Did you do any notable gold or gem transactions of some sort, like get gold gifted by someone? Could get a new account flagged as a kind of a money laundering account.

No mobile auth, but also no gold transactions, no smacktalking in local, no shitposting on forums, just plain solo leveling from level 1. I wouldn't bitch about it if I thought that it might've been triggered by some of my own actions. Anyway, no point in guessing, they will tell that themselves as soon as they see that ticket. I think. It's not a big deal really, just fun-breaking. Actually I did expect something fun-breaking from ANet like grind, enforced PvP, gating or dull encounters or story. Probably it's a new innovative way of screwing players that they've created just for that expansion ?

No mobile auth plus that suspension message almost certainly means your account is compromised. Also possibly your email Go in and change all the passwords, and turn on auth. If you don't do the former support won't entertain your request when it comes to your turn anyway

Was your character named some variant of 'Dgsfgdgsfdf'? That could easily throw up a false positive.

Well I just spent an hour trying to organize TD but it failed because nobody wants to tag up or taxi untill the event is already half over. Great. Next time I'll save the effort and just jump in on other peoples organizing efforts I guess!

When I did that map the first time and everyone is yelling at us to stop I had no idea what the hell (I did stop, and it succeeded by like 4 seconds because once you're on that 2min countdown any tiny fuckup is a killer and our route had like hardly anyone left alive on it by the end hitting that loving thing with everything we had). I feel like it needs to ditch the 2min mechanic if all the streams are, say, only 1/4 left to go.

I bumbled into a TD meta while hunting for heroics and it was the most insane thing I'd ever seen in terms of organization. Rewards didn't seem worth it for all that effort.

Edit: VVV and for octovine, you just zerg counterclockwise around starting at east. None of the events have difficult mechanics. Depending on the side, you throw bombs while gliding, push bombs into him with knockback skills, turn into mushrooms and explode on him, or shoot him with rockets.

Tangled Depths is roughly divided into 4 lanes. The meta spawns a boss, Chak Gerent, in each lane (each lane has it's own gimmick you have to deal with in between phases of wearing down Gerent). If one lane fails to kill their Gerent (it's timed), or fails the lane gimmick, the whole meta fails.

If missing a TD lane gimmick meant you missed a burn phase instead of instant loss, it'd be a lot better.

yeah, octovine is a hell of a lot easier to actually manage in comparison because all you need is warm bodies in each quadrant and have some of them hold off while the others burn their vine some more. in the gerent event you're kinda always playing with fire and at any moment a big message on the screen will say THE ___ LANE HAS FAILED TO MAKE THEIR GERENT APPEAR which means you're hosed e: it's notably poo poo because even the dragon's stand meta is way more manageable and the entire loving map is focused around it.

I've had Nuhoch fail because not enough people pulled off a burn in time, and I didn't see anyone afk  That said, I know what you're saying. I'm generally one of the people tagging up and leading lanes and half the time getting people to do anything more than afk for rewards is like pulling teeth, good lord.

The problem with the DPS phase failing is two-fold. The first is people think that not participating in the unburrowing mechanic is ok. If you don't push each lane to tier 5 (except for SCAR, which will reach it automatically), the lane's damage is going to be lower than it should be because you lack the capped Angry & Vulnerable debuff (ogre), number of beetles (nuhoch), or additional damage from the golen (novus). The second is that people don't understand their class or basic combat mechanics. With few exceptions, classes do significantly more damage in melee than from range. When I see lanes fail due to lack of dps, it's because two of the 20 people in lane are meleeing and the rest are camping longbow/rifle/guardstaff. I've been in lanes that have gotten him to 15% health remaining in the first burn phase. I suspect he can be killed there. I'll amend what I said before: I think that it's acceptable for the game to require you to actively participate in a 10 minute event and to require a basic understanding of your class and combat mechanics.

It's fine, but having to hope that you get in a map where all the Turbo Nerds and Casual Game Enjoyers have spread themselves out evenly despite having turned off mapchat, and then not get hosed up by mushrooms and fail the whole thing and have to come back in 2 hours isn't the best. If there's any good example that the TD meta didn't get much testing feedback, it's that the nuhoch lane event originally scaled up in such a way that it became literally impossible to complete, on top of being the most annoying of the four, compared to 'aoe some eggs' and 'try not to distract the cats'. Likewise the Octovine south lane is a loving hassle next to the others, on top of trying to coordinate burns across a map being a bit unwelcome in zerg content.

Current TD is no harder than Tequatl if the majority of your map isn't afk. Wanting people to actually play events to get event rewards isn't exactly hard gated content. Magres fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Feb 25, 2016 |

I don't know any of the fights/mechanics to judge how good the groups are but they're usually successful. I pretty much just check GWTimer.com and queue up for whatever is happening if I can't be attentive enough to do fractals/raids.

If you ever see EVOS advertising in lfg for TT loving take it, it's your best chance. All the other maps I go through end with failure and people patting each other on the back for a 'nice try'. As for HoT metas in general success rates are usually great as long as you look specifically for organized maps to taxi into, preferably at a good amount of time before the event actually starts based on the bi-hourly schedule (check dulfy). I wish it was something more laid back but they've set everything up so that there's scheduling involved and a moderate time commitment. You can't be surprised at zoning into a failing octovine with uncommitted people while everyone else has their instances locked down and filled well in advance. If you are in an organized instance that failed it's likely because you didn't taxi enough people in time.

Magres posted:Current TD is no harder than Tequatl if the majority of your map isn't afk. On the other hand, if one mortar isn't removing scales the other mortars can still prevent the bone wall from going up. If enough mortars stop and the bone wall does go up that doesn't automatically mean loss because there is enough time to recover. Same deal if one of the batteries or megalaser fails their defense phase. If anyone messes up any stage of Gerent at any point every single person loses and the last two hours of the map were more or less a waste of time. It could and should be reworked so that any slip up isn't an automatic failure for the people in other lanes who possess rudimentary self-awareness and the ability to respond to stimuli.

Man you'll say anything to defend lovely game design won't you. As easy as Teq, give me a loving break, Teq nowadays can done with pugs got there literally minutes before he spawns, Triple Trouble and Chak require at a bare minimum a hugely organized instance and that's still not guarantee for a win. quote:If you ever see EVOS advertising in lfg for TT loving take it, it's your best chance.

Ah yes the ever so fun and enjoyable mash join instance and pray you get in gameplay aspect, fun fun! The map wide metas are loving stupid, they should have kept to world events like Tequalt not require a 150 assholes to hopefully be on the same page, Chak is especially bad since one lane fails=everyone fails, Teq and Triple at least have mechanics that let you salvage it unless things go horrifically wrong and even then, MAYBE, as I personally led a Teq instance that failed a battery and we still won by the skin of our teeth(fun as hell to.)

Octovine south is that the one where you push the bomb with shove moves? Ranger Longbow 4 it's your time to shine (don't pretend you don't use that loving move on literally everything you see you utter bastards). NO NOT THAT WAY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? (never done a look for group, i've come across the meta's naturally and had them win a few of those times, but had fun trying)

Actually that's not fun at all, but if you have to resort to brute forcing your way into a map because all the other taxis dried up you're already too late. The alternative of course is sitting in a map for 30 minutes waiting for the event to start, which isn't fun either but it beats waiting for 2 hours.

I haven't played GW2 in like a million years, but I'm suddenly in the mood to level a new character in it, since I remember just running around the leveling zones and doing stuff being super relaxing and fun. I can't decide what class to play, though! The classes that appeal to me aesthetically the most are the elementalist or the mesmer, but I remember them being really fiddly and difficult to play. Is that still the case, or have things changed since... like... 2012 or whenever it was I last tried them.

even though elementalists and mesmers are more difficult to play relative to some other classes, you should stick with them if you like the style. you can't expect to be an expert right away but improving by playing the game is part of what makes video games fun right?
