Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Deleted]

So are we going to have to worry about our accounts being hacked? I've used an authenticator on 3 other mmos(wow, rift, swtor), and I don't really mind entering numbers to log in. And since we will be adding our credit card info directly into the game to purchase gems, I was just curious how secure our info will be.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but I've looked at most of these forums and couldn't find anything about this.

I'm going to be honest here, you should always worry a bit about your accounts being hacked.
We don't know anything about authenticators at the moment, so no one can really give you a very straight answer, however information should be secured with Anet.

Ok thank you for the quick reply. So excited about the BWE and game launch!!!

I kinda agree and disagree on this, if you take the right precautions you will never ever be hacked at all, and with an authenticator people still get hacked on the games that have it.

Security has a lot to do with what you yourself does to stop it.
My ex brother in law did not understand how he could get hacked, but he was paying some chinese dude to level his character...

I guess it always can happen, that your account get hacket or something - wether you use services like leveling or buying gold or not
My account once got hacket, even I don't use them though~

sometimes it's like getting robbed I guess XD
you're just at the wrong playe at the wrong time ^^

Hmm.. Today I got my 5th birthday present in Guild Wars 1 on one of my characters, and it got me thinking - Will we get rewards every 12 months for our characters like we did in GW1, in GW2 aswell? Have there been any word about that?

I believe they said in a video interview at one point that yes, we'll get birthday presents...but Mif will need to find that source

[Salech]

so far i don't think they've said anything about birthday presents besides that it will make a return in GW2.

I could be remembering wrongly though.

Heh , yesterday I got mini Krait from 4th birthday present. In 2 months there should be 4th present on my pre-ascalon alt Already got Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh from last year. The only gold pet from present and t is in pre-ascalon :P. I remember making money on minipets <3 Hope there will be presents in gw2 too.

Haha, in the Asura opening cinematic the Asura shouts "Reciprocity!".

That made me laugh harder than "Machiavellian!". Perhaps it is a subtle call back to Portal 2. I approve.

Uhhh look at this.

Trading Post
Dyes are now tradable in the Black Lion Trading Post.

[Valeron]

Heh, get ready for the black and white dye price hikes.

[Delias]

Heh, get ready for the black and white dye price hikes.

I'm actually pretty happy about dyes being tradable. No point having a rare dye if it's one you know you'll never use. =P

Oh I agree. Just commenting that just like in GW1, the black and white dyes will be the hot commodity.

[Kelesti]

Heh, get ready for the black and white dye price hikes.

I liked white on certain things, was never a fan of "omg all black look super cool".

I usually ran with whatever color my Divine Aura (Prophecies CE) was for the character, thus a Ritualist in full teal, etc. Looked much better (usually spent more money trying to color blend anyways) than just plain old black.

My favorite armor was my Dervish Primeval that was dyed all black.

[Deleted]

I want black and red But as a charr, the default dark grey and red look fine so heh. Not that bothered.

[Delias]

This.
Well, that was my favorite DERVISH armor. My favorite armor overall would be the Norn armor for rangers in full white on a male.

All items for sale must be posted for a unit price that is above the vendor value of the item (if the item has a vendor value).

Damn. I made so much money in the last 2 BWEs flipping stuff from the trading post to vendors. At one point I made 10 gold in an hour.

Also, this:

1800 gems to transfer to a high population world
1000 gems to transfer to a medium population world
500 gems to transfer to a low population world

is quite clever

[Deleted]

That is very clever indeed!
It'll be interesting to see how it pans out.
