Is zerging dungeon bosses really a thing?

Chaos is always a thing in a game

RSLongK.8961:

Sorry could you give an example of a situation of what are you trying to fix?
A boss encounter per example, how would it behave in this situation your are promoting and how much better it is on the current context? Thanks in advance.

Lets say its dungeon boss. So at first aggro does make boss attack only person with highest value gain. Its recived from first attack and person who will switch. It would look like this at first you go for first attack so you will tank . At 100% aggro your character will deal less damage to boss and also it will recive more damage from.attacks. To change that and heal dmg recived meanwhile you will call for switch .
Im a guy who is switching mine character would jump ahead of urs then your character will lose aggro to 0% because of that boss wont attack you but instead will attack me. This allows people to control bosses and probably it would allow to make something new in game like raids. Also idea of this doesnt slow current speed of battle but increases it

Switch how does it work?
Let me explain what aggro is .. So basicly its a stat what pushes boss or mob to attack specyfic person in grup.

First attack will let a player to recive aggro points. If points will reach 100% player will deal less damage and it will recive more damage from boss attacks. This can be made in 5 steps every step 20%

Because of debuff player wont be able to block boss attacks for infinity thats why he have to switch with someone. Player what switched at first hes hero is jumping ahead of person who he switched. Then hes allowed to recive aggro points. Guy who called for swith is now losing whole aggro and debuff so he can go back and heal . This will allow to take control in battles

1. Update bios
2. Check if CPU has right temperatures
3. Remove whole Nvidia driver with everything
4. Install version 337.88!!!!! and now important thing DRIVER + PHYSX+HD SOUND NOTHING ELSE
5. If this didn’t help you can disable SPI on Ur router
6. Know bugs are with RAZER drivers! And AVG! antivirus
7. Check for motherboard updates

I hope it will fix Ur kitten black screen of death issue

Problem: Game will freeze up every 5-10 minutes, no pattern, just randomly. Video will freeze, the Guild Wars client will grey out and a box will display “not responding”. Audio such as music, sound effects, battles, etc around me will continue as normal. No specific action, event, character, etc triggers it. Occasionally the NVidia kernel will recover and display a message that is has crashed and recovered, other times, nothing.

Fullscreen: Often I will need to reset the pc as the screen will black out.
Windowed / Windowed fullscreen: Client freezes and I can end task it. See above under ‘Problem’ for details.

Things I have tried:

- Downgraded Nvidia drivers to previous generations, spanning an entire year of releases.
- Setting Nvidia performance to max, instead of ‘adaptive’
- Played with Guild Wars Graphics settings, FXAA, Blurs, Presets, render samplings, etc.
- SFC on my windows, no errors
- check disk on my drive, no errors
- HD Tune sector drive and general health checks, no errors
- Reformatted PC, fresh install
- Disabling all graphical effects for Windows
- Different levels of Page File / Swap capacity
- Disabling one of my two monitors, only using monitor 1, only monitor 2.
- Underclocking my memory, altering RAM timings, altering various system voltages
- Disabling any overclocks, including Speed Step auto overclock.
- Running GW2 off a flash drive
- Repairing the gw2.dat file
- Defragging the gw2.dat file
- Deleting and re-downloading the gw2.dat file

Things yet to try:

- Running a different OS
- Running the game directly off the integrated graphics
- using generic mouse and keyboard
- Running gw2 in a Virtual Machine or in a sandbox
- Giving up and playing other games.

No other games, programs, apps, etc cause any issues with my machine. Every other.. everything, runs fine. Games like Borderlands 2, to Alien Isolation on MAX no issues. Old games like Deus Ex, Quake, Minecraft, no issues. Photoshop, Premier, Youtube, Blue-Ray rip movies, no issue. Not a kitten hicup anywhere from anything that would lead me to believe my pc is having a problem. I only recently came back after a 2 year break and the pc I used to use has long been replaced.

I am at my wits end. Is there a program I can attach to my kernel drivers or directly to GW2.exe to capture any information that may help me find a solution? I’ve tried a user-level full memory dump but the dmp file gives absolutely bugger-all useful info.

Attached is a DXDIAG report. Anet, please help.

I can help you dude you need to get every driver and utility for Ur motherboard and that’s it it worked for me i had same problem

we have even the same rig x)

Bryzy.2719:

Sometimes they’re often, sometimes they’ll only happen once in a day.

The client will randomly freeze during gameplay and my computer will crash.

This message pops up but only if it recovers from the crash – 8 times out of 10 the client crash will crash my computer completely:

“Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, version 347.25 stopped responding and has successfully recovered.”

I updated all my nvidia graphics drivers but the crashes still happen just as frequently. Any ideas?

i fixed it just download every motherboard driver even those what you will never need
it fixed game for me

i have the same issue….

well kitten new dungeons if they wont change current mechanics .. we need new fresh design to do those dungeons not new skinned zerg rushes

well if really we can climb that high maybe somekind of flying combat? easiest for me it would be to suggest combat similar what was in attack on titan we already will be able to use something to flying

Naus the Gobbo.5172:

They most likely hired Diemer to do the music.

He is a fantastic composer.

thats true i would love to hear new masterpieces already but i really hope that maps will have their own themes

It does make specific ambient please i never liked random loop in gw2 with old music from gw1

if it isn’t xpack people will just leave the game and it will slowly die we need more content in a huge scale but this is all in anet hands most of players right now doesnt even care anymore

more skills for characters could change something well maybe we need something like trinity but different somehow?

niea.7504:

Can I have your stuff before you decide you don’t want to come back for the seventh time?

around 6 times left after that yeah sure

Meglobob.8620:

The OP as summed up GW2 problem really thou…essentially once you reach 80th lvl and unlocked everything on your character that’s a end to any character development.

After that, there is nothing you can do to make your character more powerful, no character development at all. Essentially game over, once you have all 8 classes to lvl 80 with everything unlocked.

Define “everything unlocked”? If you say “everything unlocked” means having full ascended gear you don’t understand the meaning of horizontal progression vs. vertical. GW2 is a horizontal progression game (although it seem by introducing Ascended gear they took a step into vertical direction, albeit a quite small one) where your character progression is measured by your achievements and wardrobe/miniature/title etc. unlocks.

If you mean by “everything unlocked” having all achievements done, and all wardrobe items and miniatures unlocked, then yes I agree that’s about as game over as it can be in an MMO. I don’t think anyone has done it yet, though.

Right but in GW1 there where much more stuff to do UW , HC modes , and then after xpacks even more and it was fun for me still UW has a little mystery behind

Gw2 had something and its gone for a lot of people.

Can you elaborate on what that something is that GW2 had and no longer does?

People where everywhere every event was something big , i remember swamp battle where around 50 players where in that fight this was a gw2 for me . Lots of people , lots of secrets ( la jumping puzzles) etc etc mostly it had stuff what Angry Joe said in hes review about gw2

This
I’m not into WoW just zerg didn’t work well for end game that’s it thats mine opinion

jokke.6239:

Well .. Take a break then, no reason to continue if you are not enjoying it anymore. But stay tuned for the upcoming announcement though this saturday. We might be getting an expansion soon.

Well expansion could help a lot but maybe if they introduce holy trinity and something like raids or whatever. Gw2 had something and its gone for a lot of people.

I’m trying its mine 6th time but still i don’t feel like something left here to be done even new character, i don’t care about stuff what doesn’t respect mine time like time wasting achievements etc. crap.. i had epic journey in that game but just after realize it was fun even if it had some issues. But i didn’t matter there where a people to play, and mystery to discover.
Now i feel empty inside this big world without reason to go on.

Corsair CS Series 650W Modular 80+ GOLD – Here anyway with Dvi cable i have still issue but instead of crashing up game freezes for a moment and then runs again freeze is for about 5s then works for around another 5s.. ( but i clearly can see artifacts) . So right i will give it for guarantee but why really metro LL wasnt that heavy? weird

Artifacts usually means bad vRAM on the GPU.
its possible your other game(s) werent using all memory on the GPU (where GW2 can, depending on your character limit settings).

Well sometimes those artifacs show up sometimes not but at the end game crashes to deskop with issue that driver stopped working but it came back to stability.Tommorow i will take this back then well crap..

HDMI but why i should use DVI while HDMI is much better?

HDMI and DVI are the same quality, and offer the same compression rates. One is not better then the other in terms of video. the only difference is that HDMI also carries your Audio.

its more then likely your GPU is defective, and that when you switch to DVI the hum will go away (since the GPU isnt also processing sound data).

Basically, if the DVI cable fixes the issue, its either a shorted HDMI cable (super rare, unless the cable is cut) or a bad GPU.

If its broken why i never had issues in other games? For me at least it doesn’t make sense its just Guild Wars 2 where those issues show up.

Because GW2 will stress your system unlike any other game can. its really crazy how much power GW2 requires to run smoothly.

I will run VideoCard Stability test to be sure before i will take actions

enermax.4537:

have you even try with an other cable like dvi ?

no i didn’t later today i will try to do that

its just in GW2 so it can’t be video card

Played without any issues :
Dota2
Metro Last Light
WoW + higher than ultra settings
Ac4

Rig brand new pc
780 gtx
i7 4770k
Gw2 installed at ssd
win 7 64 bit original .
Formated PC , new drivers , fresh gw2 install and all possible reinstall things are done.

Issue :
I can hear buzzing sound , then game freezes after second screen crashses totaly it shows up an error " no signal found HDMI " , then it recovers at deskop i can see driver stopped working. This thing hapends only in gw2 how i can solve it ? I tryed already to set Default refreshing rate , then i took it to every possible option and this is still here help because i can’t play the kitten game at notebook gw2 works just fine.

Tread about CoF Route 2 “Magg” and my question.. where is logic of dying at event while he’s charging up bomb?

Gryph.8237:

greatsword on a caster just grates on my nerves. Jesus, fix axe, and create a scythe like blade on a short handle and I am happier than running a greatsword. 2 weapons gives a chance for 2 sigils anyways. Staff is the only 2 handed weapon I care about.

I say just up the kitten axe damage and you will make a lot of necros happy.

i get ur point but why not to brake those mage stereotypic about them?

Lukin.4061:

I would suggest using punctuation more, because it is not very easy to read a 7 lined sentence.

I have to agree, that necromancer lacks a pure burst build, although full power build with dagger*focus/axe*warhorn or dagger does a pretty decent dmg, since you can stack vuln. on enemies very fast (focus and well = ~15 stacks in few seconds). The greatswords 5 ability is in my opinion overpowered, since blocking every 5 sec + added toughness + deatshroud would create a huge defense capabilities, not to mention when stacking utility skills like wells/armor with the 2nd option that adds healing and regeneration.

Light armor with Tg =/= Heavy armor with Tg thats why i wont be that heavy bunker like guardian also thing about tg buff with balanced values

Lukin.4061:

Interesting suggestion, but I would suggest stop your fantasies – necromancer is a forgotten class, with countless bugs, and adding your great sword would actually mean that more then conditionmancer is viable in pvp, and that is just not what devs planned for our profession.

Also I think your ability #5 is a bit too overpowered. Also #4 is just insane, why should we get summons from weapons, that is for mesmers, we need to use all our utilities to create minions.

Well but it doesnt mean that necromancer must be forgotten class or bugged also condi is a way for necromancer its something diffrent that pure damage and you have to think while playing remember that necromancer is using tg in condi builds and he lacks in burst damage that GS idea is fixing that about op skills we talk here about Light Armor class what in this vision will fight in mele image Light armor with some buffs like block vs Heavy Armor and summoning new add’s well it isnt all about MM build Gw2 is more PVP than PvE at least atm

mafipulater.1285:

“Everyone wants greatswords,”

Because they are already implemented in game also those weapons are made to deal biggest damage

" despite the fact that four other professions already use them, and completely disregarding all flavor issues! "

More problematic can be adding new weapon special for necromancer

“Heck, why not give thieves greatswords too? Nevermind how they can remain stealthy while wielding one. And don’t forget about the engineers – just throw a couple cogs on the side and voila! Flavor issues, no more.

While we’re at it, let’s just get rid of all the other weapons and replace them with greatswords. That way, every player can truly feel like they are in one of their terrible ~japanese animes~ so they can have all of the bankais, all the time. "

Sorry i have no idea what “bankai” mean Gs is just already in game thats why we should use him new weapons should be added for everyone in expns pack

bump for great justice!

Hello everyone i would like to show you my vision about greatsword for necromancer

Wearing GS should remind you of God of Death called Grenth why?
Like now staff is becoming black scythe that gs should become huge black sword and now more important stuff like skills
1-5

1 -> Classic auto-attack applying poison or bleeding effect 25% chance also vulnerability – 10% chance ( Crit adds additional 10% chance to apply effect)

2 – Death Pool aoe what will deal damage / and bonus damage if target have any condition or aoe nuke what will remove conditions from opponents but every of it will deal bonus damage

3 – Death Scream – Dealing damage and dazing near opponents and slowing them for next 3s ( 30s cd)

4 – Empowering Death Weapon – And here i couldn’t decide if 100% of chance to summon minions ( max 5 of them) or for 15-20? seconds chance to summon a minion on hit they will stay at least for 10 seconds

Depends what armor shard is activated those minions will
SoP – deal bonus damage to moving targets
SoB – healing if they hit a target ( balanced amounts .. )
SoBone – they block next attack but for cost of their life

5 – Death Shads -> What is that? Armor similar to plate in around 50% transparent colored in dark green /red / white / tone
How it will work ?
3 Options everytime you click button “5” necromancer armor will change for

Shard of Pain – Armor is increasing your Damage and Precision

Shard of Blood – Armor is increasing your Vitality , Healing Power and health regeneration

Shard of Bone – Armor is Increasing your Toughness and giving you ability to block attack every 5 seconds.

So this is my vision i think that every class in Gw2 have specific ways of gameplay thats why making more special necromancer is welcome tell me what you think or maybe what should be changed also remember that set of skills must be balanced necro shouldn’t be OP with gs it should just give players another way to play and think while doing PvP and new weapon should fit to those weapons what we have to make extreme swap combos
