Guild Wars 2

Then replace them with crafting components of equivalent value (default sell vendors).

This way we can have a use for crafting which isn’t just for legendaries/exotic.

Keep the Greens and above but there really is no reason for blues and greys to be in the loot at all.

I suggest you check youtube for some guides that story part is a bit odd and not very clear.

Makes me laugh everytime that I forget to report but it’s an animation bug where by some drink appear in the wrong hand to the one the drink animation is used.

Would be very useful having a huge norn makes some jumping puzzles nearly impossible.

Put them in these and then they wont move, very useful things.

Gold Uses

- Also the way things scale for repair and teleports (within areas) should reflect what level you are in.
So if you are damaged in a level 1-15 area it should cost 1 amount not the same as if you are damaged in a level 80 area or base it on armour value but not level
Map wide teleports I have no issue with but intermap teleports really should relate to the level of that area if I’m in a level 80 area I expect 1-2 silver per teleport but in a 1-15 I really don’t.

Classes

- I know most the classes are able to do anything but there are too many areas where they overlap and become redundant.

- 1 speed/haste skill per main weapon, underwater weapon and useable skill per class, we don’t need them to stack but it’s a nice think to have options.

Races

- I strongly object to the class racial skills, these should be available to all and learn from a area. It really detracts from people trying out other races if they find out that one race has a good skill set such as the Asura have this golem that is tanky and another such as norn transforms, which just are not good for many classes or even an option.

Guilds

- Guilds need a place to hang out, maybe a guild room that they can buy vanity items for gems/research maybe even practical things such as workshops and small ore things I dunno.

- Guild level events, it would be nice to have something that requires a guild currently it’s just a formality in some cases and apart from WvW which is server based there isn’t anything to really do yet.

Story Events

- I’m going to say I loved it up to the end bits.
SpoilerRantThe huge battles the fighting the minions backs, the killing the mouth and eyes numerous times, the killing the big dragons and other dragons and that overly bad death scene where you fight the arcmage/lich thing and it is about to kill a woman then some guy throws himself to die, I was winning that fight and resurrected him, it kind of sucked.

Point is the story telling up to this point was fantastic it fitted in with what is going on in the main world and it made sense, after a while it just went downhill and felt really rushed, not to mention I had no idea who most these random people from the other races at the end as I had not meet some and others it was brief.

The story line could just finish with you joining the ranks about to fight the big fights and then have massive map events constantly of everyone getting involved that would of worked wonders for immersion and storytelling as it would still be going on and would feel like you are taking part in some epic battle, not you win then you walk outside to see you’ve effected nothing it was all a dream style of things.

I am happy that the devs are so active but I do think that some areas of the game do need to change for the better most of it I love and think you did a fanastic job.

Also Grr Forum limits

Please note most of the game I enjoy and have no real issue with.

However the following I’ve spoken about numerous times with my guild mates.

NPCs:

- Spawning from air, it’s a really annoying problem I have against most games, can we at least have some sort of animation for their creation, some mobs have this for events but why not have all the mobs do it, villagers can come out of houses, animals from bushes/trees, creatures from snow piles.

- Repair Text is annoying I don’t need to read the same message about fighting bears each time I repair, just end it when I repair or say thank you.

- Creature that scale in level, just a solid no. If you want to do this change the name slightly but please do not recycle the same mobs in high level areas unless you are going give them the same stats as a low level area, it really breaks any immersion you have when you kill a deer in one place with 5 hits then in another area it’s level 50 and it has super powers.

UI

- Text boxes are problematic, if you have your chat box too stretched it jumps up and moves into your screen and there is no freedom to place it.

- HP numbers on friendly and hostile, let us see them or at least a percentage but I want to know how much damage I’m doing to a monster, it’s fun to compare stats afterwards. (I don’t care much for PVP or WvWvW but for PVE I feel it’s important).

- Cooldowns, if they are reduced change the number to reflect that, seeing a slow 0.8 ticking down is misleading at the best of times.

- Market needs a massive overhaul, I know people have already suggested this but could take a leaf out of CCP’s book when it comes to the market it’s very slow buggy and it’s hard to know how much of our money is being taken.

- Mail limit is annoying, why can’t we have a decent mail system with guild mail, friend mail.

- Mail report button / Custom spam filter (looks for words that we deem to be spam, I’m sick of the gold seller mails).

- Remove players from a party who are log out for over 15 minutes or clearly make it aware that they are gone, sometime you don’t even know they are gone and it’s annoying.

- Put all representing alt characters under the active online one, people want to be able to read up on who is who and also what levels they are etc.

- UI to see all enemies with their range and filters so you can select by class, type, range. This would make PVP and PVE so much better, it doesn’t have to be fancy but it gets annoying when you have targeted abilities and you are trying to put it on 1 enemy/friendly then something else gets in the way and you click that instead, very difficult and no mass tabbing with 50 things trying to kill you is not an option.

Items:

- Items that are the same should be able to stack, if I buy 2 set of salvagers I should be able to stack them when they both total less than 15.

- Items that are effectively the same should be under the same market area.

- We need a way of making high level items = > many low level items, not in a high extent but just so that the low ends balance out, the current market I see no reason it will change which just makes me think someone didn’t think this out.

- Crafting items in general there is no real profit in it, reduce or remove below rare drops and just have raw materials so that making armour/weapons etc is a thing that people want.

I have really no good title for this.

However as most people are well aware you can craft many low end craft materials into something of higher value using a few catalysts.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge#Fine_Crafting_Material_Promotion

As such

50 Small Claws
1 Claw
5 Pile of Radiant Dust
5 Philosopher’s Stone

Can give between 5-12 Claws (Maybe set this to just 10 the randomness seems a bit pointless)

Would we be able to get the reverse so that the low end items can balance out a bit more.

So for 50 small claws

10 Claws
1 Small Claw
5 Pile of Shimmering Dust
5 Philosopher’s Stone

I believe would allow tiers to scale better for the market place so rather ages to get the market settle it could be quicker as the raw materials can be processed up and down with a catalyst.

Admittedly I haven’t tried to see if already works, but from reading there isn’t a way to downgrade items of a higher value.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Free-World-Transfers-Limited-to-Once-Every-24-Hours

After reading this I was a bit confused as to why transfers don’t just disallow you from joining WvW for 24 hours but I understand why it is an issue and why this has been implemented.

The downside for me and many others is that I want to play with friends on other servers so when this goes into effect we can’t just wander over to their server and play with them.

So my question is when will guesting be enabled/implemented etc?

I had the same issue but it doesn’t count till you die.

I just massed crafting goods and that worked well enough.

Send them a bug report and maybe ask them on twitter.

1) The game isn’t crysis
2) Buggy Software shouldn’t make you require Better Hardware

And maybe instead of telling everyone to OC their new Expensive PC’s maybe you should use that time to help arenanet by bug reporting the hell out of all the CPU and GPU FPS drops that you can find.

I will post screenshots tomorrow however I shut down my PC an hour ago and I have no intention to get into a he said she said argument about FPS in lion’s arc or whatever.

Cbuzz.5083:

Wrong, overclocking will help EVERYONE who plays Gw2, regardless of Cpu. Even my cpu slows down in massive WvW’s or Zergs. But at 5Ghz, it’s like a night & day difference.

Until you’ve tried it & know what your doing stop talking crap.

Funny mine at 2.6Ghz stays comfy at at least 40 FPS during WvW and Most Zerg things.

And it doesn’t change the fact that there is a problem with the game software that is making our hardware do more work, which once it’s fixed should make everyone’s computers happier.

Some people can get benefits from overclocking, like the guy with 3 monitors, but most games shouldn’t require or need it and if they did they would explain why and how to do it.

I don’t think most people with low FPS Problems use triple monitor setups.

You are a special case of yes OC can help your performance, most cases it will not.

Still don’t know why you needed to show off your kitten but ok gratz you found a rare condition where it does make a difference.

Cheekything.6941:

Also note that Overclocking is pretty pointless, there is about 0 reasons to do it and many people seem to think that it’s required for gaming when it’s not.

Sounds like someone bought a laptop or non-OC’able sandy/ivy CPU.

GW2 is a very single-threaded program that likes raw MHz. Overclocking gives it those MHz, and therefore lets it give you more FPS.

Assumptions are always a bad thing.

However if you think that your new computer needs to be overclocked to get more FPS when a 5 year old PC can run it on the bare minimum pretty OK then I think you have something wrong with your hardware.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Running_the_game

I mean seriously some of you people are just all about the kittens.

*Low FPS Drops. (when it drops suddenly) *

This most likely isn’t your hardware at fault, unless you otherwise know it is, if you have a Laptop check if it supports Shader 3.0 else-wise you should be fine.

Stuttering FPS (where fps becomes jerky and stutters).

Screenshot where and report it, personally I have this in areas with rain, massive particle effects (well expected) and sometimes underwater.

Preferably post it in the mega thread > https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Low-FPS-merged

This thread is perfect for posting the screenshot of where and your system specs if you have the need to show off.

“Do I need to Overclock?”

No, simple answer you probably do not need to Overclock for this game and anyone who tells you that you need to may not know what they are talking about.

There are a select few who could benefit from this but these same people would be better off getting a computer that is new and isn’t 5+ years old.

Always check the specs which most people should be far beyond.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Running_the_game

tl:dr wait for a fix stop thinking you are at fault and help make the game better.

Overclocking will not give you any decent FPS boost in this case.

Your CPU and GPU are more than enough for this game, the problem is not with you it’s with the game.

Also note that Overclocking is pretty pointless, there is about 0 reasons to do it and many people seem to think that it’s required for gaming when it’s not.

Overclocking also has a bounty of downsides that no one likes to talk about the first being heat.

Also to anyone that doesn’t frame limit after 60FPS (unless you use 3d then 120 FPS) don’t brag how you have 9001 FPS it’s stupid and irrelevant, if you want to generate higher electric bills go ahead but this is a tech support not a kitten competition.

I only seem to have a FPS issue in areas where there is rain, could we get an option to just turn rain off (if there is one I can’t find it).

Shael.4703:

Try this:

• Just continue playing

That’s what I did the first time. I never have to retry it. Seriously, just continue to play, as long as he is alive, cutscenes and other triggers will trigger. It worked that way for me, so hopefully it works for you too.

The bug stops after a cutscene. If he bugs again, I just make sure he is alive and continued without him. On the next dialogue scenes (not necessarily cutscenes), he just showed up out-of-nowhere and started helping me.

After trying that method and it still doesn’t work, then sadly, you’ll have to wait until it gets fixed. But do pray the workaround works (workaround = make sure he is alive and just continue with the mission).

Doesn’t stop it being a bug.

Many people are “squishy” classes can’t do this quest solo which is unfair on those people who don’t have the benefit of a guild or friends.

And it’s been a few days since I put in a ticket no response which sucks.

I’ve noticed that Minions become increasing useless as you level up to being with they were great but about level 30-40 they became more of a hindrance

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Minion if anyone needs a read up.

And there doesn’t any reason to keep them after around level 40 as the condition damage is vastly superior.

Honestly it’s a bit of shame as it just makes necros a bit of a one trick pony and that is kinda of a bummer to deal with.

Anyone else found a decent minion build that is superior or equal to condition damage necros?

Honestly the best way is to just complete areas untill you have about 3-5 gold (it’s not as much or as hard as it seems) then do a bunch of crafting to level up, there are many guides on how much of each item you need and in which order to craft them.

How is this a bug?

Still bugged for me, the NPCs just sit at the entrance after the cave cutscene.

I tried walking to the exit but it was blocked, tried to kill all the enemy AI but more just constantly spawn.

This quest is getting slightly annoying.

I would also like to know if items and money from the disappearing magic act yesterday will be reimburse/reappear or are we going to have to just move on?

Cliff Spradlin.3512:

Hi,

The queue of stuck transactions is still getting cleared out. At the current rate, it looks like it’ll be about 5 hours before it’s all cleared up.

At that point, assuming no bugs in the trading post, a user will be in 1 of 2 situations:

1. For ‘instant’ buy orders that don’t complete (for example the user didn’t have enough money, or the item was no longer available), the user’s money will be refunded back to their character’s wallet automatically and silently.
2. For other orders, part or all of the order may be completed. The proceeds can be picked up in the pickup tab when you’re at a trading post NPC. What that means is that you might see less money in your pickup tab than you expect, since each item in your sell or buy order can be purchased individually by other players. You can check the current status of an order using the ‘My Transactions’ tab.

I’m really sorry for the delays in the trading post. We’re doing our best to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.

Does this mean in the next 5 hours anything that disappeared into nothingness will be reappearing with milk and cookies or is this for another issue?

Same issue, send in a bug report and send them a message on twitter, you should all do the same if you haven’t already hopefully they will fix it quickly.
