Guild Wars 2

Apparently thiefs are op if they can steal out of combat. I’m not sure what I woudl consider more incompetent, applying this change intentionally or not.

And how often exactly do you check your temp folder? I have another 10 or so that are also from the temp folder that the firewall won’t show.

No arenanet just made new versions which they put into the temp folder. They stopped that now. Thanks anyway for replying.

Let’s see how fast we can fill harddrives before someone notices

These are all from the last week. Can you cut this crap out? Put them where they belong in /bin64.

Edit: actually they do go to 0%.

Old msg: Smp usage is also so much better. Where as I would get 0% usage out of at least 3 of my cores, that never happens now.

This client works nice. Still have dips to 26 in full dragons stand but at least they are smooth 26 fps. I was maxing almost 7gb of ram there on the gw2-64.exe client. Now can we also please have a decent ui?

This seems such a poor gamedesign desicion, in the sense that it will make the expansion less fun. I was looking forward to playing the new content with my two mains elite specs. Instead I will have to play through it with specs I already know, and will then have to replay content, with the new specs.

I will be a fast race

I have tested a few like midnight ice, but they all look more grey than black. What do I need to make them really black?

It just seems they don’t want this trait to work

There are a lot of bugs in the game and often times there are enough that we can’t get to all of them as fast as we would like. Duelist Discipline not applying to Pistol 4 didn’t get into my queue until after the cutoff date for changes to the 8/25 build. I’ve got it fixed for a future release though.

Thanks for answering here. Ileap has been bugged for 3 years, any news of if it will ever get fixed properly=?

Me and a couple of my friends noticed increased fps (about 10-25% for me) in massive zerg fights in eotm today. Thanks, was truly needed.

What’s also really annoying is most classes playing condi (especially with trapper rune) have no need for secondary stats like power so they can go full vit/tough/condi. Op dmg, op survival.

So a ranger or thief spouting a condi build with trapper rune is very very hard to kill. And in their infinite <insert something else than wisdom> anet have decided that for condi damage you don’t need two secondary stats as for power (prec/fero) condi dmg is enough.

Funny. I don’t desire an individual response, I think this concerns everyone who owns the game why arenenet are helping google to spy on us.

Thanks for all the speculation but I want an answer from arenanet, why a game I have paid for sends information to google.

I want to know why CoherentUI_Host.exe is making encrypted connections to google (1e100.net)?

I have blocked these connections in my firewall and everything is working the way it should.

Otokomae.9356:

Anet has added a “How to Address Lag” guide: https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/91354558-How-to-Address-Lag

As you can see from the guide, you probably just need to update your drivers. I wish this was sarcasm, but the guide actually mentions updating drivers several times…

Funny that they don’t have an option of ‘server is lagging, you can’t do anything’ there as a possibility for lag. Same type of quality as when you read something on this forums you have to login then find the thread again. Most forums when you login bring you to the same spot you already were (this could be a client setting of mine admittedly, shouldn’t be tho).

fifteen lettters prevents spam or something.

This ability has been bugged since release. Some will say it hits ‘most’ of the time, and probably right. It works differently well/poor during different patches.

ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

I played this game for about 6 months or so when it came out. I quit and one of the reasons is the many class bugs and dc´s. Now I’m playing since a couple of weeks except that there are still loads of class bugs (and by that I really mean abilities/spells) and dc´s. I get a couple of dc´s every day. This has not change din the least since I last played this game. I know arenanet blamed their isp back in the day, but honestly arenanet, you pick the isp. If they don’t provide high enough service then you change isp.

Ps. I know arenanet at least historically has blamed this on player connections. Please be aware that not only is my connection exceptionally good I have very carefully monitored it while gaming and don’t get any dc anywhere else while playing gw2.

Yea that was my conclusion after reading the abilities I was thinking that I missed something but I guess not. Thanks for answering!

So I have been searching around a bit and the idea of condi thief has appealead to me quite a bit after returning fairly recently. However most thief condi builds seem to rely on p/d or bow to apply condies and Im just wondering if it woudl be possible to create a d/p s/d condi build at all?

In options -> content guide whichever options I have chosen my personal story still stays visible. Please fix this, I have done 2 chars personal story already just cause I can’t stand having extra clutter in this ui. The UI is subpar already as it is.

Lord Helseth: “Torment on Scepter is the death of Mesmer, the introduction of passive play, it’s going to be scepter AA spam in all PvP modes with Mesmer and nobody’s going to play anything else let alone touch their class mechanic jump jump jump jump jump around……..”

Yeah, this is not a good person to quote for traction. It’s good practice to remember that.

And he is right in regards to condi mesmer being considered the most cheesy class. I quit this game because of constant ileap failures guess Im going to soon again. Arenanet cant even do forums right I see 3 bugs just by posting this, and way way more when I play. It´ pathetic and the reason I don´t spend any real money on this game.

Almost every time it bugs for me theres a height difference and/or the ground to where Im leaping is uneven.

LordHelseth: “Ileap is still extremely buggy”. Thats his reason for staying double ranged.

Ileap doesn’t fail because you are out of range, your clone dies most of the time its just too buggy. Gg Arenanet 2 years now, and it´s still a fail ability.

Fay: " … because it never fails for me." Fanboys like you are the reason game devs can have buggy games forever.

Matron.8013:

Be sure your opponent that you are leaping to is inside your field of vision. I used to think it was front conical but you just have to have them visible on your screen or the leap will/may fail.

No, this isn’t even remotely accurate.

Care to be less vague? Maybe you have some insight into this that you could share?

I could tell you that you’re just bad and using it wrong, because it never fails for me. However, that wouldn’t be productive would it? So instead I asked you to elaborate on how it’s failing for you so that I could more accurately give you advice on how to do it better.

Since you decided not to, I’ll take the first option. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Well I said that it wont transport me. The other guy expands on that saying what he first thought and then that you need to have enemy visible. Now you claim to have more information on how to do an ileap correctly. Can you do that, with a high degree of precision, or did you just come here to complain? I dont really know how many ways a ‘fail’ in regards to that ability can be ambivalent, it only does 2 things.

It doesn´t transport me to my target.

I´m talking about the fact that it fails in about 35-40% of cases.

So I just got a 2 year birthday present on my mesmer 3 days ago. Thanks! I´m wondering when you are fixing the sword ‘3’ mainhand ability. It´s been 2 years now and it´s still not working even remotely to 100%.

Generally incompetent. ‘Fix’ means they have been spending time with it, but not testing it enough to actually confirm its fixed.

Well you cant even make a forum where you can login and get to the page where you want to ‘reply’ so I guess this is a stretch.

About time you fixed culling in wvw? Or are you all running thiefs?

I have ability delay as which I have pointed out previously. My system is pretty much perfect. I have ~150 dpc, 7ms to ftp.sunet.se (no pl) and everything else is as it should. One of the reasons my system is topnotch is that I dont install programs I dont need. If you want a dxdiag or just a look at my hardware or something let me know and Ill provide it.

Karl McLain.5604:

Illusionary Berserker has not received a direct damage decrease. Instead, is seems that the damage reduction you (and I) are seeing is most likely associated this fix:
“Fixed a bug that caused many piercing, boomerang, and bouncing projectiles (those that hit more than 1 target) to continually increase in damage the more targets they hit.”
We are aware that this particular phantasm is now experiencing a significant drop in damage and are looking at getting it back to a more effective state.
Thanks for keeping the post civil and constructive!
-Karl

Sorry for being blunt Karl, but Ill be civil when you guys start testing out your changes before you deploy them. Shoddy work doesnt go well with being constructive, I consider it being destructive.

For us who spend a lot of time in the game every little thing thats wrong gets enhanced by a lot.

With that said I dont really care about this since you guys have pretty much ensured that GS isnt really viable for mesmers any more. What concerns me more is your blatant bug/nerf of the core mechanic of the class, shatters. Is the creation of illusions when you are blinded/out of los/dodged a bug or an intended change?

Gj on event no lag NO LAG. Hey heres an idea, actually TEST stuff before going live.

Always when doing balancing on classes in mmo´s you want to take the ‘razor’ approach, just doing small changes. One example was in swtor when 20% of the pop left (at least on my server) after they did massive changes on pretty much all classes. Not only did they not do that here (doing 3 major changes – 1 to the core mechanic on the class) they didnt even bother doing a quality job, since its a high probability some of these changes are not quite wai.

The reason for the razor (occams if you will) change approach is very very simple: If you do too many changes at once the result will become unpredictable. Hence its easy to calculate the competence of the person inducing these changes.

On top of that they removed my pants in pvp. I finally got them yesterday (I really hates skirts – just cause anet wears them in the office doesnt mean everyone wants them ingame) and now this morning they were removed.

Personally I dont think there should be classes. I think everyone should have just one ability and everything else should be the same. Also, since play over internet can be unfair and individual, it should not be allowed in this game.

Yea this game does have a kittenload of bugs. A-net why arent you fixing them and instead adding new content? I guess it makes it look better to the media (most journalists probably dont play enough to notice a lot of the really annoying ones anyway).

I have this problem too.

Thanks. I´ve been running taugrims legion, but wanted to try a cookie cutter shatter as well.

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-N;9;9;9;09T;0T5;039B;425y is this the spec?

Ryoz.7041,

No no noticeable affect. It can create a disadvantage for certain specs (probably mostly dependent on motherboard) so you have to try it. Latencymon is a nice tool to measure dpc.

Halvaard.1034:

Just wanted to leave a note: Thanks for the tip.
My machine is kinda oldish and these adjustments seem to have given me a smallish boost to fps.

Your welcome. How much fps gain did you get?

Lani.1429:

Disabled core packing without success. My motherboard doesn’t support Hpet, at least i can’t find it.

If anyone know a guide how to unlock amd athlon tm 7750 dual-core 2.50 GHz i can’t find one. I lost hope already and probably gonne buy a new computer because it sickens me.

Yea hpet seems to only be in newer bioses, say ~18-24 months and newer.

Warruz: Im running a sb (intel).

Lani, yes there is a chance it could work.

seithan so its ok that gw2 has ability delay just cause swtor has it? By that logic its ok that gw2 has every bug in every game ever made. I would probably claim I would disagree with that. Besides I know swtor had ability delay in the start but they fixed it.

Warruz.8096:

Good sir my hat is off, this seems to have fixed it i always seem to have the stuttering issue after 2 waypoint jumps. Issue is non existent , i even had this random occurence in PS2 bete i have yet to check it again.

You are very welcome

I have given you an opportunity to try it out for yourself, and instead you are here whining and b*******.

Try to ignore it. I noticed he has a tendency to ask others to test and vid/screencap things FOR him and W&B why it hasn’t been done already and complain if people answer him without video/graphic proof.

Like here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Lucid-Virtu-MVP-and-GW2-HD3000-vs-HD4000/first#post312691

I think you made a great effort in your post. Most have been posted already but it is always good to see it in one post and that people are reminded of it or have a fresh chance of learning of it.

Thanks smack. I noticed (after having posted) the disable core parking has been mentioned. I havent seen a post about hpet though. I just changed 2 things, got a result and posted it for others to use.
