Guild Wars 2

I’m sick of getting only 45 or 30 dungeon tokens, even after not playing for 2 days straight. After a week of emails with support, they refuse to compensate me so I’m done with GW2 until this crap is fixed. I’ve NEVER seen 60 tokens before, meanwhile everyone else I run with is getting 60.

" Dungeons reward 20 tokens for completion and now reward an additional 40 tokens for the first time they are completed each day. This means that if players can complete all 3 chains of a dungeon in a day, they’ll receive a total of 180 tokens, which is enough to purchase some of the smaller rewards. "

BS, fix this so it actually rewards 20+40 for everyone not just some people.

FYI here’s my track record:
Day 1: 45 TA blossoms
Day 2: 30 TA blossoms, 45 CoF carvings
Day 4: 45 TA Blossoms

and I haven’t played since then (last week) while waiting for support to get back to me, which they just blew me off saying they can’t compensate dungeon rewards. and to think I actually felt good about buying gems to support this company, now I wish I hadn’t.

Yes this needs to go, WoW used to have a cap too until they realized how stupid and unfair it was. Each bleed stack should be individual and per-player, not global from everyone.

This would give people more options for dealing damage instead of being pigeon holed into direct damage only to avoid the damage cap. I don’t see how people are saying this is overpowered, just think if all the conditioners switched to direct, it would be about the same damage anyways.

I think the camera is fine except for the smoothing – that should be optional. I always run with the auto-rotate feature disabled (forget the exact name of it).

Edit: Although being able to zoom in/out farther would be nice.

YES PLEASE, i want to change my ugly hair style. and I hate my eye color, that would be nice to change too. I’m throwing money at the screen but it won’t let me!

Is this seriously not account-bound? I never checked but always assumed. WTF!!!!

Since about a week ago, my Shift, CTRL and ALT keys stopped registering in-game. They work fine in windows and other games. I can’t do any of the keybinds like CTRL+T to mark target, and if I try to remap a key to shift+something, ctrl+something or alt+something it doesn’t even register the modifier key just the regular key.

Any ideas? I’m on Win8 with a Corsair Vengeance K90 gaming keyboard but I doubt that matters since it was just working fine a week or so ago.

Works fine, in fact you may get a few more fps on win8 compared to win7 in most games.

wonder why GW2 is only supporting mac since the mac client is basically using wine too, via transgaming cider. didn’t transgaming used to have a linux version too called cedega?

if it’s a nearly equally clocked i5 compared to i7, then there’s little benefit for the i7 especially in gaming. hyper threading doesn’t benefit most games, in fact it can make some run slightly slower due to overhead of the virtual cores.

it’s just you…

J/K I can’t log in either >.<

yep i had the same issue

fix the game first please, then worry about trivial things such as the login screen >.<

Gollgagh.6109:

What I’ve found is that for my Female Human Vigil character every single piece of dialog that addresses the character, either by title (Hero, Advocate, Recruit, Warmaster, etc.) or “My friend” or similar, is missing its dub.

All dialog that does not address the character plays just fine.

Edit: Quickly checking on my Male Sylvari, this did not hold true, and all of the dialog in his Orders of Tyria starting quest played properly.

If this is true, then this might be the issue right here that ANet needs to look into. bumping for great justice.

if this hasn’t already been said, make sure to log out and exit the patcher completely, then log back in and guild/party stuff should be fixed. though instances are still buggy, afaik.

same with TA Explore. tried it with two different groups, we either couldn’t get in with the popup or we all ended up in different instances.

Alright thanks, so +crit% doesn’t sound so appealing now. the question remains is whether i want to sacrifice power or crit in order to squeeze in some surviability. (or is 25 inspiration good enough?)

But is it worth speccing sharper images without any condition damage?

Thinking of going with Knight’s set for some survivability too… just is a big decision since I’m ready to drop 15g on level 80 gear.

I’ll be swapping Staff/Sword+Focus and GS+Sword/Focus I think. But I just found a helpful thread here too: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Is-the-Rampager-s-set-worth-it

Having a hard time deciding on gear for my 80 mesmer for PVE.

Power/prec/crit seems to go more with swords and greatswords, right? but condition damage is very powerful for staffs and bleed builds… arrgg this is a hard decision.

Tip: don’t go condition damage for PVE events… I was wailing on a dragon w/ staff for like 10 minutes and didn’t even get credit for participating. (no bronze and no chest).

If I had time I would have swapped to GS or something else, but this just popped up out of nowhere with staff as my only ranged.

I get stuck in a wall multiple times a day… Blink usually can get you out though, but not usable when underwater.

Female human here, so maybe we are on to something. Can anyone confirm if males are (consistently) getting this bug too? What’s strange is even the scouts will say like the first syllable and then be silent. (And like I said before, about half my story dialogue is missing, though my character voice almost always speaks)

Edit:
Also, I doubt it’s lag. I’m running everything on ultra/high at good framerate and I have very low latency to GW2’s Texas servers.

What video card? If nvidia, are you using ambient occlusion?

I’ve been getting a LOT of missing voiceovers lately, and it seems random. I’m starting to think one of the patches made the voiceovers buggy. About half of my personal story dialogues are missing. I didn’t have a single voice issue until last week.

Yeah, I can understand if this was a class skill to mark a target (like hunter’s mark in wow) but a simple ctrl+t to completely negate all our tricks is really an exploit.

Also this literally makes us a bigger target in WvW because of people calling target just to keep track of us…

Decoy only works about 1/3rd the time for me. Maybe if you were already getting hit or had a condition on you, the damage removes the stealth immediately? That’s my guess anyways, but kind of limits the usefulness of the skill to begin with.

wow that sucks, I’m at about 74k/75k too… so if I get 75k XP in a single zone without logging out or using waypoints i might get the achievement?

ditto here, happens sometimes with tons of people on the screen (swamp boss, centaur boss, etc). seems like GW2’s sound engine bugs out and crashes.

so this only happens on your account and not your brothers? and you tried on his PC too?

yes very annoying, please fix.

I know what you’re talking about, but the game does in fact register on key-down (you can test by holding a key down and not releasing). What you’re seeing is internet latency or server lag (though probably both). Ping lowering services can help with the internet latency (YMMV), but a good majority of the ability delay right now has been server lag.

I play with about a 65ms latency to GW2 servers with Smoothping, and there’s still a lot of delay. The delay can change drastically depending on what zone you’re in too, as some have really bad server lag whereas others are nearly zero delay.

Seems to happen very rarely and only during huge boss fights with tons of people on the screen, like the sound engine gets overloaded or something. It’s not a hardware issue because if you alt-tab to windows, every other sound works fine, just gw2 sound is broken. Plus, people reported this issue even on their onboard realtek sound. Exiting the game is the only way to make the sound stop.

Edit: we should probably follow this thread instead: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Annoying-Sound-Bug/first

fullscreen gives me better performance. sitting in lion’s gate right out of mists I get 62fps fullscreen and 49fps window+fullscreen. most games perform better in fullscreen mode, I’m not sure why yours doesn’t.

also using nvidia (gtx 690) with latest beta drivers.

I just got this issue again during the level 43’ish centaur boss with 20+ people on screen (last time I had this was during the swamp boss in head start). Repeating sine wave.

I’m using an X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional with in-game sound set to Highest Quality and Lowest Latency

Edit: Sorry, good to see they’re working on a fix soon, but has anyone had luck changing sound quality or latency as a temporary fix?

My GTX 690 scales between 50% to 90% usage on both GPU’s using a 4.5GHz i5, but the FPS is far from perfect. I noticed that turning shadows off reduces the camera fps jitter/dips but looks really bad. fog is a major fps killer and that’s the only time when both my GPU’s are nearly maxed out (and sometimes looking over big landscapes).

I’ve also noticed some SLi-specific bugs in the interface during character creation (the slashy artwork behind words will flicker) and also the player portraits in party frames (flickers and flashes like crazy sometimes.)

The game really looks truly astonishing, but come on, even a $1000 GPU and 4.5GHz CPU struggling to run it?? there has to be some ways for ANet to optimize the engine and offload more work to GPU.

I don’t see this “bad relationship” since I’ve played on a 690 with beta drivers for weeks with no reboots, and a friend of mine on his 670 too. An application can’t suddenly reboot a computer, there’s usually precautions that prevent that. in my IT experience, this usually happens when a hardware or driver failure is detected. People keep saying their system doesn’t reboot on other games, but other games may not stress the system as hard. If someone brought a machine to me complaining about these issues, the first thing I’d be doing is stress testing to reproduce the problem outside of the game in order to determine the faulty hardware. (Using Prime95, OCCT, Unigine Heaven, EVGA OC Scanner on Heavy Mode, etc)

just so you know, “SE” is usually sh**ty edition. You can find a regular GTX 460 for like $80 on eBay, which are much better. But if you have the money I’d recommend a GTX 670 or GTX 660Ti they’re like 215%-230% the performance of a 460. Unless you’re happy with low/med settings, the 460 will be fine.

I had that sound cut-out with the whoop-whoop repeating sound a few times during swamp boss a few weeks ago, but since one of the updates I’ve had no issues at all on my X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro w/ sound quality maxed and lowest latency.

Also i think some people are talking about EMI interference, that is a separate issue that can bleed interference into the analog wires. people using digital spdif, or well shielded cards won’t see this.

If your computer is automatically rebooting, it’s probably one of two things. 1. your computer is BSOD’ing due to hardware or driver error (but windows is automatically restarting) or 2. your computer’s power supply is insufficient or going bad, and is restarting the system. GW2 is a very hardware-intensive game and demands more system resources than WoW, so it could be causing an already existing problem to surface whereas WoW wasn’t.

If you want to check if your computer is BSOD’ing, right click “My Computer” select “properties” then go to “Advanced System Settings” on the left, then “Advanced” tab, click “Settings” next to “Startup and recovery” and UNCHECK “Automatically restart” then click OK. After doing this If you see a BSOD then you probably have some flaky hardware (bad ram, unstable OC, or overheating issues) or a driver issue.

This would be nice to have like Tera, maybe if GW2 goes forward with that rumored console release they could bring the controller UI to PC also.

I mostly get 60-80 fps (with 80Hz/vsync) but I get massive framerate drops when turning camera or with lots of people on the screen. I believe this is VRAM stuttering, and the game needs further optimizations. This happens with both “best appearance” and with everything maxed on supersample and ultra. Same results in both Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64. This shouldn’t be happening on a $1000 video card.

Core i5 2500K @ 4.5GHz (Also tested with overclock removed)
16GB 2133MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (306.02 drivers, have also tested 304.x)
SSD

Attached is my dxdiag from Win8, but it should be no different from Win7 since I get equally mediocre performance. (If anyone actually reads my dxdiag, ignore the “AI Suite II.exe” crashes, that’s just one of my motherboard utilities I’ve stripped down to run more minimally in the background)
