besides bag slots)

@Redfeather.6401 said:More skills. Dual profession system.
i would like this myself. so much build diversity which opens up more fun playstyles
but then again i can already see the PvP & WvW people raging and complaining about balance because X+Y combo profession is broken/op/etc, game will die if not, etc. so it probably wont happen, sadly

@misterman.1530 said:Might be a stupid question, but what are the RAM requirements just to run the Steam client?
actual ram usage on linux/ubuntu(gnome), as low as 100mb, average of 200~280mb depending on what you do, up to a high 800~900mb
i imagine windows steam would use the same amount of ram if not just a lil bit higher

@Loke.6310 said:Okay, good to now about Github. Does the same apply to mods at Nexus for example? depends on what's posted on Nexus mods -- that site's purpose purely for gaming modifications and addons and these said mods and addons are most often, already compiled and usually reposted from somewhere else -- you aren't sure what you're getting. not saying it's dangerous but it's also not 100% safe.
github and similar websites are purely for developing software: hosting your source code, sharing your code, developing and publishing for release. people can put up issues/threads about any bugs your software has or suggest edits to your code to improve it. it's an active community. if you're really paranoid and don't trust any open source software you see: review the source code > check for any malicious code > compile it yourself ---- platforms such as Github allow that
and d912pxy is hosted on Github and as @Mack.3045 repeats, is completely safe.
regarding your mouse issues, try lowering dpi and polling rate to the factory/default/safemode values in your mouse software (logitech)

@Khisanth.2948 said:6GB is not an unreasonable requirement if the game itself is going to take 3GB. The OS is going to require a chunk and most people will probably have some other thing running as well, maybe a browser or a voice app. GW2 for me rarely if ever goes above 2.5GB but my current total system memory usage is 11GB. If I only had 6GB GW2 would be running horribly. I have tried playing GW2 with system memory usage maxed out. It slaughters the FPS and the experience is generally poor.
for what it's worth on linux via wine + dxvk: GW2 max settings, low char model limit, on Teq boss fight + a dozen or two firefox tabs + thunderbird (email application) + discord + steam easily sees about 9.5gb to 13gb total system RAM consumption (depending on how many firefox tabs lol) .... but that's a lot of overhead with wine and vulkan driving a poorly optimised windows game on linux. so yeah the 6gb minimum is fine if they would consider people attempting to play the game via SteamPlay/Proton on linux (yeah for the unaware it's a recent thing on the linux gaming world, and 70~80% of all windows games on steam working nicely on linux because of it) regarding the recommended specs: i think a suggested 16gb ram for recommended requirements is more than adequate, the listed 24gb i agree is way too much

@Hesione.9412 said:@Inculpatus cedo.9234 said:New players may not be able to afford 24-slot bags, but they also won't be bogged down with loads of Ascended items, Skins, Siege, etc.The skins can be: put on at the time, some allow you to add to wardrobe, and if either of those two don't apply you can delete them. Often transmutation shards aren't required to reskin (looks at 1400 transmutation charges) and, if transmutation charges are needed, those are handed out like candy.With a bank tab of 30 spaces, and siege stacking to 250, that's a lot of siege. I'm not sure that many players store that much.Ascended items, though, I'm with you there!pure pve players dont get transmutation charges like candy fyi its mainly handed out in spvp and wvw I belive.this. also tomes of knowledge, while your typical pvp and wvw players would be swimming in them, pure pve players (especially new people, those within 1 to 2 weeks of play time) barely have any

we already have this thread btw :)https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/112992/new-expansion-what-features-would-you-like-to-see#latest
@uberkingkong.8041 said:Housing? This is something I would look forward to. I can't customize guild hall, I don't have permission, I'd like to be able to customize something of my own. Housing would be it.A zone dedicated to housing? So that people can see the OUTSIDE part of your house too? This is something I would look forward too.
but yeah this bit regarding housing, while i want housing in gw2 as well, i would like to disagree with dedicated housing zones due to how easily they get filled leaving the rest of the playerbase without a chance to own a house (see games like Archeage or Final Fantasy 14 for Open World and District/Ward-zone type housing). at the very least they can try copying FF14 but make it so there's more than enough wards per server per region --- but ideally they can copy Wildstar's housing, you have your own house in a floating island somewhere (instanced) and you can enter and leave the house without going through a loading screen unlike in FF14, that way everyone can own a house. they dont really have to copy Wildstar's floating instanced housing 1:1 but say they could add it to a section in Cantha, say Kaineng City there's a big gate there, you interact with it and it takes you to your personal plot of land that you have to purchase to unlock / upgrade.

@Loke.6310 said:I know about d912pxy but prefer not to install open source software, if I can avoid it. Fear bugs and viruses :)
now i doubt d912pxy will solve your mouse stuttering issues but i must point out that regarding open source software, you are very wrong. FOSS (free open source software) especially those hosted in github/gitlab are very much safe and in the event that it's accused of even having any trace of malicious code, the whole source code is there for you to review and verify.

@jwhite.7012 said:Also, a new player isn't going to be able to afford a 24 slot bag..
they wont be able to afford it but you can gift them one as a welcoming gift (20 slots) when they join :)
also having all expansions which makes the total free bagslots to 5 is super cheap right now on 50% off sale for what you pay for (i mean you're paying for an expansion so lots of new content, elite specs, etc. aside from the free bagslots) --- compared to buying a bagslot individually in the gemstore
and yeah the 24 slot bags was just an example. 5 x 20 slot bags is decent too and plenty of space

what kind of home network do you have? (if you're playing from home).. if you're not the one who manages your network, and you have some kind of complicated setup going on, like your WAN gateway is managed and routed by a dedicated firewall like PFsense, there may or may not be a chance you may also have an inline VPN running (for privacy browsing purposes) which was setup by whoever does/manages your network. in a setup like this, this is not something that can be disabled in your OS since it's on the firewall side and every client selectively can be routed to the tunnel by the network admin. if all of this seems like something that applies to you, try contacting whoever does your network and ask them about it.
if all of the above doesn't apply to you or you don't know what i was talking about (sorry), one possible thing you can do to avoid the "It appears that you are contacting us through a VPN" is to hook up your phone's LTE either via USB or wifi-sharing and use that connection to send your support ticket.

have you tried logging into the game? does it give any code error?
-
some free to play MMORPGs like -- [insert random korean cash grab mmo] -- even start you with an equivalent of just 1 GW2 bagslot which is far more worse and may or may not even have material storage like GW2 has so meaning you have to fill up your bank storage with those which bloats really quick too
gw2 isnt perfect but the initial 5 bagslots (if you have both expansions, forgot how many slots f2p accounts have) is reasonable and plenty enough space if you put atleast 24slotter bags in each of them (yeah dont even have to go 32's)

@DreamyAbaddon.3265 said:I don't care if the game's text are translated in Japanese. I just want the ability to type Japanese to friends who speak it in game. lol
the game supports some of the kanji in use due to the chinese font support we have (i believe because of the CN GW2 version). surprisingly we also have hanggul support as a font but nowhere do we have a KR GW2 service/region (maybe it's an NCSoft upper management thing they want to be able to type in korean when they play gw2?)
that said not translating but just adding unicode support would be easy to do (i mean compared to translating everything and adding new voice overs). that way all characters even russian and japanese would display and can be typed in properly

@"Aodlop.1907" said:Hello.I just thought of two easy to implement changes that could make the lives of those who enjoy customizing their character so much easier.
1) A "appearance locked" search option in the Black Lion Market, allowing players to only see weapons, armor pieces or dyes they have not unlocked yet.
2) A new item slot: "shirts".This one I 100% stole from WoW, I'll admit. I'll elaborate a bit for those who haven't played WoW and may not see the purpose.In WoW, shirts are an "armor" slot with no stats that does not contribute to your power in any way whatsoever: they're purely aesthetic. They go under your chest armor, and they only have one purpose: to fill up the "bare skin" space that your current torso armor skin may have. For example, if you're a human male in GW2 rocking the Warbeast jerkin, you may be bothered to have some parts of your torso and arms not covered by the armor itself. The shirt would cover that, and you'd be able to dye it whatever color you see fit. Because sometimes, the color of flesh can ruin an otherwise perfectly good outfit.
Thoughts?
basically a "hide: unlocked" setting?
basically underwear but for the chest?
１might easily be implemented i believe but as for ２ it depends on how many layers our armour system has.. if it's only 1 layer and wearing an armour replaces your characters underwear (or whatever they wear when "naked") with the armour then i believe it may require a lot of re-work done to how our armours are worn.

@Obtena.7952 said:@JinxSwe.8914 said:I know this might have been brought up alot of times before.But I love this game. It is my go2 mmo game and has been since it came out. _But what I don't understand is why it's not been optimized at all. 8 Years and nothing has happened on this front.Even with a new cpu the fps tanks down to 12 when ever more players are around. If by your self then it's fine and getting 144 since I have it locked to that.But come on. 8 years and with new expansion coming why not at least move over some of the more taxing things to the gpu?Because optimization is costly and leaves people with older rigs in the dust. Considering this game can't function without appealing to a large group of people and there isn't a monthly fee, it's a hard case to justify optimization.Just a reminder that some games have an option to switch between different dx versions. Like POE which was released year later by (at the time) a indie company. How come small company could keep improving the game, performance and so on yet AAA title is stuck with dx9 in 2020, in fact 2021 (4 months away)?I highly doubt theres anyone who still play gw on 15 yo rig.speaking of PoE, as you said it was released around the same era/time of GW2's (2013 vs 2012) and it started out on directx9 as well just like gw2, but then they eventually found the time to upgrade the rendering to directx11 as years went on.... and most recently this year, just released a beta for Vulkan... it shows they somehow value the player's gaming experience and want to ensure they get the best possible performance and also to make sure the game stays relevant to modern hardware in the years to come. and yeah you can still use dx9 (set it via config files) on PoE it just defaults to dx11 when you install it
optimisation is a means to/of future proofing your game.. no need for a remaster or a new engine. just make sure it runs and takes advantage of modern hardware because as time passes, more and more people will eventually buy newer computers because their old ones stopped working/couldn't take care of it/etc. and had to dispose/donate them - pretty sure no one here has a computer from the late 90s or year 2000/2001/2002 anymore (and if you ever do it's probably not your main machine, something you just keep for legacy purposes or for that one application that wouldn't work in a modern OS, you're not majority)

@Astyrah.4015 said:ff14 had dynamic weather along with a day and night cycle and it affected stuff like gathering/fishing or even be a trigger if certain bosses/fates could spawn.it'll be nice to have in GW2 as well instead of weather being mostly static or meta/event related (for metas and events they can just do a weather override) sometimes it can be tiring to see the same zone and see the same gloomy/cloudy weather ... could use a bit of sunshine there or in areas where it's always sunny (like Grothmar) could use a lil more rain or some light snowfall.. or like it never rains in Lion's Arch or any of the cities for example (heavy snow for Hoelbrak)Yeah, i tried doing the sightseeing thing in FFXIV, and the second one i found required me to wait almost a full in-game day to complete it. That was the end of that. Then some require the right weather? Unbeliveable.If it would be just weather without any of that then we could only hope anet wouldn't recycle that idiocy eventually.i mostly just wanted random weather in maps just for the change in ambience as evident in my reply to the OP ~ sometimes it's sad to see the same area being gloomy and cloudy when the skies could be clear in the midday, could even add some dynamic to the RP scene if ever. FF14 was merely a mention :)

@blackoil.2673 said:Specially in Raids LFG, there's always at least 6 groups posting an ad for selling raids and/or recruiting members in guilds.
well there's a specific section to recruit guild members for:
@blackoil.2673 said:
- Would I be an as**ole if I report those commanders for LFG Abuse?
- Would it be posible to add another LFG category so guilds/sellers can advertise there?
you can try reporting them but i doubt anything would happen, but still you can try :)
raid sellers would post their sales ads in the Raid lfgs for easier visibility to potential customers, however for guilds recruiting members (like say recruiting members for a raid focused guild) they should use the Guild Plaza LFG so you can give that as a reason in your report... but i doubt anything would happen and i guess it's kind of a grey area when they try to recruit in Raid LFG if the purpose of their guild is for raiding for example

@Astyrah.4015 said:@Keitaro.9061 said:Anet... what are you doing?What are your plans on addressing this issue?When are you planning on releasing an actual "FIX" to this issue?they are aware atleast that it's an issue, and released a statement recently about it (after so many months of lagging)The statement they made is complete trash. "The reality is there's no single sweeping change that can fix latency issues for all players, or even most players."This is not a latency issue. That statement pretty much says "there is no real solution for players who have latency issues, but we will look into it."This isnt a player latency issue, it is a server issue, and they seriously need to fix it, otherwise people are going to start leaving.yeah, i'm not satisfied with the way they acknowledged the issue too, the lag is bad (and sometimes borderline unplayable) for me whenever i go to season 4 and icebrood saga maps and it's one reason i haven't bothered farming or doing achievements on these areas and mostly just do the festival stuff/fractals/dailies
but right now there's not much else we can do until they release more information about the issue...

@Sotris.3412 said:i am one step closer, if i put my headphones in i hear the game sounds :P
that's great! if you have audio on your headphones then atleast we can narrow it down to your main/default audio device/soundcard and that it's not the game's fault.
you can try googling around for general trouble shooting for it since it's no longer a game-specific issue, otherwise people here would mostly be repeating the obvious (like: check if your speakers are on or if connected, check if anything's muted, check if your soundcard is set to primary or is not disabled, check if it's being detected by dxdiag, updating drivers, etc. etc.)

might be stating the obvious so do any/check:volume mixer, if gw2 was muted anywheredo dxdiag, see if it detects all your audio devices/sound cardstry plugging a usb headset, other audio device see if they workcheck other games and application, play music or watch videos if they have audio/sound outputif you did a os/windows update recently and haven't restart yet do so see if sound comes back.i doubt it's the issue but try updating your audio drivers if all the above don't work
if you've tried all of that, then try contacting support see if there's any more solutions/suggestions they can provide (or wait for others to reply, since they may have a fix in mind that i haven't thought of)... just keep in mind, it'll be kinda hard for other people online to diagnose and pinpoint your particular issue without actually being in front of your computer :)

@Frostfang.5109 said:
- The ability to chang the guilds name!
this. right now afaik to change a guild's name you have you go through support and they have to check if you're the leader or something.
wish they released a UI option tucked somewhere in the guild menu where, as the highest ranked guild member/leader, you pay in gold or gems (but ideally with gold) to change a guild's name.

@"Sotris.3412" said:Hi,
I still have no sounds in game after i reinstalled and die the -repair :(
Any tips ?
i assume you have audio output in your OS/other applications... have you tried manually selecting your sound card in the ingame options?
