Game Crashes Computer

Dikeido.8436

I tried getting on Guild Wars today and after about 10 minutes my computer shut off. I didn’t really think anything off it at the time, thought maybe it had just overheated so I gave it some time to cool off and rebooted it. Launched Guild Wars and again after about 10 minutes my computer died.

I then checked/downloaded any updates, ran my virus protection and tried yet again. Needless to say it still wont work and I’m not sure what’s causing it. It was working Sunday when I was playing with a friend so I’m not sure what’s causing this all of a sudden.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You’re not the only. I too was plague with that for a very long time. Turn out I just have to lower some of my GW2 graphic settings.

Is the Quality of GW2 Community an Accident?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

I think Guild Wars 2 has one of the best player communities of all time, at least in terms of being the least toxic, most helpful, and most welcoming. Sure, there are bad apples in every bushel; but it is a great community overall.

Are there reasons for that?

I know ArenaNet cracks down on gold spammers, but have they ever cracked down on toxic chat or other anti-social in-game behavior? It’d be interested to hear from folks who have been around from the beginning.

I’ve been here since beta so I’ve seen a lot happen and YES Anet do cracked down on toxic chat or other anti-social in-game behavior. Anet rule with an iron fist when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Third Female Human Body Type Option

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

Just wondering if it would be possible to add another body type option (or two, depending on how you look at it), for female humans?

Going to call it/them “hourglass” and “athletic” for want of better names.

ATM, we basically have two variations on pear-shaped (at various weight options).

One variation has a small waist and the other has a larger waist.

I’m suggesting a third option, which would (or could) use the existing top halves, waists and upper hips of both of the existing options, but would then have straighter, less rounded, lower hips and slimmer outer thighs.

So, in the case of the existing smaller-waisted options, this would result in an hourglass type figure and in the case of the larger waisted options, it would result in an athletic type figure.

Thanks for your time.

How about Anet just give us the ability to custom our character like how its done in the mmo call black desert. I’m sure most people will jumping for joy if it were to ever happen.

[Suggestions] Gemstore Items

Not sure if I’m the only one but I’m always looking for new skins for various characters. One skin in particular that I would love to see in the game is the wizard hat. It looks super adorable on asurans! Anyone know if we will see it return to the game?

the wizard hat was for buying the deluxe edition during first yr of the game… I don’t see it returning, I haven’t used it on any of my chars for a long time, might have to see what it looks like on asura, lol.

Actually the Wizard Hat was a gift to new players buying the new Heroes Edition of GW2. But players complained that they got an exclusive hat and wanted it as well, so Anet caved and gave it to everyone for a limited time in the Gem Store for free.

You’re both wrong, but not far off. A bit of googling turned up this:

The original plan was to make the Wizard Hat an exclusive bonus for people who bought GW2 during December 2012 only, along with a free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition. (This was about 3 months after release and about 7 months before the Heroic Edition was released.)

Source: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/77098-free-upgrade-to-the-digital-deluxe-version-with-purchase-of-guild-wars-2/

However so many existing players complained that they were going to miss out on a free hat and were being ‘punished’ for purchasing at/before release that they added it to the gem store for free, for everyone, during December 2012:

Source: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Wizard-Hat-not-Exclusive-anymore

However it has not been available since and I completely agree it should be. IMO they should do the same thing again – put it up on the gem store for 0 gems for the duration of Wintersday.

I vaguely remember having it but after many update its gone from my inventory and no its not in my wardrobe either. Is it just me or have this happen to anyone else ?

Moving to remove dungeons?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

I was honestly expecting some XP nerf to prevent dungeons from being the obvious way to train tyrian masteries, probably resulting on a huge increase on path selling (which I’m not against btw in the current state of the game).
This reward nerf, however … While I can imagine a cut on spontaneous gold generation as something positive for the economy, I can hardly see how making some content next to useless reward wise can be an overall good move.

I think they’re trying to move in the “unique rewards for unique content” direction, with the fractal level system as the outliar “cash money dungeon” since when they update with a fractal, they update the whole system from 1-100

Of course, it remains to be seen if those next 50 fractal levels are a meaningful increase in difficulty or payout.

Dungeons are now about the stuff from the token vendors, so skins and legendary components, just like raids going forward are about their own set of unique rewards, skins and legendary precursors. Fractals are the “filler content” you can use to make money, as they’re a system designed to be infinitely expandable/scalable in a way the more static dungeons and raid aren’t. For that to work, though, fractals need to appropriately scale up the loot with the challenge level so getting good, spending the effort to get all that AR feels worth the time.

And of course the open world is still the go-to for solo farming, only they’re making it less about volume and more about targeted results, so more about farming for the thing you want and less about farming for gold to buy the thing you want, which should spread the player base out more and generally move people around maps so they aren’t all running the same map for months getting bored.

Now to see if they can actually pull this off.

Hmm I didn’t think of it that way before but now I have seen the light.

Why 8 characters slots? You get 5 from the game and if you pre-order HoT you get 2 additional.

I did preorder and get the two, currently have 12 lol but will have 20 by the time I’m done. The above poster is partially correct, I do want one for much of the specializations, but I’m also a big fan of Fashion Wars 2 and had a few more looks I wanted to create, so I needed some more people to deck out lol. ^^"

An oh well, may as well just suck it up lol. Least if I get em now I should have some of em ready by HOT release.

Wait what ? How did you get 2 free slot? I prepurchase HOT but only got 1 free slot.

Solution: Keys for completing raids, create spvp reward where you grind for a key would operate just the same as normal gear boxes and progress bars only the last reward is a key. Do the same as in spvp only have it in wvw (hell add in all the gear/crafing boxes with the same progress mechanic as spvp)

Keys that you would be able to get per week: 3 (if you grind spvp,wvw, and do a raid which imo is a good way to keep all aspects of the game very active even if your not a huge pvper/pve’er)

more keys you can actually farm, more boxes you open, the more BLT’s and fragments you get. no need to adjust drop rates.

And no please don’t remove tomb of knowledge. those things are probably the most valuable thing I get in game right now given I’m new and saving them for a quick revenant progression.

NO I disagree with this idea over 9000×. Why should key be limited to only those that can RAID/PVP. What about the young, the elderly or the handicap and others who either can’t or choose not to PVP/Raid. Why can’t we have both the key farming be revert back plus the world drop increase.

Because that’s too much and Anet would feel like they are bleeding keys.

How so, do you know something that the rest of us don’t know ?
1. No one except Anet know the percentage of people who actually farm keys.
2. No one except Anet know the increase percentage of the new drop rate.
For 3 years going 4 Anet has turn a blind eye to key farming but now they nerf it to the ground and their justification is OH we increase the drop rate.

One per day would be fine, one per week is silly. Looks like I won’t be getting that extra character slot, and after other recent actions, debating if spending any money or upgrading is worth it. Anet just doesn’t seem to care anymore.

Yeah, this is just another mark on the “reasons to not buy HoT” list. Anet’s decision-making has been really bad lately, ranging from just plain stupid to blatantly anti-consumer. This one manages to get high up in both of those categories.

I’m having a severe case of buyer’s remorse about pre-purchasing HOT. According to these little bits in the HOT faq it looks like I’m screwed.

Between this:

“Is a pre-purchase the same as a pre-order?
No. The term “pre-order” can vary from seller to seller, but usually means that you’re just reserving an opportunity to purchase at a later date. In the case of the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns pre-purchase, you’re paying for the game in advance of its release and receiving all of the other benefits of your purchase right away. For instance, if you pre-purchase the deluxe edition, you will pay the full purchase price and receive all of the pre-purchase and deluxe bonuses/items within 3-4 hours of redeeming the serial code. Then, when the expansion is released, you’ll get access to the new content.”

And this:

“…Standard 30 day refund policy on game purchases…”

I’m doomed.

They can keep the free character slot, the beta weekends, and the “exclusive title” if I could get my money back.

I think I’m in the same boat as your are

What happened to the 'no grind' philosophy?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

It all boils down to difference of personal definition.

For me “grind” is doing something I don’t want to do in order to stay relevant and on an equal power tier to the majority or say a player who has been playing this game every day since release and has 20 lvl 80’s and 12 legendaries.

In this regard GW2 has very little “grind” as it’s easy to level and get gear that will get you through 99% of the content. I can take 4 months off when I get bored and play other games to come back and still be relevant and have import. In most MMO’s if you do that you might as well /uninstall as it will take as long to “grind” your way back to being relevant in-game.

I think where people get confused is when they burn through the games main content, have nothing left to do or see that is new and then QQ every time new content comes out as it usually represents a small amount of content that can be repeated if one chooses.

Like a small fat kid who has been denied a Big Mac for a month many players glutton themselves on it then complain about the belly ache.

Repetition of content should not be confused with what I personally would call actual “grind”, which again I see as being forced by the games mechanics to repeat content in order to attain relevance in-game.

This is grinding for me

Mesmers trolling with their portal

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

As has already been stated, there’s ways to circumvent troll portals. Stop being a kittening zombie mindlessly spamming f everywhere to get your phr33 p1xel5, have some self awareness and wait for a portal to disappear or move to a different spot where you’re not underneath the portal and then press f, or use your mouse instead.

I think portal jokes are hilarious, and I’ve fallen prey of many of them, as well as being the predator. For the Megadestroyer, if you die in the lava then just WP back to the volcano, the WP is uncontested after you kill the world boss and it’s really not a big deal. Lighten up, learn to take a joke.

Are you new to GW2 ? If you are new or have just been hibernating for the last 3 years then listen up. People who defend this kind of trolling are in the same boat as those you use to defend the idea that if people don’t want to see profanity in the chat then they can just turn it off or grow a thicker skin. Well how that that story end huh ?
I’ll tell you how it end, it ended with the suspended/banned hammer falling down on people.

Dueling?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

As duelling is the little sister of open world PvP and open world PvP is the little brother of forced PvP everywhere I would rather not have Anet open that box.

Btw, why not use a PvP server for duells, or WvW? Just don´t duell where zergs run, so you already can duell.

One of the few things that would really drive me away from GW2 would be a:
XX Roxxxor XX challenges you to a duel Accept/Decline
window.
Rinse, repeat, rinse repeat. Please no.

Would you be driven away when XX Roxxxor XX ask you to give him gold? Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat.

nope just one time block—> cant whisper anymore/dont see his text in map/say chat any longer

no Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat

sorry you fail

and 90% that people who wants dueling in open world is only to farm noooooooooooooobz. take this i owned you i am roxxxxxxor lel . l2p f…noob

others that love dueling cause of duel will go to guild arena in guild halls and dont cry for open world dueling

i still wait of a thread:

pls anet introduce a funtion to steel raw material collection so others cant lumber the same tree. and pls introduce loot traps to get other players stuff

would be so fun and other mmos also have this things!!!! i want it soooo hard!!

NO just NO

Agreed 100% with you on this issue. I’ll add to your list. It goes like this:
I win the duel = You only win because you’re a noob who use noob abilities. Run off to pick on weaker player. [Don’t ask I have no idea what a noob abilities is either]

I lose the duel = [Emote/spit] you cheat and I still kick your @ss you loser.
Taunt me tells how much of a loser I am if I don’t continue to duel him/her.
I refuse to duel he/she follow me around trying to grief me. Sad day for me.

The Anet business model

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

One of the biggest problems imho with PvE is the reward system. Everything is currency-based and ‘best’ cosmetic items are not locked behind the hardest content but are being sold.

What do you think would happen if all the ‘best’ cosmetic items are were locked behind the hardest content instead ? First the casual would complain then they quit, Good job you just kill a game that was made for casual player. I don’t agreed with many of Anet decision but I also understand that they are a business. Do I want more and better BLINGs to be world drop hell yeah I do but not at the cost of the game get shutdown do to lack of income.

Galactic shout-out for Anet, especially the ones that are working/will work on the new Raids. It is such an exciting feel to know that all player base, no matter the content type they prefer, is on the table when discussion occur. Extraordinary news, there haven’t been words invented that I can express my gratitude with. Everything asked will be delivered. I will now surely buy the expansion pack as I have again seen the Anet that made me fell in love with the Guild Wars franchise.

Raids – check
Exclusive rewards that MUST stay exclusive – check
A hardcore challenge (not proved until gameplay time but at this point I am willing to believe) – check
Dedicated team for periodic raid content (see “Raids will be delivered with Living Story releases” – check
10 man – check
Instanced – check

Was a little bit worried with F2P but after reviewing the restrictions I am at ease.

A glorious day for the game, a glorious day for challenge.

I will, as often as possible, be one of the (at least try) main Fractal/Raid/Dungeon discussion/tips & tricks/MLG Dank person out there, so if you need some opinions I’m available in game, on the YouTube channel and of course here, on the forums.

Today’s excitement video discussion about Raids!

PS: Some info was not available to be at the time of the recording, but most of my rant fears have been laid to rest. Also still processing. Also beware my oblivion born accent.

Good job, Anet and hope to see each and everyone of you guys in game!

Should be very careful what you ask for. Beside raid is nothing new we already have raid, remember ORR yeah that was END game content RAID content. How many people still raiding there now ? Lets not forget our favorite world boss Triple trouble. Whats that you say people can’t pug TT because you need a well organize and very large group at the same time very easy to troll and screw up the fight ending it in failure so Anet just kind of wasted time and resource making so call raid/hard content which only very few can actually complete. Form where I stand I see that you and many like you want Raid to be like in wow but what Anet have shown so far are Raid that every and anyone can join. I have nothing against raid and I preferred Anet raid style over wow raid any day. I’m just saying don’t over hype yourself cause in the end you might end up super disappointing.

If Blizzard, and many other companies, can upgrade their game engines to use DX11 then there’s no reason why ANet can’t either. I’d also like them to fix it so the game isn’t so CPU dependent too and to take advantage of the power of our GPUs.

Of cores Anet can do it as long as everyone give them 15$ a month whether they are still playing or not.

The "Trinity" and Viable Builds

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

I stopped reading fairly quickly when you assume other stats are irrelevant. GW2 is a game that does not have the “holy” trinity. It never will, the vast majority of players dont want it.

Gear stats other than Berserker and Assassin are indeed irrelevant in GW2’s PvE whether you like it or not.

GW2 most certainly does have a trinity, it’s just not the same as other MMOs have. GW2’s trinity is: damage, control, support. The problem is though that with the right traits and the right skills selected we already have all the control and support we need, we don’t need gear for that, our capability to do support and control doesn’t rely on gear stats.
Aegis will always block an enemy’s attack regardless of your gear.
Blindness will always make the enemy miss his attack regardless of your gear.
Protection will always lower your damage income with 33% regardless of your gear.
Etc. etc. etc. you get the gist.
Meaning we are expected to focus our gear on DPS to maximize your potential and efficiency. Getting gear with any other stats than power, precision and ferocity is a waste of time (in PvE that is, obviously for WvW and PvP it’s a different story).

And please speak for yourself. You don’t speak for “the vast majority of players”. I think just as many players are unhappy with the zerker meta and would like to see a change or a return to a more traditional trinity. Personally I’m on the fence about it. I don’t mind the zerker meta but sometimes I would like to change it up and play a tank or healer for a change, but this game doesn’t allow me to do that sadly enough.

Well then I’ll help you get off the fence.
1. Do you enjoy spamming LF Tank/Heal for 10/20/30 min sometime even hour?
2. Do you enjoy forcing yourself to roll a Tank/Heal just so you can get in to group?
3. Do you enjoy fighting in your own guild for a place, be it a 5 man or raid. Because there is already to many DPS and not enough Tank/Heal?

Game Dev abusing power? Any way to report it?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

So I was in Div Reach and there were a group of people who were dancing as Ursans with ursan Tonics. And I got in the middle and started playing an instrument and they liked having me there. A Game Dev came and Asked me to move from the middle of their group and I didn’t really feel like it, and kept playing…He wanted a picture I guess, And out of nowhere I got DCed and I logged right back in in the middle of them all again, and got instantly DCed again. The next time I logged back in I didn’t get DCed again, I assumed he got his picture. I felt like the DCing was probably against a rule or something, and I confronted him about it asking if it was against a rule to DC me like that and he just ignored me. The Dev’s name was kitten y.

So even after you were told to move because you was blocking his kodak moment you refuse to move. That sounds like Griefing to me. Also like others have already mention so far we’ve only heard your side of the story. I hope this does not turn out to be like one of those " I just got Banned for no reason, Honest to god I didn’t do anything wrong" and then Anent paste the log of what actually happen and suddenly we never hear from OP ever again….? I must admit all these years of playing mmo I have never heard of a case where GM have this uncanny ability to continuously disconnect you from the game.

I’ve also noticed that there is no difference in what my camera does with either left or right mouse click. They both turn the same way. The camera circles the character. Am I missing something?

Commander tags and the blight

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dikeido.8436

Dikeido.8436

With the recent announcements on changes to costs for the commander tags, everyone and their siblings now seem to have them, and they are all enabled.

This has created the worst UI blight of any MMO I have seen. It’s on my minimap, it’s on my map and it’s on my screen. 20-30 Commander Tags at a low level PvE event is just ridiculous. These vanity plates need to be removed, at least from my view and the views of others who find the clutter ridiculous.

1. Graphics Option to only display Commander Tags from my server.
2. Graphics Option to only display Commander Tags from my guild.
3. Graphics Option to display NO Commander tags.

This is about a year and a half overdue, and now it’s necessity is rather obvious.

I don’t have one.

Actually, some MMOs and games DO have smarter, more player-friendly RNG. I write RNGs for a living sometimes. Wrote a high-speed one with weighted probabilities for a well-known game. As a professional, I am unimpressed with the Guild Wars RNG. They can do better.

And no, I’m not shilling for a job. I’m outa the game biz.

I’m having a really hard time believing that you were ever a professional. A professional would know that its not up to him/her but up to the person who is paying you. That person get to decide what you the programmer/s can or cannot code into the game. What I do see here is more like My grass is greener then yours.

1)GW2 you were forced to log in during a 2 week period or miss the content forever. That seems a lot more strict in terms of whats “required” for content

2)Your mount sentence was quoted exactly as you implied it. Do not use statements if you don’t want them quoted back in exactly the context you posted them in.

3)Wow has just as much exploration as GW2. If standing on top of and clicking F is your definition of exploration Webster’s would like a word with you.

4)You continually bash Wow and try to use it to enforce a positive light on GW2. Both games have merits and both games are flawed. But, as it stands right now Wow offers for more to both casuals and hard core players then GW2.

You obviously have a misconception about my remarks on these forums. I simply tell it like it is in hopes then Anet get’s it’s head out of its you know what and does something with this game.

The game is loosing players whether you like to admit it or not. I myself enjoy the game but am also realistic about what it offers and what it doesn’t.

People have to be honest and realize that Anet has to do something and do it soon to keep people interested because when I logged on today the game was almost identical to when I log on the game a year ago.

That is a VERY large problem.

1) How did GW2 force you to log in every 2 week? Did they put a gun to your head, they threaten to harm you pet hamster etc….?
1b) Did you do any research at all before buying GW2 or did you like many others simply bought GW2 because of the hype? I ask this because you seem to not know that LS is new content every 2 week and is now hating on it.

2) Having to pay full price+expansion and a monthly sub and still I have to fork out more $$$ for CASH-SHOP item, be it mount or toilet paper that’s just GREEDY.

3) I’m not even going to bother with this one.

4) Go and buy a brand new WOW account then get to max level+RAID gear while playing as a DPS. Oh no you don’t get the luxury of play as a Tank/Heal, you get the luxury of spamming LF tank/heal. Do this without any friend or guild help. Also you must play it without any ADDON. Get back to me when you are done. Most of the time when people claim its so easy or its not a grind, that’s because they are getting carry.

I’m not hating on any game I just play the one that is most enjoyable to me.

I’m missing a “time sink” in my life. Game worth coming back to yet?

If you want a time sink you could farm your life away to get me legendary for all my characters.

Grind, and more grind.

At least other MMOs add new content when they add new gear-grinds.

For every set of gear in WoW, there was a new raid-instance. Same applied to SWTOR and most other classic MMOs.

But now GW2 adds Ascended Armor….just because?

It’s not tied to content progression (unless you count endless fractals) and it doesn’t enhance the game in any way. It’s just there….another grind on top of countless other grinds before it.

It’s totally pointless.

Nothing new, nothing exciting, no context whatsoever.

Just “here’s another 5% stat-increase you can dump your gold into”.

It’s just dumb, so incredibly dumb.

You really want to know what is totally pointless. Paying full price for WOW but only getting pits and pieces of the actual game. Then you wait month even years for bread chrome patch while you GRIND your life away for gear that is use to gear to grind for more gear.

They can feel free to secure my loyalty anytime now byy introducing the housing features that they said would be in game a year ago… if not, that would be quite literally the last straw for me if that’s not out well before the new games are, I been patient enough about it.

I’ve played several MMOs that had housing, it’s pointless and massively overrated. You decorate it once as a massive currency sink, show it to your friends, get bored in 2 seconds and never go back again.

Yep , I also been there done that and yes it is boring fast.

Hello,

I never killed Tequatl and I would really like to do so.
If any guild regularly kills it, please send me an invite, I’ll represent while in the fight.
I know the strat, just didn’t have the chance to have an organized group.

Thanks

If you want to kill to Tequatl for the achievement or just for the loot. You could try http://www.ttsgamers.com/home
Although they have temporarily closed recruitment, you should keep an eye on it.

My point was that they would make more money off me if they were re-usable. I’m trying to help them make more money!

And if it’s true for me, I wonder how many others this would be true for?

Are you people insane? That’s like saying I would buy food/gas/electric/toilet paper if they were re-usable.

GW2 Becoming P2W

I was roaming in WvW when I stumbled across an enemy Guardian that was decked out in fresh Gem store gear. It was at that point that I laid down my weapons and surrendered—there was no way i could compete with his beauty.

P2W i agree with OP.

Oh crap that happen to me too. Looks like you and me need to hit the GEM store and get us some P2W gear.

Lets be honest here, I’ve played GW 1 for 5 years, I remember when factions came people were infatuated with Assassin new class mechanics techniques new builds. So why 1 year plus nothing new yet? A solid look as implementing a healer type class to the game will counter condi builds and necro spammer condis clueless. I remember Gw 1 took 2 solid healers to keep the team alive rotating to diff positions why not implement that now?

Did you purchase this game with doing any kind of research on it? If you did then you got no one else to blame but yourself.

Looking for 1 or 2 new people to play with.

I have been waiting for a good guild to come along…some have but..I have a hard time with clicks I guess. Anywho , Im just looking for a couple of low level people to have an epic journey through the game with. I am newish to mmos and have barely scratched the surface of gw2. I want to just find some cool laid back interesting humorous people to run around with …not an army of people I barely know. No need to leave your server-ill come to you if need be. No obligations-just casual. preferable if your over 21 thats all I ask. Let me know!

What server are you on and what time of day do you play at?

I'm sick of stealth.

So I love to run dungeons and right now I feel like it is the fastest way to make gold in gw2. (if there is a faster way feel free to let me know)

this was a long weekend so I felt like I should be able to make quite a large amount of gold running as many dungeons as possible. unfortunately almost every time I join a group on the lfg it ended up disbanding before we got to the end for one reason or another.

Im looking for 4 other people who are on fairly regularly and would be willing to run a large amount of dungeons with me to make some gold.

Thanks!

Isn’t it better to just join the champion zerg train ?

With all those systems and tools, how come you cant come up with an actual decent “Balance” Patch!? o.O’

Ok for you and anyone else that think like this [Or that Anet have Magic button that fix everything but they just don’t want to push it], WOW its been around for 7+ years . Do you see WOW able to “Balance” that game out?
