I was having issues a month or so ago, and installed the 64-bit client. No more crashes, very minimal screen lag/freeze issues.. until today.
Got the Windows 10 service pack update. No issues with any other program on my system, which is brand new, just built in October, a mirror to the one my husband is using, except for our towers (he’s got a RAIDMAX Narwhal ATX-920WB, and I’ve got a RAIDMAX Vampire ATX-001WBTi with some added fans and lights- I’m girly all the way, what can I say!) so, anyway, get the service pack update today and the poo is flung directly at my screen this evening. Every 3-5 minutes my screen would freeze up so badly, I fell from the skies trying to do the North starting events in DS. I quickly exited to my desktop and launched using the 32-bit client. It was much better though still had that hanging on by spit and luck feel to it.
My husband has not applied the Windows update to his system yet. He has had some screen lag issues but nothing NEAR what I had tonight, so we’ll keep you all updated as we try to pinpoint what is going on.
Thank you for some feedback. Sounds like GW2 64bit + Windows 10 is fail for some folks then.
Gotta love these ArenaNet devs….. So far the most amazing devs left their companies and went to Robert’s company (Start Citizen). Just means those game we love (loved?) will continue to suffer when the talent leaves and goes elsewhere
I put in a request about a bug that wouldn’t let me finish the fine dining, over a year ago. I just tried to complete it again and it is still bugged. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this problem? The Last 2 items will not show up (Plate of Asparagus Dinner & Recipe: Feast of Truffle Steak) even though I have created and opened them multiple time. So I can’t complete the collection. Thanks for any help you can give me.
In BETA I put in a bug about Mouse Scrolling while holding Right Click. IT was JUST fixed this year. 3 Years later
Trust me, that bug has 2 more years to go before they fix it
(edited by Crawford.4135)
It took them until recently to fix the RightClick+Zoom In/Out in the game. Welp, they finally sent some of their devs to update their coding skillset. I only say that because in the settings it says “BETA”
That’s right, Devs – I said it. You can finally remove those BETA bug reports I put in back in 2011 when I was testing the game.
Whatever, man. Look, I gotta admit it: the skill level required to get excellent results on a warrior is so incredibly low as compared to a thief is absolutely kittening ridiculous, and yet it’s the thieves that keep getting nerfed still. I’ve written so much about the thief and how to counter it, and have even provided ANet with the means of mathematically proving its balance, and not only have they completely ignored me, but they have in fact swayed with the mindless sheep droning on without end because of their own lack of skill.
Personally, I’m still going to play thief. I’ve played thief since I first got the game, and I find every other profession far too boring to even touch (excluding, maybe, mesmer). I also love the mobility that I get on my thief. I will, however, say one thing in particular: ever since necros became OP, I’ve been playing full zerker gear, which is optimal against condi builds but is generally more fun to play anyways. Since then, however, the purpose has shifted from being directed against condi builds to being against ridiculously OP warrior builds in general. If I don’t run zerker, I don’t do any damage and I get smashed anyways. If I do run it, then I take a huge risk that relies entirely upon my own skill while my opponent facerolls the keyboard. I do an insanely small amount of damage while having to stay at a range and time my dodges well. On the other hand, if I get hit more than once or twice, I’ll probably just drop dead.
I also now have to run 3(!!!) stun breakers as well + shadow return along with immobilize/cripple/chill breakers via Shadow Returns, Withdraws, and Roll for Initiatives at suboptimal times. I still run my 10/0/0/30/30 build, but the amount of effort in order to get anything done is almost ridiculous. Furthermore, guardians have now become so ridiculously difficult to kill that I usually take only two or three stabs at them before I decide to simply walk away. I’ve seen groups of 5-10 people in WvW unable to take down a guardian easily because of how stupid they are right now.
But no, ANet, thieves, of all professions, are completely OP.
Well said my brother Thief, well said. If only they would listen to such logic. Sadly common sense and logic – you’re either born with it, or you’re not. Sadly, they’re not
Here is a probability distribution of the current opportunist with dagger auto attack (2 rounds; a total of 4 seconds and 8 individual hits not affecting the next time frame). As you can see its not really overpowered for regular attacking. What it is severely going to hurt is builds like S/P and P/P who can fit more than 8 attacks into a 4 second time frame. Those builds do not need a nerf right now. (to read it you need to know the region of at least X to Y initiative gain versus the total area under the curve).
(As a side note, I think what bothers me most about this patch is it rewards less active/aggressive play through this and HtC)
Good graph. You can draw it in a sky, write it in a dictionary or etch it into concrete, and it still wouldn’t be taken seriously by the team
Just like the title says. Thank You Anet Devs for the feedback. I know it is hard to give us too much information, in fear of being mis-quoted. But thank you again for the input that you have given, and the light that you have shed on some of the major concerns we the Thief community have on the upcoming patch. Although there are some disagreements I too do have on the new game breaking Thief patch preview, I know you are doing this for the betterment of your game. I just hope we can stay in the loop, meaning, dev’s for every class. I know that was something you guys have been working on doing.
Keep up the good work !
Did I miss what they said? I haven’t see anything but the post from Jon about the changes coming to our class. If he’s said anything else to that, please provide a link.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this thread could have been avoided if the developers actually played the thief.
You know that’s a funny point. Throughout WvW this past year I have yet to see one of their ArenaNet employees out in WvW with a Thief. Just makes me laugh, and proves more points.
