Sound - Can't hear sounds like weapon sounds

I can’t hear sounds like footsteps from my character, UI sounds (like hero window or inventory window opening), weapon switching, the clang of weapons when attacking, etc. Sometimes I can hear them but they are very low in volume.

On the other hand, I can hear things like the dying gasps of enemies very loudly and clearly, activation of certain abilities, achievement dings, and the like.

All of this seems to me a lot like the game is using surround sound settings so that there are many channels set up, but since I only use 2d stereo headphones, obviously the things that would be coming out of the middle channel, I don’t hear them!

But I can’t find any settings to set this. In windows my sound is set to stereo like it should be and it all works fine for all other games and programs, but for GW2 I can’t find any setting to set this. I have set all volumes to maximum and still it’s not good enough.

Is there any where I can change this? Please help!

The personal story I’ve tried of course, but I didn’t mention it because like all “stories” in any game it’s terrible, and I’ve tried with a few different characters.

As for dungeons… I don’t really understand how to find a group for them. There isn’t any kind of dungeon finder that I can find in the game…

I having a hard time finding something to keep me playing the game. I’m almost level 30 already but I have already unlocked all the skills back when I was lvl 12, maybe. Every 10 levels I craft myself the be possible armour and weapons I can make and that happens to be the best available anyway.
Killing enemies is pretty boring… I just repeat the same skills in the same order over and over on any enemy and there’s never a challenge.

What is there to do in this game but just grind? What am I missing? I’ve done pvp, both kinds, didn’t like either.

You know in other games every few levels you get something new, something different, a different kind of challenge, but for this game I don’t see any of that…

I was just playing a match of pug sPvP, our team is doing great, almost won, then all of a sudden I get the loading screen and…. I’m on the other losing team?
What the pancakes? Is this some kind of “auto-balance”?

I oppose this “feature” with all my might.

Jeez, have you guys never played any other kind of pvp games that are not mmorpgs? Like Counter-Strike? Or Starcraft? Or DoTA? Those games are the “same thing” over and over and there’s no PvE gear there to earn, why do people keep playing it? CAUSE IT’S FUN.

You can always just make a new character if you don’t want to wait for the support ticket.

Why can't I PVP with my friends in the Battle Grounds?

I don’t agree, a.net. I have two friends and we don’t always play at the same time. Sometimes it’s 3 of us sometimes it’s 2. There is obviously never enough to play tournament, and there is NO other option for us to play together.

Raid on the capricorn, just get rid of the map.

Map is fine, but the sharks are not. Get rid of them, they make no sense and do not add anything to the experience.

My best class in PvP is ... trebuchet

Any time it’s Battle for Khylo I always get on the Trebuchet. I’ve tried many classes and always felt weak with every one. I’d either feel like I die too quickly to be useful, or maybe I’d survive a long time but can’t deal any kind of damage to be useful.

But when it comes to the trebuchet that’s where I shine. I can accurately bombard any point on the map, not just the control points but the approaching passages, too. I can destroy portions of the map to provide a quick access for my team to a point in time of need. I can deny a capture point to an enemy long enough until backup arrives. And I can turn a hopeless 1v3+ battle for a point into a victory.

When I play on the Trebuchet I feel like it’s the only time I’m being actually useful to the team. What other class can do all that you can do on a trebuchet?

Anyone else feel the same way?
