For a few days now whenever I play GW2, within 10 mins or so the screen goes black and the GPU fans go crazy. Sometimes this happens as soon as I start the game. The only option at that point is to restart the PC. I have tried running the game in 32 bit mode. I have tried lowest settings. I have tried all the Frame Limiter options. Nothing seems to stop the black screen crash.
I have also stresstested my CPU with Prime95 and GPU with FurMark. They do not crash whilst stresstesting, nor do they crash in any other games. This is something that is only happening in GW2.
What could possibly be happening? What else should I try?
Are they going away with LS3’s start or will they stay during at least the first part of LS3? I’m asking because I have not been able to play even a little bit the past month and was wondering if Anet would keep those achievements for a few weeks or so more.
I believe MF should affect all chests and boxes players can get in any part of the game. We know it’s possible since it already affects PvP reward tracks.
The reason for this is that it is already very hard to get a high level of MF with the only reward for it being that it only affects mob drops and or PvP chests/boxes. Having it affect all chests and boxes might get more people to try and level their MF, allowing Anet to create another gold sink, but one that would be fun and rewarding in the end. It might also bring down the prices of the highly sought after skins and weapons and other drops so that they are not only in the grasps of the super rich in the game.
Since this patch has brought back many previous LS items, can we also please get these items back in the gemstore? I failed to pick them up last time and really would like to get them for my collection.
Are there any skins that were previously available in the Gemstore that you somehow failed to buy to due various circumstances but now really regret not being able to get to add to your wardrobe?
Come on Anet, this is the perfect time to be bring some old skins back temporarily. Any other skins you guys would like to see make a return for a little while?
1) How will the unidentified dye rewards work if you already have a duplicate dye on 2 characters? WIll it be 1 unidentified dye for every character on that account or just 1 unidentified dye for the whole account?
2) Would it be better to give 1 unidentified dye to every character on the account or just 1 unidentified dye to the whole account?
Does anyone know if this means that if I have 2 chars with the same dye unlocked and if I log on to my other chars, every single one of them will get an unid dye? It’s not very clear on that.

Same here. Can’t load into any character atm, just stuck at loading screen. -maploadinfo says everything is 100% loaded but it keeps waiting for something before crashing.

If anyone has a spot in that fractal and wants to sell it, I’d be very interested. I’ve done many runs but still have not gotten that fractal. Plz whisper me
so apparently I killed the anomaly but the floor dissapeared during the cutscene? and there’s no way back to it because ou guys didn’t make a wp to respawn lool
There’ s a cutscene? I didn’t get any. Just stuck at top
Killed the Anomaly, only to get stuck at the top with no way to get down. Tried jumping off the side to get down and to get the chest, got insta-death. Had to log out and back in so we could get back into the fractal for the reward, only to find out we can’t enter anymore. There are still a lot of bugs in this fractal I think.
It seems there is no Halloween Daily Achievement today. My brother can’t finish his Meta now and is stuck at 12/13 because he was unable to play during the past month. Can we please get 1 final Halloween Daily
what OP is trying to say is" i was exploiting a feature of the game to farm more tokens than i should, please allow me to cheat again".
Ha! Nice try. Anet specifically put that function of the token rewards in the game. It was not an exploit.
Ninja nerfing something so huge and important to so many people and not even mentioning it in the patch notes nor even 1 post in this thread shows something about Anet.
ok, theres quite a bit too much talk about cash from dungeons being the reason we’re in there so lets clarify a bit. If i’m setting foot in a dungeon its because i want that sexy looking gear or stat combination of gear. If the mobs dropped nothing and the armour was unsalvagable or if salvaged only gave 2 mithril thats fine by me, i’m not running cof for anything except that armour for my new war/guar/rang/eng (i have 1 of each class). Now that the tokens are dropped to tiny tiny amounts after run 1 its extremely difficult to acquire those tokens by doing guild runs etc as frankly at 20 tokens per no-one else wants to set foot in there either. 60 tokens per alt was a great way to get the look you want (and you’d buy the trans crystals in the store to mix look with stats…just saying anet) and also meant the other folks in your guild would go “oh yeah, i’ll go as my ele, haven’t run him today” Now its back to dungeons being a ghosttown filled only with those there to grind out the gold from them.
Some of us cant stand to farm events for money. We only do dungeons. As much as I disagree with the token nerf. The change overall has benefited me. I can make a lot of gold in a couple of hours now. I could never do cof p1 for longer than 30 mins or id die of boredom so making dungeon variety more rewarding has made me earn faster and enjoy myself while doing it.
How about they keep the bonus gold reward accountwide and fix the token reward to go back to how it was before patch?
I just wanted to make my case a little clearer, I in no way am asking for a hand out. I love a challenge, and initially I even enjoyed killing Liadri. I am a very competent player that knows how to use my resources. I use a hotkeyed mouse, and keyboard with fast reaction time. I know how to tailor my character’s gear to the situation at hand. That being said, I understand that the encounter can be done, but after spending 9 hours straight today alone learning every void drop, how to connect clones to portals for fast orb throws it still ridiculously impossible not due to lack of skill or patience, but because this encounter plus 5 additional orbs is just poorly thought out. If I’m wrong then I’ll let it go, but I’ve really had enough of all the glitchy crap that happens during this fight when you are expected to pretty much run a perfect fight in under 3 minutes. Argh I hate feeling like I have to complete every achievement especially when they are temporary and will leave an uncompleted black mark on my achievements…OCD right?
Did you try it with Warrior+Melandru+Lemongrass+Mace/Shield+Rifle?
I’m gonna say this because it really needs to be said.
They clearly stated that the changes to dungeons were going to be account bound.
To encourage players to participate in a wider array of dungeon content, we’ve designed the system so if you complete the same dungeon path twice in one day, you’ll receive the normal reward for completion, but won’t receive the bonus gold reward again during that day.
That means that 20 tokens is the base rate of reward for each dungeon path and anything else you get was bonus. That’s why when people were running a multiple path they were getting less tokens until they hit on the base tokens (20)
I will admit it looks slightly poorly worded, it could have said bonus rewards or bonus gold and tokens but it assumed that the average reader understood that there was a bonus element to the tokens received also.
You can argue that this is the worst thing to hit the game because Anet are Altist all you want, this change is actually a good thing. just because you cant grind out a dungeon set in 2 days with 6 characters anymore dosn’t mean its hard to get gear for alts, all those badges of honor from your achievement rewards, guess what you can actually buy gear with them in WvW, shocker i know!
Trying to tell people to read and understand while failing to read and understand what you yourself just quoted….
There is no mention of dungeon tokens. There is no mention of what the base reward is. Are we supposed to conjure those out of nowhere?
You want to artifically inflate how fast you get dungeon gear? Go ahead. I only have a few days a week to play and I could get a dungeon set or most of it before this ninja nerf that no one at Anet seems to want to talk about. I highly suspect this has to do with the new wallet system and they are unable to separate currencies. THis led to the Fractal recipes being changed and now this.
I think this achievement is working as intended. The problem is that it rewards the same amount of points as other achievements that are not this hard making people think it is not working as intended because it is very hard. Raising the achievement points to 50 or so AND giving a title would make this achievement stand out more as being one of those achievements only a few will be able to get.
As for people thinking it is too hard: it seems too hard at first, but once you get the pattern down and do everything you can to reduce the cripple duration, it is possible. It took me a long time to get but it is certainly possible. Do not give up yet.
Would it be possible to replace this with a non-grated floor? I ask because I am having a really hard time seeing the red AoE circles on the orange grated floor. I am not colour blind but I can only imagine the trouble those people must be having.
If I just want exotic armors, I would just join the wvw zerg and get the badges and then buy them in wvw. They are so easy and cheap. The reason for me to run certain dungeons with mutliple alts before the nerf, I run it because I need certain skins/runes and exotic weapons.
For example, I suddenly feel like to play a cleric build and need the superior rune of monk. It’s not sold on TP but can only be acquired from the AC dungeon tokens. Seriously I have not touched AC dungeons ever since it became time comsuming to play because of ccertain bosses. I don’t enjoy getting wiped then some people leave and the rest have to wait for new people coming in. Anyway, a rune is 120 tokens and I need 840 tokens for 7 (underwater helm need the rune too). So before the nerf it takes 2 days to get them all if I use 7 alts to focus on 1 path only. After the nerf, it takes 14 days for 1 alts to play on 1 path only. Part of reason I don’t grind dungeon is because it’s only 20 token after the 1st try which is inefficient to play.
Note that I do not play AC because I want to play it or want to farm it. I play because I suddenly need the tokens. So in order to play a new build that just came out in my mind, I now have to spend 14 days to get the rune in a dungeon I don’t really want to play. Should I just forget about trying this build all together? If any new build that I want to try have so much time needed ahead, should I bother playing new builds at all?
I agree playing multile alts are for fun. But they have to be geared/skined for different builds which took a lot of time before the nerf already. With so many changes that is not in favor with people who have multiple alts in dungeon/wvw and look like things have to take a long time to accomplish, it’s really getting less incentive to continue on.
If you bothered to do all 3 paths you could get it in 5 days with no extra runs, and probably more like 3-4 days because they drop as loot.
Hey, here is a radical idea: why don’t you run the dungeon for a week to get 1 thing, and he will run it multiple times a day to get what he wants? How about we stop telling other people how they should play the game?
This is an incredibly disappointing and disheartening “nerf” if it actually is one. Anet have not talked about it so I am hoping this is just a bug with the new dungeon reward system that will be fixed soon. Having multiple characters and trying to get the skins on them that I want should not take a million years. Yes, that is just a manner of speech, but keep in mind I have a huge number of alts.
Also, can I just remind everyone to post in the Game Bugs forum and or report it ingame?
As soon as it gets a little bit more… difficult, people will always cry. Players don’t want to do all paths of a dungeon, they only want to do the easy one to get their rewards as easy and fast as possible. Which is sad, i hope they keep the changes. This is the first time in months that i’ve visited gw2lfg without seeing ‘’LF3M ZERK WARRIORS PING OR KICK’’ all over the site, which is kittening awesome. I love it.
Lazy people will always be lazy. Get your crap together and try some different paths for exchange, i promise you that you won’t get bored as fast.
I don’t think zerk warriors were farming tokens, and even if you run all three paths, you still get less tokens than before.
Also, this change wont make people run the disliked paths. It’ll just make less people run paths in general.
Also also, I don’t think running all three paths on multiple characters makes you lazy, which is what quite a few people that I know did when they wanted tokens.
They didn’t farm tokens, no. But it gave you a kitten ton of tokens to spend. The point is – It forces players to play more than one dungeon a day, more than one path over and over a day. You’d get 360..ish tokens a day, and a decent amount of gold. Don’t forget that you can craft/buy your armor aswell.
With the current changes implemented, attaining 360 of the same tokens in one day would require one to run all three paths of that dungeon 4 repetitive times in a row, in theory, totaling in 12 consecutive runs of the same dungeon. Although, that isn’t even considering any additional diminishing returns you might hit after the second run for 20 tokens, in which case the number of runs would increase by much larger amounts after each following run. The only ideal amount of tokens the average willing player will now ever save in the period of one day is no more than 180 total tokens for 3 runs of a single dungeon.
There isn’t just one dungeon to do, right? Apparently you don’t get it. For example, if you want the zerker armor, you do CoF path 1-3, doesn’t take you that long. That gives you 180 tokens, ~3g and some mats. After that, head over to CoE and do path 1-3, that gives you another 180 tokens (that would be 360 tokens in total), ~3g and some mats. You will most likely get some rares aswell. 360 tokens and 6g, that’s ~4 zerker parts (atleast 3) in 2 hours, how’s that not good enough for you? If you’re smart you buy the chest & shorts since you need most tokens for these parts and therefore you wont have to spend as many days doing this.
Seriously? That is the best you can do? Run other dungeons? What if I don’t want to run other dungeons? Why would I run dungeons I don’t like the armor of? If I like a specific dungeon;s armor, I will run that dungeon as much as I please. You cannot force me to run dungeons I have nothing to gain from. This line of arguing is just such bullkitten.
While I do agree about the token nerf, it’s hard to get dungeon vendor items now. I don’t agree with you just sticking to Mesmer or Warrior. They’ve given dungeons a more casual route now, sorta like dailies. It doesn’t matter what class you bring, the reward is accountbound.
This is great for me, cause now I get to choose whatever class I feel like playing and just do some dungeon dailies.
The gold nerf is awesome, get more gold for less work (though it’s limited in the farm). The token nerf is awful, they should make vendor items cheaper, or reward more tokens on daily basis.
That doesn’t make sense. You could always bring the class you wanted. And if you wanted the extra tokens, you ran the dungeon with your favourite class and then relogged at end with the other class.
Can all of you please make a thread in the Bugs forum and submit ingame bug reports regarding this seeing as how it was not in the patch notes? Can someone also contact them on Twitter because apparently they don’t want to reply on the forums here…
It seems you cannot do an explorable Dungeon Path on different characters and thereby get the 60 tokens on each of them anymore since the update. This is not noted in the Patch Notes. Is this a bug and if so when will it be fixed?
If true this is incredibly disappointing on Anet’s part. I have multiple characters, more than anyone in the game probably has on their account. This was a way for me to get them geared up and looking nice in the armor set I wanted them to have.
I hope this is just a bug and will be fixed soon as I cannot find it in the Patch Notes.
Same here. Just crashes everytime I try to access the Achievements panel regardless of character or whether I run as Admin
Happened after I chose a new skin from the Achievement rewards. I went to the QJ achievements by clicking on the Living Story UI, but when I clicked on the Summary tab, it crashed again
1) I cannot complete the Social Hint Completion because the Mailbox Full Hint seems to be bugged. It never shows up for me even after I have had my friends mail me until my mailbox was full and even after I have deleted dozens of mails to make space. Because of this I cannot get the Achievement.
2) There seem to be 2 Whirling Axe Weapon Skills for the Asura Warrior but one is permanently locked. It stays greyed out. The one I can unlock as an Asura Warrior is less powerful than the one that stays greyed out.
Not really a bug as such, which is why I said “what you see is what you get” kinda like asking for a cheese ommolette after you have paid for a plain one. You kinda get what you’re given or go without…
Sadly I think you are clutching at straws with this post as it’s not a huge deal for anyone and anet wouldn’t take it seriously.
Sorry!
Sadface
I thought it might be worth it since skins are what it’s all about in GW
It seems to me that the Fractal Capacitor has better effects at lower graphical settings. It’s a lot more shiny on low settings whereas on higher settings it is not as shiny but we get to see the cube floating around. Can we please get the shining graphical effect for the high quality graphical settings to match or exceed the low quality graphical settings?
As someone who has a legendary on an Asura Guardian (The Moot), I and other people have zero problems seeing them. People who worry about this are silly, and this is a pointless suggestion. I don’t want my Moot to be larger than my character can wield.
Trust me, people will know when you have a legendary, regardless of your size.
I don’t know. I’ve encountered a few Asura with Legendaries while running around with my human character and the only time I could actually see that he/she had a Legendary weapon was when it was Dusk because of the dark footsteps and that bow that leaves a Princess Mononoke Forest Spirit trail.
Before GW2 came out, I was planning on making the tiniest Asura as my main warrior. When the game launched I planned on working towards a Legendary Greatsword with him. But it turns out the Legendary weapons scale just like the normal weapons. Surely I can’t be the only one who wants the Legendary weapons to be visible regardless of how small the character wielding them is? Would it be possible to not downscale the size of them on small characters?
I second the option to see when people last logged in in the Guild Panel. We’ve had some inactive guildies that haven’t logged in since launch week and we need to start clearing up the inactive players.
My soundcard is the Asus Xonar Essence STX and my headset is the Sennheiser PC 360. I have set the sound to 7.1 in the Essence’s Audio Center and all other games run fine with this. However, I have noticed that if I run GW2 with this setup, the music suffers a lot. It basically just disappears. Audio dialogue, environment sounds and sound effects play perfectly fine and loud, but the music is non-existent. This happens even if I have the music set to max and all the other sound to low: I barely hear the music.

What can I do to get the music to play properly and at the intended volume while having the audio output set to 7.1?
