Guild Wars 2

Whenever I do big pack of defending missions (e.g meta event Tarir City Defend), the graphics will just go absurd and transform into bizarre shapes and colour. After graphics go crazy, the game crashes in few minutes. Yes, it is a Mac Client which is obviously more unstable than PC. I tried everything: lowering down the specs and resolutions.
Anyone experiencing similar thing and how to deal with it for good?

If you don’t know difference between outfits and skins, well then, so be it.

Pretty sure Wanze was referring to these 3 skins, available in game (outside of the gemstore) :

Interesting to point out that once again, these armour pieces are just head, shoulders and gloves. Like Wanze said, chest and legs are a clip-fest waiting to happen. I can think of a few gem-store armour sets that have been just head, shoulders and gloves (and in one case, feet). Lawless, shadow of the dragon, Scarlet’s, Toxic… perhaps there are more.

Also, head, shoulders and gloves are pretty gender-netural (and apart from gloves, race-neutral too). Chest and leg pieces probably take the longest to design because there need to be multiple different designs to accomodate both male and female forms. I would imagine that there would be some altering (or lengthy design process) to ensure that a chest piece looks good on both the skinniest sylvari and the burliest norn.

What Wanze said in his previous posts (regarding clipping) is also very true. Outfits are far easier to make than full armour sets. My guess is that they also sell better because they’re slightly cheaper and any armour class can use them. Outfits appear as regularly as they do because they’re easier to make. You certainly can’t expect to see 3 armour skins in-game (one for each weight) in the same time you can expect to see one new outfit.

PS: To quote somebody, you hit the “quote user” button (looks like an arrow on the bottom right of the person’s post). You then get led to a proper reply box page (instead of the quick reply box you see at the bottom of the thread page). You can then write whatever you want underneath the text that’s already there. You don’t need to have the quote and your response in separate posts.

EDIT: Looks like you got your responses and learnt how to quote properly in the time it took me to write my response. Oh well. :P

For quoting, that’s what i did in the end for proper replying to stop exchanging meaningless provoking. And for armour… come on it’s been over 3 years. They could have added at least 1 or 2 armour skins. I just felt like they are becoming lazier compared to very first season. If they’ve decided not make skins anymore, it cannot be helped but just like I’ve said few clippings do not matter as they are unavoidable.

3 new armor skins and 4 new weapon skins earned in game during halloween was quite an improvement compared to earlier festivals.

Anet is really into weapon skins that’s for sure. 3 armour skins is fine too, though they are not full armour sets. I remember there were standard lvl 80 exotic gears with mad king runes with no visual difference.

I know the difference and i was talking about the new halloween skins.

If you dont know how to quote, so be it.

Oh and as far as I know, there are no other Halloween skins beside weapons and separate shoulder skins which of course are not whole armour sets that I was referring to.

You dont need whole armor sets, if you want to mix and match.
There was a helmet, shoulder and glove skin released with halloween.
Good luck.

Ya, the only helmet I liked was Grenth Hood and Stag Helmet. For shoulder, Slayer would be great but that’s just a whole outfit. Thnx for wishing me a “good luck” anyway.

You sure that those are skins? Not outfits? If they were skins, I should be able to use parts of them separately as customized mix-match armour sets.

No, im not sure, because i dont know what you are talking about.
Maybe learn to quote posts you are referring to.

No actually, I think majority of people are not interested in most of fluffy outfits and even newly released armours except the Mistwards (seen tons of heavy armour classes wearing those). Half of new outfits released cannot be even seen being wore in my opinion. And of course I really have to be naive just for this time since I’ve been unsatisfied with most of outfits till now except the Slayer which looks awesome. I really want to stick to Fashion Wars 2 you know.

We all know that few clipping issues are forgivable and it’s been how long? Nearly 3 years after the launch and no new skins since the very first season. Primeval skin and Braham skin are still my top favourite armour skins now :/ I just feel like that they are not ambitious at all into their games. I’m feeling that they are becoming lazier.

Halloween this year introduced 3 new single armor skins, thats half a set. Get 3 more with wintersday and its a full set.

And if they were intended to add new armours as part of expansion, not cash-grabbing merchandise, they should have added more variations. So far, I see four (Bladed set, Leystone set, guild set and finally mistward set). For my opinion, bladed set looks freaking ridiculous.
It doesn’t look authentic at all. I haven’t seen anyone equipping full set. Leystone? Yeah I would take only for helmet. The problem with these two sets are that they are excessively inclined to specific thematic area (bladed, rocky look) that it is really hard to mix-match with other styles. The only armour set I highly would recommend to have is Mistward armours. New guild armours look authentic though, yet it is guild armours, which becomes meaningless if player is not in a guild and prefer the solo play. New elite specialization armours? Oh yes, some of them look amazing such as Herald’s Shoulderplate and Reaper’s hood. They look kitten but as a warrior who chose berserker elite specialization, what do i get? A freaking skull helmet that look like a low-level bandit gear? Man you’ve got to be kidding!

Man, this is the time when Anet really should reflect players’ demands.

They dont do this out of spite, they do it because outfits are easier to design because they dont have as much clipping issues as mix and match armor skins.
If they release armor skins in game, its usually single skins and mostly gloves, helmets or shoulders and weapons.
Chest pieces and pants generate too much clipping issues.

New Slayer outfit? It looks awesome indeed! Yes I like it but I just want part of these armour parts to be used as my mix-mathced customized sets. I hate when I’m forced to wear whole parts as a set just for shoulders or helmets. Currently available skins in a gemstone is outdated. Seriously add more skins for better armour customization, not whole outfits.

What bothers me while playing warrior is that weapon swap cool down. I just cannot switch the weapons at the appropriate time because of this. 10 seconds feels way too long for me. Of course there is a trait where it reduces swap cool down, yet this also means that there’s no other choice but taking discipline trait just for one single trait. Will zero cool down make warrior OP? Otherwise what would be a big deal?

Which is of course the “Fast hands,” that everyone wants as a baseline.

Thnx, I’ll try that build.

So what’s the minimum attack warrior should have Evalia if 2500 is too low?

Well this occurs even when I managed to hit all the hits

So my warrior has about 2500 attack and doesn’t do much damage to veteran guards or even mobs wandering around the field, which is weird because my gs skill 200b doesn’t even go over 10000. Is this because I need to have stack more attack or is it just that all the npcs in wvw have extra armor and toughness?

I know that there was a guild vs guild in original gw but I don’t see any specific guild related pvp but just fighting against other servers (WvW). What’s the point of being this game called GuildWars 2? Just because it is the sequel?
