Guild Wars 2

gliding has been causing no problems (except when i forget myself and fly into a no-fly zone…..) and has been absolutely fantastic to use in wvw, i see no reason why we should not keep it.

After 15+ attempts to buy Ultimate in-game (already have HoT) it keeps giving “An Error has Occured”. worked for my wife with no issues (same creditcard). [Canada]

I tried to pre-order in-game and got an error message, restarting the game nolonger gives me the option to preorder? is there something i can do to get the popup to reappear? (the error message went away way too fast for me to even read what it said…)

pretty certain this is only meant to fix the CoR doubl-hitting people standing on the max range of it hitting. Multiple sources of people will still hit the person, just can’t double-hit yourself.

another game my wife plays is experiencing a ddos today aswell, i am willing to bet it’s related.

Which game does she play?, if it is a game NCSoft hosts then it’ll be related.

it’s not an NFSoft game, but if they are hitting the right things it’ll affect us

another game my wife plays is experiencing a ddos today aswell, i am willing to bet it’s related.

With the announcement of “New Fractals” being made, my guess is it will involve some of the Season 1 stuff people missed out on. I’m definately thinking something Watchwork related. Either that or a “Super Adventure Box Fractal level.. lol”

Sorry if this has been asked before, i’ve tried searching without finding the answer i’m looking for.

The Question:: If you hit multiple targets in a single attack (for sigils that proc on critical hit, such as Superior Sigil of Fire), is it possible for the effect to trigger on all targets that are hit with the attack, or will it only proc on the first person that meets the requirements.

Try disabling the “Windows Search” service, can cause 100% disk usage.

can use the follwing guide, or just google how to do it.

Now… just add a Permanent Bank Access to the gem store that we can purchase and these become useful.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

700 gems so I can get the use of an 800-gem copper-fed on all my characters? That is cheaper than I expected.

i can already do this (and will continue to do so) by tossing it in the bank with the other ~10 items i share across chars.

can we get a list of what qualifies as a “non-bag item”.
and… one slot is a kick in the face, this would of been amazing for things such as salvage-o-mattic, multiple keys needed for the new HoT map chests, etc. at 700gems for one i probably won’t even get any, but i’m curious to what classifies as a non-bag item

Baldrick.8967:

I loved the bit about drastically improving thief auto attacks..it wasn’t enough that they can root you/stun you and burst you down with a macro combo, but now they will do massive damage auto attacking too? Sounds perfect…

And no mention of the broken CoR either- I guess it doesn’t matter as it only really affects wvw and that area of the game had died due to lack of attention and bad decisions..

What do you mean? things like Air Defense, and Dragon banner have made WvW fantastic /sarcasm

ty for the response

can anyone tell me if this also includes condition damage, or is it just physical.

CruSheR.3297:

On a sidenote…
The argument that you’d have to open your wallet to buy Gem Store items and this being the only way to do it is invalid. One can do custom gold/gem exchanges.

“Custom” yet the rates arent decided by Players.
I cant sell my gems for 50s or put up a buy offer of 5c.
Kinda annoys me.

The day they allow the playerbase to control the price of buying/selling gems is the day i quit.

Season 3 will be timegated/locked behind needing every mastery maxed.

zeldara.4127:

As for people complaining it is a store item and not in festival reward… this is my take on it and why I feel differently.

I played the bell choir and other things at leisure and as long as I found it fun, to get the gifts, the drinks and such in them I sold. I turned that gold into gems, bought the gift mini and unlocked the ugly sweater skin glider.

In my feel it all came from the winter festival and became a wintersday reward.

Ok instead of directly gathering up festival tokens with the games to buy a gift miniature and sweater glider skin quest starter from an wintersday npc, I saved up (gold for) gems doing the same thing and the store was the “NPC”. Ok looks less festive I grand you that. And all over I don’t think this way would have taken longer or needed a different approach then if it was an holiday token gathering for the reward from the same games.

But this is only good if you don’t want the food/alcohol (or other things) from the gifts for the other achievements/collections. It’s getting boring that you only get items via gemstore & not doing actual in-game content to earn said rewards.

for the love of god, please fix it so miniatures stop getting unchecked all the time. so sick of opening hero panel just to re-check it.

why are clients showing this now, not only for me but other people ingame aswell. seems like an odd bug, figured it would be clientsided display

ZAP III
Both of these are still bugged, is there any sort of ETA on fixing these things at all?

Illuminated Overcharged Quartz – Use the Luminates Plant in Metrica Province to add illumination to a piece of charged quartz.

Strangely Overcharged Quartz – Use the Strange Energy Source in Timberline Falls to add some strange energy to a piece of charged quartz.
——————————————————————————————————-

Note: I also have a deep hatred for the shatterer collection / getting hit by branded attack is stupid.

any skin’s i’ve previously unlocked in fractals have not been unlocked in the achievement. will this be fixed, or am i supposed to waste earned transmutations to re-unlock them? i don’t want to waste the transmutation charges if this is something that is being fixed/worked on.

It’s still too early to judge, give it a month.

I know the new locations look hard to navigate and pretty challenging, but when you unlock masteries traveling become really easy.

I predict if it takes them a month to get their stuff figured out, you’ll see a mass exodus of a large portion of their more casual player base. At least enough so that the hardcore grinders who have thus far been unwilling to compromise, will complain about not enough people around..

The one thing GW2 has on every other MMO out there is that’s it’s known as the most casual one around, that it’s not grindy, that your gear will never become obsolete, heck how many MMO can claim you can get to lvl cap without playing? Lvl cap which by the way is never to increase.

But HOT makes it feel like a hardcore Korean grind MMO, at least compared to the core game.

having played korean grind MMO, this is nowhere near it.. a bit grindy yes, but nothing close. a korean grind would be 500x this

50% of a world completion on warrior
ton of random kills
0 BLK, ~20 chests

yes please. would be great to go along with HoT

limiting them is what makes them more desireable, personally i like time-limited things that never re-appear (or only re-appear on random & very-seldom occasions for a brief period).

Snarftastic.6709:

I wish these didn’t exist.

I cannot stand Dry Top.

Might be just me though.

i avoid / don’t even venture into dry top specifically for the same reason. crystals be gone!

could also try to -repair game while afk/sleeping, might be a damaged file if its always teh same place

edit: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments#-repair

you beat me to it, same bug here :P

are you crazy? the airplane/aviator thing is amazing and had me LOL’ing forever, i hope they leave an option to enable it whenever we want, its funnnnnnnnnnnnn.

squad leaders can be bad, kicking people @ end of instances before people can get reward chests & stuff just to be an idiot. keep it as it is now.

omg, i can’t tell when people are downed anymore, the color is almost the same, please change it back to red, being the same color as a normal healthbar is just stupid.

try this, it worked for me after trying to update after a long break. (same prob as you)

in the folder you installed GW2, there is a folder named bin (for me on 64bit windows the default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\bin)
delete the BIN folder and restart the launcher. (the bin folder is recreated automatically)

edit: on 32bit windows it should be: C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\bin

Tried this and the installer went all the way up to 99% but then it crashed again with the same message.

“Disk write failed with error 997 (incomplete): file ‘C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.dat’
Disk write failed (997: ): file ‘C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.dat’”

Edit:
I managed to install the game after changing the installation folder to C:\Guild Wars 2 instead of C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2

Sounds like you needed to run your client as Administrator so you would have the system rights to write to C:\Program Files, for future reference, you can do this by just rightclicking the launcher & choose “Run as Administrator”

such a bad decision, oh well.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

@NB….what they advertised for $3.75 was a Bundle of Boosters. Not sure what false advertising there would be. You can have the boosters, if only you buy the game at full price to use them? Or we will just hold them for you, until you do? Or what?

Let it go…

technically, i bought what was named “Booster Bundle”, which was the option to buy guildwars2 @ the main page of buy.guildwars2.com.

and the email said “Thank you for purchasing Guild Wars 2!”, so no, i didn’t buy a “Bundle of Boosters”, ty for your concern though.

Edit: yes i know it was a blunder.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Update 11 August 2014

The Connection Error 7:11:3:191:101 issue is still under review and will be corrected for everyone as soon as a fix is developed, tested, and implemented into the game. At this time, you should not submit a ticket because the matter will be corrected for all when the game is updated. We will be closing all existing tickets on this matter with a general update.

We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. (Please note our update of 7 August which suggested that for a few players, resetting their modem corrected the matter.)

I still say resetting the modems gave some people the illusion of things being fixed (getting new map address/ip, until they hit a problematic one again). some people jump the gun & say everything is fine just because they can login for an hour+.

somedays i go all evening without a single disconnection, then… BAM!

how can something (that you say) needs/will be patched be fixed by us players resetting our modem? don’t make sense.

and again today, stuck in rata sum, new problem IP for me ((map IP 64.25.33.69)).

guess i’ll keep restarting game/guest til i get a new map IP…. unbelieveable this is going on so long

looks like today i can’t login to rata sum… (map IP 64.25.33.51)
guess its nearing time to uninstall & move on to a new game for me too.
also, as with the few posters above, am getting emails from support for stupid things like “reset your router”. they refuse to admit that its not a problem on OUR end.

I don’t understand why you just think most of us just need to reset our routers? (that’s the first thing i do/try when i get network issues btw). It only appears to work because by the time you do it all, and log back in/load a new map. you are getting pushed to an overflow/new map IP address.
if you do like i & the above poster did and use -maploadinfo , you’ll see that all is fine & dandy until you hit a map/dungeon hosted on a problematic IP address. if it was our stupid modems/isp all maps would be the same issue wouldnt it ? there’s a routing problem somewhere, you just have to find the darned thing. (or maybe the server/client is simply trying to connect us to the wrong ip addresses?)

ISP: Bell Aliant
Region: NL, Canada
Server: Stormbluff Isle

same as everyone else, random maps causing problems.
i edited commandline to load gw2 with -maploadinfo to get the problem IP’s
two i found today before giving up were:

i’m having the same issue that so many others are having, can’t login to certain maps. atm i can’t use my main char etc. etc. because i get disconnected trying to login to it

what i did was edit my GW2 shortcut to add the commandline argument -loadmapinfo
this way i could see which map ip addresses are giving me problems. i’ll edit/update this post for each one i get/run into.

the map server ip’s i can’t use/cause disconnect are below:
64.25.33.82
64.25.33.92

bump i’d like a response to this one aswell, i can’t seem to find an answer.

all i can add to the argument is: LFG link weapon (must be ascended), everyone else gtfo

i’m also stuck at 12/13, done all maps atleast twice (think its bloodtide coast i’ve not gotten credit for). so sick of this. will anything be done about it? probably not, atleast i won’t be holding my breath. 25 achievement points alot of us will miss out on because of something beyond our control.

silvermember.8941:

crafting lvl and mystic forge have no relation. Only the level of the material you put in matters.

sorry, i mean my character level is 62 (my weaponsmith is actually level 400).

My weaponsmith is level 62, but i want to put level 80 items into forge to try for a precursor, i was wondering if i put items into the forge at my level is it still possible to get a precursor or will i have to transfer items to a level 80 character before putting them into the forge.

edit: my character level is 62
