Guild Wars 2

I’m really hoping that the missions will reset and open up on HoT launch.

As a returning guild leader, along with a large handful of returning guild members, we did our guild missions to get back into the swing of things just after this week’s reset without realizing it.

So awesome, thank you so much Joyce!

Gold should be in your mail!

Thank you again! <3

Thanks for the update, Joyce!

Very excited to see what you make from the character screenshots.

Thanks in advance and can’t wait!

Heya Joyce!

I’d love to take up to the allotted 3 slots if they are available, but any number will suffice for me.

As you instructed to me, here are up to four images for the sketches. The first outfit is the one I’d like to see if only one sketch is available. At the end of the day, I would be happy to see what you come up with no matter what.

• 1st – Outfit A (“leg/belly tattoos” optional/not preferred)
• 2nd – Outfit B
• 3rd – Full creative freedom! <3 Whatever you’d like! Any outfit/pose.

Left you a message in you inbox!

Much appreciated!

Hello!

I’ve been looking for a guide that will help teach me the fundamentals in learning how to utilize the API system ArenaNet has presented. I don’t have much coding experience beyond very, very light HTML.

While the endgame is to create some kind of web-based or stand-alone application, the initial goal is simply to find the tools to get started.

Do you have any recommendations (guides, tools, tips, etc.) on how to get started in learning how to code with API for software/web-based applications, to someone who is new to coding?

Questions that I have, without any prior experience:

1. What kind of program do I need to use to “create an application”?
2. What coding/programming languages can I use, or which languages are recommended?
3. Any guides on where to begin learning this language?
4. How does one implement these applications into a website and/or stand-alone program?

Any help would be much appreciated!

I might not be around to watch during the giveaways, but gave you a +1 to follow to help/support!

Might want to include the type of content you’ll be streaming. =]

Best wishes!

As the title suggests, I’m curious to know and better understand what the EULA permits on a transaction of using in-game currency (items or gold) to acquire the services of someone out-of-game or any finished products?

For example, are we permitted to use gold to give to one player for their artistic services by way of a “commission”? I’ve seen some threads already floating around on this part of the forum, so I’m inclined to think it’s acceptable, but would like to know with better clarity. Thanks!

@sirsquishy – I haven’t been able to find any settings in VMWare Player that will let me customize the video card usage and therefor haven’t been able to set “Video Ram.” I can set limits for number of processors (cores?) and RAM usage. Which is at 2 and 2gb respectively at the moment. (Host/System is 4 cores and 6gb)

While the GuestOS GW2 on lowest settings “can” achieve 80 fps in an idle area, I’ve no intention to keep it that way and will cap it (via GW2) at either 30 or 60, likely 30.

Are there other tools o settings in VMWare Player that I’m just not noticing?

I have an i5-2320 with a GTX 560ti. My monitors are 1920×1080 + 1280×1024

Both the host and the GuestOS/VM is a Window 7 operating system. (64 bit)

Guest GW2 was on “Highest Performance” (Lowest possible graphical settings) while in some part of Queensdale with the Frame Limiter set at Unlimited. The resolution was pretty low at the time. Increasing the resolution to something more bearable will likely drop it further from 80 FPS.

My issue (although low priority at the moment) with the mouse is that when I hold right click and drag in one direction., it will eventually “hit the side of the screen” and stop moving. Where as in a normal GW2 client, you could spin around in circles endlessly while clicking-and-dragging in one direction.

Thank you for the very quick response. I finally got around to trying the suggestions you had. I first tried you three bullets that you suggested: I tried each one, launched GW2 and then moved onto the next. None of these worked. I thought that they might, as I completely forgot about the Windows Updates. I noticed that I wasn’t able to install NVidia Drivers as it wasn’t recognizing a graphics card.

However, I came back and re-read your post: I hadn’t installed VMWare Tools and with a bit of fiddling around managed to get it installed. One Virtual Machine reboot later, Guild Wars has now successfully launched (via the .exe in the GW2 folder). It seems as though the VMWare Tools was the missing key component.

Thank you for the help!

I still have some tweaking to make it work pretty well as far as mouse performance goes, but it seems to be running at 80+ FPS on lowest settings without a frame limit. (Far more than I was expecting on a VM).

Hello, I’ve been trying to find a way to run two unique clients of Guild Wars 2 on the same machine. I’ve tried to contact ArenaNet for support, but this is not something that they are able to give assistance with. They recommended to find or start a thread on the forums.

I’m looking for someone that can either help me out with the steps to installing GW2 on a Virtual Machine or any alternative to achieve two unique clients on one machine.

I have tried using VMware Player, but when attempting to install GW2 (or just the launcher?) it only got to about 10.2kb, stopped, relaunched, asked for administration to make changes (I hit yes), and then stops completely. Relaunching will start back at zero, get back up to about 10.2kb and repeat.

I’ve also tried launching the gw2.exe from the file in GW2’s folder to try and download the .dat. On the launcher it will not show how much it’s downloaded or the rate in which it’s downloading (staying at 0kb and 0kb/second), however refreshing the folder that GW2 is in shows the .dat file size increasing. I left this run over night to get the ~17gb file size. The only way to close this launcher was to Al+F4 / Windows Task Manager and end it. This also did not work.

If anyone has had experience with this or knows a guide in which I can refer to, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I had this warning come up for me twice in the past week. Both times, however, it seems linked to whenever my character has leveled up.

Personally, I don’t know which track that is, but if you’re determined enough, you could go through the game’s soundtrack. I found it on YouTube as a playlist:

Looks like 118 tracks by ‘GuildWars2OST’ on YouTube.

There should be a way to to ‘replace’ in-game music with your own music, if you happen to own it on your computer. Haven’t done it myself, so I can’t help from personal experience, but there should be guides on these forums.
