Just move your mouse.
HUD disappearing is what is usually does.

No kidding. Lol…
Anyways, problems have gotten worse. I now always get a complete blank screen, I can hear the music, I can the pointer. And I can even so called rotate my character in the character selection screen, because the pointer changes to a hand.

Nevertheless other that it’s fully white. I always have -repair the client before I can play which is VERY ANNOYING.
Re-installing didn’t help either.

Hello,

If I login in the character screen I can press play, but nothing happens. None of the buttons work. After a while the whole HUD dissapears.
CTRL + Shift + H doesn’t do anything.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thank you!

Yeah, woops, I’m dumb
I’m either running self-regulating defense (stun breaker) or protection injection in traits and I love the rocket boots, but I’m willing to change it to Elixir S for the stun breaker.

The thing is I;m so in love with rocket boots, since it give you a nice leap and escape with smoke bombs, that I don;t really want to give up. Hence the reason why I was thinking of going -stun duration from melandru.

Does stun also counts as condi?

I have to mention I also don’t run a stun breaker. I rely on healing turret for condition cleansing, but I cant use it when I’m stunned.

Can you explain why? Melandru has more -12% vs -15% condi duration. Am I missing something?

Hello,

I’m looking to get a good rune-set for my condi engineer.
30/0/0/30/10
Full Rabid

I read that perplexity runes are really good if you use bomb kit and shield, which I am using Sadly, I find myself not having enough condition cleanse with only healing turrent and was thinking of using Melandru to get less condition duration.

Both rune-set are hell expensive so I want to be sure I don’t missbuy, currently I have Runes of Undead.

Kind Regards

Gandara&Abbadon's Mouth vs FSP

I don’t mind the lootbags, but its annoying to fight two blobs from different servers at the same time, while repairing and recovering from previous attacks. During the afternoon we could still wipe both Gandara and AM, because Gandara was not using a full blob, but still descent amount to damage a whole lot, especially with AM on your side.

Why does Gandara even need this alliance? I actually used to like playing against Gandara in WvW, its just kittened right now.

PS: Why the toxic and hate comments?
You play too much League of Rage!

2v1 in WvW Working as intended?

Caspian.2814

In our current matchup with get the feeling being 2v1’ed as well.
- Two servers running next to each other without doing jack kitten :P
- Trying to take tower from server A, server B attacks garri, server A can make T3 tower and 3 trebs, because server B bashing at the garri.
- Server A attacking one side of garri, while the other attacking the other side for maybe over 3h
- Taking over a tower from server A, in server A borderland, server B comes in to wipe everyone and leaves the tower

EDIT; Its not against the rules, but its kinda toxic. It’s like fighting two blobs at once in two places, which is already annoying itself, but now its a cross-server blob.

TA meta no longer obtainable?

Posted by: Caspian.2814

From the release notes of Twilight assault:
‘During this release, a new set of daily achievements challenges players to complete either Twilight Arbor or another dungeon that rotates daily. Completing story mode or any of the explorable mode paths will qualify. These daily achievements contribute toward Twilight Assaulted, the meta-achievement for the release.’
So release is over and the meta achievement is gone, just as they said and promised.

Correct, but they didn’t say when it would end. Historically all start of month LS metas carry on until the end of the month. There was no reason to believe otherwise.

Not enough information = wrong information = Anet not communicating well with their player base
It’s these little, minor things who can get people over the edge to permanently quit gw2 so in terms of income, they lose a tiny bit.

Also, this patch specifically says when Blood and Madness will end. the previous patch notes did not say when Aetherblade LS would end.

It’s not in the historical achievements either – is it a bug?

No idea man, I don’t have it on my Historical either :/

We actually (in Far Shiverpeaks [EU]) regularly still kill taco and we even end up doing it several times in an overflow. I actually enjoyed the content, because you had to be organized as kitten.

Aetherpath Living Story

Hello,

Today I discovered the living story from Aetherpath was gone. I have never seen a ending date so I was assuming the Living Story was like previous months, first living story of the month during a whole week.

I had to do one achievement left, so I thought to do it now, I talked to Caith during TA and I got the achievement but not the achievement chest!
+ The living story doesn’t come up in my historical part of my achievements.

FIX THIS PLS and GIVE ME SKIN :/

With dungeons I try to see for myself some good tactics on how to beat the boss, without making my group need to do a lot of hard work.

For the first boss it was very simple: Tell your four random guys to stack on the oil shooting guy (forgot his name), DPS the kitten out of him and tell them you are going to cleanse the oil with that ooze and the ooze buff.
To use this tactic I had to go through ragequitters and trolls, but in the end I found a good way, because the four randoms, all they need to do is fight for themselves and I did the kiting and cleansing.
When the oil shooting guy is down, you focus the ooze and they focus the other guy. GG EASY

Second boss, GG EASY

Last boss, I have no single idea how you can effectively carry your group?
Has anyone tried stacking on him in melee range, going full DPS and you lure ghosts to him to bring his armor down?
Or what do you guys do? I DC’ed and we could not end it, because me as party leader couldnt find a descent solution.

So yes, failing a Dungeon as party leader is 100% your own fault. I had a brilliant idea for the first boss, but because I could not figure out how to kill the last boss, we failed.

This is completely unfair to move the dates forward without further prior notice. I work Friday to Monday, i can’t log onto GW2 then and was expecting to be able to approach the bonfire today only to find out it’s already been patched and removed. To run the Living World story for so many months only to put the final conclusion to it in a 4 day event and then to cut 2 extra days off, which unless we visit the forums frequently which I did not realize was a requirement to play an MMORPG, then we’re the ones who get the short end of the stick?

Please consider extending the bonfire or adding it back in, this decision has upset a lot of people, myself included.

They always claim to care about their community, well, it was their error to post a wrong date and a lot of players are not informed about this 2 day change. It seems they really do care their community /sarcasme

If they really do, they acknowledge their mistake and but back the bonfires for two more days. But hey, it’s still a company.

I would like to add my voice to those already spoken.

I don’t care about the reward, I care about the story. I want closure for months of work. I, like so many others, have limited time to play and can’t check the forums every day or even every other day necessarily. If something like the date change happens, that’s fine, but ANet needs to inform about it by something that if absolutely visible, such as an email to all players. This is really major stuff, and as others have already said this corrodes my faith in ANet’s reliability. Limited time content is ok, but the epilogues and closure segments need to be longer than 48h and if a wrong date is given, then that date must be kept, even if it reschedules something else by a few days.

I’m not mad, but I am extremely disappointed. I’m shipping off to a magical place with no internet tomorrow morning and I’m now apparently unable to get the closure for this long storyline of months and months of work and investment. It doesn’t really inspire me to put effort into future storylines either, nor does it garner any goodwill that would make me buy gems from the Black Lion Trading Company. If you don’t care about anything else ANet, care about this: You’re losing money because of this. I’ve no desire to support a game or a company that does this kind of things to their paying customers.

Sad and true :/ In fact I don’t like feeling to play the game at all right now

PRO: New content
CON: I don’t feel like playing this new content since they rushed the Bonfire achievement from FF 2 days before it’s original ending date. Now I have a fully achieved Living Story, but without a freaking ending achievement, because I didnt log on for two days…

Making me feel like I am being cheated out of game content, does not make me want to rush out and buy a gem card, or use my credit to support, such lazy actions by a developer.

Your employee messed up on writing the official front page news article. The right thing would have been to own up to it, and keep the bonfires in. Not post some announcement on the forum hours before the update, were only a very small portion of players even visit.
I mean they extended the other achievements after being bugged for weeks, preventing some from able to complete Flame and Frost.

Anet is running a business and tiny things like this add up, this is not just about the bonfire, this is about months and months of dealing with this kind of stuff over and over again.

Thought November was a lesson learned? Apparently not. Funny how Southsun, in some way is ruining a simple experience to try and have some fun in video game, once again.

“This achievement can only be earned during the epilogue, which starts on Sunday, May 12 at 12:00pm Pacific and remains active until Thursday, May 16 at 12:00am Pacific.”

GG ArenaNet, I’ve done every achievement from the Living Story and now I get punished because I didn’t went online from 12 May to 14 May. I thought I could go online on the 15th May and end the arc.

………………………. Quite dissapointed there

Hi,
I recently start playing the necro and my friend advised me to use to staff to its full potential. Somehow, I can’t seem to like the staff, so most of the time I end up using dagger/dagger and axe/warhorn.

Another thing I noticed is that I die a lot quicker than my using my engineer. So is staff a must have on necro?

I was aiming toward a condition based tanky necro

Kind Regards,

I tested out full support in PvP, which was a bad idea xD

Posted by: Caspian.2814

Caspian.2814

If read it correctly the build is focusing on tanking, trolling and damaging enemies while still healing your allies?

Is it beneficial for a party to full tank/support and have zero damage in dugeons?
So only buffing, debuffing and tanking while doing zero damage? Or is that something which isn’t viable in gw2-dungeons?

Made a post on this not too long ago, but since it wasn’t another post complaining about the Engineer, it didn’t become popular. This build is everything you’re asking for and more, here is the link:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/A-viable-build-Not-another-rant-post/first#post1355475

Let me know what you think of it.

Seems a good build for the engineer. What should I change in this build to get less damage and more utility ().
Friends of mine said that Cleaning Formula 409 is such an awesome skill for support when playing dungeons. I kinda like to let my buddies do the main damage and I support them, keeping them alive an buffed, while debuffing the enemy.

Or this a mindset I can’t use in GW2?

I actually just saw I made wrong topic, topic should be Tank/Support. I’m looking for great sustain en great party utility.

Hi guys,

I’m actually enjoying the engineer since the beta and somehow, I feel they lack the raw power of DPS’ing.
I previously played LOTRO and I was the healer there, so I’m trying to find a build where I can interupt attack, give buffs/debuffs en heal my allies.

Is it possible to do this an still be able to solo most of your PvE time? Because in LOTRO it was doable to solo as a healer, but it took you long time to kill creeps. On the other hand I pretty much didn’t die a lot.

I would like to transfer this to a PvP and a WvW too.

Basically what I’m searching is a build with Survivability and Supporting your allies.

Halloween Event Achievement

Hi, hello there.

Is there a possible way to get those Halloween achievements? I want to complete all the achievements, because I’d to do everything in game. Sad part is that I couldnt join the Halloween events. So will those Halloween achievements be refreshed? Is it going to be replayable next year?

Or is a hopeless case and those achievements will never ever be completed?

Kind Regards ^^

PS: If they are not going to make it replayable, will those achievements go away with next years Halloween if you didnt do them?
