Guild Wars 2

Are you playing in fullscreen or windowed borderless mode? If I run WB in wvw my graphics are 30ish with occasional screantears. If I run it in fullscreen I get 60 easy

Pretty sure the OP was having a laugh with this thread, but some idiots took it way to seriously, and now look at this thread…

Asura Male Necromancer

While wearing the top hat there’s a line of different colour along the head that isn’t there when you disable the Top Hat. It’s quite ugly since it’s in full view

Thanks mate, I’ll check it out!

For reference: My Asura without the Top Hat, no colour difference on the head is visual whatsoever.

Hello all

I realise this won’t be very high on Anet’s priority list, but it’s been a bug ingame for so long now I can’t help but make a post about this.

As the image shows, Asura wearing a top hat have a very ugly visual bug, probably because of the hair disappearing, where there’s a clear line of color difference. In my case my Asura is bald anyway, so I’ll add another picture for reference.

Would be very much appreciated if perhaps someone of the Forum Team could pass this on to the devs.

Thanks up front!

Another patch and another evening of WvW lag, come on guys, we know it’s gonna happen, stop being surprised already

Let’s not forget the “guildraids”. Starting 2 hours after primetime so as not to encounter too much fights before the nightcap can begin, 3 guilds always running a minute behind each other, so when you’re fighting 20v20 and BB starts losing, they can quickly inc and win the now 70v20. highfive

First of all thanks indeed for working on this during holiday periods, and ofcourse Merry Christmas! I’m sending an e-mail with my log as we speak, but thought to post here as well.

Piken Square – (Stomp for Piken!)

I’m experiencing no fps drops whatsoever, running a steady 80 as always, however when I try to run, walk, dodge, I’m almost completely stuck in place, moving forward only very slightly and in a very strange way, as if I’m stuck in an invisible wall or something. Problem happened when I took five steps out of the Citadel Waypoint in Homeborder WvW btw, if that helps

Thanks again!

And Good Luck to you finding a game better then gw2, or even close to it. See you soon!

The sad thing is, everything the OP has said is true, the game is great but the amount the developers care for WvW is sickening.

They do what they can, the only one that can resolve the problem is yourself, you play where you like more.

You remind me of myself some time ago. Back when I still believed things would turn around for the better, and the devs would do something about our situation… Good times…

I’ve come to realise the cold truth though, that is that the OP is right, all the things he stated are absolutely right, and alot of them have been in a problem for two years now. Though it’s not only the lack of content and fixes to problems, let’s face it. It’s the lack of contact with us, the community, and the horrible PR department that are major problems too.

All of these problems need to be adressed, and if they are doing the best they can like you say they are, implying they can’t do it better, than I’m very sorry for that, because it’s not enough. This game deserves better. This community deserves better. And if they can’t do better, I’m sorry it’s they who are doing it and not people who can in fact do better. So I sincerely hope they can do better and will do better in the future. But after two full years, a bunch of “excited” statements about “excited” new features that turn out to be a bust and promises that were made and -not broken but- ignored, I’m sure enough to say that those times won’t come.

Why doesn’t this have a red post? I know you guys are busy, but I’m sure everyone, or mostly everyone, would agree that when you want to hear our opinion on the living story, what you can improve on, or if we have ideas, you can ask Shriketalon, cause as with all his topics, he says exactly what we are thinking.

Strategist.6132:

Hello fellow GW2 players,

I think it’s a good idea to not respond on this topic anymore unless you have some new information. Everyone doesn’t like waiting but posting mad posts will not change anything. Let’s just wait patiently and hope we’ll get what we have been waiting for.

~ Patience is a nice virtue

Although I agree angry rants don’t take us anywhere, not posting here is a terrible idea. The moment this topic’s popularity fades, people will start to forget about it and the exact same thing will happen with these rewards as the season 1 rewards. Absolutely nothing.

I’ve refrained from posting on here so far, but now that patch tuesday has past without even a red post, I’m not expecting anything before july. That said we can’t let this fade into the background, or we won’t even see something come out of this next year.

Thanks for this Konig, hadn’t thought about looking there. Well I think lorewise they definitely exist, but we may have never seen them. I’ll just run with this though, so thanks again.

Hey all

Was wondering whether we have some information about the sigil or emblem from the Arcane Eye or if not, the Peacemaker one.
I just want to know for roleplaying reasons.

Thanks in advance!

This has probably been said alot of times already, but this thread is so huge I’m just gonna give another voice to it.

We recently did our guild missions, puzzles, rush etc etc etc, and everytime it took us almost an hour before people were on the same map. I’m pretty sure that’s not how it’s supposed to work, and that there’s some huge tweaking needed here. people had to pop in and out of maps, whilest llooking for ou tags so they’d know whether they were in the right map or not, all the while people who were right had to wait. please come up with a way to fix this, because for me personally, I’d rather revert to the old system than keep using this, as for me and alot of my friends it created more nuissance than it solved

I totally agree with the OP that the biggest point the writers should work at is making sure the Living world makes the Living Story, and not the other way around like it is now. Nothing in the world is alive, because nothing in the world influences the story. We want to see race politics, rivalry, jealousy, intrigue, and i agree that THE way to do that is get rid off the pact.

The pact is this organisation, better than anything else, that hangs over all the nation’s heads, making it impossible to have thi level of intrigue. Because of that I advice and beg, make the countries/races fight the ED’s. And don’t let them have each other’s back all the time, that’s a kid’s story. Let them turn their backs on each other etc etc etc. intrigue is key imo, and frankly the story, how much i love(d) it, misses alot of it

Wow I’m sensing a lot of hostility among some off you guys aha, these are just theories guys. Fair enough that some are hinted at more than othes, and some have more proof than others, but until Anet confirms them, they are nothing more than theories and although one might be more likely than the other, they are all equal (imo)

I say this cause i hate it when someone goes through all the effort to put up a theory like this, and someone else tells him they’re wrong and to insert profanity here

That said and done, I like your theory konig, about there being someone else who wants to use the ED and therefor manipulated Scarlet into waking them, but what you might have briefly not thought about, cause I’m sure you know, is that ingame, we don’t know about mordremoth. not his name, and i don’t think his existance either. And we ourselves shouldn’t have either but we do because of the initial “teeth of mordremoth” at the COE. So in my opinion that’s why the players and taime mention ED’s plural, because they don’t know which one she’s targeting and don’t know either there are more than they currently know off.

Just my take on it. I’d love to see it happen though, your theory. But unfortunately experience learns me that your, and the community’s in general, theories are waymore exciting than what Anet actually comes up with. The fate of a lore and storycrafter i guess ^^

Indeed, complaining that fast is indeed a skill!

On topic though, I like the new Atlas alot, because i can see, or atleast think i can see, where they wanna take this. This will be a great place for new players to catch up on what happened before, and just a fun way to introduce now LS.

I don’t know what you exactly expected Arnath, but imo the Atlas has a huge potential, yes potential. It’s good, not great; but they can take it there. Insert links to the wiki, dates and timeframes when things happened perhaps…

I don’t think it should at all be accesable ingame, cause it’s not intended as a tool to use ingame, rather, like the forums or wiki, as something extra to discover new things, or an easy way to go back and find something when storycrafting (eventually)
It’s not supposed to link to your account and show you your map completion etc imho, that would ruin it

Hi all

I have a suggestion towards future updates, now i don’t nkow if it’s a repost. If it is, please forgive me but i checked and didn’t find anything

Now for the actual suggestion: I always thought it was annoying that you couldn’t see (select) a character by clicking in the ingame chat. Like if someone was asking to join for ac, i think you should be able to press “view character” or something similar and then the info with his lvl etc would be displayed on top, as if you saw him in game and clicked on him.

Now i first thought it would be better to have an account based profile but that would be pretty lore breaking and lots of people, including myself, like to roleplay rfom time to time or atleast like to keep everything correct lorewise, so maybe a character based profile would be better.

Anyway thanks for overhearing me and I’ll see you ingame

indeed, thanks again

I completely uninstalled and reinstalled his ATI video card and the problem is solved so thanks llithis

He has an intel i3 2.93ghz with 6gb ram and an ATI Radeon HD 5450
I’ll check for updates, thanks for the suggestion

Hi all

My friend is experiencing some major issues when playing gw2.
Fair enough, his computer isn’t great, but still he shuold be able to play at a better rate then this since i have played on computers which are alot worse.

He doesn’t lag at all and i tried everything from best to worst graphics and everything in between. I took some screens to show you guys the problem since it’s quite hard to define, but i think it has to do with the rendering of basically everything.

Thanks up front!

Oh let the poor sod be, i know he’s wrong, you know he’s wrong, we all know he’s wrong. If screaming nonsense on about our servers makes him happy, i say let him

Kuull.3147:

Well, first off I’m on Fissure of Woe. To all the people that’re giving negative comments such as “oh, we’re bad, so bad” etc – is just plain ignorant. Yes, there’s bad players. You can’t say there isn’t any in your servers, now can you?

The point of the thread is. Vabbi + Fissure of Woe are outnumbered by a couple of hundred. These two servers are on “medium” population. The others are on very high. I’m not sure of how much difference there is in number. But you can definitely see it in WvW.
So you’re saying the whole server is bad just because the other server outnumbers you 5 to 1, hell even 10 to 1. Which seems not that exaggerated.

Within the first hour when the restart occurred – they already had the whole place taken over… Now you’re telling me that we’re just plain bad? Go write such absurd kitten somewhere else.

Many people know that WvW is unbalanced at this moment, and always was. But something need to be done about it. If we can provide valid and decent suggestions. Which really could change the balance of WvW is at this very moment. Why not do so?

Vabbi and FoW were bad before they were outmanned. There’s a reason they’re in T9.

Now they’re bad and outmanned. There’s a reason awful players in higher tiers are told to go back to Vabbi…..

Sorry for double post but i just wanted to say that vabbi and FoW were always outnumbered, although now more then ever. I would REALLY like to see how you handle WvW being outnumbered 5 to 1 when you’re lucky, 10 to 1 when you’re not

And to all the people saying just switch server, you should think about it, that that’s almost an impossible idea, since that would mean asking thousands of people to pay just to enjoy the game in the same way as other people do, who by sheer coincidence picked the right server. If Anet thinks this would solve things they should make transfering free for some time i think, atleast for our servers.

I agree with you, but switching server isn’t THAT impossible. Around 10 golds to switch to a medium server isn’t so much. Believe me, if you are serious about wvw, this is the best way to spend 10 golds.

PS: And I don’t know about your group, but I can ensure you that playing wvw in an organized guild/group is 100 times the fun.

We do alot of organised WvW too, and it is very fun, hence the fact I still do WvW. I know it isn’t that much, but the simple idea of us needing to pay for something you experience as normal just isn’t right. Besides i have alot of server love, everyone has for their server i think (or atleast hope) That combined with the fact i don’t want to build an entirely new friend and guild base on a new server tells me that for most of us, merging vabbi, FoW and maybe even WSR would be the (imho) best solution.

I’m also from FoW and would never ever ever change that, but still i think something needs to be done. I still enjoy WvW with awesome Guildees and even better friends, but still, if you see an 80+ peeps zerg steamroll through a tower and onwards to the next, which is manned with ten peeps, i’ll confess, i was kinda intimidated haha.

So yeah i think the idea of merging Vabbi, FoW and WSR is a good idea, better then letting peeps join us for free because let’s be honest, nobody from T6 or more is going to T9.

And about the pact between Vabbi and FoW, i don’t know if it still stands now, because yesterday evening Some 20 Vabbi peeps invaded our borderlands, and tried to cap to towers so yeah, that was quite a funny sight (no bad word about Vabbi, they have the biggest problem of all)

I’m from FoW as well and first of all i would thank everyone for their support, and to everyone who says we’re bad, well I dare you to face us with the same amount of players we have Yesterday evening we were able to vlear halve of our borderlands because arbor “only” outnumbered us 3 to 1. Then i guess someone shouted out at arbor because in the next ten minutes we were back at our spawning point since we were outnumbered 20 to 1. Now this may seem exagerated, but i can guarantee that when you took a tower with 5 or 6 peeps, and you see a carpet of red arbor names steamrolling over to you, i confess i was quite intimidated. In about one minute there were 50 peeps through the gate while atleast another 50 ran past to the next keep.

I don’t really have a suggestion about how we could work on this, but please try and fix this, just so we know you’re working on it. I still have fun at WvW but that’s solely because we do it with some friends, not because of the game itself, how it should be.

And to all the people saying just switch server, you should think about it, that that’s almost an impossible idea, since that would mean asking thousands of people to pay just to enjoy the game in the same way as other people do, who by sheer coincidence picked the right server. If Anet thinks this would solve things they should make transfering free for some time i think, atleast for our servers.

Well i decided to make both and get them both to let’s say 30? and then decide what to do with them.

I know thieves aren’t up, especially not in wvw, or pve, but then again, it all depends on your build and playstyle. I certainly am not the guy who will say “and that class sucks and that one too…” because i play a necro too, and boy do i love that one haha

So thanks or your opinions, the only reason i would still go ranger would be if the wvw fun outweighs basically everything but i doubt that. Although i must say that the wolf looks amazingly epic next to my Asura

Thanks again!

Haha, like roleplaying then? I know right, that’s why i would like to see how a wolf looks next to an Asura. I would love it if he was like about the same hight

Greetings Geniuses

First of all i know there are multiple topics similar to mine, and i checked them all out but couldn’t get myself a satisfying answer (which is rather strange since our IQ’s are all 4 digit ones)

So down to business, after a Guardian Asura and Necro Asura, i thought it about time to make myself a medium armored Asura. Now engineer is in my opinion not an option for obvious reasons, so i am considering both thief and ranger.

Now i would like to hear your opinion on both professions, both as a profession and linked with our (most superior) race, Asura. I plan on playing mostly PvE and dungeons, with some guildrelated WvW, but no PvP at all.

Thanks up front!

Oh and if anyone has a pic of an Asura Ranger with a Wolf as pet (the one from WvW) i would really like to see that, since that would be the pet i would go for. I would like to see the height ratio between the two though

Doomguard.5094:

Mounts should be like the flying broom is now, no extra speed and no available skills. Purely cosmetic.

You sir, are my hero for saying that
I salute you!

AstralDusk.1670:

How many bookahs does it take to install a polyphotonic emitter?

Three: One to hire an asura, and one to call a medic for the third.

that was amazingly funny

We should have more of these

I have the same problem and I’m a female Guardian, so i don’t think it’s profession related either. And I would like a fix for this too, since it’s quite the buzzkill when you (or i) want to take some classy pictures

Liquid Storm.8097:

As far as FoW is concerned, we’re doing quite well atm. It’s always nice, funny and a bit sad to see Arborstone [FR] retreat even though they always seem to outman us at least 5:1 in every map. I’ll never forget Friday’s battle for Dawn’s tower when they took down our wall and tried to get a huge zerg through it, only to be stunned/immobilized & massacred by 5 of our ballistas and ele AoE. That day I got 42 badges of honor in less than 30 seconds.

People say FoW is dying out in terms of WvW. That’s not how I look at it. Considering we are always outmanned and still manage to hold enough structures to end a week with 100k+ points, I think FoW is doing great given the circumstances.

I know right, sure most of the time, the french would beat us back because of their huge numbers, but we didn’t care. It’s been extremely long since I had this much fun in wvw, simply because it was a long time since i played it.

One moment them french had us pinned down 10 to 1, and i realised, we weren’t backing away. We simply didn’t need to… Then i was like, hey, we can maybe even win this. Now, no, we lost, but not after we killed about 90% of their zerg.

So yeah i used to be sick of wvw because of our lack in numbers and morale. Now, i might take it up again. Altough some argued it was because we were fighting the french (not meant offensive) but it just raised the morale. Maybe they should do this more often. Like EU vc American servers?

I would love to join that guild!
I can run Arah as a guardian only currently, but am quickly lvling my necro to 80 too.
Name is Arya Praeventores and Umbrus Evocatoris.
I am however a complete and utter noob at Arah dungeon runs because me guild doesn’t do them, but am a quick learn so i would be a happy man if i got some good teachers

Thanks savant, you made my day!

Haha uhm this probably be a forum joke and I’m making myself incredibly ridiculous by asking but who or what is Panzer? :P

Hi everyone, I’m sorry if this is a repost, but i can’t find it anywhere, so here goes

One of my favourite asura is definitely warmaster efut, and i hoped to get her armor on my guardian. Now i know it’s vigil armor and the colours would be celestial and abyss, but i can’t seem to find the blue dye. Any help?

Thanks up front!

As a race i agree only the Tengu and Kodan are viable options, since all the other races (that are allready ingame) are lesser races. Unless they add a completely new race ofcourse.

Kodan would be my personal choice because i like their spiritual side combined with their brute force-like appearence. That, and they’re talking polar bears, i mean, who doesn’t like that?

The only profession i want to see added would be a third soldier class, and i agree it should be a more “evil” or dark class. But it should be a completely new class and not a mash up of two old classes.

Because of that i was thinking something in the line of a blood mage with heavy armor, or a devil worshipper, who would have shapeshifting / demonsummoning attacks. Not demons or shapeshifting like ranger or necro pets, but more like mesmer phantasms but not as AI but as attack. Think like the ranger greatsword attacks which have an animal animation over them. Like that, but with demons.

So a very dark yet more religious or spiritual profession. And definitely heavy armor!
