I’m agreeing with this also. I just think it’s about time for Scarlet to end

So we know where those goggles are but the new question is…. Where are the second pair of goggles to jump off the exterior?

I kind of the same way. I played WoW for a little over 5 years (quit a bit after Cataclysm) and I loved that you could go to every inch of the world almost and the new zones they made were level scaled. Not comparing WoW to GW though but GW2 needs new zones that are level scaled for more variety while leveling and such other than just an 80 zone.

The map

This has probably appeared on the forum many of times but I’m just giving my own two cents.

So the map.. It’s been a little over a year since GW2 was released and so far (minus the living story zones) we’ve only seen Southsun and a permanent “new” zone and yes, obviously it’s dead. What about the rest of the map though? The rest of Magumma, Woodland Cascades, far northern parts of the Shiverpeaks, Ring of Fire, Crystal Destert, Elon River/Scavengers Causeway, Blood Legion Homelands, etc. The parts that you can’t get to but yet they are there. Where are they? They must be currently working on/worked on them but after a year only the Sea of Sorrows has opened and then died shortly after.

Don’t get me wrong. I still love this game, I still play it almost every day ever since release. I love all the zones but I think it’s just about that time to start with the rest of the map (aside from the other requests from the community for other aspects of the game). The world of GW2 is huge, it’s a huge map and there is a lot to see yet we can’t yet, haha.

As it is there are lots of people that enjoy the Living Story, me being one of them and there are lots of people that do not enjoy it. Seeing as it’s looking like the Living Story is here to stay with more perfecting of course. I hope down the line (very near future please) we start seeing new arcs of the story to open the gates to new zones. My personal favorite, Crystal Desert. But not just for the Living Story then just have the zone die. Don’t make the zone a LEVEL 80 ZONE! Level scale new zones, for example, Levels 65-70. Therefore making a bigger variety of zones for leveling players to enter and level there, whether it be a brand new player or a veteran making a new character. Making them just simply a level 80 zone assists in the death of the zone after opened up.

Not just level scaling either. More in depth dynamic events with rewards that make players come back time after time to do for gear, achievements, whatever their heart desires. Bosses, definitely bosses too. And of course, dungeons. We can’t forget those can we?

Dungeons are another thing. We’ve seen a few new dungeons pop up and the anticipation for the Tower in next weeks patch but they are still just Living Story dungeons and they disappear after the two weeks. My favorite of the LS was the Molten Facility, that would have been great if it stayed and with paths! With the zones, add new dungeons. You know we have those dungeon token vendors in LA and I think the vendors are getting tired of seeing the same vendors that were there a year ago. Time to bring in some fresh blood, new gear sets, and weapons.

With those new zones come mob recycles of course. Don’t do that. We all know you have designs for mobs that we haven’t seen yet. Do something with them!

I know back in GW1 new zones of the map opened with expansions. Seeing as there has been no talk for expansions I will rule it out of GW2 for now. We need some Living Story arcs that venture into the new zones and have people exploring and experiencing the whole zone, corner to corner. But not just Living Story, maybe new character stories…side stories, with the main one for characters. I say side stories because it will not tie into the main one. Basically we will have that two week living story or however long the arc lasts and then we will have a side story that is permanent for us to experience, get rewards from, named gear that pertains to those stories so people will question where you got this and that, and just have people GOING to these new zones instead of having them die in two weeks.

Maybe as a side story, side quest, whatever you would like to call it. Have an item that opens up a side quest for a player. Have that player go around the entire map doing certain things WITH help from others. Saying with help from others meaning you need to have a few other players to defeat a certain task, or path of a dungeon for the quest. As you complete that quest you got from the item, it will eventually lead up to the accusation of say Ascended gear, weapons, or something just as rewarding as that instead of simply just crafting them. Adds more variety on how to get certain things.

This is long and I could probably add more to it but I won’t. It’s all just personal thought from me. I just think it’s time for the map to start opening more up and there could be a lot more done with those zones to make them zones people can come back to and get things from. More places to go while leveling also. This is a long post that most will skip over but here it is still. Add what you want, comment what you want, etc. Just my personal opinion

Occasionally (more than) my client will freeze, black screen, go to desktop, then back to game and read my display driver stopped working on my desktop. Now I ran Memtest, everything came back fine. Updated drivers. Tried playing even in low settings (when I almost max or do max FarCry 3, ARMA3, Skyrim, BF3, and ARMA2). Every game is fine but GW2. I run in windowed fullscreen also. Also tried Anet solution that is stickied.

My specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Edition x64
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD7850
RAM: 8GB
CPU: Intel i5-2500k running at 3.3GHz
PSU: Corsair TX650

Any help would be appreciated. I’ve had this ever since launch of GW2. Literally cannot find a solution

Black screen crashing to desktop [AMD]

Have you tried playing across the three different window options – specifically, fullscreen, windowed fullscreen, and windowed?

Yep, same thing.

What options do you have enabled? Is your game’s refresh rate matching that of your monitor’s?

Yes, refresh rate is matching my monitor (75Hz). I don’t have the game maxed perhaps but most things are at high and AA is off completely, same with post processing.

Try right clicking the luncher and run it as admin. It worked for a guildie of mine

I will try that tonight after work when I start my hours of playing for the day.

I’ve been crashing to my desktop with a black screen and then having to CTRL+ALT+DEL to task manager and end GW2 (says it’s not responding) and then reboot the game.

My drivers are up-to-date, application settings, deleted my .dat file and then downloaded the recent patch, tried what ANET considered up top in the sticky, AVG is fine, tried multiple and multiple of solutions and nothing. My PC can run BF3, ARMA2, and FarCry3 (second most played games) on full settings with no problem for hours. GW2 is the only game I run into this issue with. Gets annoying when I’m playing tPvP with a team.

I crash anywhere from 20 minutes in to 3 hours in. Random crash.

[CYN] is a VERY active, mature, helpful, and all around fun guild that I love being apart of. Great and helpful people, great atmosphere. One of, if not the best guild I’ve been apart of in a long long time of MMO gaming. [CYN] has it all; PvE, PvP (sPvP/Wv3), events, always having guild buffs up, guild missions to start very soon, and the list literally goes on. Before this the game got boring for me but after joining Cynical, you will always find something to do or others doing something and always chatting in guild chat pretty much ANY time of the day. With all this Cynical still keeps to a semi-casual atmosphere. Our leaders are some of the best I personally have ever come in contact with. Most helpful and knowledgeable. Come by and check us out. You’ll always find an officer online to answer any questions you may have.

Looking for a casual/semi hardcore PvX guild

in Guilds

Posted by: Desolate.8492

Desolate.8492

Greetings, GW2 forums, I’m currently looking for a PvX guild. Now I use “guild” lightly because I’m looking for more of a family/community. A MATURE one that is, and ACTIVE. I’m looking for a guild that likes to progress and have fun. I took a break from GW2 for personal reasons back in December and came back to having my account hacked. With the help of support recently I was able to get my account/character back to where I was in December. I’m currently a level 43 Ranger on the Kaineng server (wasn’t my home server before being hacked. I WAS on Crystal Desert) but I am willing to use my transfer before free transfers are gone to any server.

I’ve played Guild Wars since GW1 launch. Seasoned MMO player in general (WoW, GW, and SWTOR being my most played). I’m looking for a 18 years or older guild (I’m 19, but turning 20 in next month). I, myself am casual/semi hardcore, meaning I’m on usually at night/late night/early early morning during weekdays and on weekends during the day or night again because of the shift of my job.

Looking to jump back into GW2 and have some fun and progress basically. Looking for the guild to have some sort of voice chat also (Mumble, TS3, Ventrilo, etc.). I’m pretty fun to talk to, talkative, etc. the community part of this post falls in me also playing DayZ/Wasteland a lot along with GW2. Currently those being my most played so if anyone plays those also that would be a plus but of course GW2 being the focused.

PM me or respond to this post if you think I would be a nice addition to your guild. Thank you

EDIT: Forgot to add, I’m looking for an EST timezone guild, as I’m in Massachusetts, US.

Recently, my game has been freezing and then crashing to desktop (not A TON but it’s annoying when it happens). I play BF3, DayZ (Arma 2), Planetside 2, and Skyrim all maxed with reasonable temperatures but when I play GW2 this sometimes happens. It’s not overheating, my card doesn’t give a warning that it crashed or anything. All drivers are up to date, this has honestly started happening since the Halloween update. Not really sure why. Anyone else freezing and crashing? I have the EDID in my CCC off so that I can set it to 1440×900 (my monitor size) and a refresh rate of 75hz. No overclocking of anything either.

Looking for an active, MATURE, casual/semi-hardcore PvX guild.

Hello GW. I’m looking for a casual and/or semi-hardcore guild that is interested in PvE, Achievements, sPvP, and WvW; basically everything. I’m looking for a nice guild (family) that is active and mature but still sees that real life comes first. Just looking for a guild that I can joke around with, have fun, and just enjoy playing GW2! Also looking for it to be mature; I, myself am 19 years old (soon) 20 so I’m more interested in 18+ guilds. I live on the East Coast (Massachusetts) but timezone isn’t a big factor because I work till 930pm Monday – Friday and I’m usually on until very very late night/early morning and during the day before I have work.

Right now I am located on Crystal Desert and play a level 23 Human Ranger under the name Sylvain (pronounced sil-vin, or sil-vain. Whatever you so choose) Ashar. I don’t care what server because I can transfer. Seeing that I am only level 23 at the moment, I’m looking for a guild I can level with and in up to 80 and progress. Again, just have fun.

I’m an MMO Vet, played WoW for 5 years (strict hardcore raiding/PvE) and then retired and played GW1 since launch (casual/semi-hardcore PvE/PvP). I’m a nice person that doesn’t like drama at all so I stay away from it. Just on to have a good time and experience everything the game has to offer, hardcore or casual. I do own a headset with a mic so Mumble/Ventrilo/Teamspeak can be used by me.

Respond here to send me a message ingame! Thank you!
