High Resolution windowed mode

Is there any way to allow the guild wars client to run in a larger window size than your maximum resolution? Cases where this would be useful would be placing the window in such a way that the window borders are off the screen or spanning the game across multiple monitors. Whenever I try to resize the window larger than the size of my primary monitor, the window snaps back to that maximum size. Any way around this? Edit: This might be relevant: Windows 7 64-bit. --Titus Winterborn 15:53, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I also wondered about that, and as far as I know, it's not possible. I'm not sure why, but I've played in XP and Win7 and neither support it. It would be nice to have a "maximized windowed" setting or something like that. ~Farlo Talk 19:38, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

There are a few third-party programs which provide this functionality, but a simple AHK script could probably easily accomplish what you want. I can't seem to find the script I used on my computer anywhere, but this should be sufficient;

;
; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x
; Language:       English
; Platform:       Any
; Author:         Ryuu Desu <Kawaii.was.Ryuu@gmail.com>
;
; Script Function:
;	Removes the boreder of the active window, centers the window, and sets it to the desired resolution via pressing the sequence "Ctrl+Shift+a."
;

#NoEnv  
SendMode Input  
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  

^+a::
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000,a ; remove the titlebar and border(s)
WinMove, a, , 0, 0, <length>, <width> ; move the window to 0,0 and resize it to <length>x<width>
return

Simply download AutoHotkey at the official website, and create a script file with the above information entered into it;

That script should center the active window and remove it's title bar, and borders when you press Ctrl+Shift+a.

You're going to have to replace <length> and <width> (including the < and > symbols.) to the desired resolution of your monitor (meaning some experimentation is going to be required).

Note that the usage of AHK isn't supported by Arenanet, and that if something breaks (as long as you're just using it to remove window borders, it won't), they probably won't support you. (It's the same as Texmod.) Furthermore, AHK can actually also be used for bannable offenses such as macroing (obviously), and even botting. Avoid doing this!

Finally, you can avoid having to run AHK to launch the script by converting the script to an executable file. (The download includes a program which allows you to easily do this.)

If you'd like, I could simply send you the script or executable, if you're having trouble, just contact me via the "Email this user" function on my user page.

Hopefully this allows you to achieve the effect you're looking for. Ryuu  *bite* 21:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Wow was I wrong o.0 Any way this could work with Texmod? ~Farlo Talk 03:12, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Tried Autohotkey, tried ShiftWindow, both exhibit the same problem where the window will seem to get larger for a fraction of a second then snap back to the monitor resolution. --Titus Winterborn 22:11, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I think I got this to work using a dirty hack with Xnest, but that was running GW through Wine. I don't really remember how I did it. It's something to consider though. Additionally, I don't think I ever got it to go above 2560x1600 or so; it just stopped showing the option (this might be a limitation in GW, or it could be because my GPU is limited to 2560x1600 for some arcane reason). –Jette 01:54, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I have the same problem and with AHK obtained the same results as Winterborn. I'm on windows, so xnest/wine is out of the question. Anyone have any suggestions to fix this? I just wish anet would add a command line argument to get rid of the stupid window size restrictions... Idmz 22:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Are you trying to have an over large resolution on one screen? If yes I cannot help you. Otherwise (EG Multi-screen Setups and Higher Res windowed mode,) Google "SoftTH" for going multi-screen, a low profile program that allows any multi-screen setup in directX 9 games, regardless of card brand or other common limitations such as varying screen sizes and native resolutions.(I've seen 9 (not a 3x3 grid) screen GW, it's amazing but pointless.) As for changing the windowed version's resolution this resolution is not a game limitation but a hardware limitation, your screen's native resolution is the max as far as I am aware. Graphics cards can not improve on this, high res monitors can. Sierra Invenio 01:20, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

PS: in Windows 7 with Aero enabled, simply drag the game's window to the top of the screen to maximize in windowed mode. Sierra Invenio 01:20, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I'm stumped...

So apparently because of some websites, GW won't start. After viewing some sites (MediaFire and Facebook are the only ones I know for sure cause it), whenever I run the game as a normal user or Admin, I get the launcher, then the window shows up, but crashes there, without rendering the game at all. My machine is old as hell, and the graphics drivers are temperamental, but I didn't think they'd somehow make website graphics interfere with DirectX. I haven't tested any other games, but the only solution is to reboot (log out doesn't work) and then run GW before Firefox. I'm on Windows 7 x64 running an Nvidia 7900GS (Legacy ftw!) with the latest drivers and all that jazz. Thanks in advanced for any help you guys can provide. ~Farlo Talk 09:55, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit: Just did some Task Manager pruning, and found out another way to fix it is to force kill firefox.exe and it's sup-task plugin-container.exe. I'm not sure which one causes it, but does anyone know why this would be? ~Farlo Talk 09:58, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

That is odd: one of the purposes of the firefox plugin container is to... contain plugins, i.e. keep them from interfering with (at least) firefox. Have you tried just killing just the plugin's process? I assume you have eliminated texmod and/or any multi-launcher as a potential cause.

The next troubleshooting step I would take is to try starting up firefox in safemode (which suppresses all mods) to see what happens then. If the problem goes away, then, alas, one of your plugins is at fault. Try listing them here to see what ppl have to say about any in particular. (I routinely run AdBlock Plus, NoScript, an anti-redirect, a flash blocker, super-cookie and cookie managers, and table2clipboard. I haven't ever had a firefox/gw conflict.)

The firefox:GW interaction worries me: there should be very, very few legit plugins that mess with non-browser apps or processes. Double-check that you don't have some sort mods-behaving-badly. And, if you haven't already done it, download a superior anti-viral app that includes rooting out rootkits.

Good luck and please keep us posted on your progress. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 17:13, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Killing just plugin-container is my next step when the issue props up again, and apparently (just tested), MediaFire by itself isn't the problem, so I still just have to wait until it happens, woohoo. Not being able to replicate the problem really cripples how you can fight it, so that'll be fun.

It struck me as odd as well, because I didn't think there was anything similar the two programs would use. I just have AVG for security, and as for plugins, I have AdBlock+, Java, NewTab Homepage, Save Images, TinEye, and Youtube->MP3 (I'm such a pirate). ~Farlo Talk 20:27, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Try disabling the AVG plug-ins for the browser (usually, just hide the AVG security bar...and you get asked to turn it off). Given the other security you have, I suspect this is overkill...and, I believe that this eats up more CPU than is healthy.

Also, if it happens again, see how much virtual memory processes are using; it might be that your swap file is having trouble tackling gw.dat, which is huge-beyond-huge. (Obviously, not everything is loaded into memory, virtual or physical, but it takes some extra processing to deal with large files like that.) This shouldn't be a problem on a hard drive with lots of space, but it can be on older machines with less than 20% of disk drive remaining. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 20:40, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I already have disabled/blocked all the AVG stuff that plugs into Firefox, it bugs the hell out of me. The last few times it's happened that I've looked, Firefox is using a little, plugin-container.exe is using a slim bit, and GW uses a decent amount loading (expected), but then stops all together when it tries to render the game and just sits there.

I have plenty of hard drive space and no issues running the game otherwise, and it's not like GW crashes with the "Not Responding, please close" popup, it just sits there picking it's nose. I guess now I browse some complex sites and try to get it to break :P ~Farlo Talk 21:02, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Happened again, and killing plugin-container.exe fixed it. I'm not sure what site caused it, I was only on GWW and Youtube, but whatever, pretty annoying. I guess I'll disable my plugins and see how that works. ~Farlo Talk 22:29, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Forgot to save my last post (after preview) or you might have seen my prediction. Find out what's causing the PI-C to spark up and prevent/suppress it; I believe that, somehow, it thinks that it should try to load gw.dat. PI-Cs generally load so that problems with Flash and Silverlight don't affect your other tabs, so mebbe your vid-DL tool is trying to hijack cinematics. I'd try disabling TinEye and YT->MP3 to see if it's one of those first. Sounds as if you are making good progress. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 22:37, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Not for those reason, but yeah, those were the first two I disabled. I guess I browse the internet with Process Explorer open and see what happens. What's weird is that even with PI-C running, GW will still work sometimes, so it's going to be an annoying progress. ~Farlo Talk 22:43, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I'd say flash is causing your problem, especially since you say you were viewing youtube videos, since version 10.1 it uses gpu acceleration. I'm currently having trouble with the ati drivers limiting my gpu clock to 400MHz when flash is being used, even when a 3d scene is being rendered. If I close firefox or (as you say) plugin-container.exe then the clock jumps back up to 800Mhz, and I can envisage the same issue with nvidia cards. Your best bet is to try updating your drivers and if that doesn't work open a support ticket with nvidia. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.211.11.55 (talk).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Flash was the issue, and whether it's ATI, Nvidia, or both, I have no clue, but it's stopped recently (probably one of the Flash updates). As for your issue, I'm not sure why that's happening, my clocks don't change on Flash heavy sites. Have you tried uninstalling (properly, with a 3rd party uninstaller) and reinstalling the video drivers and any overclocking tools? ~FarloTalk 20:45, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

If it's an issue with Flash GPU acceleration, then you can simply right click on a flash object and select flash properties, then disable Hardware Acceleration in the first tab. It'll not switch to the CPU. — Poki#3 (talk) 01:51, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Obtaining the Mirthful Dragon Mask

I do not own Factions, is there a way I can still get the Mirthful Dragon Mask? There are victory token collectors in the Great Temple of Balthazar and Lion's Arch, will these also offer the dragon mask at the end of the festival?

After completion of a few recent festivals, a (different) collector has been added allowing you to create a mask outside the finale. But I wouldn't guarantee that (a) they will be added and (b) if they are, that they appear in GToB or EB. You might try looking around for a free trial key and using that to gain access to the Monastery. GL. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 21:35, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

The collector TEF is referring to is Imperial Supply Master Kagno, who appears in the Shing Jea Monastery one week after the event, and trades 250 victory tokens for the festive hat of the year. So unfortunately, there's is absolutely no way for you to acquire a Mirthful Dragon Mask without either purchasing Guild Wars Factions, or finding a trial key to the campaign. And honestly, there probably aren't a lot of active trial keys around anymore (if I recall correctly, these keys expired awhile after you purchased the game, otherwise I'd go dig up mine and let you have it.)

At any rate, the all I can really recommend is that you use the in-game store or another location to purchase Guild Wars Factions, or one of the Guild Wars compilation packs (they include every campaign). Either way, the price of the campaign is significantly less than it used to be.

Of course, doing so just for a mask seems rather trivial. If you were to do this, I'd expect it to be because of Factions Skills, armor sets, and titles (for Hall of Monument purposes.)

But then again, it's your money - not mine.

Sorry that there's no easier solution for your predicament. Ryuu  *bite* 23:28, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

... What happened to chat? or my keyboard?

Is it just me or have question marks changed? Now they are e's with the accent above it. How can i change from a french keyboard to an English keyboard in Guild Wars? I'm having a lot of troubles and this really bothers me. Please and thank you.99.252.163.223 21:18, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Try pressing shift+alt and see if it helps. Idmz 21:25, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

This is actually a problem that's caused by Windows, not Guild Wars. The problem is that a predefined hotkey (typically "ctrl+shift") will change the region your virtual keyboard is in dynamically as you activate it, and most people aren't aware of the feature - or how to disable it.

If you wish to prevent this from happening, simply go to your control panel and select "Region and Language Options" (in classic view), or visit Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region and click on "Change Keyboards or other input methods", at that point, click on "Change Keyboards".

Ensure that your default input language is the desired language (English, I'd assume), and then review the "Installed Services menu". By clicking on undesired services and selecting "remove", you'll no longer accidentally be able to switch to that virtual keyboard set with the hotkey. (making sure you don't accidentally remove the US English keyboard).

As a final countermeasure, you can review the "language bar" tab, and check to make sure it is "hidden", as opposed to "floating on desktop", or "docked on taskbar".

To remove the hotkey to switch virtual keyboard sets, go to the "Advanced Key Settings" tab and click on any actions that may appear, and change the key sequence to "none".

Honestly, I have no idea why these features are turned on by default in windows, it's caused a lot more problems than convenience.

If you have any trouble doing what I described above, or have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

Bandwidth/internet speed requirements?

What should the internet speed be to play Guild Wars --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.27.122.142 (talk • contribs) at 18:29, 5 July 2011 (UTC).

See: Running the game for the full list of requirements. ANet claims officially that dial-up is sufficient. However, you will suffer from lag more frequently and might find parts of the game more challenging than you would like.

If you have any type of reliable, high-speed connection, you should be fine: cable, DSL, etc. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 18:41, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Router? Internet? RUBBERBAND

I'm having a hard time trying to play my Guild Wars when rubberbanding happens all the time. I don't know if it's my router or if its just my Guild Wars being screwed up. I get lag, rubberband, and i'm stuck all the time. What is it? My router? My internet service? Or my computer, (I even bought an Alienware computer to fix this problem) please help me. Thank you. 99.252.163.223 16:13, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Does all the time mean every time you visit any explorable area? Only certain areas? Does it happen in towns? If it's everywhere and if you have eliminated your computer as the source (by buying a new one), then I would work on troubleshooting your modem, router, and cable.

• Start by replacing any/all cable that you use. If you don't own spares, try simply unplugging and re-connecting them.
• Also try connecting from another location (e.g. a friend's).
• Try running an independent speed test from a reliable site (e.g. DSLreports.com).
• Try playing a different game that processes a lot of details on the gaming company's server(s) (e.g. another MMO, but not Diablo).

Good luck and please let us know how it goes. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 17:19, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Item price list?

I have a bunch of rare and gold items that I want to sell but am unable to sell them to a merchant, so I am forced to sell them to other players. Is there a place that shows the many guild wars items as well as there price? I have no problem finding the items, I just can't find what they are worth.

GwEstimator is a site that trawls Kamadan AD1 for trade messages. You can also try the auction sites at gwauctions.org and Guru. Disclaimer: use at your own risk, not endorsed by Anet or this wiki, etc. -- Hong 17:59, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Also try Guild Wars auctions (an official fan site). It has current auctions and results of past auctions (you can browse the first without a login). Obviously, there's less data there, but when you see a past price you know someone actually paid that amount for the item(s). (Also Guild Wars Guru has an auction section, but I think it only shows current trades.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 18:02, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Psst. Posted already. -- Hong 18:03, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Sigh. Yes. (I blame a head-cold. — My apologies to Hong; I should have assumed Hong would be thorough.)

Arguably, ANet has endorsed these third party sites, since they appear on the Guild Wars Fansite Roster. (They really should offer a disclaimer on that page.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 18:13, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Coloured Meanings.

I am wondering what the difference is between blue, yellow, purple, and green descriptions when they are highlighted over a specific weapon. For example, some weapons that are highlighted have a green description, but i don't see a difference between that and a mere yellow description for another weapon. I'd like to know the difference and the value of the meaning. Please and thank you. 99.252.163.223 22:18, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

On items dropped by monsters, they're an indication of item rarity. White is the most common, purple is less common than white, and gold is less common than purple. Green items are special unique items which always have the same statistics. PvP reward items have red text, but they are bought, never dropped. There are also some other unusual colors, such as rock candy, which are colored to match the flavor. On non-drop items, the color can be misleading. All crafting materials are the same color, even though a Ruby is much rarer than a Feather, for instance. Minipets are also given unusual colors: a mini Grawl is purple while a mini Rabbit is gold, but the Grawl is far more valuable. See item rarity for more information. –Jette 22:38, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Abbreviations?

I'm having trouble understanding people. I went to Hero's Acsent and everyone was looking for r9s, AoBs, fuzes, prisms, r10s and other stuff like that. What exactly are they, and what do they do? I've been on Guild Wars for years, but I've never heard those before. Also, how do you know if you are one of them? --Kickit 18:59, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

If you have to ask, you're probably not one. They're referring to team roles and ranks. You can find a listing of various PvP team builds on sites like PvX Wiki. -- FreedomBound 19:52, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

For a few general answers, r9 r10 and such refer to your Hero title, which you get points toward by winning in HA, and AoB is probably Avatar of Balthazar. Try using the search on this wiki or PvX for any acronyms you don't know. --ஸ Kyoshi 23:38, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Or, you could ask the players who are looking. --ஸ Kyoshi 23:39, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Don't do that, most of them are dangerously autistic and off their medication. They're liable to bite your goddamned head off just for asking and then flash you with a rain of tiger penises. The guys who sell crystal meth to 13-year-olds at the local middle school are more sociable than these freaks. Basically, HA is where terminally virginal nerds go to die. Stay away from it, it's known to be highly contagious. I'd also suggest staying away from anything involving Shadow Form. Go outside. Read a book. It's not too late for you. –Jette 00:22, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Seconded. Basically, HA (Heroes' Ascent) is one of (if not the most) elitist place in the game. If you don't have the right rank (which is what the r is in r9, etc) you are NOT gonna get a party. If you reaaaaaally really want to do HA, either make friends with high-ranked people (again, they're super-elitist so good luck with that), or just get your normal friends together and form a party in HA. Granted, you won't know what you're doing, but at least you'll get to HA and maybe learn as you go. --Dragon Nataku 15:51, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

In all fairness, there are number of HA players who don't have their heads shoved forty feet into their upper intestinal tract, but most of them have either quite the game years ago or play only with friends and guild members so that they can avoid the lobotomy patients who form PUGs. –Jette 16:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Now im stuck - cant go any further - unable to find Keiran. The green stary indicator at the portal to exit the EotN building, to see him, is there but when passing through the portal the green stary indicator disappears.

Thanks for the responses however I have done all of this - the hunt is concluded - 'Assist Keiran with his ill-fated plan to win Gwens affections' - I am supposed to meet him outside the EoTN building but he just isnt there. I have been between the HoM and the green stary portal indicator but he is no where to be found. Thats why I put it in the bug section to begin with. The walkthrough says he should be right outside the building where the green stary portal is indicating but he just isnt there. Could he be somewhere else in ice cliff caverns I havnt thought of????. I have been at this on and off for months, thats why I put it in the bug section to begin with. I even went and got all the necessary stuff again but he still didnt appear. And Gwen has nothing relevant to say. Still lost - has anyone else had this problem - some ingame players have told me they have it to - they just decided to ignore it. So still at a standstill :(:( Is it possible it is a bug and if so what do i do about it???? Thanks in advance

If you gave him all the items and he has said the last thing is getting the girl,then he will be in the HoM, not Ice Cliffs. Try there and let us know how it goes. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:18, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately he is in neither place :(

There are a couple of other possibilities, which all depend on what is in your quest log. Can you post a screenshot of it, showing what's under Kryta, Primary Ebon, Primary Kryta Quests, and Festival? (If you prefer, you can just type them out.) (You might not have things listed under each.) And could you do the same to show us the details showing under Ebon Vanguard Allies? Finally, do you have a quest called The War in Kryta? (would be listed at the top, under primary quests).

I think we should be able to figure out what needs to happen next; I haven't seen anyone get truly stuck in WiK. (The only exceptions were for very unusual situations created when they first updated the quests — is there any chance that you started this when WiK was first released...and then started up again more recently?).

Within the game? Alas, no. There's no way to tell the quests for which you have previously accepted a reward. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 20:03, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

There's no way to list said quests; however, obviously a completed non-repeatable quest will not be offered again, and some quests change the game environment upon completion. You can also sometimes tell the reverse; if all the Am Fah are friendly to you, you have not completed The Chalice of Corruption (or whatever that quest is). 24.130.140.36 20:18, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Alas, it's more complicated than that. The are other ways for the Am Fah to be friendly and some quests aren't offered to you right away (there are storyline or other factors required first). So, the environment is an unreliable way of telling which quests you have or have not completed. (It's not useless by any means; it just fails to give a thorough picture.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:20, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Fairly certain that this, while old, is the most recent info we have, which is that there is no info.

If by blocked, you mean uninstalled, then there's an easy fix. With online games, your account isn't tied to the disc or the computer, but to ArenaNet's servers (allowing you to log on anywhere). Since they maintain all the information, they can offer the game client as a download without worrying about piracy and allowing access without the discs or on multiple computers. The game client can be found here. Just download that program (remember to NEVER download an executable except from the official site), and run it as an administrator to re-install the game. I hope this helps, and don't hesitate to reply if you have any other issues. ~FarloTalk 20:03, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

After it's done installing, before you go to bed or something, press the windows key and R at the same time, then type in the following:

"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\gw.exe" -image

Then press enter. You should include the quotes. Just copy and paste that line, actually. That will download everything you need so your load speed will be faster. If you're on Windows 7 x86_64 or Windows Vista x86_64, then use this line instead:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars\gw.exe" -image

If you don't know which one to choose, go with the first one. –Jette 20:15, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

+1 attribute (healing) to a necro/monk

Hi, I want >4 mending health regeneration but im a necro, so by using my own attribute pointscan only get my healing to level 12. Mending >4 requires 13 attribute points. If i were tobuy a Staff Wrapping of "Attribute" or "Mastery" onto a healing staff, Would that give me the +1 attribute (20% chance) to boost my mending to >4? if i kept using until the 20% chance happened?

Thanks, The Reset

It should work, 1 time in 5 (roughly). (Please let us know how it goes.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 07:17, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Okay, i tried it. I added a staff wrapping of mastery to my holy staff (req healing). I then set my healing attribute so that i get >3 mending. I tried mending and got >3 health regeneration for 1st, 2nd, 3rd time but on 4th attempt it gave me the >4. so with 12 attirubte points, and a staff wrapping of mastery, any rank can get >4 health regeneration. NOTE: It is down to chance, so each time you pass through a portal, make sure you keep clicking and dismissing mending until you get the >4, as closer to battle it could take 5 times to do it.

Lol Mending, but yes, that's the idea. --ஸ Kyoshi 19:36, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Staffs that require <attribute> ?

Hi, Staffs such as the Destroyer Staff http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Destroyer_Staff dont show the attribute required. So what attribute does it use? The highest attributed?

93.96.245.137 12:52, 22 July 2011 (UTC) The Reset

Most staves that you buy from collectors, traders, etc. will be a req. 9. , which is considered Perfect. Other staves that have a higher req. that are gold, might be those out of a chest or dropped by enemies. 72.148.31.114 13:42, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

I think he's actually asking which attribute the staff requires, in which case, it's basically any: end-game and Hall of Monument eligible weapons are available to be crafted or traded for any attribute the weapon would normally be available in. So, which attribute it uses is which ever attribute you traded it for. You can get a Destroyer Staff of Fire, Destroyer Staff of Illusion, etc. They're not flexible, in the way that some unique staves are, where the requirement can be met by any of a number of primary attributes (example: Kerrsh's Staff). -- FreedomBound 13:59, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Botting Grey Area.

I know full well it is possible (and rightly so) to be banned for botting, especially 55 monk soloing. To my understanding the only way to be banned for botting is if the bot plays the game for you. But where is the "plays the game for you" clearly outlined? I know one should be banned for making a profit without effort. But I know many people (including myself) use macro enabled hardware simply to make certain things more manageable. The best example I have is recruit messages, like this:

!Heroes of Heltzer [Kurz] is recruiting. PvX (JQ/FA/AB/MTSC/UW/FOW/DOA) PM ME!

We are also recruiting Guilds for alliance. PM ME!

Sent exactly like that so it sends two messages in all chat. Am I expected to type this out each time individually? To my knowledge no. But if I were to add a delay and a loop so it sent perfectly in time with the amount of time allowed between messages this would not be acceptable. Because this would allow me to jack up the game volume for a whisper response and go do something else.

Also another situation is quick spike macros for pve that I am considering using that would perfectly time the skill uses of an Assassin chain so the target foe wouldn't get a reprieve from the attack due to human error. Normally this is not an issue but against things like the endgame bosses or Dhuum/Mallyx, this slight error could cost everything. At what point do assistance macros/scripts become bots? Sierra Invenio 01:41, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

ANet isn't going to tell us the exact cutoff for two main reasons: (1) it makes it too easy for botters to evade detection and (2) it gives a ready-made excuse to human players who are knowingly crossing the line. So, ANet intends for the gray area remain gray.

However, you can follow some simple rules of thumb: if you're evading potential human error, then are you really playing the game? if someone outbids you for that weapon you really wanted...and you learn they used this type of technique for farming, would you feel that they had an unfair advantage? There's a big difference between your advert (which is a copy/paste job, sped up by a macro) and your automated skill chain. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:58, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Your first example is pretty poor, you don't need to type messages again in GW chat, you just press the up arrow, it scrolls through everything you recently sent. Your second example would probably be allowed, but only in PvE. Gaile has said (and I'm too lazy to dig up the link atm) that anything that automates the game in PvP would be an actionable offense (assuming they caught you). While PvE isn't quite as strict, if you can walk away from the keyboard and your character is still playing, consider it off limits. -- FreedomBound 02:06, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

@TEF: I see your point about really playing the game. You are right on that. It was just a thought I figured I'd ask as it was convenient.

@Freedom Bound: Ah but you are assuming I'm not going to send other messages to other people. Eventually the message would get lost in my chat logs. And copying it to clipboard and pasting is very rarely an option for me as my clipboard changes very quickly, especially when recruiting because it is easier to copy the user's name than try to type it out. (Especially with people that use things like "pipe" in their character name.) --Sierra Invenio 02:14, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

When I was recruiting people, I kept a text document with things to copy+paste, like my ad, the rules, the welcome to the alliance, the request to leave your current guild, etc. Manifold 02:22, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I guess I'll just reiterate the second part of my statement then. If you can leave the keyboard and your character keeps spamming the guild message, it could be considered botting. I doubt tying the two chat instructions together and continuing to spam them semi-manually would be considered botting, unfortunately. -- FreedomBound 02:23, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Guys I totally understand that there are other ways to do it, but if I have the, let's call it ability, to press 1 key and send the messages I wish to send without fail every time why would I not use it? I am merely making sure it is legal to do so. And if that's spamming I am very sure many others than myself will be banned, mainly every recruiter in large towns? (I mean really have you ever seen someone ask random people to join their guild one at a time?) Sierra Invenio 02:28, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

When using macro's there is always a thin line. There are two things that you have to wonder when using macro's: 1: how serious is this in the eyes of the support team? (wich we won't know for sure), 2: what is the impact on the whole game and from an outstanders view, how do they feel bout it? For example. When you need to press eg. 1 to spam your two advert lines, that is fine in my opinion. When you have a macro doing it automaticly every few seconds, I would be annoyed by you when I was in the same outpost. The more people you annoy, the higher the change they report you and the higher the change you are subject to investigation. Rumian 12:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

ANet can't give you an answer, and neither can we. If you're using a program for something inoccuous, like trade spam, then they will probably recognize you aren't a malicious RMT farmer and let you off the hook. I'd suggest avoiding that assassin chain thing, because that definitely qualifies as automated play and is bannable. Rather than give you more legal mumbo-jumbo though, I'll provide a solution to both your problems:

1) Stop pulling randoms out of local chat. That's not a guild, that's a very big pug. Find people you like and play well with.

2) Stop being bad. Either get good enough that human error is no longer an issue (took me like 4 days of practice to figure out how to quarterknock, but now it's unconscious and automatic), or use a self-working attack chain that doesn't leave room for human error. –Jette 13:48, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

As a simple example, if we were allowed to account for human error with botting, those dll injection interrupt bots that were (are?) popular would be perfectly permissible. Which, I'm sure you know, they are not. On the other points, Jette sums it up nicely. --ஸ Kyoshi 14:00, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I know I'm new here, but, If you indeed want to use a bot or macro to spam guild recruiting messages, and you're willing to risk your account over it, I say go for it. ChaosBurst 12:15, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Guild Wars Server

I am wondering why the server for my Guild Wars is failing on me, its not good at all. Even if I have a good computer made for gaming, and good internet connection, and speed, the connection from me to Guild Wars is not strong enough. Has anyone had this happened to them before? I am wondering if Guild Wars 2 would be any good or have at least one chance of improvement, because in Guild Wars 1 the server for this game makes this game no fun to participate in because of the loss of connection. Can anyone help with this problem? Please and thank you. 173.33.140.147 02:50, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

They updated some more skills, etc. The best thing to do is close out your game and then restart it. You should be able to connect then. Otherwise, older versions won't run. Didn't for me and I had to update to do an elite area. 72.148.31.114 03:36, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

funny little buttons

Look at this. Can anyone tell me what the sixth and seventh icons from the left mean? The first five are obvious and in the game, the last is sacrifice (and in the game), and the one on the bottom is the old elite icon before it was removed or changed to a yellow border or something, I don't remember or particularly care. But what the crap do the others mean? A little skull and a little > thing like the enchantment cost upkeep doohickey. –Jette 21:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I would imagine they're unimplemented (or not-yet-implemented) content, since I haven't seen them before. If I had to speculate, the red one with an arrow was probably for health degeneration as an upkeep cost, but no idea for the skull thing. --ஸ Kyoshi 22:42, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

"Elite Enchantment Spell. Sacrifice 3...1...1 Necromancer heroes. While heroes are dead, all remaining party members gain 2...8...10% Happiness." ~FarloTalk 02:46, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

In my honest opinion: sixth probably is "corpse required" (e.g., minion/well spells), seventh would probably be "health upkeep" (similar to vampiric weapons). Konig/talk 01:23, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Well the sacrifice icon isn't there... maybe the skull looking one was an old sacrifice skill icon?–alistic 01:29, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

I'd assume such for the last one, which is just like the energy icon but red (health bar's color). That's why I assume a health-upkeep for the red circle with the arrow. An old hp degen icon and an old sac icon - or rather, health cost. Konig/talk 02:54, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

It's a shame nobody knows about all this cool old stuff. I keep trying to get the art team to pass me the high-res skill icons so I can make a sheet or two of Guild Wars blotter acid, but when I asked her Gaile spat beer in my face and laughed. –Jette 03:17, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

This is the "Ask a wiki question" section, so if the OP had the right spot, then you can't "join" a guild on the wiki, but you can say you're in one on your userpage. If he got it wrong, move it on over to the game question section :P ~FarloTalk 01:13, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

To join a Guild you first need an invite from an officer or guild leader of the guild you want to join. If you get an invite, you see a chatmessage. You can accept the invite by pressing G in game. To get an invite to a guild you might want to check Category:Recruiting guilds. This is a list of all Guilds that have made a page on this wiki, and are actively looking for new members. Most of these guilds have names off the officers on their wiki-page, so pick a guild you like, note the name, and whisper one of the officers in the game.Rumian 08:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

An idea for /bonus

So i have an idea, i have purchased the new envoy staff (gold) for fast casting. and im aware of other VERY high end weapons that ppl are wondering "what's Anet gonna do with this"? i have an idea that wouldnt nessesarily change the ecomy, rather it would buff it. making an NPC that can hold items for the account for account based items, such as the /bonus option could in fact be expanded to such high end weaponry as the envoy weapons. in a sense a newer, improved /bonus that would allow the player for his or her entire account to have an automaticly customised weapon that the average player could not afford. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by KeyboardChemistry (talk • contribs) at 07:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC).

It's an interesting idea. If you want to formally propose it to ANet, you need to formally post it. See Getting started to, erm, get started. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 07:48, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Absolutely bother, KC. ANet might not be able to implement the exact idea that you propose, but they have also taken player suggestions as a jumping off point for something more interesting.

Max Damage Sword

What is the max damage most effective sword you can own and how do you get/create it?

I know it's an icy sword of some sort and thats all.

Whats the best possible inscription you can get for this sword and what else can you do to it to make it the best sword in the game? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.248.95.123 (talk).

Please don't create multiple sections, it doesn't get things done any faster. To answer your question, there is no "best" weapon in the game. All weapons have maximum damages and mod effects. As for swords, anything that does 15-22 damage is considered "max". The Icy Dragon Sword is a somewhat rare skin, but is not worth much anymore. For a detailed explaination of weapons, their damage, and mods, check out these links: Weapon, Perfect, & Upgrade component. The Wiki has a lot on info, and the search tool is always a good first step :D ~FarloTalk 04:51, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

The best sword (for hitting enemies, at least) is one that does 15-22 damage, is customized, and has been upgraded to suit your build and capitalize on your enemies' weaknesses. Nearly every sword in the game can be made to fit this description. In addition to the links above, you might want to check out the lists of unique swords, collector swords, and crafted swords as an alternative to buying your ideal weapon from another player or waiting for it to randomly drop. --Irgendwer 05:10, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Vilany of Galrath (Hard Mode)

I've unlocked hard mode, and have completed Galrath in normal mode, but when I enter Lion's Arch in Hard Mode and visit Sergio, the hard mode quest is not an option.

Hmm, that is quite odd. If you go to LA in Normal Mode does he offer any other quests?

I have found the Shining Blade Camp but received no instructions.

I have got the support of the Ebon Vanguard but found the Oolas Lab quest difficult

I went to Zinns Secret Lair to get another one but although I received the message "Well here is one!" I did not receive one. Where am I going wrong? Thanks, Jay --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2.100.158.254 (talk).

Well, first off, you might want to take a look at The War in Kryta, which is an overview quest given by Murro in Lion's Arch. Another useful page to try would be War in Kryta/Walkthrough which has a much more detailed walk-through of the WiK. In your case, I believe you have to watch the multiple "cutscenes" or dialogues that take place in the Hall of Monuments and the Shining Blade Camp, so I'd check back in those areas first. I also don't think the GOLEM Manual has anything to do with the WiK, that's just for MOX the hero. Let me know if any of that helped or with any updates. ~FarloTalk 21:11, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

I would revert, but half the answer is actually useful, also if you don't want to waste the money you spend on the guild hall, then you could actually try selling your guild to someone else for a small amount of money, Though buying guilds this way isn't very popular due to the possibility of scamming.

players names and

Ive often wondered why some players names are light blue while others are a darker blue. Also, I got another question I just remembered. If a staff has an inherent 10% HCT and I add a 20% HCT staff head, how does that stack? would it be 30% HCT or does it stack like a 40/40 set? last question. Is this even the right place to be asking these things? the_decline 11:35, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Players with light blue names are the only person in their party, while players with dark blue names are in parties of 2 or more people (or heroes and henchmen). Each modification is checked individually, so if the spell being cast is in the right attribute, you have a 10% chance of it being halved, then a 20% chance of it being halved. Once in a while, you'll get both and you'll have a spell that takes ¼ of the usual amount of time to cast. –Jette 12:35, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

See HCT and 40/40. --Silver Edge 03:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Is it possible to get experience from handing in a full hero's handbook, master dungeon guide, shiro's return, night falls or young heroes of tyria, even if the faction you can get reputation points for is full? To clarify: once you reached max reputation with the Asurans, the Norn, the Deldrimor Dwarves and the Ebon Vanguard, could you still hand in a Hard Mode book to just get the experience points?

Guild Wars has never had any primary vs. secondary skill restrictions. Pre-Searing is a weird place though, and Empathy is given to primary Mesmers through the quest Mesmer Test.

You have to turn the hammers in as a quest reward for Kathandrax's Crusher. Run to Catacombs of Kathandrax. Take the quest and reward, zone into the dungeon, zone out of the dungeon, and repeat. •••Mora 14:27, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Sin/Dervish build?

Anyone know a good Assassin/Dervish, PvE skill build?

Dervish is generally a poor secondary profession since the giant dervish update, and since this game doesn't lock you into using a specific secondary profession, I'd suggest picking something else.

This is an excellent PvE assassin as long as you bring Strength of Honor on a hero or something. Their suggestions for elites are mostly bad; I'd recommend Way of the Assassin, Way of the Empty Palm (which might allow you to drop Critical Eye, I've not tried that one), "Charge!", "Incoming!" (often with "Fall Back!"), or Unyielding Aura. If you can get another player to put Great Dwarf Weapon on you, that'll just make things awesomer. -- Armond Warblade 05:49, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

character levels

how come my character's levels on any of my games do not go over 20th level --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.99.124.196 (talk).

Guild Wars has a max character level of 20. After you reach level 20, you gain skill points, but do not gain additional levels. -- FreedomBound 13:30, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Romance?

The game is very in-depth concerning character development. Would it be possible you would get to flirt with or romance npcs? Logan, Caithe, ect.

You are talking on the Guildwars wiki. This wiki is all about Guildwars 1. Both Caithe and Logan are GuildWars 2 characters so the place to be would be the GW2W. But details like this are not known yet bout the game. If you would like this you might want to add a suggestion using the feedback system. Developers are reading it and using idea's to further improve the game. You can do that here Feedback:Getting started. Rumian 10:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

gw2 disc

does the disc have to be in the pc to play the game? if say want to switch pc will i be able to?

The discs are only for installation (and even if you lose the discs and want to install GWs on another computer you can download those files for free from the official website). So, TL;DR: no, you don't need the discs to play the game, and in order to play on another computer you just need to install the game on there. --Dragon Nataku 17:58, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Saving a long quest?

Is it possible to save a long quest when part way through it? I have spent a couple of hours clearing a path of all baddies and then - my connection is lost or the doorbell rings or a meal is ready, etc. Is there no way I can save my progess and resume later? Jay --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 78.145.115.13 (talk).

Nope, sorry, the game info is stored on Anet's servers and thus they control when the game saves (i.e., you finish a quest or a mission, or you die, etc.). --Dragon Nataku 15:00, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Some quests have multiple objectives, which can be done separately, but for most it all resets when you leave the explorable area you're in. The only things I can think of that could potentially take more than 90 minutes are things like The Underworld or The Deep, but nothing you'll come across playing through the campaigns is supposed to take that long. Is there a specific quest that you had to abandon? Manifold 15:20, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes A Little help From Above. Trying to do this with heroes as no one seemed to be going from Lion's Arch and no help came from above! A long quest. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2.100.156.11 (talk).

The War in Kryta quests can be a bit annoying for new/inexperienced users, but it should definitely take you less than an hour or so, even with heroes. If builds are your issue, I'd suggest taking a look at PvXWiki, as well as the tips and walkthrough on the wiki page for the quest: A Little Help From Above.

As far as "saving", you can't leave the explorable zone or most quests will reset, but if you need to eat or do other things and you have a stable enough connection, you can pretty much just leave your character there while you're AFK. As long as you move out of the enemies way and make sure no groups will stumble upon you, you should be safe. ~FarloTalk 19:14, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Assassins cannot do DOA

i'm wondering why assassins can't "do" DoA, because apparently its almost impossible for an assassin to complete the mission of DoA, why? I would like to know, please and thank you. 99.253.118.180 23:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Any prof can succeed in DoA, under appropriate circumstances. However, it's easier for some professions than others, which is why you see Panic Mesmers, DwG rits, and Imbagons on most teams. – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 23:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Assassins are pretty good in the DoA under the right circumstances. Find some abusive hero builds, have them put strength of honor and splinter weapon on you, and then go nuts with death blossom. At R8 Lightbringer, you can deal 130 damage to everything near you every 2 seconds, which all ignores armor. If it's really too hard, get consumables and use those to help. And if that doesn't work, find a friend to help you. –Jette 00:06, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Alternatively, if you're with people you know, you can make due using almost all secondary skills sometimes. (for instance, being an A/Rt and pretending to be a DwG Rit). PUGs might not like that though. — Poki#3 (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Direct 3D problem

Unable to log onto GW. Message rec'd to install Direct X and 3D. How do I get around this? Help please. Sharen --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 97.101.113.8 (talk • contribs) at 16:19, 21 September 2011 (UTC).

You'll have to install the newest drivers for your graphics card and the newest DirectX for your system. — Poki#3 (talk) 15:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

If you're unsure on how to do this, here's a basic walkthrough.

1. Run Windows Update and make sure everything is updated.
2. Download the latest DirectX Runtime here and install it.
3. For graphics drivers, you first need to determine what brand and model of card you have. Open Device Manager under the System tab in the Control Panel and expand the Display adapters tab. The name of the device is your graphics card.
4. Depending on your result, either go to AMD/ATI's or Nvidia's driver download page.
5. Fill out the little form with your graphics card model and Operating System and download the file it driver it presents you with.
6. Uninstall any old drivers you have from the Add/Remove Programs menu, reboot the computer, and then install the new version you just downloaded.

Hopefully this helps, good luck! ~FarloTalk 19:26, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Sign your comments with ~~~~.

Anyways, there could be a couple things wrong;

1. Are you equipping a skill that causes your pet to be there? You need either Charm Animal, Comfort Animal, or Heal as One equipped in order for your pet to appear.
2. Do you have a pet charmed? With one of the above skills equipped, does your pet appear if you travel into an explorable area (e.g. Isle of the Nameless)? If you're unsure on how to charm a pet, Animal companion#Acquisition explains how.

I hope this gets you sorted out, feel free to reply if you need any more help. ~FarloTalk 01:32, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Willm1 is referring to Random Arenas and a PvP-only Ranger, so only Charm Animal causes a pet to appear into a PvP area, not Comfort Animal (PvP) nor Heal as One (PvP). --Silver Edge 08:26, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Dwarven Stability vs. Dark Escape

I am wondering why this combination of skills are not working properly together, based on what the skills' description is telling me they should be working fine but theyre not. Dwarven Stability is supposed to allow stances to last 100% longer, because my Dwarven rank is at its maximum, and my skill Dark Escape says (for 5 seconds) you are running 25% longer...etc. when i test the two out the time for the skill Dark Escape wont extend, even if i used Dwarven Stability first! and even if i bring the Shadow Arts attributes up, the time is only affected by the attributes, and is not affected by Dwarven Stability~ please help me, thank you. 99.253.118.180 21:48, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

I just tested this. At 12 Shadow Arts, Dark Escape should last 13 seconds. I used Dwarven Stability at r9, which should just less than double the length of the stance. After casting Dwarven Stability and then Dark Escape, the skill gave me a 25% speed boost for about 25 seconds, a little under double the original length, just as expected, no oddities.

Are you expecting the skill text to change based on the fact that you're enchanted by Dwarven Stability? The skill's boost occurs, but it doesn't display on the skill or effect icon.

Otherwise, could you give more information on the trouble you're having so we can try to replicate the issue? --ஸ Kyoshi 23:13, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

If it is affected by profession then it's a bug, but I seriously doubt it. To reiterate, the text of the skill is unaffected when you use the two skills, and no matter your profession, you must cast Dwarven Stability first for it to have any effect. --ஸ Kyoshi 12:46, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Nightfall account Question

My current account has 3/4 games on it and I couldn't find Nightfall campaign anywhere in my hometown. Though I have recently come across the Guild Wars Complete Collection which has all 4 games on one disk. Can I use that access key to unlock Nightfall on my current account, or will I have to start from scratch?

Thanks to anyone if they know this answer.--99.242.110.165 03:25, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Technically, yes. If you added the Complete Collection to your account you'd then have access to all 4 games. However, it'd probably be easier to use either the in-game or NCSoft store to buy Nightfall digitally by itself (depending on the prices). Also, there are of course other places on the internet where the codes can be bought for a lot less, but those also carry a lot more risk. ~FarloTalk 03:45, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure if the Complete Collection has just one key inside, or multiple keys, but most likely just the one key for everything.

You can add that key to your current account no problem, but the non-Nightfall parts will go to waste (and the game will warn you about this when entering the code). you won't be able to make another Proph-Fac-EotN account with the spare keys for instance.

Like Farlo said, make sure there are no other ways you could get just a Nightfall key cheaper. I you're sure you can't, go for it. — Poki#3 (talk) 04:28, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

War In Kryta Quest lost?

I was doing the War in Kryta quest. I got to the Inquisitors part of the quest when my friend asked me to run the Battle of LA with him. So I did and when I finished there was a icon above Princess Salhma. So I spoke with her and it said that my war in kryta quest was updated but I never recieved the reward and it will not allow me to get the cutscene in the hall of monuments. So I tried to go back to the Talmark Wilderness and there was a cutscene with LT Thackery talking to the shining blades about preperations for battle (training) but that was it. So my question is how can I either get the war in kryta quest back or get the next quest to continue where I should be? --24.197.164.49 15:09, 9 October 2011 (UTC)Kevin Game Name: Tru Ownage

Murro will usually offer the quest, although it's not necessary to complete any of the WiK content. The umbrella quest he gives has no rewards, it's basically just a pseudo primary quest to guide you to the next part of WiK. If the content is still continuing in your game, you should be able to pick it up from where you last left it (before helping your friend in the Battle for Lion's Arch).

Try finding your location in the quest chain using one of these pages: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_War_in_Kryta#Walkthrough or http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/War_in_Kryta/Walkthrough.

Check if Murro is still offering the WiK umbrella quest, you might just be able to pick it up off of him again. 58.106.138.105 23:28, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Extended Range???

I'm on this mission, and these enemies are attacking me even though theyre not in range of me. Even if there are enemies outside of my 'earshot' bubble they still attack me and i die no where near anyone. What's happening?? Is it because they have an extension in their skill or something? Or what?! I'd like to know, please and thankk you.99.253.118.180 20:06, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

"This" mission? Which missions is this mission? Some monsters have extended aggro: Kournan Spotters have double the usual aggro radius, as do most types of Wurms that use Wurm Siege. Skeleton of Dhuum are variously reported as having compass-range aggro and normal aggro, but with a compass-sized patrol. There are other examples, I can narrow it down for you if you tell me what monsters are attacking you.

The short answer is that yes, some monsters cheat. –Jette 21:08, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Most spells require the caster to just barely touch the target with his agro bubble, and most bows have just longer than earshot range (especially if the attacker has the high ground). -- Armond Warblade 05:12, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Bow and spear attacks also have longer range if the attacker is at a higher elevation than you are. Degeneration skills can also kill you long after you are out of ranger of your enemies. – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 19:54, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

It is also possible that you "die" not because someone is attacking YOU, but because enemies are attacking an ally (NPC) that is needed for the mission; in certain campaigns, if the ally dies, you fail the mission (ie: die). -- Large 00:39, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

To Sorrow's Furnace - only sorrow

At last I found someone doing the quest given by High Priest Alkar in Sorrow's Furnace and we finished it and watched the cut scene etc. But I was really disappointed to find I had not been credited with the quest as I did not realise I had to ask for the reward inside the furnace. Is this normal for dungeons and how would I have known? Now I will have to start again. Jay

It's fairly typical: you cannot proceed with a mission until you claim credit for the prerequisite quest. The main difference here, as with all elite area quests, is that you cannot claim credit back at an outpost. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that you can claim some of the sorrow's furnace rewards from the NPCs in Grenth's Footprint; you might want to check (Alkar's location is marked on the map).

Is there any obvious way to recognize that some quests cannot be claimed in an outpost? I don't think so. On the one hand, this seems fair (to make it harder to fool the AI/mechanics). On the other hand, ... the game goes out of its way to warn you when you are about to leave an explorable area via a gatekeeper NPC (e.g. to get into Cavalon or House zu Helter, you have to click, yes, I'm sure four times; to get into LA Keep, you have to click twice), so ... yeah, the game ought to provide more guidance on this. – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 23:07, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I did check with Alkar but only got the quest again. Also checked with other NPCs in Grenth's footprint but no success Jay

Is it possible for two Prophecies characters that I own to be transferred to the same spot in the game so I can play with them both simultaneously? --Frozentwilight3 05:33, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

On the same account? No. If they are in different accounts, yes. You have a couple of options:

1. Use two computers.
2. Use software (from Microsoft or other sources) that allows you to emulate a second computer using just one (and play the game from the main computer and from the virtual machine).
3. Use a software that allows you to run two copies of the game from the same computer.

1 and 2 are specifically allowed by the EULA; 3 is not (but as far as anyone knows, no one has ever gotten into any trouble solely for using such software). – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 07:03, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

"It’s important to note that ArenaNet does not approve any third-party programs. The use of any third-party program in conjunction with Guild Wars is not advised or endorsed and is always expressly at the player's own risk. Players know that we have not targeted "benign" software—the kind that does not give a player any sort of in-game advantage—and that we have no intentions of doing so in the future. Further, we can make it clear that we do not believe it is in our interest to specifically target the users of software of this sort. But that's as far as our reassurances can go. We simply cannot make any promises that any third-party software, no matter its current claims or past history, is 100% safe. The best, safest course of action players can take is to not use any third-party programs that interact with Guild Wars in any way." — User:Gaile Gray/Support FAQs/Bot Ban Details

Essentially, when it comes to programs that allow you to run two GW's on one machine you're not going to get in trouble for it as long as you're not doing anything that gives you an advantage other over players, which is fortunate as this is by far the easiest method for those who don't own two machines. Their main concern is that it's not ANet approved and so potentially not safe, as opposed to it being against the EULA (the same issue applies to TextMod). --Wingsy 00:50, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

If you're on linux, wine lets you do pretty much whatever you want - apparently it should be possible to just tell it to treat one differently from the other, or to copy and rename one (this works on windows as well, or so I hear), though that also takes some weird configuring. I'm lazy, though, and just su to another user and run it as them when I want to do this sort of thing; it's faster and doesn't require me to know what I'm doing. Does windows have anything like su? -— Apheori (talk) 06:01, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

The way Windows apps do it is by taking two copies of the game files and changing the registry entries on the fly so that "GW #2" doesn't recognize "GW #1" and doesn't redirect to it.

Any help you can give me would really be appreciated.99.177.254.78

Regarding my question about "Winds of Change-Master Chows Estate" I was finally able to work my way through it. So thanks for the "keep trying incentive"99.177.254.78 02:54, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

After Boreas Seabed, your next quest is City Under Attack. You get that quest from the Imperial Herald in Zos Shivros Channel (where you landed after the Boreas Seabed mission). 71.178.26.175 23:09, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Mallyx spirits

Are the spirits in Mallyx the unyeilding supposed to respawn after you use gaze of fury on them....my cousin and I used this last night but after about 5 secs the spirits respawned. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.14.107.128 (talk • contribs) at 21:16, 23 October 2011 (UTC).

By themselves the spirits stay dead, however Mallyx the Unyielding has a skill called Unyielding Anguish that he uses to resurrect the dead spirits. It's been a long time since I played, so I am unsure if you can interrupt the skill (most likely yes) and if Mallyx has any innate ability that lowers the recharge time on his skills. — Poki#3 (talk) 02:39, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
