Fails to Launch / Not Responding

I often have to launch the game a couple times to get it running. The first time the screen flickers like it’s going to launch then it just hangs. I ctrl alt del and see GW2 in the application list as “not responding”. I end the program and try launching again. Most times it works on second try. Today I tried 3 times in a row and i’m sick of it so I’m posting here to see if anyone has an idea. I have included the Game Advisor txt file. I do not have an “Arenanet.log” file in my Guild Wars 2 documents folder.

So they want to punish us for using our only viable build. Guess i have to lvl my warrior then. It’s so nice with the rifle who can one-shot enemies from a safe distanse.

This is funny. No really. I play all the classes and have most of them over 30 or 40. I’ve yet to one-shot anything while leveling my warrior unless you are counting the squirrel or raccoon? And no, while leveling you aren’t constantly doing Kill Shot (adrenaline skill with rifle.) If all you use on your rifle warrior is Kill Shot please send me your build lol.

My question is the topic title ^^

Is ranger a viable class?

in Ranger

I find it laughable when Rangers complain about pet AI after playing my Necromancer. But to the point, unfortunately Rangers and Engineers have more bugs/broken mechanics than most other classes. This makes them harder to excel with. I would argue that any class is “viable” as it can get the job done in any situation. Is it ideal? Most likely not.

Not quite so laughable. I play both classes and while yes their are times some of my necro pets sit there with their thumb up their kitten at least 1/2 of them are attacking the mob and they also have ranged attacks so pathing and lag is less of an issue. My necro would completely destroy my ranger. So yea, not really laughable.

It’s kittening ridiculous that my sword brings down mobs faster than than either bow. Seriously? If I want to do decent dps as a “RANGEr” i have to use melee weapons. GG anet.

tips on kiting for the new thief

in Thief

Posted by: Brutakus.2784

Brutakus.2784

You’re not kiting unless you’ve got a ranged weapon…

As an old school gamer I disagree with your definition. If you are damaging the mob in ANY way and leading it around to avoid getting hit you are “kiting”. Your method of delivering that damage i.e. bleed from a melee hit, poison from bad breath etc. is irrelevant.

I’m P/P SB and I NEVER use body shot, what a complete waste of time and initiative.

I thought I was a pve monster with my p/p sb thief until I ran my first dungeon. I must have died in AC 6 or 7 times. Was not what I expected the way I tear through above ground content. I utterly destroy a mob with 2 unloads. Most mobs never touch me. AC was an eye opener and makes me wonder if I should gear more tough/vit and less pwr/pre

I can’t find a daze with a base higher than 0.5. Which skill has a base daze of 1.5?!?

Why do people say "Thiefs?

in Thief

Posted by: Brutakus.2784

Brutakus.2784

I find it hard deciding between context but, if I’m talking about an attribute of the class I’ll use Thief’s and if I’m talking about players I’ll use Thieves as my general rule of thumb.

What your doing is using completely fine. “Thief’s” is a single thief showing possession, as in “The thief’s hood was black.”

“Thieves” is the plural form of thief, as in “The thieves stole our kitten.”

Same reason some people say elfs instead of elves. They’re under-educated.

Crashing to Desktop Often

I played for 2 hours after doing the 3GB Switch Method and ZERO crashes! Thanks so much!

Crashing to Desktop Often

I crash to the desktop quite often, as in 6 times in past hour. Obviously this is severely hindering my enjoyment of the game. I most often crash to the desktop upon zoning; entering or leaving cities, walking through gates. The crashes are not limited to zoning though. I occasionally crash just running around. Sometimes I can tell when I’m about to crash as I’ll see some weird kitten on the screen. Like I try to open Trade Post and the window I open is all black. Or I’ll open my bank and see bright shades of color in the bank inventory window. I did a clean install of Vista last week and my nvidia and audio drivers are updated to most current available. Here is my dxdiag and crashlog:

Illusions shouldn't vanish when target dies

in Mesmer

Posted by: Brutakus.2784

Brutakus.2784

A simple suggestion that would substantially improve the mesmer’s subpar multi-target PVE abilities while not overpowering them in PVP.

Illusions should not dissipate when their target dies. It discourages focus fire which is a powerful damage mitigation tool in PVE, and it would make things much easier for arguably the worst PVE profession in the game. It is just so easy for a mesmer to get overwhelmed by multiple targets given their general lack of AOE damage compared to other professions. My proposed fix would greatly even the playing field.

The current system doesn’t even make sense flavor wise. If the illusions exist only in the minds of the targets, why can other creatures attack them? If an illusion can only attack one target, that target should be the only thing that can attack said illusion. Conversely, if an illusion can be attacked by multiple creatures, it should be able to retaliate against any of those creatures. It is only logical, and would be a great balancing factor for PVE Mesmers.

This makes so much sense both in terms of flavor and in terms of balance. Please consider this seriously.

Totally agree with this ^^ if the lore is that the illusions are only in the minds of their targets then either they are only attackable by that target and vanish (explode) after the target is dead or if they exist in all of the surrounding enemies then they shouldn’t vanish until the last one is dead.

I have to give this a 3rd thumbs up. Just doesn’t make any kitten sense. It’s not like you can make an army of them. Max of three duh.

Thank you. Was so easy my advanced brain was having a meltdown lol.

Transmutation How?

in Crafting

Posted by: Brutakus.2784

Brutakus.2784

I’m sitting on like 80 of these basic transmutation stones. So I figured I’d finally use one A) because I like the Kryta Greatsword skin more than the Bronze Generic Greatsword skin and
B) because I’ve never used one

Well call my educated kitten stupid because what happens when I double click the stone is total confusion. I get a window where I can place 2 items. Well then what? How do I know which skin I’m keeping or which “attributes” are going where and vice verse? There is no tutorial anywhere that I can find and I don’t want to end up with the lame Krtya stats on my Bronze skin! I want the Bronze stats on the Kryta skin. Can someone please explain in as much detail as possible what I’m supposed to do with this window that pops up?!

Overwhelming amount of thief changes Dec 3

Brutakus.2784

what were you expecting? the thief is on a very good state atm. Stealth still needs to be fixed (channeled abilities following though stealth and pets/clones/phantoms also following though stealth) aside from that i think were very strong as we are.

Hilarious. When a class member says “I think we are very strong as we are” and prefaces that with “I want complete vanish! Nothing can follow me into stealth!” I roll my eyes. Srsly, how much more OP do you want to be?
