_Wesa_ - Heavens Tear Arc User

You are most welcome! b:cute

I've not heard of anyone being banned for using a work around. I originally didn't bother with a work around myself, but after reading some things on the internet about arc, I decided I would. It's not any of them mentioned on here, though. Granted, I do not know if what I read about arc on the internet is true or not, but…

Someone has either been playing from day one launch of the game or they have way too much time on their hands. Or both, lol. b:laugh

This will enable a one time ability to log into pwi without arc starting up. The .dll file will rewrite itself once pwi is launched. You will have to delete the file before launching pwi every single time. There is a simple way to permanently prevent arc from starting when pwi is launched, without hacking the program or…

All mmo's. One has a personal storyline, in which the direction of some of my missions are determined by the choices I make. Very nice change from the norm. Offer's challenging endgame, PvP, and WvW content. It's a continuation of it's predecessor's storyline. I also played the predecessor and acquired carry-over…

We may not be able to help her with the issue of missing gear, but we can support her. Show pwe that, we as a community, their bread and butter, would like to see improvements in customer support and gm availability. But, it's probably all for naught, because I don't believe they care about their customers at all... that…

This only reenforces (for me) my decision to not spend any more money on this game. Granted, I never cash-shopped anything major... unless you count a flyer, invo and bank stones and pet bag as major. But I've become content to just play casually and enjoy the scenery and exploration. No end-game here and not in any hurry…

I stand corrected. My findings on the internet said it was an anti-cheat, so I was just repeating what someone else said it was. I haven't had a client crash in, like, forever, though, so I had forgotten all about them. Used to happen a lot right after American release in 2008.

You're welcome! I did forget to include pwprotector in the list, though. But denying it access through a firewall would not bypass it, by any means. It doesn't need internet access to do it's job. It's an anti-cheat/**** for the software, itself.

I agree! Some of the stuff we get with codes is very nice, but we used to be able to enter codes through the website (before Arc). I also agree that it is stupid scarey how various programs want so much access. Especially f2p games. PWI is the only f2p I am a member of. And, to be totally honest, I am only still a member…

Actually, I was referring to Arc's internet access upon install. New or returning players can't install or update PWI now without installing Arc first. Most of the executable's will ask for permission and, for someone not familiar with the program, that access will be allowed because they will want a successful install. I…

I appreciate your help. But I don't mind if the file is there while I am still a PWI player. I just want to make sure it is something that will go away or can be gotten rid off when I am no longer a member of the PWI community.

I'm done with you... Nothing you have said here even remotely applies to my original inquiry or anything else I have said (to you or the others), nor does any of it have any validation at all. I do read everything, not just skim... it is YOU who has misinterpreted what I have said (twisted it really). AND... I have been…

Thank you, I'll check the folder. But I'm really not looking to bypass ARC.

If you call accusing someone of having ulterior motives (intent to ****) for asking a question, then yes, you've been about as civil as that gets. I won't justify the crudeness of your attitude by responding to the in between stuff after this point. That's right, they don't have an obligation, but it doesn't change the…

Look, I appreciate you answering what you 'think' I am asking for... but I am NOT out to circumvent ARC. I just want to know where the little computer ID file is and whether or not it will be removed upon uninstall or if it will have to be manually removed. I'm not leaving the game any time soon... not planning on it…

It's far too easy to be accusing, rude, abusive, and even hateful when you can't see the person you're responding to, much less know the person. And while Microsoft may be sneaky about some things, they do supply information on the various files that are installed with Windows, and it's updates and other programs they've…

Yes, actually we do have a right to know where this file is and EXACTLY what it does besides identify a computer as being authorized by the player. That may be all it does, but it may not be. I choose to believe that is all it does if that is what the ARC developers say it does. In any case, it's a computer ID file and I…

I gave you the benefit of the doubt before I responded to you. I actually tried it. The client replaced the file. It's a .txt log file, not a working part of the client. Ao's suggestion works, perhaps you also removed that file and don't recall that you had done so. But, upon restarting ARC to use codes or what not, that…

If you read the TOS, it states the file is deposited on the players pc. Also, if you delete a file like that or edit it, the game replaces it. Don't call people noobs... it's not nice. >_>,

It doesn't bother me that the file is there as long as I am still playing the game enough to keep it installed, despite any long periods of inactivity, like I just had. I just want to know that the file is removed upon uninstall or can be removed manually should I ever decide to quit PWI completely. It would bother me to…

All class baby pets don't have to be fed. Only land mounts and battle pets.

I win again... I get 1-4 slices every 2 minutes. Quad-slot! b:sin Ok, I'm b:shutup !

HP Pavilion dv6 notebook pc x64 bit based pc AMD A8-3520M APU with Radeon HD graphics 1600 mhz, 4 cores, 4 logical processors. RAM 6gb PWI runs smooth, even on max graphics setting... Except in West Arch... then I lag a little. >_>, People need to spread out the Cat Shops a bit, lol.

Ages 13-16, I would define as impressionable children. Usually, in my experience, 17 and up are already into mature content, if not taught good morals earlier. PWI is not 'R' rated. It's PG13. PWE know's this and included the minimum age in the ToS. People need to keep chat on that level. However, I see a lot of XXX stuff…

I'm going to +1 this. It's the most sensible post, yet, on this subject. People need to remember, when using WC, that children do play this game. AND, many, maybe even most, adult players would prefer not to see such filth coming over chat. It shows a total lack of respect for your gaming peers to use such language and to…

I agree with the OP. Chat is getting very filthy. I'm not one for getting too offended by what is said in WC, because I can turn that off. But that stupid horn window is another issue. It's clean enough most of the time, but occasionally something offensive comes over in those HONKING HUGE and COLORED letters and I wish…

In that case, I'll do the same thing as I do on my white mage. I'll give such players a reason to QQ/rage... I won't heal/buff them at all and I won't remove their enfeebles, until they stick with the game plan AND the squad. I'm not going to let good players go unattended to watch the backs of those who think they can…

Call me a noob on this subject, but does that mean that those of use who downloaded the manual patch will have to do it again? Or is it a problem between the patch and the update client?

I haven't squaded my cleric with anyone and she is lv 50, atm. I have mostly just played the game by myself, so far. My concern with being a main healer is this: In another mmo I play a white mage on occasion, a healer. It's my most in-demand job... it and black mage (likened to a wizard). However, in larger groups, the…
