The game uses megaserver technology to bring people together, meaning you can get people from multiple servers on your map.
oh my sweet, naive, summer child
@OP:
I’m afraid you can’t choose who you play, or not play, with.
I would agree with you, I personally like to style all my characters in a “normal” fashion (albeit normal to the world, so it’s still fancier than a lord of the rings level of realistic) but I avoid over the top, unrealistic, or weirdly designed equipment. And I hate.. no.. I Loathe people who use arbitrarily immersion-ruining gliders like the SAB clouds
What has ANet said in response to your support ticket?
still waiting for that
Well, running at lowest graphics doesn’t help
“Warforged” is not a word. War-forged, though, is a term or expression. As such, you can copyright “warforged”. Copyright laws are also really weird, as “The Banner Saga” was being sued by King publishing (the creator of Candy Crush Saga, among other games with the Saga name) because they used the term “Saga” in their title. Now yes, having it as the title is slightly different than just naming a race or class of people after it, but similar problems can arise. Even a simply lawsuit can take a long time, and it could have delayed the release of Path of Fire if someone claimed they had a copyright on “warforged”. As I said, copyright law is weird and kind of outdated, but can have wide-reaching consequences.
Sounds like petty people being petty.. kind of
It probably would be better, but I have a sneaking suspicion that WOTC might have trademarked/copyrighted Warforged. Calling them simply ‘Forged’ sidesteps that.
“Battleforged” might work as an alternative, depending on how securely WOTC has it tied down…
I don’t know what WOTC is, but i doubt you can trademark a word.
I mean, you have a design with a name, you can trademark that, but you can’t trademark just a word. Draenei, for example, is a really unique name, can’t copy that. Just like Mursaat. But things like knights, warforged, paladins, those words are hard to trademark, and you can only really sue a copier if their design and/or theology is similar.
Warforged is a word, not a name. Just like Wednesday. Its an uncommon, but normal name. As long as you don’t literally remake Wednesday Adams you’re not breaking any copyright/trademark laws.

nah i understand the creator of this thread and agrre to it. you did buy Hot already and to lock hot content after you buyed it after a next paywall is realy not so good ….
if the would bring it as an dlc with some extras it would be ok but only story/mini map …. thats b.s.
When was LS3 HoT content? Its clearly a balthazar prologue.
If you said LS2 that would’ve made sense. I seriously think LS2 shouldve been bundles into HoT special edition, and LS3 shoulve been bundled into PoF special edition.
agreed, it makes zero sense to lock new content, that employees worked to generate, behind a paywall. After all, i paid for the first Harry Potter movie, why should have to pay again to see part 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7a and 7b?
You can always use TacO, it lets players make their own markers
I’m not sure where you get that raids take 3 hours, they take as long as you need.
When I pug, I can do 1 to 3 bosses in an evening, depending on the general stupidity of the masses (how people with 150 LI still don’t know how vale guardian works is beyond my cognition).
When I join my friend’s dedicated group, we do Wing 1, 2, 3 and sometimes start wing 4 on a single evening.
powershell scan:
both windows and my HDD are without faults..
out of options here.. why does my pc suddenly not have enough power when gw2 runs???
So I checked my event logs and I got the following error:
Source: Kernel Power
ID: 41
Task: 63
Level: Critical
Information: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
From this I can conclude that when GW2 runs, the system suddenly doesn’t have enough power anymore. That seems weird, considering I can run GTA5, overmodded skyrim, and other games, just fine.
Overall, the game extremely, and i mean hello kitty wonder island adventures easy, fractals at tier 4 will require you not to slack, and raids will require you to optimize gear.
You can either:
A. Do nothing
B. report them, which has the same effect as A.
C. Do as you please, fight harder, or throw the match as well
Well… if you’re gonna judge the quality of a game on wether you can have a physical disc or not.. i don’t know really know how to reply to that.
Ps, apparently HoT still had physical discs, but i think they quit on that since revenue was too little.
I would say Chalice of Tears is an extremely easy jumping puzzle, where all it’s difficulty stems from unfair jumps and not a clear way to go.
If all else fails, try downloading the overlay TacO, and then upload Tekkit’s Workshop.
For all season 3 JP Tekkit has made a detailed path to follow in the jumping puzzles. A line you can follow so you know exactly where to go.Some may call it cheating, well, if anet made a vertical wall walkable, and a flat surface slippery, then I say there’s no cheating that doesn’t value the cause

Nonono. Not in the slightest.
Ill raise you one higher, a gw2 dev even shared Tekkit’s workshop on their official facebook page
After core release they quit making hardcopies of the game.
Buying a code and upgrading your acount, and thus your launcher, is the only way to play HoT and PoF. There’s no more discs or the like
To be honest, I find the requirements for the Radiant and Hellfire sets to be quite ludicrous to begin with. To complete just a single set (including the back item) you need 39 000 AP. Even for a player who has played since launch, this is a massive undertaking, in fact in the five years since the game has been out, not a single player has yet to reach that milestone.
The top player in Europe currently has 35 016 AP. And the top in the US has 35 026. If we consider the possibility that these players have probably burned through a majority of the achievements and reached their caps for daily/monthly achievements, it means even just getting the last 4 000 AP to finish the set might take quite a significant amount of time.
The other issue is that these players likely already benefited from the significant amounts of AP one could acquire during temporary events, such as most of Living Story Season 1, or other events such as the Queens Gauntlet, Dragon Bash or Zephyrite Sanctum, which are all no longer available. So, it goes without saying that for newer players who might have missed those events, the task would seem even more enormous.
To put it bluntly, you’re looking at a set that could take years to complete, easily well over five years and possibly much more than that for newer players who cannot get AP’s as easily as we could in the past. It’s such a massive, overwhelming feat that I wouldn’t be surprised if even the most hardcore players simply wrote it off completely, and did not even bother to consider it.
In my opinion, if you create a reward that not even your absolute best or most dedicated players can get after 5 years, then something is seriously wrong. Lol.
5 years of active playing netted me 21.5k AP,
Ive nearly dried up all adequate pvp andvpve achievements, have resorted to buying minis for more. I missed a lot of LS1 due to internships, and thats AP we’ll never see again.
If instead of:
1 shoulder
The other shoulder
1 helmet
The other helmet
We would just get a Radiant Armor Box or a Hellfire Armor Box, i would be happy, then I’d have 6 hellfire pieces now, and 1 radiant piece. Instead I have 4 hellfire pieces and 3 radiant pieces.
And whats weird is, no one has reached the old cap yet, but theyve already made backpieces, titles, and pinacle weapons for after that..
The game might well be finished before we get there

to get the chestpiece though…my god that AP Requirement.. been here since beta and only have 11k AP o_O
That’s kinda your fault for not doing any AP tbf though
I mean, its not like they really just throw it at you either, alot of the stuff i have left is either grinding or spending massive amounts of money(dwayna collection and such) for a very small pay out.
Plus, ive been busy with RL. I fully expect to be behind everyone else and im perfectly fine with that. I do what i enjoy in the game and ive maxed out the AP i can gain in most of that content(just started doing fractals though)
Well Back then they did tbh lol.. You could easily earn around 200 odd from the seasons etc
However.. I will agree that the pay out – often for the work involved is….hmm.. very minor and very off putting.
Im not saying they should be huge, but when you go through a lot of work – or gold… and all you get is 5AP.. yer.. it’s like…why should i even bother.
lately there seems to be a trend that the longer and harsher collections, reward the least AP.
Like an entire dungeon track, 3 AP..
Though I hate SAB with every fibre in my body, the hard mode maps do offer a skritt ton of APs. I only have to do the last world next april and then that’s done. Hopefully wintersday and halloween will have a few new achievements, although I shouldn’t be hoping for more than 50-100 I guess
Lately, quite often, whenever I play gw2 at random times it will cause my pc to crash.
By that I mean, screen starts blanking like there’s no video input, and the lights of my keyboard and mouse go off. But the fans in my pc keep spinning, so it’s not entirely off.
The reason I’m posting it here is because.. this is a GW2 only problem. Fallout 4, Skyim-SE, and other fancy games like GTA 5 still run fine, the problem is completely restricted to GW2. I have done a complete re-install of the game, to no avail.
I have a 2500k i5 3.3ghz cpu, 2×8 RAM, and a nVidia 1060gtx.
All drivers are updated, and reinstalled.
I’ve done all the downtown abbey troubleshooting, so I’m looking for more suggestions to check here. Thanks in advance
I’m assuming at this early stage that these are the souls from Balthazar’s realm, put into artificial bodies so they can come to the ‘real’ world. (this is just speculation, they could be complete robots or whatever).
I’m gonna be a bit nitpicky about the name, here, though.
When I see Balthazar, and I think massive warmongers, brutes, and titans of the battlefield. And the guys in design are pretty cool. Some of them feel a little small, but thats okay.
I feel like their name doesn’t do them much justice, though. When I saw them in the beta, I thought “forged, hmm.. okay, sure, probably, since they are ‘forged’ as is”.
But then I kinda started calling them Warforged, dunno why, it’s the first thought in my head, and I started using the name Warforged so much people occassionally were correcting me. Now, I just wanted to ask here, do more people think Warforged would’ve been a way more catchy name than just Forged? Especially since it’s Balthy’s artchy we’re dealing with, here
I agree, necro is completely broken, just like the warrior, give them a buff already!!
Well, here’s to hoping Path of Fire comes with a big bowl of APs
Judging from the demo weekend, it won’t. The achievements followed the same path as HoT, giving out pitiful amounts of AP
Nraagh.. ive already run out of conceivable achievements.. everything’s long hard work for 1-3 points now……
And ill soon have pvp maxed out..
I despise wvw for every synonym in the bible, but if thats the last place with ap left..
I missed a lot of LS 1 due to an internship.. so thats “dead AP”
21.5k AP now, i still need 17.5k AP more, i doubt PoF will have even half that
(edited by Amaimon.7823)
But unlike the OP, I wouldn’t suggest a nerf. I would suggest a story mode where you get a completion and are able to experience the story but save the reward (skin, etc.) for the regular mode. This would actually benefit both the hardcore players and the more casual players: a lot of hardcore players have complained that the boss fights are already too easy (as you have). This is often because the original fight was nerfed which would not have to be done if there was an easy mode.
And what about average players who think the story bosses fights are fine as they are right now?
They, like me, will then do ‘normal mode’
Story mode: easy mode, only dialogue, no rewards
Normal mode: as they are now
Hard mode: 5 man raids, disabled cutscenes/dialogues
Well, here’s to hoping Path of Fire comes with a big bowl of APs
I’m having the same problem now.
Pc works fine, but playing gw2 causes my pc to freeze for 2-3 seconds and then it shuts of (fans keep spinning so its not entirely off)
You should help one another. Let the players do their dailies and get their 2 gold. In the end we all voted for SoloQ a while ago. There you have it: afk players, all kinds of players, and fast SoloQ for dailies.
Ranked isn’t exactly the place to mess around and do dailies
never the less since you do not make the games rules and set dailies at all .
dailies are included with pvp like it or not . and in many ways I can see it being a good thing
but yet with all the kitten stuff going on it makes it more harder to just do daily’s
as fast as possible . and for me the really big turn off besides all the other stuff is the end of pvp games part which is another problem add to the current pvp problems .
You misunderstand me, I never said people shouldn’t do pvp dailies, i said that ranked queue was not the place to mess around, if you play seriously you can get your dailies while playing seriously. But if you play pvp solely for the dailies without putting in effort, we have an unranked queue where you can mess around.
I dont make the rules, but theres a reason your neighbor doesnt join the olympics, hell ruin his own mood and that of others

A small comment on one point, I personally don’t believe it’s possible for malchor to be Grenth’s father, because grenth was already there when Malchor got personal with Dwayna
Not sure where you got that from. Was it DR’s statue of Grenth? If so, they changed the quote from Malchor to Desmina a long time ago (during Season 1).
This is an odd change because if Malchor did make that sculptor, why the need to change it? It would only need to be changed if it was contradicting canon lore. Which would mean that Malchor was not the one who made Grenth’s statue.
Afaik, the gods came to Malchor, with the request to carve their statues, which he did, and he saved Dwayna for last, so I never deemed it possible for him to carve the statue at the Silent Cathedral for a god that had yet to be conceived at that point. I have never heard anything of other sculptors, but obviously no statue outside Orr was carved by him, except the many bad statues of dwayna that drove him insane
Skin Rewards based on AP are probably one of the most incongruent things in the whole game.
A game which is base on farming and aesthetic, which somehow rewards you with skins ( fortunately are just 2 kind of weapon skins and 2 armor ) which can’t be obtained through farming nor tp, it’s really senseless.
Let’s be clear, i think it’s not a big dead since we are talking about 1 or 2 skins… but why?
Many, many achievements are pure farming. Just look at the weapon master achievements (95’001 kills in total) or Agent of Entropy (25’500 items salvaged), the rare collections… If you want lots of AP, you have to do some serious farming.
Yea, i accepted that five years ago, as i said I’ve been grinding AP for five years now. The frustration is that you have to work on two armour sets simultaneously. You can’t earn hellfire without earning radiant armour.
So, it’s like saying
A slayer achievement and a weapons master achievement, whose tiers must be done alternately.
Or every 5000 salvages for Entropy you must do a different grind first

Any tips to get into 99cm without the title?
I killed the first 2 bosses, and had a few good runs on Encollyss, but since I dont have the title no one wants me,
Apparantly linking legendary armor is no proof of skill either.
I’ve tried making my own parties but no one wants to join a party with a titleless “noob”.Anyone any tips to still get into 99cm?
If you are on eu whisper me we could pug it ez.
Yea, im on EU
My forum acount is not my main though,
You can find me on either Nikeita or Rumerris as ingame names,
Ill try to add you as well

Let’s be clear, i think it’s not a big dead since we are talking about 1 or 2 skins… but why?
Its not a catastrophe, i have flame citadel chestpiece to cover up in meantime. But the problem is, that’s clearly metal, and not rock.
Alternately i tried the leyrock armour, but the glowth is fixed blue, if i could dye the glow red that would’ve worked
Can’t you choose between radiant and hellfire?
yes, but not the type of armour. So the first time you can choose which helmet you get, then a few chests later you get the other one.
So you get both helmets, both gloves, etc…
So you have 5 radiant armour pieces before you have a full set of hellfire.
So I’ve been wanting to make a destroyer themed character. The only reliable method of having a fiery rocky armour is the hellfire suit. Primordus weapons, etc, flame citadel chest in the meantime, got petty far, recently got the boots. I’m not a RP person, but i got thing for destroyers, a gw1 love i suppose.
But now my frustration kicks in, 5 chests in i can see in gonna get the radiant boots.
Why?
I dont want radiant boots.
Radiant armour is not my thing.
Why must i complete the radiant armour set along with the hellfire set?
Now i have 7 pieces, of which only 4 are hellfire. And i gotta finish the radiant boots and radiant legs before i get access to the hellfire chestpiece.
Again, why? You can strip all this radiant armour from my wardrobe, i don’t want it, i don’t need it.
I’m here for hellfire.
It’s like locking all dungeon armours per set. First you must unlock all gloves, then you may unlock all shoulders, etc.
Makes no sense to me. And I’ve been working hard on achievements for 5 years, but alas, radiant armour is so bright its not a light at the end of the tunnel, it’s so bright the tunnel is invisible and i keep bumping my toes into the walls yelling *QUAGGAN!!

I checked the dialogue script, there is no mention of Kormir anywhere in the entire story, other than the pressence of a Priestess of Kormir,
I think you might have misheard a piece of dialogue? I also think it’s extremely unlikely Livia would not know who Kormir is, given how actively involved she was with krytan politics for the past 250 years
I can tell you that match throwers have personally told me that they dont mind being reported since anet doesnt do anything with the reports. These throwers get reported constantly and dont feel incentive to stop throwing matches
[sarcasm]
Because no one suggested there should be a seperate queue for
1v4v5 and 5v5
[/sarcasm]
(Yes, solo queue is also you against your own team in many cases)
High end pve has improved, quite a lot
Anet has spend more resources (or better allocation of limited resources)
Hence we got new fractals, with challenge modes,
And raids, of which a few bosses have extra hard mode.
Other than that, pvp and wvw are a wreck, so only do that if you want a specific reward.
All else, the story of Living World Season 3 is just finished, so if you didnt log in at all since youll b missing that, sadly
You have to glide from the branches across the canyon, onto his platform, otherwise it doesnt trigger. I suppose theres two invisible rings you must pass through
Personally, im done with Temple and Nifhel, so if I can blacklist them I’ll be happy,
But on the downside, if it means 15 minutes queue every round Ill rather play on maps Im done with
Or they start messing with dragon magics, colliding it with leyline magic to create a supersource of energy, until a Sylvari facerolls the controls and creates a Maguuman Fukushima..
Speaking of which, whatever happened to the inquest’ hexogonal collider after we took down Kudu. I get he was in charge of that krewe, but the inquest pumped so many resources and money/time into the collider I can’t believe they let a kreweleader’s death be the end of it
The encumberence of runes and sigils is being answered in PoF by unidentified gear.
That said, the problem of cluttered inventories still persist in core and HoT.
It would be great to have a magical boon on the copper salvage kit.

"salvaging using this kit yields no runes or sigils, but unbound magic and a chance at extra Essence of Luck_"
I thought this was gonna be a suggestion to literally but waypoints. Spend 25g on one way point and forever port there for free.
But yes, as moarchaos says you can ask friends to teleport somewhere, after which you use a Teleport To Friend
WoodenPotato doing a negative ‘review’ before launch and thus not being able to do a proper review is rude and mean.
Oh yes, feedback-criticism is rude and mean. Instead, lets wait for everyone to finish their products with all their flaws until we’re allowed to comment on them.
Its also worth noting that failed to deliver doesnt mean the same as a missed oppertunity, and what WP points out are mostly missed oppertunities. And I say I agree with most of them, but some of them I have accepted under the image that anet is understaffed, moreso than unwilling to provide. Maybe if anet had more resources/staff they could implement these things. That said, i dont believe that once an expansion is out, you should stop adding to it.
Theres no reason to still make mount emotes, or a mount pen, or anything else, and deliver it later than the expansion release.
And with that, i believe that things like build savers are maybe not so much expansion content, as they are mechanical updates that can be generated on its own (like the quarterly patch)

…You’ve got a point. Could be an oversight on Anet’s part though, cause its still weirdly coincidental that Malchor and Grenth’s father are very similar. I suppose it could be that Dwayna has a type.
There is one scenario that makes it possible, and that’s that Malchor and Dwayna were already frisky a long time ago, and several years later, Dwayna asked him to make the statues, although that still leaves me raising some eyebrows.
I mean, it was Dhuum and Balthazar’s father who were gods at tree time of coming to Tyria, right
