Is for questions that I don't have answers to for any number of reasons (mostly because they are sooooo out of date and potentially irrelevant because of that). If you feel that your topic has been unfairly moved here, you are free to reopen it on my main talk page and see if it survives another go-a-round.

Conclusion to Halloween quest line?

Hi Linsey, nice to see your page unlocked again and thank you for all the Halloween fun. Now according to Regina, the 5th (and final?) Halloween quest could not make the cut during the time of the holiday because of bugs? Will Halloween stay up until this 5th quest is resolved? Or will it be resolved outside this 5th quest, or perhaps during another holiday (Wintersday?) Thanks for your response Linsey, and thanks again for the joyous Halloween this year :D --Malchior Devenholm 23:09, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

And why do you keep bashing my bubbles!? First, I thought the halloween quests would be available until Monday night at midnight, not Sunday night--why go to the effort of saying Nov. 2 at 12:01 am (Really? the first minute of the day?) instead of Nov. 1 at midnight. Then later that day, the skeles return to the underworld! But the Mad King's steward is nowhere to be found. But alas! The Mad King's Steward comes back! yay! Oh dangitall! He's not giving me my "Every little bit helps" quest. Yargh... I'm still 4,000 party points away from Life of the party! I need my ToT bags! lol ~Mervil 02:17, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

You should be more grateful than that Merv! :P And I am very anxious to learn the conclusion as well! Did the UWSCers cause Dhuum to break free and we get to put him back? Or did he break free to create a new subquest in the UW? Is his influence going to spread to other realms? Please tell us! Or please tell us when we will find out. Thank you for all of this Halloween excitement! --MushaTalk 02:26, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I believe the reasoning for 12:01 am instead of 12:00 am is a lot of people get confused about which day midnight belongs to, and if 12 am is midnight or noon. Perhaps 11:59 pm would be better, to keep it on the same day, but then we'd miss one event! purple llama 04:15, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

On a related topic, I'd like to express thanks for getting the new content in. The second quest got a little more frustrating than I think it really needed to (it was actually fairly easy once you got the hang of it, but getting there... O.O Some hex removal really would have helped...) but on the whole the new quests (and associated lore) were fun to experience. Looking forward to the finale, if there's one in the works! Draxynnic 06:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

New Content?

Hi Linsey! I am curious to know if you/the dev team are planning any new content for GW. I recall that when the BMP was released we were told that it was the goal of the dev team to produce new content every so often. Is this still true? If so, what is meant by new content? New quests? New heroes? And what are the chances of something very significant, like another bonus pack, or even a new campaign or expansion? :D Thank you. --MushaTalk 02:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

You didn't like the new H'ween quests? I thought that was fun and exciting new content. Plus: itt was a sneaky way to get peeps like me who were a'fear'd of the UW to visit.   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 03:04, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

New Content? I think we got plenty of these, don't you? I expect more as well. In the same fashion. -- Konig/talk 03:17, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I'm well aware of the new content released to date. :D And I've loved everything! I guess I am mainly curious about MAJOR content. Stuff that you'd have to pay for, like a new expansion or something resembling the BMP. --MushaTalk 03:56, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

That new epic-level content is currently running under the code name, Guild Wars 2. ;-)   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 03:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, yes, I knew somebody was going to mention that. But I'm asking about GW 1. Is there any such new content in the mix for GW 1? --MushaTalk 04:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

it is very unlikely that we are going to see a new expatiation. the live team is just to small for a project that large.- Zesbeer 04:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't expect a new expansion, due to it being said GW1 won't get any. Though, eventually, the Live Team may eventually be expanded to a point where new expansions could be made. However, with GW2, I wouldn't expect such, sadly (splitting the player base wouldn't be that wise, and more or less, people will be more drawn to GW2 anyways). -- Konig/talk 04:36, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

give us a button

to remove click to move, also make click to target easier pl0x - Wuhy 15:20, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Wut? If you go and press F11 you can disable "click to move" feature by checking "Disable mouse walking". Also, you can Tab the enemies for easier targeting. Unless I failed to grasp the core of your request. -- Large 15:30, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

why the fuck I did not notice that for ages? k here is another one: we need an ingame guild recruitment NPC so that its easier for guilds and players to find each other :O - Wuhy 15:35, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh oh! Here is another one! Create your own feedback space and put your ideas there instead of trying to bug Linsey directly whenever you have a new idea. I would also like it if we could fly, so if you are reading this Linsey please give us functional wings. A pony would be lovely too. Maybe a winged pony. A winged pony that can breathe fire. Or acid. Or acidic fire. Misery 15:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

that is not original at all Misery-.- the pony was already requested above! - Wuhy 15:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

You want to create a NPC that lists every single guild in existence? Repeat that in your head and see what it sounds like. -- Tha Reckoning 18:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I think i would rather have the acidic fire breathering flying pony though. -- Salome 18:25, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

That did sound cool lol -- Tha Reckoning 18:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

nope reckoning, not at all, I'd like an NPC where ppl can give some details about their guild+who they are looking for and the game could automatically fill in other info such as member count, rank, rating, alliance, gh etc etc.. there would be categories like pve:farming/titles/SC/whatever and pvp:gvg/ha/ab/codex, you could advertise your guild for a 500g fee there and it lasts a week, but you can cancel it if you want.. same thing for players.. I'm saying that the live team should add features like this not shitty content updates like codex arena/zaishen daily crap - Wuhy 18:46, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Large, is there anything similar to tabbing through enemies for allies? E.g. tabbing through allies? 65.207.54.194 19:30, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Tabbing is too slow and clicking is too hard. Clicking people is the best way to prot (and heal, too, really), and that gets stupidly hard in HA. It's one thing when you've got a group you're familiar with and you can button-target 1-8 just by looking at the character, but when you've got a group with a few pugstars in it (or even a full-on pug), you might as well be redbarring at that point.

I think the best fix would be commands for "target foe nearest to cursor" and "target ally nearest to cursor". is for Raine, etc. 19:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) You mean this? No? Then go into your Options panel, check Controls and check the whole "Targeting" section at the bottom. There are places for "Party Member - x" (x being the number in the party window, from 1 to 12), "Party Member - Next", "Party Member - Previous" and so on. — Poki#3 (talk) 20:02, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

@Wuhy: I don't know about Codex, 'cause I don't PvP, but Zaishen Quests are an extraordinary tool to re visit places that fell dead because of times. This helps newcomers,and also helps title hunters. I do not consider that a "shitty content update", but then again, no one is supposed to agree with me. Or you, for that matter. Bottom line is, this is clearly stepping on the grounds of Suggestions, so I'd say you should go ahead and create one and follow the rules there. PS: I do think that the NPC you request is not needed. -- Large 20:19, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

"also helps title hunters" I think you're on to something there, Sherlock. NuVII 20:27, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. Zaishen coins are not terribly useful, but a crowd of hundreds of people passing through the mission/bounty location each day, with no thought but to do it as well as they can, as fast as they can, as teamworky as they can, in HM? Fuck yes! | 72 {U|T|C} 20:37, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

"but Zaishen Quests are an extraordinary tool to re visit places that fell dead because of times. This helps newcomers,and also helps title hunters." truth to be told, no, they are boring, repetitive and pointless. "if you do RA today you get extra zkeys GO GO" what is the fucking point? - Wuhy 20:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

It means that for 24 hours you get only two average No Opposings per match compared to like five? I like that. Vili 点 20:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

"I think the best fix would be commands for "target foe nearest to cursor" and "target ally nearest to cursor"." basically this is what I'm saying but without the command part, you enable it and it always targets the nearest target to your cursor when you left click(and you can enable to target foes or allies) - Wuhy 20:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

This IS a suggestion. Wuhy, do it right, or don't do it at all. Go to Feedback:Getting started and create your user feedback page. Then you can make all the stupid suggestions you want, and all of you can discuss them there to your hearts content without bloating Linsey's page with this... -- Wyn talk 20:55, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Wow...um, or that could have been said in a kind, appropriate manner. Such as: "Wuhy, this is a suggestion and Linsey's talk page is not the place for suggestions. Please go to the Feedback:Getting started and create your feedback page so you can suggest this to Anet. Good luck and I hope that resolves any problems here." Karate Jesus 21:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Umad? 1-10

true, KJ but wyn is an asshole, so that is not an option - Wuhy 21:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

ps. wyn, nobody cares about my feedback page, if I want to get shit discussed and actually READ, then I'm gonna post it here. - Wuhy 21:08, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, that's technically also inappropriate. Just make a feedback thing and let this section die. I think Wyn has gotten enough grief lately (particularly from me). And, apparently Anet staff do read the feedback, and that's all that matters, right? Karate Jesus 21:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

@Wuhy, keep posting suggestions here and you will be blocked. -- Wyn talk 21:10, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Tbh, Wyn, you provoked it. Either way, time to move on :D Karate Jesus 21:11, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Ah HAH! I done told All ya'll she was gonna drop the hammer at some point here. ...and I hope she do, b/c it's been too long since the last epic rubber b&'ing round here... --ilr 22:22, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Isn't the point of Admins to make this wiki a well-oiled machine as opposed to scaring other users into being scared of posting due to the fact that they go against scary admins?

"nobody cares about my feedback page, if I want to get shit discussed and actually READ, then I'm gonna post it here." - evidence that Wuhy knew better and posted anyway. Others did tell him politely to take it to his own feedback page and he continued to discuss it as if they had said nothing. Frankly, I think wyn was right in moving past niceties, it's not like she called him an asshole or anything. (Satanael | talk) 21:46, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Just because aggression is passive doesn't mean it isn't aggression. Both were wrong, both have stopped posting, time to move on. Karate Jesus 21:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

satanael, did you notice that wyn "moved past niceties" before "I posted anyway"? ;D - Wuhy 22:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah BlazeRick 22:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

TBH,even if its the "ethical" thing to do you can't expect Wyn to be kind all the time.If you have asked it kindly several times you will eventually run out of patience (wether it takes longer or not you will eventually reach that point) and say it in a "less appropriate way".Wyn is not a robot and you can't expet her to be immune to frustration.Wuhy all you've done lately is been a pain in the ... neck and B*** about being banned yet you haven't changed a bit.I'm just saying you should stop being so childish , grow up and go along with the rules.Even if you don't think they are right,because you know ... its a wiki so you should try to not frustrate the F*** out of everyone Lilondra 11:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Skill Update

We need one Karate Jesus 17:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Why haven't we heard anything about a skill update? No reasoning as to why it's late, or when it will be now. We're more than two thursdays into the 2nd month since we heard bi-monthly. I havent seen anything posted by any devs. Why is the community in the dark right now? ~>Sins WDB 20:35, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry karate, they'll do the bi-monthly skill update eventually (maybe by Christmas). And at least they'll pretend to try to change things since it's a PVP problem. Granted they'll do something like extend a recharge time that in no way stops people from running the gimmick becuase they're too cowardly to effectively moderate and balance the game, but hey, what can you do?65.207.54.194 20:37, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Meh, I suggest that we stop filling this section up with bitching, so that when Linsey reads it she doesn't have to wade through the bullshit in order to understand how people feel. Not that I'm telling anyone what to do. I'm just thinking that construction comments would probably be more useful to Linsey than this shit. Karate Jesus 16:44, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

In order to spare Linsey that, she would have to not read the section at all, KJ. Erasculio 17:53, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Okay CA, you're right. I want you to go take out a loan and not pay it for two years. Let me know how that goes. -- Tha Reckoning File:User Tha Reckoning Sig2.jpg 18:47, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, this is a valid tangent right now. The game's sales figures from Q3 reports went down 1100 units from previous quarter. ...that's 20%. So whatever happened from July through September... definitely wasn't instilling confidence in the playerbase. Meanwhile Anet's operating cost just keeps climbing (even though they didn't declare it this time around) --ilr 20:50, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, so you mean the existing playerbase would not be buying new copies of a game they already have thanks to the lack of a skill balance update? Right. I wonder if Linsey would mind if someone archived this section, rotten cheese has a bad smell. Erasculio 22:09, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

kj would baaaww if his valuable construction comments got archived. -Cursed Angel 22:13, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Heh, funny how people get so irate when such and such doesn't get nerfed. Yes people they are OP and they are degenerative. Either adapt to beat it or quit GvG for 2 months. Your call.--Malchior Devenholm 23:42, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Don't you mean two years? -- Tha Reckoning File:User Tha Reckoning Sig2.jpg 23:58, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

"the Game"? Not sure how observant you really are... but there is multiple pieces making up "the Game" including microtransactions as well(new char slots, etc). New players are flowing in constantly but they don't bother getting the other chapters or unlocks when the community says its end-game is dying. --ilr 08:49, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Ah, of course. I'm sure the number of game units being sold (which doesn't mention microtransactions such as character slots and etc, but then again I guess it would take someone "observant" to realize that) is falling thanks to the whining vocal minority (or should it be vocal trio?) instead of being thanks to how unlikely it is someone looking for a new MMORPG would seek a game at best three years old (not to mention the loss of XTH making less people buy extra accounts for the free gold). Really, ilr, have you ever thought about working on Wall Street? Such as great insight for business, I'm sure you would be all the rage there. Erasculio 09:10, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Tbh, archive it if you want. All I'm seeing at this point is "Ew, this smells bad" and "Bawwww" and "KJ will this, KJ will that". I was trying to point out that I, and a few other GW players, feel that the game is in desperate need of a skill update by pointing out a few of the reasons. If that's what Eras and CA consider "whining" , then by all means archive the section. Karate Jesus 02:41, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

"All I'm seeing at this point is "Ew, this smells bad" and "Bawwww"" - I would then suggest reading something other than this. Erasculio 08:41, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

The GvG meta isn't that bad, it could be better but it's been a lot worse in recent memory. HA has and always will be gimmicky because of the mechanics and types of players that are attracted to it. However, one last nerfing of the idiotic R/A template would help HA.
