Inculpatus cedo.9234

Are you providing information that would match what's on record? There may be an on-going dispute on who the actual owner of the account may be.

I don't remember posters being adverse to a new Profession; must have missed that. Rarely seen posts lamenting new zones, especially with regards to an expansion. And Build Templates? Again, I don't remember negative feedback until _after_ they were released. Regardless, it's the Devs that have stated that a new race isn't 'on the table'. They didn't state that about the other examples.

Make sure to close all your tickets with the CS Team. Respond with, "I no longer need help." (Also, in the future, never submit multiple tickets, as that only sends you to the back of the queue.)

I'm guessing the Devs might be considering such a thing; there's been plenty of threads and posts about it over the years. Good luck.

You don't think the restrictions on Play4Free accounts is an incentive to buy expansions? Or that said restrictions is what 'turns players off'? I'd guess seeing/hearing about what other players have acquired via expansion content is a pretty big enticement. Much more than content/maps/story they've never seen. Also, no matter where the demarcation line is between 'core' and 'more difficult content, (newer) players will balk and lament the higher difficulty. I'm not sure it would help to just change 'end-game Core Tyria maps'. (Just like Orr maps were changed for this reason, long ago.)

According to some players, expansion content is more difficult than Core Tyria content. You can try The Silverwastes/Dry Top as intermediary content. Good luck.

I can't agree with the assessment. There are a lot of Jeremy Soule's music fans. (Not that Maclaine, Stan, Lena aren't wonderful composers, as well.) Many players have posted that Core Tyria's maps are their favorites, and that those maps offer the best map stories available. I'm not sure the Guild Wars franchise is as unknown as stated; it seems to be often listed on gaming sites/in articles about MMORPGs. Many _trailers_ (which is what was linked) show 'content' that is never seen in-game; that is not unusual. As many opinion posts there are pro-Heart of Thorns, there are probably just as many against. Personally, I'm hoping End of Dragons is a bit more like Core Tyria, than HoT or Path of Fire. Of course, that's just me.

Chapters within Episodes must be played in order (first time through only); Episodes can be played in any order.

Seems a bit close to the 'birthday chair': https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/e/ed/Victory_Rock.jpg

That dialogue has been listed in the Wiki for more than 2 years.

Try a VPN; it's helped some others. (Make sure it takes a _different_ path to the server.) Good luck.

Has anyone figured out a way around it to be fixed on our end before waiting for support to even respond with something that's helpful at all? A business that makes customers wait 12 hours or longer just to check what's going on is not good business. Here's a post from the Lead GM, Dornsigner:

The CS Team works 24/7 and 365 days a year. So, yes, they work on weekends. The Team allows (barring high volume of tickets) 72 hours to respond, individually, to tickets submitted.

Using any programs that might have an overlay? Such as Discord, etc.? Tried launching in Safe Mode (with internet capabilities)? If you continue to have issue, you can contact the Tech CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below and 'Submit a Ticket' for assistance. Good luck.

Does sound like what happens when one changes the Display Name. Again, it is of no real import.

Pretty sure you can send mail to offline characters; but, of course, maybe they just tried to whisper. Still, I think you get a different message, then. Whatever, just curious. /shrug

How can the idea be plausible if it does not take into account any of the associated issues? Would this new race only be allowed to interact with instanced story content? Would every 'Exalted' look exactly the same? If they all look the same, how would they use Gem Store items like Outfits and Backpacks? How does ArenaNet recoup the income loss? Are they barred from interacting with previous story content? Are they barred from using Mounts, as they float above everything? Would ArenaNet want to promote discouraging players from purchasing prior content? What about the Core Tyria content? Is that no longer included (at no cost) with a new expansion featuring this new race? If so, is this new expansion offered at a substantially lower cost? Does that reflect favorably on ArenaNet's bottom line? Just some things to consider.

Account Names are email addresses associated with game account. No matter. Just wondering why some players were having difficulty contacting you in-game. /shrug

What??? I still don't understand the concept, except it seems you are suggesting a third (neither Guild Wars nor Guild Wars 2) game. Something built from the ground up. I don't think that's in the cards; at least not a Guild Wars/Guild Wars2 mash-up.

One can't take characters from Guild Wars 2 to Guild Wars without rewriting Guild Wars completely; which would be another whole game. If PvP (fight games) were that popular in Guild Wars 2, then there would not be so many laments about the game mode's scarce population, and the studio would not have given up on esports.

It is easy to remove something from the game for everyone or change it for everyone. But I doubt they currently have a mechanic to re-lock unlocked skins and skills on specific accounts. > It's literally impossible from what devs have said and why if you accidentally bind a legendary you were going to sell, you're out of luck because they can't re-lock the skin. They also can't let you have the skin and gold from selling it so you get the weapon. The only exception to this seems to be the HoM skins and titles when the GW1 and GW2 servers can't communicate. > > You also raise a good point by bringing up racial armour. Either they'd have a 1:1 conversion of skins when a race change happens or they wouldn't and you'd have to re-buy racial skins to replace the ones you "lost". Either way, people will complain about Anet's decision and bother support over it. > > Race changes can't be enabled just flipping a switch since so much is tied to them that it would be a huge undertaking to add into the game. Even account name changes are possible (even though it can cause database issues) so it should tell people just how difficult-to-impossible race changes are when you can't even message support and have them do it if you agree to the potential risks that would happen. Account Name changes cause no issues, as only the player and ArenaNet are privy to that information. What causes issues is Display Name changes. I can't imagine what kind of bugs a race change would cause. Yikes!

Just curious, @OP...did you have a Display Name change? Happy to hear you found a Bounty train that took requests, as suggested.

So....a whole separate 3rd game? Because Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 are 2 different kinds of games, and not compatible. Not sure what 'fight gamepad use' is...are you suggesting a console game? Very confusing premise.

Your best bet is to try immediately after a patch/release when all maps (and events) are reset. Good luck.

Unlikely to occur, as many things in-game are tied to Race.
