Client Crashing constantly [Merged]

I did Triple Trouble Wurm on the absolute lowest graphical settings and made it through the entire thing fine. As everyone was standing around chest I started to raise my graphical settings to max one by one from top to bottom. Crashed a few seconds after raising Character Model Limit and Quality. It could have been a buildup of many variables, or entirely a coincidence. Very hard to test the cause of it as it takes time to appear.

Sometimes the error report box appears, but I can still move around in-game behind the box, there is no sound and chat doesn’t work, it will finally crash minutes later.

Game Updates: Wardrobe, Transmutation, Outfits

I don’t know if this has been asked before in this thread, forgive me if it has, but is there any word on whether previously bought cultural armor skins could be added to the wardrobe. I bought every skin over a year ago, however due to bank space issues, I salvaged some of the ones I never used. Now with the wardrobe feature, I feel like I could have been able to keep those skins without taking up my bank space.

Halloween MF recipes disabled

I have had the recipe for the Gift of Souls since halloween last year, and I finally finished farming 100 Crystal Lodestones to make The Crossing, and yesterday I was running CoE to get the other gift needed. I was 57 tokens short, and decided to wait till the next day to get the bonus and finally craft it. Today I see in the patch notes “The Mystic Forge recipes for The Mad Moon, Arachnophobia, and The Crossing have been temporarily disabled. They will be updated and return at Halloween.”

So now I have to wait till halloween again to get it. How will it be updated I ask? Will it be buyable/lootable again, dropping the price on the TP, making it cheaper than crafting it? Or will it become more expensive, with a completely different recipe? Only time will tell.

Is there an explanation on what is happening to these items? Because I would really like to finish crafting it.

Ascended and legendary miniatures?

I’d totally get a Legendary Dopelganger mini. It could mimic your character right down to the face customization, armor, dyes etc.

Jump Shot no longer jumping

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

I don’t know if this was intended or not, but it seems that Engineer Jump Shot kinda “sticks” to the ground now, you slide along rather than arc like you used to. This means you can’t jump over certain walls and across gaps like you used to be able to, cliffs especially make you drop like a stone, rather than being able to cross the gap.

Took some shots to demonstrate: http://imgur.com/a/YdATK

Thought it would be fun to play some music on the new Choir Bell that I got for Winterday.

http://youtu.be/J899Qy_qWDI

There are some timing issues, but that is mostly due to the restrictions of the game, there is a short cooldown when changing octaves, and there is a lot of input lag. Nethertheless I think it turned out great.

Post videos of your own music!

When is chest loot determined?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

Thats a good question, sir. And for the ones that claim it is not affected my MF, do you have any official word on it? Because my chest drops are MUCH better with a MF set, so either it is a huge coincidence that I get lots of rares and exotics from chests when I use MF set and dont get when I dont use or MF does affect chests (which, in my experience, seems to be what happens).

You see, what we have here is called a Placebo.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Magic-Find-Chests/first#post598159

Chests are not affected by MF at all.

I got knocked off the edge of the spiral during the part where you destroy the netting, I died on the cliff face where no one could reach me, so I ported out. I got stuck in an infinite loading screen and never managed to get back in.

"My undead servants have never been alive" ???

Necromancers essentially make golems out of bits of the dead, they are only alive as long as magic holds them together. That is my interpretation of it anyway.

This is funny, I have been using a build in sPvP since the release almost exactly the same as this. It is very fun and i highly recommend anyone try it, just to get a taste of an alternate Necro play style.

Hammers: what's the fuss about?

in Engineer

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

Hammers sound like a really good and fun alternative for the Engineer.
They should definitely incorporate forms of technology to make the abilities really unique to the Engineer.
Swinging the hammer around your head on the end of a chain for an AOE
Throwing a mine on the ground and then smacking it with the hammer for blast finisher.
Buffing the end of your hammer with shrapnel for bleeds, or oil for burning.

Dye Combinations

in Guardian

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

Because I spend most of my time in WvW, I like to change colors depending on which color my server is representing each week. I don’t have the widest range of dyes on my Guardian, I don’t have much selection, but I am looking to expand. I use Apricot, Winter Sky and Limette, which are all default dyes. I also use Natural to give it some trim and make the primary color stand out. I don’t like using the brightest colors available, I like them being subtler. On other characters I use various different dyes that may potentially look good on Guardians including Sea Green, Moss, Country Teal, Papaya and Amber.

I think a system that tallied your monthly achievements, and gave you a Wintersday gift based on these would be a good way to go. Definitely not a separate achievement asking for 1 million kills or something stupid.

What if the Six and Eternal Alchemy are one and the same?

Right, as I said, that statue is of Melandru. But it’s not of Mellaggan. The quaggan simply… renovated it, so to speak.

What is it you don’t understand? I am saying the same thing as you, you are just repeating my point while adding nothing further to the conversation.

You clearly stated that Mellaggan = Melandru and there is a statue to prove it, which is not true. So he is not repeating what you are saying, he is in fact correcting you.

If you read my original post, I said “it is quite clearly Melandru, even the statue that can be found near them”

Looking at your video, I notice you switching to the horn to utilize the speed boost. This definitely seems like an unintended effect, they recently changed Spectral Walk functionality because of a similar issue.

Completed the Personal Story on my Necro, and rarely had an issue with difficulty. Currently playing an Engineer, lvl 33 and up to the lvl 39 story mission, only now is it starting to become hard, for obvious underleveled reasons.

What if the Six and Eternal Alchemy are one and the same?

in Lore

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

Actually, it’s not “quite clearly Melandru” – that’s just how human scholars believe the case is. The statue you see is not of Mellaggan but an abandoned human statue of Melandru that the quaggan simply use.

Well, as a human scholar, I do believe it to be the case. Anyway, I am pretty sure that is what I said regarding the statue.

Posted by: Cassius.8945

It is quite likely that every religion is a by-product of something else. That is what the Eternal Alchemy is interpreted as. Just like how the Quaggan worship a deity known as Melaggan, when it is quite clearly Melandru, even the statue that can be found near them.

Is Engineer At a disadvantage With no access to Signets?

in Engineer

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

@CriSPeH
If anything signets are the exact opposite. To me a signet is like a magically imbued talisman than anybody can use, regardless if they can use magic or not. That is why they give you passive buffs, imagine a ring or amulet with an active skill, and you have signets.

Trait idea for "Reanimator"

in Necromancer

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

As a necromancer who doesn’t use minions, but still uses 10 points of the Death Magic trait line, the Jagged Horror is pretty useless, however minion regeneration would be even worse. Either remove/alter the cool down of the skill to allow multiple Jagged Horrors, or make it something that will be more globally useful, like the other trait lines.
Something that increased the length/intensity of boons on you when hit would be pretty nice.
Increasing the speed of the Staff projectile would also be a good alternative, seeing as the Death Magic tree has a few other staff related traits.

[Spoilers] ArenaNet "confirms" the fan theories about Elder Dragons?

in Lore

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

What if there actually is no 6th dragon, there is instead a “Great Adversary”, which the elder dragons were created to oppose. This creature decided that the best way to deal with the threat of the elder dragons was to ally itself (or manipulate) the races of Tyria, and persuade them to defeat the elder dragons for it. It is playing the long game.

Who do we know of that has become a great leader of the major races in Tyria, with seemingly no effort? That’s right, Trahearne.

Due to Ventari’s Tablet’s changing the outcome of the Pale Tree, Trahearne had to come up with a different plan, releasing himself from the tree as the firstborn, and passing the the consciousness of “Pale Tree” to one of his (now good) champions. None of the good Sylvari are aware of this, even the Pale Tree herself.

I remember during my Sylvari Personal Story, we defeat Mazdak the Accursed with the sword Caladbolg, afterwards Trahearne takes the sword from us and returns to the Pale Tree to spread word of our victory “I’ll be sure to tell her the tale of Mazdak’s defeat.”, or does he? It is entirely possible Trahearne lied about what happened and claimed he did everything, giving himself favor with the Pale Tree, and in turn the entire Sylvari people. This event leads to him being returned Caladbolg by the Pale Tree, saves Claw Island, and is appointed the leader of The Pact.

As the leader of the Pact, Trahearne has the ability to lead the races and Orders of Tyria and wipe out the Elder Dragons, leaving the path free for his own conquest.

Please note that I had not been drinking or smoking before writing this, and is half as insane as many crazy theories out there.

Pistols not displaying correctly with certain outfits.

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

It happens with more than pistols, in fact every hip weapons has it, but I notice this most with daggers and foci.
It is due to the location where the items are equipped, and doesn’t take in to account the size of armor worn. The only way to fix this is to change the location from the player hip (which will be the same for every thing), to a location unique to every type of armor, which will take a long time to do.

Sylvan Hound Puppies?

in Lore

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

My guess is the hounds are released from the tree during their growing stage, and hence we call them puppies before they reach maturity.
Sylvari stay in their pods until they mature, but inside their pods, they go through the growing process in the same way.

Mobile browsing certificate

Trying to browse the forums from my Nokia Lumia 710 Windows Phone gives me a security message on every page I go to.

To paraphrase the message, it says “We are having trouble with this site’s security certificate, the certificate wasn’t issued by a trusted certificate authority”

Is there anyway to fix this on my end, or is it an issue with the site?

Also are there any plans for a mobile version of the site in the future?

Accept button placing multiple runes on the same piece of gear

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Cassius.8945

Cassius.8945

A little back-story: my mouse has been acting up recently and causing really fast double clicks when I click the left louse button.

Well just earlier I was applying a stack of runes to my new armor set when I accidentally put two runes on the same piece. This was caused by clicking the accept button, and my mouse causing a double click on the button, resulting in two runes used up.

I don’t see why this would be the case, other than an issue of bad programming.

This has happened a few times in the past, however I was never sure what happened, but have decided to report it now, because I am certain that this is what caused it.

Is there anyway I could get refunded the cost of this rune?
