What I would like to turn off is the 3D graphic effects when I don’t have 3D. In some areas everything is a big blur and hard to see especially while I’m trying to find a spot to land when I’m gliding.

But Southsun Cove has a portal in Lion’s Arch. I shouldn’t be a big deal to add it to the Portal to Tyria list.

If the game is that easy then strip all your gear down to nothing and play starting in Queensdale and play with only equipable drops. Then move on the next level area upgrading only from equipable drops. Heck they should make an achievement for that.

I wouldn’t mind fewer waypoints if I had a jetpack and were able to glide anywhere. The game artists would appreciate that their artwork would viewed more often than once.

Suggestion: Fractal Exotic Equipment Box

The 20 Slot Fractal Exotic Equipment Box works great as intended for acquisition of equipment. Please make it work for unequipping equipment also. If not already make the box work for exotic and above.

Here it is 2017 and this is still a problem. I have 5 in 2 stacks. I don’t have that many unused toon slots. So destroying the smaller stack is the logical thing to do.

Put an npc to rez when Dragon's Stand resets

Being resurrected by an NPC would take forever. You need to use the WP quickly to get back on your feet and check whether you ended up on the same map as your commander and the rest of your squad. There is no time to waste.

P.S. I agree that it’s a stupid mechanic.

One rez generates a chain reaction. Besides players get exp for each rez.

Stacks disappear underwater

Posted by: Carnius Magius.8091

Carnius Magius.8091

As I said before, sigil stacks broke at the time anet changed to 5 stacks per player kill while in WvW. I don’t buy the argument that losing stacks by switching to underwater weapons is by game design. If it were by design I would lose stacks by switching from a bow to a sword. Support for this game is practically non existent in this forum.

I did notice if you jump in the water to swim without diving the stacks do not disappear. Underwater battle isn’t important to me, so stacks underwater isn’t necessary. I just want the stack back when I get out. The bug was introduced when they gave 5 stacks per kill in WVW. Put the old code back and I’ll be happy.

WvW armors can't be salvaged

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Carnius Magius.8091

Carnius Magius.8091

I was satisfied with the old function of transmutation crystals. I bought a bunch of them for the purpose of transferring runes from unsalvageable armor to ascended gear. Since only the rune was transferred , the armor remained unlabeled as transmuted. My investment in crystals are now rendered useless. Now I have 12 pieces of armor with upgrades I have no choice but to destroy. I can’t even flush them down the mystic toilet.

Upgrade Extractor usage

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Carnius Magius.8091

Carnius Magius.8091

Can Upgrade Extractors be used on any weapon or piece of armor regardless of source or binding? For example, will it extract runes from karma armor with either stock runes or overwritten with other runes? What about runes applied to WvW armor. I know cheap runes would be a big waste. I’m just curious.

As it stands Black Lion salvage kits don’t work. I had a bunch of Transmutation Crystals but ANET rendered them useless before I could use them as they were originally intended.

question regarding load time

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Carnius Magius.8091

Carnius Magius.8091

Reminds of the old GW1 days when you entered an area for the first time. The game client didn’t download an area of the map until it was needed. The -image switch in the command line would finish downloading the complete game with all the new content. GW2 downloads all the new content at startup.

If load times really bother you use the -verify command line switch. It should take about 6 minutes to verify the 280k+ files in the GW2.dat file. For the fastest speeds, GW2 should located as close to the outermost sectors of the hard drive as possible.

For those who have slow load times, post how long it takes to verify your GW2.dat file. This should eliminate your hardware and put more of the blame on the server and your internet connection.

Good for you. But a lot more people but you are just one man afterall.

Did you really need to bother with such a useless reply?

There is no valid need for a fee to change disciplines. ANET got rid of fees to change traits and to repair armor. ANET can do the same with crafting. There is nothing here to argue about.

Upgrade Extractors

Carnius Magius.8091

Do Upgrade Extractors work on all soulbound on acquire items? I have upgraded armor that can only be used or destroyed. The mystic toilet doesn’t even want this junk. I know better now not to put expensive runes on ready made merchant armor. The Transmutation Crystals that I paid for with gems were rendered useless before I could use them on my finished ascended armor. The price of Upgrade Extractors are too high to be used for most upgrades. So go ahead and tell me I’m SOL

I only play one toon. I did all 8 crafting disciplines on my ranger. My other toon slots are only used as mules at the moment. 40-50 silver doesn’t encourage me to level more toons. I have my reasons to only play one toon. So let it go at that.

The fee never made any sense. I would settle for free once per day or so per toon. 50 silver to craft nourishment while slowly crafting ascended weapons and armor isn’t really necessary. The 50 silver is meant to discourage something. Discourage what?

Mean to encourage you to use a different character for the other profession thus by implication, discourage one character for all purposes.

If that were the case then why have the master crafter achievement?

Total man hours in WvW

Carnius Magius.8091

Actually I’d like to see the man hours for all servers for each timezone and day of the week. I see some servers have 24/7 coverage while others only going to have a small fraction of that. The winner of each week can pretty much be determined by which server has the best world coverage.

My server pretty much given up on this season of WvW. Sad to see the out manned icon on more hours of the day than off. Players have realized they have better use of their cash than to spend it on upgrades that never get finished and siege the rarely gets refreshed.

This season the Undermanned icon is showing about 20 out of 24 hours a day on my server. I don’t have to scratch my head to understand why.

[Suggestion] How about you make WvWvW smaller?

in WvW

Posted by: Carnius Magius.8091

Carnius Magius.8091

The problem I see in WvW is seeing the outnumbered icon showing up way too many hours in a day. The outnumbered buffs are a joke. I’d rather see some sort of fair handicap system implemented to keep all colors on each map have an even advantage regardless of time of day. ANET needs to find ways to even the playing field when most of the players are in bed or at work/school on any given server. I’d like to see an end of the bandwagon effect, but there is money to made from server hopping.

Gaming mouse for gw2

I use a G700 for GW1 and 2. All 13 G700 buttons are put to good use. I also use a Logitech wireless game pad in my left hand for even more buttons. My disability prevents me from being able to use regular keyboard. For typing I use a drop down virtual keyboard for the simple stuff and a small mini bluetooth keyboard for regular chat. This setup gets me by since I’m not a hard core gamer. I don’t have much room for a corded mouse, so the G600 is out the question. I’ve tried corded mice and the drag caused by the cord is awful.

Add a nourishment button between the Elite skill button and the mini map. The button can be stocked from a selected item from a storage bag. A graph can built into the icon to show time remaining and greyed out when empty. considering the size of the skill icons, a nourishment button could be divided in 2 or 4 segments to hold up to 4 different consumables.

What happened to the Hylek?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Carnius Magius.8091

Carnius Magius.8091

My Krait Obelisk Shard had several Hylek near it in my Home instance. May I have them back? Why were they removed?

Are you checking with the same character? I think they’re from the part of the personal story where you get to interact with one of the less advanced races, so only ones that did the Hylek one will have them there.

…I think…

You are correct. I have one low level toon parked there just for mining. My toon responsible for the Obelisk Shard was used to create charged quartz crystals. As soon as my low level toon reached level 10, it became eligible to use the Obelisk Shard. That’s when I noticed something was missing.

Stacking & Zerging

Carnius Magius.8091

Stacking and Zerging is good way to get daily and monthly achievements out of the way. I see no incentive to play WvW for any other purpose other than for farming. No glory for winning and it’s no big deal for losing. Seems like many in Fort Aspenwood has taken this attitude.
