Guild Wars 2

The bubbleheads was way more annoying than this, and nobody circlejerked about it last year. Disable post processing and the biggest part of it is gone. Still can’t play? take the day off and go do something else, we don’t care that your immersion is ruined for 5 more hours

This is still an issue!

If nobody volunteers and you get forced autobalanced, you do NOT get the win you’re supposed to get

Hi
I wont write any fluff, I just wanna say that forced autobalancing in hotjoin (when you don’t volunteer) doesn’t give you a win anymore even though it should!

Anet never teased us about Tengus, WE teased ourselves.

Yep, horrible lag too. it’s unplayable, i keep teleporting everywhere with a constant 1s delay

This so much!!
before the update I could Queue up and do some crafting or exploring while waiting for a match, now I need to wait, sometimes up to 45 minutes, staring at my computer and doing NOTHING for a whole 45 minutes.
If queues are more than 5 minutes now, i don’t even bother queuing.

Standing in HotM is boring

I was looking forward to spend 3-4 hours doing the story on 3 characters like i did 2 weeks ago, but now that I NEED to grind repetitive events to get 2000 crests (which will take me a couple of days of farming non-stop) i’m probably not go for it, if that’s the new norm and i’ll need to farm the same events for weeks and weeks to get one set of armor (and lets be honest, it looks horrible on charr) i’m probably gonna skip this set… grinding for a set is good when you don’t feel like it’s a grind (SHOULDER ARMOR DIDN’T FEEL LIKE A GRIND even if you completed the story 3 times, why did you change that?? now getting this set is the most boring and time gated thing in this game… probably worse than grinding for a legendary)

I got a Anker Gaming mouse too, you got 4 programable buttons (2 on the side, 2 on top, for me it’s more than enough), it’s really not expensive because it’s not a really big company, but everything they make is good quality, so i would recommend it for you

Plus, the mouse is really small compared to some other mouse

buy this then quit for a year to get rich!!

lol nope

Yeah I guess saying it’s a waste of time was too much, because I don’t believe it’s a waste, so I edited OP.

The bug it still worth the dev’s attention tho, so lets hope they see this topic

coglin.1867:

Prove it.

I can tell you that have stated that they will ignore post that insult them. So attacking them right off seems like a brilliant way to get them to assist you. If your going to make an unfounded accusation though, I challenge you to prove it.

I did not insult or attack them… submitting a ticket will make sure that the devs are aware of the bug while on the forum, the team will see it only if it is esqualated if the GM that sees the post think it’s worth it, so i have less chance to get their attention.

and please, if you can’t contribute to the discussion, don’t post.

Sooo i sent them a ticket detailing the bug, but they asked me to make a topic here, i’m not sure why, but here I am.
Sometimes when you run towards or near an obstacle, your camera behave weirdly, it seems that the “obstacle detection” is really too sensitive, because even if there is nothing close to block your view, it will still force zoom you and it makes me sick… This needs to be fixed

oooohhh scarf for wintersday update?? thats awesome!!!
hopefully they wont be a RNG drop from wintersday gifts

i’m well over the 20k mark… at this point I stopped counting lol
I JUST got a cat… but appart from that? nothing… this journey cost me 1000g and the result is more hate against the RNG system.. gg

My favorite updates from last year was Halloween, Wintersday and SAB, so i’m fine with the re-used holidays, plus we get to have more achievements, possibly new skins and more collections to go through >:D

I WANT a reason to farm the Mad King’s clock tower this year. anet pls

From the looks it is supposed to be a faun. Or possibly Pan, either way it is a goat tail, not a devils tail. Char tails then should be hidden in my opinion.

For me, charr’s tails are a part of your personnality, a quick look at them and you can know if they’re male or female. Looking at their face don’t always works as T3 cultural covers their whole head and it’s a pretty popular skin. This is THE reason why i hate CoF armor on charr, it changes your fluffy tail into a fiery lion tail undependent of your gender.

Anyway, about the OP, I totally agree, my fluffy tail is a part of my personnality so i’m not going to buy this outfit if removing our tail was the intended design

2.5 because:
Fun impacts decisions. Every time you finish a dungeon you get tokens you can trade in for reward items that you want, rather than having a small chance of getting it as a drop, because it’s more fun to always get rewarded for finishing with something you want to have!
Colin Johanson

funny how he didn’t mention fractals or precursor in that article ;D

Darmikau.9413:

What is this in reference to? RNG rewards from Dungeons and Fractals? The mystic forge?

I don’t want to get too detailed without knowing the context, but obviously human bias plays heavily into these things. Additionally, RNG is often a very good reward distribution system even if players claim to hate it. It’s variable interval reward scheduling. Even if players say they hate it, their brains love it. That’s why people who claim to hate Fractal skins being RNG keep doing Fractals – when they do get a skin it feels great, even if they say they hate it.

Fractals are not a good example of a good RNG reward system imo, I know a lot of people who just gave up with fractals, my fractal group disbanded too because it was just not worth the daily 2 hours when we only have around 0.0015% chance to end up with the skin you want

I completed Fractal Frequenter a few times, I have several thousands of Fractal Relics and more than a hundred of Pristine Relics in my bank, both currencies are totally useless to me since Rings drops like crazy even in high level fractals.
To my record, I ONLY have 3 skins, you’d guess I would have more, but no, the reason is that I started Fractals AFTER the Fractured! release where the drop rates got severely broken and unrewarding. After such hype from Anet with the leaderboard and the instabilities, I thought they revamped the rewards so they would be more rewarding, but kitten I was wrong… they completely kittened up the rewards of the PVE’s end game and it makes me so sad………… at least I can say that i look fancy with my underwater fractal skins :/

The dolyaks are buggy with projectiles, it does the same thing with Warrior’s GS #4, when you use it on a walking dolyak, the dolyak absorbs the flying GS and is never to be seen again

The amount of particle we get sometimes, even with only 5 people, is a total mess. Ex: when a guardian activates his virtue of justice, THE WHOLE ENEMY (even lupi) is all covered in blueish flames and you can’t see ANYTHING for at least 1 seconds, so imagine with 15-20 person raids. Anet really need to introduce a particle slider before thinking about raids

According to Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 2 Game Director, Super Adventure Box will be back in the future. We don’t have a timeframe for the return of the SAB, but we will be bringing back this popular content.

I know you would like more details, more info, a date, etc., but that’s not available right now. I hope the above comment reassures you, though, because at the core, the important answer is that yes, SAB will be back in the future.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Meh, there’s gotta be one in every bunch, eh?

If you’re serious, and I can’t really tell, I’d just say that every bit of news is viewed subjectively, based on its appeal to the player in question. I like buffs to Rangers — make them almiiiighty! — and you say, “No, leave them alone, handle [this other profession].” That’s ok, it’s the way things are and probably, in time, we’ll both get what we desire.

If you’re not excited about SAB, that’s ok. It’s not required playing and to each his/her own!

I hope it’s not like
precursor crafting will happen soon™

I can’t wait to play more SAB!

FotM is Anet’s PVE endgame, so they want to keep us busy for a long time so they made it impossible to get all the skins after the fractured release. This is just a slap in the face, i’m glad i stopped bothering with fractals a long time ago, the reward system is kittening.
Why can’t it have a dungeon vendor like all the other dungeons???

Been 7 days, still wondering if i got my wrong WvW rewards because i transfered :O

As the title said, my game is running with the .tmp extention and not the usual .exe, I had the same issue 2 days ago and it resolved itself when i created a new folder, but now it seems to be back.

Things i tried:
-Unchecking “read only” for my GW2 folder. It didn’t change anything AND the box rechecks itself when i close the properties.
-Making a brand new GW2 folder on a different HDD (it worked for 1 day, but this morning it decided to run as .tmp again)

If anyone have any idea on how to solve this, i would be eternally grateful to you!! GW2.tmp has like 15-20 fps at lowest settings and moving my camera makes it 1-3 fps

i’m really curious to know what caused this bug

Ticket #895692
hi!!
I got responded with
" The issue you’re reporting will require a bit of additional investigation.

I am escalating your ticket for further assistance. A member of the team will be in contact with you as soon as the issue has been fully reviewed."
it’s been 3 days and no answer. i’d really like to know if my “request” is possible.
No worries if you got some more critical tickets to take care of before, i’d just like an update

try unlocking the greatsword

it would be nice if the guild bank would be fixed too

I created a new folder and redownloaded the game and it looks like it’s working again… idk what happened but the kitten kittened up my kittening folder… silly kittens

My launcher was working perfectly fine until today’s patch (frost spirit patch) but now when I start the launcher and press “play”, GW2’s windows appears with the name “Untitled”, but nothing loads, it stays completely white with no sounds ect.
Task managers shows the program is GW2.tmp ??? I think before it was GW2.exe
And when i try to restart GW2, it redownloads the patch everytime, and does the same thing…
Edit: added screenshot.

It sounds like you are also experiencing the write-restricted issue I just responded about. Please follow the steps I outlined in my previous response to another poster to see if it helps resolve the issue for you.

I did what you said but the game still shows up with the .tmp extension and takes forever to load

Edit 2: I managed to get in after 15 minutes of white screen, but i’m experiencing EXTREME mouse lag, like a 1-2seconds delay, and everything takes a LOT of time to load, + my “autodetect” setting went from
Environment was Medium now it’s Low.
LOD distance was Medium now it’s Low.
Texture, same thing
Shadows, same thing
Shaders, same thing
Post processing from low to none.
On lowest settings I have 25 FPS when i had 60 before the patch.
Something really kittened up my client in this patch

Is it possible to move my post?

Since the feature pack update, I cannot move or drag the camera either by left or right clicking. The cursor dissapear when i drag but the camera doesn’t follow.. it’s kinda awkward and unplayable

I recorded it

hope it can get fixed

We’ll definitely need more information on the dungeon instance changes, right now all we know is that it got worse, the griefers will actually STEAL the instance and get the reward you deserved. Instance owner need some kind of kick immunity, or at least a positive vote of 4, not less.

This really needs to get fixed
do not alter the way WoR works, the right and easy fix would be to make the Lupi wall non targetable (with invisible walls in front of it)
it would take roughly 10-15 mins of dev time, but it’s worth it, this exploit ruins the fun of the whole lupi fight

You really did an awesome job with the video
also, i was there when we lined all the tags.. #occupySAB2014

#OccupySAB2014 Big event happening in NA
Thank you everyone, the last two days have been incredibly awesome even tho we got a somewhat…. horrible.. interview. Show your love to SAB!!

I wanted to take a little screenshot of a nice view i had in rata sum with everyone gathered up around the SAB entrance

wait.. what

Come join us!! if you have a boombox, we NEED you

This has got to be the most depressing news from Anet so far. A 20 minutes long interview to say that all the things we WANT and would LOVE to have will not come anytime soon.

laokoko.7403:

you bought 7 identical unlimited tools yourself. if you really meant to tell me you don’t think people’ll buy more than 1 for the convenience, I have nothing more to say.

Yes, but I’ve done that because these items were soulbound. Never I would have thought that they will pass unlimited tools from soulbound to account bound one day.

Why they have made this items account bound ? I don’t think this is for the business but more for the convenience. They could be leave this items soulbound and the earning were more significant, but they didn’t do that. Why ?

But the real question is : why there isn’t more solidarity between players when a good suggestion is published on forums ? There is nothing negative in what I propose for players. I better understand why the game struggling to advance with the mentality here. No encouragements. Only negative reviews.

You defend your interests or what ? You’ve buy identical items and this suggestion makes you jealous ? Let talk the logic. These suggestions are only positive for our entire characters instead of one of them only.

Part of what makes a good suggestion is the the likelihood of ANet taking it up and adding it to the game. A suggestion that is wonderful for the players but is only negative for the company has low possibility of it being added.

Why should ANet add a feature that hurts their income? Any good suggestion has to consider this and make sure that it’s no worse than income neutral. Since your suggestion will hurt their income, this means it needs to be changed to account for this before it can be considered a good suggestion.

If you just want us to read and approve your suggestion, well it’s great. No drawbacks for the players.
If you want ANet to read and approve your suggestion, read yes, approve and put in, not likely. Too many economic drawbacks.

It would not necessarily hurt Anet’s income. Of course, some people who made multiple purchases for the convenience would want a refund… but think about the people like me, and everyone else who have a lot of alts who did not want to buy the unlimited harvesting tools before(because we have no “main”) would probably want to buy one since it unlocks on all our alts.
I wouldn’t know if it would be profitable for Anet, but it would be a huge boost in convenience

Somehow Anet decided that some kills doesn’t counts as kills, so, like in this instance, when you kill an enemy and you have a bloodlust sigil, or when you are downed, it wont do ANYTHING, I’m not sure if they give experience, but they definitely don’t drop anything. Any reason for this?? nope…

I’m fine with them buffing mai trin’s fight, It will not really change anything except the fact that now you actually need to look at her moves so you have to play smart and counter/evade her attacks…
My advice for PUGs if you think you’re gonna have a hard time with mai is to not go full zerker, anyway the encounter isn’t a DPS test so its better to switch to some survivability. but please don’t go Nomads lol, i’m pretty sure this stat combo is a joke anyway xD

what i’m NOT fine with is that they made fractals harder (and i’m pretty sure they will make the two other 4th fractals harder too, which is probably a good thing, I like MAW at lvl 50 where the trash mobs doesn’t despawn, it makes the fight more interesting) while NOT fixing rewards, facerolling ourself for more than an hour for a ridiculously low chance at RNG is totally not fun, by the time you complete the fractal, you could’ve spend the time running dungeons and earning 5-10x more stuff.
1 hour in fractals = 1g
6-7 mins in AC = 1.5g
you get it?

Nice conclusion
tho, you CAN’T be right
here’s why
there is hundreds of thousands of people playing the game
while
only YOU experiences “server lag”
kinda weird huh?

why did you not call your isp? get your connection checked, they’re the only one who can help you, Anet aren’t your technical slave, so stop crying at them for something they obviously CANNOT fix

exactly, i’m lost somewhere in the middle of QC, and here, a decent internet (well here “decent” means it doesn’t crash often) costs so much, and it’s still not really good, because there’s just not the infrastructure needed to be “good”

sooo I guess
new map(s) : 5-10GB
no new map : the usual 250-500mb ??

New map won’t get close to 5-10 gb.

The whole client is about 18gb I believe, and that includes more than 25 maps.

I would say 1 gb at most for the update, most updates are at around few hundred mbs.

it’s arround 22gb :P
but i get what you’re saying
hopefully it will be close to 1gb, thanks a lot :p

Dawdler.8521:

Past a… few… gigabytes?! FEW?!

That’s what I consume in like 2 hours of just browsing. What sort of backwards place do you live in, lol?

Worst case scenario, I’ve seen those that pull down speed when exceeding the gb limit (still unlimited, it wouldnt shut down) but its been many, many years since that was the case for regular internet, mostly just for 3G/4G nowadays.

i’d like to know how big the patch is gonna be, just to anticipate, you know, because not everyone have unlimited downloads, and if I go past a few gigabites, my internet is gonna shut down for the rest of the month.. so yeah, even if it’s just speculation, it would be greatly apreciated
