Hey Anet, get your head out of your kitten , and fix the never ending heal of all rats from spawn to lord (in Stronghold) by a SINGLE ele, that is brain damage at best. I have been part of several games when 3 people or more can be beating the hell out of the ele and all the rats at the same time with Aoe, and get absolutely nowhere. They can keep every single rat alive from spawn to lord. That is your idea of a balanced game?

Game not downloading?

A friend of mine just came back after 3 months and his game wont download patches and keeps freezing… anyone know why this might be?

did he try making another gw2 shortcut on his desktop and then change the properties to

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.exe” -repair

just add the: (space)-repair to the end of the line that is already there. where mine says 64 his may say 32, leave that as it is no matter what it says . gl, hope it helps

then don’t forget to use the other shortcut for normal play after the repair if it helps.

Weird connection problem

I’ve been having weird connection problem in-game. LFG, TP, guild/map chat don’t loads, can’t queue for pvp etc and pop up about “can’t log-in to server” appeared. The weird thing is I’m not having delay or bad ping. Pic related, (I’m not disconnected after I clicked that pop-up . I already tried restarting my modem and PC too.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Welcome to the club. Several of us are getting this and we know it is not on our end.

I’m having the same issue you are. Did you ever hear anything from them or did they just say screw it?

we posted about the same time LS, so, no I haven’t heard anything, if they had that would be so non-anet I would have died from shock anyway. But the reason for this post is to tell you 64 bit won’t help you with this as that is what I am running and have been for a while. Now it did help with the complete crashes in the 32 bit, now it just freezes where it would have crashed on the 32 bit, but can recover from the freezes on occasion. so in one sense 64 bit did help there somewhat.

P.S. I am in the U.S. so it has nothing to do with the oversea problems that some of the others are having.

Ever since your log in crash you had a couple of weeks ago and I had to have the authenticator removed. I get constant random popups saying the game could not connect to login server which it is, and I am playing, but at some point after that I get crazy high pings and dc’s like crazy, this is getting extremely annoying. Nothing else on my system has any net or any other issues at all. Only your stuff and it has always been your stuff. Firewall and antivirus are not to blame that has been checked repeatedly. Router has been rebooted more than enough to know that makes no difference. I have run the games built in diagnostic and repair to no avail at all. So what what gives? other than my patience!

The weirdest part of all is I can watch the game when it goes out for me, all my skills will be flashing but every chat, fight and movement by other players goes on unaffected so I am assuming this all ties in to an upload issue some where in your system.

anet your game is seriously flawed

in PvP

Posted by: Ballitar Stryker.2109

Ballitar Stryker.2109

So, what you’re saying, is that you literally walked into every trap a DH can throw down, plus were next to them while they used their GS #2 skill. And somehow the game is flawed? Maybe, gee, I dunno, don’t get next to a DH when they have all their traps down?

I’m not going to complain about players standing in my traps, as I play a DH, but good god most good players have figured out how to avoid them by now. There’s really no excuse. You need some solid stability/stun breaks when up against a DH. If you don’t have those slotted, simply avoid going toe to toe with a DH. Just keep throwing dots on them.

Most DH’s will have traps down and literally won’t move away from his traps in the hopes some poor schlub will walk into the exact scenario you are on here complaining about.

Range condition him and LoS so he can’t range you with LB. If he leaves the protection of his traps, then engage him up close. If he dodges back to his traps, don’t chase, go back to ranged conditions.

Melee-ing a DH is a bad idea in general unless you have crazy amounts of dodges (looking at you daredevils). And if you weren’t melee and you still somehow got hit by every trap plus their GS #2, then I’d say go back to the drawing board on your PvPing.

First of all, it is only my second time trying rev for the one referencing me being a rev, secondly the other player was on the far side of the cap at first, so there was no telltale sign he had already been to the mid cap to lay anything, (for all those touting I would know better) the screen shot is not the fight cap it was mid, the screen shot is when I had time to look at the combat log. 3rdly, Why in gods green earth would you give any class traps that are as big as the entire cap, that is just lame at best. Having to kite someone the entire game while they get to cap the cap, as it could and would be on some occasions instants death to even try and contest. Say what you will, DH way Op’d, period! And good luck trying to play any of the older classes without having to go to the new bs builds to even survive. You all enjoy the rest of this thread as I am done with it. Have a great day!

You got out played.

Next time be more careful of traps.

Agreed.

When I get owned in PvP, my first theory has to be that my play was bad. My second has to be that the other player is better. If I don’t start with that, I’ll never improve.

I certainly never blame the game — it’s only a set of tools that I need to learn how to use.

That doesn’t mean it’s impossible for skills to be unbalanced or unfair; it just means the burden is on me to show that it’s not my lack of skill or the opponent’s expertise. The OP hasn’t met that burden.

right, my options were so plentiful in my 1 second fight. I am such a failure. Here’s another thought, don’t make every class where they can one shot anything. less damage per skill and heals take longer to regain them, yes fights would take longer, but then a fight would actually require skill instead of all the single burst bs. What a concept!

This damage screen is from a single 1 second (less actually) fight with a dragonhunter. The screen wasn’t big enough to list it all. there is still another 6k of damage that wouldn’t fit on the screen. Is this your idea of balanced?

Anet, I have seen you really screw up some serious kitten because you are too busy making dresses so everyone can be pretty instead of fixing your bugs, but this new in your face targeting BS is seriously f’d up. And sometimes, it still doesn’t take with your opponent gnawing on your face already. And now you are ignoring everyone’s question about it. Typical.

Better yet, have it only show fire related info when I’m attuned to fire with a small note saying that other elements have different affects.

Try a search, there are several, I know of 3 times this has been asked for other than my own, but wiki search is about as useful as Anet’s coding priorities. They need to make sure they have even more outfits to choose from. We must all look pretty.
So you are not a clicker, it wasn’t addressed to you. They obviously made the info for the clickers and it is nice to have, but if you play a build for any length of time there is no need and they get in the way. An option to toggle it on and off would be extremely nice.

Really Anet?

How freaking hard is it to put an option on the option screen that allows us to turn off the descriptions of the skills when you mouse over them. It was already bad before, and now even worse because you changed the skills for the ele when the elite Glyphs is used it takes up the whole freaking screen!! And thief is just as bad. This has been asked for several times in the past by several players. What seems to be the major malfunction?

"Not So Secret" AB--JP porting

Ballitar Stryker.2109

Hey all,

Still lots of farming going on in the “Not So Secret” (Aetherblade) jumping puzzle due to the large amount of blade shards needed to create the ascended Tempered Spinal Blades back pieces. Anywho, I port to goggles and end chest often with my Mesmer in there, and I get asked often how I get down to port from ground floor back to goggles and since they can’t really follow you on the way down without dying to see what you are doing I made a video to show the path I take. I hope this helps future porting Mesmers in this puzzle. Good Luck and Have Fun!

Sorry if this has been posted already, tried using search on here, but that is about as useless as kittens on a boar hog. but anyway, it happens quite a bit now, where I get crippled by something and it doesn’t wear off until I log out and back on. It has happened about 4 times in the last 3 days. You may want to give it a look at when your concern is aroused.

Please fix this bug. I just keep getting these powders (instead of something useful like a BL Salvage kit) when I open the chests and they are completely useless as is. They still won’t convert and sends you to the TP screen to buy them instead.

P.S. The above suggestion doesn’t work for me.

Howdy all,

Thought I would let you know I just posted my very first Youtube video (so be gentle)
and sorry about the watermark on it, but I am not sure it will be something I will be doing on a regular basis so I didn’t buy the converter I used to change vid from avi to something Youtube would recognize. Anywho, it is about the highest point and hay pile jumping in the Fallen Hopes Storyline and the time stacking you can do to make your jumping a little easier to do. I hope this helps. So, Good Luck and Have Fun.

Well, I assumed DoT was counted, because it says on wiki that Direct and AOE damage was logged and that logged aoe would be shown separate for each pulse. But I guess they don’t count DoT as pulsed damage? Which makes no sense at all to me? I mean why bother to log any of it, if you are not going to show it all? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Ballitar Stryker.2109

Hey all,

I am hoping you all can help me out with something. I guess I don’t understand how the combat log works. The numbers never add up… Does it not include ALL damage you receive?

Yesterday in WvW I went in as an 18.5k level 80 Mesmer. I meet a thief and his hit numbers registered in the combat log as very very low (figured he was up-leveled) and yet he put me down very quickly. So after death I totaled the damage recorded in the log. the total damage recorded was just over 2k, that was the total of ALL hits. He was the first and only person I had fought so far so the log was empty before that, so no way to be confused with any other info. So how does a 18.5k Mesmer go down with 2k worth of hits?

And this isn’t a fluke it happened constantly. Can someone explain what I am missing?

Yeah, I am sure they are hurting Avelos, considering I saw a Feb 2014 report saying they made a 150M dollar profit in the last year alone and the majority of it was because of GW2. Now that was NCSOFT and I am not sure how Anet is tied in with them, but rest assured they are not broke by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah, I’m in the same boat, I lose no packets going to their servers. All losses (and lots of them) coming (or not) back from their servers, they tried to tell me otherwise more than once even after I had the same issue on two different high end gaming systems and on two different types of ISP, still my fault………. ah, you too were going through TX servers Terrowin, interesting….. I have found threads dedicated to just how kittenty their TX servers are alone, they lose so much data there, pure crap, but you ask any ANet tech they will tell you it’s on your end even with ping data in hand.

And now the biggest kicker of all (and I mean right in the face), now that they have went to mega servers, I now get routed from mid MO in the states all the way to Europe and back to play, I mean, really?! Anet you’re the best!……..at causing me all kinds of grief…

It may not be the case at all, but the fact you could play normal on one system and not the other makes me think the slower system could have been running a scan or a windows update or something like that in the background using more CPU resources. the next time you have that issue, shrink the game, hit ctrl-alt-del and bring up the task manager. You may find the culprit running in the background causing your problem. The fact that is was skills only is odd though.

Maybe something to consider. GL

Chat Suppression

Yeah, the sad part is we are suppressed while the hax continue to spew their BS continually. I was in PvP the other day for about 2 hours, in that time I received 13 pm gold spams and 2 or 3 more in the reg. map chat. While I can’t say, “thank you” to 3 different people without being suppressed. That is seriously messed up…

Booster Powder bug?

Hey all,

Is anyone else having the issue of the new booster powders not converting into the boosters after so many (8) have been opened? Now it opens the screen to buy boosters when I click on them. I did transfer the powders to another toon and behold I could convert another 8 of them to boosters again, but after the 8 it did the exact same thing on that toon as it did before. Started taking me to buy boosters screen.
Just curious if anyone else is having that issue…

Losing to a ranger is a sign that you need to improve. Losing to a ranger’s pet is a sign that you should immediately stop doing PvP. Those things are borderline useless.

lol, re-read the message guys, at no point did I say it killed me. I said it got me down, but the focus was to be on how far away from the ranger it got, and the other on the dead pet rez, I love how everyone goes straight to you must suck as a player. Typical forum chatter.

how hard is it to just kill the pet if its bothering you that much?

they are pathetically weak… no one ever traits for pets in spvp lol

if you are having an issue with one of the weakest classes in the game, you might need to re-think what you are doing lol

it was one of those situations where you had one hit left, but it happens a lot… and weakest? they are perfectly balanced or so we are told, and I do play ranger too guys and I have no issue with the changes I have suggested.

Put a shorter leash on the ranger pets… we were playing on the sky hammer map and a pet followed me all the way around (and I mean all the way around) the backside of one of the end points and brought me down while the ranger never left the point, I mean really?

And what is with dead pets being able to rez rangers in a down state, the pet is DEAD… if the pet dies so should the rangers ability to be raised…

Suggestion for skillbar

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ballitar Stryker.2109

Ballitar Stryker.2109

Hey all,

My first post, lets see how bad I can mess this up.

Can you please add an option under options to disable skillbar descriptions. I mean, after you find a skillbar you like and you familiarize yourself with it, it is no longer necessary to have those descript boxes pop up blocking up to 4" of screen while you are trying to fight. The thief for example, when you mouseover the first skill of dagger, you have 4 boxes stacked in your view. It would be so much more of an enjoyable experience to able to shut them off and on in options.
